Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fattening and Killing Again
Emperor Longwu was dumbfounded, his face turned red for a moment, and then turned white again.
When Wang Kefan directly stretched out his hand to ask for an official, he felt that something was wrong, and after seeing this Jihua book again, he was even more vigilant in his heart...... The content mentioned in this Jihua book is not a matter that a military general cares about, and all kinds of political methods are even more spicy and meticulous, which makes Emperor Longwu frightened.
Wang Kefan is ambitious, but he is the second Zheng Zhilong!
But Emperor Longwu also understood that this was a rare opportunity!
This Jihua book is full of temptation, and Wang Kefan's ability is far beyond his imagination, if he can control this person, the monarch and the ministers join hands, there is hope to get out of the predicament, there is the possibility of confronting the Manchus.
That's why he scolded Wang Kefan, moved out of the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and forced Wang Kefan to express his position!
Emperor Longwu's requirements are actually very low, as long as Wang Kefan says a soft word, such as "the minister is loyal and will never dare to be a powerful minister, etc.", even if there is an explanation.
The times are pressing, I can cooperate with you, but first of all, I have to be clear, I am the boss of the Ming Dynasty, and you must be honest as a younger brother...... Unexpectedly, Wang Kefan actually said, "Let's defeat the Manchus first." ”
What does that mean?
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
Wang Kefan stood silently, observing Emperor Longwu's expression.
When he took out this jihua book, he expected Emperor Longwu to have this reaction.
But this jihua book must be taken out.
Farming requires a process, according to this jihua book to operate two Guangzhou, it is difficult to see results in a year and a half, and it can be a day earlier.
Without the support of the rear, the Gongyi battalion could only maintain the scale of about 10,000 people, and it had to fight guerrilla warfare in the face of Jin Shenghuan's puppet army. After Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan was finished, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty marched south, what to use against the Qing army?
Wang Kefan wants to strongly intervene in the two Guangzhou!
Wang Kefan wants to pinch the whole Nanming!
In this process, it must be full of fierce political struggles, don't try to pretend to be loyal and filial.
It's better to say it well than to do it well, Emperor Longwu is not a great talent, but he is not a political idiot either, can he be coaxed by kneeling down and kowtowing a few times to show loyalty?
Can't coax him for a few days.
If you want to pretend to be a loyal minister and a filial son, you have to honestly be a horse boy for Emperor Longwu. You have to watch Ding Kuichu do nothing in Guangdong, you have to watch Qu Shiyun live in Guangxi, and you have to watch He Tengjiao continue to pit his teammates...... With Emperor Longwu's political talent, even Zheng Zhilong, who was a pirate, couldn't handle it, let alone deal with the representatives of these civilian cliques. A feudal official with a heavy army.
Nanming has reached the point of life and death, and there is no time to play those intriguing games. Let's be honest with each other.
The whole Nanming is a plate of loose sand. The feudal officials have all been warlordized, without the support of the army, Emperor Longwu is nothing, he has no second choice but to cooperate with himself......
Emperor Longwu's face changed, and it was obvious that a fierce ideological struggle was going on.
"Wang Kefan. If you defeat the Manchus, will you dare to disadvantage me? Do you want to be Yi Yin or Huo Guang, do you still want to be Wang Mang?! ”
Yi Yin, Huo Guang and Wang Mang are all famous ministers in history. Yi Yin imprisoned the king of Shang for three years, Huo Guang abolished the emperor, and Wang Mang directly usurped the throne, each more powerful than the other.
Wang Kefan sighed softly.
It's almost time for the heat.
Give him a staircase down.
"How dare Weichen be unfavorable to Bixia!"
Wang Kefan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "How the minister and Bixia get along, it's all in Bixia's thoughts, Bixia asks questions with this, and Weichen doesn't know how to answer...... If you ask your heart, the minister only wants to be Fan Li, not Han Xin, Bixia Shengming chases Taizu, is a rare benevolent monarch through the ages, when you can allow Weichen to buy a boat and go to sea, and live in the world......"
You are mistaken.
You are the emperor, you are the boss, I don't count how the monarch and the minister get along, it depends on your attitude, you put on a hat for me first, I don't know how to answer.
When the Manchu Qing is defeated, I am willing to retire like Fan Li, and I will not be like Han Xin, Zuihou was killed by Liu Bang, but you don't want to be like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, you must kill all the heroes under you, I just ask you to let me live.
"......" Emperor Longwu was speechless.
The turn was so abrupt that he was a little dizzy.
Wang Kefan's explanation was able to justify itself, as if he had wronged him.
Did I say the wrong thing?
Could it be that I'm thinking too much?
Don't pretend, whether your zuihou words are true or not, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Emperor Longwu realized that there was a layer of cold sweat behind his back, and for a moment, he even thought that Wang Kefan would suddenly turn his face, but he still gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure, and used the emperor's authority to suppress Wang Kefan.
In any case, this confrontation with Wang Kefan is a victory for him, at least on the surface.
"Still underestimate him!" Emperor Longwu regretted a little, he always wanted to suppress Wang Kefan with a word, but he didn't expect Wang Kefan to play word games with him.
"Wang Qing, get up." Emperor Longwu changed the title back.
