Chapter 496: Multi-pronged
"Please speak up. Xie Qian was shocked when he heard this, and immediately got up to inquire.
Lao Xie suffered losses one after another at the hands of Xie Hong, and now he has lost the momentum of last year, and he is very depressed.
This time the gathering of Jiangnan scholars was not convened by him, but everyone came spontaneously under the confusion of everyone, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only preside over the overall situation. You must know that prestige is a thing that is difficult and takes a long time to establish, but it is fast when it goes, as long as it is not very good, it will collapse with a bang, and it is really impossible not to thank you for not working hard.
He said today that if he swept away everyone's intentions, there would soon be rumors in the forest that he was old and afraid of things, and that he would no longer be as brave as he was then, and at that time, it would be too late to regret it.
After all, it was reluctant to come out, and Xie Qian was really hesitant in his heart.
In the past two years, mainly Jiangnan scholars, scholars and doctors have also tried their best, in order to be a hoe and annihilation, but not the martial arts, the urgent and slow, and now they have all sunk into the sand and broken halberds, isn't his Xie Qian the best proof?
It was precisely because of the psychological shadow brought about by the night of thunder and fire that when Li Xi proposed to use force, Xie Qian categorically vetoed it.
On the surface, Xie Hong's strength at sea seems to be not worth mentioning, but who knows what his real trump card is? No matter how great the disparity in power is, can it be more exaggerated than 4,000 versus 100,000?
If you act rashly, maybe you will be killed again, and when Jiangnan Jinghua is destroyed, it will be too late to regret it, and the two generals surnamed Wu in Jizhen are clear examples.
But what if you don't use force? Resist Zhenbao Zhai and restrict transportation to Liaodong, these countermeasures have been thoroughly implemented, and they are invincible in the past.
When Emperor Yingzong's 500,000 army is powerful, right? But if you are cut off from your salary, and then add some rumors, it won't collapse all at once? With such an unforgettable lesson, even if the restoration is successful, the emperor is still not obedient?
However, the same method is used on the current pair of monarchs and ministers, but there is no reaction at all. Except for the threat of Cao Yun's severance that had worked and forced Xie Hong out of the capital, the other strategies had not been effective at all, how could Xie Qian, a strategist, not be worried?
Of course, there were also effects of restrictions and boycotts, at least the emperor's behavior was somewhat restrained, and the chaotic institutions in the capital also stopped expanding.
However, when Xie Hong highlighted the strange soldiers and ran to the Wa Kingdom, these tricks also failed completely.
With the plundered gold and silver, those institutions also had funds; And with enough sea ships, coupled with powerful warships, Xie Hong may have a monopoly on maritime trade with the Japanese state; Coupled with the demonstration effect of those wealth, maybe the day of the opening of the sea ban is not far away, what restrictions are there to talk about?
Up to now, the killing move of cutting off Cao Yun is also yesterday. Xie Hong's Liaodong New Deal is not at a high level of secrecy, even if he doesn't have Chen Shiliang's eyeliner, Xie Qian also received the news very early.
The tax policy in the New Deal is not enough, no matter how much tax Xie Hong collects, it is his own business. If you want to promote it all over the world, it is not the business of the Jiangnan scholars, it is against all the gentry in the world, even with the courage of Taizu Taizong, he will not dare to do such a thing against the sky.
However, the reclamation order is really worrying, just in the first year, millions of acres of land have been reclaimed, even if it is only extensive farming, the climate in Liaodong is not very good, but there will always be an extra 100,000 stone harvest a year!
If it was in the past, someone said to Xie Qian that the grain in Liaodong could supply the capital, but he categorically did not believe it, and eighty percent would drink the order and fork out the speaker.
But now he doesn't think like that, Liaodong has become a thorn in his heart, who would have thought that the wild place that no one cares about suddenly has such earth-shaking changes?
In a daze, Xie Qian couldn't even suppress the fear in his heart.
Demon, that Xie Hong is indeed a demon! Otherwise, how could it be possible to do so many unbelievable things? The old man had even forgotten the teachings of the saints, and without the help of ghosts and gods, how could that young man be so rebellious?
Therefore, when Xie Qian heard Wang Jianzhi's confident words, he was really taken aback, and the reason why this was so was related to Wang Jianzhi's comments.
Wang Jianzhi is a native of Shaoxing, a jinshi in the Chenghua period, although he has not entered the center, but his reputation is still very great. In the winter of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, he was instructed to Fu Yun, first led the army to quell He Huai's rebellion, and then supervised the construction of the palace of the school, built in Baokang County, and the local wind commented that he was: repair the waste pendant, with achievements, belong to the pragmatic school among the scholars, and the style is quite down-to-earth.
It was hard for Xie Qian to imagine that such a person would make a big statement for the sake of inviting fame. It's not a move to invite fame, but what kind of strategy does it have to deal with Xie Hong's demon? He couldn't help but be frightened, so that he stood up to show respect.
Xie Qian, the old man of the pavilion, is still like this, not to mention others, hundreds of eyes with a little expectation in surprise gathered on Wang Jianzhi, but the latter was calm, and it added a lot of confidence to everyone.
attracted everyone's attention, Wang Jianzhi calmly saluted Xie Qian, and first accused: "Elder Ge, when the official comments, he may be a little offended, and I hope that Elder Ge will forgive me." ”
As everyone knows, in Xie Hong's series of successes, Xie Qian has played the role of a loser many times, which is also the origin of the taboo of Xie Fu. There is no need for Wang Jianzhi to say much, everyone also knows it, and many people still peeked at Xie Qian, wanting to see it from his expression.
