Chapter 693: This Time It's Not Me
Hu Zongxian, the word Ruzhen, the number Merlin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNanzhili is a native of Jixi, Huizhou Prefecture, and his family has been born in Jinyiwei for generations, and he is a very powerful character. At this time, Hu Zongxian seemed to be more than ten years earlier than Hu Zongxian in real history, probably because of Qin Li's reason of crossing the public, the development of county schools in Jiangdu, so that the people's wisdom has been enlightened, and the minds of the people of Daming seem to have improved a lot compared with real history.
Hu Zongxian achieved the position of governor of Zhejiang as early as the Zhengde period, he was very clear as an official, very virtuous in Fujian and Zhejiang, and was recognized by many people.
Zhejiang is the richest area of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Zongxian governed the people here is very peaceful, although there are a few Japanese Kou often land in the capital to Sao Po people, but Hu Zongxian's army has about 3,000 people, they can defeat those scattered Japanese Kou very well, so that the people will not be greatly disturbed by the Japanese Kou. On the whole, the people are living a comfortable life.
But the year before last, a large number of Japanese invaders began to land on the land of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if they tasted the sweetness from the people of the Ming Dynasty, or if they couldn't get along in the small island country of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, not to mention the small place in the Japanese country, there are constant wars and turmoil, and most of the Japanese people are poor, and almost eating has become a big problem.
Qi Jiguang first went to the southeast coast, and he became a Zhenwei general under Hu Zongxian, and he was a five-grade official. Playing in front of Hu Zongxuan, he was very favored and liked by Hu Zongxian. There was also Lu Bo, who went later, and he brought with him about six or seven hundred black-clothed swordsmen, and these swordsmen were also very effective in killing the Japanese invaders. Lu Bo also became a six-grade lieutenant under Hu Zongxian. With the help of the two of them, Hu Zongxian did save a lot of worry.
But later, the Japanese invaded on a large scale, and Qi Jiguang and Lu Boring alone were obviously not enough. The Japanese are very cunning, they will never touch Qi Jiguang's Qi family army and Lu Bo's black-clothed swordsmen, they try their best to avoid these two people in Fujian and Zhejiang, robbing the people, now the people almost dare not be alone at home, every night is gathered in groups on the streets. even hid in Hangzhou and Suzhou. The poor fishermen have come out of the coastal areas, and it is easy to see the rich landlords and the like.
Seeing that the land under his rule is barren, and the people under his rule have left their homes, and their lives are getting harder and harder day by day, and even if they are alive today, they may be killed by the Japanese invaders tomorrow, that kind of fearful days, Hu Zongxian is anxious.
Hu Zongxian also knew that Emperor Jiajing was a very young emperor, and he had not long ascended the throne, as a capable minister of the imperial court, as a member of the guard of one side, Hu Zongxian easily did not want to cause trouble to the imperial court and the emperor. You know, if you report anything to the court, it also seems that he, the governor, is too incompetent, right?
But in the current situation, Hu Zongxian is powerless. In this way, Hu Zongxian delivered an urgent report to the imperial court.
Almost a month ago, Qin Li also told Emperor Jiajing about the fierceness of the Japanese people, the inhumanity of the Japanese people, and the scourge of the Ming Dynasty. Although Jiajing has never met the Japanese people, there is such a thing as Qin Li, and he himself is very unwelcome to outsiders. Immediately, Jiajing was furious, furious.
Granny dripping! The little Wa country, those little people, dare to bully me Daming, okay! I will let you all be buried in my Ming land.
He thought so, and on the second day, Jiajing talked angrily about the Japanese on the southeast coast with a stiff face.
Many courtiers couldn't help but change color when they heard Jiajing's account. Earlier, I heard that they were just making a small fuss in Fujian and Zhejiang, and they couldn't become a climate at all. You must know that the Japanese people are thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, but they are separated by the vast sea. But now they are invading my Ming Dynasty on a large scale, harassing and killing my Ming people. How can the Ming Dynasty allow them to make mistakes?
The ministers just thought about it in their hearts, and as for how to exterminate the Japanese and who to send, they naturally couldn't think of an idea, and they didn't even think about it.
Jiajing has been the emperor for a few months, and he has already been very clear about these old ministers. In fact, what they like most is a quarrel, as for really making reasonable suggestions for the imperial court, hehe! These old ministers don't seem to have such an awareness for the time being.
