Nanjing is already the first month of the first year of Hongguang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The official gentry of Dengzhou turned against the water, or according to the Qing army, "return to obedience" and "anyway". After this news was sent to Nanjing by clipper, it secretly set off a wave in the city of Nanjing. Many people are looking forward to this news, which can make Li Shouhan vomit blood and faint again.

"This person's eldest son has been punished by heaven, and the people of Denglai have risen up anyway. It seems that Shandong has no place for this person, and my generation can just borrow the Qing army and horses to cut it off! Some people secretly speculated and analyzed at their respective poetry and wine tea parties.

However, what is surprising is that Li Shouhan did not vomit blood like the last time when the news of Li Huayu's death came, but instead devoted himself energetically to the preparations for Zhu Yousong's enthronement ceremony, and was busy with Ma Shiying for the official succession of the Hongguang Emperor and the change of the yuan.

You say he's a strong fighter? However, there is news and legend in the market that Li Zhenli, the proprietress of Meixiang Mansion, has been feeling unwell recently, and has sent people to find dried apricots and other things in candied fruit shops all over Nanjing. Who is Li Zhenli, no one in Nanjing City does not know. In order to appease this Miss Li, many merchants spared no expense and sent their men around to buy these sweet and sour dried and fresh fruits and offer them to Miss Li. And the seventh lady of the Guogong Mansion, Ao Lei Yilan, took dozens of barbarian women to live in Meixiang Building, in order to take care of her.

"Dog thief! It's so debauchery! Looking at those Sauron women who were as cheerful as aspen trees from a distance, they were in and out of Meixiang Building, taking care of Li Zhenli's living and eating with laughter. I couldn't help but curse Li Shouhan's absurdity and shamelessness on the boat on the Qinhuai River.

However, no matter how you scold, you have never scolded a single hair of our Liang Guogong. The so-called Qianfu refers to dying without illness seems to be ineffective for him. He is discussing many details of the enthronement ceremony with Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying.

"Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony must be held in a grand and grand manner. Only then can we boost the morale of the army and show the prosperity of the country. ”

Together with Ma Shiying, a scholar of the First Auxiliary University of the Cabinet, and the prelude to Emperor Zhu Yousongjun of Hongguang, Li Shouhan set the tone for the enthronement ceremony as soon as he opened his mouth.

The scenery is grand, this is easy to do, as long as a lot of silver dollars are paved, it will naturally be grand. As long as you, Liang Guogong, are willing to advance money and grain to the inner government, the Ministry of Rites and the celebrant will definitely be able to do this thing in a beautiful way, just like the Spring Festival Gala.

However, if you want to move forward in the future, these four words are difficult. Not to mention the exploits of the two emperors Taizu and Chengzu, the prosperity of Yongle was created in the hands of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi and Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and in the eyes of today's Ming court, they are all unattainable. Originally! Only half of the rivers and mountains remained, north of the Yellow River, until the Jin, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places between the Jiang and Han dynasties, which forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, and defeated the thief Dashun army Li Zicheng in Beijing City, and the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Manchuria were entrenched in the Beijing Division, occupying the northern Zhili and Jinggi, Shandong and other places. Another bandit leader, Zhang Xianzhong, was officially named the founding emperor in Chengdu Mansion, claiming to be the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, and the year name Dashun.

In this kind of enemy on all sides, between the wind and rain, how can we create an atmosphere of moving forward from afar?

Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying looked at Li Shouhan with puzzled eyes.

"Your Majesty thinks that if all the countries come to the court, what will be the signs like when Chengzu was alive during the Yongle period?"

"All nations are coming?!"

Without Zhu Yousong's statement, Ma Shiying took the lead in exclaiming. This is a scene that only existed when Yongle was prosperous and Renxuan ruled! If such a scene can be seen in the first year of Hongguang, it will undoubtedly be a great thing to declare the legitimacy of the Hongguang court.

If it is really like the Three Treasure Eunuchs who went to the West during the Yongle period, bringing a large number of envoys from Western kings and the like, who can say that this Hongguang Emperor is not the true son of heaven? Is he incompetent as a first-aided scholar of the cabinet?

