Chapter 350: Guidance
It's a pity that these ministers ignored one thing, if Zhu Di really wants to stand on the side of the military ministers, Zhu Di, as the emperor, has the power to lift the table.
Zhu Di is not some emperor who has no military power, although he did not experience the martyrdom this time, but he also fought in Beiping for so many years, and there are not many old things in the army.
Even if the relationship was not deep before, seeing that Zhu Di ascended the throne according to Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes, the relationship will become better.
As long as there is military power in hand, and the identity of the Son of Heaven, the ministers can't jump out of Zhu Di's palm.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning He Qiu left the palace early and returned to his home, and before he could sit down, he heard a message from the servant, and Zhang Yu asked to see him.
He Qiu groaned and let people lead him up.
He Qiu has always had a good impression of Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu is also a calm and moderate person, and he is not greedy for money and lustful, which is somewhat similar to Xu Da of the Hongwu Dynasty.
After Zhang Yu saw He Qiu, he didn't be polite, and asked directly.
"He Concubine, I don't know what Your Majesty's intentions are now? Can you give me a thorough explanation, and I can tell the brothers that they don't have to be so anxious. ”
He Qiu thought about it, there was nothing bad to say about this, so he said to Zhang Yu.
"Okay, you come with me to the living room, let's sit down and talk about it."
Not long after the two of them entered the living room, before they could say a few words, He Neng ran in again to report, Xu Huizu, Zhu Neng and a large number of other people came.
He Qiu smiled dumbly and said to Zhang Yu.
"It seems that there is more than one smart person, General Zhang, so it's okay, they are all here, so you don't need to relay them one by one."
Then he personally went to the gate and led the general into the mansion.
Along the way, He Qiu was still teasing there.
"You bastards, why did you come to me at this time to beg me for the trouble you caused yourself?"
Zhu Neng said with a smile on the side.
"He Concubine, we have no choice but to do it, although Your Majesty said that I should wait to clean up some dirty things, but the brothers below can't sit still, to say that this kind of thing can be understood compared to the Concubine.
The friendship in the army is really not so easy to shirk, in case there is really a big disturbance, they are all brothers who are fighting together, and I really don't want to go. ”
Xu Huizu on the side had a stinky face and looked quite depressed, although this matter had little to do with him, but after all, he was a governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and he was always inseparable, not to mention that the Xu family could be called the first noble.
In the past, there were still Chang family members among the nobles who could compete with them, but because Prince Yiwen died early, Zhu Di, who ascended the throne, was Xu Da's son-in-law, but Lan Yu retired, and for a while, Huaixi's old relations also found him.
"He Qiu, don't laugh anymore, I won't tell you, after I returned home yesterday, I haven't stopped, people have been looking for you to inquire about the situation, I don't have a place to look for you here."
He Qiu smiled quite understandingly, put away the funny look on his face, and waited until a group of people sat down in the living room before He Qiu spoke.
"This matter must be dealt with, I am afraid that a group of people will be cleared out of the group of officials, completely become ordinary people, and even be imprisoned."
As soon as He Qiu's words were said, the generals below were in an uproar, and some people couldn't help but say.
"How does this work? The brothers below are also serving the country, so they can't just be driven out and left alone, right? What's more, everyone has been holding swords for more than ten years, and suddenly they want to become ordinary people, isn't this to force them to death? ”
He Qiu said with some unpleasant sarcasm when he heard this.
"Why, a person who has held a sword for more than ten years has no problem becoming a court official? Didn't you force them to death? ”
"After all, isn't it just coveting that bit of wealth? Don't blame me for my ugly words, even Your Majesty is bent on opening up the sea frontier, hoping to explore the Western Ocean and achieve something great.
Could it be that Your Majesty knew a lot about the West before? If you don't understand, don't you still want to learn? It's not easy to be alone with your group of Qiuba? Your Majesty didn't go to the battlefield to fight knives in the first place? ”
He Qiu's stormy reprimand made the general's face blue and white, and even Zhu Neng and the others on the side did not look very good.
He Qiu eased his tone at this time and said lightly.
"Besides, if Your Majesty wants to explore the Western Ocean and open up the sea frontier, doesn't he need people? If you want to go to a foreign domain to fight, can you still say that you don't know the local situation, don't adapt to the local climate, and don't go? ”
At this moment, many generals were stunned, and some didn't know what He Qiu meant, why did they go to the foreign domain to fight again?
Qiu Fu, who was on the side, saw it, and said with hatred that iron is not steel.
"You fools, what the horses mean is that if you are dismissed from the army, you can still follow our Ming sailors to Nanyang to find a good future!
You can't be worse than the original military households in Jiangnan, right? ”
This time, those generals are even more cowardly, overseas?
I don't know what's going on there, and the land of Yungui alone has already made many people fearful, not to mention the hot and humid land of Nanyang, which is further south.
Fools go there!
He Qiu nodded and said.
"General Qiu's words are right, of course Nanyang has some hard bones, and it may be dealt with by our regular army of the Ming Dynasty, but what about after the defeat?
You can't let the most elite frontier troops stay there and defend them, can you? It is necessary to ask those who have served in Daming in the past to go to the local town to guard.
Overseas is different from domestic, no matter how they do it, the court will not care, it is to provoke the people's uprising, as long as they have the ability to settle themselves, your majesty will open one eye and close one eye, as long as they remember to pay taxes to the court. ”
He Qiu didn't lie to them when he said this, don't look at Nanyang is quite close to Daming, but He Qiu didn't think about treating those places as local operations.
In the final analysis, this time is no longer than the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago.
At that time, the Central Plains could still occupy the South Seas and operate the land.
But nowadays, most of the countries in Nanyang are green religions, with their own unique culture and beliefs, and if they want to become local, it takes too much energy and a lot of investment.
For the time being, relocating a group of former soldiers who can protect themselves is probably the best choice.
As long as the Ming Dynasty persistently moves people to Nanyang and slowly educates, it is thought that Nanyang can be consolidated little by little, but this time is probably a hundred years long.
Not to mention that He Qiu didn't want to engage in genocide, he was very inclined to keep the land and not the people.
But this matter does not conform to the consistent values of the Ming Dynasty, and if you really say it to the court, I am afraid that you will be sprayed to death by hundreds of officials, and I am afraid that there are not many generals in front of you who can agree with it.
