Chapter 659: The Price of the Rise of the Nation
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Qing'er shouted quietly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Ye Yingwu frowned in his sleep, this voice suddenly pulled him up from the darkness, Huo Ran opened his eyes, Ye Yingwu looked at Qing'er who was almost lying on the side of the bed: "Ma Xiangji is here?" β
Qing'er nodded, and Ye Yingwu exhaled a long breath, and there was no trace of exhaustion in his eyes in the dark, he sat up and calmed down for a while, then turned around and got up. And Hui Niang and Zhao Yunshu were inevitably awakened, the two of them rubbed their eyes in the dark, and by the time they realized what had happened, Ye Yingwu had already left.
Lightly put on his shirt with the help of Qing'er, Ye Yingwu was about to go out, the movements in Qing'er's hands beside him suddenly stopped, Ye Yingwu subconsciously looked back, I don't know when Zhao Yunshu and Hui Niang stood behind him holding hands, the two of them only wore white jackets, and they didn't even wear shoes, looking at him quietly. The bright moonlight spilled in through the crack in the window, enveloping the two beauties, like twin flowers quietly blooming in the moonlight, which was pitiful.
Ye Yingwu couldn't help but laugh and motioned for Qing'er to retreat first. Without waiting for Qing'er to turn around and leave, Zhao Yunshu didn't know when the pillow hidden behind him had already flown over: "Why are you going to hide it from the two of us like this?!" β
"You two are going to murder your husband!" Looking at the two people who threw themselves into his arms, Ye Yingwu knew that he was misunderstood, after all, when Ye Yingwu left like this before, he was afraid that they were worried because he was going to some dangerous place, he reached out and rubbed Hui Niang's somewhat messy hair, and helped Zhao Yunshu wipe away the tears on his cheeks, Ye Yingwu said helplessly, "Ma Xiangji came back from the north, and he only arrived tonight, so he always has to talk to him before the big court meeting, so as not to mess up tomorrow morning." β
"Do you think the concubine will be stupid enough to believe you?" Hui Niang snorted.
Ye Yingwu suddenly said helplessly: "You don't believe so-and-so to tell the truth, so what do you want to do?" β
"Ma Xianggong is in a hurry to come back from the north, but what is wrong?" Zhao Yunshu asked in a low voice while helping Ye Yingwu tie the last belt, and then straightening his collar.
Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment, but still nodded: "The Jurchens are making trouble." β
"Jurchen?" Zhao Yunshu was slightly stunned, "Liaodong? β
"At this time, there was a riot in Liaodong, although it would not shake the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, but it was enough to cause a lot of trouble." Ye Yingwu's voice was low, and he said lightly, "But these are nothing, the blood feud between Huaxia and the Jurchens for a hundred years, I am looking for a chance to settle it, and now that they are coincidentally sent to the door, there is no polite reason." β
Slowly clenching Ye Yingwu's hand, Zhao Yunshu looked at his husband silently, and on the other side, Hui Niang also hugged one of Ye Yingwu's arms. Reluctantly showing a smile, Ye Yingwu immediately said: "Don't worry, this little thing is not enough to make someone busy, although it is unexpected this time, but it is not so easy to defeat a certain person." β
Zhao Yunshu nodded solemnly, and Ye Yingwu also gently hugged the two of them: "Okay, go back quickly, it's still very early before dawn, sleep a little longer, and it's cold at night, you two are a certain heart baby, don't you be afraid of freezing if you dress like this?" β
"Husbandγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Hui Niang shouted in a low voice, stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Yingwu on the cheek.
And Ye Yingwu laughed, turned to look at Zhao Yunshu, Shu'er gave him a fierce look, but he also came to learn from it. Ye Yingwu didn't laugh at the two of them much, turned around and pushed the door open. A bright moonlight sprinkled in front of the court, and the night breeze carried coolness.
Seeing Ye Yingwu's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, Hui Niang couldn't help but sneeze, so frightened that Zhao Yunshu hurriedly pulled over her coat and wrapped her firmly, and escorted Hui Niang back. Wang Qinghui paused for a moment, and looked back suddenly, under the bright moonlight, how many people couldn't sleep tonight?
And the moment my husband stepped out of the door, how many good heads were going to fall again?
"Sister, you said that tomorrow, what will the world become?" Wang Qinghui suddenly spoke.
Zhao Yunshu was silent for a long time before he showed a smile: "Don't worry, with your husband, the sky of the Ming Dynasty will not fall." β
ββββββββββββ-
"Minister Ma Tingyou see Your Majesty!" Ma Tingyou saw Ye Yingwu coming over, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Aiqing traveled thousands of miles, worked hard overnight, and worked hard." Ye Yingwu stepped forward to help, and Ma Tingyou hurriedly stood up straight, he wouldn't be really stupid and wait for Ye Yingwu to help.
