Chapter 232: Tuien
Chapter 232 Tuen
Shulubu was the first to respond to Lord Zhu's order to fight back, but he was certainly not the only one. After Zhu Xieyuan's proclamation was issued, most of the leaders of the Pingzhou Liudong Division, the Fengning Division, the Kunxi Heizhai and the Mukua Zhai were coerced by An Bangyan's forces.
One of the most advertising effects is Ninggu Village. Remember, this is a village that can't get a hundred young people and can't be smaller. In the chaos together, the scheming master of the Ma Ni Village called the younger son Mengtang to report to the officials of Anshun Prefecture in advance to avoid danger, and asked the eldest son Donggen to lead more than a dozen people to participate in Elder An's team. Buried the chess piece of Jimengtang in advance, and seeing that the court was menacing this time, he asked someone to find his youngest son, and expressed to Lord Zhu that Ningguzhai had always been willing to the court through several state officials who had been saved by his report. Without saying a word, Zhu Xieyuan awarded the title of chief of Ninggu, the old village owner of few clansmen, on the spot!
When the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation - Don't look at it, Dong Gen only led a dozen people to join Elder An's team, don't forget, they had caused thousands of casualties to Zhang Fang and Huang Yunqing's Ming army! After such a "big disaster", the village is too small to mention, and it can even lead a long lawsuit? Except for a very small number of sworn friends who have followed the two families of Lu'an for generations, under the huge political and military pressure, most of the leaders are moved. Zazosi, Kangzuosi, Ma Xiangsi, Papaya Division, Dog Farm Village, Downstairs Village, Chicken Back Village...... In just over a month, the owners of the large and small heads of the village sent as many as 50 or 60 people to the Guizhu Division of Lord Zhu. For these people, Zhu Xieyuan did not refuse to come, and all of them were rewarded, and the department was recruited, pacified, and sued...... All kinds of duties are spilled out like water.
Although the relationship is not as good as Sun Jie, Lao Shun, who has been promoted to the rank of Sichuan because of his merits, can already be regarded as half of Zhu Xieyuan's confidant. Moreover, Chengdu Zhongwei itself has been bullied by civil officials at all levels before, and has rich experience in being cleaned up, seeing Lord Zhu so vigorously sealing the official, Lao Shun couldn't help but be a little worried: "My lord, you ...... sealed these many people in one go, and in the imperial court, I am afraid that someone will chew the root of the tongue ......"
Zhu Xieyuan smiled: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Do you think the old man is on a whim? This method, the old man thought of it on the way to Sichuan Province to find you and Sun Shuai. You think, in the years of the Miao Chaos in the southwest, the provinces of Sichuan and Guizhou are certainly a hot yam, but the title of the governor of the five provinces is too ostentatious, and there must be people who are unhappy and unconvinced. No matter what the old man does, there will be people who say that it is difficult to reconcile the so-called public opinion. Don't worry, the old man did it on purpose, first show a flaw and make them trouble, the old man has a trick! Otherwise, the seedlings will be chaotic and easy to peace, and it will be difficult to maintain peace and stability for a long time, and it will not be long before they will have to be chaotic again. As he spoke, a trace of melancholy hit Zhu Xieyuan's old face, and he sighed and continued, "Alas. At this age, how many more years can the old man live? Sun Shuai, you, and Liu Chao don't talk about it, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king. Let's just talk about the soldiers under your command, which one is not a handful of and urine that your father and mother have worked hard to pull up? No matter how poor and difficult the days are, the parents and elders will be very happy with a smile, even if they borrow money, they must invite the neighbors to eat two happy wines, and the incense of this family can continue! But then what? If you are in chaos once, you will die a lot of people, and if you grow up easily, you will die silently in the ravine? The old man took a few words of scolding for his old bones, and it is always good to be able to die fewer people. What's more, the old man is sure, when the Miao chaos is calmed down this time, this move can ensure the stability of my southwest Ming Dynasty for decades! ”
Listening to the heartfelt words, Lao Shun was moved and bowed deeply.
