The first Wenhua Palace meeting in the ninth year of Wanli determined the main context of this year's new policy, and the sea and land were carried out simultaneously.

Enriching the country and strengthening the army was still part of the New Deal, but the development of land and sea became the focus, and the two most important directions were the Great Khan, the suzerainty of the king-Hua Beiju, and the development of the Yuanxun Islands.

New policies such as the return of land to the Qing Zhang, the examination of the law, the rectification of the study and administration, the opening of the sea, the construction of government factories and groups, the free trade of merchant ships, the relocation of wealthy households to enrich Gyeonggi, the selection of official examinations, and the supervision of officials are still in progress.

It's just that the focus of the ninth year of Wanli is to open up.

This kind of development has been supported, and it is not that Zhu Yijun, the emperor, has built the imperial court into a hall of words, and he plays coloring games with him, a strong boy.

From the outside to the inside, the Ming Dynasty was divided into tributary states, vassal states, feudal propaganda divisions, and Shitu counties.

Broadly speaking, the current Portugal and Spain are one of the tributary states of the Ming Dynasty, and Portugal is evolving towards a vassal state because of Antonio's canonization by the Ming Dynasty.

Under the definition of the Ming Dynasty, tributary and vassal are not strictly in the sense of territorial expansion, only real land counties can be regarded as territorial expansion.

In Shitu County, there are four standards, garrison, taxation, household arrangement, and car with the same track.

According to the standards of Shitu County, the size of Spain will shrink on a large scale, not a large territory of the New World, but a gathering place of dots.

According to the values of the Ming Dynasty, Taixi's colonies are at most between tributary states and vassal states, and they are not even counted as the Guardian Propaganda Division, which is a rope set in various places, which is the most intuitive embodiment of violence.

The court of the empire on which the sun never sets, Spain, without the rope of force, could effectively rule over the vast colonies.

The expansion of the Ming Dynasty did not end in the Yongle year, but in the Wanli year, and the development of the entire Wanli period was a total of five regions, about the size of twenty counties.

In the first year of Wanli, Liu Xian attacked the capital and changed the land to return to the stream; In the third year of Wanli, Lingyunyi broke through the Yaomin Revolution and established three counties; Li Chengliang was in Wanli ten years, Liaodong Kuandian Six Forts; From the eleventh year of Wanli to the winter of the thirteenth year of Wanli, Liu Wei Zhenman, after the death of Mang Yinglong, completely crippled Donghu and opened up the Longchuan River valley in Yunnan and the surrounding areas south of Ailao Mountain; In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, the rebellion of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou was put down, and Banzhou was fully established in the county.

This is the Ming Dynasty's large-scale five explorations, as for the Lijiang prefect to expand the soil to Qamdo, change the hereditary Tusi to Liuguan, Gansu Ningxia New Trianbian, and Jiayu Pass outside the fifth return of Hami Liuwei, these small-scale, not considered the development of the real land county, are not counted, the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli period of the real land county development is about equal to the area of two Guizhou.

The internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty are constantly intensifying, and it is inevitable that the contradictions will be resorted to external wars while the blade is inward.

Under the premise that Zhu Yijun, a big fluttering moth, kept moving his wings, the Ming Dynasty completed the overseas development of the four governors' palaces of Jiugang, Luzon, Ryukyu and Nagasaki, and also completed the land development of the six forts of Kuandian in eastern Liaodong, Daningwei, Quanningwei, Yingchang and Kaipingwei, which is also based on this inevitability.

The ninth year of Wanli is a year to digest these places, and it is also a year to continue to open up, and the Great Khan, the suzerainty of the Yuanxun Islands and the Northern Emperor, is the main content determined by the first court meeting in the ninth year of Wanli.

"The seven things of opening the sea, I am ready, and when the time comes, the imperial historians will say that I am a loser." Zhu Yijun looked at the notes in his hand that criticized him, looked at the courtiers and said with a smile: "Once the wind direction of the country turns to contract, my investment in more than 100 plantations in Nanyang is like rootless wood and sourceless water, which will wither in a few days." ”

"I'm afraid that if they can't wait for the day when I breathe, they should scold me for spending so much money and getting nothing."

