Chapter 157: Cavalry descended from the sky, fearing power but not virtue! Sweet potatoes and potatoes are so close!
"The city boss has bought half a boatload of imperial rice, and I plan to hand it over to Zhuqing to cultivate and breed with heart."
"I plan to set up an agricultural research institute under the Agricultural Bureau, which will be used to cultivate, propagate and promote new crops."
"What do you think?"
The courtiers were suspicious of the Imperial Rice General.
But in that strange dream that the emperor said, imperial rice was the main source of food for the people's livelihood.
"Your Majesty, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and it doesn't hurt to set up an agricultural research institute."
Ye Sheng came out of the class and said: "However, the minister thinks that it should not be limited to the development of new crops, but also the cultivation of old crops to make crops high, and asked the Agricultural Bureau to compile a book of agriculture, so that the people of the world can cultivate according to the methods in the book." ”
"Ye Qing is right, the Agricultural Bureau should compile a book while researching and spreading it to the world."
Zhu Qiyu bowed his head: "But Lang Zhong of the Agricultural Bureau is still vacant, so let Xue Qing take care of Lang Zhong of this Agricultural Research Institute first, and then transfer to the center when he finds a suitable candidate." ”
Actually, he is more optimistic about Yu Zijun.
Yu Zijun is a Jinshi in the second year of Jingtai, and now he is a member of the household department in Fujian, honest and talented.
Some time ago, Zhu Qiyu watched his Beijing inspection assessment, and it was all superior.
High hopes are placed on this person.
In the music handed over by Yu Zijun, he wrote his expectations for him.
intended to transfer him to Beijing, but Yu Zijun rejected the emperor's good intentions, and wanted to stay up in the local area to get enough qualifications and then enter the center.
He wrote in his reply to the chapter: There are many bandits and thieves in Fujian, and His Majesty should send troops to Fuzhou to deter Xiaoxiao, and according to the people who fled, the soil of the Penghu Inspection Department is fertile, and it grows two to three times a year, and he asked the emperor to reinstate the Penghu Inspection Department and recover Penghu.
He wrote a lot in the letter, which shows that he is really rooted in the people in Fujian.
Zhu Qiyu also wants to recover the Penghu Inspection Division, but the offshore sea is blocked by pirates, even if he sends people up, he is alone, which is irresponsible.
It is better to wait for the Ming Navy to become stronger, and then recover Penghu and set Penghu as Baozhou.
"Zhuqing, whoever has research and interest in crops, go to the palace to get a royal rice plant and go home to breed."
Zhu Qiyu stood up: "Those who have successfully cultivated imperial rice will be given a silver talisman!" ”
"No matter how many people succeed in cultivating, I will give the silver talisman together!"
Only with interests can people progress.
Don't talk about feelings, hurt money.
Went down.
Zhu Qiyu returned to the Qianqing Palace, and on the way, Feng Xiao handed over Yu Qian's recital.
"Sure enough, the Tatars just want to take advantage!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "This Mandulu also dares to open a lion mouth, to open a horse market in Jingfengkou, and to buy 100,000 Tatar horses every year." ”
"Horse market, isn't it just a disguised New Year's coin!"
"A horse costs a hundred taels of silver, and it's all quilted. Castrate. Cut horses. ”
"The good horses bred by the Daming Horse Farm, the price is about fifty taels, after hundreds of years of breeding, there is no shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty."
"Why pay double the price to buy a horse from outside the city?"
"Isn't it just giving people New Year's coins?"
"Because the Xuande Dynasty used the horse market to control the Mobei trade, the Wara people flipped the table and sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, so there was the defeat of Tumubao."
"Now that the Tatars have just been unified, they will immediately come to blackmail the Ming Dynasty."
"Isn't it just treating Daming as a soft persimmon!"
"Is my Ming so weak?"
Zhu Qiyu got off the imperial chariot and entered the Qianqing Palace with a snort: "Feng Xiao, Huaien, what do you think?" ”
Huai En glanced at Feng Xiao and didn't dare to speak first.
"Emperor, the slave maid thought that she should agree directly."
Feng Xiao said with a smile: "Emperor, the top priority is to make the Tatars retreat, as long as the Tatars retreat, Yu Taibao can enter Liaodong and repel the Karaqin Department, which is a sure thing." ”
"When the time comes, we will simply not admit it."
"Let's see if the Tatars dare to fight!"
"Without the Karaqin Department to contain Liaodong Town, even if he has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Tatar, Daming is not afraid of him!"
"If the Ming generals pile up in Jizhou Town, they dare to come, we can leave the Tatars behind and let the Tatars fall apart again!"
Feng Xiao said domineeringly.
But it's true.
The elite of the Ming Dynasty are scattered all over the place, so they can't clench into a fist and attack decisively.
