Chapter 698: Ten Years Fly
The good times are long and wasted, and the style of the prime of life has been lost.
Time flies, pouring out of your fingers like mercury. Ten years of cold and summer, the willows have become green and yellow, and the cycle has been repeated.
It's the summer of the fourteenth year of Zhengde. In the past ten years, the empire of the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and everything has quietly changed in moisturizing things.
Tianjin Mansion in Qin Kan under the support of the power of the imperial court in the past ten years has been the imperial court decree on the tilt care, and Tianjin Donggang built a variety of merchant warships, ten years countless, these ships to and fro around the Ming Dynasty, Qin Kan gathered Zhu Houzhao and the two capitals of the strength of the nobles, all kinds of forces for the escort of shipping, shipping as early as the year of the Japanese garrison began to make profits, when the snowflake silver box by box into Zhu Houzhao's inner treasury and the treasury of the nobles in Beijing, this force is also more and more united.
Everyone is a very noble person, since childhood, the knowledge can not be too shallow, so each family generously took out the silver, the second maritime expansion began, this time to add more power, Tianjin East Port is also busier.
In one year, Donggang built another 2,000 materials and 40 sea-going ships, all of which were launched, some of which were incorporated into the Tianjin Navy Division with combat ships, and some were used as merchant ships to load goods to go to sea, not only Japan, but also neighboring countries such as Korea, Ryukyu, Siam, Sumatra, Java and other neighboring countries, all of which were within the scope of merchant trade.
A piece of cake was only so big, and the emperor and nobles snatched it, and the civil officials naturally had a harder time.
In February of the sixth year of Zhengde, the civil officials of the Jingshi finally launched the second court dispute against Qin Kan and Haihai in the court, and this time Qin Kan had no surprise or danger in the crisis. There is not even a chance to make a move at all.
Zhu Houzhao and Liangjing Xungui have tasted the sweetness of large-scale shipping, which is many times higher than the benefits obtained by fighting alone in the past, and some people dare to stretch out their hands to their interests, Zhu Houzhao can't bear it.
Under the joint efforts of Zhu Houzhao and Jingzhong Xungui, the court dispute was quickly quelled, including the Beijing division and the local government, a total of more than 100 civil officials were arrested and taken to prison, and more than 20 civil officials were escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market to be beheaded, blood was splashed, and the head fell to the ground. The Manchu civil and military finally realized. Shipping has been an untouchable taboo for the Ming Dynasty, and whoever dares to oppose it will inevitably get a steel knife and a neck.
The emperor moved his true character, and the ministers who were full of justice and morality immediately extinguished the fire. They love fame. But I love life more.
In this way, the ministers reluctantly acquiesced to the matter of shipbuilding and trade with various countries. So I could only watch the magnates make a lot of money, Zhu Houzhao's inner library was expanding day by day, and the confidence during the court meeting was invisibly much harder. When encountering political affairs that could not be discussed by the court, Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and "I will pay the money", his expression and tone were more violent than that of the nouveau riche, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and in the past ten years, the arrogance of the ministers of the foreign court has gradually declined a lot.
The so-called thousand-mile embankment collapses in the anthill, and if anything opens a small gap, the whole line will collapse in front of you.
In October of the eighth year of Zhengde, the Tianjin Navy intercepted a civilian fleet in the Korean seas, detaining ten ships of cargo and a Ningbo merchant named Sheng Hong.
Under Qin Kan's strong persuasion, Zhu Houzhao finally understood the difference between enriching himself and enriching the people, and understood the truth that the people are rich and the country is strong, so the businessman named Sheng Hong was acquitted after squatting in the edict for half a month, and the court did not reward or punish him.
No reward or punishment undoubtedly also represents an attitude of the imperial court, this attitude makes the world's merchants ecstatic, after only two months, a fleet of merchants full of goods set sail to sea, and the Tianjin Navy Division also got the personal military order of the Jingshi Ning Guogong, there must be no slightest embarrassment to detain the behavior of the merchants, so the situation of coastal merchants is finally under the painstaking management layout of Qin Kan over the years, quietly blossoming and bearing fruit.
At this moment, the ban on opening the sea has become an inescapable topic, and if the ban on the sea is not opened, the article about the ban on the sea in the "Emperor Ming Zuxun" will become a joke.
In June of the ninth year of Zhengde, Qin Kan, the Duke of Ningguo, who had not asked about political affairs for a long time, handed over a note at the court meeting, called "The time is appropriate, please open the sea and ban the sparse", the song set off a stormy wave, Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan and the honorable nobles in Beijing suddenly launched a joint effort, cutting off the heads of four civil officials who were desperately opposed, and the policy of blocking the sea of the Ming Dynasty for more than 140 years was finally like a crumbling and dangerous house, gently pushed, and collapsed like decay.
…………
Many contradictions become more and more acute in the process of accumulation, and after the contradictions erupt, there is only an endless choice. The so-called history is a blood book made of human lives, Qin Kan is not exempt from vulgarity, in order to promote this increasingly heavy country, for the vow he once made, he doesn't mind killing people, and even doesn't mind raising the butcher's knife with his own hands to help them rank in the immortal class.
Not only is the sea ban banned, but Japan is not at peace.
After Sun Ying, the chief soldier of the Shenji Battalion, led 500 firearms soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to land in Japan, the whole country of Japan was panicked, and the great names of the major forces were ready to move, and they were surrounded by wolves.
