Chapter 861: Untitled (II)

Chapter 861 is untitled

In Wang Chonggu's letter to the cabinet, he replied that he had been captured, and that I would have a complete psychological advantage on Chinese New Year's Eve, and if I proposed to pay tribute at this time, no one would think that it would be a loss of power and humiliation of the country, and it was advisable to make a decision as soon as possible to avoid indulging this good opportunity.

The cabinet's reply is only 16 words: 'Where the opportunity is, there is no room for it, respect the established situation, and act on it!' The subtext is, you can do whatever you want, and we are on the side of the court, so there is no need to worry.

So Wang Chonggu sent Bao Chongde to conclude an agreement with Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji and Yikhatun jointly signed a letter to imply submission to the imperial court...... This was not a difficult task for several Taiji and Ikhatun, because although Alta was the king of the country, he did not disapprove of the Chahar Khan's court. Since they still recognize the Chinese New Year's Eve Khan of Hal as the main one, and then recognize the Ming Dynasty as their master, there will be no Chinese New Year's Eve problem. There may be some discomfort, but it doesn't matter, although the owner has changed his name, he still can't care about them, and there are also the benefits of Fenggong opening the market in the back, it's worth it. In the end, it turns out that people don't value face as much as the Han people.

Then Wang Chonggu was responsible for asking for a seal for their family, and the two sides opened mutual market negotiations. It was also agreed that from now on, the Chinese New Year's Eve and the trilateral weapons will not be prosperous, and if anyone provokes a border provocation, the two sides will jointly condemn it. Bingge, what's the benefit? The benefit of the captives is for the men, not for the chiefs; The danger of defeat is the leader's, not the men's. So why risk Chinese New Year's Eve to fight for some benefits for your subordinates that have nothing to do with you? In the final analysis, all of man's claims are calculated for himself.

The Ming Dynasty also allowed the other side to send representatives to visit Alta, and after the peace talks were successful, they could also send people to serve for a long time. In order to hint at sincerity, the party will arrest Xiao Qin and other white lotus demons and send them to Chinese New Year's Eve, and even dismantle Bansheng and expel the Han people to return south. On the latter point, Wang Chonggu hinted that there was no need, as long as we promised that we would set up Han officials there to manage it...... Because of the eagerness to ask for tribute, the people also promised.

Because Ikhatun hated Xiao Qin for tempting her to answer her granddaughter-in-law, she led to these unwarranted disasters, so she had long lured Xiao Qin and other white lotus backbones to Kuku and Tun under the pretext of discussing how to save Chinese New Year's Eve, and tied them all up. Now to give it to the Ming Dynasty, it is just a change of hands.

However, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, this was a victory for the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they were immediately transferred from Chinese New Year's Eve to Beijing. Emperor Longqing was personally captured in the Wumen Tower, sacrificed to the sky, and only after suing the Taimiao did he execute them Ling Chi, and finally passed the head to the nine sides!

Now the people are called vassals, and the traitors have also been sent...... This is a low profile that has not been seen in nearly a century, and it is enough to hint at their sincerity. According to the matter, things should go well, and the Ming Dynasty should no longer embarrass them.

But as Wang Chonggu expected, the difficulty of making peace was not in Tatar but in the imperial court. When Wang Chonggu skillfully used the card of my answer and wanted to eliminate the weapon at the border, the discussion of the court was all instigated. They thought that the tribute was a sign of weakness, and that it was wrong to open the market. They remember the story of Qiu Luan Kaimashi, and they want to be Yang Jisheng and resolutely veto this right-leaning capitulationism! They also mentioned that King Sejong had finally banned the opening of the horse market, and in the end, they wanted to advocate tribute to those who would guarantee that within a hundred years, the frontier would not be in trouble!

However, they forgot that now is not the era of Emperor Sejongsu, Gao Gong is not Yan Song, and Wang Chonggu is not Qiu Luan. As for guaranteeing that within 100 years, it will not cause trouble, that is pure nonsense, don't be a hundred years later, it will be ten years later, who can guarantee it?

Gao Gong is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he did not confess his attitude, but this time it was Zhang Juzheng who stood up, and this Chinese New Year's Eve bachelor was really excited, and he wrote to Wang Chonggu: "The tribute is to control the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Anbian Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people of the time are jealous, hold the opinions of the people, calculate the harm of the present, forget the long-term benefits, and want to shake the chaos and block it. The country is rich in high lords, and it is better to raise this generation, and it is really better to be a dog and a horse! The servant received the favor of the country, and there was no way to repay his death, and he surrendered to rebellion everywhere. When the Chinese New Year's Eve arrives, it should still be strongly approved, but after Xu Gong, there should be more measures. Now that Jiangnan is gone, the public needs to plan as much as possible, so as to avoid worrying about it afterwards. ’

At that time, Shen Mo had already left office, and the responsibility for the front line fell on Wang Chonggu, and when the officials were disagreeing, Chonggu also felt tricky, but Zhang Juzheng supported the cabinet on behalf of him, so that he withstood the pressure and said that he would pay tribute.

