"Emperor, everyone is inert."

"If you buy so much grain, whether it is the center or the locality, even the common people, I am afraid that they will start to relax in the matter of farming."

After the courtiers retreated, Feng Xiao said: "When inertia is formed, how many people will cultivate with their hearts?" ”

"What if Zhongnan no longer sells grain to Daming? Or, Siam and other countries became independent from the territory of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"How should Da Ming deal with himself then?"

Feng Xiao's concern is very reasonable.

Well, if you have a stutter, you don't want to move, and without a small leather whip, human beings will not progress.

"Feng Xiao, if you can think of this, it means that you have improved."

Zhu Qiyu said: "A generation has a generation, and I must first solve the problem of food and clothing in the Ming Dynasty." ”

This is the inevitable result of the development of things, and Zhu Qiyu is helpless.

This is the reason why people are not as good as the next, the better the life is, the worse the people are, and finally the whole world is rotten.

But we should not give up the motivation to do things because of the consequences that may be foreseen.

"It's the slave who talks a lot." Feng Xiao pleaded guilty.

"No, you're right."

"These problems are bound to happen."

"In fact, there will be a problem, when the food is full, the people's minds will no longer be on farming, they will have other ideas, and it will be difficult to rule."

"This is also the reason why Emperor Taizu wants to tie the people of the Ming Dynasty to the land."

Zhu Qiyu's voice was low: "But I am the father of the people of the world, and I can't forcibly fool the people for my own selfishness, it's time for the Ming Dynasty to change." ”

"Invite Xing Guogong here, prepare another table of wine and banquet, and I will talk to Xing Guogong."

He wanted to appease Yu Qian and let Yu Qian give him his life with peace of mind.

And the emperor's moves, Yu Qian naturally saw it in his eyes, the emperor asked him to guard the Jingshi, and at the same time laid a cocoon, trapped him in the Jingshi, and let him be a courtier obediently.

In the afternoon, Yu Qian entered the palace to pay a visit.

His work this year is to train sailors, and nearly a year has passed, and it has achieved initial results.

"Xing Guogong is here?"

Zhu Qiyu put down the concerto: "Let's go, I'm hungry, drink two cups with me." ”

Yu Qian was pulled by the emperor and walked into the dining hall.

A hearty table of roast meats is ready.

Yu Qian's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the chili peppers treasured in the palace on the plate, he immediately became fond of it.

Zhu Qiyu let the eunuch be waved away, and he came to roast it himself, Yu Qian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"Let's all go down, I will talk to Xing Guogong."

Send all the palace people down, and only the emperor and Yu Qian are left in the entire dining hall.

"Get up, at the dinner table, there are not so many rules, no courtesy, no kneeling."

Zhu Qiyu used chopsticks to flip the meat slices on the baking sheet, and the grilled ones were sandwiched into Yu Qian's plate first.

Yu Qian was a little frightened.

"Xing Guogong, my arrangement is a little ridiculous in my eyes, right?" Zhu Qiyu put a slice of beef on Yu Qian's plate.

Yu Qian almost bit his tongue and was about to kneel.

"Sit down and talk to me."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I don't know when I started to become so suspicious. ”

"You and the old lady helped me to ascend the throne and made great achievements."

"It's only been ten years, and I've been on guard against you."

"Even, sitting on that dragon chair, I feel like I am sitting on pins and needles every day, and my suspicions are getting worse and worse."

Yu Qian listened to the emperor talking to himself, his eyes flashing.

"Xing Guogong, I don't know when I started, and I don't believe in anyone anymore."

Zhu Qiyu put the roasted beef, mutton, pork, potato chips, and sausages on Yu Qian's plate.

Yu Qian's plate is piled up like a mountain.

And in his own plate, it is empty.

Yu Qian's hand holding the chopsticks was placed on the table, motionless.

"Am I sick?" Zhu Qiyu stopped his chopsticks and looked at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian wanted to kneel.

"Sit, today is a family banquet, I and you, not outsiders."

Zhu Qiyu continued to flip the meat on the baking sheet: "Xing Guogong, the original me, is this so?" ”

"Your Majesty is very affectionate and healthy, how can there be any disease?" Yu Qian saw it clearly, the emperor was not sick, and these words were to calm his heart.

"Don't talk clichés, tell me the truth, Yu Qian, what do you think?"

The charcoal fire was too fierce, and the meat on the baking tray was cooked again, and Zhu Qiyu sandwiched it on his plate.

Wrap the dipping sauce, put it in your mouth and take a bite, and nodded gently: "I baked it myself, it tastes good." ”

"Your Majesty is just guarding against the ministers, not killing the ministers, it is already a grace of heaven!"