Zhu Yijun is not nonsense, the Ming Dynasty has made a bloody investment in the development of Nanyang, married a princess, sealed a national surname, built a very strong navy, broke through Portuguese castles, reclaimed nearly 300,000 acres of land, and established more than 100 plantations.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty will never discuss what they have gained during this time, just like the income of the six trips to the West during the Yongle period is rarely talked about, and they will regard it as the emperor squandered the wealth of the Ming Dynasty for his imperial hegemony, and how much trauma was brought to the Ming Dynasty by the reckless military force.

"It's inevitable." Zhang Juzheng suddenly spoke.

The courtiers all looked at Zhang Juzheng a little sluggishly, His Majesty's words were originally a whining word, everyone just listen to it, there is no need to answer, the cheap Confucians of the Ming Dynasty always want to get nothing for nothing, that is, they can get the wealth of the sky without any paying.

But Zhang Juzheng replied.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Your Majesty, contradictions one after another, the Ming Dynasty is always in the fierce collision of contradictions, ups and downs, the development at this time is correct, the future contraction may not be wrong, no matter what kind of hero, can not decide what happens after death, in order to prevent our huge investment in the end of the water, the minister thinks, it is better to use enough strength to open up now, when shrinking, the stall is too big, and where can it shrink? ”

As soon as the contradiction came out, the development context of the Ming Dynasty became very clear, that is, the spiral rises, and the rise does not always happen, but now when it rises, what can be done is to make the rise high enough, and when it falls, it will not fall worse than in the past.

Fearless ending, but no regrets, 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and smiled, Mr.'s goal is always so clear and clear.

"Since Chen Zeming thinks that he is not doing the right thing, he will send him to Songjiang Mansion to be a partner with Governor Shen Shixing Shen." Zhu Yijun promoted the supervision of the imperial history and sent him to Songjiang Mansion to be the inspector of the imperial history, and partnered with Shen Shixing.

Chen Zeming is not a cheap Confucian, he likes to visit, down-to-earth officials, it is really a waste to stay in Beijing to be a clear stream just talking.

Chen Zeming's visit was not to fool the emperor, the imperial court, or himself, but to go deep into the houses outside Chaoyangmen, and visited the transportation, land ownership, commercial scale, and even salt, oil, beans, wine and other groceries, and even included how many coal shops, how many firewood bearers, how many prostitutes were outside Chaoyangmen, and so on.

Chen Zeming is not a lowly Confucian.

The court discussion continued, the Ministry of Household made a comprehensive introduction to Mizhou, Ningbo, Fujian, Guangzhou Ocean Commercial Firms, from today onwards, the Ming Dynasty will be rationed according to the trade volume of each commercial house, no longer Songjiang Mansion is a single eater, the fixed share is the growth of the share, for example, last year the Ming Dynasty has reached 70 masts per month, 5 masts have reached 12, the excess part, which commercial house to distribute, the number of ships, have set out the charter, the charter is not complicated, It's the volume of trade that has the final say.

This is the Ming court's examination of the ocean trading firms, and according to the rules of the imperial court, five years is a period, and the ocean trading houses in one place will be eliminated and downgraded to business gangs, and then a new place will be selected to form a new trading house.

"Li Yashi's travelogue was published in the miscellaneous newspapers of the Ming Dynasty, which was quite popular, and before the Chinese New Year, he wrote a travelogue discussing the backwardness of the Ming Dynasty's economic constraints." Wan Shihe distributed a few miscellaneous newspapers, and after reading them, the faces of the Ming Ming Princes were not good-looking.

Felipe, the overlord of Taixi, is learning from Daming, and Daming is also learning from Taixi, and the results of Taixi's economic restraint are very worthy of reference from Daming.

Of course, that guy Li Yashi always tells some big truths in his travelogue, which makes people unhappy.

