Chapter 321: They are not suitable for farming

Wang Chonggu went up to the city gate after the prison was completed, and handed over to His Majesty, this matter was finally over, and Wang Chonggu looked at the people who were packed up under the city gate, and breathed a long sigh of relief, so far, his own, his children and grandchildren's, and the lives of his nine clans were really saved.

He took the emperor's order to kill the Confucian Mansion Manmen, and when it comes to sinners in the future, he and Ji Gang are the same ministers and traitors.

He doesn't regret it, he doesn't regret killing the Confucian Mansion Manmen, even if his grave is full of garbage in the future, he doesn't regret it, just the disgusting things that Confucius did should be damned, and even Xu Jie's Huishan Hall has become a bit of Huishan, after all, Xu Jie's children who can grow up have really grown up.

Today, Wang Chonggu, the remnant of the old era, finally boarded the ship of His Majesty, and this letter of nomination finally landed, and the heart that mentioned his throat and eyes finally fell to the ground.

In fact, Zhu Yijun himself believes that he received Wang Chonggu's letter of nomination, which is Wang Chonggu's hole in the Great Wall of Xuanda Gambling and placed 190,000 displaced people.

"Your Majesty, all the five hundred and eighty-two criminals in the Confucian Mansion will be beheaded." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said with a smile: "The second assistant is hard. ”

Qi Jiguang was sure again that Ma Fang was right, Wang Chonggu really didn't dare, the emperor asked him to kill Confucius Manmen, Wang Chonggu he really killed.

"Wang Cifu, I heard that the Criminal Department has recently been investigating the case of the gambling house, are you going to arrest someone today?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said with interest.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Qi Jiguang, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter is still related to the Beijing camp, the Beijing camp has strict military law, gambling is prohibited, violators will be punished with military sticks, and heavy will be dealt with by military law, but outside the Beijing camp, there are people who are eyeing the families of this soldier." ”

Qi Jiguang's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly, he immediately clenched his fists, but he didn't say anything, he sat down a little lonely, outside the barracks, it was not under his control, he actually heard about these people before he set out on the expedition, but the expedition was imminent, and he didn't care about it.

He is a general, a very capable general, and outside the battlefield, he can't manage too much.

Wang Chonggu bowed his head again and said: "At the beginning of June, the family members of a soldier in the 17th Infantry Battalion of the Beida Battalion went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to beat the drum and voice grievances. ”

"Not only in the barracks, but also around the official factory, there are also people who specialize in this business, craftsmen and soldiers, because of the favor of the imperial court, have very little savings in their hands, and these traitors have set their sights on the craftsmen and soldiers and their families."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Pick a few leaders, and verify the beheading to show the public, in order to obtain the effect of intimidation." ”

"Obey." Wang Chonggu bowed to the leader's order, and this matter was not difficult to do.

No matter how difficult it is, it is difficult to kill the people of the Confucian Mansion?

Zhu Yijun is definitely a low-headed emperor, and he will physically bow his head to people at every turn, it stands to reason that gambling on this kind of thing really reaches the point of killing his head?

The emperor's non-criminal decree was interfering with the judiciary, but Wang Chonggu did not fulfill the duties of a criminal secretary, reprimanded Chen Shan, and refuted His Majesty's will.

Tan Lun and Hai Rui's judgment of Wang Chonggu is correct, Wang Chonggu is indeed a traitor.

Your Majesty's explanations can be done, these people who organize gambling games, there is no shortage of outlaws, there is no blood on their hands, are you embarrassed to open a gambling house? If you don't get some blood, how can you get back the money you put out? The head of this kind of business, not to mention picking a few to pull out and cut off the head, is to pick dozens of them, Wang Chonggu can pick them out.

It is necessary not only to carry out His Majesty's imperial orders, but also to ensure judicial fairness, and this intermediate scale, as a secondary assistant and a chief secretary, can still grasp the scale.