Yu Qian said seriously: "The minister knows that His Majesty is not afraid of the minister's high merits, but he can't see through the minister. ”

"However, the minister's mind is pure, as long as it is good for the Ming Dynasty, the minister is willing to do it, and he will not hesitate to die!"

Is it?

Zhu Qiyu pointed to his plate: "Eat, it tastes better with a slice of garlic." ”

However, the emperor did not eat garlic.

Because of the taste of garlic and the breath, the gentleman attaches great importance to his appearance, and Yu Qian does not eat it.

But the emperor said that he added a slice of garlic to the meat slice and put it in his mouth, but he couldn't eat the garlic flavor, and he was thinking about the emperor's deep meaning in his heart.

Look, this is the current Yu Qian, he will do whatever the emperor asks him to do, but there are things hidden in his heart.

So the emperor couldn't see through him, so he was afraid of him.

"This is my country, of course I want to be good for it."

Zhu Qiyu said: "So I want to go south." ”

"I have a lot to do when I go south, Xing Guogong, can you support me?"

Here it comes!

Yu Qian's eyes were firm: "Everything Your Majesty does is for the country, and the minister is willing to give up everything and stand on His Majesty's side!" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The first thing I did when I went south was to open the sea. ”

Really!

The emperor is not going to open the sea, but to open the sea strongly, the kind of open sea that I don't know how many people will be killed!

"The second thing is the salt administration."

"I have said before that we must completely reform the salt policy, so that the people of the world can afford to eat salt, and the center will no longer rely on the salt tax to support taxes, so the salt government must be overhauled, or even completely abolished."

Yu Qian's eyelids jumped, the emperor is going to die.

"The third thing, the gentry!"

"The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River have become a behemoth."

"Even, they are starting to learn to raise their own respect, what are they going to do? Do you want to be an emperor? ”

"And the old lady is in Nanjing, motionless, so I am very dissatisfied, he doesn't dare to do anything, be a clay tire wood plastic, then I will do it."

Yu Qian swallowed his saliva, a little regretful.

This is a thousand miles away.

"Fourth, the Wako."

"Compared with the previous three things, the Japanese are just ringworm scabies."

"After the first three things are done, the Japanese will naturally disappear."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy: "Xing Guogong, will you support me?" ”

Didn't you see Hu Hu motionless?

It is clear that he does not dare to mix.

The water in Jiangnan is too deep!

The emperor goes, it is easy to drown the emperor.

"Your Majesty, can you do it one by one?" Yu Qian was a little scared.

The things that can make the Ming God of War fearful can be seen the difficulty of this matter.

There is only one emperor who can crush the gentry in Jiangnan, Emperor Taizu.

Even Emperor Taizong was forced to cooperate with the Jiangnan gentry.

The growth of the gentry in Jiangnan is inextricably linked to Emperor Taizong.

And Emperor Jingtai is about to flip the table.

"Xing Guogong, if these three things are not done, all the political achievements I have achieved are just flowers in the mirror."

"When I die, everything will be back to square one."

"So, what am I tossing?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "I don't want to be Emperor Taizong, I want to be Emperor Taizu!" ”

For the first time, Zhu Qiyu revealed his heart to outsiders!

Emperor Taizong was just a great merit obtained by compromise, but after his death, everything returned to the original point, and the descendants only had a sigh.

Only Emperor Taizu can make drastic reforms at will, not to mention the gentry in Jiangnan, the demons and monsters in the world have to bow their heads.

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's okay if you don't support it, just like the old lady, he doesn't support me, but I know in my heart that he loves me, so he doesn't support me, I understand." ”

"Your Majesty, it's too urgent." Yu Qian was helpless.

"Now, with a holy decree, I can open the sea strongly, but who will be fattened in the end?"

Zhu Qiyu asked him: "In the same way, I can reform the salt government with a holy decree, but the people are dead and the government is resting, fooling me, and returning to the original point when I die." ”

"I know everything."

"You don't have to do these things."

"As long as I am willing to believe that the people of the world have created a peaceful and prosperous world, then I will be the king of the prosperous world, and future generations will sing praises in the history books."

"But I don't want to be such an emperor!"

"I'm not afraid of failure, I'm not afraid of infamy, and I don't even want that so-called good name."

"What I want is to make the world better, even if I die, my reform, no one will die, I can continue to implement it, and if I continue to reform, I will be content!"

These words made Yu Qian hear the emperor's fear.

The emperor's fear of the Jiangnan gentry.

In fact.