"I can see that sooner or later he will have to die on this mouth." Zhu Yijun shook his head after reading the miscellaneous newspaper and said, "But he is right, I can't kill him." ”

Li Yashi's Chinese is already excellent, because of the lack of use of Latin, he now writes travelogues, all in Chinese, and then translated into Latin, and sometimes he will forget the words, not knowing how to use Latin to accurately express the meaning he wants to express.

The reason why Li Yashi's travelogue became like this is largely because he knew that the travelogues he wrote were difficult for the Taixi people to understand in a short period of time, and his readers were in the Ming Dynasty, so it was more appropriate to write it in Chinese.

Lai Yashi said:

[Daming's current means of overseas development and economic restraint are like a big girl getting on a sedan chair, twisting and pinching, wanting to use the businessmen to go overseas to grab back the real money, but I am afraid that the businessmen will not be controlled, the paper kite is broken, and the paper kite loses the paper kite, and the paper kite does not know where it will fall.

Fear! Fear! Fear! I'm afraid that nothing will be achieved in the end.

It is understandable that the imperial court looked ahead and backward, because the plague in the southeast lasted for more than 20 years, and it was because it could not satisfy the huge appetite of the merchants, and the merchants were coerced by outlaws, coupled with the Japanese invaders, which caused a catastrophe.

Compared with the caution and caution of the Ming Dynasty in the open sea, Taixi's opening of the sea always seems very reckless, with neither a strong sailor nor the advantage of commodities, and plunges headlong into the vast sea, and the seeds that drift with the tide take root wherever they go. 】

Zhu Yijun agrees with Li Yashi's travelogue, Li Yashi is a Taixi person, Taixi's opening of the sea, the main adventure, he can't understand the twisting of the Ming Kaihai, he is difficult to understand, because he has lived in the Ming Dynasty for many years, but he is not a Ming person, he does not understand this kind of adventure and recklessness, for the more than two hundred years old Daming, it is a bit too radical.

Zhu Yijun also understands the worries of the Ming dukes.

Once the strategy of the Ming Dynasty turned to a comprehensive contraction, losing the huge profits of the sea trade, the huge naval division could not be maintained, and the Governor's Mansion opened up by the Ming Dynasty would become a pirate den that threatened the long coastline southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would probably have to maintain and pay a huge price to ensure the tranquility of the coastline.

Daming's back-and-forth is not a day or two, but more than 200 years.

"After the publication of Li Yashi's miscellaneous newspaper, it triggered a lot of miscellaneous newspapers to follow up, and many pens are also discussing this matter, and they feel that the imperial court is now a little timid in opening up maritime affairs." The reason why Wan Shihe specifically mentioned this miscellaneous newspaper was to remind the Ming Emperor to pay attention to the emergence of this kind of argument among the people, and the people of the Ming Dynasty had been dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's conservative policy of opening the sea, and thought that the imperial court had taken too small steps.

"What are they going to do if they want to open the sea?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "What do the pen leaders say?" ”

"Fully open up the drawings and technology of the five-masted merchant ships, completely liberalize the prohibitions, change the merchant ship market from each ship to self-declaration and random inspection, completely let the ship guide go to sea without reporting, and revoke the ban on trade and trade between the Japanese countries, etc." Wan Shihe's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't say it yet, saying it, he was afraid that the emperor would personally cut people.

What they want is: to buy a Wu boat to carry Wu women, and to get drunk every day.

The Ming Dynasty's prohibition on the buying and selling of Han Chinese, which was a strictly restrictive regulation, was also the most thoroughly implemented decree of the Ming Dynasty, and the Han people were not allowed to be traded as slaves.

Wan Shihe didn't dare to say it, he said it, His Majesty didn't open the court discussion, and directly took the Qi family knife to cut people, Your Majesty didn't do this, and the matter of stabbing Chen Youren has been talked about by the people so far.

Zhu Yijun immediately understood what Wan Shihe was saying, in fact, he was a complete free trader!

The speech was so rebellious that Zhu Yijun thought that these people were simply regurgitating, using outrageous speeches to satirize some propositions.