As long as the Karaqin Department is defeated, Liaodong Town and Jizhou Town are connected, and Yu Qian's Jingying is in charge and commanded, Tatar is not an opponent at all.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Huaien.
Huai En was embarrassed, what he wanted to say was preempted by Feng Xiao.
But this is the order of the Qianqing Palace, and Feng Xiao will always be in front of anyone.
"Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids think that the Tatars may not be easy to deceive, so it is better to buy a large number of horses, cattle and sheep from the Tatars."
"Weapons and Tatars in exchange."
"Pay for a batch of weapons first, and raise the rest slowly."
"When the Karaqin Department is repelled, the remaining weapons will no longer be supplied, and cattle, horses and sheep will become the pockets of the Ming Dynasty."
"The Tatars went south to plunder, but they didn't get anything, and they were also pitted by Daming."
"Mandulu's sweat will inevitably shake."
"Tatar is falling apart again, just around the corner."
Wynne said with a wicked smile.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, there is really room for maneuver in this kind of thing.
The Tatars must have coveted the weapons produced by the Ming Dynasty.
If you give him some sweetness, he agrees to trade cattle, horses and sheep for weapons, and after a few transactions to establish credibility, ask the Tatars to pay the cattle, horses and sheep first.
For the Ming Dynasty, cattle, horses and sheep are strategic materials, and for the Mobei tribes, it is rations, grass in people's hands, and treasures in our hands.
As long as the cake is well drawn, the tartar will definitely take the bait.
The most important thing is that Daming has established a good reputation in the market over the years, and all the tribes in Mobei trust Daming.
Anyway, Da Ming couldn't run, and if he dared to cheat, he led his troops to attack him until he spit out twice and three times the things.
"You're both right."
Zhu Qiyu pondered which of the DPRK and China is a debater, a diplomat like Zhang Yi and Wang Xuance.
"Emperor, the slave and maid are willing to recommend themselves and send envoys to Tatar!" Wynne fell to his knees.
He is very talented, and after a few years in the inner study hall, he is familiar with the scriptures and meanings, and he has served the emperor for half a year, and he has read all the books that the emperor has read, and he has benefited a lot.
Those books have been annotated by the scholars, which is equivalent to saying that the ancient books were broken and crumpled, and fed to the emperor's mouth.
The emperor studied, and he studied.
His knowledge grew by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, his position in the Qianqing Palace is very embarrassing, although he has been reused by the emperor, he has never shared hardships with the emperor, and he is separated by a layer after all.
No matter how strong his ability is, he will always be just a shadow of Feng Xiao.
The emperor's most trusted eunuch is Feng Xiao after all, and how long he serves in the Qianqing Palace, he has to boil Feng Xiao to death before he can ascend to the throne.
This is the reason why Qin Chang, Dong Ci and others would rather make some achievements outside than go back to the palace to serve.
Feng Xiao is here, and they will have no future.
Fortunately, today's emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he does a lot of things at the same time, otherwise these favored eunuchs have to be torn up first for the sake of authority.
This person, as long as he is idle, there will be no upward motivation, and when the infighting starts, it will not be extinguished, and the endless cycle of infighting will always be infighting.
Therefore, Huai En knows that there is no day when he will come out in the palace, so he will save the country and go to the palace to do practical things, so that he can still be relied on by the emperor, and he will still be able to tilt the power of the government and the opposition.
This is the advantage of the emperor's majestic strategy, there are many opportunities, and the probability of coming out is high, there is no need to hang yourself from a tree.
The most important thing is that the emperor is powerful enough, ruthless, and desperate enough, and no one dares to fight among themselves.
Therefore, the infighting will be temporarily put to rest.
When the day comes when the emperor is no longer ambitious, it will be time for infighting.
Zhu Qiyu showed a pleased smile on his face: "Huaien, courage is commendable!" ”
"Serving in the Qianqing Palace!"
"You are slaves and maids in front of me, but in the eyes of the world, you have unparalleled resources."
"The Prime Minister's Concierge Seventh Rank Officer."
"Your quality is not low!"
"However, I hope that you can all become capable talents, contribute to the Ming Dynasty, become a eunuch praised by the world, and not waste a game with my master and servant."
"I have always been eclectic to reduce talents, as long as you wait for talented people who want to go out and do things, tell me that I will give you a chance;"
"If you have a novel idea, if you can give me advice, just say it, and I will listen."
"I hope you will learn from Huai'en, so you can recommend yourself, take the initiative to ask for help, and do something for the world!"
"Let me be proud of you!"
"At that time, I will grant you all the rewards you want!"
Zhu Qiyu praised: "Huaien, you go to Honglu Temple to pick people, and go on the road as soon as possible, how many bamboo poles you can knock depends on your ability." ”
"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for his kindness." Wynne's eyes were shining.