Your Majesty wants to solve the main contradiction on the ground in Shandong, Your Majesty wants Confucius to die, then Wang Chonggu supervises it, and the five hundred and eighty-two people who were finally beheaded deserve to die, all of them are people who have a lawsuit on their hands.

"The business of these gambling houses is really unguardable." Wang Chonggu began to explain the routine of the gambling house, which is to kill pigs.

The traitor approached the target with fellow villagers and friends, slowly got along, and became friends, and then went out to play, went to the field to see, and when he saw someone fall into the village, the traitor would encourage the target to bet, not much at a time, ten dollars is not less, twenty dollars is not much, after the beginning, this pig who entered the game, will definitely win, and win a lot.

When the 'pig' began to enter and exit the casino, the traitor will take the 'pig' to rush to the field in advance, at this time the people are not complete, you need to match the door, that is, to make a person, do not bet at will, how much at will, at this time, the owner of the gambling house will also persuade, tell the 'pig' never to gamble, say some casino experience, the Chen family cut off the hand, the Liu family chopped the foot, the Zhao family sold the ancestral house, the Wang family became a daughter-in-law.

This is to persuade the 'pig', but these words are carefully designed, there is a win if you lose, that head, the Dong family has the land, the Ran family has a house, the Jin family has become rich overnight, the pig in the gambling game, often ignores the miserable end of the former, only sees the latter, earns a lot of money, and gets a dozen taels of silver overnight, and is very rich.

After matching the door and persuading the pig, it is still not to the point of killing the pig, but raising the pig, to this step, don't kill it, the pig will come to the gambling house by itself, again and again, there are wins and losses, this fattening, ready to kill.

The specific operation of this step of killing the pig is to go to the village, that is, to let the pig itself be the banker, and one day the pig has been arranged, the dealer has been winning, and then when the pig goes to the village, it is the time to kill the pig.

When the pig is killed, there is a row of people behind the pig, these people, everyone is carrying a package, this package is full of silver, these are loan sharks who put money, it doesn't matter if you lose it, these pig killers lend you money to gamble.

Under normal circumstances, in one night, the pigs can be killed cleanly, and the ancestral house, the fields, and the daughter-in-law can all lose the bottom.

At this point, the people in the gambling house will let the pigs go to pull other pigs over, and how much money can be taken by pulling a person, which is the capital to make a comeback and win everything back, and a plate that repeatedly kills pigs will be done.

"Those craftsmen, in the summer outside more than 40 degrees outside, in the wool cooking workshop, inside is almost 50 degrees, hot dizziness, hot head dizzy, hot head dizzy, there to stir the wool, do a day's work, hands are swollen and peel off a layer of skin, hard work to take three pieces of silver, to this gambling house, not even a quarter of an hour, to lose all!" The more Wang Chonggu spoke, the more excited he became, especially when he heard that he wanted someone to lead someone, his eyes were on fire, and it was not over to squeeze people dry, but also to turn people into accomplices!

The craftsmen in these workshops, which one is not a poor coolie, who worked hard to earn some money, and threw them all into this kind of place, how could Wang Chonggu not be angry!

Why did the Confucians emasculate Wang Yangming's mind, and change the unity of knowledge and action with conscience, to only emphasize conscience, because once you start to practice, you will see hard work, and once you start to practice, people's thoughts will change involuntarily.

Zhang Juzheng said, morality, practice gains.

Wang Chonggu can see the hard work of the craftsmen, he knows how the craftsmen's money is earned, and he can naturally empathize with these craftsmen, and when facing this ugliness, he will be involuntarily angry.

Turning people into ghosts, from approaching this pig to killing the pig, it only takes about 20 days, and even some of the unscrupulous descendants of the powerful right family have been put on a lot of money, and the powerful right family can come to the door to beg for it, these gambling owners also have to sell this face, but this poor coolie, how to ask for it? I can only trap others.

"Wan Dazai, Ma Zongbo, how do the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the code of the Ming Dynasty stipulate?" Zhu Yijun was very curious about the regulations of the Ming Law on gambling.