"The minister is guilty, the minister is frightened, and he doesn't dare to get up!"
"Okay, forgive you for your innocence, it's me who lost my words first......"
Finally returned to the normal routine, Emperor Longwu felt a lot more relaxed, but Wang Kefan kowtowed again, still couldn't get up, Emperor Longwu was stunned for a long time, and finally understood that Wang Kefan had softened and was waiting for him to express his position.
"Wang Qing, Cao Jiang has a great responsibility, you must be diligent!" As soon as Emperor Longwu spat out his words, his heart was relaxed.
After the changes in Fujian, Emperor Longwu understood a truth, when the emperor can't do what he wants, especially if he wants to be a lord of Zhongxing, he must be good at using various political liliang. Failing to deal with Zheng Zhilong's problem caused the de facto collapse of the Longwu Imperial Court, causing him to flee alone and almost lose his life, and the same mistake could not be made a second time.
The art of controlling the lower is a compulsory course for an emperor, Wang Kefan is ambitious, but he is also capable, and if he uses it well, he is a sharp knife, which can not only deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also deal with He Tengjiao and others.
He has seen the combat effectiveness of the Gongyi battalion with his own eyes, and it is outstanding in the army of the Southern Ming Dynasty, after Wang Kefan takes up the post of Caojiang, the strength of the Gongyi battalion will increase, with the support of such an army, Emperor Longwu's words will have weight, and he will have the confidence to fight against the Manchus.
Things in the future, let's take a look at it, a powerful minister like Zhang Juzheng, zuihou has not turned the sky upside down, Emperor Longwu intends to subdue Wang Kefan step by step and control this rare talent.
"Thank you Bixia!"
The stone in Wang Kefan's heart also fell to the ground, which was already the most haode result, much stronger than coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
The monarchs and ministers glanced at each other and smiled in unison.
A fugitive emperor, a minor warlord, forms an alliance.
Emperor Longwu picked up the Jihua book and continued to look down.
The third is to mint new money, and the fourth is to rectify the salt policy.
"It's not funny!" Emperor Longwu shook his head, not very optimistic.
When he was in Fujian, he cast a batch of Longwu Tongbao, but the circulation was not large, and he also rectified the salt administration, and the effect was not satisfactory.
The fourth is to reduce rents and interest rates, and the fifth is to strengthen maritime transportation.
This is a little incomprehensible, Emperor Longwu asked Wang Kefan.
Reducing rents and interest rates is a gentle land reform, or a compromise land reform, which can reduce the peasants' burdens while safeguarding the basic interests of the landlord class, which can stimulate grain production and ease social contradictions.
To strengthen maritime transport is to vigorously develop maritime trade between the two provinces, and to take away this part of the profits from the pirates, the Dutch, and the Spaniards.
The sixth is to train troops in Tuntian, and the seventh is to clean up the feudal towns.
The training of troops in Tuntian is easy to understand, and the scope of cleaning up the feudal towns will be wide.
This feudal town is a general term in a broad sense, the first step refers to the various feudal officials, the second step refers to other anti-Qing regimes, and the way to deal with it is also more complicated, Jihua book only has a brief introduction, no detailed analysis.
"Wang Qing, what's going on, why isn't it there?" Emperor Longwu was more concerned about this.
"This kind of thing is too variable, and it's useless to make jihua books." Wang Kefan's answer is also reasonable.
Emperor Longwu nodded, and then looked down.
Article 8 Culture and Education, Article 9 Religious Management, Article 10 and Article 11 ...... are all-encompassing.
After Emperor Longwu finished reading it, he put the jihua book together and put it down, with a disappointed look on his face.
"Using this method to operate the two Guangzhou, it will achieve initial results within a year, and it is indeed an old strategy to seek the country, but there is one thing Wang Qing didn't expect, after all, he still paints cakes to satisfy hunger."
"Bixia, please speak." Wang Kefan's eyebrows furrowed.
"There is no silver in the imperial court...... Emperor Longwu sighed.
When he ascended the throne in Fujian, he was ambitious to start a career, and he also opened the imperial examination, minted new money, and rectified the salt administration, but Zuihou was all anticlimactic, and the key was that the imperial court had no money.
All these things are a huge system project, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, zuihou are all attributed to a money word, and the jihua given by Wang Kefan is even larger, and it is impossible to succeed without a start-up capital of millions of taels of silver.
A million taels of silver? Emperor Longwu can't even take out a hundred taels of silver now.
"Bixia, there is actually silver." Wang Kefan had already considered it.
"How?" Emperor Longwu was stunned, one million taels of silver was not a small amount, it was almost equal to the tax income of Liangguang for a year, and these money were intercepted by Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun, and the imperial court had no money at all.
"Weichen's hometown is in the countryside of Huguang, and the people's homes will raise chickens, and they will kill ...... if they are fattened" In the face of Emperor Zhu, he couldn't mention the matter of killing pigs, so he had to pull the chickens out.
"What do you mean?"
Emperor Longwu realized, but still didn't quite understand, but Wang Kefan knelt down again and suddenly raised his voice.
"Weichen Wang Kefan, impeachment of Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, corrupted and perverted the law, formed a party to consolidate himself, and should be severely punished and punished!" (To be continued......)
