Chapter 319: Mending the Seams for This Tattered World
Qi Jiguang repeatedly emphasized that the teacher is famous, how important is it?
This is the inevitable military action of the Ming Dynasty in order to strengthen the military restraints, so this military action, if the division is nameless, do not consider the inside, only consider the outside, and it will solve several problems.
The first, who are you going to kill? How many people are going to be killed? How many more people will be killed?
The military is one of the most sophisticated killing machines in human history, and when this machine comes into operation, it is the most intuitive manifestation of violence.
The question of who to kill first, Da Ming said that he came to pacify the Japanese, the local rulers did not approve, and the local military and civilians did not approve, so what is the difference between the Ming Sailors and the Wakos? Will the local military and civilians also treat the Daming Sailor and the Japanese Kou equally? When the soldiers and civilians of the Ryukyus attacked the Ming army, it was impossible for the sailors to be captured, and the killing began.
When the Daming Marines began to kill the Ryukyu soldiers and civilians, the seeds of hatred were planted, how many more people had to be killed to be able to rule? Killing all the 300,000 soldiers and civilians in the Ryukyu region can achieve domination, but who will kill these 300,000 soldiers and civilians, and the sailors trained by the Ming Dynasty are no longer the king's division who reports to the Son of Heaven and rescues the head of Qian, but the moment they become executioners and butchers, who will be responsible for this?
The most important thing is, once the killing is started, how to distinguish between good and evil? When the slaughter begins, the blood feud begins to spread.
The second question is, how to rule?
If you kill people, this place will become a Jedi, then 300,000 people from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to Ryukyu, if all of them are exiled criminals and outlaws, then the Ming Dynasty will kill them again in a few years, if they are good people, then how can these people face the uncontrolled violence like wolves and tigers?
If you don't kill people cleanly, but while killing people, you shout the king's teacher, bring order to the Ryukyus, bring Huimin Pharmacy, bring social studies, schools, and bring farming skills, really when people don't have eyes, ears, brains, and can't tell the difference between good and evil?
The third question is, how can the goal of war be achieved?
Taking the Ryukyu pacification as an example, the Ming Dynasty was to pacify the Japanese, in order to make the Ming Maritime Frontier stable, the division was unknown, and there was a fierce conflict with the local military and civilians, these Ryukyu soldiers and civilians instead stood on the side of the Japanese and became the most unstable factor in the Ming Maritime Frontier, and the pacification of the Japanese and the stable maritime frontier forced the tributary vassal states to become the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, is this the strategic goal of the Ming Naval Division?
When the king of the Ryukyus was still in the dark for a long time and finally couldn't hold on to asking for help from the Ming Dynasty, the nameless internal and external problems of these divisions were solved.
The Daming Navy Division set off, and Chen Luan, the chief military officer of Songjiang, crossed the ocean ship with five masts and swaggered through the city.
When the Daming Navy Division arrived, the Shimazu family's large army had already retreated, but there were still a few ports in the hands of the Shimazu family, and when the Daming Navy Division arrived at Naha Port, everyone was stunned to see the scene in front of them.
Naha Port is the gateway to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the banks of the river, which stretches for nearly ten miles, are full of ruins and burns, and ships are actually driving in ruins at the mouth of the sea.
This is Wanguo Jinliang, to the Ming Dynasty, to the Wa Kingdom, to Luzon, all have to be here to turn supplies, in the hundreds of years of maritime trade, the surrounding area of Naha Port is very prosperous, and even formed the Naha clan.
The Daming Sailor has come for the third time, the first time is to escort the canonization of the boat for a long time, the second time is the Ming armed parade, the first two prosperity and the current dilapidation have formed a strong impact.
"What have these wolvers done?" Antonio asked Xu Fan with a frown.