"The first offender is killed, the second offender is cut off, and the gambler chops his fingers." Wan Shihe said with a complicated face.

His Majesty is to behead the first offender, the second offender exiled to the Ryukyus, chicken coop logging, this is already extremely lenient, when Emperor Taizu Gao in order to migrate wood Lixin, even set up a gambling building, specially gathered the gamblers, after the fish into the nest, a net, the leader of the buried alive, a group of lackeys cut off their wrists, gamblers all chopped off their fingers.

Taizu was indeed cruel, but at that time, under the rule of Hu Yuankuan, all kinds of bad habits became commonplace, and the brutality of the Hongwu period, without considering the world situation to discuss one thing, was a lowly Confucian behavior, Hongwu tyranny, most of which were in line with the heavy code of the troubled times.

At that time, the social contradiction was so fierce that it was irreconcilable, and the Yuan court could not reconcile this contradiction, and Emperor Taizu Gao, who solved the contradiction, was to open up, in order to solve the problem, to provide solutions, in order to override all collectives.

Zhang Juzheng also taught the emperor that overkill must be overdone.

Zhu Yuanzhang's own brutality, some things are helpless under the world, and some things are completely wrong, for example, after Zhu Biao's death, in order to let Zhu Yunwen succeed to the throne smoothly, Zhu Yuanzhang set off big cases one after another, and carried out indiscriminate purges, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to maintain the stability of the top building, but Zhu Yunwen himself was not worthy of Emperor Taizu Gao's cleaning of the court.

The last business that the gambling house should do is to target soldiers and craftsmen, and the person who supervises the official factory is the second assistant Wang Chonggu.

When the emperor asked, these people would definitely pay the price in blood.

Ma Ziqiang wanted to speak and stopped, but still didn't say it, in fact, this is a sleeping law, that is, a law that is no longer used in practice, the gambling house leader cut off his head, the lackey chopped off his wrist, the gambler cut off his finger, after Hongwu, it has never been implemented, and he has long been beaten into the column of tyranny and fell asleep.

This can be regarded as the use of the ancestral law, and it can be regarded as the ancestral law, even if it has not been implemented since Hongwu.

His Majesty did not deal with gamblers too harshly, but dealt a heavy blow to these traitors in the gambling house.

After the end of the noon prison sentence, Zhu Yijun took Qi Jiguang to the Taimiao, which is the place where the Ming Emperor worships his ancestors, Zhu Yijun took Qi Jiguang here, in fact, to tell the ancestors that our Ming army came back with a big victory.

The Ming Army is finally like the Ming Army now.

After going through the cumbersome etiquette, Zhu Yijun took Qi Jiguang back to the side hall of the Wenhua Palace, there is a huge map of Kanyu, which is the map made by Zhu Zaiyu, the uncle of the Ming Emperor, with triangular drawing and latitude and longitude, at the moment, it is already an extremely precise map, which belongs to the top secret of the state.

Qi Jiguang held a wooden stick and explained to His Majesty the Emperor the details of this march and why such a decision was made, there were many decisions, in hindsight, they were indeed correct and extremely simple, but at that time, in the absence of sufficient intelligence support, these judgments were incomprehensible.

This can only be attributed to the mysterious and mysterious thing of military talent, Qi Jiguang is always able to walk ahead of others, respond in advance, and anticipate the enemy first, which requires long-term experience and extraordinary talent.

To the point where Qi Jiguang arrived, on the battlefield, his biggest enemy was himself.

Relying on the greatness of the country, the people of the people, and those who want to see the enemy, are called proud soldiers, and those who are proud of the soldiers are destroyed.

"It's really a sad thing to be Qi Shuai's enemy." Zhu Yijun listened to all Qi Jiguang's reports, and said with a smile on his face, Qi Jiguang may make some mistakes, but Qi Jiguang will never make this arrogant mistake.

Qi Jiguang doesn't like war, he has seen too much cruelty on the battlefield, he knows the harm of military disasters, if he can not fight, he will never fight, every time he fights, he will put himself in the position of defeat to think about how to reduce losses.