Zhu Qiyu is not exaggerating at all.

The Jiangnan gentry relied on farming, and they had already swelled into the terrifying Jiangnan chaebol.

As long as the sea is opened, the Jiangnan chaebol will expand rapidly, from the Ming chaebol to the world chaebol, and the emperor will be able to manage it at that time?

Zhu Qiyu gave an order to catch it, and people ran abroad, and when the limelight passed, they returned to Daming and continued to enjoy policy benefits.

After ten or twenty years, they will be able to support a large number of officials, who will gradually occupy the center, speak for them, and finally plunder the imperial power into the hands of the chaebols.

This is how plutocratic politics is formed.

How different is this chaebol from a family?

The old Zhu family changed from the emperor to the chairman of the Ming Dynasty and the agent of the chaebol.

Zhu Qiyu will not allow it, and the Jiangnan gentry will never allow it to steal the fruits of the victory of reform!

"If I don't do it, no one can do it." Zhu Qiyu put down his chopsticks and listened to the sound of burning coals, and the needles in the hall could be heard.

Yu Qian is so talented, he naturally sees through this matter.

The family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Han Shihou of the Great Yuan, are essentially chaebols, the emperor is chosen by them, the rules of the game are set by them, and they have the final say on the rise and fall of the dynasty.

The family system, which has been eliminated from the garbage heap of history, has been transformed into plutocratic politics, and there is a tendency to resurrect it.

However, as a person with vested interests, how will Yu Qian choose?

"I am willing to follow Your Majesty to the death!" Yu Qian knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

He can indeed choose not to support it, then it is not him who stays in Beijing, and he must change to someone who has the same heart as the emperor, that is, Fan Guang.

People will start from their own interests.

Returning to the family system is not good for a lord like him.

The title is passed down from generation to generation, and it is the same as the country.

And the family is the country that can be destroyed and the family cannot die, which conflicts with the interests of the lord, in the eyes of the lord, the country is in the title, so the country is higher than the family.

Another point is that although his family is from Jiangnan, he did not participate in sea trade, and after the opening of the sea, his family is not the largest interest group, and of course there is no way to get more benefits.

Most importantly, he didn't have a choice.

The higher his merits, the less room for manoeuvre, and he either chose to support the emperor completely or choose to change the emperor.

There is no third way to choose, and his credit is too great.

"Xing Guogong get up."

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with his support: "If you don't support me, I won't do anything to you." ”

"The minister knows that His Majesty loves his minister, but as long as it is good for the Ming Dynasty, the minister is willing to go to the soup."

Of course, Yu Qian knew that the emperor would not kill the minister at this moment.

However, with the emperor's cautious personality, no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, he will not be reused.

Just like Yuan Shao's strategist Tian Feng, he will not end well sooner or later.

"If this matter fails, what will happen to me?" Zhu Qiyu said such a sentence inexplicably.

Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "It's a big deal to go back to Beijing, it's just a matter of going back to Beijing in a few years." ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Then I will implement the strictest sea ban and move all the coastal people back to the mainland!" And open up to the west, and move all the people in the south of the Yangtze River to the northwest! ”

Yu Qian couldn't help but laugh.

However, if he loses, he is afraid that he will have to change the emperor.

The gentry's counterattack was terrifying.

"Your Majesty, 100,000 troops are not enough." Since Yu Qian supports it, he must consider the problem from the perspective of the emperor.

"How is it not enough? There are also Ren Li, Wang Cheng, Li Zhen, Ou Xin, Yang Xin, Hu Feng and other troops, totaling more than 200,000. ”

Yu Qian shook his head: "Your Majesty, the army stationed in Jiangnan may not be credible. ”

Sure enough, Yu Qian and the emperor wanted to go together.

The infiltration ability of the Jiangnan gentry is too strong.

Look at the defense of Nanjing, the Japanese can attack Nanjing unknowingly, and all the guards have been infiltrated into a sieve.

Yu Qian seemed to realize something: "Your Majesty wants to transfer the Hu army south?" ”

Sun Yuanzhen placed 10,000 Hu Qi in Wanquan Division.

There are also Hu people placed in Ningxia, Rehe and other places, all of which are available.

The corners of Zhu Qiyu's mouth curled: "I can't hide anything from Xing Guogong, that's right, I want to use Hu Qi to ride and follow me south." ”

"Your Majesty, Hu Qi is easy to be bribed and will not be loyal to his life."

Yu Qian analyzed: "The longer you stay in Jiangnan, the faster Hu Qi will be infiltrated. ”

It depends on the professionals.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, the Ming Dynasty had two million soldiers, and the troops stationed in Nanjing were between 200,000 and 250,000.

