Generally speaking, the empire has passed the dangerous time of the lord and the country, so the heroes who have maintained the stability of the country should retreat bravely, and if they do not retreat, they will die, as has always been the case.

But Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng are different from the monarchs and ministers of previous dynasties, mainly because the general trend is different, and the Ming Dynasty is changing from a land power to a big country with both land and sea power, Zhu Yijun needs Zhang Juzheng's continued assistance, and the Ming Dynasty also needs Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yijun knows his goal very clearly and clearly, and before he realizes the greatness of the Ming Dynasty again, Zhu Yijun does not allow Zhang Juzheng to have an accident.

Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong, this guy has only done one thing for so many years, that is, what the emperor says, and even formed an obsession, when Zhu Yijun sent Luo Sigong to Zhang Juzheng's side to protect, it means that the holy decree covered with the treasure seal of the Ming Emperor will be invalid, unless Zhu Yijun himself orders it.

Zhu Yijun said everyone, that is, including himself.

Luo Sigong selected twenty cavalry, came to the Quanchu Hall, immediately went to the Beijing camp, Qi Jiguang transferred one hundred and eighty sharp soldiers, the formation of Yicheng Bofu Tielin Army, this one hundred and eighty sharp soldiers need to go through the formalities, the transfer of more than 100 people, the need for the military department, the Beijing camp general soldier and His Majesty's Zhu approval, in order to complete the transfer, this procedure only took half a day, these sharp soldiers arrived at the Quanchu Hall.

Zhang Ju was on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, pasted his floating tickets with all the music sent today, and when he didn't go home, he saw Luo Sigong waiting in front of Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Meet Motosuke." Luo Sigong bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty sent me to protect my husband's safety." ”

"Luo Qianhu is very polite." Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Sigong and was a little confused for a while, Zhang Juzheng's character of this person couldn't be clearer, he always thought that His Majesty specially cultivated Luo Sigong to protect the emperor's own safety.

But, now Luo Sigong is standing in front of him.

Zhang Juzheng knows Zhu Yijun too well, this is not a temporary decision, obviously the emperor's respect on weekdays is not the emperor's mental trick, Luo Sigong is by Zhang Juzheng's side, and even the means of falsely transmitting the holy decree will become ineffective, because Luo Sigong does not recognize the holy decree, only His Majesty.

"You should go back and protect Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng feels that this shadow-like character should stay by His Majesty's side, so that His Majesty will be safer, even if he is gone, His Majesty is here, and the Ming New Deal will still be there.

Luo Sigong said very stubbornly: "Your Majesty said that I will protect Mr., and whatever Your Majesty says is what it is." ”

Zhang Juzheng gave up persuasion, this person admits death, and it is not something that he can fool with his clever tongue.

Luo Sigong's protection is very professional, far stronger than the family of the whole Chu Hall, arrange travel, personnel screening, check hidden dangers, food inspections, etc., in the hands of professional Luo Sigong, these are arranged very properly, to investigate hidden dangers as an example, Zhang Juzheng stayed the most place, that is, Wenchang Pavilion, but this study, there is no lightning protection, or Tiqi with people to settle it, and some fire hazards in the house have been eliminated one by one.

Even Luo Sigong also found a few spies from the family, these spies were mainly to find out the news of the Quanchu Guild Hall, but at the critical moment, it may not become a sharp blade for assassination.

Luo Sigong's method of investigation is very simple, His Majesty's mutual reporting and exposure method, there is not a single eye on the box in these years to stare at who is informing, but anyone who provides clues can get a reward, under this kind of reporting and exposure, who is interested in whom between the little girl and the maidservant girl is known to Ti Qi.

After Luo Sigong arrived at the Quanchu Guild Hall, the security of the Quanchu Guild Hall was raised to the same level as Tonghe Palace.

And Zhu Yijun was reading a book by the new Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Wanshi and Shang, the content of which was about the stalk of Nuer Gandusi.

Obstruction: Blockage, infarction is that the Ming Dynasty gradually lost control of the slave Gandusi.

This book is quite professional, and Wan Shihe started from the tenth year of Jiajing.

In the tenth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing decreed that during the Yongle period, Wura, Nuergan and other places recruited and combined guns and arrows to upgrade the official flag were still allowed to attack. After the first year of Hongxi, all reforms were reduced.

During the Yongle period, the nuer gandu commanders, commanders, and descendants of the official banner were still hereditary, but the chieftains who were appeased after the first year of Hongxi were all deprived of hereditary rights.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing made such a decision was that since Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Nuer Gandusi began to stalk.

