1105 The Pit of the Ages

These people in the group, who are all over the Ming Dynasty, are familiar with the things in the south, and through the chat group, they can all gather together to discuss matters, and the effect of this kind of meeting is far stronger than discussing with a group of courtiers in Beijing without a chat group!

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think that he would have to add more people, and one day in the future, if there is anything, he can find experts in relevant aspects at any time to discuss, so that the efficiency of the development of the Ming Dynasty will be centuries ahead of the world!

This meeting ended successfully, and the people related to the whole set of plans went to work.

Sometimes, though, things don't just go the way they want. For example, on King Fu's side, when he heard that the imperial court had changed its strategy and did not train him to take down Annan, but directly sent troops from various places, he raised a question, saying that these guards sent out would be the army of Fuguo in the future, and they belonged to him?

For this, the first assistant Wen Tiren, who was in charge of talking to King Fu, couldn't give an exact answer. Although he knew that it was unlikely that those guards would be given to King Fu, who knew what the emperor would think now? So, on this issue, he played Emperor Chongzhen and asked the emperor to decide. However, he naturally did not directly throw the question to Emperor Chongzhen, and there were also his opinions in the recital.

Wen Tiren believes that the armies of the guards in various places are already relatively elite armies that the Ming can take. After the experience of war, I believe that I can become an elite who can really fight. And the south of the Ming Dynasty needs these troops. If these armies were assigned to King Fu, Fuguo's military strength would be too strong, and he thought that this move would not be safe for the Ming Dynasty to control the south. The hidden meaning in this is that he is afraid that after King Fu has a strong army, he will not be at ease with himself, or he will not listen to the Ming Dynasty, or even do more outrageous things.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen understood it. In fact, there is no need for Wen Tiren to remind him, since the meaning of using the guards army is to train them to be elite soldiers who can really fight, he naturally will not give it to others.

Therefore, he specially decreed that he would personally discuss this matter with King Fu.

In the Wenhua Palace, King Fu's father and son and Wen Tiren stood on both sides, listening to Emperor Chongzhen on the throne saying: "There was a rebellion in Annan, and with the full support of the Francophiles, the Zheng clan in the north was overwhelmed, and the Zheng clan has asked me for help. However, I also learned that the Nguyen clan of Annam had also secretly colluded with the rebel Tusi of Yunnan to prepare an east-west attack on the Zheng clan in Thang Long Province and seize the whole of Annam in one fell swoop. If it succeeds, when the time comes, the recruits trained by Governor Zhu may need more time to defeat Annan. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen paused, looked directly at King Fu and said: "I promised that the Qing and others would pay for the training of the Qing and the imperial court to take Annam." Although the situation has changed, I will not break my promise, so I decided to call in the troops of the local guards to defeat Annan first, and then it is not too late for Qing to slowly train the soldiers of Fuguo. ”

When King Fu heard this, he opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could say anything, he heard Emperor Chongzhen take the lead and remind: "In addition, I also consider one point, if the war in Annan is protracted, the blessed country of the future emperor will have to be rebuilt from the original place, and the money and energy spent will have to be paid more." Speaking of which, Qing is my uncle, so I naturally have to think more about Qing! ”

Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu, nodded again and again when he heard it, he had been to the Tang Kingdom, and what he saw was that the Tang King was busy with the aftermath of various places, all the way from south to north, and there was reconstruction after the military disaster everywhere. In the future, Fuguo will also be his own, and he naturally does not want Fuguo to repeat the same situation in the future.

After hearing this, King Fu pondered for a while, and then said gratefully: "The minister is grateful for His Majesty's kindness. The minister had two concerns, which he had previously discussed with Shousuke. ”

"First, the number of troops dispatched by the imperial court this time, involving a wide range of provinces, seems to be unprecedented. It's not that the minister is crying poor, but he really can't take out so much money for the military expenses of the guard's army. The minister's money will also be used for the training of Fu soldiers in the future, as well as for the post-war reconstruction of Fu Guo, which needs money everywhere. ”

"Second, the minister heard that the Nanyang side has been mostly occupied by Xiyi. And Xiyi's insidious and cunning, brutal and ferocious, was also quite famous at that time. The minister is worried that the soldiers of Fuguo have not been trained, Xiyi has already fought over, and the imperial army cannot be in Fuguo for a long time. ”