And the emperor brought 100,000 people, a total of 350,000 troops to defend the emperor.

If you use a rotation system.

Every three months, blind tuning from all over the world.

No matter how powerful the Jiangnan gentry are, it is impossible to infiltrate all the soldiers in the world, right?

Moreover, there are also Korean, Hami, and Annan soldiers available.

"It's a good idea."

You can also take the opportunity to take back the military power in the hands of the Duke of Yunnan Qianguo.

The Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo were cut off, and the Duke of Qianguo submitted a petition for guilt, although it was expected, but it made the emperor unhappy.

Although the Qianguo Mansion was loyal, it was because the emperor did not touch the cake of Yunnan.

What if the emperor was to be included in the center?

Will the Duke of Qianguo still be loyal?

This matter still needs to be probed.

"Your Majesty, I think I can use more Annan, Korea, Hami soldiers, and Hu cavalry......" Yu Qian smiled and said nothing.

Let them go and fight with the gentry, and take the opportunity to consume it.

Zhu Qiyu bowed his head: "Xing Guogong supports me, which makes me have a better chance of winning." ”

"If I lose, I will be like a lost dog, and when I return to Beijing, Xing Guogong must not laugh at me."

The deep meaning of this sentence is that if the emperor is defeated, you Yu Qian will let me return to Beijing safely.

Yu Qian's heart jumped: "The minister will personally lead the army to pick up His Majesty back to Luan!" ”

"With Xing Guogong's words, I know it in my heart."

Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "I salute you." ”

The meal was eaten in a heart-wrenching manner, and the ending was perfect.

reassured Yu Qian's heart and persuaded Yu Qian's support.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Yu Qian must know what happened to Zhu Qizhen when he ascended the throne, so he would see Zhu Qizhen die.

On the afternoon of the second day of September.

Li Jin, Mao Sheng, Guo Deng and others arrived in Beijing, and the emperor gave them another edict to let them rest for a day and set off tomorrow.

It was Shu Liang who hugged Zhu Qiyu's leg and cried for a long time.

"Emperor, the slaves and maids have trained 3,732 soldiers, all of them are elites, and all of them can be loyal to the emperor!"

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied: "You are organized into a battalion alone, subordinate to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and be my pro-army." ”

The twenty-six guards of the forbidden army are not moving.

They continued to defend the central city, the imperial city, and important cities outside Beijing.

"Slave obeys!"

Feng Xiao and Shu Liang followed.

From the female medical officer in Tan Yunxian's Palace, fifty attendants were transferred, as well as students from the Chaoyang Society, all of whom were attendants.

The guards in the palace, most of the attendants, are young talents, the emperor also trained them, and also released them out, instead of the emperor, to take a look at the local situation, and then report to the emperor.

On the third day of the ninth month, nine o'clock.

The emperor's Luan drove from the Forbidden City, boarded the ship at the newly built Tonghui River port, and did not take the canal, but took Shandong, Henan, Zhongdu, Jiangsu, and arrived in Nanjing.

The fleet consisted of 3,000 ships and 2,000 warships, for a total of 5,000 ships.

The speed of the ship was slow, and the cavalry galloped along the coast, guarding the dragon ship.

Moreover, there are thirty-three dragon ships, and the foreign army does not know which one the emperor will live on, and the emperor will live in one at random.

Fan Guang was in charge of the whole army, and Guo Deng served as his deputy.

Li Jin and Mao Sheng led the cavalry on both sides of the strait.

In the harem, Concubine Tan and Concubine Hu, as well as Chen Xianzhang's daughter, Song Shuqing and the four of them were attendants, because the other concubines were pregnant and could not travel.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Princess Changde are all in the fleet.

The mighty fleet, like a flower core, surrounded the dragon boats.

It is not used to pass through Shandong by waterway normally.

The emperor just wanted to go to Shandong to have a look.

The people of Shandong settle down and start a business, and they don't close their doors at night, like a paradise, Zhu Qiyu wants to see if Zhu Ying is exaggerating.

Actually, it's more of a political signal.

Zhu Ying's superintendent work, the emperor remembered it in his heart, and let hundreds of officials in the world compete to follow suit, and the money is just to buy horse bones.

The first stop of the fleet was Tianjin.

Tianjin is the base of the water division.

From the ninth year of Jingtai began to supervise the construction, now it has been a grand view, Jingtai ten years ago, here gathered 200,000 soldiers to practice.

After six months of training, the sailors had to go from the river to the sea and adapt to the war.