In terms of the cabinet, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Siwei all hinted at agreeing, but Gao Yi did not veto. However, there was a lot of discussion in the DPRK and China, and there were not a few people who demanded that I be killed, and some people even impeached Wang Chonggu for collaborating with the enemy and demanded that he be brought to justice.

It was Zhang Juzheng who went to Shu Longqing again, and expressed his attitude on behalf of the cabinet, he: "Today's speakers are all said to be weak and weak, and the horse market is provocative, and those who speak for this are not only disloyal, but also unwise!" The so-called peacemaker, said that the two enemies are angled, the wisdom and ugliness are even, and the self-degree is not enough to win, so he has to seek peace, such as the harmony of the Han Dynasty, the dedication of the Song Dynasty, is the peacemaker, in Yidi and not in China, so Jia Yi thought that it was upside down, and Kou Gong refused to discuss. Now he is called the minister, the obedience beggar, the peacemaker in China and not in Yidi, compared to the Han and Song Dynasty, it is not a tribute, but not a peace. ’

It means that the Han and Song dynasties were all forced by others to be indecent, so they called peace, but we are now the victors, and the other party is a minister who pays money and obeys and begs for money, how can it be a peace?

In response to the opening and closing of the horse market in Jiajing, he said: "As for the opening of the horse market in the past years, the official gave the horse price, and the city was easy to Huma. Today, on Chinese New Year's Eve, I clearly have famous generals and elite soldiers, and they dare to bully and dominate the market? ’

Regarding the general concern of the courtiers that people will betray the alliance in the future, Zhang Juzheng said: "The whole army and the practice of martial arts, guarding the border are things that we must strengthen day and night, how can we relax or strengthen because people cannot pay tribute and whether there is an alliance or not?" Besides, now in China, even if fathers, sons and brothers meet, they can't help but ensure that they don't disobey, let alone Di Yihu? No matter how many people have been plundered for decades, and no land has been entered, is it all because they have betrayed the alliance? Even if they do betray the alliance in the future, it will not be worse than before. The return of benefits and harms is more black and white, and the speaker still says this, so the minister thinks it is unwise. ’

Zhang Juzheng's counterattack was very powerful, refuting the words of those vetoers one by one, but this world has never been a place to talk about reason, even if there is no more reason, some people will not listen to it, and still insist on their views, not singing against the stage.

In the end, the quarrel was really unseemly, Gao Gong finally came out to speak, let's discuss it in court...... Under the auspices of the emperor, everyone expressed their own opinions, and then the Chinese New Year's Eve family summed up their own opinions, and whichever opinion was held, according to which style. Of course, the emperor can make his own decisions, but it will hurt the hearts of Chinese New Year's Eve and courtiers...... The courtiers of the Chinese New Year's Eve could not afford to be hurt, and the consequences were known.

This kind of decision-making style with democratic colors was naturally not liked by the first emperor, especially in the matter of the Chinese New Year's Eve ceremony, Jiajing suffered all the hardships of the court discussion, so since he held power on Chinese New Year's Eve, he has never held a court meeting. Now Gao Gong proposed to discuss it again, which naturally made the Chinese New Year's Eve ministers excited...... Both sides of the dispute are convinced that they will win, so they stop arguing and seize the time to contact their colleagues who have the right to intervene, hoping to overwhelm each other in the court discussion.

So three days later, the Chinese New Year's Eve Ming Dynasty's landmark 'tribute vote' incident occurred, and a total of 44 people intervened in the court meeting, and at the meeting, the two sides in favor of the veto insisted on their respective views, spoke one after another, and finally wrote their respective opinions into a statement and submitted it to the emperor.

In order not to cause trouble, Emperor Longqing ordered people to announce them one by one in public, and the final statistics are as follows: there are twenty-two people who think that it is okay to pay tribute and exchange markets; Seventeen people thought it would not be possible; Another five people thought that it was permissible to pay tribute, but not to exchange markets. In later terminology, the tribute was mostly passed...... In other words, my life was saved. However, the mutual market still could not be passed, and on this article, 22 to 22, everything became a deadlock again.