Looking at Ma Tingyou, who had dark circles under his eyes and deep bags under his eyes, Ye Yingwu couldn't help laughing, "Aiqing is really embarrassed." β
Ma Tingyou smiled to himself, Ye Yingwu's joke instantly made him feel back to his original feeling, and almost subconsciously replied: "Your Majesty is not far behind compared with the ministers." β
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the same time. And Ye Yingwu patted Ma Tingyou on the shoulder: "It's not just the two of us who can't sleep tonight." β
Ma Tingyou nodded, put away the smile on his face, the tempering in the Western Regions and the Northern Land in the past few years has made him completely change from a weak scholar to a strong man, and his mind is also a lot calmer, and the retraction of this expression has already reached the point of perfection: "According to His Majesty's previous orders, the minister has already gone to Chen Xianggong, Wen Xianggong, and Xie Xianggong." β
Ye Yingwu instructed Qing'er to wait for tea next to him, and walked to the wall where the map was hung: "This burden mainly has to fall on Chen Yizhong's shoulders, come to this big night, I don't have any good things here to take out for you to eat, drink a cup of tea to warm up." β
"If you have a cup of tea, you will be content," Ma Tingyou said with a smile, stretching out his hand and pointing on the map, "The minister came from Jinzhou five days ago, and he didn't receive the news of the riot at that time, but he was just one step ahead as the representative of Jinyiwei and the six doors, but who would have thought that he would receive a message from the flying pigeon halfway, and a few of them would not be able to come back." β
"Even if Guo Xusheng comes back, I have to reassign him to Liaodong, and the six doors and Jinyi guards in Liaodong rely on you." Ye Yingwu Zhengse said, "Li Changxi estimates that it will arrive in the morning, this guy will definitely not be late for me when he made a military order in the recital, so I can only believe him." Now only Zhao Wenyi and Wang Huchen are left in Liaodong, although they are both literate and martial, but after all, they are a little thin, there will be no surprises, right? β
Ma Tingyou stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, throughout the ages, the reason why riots can cause chaos on one side and even lead to the demise of a dynasty is that it is large-scale and sudden, the imperial court's army is rarely trained, and it is dispatched over long distances, so naturally there is no way to deal with the local mob with a large number of people and familiar with the terrain, but there is a big difference between Liaodong at this time and several riots in previous history. β
The Ming Dynasty had heavy troops in Liaodong, and had long been wary of the Jurchens, and at the same time, the Six Doors and the Jinyi Guard had a large number of spies among the Jurchens, so it was difficult for this riot to become a climate. What's more, the Jurchens have an estrangement from the Han people, and the Han people are also very prepared, in fact, the Zhenhai Navy and the Six Gates have a lot of predetermined plans for the Jurchens, including extreme massacres and relatively mild internal relocation, but I didn't expect that it was the Jurchens who took the lead.
"This is also the reason why he didn't directly drag all the court officials to the imperial study." Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly, "But this is somewhat unexpected after all, is the Jurchen news very well-informed!" β
"Six doors are not good, please forgive your majesty!" Ma Tingyou hurriedly handed it over, after all, this matter was indeed negligent on the six doors, and he didn't even notice that someone had sent a message to the Jurchens. Of course, this can't all be blamed on the six doors, the world is so big, this little bit of trivial things is really difficult to guard against, when everyone focuses on Nanjing, who would have thought that these families would choose to break the situation in Liaodong?
Ye Yingwu waved his hand: "It's useless to say these things now, since there is no way to prevent it from happening, then you can only make up for it." Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go to Chen and Quan and the others. Fortunately, this Liaodong riot should also be a hasty move for the Jurchens, otherwise it may really bring us a lot of trouble. β
Ma Tingyou gently wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Chen Xianggong has already sent people to Liaodong, but he will definitely not be able to catch up with tomorrow's court meeting, not to mention that it is not easy to catch the mastermind behind the scenes by following the clues in the hands of the six doors." β
"It's okay," Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, "I can afford to wait." What's more, there are a lot of things to say tomorrow, and there are no less of them. β
"But someone will definitely γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» tomorrow," Ma Tingyou looked at Ye Yingwu hesitantly.
Ye Yingwu sneered: "There are so many things in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, do you have to hold on to Liaodong, don't forget, this court, this world, I still have the final say." β
"But Liaodong can't be delayed," Ma Tingyou had a worried look on his face, "Liaodong is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the north, once the Liaodong Jurchens make a rebellion, it is very likely that the Bohai people and the rest of the large and small tribes between the white mountains and black waters in Liaodong will respond to the wind, after all, they have mainly fought under the command of the Jurchens over the years, and the Jurchens have set off a war, which will cause a response to some extent." β
Glancing at the map, Ye Yingwu said lightly: "The Jurchens seem to have lived too comfortably under the hands of the Mongols, and when it comes to my Daming, I don't know what to do, I didn't plan to completely sweep them away before, but now these guys have hit the door by themselves, so there is no reason to let them go." β
There was a hint of coldness in Ye Yingwu's voice, which made Ma Tingyou subconsciously hold his breath, he had not felt such coldness before, and even remembered it vividly, indicating that His Majesty had already moved into anger and was ready to kill the Jurchens.