"It doesn't matter." Xie Qian smiled indifferently, looking completely unconcerned. Of course, the attitude towards the subordinates can't be brought to Shilin, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, Xie Ge is an open-minded elder, how can he care about these small things?
"The lower official is offended." Wang Jianzhi saluted again, and then said loudly: "Xie Hong is so difficult to control, because the court and the central government underestimate him and do not pay enough attention to it. ”
"Lord Wang, isn't this important enough? I won't mention all this year, just last August......"
Wang Jianzhi said with a smile: "The chaos that night was actually due to the lack of attention from the DPRK and the Central Committee, which allowed Xie Hong to get lucky, otherwise, even if Xie Hong has a thousand means, as long as the DPRK and the Central Committee unify the command of all troops and horses and make every effort to contain Xiyuan, how can it not be successful?" ”
He didn't wait for others to think, and continued: "Actually, since the first day Xie Hong entered Beijing, the expectations of our scholars have been deviated. Although he is a courtier, he is completely different from those in the past, and there is no need to say more about it, everyone knows it in their hearts. In addition to Xie Hong, the emperor's heart and surname have also quietly changed, but we didn't notice it......"
Wang Jianzhi's reputation for speaking out is indeed unexpected, and his approach of pointing directly at the fallacy of important ministers in the court is much riskier than scolding the emperor. Fortunately, what haunted everyone's hearts at this time was the major crisis brought by Xie Hong, and everyone didn't have the heart to think about it.
Even Xie Qian, who bore the brunt of the blame, frequently bowed his head, and there was no trace of warmth on his face, of course, it was unknown what everyone thought in their hearts.
Since Wang Jianzhi had already started, of course he would not stop because of scruples, he sighed and said: "Actually, looking back, if we had paid attention to it early and implemented all kinds of strategies after August in advance, how could it be the disaster we have today?" ”
"Lord Wang, everyone knows this truth, but there is no regret in the world that the medicine is sold, so what's the use of talking about it now?" Li Xi was a little impatient when he heard this, and immediately got up and questioned.
"Lord Li, this official is not playing with words, what he wants to explain is nothing more than that he must be vigilant enough against the emperor and Xie Hong, and when planning to deal with it, he should not stick to just one or two means."
Xie Qian heard some signs, and he twisted his beard and muttered, "Ming Zhong means ......"
Wang Jianzhi said solemnly: "Multi-pronged! ”
"What is a multi-pronged approach?" Xie Qian asked.
"Both civil and military, and the strategy of slowing down at the same time, in addition, the goal cannot be just on one person." Wang Jianzhi's eyes flashed, and the mystery was revealed.
"The policy of restricting transportation and boycotting cannot be abandoned. Although the capital has been supplemented by millions of taels, however, with the consumption rate of those institutions in the capital, the replenishment can only be alleviated for a while, not to mention, the emperor had mentioned the idea of a military academy and so on earlier, with the emperor's spleen surname, after getting the supplement, it must be a new round of expansion......"
Wang Jianzhi smiled and said: "Imagine, after this round of expansion, the emperor's stall will be spread bigger, but the input may not increase, and it is better to repeat it to the old road when the time comes?" ”
"But Xie Hong has already controlled the sea and land of the Wa Kingdom, and has obtained ships, as long as he organizes a sea trade caravan...... someone objected.
"Huh." Wang Jianyi stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Dare to ask Hong Weng, do you know what kind of goods are used for marketing in the Japanese country?" ”
The old man of the Hong family was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Well, of course, silk, tea, and porcelain...... Yes! I see. ”
"Yes, these are all from my Jiangnan, as long as we work together and strictly control them, then Xie Hongzong can get one or two from private, how can he use it for the capital?" Wang Jianzhi groaned: "Of course, the country is full of gold and silver, and with that person's surname, it is likely that he will directly grab ......."
"If that's the case, it's a great blessing for the country." Xie Qian laughed, took over the conversation and said: "Think about how majestic Meng Yuan was back then, and as a result, the expedition to the Japanese Kingdom will inevitably lose troops and generals, if Xie Hong really mobilizes troops and horses to go, hehe, it is expected that he will not win easily, even if he can win, it will inevitably take a long time, and it is the time for the Central Plains to take trouble." ”
"What the elder has seen is extremely true." Wang Jianzhi smiled and said: "As for the goods in Jiangnan, as long as you change the route and go to Luzon and Nanyang, then if Xie Hong comes, then I will wait for work." ”
"What does Lord Wang mean, is it possible that he wants to rebuild the water division?" Driven by Wang and Xie, some of the people offered suggestions, and some made up for the shortcomings, and the atmosphere began to be warm.
"No, no, why bother, as long as the fleets of each family are assembled, it will be a huge force, so why is it difficult to recruit some sailors at that time?" Wang Jianzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's more, the power on the sea is more than that, as far as the lower officials know, there are still some people who crisscross the South China Sea and the East China Sea, and they have very rich combat experience......
"What Lord Wang said, is it a ......"
Wang Jianzhi nodded slowly, and said word by word: "Yes, it's them." ”
