Chapter 14: World Affairs 1
Wanshou Temple, was founded in the Tang Dynasty, and then after thousands of years, in the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor was named Wanshou Temple, seeking longevity without borders, then, as the royal collection of Buddhist scriptures, in the past few decades, to Chongzhen years, has become one of the famous Buddhist temples in the north.
And the reason why this time will be put here to carry out the meeting, is because, not only the environment is quiet, Zen forest, the collection of many Buddhist scriptures, the most important thing is that this is the royal Buddhist temple, and why the new science and technology scholars will hold a cultural meeting, in order to find out the upcoming palace examination situation, and if anyone shows their face on this cultural meeting, maybe it can be transmitted to the emperor's ears, when the time comes to the palace examination, there will always be more opportunities than others.
Although this hope is very slim, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, it is not a chance.
When Shi Lei and the Zhu sisters came to the gate of the Zen temple, they saw that the entrance of the ancient temple, which should have been quiet and quiet, was actually full of all kinds of horses and sedan chairs.
"Miss Zhu, it looks like we're already late, let's go in quickly." After Shi Lei got off the horse with difficulty, he said to Zhu Weiyuan on the side.
"Ah, oh, is this Wanshou Zen Temple, since it's here, let's go in!" After listening to Shi Lei's words, Zhu Weiyuan said casually, and when a discerning person saw it, he knew that her mind was not here at all.
Seeing Zhu Weiyuan with a depressed face, Shi Lei felt helpless for a while, thinking of what he said to Zhu Weiyuan on the road just now, although it was a bit exaggerated, but compared to what will happen in the future, it is nothing at all, but those reserved words have already made Zhu Weiyuan unable to react for so long.
"Shi Gongzi, you say, can we still be saved?"
Just as Shi Lei raised his feet and walked towards the temple, he suddenly felt his sleeves sink, and then, he heard Zhu Weiyuan's voice behind him, although it was still tactful and clear, but with a hint of trembling and fear.
"Hey, Miss Zhu, I've already said it just now, and the next remarks are just the worst plan, so why should the girl take it seriously?" Shi Lei said with a sigh.
"No, the slave family will not feel wrong, although Shi Gongzi's words seem to be a joke, but the slave family knows that what Shi Gongzi said is right, since Gongzi can see all this clearly, then there will definitely be a solution, otherwise, Gongzi will definitely not analyze all aspects so thoroughly, and even his father, who knows all kinds of court situations, does not see Gongzi clearly." Zhu Weiyuan's face suddenly changed the distracted expression just now, and she said with excitement on her face.
After listening to Zhu Weiyuan's words, the muscles on Shi Lei's face twitched constantly, and he roared in his heart: Grandma, I have a way to make the Ming Dynasty immortal, but I am neither Chongzhen nor a big man, I am a little Jinshi, even if I have any way, will those big people listen to me, just like the Chongzhen who wants to save face, the most scruples about dying are actually his own face, I feel that I have no face to see my ancestors, to this kind of person, if you propose to him at this time, if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you can only move the capital, Why don't you blame him if he clicks?
Although he thought so in his heart, Shi Lei still said with a solemn face on his face, "Miss Zhu, sometimes I can see clearly but it may not be able to work, besides, even if I really have a way, but if I am a Jinshi, who can really listen to it, is it a minister of Zaifu or Your Majesty, it is estimated that my words have just come out, and it is better to say that I am arrogant, and it is possible to kill me directly if I am not good." ”
"No, it's useful, it's really useful, no matter what Shi Gongzi says, the slave family will definitely remember it, so as to pass it on to my father, and please tell Shi Gongzi the truth for the sake of our acquaintance." Seeing that Shi Lei's tone was a little loose, Zhu Weiyuan said urgently.
Although I don't understand, why this noble lady is so interested in this kind of military affairs, but since the words have been said here, Shi Lei can only say something to him, of course, Shi Lei is not talking nonsense, although there is real information about later generations there, but after all, it is with some characteristic emotions, just like "History of the Ming Dynasty", who wrote it, it was written by the Qing Dynasty that replaced the Ming Dynasty, will they write about how good the people of the Ming Dynasty are, it is absolutely impossible.
What Shi Lei wanted to tell her was the news he got from his master Liu Xiangyan, and combined it with some situations in later generations, so as to draw conclusions, and his conclusions were also recognized by his master.
"Miss Zhu, since the words have already been said here, then I will say it directly." After thinking about it, Shi Lei spoke.
"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, please just say it, and the slave family will listen to you." Seeing that Shi Lei finally spoke, Zhu Weiyuan suddenly said with a smile on her face, and even the title was promoted from son to sir.
