Chapter 535: Wei Guogong, who has a strong desire to survive
Of course, it is impossible to sue a lawsuit, and it is impossible to rely on a complaint to be angry for yourself in this life.
After all, they are all in the military, especially after Emperor Chongzhen completely made the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Cabinet into two roads, Nan Juyi, who was originally a civilian official, was classified into the military system of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, just like Zhu Xieyuan.
And Nan Juyi, who has led the troops for a long time, naturally knows in his heart that it will not work to lose face in the army and rely on complaints, not to mention that his boss looks down on him, and even his own subordinates will look down on him.
For example, this time Zheng Zhilong took the lead in killing the fleet that the Dutch came to Daliuqiu to support, Zheng Zhilong was tougher than Nan Juyi, and he also sent people to Nan Juyi to show a wave.
Now if the old man Nan runs to sue Zheng Zhilong for pretending to be forced, the only possibility is that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will reproach Zheng Zhilong for a few words, and then transfer Nan Juyi to sit on the cold bench, there is no second possibility at all.
But Nan Juyi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in the Apocalypse years, when the equipment of the sailors was backward and the quality of the soldiers was poor, he could rely on the tactics of the sea of ants to play the Dutch to surrender and retreat, how could he endure the evil spirit of being bullied by Zheng Zhilong.
The solution is also very simple.
After the East China Sea Fleet arrived in Fujian, the distance from the Great Ryukyus was much closer than that of the South China Sea Fleet to Luzon to cut people.
First kill the Honanan barbarians in the Great Ryukyu, and then go to Luzon to show off in the name of helping Zheng Zhilong kill the Francois barbarians, this kind of pretending to be coercive is much deeper than Zheng Zhilong's simple pretending.
The big and small leaders under Nan Juyi also made things clear when they went back to study the angry Honans with their subordinates: "This time, let the surnamed Zheng ride to the head, I can't bear it!" Gotta go back! ”
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care much about these things of the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, and he had a bit of a sense of letting the two fleets fight.
Isn't this the virtue of the army since ancient times, even in the later Celestial Empire, the army of the flower planter still looks at each other unpleasantly - everyone thinks that their fists are big, and competition is generated in this way.
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second to say that this is the case.
However, as long as this kind of competition is controlled within a certain range, it is a good thing, and Emperor Chongzhen has absolute confidence, before he hangs up, no matter how these guys behave, they will not be able to make a big problem.
But the current Emperor Chongzhen is obviously not in the mood to pay attention to the problem of the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet competing with each other, and in the future, there will be the North Sea Fleet and the West Sea Fleet plus the Xinming Island Fleet.
Now there are more problems to worry about than these two fleets.
Because after the Nanjing earthquake in the first month, Yunnan also followed the earthquake in July, and then at the end of the year, Sichuan was unwilling to be lonely and also followed the earthquake.
The key is that there is no problem with the earthquake, it is still possible for the guards to pull out for disaster relief, and the imperial court is not short of silver, and it is timely to help the people.
But the earthquake in Sichuan is different from other places - continuous earthquakes, there is no intention to stop at all, today's big earthquake tomorrow small earthquake, the whole Sichuan area of chickens and dogs jumping.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally happy with the Xiyi barbarians, was in a very unhappy mood, so he simply pulled out a large number of officials who were both greedy and incompetent after being exempted from the people's taxes in Sichuan, and stripped the skin and grass and raided their homes by the way.
In addition to most of these officials from Sichuan, there are also officials from Renqiu, Qingyuan, Laishui, Qian'an, Dacheng, Dingxing, Tongzhou and other places.
For a while, the prison of the Criminal Department was full of people, and Wen Tiren, who was far away in the capital, and the Shangshu Fang of the Ministry of Officials simply wrote a letter to ask for guilt.
It's really Emperor Chongzhen's words that are too scary: "is still like this, and it can be known from afar." Ordered the ministry to apply for the resignation. ”
It's really too fucked up by this official, no matter how you kill it, there is always no shortage of people who are officials, and there is no shortage of these officials who like to be greedy for money.
Just like Tongzhou, an important town known as the "Outer Warehouse of the Son of Heaven", the current Lord Zhizhou was very scared when he looked at the previous scarecrow at the beginning, and he was reluctant to even go to court.
But looking at him, he was not afraid, and then his hand slowly stretched out - what is the ten-year cold window for? When I arrived at the position of Tongzhou Zhizhou, there was basically no further possibility, so why not think about myself?