Xu Fan said rather abruptly: "The Japanese have been doing what they have done. ”
Xu Fan has seen the horror of the Japanese plague with his own eyes, and all the living creatures he sees will be played with to death, Da Ming is better, because Da Ming has been actively exterminating the Japanese plague, and indeed Zhejiang Governor Zhu Kun was forced to commit suicide Mingzhi, but the moment when the wolf smoke of the Japanese plague ignited in many southern provinces, Zhu Kun has been recognized by everyone with the ambition of the Ming Dynasty to die Mingzhi, even if the Ming Dynasty who led the wolf into the house has to admit that they underestimated the destruction of the Japanese invaders.
The Daming sailors finally found a berth and parked the boat, the trestle had been burned down, and the soldiers and civilians ashore on the boat took an hour to build a temporary trestle for all the sailors to get off.
When a group of people saw the Big Dipper Seven Star Banner of the Daming Water Division, they began to approach it, and the Daming Army was ready to see the dress of the people who came, and then they chose to come forward to ask.
The Seven Star Flag is the navigation flag of the Ming Dynasty, and any ship that has been guided by the Ming Dynasty can fly it, which represents the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming flag once again floated in the harbor of Naha Port.
A group of people approaching the Ming army was the Ryukyu king Shang Jiu, and after learning that the Ming army was coming, Shang Jiu had been waiting nearby, and only when he saw the sign of the Seven Star Banner did he come out.
Chen Lan frowned and looked at Shang Jiu who was wearing a five-crown robe, all over his body, only this crown was clean, and there were only a dozen guards around him, and they were all panicked, with yellow faces and thin muscles.
The last time the boat arrived at the port, Shojiu held a grand welcome ceremony, the entire Naha Port was crowded, and the officials and guards around Shojiu were all in groups.
After Shang Jiu saw the costume of the Ming official, he immediately ran forward a few steps, these steps were a little hurried, and he fell to the ground, but he still rushed over regardless of it, staggered and fell to the ground, and cried.
"What happened?" Chen Lan picked up Shang Jiu, saw that Shang Jiu was still crying, and said sharply: "Don't cry, talk about things!" ”
Chen Lan is particularly disgusted with cowards, and the widows come to the door, fighting with each other like a man to the point of endless death, crying and crying like this, it is really difficult to achieve a big thing.
Xu Fan can understand Shang Jiu's cowardly appearance, Ryukyu is different from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can make 10,000 bird guns a year for the pacification of the Japanese court, Ryukyu not to mention bird guns, artillery and other things, even long and short weapons, have to be imported from the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, this is a very prosperous port, and there is no force.
The army of the Ryukyus is only one hundred and twenty people in total, and it is still the guards of the Shuri Palace, or the Tielin Army given to the King of Ryukyu when the Ming Dynasty canonized the King of the Ryukyus and set up the vassal palace.
Ryukyu also once formed an army of 30,000 people, but they were all disbanded soon because an army of 30,000 people was very expensive, and it was too large for Ryukyu, which only had more than 300,000 people.
The Ryukyus have always been in refuge with the Ming Dynasty and occasionally with the Shimazu family in the Wa Kingdom.
In the 10th year of Takejong Shotoku, the Japanese invaded the Ryukyus, and when they returned to stay in Satsuma Botsu, they were killed by Shimazu Tadataka, the guardian daimyo of Satsuma Province.
"Those widows, kill people when they see them! Angels, you have to call the shots for us in the Ryukyus! It's brutal. Shang Jiu's legs are still a little weak, before the arrival of the Great Ming Water Master, Shang Jiu has been living in panic, he didn't expect that his mother was a Japanese people, and these Japanese still planned to catch him and send him to the Japanese country!
Shang Jiu burst into tears and complained about the viciousness of the Japanese Invaders.
More than 70,000 people were killed directly by the Japanese Invaders on the more than ten miles of Shuri Castle on Naha Port Island, and it was a jade crushing order that was burned, killed, and robbed, which was the order of Shimazu Yoshimitsu, the attendant group of Shimazu Takahisa, who directly ordered the conquest of the Ryukyus.
