Chapter 357: Rewarding Money

Zhu Di was even more surprised, he stared at Yin Wang Zhu? Said: "Tell me more." ”

So Zhu? "Every group of people, their interests are different. ”

Paused, Zhu? continued: "It's like for the imperial brother, keeping the Ming Dynasty is the first thing in the world." But for the gentry, their land was their foundation. As for the ministers in the court, they don't care who the emperor is, as long as they don't lose their high-ranking officials. The same is true for merchants and peasants. ”

Therefore, the courtiers first asked people to buy ivory and spices on a large scale, which inevitably caused the merchants and gentry to produce and buy on a large scale in order to make a profit, and wanted to sell them for huge profits. For the King of Siam, such an approach is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle. If the Siamese trade with the Ming is too close, it will inevitably be slowly eroded by our Ming, so he must issue an edict to investigate this matter. ”

"And take this opportunity to withdraw the maritime merchants we purchased. And countless Siamese merchants and gentry must have lost all their money. ”

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this, but he had to admit that he didn't think in this direction.

He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the ministers.

Yang Rong, Hu Guang and others were speechless, they felt that Zhu? in the connotation of them.

But at this time, I have to admire, this His Royal Highness King Yin is indeed a little extraordinary.

I thought it was just a mixed food waiting for death, but I didn't expect that there would be such insight.

At this time, Zhu? He continued: "Of course, it is impossible to shake the foundation of the Siamese people by this alone. Although they had lost all their money, the merchants and gentry would only blame themselves for the loss of money, blaming themselves for being too greedy, knowing that the Ming Dynasty was an enemy of Siam, and even traded with it. ”

"Then the next step is to put the blame on the King of Siam. This is also the reason why there are monks from Jiming Monastery who want to visit Siam in order to be goodwill, and at the same time to achieve the action of relieving old suspicions and restoring diplomatic relations in the future. ”

In fact, this practice is to make the merchants and gentry who originally had no money realize that maybe they still have hope, and once people have hope, they will pay special attention to the matter of Jiming Temple, and the movement of this matter must have aroused great enthusiasm in Siam. But does the Emperor know what the King of Siam will do when everyone is concerned about one thing, and the Siamese have great hope for the visit of the monks of the Monastery of Jiming? ”

"The king of Siam is the lord of Siam, how can he not know that this is just a trick of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Siam must have been wary, so the more the Siamese people expected the monks of the Monastery, the more unlikely the King of Siam would have allowed the monks of the Monastery to enter. ”

Zhu Di nodded, he thought carefully that if he was the king of Siam, he was afraid that it would be like this.

Cinnabar? Said: "But when the king of Siam issued an edict to ban and prohibit the monks of Jiming Temple from visiting, then ...... What would it be like for a Siamese person? The monks who came to Jiming Temple were just some monks who were merciful and couldn't bear to be miserable, and even these were not tolerated by the King of Siam. In this way, thinking of the huge losses caused by his inability to trade with the Ming Dynasty is bound to ...... The whole country of Siam was full of complaints, and everyone would think, if there was no King of Siam, wouldn't the world be peaceful, and there would be no need to suffer from military service? Without the King of Siam, spices and ivory could have been sold for a profit, without having to suffer as much as they did. ”

"I will think about it, if there is no King of Siam, if the monks of Jiming Temple can enter the country to promote Buddhism, what is wrong, this time, it will make the King of Siam offend the monks, gentry, businessmen in Siam, and even many people who have suffered from military service."

"Of course, it's not enough to get to this point, and the next thing to do is ...... It's just to let people spread rumors everywhere. After infiltrating Siam with the personnel of the Hundred Households Office of Annam, the courtiers secretly arranged a large number of informants, special thousand-household offices, and the personnel of the Hundred Households Office of Annam, and began to purposefully put all kinds of gossip, which was nothing more than how the king of Siam was extravagant...... Of course, these things can be said to be easy to capture, just change the story of the Shang King and Emperor Yang of Sui into the Siamese version, and the Siamese merchants and gentry are already dissatisfied and happy to spread these rumors......"

Zhu Di couldn't help but say, "Fuck it." ”

He wanted to say, what is rumored about me outside, is it also you and Zhang Anshi, the two boys, who did it?

After all, there were so many people here that he didn't say anything.