"Hehe, don't bother, like a madman." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and sneered, Daming does not have this kind of soil, it is a joke.

Wang Chonggu's brows were twisted into pimples, and he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this trend of thought is very dangerous, the garden in any villa, without pruning, will not get flowers, but wild growth. ”

"In the fourth year of Wanli, there are 17,000 weavers in the woolen official factory, because of the technological improvement of spinning and the steam engine, this year, we only need 7,000 weavers is enough, compared with four years ago, this year's care of 7,000 weavers is more than 53,353 pieces of cloth in Wanli four years, so what are the remaining 10,000 weavers going to do? Can't let them sell themselves in the green building? ”

"We have reduced the investment in steam engines and new textile machines this year, and eliminated 3,000 weavers, and these weavers have been eliminated for many reasons, but they still have a place to go, that is, the woolen factories that continue to appear among the people."

"According to them, if the court does not interfere, I am afraid that there is no such woolen business, this so-called freedom is just for the sake of grandiose exploitation, and the minister thinks that this wind must not be promoted."

Wang Chonggu is an industrialist, he knows too well the harm of this kind of liberalism, and the technological upgrade without any plan will only harm and cause the displacement of the people, not only the woolen official factory, but also the shipyard of Daming, the Weaving Bureau, the Cotton Spinning Bureau, the Taotushan Baitu Factory, the Xishan Coal Bureau, the Datong Coal Bureau, and so on.

Wang Chonggu believes that this completely liberal trend of thought is extremely dangerous, and it is necessary to be vigilant, and it is to completely transfer the risk downward, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can bear the risk of covering up luxury households and prominent families.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhu Yijun was ready to observe and observe this kind of wind and public opinion, and strictly banned and stifled, which sometimes backfired.

After the end of the court meeting, Zhu Yijun specially left Wan Shihe and asked about many matters related to the Tuman Khan's entry into Beijing to pay tribute, and the Ming side has been prepared, even if the Tuman Khan is dishonest and refuses to come, the Beijing camp will be led by Qi Jiguang to 'invite' the Tuman Khan to Beijing, and at that time, it will not be the current treatment.

After Wan Shihe finished talking about business, he did not retire immediately, but after thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, Sun Kehong's seven things about opening the sea, the minister does not think it is stupid, and the minister does not accept the silver of Sun Shangzong, and speaks well for Sun Shangzong, which also talks about the old things of Yongle and Xuande." ”

"During the Yongle period, the British Gong Zhang Fu swept away the country of Annan twice, but during the Xuande period, he still lost Annan, and this is not because Annan has a heart of disobedience, but it is really caused by my Ming Dynasty at that time after Annan became the thirteenth division of Jiaozhi."

Wan Shihe talked about Zhang Fu's two victories in the southern country, and the reason why the Ming Jiaozhi Thirteen Divisions maintained for 22 years and finally failed to stabilize the rule, Wan Shihe was already very tactful, but Zhang Fu pacified twice and left twice, and the Ming Dynasty did too many bad things in Jiaozhi officials and eunuchs, which can be said to be cruel and deprived.

A large part of the reason for the restoration of Annan was the oppression of the people by the officials who tried their best to fish.

The Ming Dynasty lost the thirteen divisions of Jiaozhi during the Xuande period, which is a historical lesson, and to this day, this historical legacy problem is not easy to solve, it is a legacy problem for the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a legacy problem for Annan.

Annan has been completely ruled by China for more than a thousand years, and its culture, political system, military, and economy are highly converged with the Ming Dynasty, but now Annan has become a vassal state, which has also caused many endogenous problems in Annan, and there is no way out.

Therefore, when Sun Kehong proposed seven things to open the sea, Wan Shihe expressed his approval.

"Wanghua's road is indeed not as direct as Taixi's complete plunder, and Wanghua may even lose money, but the advantage of Wanghua is that after Wanghua, it is to expand the territory." Wan Shihe has always been dismissive of the theory of high moral disadvantage of Li Yashi, and he believes that high morality will indeed be at a disadvantage in the short term and an advantage in the long run.