Under Shang Jiu's accusation, Chen Lan heard about these tragedies.
For example, the Japanese will circle the people in a village, and then empty all their food without a grain of rice left, and force everyone in the village to determine themselves, that is, kill each other, kill each other, eat each other, and live; drove the Ryukyu villagers to the pit and buried them alive; In a strange dance, these would-be pirates would enter the village, kill everyone they saw, and hang the baby's corpse on a long pole...
Shang Jiu completely figured it out, no matter how fierce Da Ming was, he wouldn't do this, but he would.
These crimes shocked Antonio from Tessie.
"We thought we were bad enough for the Tessies." Antonio said in amazement, Antonio swears that the colonization of the Portuguese and the Western Tooth in the New World is far from being so cruel, killing everyone, what a demon can do it, the colonization of the two teeth is indeed cruel, but in the propaganda, it will still claim that the people of the New World are also believers in the Lord.
Of course, there are part of the practical reasons, that is, it can't be done, in the new world, after all, the red hair is still a minority, and the indigenous people are the local majority.
Xu Fan waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, no, the English like to kill everyone." ”
The English like to kill the local natives in the West Indies, which is different from the colonial style of the two teeth, at least on the surface, the red hair fan is still a little hidden, and the golden hair fan is not even bothered to cover it.
On the high ground of morality, the Ming people stand at the highest place, while the red haired fan stands at the low place, and the golden haired fan stands in hell.
Shang Jiu begged the Daming Sailor to garrison the army in the port, of course, it was not that he did not have any preparations, but took out a note, with his golden seal on it, and the Daming Sailor who was transferred to the camp cultivation place, stationed in the tundi, ten miles outside the city is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is in the Songshu, and was confirmed in writing.
After receiving this note, Chen Lan will be able to work.
Chen Lan launched an operation, the well-trained coastal defense patrol water flight has completed the reconnaissance, the next morning when the light is bright, the five-masted ship began to go to sea, Antonio looked at the leaving ship with envy, he has twelve five-masted ships, and four ships belonging to Felipe II, but he does not have this kind of elite generals, the same way, such a sharp weapon, only in the hands of these elite generals, can exert its power.
The military campaign of the Ryukyu Peacekeepers began, and the purpose of this Peacekeeper War was to spare no one of the Ryukyu.
Less than ten miles away from Naha Port, there is a station of Japanese robbers, this is about 300 people of Japanese robbers, its equipment is not sophisticated, only equipped with iron cannons on the firearms, the long and short soldiers are mainly Japanese katanas, and the armor is sufficient for the imperial loan, this kind of armor is iron, a total of four catties of weight, not as heavy as the cotton of the Ming cloth armor.
The word "Imperial Loan" means borrowed armor, which is the armor that the ashigaru people borrowed from the daimyo to whom they were loyal, and the texture was extremely thin, so that it could protect against arrows to a certain extent.
The armor of the Ming Dynasty is mainly cloth armor, and the number of iron armor is actually not very large, only about 600 people, but these 600 people are the sharp weapons of the attack, and the firearms, arrows, and long and short soldiers of the Japanese country cannot break the defense at all.
The war showed a one-sided trend, and the five-masted ships of the Daming Navy Division would appear on the sea in a crushing attitude, while the small ships of the Japanese State, under the bombardment of naval guns, could not approach at all, and even if they approached at the risk of death, they would be driven away or destroyed by the 400 warships accompanying them.
After gaining the right to control the sea, the Daming Naval Division could carry out landing operations at any time and any place, and the Japanese immediately panicked and planned to flee, as soon as they fought, the Japanese immediately knew that this was not the Ryukyu soldiers, the Ryukyu had a total of 120 guards, just a fleet of ocean-going ships, and the number of nine-pound artillery exceeded 150.
After the indiscriminate bombardment, the Daming Naval Division began to land, and the ground offensive began.
