Chapter 259: Bloody Indoctrination
The piece handed over by Zhao Gao, who had the momentum of a great victory, was successfully sent to the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In addition to a large number of flowery rhetoric and the Qingzi that Emperor Jiajing liked, the only request put forward by Zhao Gao was to form a Ming fleet to pursue the Japanese Kou, which caused great controversy in the imperial court.
It is a rule set by the ancestors that Katamu is not allowed to go to the sea, and everything that involves the proposal of the ancestors to make a law will be subject to a large number of objections, including the joint opposition of Guanglu Siqing, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and even directly accuses Zhao Gao of being rebellious and harboring evil intentions, and the words have directly accused Zhao Gao of being a traitor, and the words are quite fierce, but several ministers in the cabinet have rarely remained silent at the same time.
The reason is very simple, Emperor Jiajing left Zhao Gao's recital in the middle, and several ministers knew that the emperor was tempted.
There's no way not to be tempted. Jiajing, the master, the biggest hobby in his life is money, you can help him save money is a loyal minister, if you use the money in the inner treasury, it is simply his life, and Zhao Gao in the chapter, known as the formation of the Ming fleet, the annual private payment of silver in the inner treasury can reach one million taels!
The inner treasury is the emperor's own wallet, one million taels is equal to a year's tax in the rich land of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, in other words, it is equivalent to Zhao Gao's annual handover of a super-large amount of red envelopes to the emperor's private person, which is beyond imagination.
This made the greedy Emperor Jiajing unable to make up his mind to refuse at all, and the ministers of the cabinet had no way to refuse. The emperor has this big wallet, so it is also a great buffer for the pressure on the household finances.
What's more, Zhao Gao only proposed to ask for the treasure ship drawings of the three treasure eunuchs and some shipbuilders, and did not mention the cost of preparing for the construction of the fleet, which was almost zero investment for the imperial court.
Even if Zhao Gao's words are exaggerated, he can only save one-tenth of it a year, and there are 100,000 taels, which is still a very considerable income. As for the grandstanding of the public with empty words, with Zhao Gao's status and merits today, there is no need to take such a risk, so the cabinet, which has seen the situation clearly, decided to continue to remain silent.
Of course, the main reason for this is that the emperor is tempted, after driving Yang Tinghe out of the imperial court, the young Jiajing Emperor's authority is growing, and he is already a true dragon son who cannot touch the scales.
In Zhao Gao's recital to Emperor Jiajing, there is actually a secret letter that the rest of the ministers can't see. It promised two things, one is to exterminate the overseas traitors who pretended to be the widows of the first emperor, and the other is to help the emperor search for the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou overseas, and seek immortal medicine for the emperor.
Emperor Jiajing had a good life, superstitious Fangshi, good immortality, and in the later period, he was a full-time cultivator, and his final death may not be unrelated to long-term use of pills. It's just that this kind of absurd preference is basically something that no minister would approve of. Now this point put forward by Zhao Gao can be said to scratch the deepest itch in the emperor's heart, not to mention that Zhao Gao is still a man of action, promising that he will definitely gain something within three years, and this alone is enough for Emperor Jiajing to distinguish him from other scholars and look at him differently.
Don't spend money, you can make money, you can get rid of rebellion, you can find immortal medicine, this kind of zero-cost and big-benefit business, not to mention a bad ancestral law, even if it is ten or a hundred, he will think carefully about whether it will have an impact on his rule before making a decision.
Half a month later, with the strong support of the emperor and the collective silence of the cabinet members, Zhao Gao obtained the power to deal with coastal affairs with "camera decisions".
The most direct manifestation of this is that the legend has dropped a little.
This can also be seen as the price he paid for it.
After all, bribing the emperor privately, seeking immortals and asking for medicine, such things can be regarded as traitors, if it is not escorted by a special title of "loyal man", I believe that the voice of opposition is far more than the point in front of me.
In case he encounters a few officials who play like Hai Rui and commit suicide if they don't comply, the emperor considers his reputation in later generations, and it is really difficult to do this kind of thing.
In the Ming Dynasty, there are not a few perverted beings who specialize in scolding the emperor and waiting for the emperor to hit the board, and it is best to cut off the head directly and then leave a name in history!
It's no wonder that the Ark Space says that special titles are extremely rare, and they are rewards that can be tied with S-class bloodlines, and the value he embodies in team battles is by no means comparable to a piece of golden equipment or a historical plot skill.
This is also a reasonable result. In Yue Fei's epic task, Zhao Gao was the one who contributed the most, and according to the rules of space rewards, his reward should also be the largest, but he didn't know it at the time.
At this point, it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
On November 29, the seventh year of Jiajing, Wang Yangming died of illness in the boat of Qinglong Port, Dageng County, Anfu, Nanjiang. When he was dying, his disciple asked him what his last words were, and he said, "This heart is bright, and what can I say!" ”
Zhao Gao received a note from Wang Yangming's disciple at the beginning of the eighth year of Jiajing, with only the words "good for yourself", and it seemed that all his actions could not be concealed from this elder who had become a saint. It's just that so far, although what Zhao Gao has done is not the right way, it is also a real plan for the Ming Dynasty, so Wang Yangming did not directly expose him, but only gave him a warning on his deathbed.
A warning from an epic historical figure!
Zhao Gao could only smile bitterly, if it wasn't for the so-called "education" task of Wang Yangming, he wouldn't have to arrange it like this at all.
The original plan was just that he, Mai Linglong, and Lao Ba cooperated with each other from the Japanese mainland, the sea, and the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time cleared out the Japanese invaders. I believe that even if there is no more than 90 percent completion, 780 percent is no problem at all. This team task was crucial to the old guy's team, so in the end it was a robust plan, but now, the original set had to be temporarily scrapped and replaced with a more radical plan.
The so-called indoctrination itself is a kind of behavior that is difficult to define, what kind of results can be considered successful in indoctrination? I am afraid that there is no one answer that can be fully confirmed by the world.
Since this is the case, then Zhao Gao does not mind concretizing this process, and the plan of operation is to take ideological and political classes.
It is mandatory to give everyone ideological and political lessons, and in the land occupied by the Ming fleet, everyone must participate in the study of "heart science". Even if you don't know how to read, you must memorize a few articles in "Mind Learning" completely!
After such a practice, is it considered a success of "education"?
Perhaps this point is too difficult to implement little by little in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so simply open your eyes and only need to complete the conquest, in Japan, Ryukyu, Yizhou, Luzon, as long as there are people, you can use it for "education".
Wang Yangming arranged an unlimited task, then Zhao Gao dared to do it without an upper limit: not to educate a person, nor to educate a county or a county, these foreseeable results will not be beyond Wang Yangming's expectations, and the reward given in the end is nothing more than the corners of the mind, and it will never be the result that Zhao Gao is satisfied with, so Zhao Gao's plan is a person from one country, or even a person from several countries, even if Wang Yangming is unwilling to admit it, under the rules of the ark space, he has to give the corresponding reward!
As for how to accomplish such an indoctrination, Zhao Gao had no choice but to raise the bloody butcher's knife to reason with the local natives.
