Chapter 199: When you are the watchdog of the Ming Dynasty, won't you be able to eat bones?

Zhang Juzheng told the little emperor about the political structure of the Ming Dynasty, which has been exactly the same since ancient times, and Zhang Juzheng said that this is the inevitability of the county system.

Zhu Yijun summarized the basic characteristics of Daming's politics as follows: the task of issuing contracts at all levels, the financial intervention of budget contracting, and the result-oriented assessment and supervision, these three dimensions are the most typical and basic political characteristics of Daming.

This is completely opposite to the concept of great unification and centralization, but it is unified.

Under the design of the imperial system of the Ming Dynasty, it was completely impossible to function normally without the emperor, because the emperor had the power of decision-making, veto, interference and supervision, but also had extremely terrifying discretionary powers, or the power of affairs.

The emperor is in charge of the Yuanfu and the Yuanfu in charge of the second assistant, the cabinet is in charge of the courtiers, the courtiers are in charge of the six departments of the Jingtang Yamen, the Jingtang Yamen is in charge of the governors of the world, the political division, the judicial department and the capital division, and the provincial highway level and the three envoys and governors are in charge of the provinces, and the prefectures are in charge of the counties.

This is the most typical of the Ming Dynasty, the lower level, and only the lower level, which is the basis for the issuance of contract tasks.

What Jingtang has is the right to appoint and dismiss personnel, and now it is gradually establishing a result-oriented assessment and supervision.

If you complete the tasks sent by the imperial court, you will be promoted, if you can't complete the tasks assigned by the imperial court, you will be evaluated by the examination method, and you will be an incompetent person on the grass list.

The examination method is a supplement to the result-oriented assessment and supervision system, before which it was called the Beijing inspection plan, and the six books and one account are the financial intervention of the budget package, before that, the Ming Dynasty implemented the four-sided leakage accounting method where there are holes and where to plug them.

Taking the Great Wall of Xuanfu Datong as an example, the imperial court gave a total of 1.2 million taels of silver, more is yours, less you can figure out your own way, the imperial court sent the military department to inspect the left and right waiters, and supervised the construction of the Great Wall.

If you follow this basic political characteristic, you will find a very interesting thing.

Wang Chonggu said that the soldiers should make peace, and the court agreed with Wang Chonggu's opinion, Wang Chonggu reported a number of more than one million taels, and the court felt that this transaction was not a loss, so it budgeted to intervene financially and give Wang Chonggu silver, as long as this matter was done, Wang Chonggu was more or less responsible.

Looking at it this way, Wang Chonggu ate the silver of the imperial court and ate the horses of the northern captives, which is very in line with the basic administrative characteristics.

After all, Altan Khan did not disturb the border anymore, and Wang Chonggu completed the task of Anbian given to him by the imperial court.

The account can indeed be calculated in this way, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty really couldn't beat Altan Khan, the total army continued to die, and the battle was death, Altan Khan had the absolute advantage of attacking, so for the imperial court, one million taels to stabilize the border is not unacceptable.

The account can't be counted like this, because the times are changing, since Li Chengliang pulled out Gule Village, the Ming Dynasty is gradually recovering the ability to fight out of the fortress, and if you want to eat the silver of the court, the court will not agree.

When did Wang Chonggu stop touching this silver?

From the time when he was blasted out of the Wenhua Hall by Zhang Juzheng and returned to Xuanda to fill the hole, he was doing his best, time is passing, the imperial court is recovering the ability to reward and punish, and then rely on Kou to respect himself, it is going to die.

Zhang Siwei, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, and even Wang Chonggu's cousin Wang Chongya refused to give up the money in hand, and there was no reason to spit it out after eating.

But in the struggle with the emperor, the clan party was defeated, which had a lot to do with the fact that the clan party completely handed over decision-making power to a fool.

Emperor Wanli for the crown prince began to study in the cabinet in the fourth year of Longqing, and the courtiers' evaluation was very low, especially Gao Gong, which was also based on this basic logic, and could not give absolute decision-making power to fools, Zhang Juzheng thought that the Wanli Emperor could be trained to be less stupid.

