Kaiping Wei's victory, the death of Hai quickly, and the enemy's imminent collapse at the touch of a button all represent that the resistance consciousness of the Beiyu has completely collapsed, which is the fundamental purpose of the war, completely destroy the opponent's will to resist, obey their own will, and let the Ming Dynasty do it.

The rule of Tuban Khan, the rule of the Tumen is in jeopardy, and his golden blood can no longer suppress the hearts of those who are about to move.

Kaipingwei, Yingchang, Quanningwei, Daningwei and other places were originally subordinate to the Northern Parallel Division, and the Northern Parallel Division, which was located in Daningwei.

The Northern Parallel Capital Division was moved from the Ningwang Mansion during the Yongle period, and the Northern Parallel Capital Division Zhuwei gradually moved inward, and finally completely abandoned.

This is the general trend of Xingwen Kuangwu, since Zhu Di personally conquered and on the way to the dragon to control the guests, Xingwen Kuangwu has become a general trend, as early as Yongle 19 years after the move of the capital, the Ming Dynasty has a great opposition to the hardships caused by the continuous Northern Expedition.

In the nineteenth year of Yongle, Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department, and Wu Zhongzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, opposed the continuation of the northern expedition of Ming Chengzu on the grounds of emptiness in the border reserves, exhaustion inside and outside, and lack of safety in the holy body.

Xia Yuanji since the first year of Yongle as the head of the household book, this household book is nineteen years of time, after Zheng He went to the West, Ming Chengzu Northern Expedition, Beiya Jiandu Dingjian, Yongle ceremony, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, has been busy supporting Emperor Chengzu's heroic hegemony, and Xia Yuanji resolutely opposed the Fifth Northern Expedition In addition to several Northern Expedition internal and external difficulties, there is also Ming Chengzu's own body.

Emperor Chengzu, who was in good health all his life, was ill in his later years, and his old injuries recurred repeatedly.

After the wind power of Xingwen Kuangwu left in the Ming Dynasty, it completely became the general trend, under the actuarial wind, the Ming Dynasty continued to abandon the land, and finally the capital became the first line of contradictions.

And now, what Daming lost, Zhu Yijun is getting it back little by little, and getting it back is just the beginning, how to stabilize the rule is the problem that Daming must face, Zhu Yijun thought for a long time, and then found the key, a word, benefit.

Wang Chonggu, the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, sent away his son Wang Qian, Wang Qian was like a young beast hiding behind jackals, tigers and leopards, and when he began to hunt around, without Wang Qian's chickens, flying dogs, and jumping, the Wang's mansion became completely quiet.

Wang Chonggu pushed his reading glasses, looked at the accounts in front of him and sighed, not too little, but too much.

On behalf of the Jin merchants, he sent 10 million silver to His Majesty, tens of thousands of hectares of pasture, and actively subscribed to ship tickets, these several times cut the flesh down, the flesh on the body, but more and more, Wanli eight years is only the first half of the year, his family has 320,000 taels of input, in the second half of the year, there are open sea investment, ship ticket dividends, woolen official factory dividends, this year's expected income, will exceed one million silver.

In the first year of Wanli, when Wang Chonggu returned to Xuanfu to block the Great Wall and build a hole, Wang Chonggu went bankrupt and made up more than 2 million silver to plug the hole, and now his annual income is half of the accumulation in the past 20 years.

This speed of wealth growth made Wang Chonggu very worried.

Wang Chonggu is not afraid that Wang Qian will become a corrupt official when he goes out, and Luo Yao, the former governor of Sichuan, has 40,000 silver in three Chinese New Year's Eve, and Wang Qian really can't look at that money.

Today, when his own assets are gradually huge, Wang Chonggu suddenly felt that silver is just floating wealth, and the most important thing is assets, assets will continue to generate production surpluses, and these production surpluses can be realized.

The difference between a satiety meal and a satiety meal is just that this meal is too full and will hold to death.

