295 Murder with a Knife (2-in-1)
The teacher knew that the righteousness chose to be alone, and Shen Yichen didn't know what else to say, so he could only bow silently, and then lead his cronies to exit the camp.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many drawbacks and rigid systems, but the reason why it can stand tall and rise to prominence lies in the fact that there are still a group of officials such as Yu Qian, Lin Zhen, and Yang Pu, who have become the mainstay of the building!
The world is not black and white, and when you choose to stand in the dark, you will see injustice and erosion everywhere.
On the contrary, if you are willing to be a ray of light in the darkness, there may be countless people who will find a way forward and be peaceful and happy!
There have been many times when Shen Yichen had a mentality that he was forced to study the decaying Confucian classics for the sake of the imperial examination. But now he is more and more able to understand the ideas and thoughts of the sages about the family and the country and the world.
It is not the philosophical righteousness of the hundred schools of thought that is wrong, but the hearts of those who are paranoid and understanding!
After exiting his camp, Shen Yichen did not leave the camp of the rebels directly, and found Ye Zongliu, he still had the back hand of the dangerous moves, and he had to deploy in advance.
"Leader Ye, how many people are there in the most powerful group of the Japanese slaves you are currently cooperating with?"
Faced with Shen Yichen's sudden inquiry about the Japanese slaves, Ye Zongliu felt a little unclear.
Now that the matter of Zhao'an is so serious, does Admiral Shen still have the mood to care about the Japanese slaves who are thousands of miles away?
However, the habit of trust that he had cultivated for a long time made him still reply truthfully: "We originally engaged in some small smuggling trade with some wandering warriors of the Wa Kingdom, known as the Southern Dynasty. Later, the Wa Kingdom called the shogunate's encirclement and arrest, so they turned to cooperate with their Ashikaga shogun. ”
"But in recent years, the Ashikaga shogunate of the Wa Kingdom seems to have changed, and the Wako called it the Cargill Rebellion. Immediately after that, there were some local daimyō who contacted us to buy goods, and the names were messy and I didn't remember. ”
"Anyway, the local temple in the Wa Kingdom is small and the demon is strong, and the water is shallow, and there are many kings, so we generally rely on two Japanese slave lackeys to communicate. As long as they can come up with real money, it will be the same for whoever sells the goods. ”
Although Ye Zongliu has been smuggling with the Japanese for several years, to be honest, he still doesn't know much about the situation of the Japanese invaders.
Or this is the mentality of the Central Dynasty, the small border country is a group of barbarians, you can take the money out to buy goods, what is there to pay attention to?
"In the ninth year of orthodoxy, the Japanese slaves broke through Taizhou and Ningbo Mansions, and captured Chang Guowei and Dasong Thousand Households, it is said that there are two Japanese slave lackeys who lead the way as guides, could it be these two?"
Shen Yichen asked rhetorically, he still remembered the orthodox nine-year war, after all, during the reign of Ming Yingzong at this time, there was a rare invasion of the Japanese invaders, and the consequences were not small.
"Well, it's Zhou Laibao, a native of Huangyan, and Zhong Pufu, a native of Longyan."
Ye Zongliu nodded in confirmation, but there was a trace of disdain in his expression that could not be hidden.
Even if this era does not have the blood hatred for the Japanese in later generations, being a traitor leading the party to invade the ancestral hometown is despisable after all!
"Find a way to contact these two people and let them guide the Japanese invaders to invade Fuzhou at the necessary moment."
What?
Ye Zongliu's face was full of shock, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Shen Yichen, who upholds the righteousness of justice, actually wants to collude with the Japanese to be a traitor, which is really unacceptable to him.
"Admiral Shen, why are you doing this? And this matter will bear the infamy of the ages, and it will be difficult for someone to obey him! ”
Even if Ye Zongliu has a bitter hatred with the imperial court, he can't wait to overthrow this corrupt dynasty and kill all the dog officials who oppress the people.
But this is an internal struggle after all, and it is impossible to be a traitor to lure the Japanese to harm the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Ye Zongliu didn't know what Shen Yichen wanted to do, but colluding with the Japanese to invade Fuzhou City, no matter what the reason, he couldn't accept it!
"Maybe I'm ambiguous, it's not for the Japanese slaves to capture Fuzhou City, and they don't have the ability to attack the city. Instead, he captured a manor somewhere outside Fuzhou City and took a human head! ”
"Admiral Shen, are you trying to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
Shen Yichen said it so clearly, if Ye Zongliu still didn't understand, then he was really sorry for his identity as the leader of the rebel army.
"That's right, Song Zhangzheng, the political envoy of Fuzhou, is jealous, so he bought a manor outside the city and raised several concubines, and he will go to it several times a month."
"Now the soldiers of the three guards of Fuzhou to assist in the defense have been recruited by me to Quanzhou Mansion to recruit the rebels, and the territory is in a state of emptiness. I believe that with the power of the Japanese slaves, it shouldn't be a problem to conquer a small manor with the cooperation of the inside and outside, right? ”
Listening to Shen Yichen tell the complete plan, Ye Zongliu couldn't help but gasp.