Therefore, after April of the tenth year of Jingtai, the Tianjin Navy Division first cleared the water bandits along the river, and then went to sea to fight and sharpen in the Bohai Bay.

This time, the emperor toured the south and recruited 20,000 sailors to accompany him.

And in North Korea.

Wang Yue was discussing with the Jurchen Ministry.

Li Manzhu just wants to go home, he doesn't want to go south, not because he misses home, but because he is afraid of the heat.

The Jurchens are afraid of heat.

They like the cold north, they are afraid of the hot south, especially the Jurchen soldiers, who are trapped in North Korea and often cry in the barracks.

Li Manzhu was worried that the army would mutiny, so he simply let the army out.

These people went crazy and carried out massacres all over North Korea.

If Jiang Wan, Mao Zhong, and Wang Yue hadn't been squeezed at the same time, the central part of Korea would have been killed by the Jurchens.

Li Manzhu could only gather Dong Shan, Fan Cha and others to discuss together.

"Go south!"

Dong Shan said: "The decision is not in our hands, there is only one way to go south." ”

"Let's occupy here, what can Daming do to us?" Yi Chengju sneered.

Dong Shan repaid with a stupid look: "Yi Chengju, when we kill all the North Koreans, what will we eat?" With what? ”

"Besides, you let the army out to slaughter the North Koreans without authorization, which has already made the North Korean army dissatisfied."

The current Dong Shan is already full-fledged.

He was placed in the eastern part of Korea, the poorest place, and as a result, he was not attacked by the Ming army, and he took the opportunity to collect and surrender a large number of defeated Korean soldiers, and now has 30,000 troops, strong strength, and the strongest combat effectiveness.

"If you are dissatisfied, you are dissatisfied, a group of minions, do you dare to rebel?" Yi Cheng muttered.

"Shut up!"

Li Manzhu shouted angrily, four of his nine sons were killed by the Ming army, two were surrendered, and now there are only three left.

He looked at his son-in-law Fancha: "Fancha, what do you say?" ”

"I had to go south." After being driven to the east, Fancha greatly expanded its strength, and now there are 100,000 households and nearly 50,000 soldiers, but most of them are people and have not yet been established.

On the contrary, Li Manzhu had the least power, he recruited the least number of Korean soldiers, but he had the most slaves, and he turned more than 200,000 Korean people into his slaves.

Li Manzhu was quite helpless: "We can't go home again." ”

"The big husband is a family all over the world, what is the use of a family?" Dong Shan doesn't have a home anyway, he is the most single.

It's good to go to the Wa Kingdom, at least there is no Ming army chasing and spanking behind.

"Then let's go south."

Li Manzhu was very helpless: "However, the population of our tribe must be taken away, Dong Shan, you have a bright head, you go to negotiate." ”

His so-called tribal population is these North Koreans.

Li Manzhu's eighth son was also dissatisfied: "Dad, I'll talk!" ”

"You, you're talking?"

Li Manzhu looked at Dong Shan: "Strive to take Dingkou away, let's go to the Wa Kingdom and establish Dajin!" ”

Dong Shan knew very well that Li Manzhu's good sons were all dead, and there were three wastes left, which could not become a big climate, so in order to balance his son-in-law Fancha, he wooed Dong Shan.

However, Dong Shan is Fancha's own nephew.

The contradiction between two people, is it true or false? Very debatable.

Dong Shan personally led a large army, went south to Yuanshan, and then sent an envoy to negotiate with Wang Yue.

Wang Yue is worried about the North Korean population.

There are too many people in this shabby place in North Korea.

With the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, he can't afford to raise it at all.

Therefore, Dong Shan demanded that Dingkou in the garrison be taken away, and Wang Yue immediately agreed to come down, and all the population of the cities where the Jurchen tribes were stationed belonged to the Jurchens.

Wang Yue also sent someone to add one, and after the Jurchen left, only the city was left without people.

It means that the old, weak, sick and disabled, slaughtered.

Daming provided the southbound ship and could provide a part of the military rations.

The two sides reached an agreement in mid-August.

The Jurchen tribe began to carry out massacres, forcibly absorbing the population into the Jurchens, especially the Koreans who knew how to use the boat branches, and were taken in by the Jurchen tribe on a large scale.

At the beginning of September, the Jurchen tribe moved south.

Mao Zhong and Jiang Wan went south at the same time, the Jurchens let out a city, and the Ming Dynasty stationed in a city.

Sun Kefa saw it in his eyes and immediately found an opportunity.

He found Chen Shao, who was stationed in Chungju, and asked Chen Shao to transfer him a thousand cavalry.