In the end, it can only be judged. Emperor Longqing couldn't cry or laugh, which one is this? How do you mess it up, or do I have to take this responsibility? I had to discuss with several Chinese New Year's Eve bachelors - Gao Gong was the mastermind behind Feng Gong, Zhang Ju was the protagonist in front of the stage, and Zhang Siwei was moving around. At the instigation of these people, Longqing decided on the national policy of 'showing restraint on the outside and repairing the garrison on the inside' -- he criticized Zhu Zhu: "This matter is a Chinese New Year's Eve, and the border ministers know the secrets best, and now the border ministers can do it, and several of us Aiqing also have affairs, so let's do it, and spend more money and food!" ’

Although things are not so simple, and the hardships will not be detailed, but under the control of this efficient cabinet, it is usually necessary to discuss the affairs of the year, or to come down within a month. The imperial court conferred on me as the king of Shunyi, gave me a red python coat, and lived in the palace of the king in Beijing, and his Ikhatun conferred the title of Mrs. Shunyi, and gave Kuku and Tun as the 'naturalized city'...... This is the leader of the Wushen Department, and Huang Taiji went to the seal together, awarded the left and right governors, and each gave a red lion coat; The rest of the Taiji were given the same knowledge to the governor, and the leaders of the tribes were given command...... There were sixty-one people in total.

From then on, the Tatar knights became nobles and generals of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Their iron hooves no longer trample the fields of the Chinese New Year's Eve; Their swords and guns are no longer stained with China's blood. Of course, the imperial court could not talk about using Tatars to fight, but the imperial court could no longer fight against them...... Recalling a few years ago, when Li Da repeatedly went south and Beijing repeatedly imposed martial law, the country is now recovering, and the entire western three sides, Xuan Chinese New Year's Eve, and removing the threat of the enemy, not only saved millions of military expenses, but also enabled the imperial court to freely install it under the condition of manpower and material resources and no longer feel oppression.

But the initiator of all this has quietly moved south, and in that heated Chinese New Year's Eve debate, there is hardly any voice......

Time returned to the moment when I was captured, Xu was destined to be doomed, and Shen Mo also received the holy order to transfer him south...... Because the imperial court concentrated its forces in the north, causing the rebellion of Wei Yinbao in the southwest to become more and more intense, he captured Guilin as the national capital, killed the governor of Guangxi, and colluded with the king of Annan, after occupying the entire territory of Guangxi, invaded Guangdong, and its momentum was Chinese New Year's Eve, shocking China and foreign countries.

Of course, no matter how Chinese New Year's Eve the southwestern barbarians made trouble, they didn't need him, the second assistant, to personally admit, but because of a series of measures in the later stage of the war against Mongolia, Shen Mo was like worshipping the gods of Chengling, and he was still unclear with the noble girl...... Of course, the most fatal thing was that he bowed down to Genghis Khan, which shook the nerves of the Han ists on Chinese New Year's Eve, and even rose to the level of humiliating national dignity, believing that he was no longer suitable for the post of supervisor and should be punished.

In the face of the surging impeachment from all sides, Shen Mo never argued, but in his routine arguments, he admitted that he had indeed considered improper, and asked the emperor to forgive him...... The attitude is extremely sincere. At this time, there was a shocking Chinese New Year's Eve incident when Wei Yinbao captured Guilin, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go south and recommended Wang Chonggu to take over his errand.

Emperor Longqing naturally refused to see his teacher suffer such grievances, but eighty percent of those impeachments were placed by Shen Mo himself, and it was also his own idea to go south, and he even bluntly said in a letter to Gao Gong: "This is to escape and eliminate disasters." Gao Gong naturally understood his concerns, and the war in the north was decided, and Shen Mo withdrew at this time, and he could only admire it, not anything else.

So after some tossing and turning, Shen Mo was successfully appointed, and he didn't say goodbye to the civil and military forces, but just explained a few words to Wang Chonggu and Qi Jiguang, and he ordered someone to pack up and prepare to go south. On the day of untying, he received the news that I was captured, shocked, stood silently in the patio for a long time, Liuzi asked him if he untied the cable, he shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I don't know the result, how can I walk with peace of mind?" So he said to Wang Chonggu, who came to report: "Brother Jianchuan, even if I owe a favor, immediately ask Li Chengliang to go to the rescue with the whole army, that guy is the most stubborn and cunning, even if he can't save an adult, he won't pay for it." ”

"Where do Chinese New Year's Eve people say," Wang Chonggu said, "I answered that being captured is the highest military situation, and I have this intention." ”

"Thank you." Shen Mo nodded and said: "There should be a lot of things to do at this time, go quickly, don't accompany me as an idler." ”

"I'm here to invite the Chinese New Year's Eve people to preside over it," Wang Chonggu said respectfully, "The matter is here for the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the lower officials are afraid that there will be a mistake." ”

"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "If I don't have faith, I won't hand over the burden." Bravely shoulder the burden, Brother Jianchuan, you should be a ...... who will be famous in history."

"Yes......" Wang Chonggu bowed and retreated with gratitude.