After hearing that the Japanese were equipped with firearms, the Daming Sailor did not dare to slack off, and advanced the position step by step, and soon the Daming Sailor found that the firearms of the Wokou were not powerful at the same time, the number was still small, and the gunpowder was also very scarce.
There is sulfur and wood in the Wa country, but there is no saltpeter, which makes gunpowder extremely scarce in the Wa country.
The price of saltpeter in the Wa country is more than 20 taels per catty, and the price of saltpeter in Daming is 5 cents of silver per catty, and the price of saltpeter in Daming is only five taels of silver in 100 catties.
Daming's saltpeter mine is in Laojun Mountain, Laojun Mountain is heavily guarded, and all gunpowder is supplied to the ordnance supervisor of the Ministry of War, and the Wang Gong factory of the internal government, taking Wang Gong factory as an example, a year can build 400,000 pieces of various lead bullets, 360,000 catties of various gunpowder, 300,000 medicine lines, this is still a factory of Wang Gong factory, and the management of gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty is very strict.
There is a very interesting phenomenon on the battlefield, that is, the Ming Dynasty fires cannons as well as does not want money, the fire guns keep ringing, and the Japanese are releasing arrows, so the war, the advance of the Ming army is like walking on the ground.
Qi Shuai said: The people who are most afraid of China's weapons are also firearms. Don't lie to me. Chen Lan put down the clairvoyant mirror and had a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Invaders.
A bunch of garbage.
This is Chen Lan's latest evaluation of the Japanese Kou, the combat effectiveness is really low, of course, this is also related to the coastal defense patrol to find enough information, as soon as the Ming army arrived, the military and civilians of the Ryukyus actively provided information to fly on the water, and the Ming Ping Japanese became simpler.
The Ming Dynasty is so fierce, which has a lot to do with the Ming Dynasty's internal ghosts and the Japanese Invaders.
In the battle that lasted for a whole month, the Ming army broke through the water village of 23 Japanese invaders, killed more than 1,200 Japanese invaders, beheaded more than 320 people, and left more than 10 prisoners in each water village, specially sent to the Beijing division to inquire about the old men in the Beijing hall, which is also an old tradition.
What Chen Lan didn't expect at all was that the Daming sailors caught a prisoner who surprised everyone, Kong Yinsong, from Yanzhou Confucius, and he was a descendant, not a side line that couldn't survive to go to sea to make a living, but a remnant of a descendant.
Obviously, the collusion between the Yanzhou Confucian Mansion and the Japanese Invaders went far deeper than the imperial court estimated.
The battle report and Kong Yinsong were sent to Jingtang together, and there was also a batch of goods sent to Jingshi together, which were all the assets of the Confucian Mansion, because they were too extensive, resulting in an old official like Ling Yunyi, and it took more than a month to raid them.
"The Usuke is in Haidong, the left Ryukyu and the right Korea, the Libo area, and the sound is heard from each other. Therefore, lead the two countries to sweep their mountains and rivers. Zhu Yijun reviewed a book of notes, which was extremely rare during Zhang Juzheng's period of Ding Wei, and he wrote it himself.
The last time Zhu Yijun received Zhang Juzheng's autographed note was the last time.
Zhang Juzheng pleaded for the officials, so that the emperor was a little wary of Wang Chonggu, and the courtiers who could threaten the emperor himself were limited to the courtiers of the Wenhua Palace, and if something happened, it was enough to find it from here.
In the note, Zhang Juzheng first listed the Hongwu, Yongle, and Jiajing years of the Ryukyu canonization, and then discussed the importance of Ryukyu to the security of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Hongwu period, because of the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty's failure to attack the Wa Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty was extremely cautious about sending troops overseas to fight.
In the second year of Hongwu, the Ming army was destroying the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the main direction of attack was in the northwest.
