Chapter 191: The sun rises in the east, and only I am undefeated
Although there was no river of blood to kill, it could be regarded as a rolling head, and these Ming merchants were suddenly a little disheartened. To tell the truth, the vision of Ming merchants, especially maritime merchants, is still broad in this era, they belong to the most confused group of people in their hearts, they are all full of four books and five classics since childhood, although they have not entered the temple to show revenge, but they also have merit and fame, see the county zun, the mansion, but also arch a hand to say the old father's platform, to overseas, that is really stupid, money, come quickly, countless talents are actually willing not to squeeze the single-plank bridge to take the examination of the people to take the jinshi, the so-called cultivation and reading heirlooms, for the sake of brocade clothes and jade food, gold and silver everywhere overseas, It doesn't matter if you take the raw silk of the Ming Dynasty or tea, porcelain or Western sugar, etc., as long as you go to sea, you will definitely make a lot of money, isn't it the same brocade and jade food!
This is the change in the atmosphere of Shilin in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, thinking that business is not cheap, but anyway, these people from elementary school is also a set of kings, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons, Xiucai makes trouble and hits the government, this is not unusual, there are some of these people who did not understand before, after becoming a businessman, they also know that hoarding is a business practice, otherwise how to make money? For example, in Fusang to sell Ming silk, the price is determined by them, sometimes the price has to rise, in a word, there is no Ming silk sold in the world, and the price will suddenly rise, this is hoarding.
What position does the ass sit, what interests are naturally considered, knowing that the grain merchants are hoarding when they are not available, that is, they will harm the people and damage the interests of the court, Xiucai will take the lead in making trouble and impact the government, to put it bluntly, it is to transfer the contradiction from the businessman to the court, the so-called law does not blame the public, the government wants to open a warehouse to release grain, and the fat businessman loses money to the court, after a long time, everyone is handy with this, and they have to make trouble every year, these people have a mirror in their hearts, and they are very clear, but they themselves are also doing this way, Why should the eldest brother say that the second brother, fifty steps should be laughed at a hundred steps, this matter...... However, Bai Duoxiu led thousands of people to storm the mansion of the abbot, and burned it to the ground, which hit the bottom line in their hearts, where is the emperor? What we have learned from our master since childhood, is it all empty talk?
Civil officials always say that military generals raise their own respect, but why are they not raising the self-respect of the people?
Of course, these famous businessmen still can't think of public opinion, inciting the masses to fight the masses these words, even Dong Qichang, Chen Jiru and other brilliant talents, but also to be influenced by the good officials to understand these truths, the Ming people are not stupid, they subconsciously also have organization, there is public opinion warfare, they do a very good and powerful job, but there is no systematic knowledge inheritance in this area, there is a science that says this, dragon slaying, but that is the emperor's science, where can ordinary Xiucai learn.
However, the so-called external Confucianism and internal law, just like Xiaobai reading and watching sweet potatoes can become a powerful magician, very cool and hilarious, but after a long time, he will eventually evolve into Lao Bai, reading to pick, and the taste is becoming more and more tricky, in the same way, the Ming scholars have been reading for a long time, and they will eventually peel off that layer of skin and vaguely touch something, especially the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, at this time Confucianism is also full of flowers, and it is easier to think deeply.
At this time, after all, it is still a year of Wanli, and there are many scholars who [report to the king when they die in danger], and it is not the end of the Ming Dynasty [kowtowing like pounding garlic] in danger, and they have suffered losses, but they still know how to reflect.
"Everyone, this ......" Zhuang Fan's eyes were still red and swollen, at this time he looked at several leaders of the trading house, and the words reached his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, but he always felt panicked in his heart, especially the first to be beheaded, or a close friend of his, and his heart was really indescribable.
Everyone looked at each other, it has not been a year or two since they arrived in Fusang, and the people in China don't know the means of this Uncle Zheng Guo, but they have a geographical advantage! How can I not know that Uncle Guo is powerful, in just half a year, integrating Fusang, and scolding his own family, how can he not be jealous in the depths of his heart?
"When the time comes, what will the history books say about us?" Although these people are businessmen, they are still scholars in the end, and this matter must be a bully by Uncle Guo, but who are the bullies? What kind of hat will the historians who write will give everyone? Anyway, it can never be Fan Wenzhenggong, who worries about the world first.
A sense of decadence and frustration suddenly spread, and they inevitably thought, mud horses, it turns out that we are not a good thing.