Jiajing looked at everyone with a cold face, and the old ministers were chattering and muttering, and even more scolding, almost no longer looking like a civil official.
After looking at it for a while, Jiajing suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "Zhongqing, you have been talking for so long, have you ever thought of a good idea to exterminate the Japanese Invaders?" ”
"This ...... This ...... "Everyone was speechless for a while, and they were silent.
Jiajing couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then his face became gloomy again, and said, "I thought about it, or I personally went to the southeast to exterminate the group of widows who had lost their conscience, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could live a stable life."
Fujian and Zhejiang are the lifeblood of my Ming Dynasty, most of my Ming tax revenue comes from Fujian and Zhejiang, and now Fujian and Zhejiang are plagued by the Japanese Invaders, which must be exterminated, and it is urgent! ”
Jiajing was very calm and said very solemnly. Yes, he took a look at the people below, and he may be the only one who went in person, because Jiajing really couldn't find a more suitable person.
As soon as Jiajing's words came out, the ministers below immediately knelt down in a large area, and the old ministers led by Xia Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, said loudly, "The emperor can't, never allow!" The emperor is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, and the country is unshakable!
The southeast coast is just a group of Japanese people, and the Japanese people live on small islands overseas, and although they are more vicious and have harmed some people on the southeast coast, they will not have much impact on our entire Ming Dynasty. The emperor only needs to send a competent person to exterminate them, and the emperor can't go himself! ”
The old ministers, who usually have to argue over a trivial matter, have surprisingly unanimous opinions this time.
It's no wonder that they are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they still have the Ming Dynasty in their hearts. Although they often oppose Jiajing, after all, they still attach great importance to the safety of the emperor because of the idea of loyalty to the monarch. After all, if something really goes wrong with the emperor, then the world will be really chaotic.
Jiajing slapped the dragon book case heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, since you don't let me go in person, then you can tell me a suitable person?"
Mao Shangshu, aren't you usually very thoughtful and able to speak? What do you mean this time, tell me quickly. ”
Jiajing didn't have a good impression of Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he also knew that Mao Cheng was still loyal to him, so he didn't have the idea of replacing Mao Cheng for the time being. However, in many cases, Jiajing would still taunt Mao Cheng a few words, which made Mao Cheng feel embarrassed.
Mao Cheng is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and this matter of exterminating the Japanese is actually not within his jurisdiction. But the emperor smelled it, and he really couldn't help but say it. He stood up straight and said loudly, "The old minister thinks that although there are Japanese robbers in the southeast coastal Fujian and Zhejiang areas, it will not make the people miserable. Hu Zongxian, Governor Hu is a bit exaggerated! ”
Boom! What are these words? Could it be that Governor Hu would conceal the situation on the southeast coast? You must know that Governor Hu is a very decent person, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, he will tell lies? Not only did Jiajing not believe it, but even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not believe it. But Mao Cheng, the old guy, just said so.
Jiajing secretly said in his heart, damn it! This Mao Cheng is simply a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately! Not to mention biting Qin Li, now even Hu Zongxian, who is far away in Fujian and Zhejiang, has bitten it.
Jiajing's face was as usual, he looked at Mao Cheng and said, "Mao Qing's family, if you don't go, who can you send to exterminate the Japanese invaders?" As to whether or not the southeast coast has become a scourge, it seems that it is not for us to discuss today. ”
Da Ming is noble and lowly, and there are actually many military attaches in the court, but these people are not without a sense of speech. Because of so many things, the sharpness of the Ming generals has long been wiped out.
Not only that, but the skills of these generals seem to be much worse. There are very few people who can actually go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Mao Cheng looked left and right for a long time, smacked his lips, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration in his mind, "The old minister thinks that Guo Xunshi, the Marquis of Wuding, is favored by the emperor, and although the Marquis of Wuding is a little older, the old minister thinks that he is a famous queen after all." If the emperor had sent Marquis Wuding to the southeast, he would have cooperated with Governor Hu Zongxian and Governor Hu, and he would definitely win a great victory and drive out those hateful widows. ”
Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, usually does not need to go to the court, he used to be an idle marquis, but since the death of Emperor Zhengde, Marquis Wuding was in charge of the guards of the capital, and he came to the court every day.
Some time ago, Marquis Wuding and Mao Cheng had a quarrel in the restaurant and broke up, and Marquis Wuding was wary of Mao Cheng in his heart. He knew that although Mao Cheng was not too bad on the whole, he was narrow-minded after all. Marquis Wu had a premonition that he would retaliate.