Cinnabar? And he said, "The next thing is easy, now that the dry wood has been piled up, just wait for the sparks to come out." After this incident, there will inevitably be Siam's ministers who are worried about the situation. Therefore, there will definitely be people who will invite the king of Siam to simply negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, and the more intelligent and eloquent the King of Siam is, the more he will know that my Ming plan is very big, and the more he will not allow it, and in order to prevent the ministers from wavering, he will definitely severely punish the ministers who played. “

"Therefore, such ministers, those who are dismissed, and those who are in prison. And at this time, there is a lot to do. But all such ministers, we will proclaim that they are people like Bigan and Wei Zheng, but because the king of Siam is extravagant and has been victimized by the king of Siam, as long as they are the advocates of peace in Siam, they can preach their integrity and loyalty, so that the whole Siamese people will have sympathy for them. ”

"At this point, in fact, the general trend has been achieved, the next thing to do, is to kick the door, the ministers began to send people, to many ministers of Siam to send silver, these important ministers, although the King of Siam's henchmen, but have also realized that the situation has changed, in order to survive the family, if you go to gamble with the King of Siam, in vain to try to be the enemy of my Ming and countless angry Siamesees, it is very likely to be destroyed, not to mention, we give silver taels, but we don't have to let them use us, just send silver, which can show that, We are already fully sure, and at the same time, we don't have to embarrass them, they have to reluctantly accept it, because if they don't accept it, who would have thought that in the future, the Ming army will not teach them to die without a place to bury. ”

"In addition, we released the news that the Ming Dynasty was about to recruit a million troops and horses, and was about to enter Siam in the near future, and bought some monks and began to express their dissatisfaction with the King of Siam.

"Coming to this point, in fact, the king of Siam is already dying, secretly we began to fan the flames, and bribed the tribes in Siam to make trouble, so that their military horses began to be tired of coping, plus arson everywhere, causing irreparable movements, those Siamese king's important ministers and henchmen, at this time is precisely the most fearful, they know that they are the heart of the king of Siam, things have come to this point, once the Ming army kills, they may destroy the whole family, not to mention that we have so much silver, if the king of Siam knows about this in the future, They may not be able to be spared. ”

"At this moment, if the King of Siam is still alive for one day, it will be enough for the entire Siamese people, farmers, and businessmen, and even for many of the King of Siam's cronies and confidants."

Finally, he said: "Brother Huang, look, isn't his head coming?" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he felt drenched in a cold sweat.

With this whole set of methods, he felt that even if Master Yao was alive, he could probably only use this poisonous trick.

The most terrible thing is that this kind of thing can be said to be unpreventable, but the harm it can cause is extremely great.

Zhu Di said: "You said it so easily, but ...... Things in the world are easy to say, but they are very difficult to do. ”

Cinnabar? said calmly: "Brother Huang, whether things are difficult or easy, it depends on the situation." It's much easier to have a well-thought-out plan in place from the outset, and with a group of talented people to implement it. Most of the people in the special thousand households graduated from the official school. They are proficient in the collection of intelligence, some are proficient in the languages and psychology of all countries in the world, and some are good at economics and business. The special thousand households recruit top students from various disciplines, and let them experience it on weekdays, but now these things are just a breeze for them. ”

Zhu Di couldn't cry or laugh, but at this time, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister just let them learn knowledge, and didn't teach them to do bad things......

"I don't blame you." Zhu Di said: "What are you panicking about? ”

He said, "So, this is your plan?" ”

He looked at Yin Wang Zhu.

Cinnabar? said very calmly: "It's my brother's plan." However, the plan is not thorough, so in order to be foolproof, the courtiers often arrange several arrangements for one situation. If one method doesn't work, go to the other, anyway, the ministers are in the dark, and the king of Siam is in the ......."

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I originally wanted to do it in person, and I even thought that if I couldn't do it in person, I would order the kings to send troops." Where did you think that you would be able to do it without blood, this kid. Your method can be described as a military strategy, which is indeed extraordinary. ”

Zhu Di vs. Zhu? It is a rare thing to praise.

Cinnabar? But he said firmly: "I'm already very powerful, and the imperial sister-in-law has always said this." ”

Zhu Di glared at Zhu? At a glance, I wanted to scold, but I found that there really seemed to be no excuse worth scolding.

At that moment, he said with a tiger face: "In this way, the head of the King of Siam has been delivered, what should I do next?" ”

Cinnabar? Then he said: "This Siamese country is already leaderless, but ...... Although they want to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, the ministers speculate that they may not be willing to accept the rule of my Ming Dynasty. Next...... If nothing else, then Siam will inevitably be in chaos, and even the military horses will attack each other in order to seize the throne. Therefore, the younger brother thought that this time was not the best time for the Ming Dynasty to enter Siam. ”

"Oh?"

