93. Best Partner
Zhu Youxiao saw that everyone was hesitant and uneasy about the granting of the seat, and secretly felt funny in his heart, and said slowly:
"When I was young, I was appointed as the eldest grandson of the emperor by Shenzong, but for various reasons, I have not been able to go out of the pavilion to study, so that the teachings of the saints are little understood, and I don't know anything about Tang poetry and Song poetry. However, I have a deep memory of several poems of the Ming Dynasty, the first of which is "Lime Yin" written by Yu Taibao during the reign of Yingzong, in which "I am not afraid of broken bones, and I want to leave my innocence in the world", which can be called a true portrayal of Yu Taibao's life.
The second poem is written by Qi Shaobao during the reign of Sejong, all of you know that he was seventeen years old hereditary Dengzhou Wei commander of the affairs, when he was young in Zhejiang, Fujian and the region to quell the Japanese invaders, and later went to the north to fight against the Tartars, all his life in the south and the north, will be full of blood sprinkled on the land of China. 'The north and south drove to report the main situation, and the river lace moon smiled for life. Three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them are Hengge horses', this poem is simple and natural, catchy, Qi Shaobao is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the noble character of loving the people makes me admire.
As for the third song, it is a song by Lord Shen about the Seven Laws, I don't know which Aiqing can tell me? ”
Shen Yourong listened to the little emperor compare himself with Yu Qian and Qi Jiguang, and knew that this matter was not trivial, so he hurriedly knelt down and said:
"The saint is wrong to love, and the old minister is on the same level as the two young guards, which makes the old minister honestly afraid. The creation of this poem is not a matter of time, it is inevitable that some scholars are angry, and when they fought in Liaodong, they were determined to emulate the dragon city flying generals to expel the Tartars, but now it is too ridiculous and shallow to think about it, so that the saint and the adults laugh. ”
Zhu Youxiao saw that this old man was too cautious, and felt sorry for him that he was still dancing with a gun and stick, so he stepped down and helped him to the stool with one hand, and continued:
"Shen Aiqing doesn't have to be humble, I think the last sentence 'After the sword is from the flying general, the strong heart wants to sweep away the demons' is very wonderful. Now that the Tartars and the Japanese have been purged, I want to sacrifice to the Taimiao and comfort the ancestors; Second, we must posthumously honor those martyrs who resisted foreign invasions and reward those who have made meritorious contributions. ”
Yu Qian and Qi Jiguang are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty who turned the tide, and the government and the opposition have praised them. Now that he has compared Shen Yourong and the two of them together, the scheming Ye Xianggao has already figured out the holy will, guessing that this is the rhythm of rewarding Shen Yourong, so he couldn't wait to walk to the Danqi and kneel down and said:
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen was the fourth place in the Tianfu military test in the seventh year of Wanli, and then went north to join the army, and successively served in Jiliao, Fujian and Zhejiang, Denglai and other frontier or coastal defense outposts, defeated the Mongolian tribes, drove out the Japanese in Taiwan and the Dutch in Penghu, and made great contributions to the stability of my Ming Dynasty. In this eastward expedition to the Japanese country, Lord Shen led the fleet to fight against the Japanese at the age of 70 at the age of 70, and made great contributions. ”
These words came from the mouth of the Ministry of Rites, but Zhu Youxiao cleared the suspicion of favoritism, Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly to Gao, signaled him to step aside, and then said:
"Ye Shangshu's errand is very good, it is rare to know Shen Aiqing's resume so well, it can be seen that you respect each other in private, which makes me feel a lot relieved. However, you may not know that the first thing Lord Shen did after returning to China was to submit his resignation to the cabinet, which made me lose an arm, and I was reluctant to do so.
I was still hesitating, but this morning I saw Lord Shen faltering and becoming ill from hard work, and finally made up my mind to endure the pain and let him return to his hometown. Passed the decree, sealed Shen Yourong as the Marquis of Wu'an, Jin Guanglu Doctor, the right pillar country, added Shaobao, and rewarded 2,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver, and gave the Son of Heaven honor guard to return to his hometown. ”
Throughout the ages, there are many capable ministers who are in power to the government and the opposition, and there is only one person like Cao Cao who can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but he can only enjoy the ceremony of Jiuxi, and dare not encroach on the honor guard of the Son of Heaven. Shen Yourong has served the country and the people all his life, and the grand exhibition can be regarded as a famous name in history.
Now that Zhu Youxiao has allowed Shen Yourong to return to his hometown, the only candidates for the Dongying Propaganda Division are Xiong Wencan and Hou Dongzeng. After the early dynasty dispersed, Zhu Youxiao took the two to the upper study, wanting to hear their plans for Japan alone.