The emperor publicly praised him, as long as this errand was done beautifully, he could ascend to the sky in one step, although he was not the emperor's subordinate, but he could rely on his ability to rise to the top.
"I'm in Beijing, waiting for your good news." Zhu Qiyu very much hopes that Huai En can make some achievements, and he, the master, also has a light on his face.
Send Wynne away.
Zhu Qiyu began to dispose of the chapter, and suddenly thought of something: "Feng Xiao, who is in charge of receiving the guards of the royal palaces in Beijing?" ”
"Back to the emperor, you have appointed Nan Hebo." Feng Xiao replied.
"The selected soldiers will be distributed to Zhu Yi and Zhu Yong first, so that they will set off first, Guangxi is afraid that it will be in turmoil."
Because Xue Xuan played four concertans in a row, he was very hurried.
"Spread the edict Fang Ying, to speed up, the soldiers who have not arrived can wait, and give priority to selecting a group of strong men from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion to enter Guangxi first."
"Slave obeys!" Feng Xiao went to deliver the message.
Zhu Qiyu continued to dispose of the recital.
"Emperor, those two Yi people are still kneeling outside the palace, when will they see you?" Feng Xiao asked while adding tea.
"Wait until I've finished reading the recital."
After looking at it for a while, Zhu Qiyu suddenly frowned: "What does Kou Shen mean by this movement?" There are traces of a large force of cavalry outside the town of Gansu? Is it the Dzungar Ministry? ”
He stood up and looked at the map: "What will be the target of Dzungaria?" ”
Looking at Kou Shen's recital repeatedly, Kou Shen described the cavalry as ghostly, the horses were thin and tired, as if they had fled, hurrying through Jiayu Pass.
But because it was dark at night, he didn't see it clearly, and he didn't dare to open the city to check, but he just sent a probe horse, and it fell far away, and this cavalry didn't seem to have the intention of attacking Jiayuguan.
Wrong.
Although the Dzungar Department is nomadic in Hami and rushes to Jiayuguan, everyone should be in good spirits, how can people be sleepy and tired?
I really can't think of a reason.
"Send this piece to the lecture hall, so that the old generals can see who the enemy is outside the gate?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't think of a clue.
"Send a decree to the northwest border pass, guard the pass, and don't go out hunting without an edict."
The so-called hunting is to go out of the customs to fight the autumn wind.
This is approved by the emperor, Xifan and the small tribe are unlucky, who means that there are no men in the army?
Driven by interests, all of them are as brave as tigers, and there is no war at the border.
The reputation of Daming's "soft persimmon" is collapsing in the hearts of herdsmen, who thought they were robbers, but honest people grabbed it more ruthlessly than robbers.
"Slave obeys!"
Feng Xiao knelt down, holding the concert in Zhu Qiyu's hand with both hands, trotted out of the hall, sent someone to deliver the concerto, and then sent someone to deliver the decree.
Then he turned back: "Emperor, did you say that the cavalry that Lord Kou saw could be the cavalry marching east?" From the West? ”
"How?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
He also felt very strange.
Kou Shen should have a second letter to be delivered, and he will continue to investigate.
The cavalry was not marching fast, and there should have been old men, women, and children in the middle, so the march was slow, and there was time to probe.
"Emperor, the slave maid heard an old thing from the people in the palace, in the Yongle period, there was a big western country called Timur country."
"According to the records of Lord Chen Cheng, he has made several missions to the country, and the monarch of his country submitted to the Ming Dynasty in the early years and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty for many years."
"Later, he was extremely disrespectful to Daming, and even threatened to send troops to fight."
"The slave maid heard from the palace people that in the Yongle Dynasty, Emperor Taizong sent people to Timur to collect tribute for many years, but Timur Khan actually insulted Emperor Taizong as a 'pig khan' and refused to pay."
"Timur led a large army to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty that year, but as a result, this Timur died of an unexpected illness on the road, resulting in the end of this expedition without a problem, and my dynasty only knew about Timur's expedition many years later."
"Even if he dares to come, Emperor Taizong will only be happy, and use a great victory that shocks the past and the present to tell Timur about the strength of the Ming Dynasty."
Feng Xiao said this, his tone was full of pride.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "I also know about this, what does it have to do with this cavalry?" ”
"Slaves and maids think that prosperity must decline."
"The Mongols are good at fighting, but they are also very good at fighting."
"The slave maid thought that if the Timurid monarch died on the road to the east, his kingdom would inevitably fall apart due to the struggle of the heirs."
"Now, nearly fifty years later, the Timurid Khanate is exhausted by the civil war."
Feng Xiao saw that Huai En was praised, and he also wanted to show it: "So the slave maid guessed that this cavalry was probably running from the west to Mobei and trying to attach to the branch of the Timurid State in Mobei." ”
Hear Feng Xiao's speculation.