The best time for Daming to clean up the clan party and eat a sandwich meal should be for Qi Jiguang to completely drive the Tuman Khan out of the Liaodong region east of the Great Xianbei Mountain, so that the Tuman Khan and Altan Khan will clash directly, so that it will not be a sandwich meal.

And Zhang Siwei led the decision-making, and the fire launched to burn the palace, not to burn the emperor but also to burn the three ladies into the Hajj, this is a stupid decision, the final result of unrelenting, and it is also a pot of rice for the clan party.

The clan party is not completely ready, it has not bought off most of the bureaucrats, generals, and generals, and has created a common perception that the imperial court is harsh on the clan party, and we have to reverse, and even the greedy silver, grain, grass, and horses have not yet been transformed into combat effectiveness.

Wang Chonggu's own uncle abandoned the clan party.

Because Wang Chonggu knew very well that it was very stupid to compete with the Beijing camp under the support of the emperor and led by Qi Jiguang to increase its combat effectiveness.

As far as the ethnic party is concerned, a community of interests with the privileged economy as the core cohesion, in terms of military salaries, is the Northwest ethnic party willing to give even a little benefit to the soldiers who are trapped in food and salary?

The result was the same as Wang Chonggu expected, Zhang Siwei didn't do anything, it was already difficult to burn the emperor, and the success rate was much lower than drowning, and Zhu Yijun's most excessive thing was to let the three ladies meet on the foundation.

Zhang Siwei was unlucky with the Jin Party.

Wang Chonggu looked at the suspicious gaze cast by Chen Xuexue and Sanniangzi, and could only drink tea to ease the atmosphere, this money, he took it, Longqing five years, six years, the first year of Wanli, he didn't take this money anymore, Wanli two years, three years, four years.

"Later, I didn't take any of the money, it was all taken by Zhang Siwei and them!" Wang Chonggu was scrutinized, and after all, he was a little annoyed and angry, and argued for himself.

"Third lady, since you have entered the court to negotiate the price of horses, then discuss it well, Your Majesty has pardoned my crimes, you just sue Your Majesty, it's useless, don't think about using this as a condition for negotiation!" Wang Chonggu affirmed that he had been pardoned, and according to the basic rule of double punishment, His Majesty would not continue to pursue him.

Some of the things I am most afraid of are reconciliation.

Wang Chonggu is essentially a trader, he likes to flow a long stream, rather than a rod to buy and sell, and sure enough, now he has a reconciliation and is exposed.

The bargaining began, Wang Chonggu as a follower, he attached great importance to the bargaining part, it was really not a concession, and finally formed a result acceptable to both parties, the price of six silver and five coins for the best horses, four silver and seven dollars for the middle horses, 50,000 horses per year, and at least 20,000 horses for the best horses.

Inferior horses don't want the imperial court.

The Ming court's horse price silver expenditure was 270,000 silver, for the Ming Dynasty, the cost of saving more than 700,000 taels of silver at the age of one year, and for the third lady, this time into Beijing, obtained more silver.

The more than 200,000 taels of silver that the third lady said included the income from border trade, and the price of silver for Altan Khan was an increase.

The price of wool purchased by the Ming Dynasty is also quite kind, and every year Altan Khan can exchange horses and wool from the Ming Dynasty for goods worth more than 500,000 silver taels.

"I'm curious, why doesn't the third lady bring back some gold, silver, jewelry, jade and silk every time she trades at the border?" At the end of the negotiation, Wang Chonggu knew the list of goods brought by the three ladies, and he had some doubts.

On the list of the three ladies, there are no gold, silver, jewelry and jade, not even silk, they are all pots of salt cloth tea, which has been many years, and the things that the three ladies brought back in Daming have no luxury to enjoy, even if they are the national cellars and Taishi chairs that the emperor strongly pushed.

The third lady also brought back a few bottles of the national cellar, which were still rewarded by the emperor.

The third lady didn't answer immediately, holding the abacus, crackling and calculating the gains and losses of entering Beijing this time.

