Chapter 135: Tantra

Nanning is embroidered in Guangdong, Yanjing is dressed in mink brocade, and Daming Shenjing has been shrouded in snow.

Zhu Yijun just instructed the celebrant to give the assistant ministers and the Japanese lecturer salted meat, walnuts, dates, persimmons, chestnuts, dried water chestnut rice and other things to boil porridge in the Laba Festival, after returning to the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, before he had time to sit down, Chen Ju followed, holding a piece of music in his hand, bowed down and said: "Emperor, there is Guangxi Gao Zhizhi Secret Music." ”

"Tantra?" Zhu Yijun was slightly stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Take it." ”

Chen Ju hurriedly handed over the secret music, Zhu Yijun took it, and while checking the fire paint, he asked: "Last time, I heard Huang Mengyu say that he pragmatically transferred thousands of families to Qinzhou, and that place was so badly troubled by the Japanese invaders, and it took so many people to guard it to build a port and two factories?" ”

Chen Ju said: "I heard that it was ruined, and it was said that there were no people in the twenty miles along the coast of the port. ”

"Oh, it seems that the investment in pragmatism is not small." Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I don't know if he can make Qinzhou Port with this little golden hand, if it can really be done, Guangxi will have one more input, and the total province will have to reduce the amount every year...... I remember that this year they only had a total of more than 158,000 taels, but later the cabinet calculated and subtracted them by 17,000 taels, right? ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor has a really good memory." Chen Ju replied with a smile.

"That's good, so someone said that I remember money in my heart." Zhu Yijun snorted and said angrily.

"Hehehe, why should the emperor pay attention to these gossip, didn't Gao Wenzheng just say it at the beginning, Hong Fan Bazheng, the first food; Yu Mo three things, finally good life. It shows that the ancient sages were extremely reliant on words; Later generations of pedantic and well-known people advocated the idea of not saying profit, so that those who did not understand the national system turned to pass on their habits, and even misunderstood state affairs, so that there were no people who managed the country's finances. ”

"Mr. Gao can say this, but you have to say less." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Whether Mr. Gao is pragmatic or pragmatic, when they say this, people can't scold them back, but if you say the word 'vulgar Confucian'...... Hehe, if the court knows about it, tomorrow in the General Administration, there will be a stack of folds taller than you who are going to cut off your head, do you believe it or not? ”

"The slave and maid naturally believe it, so the slave and maid only dare to quote Mr. Gao's original words." Chen Ju made a look of sincere fear, which made Zhu Yijun laugh.

Turning on the high-pragmatism secret music, Zhu Yijun was still smiling, but when he looked at it, he turned into a serious face.

Chen Ju naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to ask, but it didn't take long for Zhu Yijun to speak to him and said, "Pragmatic was assassinated in Guangxi." ”

Chen Ju was taken aback: "Assassinated? For a moment, his face turned white with fright.

Zhu Yijun frowned and waved his hand: "I didn't make it clear, he was assassinated, but it's no big deal...... Maybe a little frightened. ”

Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and asked with some fear: "Who is so bold that he dares to even point high?" ”

"Strange is strange here." Zhu Yijun thought about it and said: "He said that it was Annan Mo Maoqia's people who did it, and not only did it to him, there was a lot of toast around him at that time, and Mo Maoqia's people actually wanted to kill them all, not only using poisonous fire and hand cannons, but also using Gu poison." ”

"Mo Maocha?" Chen Ju was dumbfounded and said, "This guy is crazy? ”

"Crazy? I'm not crazy, I'm sober. Zhu Yijun snorted and said: "Pragmatically speaking, since Mo Maoqia took office, the military power and political power have been in the hands of his two uncles and grandfathers, one is called Mo Jingdian and the other is called Mo Dunrang. Not long ago, Mo Jingdian, who was in charge of the army, died, and the Li Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty of Annan was about to move, and Mo Maoqia was worried that my Ming Dynasty would take the opportunity to take his Northern Annan, so he came up with this move, planning to muddy the waters of Guangxi, and wait for them to win a battle against the Li Dynasty and stabilize the situation. ”

Chen Ju still looked puzzled, and said in surprise: "But we didn't want to fight Annan, right?" The slave remembered that no one had even mentioned Annan in the DPRK recently. "He is also one of the celebrants, of course, he knows the movements of the DPRK and China.

"We don't, but pragmatically speculated, Mo Maoqia should have misjudged the situation." Zhu Yijun was also a little speechless, rolled his eyes very unexpectedly, and said: "After being pragmatic to Guangxi, he successively pacified the two civil strife in Siming Prefecture and Sicheng Prefecture, and his prestige is flourishing. It just so happened that because he wanted to open a port and build a factory in Qinzhou, he transferred thousands of families to the past, plus he needed to transport various materials by sea. In Mo Maoqia's opinion, this is the so-called gathering of land and water armies, as if we are going to use troops against him, so we will do this stupid thing. ”

Chen Ju couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Hey, I really don't know if this Mo Maoqia is timid or bold, let's say he is bold, this is just a high-minded transfer of some family members in his own family, which actually scared him like this; It can be said that he is cowardly, he dares to assassinate a provincial patrol! Committing such a big crime, wouldn't it force the imperial court to send troops to beat him? ”

Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "That's right, but pragmatically persuade me not to send an army, he has a better way." ”

Chen Ju was stunned: "A better way?" Could it be that Gao Zhizhi wants to follow the story of Zhang Yue back then? ”

The so-called Zhang Yue story in his mouth is like this: When Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, the political situation in Annan was turbulent, and he did not come to congratulate, and no one responded to the Ming Dynasty's edict to the border. Because Annan did not come to pay tribute for a long time, and the Ming envoy could not go to Annan to proclaim the edict, Emperor Jiajing decided to ask Annan about the crime of not paying tribute.