Combined with Kou Shen's recital, it is clear.
The people were sleepy and the march was slow, both because of women and children, and because they were not familiar with the road.
On the contrary, it makes sense.
"I also remember that this Timurid Khanate was once attached to the Ming Dynasty and made many pilgrimages to the Ming Dynasty."
"Later it was unified by an ambitious monarch, this Timurid Khan."
"Chen Cheng's Records of the Western Regions recorded that this Timur's prosperity was powerful, and he devoted a lot of space to describing Timur's prosperity."
"According to the archives of the Yongle Dynasty, Timur was ambitious and led 700,000 people to the east to conquer the Ming Dynasty, trying to restore the glory of the Great Yuan, but because the monarch Timur died of an unexpected illness and died of illness."
"There is some truth in your guess, this cavalry may really be the cavalry of the Timurid Khanate!"
"People are sleepy and tired, like ghosts, and they do look a little like each other!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Feng Xiao, send someone to pass the decree to Kou Shen, no, to all the governors along the northwest route, and immediately send someone to contact this cavalry!" ”
"Let Kou Shen figure out the direction of the operation of this cavalry, and let Fan Guang be ready to go out of the loop at any time and contact this cavalry!"
"If it is really a branch of the Timurid Khanate, which traveled east to escape the civil war, then their attachment to Warat is the same as their attachment to the Ming Dynasty!"
"According to what is written in Kou Shen's chapter, this cavalry is estimated to have tens of thousands, and there are at least about 100,000 women and children."
"Send someone to contact, if you can naturalize the Ming Dynasty, it will be a great achievement!"
Zhu Qiyu paced back and forth excitedly: "Go quickly, announce the important ministers of the cabinet department, and see how to make them belong to the Ming Dynasty." ”
He was really greedy, hungry for the combat effectiveness of this cavalry.
Today's Ming Dynasty is not short of money and food, and there is a shortage of soldiers, and the main problem is that the troops are scattered, which leads to the inability to clench into a fist.
If there are suddenly tens of thousands of cavalry, it can completely support the northwest defense line.
At that time, we will be able to transfer troops to Liaodong.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
At this time, the important ministers of the cabinet hurriedly came and entered the palace to salute.
Zhu Qiyu briefly described it and showed the transcript of Kou Shen's recital to the cabinet ministers.
"Your Majesty means that this is an ownerless cavalry?"
Hu Hu repeatedly considered Kou Shen's words, but Kou Shen was vague, and he could only guess.
"Your Majesty wants to take advantage?" Hu Hu was blunt.
"Cavalry descended from heaven, wouldn't it be a waste of heaven's good intentions if you didn't collect it?" Zhu Qiyu admitted with a smile that he wanted to take advantage.
What is the glory of the Heavenly Empire, he doesn't care, he wants to benefit.
"Your Majesty is right to ask you to find out."
"If it is really the cavalry of the Timurid Khanate, it can be naturalized."
"But did Your Majesty ever think that an alien cavalry would completely become a Ming man?"
Hu Hu spoke very slowly, thinking as he spoke.
"It's difficult, there are Duoyan Sanwei in the distance, and there are Warat and Tatar in the near, all of them are wolf ambitions!"
"Fear of power but not virtue."
"When the Ming Dynasty is strong, they are as honest as kittens and dogs, and once the Ming is weak, they will show their wolf nature."
"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different."
Zhu Qiyu didn't trust them.
Daming has suffered too much.
"Then what should Your Majesty do with this combat power after receiving it?" Hu Hu is thinking from the political level.
Previously, Zhu Qiyu considered it from the military level.
"Use its people, consume the Warat soldiers, and finally the ice and snow melt and disappear." Zhu Qiyu said it tactfully.
In fact, it is to let them eat dogs and drain the last drop of blood.
"Your Majesty, let his dog eat the dog, it's a domesticated dog."
"This Timurid Khanate has long had disrespect for the Ming Dynasty."
"Although it is a branch of refugees, its heart is for the people."
"How can we be tricked into going dog-eat-dog with their kind?"
Hu Hu was very unconfident: "Your Majesty wants to raise a dog for ten years, and then use a dog?" ”
"Of course not! My money and food are not enough to feed my own people, how can I raise a group of aliens? ”
Zhu Qiyu didn't have a good impression of this Timurid Khanate.
Dare to scold the Pig Khan?
Sooner or later, I will level your kingdom and destroy your species!
"Two military forces, in the same city, but they are guarding against each other in their hearts, how can they work together and unite with the outside world?" Hu Hu asked rhetorically.
What he meant was that if Duoyan Sanwei could be used by Emperor Taizong, it was a dog that Emperor Taizu began to raise, and it was used by Emperor Taizong when it was raised.