Xiong Wencan fought a lifetime with the Japanese Kou, his heart was hard, and he said bluntly:
"Your Majesty, the Japanese are not the people of our dynasty, and it is difficult to use the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty to educate them, so the minister thinks that although the battle is over, the local law and order still need to be maintained by the army. As long as we firmly control Kyushu Island and Iwami Ginzan, the food and salary of the 200,000-strong army can rest easy, which will not only reduce the financial pressure on the imperial court, but also weaken Japan to the greatest extent. In less than 20 years, the third phase of the strategic goals set by the Holy Father will be accomplished. ”
Zhu Youxiao knew that Xiong Wencan was out of the army, so his temper was naturally hot, so he nodded at him noncommittally, and then set his eyes on Hou Dongzeng. Hou Tong had been inquiring about the Japanese in Zhejiang for several years, and regarded Hu Zongxian as a model. This time, he was also the minister who signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", and he had a more detailed understanding of the inside information than Xiong Wencan, and he saw that Xiong Wencan relied too heavily on force, so he immediately put forward the opposite opinion.
General Xiong is reasonable, and this is also in line with the strategic policy of the Holy Lord to nourish the war with war, but the lower officials think that the cannonball is the most powerful when it is still in the chamber, and the abuse of force will be counterproductive.
If we want long-term peace and stability, we must rely on the local pro-Chinese people to govern the Japanese people. In addition, it is necessary to carry out continuous population migration, on the one hand, to move the people from the mainland, Korea, Taiwan, Luzon, and Champa to Kyushu, and on the other hand, to move the Japanese people to Telin, Yakusk, Ziqing, Hami, and even Urumqi and Korla in southern Xinjiang. ”
Regarding Hou Yuzeng's suggestion, Zhu Youxiao's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that this person could be called a hero in troubled times and a capable minister who governed the world. In fact, from the day Operation Sunset was decided, the Cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department, and the Superintendent of Ceremonies were discussing how to rebuild after the war. Two-way migration was an established strategy of physical extermination, and at the same time acquiesced to the British, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish slave traders.
In addition, it is necessary to force the Japanese to intermarry with the foreign population in the Dongying Propaganda Division, implement Sinicization education, and unify the language, writing and clothing, which is a spiritual annihilation.
Finally, it was strictly forbidden to spread the agricultural technology and crops of the Central Plains in Japan, and to use grain to control their population growth, so as to eliminate Japan as soon as possible through this method of hollowing out both inside and outside.
Hou Tong's proposal to move the Japanese to Mobei, Beihai, and southern Xinjiang was secretly in line with Zhu Youxiao's intentions, and the Americans were to let the Indians move westward, and then chase and kill them in various ways on the way, and finally became the sole master of the North American continent. At this time, the population of Japan was still about 20 million, and it was not realistic to wield a butcher's knife directly, and the best way was to move them out step by step and then slowly grind them to death.
After listening to Xiong Wencan and Hou Tongzeng's suggestions, Zhu Youxiao felt that the two of them could be the best partners, so he named Xiong Wencan as the general of the hussars, and appointed the chief soldier of the Dongying Propaganda Division, commanding the local garrison and maintaining law and order on the island. Hou Tong once served as a consolation envoy, focusing on government affairs and economic and trade. Li Guozhu, Yang Tiansheng and others are the prefects and county commanders of various prefectures and counties, and are responsible for local affairs. In addition, in order to prevent them from supporting their own troops, Iwami Yinshan was controlled by an army of 70,000 led by Yuan Keli and Qi Baoguo, and the specific accounts were handed over to Wang Chengen, who was assigned by the celebrant and was directly responsible to the emperor. The safety of shipping at sea was determined by Jiang Dejing, Gan Hui, and Zheng Zhilong's Huayuan Trading Company, which only retained merchant ships, and all warships were moved to Luzon and Sumatra.
It should be noted that Wang Chengen is the great eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself in the coal mountain, and being able to do this shows that he has a noble temperament, and after the capture of Beijing, there are thousands of eunuchs killed in the battle, which is far more admirable than those who only care about surrendering on their knees and lingering for a long time. At this time, Wang Chengen was only fourteen years old, and he was originally a servant under Cao Huachun, Zhu Youxiao knew this person's temperament well, and he was familiar with it at first sight, and soon became a pen eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and let him be in charge of Ishimi Yinshan, which also shows Zhu Youxiao's trust.