"I like it, but if you bring it back, the grassland people won't be able to survive this winter, you don't harvest at night, you have to burn the wasteland every year, and the burned grassland can't survive the winter at all!" The tragedy of the white-haired wind outside the plug is what the people in the Guannan can imagine? "The third lady closed her account book, Daming made a lot of money, and the grassland was not too much of a loss.

The Northern Captives like to go south to plunder, and the Ming Dynasty likes to go out of the fortress and burn the wasteland, and a burning is an autumn, and this kind of mutual injury is very fatal.

Altan Khan won the war, but the burning never stopped, the grassland was also a heavy loss, Longqing five years, the conflict ended with Altan tribute, the war entered a period of intermission.

The north captives no longer go south, and the Ming Dynasty no longer burns the wasteland, so they are all stable.

The third lady leaned on the back of the chair and said helplessly: "When the white-haired wind blows, the heavens and the earth are upside down, all of them are white, the anger of people and animals in the immortal sky, the white-haired wind is the same, every year some tribes on the grassland disappear, the south of the desert is slightly better, the north of the desert is wara and the forest, when it comes to winter, everyone is crowded together for the winter." ”

"The outermost are the elderly, the inner are the women, the inner are the children, and the innermost are the adults."

Sanniangzi is talking about the grassland winter, her tone is not intense, and she is very calm, as if she is stating a commonplace thing, this is the way of the grassland people to spend the winter, first freeze to death and starve to death the elderly, then freeze to death and starve to death women and children, and finally Cheng Ding was also frozen to death and starved to death, and this tribe was wiped out.

On the grassland, many tribes disappear every year and become nutrients for the grassland.

The third lady is the messenger of the Ming Jin Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty actually does not know much about the border, the reason why she said these painful things, tearing open the wound, is to win sympathy, but also to show her firm position of the Lord and the peace.

The words of the three ladies can win the sympathy of the Ming Dynasty, and this sympathy will have substantial benefits, the Ming Dynasty or the Central Plains Dynasty has always been a disadvantage, a high moral disadvantage.

From the king to the people, in the current world, morality is far more than any barbarian.

High morality is both a disadvantage and an advantage.

"Won't you build a city? After the city was built, the wind and cold resistance of the city was far stronger than that of felt. Chen Xuexue asked a little strangely.

The grassland is not without a suitable place to build a city, the Northern Yuan Dynasty built a city on both sides of the Great Xianbei Mountain, near the Yin Mountain, to the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of the Han Dynasty Chen Luo Wanhu, wrote to the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, Kublai Khan, built the city of Yingchang to live, and later the grassland built a city is also very common.

For example, in the Hongwu and Yongle periods, there was a saying that there were 90 cities outside Daning.

But as time went on, the more alive he lived, the more he went back.

"After the city is built, the Ming army will come." The third lady shook her head and said: "Tuman Khan likes Daningwei very much, and he is in Daningwei all year round, isn't this caught by Qi Jiguang and rushed to the place of Quanningwei?" ”

What Sanniangzi said is a general fact, in the confrontation between the grassland and the Ming Dynasty, the grassland is not qualified to build a city, because as soon as the city is built, the Ming Dynasty knows the gathering place of the grassland outside the Saiwai, and it will definitely be pulled out, just like Gule Village.

If the Ming Dynasty could catch Altan Khan's golden-domed tent and stay, the northwest would not have fought for so many years, and he would not have been able to win.

"Immortal Heaven gave us the ability to survive on horseback, let us control the strings and stretch the bow, but Immortal Heaven did not give us life, so that we lacked pot cloth salt tea. So I'm here. "The supporters of the Three Ladies are hardcore peacemakers, and the number is definitely not a minority.

"In fact, we also have a more extreme voice, some people in the tribe are more envious of the guards of Xuanfu and Datong, and the old men do call the soldiers as livestock, but Xuanfu and Datong do not need to take 50,000 horses and 60,000 bags of wool every year, and they can be exchanged for more than two million military salaries from the imperial court." Sanniangzi didn't finish saying this, her watchdog was not her own nonsense, but a common understanding.