But in the end, it's not the dog that bites the owner.
He believed that this cavalry was combat power, but they guarded against each other, and their combat effectiveness could not be brought into play.
Zhu Qiyu was depressed: "Old lady, I am greedy for this cavalry." ”
"We have it too, but the forces are scattered and can't be clenched into a fist."
"Now that I am being bullied by the Karaqin Department to the doorstep, I am unwilling!"
"After the old lady said this, I can't settle them."
As he spoke, he was half deflated and sat in his chair, quite decadent.
Hu Hu smiled: "Your Majesty has to want this cavalry?" ”
"Does the old lady have a way?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Of course I want to!" ”
"What Daming lacks now is combat power."
"If you can draw troops from the northwest, what are the Tatars?"
"I can swallow the Karaqin tribe in one go!"
Zhu Qiyu is in high spirits.
"May I ask your majesty, do you want a watchdog or a wolf that eats people?" Hu Hu asked.
Zhu Qiyu was confused: "What is a dog?" What is a wolf? ”
"The watchdog, the strength is not strong, he can only rely on the Ming Dynasty to survive, and over time he will be tamed into an obedient dog."
"Look at how many naturalized Mongolians are in the court, don't they still serve the country?"
"The man-devouring wolf, strong and powerful, and the Ming Dynasty, have an independent pastoral area, and can cooperate with the Ming Dynasty or Mobei."
"The former Duoyan Sanwei was the wolf that devoured people."
"Your Majesty, which do you want?"
Hu Hu asked with a smile.
Does this need to be asked?
Dogs, of course!
Although the dog's strength is small, it will be loyal to Daming, and Duoyan Sanwei is indeed a strong reinforcement, but it turned out to give Daming a knife in the heart and almost stabbed Daming to death.
"Please send Xuanzhen, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, and Gansu Town to switch."
"Attack this tired cavalry!"
"Kill hard!"
"If you kill them, this cavalry will naturally become the obedient watchdog of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hu Hu is domineering and leaking.
Zhu Qiyu has seen it.
Who says that the ministers are weak!
That's the emperor is weak, so the courtiers are weak.
Look at Hu Hui's words, he is full of domineering.
I am strong, then I will be full of fierce ministers!
"Old lady, when you see blood, you have already formed a mortal enmity with Daming, will you still be willing to serve Daming?" Baekyu was a little worried.
Shi Pu, who was standing on the side, stroked his beard and laughed: "Bai Shangshu is just wrong, now the naturalized Mongolian people of the Ming Dynasty, which one of them is not afraid of being killed by the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"Even, some parents were killed by Da Ming, aren't they still obediently working for Da Ming now?"
"You go and ask them, are you willing to be the lord of the Ming Dynasty, or go to Mobei to eat sand?"
Shi Pu clapped his hands and applauded: "The old lady Fu Lao Cheng is seeking the country, he should be killed, and he is afraid of them!" Naturally, they behave as dogs! ”
"The Hu people have always been afraid of power and not virtue, so they have to be killed, and they must be killed until they are full of fear of the Ming Dynasty!"
Poof!
Sun Yuanzhen knelt on the ground: "I beg Your Majesty to give the old minister the royal talisman, the old minister is willing to go out of Beijing, lead the six towns, and tame this watchdog for Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up.
Sun Yuanzhen is a literati, but he is an authentic fierce general, and when he was young, he personally went into battle to kill the enemy.
Moreover, Sun Yuanzhen's official position is high enough, and he is the secretary of the military department.
Enough to suppress Six Towns.
If he is a good person, he can rest assured that Wang Cheng will be sent to be a prison soldier.
"Good!"
"Sun Qing's old man is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles."
"I will give the king's life talisman card, and ask Sun Yuanzhen to take charge of the seal of the general of the north, and fill the six towns of Xuan Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, and Gansu Town!"
Zhu Qiyu ordered the Military Aircraft Department to draft a decree to be printed.
"Sun Yuanzhen, Wara, I will pay it all into your hands."
"That cavalry can be beaten, surrendered, or released, everything is in your hands, I don't care!"
Zhu Qiyu put the holy decree in his hand: "The six towns are all in your hands, and the northwest of the Ming Dynasty is counting on you!" ”
"Sun Yuanzhen, this battle must be fought beautifully, and the Dzungar will flee when he hears the wind!"
"The newly resettled herdsmen in Hetao have not yet seen my Ming elite soldiers, majestic and high-spirited, let them take a look today!"
"What a correct choice to belong to the Ming Dynasty!"
These words made Sun Yuanzhen's blood surge.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, and see how the old minister subdues this cavalry!" Sun Yuanzhen is extremely confident.
He has always been unconvinced by Yu Qian, thinking that he was not in Beijing at that time, and if he was in Beijing, it would not be Yu Qian who was in the limelight.