"If the Ming Dynasty directly enters Siam, then their contradictions will inevitably point to the Ming Dynasty. The only way is to let them kill each other first, attack each other, and wait until countless heads fall to the ground, when the blood flows like a river, when the people's minds are settled, and then let the kings send a military horse to hang the people to cut down the crime, then it will inevitably be like a bamboo, everyone follows, Siam up and down, all clapping their hands and applauding, and my Ming Dynasty will be able to detain Siam again. ”

Zhu Di frowned.

Hu Guang was a little unacceptable, and said: "This is not appropriate, His Royal Highness King Yin, this kind of approach is too domineering." I am blessed all over the world...... How can it ...... And how much more this King of Siam...... Of course, damn it, but Da Ming is already unkind to use such methods, and it is urgent to do so at the moment......"

"You can't say that." Zhang Anshi hurriedly stood up and played a round: "Hey...... Can Hu Gong know that the King of Siam conquered the Khmer, and he was also domineering? It can be seen that everyone is half a catty to eight taels, and everyone is a ninth-rate, who still looks down on whom? ”

Hu Guangdao: "Ah...... This ......"

Hu Guang was obviously running out of words for a while.

Zhang Anshi continued: "What we are discussing now is how to solve the problem, as King Yin said, if we enter Siam now, the people's anger will inevitably be sprinkled on my Daming's head." People are like this, at this time in this Siam group of dragons without a leader, many people are ambitious, people's minds change, the only way, is to watch from the wall, and wait for them to fight almost, and then go to clean up the mess, at that time, I Daming is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, everywhere I pass, everyone praises. ”

"When people enjoy the peaceful days, they will not feel how precious the peaceful days are, but once the chaos is in danger, everyone is in danger, and the day is not safe, they will feel that there is nothing more precious in the world than peace. Now, if you give peace to a group of people who don't care about peace, they will only disdain it, and only when they have been taught a lesson, will they regard me as a king. ”

Hu Guang shook his head, he glanced at Yang Rong, hoping that Yang Rong would stand up and say a few words.

Yang Rong was silent.

Zhu Di groaned, but suddenly his face turned cold, looked at King Yin and said, "Is this really your idea?" ”

Yin Wang Zhu? "Yes...... It's ......"

Zhu Di's eyes widened, glared at him and said, "You stinky boy, who taught you this, you don't want to recruit you from the truth!" ”

This roar immediately put Yin Wang Zhu ? Shocked.

Zhang Anshi also felt weak, and hurriedly tiptoed back two steps.

Yin Wang Zhu? 's heart is still very afraid of Zhu Di, at this time, how can there be a calm and calm, he stammered: "Really...... I really came up with it, if the royal brother doesn't believe it...... I...... I was in the duty room, and I had my own plan for the current situation in Siam and how to deal with it in the future, which had already been written. ”

Zhu Di was surprised: "Really? ”

Cinnabar? said very sincerely: "The younger brother will never dare to deceive." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly turned red: "The youngest son of Emperor Taizu is you, this kid, I thought that you kid was used to being pampered in the palace and had no skills." Who would have thought...... You still have such talents, I can't imagine it. In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory was thousands of miles away, and without spending a single soldier, he took down the country of thousands of miles. This is only Emperor Taizu Gao, who has such a talent, I really underestimate you. ”

Cinnabar? was so frightened that his face was flushed, but after listening to Zhu Di's words at this time, he was slightly relieved.

Zhu Di said again: "This time, you have made a lot of contributions. ”

Cinnabar? Hurriedly said: "Brother ...... Chen"

Zhu Di waved his hand, don't wait for Zhu? continued: "But I can't reward you, how can I not know that you have this talent, if you hadn't entered the official academy, and if it wasn't for Zhang Qing's family to sponsor you, I'm afraid that you, a kid, are still watching around." So...... Your credit, even if it is calculated, it should be counted on the head of Zhang Qing's family. ”

Cinnabar? :“……”

Zhang Anshi also breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to have strength in an instant, and hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of merit is this." ”

Zhu Di said: "You don't have to be polite to me here, this is a great merit, far above the military merits, and this special thousand households is really extraordinary, it is really not to be underestimated." ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "From now on, a special thousand households will not be able to rely on one thousand households. In this way, under this brocade guard, there is a division of Dongzhen Fu, and there are three thousand households, which are in charge of the duties of special thousand households. As for Zhang Qing, he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Yin Wang Zhu was the commander of the envoy and presided over the affairs of the Dongdong Town. Look, okay? ”

Zhang Anshi finally became this commander.

Although before, Zhu Di sent a person as a commander, and this person was not a minister, nor was he a capable character, but just an ordinary military minister.