Chen Shao led the infantry army, the Ming army used to defend the city, where did the cavalry come from?

Sun Kefa asked Chen Shao to help and borrow it from Wang Yue, preferably from Dusit's Jurchen soldiers.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Shao guessed Sun Kefa's purpose.

"Sui Amber, this is the task assigned by His Majesty."

"The Korean exiles were very cowardly and did not dare to storm the estates of the gentry."

"That's why Xia Guan thinks so."

"Anyway, the Jurchens went south, which just gave us the opportunity to purge the southern gentry, so that the whole of Korea would be completely incorporated into the Ming Dynasty."

"And this merit of annexing North Korea, you also have a share of Amber, right?"

Chen Shao frowned: "Then why don't you go directly to Wang Dufu?" ”

Sun Kefa was embarrassed and said: "Wang Governor Fu can't see the lower officials. ”

"What are you doing again?" Chen Shao knew Sun Kefa too well, and the emperor asked him to discipline Sun Kefa himself.

As a result, this Sun Kefa almost gave up the barracks, Chen Shao could only send him home, and Sun Yuanzhen hung Sun Kefa up and smoked it.

Sun Kefa didn't say.

Chen Shao's face changed: "You shouldn't attack the concubine of the king, right?" ”

"No, no, no!" Sun Kefa hurriedly shook his head.

"Really?" Chen Shao asked.

"Not really! Don't you know what kind of person I am? "Sun Kefa is a bastard, but he still has a bottom line, and he knows whose girls can't seduce.

"Alright, Ben will write a letter for you." Chen Shao believes that as long as he doesn't sleep in Wang Yue's concubine room, there is room for maneuver.

As everyone knows, Sun Kefa took the calligraphy post that Wang Yue treasured......

Wang Yue received Chen Shao's letter and scolded: "Engage in some crooked ways! ”

Chungju is located close to Chuncheon.

He agreed.

From Dusit, three thousand Jurchen soldiers were transferred to Sun Kefa for use.

Sun Kefa obtained 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, headed north in the starry night, and arrived at Pyongkang, north of Chuncheon.

This is the only way for the Jurchen tribe to go south.

"Today, start not sealing the knife! Everything you grab, all belong to you and other individuals! I don't want a copper plate from this official! ”

Sun Kefa knew that these Jurchen soldiers were consumables, and everything they gained was finally returned to Sun Kefa.

The whole army put on Jurchen clothes, broke down one manor after another, and looted and killed on a large scale.

And the Jurchen Ministry went south one after another, and when they saw that the road was broken, the whole person was stunned, was the Ming Dynasty also looting North Korea?

However, the Jurchens were attacked in many cases.

The mad Chaoren launched a suicide attack on the Jurchen Ministry.

As a result, the Koreans who were forcibly relocated by the Jurchens rebelled, and the Jurchens were forced to fight several battles, and their hands were sharply reduced, and along the way, they were even more dilapidated.

When they arrived in Busan, they took North Korea's population of 1.7 million with them, plummeting to 1.1 million.

And stationed in Busan, is the Korean Southern Army, equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's reserve army, North Korea is called the Wakan, about 60,000 or 70,000 people, all of them are sailors, all of them were incorporated by the Ming Dynasty.

After the survival of the fittest, there were 27,000 elite soldiers left, which were deployed by Gong Yongji.

Li Manzhu glanced north, boarded the transport ship, and went south to the Japanese kingdom without looking back.

They had already sent men a few times, and when they were sure that there was no danger, the army moved forward one after another, and the transports would transport the men to Tsushima Island first.

From Tsushima Island, land on Wakoku.

The news of the Jurchens going south reached Beijing.

Beijing copied a copy, along the line, and sent it to the dragon boat.

October 19.

The dragon boat arrived in Jinan Mansion, and Zhu Ying greeted the dragon boat on the shore early.

The emperor decreed, and Zhu Ying boarded the ship.

After Zhu Ying bowed, he tidied up his crown and hat, and followed the attendant to take a small boat through the huge fleet like a military formation, and then came to the dragon boat in the middle of the water.

The dragon boat was very stable, and the emperor was still reading the music from the Jingshi.

Going out on patrol, just like in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, watching the concert every day, sometimes with royal approval, sometimes praise, but there is no entertainment.

Zhu Ying bowed to the ground: "Zhu Ying, the governor of Shandong Province, asked the holy bow? ”

"I'm there."

Zhu Qiyu looked at this capable minister: "Get up, let me see, why do you have white hair?" ”

One sentence made Zhu Ying burst into tears.

The emperor didn't say anything about his merits, but he cared about his body.

