713 [Eunuch's Ambition]
The emperor is the emperor, and the first assistant is the first assistant.
Zhao Han set the tone for the rewards of the front-line soldiers, but Pang Chunlai could make additions on this basis.
Lao Pang has always behaved very Buddhist, but he is extremely concerned about things related to Tartar.
Wang Tingchen's cavalry division once inflicted heavy losses on the elite Tartar cavalry, and now it has completely annihilated the elite Tartar infantry. Pang Chunlai felt that even if he violated military regulations,
It's too hard to only give honorary titles.
Therefore, he maximized the power of the first assistant and asked the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office to give special rewards. The silver and land were all rewarded, and even the household department was given a set of residences in Nanjing City. Then he pulled down his old face, made a matchmaker for the son of Wang Tingchen, and married the daughter of the right attendant of the Criminal Department.
In vain, Wang Tingchen's approach made him very happy, and Pang Chunlai made it clear that he wanted to cover this general.
These small actions naturally can't be hidden from the emperor, Zhao Han smiled at this: "Master Pang has worked hard and made great achievements, and he rewarded the military ministers before leaving Beijing, so let him be the master once." “
The celebration was set in April, and I didn't choose any auspicious days of the zodiac, but directly chose Zhao Han's birthday.
Good news from the Northeast, good news from Nanyang, all countries come to the dynasty, long birthday Christmas, heroes retire... These are all together, there is a lot of reason to do a big deal, so that before the time comes, the city of Nanjing began to put up lights.
Merchants and houses are decorated with lanterns, and silver is also from the imperial court, which is a practice that has continued in the Ming Dynasty and does not disturb the people.
Suburban area, school field.
Wu Liangfu, who was slashing Da Yuer and Shunzhi, was practicing etiquette with everyone at this time. He was allowed to participate in the celebration, and although he was only standing on the outermost part, he was already considered to have infinite glory.
The Datong court did not raise eunuchs, and Wu Liangfu did make great contributions, so he was thrown to the Ministry of Industry to be a nine-grade sesame official.
"From. Bye-bye! ”
The officials of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, and Wu Liangfu hurriedly followed.
There were also many envoys from Fanbang, as well as a small number of gentry and merchants who were allowed to participate in the celebration. No matter what the origin, honestly go to the school every day,
First, you will be familiar with all kinds of etiquette.
"Alright, take a break."
When everyone practiced and had a sore back, the officials of the Ministry of Rites finally gave grace, and all the "members" sat directly on the ground.
Wu Liangfu ran to the edge of the school field and took out a copy of "Datong Dictionary". This is what he bought with a reward of silver, a set of dictionaries is full of six copies, and Wu Liangfu plans to read the words one by one.
This guy was born in the door, and the family invited someone to open it, but unfortunately he didn't have time to read the guard. After being Shunzhi's companion, he has been following the Manchurian and Mongolian characters and has never touched Chinese characters again.
"Sir, how do you pronounce this word?"
Chai Shaoliang was pouring water into his stomach when he suddenly heard someone asking. He turned his head to look, but it was the "Tartar eunuch", and he immediately laughed:
"You want to read too?"
Wu Liangfu hurriedly said: "It's good to teach adults to know, the little one is also behind the former general, and the family is enlightened and recognizes a few words when he is young." The Tartars are coming,
The little family was ruined, and he was taken as a slave and sent to the Tartar womb with another sword. The little one doesn't want to be a eunuch, and now the saint is gracious and gives a small nine-grade official to do, and the small one can only work hard and diligently to do a good job as an official, and to repay His Majesty's great kindness. “
Chai Shaoliang's words surprised him, he was the official in charge of this etiquette training, and among all the members, the one he looked down on the most was this Tartar eunuch.
But Wu Liangfu's diligent and good attitude changed Chai Shaoliang's impression of him, and said: "If you want to be literate, you can first use the method of pinyin, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort." Open the front of the dictionary, I will teach you a few pinyin letters today. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Wu Liangfu was grateful.
This guy is a ruthless man, as can be seen from the fact that he killed Da Yu'er and Shunzhi. Moreover, he is still an ambitious and diligent ruthless man, and the nine-rank official rewarded by the imperial court made him see the hope of soaring.
First read and write, and then from various courses, strive to integrate into the civil service group, and conscientiously complete the work tasks. Someday, be able to climb up.
Wu Liangfu's ideal in life is to adopt a son and continue the incense of the Wu family. It's better to marry another wife, it doesn't matter how ugly he looks, the main thing is to be virtuous and run the family, which can make him look like a normal man. He wanted to be the "Zheng He" of the new dynasty of Datong, and led the fleet to sail all over the world, and since then he has left his name in history in vain.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, he had never heard of the name of "Zheng He".
But there are too many envoys from Fanbang who practice etiquette together, and they talk about Nanyang affairs all day long, and they have to mention the Three Treasure Eunuchs from time to time. are also eunuchs,
The Three Treasure Eunuchs are so powerful, why can't they themselves? Zheng He soon became Wu Liangfu's idol.
"Ahh
Wu Liangfu shook his head while holding the dictionary, looking very different in the school field.
Jiangning is very rich and Jinyi, but he is chatting with the envoy. He is engaged in inland river transportation business, and also sells jewelry and jade, and has to donate money to the school every year, and also donates money for disaster relief every natural disaster, and the name of "righteous businessman" has long spread throughout Jinling, so he is fortunate to be invited to participate in this celebration.
"Is there any jade produced in Siam?" Jin Yi asked.