He, Sun Yuanzhen, can also save Daming from fire and water.
"Good!"
"The household department, transfer a cadre of military supplies, and do not delay the march."
"The household department does not have enough money and food, and my internal money is out!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes burned.
"Wechen obeys!" Geng Jiuchou bowed.
Sun Yuanzhen bowed to thanksgiving.
He ordered Sun Yuanzhen to leave the palace quickly, and simply prepared to leave Beijing at night, and rushed to the border town as fast as possible to intercept this cavalry as soon as possible.
"Old lady, where do you think it should be placed?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Hu Hule was happy, the emperor was too anxious to do things.
It is not advisable to be in a hurry, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
But the emperor wants to eat hot tofu.
"Gansu is too desolate and barren to the west, and I am afraid that people will not be happy to settle here."
Hu Hu slowly walked to the map, and said thoughtfully: "Even if you are willing, sandwiched between the West and the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be repeated, and it is not suitable to be placed." ”
"The Mongolian people have the same root and the same origin as Timur, even if these Dingkou are killed by the Ming Dynasty and placed outside the Saiwai, the old ministers are worried about their defection."
His gaze moved upward: "Your Majesty doesn't want to expand Liaodong." ”
"It just so happens that Liaodong is a chronicle of the Five Kingdoms, containing each other and balancing each other, if this cavalry is placed here."
"The Tatars, who are related to them by blood, after being taught a lesson by the Ming Dynasty this time, will not dare to attack the border pass again for a while, so naturally they will not dare to collude with them."
"Uliangha, Jurchen and Korea are too strange to the people of the Timurid Khanate, and they are not as close as the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty is not worried, how to defend 100,000 troops in Siping City?"
"Isn't this a big army sent by heaven, so this cavalry is placed here, Siping City."
Worthy of an old monster.
Hu Hu thought about everything.
Kill several birds with one stone.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to collect the Wuliangha people and take back the slave Gandusi.
Suffering from not having enough strength.
Hu Hui directly placed this cavalry here, entering the school of fish like a catfish, and the advantage was tilting in the direction of Daming.
"There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the old lady is really the Dinghai God Needle of the country, and I can't lack the old lady every day."
Zhu Qiyu was sincerely admired.
"Your Majesty has praised it." Hu Hu stroked his beard and smiled.
If it's bad, it depends on the reader.
After a few more conversations, he sent them away.
Zhu Qiyu continued to dispose of the recital.
There are disasters everywhere.
Just like the current Jingshi, it is still drizzling outside, and the sky is overcast.
"Feng Xiao, what time is it today?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly raised his head and asked.
"Back to the emperor, it's May 27 today."
"It's about to be spring, can any of the generals in the king's mansion go to Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Feng Xiao asked people to get the file and came to the conclusion that none of them arrived.
"Humph!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered twice: "It's all playing tricks with me, waiting for the first day of the sixth month, preparing a table of wine banquets, how is King Zheng's dance practice?" Urge him to practice as soon as possible, and the banquet happens to be dancing for me. ”
"Slave obeys!" Feng Xiao was worried in his heart, the emperor was going to beat people again.
On the day of the first watch, the movement was disposed of.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked around, walking in the courtyard, and suddenly remembered something: "Those two Yiren are still kneeling outside the palace?" ”
"Back to the emperor, you didn't see them, so you were naturally kneeling." Feng Xiao's face was full of course.
But he didn't know that Yiren's knees would not bend.
Cute little Yiren, will he learn to squat strangely to go to the toilet because he has been kneeling for a day?
"Xuan in."
"Emperor, the palace gate has been locked, there is no major incident, please don't open the door."
Feng Xiao didn't think so, Yiren can see the face of heaven, it is already a blessing for three lives, let alone kneel for a day, let them kneel to death, that is all right.
"I said I wanted to see you."
Feng Xiao shook his head: "Emperor, for the sake of such a filthy Yiren, how can you open the palace gate at will?" They don't deserve it! ”
"That's it, just let them kneel, I will go down tomorrow morning, and then I will see them."
Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the Ming Dynasty was the real Heavenly Empire, and Fanbang was killed by the Ming people, all in vain.
"Emperor Shengming." Feng Xiao kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu began to exercise, practiced for half an hour, went to the bath with a stinky sweat, and only rested after bathing.
The next day the morning came.
On the way back to the Qianqing Palace: "Emperor, those two Yiren fainted. ”
"Why is it so bothered? I have only knelt for a night, wake up, announce in, I will see them first, and then I will review the chapter. ”
When Zhu Qiyu went down to the imperial chariot, the light rain also stopped.
He wandered around the courtyard before entering the hall, the hall was very damp, the robe was sticky, Tan Yunxian mixed him with dampness medicinal tea.