In the fifteenth year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty sent thousands of households to Tao Fengyi and others to inquire about the reason why Annan did not come to pay tribute for a long time. At the beginning of the sixteenth year, the Ming Dynasty aimed at the usurper Mo Dengyong, and made Qiu Luan and Mao Bowen commanders, and concentrated their forces on the Sino-Vietnamese border in Liangguang and Yunnan.

However, at that time, most of the local officials in Liangguang did not advocate the use of troops against Annam, so in May of the 16th year, Pan Dan, the governor of Liangguang who opposed the use of troops, was transferred, and Cai Jing, the former governor of Shandong, replaced him.

After Cai Jing took office, Zhang Yue, the prefect of Lianzhou, again went up to oppose the use of troops. Cai Jing asked Zhang Yue: "Empty words to stop the army, there is no way to make a clear edict, can the son ensure that he does not use troops to surrender to the mediocre?" ”

Zhang Yue replied: "If you want to surrender it, you must order the land, order the debasement, and make the prostrate and prostrate the people, dedicate the picture books in the country, listen to the punishment, and the husband's body cannot be blasphemed", and said that this "one power is enough".

After that, Mao Bowen met Zhang Yue, and Yue "counted the Japanese" and stated that "the requisition is complete", and Berwen and Cai Jing were persuaded by him to approve Zhang Yue's plan. So, when Mo Dengyong and Zhang Yue communicated privately, "Yue used the preface to ask for it", Dengyong was "stubborn at the beginning", and Yue "was afraid of disaster, so he planned early, so Dengyong only died".

After that, in February of the eighteenth year of Jiajing, Mo Fangying sent a letter of surrender, but did not put forward the above conditions. The opinion of the Ming court and Emperor Jiajing himself was to ask the local governor and the army leaders to investigate the actual situation in Annan, and if the Mo clan "has a hidden conspiracy, then enter the army in accordance with the law of the imperial court"; If "he is bound to be on standby, and he has no other heart", then "the court will not die".

Mao Bowen and others, who led the troops on the front line, commanded the army to gather to the border to "make a big noise"; On the one hand, Wang Liangfu and others were sent to tell Mo Dengyong; "Order no need to ask for seals, no need to ask for tribute, tie up and ask for sin, return to the land and seal, go to the king's name, and Feng Zhengshuo, then the soldiers can stop, and the Dengyong can be born", and showed a handwritten letter to make him believe in the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Mo Dengyong sent a letter and went to Nanguan to ask for guilt. In the "Letter to the Elders of Annan", Mohs wrote, "Although Mo's thoughts are serious crimes, it is really a matter of affection...... His Majesty will take pity on the creatures from afar, bow down to the customs, give a new life, and check the stories of the past dynasties, either as the governor or as the protector of the capital, so that he can be in charge of state affairs and be called a vassal for the whole world."

As Zhang Yue suggested, he put forward a request to degrade the name. Qiu Luan and Mao Bowen suggested on this matter, "If you are forgiving, you may not be in the name of the chief of the capital, such as the story of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the so-called razor is also the one who governs the razor."

In the end, Emperor Jiajing ordered the Annan Kingdom to be the commander of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy, with Mo Dengyong as the Commander of the Annan Metropolis, and pointed out that "I hereby make the people Yongtu, remove the king's name, and avoid the chaos and thieves from taking over the traces and rebelling against each other."

The Ming Dynasty should have raised troops to conscript, but in order to "show mercy to distant creatures", he lowered his title as a punishment.

And this time to surrender Annan, because of Zhang Yue's plan, in the end only with a large army to press the border, but not to start, even if the imperial court to subdue Annan, but also did not waste troops, material resources, financial resources, it can be seen that its merits, Chen Ju put forward Zhang Yue's story, is to think that Gao pragmatic also intends to do so.

After all, in Chen Ju's eyes, the highly pragmatic "persuasion" ability is also very strong.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "Zhang Yue did a good job back then, but well, pragmatic appetite is better than him - pragmatic is to fight, but I don't plan to let me break the cost." ”

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart What does it mean not to let the emperor break the bank?

Zhu Yijun said triumphantly: "Pragmatically settle the accounts for me, take last year's pacification of the Bazhai Rebellion as an example, what other manpower and material resources are not counted first, just financial resources, do you know how much money the imperial court spent?" Equivalent to more than 570,000 taels of silver! There are only a lot of Yao people in Bazhai, we have spent so much money, if we go to fight an Annan that is more than ten times stronger than Bazhai, how much silver will the imperial court smash? ”

Zhu Yijun sighed: "Back in the Yongle Dynasty, the imperial court treasury was abundant, and it was repeated to fight Annan, and I didn't know how much money was spent, so Xuanmiao would simply not want this broken place later." If we go to fight again now, not to mention anything else, the household department will have to make trouble with me.

So Pragmatism came up with an idea, since this time Mo Maoqia not only did it to him, but also moved to Guixi and Guinan, then simply let the toasts send troops to teach Mo Maoqia a lesson! And Pragmatic himself couldn't swallow this breath, and planned to transfer some of the families in Qinzhou to follow him, and at the same time support some money and materials to the toasts...... That way, I don't have to break the bank. ”

Chen Ju was a little stunned, and hesitated: "Gao Zhizhi's idea is good, but there are two things that the slave maid has not figured out. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows: "What didn't you figure out?" ”

Chen Ju said: "First, if the imperial court does not send troops, will the Tusi follow Gao Zhizhi's arrangement to send troops south, even if they listen, can they beat Annan?" Second, Gao Zhi pointed out that although Qian contributed because he was angered by Mo Maoqia, in this case, wouldn't he lose a lot? ”