And this person is very loyal, and he has almost no ability.

Zhang Anshi knew that His Majesty was essentially letting such a good old man be the commander, and not hindering him Zhang Anshi from doing things in Jinyiwei.

And the commander obviously knew His Majesty's thoughts, and knew that His Majesty was just asking him to be a mud bodhisattva, so in addition to locking himself in the duty room in a daze every day, he never interfered in the affairs of the Jinyi Guard.

And now...... Even the last bit of fig leaf can be regarded as torn off.

Zhang Anshi directly replaced this person and rightfully held the power of Jinyiwei.

and set up the Dongzhen Fusi, but it greatly expanded the authority of Jinyiwei.

The duty of the Dongzhen Fusi is obviously to target the overseas feudal domains, so that this brocade guard ...... It is no longer confined to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Anshi actually thought that there would be such a day for a long time, but he was not verbose, and he thanked him as kindly.

Cinnabar? He was also satisfied with this, so he said: "This is the best, the younger brother is still worried about the lack of manpower." Now, with Dongzhen Fusi, most of the manpower problem has been solved. ”

Yang Rong, Hu Guang, Jin Zhong and others were also silent at this time.

They obviously still don't want to have a super-huge body so inflated.

But...... Everyone knows that there is no one to stop the expansion of this brocade guard.

The role shown by this brocade guard is too great, and such a credit is in front of him, and it is useless to say anything.

Zhu Di is used to looking at this younger brother unpleasantly, glaring at Yin Wang Zhu? glanced at it, and then said: "The duties of the Dongzhen Fu Division are only allowed to be outside the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and they are definitely not allowed to act in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. If there is such a thing, the first thing I want to ask is you. Secondly...... The school officials and horsemen involved in these things must all be severely punished, you know? ”

Cinnabar? Looking at Zhu Di's stern appearance, he also said obediently: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di's face softened slightly, and then he said, "Your sister-in-law...... I haven't seen you for many days, so go and say hello. Tell her about your meritorious deeds, and make her happy. ”

Cinnabar? said: "Yes, the younger brother will leave." ”

He still has a fear of Zhu Di, and he can't wait to run away immediately, and after listening to Zhu Di's words, it is like being amnestied.

Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing...... This official school is very good, but it has raised a lot of talents. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled awkwardly and said: "The official school is actually nothing great, it's just a collection of knowledge from all over the world, and people can make choices according to their strengths." ”

Zhu Di said: "I heard that your right capital governor's mansion is very lively?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "When Your Majesty says lively, you mean ......"

Zhu Di said: "Didn't you say that you collected a lot of money? ”

"This ......" Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "The minister plans to ...... Build a railway to facilitate ......"

Zhu Di interrupted him: "How much silver did the Right Capital Governor's Mansion borrow?" ”

Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "This ...... I'm afraid that there are millions of taels ......"

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the interest is not small. ”

"The minister will find a way...... If you repay it, please rest assured that it is. ”

Zhu Di didn't want to ask much, this kind of wanton debt is really jaw-dropping, but now when it comes to this .......

Zhu Di gave Yang Rong and the others a look, and Yang Rong and the others tacitly retired one by one.

When everyone retreated, and only Zhang Anshi was left, Zhu Di said: "Borrow a little less silver, all dynasties and dynasties, and wantonly borrow, who do you see have a good end?" And also...... The emperor's grandson, you instigated him to help you sell your land? ”

"The minister didn't ......," Zhang Anshi immediately denied it.

"And said no, Junji has already hit his young army with the idea."

Zhang Anshi: "......"

The so-called young army is actually a will of Zhu Di at the beginning of spring this year.

He saw that Zhu Zhanji had gradually become an adult, and he was worried that Zhu Zhanji would not win the world immediately like him, the imperial grandfather.

Thus...... He issued a very special decree, ordering the military department to select young people between the ages of seventeen and twenty from all over the world, the standard is the brave and strong and slightly talented folk children, and call them to the Beijing division to form a "young army", as the retinue of the imperial grandson, in fact, his personal guard.

To be honest, when Zhang Anshi first learned about this, he was not surprised, because in history, Zhu Di did do this.

But for both the government and the opposition, they can't laugh or cry.

The crown prince does not have a personal guard, so the emperor and grandson set up a military horse by himself, and he is so aggressive and selective, it seems that at present, there is only the emperor and the emperor's grandson, and there is no prince.

Zhang Anshi listened to Zhu Di's words, but he was actually very happy, or his nephew loved his uncle!

But he hurriedly made a surprised look and said, "No, he did such a thing, minister...... The minister must criticize him. ”