Therefore, Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work for three years, and if you change someone else, you will definitely learn from the pain and become more and more courageous, but Xiucai can't, as soon as Xiucai is beaten, you first think about whether you are wrong or not, but in fact, if you have been reluctant to do something, even if it is wrong, you will make the wrong move.
This tax collection has since become customized, but later after the obedient officials got angry, they set a standard for personal tax and luxury tax, etc., and collected them after crossing the line, but by that time, everyone was already clear that the original tax could be collected in this way, and later some people laughed at it as the tax of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
As soon as the obedient officials collect taxes, the Daimyo of Fusang are happy, and the white palace collects the tax of Ming merchants, so doesn't it mean that we can collect our own merchants?
For a while, one by one was eager to try, after all, it was still Hanafang Zhengxing who couldn't hold it, he had just become the lord of the country, and he was extremely short of money in his hands, so he asked His Highness to borrow troops with a shy face, and the obedient official waved his hand and borrowed him 20,000 soldiers, but before Hanafang Zhengxing led the troops, Fuso's own businessmen had obediently paid taxes, and some of them were bold, and they were sent directly to Sakamoto City, and the obedient officials naturally didn't want to eat meat by themselves, and they always had to leave a mouthful of soup for others, otherwise who would do anything with you.
For a time, the big names of all the families suddenly became fat, and one by one they were even more reluctant to praise the good officials to the sky, and the good officials took advantage of the situation to announce to the world that in the future, the income of the peasants should not exceed four public and six people.
After all, he still issued this order, but, at this time, at that time in Kyushu, he had never wanted to buy people's hearts like now, and he had to be afraid of the reaction of his subordinates, but now that everyone is rich, I want to buy people's hearts quickly, otherwise, the rich lords of the daimyo may not do their own things to buy people's hearts, this kind of thing, how can it be faked? Naturally, it's good to do it yourself.
Fuso peasants are bitter! There are eight princes and two people, and later statistics show that the tax of Fusang farmers is four to eight times that of the Celestial Empire in the same period, and now the obedient official has given the farmers such a big sweet bean bag, how can the farmers of Fusang not be grateful to Dade, the white palace is really a great bodhisattva in the world!
In this way, the monks are proud, at this time Fusang God, Buddha has a tendency to converge, just like the Ming Kingdom Taizu said that the three religions are one, but, after all, in private is to fight, those priests looked, how can this work, immediately to give the white palace the title of the honorific, it is called, Dongzhao power, it is said that all over the country have raised money to establish the Dongzhao Palace.
When the obedient official heard it, he was immediately stunned, isn't this mud horse the god name of the big turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu after his death? No, I don't want the god name used by the big turtle.
As a result, when Yi Neng Jingzhai heard this god name, he immediately patted his ass, "Out of the East, only I am undefeated, Wen becomes martial arts, and the world returns to the heart." Congratulations, congratulations to my lord. ”
After hearing this sycophant, the obedient official immediately cried and laughed,, quiet fasting! You're so talented.
He had to say to Yi Neng Jingzhai: "Jingzhai! The last two sentences are too sensitive, you can't say that, you can't say that! Yi Neng Jingzhai suddenly resigned, he saw that the lord's face was strange, a little happy, and a little indescribable, and couldn't help but say, "Lord, are you not satisfied with this honorific title, the minister can go and let those priests change one." ”
The obedient official thought about it, for Qingxia's sake, he used this, besides, it was not bad to occupy the god name of the big turtle, so he shook his head, thinking that he might be called [I am the only undefeated god in the East] in the future, which inevitably means that he can't help but ...... After a long time, this indescribable meaning finally turned into a soft sigh.
Seeing that his interest was not bad, at this time, Yi Neng Jingzhai said cautiously: "Lord, minister, minister...... The minister has a private matter and wants to implore the lord, but the lord says that there is a lot of opportunity, and the minister is afraid that taking out this little thing will inevitably disturb the lord. ”
Looking at his spitting appearance, the obedient official said in his heart You are really afraid of being disturbed, do you still say it, and smiled at the moment, "Jing Zhai, we are also in love all the way from the Ryukyus, to paraphrase a common saying, that is, it starts from the cold, and it is not easy to say, speak." ”
Yi Neng Jingzhai first prostrated down and wept gratefully, and then said cautiously: "Lord, the minister wants to change his name." At this time, Bao Yiman next to him handed over a cup of tea with sugar, he took a sip of it, and asked, "What do you want to change?" Also, you've been with me for so long, it's time to give you an official, you see, how is Yamashiro Shou? Ino Mountain Castle is quiet, it's good, huh! Let's get another Ukyo doctor! Dr. Ikyo Ino Seishai ......"
