Chapter 9 The Ming Dynasty's Management of Slaves

Cao Yi and Yishu came quickly.

Almost after receiving the order, he hurried up and came in the wind and snow.

And as soon as he came to Jingshi, Zhu Qizhen also immediately summoned them and asked the two of them to meet each other.

Zhu Qizhen summoned them in the Wuying Palace.

Zhu Qizhen didn't say much, and first passed the latest news from Jinyiwei from the northwest to the two of them, and it was written that Dayuan Gansu Province was also set up in Hami first.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Also unscrupulous, put the dynasty in no place, the cabinet and the five military governors all thought that the northwest was remote and unusable, but the court did not do anything, with what face to the people of the world, the British public proposed, together with the power of Datong, Xuanfu, Liaodong three towns, north attack Wuliangha." ”

"Since orthodoxy, Wuliangha has repeatedly violated the border, and the two of them have been in Liaodong for a long time, do you think this strategy is feasible?"

Cao Yi pondered for a while and said: "The British public said, naturally there is no mistake, after the minister returns, he must gather the main force of Liaodong and prepare to join forces with the two towns." ”

The same opinion is also made of the same opinion.

Zhu Qizhen has actually realized their feedback.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qizhen now chooses to intervene in the government indirectly, rather than directly.

Without him, where is the status of the British duke. Even if Cao Yi and Yishaha had some opinions in their hearts, they didn't dare to express them easily.

This is true of the British public.

If he took the initiative to implement any policy, there were a few people in the Manchu Dynasty who dared to fight with the emperor.

Even Yang Shiqi did not do this.

I really think that Shengming has no past His Majesty, just a sycophant.

No, it's also a form of political correctness.

No one will directly say that the emperor is wrong.

It is generally said that the people below deceive Shengcong. Once there is a mistake in governance, it also means that there are traitors around the emperor.

But the more Zhu Qizhen understands this era, the more he understands one thing, perhaps his main purpose is right, to develop productive forces, and to promote this era to modernity and science.

But when it comes to a specific matter, what he thinks may not be right.

If what he wants to implement is a structural shortcoming from the beginning and cannot be implemented at all, it is easy to put the ministers below in a dilemma. The emperor's order must be right and not wrong. But this one thing could not be done at all.

In this case, there are naturally ministers, with hard bones, to see the new clothes of this emperor pierced. But the problem is that ministers are in the minority after all.

More ministers will find a way to cover this up. Use a way to explain the past to the top.

Political lies come one after the other.

has even become a secret that everyone knows in the Ming officialdom, but no one tells it.

Huang Shu asked

The question is the proof.

Recently, the Yellow Book of Nanjing Houhu was sent to Beijing, and although Zhu Qizhen did not read all of them, he took a closer look at them from several counties and determined one thing.

The large-scale cost of the Yellow Book began in the early years of Yongle. During the Hongwu period, the Yellow Book was not without problems, but there were no big problems.

But in the early years of Yongle, there was a large-scale cost.

It was made up by order of Emperor Taizong just after he entered Nanjing. The time is tight, the task is heavy, and there is a strong political connotation.

Emperor Taizong is to show his legitimacy, so the data of this yellow book must be beautiful.

So, there is large-scale fraud.

After that, it was corrected, but the problem is that it is not easy to learn well, and it is difficult to learn badly, and the matter of making yellow books itself is not funded by the central government, and it is the compulsory labor of the prisoners of the country.

So in the later period of Yongle, the yellow book could not be read.

Sometimes there is a gap between them, and then the ministers know that the emperor's opinion is expressed through the vest of one of the officials below, but these ministers still oppose this minister, not the emperor.

At this time, the psychological burden of the people below is not so heavy.

This is also what Zhu Qizhen wants to understand.

It is very foolish to be an emperor to get yourself caught up in a specific matter. What the emperor himself needs to do is to make a holy judgment. Do true/false, multiple-choice questions, not arguments.