Not only Ma University students think so, but even Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong thinks so. As long as I sit on the Jinluan Palace, officially ascend the throne and change the Yuan, and then there are four Yi guest clothes, and all countries come to court, who can say that I am not right?

"Aiqing, saying so, could it be that you are already confident?" Zhu Yousong's eyes flashed with excitement. Ma Shiying, who was sitting on the embroidery pier on the side, also wanted to swallow Li Shouhan in one bite.

"General, coming from all directions is naturally a prosperous move. It's just that, according to the old system over the years, all kinds of receptions, teaching etiquette, worshipping with the class, rewards, etc., have to be done in every case. Everything is complicated, and the consumption is not small, so I still ask the general to explain it as soon as possible. The students also let the company prepare for one or two. Ma Shiying considers these issues from a specific operational level. When these vassal states came to worship the Son of Heaven and pay tribute to the local products of all parties, they naturally had to receive them, arrange people to teach etiquette, and arrange for the general officials to interpret. And then there are rewards, and these things cannot be solved simply by having money and food.

"What the old horse said is very appropriate, exactly! General, which vassals can come, what kind of characters will come, how many attachés will come, and when will they arrive, these still have to be planned as early as possible. Zhu Yousong also couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

Li Shouhan secretly laughed in his heart and his stomach hurt!

Those so-called overseas states now have to act according to the face of Liang Guogong, and they have to rely on the most important section of the East-West trade controlled by the old Li family to eat. If they dare not give Li Shouhan face, and do not discourage the sailors and land divisions of the Nanyue Army from dispatching, as long as they release a sentence in the trade system, "The goods and trade of a certain place have been canceled for the time being." Stopped. "If you don't have to do it yourself, the local people and the nearby regime will eat this short-sighted guy alive. Lao Tzu asked you to come to Nanjing to worship the great tomorrow, which is to give you a lot of face, proving that you are a heavyweight with status in the eyes of the Nanyue Army!

"Aiqing, there are probably those overseas vassals who can come, how many people can come, we also have to know in our hearts, so that you can prepare." Zhu Yousong had little stars in his eyes, and looked at Li Shouhan eagerly. After all, this ceremony is the highest peak of his life. "If it doesn't take a break, then the matter can be closed."

"Your Majesty, Ma Shoufu, please forgive a certain family for trespassing without permission. When His Majesty entered the city of Nanjing, a certain family began to plan this matter. He ordered the sailor to pass down the order, and ordered overseas countries to send envoys to Beijing to worship my new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now there are a lot of them one after another. ”

"Oh! What are the kingdoms? How many times have you paid tribute in my Ming Dynasty? What is the grade of the country's master?! Zhu Yousong was already dizzy by this sudden sense of happiness, as if he had drunk seven or eight bottles of Kweichow Mao wine.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Lee family, who has rebelled against the Korean state affairs, the Japanese lord has sent his subordinate Matsudaira old Naka Shintsuna to lead the mission. The Ryukyu Kuni's Shoke family led the mission. Burma, Siam and other countries, each with its own mission. ”

Japan, Ryukyu, Burma, Siam, this is the country that Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying are more familiar with. Especially in Japan, when Emperor Shenzong was in power, one of the so-called three major expeditions was to fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Korea and Japan for many years. Hundreds of thousands of teachers were lost and millions of dollars were spent on salaries, which saved the vassal state of Korea. Today, Korea has been in rebellion for many years, and it is said that it also sent soldiers and horses to accompany the Qing army into the customs. However, Japan, the enemy country of the year, sent an embassy to worship, which suddenly made Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying feel that the world is impermanent, and our Hongguang Emperor has a kind of pride in his chest.

"When Emperor Wanli was alive, in order to deal with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he still had to use the money of the inner government to pay for the Eastern Expeditionary Army. When I arrived, as long as my generals issued an order, these would-be would-be busy running to see me! ”

In addition to the above four families, there are dozens of lords and chiefs from Tianzhu, Tianfang and other places, or they have personally arrived, or sent princes and ministers to come. For example, Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands and other countries also sent ministers to worship. ”

Li Shouhan didn't bother to memorize the names of the messy princely states on the Indian continent, so he packed these three brothers and the chiefs from the Arabian Peninsula and told Zhu Yousong. What is even more tragic is the many countries on the original Nanyang Islands. After decades of unremitting efforts by the two generations of the Li family, under the sweep of the Great Demon Kings Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi on the sixth day, they have long disappeared and disappeared into the waves of the South China Sea.