Yamashiro Shou in Fusang is from the fifth position, Kyoto belongs to the Yamashiro country, and the right king doctor is from the fourth, in charge of public security matters in Kyoto, these two official positions in Fusang are already unbelievable official positions, can be called Dengxian, Yi Neng Jingzhai suddenly burst into tears, and prostrated deeply, "Lord, the grace is high and the sea is deep, and it is difficult to repay the subordinates who are broken and broken......
He choked up for a while, but finally came to a sentence, "Lord, these ministers don't want it, the ministers just want to change it to a three-word name, Yi Nengjing." ”
Poof, the obedient official immediately sprayed a sip of tea on the side, some of which splashed on Behorie's legs, he couldn't help but hand over the teacup with a smile, and looked at Yi Neng Jingzhai who was prostrate on the ground, "I said Jingzhai!" You, what do you tell me to say about you. "But I thought in my heart, this guy won't be crossing!
Of course, this thought was just a flash, and then I figured it out, this guy wanted to go back to Daming with me, but it was not easy to say it directly, so he used this tactful method.
Originally, the good official did support Yi Neng Jing Zhai, and the Yi Neng family may not be able to become one of the five elders at that time, but Yi Neng Jing Zhai is now broadened, but he is unwilling to be a big name in Fusang, and he has followed the lord for just half a year, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen? Bombarded the Goto Islands, beat the coastal daimyo like a dog, and later took an ironclad ship to crusade against Shikoku, and other figures, nicknamed Tosa, came out, and didn't obediently open the castle to ask me to surrender.
Yes, if he is willing to be a Fusang lord, not to mention that there are many good officials, a million stones will always be given to him, just a mouth, an official like Dr. Youjing will also be given to him, but now he can't look down on a million stones, a million stones are indeed a lot, but if he really becomes a big name of a million stones, basically he will not want to have a big future in his life.
Now His Royal Highness's prestige in Fuso is unmatched for a while, such as Oda Nobunaga and other figures, there should probably be no more in the future, that is to say, this million stones, is the destination of my can also be Saburo, is it possible, can I still make His Highness rebel?
However, a million stones, only 500,000 taels of silver, if you count the retainers' fortunes, it is really hard to say how much it really fell into your hands, besides, he is still young and strong (he is only in his early thirties), will he eat and wait for death in the future?
In his eyes, being a lord in Fusang is basically a life of eating and waiting for death, what else can he do?
Therefore, he didn't want to stay in Fusang, and wanted to return to China with the obedient officials, so he proposed to change it to a three-word name, and the four words sounded like a Fusang person, and three words would be fine.
For a while, Yi Nengjing's heart was hot.
The obedient official groaned, it seems that many people see that I am going back to China.
In this way, he has to wonder, are the priests urging me to return to China when they give me the title of honor? Your Highness, you have become a god...... Of course, he immediately laughed, the Fuso people didn't know about me so quickly, and besides, I can still suppress the situation at the moment.
However, Yi Nengjing refused to stay in Fusang, this caring person is not easy to find for a while!
He had a little headache, one hand was propped up on Bao Yiman's leg, looking at Yi Nengjing Zhai, and he didn't speak, Yi Nengjing was furious by him, and his heart slowly cooled down, His Royal Highness can not use much in his hands now, and he wrenched his fingers carefully, it seems that I am really suitable to do this mountain castle guard and Youjing doctor.
"My lord." Yi Neng Jingzhai prostrated down, "It's a rude subordinate, the lord left his subordinates in Fusang, that is regarded as a henchman to raise his subordinates, and the subordinates still don't know what to ......do," he choked up as he spoke.
"Okay, okay, Jing Zhai, you are also half a literate person, and you are a sword hero, and you can also make sycophants." This is full of intimacy, "Without you at hand, it is inconvenient for me, but now I have a lot of people in battle to kill the enemy, but there are not many people who can take charge of the whole situation!" I'm not thinking about who is going to sit in this position and help me take care of Fuso. ”
"Lord Genga!" Yi Neng said quietly, Lord Genga, although in the past, my Yi Neng Kozaburo Jing Sai's biggest wish was to be a swordsmanship guide in the Tachibana family, now, I'm sorry, the dead Dao friend is not the dead poor Dao, you can sit on the position of this million stones!