Poverty, cough and love, these are three things in the world that cannot be concealed, and it is obvious that after Qi Shuai returned to Beijing, the smile on the emperor's face never stopped.

"Qi Shuai, why can't the Central Plains Dynasty go south?" Zhu Yijun was a little puzzled in Burma, Mengyang, Luchuan, Laos, Dagula and other regions, here is the Ming Dynasty set up three Xuan Liufu, a kind of not tenacious military bondage, now the reckless Yinglong Donghu Dynasty, to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, formed a threat.

Qi Jiguang thought for a moment and said, "They are not suitable for farming. ”

"Reasonable." Zhu Yijun said sincerely.

Qi Jiguang analyzed from two perspectives why the Central Plains Dynasty did not form a county-like rule in the southwest region, taking the four expeditions to Luchuan in the orthodox years as an example, from the Hongwu period to the Luchuan expedition, and then to the Yongle years to establish the three Xuan and six comforts, and then to the orthodox years, the Ming Dynasty attacked Luchuan four times, and the Ming Dynasty has always wanted to expand to the southwest, until the Jiajing period, Dao Ye also Chen Bingzhen Nanguan, intending to enter the Annan Kingdom.

But in the end, in the Wanli period, it still stopped in Yunnan, not to mention the internal causes of the Rouyuan people's wind power public opinion, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou A large number of Tusi need to change the internal contradictions of the soil and return to the stream, only external causes, there are two reasons, which led to the blockage of the Ming Dynasty's attack.

The first reason is that it is not easy to fight.

There are many rainforests in the southwest, and the four seasons are very hot, the rainfall is very frequent, the vegetation is too rich and there are many mosquitoes.

Too high a temperature will lead to two consequences, once the activity is more intense, then sweat like rain, sweat too much, not only to replenish water, but also to replenish sugar and salt, which brings extremely terrifying pressure to logistics.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of his special pear syrup, which was salty and sweet, and the taste was really weird.

Whether it is sugar or salt, it is a rare thing, the army is more than 100,000 people, no matter how rich the court is, it will also be short, if there are more people in it, I am afraid that it will be a battle, and it will have to cost half of the life of the Ming Dynasty.

The rainfall is frequent, the roads are muddy, especially the red soil in the northwest, and it is difficult to move an inch when you step down, and the enemy who is familiar with hydrology and geography will take the opportunity to sneak attack, and the passing ability of the army is extremely weak, and it will become more difficult to conquer.

However, if there are more mosquitoes, there will be more malaria, and the non-combat attrition of injuries and diseases can easily affect morale and increase great pressure on logistics, and malaria can kill people, and the visible enemy is not terrible, and the invisible enemy is the most demoralizing thing.

The second reason is that you can't farm.

It is the same reason that the Ming Dynasty did not occupy the grassland, and the grassland cannot be farmed because of less precipitation, so the southwest Sanxuan and Liuwei are always in precipitation, why is it not suitable for farming?

It is not good to open up the wasteland, the reclamation is tired, the logging is more tired, the best way is to burn a fire cleanly, arson is the only way for human beings to reclaim the wasteland, since ancient times, but the rainforest fire depends on the timing, take the three Xuan Six Comfort as an example, there are only 21 days a year suitable for arson, not much at the same time, this rain, the roots of the ground will grow.

In Sanxuan and Liuwei reclamation, all the roots in the ground must be dug out, otherwise the planted grain will not be covered by local plants in a short time, and the local land is barren.

The land is barren, relatively speaking, it is all dissolved soil, that is, it rains constantly and soaks in water, and the soil is not fertile, which is not suitable for farming.

"Your Majesty, in the hinterland, about a person can toss an acre of land in a few days, even if it is barren, in a few years, this land can stably produce two stones of grain, and in the southwest, it will take eight people and more than 20 days to toss out an acre of land, maybe a few years later, it will only be a stone of grain."

"It's probably because there are some chicken ribs over there, and it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to abandon them, but not now, there's teak over there." Qi Jiguang said concludingly.