"Just now the girl asked me, Da Ming is still saved, I can answer the girl, Da Ming is still saved." Speaking of this, Shi Lei saw that the smile on Zhu Weiyuan's face became even brighter.
Immediately continued, "But if you want to save Daming, it is extremely difficult, although it is not necessary to fight the world when Taizu fought the world, it is not much different." For the current general trend of the world, the girl should also know that the thief Li Zicheng has changed from the original rogue to having his own independent and stable territory, which means that he already has the strength to fight against the imperial court, and over the years, the imperial court has lost troops and lost generals, and the treasury is empty, let alone exterminate the rebels, and even self-protection cannot be done at all.
In addition to these years, in order to resist foreign enemies and exterminate traitors, the taxes of the imperial court are higher and higher, and there are continuous natural disasters everywhere, so that more and more people have lost the land they rely on for survival and become homeless, which invisibly makes the strength of the imperial court weaker and weaker. ”
"Yes, that's the case at the moment, what Mr. said is good, but since Mr. has analyzed it thoroughly, then there must be a solution." Zhu Weiyuan said.
"First of all, that is to persuade His Majesty to move south to Nanjing." Shi Lei said.
"Moving south, why move south, isn't it more convenient for us to move in the capital?" Vile said suspiciously.
"Yes, in comparison, the capital is more convenient than Nanjing, but you must know that after decades of natural disasters and man-made disasters in the entire north, the Manchu invasion, there is no peaceful place in the entire north, and after the death of Lu Dashuai and Sun Dashuai, the imperial court south of the river no longer has a formed elite army, and it is simply wishful thinking to exterminate the traitors with the young men who have been recruited now.
And the south is different, after moving the capital to Nanjing, the imperial court can get rid of the situation of fighting on all sides, and can rest and recuperate for a period of time, so as to accumulate strength, in addition, after the south from General Qi, has been stable and stable, and the soldiers are elite enough, with this, although it can not immediately change the current situation, but at least it can stabilize the situation, and after the south is stabilized, the imperial court can wait for the opportunity to start a northern expedition. Speaking of this, Shi Lei stopped, and saw that Zhu Weiyuan's face leaked a thoughtful expression, and suddenly, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
In fact, the reason why Shi Lei wants Emperor Chongzhen to move the capital is that although Emperor Chongzhen is not a competent emperor, he is the rightful emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all.
Seeing that Zhu Weiyuan had returned to normal, Shi Lei spoke again, "Secondly, it is the right to collect troops." ”
"Collect military power, but aren't all those military powers now all from the imperial court? Why did the imperial court still collect military power? This time it was Zhu Weiyuan who asked.
Looking at Zhu Weiyuan with a puzzled face, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh, although this girl's knowledge has surpassed ordinary people, but after all, there is still something lacking.
"It's all from the imperial court, then, I would like to ask the girl, it is said that some time ago, the imperial court asked Zuo Liangyu Zuo Dadu Governor to go to Jingxiang to cooperate with General Hu's department to exterminate the traitor Li Guo, but the Zuo Dadu Governor, who has more than 200,000 troops, actually walked less than 30 miles in five days, which led to Li Guo successfully occupying Shiyan near Xiangyang, Jingmen and other strategic places, afterwards, it is said that the imperial court only reprimanded the following, and there was no punishment, is this the court army that the girl said?"
Seeing that Zhu Weiyuan was no longer talking, Shi Lei couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart, in the early and late Ming Dynasty, there were two very extreme performances, that is, in the Ming Dynasty, it was just that the civil officials were in power, and the status of the military generals at that time was very low.
The most important thing is that if after losing the battle, the people who are punished are military attachés, not to mention others, even Qi Jiguang has been troubled by civilian officials, and in the late Ming Dynasty, especially during the Chongzhen period, in addition to the generals who died in battle, after the defeat, those who were killed actually became civilian officials, just like Zuo Liangyu, he has repeatedly defeated generals, but every time he is defeated, he can be promoted afterwards, and the civil official Hou Sui, who promoted him, was actually imprisoned by Chongzhen for this reason, which has to be said to be a miracle in troubled times.
"Since Mr. said that he had the right to collect troops, and he didn't know how to collect troops, should he remove all these generals who kept calling? In this way, it will not be self-destruction of the Great Wall. After listening to Shi Lei's words, Zhu Weiyuan also had to agree with what he meant.
I'm sorry, I got the news of the signing today, I was a little happy, so I went out to have a meal with my friends, I didn't expect to play big, forgiveness, forgiveness.