Wang Chonggu was worried, the situation was a good situation, there was a hidden crisis, after completely studying Zhang Juzheng's "Class Theory", Wang Chonggu completely understood why Zhang Juzheng had to take him with him at the beginning.

What frightened Wang Chonggu even more was that compared to the Songjiang Sun family, Wang Chonggu had no way out at all, he was the second assistant, Zhang Juzheng didn't go, he couldn't leave, he was the ruling layer of the official election official, look at his identity, the second assistant, the Dongge University Scholar, the Prince Taibao, the Criminal Department Shangshu, the Jin Party leader, the Sun family can appeal to the Yuanxu Islands in the promised land, and Wang Chonggu's identity is destined for him to have only one way to go.

Increases the Emperor's kill line.

In other words, constantly let the current political and social environment of the Ming Dynasty accommodate the upper limit, and then let His Majesty and the court allow the existence of the behemoth of the Wang family.

Now the Wang family's annual income is as high as one million silver, and the Ming Emperor's gold and silver are only 1.2 million silver a year.

"Your Majesty is right, the luxury householder stares at the little money of the poor coolies all day long, which is really a mouse's eye." Wang Chonggu leaned back in his chair, thinking about where their Wang family should go, the family is the same as people, and the first need is always survival.

"Master, the cabinet sent Jieyin, and Kaipingwei was taken down by General Wang Rulongwang in one fell swoop." The chief butler walked to Wang Chonggu's side and reported the news he had just received.

Wang Chonggu's eyes were fixed, and he immediately picked up the good news sent by the cabinet, opened it and looked at it for a long time, Wang Rulong's military guard belongs to one of the border troops, and the border army has no offensive ability, which is Qi Jiguang's original assertion, even after the full salary, the Ming Dynasty's requirements for the border army are only to be able to hold the city and repel the invading enemy.

Kaipingwei's great victory was the embodiment of the offensive ability of the border army, which was a good news that was unexpected by the imperial court.

Wang Chonggu stood up abruptly and said quickly: "Hurry up, go to the palace!" ”

The reason why he is so anxious is the doubt in his heart, he has found a way out of their royal family, and he needs the support of His Majesty.

Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, and Tan Lun all came to the palace at the same time, obviously there were important matters to discuss, small things to hold meetings, big things to hold small meetings, big things to open and close the door meeting, obviously this big victory, so that the first assistant, the second assistant, and the military department Shangshu paid special attention.

"Ministers, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng took the two of them to bow their heads.

"No courtesy."

Zhang Ju is here to confirm the military merit reward, the current Ming merit reward, Kaiping Wei Jieyin, according to the merit reward for the third-class merit, but because the border army defeated the enemy, Zhang Juzheng asked for an additional grace for the second-class merit reward, Zhang Juzheng is the only one to accept the military general Bing Jing carbon tribute of the auxiliary minister, but also the only one Zhenwu first assistant, he began to advocate Zhenwu from the first year of Wanli, and now Zhang Juzheng's request for life is in line with his consistent political advocacy.

Tan Lun came to determine Wang Rulong's own military merit reward, and according to the merit reward system, the Ministry of War asked for the canonization of Wang Rulong Ying Changbo to reward his bravery.

Wang Rulong was in the south and refused to be captured in the north, and in terms of military merits, it was completely sufficient.

After Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun played, they both received a satisfactory answer, and the Ming Emperor was never stingy in rewarding military achievements.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Cindy has entered the palace? It is said that this person is the saint of Taixi Jingjiao, Your Majesty, in the past, Emperor Wu had the merit of conquering the vast land of Siyi, but the disaster of witchcraft in his later years was infinitely harmful. With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Zhang Juzheng, as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and as the emperor, finally couldn't help but talk about the entry of the Holy Maiden of Taixi into the palace.