Hearing what his father said, Zhu Yousong couldn't help but nodded, these are indeed a problem.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, and after glancing at Wen Tiren, he turned his head to look at King Fu, and said with a smile: "First point, I believe that Wen Qing has already said that part of the military expenses can be shared by the imperial court, and the specific sharing ratio will be discussed by Qing and Shoufu." Here, I want to make it clear that the reason why I sent so many troops is for the sake of Qing's face, and other vassal kings, I will not be so vigorous, the reason I have just said. ”

Among all the vassal kings, King Fu is the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen, and in his generation, he and Emperor Tianqi are two brothers, originally Emperor Chongzhen himself was a vassal king, his brother hanged, he ascended the throne from the vassal king to the emperor, and there were no other vassal kings in his generation. Therefore, among all the vassal kings, the one with the closest blood relationship is King Fu. It is for this reason that Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly said that he would take care of King Fu.

When King Fu heard this, although he didn't know what he thought in his heart, at least on the surface, he still thanked Emperor Chongzhen for his kindness. At the same time, he glanced at Wen Tiren opposite, helpless in his heart, if it was possible, he didn't want to talk to the treacherous Wen Tiren about the sharing of expenses.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what he was thinking, and continued to reply to his second point: "The second problem, in fact, is not difficult to solve, just follow the example of the Tang State, in the southernmost part of the Fuguo, the place that is most likely to be invaded by the Nanyang Xiyi, set aside a part, and the imperial court will manage it, and I will send an elite army to be stationed there." If Xiyi had any thoughts about Fuguo, he wouldn't be able to bypass the army I sent in the past. How is it? ”

"That's great!" When Zhu Yousong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "King Tang once said to his ministers that he doesn't have to worry about foreign affairs, just pay attention to the livelihood of Tang Guomin, or he will really have no time to take care of it!" ”

When King Fu saw it, he couldn't help but glance at his own son. Thinking about it in my heart, what my son said is not unreasonable.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said: "In this way, the imperial army is stationed in the place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the military expenses or something will naturally not be shared by the country, and all will be solved by the imperial court itself, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, King Fu couldn't help but be very happy, it seems that the emperor is really good to himself, sometimes, in the final analysis, the blood relationship of the family is indeed good. Of course, that's what he thinks, and what his children and grandchildren will think about it, then he doesn't know.

With gratitude, King Fu agreed to the court's latest plan.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that this matter had been resolved harmoniously, so he kindly reminded: "If Qing's money is not enough, you can go to the Daming Construction Bank to borrow." On Annan's side, there are a lot of good things, as long as Qing mortgages a little casually, you can borrow money. No one else can say that I am partial in this matter, after all, they are all acting according to the rules set by the bank. ”

In fact, Tang Guo is already doing this. Tang Wang used the output of grain and mines to mortgage the Yunnan branch of Daming Construction Bank, and had already borrowed 100,000 taels of silver. Of course, the silver is inconvenient to transport, and in the end, it is all Daming banknotes, which is very convenient. And it has been proven that this banknote will not depreciate, that is very reassuringly.

Unconsciously, Emperor Chongzhen has used things that people in this era are unaware of, and is secretly digging holes for these overseas feudal vassal states. Not only is there an army stationed, but also let the vassal states use the Ming banknotes, whether it is economic or military, they will rely on the mother country of the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, to put it nicely, it is that Daming's mother takes care of the children of the separated family, and to put it mildly, it is that none of the children of the separated family are pioneers, and they cannot do without the care of Daming's mother.

The day after he finished this matter, Emperor Chongzhen received an unexpected and reasonable private chat. Jinyiwei in Yunnan reported that after Wan Cailian, the wife of Tusi in Amizhou, led the troops to Tulong Mountain, this woman didn't know what tricks she used to appease Pu Mingming, so she had to come forward in person, colluding with Sha Dinghai, the eldest son of Tusi Shayuan, and instigating Sha Dinghai to kill his father, making himself the Tusi of Tulong Mountain, and then joining forces with Amizhou to rebel, thus opening up their passage to Annam.

In this regard, after thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen did not feel strange. Since the Annan Ruan clan has the intention of being flanked by that thing, it will naturally consider whether Ah Mi Zhou can send troops through the territory of Tu Lang Shan Tusi, and it is not good, Sha Dinghai's actions are behind the Annan Ruan clan.