So just in time for Emperor Chongzhen's hair this time, the current Lord Zhizhou has become the predecessor, and he hung up in the lobby with the former Lord Zhizhou as a scarecrow to warn the latecomers.
Of course, just like the traverser training base in later generations, there are always some tentacle monsters that change every day, and there are always some salted fish that are more indebted, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are actually similar.
There are always some greedy bastards who don't have a lot in their hearts, and there are always some officials who are very caring, know what the emperor is thinking, or know what they should do.
In the Beijing engineering department, Fu Yuanchu felt that the Longqing switch was not completely opened, and even the city divisions played by Emperor Chongzhen were not thorough.
Whether it is Longqing switch or the city, it is always an official act, although a large part of the people have been liberalized, it is not enough, and it should be more vigorous.
For example, Fujian's maritime ban should be completely opened.
If it weren't for the fear that the steps would be too big and the eggs would be pulled, Fu Yuanchu even wanted to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen simply let go of the maritime ban in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shandong.
Fu Yuanchu's reason is very simple, now the opening of the sea ban is good for the Ming Dynasty and there is no harm, and there is no threat.
The Japanese who initially threatened the southeast coast are now busy playing the game of closing off the country and don't have to think about it.
The mite Qing who can threaten the Denglai area even ran to the Nuergandusi, where there is no sea, so there is no need to think about it.
The small Liuqiu and North Korea on the sea are now attached to the Ming Dynasty's own territory, and the entire coastal area is the bathing plate of the Ming Dynasty.
At present, the only one who can threaten the coast is the Honan-Franco barbarians on the Great Ryukyus.
But it's really hard to say how many days these barbarians can survive under the hands of the East China Sea Fleet, and one day there will be good news that the barbarians of the Honanfrang machine will be slaughtered.
There are many benefits and no threats, and it would be a bit too to ban the sea in this case.
Regarding the proposal of Fu Yuanchu, who was knowledgeable and interesting, to open the Fujian sea ban, Emperor Chongzhen was naturally very moved.
The Donglin Party, which has always opposed the opening of the sea, has cooled down, and the Fushe, which likes to engage in armed resistance to taxes and opposes the opening of the sea, has also cooled, and now the few customs offices in Fujian are not enough.
Why don't you be more open?
Then Emperor Chongzhen threw this question on the court - the court in Nanjing.
Because Emperor Chongzhen had bragged before that he would wait for the good news of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet in Nanzhili, Emperor Chongzhen did not return to Beijing at all, but stayed in Nanjing.
Now let's see what the bigwigs of the Nanjing cabinet and the eight ministries think.
Nanjing's bigwigs obviously had a headache with Fu Yuanchu's proposal in the Beijing Engineering Department - the reasons used to oppose the opening of the sea have been resolved, and there is no reason to oppose the opening of the sea anymore.
However, these reasons were presented to the emperor, not the real ones - everyone knew what the real reasons for opposing the opening of the sea were.
The surname Fu naturally doesn't matter, this guy who is far away in the capital has nothing to do with the south, and the benefits of the sea are naturally not much, and the opening of the sea and the ban on the sea will not have the slightest impact on him, but will leave a good impression on His Majesty.
But what about behind the big guys? Which one doesn't have a business at sea? Which is not the case behind the intertwined?
It's really open to the sea, and the big guys can still eat like they do now, and they don't even have to do such things as corruption?
That's right, it's so funny, there are basically few bigwigs in Nanjing who can be greedy for silver now, anyway, there is no shortage of silver, there is no need to make yourself a scarecrow.
Those who are greedy are the petty officials below who have no way, and they are also the ones who die.
But here's the problem.
The bigwigs naturally don't have to be greedy if they have a way, but most of them don't want to open the sea, but want to continue to maintain the sea ban, and it is better to have a stricter sea ban.
There is no way for the officials below, but there are some broken jars and broken meanings.
Anyway, it can't be good, even if it is caught, it is the melons and dates that flow out of the fingers of the bigwigs above, and they can't eat enough at all, so it doesn't matter if the sea ban is opened or not.
Therefore, the first to jump out to respond to the opening of the sea were the officials of Nanjing's various departments and some smaller officials, and most of the bigwigs of the cabinet and various ministries were silent, as if they were mud bodhisattvas.
After a large number of low-grade officials jumped out to respond, someone finally jumped out to express their opposition.
Imperial History.