After that, Shen Mo almost didn't think about tea and dinner, couldn't sleep at night, anxiously waiting for the news, until Qi Jimei received Zhong Jin and knew that she was safe, Shen Mo breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and said to the left and right: "Let's go." ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve, don't take a break first?"

"No, I'm going to sleep right away." Shen Mo shook his head. So the guards untied the cables, went all the way south, stayed at the military station at night, got up early the next morning, and continued on their way.

The grassland in the early morning was very quiet, and he silently glanced back at the north, only to see the vast green grassland, which was divided into two by the jade-like official road, and his heart seemed to be divided into two.

The official road in the distance suddenly showed a point, and then it got closer and closer, more and more Chinese New Year's Eve, and finally, the guards saw clearly that it was a woman riding a red horse and wearing a red dress. The woman rushed over murderously, but the guards did not stop it, but scattered far away.

The girl who came was Zhong Jin, she was also wearing a bride's costume, and the sweat and blood horse of the Western Regions under her crotch had turned from white to carmine because of sweating. Seeing that she rushed in front of Shen Mo, she still didn't slow down, and Shen Mo didn't move, just looked at her fixedly.

The two horses staggered by, Zhong Jin galloped up from the horse, hugged Shen Mo, and then the two fell off the horse and rolled in the thick long grass, the dew-stained grass wet their robes, but the two of them were frantically entangled in each other, regardless of the lost arms......

"Are you going to kill me?" Silence easily broke free from the girl's pink arm.

"You don't want me anymore." Zhong Jin glared angrily and said, "So push me into the fire pit, right?" ”

"Hu Badao!"

"Then how can you give me a gun, didn't you expect that I would be insulted?"

"I'm not Zhuge Kongming," Shen Mo sighed: "Believe me, if I knew that there would be such an encounter, I wouldn't let me marry." ”

"......" Jong Kim stared at him tightly, trying to see through his heart, but it couldn't be. After a long time, she sighed lightly and said, "In this life, I am destined to be played with applause." ”

"But he always seems to take the initiative to insult me." Shen Mo smiled bitterly.

"Phew, if you get cheap, you still sell it......"

Both of them fell into silence, and after a long time, they were silent and whispered, "I answer...... Not really, right? ”

"What do you care about, am I not a human being?" Zhong Jindao.

"It's my female apprentice......"

"Is there a master and apprentice who hug each other like this?"

"I can't help but do something to be sorry for my teacher." Shen Mo said helplessly: "I have sworn that I will never be sorry for her again in this life." ”

"Then have I been insulted, what should I do?" Zhong Jin said bitterly.

"But whether I do it or not, I'm already sorry for her." Shen Mo sighed and said: "About my peach biography, it has been spread to Beijing, whether there is this matter or not, I have caused harm to her again." ”

"Then go ......" Zhong Jin suddenly became angry, supported his chest with one hand, and punched with the other: "This coward, count me blind!" ”

"How can it be a dog's eye? It's watery peach blossom eyes......" Shen Mo endured the pain, grinned and said, "If you want, you can take time to go to Beijing and serve a bowl of tea to the master." ”

"......" Zhong Jin was stunned for a moment, stared at Shen Mo with Chinese New Year's Eve eyes and said, "What? I heard you right. ”

"Entangled with me, another shot knocked down Altan Khan, who will dare to fight in the future?" looked at her silently, and said softly: "What I do, I must bear the consequences." ”

"I don't need to be pitiful," Zhong Jin said with a cold face: "There are men in the world, why do you need to die and beg for nothing." ”

"Do you have to be my age," Shen Mo smiled bitterly: "A sound, I'm rare?" ”

"Who is rare...... Zhong Jin scolded with a smile and hugged his neck tightly.

Shen Mo still went on the road alone, and Zhong Jin told him that she would not leave the grassland, let alone go to Beijing to meet his tigress, because she was Zhong Jin, a woman who dared to soak her own master and shoot Altan Khan. In her life, she will not bend her knees to anyone again, she is afraid that once she arrives in Handi, she will not be able to make her own decisions.

She wants to return to the Hetao, use her title, to establish her tribe, and do what women in this era want to do but can't. She is also silent to Shen Shen, once she presents the tragedy of "high merit and shocking the master" or "rabbit dead dog cooking" in the history books, she welcomes him to come to the grassland to die and be her crushing man......

Soon after, Shen Mo learned that she no longer used Zhong Jin's title, nor did she call herself the county lord, but called herself the third lady...... This made the corners of Shen Mo's eyes sour, this woman's heart is actually not as hard as her mouth.

But the burden on her shoulders was too heavy, and Shen Mo couldn't give her anything, so she could only put away that little worry and look forward firmly.

Ten days later, he joined Aman, who had received the letter and went south, with his two sons.