"Zhu Ying, if I'm not mistaken, you're only forty-one years old this year, right?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "When you left Beijing, your head was full of black hair and your spirit was burning, it has only been more than two years, how can you have gray hair?" ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares for you, and the minister's hair is indeed white."

Zhu Ying didn't expect that the emperor remembered him so clearly.

He was young and ambitious, orthodox for ten years, and at a young age, he ascended to the rank of Jinshi, at the age of thirty-nine, and was entrusted with the important task of being the governor of any province, and grasping the military and political power.

I'm only 41 years old this year!

He slowly took off his official hat, and it was full of gray hair.

Zhu Qiyu was a little moved, stood up, walked in front of Zhu Ying, and gently touched his hair: "Why is it all white?" ”

"You're only ten years older than me, aren't you? It looks like he's twenty years older than me. ”

"Zhu Ying, you have done a good job in politics, and you must also pay attention to your body and bones, I still want to take you to Kunlun Mountain to seal Zen!"

Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "Be sure to take care of your body, you are doing well in Shandong." ”

"Before I arrived in Shandong, I sent someone to visit the whole of Shandong, and you did not exaggerate in your recital, it is really the people who settle down and start a business, and do not close their doors at night."

"Zhu Ying, you have made great contributions."

"It is all Your Majesty's trust and the right to grant full power to Weichen that has today's situation, and it is all Your Majesty's work." Zhu Ying wanted to kowtow again.

Zhu Qiyu pulled him: "It's your credit, it's your credit, I see it in my eyes." ”

"Shandong is a treasure land, but the people of Shandong are the hardest and poorest, so I won't say why."

"Now, I am very pleased that you have brought Shandong back to life."

Zhu Ying did this, didn't he just wait for the emperor's praise?

"Next year, the three-year period will expire."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu glanced at Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying's whole heart was in his throat, he worked so hard, he was waiting for promotion.

"I give you two choices, with your merits, you can directly enter the cabinet and be a supreme minister."

"Another option is for you to go to other provinces, supervise for three years, and then return to the center."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I don't mean anything else, it's up to you to choose, whether you join the cabinet or go to a place, I support it." ”

Zhu Ying really thought too much.

There are governors everywhere, who is not doing well, and who does the emperor want to replace?

"Zhu Ying, in fact, the center also needs you, the place also needs you, you are a capable minister, and you are needed everywhere." Zhu Qiyu said.

"I don't know what to choose." Zhu Ying is also stupid.

Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao to find out the recitals of Gao Zongben and Bian Yong and show them to Zhu Ying.

After reading it, Zhu Ying understood that the newly built Jiaozhi Province needed him Zhu Ying.

"For the court, Siam's grain is very important."

"But the candidate for the governor of Jiaozhi, I thought about it, but no one was suitable, so I thought of you."

"But you've been in the place for three years, and you have such outstanding achievements, it's only natural that you should be in the cabinet, and I have to consider your thoughts."

Zhu Qiyu said this.

Zhu Ying naturally knelt on the ground: "For the country and the people, it is the wish of the minister, and the minister is willing to go to Jiaozhi, and serve as the governor for another term, and share the worries of the monarch." ”

"But your gray hair worries me a lot."

Zhu Qiyu helped him up: "That's it, I will send two imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital, put you by your side, you have to listen to the imperial doctors in everything, if you die early, I can't spare you." ”

"The minister doesn't dare to die early, the minister still wants to go to Kunlun Mountain with His Majesty to seal the Zen!" Zhu Ying said with a smile.

"Good!"

Zhu Qiyu patted the back of his hand: "You Zhu Ying give me a good life, I will go to Kunlun Mountain to seal Zen, and I will take you Zhu Ying with me!" ”

"You have given Jiaozhi to my governor, and the Temple of Literature will have a place for you!"

These words made Zhu Ying's heart bloom.

Now that he has entered the center, he can indeed be called a famous minister, but he is only a generation of famous ministers, and if he wants to become a famous minister through the ages, he must do great things that will shake the ages before he is qualified to enter the Temple of Literature.

chatted with Zhu Ying for a long time, and set up a banquet in the evening, and the monarchs and ministers enjoyed themselves.

The dragon boat will stop in Jinan for three days.

Wait for Xiang Zhong and Liang Xuan to come and knock.

Zhu Ying was stayed in the dragon boat, and a poetry meeting was held in the evening, Zhu Ying and Guo Deng were all poets, and the royal driver also took Qiu Jun with him, which was very lively.

Early the next morning, the DPRK military newspaper was delivered separately.

