"Besides, those guards are military households, and they have the fields allocated to them by the imperial court, but these people have also been controlled and oppressed by their superiors, those who are also hereditary officers, for more than a hundred years, those officers have become landlords, and these military households have become tenant long-term workers, because the grain paid by military households in the fields is much less than the taxes paid when they were ordinary people, if the imperial court orders them to return to the fields to be common people, I am afraid that it will provoke rebellion." Qian Guanglai analyzed slowly.

Li Cangxing said hatefully: "This can't work, that can't work, and the important ministers of the court in high positions don't want to think of a way?" Do you just watch the people of the coast suffer? ”

Gongsun Hao sneered: "Think of a way? They will only find ways to reap benefits for themselves, and now that Lord Xia Yan is about to fall, traitors like Yan Song control the government and wantonly sell officials and lords, even if there are some people like Hu Zongxian who want to do things, they can't change the vast majority of corrupt officials who just scrape the ground and seek personal gain. ”

"Brother Li, why are you Lu Bing so energetic to eliminate the martial artists of the rivers and lakes and balance the forces of good and evil? That's because the world is raging, on the verge of breaking out, more than 20 years ago, King Ning rebelled, a vassal king raised his arms and shouted, the world responded, and almost took Nanjing City in two months, the Ming Dynasty has already been in crisis, and even the number of people who join our beggar gang is increasing year by year, this is not for those dog officials!"

Li Cangxing gritted his teeth and said: "Let's not talk about how dark it is above this court, at least according to what the gang leader and the fat man said, that Hu Zongxian is still a good official, I have also seen Tan Lun and Shen Lian, and he should also be a person who wants to make a difference. Do you want to pacify the Japanese first? Didn't Lu Bing lure him with glory and wealth, and also attracted many people from the rivers and lakes to become Jinyi Guards? ”

Qian Guanglai shook his head: "Cangxing, Lu Bing is Jinyiwei, joining Jinyiwei is a military attaché, not a big soldier, the worst Jinyiwei also has a foreign military position, and some people from the rivers and lakes join the six doors and become public arresters, often they are also small officials, not those civilians who serve as government servants." ”

"It's easy to recruit hundreds of officers. But if you want to recruit tens of thousands of troops, then most of them must be big soldiers, is it possible that ten years of martial arts practice just to be a soldier? Not to mention the loss of the most precious freedom of our warriors. This kind of thing, unless it is desperate. Otherwise, no one willing. Therefore, Governor Hu is indeed recruiting and training troops now, but it is impossible to recruit me Jianghu warriors. It can only be recruited from among the civilian population who are strong and powerful. ”

"Cangxing. Now Hu Butang can only rely on some temporarily recruited elite soldiers, such as the Jinyi Guards under Shen Lian, or the Jianghu warriors recruited by Tan Lun last time, or the monks and soldiers of Southern Shaolin, and use these people to deal with small-scale Japanese landings. Use the guards who can fight in a war to deal with larger-scale raiders, such as the number of pirates of several thousand people, and train new soldiers while negotiating with Wang Zhi about switching trade. When you have the conditions, you will think about it. ”

Li Cangxing was discouraged when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I am a big country, but I was made powerless by these robbers from the sea, Cangxing is really unwilling. ”

There was a hint of helplessness in Qian Guanglai's eyes: "I just talked about the difficulties of exterminating the Japanese invaders militarily, but in fact, the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, what I hate even more is not that they can't defeat these Orientals militarily, but that a large number of people along the coast collude with these Japanese people to lead them to attack the prefecture and county, these are all wildfires that cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again!"

Li Cangxing's heart was on fire when he heard this: "These dogs, colluding with the Japanese and invading the state of their parents, should be caught and killed one by one, and their ancestral graves should be leveled!"

Qian Guanglai and Gongsun Hao glanced at each other, and said with a wry smile: "Cangxing, there is no need to be so intense, the reason why these people are willing to be widows is also because they have no choice but to suffer, you listen to me slowly." ”

"Our current Jiajing Emperor is not the biological son of the previous emperor Emperor Zhengde, because Emperor Zhengde died in the middle of the road, there are no heirs, the important ministers found him from the vassal royal clan to take over as the unification, after he became the emperor, the old ministers led by Yang Tinghe, the former head of the cabinet, have been giving him great pressure, and he is not even allowed to call his biological father father, but can only call uncle, and he has to call the former Zhengde Emperor Dad."