At this time, two Yiren who walked in a very strange manner, with a resentful expression and water stains on their faces, walked in.
Is this the hospitality of the Ming Emperor?
"Bow!" The little eunuch told them.
They were taught etiquette before entering the palace, but they only knew a little Chinese, so the posture of prostrating was not standard at all.
It wasn't until Licheng that Zhu Qiyu slowly spoke: "Which country are you waiting for?" ”
It didn't make them even better.
"Back to Your Majesty, we are Franc Machine." He spoke broken Chinese and needed a translator.
Siyi Pavilion has translators from all over the world, and even during the Taizu period, Guozijian had to learn Thai Western, and the Ming Jinshi were all all-rounders.
"What treasures have you offered in Beijing?"
The two Yi people were stunned, you didn't even ask our name, you asked for things first, are you the stupid Ming Emperor in the mouth of the merchants?
Shouldn't you give us a treasure directly?
"Back to His Majesty the Emperor, we have Buddhist scriptures to offer." A Yiren was holding a box, and when it was opened, it was a true scripture inside.
It is the translation of the Bible.
During the Tang Dynasty, Jingjiao was prevalent, and there were indeed translated Bibles, but they were all destroyed in the war, and only a few words are mentioned in the classics until now.
"I don't believe in Buddhism."
Zhu Qiyu asked people to accept it: "Since you believe in Buddhism, I will give you a set of Diamond Sutras." ”
The two Yiren cried directly.
Are you the stupid Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
When we offer the sutra, you should be shocked and worship it as a god, and then you should give us a lot of gold in order to praise the messenger of God......
As a result, the return gift was a badly printed Diamond Sutra.
When this paper is turned, all the scum is dropped, can this thing be seen?
The two Yiren were a little distressed, the Bible was translated at a huge cost, although there were only the "Four Gospels", which also cost a lot of money, and they were used to enter Beijing to coax the emperor.
However, they were shrewd businessmen, and they immediately knew that the Ming Emperor was not easy to fool.
There are a lot of rules in this Ming Dynasty, so that they have been kneeling, their knees are abolished, and they are not allowed to get up, the Ming Emperor is not kind at all, his eyes are like eagles, and his voice is gloomy, which makes people frightened.
"I heard that you went ashore to trade? Who allowed it? Zhu Qiyu asked slowly.
"Yes, yes......"
The two Yi people were also stunned, the Ming Dynasty forbade the sea, and the Yi people were not allowed to go ashore.
How did they get ashore?
"Go ashore without permission, drag it out, and whip twenty lashes!" Zhu Qiyu is going to give them a dismount.
These merchants, all of them are goblins, and they play tricks with them, and he, the emperor, is no opponent.
Then stand up first, and draw them to be afraid.
"Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!"
The two Yiren cried and were dragged down and whipped.
After twenty whips, the two of them were dying, I really didn't expect that they were invited by Eunuch Liu Yu to the Ming Dynasty to worship the Son of Heaven, who would have thought that they would almost be whipped to death.
Emperor Ming is poisonous!
The phrase kept echoing in their heads.
"I ask you again, what country are you from?" Looking at their miserable appearance, Zhu Qiyu slowly spoke.
"Franc machine, Franc machine ......"
It seems that he is not lying.
"What's their name?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
One was called Ridot and the other was Armas.
"That's the name, heh, my dogs won't be called that."
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "What is the purpose of you going ashore?" ”
"Do business, I want to make money." The two Yiren really cried, this Daming was so terrible that he would never come again.
"What kind of business?"
"Sell something, and sell whatever makes money." The two people replied tremblingly.
"And what's the deal with the calluses on your hands?"
Zhu Qiyu asked people to pull out the hands of the two Yiren, and the eunuch knew that this was the hand holding the knife as soon as he touched it.
"I'm a retired crew member, and I want to do something on my own, so I bought a ship with my brother and followed the fleet to Daming......" Amaz put everything away.
Franco, in fact, is the Ming Dynasty's combined name for Spain and Portugal.
If they were a crew, they should have been to the Americas!
Zhu Qiyu asked quietly: "When you were soldiers, where did you go?" ”
"Just drifting on the sea, transferring some goods, and making some hard-earned money...... "Amath is obviously fooling Zhu Qiyu.
If you exchange daily necessities for silver with Native Americans, and call it hard-earned money, then there is no more wasteless business in the world.
"It's not easy to live at sea, come, chop off his hand." Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
"Ahh
Amath desperately retracted, and kept shaking his head: "Your Majesty the Emperor spares your life, spare your life!" ”
This job is familiar to the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace.
Feng Xiao asked the people from Honglu Temple to translate to him: "Tell him, be obedient, it doesn't hurt." ”
"Don't!" When Amaz saw the eunuch come in with a sword, he was pressed down by four eunuchs, and his hands were trampled on, and he was about to leave his wrist.