It's a pity that Sun Ying really doesn't look like a good person, and I don't know who has influenced him, stationed in the army for less than half a year, his unwilling heart began to stir, so he repeatedly entered the palace to meet Emperor Hou Kashiwahara, when the two talked loudly, Sun Ying was high-spirited, and accidentally provoked a few words of right and wrong, and Emperor Kashiwahara handed over a letter of state to invite the Ming Court to garrison naturally not so simple as inviting the Heavenly Empire to come to his house for dinner, the two had their own ambitions, so they hit it off.
In the fifth year of Zhengde, that is, in the seventh year of Japan's Wenzheng, Emperor Kashiwahara of Japan suddenly issued a decree, saying that the Yamato country, that is, the daimyo Miyoshi Changkei, who was in charge of the military and political affairs of Kyoto, committed a crime and ordered a conquest, and the will had just left the palace, Sun Ying led 300 soldiers with sufficient ammunition from the Shenji Battalion to the Miyoshi Changqing Mansion located only one street away from the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Japan, and launched an attack on the Miyoshi family with lightning speed. Emperor Kashiwahara of Japan finally completely mastered the military and political power in Kyoto, and from then on he had a powerful territory that truly belonged to him, and he was no longer a puppet emperor without power and powerless.
This move shocked Japan, but the emperor was originally the nominal emperor of Japan, and from the bright side, there was nothing wrong with the emperor killing the minister, and the daimyo inquired in many ways, and after hearing about the power of the Ming court's firearms, they did not dare to act rashly.
Taking advantage of the aftermath of this battle, Emperor Hou Kashiwahara and Sun Ying did not stop, and the big and small daimyo near Kyoto were wiped out, and the radius of Kyoto, Japan finally became the power range of Emperor Kashiwahara, and since then, Emperor Hou Kashiwahara, Ouchi, and Hosokawa have been in the four islands and nine continents, and the three-legged momentum has been achieved.
The ambitious Emperor Go-Kashiwahara saw that it was so easy to claim hegemony, and he couldn't help but become more and more ambitious, telling himself again and again that the Japanese emperor with real power was worthy of it, so he urged Sun Ying again and again to continue to conquer the daimyo, intending to complete the unification of Japan with the troops of the Ming court, but Sun Ying refused mercilessly, and the emperor was jealous but could only endure it.
In the second year, the long-accumulated contradictions finally broke out, and Emperor Go-Kashiwahara secretly contacted the daimyo outside Kyoto to launch a sneak attack on the garrison of the Ming Court Shenji Battalion stationed outside the Imperial Palace, but broke into the encirclement trap laid by Sun Ying, who had been prepared for a long time, and the Japanese lost a total of more than 1,000 samurai in this battle, and the family wealth that Emperor Go-Kashiwahara had accumulated in the past two years was once again wiped out.
After completing the ambush that night, Sun Ying led the troops into the palace in armor, Emperor Hou Kashiwahara was so frightened that he was not possessed, kneeling and crying to ask for forgiveness from the heavenly soldiers, but Sun Ying did not blame, only invited the emperor to enter the palace to rest, and took over the power of the palace, this power has not been returned to the Japanese Hou clan for five hundred years, and Sun Ying also told Emperor Hou Kashiwahara very seriously, please let him not disappoint the expectations of the Celestial Empire, and complete the reunification of Japan as soon as possible.
Of course, with Sun Ying, a person with hidden evil intentions, Japan could not be calm, and it was unable to complete domestic unification for hundreds of years, civil strife was frequent, and the contradictions between domestic daimyo became more and more acute and irreconcilable.
********************************************************************
In the fourteenth year of Zhengde, the twilight rain of the Qingming Dynasty poured on the official road outside the capital city, and the official road was densely covered with ministers wearing official robes, and Qin Kan, the Duke of Ningguo, who was wearing a big red python robe, was also among them.
Ten years have passed, and now Qin Kan, who is in his early thirties, is more stable and introverted, and his image has also changed.
The attitude of the surrounding ministers has also changed a lot compared with ten years ago, no matter where Qin Kan stood ten years ago, there were few courtiers within a radius of one zhang around him, which can be described as "thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear", Qin Kan's single posture at that time can be seen. However, ten years later, there are many ministers standing beside Qin Kan, they all talk and laugh loudly with Qin Kan, and there are flatterers or high-ranking people, but their attitude towards Qin Kan is extremely enthusiastic, and those ministers who are dissatisfied with Qin Kan's personality now dare not openly show him a face, at most, while he is not paying attention, he quickly shakes off a sneer like a thief, and then quickly puts it away.
After ten years of tempering, the edge was finally revealed, and Qin Kan inevitably became a generation of powerful ministers.
…………
The ministers waited outside the official road for more than an hour, and when it was dark, several horses galloped at the end of the official road, and the knights wore helmets and armor, and they were majestic, and loudly informed the courtiers of the royal drive, and the courtiers were all solemn.
After waiting for another half an hour, a mighty and heroic division appeared in the eyes of everyone, and after the forward cavalry escort walked by, a golden chariot with eight horses and eight horses slowly walked in front of the ministers.
Qin Kan, the Duke of Ningguo, took the lead, and took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to bow down to the imperial court, and everyone said: "Ministers, welcome Your Majesty's northern expedition to Tatar, and return triumphantly." ”