Li Cangxing had heard this in the teahouse before, and nodded: "I know about this, it is true that those old ministers are too bullying, how can there be such a reason." I heard that Xia Yan and Yan Song were the ones who passed the big ritual discussion incident, and finally let Emperor Jiajing recognize his father and drive away those old ministers of the previous dynasty, and then began to enter the cabinet as a prime minister. ”

Gongsun Hao said: "Yes, this matter is known to everyone in the world, but Xia Yan and their great ceremony discussion is a later matter, the first year of the emperor's ascension to the throne, there was also a tribute dispute between the Japanese people here in Ningbo, Zhejiang. ”

"In the past, although I had a maritime ban policy in the Ming Dynasty, it has never been seriously implemented since Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, and basically the government has turned a blind eye to coastal fishermen fishing or overseas trade. However, for the official trade of foreign countries, it was still the responsibility of the municipal shipping department, for example, for the Wa Kingdom, it was to send a survey to their ruling shogunate, and with this survey, they could bring cargo ships over for trade once a year. ”

"I have always regarded myself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and for these vassal states, I have never mentioned trade, and the commodities and goods they bring are called tributes, and those who return to them are called rewards.

"Cangxing, you have been with that Yanagi Xiongba for a year, you should have heard him say about the Oriental, the Wa Kingdom was also in chaos in the world decades ago, and there were many candidates, and the original survey was in the hands of a candidate, named Hosokawa, and later the Oriental court gave another warlord Ouchi a new survey, which caused the second year of Jiajing, both of which came to Ningbo with the survey and the fleet."

Li Cangxing was a little confused when he heard this, and interrupted Gongsun Hao's words: "Helper, I don't understand a little, Kanhe said that there is only one imperial court, why are there two in the hands of the Orientals?" Could it be a forgery? ”

Qian Guanglai said with a smile: "The Hosokawa family is the father of Emperor Zhengde, the survey sent by the previous Emperor Xiaozong, it is said that it has long expired, and the Ouchi family has driven the Hosokawa family out of Kyoto in the Oriental civil war, it is said that it is a more powerful warlord, but there is no way to unify the Japanese country, but the survey in the hand is given by Emperor Zhengde, which should be legal and valid." ”

"However, the Hosokawa family used an expired survey to use a Japanese-born Chinese as a deputy envoy, bribed the officials of the city department in Ningbo at that time, and instead squeezed out the Ouchi family who held the regular survey agreement, and wanted to attack and kill these envoys and merchants of the Ouchi family."

"But that time the Ouchi family was also prepared, and many of the people brought were swordsmen with high martial arts, and the two sides had a melee in Ningbo City, and the Ouchi family not only killed the envoys and merchants of the Hosokawa family, but also killed a lot of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and finally ransacked Ningbo City and fled back to the East."

"After this incident, Emperor Jiajing decided that the Wa State did not take him as an emperor in his eyes and was very disrespectful to him, so he directly reinstated the ban on the sea, prohibiting overseas trade with foreign countries, and also asked all the fishermen and traders along the coast to move inward, and not to go to the sea."

When Gongsun Hao heard this, he sighed: "Brother Li, you may not know anything about Zhejiang and Fujian, the land of Minyue has always been more people and less land, since ancient times, it has been known as seven mountains, two rivers and one field, most fishermen have been fishing for thousands of generations, and they will not farm at all, and let them forcibly move into the hinterland, and there is not so much land to give production, and finally let these fishermen become the slaves of rich families, sell their sons and daughters, or join our beggars' gangs and make a living by begging." ”

"The wisdom of our beggars, every year there will be thousands of such Minyue fishermen who have no way to live to join, because of the laws of our dynasty, it is a great crime to exterminate the people, so some people learn to be like the Oriental bandits, shaving their hair and making it easy to wear, barefoot vertebrae, ten Japanese people, less than three real Japanese people, most of them are still our Ming people."