Because, the kingization of the Ming Dynasty will bring the real land county, not the tribute, vassal, fetters and comfort, exhaustion and fishing of the stripping, not the real land county, after the king, the old port, Luzon, Ryukyu, Nagasaki, are the Ming Dynasty's mainland, not a colony, this is the Ming Dynasty open sea and Taixi navigation essence of the difference.

"What Aiqing said is extremely true." Zhu Yijun thought about it again and again, recognized Wan Shihe's statement, and then changed his words and asked: "What does the great uncle think of the current situation in the court?" ”

"Zhang Dang is in charge of the cabinet and the ministry; The Jin Party is in charge of the household department and the criminal department; Zhejiang Party is in charge of the military department and the Ministry of Industry; The Minister is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Hai Gangfeng, Zhang Dang, and Jin Dang are in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can be said to be just the right balance. "Wan Shihe did not choose to say the of the king's saints and ministers, the faction of the Ming courtiers is very clear, Ma Ziqiang is the descendant of the Zhang party, before he left the dynasty, the strength of the Ming faction was unbalanced, Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites can be described as a monopoly.

Among them, Wan Shihe and Hai Jui are all pure imperial parties.

"Your Majesty, Mr. as the Yuan Fu Emperor's Division, Auxiliary Your Majesty so far, there is no transgression, and it is also regarded as the imperial party, when Mr. is there, this balance is there, Mr. is not there, I am afraid that there will be a big change." Wan Shihe went further and made his view clear.

Zhang Juzheng, as another core of the imperial party, overwhelmed all ambitious people, what if Zhang Juzheng was gone.

"Sir, he's fine." Zhu Yijun is very concerned about Zhang Juzheng's health, the first 15th day of the first year will diagnose the pulse, Zhang Juzheng's body, although it is not called the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but it is very healthy, Zhang Juzheng is still very young, he is only fifty-seven years old, for a cabinet chief, this age is really young.

Xu Jie, that old thing, lived to be in his 80s, and Yan Song lived to be 87 years old.

"Your Majesty is already at the peak of spring and autumn." Wan Shihe point to the end, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Juzheng has completed his historical mission, the lord Shaoguo is suspicious to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty, since the historical mission has been completed, it is time to leave or die, and it will be annoying to stay any longer.

Wan Shihe's words are very dangerous, even if they don't over-interpret, Empress Dowager Li is also in the range of being tired of Zhang Juzheng, if she interprets it too much, even Zhu Yijun should be tired of Zhang Juzheng.

This may be the sequelae of Zhang Juzheng not usurping the power of the lord, Daming does not thank Zhang Juzheng, from top to bottom.

Wan Shihe glanced at the emperor, in fact, right now, it is the best time for His Majesty to make a move, because the Tuban Khan surrendered, Altan Khan is old, invincible to foreign troubles, Zhang Juzheng is the weakest time after he became a country, the Ministry of Rites has just been out of the control of the Zhang Party, and the head case involves Luo Yao under Zhang Juzheng's door.

But Wan Shihe thought about it for a while, and decided that His Majesty would not do it, or that he had not considered it at all, His Majesty had never regarded Zhang Juzheng as an enemy of the pro-government, and in the same way, His Majesty listened to the government from the imperial gate, and quarreled with the audience, and when His Majesty was studying and studying on the stage, he was already pro-government.

Zhu Yijun said solemnly: "Uncle Zong's words, Mr. is afraid that he is in danger, no, Mr. is against it again, and the two hundred Tielin troops in Yicheng Bofu should also be equipped with Mr., and it is appropriate to guard him in and out." ”

"This law does not violate the ancestral system, when Yang Tinghe was in the last years of Zhengde, he made a murder list, and the special party fought against dissidents and excluded dissidents, which can be described as majestic, and more than 300 people went in and out of the guards. Wan Shihe immediately found the ancestral law for the emperor.

Wan Shihe sometimes can't understand how this Yang Tinghe was rated as a loyal and upright minister of the society, if Yang Tinghe is the minister of the society, wouldn't he be able to evaluate a state and a country? ! The murder list party excludes dissidents and violates the system to protect the left and right, this is what a loyal minister can do?