"In addition, so that Your Majesty and Lord Shousuke may rejoice, a few days ago there was an urgent report from the clipper. There are wooden bones and Dushu chiefs who take a sea boat to Nanjing to worship the Son of Heaven and offer unicorns and other beasts. In addition, the Ottoman fleet also arrived in Guangzhou, and it was expected to arrive in Nanjing in a few days. ”

Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying don't know where the wooden bones are, but the two of them have an impression in their minds about the unicorn. This unicorn is not the one mentioned in Confucius's book "Confucius hunted the forest in the west, so he did not make the spring and autumn." The kind of unicorn. (The West Hunting for Lin is about the time when the Duke of Lu Ai led his ministers to hunt and chose the southern mountainous area of Jiaxiang, and by blasting away the beast, he suddenly disturbed a divine beast, that is, the Qilin.) After this divine beast was disturbed, he fled in a hurry, and Lu Aigong and his ministers saw a divine beast that they had never seen before, and felt very curious, so they desperately chased after it. Among them, the horse of Uncle Sun's rook merchant ran faster, and the rook merchant shot an arrow at the unicorn in the back, and the unicorn continued to run westward after being hit by the arrow. According to the speed of the war horse, it should be a long distance, and this distance is the distance from Jiaxiang to Juye. In the end, the unicorn was surrounded and captured by a group of people and horses in the west of Wolong Mountain in Jiaxiang because of his injury, and found that it was a female beast that had never been seen before. Later, a master was invited to appraise it. He saw the Qilin injured and frightened in his heart, this is Lin, the world's first benevolent beast, people gather in kind, things in groups, benevolent people love all life in the world, and the compassion is indescribable, so it is recommended that Lu Aigong take the Qilin back to heal. I didn't want the unicorn to die soon after not eating or drinking due to excessive fright, and was buried in Qilin Town, Juye County. ）

It was the unicorn that Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, went to the West back then, and the king of the wooden bones bundled himself to the ancestor Yongle Ye!

Japan's tribute and worship have already made Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying overjoyed, and now there are wooden bones far away from the Peerless Domain, and the lord of the country has sent people to pay tribute to the Qilin! Doesn't this mean that the Yongle prosperous era created by the Yongle Emperor Ancestor back then has reappeared in our hands? In the future, when the history books describe my dynasty, will it be called "Hongguang Zhongxing"? Just like Guangwu Zhongxing back then?

"General, where is this Ottoman country?" Ma Shiying tried to maintain the demeanor of a former scholar and try to keep his head clear and calm. lest he fall into the laughing stock and be secretly ridiculed by Li Shouhan.

"Lord Shoufu, this Ottoman, is it true that he and I have been friends since ancient times!" Li Shouhan took the tea handed over by the eunuch beside Zhu Yousong with a very good eye, took a big sip, and put the teacup aside.

"The Ottomans are thousands of miles away in the Western Regions, how can they be with my Celestial Empire since ancient times?" Ma Shiying searched for dry intestines, but he couldn't remember the relationship between the Ottoman Kingdom and the Central Plains Celestial Empire.

"Lord Shoufu, do you know that during the Jiajing period, the batch of Lu Mi guns copied by Zhao Shizhen was originally a tribute from Lu Mi Kingdom. This Rumi country is the vassal state of the Uthmans. It's just that these Fanbang countries are different from the system of our Celestial Empire, often Qin comes to surrender Qin and Chu comes to surrender to Chu, how can there be any loyalty and righteousness! ”