If you can't plant the land, why fight? This is a very simple logic, but now it is completely different, because under the opening of the sea, the trees in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, especially the trees that are more than 100 years old, have become scarce, and the wood needed for shipbuilding depends on this area, at this time, this place has enough value.

Felling, digging roots, cultivating wasteland, and farming became a matter of course.

"So." Zhu Yijun couldn't help nodding, a general who is good at fighting in the Ming Dynasty must be good at farming, and farming and warfare are one.

"Why didn't you see Yu Shuai?" Qi Jiguang asked with some doubts, when His Majesty the Emperor was imprisoned today, all the civil and military officials arrived, but Yu Dayou was not there, which made Qi Jiguang a little strange.

Zhu Yijun exhaled heavily, shook his head and said, "I'm sick." ”

"I ask you to visit the sick." Qi Jiguang's eyes widened, and he planned to go to visit the patient immediately, Yu Dayou is seventy-six years old this year, at this age, as soon as he lies down, it is really difficult to get up.

"Go ahead." Zhu Yijun motioned for Qi Jiguang to go.

Zhu Yijun didn't go to visit the patient, he always felt that he had killed too much, and if he went to visit, it would bring bad luck to Yu Dayou, this is Zhu Yijun's true thoughts, he went to visit the patient several times, Zhu Xizhong and Zhu Xixiao did not turn out very well, Zhu Yijun was waiting, waiting for the news of the chief medical officer of the hospital.

At this time, Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong were both in Yu Dayou's house, Yu Dayou did occasionally feel cold, if he was a young man, he might have a snot for a long time, but Yu Dayou was old, his physical fitness began to decline, and he had a high fever last night, so scared that Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong didn't sleep all night, and they were on the side.

"The fever is gone." Chen Shigong breathed a long sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile at Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen also shook his head tiredly and said, "Well, one foot has entered the ghost gate and closed it, and it has finally been pulled back." ”

In Li Shizhen's medicine box, there is a glass bottle, which is a clear solution, it is Chen brine, the oral effect of this thing is relatively poor, but it is directly injected into the blood vessels, the effect is excellent, Li Shizhen did not dare to give Yu Dayou a large dose, but injected a little bit, and the effect is excellent.

And this time, the emergence of new drugs made Li Shizhen see hope.

"The yield of this kind of thing is really too low." Chen Shigong knows the magic of this medicine, and the only problem is that the production is limited.

The only problem is that the yield, the yield of this thing, is almost the same as nothing, that yellow mold is extremely high, but that thing is poison.

"Is that yellow mold really unusable? The yield is huge. Chen Shigong still said with some reluctance.

Li Shizhen said helplessly: "People are no different from rabbits, mice, and monkeys, Zhang Siwei has verified that yellow mold does kill people." ”

Yellow mold is poisonous, but the great doctors still don't give up and have been experimenting.

The purpose of the chief medical officer seems to be to find the strain of Penicillium aged halogen in the yellow mold, because the production of yellow mold is really large.

The yellow mold strain does have penicillium strains that produce old halogen, but to find out, it takes a large number of people, whether it is a Japanese coward, Zhang Siwei and others, and they will find out after trying more.

Because the great medical officers did quench the life-saving Penicillium Chen Lu from the yellow mold at the beginning, what it was specifically required to find out a lot of experiments.

Qi Jiguang came, and was stopped by the chief medical officers of the hospital, because the patient was still recovering, and it was not suitable to see people now, Qi Jiguang chose to wait outside after learning that Yu Dayou's condition had improved, and after looking out of the window twice, Qi Jiguang chose to leave, Yu Dayou's face did not look like a dying wood.

On the seventh day of Qi Jiguang's return to Beijing, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty met Yu Dayou again in the court meeting of the Wenhua Palace.

"Yu Shuai, is the illness all cured?" Zhu Yijun saw that Yu Dayou was in good spirits and asked with a smile.