He said the benefits of Tachibana Genga sitting in this position, "Lord Genga is the brother-in-law of Princess Chiyo, a member of His Royal Highness, and he followed the lord all the way from Ryukyu, and he is also a wise general in the family, this position belongs to him, Lord Ono Zhenyuki is actually suitable, however, Lord Ono is more prominent in martial arts, and he is inevitably a little weak in the court." ”
When the good official heard it, yes! How did I forget Uncle Tachibana, and immediately decided to summon Tachibana Genga to Beijing.
At the same time, a huge army of 100,000 troops finally dispatched from Owari Province to the Tokugawa family's Mikawa country, at this time Mikawa, Enoe, Suruga, Kai, Minami Shinano are all in the hands of the big turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu, but Ieyasu has just eaten such a large territory, and he has not had time to integrate, expanding from one country to five countries, and the strength actually does not increase but retreats, plus the obedient officials have ironclad ships, Mikawa, Enoe, and Suruga are all coastal seas, The 100,000-strong army was fed with white rice every day by the good officials, and the morale was high, and the road was like a bamboo, and Tokugawa Ieyasu had to retreat into Takato Castle in the mountains of Minami Shinano, leaving only Kai and Minami Shinano, both of which were still the territory of the former Takeda family, and had to surrender to the table.
It is said that the good official wants to kill him, this guy is nicknamed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the ninja can't bear it, and it's even more fearful than Hideyoshi, but the good official didn't have the heart to worry about him for a while, Nobunaga and Hideyoshi died before he took the throne, and he was only fourteen years old, and he wanted to wait for himself to die, he dreamed about it!
The head of the Chozong and my department was transferred to Suruga, and a small part of the Mikawa and Enoe countries plus Owari was given to Tachibana Genga, and the eldest brother of Tachibana was grateful, and he couldn't wait to die for His Highness immediately, and then he said cautiously, "Your Highness, my father only has 200,000 koku in name in Kyushu now, isn't this ......?"
The obedient official smiled, "Kyushu, in the future, it will be the Tachibana family, I must always leave some place for the son of Sister Chiyo!" Tachibana Xuanhe suddenly understood, prostrate on the ground, and received a million stone high, he relied on his in-laws to ascend to the throne, other daimyo will definitely not be so harmonious with him, he must hug the thigh of the obedient official, plus his territory is all coastal, Kyushu can be the backstage, he is not afraid, give him twenty years, and the Yuanjiang Tachibana family will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold.
Soldiers, in fact, are fed with money and blood, this 100,000 army has good officials to throw a lot of money, and all the way to victory, morale is so high that it can unify Fuso, in fact, Sagami's Hojo family is scared to death, if it weren't for Odawara, known as the world's first fortified city, give the retainers a bit of luck, I'm afraid the Hojo family will be willing to surrender, seeing the 100,000 army turn around, the princes of the Eastern Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief, this evil star is finally gone, otherwise, the 100,000 morale army plus the ironclad ship, who can withstand it?
With the Hayai Girls' Team and the elite musketeers gathered a total of 3,000 people, the obedient official took the princess with gold and silver and the princess sent by the daimyo to Kyushu Xindaxing City, and the 100,000 army will pass through the territory of the Maori family, enter Kyushu from the Zhou Defense Nagato, and begin to pacify the entire Kyushu Island, this Kyushu, must be surnamed Zheng, and there can be no variegation at all.
However, the good official has been impatient to take an army of 100,000 to bully the Ryuzoji Temple and the Shimazu family, and now there are 100,000 troops, ironclad ships, and even, there are Ming craftsmen to build a Buddha machine, no matter who it is, they can eat Shimazu and Ryuzoji Temple, so he entrusted the war to the thunder god Lao Taishan, Ono Zhenxing assisted, and a daimyo had to obey the thunder god Lao Taishan.
The last thing he did was to hand over Iwami Yinshan to Cao Laosan, and tell him in a serious tone, this is my sister's head money and my brother-in-law's money on hand, you have to do things carefully, the former Ningbo Guards Wei Cao Laosan is grateful, Uncle Guo is really my Bole! What's more, this is for the mother and the emperor, and he knelt on the ground while crying and said: "Uncle Guo and grandpa rest assured, if the emperor and the mother's money is short, you will take the villain on the dog's head." ”
"I don't want your dog's head, and, Cao Laosan, remember to call yourself a subordinate or subordinate in the future, this villain is not allowed to be used anymore." The obedient official patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and Cao Laosan trembled with excitement, kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up.
Leaving twenty ironclad ships in Fusang, the obedient official Yangbo sea, went to the Ningbo Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.
(To be continued)