Young man's nature, like to hunt for curiosity, Daming now also has a lot of beauties from all over the world, His Majesty chooses one, Zhang Juzheng is not the kind of stubborn person, Fanyi is not allowed to enter the palace and other things, he is not against it, before the three ladies, the opposition is also Wan Shihe and Hai Rui, Zhang Juzheng remained silent.

But this Cindy's identity made Zhang Juzheng extremely disgusted.

Saint? Clearly it is heresy.

"I've sent the Huan Wash Bureau to be a Huanyi maid." Zhu Yijun accepted Cindy into the palace, but he didn't say that he would let her come to the palace and didn't send her a nunnery, that was Zhu Yijun's kindness.

Accepting Cindy into the palace is mainly an attitude, I accepted your gift, but I am very dissatisfied with your gift, let Cindy enter the palace, is to tell Felipe, Antonio's problem, it's not that you can't talk about it, but you don't have enough to see.

"Raccoon Cloth?" Zhang Juzheng smiled, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

It's not that Zhu Yijun dislikes Fanyi, it's really Taixi's red hair and golden hair, and the body smell is a little rushing.

"Wang Cifu, the captives have not yet entered Beijing, what is the matter with this visit?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister had an idea, so he came over, mainly to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Meritorious?"

"Meritorious." Wang Chonggu said with great certainty that there is another way to improve His Majesty's killing line, that is, to stack the Holy Family, and what Wang Chonggu is going to talk about next is to take a two-pronged approach, not only stacking the Holy Family, but also increasing the upper limit of the Ming Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this wool business is promising!" Wang Chonggu got straight to the point and got to the point.

Why did Daming give up Kaipingwei, Yingchang, Quanningwei, and Daningwei? The reason is that the supply of food and salary is huge, Kaipingwei is far away to send military rations to the past, it is a great burden for the imperial court, the road is far away, there are many horse bandits along the way, and the city walls are not strong, the city is all adobe, and the construction of the city consumes a lot, just like the Rehe military fortress, originally the court discussed that everyone wanted to build a big city, and in the end they could only get a military fort.

In the final analysis, it is that you can't afford to raise it.

After Wang Chonggu made his thoughts clear, his main idea was to follow his resettlement of hooligans, suppressing bandits, training troops, building roads and bridges, building cities, resettling displaced people, herding horses and sheep, etc., these things have already been done once in Daningwei and Quanningwei.

The difference is that the interests of Daningwei and Quanningwei are mainly Taotu Mountain, and the eastern foothills of Daxianbei Mountain are mainly to raise horses and farm land, rather than herding sheep.

In short, it is the characteristic king-oriented road of the Wanli Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng is also a bright eye, Daming already has a number of woolen factories, the price of raw materials has risen because of competition, sheep raising outside the plug has become a way, Kaipingwei, Yingchang, tens of thousands of hectares of grassland, can be used as a wool base.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, during the Hongwu and Yongle periods, there was no such condition, because of the population, at that time, the chaotic era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty had just ended, and the recovery of the population took time, and there was a difficulty, at that time, there was still grassland in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and horses and sheep could be herded, and now the main contradiction of the Ming Dynasty has become the contradiction between man and land, and there are many people and few places.

"It's not a wild place, it's profitable." Wang Chonggu said with great confidence that the Jin merchants poured goods outside the plug, but not for charity, and it was profitable for Wang Chonggu based on the facts.

Zhu Yijun communicated the details with Wang Chonggu, and then handed over the matter to Wang Chonggu to do.

Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and Kaipingwei is under the operation of Wang Chonggu, if he can be upgraded from Wei to the government, it will be a great credit.

"Your Majesty, this year's dividends from the Mao's official factory, can one percent become a fixed one thousand taels?" Wang Chonggu brought up the old matter again, if His Majesty did not agree today, he Wang Chonggu would have no choice but to give advice.

The woolen official factory is expected to pay more than 300,000 taels of dividends this year, and Wang Chonggu really can't grasp it.