Yu Dayou bowed his head and said, "Thank Your Majesty for your care, the decoction of this Jieyuan is really stronger than that of the Tai Hospital." ”

There are four major unreliable ones in the capital of Daming, which are well known, namely: Hanlin Academy article, arsenal knife and gun; Guanglu Temple tea soup, too hospital prescription.

The articles of the Confucians of the Hanlin Academy are smelly and extremely empty, and the knives and guns of the arsenal are rotten and useless, this is the Ming Dynasty's military equipment is not prosperous, Guanglu Temple is a place for cooking, it is very unpalatable, the masters of the palace, each has its own small dining hall, and the prescription of the Tai Hospital is because there are too many dignitaries and dignitaries in the Jingshi, and the medicine to the hospital is too famous as soon as the medicine is removed, and they are bound and dare not use medicine.

Yu Dayou even left a will, and as a result, the chief medical officers of the Liberation Hospital rejuvenated.

It's already okay to joke, obviously Yu Dayou is really sick, thank Zhang Siwei and Wakou for their contributions to Daming medicine.

The court discussion began, Lu Tiaoyang took a notebook, and said with a complicated face: "The criminal department will play Zhao Youtang in the matter to oppose the punishment of the gambling house traitors. ”

"How much benefit has this Zhao Youtang received, and if you have such a note, you must at least tattoo a thousand taels of silver." Zhu Yijun opened Zhao Youtang's recital and drew a red ×, it has been six years since Wanli, and he is still collecting money to play, can Zhu Yijun really be fooled by these three words?

"Your Majesty, Zhao Youtang's words are not credible, he said that Emperor Taizu Gao is violent, intolerant of people, and is a big disadvantage in the world, but in fact, it is not." Wan Shihe raised a little objection, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was violent, and everyone agreed with it, but saying that Emperor Taizu Gao was intolerant, Wan Shihe had something to say.

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe, is it possible that this official is still in etiquette, and has his own unique opinions?

Wan Shihe bowed his head and said, "Han Yike." ”

"What's wrong with this person?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Wan Shihe said tentatively: "This person has repeatedly criticized Chen Shan, but Emperor Taizu Gao has not refuted, but has adopted it. ”

Is there really only one Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty scolding the emperor? Not really.

In the Hongwu years, there were officials who kicked Zhu Yuanzhang's nose in the face, and in the ninth year of Hongwu, Han Yike said that Emperor Taizu Gao was murderous and cut people down at every turn, or he whipped Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry when he heard it, but accepted his opinion.

At that time, Han Yike said: The punishment is to prohibit adultery, a civil track, and it is appropriate to discuss the severity of the situation, the public and private affairs, and the size of the crime. Today, I know that I am Lingtun, this villain's luck, the gentleman is dead. Begging for separation, in order to unite the hearts of the people.

Han Yike pointed to Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and said that Zhu Yuanzhang's rewards and punishments are unknown, and there is no distinction between public and private matters, big or small, just all of them, this is not a faint king, what is it?

Zhu Yuanzhang humbly accepted it, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was intolerant, and he really underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang.

Han Yike admonished more than once, at the beginning of the country, the wives and daughters of the officials who were raided were to be rewarded to the officials of the various yamen, Han Yike gave advice again, and finally contributed to the establishment of the teaching workshop and the improvement of the system, and Zhu Yuanzhang also said that Han Yike's advice was right, and he was the minister of the Qingzheng humerus.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is violent, which is a fact recognized by everyone.

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he wrote the word Han Yike on the song, which can be regarded as Zhu Criticism and a formal response.

Lu Tiaoyang took out the second book and said, "The plantation of Wanli Haitang did not go well. ”

Antonio did give up these plantations, but these plantations nominally belonged to him Antonio, but in fact belonged to the local governor, which even Antonio could not help, so far away, it was impossible to maintain direct rule.

It is necessary for the Ming Navy to collect the payment for the goods of twelve five-masted ships by force, and if it is reasonable, it will be reasonable, and if it is not reasonable, then it will be force.

Ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