Yang Tinghe is not a super product, and he also got more than 300 guards, Zhang Juzheng is a super earl canonized by the Ming Emperor, and the Tielin Army is the ancestor of the law, and two hundred people are responsible for protection, which is more than enough.

"Mr. has not even collected Bing Jing Carbon Respect in the past few years, and the internal government is responsible for this expenditure, and the great uncle persuaded Mr. that it is more appropriate to do this matter before the Shangyuan Festival." Zhu Yijun gave clear instructions and set a deadline.

"Obey." Wan Shihe was not ambiguous, and bowed to the leader.

It is not easy to convince Zhang Juzheng, especially as His Majesty shows more and more wisdom, after Zhang Juzheng's biggest heart disease is gone, Zhang Juzheng has become more and more obedient to the righteousness of his courtiers over the years, and last year he even really planned to serve for a long time.

Put it on others, this matter may be difficult to do, but Wan Shi and this clever jack-of-all-trades are the most suitable to do this, and he knows Zhang Juzheng's weakness, and the gentleman had better bully.

Wan Shihe went to the Quanchu Hall in the afternoon, and after being polite with Zhang Juzheng, he explained his intention.

"Uncle Zong's words are absolutely inappropriate, I have no meritorious deeds, and it is already a great rebellion to judge the merits of the uncle, and it is not a pity to die as soon as this Tielin Army comes out?" Zhang Juzheng really refused, he understood the reason why His Majesty asked him to form two hundred Tielin Army by himself, but he didn't want to do that.

Wan Shi and the old god said: "The contradiction is written by Yuan Fu, Yuan Fu, when this contradiction intensifies, anything will happen, assassination, poisoning, slander, and the means are endless, Zhang Siwei put the charge on Gao Gong's head twice, Yuan Fu should not think that these things will not happen to him." ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "The eldest husband stands between heaven and earth, it is a straight word, and I Zhang Juzheng has a clear conscience all my life." ”

Wan Shihe took a sip of tea and said, "Then Yuanfu can rest assured that Your Majesty?" If Motosuke really died at the hands of the villains, what would happen to Your Majesty? Open the skylight and say something bright, what kind of face is hidden under Your Majesty's sunny and cheerful smile, Yuan Fu thinks it is much clearer than me, and Yuan Fu doesn't want His Majesty to really fall into despair. ”

Wan Shihe knows Zhang Juzheng's weakness too well, the emperor is all the hope of Zhang Juzheng's new policy, once His Majesty becomes a monster, no one knows how crazy His Majesty will be.

"Uncle Zong's mouth, put it in the pre-Qin period, is more or less a vertical and horizontal family." Zhang Juzheng finally understood why the courtiers played the impeachment of Wan Shihe every day, this mouth was too vicious.

"Motosuke praised it." Wan Shihe replied happily.

Zhang Juzheng sighed, he really didn't boast, he scolded people with a gun and a stick, couldn't Wan Shihe really hear it?

"I won't recruit myself, so I'll draw twenty people from the cavalry, and then select one hundred and eighty sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp." Zhang Juzheng chose to compromise, the Tielin Army of Yicheng Bofu can be formed, but he will not recruit himself, His Majesty is the most suitable person to ask for someone directly, His Majesty is really annoyed by him, the emperor, and it is convenient to do it.

"Well, I'll go back to my life." Wan Shihe left the Quanchu Hall with a stagger, this appearance was quite unbeatable.

Zhu Yijun called Luo Sigong to him, and said to Luo Sigong very seriously: "Luo Sigong, I have given you a task to protect the safety of Mr., no matter who wants to kill Mr., I must stop him." ”

"Whoever it is?" Luo Sigong clenched the embroidered spring knife in his hand and asked.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Obey." Luo Sigong bowed to the leader's order.

He, the second master of the youth group, is just a little bit, obedient, Zhu Yijun asked him to beat the emperor, and he dared to do it.