"This Rumi country is a vassal state of the Uthmans, but where did this Osman originate? Their ancestors were the Turks of the Sui and Tang dynasties! He was chased all the way north by Li Weigong, Li Jing and others of our Celestial Empire army, fled thousands of miles away, and gradually recuperated. At the beginning of the dynasty, the Yuan horse Timur rose to the river, and they were defeated by Timur. The Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I was captured and imprisoned in an iron cage. All the concubines and dependents of the Ottoman royal family became prisoners, and the Sultan's newly married Serbian princess Despina stripped naked and waited for Timur's banquet, which was even more humiliating than when Emperor Huiqin II served the Jin people in a small hat and a small hat. However, the winds do not end and the rains do not end. Although Timur's army was strong, he did not know the general trend of the world. In a vain attempt to return to the east, the soldiers attacked my Ming. At that time, it was the reign of Emperor Yongle, the ancestor of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses were strong for a while. If this person goes eastward, he will inevitably die and the country will be destroyed. However, this man's fate is also very good. On the way east, he fell seriously ill and died. After his death, his descendants competed for the throne and fought for the throne, and the earth-shattering career he created during his lifetime turned into powder in an instant. This gave Ottoman the opportunity to revive Zhongxing. ”

The founder of the Timurid Empire, the lame wolf, who is famous in Western history, is called "Yuan Juma" in the historical records of the Ming Dynasty. This is because he was once the master of the Western Chagatai Khanate, and later usurped power and founded the empire. There was such a record in the history of the Ming Dynasty that Timur, the Yuan horse, ascended the throne of Samarkand, and sent his son Shaharu to Harai. During the ancient Hongwu period, Samarkand and Don't lose the tribute of Balixian, and Haret Road was far away. Twenty-five years to send an edict to the king, give Wenqi and color coins, but it still does not come. In the twenty-eighth year, Fu An, Guo Ji and others were sent to the incident with 1,500 soldiers, but they were left by Samarkand and could not be reached. In the past 30 years, he sent Chen Dewen to wait for Chen Dewen, an envoy from Beiping, but he did not return for a long time.

So, since ancient times.

"This Ottoman ancestor was canonized for my Sui and Tang dynasties, and was later defeated by the Yuan horse Timur and called a minister. Are the subordinates of the ministers not the vassals of my Celestial Empire? Now, although Timur is dead, the dignity of the upper and lower cannot be abolished. Therefore, he sent tribute. ”

Li Shouhan finished telling the ins and outs of this set since ancient times, and Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying were dumbfounded. It turns out that shamelessness can still be so much! General, I never thought you would be in such a shameless situation!

Such a grand event can be recorded in the history books in the future. The Ming Dynasty unified all directions, the Son of Heaven was a saint of civil and martial arts, and he was a billionaire of benevolence and righteousness. Jitian Polar Land, raise the tribute of cultivation. Since the birth of the people, there has not been such a prosperous man as he is today. ”

Li Shouhan didn't know that the two monarchs and ministers in front of him were sincerely praising in their hearts, so they just gave out bursts of praise there.

"Good is good. It's just that so many foreign vassals came to worship and pay tribute, this, this, the question of reward, according to the practice of my Ming Dynasty, how to reward it, how to prepare this reward money and grain, where to come from, there must be a charter as early as possible. Now, no compared to when the Yongle Emperor Ancestor was alive, the military salary expenditure everywhere was huge, and with such an expense, I am worried that the government treasury will not be able to support it. Zhu Yousong finally couldn't help it and expressed his inner worries.

History: On July 25, the ninth year of Yongle, "the king of Manraka, Baili Misura, led his wife and courtiers more than 540 people into the court. At the beginning, Shang (Ming Chengzu) heard about it, and thought that he went to the countryside lightly and trekked to the seaway, that is, he sent officials to work, and he reinstated his life to have a division for Zhang Huitong. On that day, the table was presented and the party was offered. Go to the royal palace to feast at the gate of heaven, and don't feast on the princess and courtiers. He still ordered Guanglu Temple to give the animal to the slaughter, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to give the king two gold embroidered dragon clothes, one unicorn clothes, and gold and silver utensils, drapery and mattress. Give the princess and her nephews, courtiers, concubines, Wenqi, saros, and clothes. "Manraka is a small country, and its mission has more than 540 people, if such a large and high-standard joint tributary mission arrives in Nanjing together, as Li Shouhan said, won't I be completely destroyed?!

Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying both set their sights on Li Shouhan again.

Anyway, these people are found by your general, and you should come up with an idea of how to reward and send these people. As for those rewards, it is better for you to give them as well.