"Okay, but I have to say it, this Mao official factory is related to the northern border security, and you have to do your best." Zhu Yijun chose Enzhun, and the woolen official factory that started with a handful of wool, a handful of wool shears, and a fermented urine to clean the wool was finally completely subordinate to the imperial court.

"The minister will do his best." Wang Chonggu breathed a sigh of relief and made a guarantee. He would have done a good job without dividends.

During the opening and closing of the palace meeting, the Spanish envoy Li Yashi met with Cindy Celia.

"Almighty and merciful God, listen to the prayer of the Virgin Martyr Cindy Celia, grant my pleas, forgive my sins, and I will remain pure in heart and sanctify the land of faithlessness under your all-pervasive radiance." Cindy prayed to the Holy Cross before seeing Le Yasit.

Li Yashi does not look like a believer at all, and his filthy soul can only go to hell after death, or even to the palace of Hades.

Li Yashi understood what Cindy meant, she actually wanted to preach! In the land of sainthood and faithlessness, how big a face do you have, dare to preach in the Ming Dynasty without the permission of the Ming Emperor.

"Holy Maiden, today's prayer is your last prayer." Li Yashi looked at Cindy and said with pity: "As soon as you enter the palace gate is like a deep sea, you enter the palace as a gift, don't do this kind of prayer, be seen by the palace people, a witch Gu sin, is a capital crime." ”

Li Yashi had to tell this holy woman that the more devout she was to the Lord, the more the Ming Palace rejected it, and prayers and rituals were things that were never allowed to appear in the palace.

"This—" Cindy was shocked, she felt that she had been martyred, and when she prayed, she had to retreat to the second best thing and keep her heart pure, and now she could not even pray and worship?

"The palace rules are strict, and according to the notice of the Ministry of Rites, you are afraid that entering the palace is not a servant, but a maid, which is very cruel, but you must be able to survive first." Lai Yashi told Cindy what he knew.

After entering the palace, someone naturally taught her the rules, and the old mother in the palace was not only good at postpartum recovery, but also good at rules.

Lee's fear is that Cindy won't survive.

"Can I go back to Tessie? I felt the rejection of me in this land of the unbelievers. Cindy looked pale, she thought about the difficulty of the trip, but she never expected it to be so difficult.

Sure enough, the land of faithlessness is worse than hell.

"I can't go back, the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, in this land, is no less than an oracle, especially in Jingtang." Li Yashi shook his head, the emperor has already issued a decree, so there is no possibility of change.

Cindy can't go back, and she needs to struggle to survive in the palace, it's a hellish difficulty to survive, Emperor Ming lives in the palace, doesn't live in the palace, Cindy wants to climb to the sky with her posture, it's no longer possible.

"This is not a place for the unbelieved, while the Ming people worship the saints, they will also believe in themselves." Lysit placed a travelogue on the table, which he had written in Latin, and whether Cindy could read it or not was up to her own creation.

It is conceivable that Cindy's life in the palace, because of the language barrier, she can't understand what the palace maids are saying at all, the life of fine clothes and food in the past will become self-reliance, and it takes labor to get what life needs, the main theme of her life is to wash clothes with a mallet, not chanting, her lord can't help her do anything, and beautiful looks are no longer a gift, but a sin of being envied.

Suffering will stay with Cindy for the rest of her life.

But the conflict of interests between the two world powers, what is the ability of Cindy, a specific individual, to resist? I could only go with the flow, perhaps just Felipe's heartfelt thought, so he chose a saint to test the determination of the Eastern Emperor.

Li Yashi can't help Cindy, and today is also the last time, the last time to advise.

"You have only one way to live, to turn the object of your faith into Your Majesty." Li Yashi stood up and said that only she could go on the road in the future.

"Become Your Majesty?" Cindy muttered to herself, she already knew that Tessie was different from Da Ming, she needed to rely on herself to survive, and the latter color gradually became more resolute.

