robbed you, killed you, and stood still, this is the style of doing things in a big country, as soon as Shen Shixing said this, everyone praised it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the name of righteousness, things can be done to be justified, how to kill people and set fire to the caravan on the grassland, it is their business to do all kinds of evil, in case of loss, then the court will first confirm your position, you are the victim, the court will stand up for you, if "the people are spontaneous, the help and revenge is also a righteous act."

In this way, the people and scholars in the world are naturally the same enemy, as for what happens on the grassland, thousands of miles apart, who will care.

Since ancient times, great powers have acted like this, no matter how shameless they do, there must always be a high-sounding and righteous reason to give.

In fact, with such a rule, how could the caravans not know how to do it, which is already encouraging them to let go of their hands and feet to kill people and set fires, and how to understand.

At this court meeting, everyone was worried that the people in Guihua City would start a border provocation without permission, but Wang Tong made a generous statement, but in the end, it became a discussion on how to encourage them to toss on the grassland, which made everyone cry and laugh.

This court discussion is a beginning for the Ming Dynasty, which is to say that the Ming Dynasty's policy towards the various ethnic groups in the north has changed from shrinking and seeking peace to expanding outward, attacking and destroying the country, and the entire Ming Dynasty's external defense should also change from shrinking defense to active attack.

This is the general meaning, Wang Tong said this, just to let everyone not have any opinions on the policy of Naturalization City, Da Ming Shoucheng has been careful for so long, and it is normal to be a little unaccustomed to seeing such a flamboyant act, Wang Tong just dispelled their thoughts, but he didn't think about anything too complicated.

However, when the dynasty was dispersed, Wang Tongman walked a few steps, and fell behind and said:

"Your Majesty, now that the Ministry of Answers has been destroyed, Chahar and Korqin are retreating step by step, and the important towns of the Nine Sides are only set up to hold on, and it is a little inappropriate to waste food and salary there.

After Wang Tong said this, Emperor Wanli immediately fell into contemplation, and Zhang Cheng and other eunuchs also changed their faces, obviously moved by Wang Tong's words.

There was no reaction at the time, but after Wang Tong returned to Jinyi Weidu to command the envoy Yamen, the Ministry of the Imperial Horse Supervisor followed closely to visit.

The visit to the Ministry of Yi, the top and bottom of the Jinyi Wei were only slightly surprised, thinking that our Dingbei Hou Dutang really can't go, after the end of the court, there are the big eunuchs in the palace who came to visit and think about the past few people, either the cabinet followers or the followers of the celebrant eunuchs, seeing these powerful people, they must all kowtow to say goodbye.

The purpose of Buyi's visit was very simple, and he asked Wang Tong what he said when he was in the dispersal of the court, and Wang Tong's answer was also very simple, saying that because of the discussion in the court, he had this idea here temporarily.

"You said this sentence today, long live the lord and your father-in-law began to think it was ridiculous, the land of the nine sides, guarding the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, is the root of the Ming Dynasty, what is called inappropriate, but look back and think about it, it is really the current situation as you said, Yulin, Yanjie, Datong, Taiyuan four towns are not necessary to set up, Xuanfu can also cut some soldiers and horses, this does not know how much to save, but the border towns are abolished, the matter is big, although long live the Lord and your father-in-law are very tempted, But I still have to get a rough charter from your side first. ”

The nine-sided town, every year the silver on the Jingshi side in the past is close to four million taels, which is almost equal to the sum of today's Tian Fu, and counting the nine-sided self-raising, the Ming Dynasty will spend nearly 10 million taels on them every year, which is a heavy financial burden in the afternoon.

Even if the Ming Dynasty does not provide relief to the victims in the interior and does not build water conservancy, it must give priority to ensuring the supply of the nine sides.

But since Wang Tong wiped out the Naturalization Department and captured the Naturalization City, the Ming Dynasty suddenly found that the so-called transformation of the northern frontier was actually such a paper tiger, and because the Naturalization Department was destroyed, the Naturalization City broke into the hinterland of the north, and the five border towns set up in order to guard against the grassland tribes in this direction could be abolished, which could save how much silver every year, making the Ming Dynasty's finances much easier.

In the past, who had such an idea, that is, the Great Wall of self-destruction, but today Wang Tongyi said that all the forces on the grassland are constantly being weakened and suppressed, and gradually they will be eliminated, and from the destruction of the Ministry of Answers to the plundering of the tribes on the grassland for more than a year, it has nothing to do with these border towns, and it is completely done by relying on group training and village bravery.

Daming spends so much money on the border army every year, but in the end, it is relying on a cadre of people who did not spend the court's money to continue to win, with this calculation, what is the use of your border army, even if the border town soldiers and horses have no merit and hard work, but for so many years they can only defend and can not open up, which also shows that they are useless, or that this setting itself has a problem and needs to be changed. The people in the palace, from the Wanli Emperor to the fathers-in-law of the various inner court yamen, all have an understanding of Wang Tong, or a superstition, that is, great power.