After careful consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang appeased the king of the Ryukyus, and then in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, he supported Li Chenggui to become the king of Joseon, so that the Li dynasty was established and Goryeo officially perished.
And the geographical location of the Ryukyus is important to the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng also made a brilliant summary, leading the two countries to control their mountains and rivers.
Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Zhang Juzheng's book, and said to Feng Bao with a smile: "I used to be able to see Mr.'s recitals every day, and I didn't think there was anything, but now I suddenly see it, I can only say that Mr. is still powerful, and he summed it up." ”
Zhang Juzheng is very easy to use, much easier to use than Lu Tiaoyang, who does not express opinions, and Wang Cifu, who is not in the cabinet office, Zhang Juzheng's summary is always so accurate.
There will always be someone to mend this tattered world, otherwise the world would have been broken long ago.
Some people can't do the world, it doesn't matter, this rotten world, it breaks it, I live mine, others are willing to mend it, I can't care about it, but this person, the most undeserving and hateful thing is that he doesn't make up for it, and tears off what others have just mended, and then stomps on it a few times.
Zhu Yijun handed over the approved notes to Feng Bao, Feng Bao took it down and sent it to Wenyuan Pavilion, he didn't go out for a long time, he hurriedly ran in, holding a Tang newspaper in his hand, and said happily: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy, Ryukyu has good news, the Ming Navy Division went to sea for the first time, in the Ryukyu twenty-three battles, twenty-three victories, consecutive victories, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Yijun stood up, opened the song, and looked at the Tang Bao seriously, his face was full of joy, looking at it, Zhu Yijun's face became solemn.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Feng Bao asked with a puzzled face, this is the good news sent by the Ryukyus, Feng Bao has confirmed it repeatedly, and when His Majesty first started to see it, he was still happy, why did it turn cloudy immediately?
"The Yanzhou Confucian Mansion colluded with the Japanese people, I originally thought they were just seeking wealth! Now, it seems, this is not the case! Zhu Yijun handed the Tang Bao in his hand to Feng Bao, clenched his fists, the Ming Yin knot the powerful right family of the Japanese people, not a few, all for the silver of the Ming Dynasty, before the Ming Dynasty had a ban on sea ships to the Japanese country, and later in the first year of Wanli, under the auspices of Zhang Juzheng, this ban was canceled.
greedy for money, businessmen are all greedy for profit, and they are all greedy for money, but the Confucian Mansion sent his descendants overseas to give advice to others, which really made Zhu Yijun feel unexpected and reasonable.
"Your Majesty, it's not an accident that the Confucian Mansion has done any dirty things, isn't it worth it to be angry with this kind of person?" Feng Bao carefully persuaded, Your Majesty is angry, and Your Majesty is angry.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "This Confucian Mansion, just ask for some money, really, you can't live by yourself." ”
"Your Majesty, the governor of Shandong, Ling Yunyi, Ling Butang, has sent a note, the list of assets to confiscate the Confucian Mansion has been sent, all the assets have been escorted into Beijing yesterday, and the eunuchs and the head of the household department are being checked." Feng Bao handed out a new note, which was Ling Yunyi's note, and the content was a list of family copies.
Zhu Yijun opened the song and glanced at it, stood up suddenly, pointed at the song and said, "Forty thousand hectares?!" Ling Butang is not mistaken. ”
"Nope." Feng Bao glanced at the number and said very convincingly, it is not a lowercase number, it is an uppercase 40,000, and it is sure that it is 40,000 hectares.
The Ming Dynasty began to clear the zhang from the first year of Wanli, until the sixth year of Wanli, the total number of acres of land that the Ming Dynasty paid the tax increased from 4.7 million hectares to 5.82 million hectares, and Lingyun Yi took the house for three months, and made 40,000 hectares, 4 million acres of land, you must know that the original prince Xiangwang Zhu Zhan was not able to seal 20,000 hectares, and in Yunnan was called the Duke of Qianguo, who was called Mu Wangfu, and annexed for two hundred years, only more than 15,000 hectares.