It is no wonder that Admiral Shen was able to grow from a scholar on the bank of the Zhenjiang River to a feudal official on the Admiral's side in just a few years.
He had been thinking about what Shen Yichen should do before in order to kill Song Zhangda's letter of surrender to Deng Maoqi.
When I think about it, it seems like an impossible thing to do.
But he never thought that Shen Yichen actually thought of using the Japanese to attack and kill people with a knife, and also transferred the soldiers of the three guards of Fuzhou in advance.
"Admiral Shen, is this something you have planned a long time ago?"
Shocked for a while, Ye Zongliu asked such a sentence.
He couldn't believe it, how could anyone in the world be so wise and almost demonic?
"How can I have the ability to do things like a god, just adapt to the situation."
Shen Yichen replied with a wry smile, who is willing to use the "force" of the Japanese as a last resort.
Can I think of this plan to kill people with a knife, or the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period of the war, military generals, landlords, traders, for their own selfish interests and the Japanese Kou, and even raise their own self-respect to make them in the southeast like no one's land, a trace of "inspiration".
Since this thing can be used in a hundred years, it can also be used in advance.
However, the cruel beastliness in the bones of the Japanese invaders, using them to borrow knives to kill people, can easily cause the consequences of raising tigers.
That's why Shen Yichen didn't reveal his dangerous tactics when he talked to the teacher before, and he didn't think of a way to never suffer in the future.
But now, he knew it.
"Admiral Shen's layout strategy, Ye is convinced!"
Ye Zongliu praised in admiration, and then added: "Without the assistance of Fuzhou Sanwei, it will not be a problem for the Japanese slaves to capture a small manor under the condition of internal and external cooperation, and they will definitely be able to take Song Zhang's dog head!" ”
"Okay, but I still need Leader Ye's backhand."
"Admiral Shen commanded."
"This matter involves raising the self-respect of the Kou, and I can't mobilize the imperial army in advance to defend it, so I need Leader Ye to extract elite miners and furnace diners, and cut the grass and eradicate the roots after the Wakou service is completed!"
This is Shen Yichen's last move, he not only thinks about borrowing a knife to kill people, but even the knife itself, he doesn't think about letting go.
As the military governor of Fujian, it is a matter of course that he has the responsibility to hunt down and kill traitors, lackeys and Japanese slaves.
Shen Yichen rejected Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, and asked him to use the rebel army as a stepping stone for his military achievements. Then I have to find someone else to become a white bone under my own green cloud.
Wokou, Shen Yichen felt that they were very suitable.
Sure enough, it was Ci Bu who was in charge of the troops, and Shen Yichen's means of never suffering in the future, Ye Zongliu was a little frightened.
Now it seems that Leader Deng really overestimates himself, but if he decisively uses half of the killing on the righteous army, it is estimated that there is no room for bargaining at all!
"Admiral Shen, it is a good thing to eradicate the pirates, but once they are not transported and sold from them, the smuggling trade by sea must be cut off."
"The imperial court does not open the sea ban and miners, and our miner furnace brothers will still be worried about their survival in the future."
Speaking from the heart, if there is a choice, Ye Zongliu will not cooperate with the Japanese Kou.
But when survival became difficult, the overseas smuggling trade became a lifesaver for Fujian miners.
Zhao'an does not mean solving all hidden dangers, and in the future, these 100,000 rebels will have to survive, and without the income from overseas smuggling trade, it will become a matter of time before the beacon fire rises again.
The next rebellion, can you still have good luck like this time, will Shen Yichen recruit an way to live?
"I have already discussed this matter with Xu Xianzun, and Leader Ye doesn't have to worry about the future."
"Fuzhou Prefecture Tongzhi Guo Yan was secretly ordered by the emperor to build the next fleet in Fuzhou Bao Shipyard, and even the ships controlled by Xu Zhixian are actually part of the next fleet."
"This time, this official is supervising the military affairs of Fujian, and in addition to quelling the rebellion, he also has the holy oracle of supervising the construction of the next fleet. The strong and brave men in the rebel army can voluntarily join the fleet and sail army, and under the command of Xu Zhi County, they can directly undertake the sea transportation with the Japanese state. ”
In addition, this time Fujian was full of beacon fires, and the leader Deng implemented the strategy of robbing his rich people and killing them, which caused a large number of borderless lands to appear in the state capitals. The official will not let the powerful invade, and after the war subsides, he will clear the land, redraw the fish scale book, and strive to ensure that everyone has a cultivable land! ”
To tell the truth, Shen Yichen is really grateful to Deng Maoqi for the resettlement work of the turmoil in Fujian.
The strategic slogan he implemented was almost no different from that of later generations, "fight local tyrants and divide the land". The state capital, which occupied half of Fujian, almost swept away the officials who had originally invaded the people's land and property with local tyrants and greedy ink.