The concept of the Ming Jin Kingdom itself was given by the Ming Dynasty, so the subjects of the Ming Jin Kingdom naturally had a doubt about their own identity, whether the Ming Jin Kingdom was the Jin State of the Ming Dynasty or the enemy of the Ming Dynasty?

The second half of the extreme voice of the third lady is: Why not directly attach the Ming Dynasty and turn the Ming Jin Kingdom into the border of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't you not have to work hard to herd sheep and horses, and you can also get the food and salary of the imperial court? This is also a profit for the Ming Dynasty, and the northwest border does not need Xuanda to maintain 2.5 million taels of silver and 380,000 stone grain every year.

And Altan Khan, for the glory of the Golden Family, refused to push forward this process!

Wang Chonggu knew this topic and couldn't talk about it anymore, so he just brushed his sleeves away.

The third lady asked this question very well.

The Ming Jin Kingdom had to use horse wool to exchange for 500,000 silver, and the two places of Xuanda in the Northwest could still get more than 2 million taels of silver after losing battles all day long, and the Ming military expenditure totaled 6.4 million, and Xuanda directly took more than 2 million, even if it was cut to 1 million silver, there were more than 1 million taels!

Just because Xuanda is the border town of the Ming Dynasty, then my Daming Jin Kingdom has become the border town of the Ming Dynasty, the watchdog, can't you also eat bones?

Sanniangzi received an invitation, this invitation was not the Jin Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party, but Sun Jigao, one of the nine elders of Donglin.

The third lady saw this invitation, and finally did not go to the appointment, this Sun Jigao was the champion of the second year of Wanli, but was called by the little emperor to debate the scriptures, and was ruthlessly defeated by the little emperor, the champion and the child debated, but said that it was not such a strange story, and the three ladies knew about it outside the plug.

Sun Jigao, as the champion, couldn't defend the child, and was also brought to Taixi, and even Felipe II heard Gao Qiyu talk about this interesting story, and Gao Qiyu used this incident to make a footnote for his emperor is Mingjun.

Gao Qiyu traveled to Germany, France, the Netherlands, and England, and probably brought this story to these places.

The third lady is in Beijing to negotiate peace, her every move, are in the sight of the imperial court, at this time indiscriminate action, will affect the peace plan, and the three ladies also know that the Ming scholars are not pragmatic, specialized in retreat, and talk to them, but also can't talk about a result, it's better not to go.

The pragmatic people of the Ming Dynasty are only the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu and others are more like ministers who gather words and interests, which can be regarded as a pragmatic one.

Only these retreating people are really difficult to communicate, their way of thinking is too weird, such as Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chongya and others are all such people, Sanniangzi has dealt with this kind of person before, a very simple thing, can be handled by these people is extremely complicated.

Talking to a lowly Confucian will not lead to results.

The most typical characteristic of pragmatism and lowly Confucianism is to talk for the sake of talking, but never talk about anything practical, empty words, as if only one camp is enough, and any conflict of interest is a sunny and foolish thing tonight.

However, money, grain, iron pots, salt, cloth, and tea are all benefits.

After that, she went to the woolen official factory on the bank of the Yongding River, visited a circle, and saw a large number of people gathered near the official factory, she was a little envious, she knew that the court would definitely do this business, and that was enough.

When Zhu Yijun met with the three ladies, he was not on the foundation, if he was still on the foundation, the new Ming Dynasty Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ma Ziqiang should commit suicide and apologize, and the place of the meeting was in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun held a long steel pipe in his hand, and on top of the long pipe, there was a light door and a crosshair.

Eyes, doors, and crosshairs can be combined to form a three-point line for aiming.

The three-point line is also the result of the degree bypass, and the three-point line can only determine a straight line.

Add the bell holder and the gun machine, and this is a bird gun.