Sure enough, in response to Lao Shun's worries and Zhu Xieyuan's expectations, the news reached Jingshi, and the court exploded again.
The first was Li Ruoshui's "Catching Thieves and Occasional Successes" at the turn of the two Song Dynasty, which was constantly mentioned and copied among officials:
Last year, the Song River started in Shandong, and the city was invaded during the day.
The killings are like grass, and the nine times are miserable.
The big book of yellow paper flew in, and thirty-six people worshiped the lord.
The fat pawn was arrogant, and the scholar and girl were stunned.
……
I heard that the official position should be virtuous, and it is not wrong to say this.
……
The minister has no way to go to the sky, and he has to say crazy about the temple road!
The habit of the Ming officialdom is that every big storm always comes out in advance from a small and seemingly unrelated one, then brews, ferments, then erupts, and finally spreads to a mess. This poem clearly says that the Northern Song Dynasty recruited Song Jiang (don't be fooled by the novel, the so-called one hundred and eight heroes in Shuibo Liangshan Yunyun are actually Song Jiang and other thirty-six people tossing in a palm-sized place), but anyone can read from the poem the anger and dissatisfaction of many officials at that time with this move: Ten years of hard work, and then conscientious selfless dedication to the court, the end is not as good as the chaotic ministers and thieves who kill people and oversell goods - under the "big book yellow paper flying", actually became an official in the same dynasty as those guys (that Song Heizi's rank is even above many officials)!
Obviously, this is a surging undercurrent, a dissatisfaction and protest against Zhu Xieyuan's actions of sealing the land. It is no wonder that although Zhu Xieyuan's policy has received very good results in a very short period of time, and the wings of Lu'an have been cut off five or six out of ten at once, the officials who previously regarded the southwest as a dead end were not convinced, and everyone was depressed in their hearts - isn't it just a sealed official? If that would be a credit, who wouldn't!
There are a lot of people who resonate. Soon, the cabinet received the participation of various officials, some of whom emphasized that this was short-sighted, and there were endless troubles: as long as the rebellion can be exchanged for recruiting and conferring knighthood, will not everyone follow suit in the future and everyone will oppose it? Some say that the official position is a famous weapon of the imperial court, and it should not be lightly guarded by the Ming Dynasty - taking Ningguzhai as an example, people who are less than a thousand can also receive a long lawsuit of the sixth grade, which is simply too much to take the official position of the imperial court seriously; Of course, there are more than a dozen letters that swear that Zhu Xieyuan is recruiting the chieftains, but there are actually more than a dozen letters of evil!
It stands to reason that for such a major matter, the cabinet, as the secretary of the emperor, should first come up with an opinion, and then submit the vote to the Son of Heaven. However, several pavilion elders just exchanged glances with each other, and then tacitly sorted out a few representative letters and sent them to the saint, and they didn't say a word about what was right or wrong. Support Zhu Xieyuan and use his good body to block the ten thousand arrows of dozens of "righteous gentlemen"? Or do you accuse Lao Zhu of doing something wrong? That...... What is the right thing to do? Counting Cai Fuyi, who died of illness in the army shortly after being dismissed, there are already three governors, four or five commanders, and more than 100 civil and military officials! After so many years, just a little bit of improvement, will you tear down the stage and die by yourself? The old fox-like elders who are so fine that their hair is white will not take these responsibilities: hand them all over to the Holy Son of Heaven, you are right about everything!