On the other hand, the toast of the Ming Dynasty is actually very chaotic internally, for the sake of power, each other, fighting for power and profit, and even the struggle between you and me, are too common. After all, if you say it to Dali, the position of this Tusi is actually equivalent to the position of the Emperor of the Soil, who doesn't want to be it, who is not blushing.

In the past, the reason why there was a change of land and return to the stream was because the local Tusi killed each other for the position of Tusi, and finally made trouble so that they didn't even have an heir, but cheapened the imperial court, and directly announced that they would change to the liuguan system, and the imperial court sent liuguan to manage it, and completed the reform of the land and returned to the stream.

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, and let you toasts be arrogant, the system of the backward times will inevitably be eliminated, prevent the Ming Zhongxing, and drag down the garbage of the Ming Zhongxing! Sooner or later it will be cleared. Those ill-intentioned toasts, and seeing you jump out one by one, I have laid a net waiting for you!

While he was thinking, the White Pole Army, which was far away in the Tang Kingdom, had already received the will of Emperor Chongzhen through Zhang Fengyi at the first time, and the whole army went north to prepare to quell the rebellion in Yunnan.

Along the way, Qin Liangyu, the leader of the army, frowned a little, and after waiting for two days, she finally called her son Ma Xianglin to her side and asked, "My son, why are you depressed these days, but what are you thinking?" ”

Ma Xianglin listened, and hurriedly smiled and said: "How can the child have, this has calmed Dongwu, not only do we have no loss, but also made another great achievement, the child is happy!" ”

When Qin Liangyu heard this, he just smiled slightly, let the war horse walk slowly, looked at Ma Xianglin and said, "You are my son, and you were raised by your mother." What are you thinking in your heart, I'm a mother, can I still know? ”

Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand and gestured, and the guards around her consciously dispersed, keeping their distance, leaving room for the two of them to talk. Even Zhang Fengyi, the daughter-in-law, didn't keep it, which also kept her away.

In the White Pole Army, Qin Liangyu has the highest prestige, and everyone else obeys her unconditionally. Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to have any opinions, so she avoided the side and followed the army north. But in her heart, she was still a little curious, she didn't know what the two of them were going to talk about, and she even sent herself away.

Seeing this posture, Ma Xianglin knew that he was afraid that he couldn't hide his mother's thoughts.

Sure enough, after Qin Liangyu waited for only her and her mother to be around, she heard her say to Ma Xianglin: "Since you came to Yunnan, you have a mind." Now that you have been ordered to return to Yunnan to quell the rebellion, your emotions are even more obvious. Mother asked you, but because of the change of land? ”

Ma Xianglin is the titular Shizhu Tusi, and now the one in power is naturally his mother Qin Liangyu. But this toast is still his in the end. It is rumored that the imperial court will increase its efforts to reform the land and return it to the stream. Because of this, there are so many Tusi rebellions in Yunnan. In the previous battle of Dongwu, several rebellious toasts had been suppressed, and now there have been several toast rebellions, and this continuous momentum is all because of the change of land and return to the stream.

Ma Xianglin was told by Qin Liangyu to think about it, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer his mother.

Qin Liangyu didn't force him, turned his head and looked at the marching column of the White Pole Army, as if he was paying attention to the spirit of the team's long-distance march.

After waiting for a while, Ma Xianglin turned his head to look at Qin Liangyu and replied in a low voice: "Mother, you said that we fought for the imperial court in the south and in the north, and we have all the credit and hard work. Will the imperial court ...... Will one day, we will also attack and implement the reform of the land and return to the stream? ”

Hearing his son speak, Qin Liangyu turned his head to look at him, smiled and asked, "My son, are you worried about this?" Mother asks you, how about changing the land and returning to the stream, and what if you don't change the land and return to the stream? ”

"Wouldn't it be if it were to be replaced...... Isn't it ......" Ma Xianglin said several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. Because he knew his mother, there were some things that he couldn't say.

But this time, Qin Liangyu was good-tempered, although he didn't say it, Qin Liangyu understood what he was going to say, and he was not angry, he still looked at Ma Xianglin with a smile and asked, "My son, according to you, how is it today?" ”