This is the Ming Dynasty's newly made fire pipe, Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with this kind of pipe, this is not a seamless steel pipe, but the internal cooling technology of the cannon is applied to the cast pipe, which is a semi-finished product, and then the iron is as big as a chopstick, and then the iron is as big as a chopstick, and the carburizing forging begins, after the forging is completed, and then the quadrangular steel cone is like a big one, through it, so that the aurora is clean, then the fire is not blocked, and then the steel cone is boring rifling, so that the lead rotates, more accurate.

Qi Jiguang said very clearly, the appearance of rifling was mainly designed to facilitate the cleaning of the inner wall of the firebolt, and later found out that this thing was wonderful.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The three ladies made a big salute, looking at the various objects placed in the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, frowning, especially the pile of books in the seven windows.

Many of the objects here have traces of being used, obviously, this is not put out for people to see, but the little emperor is really using it.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun motioned to Zhang Hong to hand a fire gun to the third lady and said: "The good things that Qi Shuai just made, in the past, Daming could only forge 10,000 firecrackers a year, but now Daming can make 50,000 guns a year." ”

The third lady got the fire torch and knew clearly what it was!

She also has a firecracker, or a very exquisite firecracker taken from Wu Dui's private house, this thing is shoddy, but it is an embryo, and it only needs to be forged to be a powerful firecracker.

"Your Majesty, the king of good benevolence will be able to rule the world, and those who want to be kings are only strong and benevolent! Today, His Majesty is surrounded by people who are gathered and good soldiers, and Mencius has a cloud: if you are not willing to be benevolent, you will be humiliated for life, and you will fall into death! ”

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life! Ji Jiran held a benevolent government to love and nourish the people, and then the people's hearts can be collected, and the king's industry can be caused! The third lady looked at the fire gun in her hand, and persuaded the little emperor to be benevolent, don't go astray, go farther and farther on the wrong path, and turn back!

"It's not... If the official told me so, it would be fine, and Mrs. Zhongshun is a person from the border, so don't talk about this. Zhu Yijun was directly amused.

Sanniangzi said that the emperor is surrounded by people who gather and are good soldiers, which is not to cultivate benevolent government, and should hold high the banner of benevolent government, recuperate, gather people's hearts, and maintain the rule.

The third lady also knew that the taste was wrong, but she really had no tricks, so she had to take out the retreat set, but the emperor didn't eat it at all.

She thought for a while and frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Da Ming took advantage of firearms, but I didn't know that this firearm could not be used on a rainy day." ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand again and again and said: "I practice martial arts, bows and arrows can't be used in rainy days, you are in the north in the summer and autumn, and we will attack in the winter and spring of the Ming Dynasty, and we will choose the time that is beneficial to us." ”

The third lady found out that this little emperor is not easy to fool.

"Mrs. Zhongshun, I let you see this fire pipe, that is, to tell you, but also to let you tell the people outside the border, the heart of the Ming Dynasty Zhenwu, this is not Mr. and Qi Shuai, I am supporting them, I myself practice martial arts, this is also a kind of support, don't make mistakes." Zhu Yijun's tone was calm, but his words were threatening.

For Altan Khan, the dispute of Daningwei can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but in the next war, Altan Khan should be on pins and needles.

In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty aimed to completely drive the Tuban Khan away from Liaodong, whether the left wing merged with the right wing, or took the opportunity to go south to threaten the imperial court, that was not what Zhu Yijun wanted to see.

Zhu Yijun hoped that the conflict between Daming and Altan Khan, the intensification of contradictions, could be ignited when the imperial court was restored.

However, he had already eaten a bowl of sandwich rice, and if Altan Khan had to let the little emperor eat a second bowl of sandwich rice, then Zhu Yijun wouldn't mind.

The Beijing camp expanded its army by 120,000, and the prevention was that it could not eat raw rice.

"The woman obeys." The third lady no longer took advantage of her tongue, and said with a solemn face.

"Mrs. Zhongshun has been running around repeatedly, and the provocations have gradually stopped, Our Lady is merciful, saying that it is not easy for Mrs. Zhongshun, and today I will give Ruyi a pair, a big one, and a fire gun, so that I can do it myself." Zhu Yijun motioned to Feng Bao's reward, the people below have finished talking, Zhu Yijun is just going through a process and routinely rewarding.