After the war, there will be large tracts of land to house these rebels who have laid down their arms to recruit peace, as well as the landless farmers who will be affected.
Of course, if the person who quelled the rebellion was not Shen Yichen, there was a high probability that these "borderless lands" would be divided up by the bureaucratic landlords, and they would not fall into the hands of the people at all.
However, there is no if, and it is imperative to divide the land by clearing the fields!
In fact, Shen Yichen also thought about immigrating a group of people to the treasure island only more than 100 nautical miles away from Fujian, so as to consolidate the population one step earlier and avoid the tragedy of future generations.
But the Ming Dynasty has forbidden the sea for nearly two generations, even if most of the Fujian people near the sea have lost the sharpness and momentum to conquer the sea, not to mention the Confucian thinking that has been inseparable from the homeland for thousands of years.
At this point in time, before changing the perception of the public, it is unrealistic to want to immigrate overseas in large quantities, unless coercive means are used.
So how do you get people to go overseas voluntarily?
In fact, the method is also very simple, and the Western colonizers have already given an answer.
When you can get endless benefits, land, and women overseas, who wants to be a bitter person by guarding an acre and a third of land haha?
If you want to realize this answer, you have to let the Ming fleet float overseas and pass back the news that you can be an uncle everywhere to reduce money, so as to attract a large number of people to forge ahead!
"The First Evolution"
From the day Xu Fengyuan was appointed as the county governor of Changle, Shen Yichen had already laid out a plan to conquer the ocean, which can be said to be his real foresight.
I don't know how long it will take for Shen Yichen to achieve it, but what he does know is that he is getting closer and closer to his goal now.
"Ye has no more words, and in the future, he will swear to obey Admiral Shen!"
At this point, Ye Zongliu was completely convinced, and Shen Yichen really took one step at a time to see ten thousand steps, and arranged the follow-up resettlement matters properly.
At this time, even if he wants to give an errand to the imperial court, Ye Zongliu will die without regrets, he knows that his brothers can live in peace in the future.
"Leader Ye is polite, this official still has a lot of affairs to arrange, so I won't say more."
"If you really need to do it, I'll send someone to inform you when the time comes."
"Ye understands!"
After explaining to Ye Zongliu, Shen Yichen led everyone out of the camp of the righteous army and rushed to Xu Fengyuan's fleet next to the Jinjiang River.
The spring rain makes the roads a little muddy, but it also makes the flowers and trees that have experienced the cold winter compete to show a touch of green vitality.
Looking at the camp of the rebels farther and farther behind him, Bian He said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "To save 100,000 lives, the proprietor can be called a meritorious person. ”
Hearing this, Shen Yichen smiled and did not speak.
If he can really quell this rebellion, not to mention saving 100,000 lives, the direct casualties of the southeast uprising in the history of the Ming Dynasty alone are as high as hundreds of thousands, not counting the failure of Tumubao indirectly caused by the chain reaction.
However, as to whether he can really change history, Shen Yichen has no idea why he has no bottom in his heart. Perhaps in the previous period, the sense of powerlessness in the face of the general trend of history left a deep mark on him.
After taking a few more steps, Shen Yichen suddenly thought of something, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wu Rui.
"Wu Rui, you send a post station to change horses, and hand over this letter to your grandfather as soon as possible."
In addition to asking for help from the connections of the Jingshi civil official group, hoping that they will jointly impeach Dou Yi. In order to prevent his strength from being insufficient, Shen Yichen also prepared a letter to Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, hoping that he could call on the Xunqi group to impeach together.
After all, Song Zhang is in a high position, even if he tries to put aside the relationship and use the sword to kill people, he may not be able to avoid a detailed investigation by the imperial court afterwards.
Once Dongchangwei Han Yong died because of King Lu's incident, Shen Yichen didn't want this kind of thing to happen again. If you can use official power to kill Song Zhang, the right-hand political envoy, try not to use troops to make dangerous moves!
"Humble duty understands."
Wu Rui didn't say a word, and ordered a cavalry guard to gallop away with the letterhead.
The various incidents in the camp of the rebel army in the past few days made Wu Rui begin to admire Shen Yichen from the bottom of his heart, instead of simply obeying the orders of Chengguo Gong's guards.
The tiger father has no dogs, and Shen Yichen is even more brave than the eldest son Zhu Yi!
After riding a horse for about an hour, Shen Yichen and his party came to the bank of the Jinjiang River.
From afar, Shen Yichen saw the sails on the river covering the sun, and the huge ships stayed on the river, giving people a great visual impact, as if he had seen the industrial giant ships of later generations!
Even if it is a supporting ship for the treasure ship of the West, the large one is close to 100 meters, and even in order to prevent the river from running aground, it can only stay in the center of the river and dare not dock.
Shen Yichen never thought that one day he would be shocked by the ancient ship fleet. He now finally understood why Zheng He was able to sweep across the West and bring all nations to their knees.
Just this fleet drove in front of Fanbang, for the Siyi of this era, it was tantamount to an alien object!