Cindy entered the palace, the old lady took her, went through the necessary process of entering the palace, the physical examination, the physical examination of the Ming Palace is extremely strict, in addition to checking the chastity, but also to check whether there is a foul smell, this is inevitable, the woman who smells too heavy, even the Huan washing bureau can not enter, can only go to the clean room to pour night incense, more bluntly, it is the reincarnation of the five grains.

Cindy was lucky to pass the physical examination, Zhu Yijun has a stereotype in this matter, Taixi Jiu adults and above have body odor, and they need to be covered with perfume, but Cindy didn't, she was carefully selected to Daming's gift, if there is a smell, it is not a gift, it is an offense.

In Li Yashi's travelogue, some of the troubles of the Ming Emperor are recorded, in addition to being stingy, it is also recorded that the Ming Emperor made extremely luxurious perfumes, but they were sold very poorly in the Ming Dynasty.

Cindy, who was nervous, after going through the process of physical examination, had already understood the horror of the strict palace rules, she was washed several times by several backing women, until she was rubbed into reflection, and then she was taken to the palace to face the saint.

Cindy is a woman who was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace, and after the inspection, she naturally wants to face the saint and ask His Majesty to go to the holy place.

Cindy had already done her best to look like His Majesty from the inside out, both mentally and physically, but she was assigned to the Raccoon Clothes Bureau before she could see the Emperor, and unfortunately, the Emperor's kindness and mercy had not yet come to her.

Zhu Yijun is very busy, he is busy with the affairs of Kaipingwei, the captives of Kaipingwei have not arrived in Beijing, and a rubbing book is sent to the imperial case before, the rubbing is the stone carving of Kaipingwei, which is the stone carving of Kaipingwei in February of the fourth year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu re-established Kaipingwei and sent it to Kaipingwei.

There are four lines of poetry above, which were written by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the lettering is also written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

I have thousands of lines of pig iron juice, and I don't cry for my children in my life. Suddenly, I heard that yesterday was often public, and tears were sprinkled with wet grass and trees.

In addition to the seven unique verses, there is another line of small words: [Hate can no longer serve the king].

Chang Yuchun broke through the capital of Yuanshang, changed the capital of Yuan to Kaiping Mansion, only a month later, he died, the Ming Dynasty could not retreat, and he could no longer serve the king, which was Chang Yuchun's last words, and these four poems were Zhu Yuanzhang's response.

Kaipingwei, the glory of the early Ming Dynasty, has crossed the long river of history of two hundred years, and it has jumped on paper.

"Decree Wang Rulong, this monument is erected in the yamen of the palace to set up a pavilion, and another big monument is built in the city." Zhu Yijun decided to let the stele remain in Kaipingwei.

In July of the eighth year of Wanli, Paulino and Li Yashi met with the Ming Emperor together.

Li Yashi didn't talk about Cindy's whereabouts, he didn't mention it, it wasn't something he could care about, he took Felipe II's credentials, and said a bunch of scenes, Li Yashi was not worried about what he would do after the Ming Dynasty and Spain became enemies, he had actually made a choice a long time ago, Felipe dismissed him as a special envoy, and he was also one of the generals of the Daming Honglu Temple, responsible for translating Tessie's works.

"Your Majesty, the king has never come to Daming, there will inevitably be offense, but it's okay, the contradictions have become reasonable, if the contradictions have not intensified, how can we get along with each other." Li Yashi expressed his attitude towards the conflict, he is a ruthless microphone.

There is a run-in period between countries and people, and they must find out the bottom line and temper with each other, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot be bullied, Li Yashi's side, the helmsman of the empire on which the sun never sets, no one is convinced, touch it, fight enough, and be convinced.

"Paulino, this is the third time we've met." Zhu Yijun looked at the strong man next to him, Paulino was nearly seven feet tall, and his skin was tanned by the scorching sun, looking extremely bold.