"Your Majesty, if the King of Shunyi is willing to attach the Ming Dynasty, it may be changed to the stability of the people outside the border?" After the third lady thanked her, she suddenly asked.

"I heard Qi Shuai say, Mrs. Zhongshun read the contradiction?" Zhu Yijun did not answer this question directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Read." The third lady nodded and said.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I haven't fought enough, I will fight a few more times, and I can't reach the state of rushing until one side completely admits defeat." ”

"Your Majesty." The third lady sighed, the imperial court is expanding the army, and the war will still happen.

Zhu Yijun also rewarded the three ladies with a Nuremberg egg watch, which can accurately keep time, which is an additional bonus.

The Ming Dynasty, surnamed Surabaya Bo Yin Zhengmao, appeared in the port of Manila with a five-masted ship deployed to the Luzon Governor's Palace.

When the big ship arrived at the port, it attracted everyone's attention and ran to tell each other, all the people in Manila gathered in the port, and when they saw the big ship moored and Yin Zhengmao standing at the bow, everyone broke out into a huge cheer, and the people were full of voices.

Yin Zhengmao left Manila, and everyone knew that Yin Zhengmao had gone to get the boat, and whether he could get it or not, everyone was beating drums in their hearts.

Got it.

Zhang Yuanxun was moved to be a rescuer by Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, so it was Deng Zilong who picked up the boat.

Deng Zilong read the imperial court's edict, and was puzzled for a long time before saying: "Sure enough, it's the same as our guess, Yin Butang is really the Zhu family of the royal family, this is the surname of the country!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yin Zhengmao raised his forehead, this stalk is completely unbearable.

"Has the big ship arrived at the port?" Yin Zhengmao is more concerned about this issue, and this year's galleons are a little later than in previous years.

"It's here, it's not there, Antonio has arrived, let's talk about it when we meet." Deng Zilong glanced at Luo Lian, sighed and said.

Antonio's expression was lonely and smoky, and after Deng Zilong's retelling, Yin Zhengmao knew what happened.

Antonio had five galleons, three of which came last year and two of which were almost lost, but this time three came, and two disappeared completely into the endless sea.

One boat was directly cut down by the huge waves that suddenly protruded from the water, and some seafarers were rescued, while the other boat was lost, and the boat without a boat master was lost at sea, which was equivalent to declaring death.

Treacherous waves, in Tessie's culture, are the water jets spewed out by sea monsters, which are a kind of weird waves that appear suddenly and unexplained under the calm waves, which come and go quickly.

Antonio's mood has not been very high, and when he saw the five-masted and twenty-one-sail ship of the Ming Dynasty, Antonio finally regained his senses.

"This ship, which was still in the dock of Songjiang Mansion last year, will it be in the hands of Governor Yin this year?" Antonio looked at the five-masted ship in horror, he remembered that he had donated a lot of crops last year, and the Ming Emperor was very happy, and finally agreed to invest and support Antonio.

And this ship, which the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty promised, was sold to Antonio.

Yin Zhengmao stood on the trestle, looked at the five-masted cross-ocean ship, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, if you want to buy it, you have to go to Beijing and ask for His Majesty's edict, there are twelve five-masted cross-ocean ships under construction in the Daming Dock." ”

"Really? It's really a relief for me to burn my eyebrows, how do you say that word? Oh, the urgency. "Antonio is so glad that he entered Beijing last year to give away his treasures, and it is a lucky thing to be able to buy a boat from Daming.

An ocean-going ship must have multiple ships, share the risk, and the most important silver, is placed on his flagship, he has money, but he doesn't have a ship, and this is what troubles him the most.

When he saw the five-masted ship, Antonio's mood became extremely happy.

An ocean-going vessel that is more advanced than galleons.

Yesterday, I posted a screenshot in the group, talking about the businessmen of Daming Jinguo, who called himself the watchdog of Daming. Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