"How dare you deceive me?"
Zhu Qiyu's tone was cold: "Cut!" ”
"I didn't lie to His Majesty the Emperor!" Amath tried to retreat, but the eunuch's sword had already fallen.
One finger leaves the palm.
Amaz fainted in pain.
Ridod was almost scared to death, and he was extremely glad that it wasn't him.
"Say it again!" Zhu Qiyu thinks that they must be digging for silver in the Americas.
In fact, if they really dig silver in the Americas, how can they go to Daming to do business?
At this time, Spain only discovered the New World, and did not discover large silver mines, let alone mined silver.
"We are engaged in the slave trade! Human trafficking! Amaz broke down and wept.
"Earn money?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Amath kept nodding, in fact, he was still selling his own people in Spain, which was the tooth shop of the Ming Dynasty.
"I'm just a sailor, and all I get is money...... "Amaz said of the human trafficking business.
Zhu Qiyu actually felt ridiculous, and Amath felt that he was doing a big thing, trafficking in human beings, and it sounded domineering, but in fact, it was not as popular as the Daming Jingshi's tooth shop.
Silver, also silver in Spain, is not a silver mine that has been dug up.
Isn't that right, the Spaniards haven't discovered silver in the Americas?
"Where have you been on the sea?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"In the early years, he drifted at sea, and then he drifted to a barbarian place, and the captain established a route to and from this place for trade."
"They are short of daily necessities, so we sell them daily necessities in exchange for local products."
"The imperial rice that Gonggong Liu presented to you came from the trade."
And the Armath were all recruited.
That is, the Spaniards did not discover silver mines in the Americas?
Since it is a new world, it should belong to the Ming Dynasty, anyway, no silver mines were found, and the Taixi countries did not know, so they simply occupied the Ming Dynasty first and made a fortune secretly.
"What other plants?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"This ......" he didn't want to say, because he saw Liu Yu spend a boatload of silk to buy a sunflower.
So they also want to sell for a good price.
"Chop!"
A flash of blood.
Amaz wanted to die.
"And the red whirl, eating very sweet things;"
"There is also a crop that looks like a ball and eats sweetly;"
"There is also a kind of red that grows on the trees and eats particularly spicy ......"
Ridod recruited them all.
He's afraid of being chopped off.
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers!
That's it!
Zhu Qiyu immediately stood up: "Do you have these crops in your hands?" ”
Ridod shook his head, but saw the killing intent in the emperor's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, there is one on our ship, but in the hands of our captain, we are just a crew, and it doesn't matter if we say it." ”
"Captain?"
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Bring Liu Yu here, quickly!" ”
"Is Zhu Yi out of Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao.
"Back to the emperor, I'm already out of Beijing."
"Send the holy decree and order him to lead his troops to arrest this captain, quick!"
"At all costs, take back everything on his ship to me without moving!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were blazing: "If you don't bring back the crop, or if the crop dies, he, Zhu Yi, will commit suicide and apologize!" ”
"Go and preach! Fast! ”
I really didn't expect that sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers were so close!
I should have seen these two people last night!
That way, you'll get sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers a day earlier.
With these three sharp weapons, the opportunity to unify Mobei has come!
"Why haven't you gone to deliver the decree yet?" Zhu Qiyu glared at Feng Xiao angrily.
Feng Xiao hurriedly kowtowed: "Emperor, what is the captain's name?" What does it look like? The slave doesn't know anything! ”
Zhu Qiyu patted his head and pointed at Ridod: "He's honest, take him and catch the captain." ”
"Tell Zhu Yi that it's okay to buy, and I'm willing to pay any price!"
"No matter what method you use, you have to get your hands on that boatload of things, no matter what it takes!"
"You, Ridot, right?"
"If I can make this business happen, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold!"
A hint of greed flashed in Ridod's eyes.
But it was disguised for the emperor to see.
As long as he is out of the Ming Dynasty, he will not come in this life, what gold is not gold, how can his own life be important?
But how could he hide his mind from Zhu Qiyu?
"Feng Xiao, hand over the person to Xu Gan for training."
"The people who sent the governor of the capital immediately left Beijing and went to Guangzhou City!"
"Get that shipload at all costs!"
"Go!"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to puncture his careful thoughts.
I'll have to explain it anyway.
As for the promised hundred taels of gold, everyone is dead, what is the use of asking for money?
Since it's just a crew member, I definitely don't know the direction to go to the Americas, besides, Spain is going to the Americas from the Atlantic Ocean and crossing the Pacific Ocean, don't even think about it.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Amashi slowly.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I've recruited everything, let me go!" Amaz kept kowtowing and pleading.
"Chop again!" Zhu Qiyu felt that he was still hiding something.