"Is Zhu Ying up?" Zhu Qiyu asked Feng Xiao.

"Back to the emperor, Zhu Dufu got up at four o'clock." Feng Xiao replied.

"Xuanlai, let's have breakfast together."

Feng Xiao saw that the emperor was extremely fond of Zhu Ying.

It has been nearly two months since I came out of Beijing, and the dragon boat has docked several times, and I have met many officials, but Zhu Ying is the only one who stays on the dragon boat.

Soon, Zhu Ying came in and knocked.

"Look at it, North Korean military newspaper, what do you think?"

Zhu Ying knew the emperor's temperament, and he was not polite, so he browsed quickly, frowned, and said: "Your Majesty drove the Jurchens south, is you going to do something against the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"The root of the Japanese is in the Japanese country, and if the Japanese country is not peaceful, the Japanese will never disappear."

Zhu Qiyu said: "You can't underestimate the Japanese country, according to the intelligence of the Imperial City Division, the Japanese country is in an unprecedented civil strife, and the Japanese army is extremely strong in combat, I am afraid it is not under the Ming army." ”

"The ministers have also heard that the Japanese army is short and strong, and their people are not afraid of death." Zhu Yingdao.

Don't look at the little widow who is short, but when it comes to fighting, it is definitely fierce enough.

The Ming army was not necessarily their opponent.

"Zhu Qing came to see the map."

Zhu Qiyu asked people to unfold the embroidered map of the Ming Dynasty, pointed to the location of Tsushima Island and said, "Gong Yongji, it's on this island." ”

"This island has been repeatedly fought over by North Korea and the Japanese state."

"During the Yongle period, this island was occupied by North Korea, and now, it is occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and Gong Yongji is building a fortress on this island."

"I let the Jurchens go south to make the Wa Kingdom even more chaotic."

"I have asked Gong Yongji to establish contact with the Japanese Kingdom, and I want to train a Japanese army......"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly stopped and looked at Zhu Ying: "Zhu Ying, can I believe you?" ”

Zhu Ying was startled and knelt on the ground: "The minister is Your Majesty's eagle dog minions, how dare you betray Your Majesty?" ”

"Then I will hand over this army to you, you will train it, and when I use it, I will give you an order, and then you will act in accordance with the holy order."

Zhu Ying was so keen, when he saw that the emperor was using him as a follower, he vaguely guessed what the emperor was doing.

"Then again."

"The country of Wa is a treasure land, and this place is rich in silver."

"As long as I can occupy it, I will have an inexhaustible supply of silver."

However, Zhu Ying's face was full of confusion: "Your Majesty, the country is poor, where did you get the silver?" ”

Really, before the war, the Wa Kingdom was so poor that they had to sell themselves, where did they get the money?

"Poverty? Zhu Qing, take a look at the Hongwu record, how much silver did Emperor Taizu give? ”

Zhu Ying was surprised and asked, "Really?" ”

"Can I still lie to you?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "As long as the silver mines of the Japanese country are dug up, it is enough for the imperial court to live for a hundred years." ”

Zhu Ying was surprised, he had to go back and check the classics.

"Wang Yue is doing well in North Korea."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Let the Jurchens leave, and take away more than 2 million people, the population pressure of North Korea has dropped sharply, and now North Korea will be stable." ”

Zhu Ying listened to the emperor talking to himself, but he didn't dare to speak.

"When you supervise Jiaozhi, you also have to learn from Wang Yue, some people don't need to stay."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Always remember that only Han people are human beings in this world, and no one else is not." ”

Zhu Ying was taken aback: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. ”

"I'll tell you about it."

"Zhu Ying, in fact, I prefer to take over a batch of rotten land, like central Korea, which has been beaten by the Jurchens."

"This kind of place, the Ming Dynasty can establish in-depth rule."

"Like the south of Korea, such a place that is determined by rumors, sooner or later there will be rebellion."

"I don't like it."

Zhu Ying actually nodded: "They can be passed on by the Ming Dynasty, and they will also be passed on by the Wa Kingdom, and they may also grow their own ambitions." ”

"But there are still so many gentry in the south, what should we do?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Zhu Ying said seriously: "The mistake of gaining and losing must not be repeated!" ”

These words made Zhu Qiyu very satisfied: "Sun Kefa has done a good job, let's kill it, as for the sailors in the south of Korea, transfer them back and put them in Shandong, Zhu Ying, you come and see." ”

"Obey the order!"

"Seeing the Ming Dynasty from North Korea, the Ming Dynasty is also full of gentry, if someone obstructs my way, what do you say?"

This is what Zhu Qiyu wants to say!