"The blood feud between the Jurchens and me in Huaxia, although it was cleared on the eve of Duanping and entering Luo, but the grievances of the past hundred years, the humiliation suffered by the children of China over the past hundred years, and the blood flowing, can not be just settled, the Song people feel that it is enough, but I feel that there is still a little bit of fire, and the difficulty of Jingkang and the shame of the kingdom are all liquidated this time," Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and pointed at the map. "There is less than two Huai troops on the grassland, let the two Huai armies go out of Jinzhou, and we must assist the town navy to quell the Liaodong rebellion as soon as possible."
Ma Tingyou just solemnly bowed his hand, he knew very well that Ye Yingwu's order was equivalent to putting the two Huai Army, a fierce tiger, into Liaodong, and the town navy that was originally in Liaodong was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The resentment accumulated by the Zhenhai Navy and the Lianghuai Army during the Northern Expedition - after all, Kublai Khan fell into the hands of the Xuanwu army, and it must be counted as the first merit anyway - just found a place to vent.
What's more, the source of the Zhenhai Navy and the Lianghuai Army are all Lianghuai, what is the way for the people of Lianghuai, Ma Tingyou knows very well, these are the people who went south from the Central Plains when Jingkang was in trouble, it can be said that Jingkang's difficulty has been indelible on their ancestors' bodies, and now let these people deal with the Jurchens, Ye Yingwu is planning to exterminate the rhythm of the Jurchens.
However, Ma Tingyou is not the stunned young man he was back then, and the years of tempering have made him mature a lot, so he didn't jump three feet high, but just looked up at Ye Yingwu silently. His composure and calmness told him that it was definitely not a good way to do this, after all, for the current Da Ming, the Jurchen coolies were still very precious, and if they were to kill directly in Liaodong, the Ming would probably lose more than they gained.
Looking at Ma Tingyou's snorting appearance, Ye Yingwu chuckled, he could figure out how much this guy's thoughts, after all, Ma Tingyou was the calmest among them when he was in Lin'an, and now that he has become more stable, it is reasonable for him to have other ideas.
"Aiqing, raising tigers is a problem," Ye Yingwu said lightly, his eyes followed the map from Liaodong to the north, until the end, "The current Jurchens are not worried, but two hundred years later, three hundred years later, who can say clearly?" β
In history, it was the Jurchens who started with thirteen pairs of clothes and armor, and made a comeback from the white mountains and black waters, which subverted the Huanghuang Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and made the land of China tremble under the iron hooves of foreign races again. And even after the Jurchens dominated the world for 200 years, China entered the most humiliating and darkest modern times. The blood and tears brought by the Jurchens to Huaxia are still fresh in Ye Yingwu's memory, and he will not allow them to have the opportunity to make a comeback under his own indulgence.
This is Ye Yingwu's bottom line. Of course, Ye Yingwu knew that they couldn't understand what he said to Ma Tingyou now, after all, this was something that happened hundreds of years later in another time and space. Although the Jurchens had a lot of blood debts with Huaxia, in the final analysis, when Meng Heng broke Caizhou in the former Song Dynasty, so that the Jurchens also tasted the pain of the loss of the country, under the full propaganda of the former Song Dynasty at that time, the morale of the domestic military and the people was greatly boosted, and many people gradually forgot the hatred with the Jurchens - after all, the rapid rise of the Mongols has become a huge threat, and even in many cases the Song people have to stand on the same front with the Jurchens to resist this new danger of national destruction.
Ma Tingyou shuddered slightly, cultivating opponents to temper themselves is a common means of a dynasty, but raising tigers is a big taboo, in Ye Yingwu's eyes, he is still just a plate of scattered Jurchens, obviously not just an insignificant small threat, but a big disaster that may form at any time, so he decided to cut the grass and eradicate it without hesitation.
"Xiangji," Ye Yingwu walked to Ma Tingyou's side, although his voice was very low, it was enough to make Ma Tingyou's pupils dilate suddenly, "The rise of a nation is to step on the flesh and blood of countless nations, I don't want Huaxia to be trampled under the feet of others, so I can only take Huaxia to step on other people's bones, otherwise we have no way to continue to go up, one day we will be caught up, will be surpassed, and will be ruthlessly trampled." Remember, to be merciful to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself. If a nation wants to rise, it will have to pay a price of flesh and blood, and this price is best paid by the enemy. β
Ma Tingyou squinted his eyes subconsciously, and his consciousness was even a little trance-like.
And Ye Yingwu patted him on the shoulder, walked straight behind the screen, and didn't forget to say when he left: "Aiqing, it's almost dawn, and it won't be long before you go to the court, Aiqing is afraid it's too late to go back to sleep now, it's better to go to the Yamen of the Six Gates to hand over the affairs, a few of you are not here, the affairs of the six gates of the capital are about to become me." β
"Obey the order!" Ma Tingyou snorted and replied loudly.
Ye Yingwu paused and didn't say anything.
Ma Tingyou turned around slowly, and he didn't know when, the bright moon in the sky was gone, replaced by a line of ruddy and white fish belly for half a day.