The imperial historian Shang Zhou was a historian, and since the Qin Dynasty was in charge of supervision, the imperial historians began to be active in the political arena of the Central Plains - the grade is not high, but anyone can be sprayed, and even the emperor is sprayed, and even the emperor is forced to admit his mistake.
The imperial historians of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty are naturally the same, and these guys who have the right to speak are also the only ones among low-level officials who can eat enough - of course, not by Yulu.
And Emperor Chongzhen, who was high on the dragon chair, squinted his eyes and watched the play after throwing Fu Yuanchu's recital out for the courtiers to discuss.
Fight, must fight, small and big not a heart this is the most perfect situation, if the whole city of Nanjing is united, I don't dare to take my wife and children to stay here.
The bigwigs of the Nanjing cabinet saw Emperor Chongzhen squinting on the dragon chair watching the monkey show, and they were naturally unhappy.
Now it's just the low-level officials who are arguing, and the bigwigs are going to play a decisive role, and the key is which side Emperor Chongzhen will favor.
But a facial paralysis with squinting eyes watching the play, who can guess what is going on in his heart?
Judging from Emperor Chongzhen's past style of acting, if he was in favor of opening the sea, then today he would not let everyone discuss the pros and cons of opening the sea at all, but directly made an arbitrary decision.
But if it is said that he is not in favor of opening the sea, who would dare to make this guarantee? What if it's for fishing?
It hasn't been a few years since the previous Caoyun Governor Zhang Jingtai happened.
When the officials below were almost arguing, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Zhang Guichang, the head of the household department in Nanjing: "What does Zhang Aiqing think?" ”
Zhang Guichang heard Emperor Chongzhen's name, so he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the sea will naturally be opened."
It's just that at the moment, the Francois are not destroyed, even if the Great Ryukyu is pacified, it is necessary to prevent the sailors of the Franco-Rang barbarians from coming to retaliate, and at the end of the war, the most damaged are the people at sea, and it is too early to discuss the opening of the sea at this time. ”
Just now, when the officials below were arguing, Zhang Guichang made up his mind, drag it first, how long can it be delayed, and then pass the current level first.
As for whether to open it in the future, doesn't it depend on the Francois barbarians? As long as the Francois machine is uneven for a day, the sea will not be so easy to open.
As soon as Zhang Guichang's words came out, he also provided ideas for other bigwigs.
There's nothing wrong with it, His Majesty the Emperor ordered someone to slaughter the Franco-machine barbarians in Macau, and he wants to slaughter the Honan-Franco-machine barbarians in Daryukyu, will people come to retaliate?
As long as they come, there will be a naval battle at that time, so won't those merchant ships and fishermen on the sea be unlucky?
Since your Emperor Chongzhen claims to love the people like a son, you can't watch the people suffer casualties because of the revenge of the Franco-barbarians, right?
Therefore, everyone agrees with the opening of the sea, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, at least when it is certain that the Franco-barbarians will not come to retaliate.
Otherwise, for the safety of the people, forget it.
Several other bigwigs and cabinet bigwigs naturally responded to Zhang Guichang's statement, anyway, they were in favor, but they had to slow down.
Then Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Xu Hongji, the leader of the Nanjing Military Government: "What does Xu Aiqing think?" ”
Xu Hongji didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to burn the fire on himself, opening the sea is obviously a matter in the court, what is the matter of the military?
And from the bottom of his heart, Xu Hongji is also against opening the sea - just these scum above the court, how much can they eat at sea, and how much can the Xu family eat with the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years?
But the heart is one thing, it's one thing to eat more at sea, and it's another thing whether the Xu family can exist.
Obviously, if you dare to disapprove of opening the sea, you will definitely be hated by Emperor Chongzhen - others don't know, don't you know? Emperor Chongzhen has tried several times because of the opening of the sea.
And who was hated by Emperor Chongzhen, which one ended well? Huang Liji or Huang Taiji?
Anyway, one was made into a scarecrow, and the other was angry and vomited blood and fell to his death.
After thinking about it, Xu Hongji simply abandoned his heart and said from his heart: "Your Majesty, the minister is in favor of opening the sea."
It's just that the ban on the sea in Fujian is not very strict, and then the matter of opening the sea in Fujian is of little significance, but it is better to choose to try it out in Guangdong. ”
After thinking about it, for the sake of safety, Xu Hongji continued: "Please strengthen the coastal defense of Fujian and Guangdong, in case the Francois barbarians come to make trouble." ”