Of course, Lord Zhu also has a lot of Austrian aid in the DPRK and China, and the stagecoach who transmits military information between the two places at all times knows the direction of the Beijing division well. Estimating that the fire was almost over, Lord Zhu sent out the first letter: "Fanzhou, stop the projectile Xiaozhou ear." However, the country has not heard of any opposition in 200 years, why not? The loyalty of his soil eyes is solid one, but he is all good and rebellious? The ministers are not as good as the land of a county, and the people who are subject to the chief lawsuit of Taizu are ten and seven, even if they have the idea of not being subordinate, how can the mantis arm be used as a car? The imperial court does not need to send a single soldier or arrow, it has been wiped out for the villages that covet its land! ”
The scheming Lord Zhu's first blow is really beautiful! Ready-made examples are placed there, not as big as a county, Fanzhou, has set up seventeen long lawsuits! In the past 200 years, who has heard of a rebellion there? Not a single one! Why? Is it because the toasts there have been loyal and obedient to their families for generations, and the rest of the people are born thieves? Phew! It is because these stockades are both scattered and mutually restrictive, and whoever has the heart of disobedience will be immediately destroyed by the neighbors who want to expand their power and want to be red-eyed, and the court does not need to send a single soldier! Besides, who did this matter of sealing seventeen long lawsuits in one go? Grandpa! My old Zhu has only sealed a few, and he learned it from his grandfather - which one said that this is wrong, stand up, take two steps, well, go in the direction of the execution ground where the skull is chopped!
There was a sudden silence in the courtroom. Picking bones in eggs and fighting for fame is certainly the true color of many clear streams, but who dares to put on his own head and say that grandpa is not, who dares to do this kind of thing? Everyone hated it: how could this old fox actually carry the grandfather out as a shield...... Oh no, where is the shield, it's just a trapdoor god, why did I forget about this one!
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xieyuan's second bullet came again, and this time he first told a story. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, sealed a bunch of vassal kings, and when he arrived in the Jingdi Dynasty, under the instigation of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, he finally caused the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. The imperial court finally suppressed it after paying a great price, but the hidden danger remained: the larger vassal kings often owned dozens of cities, and they still posed a great threat to the emperor on the dragon chair at all times. When he arrived in the Wudi Dynasty, a guy called the lord father Yan appeared, this guy had traveled between the vassal kings and princes in the early years, of course, he wanted to mix glory and wealth, but he sat on a cold bench everywhere, and no one treated him. So he went directly to Chang'an and went directly to Liu Che. Although Liu Che is a bastard, he also has some merit - he summoned this penniless Bai Ding on the same day! Whether it is a personal vendetta or a single-minded pursuit of the country (anyway, the ending of this one is because of the major corruption problem by Liu Che The whole family clicked, whether it is dedicated to the country You judge for yourself), he gave Liu Che a good idea: In the past, the vassal king was born, and the prince and the fief were inherited by the eldest son, in order to show the great love and brotherhood in the world, let's change it later! After the old prince died, the eldest, second, and third ...... Divide the family property together, everyone has a share - after a few generations, Fengzi Longsun has become the village chief for Lao Tzu, see who ™ has the ability to rebel! As soon as the policy came out, it was warmly supported by everyone except the eldest son of the vassal king, and the Han Dynasty forever got rid of the worries of the vassal king......
Subsequently, Master Zhu further elaborated on his thoughts: "It is inevitable that the people of the big clan will rely on their domineering assets, and the weak and widowed will take loyalty and obedience as their policy to protect the world." The will of the subordinates is divided and dissolved, and the land of luxury and peace is widely sealed, then the people inside and outside the four miles feel the vastness of the holy grace, and hate the thief's tiredness, and they will fight for the first service to protect their families and get rich, why not suffer from the immaturity of the Miao atmosphere! ”
Uppercase clothes!
Speaking of this, the cabinet vote was drawn up: "This plan for the country is also a good word, and the ministers congratulate the saint!" ”
The mouth cannons who wanted to fight for a colorful sound hit their faces, but there was nothing they could do. Zhu Xieyuan first brought out Zhu Yuanzhang to put himself in an invincible position, and then reasoned with the facts through the example of Tui Enling, the policy has been achieved and the results that will be achieved in the future are beyond doubt, and no matter how much to toss, it can only be self-inflicted.