But after waiting for Mao Cheng for so many days, he didn't see Mao Cheng do anything, although Guo Xun was surprised, he didn't care much about Mao Cheng. But I didn't expect this old guy to be waiting for him here.
Speaking of Guo Xun, he is also sixty years old, and a sixty-year-old person has to go to the southeast, you must know that Guo Xun has lived in the north since he was a child and is familiar with the climate and environment of the north. Going to the south must be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and it is very unsuitable. Didn't this Mao Cheng deliberately want Guo Xun's life? After Guo Xun wanted to let him go to the southeast coast to exterminate the Japanese invaders, it was better to go to the north and fight with the Mongols!
But since Mao Cheng said it, he couldn't back down. You must know that the Marquis of Wuding is in the capital, and he is also somewhat prestigious in the court. At this time, in front of so many people, if you don't agree, it's tantamount to slapping yourself in the face!
Guo Xun hesitated slightly, then went out of class and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Mao said just now is good, and now that the court is employing people, the old minister is naturally not to be left behind." The southeast coast of the Japanese invaders is in turmoil, the people are miserable, and the old minister really can't stand it, and the old minister is willing to go to the southeast to exterminate the Japanese bandits. The old minister asks the emperor to decree! ”
Mao Cheng heard Guo Xun say this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile. Secretly said, Guo Xun, Guo Xun, how can I say that the old man has to punish you, see how you end up this time.
Jiajing nodded lightly when he heard this, and said secretly, this Wuding Marquis is actually not bad, and he can really come forward when it comes to a critical time. No wonder they were hereditary princes. Some time ago, I saw that Qin Li's face rewarded his son as an official of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it seems that he was really rewarded in vain! Speaking of which, I can be regarded as good to his Guo family.
Jiajing thought in his heart, but no matter what he said, he couldn't let Guo Xun go, right? Is there really no one in Daming? Do you have to send an old man to exterminate the Japanese invaders? In that case, wouldn't it be a matter of despise the Japanese Kou!
Jiajing hadn't spoken yet, and Xia Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, said, "Your Majesty, although Marquis Guo is old and strong, after all, he has lived in the north for a long time, and if he wants to go to the south, he will not be able to adapt to the soil and water!" ”
"Huh! I think it's reasonable, Guo Hou, you step down! Let's talk about it again! Jiajing said with a smile.
The heart that Guo Xun was carrying finally fell. I secretly thought, it seems that the emperor is really good, and the emperor is actually thinking about me! Mao Cheng, if you want to harm me, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
When Xia Yan spoke just now, Mao Cheng's heart moved. What Mao Cheng didn't expect was that the emperor agreed to Xia Yan so quickly and stopped Guo Xun.
Before Mao Cheng came back to his senses, Emperor Jiajing asked again, "Mao Qing's family, you also heard it just now, Xia Shoufu and I both feel inappropriate!" Mao Qing's family, except for Guo Hou, didn't I have anyone who resisted the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty? ”
Boom! What is the emperor going to do? You just ask me, but you don't listen to me, what does that mean? The Manchu Dynasty was a lot of civil and military ministers, why do you always look at me, Your Majesty? Always ask me for words?
This was what Mao Cheng thought in his heart, and he naturally didn't dare to say it.
Mao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Yongke, the commander of the four armies outside the capital, can take on this important task!" ”
Jiajing immediately said, "I know that Zhang Yong is okay, but Zhang Yong is gone, what about the 50,000 people of the Fourth Outer Army?" What should you tell me about? Who can command the four outer armies, and who can protect the capital? ”
"This ...... This ......" Jiajing blocked Mao Cheng back in one breath, Mao Cheng was suddenly speechless, his old face was red, and he couldn't speak.
Looking at Mao Cheng's embarrassed appearance, Jiajing felt very comfortable. Mao Cheng, hum! I'm just going to embarrass you!
Who made you unable to speak my mind?
Jiajing glanced at everyone coldly, and did not speak.
The temple fell silent, a deathly silence.
It was Xia Yan who broke the silence, he came out of class and said, "The emperor doesn't have to be embarrassed, the old minister recommended a person to go to the southeast coast to exterminate the Japanese invaders, and the old minister thought that he would definitely succeed." ”
Gotta get it! Someone is finally going to say what is on my mind. It's still Xia Yan and Xia Shoufu! Hehe! Qin Li, this time it's not me who wants to send you to the southeast, it's the old ministers.