The galleon trade entered its eighth year, and Paulino entered Beijing three times, and Zhu Yijun liked Paulino's navigation notes very much.

There are always a lot of novelty stories, such as the Bigfoot people they met in the Strait of Magellan, and the countless redwood forests on the coast of Brazil, which is an extremely precious red dye that only expensive silk fabrics can afford.

Every year, galleons can carry 52,000 mahogany trees to Daming, and this number is increasing year by year, and the Portuguese and Spanish colonists are frantically competing for mahogany, stealing, smuggling, fire, and arson, and doing everything they can.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Antonio, with the help of Advisor Xu, has become the King of Portugal, and according to the promise of His Royal Highness at the beginning, this is the credential for the return of the Strait of Malacca." Paulino first presented an official document, which was drawn up by Antonio as king.

The restitution, on behalf of Antonio, as king, recognized the jurisprudence of the Ming Dynasty on the Strait of Malacca.

Feng Bao took the letter of state in his hand, and then returned another copy of the letter of state, Paulino opened the letter of state, and after a detailed comparison, the letter of state in Latin and Chinese was bilingual, and the legal attribution of the Strait of Malacca was determined.

"Your Majesty, forgive Your Highness for your incompetence, the shadow of war on the homeland, so that Your Highness's ownership of the colony cannot provide substantial help, and Your Majesty can only go and take it personally." Paulino was a little helpless, and the Portuguese king's control over the colonial governor was almost zero.

Tessie was the first to open the sea, it was Portugal who explored the sea and the continent, it was Portugal who first set up a maritime university, and Portugal also had the most advanced navigation technology, but the first circumnavigation voyage was Spain, and the first empire on which the sun never set was also Spain, and Portugal's control over the satrapy was extremely weak, which also led to the hesitation within Portugal about whether to open the sea or ban the sea.

"Antonio's situation seems to be very bad, I can understand him, do I still need to borrow money this time?" Zhu Yijun nodded, in the Strait of Malacca, whether there is this national letter or not, the Ming Dynasty will take it back, and with this national letter, it will be more famous and upright.

"That's true, a war loan of two and a half million silver is needed." Paulino did not hesitate, he needed more five-masted ships to form a free fleet, and Felipe II had to feel that it was not worth it, this was the plan from beginning to end.

Zhu Yijun motioned for Feng Bao to take another deed and said, "Sign it, you will get ten five-masted ships to sail back." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity and kindness." Paulino checked the deed and wrote his name.

"I hope Antonio can stand firm and end this damn war quickly, the huge interest on the war loan is shocking even for me to see it, but as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, such a huge number needs to be properly explained to the subjects, even if it is internal money, but this money is also taken from the people." Zhu Yijun said it beautifully, but he couldn't wait for the battle for the Portuguese throne, beat him hard, and beat him for ten years and eight years!

The war money, the interest on the war loans, and the long-term profits from the extension are all exciting!

Felipe has only purchased five ships this year, mainly because the fleet has repaid last year's loan, and there is not enough silver to pay for the ships, and this long-term order needs to be delivered after the Spanish side pays off the final payment.

Felipe dismantled a five-masted ship, hoping to imitate, dismantled and did not install, even if it was not installed, but the ship design still has reference significance, Spain designed a new three-masted Galen ship, although the process, completely not up to the standards of the Ming Dynasty, but in Tessie can be said to be far ahead, trial production of three new Galen ships, playing the English pirates, crying dad and calling mother.

After Li Yashi and Paulino left, Zhu Yijun met the third envoy, an envoy from the Queen of England, named George Weymouth, who was a yellow-haired fan, from the Cross family and a shipbuilding family.

There are four letters, English, Latin, Spanish and Italian colloquialisms, Zhu Yijun opened the original English, read it for a long time, and chose to give up, he can only understand the approximately, there is still a big difference between ancient English and later English.