However, after the careful search of the Qingliu people's eyes with big eyes, they still found a small pigtail that seemed to be able to be pulled: the Miao Rebellion in the past few years has spent so much silver, transferred so many soldiers, and levied so much food, we don't care who spends the money and whose person dies, anyway, now this matter is in your hands! Aren't you capable? If you don't want money, you don't have any food, your surname Zhu has a big ability, so find a way to level it yourself!
Hey, see what you do!
The plan has been decided, and everyone has started their own performances. The Ministry of War said that the military strength of the provinces was stretched thin, and it was really impossible to transfer another soldier out, and the Ministry of Household said that the Holy Lord had exempted Sichuan Province from paying for three years, and if some people asked the court for money, the Holy Lord, you should find a way from your own internal money, and even the rats in the granary of the Ministry of Household were about to starve to death, and the people of the Ministry of Industry also joined in the fun, saying that the official army wore iron armor and cut Miao Man, which was absolutely invincible, twenty two sets, how much are you going to allocate to Sun Shuai, how about 10,000 sets? Take 200,000 taels of silver, it won't take a year to get it all, oh yes, that's the cost, not counting the transportation costs......
Unexpected!
It's not that Zhu Xieyuan didn't expect it - these tricks, Lao Zhu had already thought of them.
I didn't expect it to be these guys who miscalculated.
When they finished arguing, they didn't expect that the Holy Son of Heaven on the throne not only did not show melancholy, but laughed instead, and taught Li Shizhong to take a notebook and circulate it to them.
Of course, it's Zhu Xieyuan's twist, the third blow!
"The ministers are extravagant and An's two rebellions, and there are no more than 10,000 local soldiers in their clans, and the rest are driven and coerced, and they are vain. Cheng makes the wise and brave generals such as Jie, Shun, and Liu Chao, and the male soldiers of each control 120,000 people, and the loyal and obedient people who serve the Tusi are brave and long-lasting, and use a little high benevolence and generous strategy to transmit and dissolve the thieves. ”
"The king is going to crack his soil and seal the soil, and the first day is against the first day and my momentum is expanding, and the attached ones are panicking to do birds and beasts scattered. Propaganda envoys, solicitation envoys, pacification envoys and other positions are all local officials, and the court's cardinal has no salary and the effect of collecting fences and screens, why not set up forests? The chieftains are constrained by each other, and Miao Jiang will definitely be able to plan it! Poor mountains and bad waters, what is the benefit of reflowing? It is difficult to collect the benefits of a drop in the amount of money, and the Han and Miao are very customary, and they are easy to change; Gongma tribute court order to the local officials, such as the arm of the finger, the minister said that this is the policy of razing and razing. Pray for the Holy Judge, the head of the minister. ”
This letter is Zhu Xieyuan's real killer move: not only clearly tell the court that my old Zhu Pingmiao has Sun Jie and Liu Chao is enough, don't bother with it, my way is to seal a bunch of big and small local officials, don't spend a dime on the court, no one is forced, the most important thing is to change the land and return to the stream is pure nonsense, except for adding chaos to what's useless, in the future, close your beak to the old man!
Did it work?
It's useful!
It works like God.
Zhu Xieyuan firmly grasped the core of the incident: what Qingliu is best at is nitpicking and throwing out problems and then spraying chickens and ducks wildly, and Lao Zhu not only directly exposed the core of the root cause of the Miao Chaos, but also fully explained his strategy, and did not need any investment from the imperial court, and at the same time depicted a bright future, piggybacking permanently blocked the proposal to change the land and return to the stream, and Minghuang shook the thick pier and built a huge iron plate - or kick or hit casually, who dares to try?
There was finally a rare and complete silence in the court. However, a pair of blood-red eyes that were so hateful that they were about to erupt fire were staring at the southwest, just waiting for Zhu Xieyuan and Sun Jie to be put together by the two of Luxury, even if it was a small setback - this matter can't be counted, we have to avenge this revenge!
Now it's up to Sun Jie's performance on the battlefield.
Will they live up to Lord Zhu's trust?