Xu Jie has been the first assistant for half his life, and everyone who is greedy knows it, and finally he has 400,000 acres of land, that is, 4,000 hectares, and the Confucian family accounts for more than 40,000 hectares of land!
Shandong is only 420,000 hectares, and his old Kong family occupies 40,000 hectares!
"No wonder, when other governors go to the place, they can't do anything, Ling Butang killed people as soon as he arrived in the place, and I can only do this." Zhu Yijun looked at the astronomical numbers on the song, and sighed with emotion, Yanzhou Confucius Mansion is too rich!
Ling Yunyi didn't kill people, and there was no way to complete the task given to him by the imperial court.
The Ming Dynasty conquered Daningwei and Huiningwei, prepared to build the Beijing camp and Songjiang Naval Division, and spent a total of about 4.5 million silver in the Ryukyu Pingwa, and this time the family was copied from the Confucian Mansion with 3.7 million cash silver, if the land is converted into it, it is equivalent to saying that the military activities from the first year of Wanli to the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty were paid by the Confucian Mansion in Yanzhou!
"That Kong Shangxian said that I was poor and crazy, so I fell in love with the family background of the Confucius Mansion, so I had to deal with him Confucius Mansion, eh, he was really right, just to fill the military needs." Zhu Yijun closed Lingyunyi's recital, and was satisfied, Pixiu, who only went in and couldn't leave, was indeed like this, and the feeling of fullness after eating in one bite was wonderful.
Zhang Hong said with feeling: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to understand a question, why the wooden statue was lost, and the feeling is that he is patronizing these goods." ”
"A bunch of deceitfuls!"
Deceiving the world and stealing the name comes from the Confucian sage Xunzi's "Bu Gou" chapter, which is a traitor who will steal his name from the dark world, which is very dangerous.
Xunzi, as the most holy teacher of Confucianism, was a cheap Confucian every day, exposing the true face of Confucianism all day long, and was finally expelled from Confucianism. Xunzi also advocates. The queen of the ancient law is thick and thin, which is in conflict with the three generations of the law that Confucianism likes to advocate the most.
"Where did Qi Shuai and Da Sima go?" Zhu Yijun looked at Kanyutu, the Kong family was still detained in the prison, Wang Chonggu had already completed the case, but he had not played for a long time, Wang Chonggu was waiting, waiting for Qi Jiguang to return to Beijing, the Beijing camp led by Qi Jiguang was a strong, physical deterrent force, the army was not in his hometown, Wang Chonggu did not play, to prevent an uncontrollable situation.
"It's already at Gubeikou." Feng Bao said with an embarrassed face: "There are a few ministers who say that the army should be stationed in Miyunwei, and after Qi Shuai enters Beijing, the army will go to the northern camp to prevent Gao Qiyu from doing the old thing." ”
Zhu Yijun sneered and said: "At the beginning, Qi Shuai wanted to enter Beijing to receive the reward, these ministers and officials can't do this, that can't do it, now it's the other way around, begging people to come to Beijing first?" ”
Feng Bao thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Qi Shuai and Da Sima Tan Lun are also playing like this. ”
The historical lessons of the yellow robe still need to be respected, the army is stationed in Miyunwei, even if there is an accident, the imperial court has a certain time to react, and even Qi Jiguang himself and Tan Lun agreed with this statement.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "Qi Shuai will not return to Beijing for the time being, and the reward promised before is in place, and then let Qi Shuai return to Beijing from Miyunwei, I want to see who dares to do it in this reward." ”
The army went out to fight and returned to Beijing in triumph, at this time, whoever used this reward silver was looking for death.
The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty will definitely do their best to ensure that all the military salaries and rewards are in place.
"Your Majesty." Feng Bao said sincerely, Your Majesty always has a lot of strange and effective methods.
Ask for a monthly pass, woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