Jin Yi speaks standard Nanjing, but the Siamese prince can only speak Cantonese, and the two have to rely on Yang Dongkui's translation to communicate.
Nalai replied: "Our country is rich in all kinds of gemstones. “
"Really?" Jin Yi was immediately overjoyed, "I am in the jewelry business, can the prince write a letter, I can take it to Siam to meet the gem merchant." If the business can be done, there will be a lot of thanks! “
Nalai smiled: "Good, good. “
China has loved jade since ancient times, but gemstones are equally valuable. For example, the tomb of King Liangzhuang in the Ming Dynasty unearthed a golden hat inlaid with ten gemstones, the top of which is a 200-carat sapphire.
The goods sold to China by Siam are mainly ivory, rhino horn, and spices, and the gemstone business is still a blue ocean.
If he can make friends with the Siamese prince, Jin Yi can get a stable and cheap supply of gemstones.
These businessmen are really pervasive, and through the pores of etiquette, they are still busy discussing business with Nanyang envoys.
Not only Jin Yi, but other wealthy businessmen are also talking, and someone has already approached the envoy of Aceh. Aceh offered low-priced pepper, and the inland merchant was in charge of marketing, and then contacted a Fujian-Guangdong merchant to transport the goods.
Aceh is one of the main pepper producing areas, and in the past 20 years, Aceh's pepper supply has been monopolized by the Netherlands. Kuang Hong's operation in Nanyang broke this monopoly, how could Chinese businessmen not be excited? The nimble mind is already preparing to go to sea.
The Forbidden City, the Palace of Diligent Government.
Zhao Han smiled: "Those rich businessmen, are they talking about business with the envoys of Fanbang? “
Chai Shaoliang replied: "That's true. It was originally a course for learning etiquette, but it was made by rich businessmen to smell of copper. ”
"That's fine," Zhao Han nodded in approval, "The stronger the connection between Shang Jia and the Nanyang countries, the more secure the imperial court's control over Nanyang." When the domestic market is saturated, the maritime merchants will set their sights on the west, and they will push the imperial court to open up westward. “
Chai Shaoliang said: "Wu Liangfu, who killed the puppet Qing Empress Dowager and the emperor, although he is a eunuch, he is also diligent and good, and he does not forget to read and write during the school break. The minister chatted with him a few times, and he wanted to be Zheng He of the Datong court. “
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Han couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and said: "It's good to have such ambitions, don't stay in Nanjing, let him follow Kuang Hong to Nanyang as an official." “
"Your Majesty." Chai Shaoliang didn't know how to answer, so he slapped a sycophant.
Zhao Han waved his hand: "Go ahead, continue to teach them etiquette." “
Chai Shaoliang bowed and retreated, and Zhao Han continued to look through the recital, a news from Japan quickly caught his attention.
The Japanese shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, died of illness, more than half a year earlier than in history.
Tokugawa Ietsuna, who was only ten years old, succeeded him as shogun, and immediately after the news broke, a ronin rebellion broke out in Edo.
Ronin, in the Muromachi period, specifically refers to wanderers who have lost their territory and position.
Prison man, specifically refers to the samurai who left the lord's house and lost his fortune.
This rebellion in Edo led to the direct equation of ronin and prison people.
After the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, the number of ronin increased dramatically due to the large number of feudal domains. In addition, there are no more wars, and there are too many samurai in each family, and more and more prisoners have stopped paying their salaries.
Due to the spread of the Confucian culture of loyalty to the monarch, if a samurai voluntarily left the lord's house, the lord's family would write letters to other lords, which was a kind of document called "Fenggongfu". The lords issued "public servants" to each other, and gradually formed an unspoken rule, so that even those who were forced to leave the lord's house could not find new jobs elsewhere.
The combination of various factors has led to a terrible result, and the number of ronins in Japan has exceeded 50,000 at this time.
The shogunate saw these people as a destabilizing factor, and either expelled them outright from the castle, or restricted them to which streets they could live in, and forbade them to go out again, locking up the ronin's upward path.
As soon as Tokugawa Iemitsu died, the ronin of Edo rebelled.
There were no rebel ronin, and many chose to change careers and go straight from samurai to peasants.
There are also some who go to sea to serve as mercenaries, and the more famous one is Yamada Nagamasa. This merchant had more than 1,000 ronin warriors, all of whom used firearms, and helped Siam resist the Burmese army, successfully held the capital of Siam, and was appointed by the king as the equivalent of Kyo Yin of Ayutthaya.
Yamada Nagamasa once controlled Siam's foreign trade, and then died an unknown death. After his death, the king of Siam, the father of the prince of Nalai,
Immediately expel all Japanese. These Japanese wandered to Luzon and became Spanish mercenaries, and a few years earlier they had fought against the Datong Army.
During the Edo Ronin Rebellion, the shogunate began to expel the ronin en masse.
The prefectural orders of the two prefectures of Ryukyu and Hojo reported that two or three thousand ronins came one after another, running on a simple hill to take refuge, and asked if the imperial court agreed to accept these guys.
Zhao Han thought about it carefully and replied: "The two counties of Ryukyu and Abbot are each allowed to accept 500 ronin, and divide the fields for these ronins to settle down. When settling down, you must change your name to Chinese, and after three years, you will be deported if you still don't know Chinese. The remaining ronin, settled in Taiwan, Luzon, Malacca and other places, will all change their Chinese names, and they will be expelled if they don't speak Chinese within the time limit! ”
These are all samurai, able to fight, educated, and after sinicizing them, they can be directly recruited to fight at critical moments.