Since Wang Tong can bring up this matter, then he must have a solution to this matter, those who can work hard, since this is a big country, and even everyone wants to do it, they have to send someone to ask.

Regarding Zou Yi's question, Wang Tong could only respond with a wry smile:

"I just made a temporary decision, so I said that to Long Live Lord."

The two sides looked at each other and smiled, and after laughing, Wang Tong spoke:

"Since Your Majesty and your father-in-law are interested in this, Wang Mou's side will also visit one or two, there must be a detailed figure out, so that it can be handed over to the palace, and the father-in-law of the ministry must be asked to go back to restore his life, saying that this matter is urgent, and it will take at least half a year to get a charter out, after all, the nine sides span thousands of miles. ，，

Since Wang Tong said this, Buyi had nothing to say, just chatted a few words, and then retired with a smile.

………………

Until the second half of November, Wang Tong's family members have all returned to Beijing, and there is no other news from the Naturalization City, which is similar to Wang Tong's expectations, the Chahar Department that has suffered a loss may not dare to report and retaliate, if they really mobilize each other, the Chahar Department will not be able to take advantage of it at all, and will even be eaten by most of the other departments.

On November 25, the heavy snow in Jingshi has already fallen to the next day, and if the year is not good, the officials of Jingshi and neighboring prefectures and counties will be busy for two days after such heavy snowfall, because there will definitely be people who will die of freezing and starvation because of this heavy snow, and even if they do not make efforts to provide relief, it is necessary to carry the corpses that died of freezing and starvation.

However, there is no problem this year, the harvest is very good, the food supply here in Beijing is sufficient, and there are many fewer idlers in Beijing than in previous years.

It is precisely because there is nothing to do, so all the officials and scholars, and those who like to have fun, are all congratulating and saying "Ruixue Zhaofeng Nian," flattering and asking for good luck, so that Emperor Wanli is happy and happy.

Emperor Wanli is also good, November 25 did not go to court at all, as for what to do, people outside the palace also know that Emperor Wanli is enjoying the snow in Xiyuan.

It is also strange to say that when the Empress Dowager Cisheng Li wanted to talk about Concubine Wang Gong's ascension to the throne, Emperor Wanli avoided Concubine Wang Gong and didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but without the intervention of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, Emperor Wanli had a better attitude towards this concubine who gave birth to a child for himself.

This time I went to Xiyuan, not only Concubine Zheng Guifei, but also Concubine Li De, who also called Concubine Wang Gong, and all the princes and princesses went with them, which can be regarded as family fun.

Buyi sent someone to Wang Tong to send a message, saying that Emperor Wanli had sent Zhao Jinliang to the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion to send equipment such as cotton clothes and stoves to Empress Dowager Li, and greeted him.

Although the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion is tightly blocked, the supply is not less than before, and naturally there will be no shortage of things such as cotton clothes and stoves, after all, it is a miscellaneous mother and son, and Emperor Wanli also showed his own attitude, proving that he was not so desperate.

Emperor Wanli enjoyed the joy of family here, and the officials and ministers of the Beijing division were also happy to be idle, and those who had errands ordered a mao in the yamen, and went back early, either at home, or gathered with three or five friends, enjoying the snow and drinking, and the hot pot that Wang Tong carried forward was also a joy in life.

Others are idle, Wang Tong is also leisurely here, this year has been full of ups and downs, and now the whole family is together, and there is no important business, which is also rare for him.

Wang Tong also went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen for an hour and returned home, the wives and concubines got together, chatting and laughing, and at noon they also set up a banquet to enjoy the snow and drink the feast.

Xiangcheng Bofu hunting outside the city, harvest quite a lot, specially sent someone to send a few wild and a deer, at noon from the revitalization of the building to the cook cleaned up, half of the wild excitement diced, and pickled melon with the stir-fry, quite flavorful, a good dish with wine, the deer is also half roasted, most of the wild and deer are sliced, and there are from Tianjin to send the big fish like slices, are under the hot pot shabu, this way of eating is to be at ease, and the whole family gathers around the pot, everyone is happy.

It is rare to have such a relaxed atmosphere in the Wang family, the ladies are all laughing and laughing, and Wang Tong has a smile on his face, which is also his rare rest and relaxation.

After using the wine and food, in the afternoon, the family was in the living room, there were pastries carefully made by the chef, and several people who knew how to play the piano and sing there, which was even more enjoyable.

"Master, Lord Sun Shoulian of Liaozhen asks to see you."

It was the time when he was happy, but someone reported it, which was very damaging to the atmosphere, but Wang Tong also wondered, this is close to the New Year, Sun Shoulian is not in Liao Town, what is he doing in Beijing?