It is better for the emperor not to have a clear-cut opinion.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's not talk about the situation of Wuliangha, what I want to know is the situation of Nu'er Gandusi. Now the heart of the thorn is obvious. In my opinion, between the two powers, neither party can be independent. What is the situation of Jianzhou Nuzhen? Is there a connection between them and the Tile Thorn? ”

Yizha said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, you showed your favor to the Jurchens, and the Jurchens all felt Your Majesty's grace, and the Jianzhou Wei commanded Li Manzhu, and he was even more willing to be used by His Majesty." The minister dared to guarantee with his life, and the Jianzhou Jurchen was a loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "How many soldiers are there in Jianzhou Jurchen? ”

Yizha said: "The Jianzhou Jurchens are relatively scattered, and only Li Manzhu himself has more than 10,000 soldiers. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Ten thousand people? Once the tile spurs come to attack, can the Jianzhou Jurchens defend themselves? ”

I also lost it for a while, and I didn't know what to say.

Zhu Qizhen already understood it very well when he saw that he was like this.

To tell the truth, with more than 10,000 troops in many places, it is a big force. However, with the 300 guards in the world, the Ming Dynasty, which has more than 3 million soldiers and horses, is still known as the tile spur of 40,000 households and 400,000 households in Mongolia. It's just a bouncy.

Now Li Manzhu is throwing himself into the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty can give benefits to these tribes. The tributary system brought them profits. But this benefit is associated with tiles

Compared to the stabbing knife soldiers.

What Li Manzhu does, there is no guarantee that he will lose Ha, although he is a Jurchen and has a special relationship with the Jurchens, he does not dare to vouch for Li Manzhu.

Zhu Qizhen asked Cao Yi and said: "If the tile spur advances eastward in a big way, can Liaodong Town do it and cut off North Korea and the tile spur." And to protect the Jurchens of Jianzhou? ”

The first task mentioned by Zhu Qizhen was the task of Liaodong Town in the Taizu Dynasty, at that time the Northern Yuan still had considerable strength, and Korea had not yet been established, and it was still Goryeo.

Goryeo was the most loyal vassal of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the beginning of the establishment of Liaodong Town, there was the task of isolating the Northern Yuan and Goryeo.

This sentence shows Zhu Qizhen's unease about North Korea. Before the battle with the Tile Spur, the Tile Spur was cleared. Although Zhu Qizhen did not have the worry of tile spurs, he found that North Korea could actually join the battlefield from the perspective of tile spurs.

As for the preservation of the Jianzhou Nuzhen. But it is a reflection on Hami's loss.

The situation in Hami is irreparable, and the Jianzhou Jurchens must not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of Hami. Although Li Manju lived in more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers, it was nothing between the tile spur and the Ming Dynasty.

But if the Jurchens fall to the tile spurs, it is equivalent to 10,000 more tile spurs, and the court has 20,000 fewer soldiers.

Zhu Qizhen can't say that he understands military affairs too well, if he really asks him to lead troops to fight, he estimates that he will be blind. But the most simple truth is still understood, that is, to grasp any weight.

The Jianzhou Jurchens honestly followed the Ming Dynasty, as an old nature, they would give candy to eat, but if they wavered, Zhu Qizhen would rather let them become dead ghosts.

I will never let him take refuge in the Tile Spur.

Cao Yi said: "Your Majesty's question, it seems to be two questions, but it is actually one problem. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Where to start? ”

Cao Yi said: "Before, North Korea did not open up the six towns of Yanbian in the northwest, and Liaodong Town was enough to cut off North Korea from the tile, but now after the six towns of Yanbian, the six towns of Yanbian in North Korea are not the imperial court, but the Jianzhou Jurchens." ”

"In other words, if the Jianzhou Jurchen is on our side, it is enough to cut off the connection between the Tile Thorn and North Korea, and if the Jianzhou Jurchen is lost, it is impossible to talk about it."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yutu." ”

Zhao Huan hurriedly presented a picture of Liaodong form with both hands.

In the Wuying Palace, there are maps of various places in the Ming Dynasty and military documents.

Zhu Qizhen spread the map on top of several cases, and asked Cao Yi to step forward and point out to him where the gap was.

After Cao Yi saluted, he stepped forward and stood opposite several cases, pointing at the exit of the Mentu River. The map of the Ming Dynasty is a bit abstract. Therefore, when Zhu Qizhen saw this area, he didn't think of the one that corresponded to the future generations for a while. Because our country does not seem to have access to the sea in the Sea of Japan, he saw a long and narrow peninsula upward, and suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered where this area was. It is Vladivostok, that is, Vladivostok.