What happened, because of the lack of sufficient historical materials, Wan Shihe can only be inferred through the contents of "Yongning Temple Records", "Reconstruction of Yongning Temple Inscriptions", Taizong Records, Xuanzong Records, etc.

Wan Shihe inferred that after the death of Emperor Zhu Di of Chengzuwen, a rebellion of a certain scale occurred in Liaodong, which caused the Ming Dynasty to lose control of the Nuer Gandu Division, and the rebels even broke through the Yongning Temple, so that there was a matter of rebuilding the Yongning Temple, and the rebellion was triggered by: Haidongqing.

During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty wanted 20 Haidongqing every year, and the Nuer Gandu Division had to capture at least 50 Haidongqing to prevent the violent death on the road and could not complete the tribute, this Haidongqing is really not easy to catch, flying fast is still a bird of prey, with the reputation of the god of ten thousand eagles, Haidongqing this bird, in Liaodong, Nuer Gandu Division also has the symbol of the sacred bird, is the messenger of the mother of the gods.

When Zhu Di was still alive, he was forced by Zhu Di's force and did not dare to act rashly. After the news of Zhu Di's death reached the Nuer Gandu Division, the local disobedient people immediately took advantage of Hai Dongqing's faith and the hardships of capturing Hai Dongqing's labor to mobilize the people and set off a rebellion.

This is not Wan Shihe in the absence of a target, Wan Shihe also cited the rise of the Jin State after the destruction of the Liao State, the completion of the Yan Agu to gather all the Jurchen tribes, capture the Liao State Eagle Officer, raise troops to destroy the Liao old thing, said: Liao Jin provoked Hai Dongqing, jade claw name Eagle tribute stopped for a long time.

The labor of capturing Hai Dongqing was extremely hard, and in the Tatar Qing Dynasty, the savage Jurchen still had to keep capturing Hai Dongqing and sending it to the palace, and even rebelled.

The purpose of Wan Shi and Shang's letter is mainly for one thing, that is, to tell Your Majesty that north of Liaodong, the disobedience to the Ming Dynasty was long to the first year of Hongxi 170 years ago, and it has been a long time.

This note is very professional, the content quoted is extremely extensive and detailed, the arguments are clear, the arguments are supported by inscriptions, letters and history, the logic is meticulous and reasonable, and the systematic discussion of the Ming Dynasty's loss of Nuer Gandusi in the process of stalk, the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty's decision-making and various mistakes in the process of kingization, simple military fetters, can not form effective rule and stable border security.

And Wan Shihe and this book are played in the name of the Ministry of Rites, not the result of him alone, but a common understanding of many officials of the Ministry of Rites who study the law of etiquette.

The Ming Dynasty had completely lost interest in tributary states and vassal states, and even had very clear doubts about the function of the simple fetters and consolation divisions.

Bondage has a fart!

Only the real land counties, that is, the garrison, the taxation, the people of Qi, the car with the same track, the same text, is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In the process of constantly opening the sea, the Ming Dynasty has become more conservative, the Ming Dynasty has lost the only little trust in Fanyi, the tributary state, the vassal state is just an enemy with different names, the security of the Ming sea frontier and the border, can not play any practical role, Xiu Wende to Rouyuan people's diplomatic ideas are being abandoned, only really eat the interests in the stomach can be satisfied.

This editorial is of great significance, and the content is extremely detailed, but not many people can read it from the beginning to the end, because he writes too professionally.

Zhu Yijun agrees with this change, and after thinking about it, he wrote eight words on this note: not for the knife, that is, for the fish.

The Ming Emperor accurately refined the content of Wan Shihe's speech and made a concise summary, which is the Ming Dynasty's current great debate, obtained a basic principle of international competition, which is completely contrary to the traditional Confucian etiquette in the view that there is everything with etiquette, and it is more like propagating a kind of 'law of the jungle' theory of violence.

"Your Majesty's summary can be described as a whip into the inside, into the wood, to the point, to the point, to the point!" Feng Bao read Wan Shihe's book, he was dizzy when he read it, the number of words was too much, and he wrote five thousand words freely, and His Majesty summed it up in only eight words.

If you want not to be stripped of it, you have to become a meat eater.

"You're going to be a sycophant." Zhu Yijun sneered and continued to review the recital.

On the 14th day of the first month of the ninth year of Wanli, the day before the Lantern Festival, Zhu Yijun took Wang Yaozhuo to secretly hide in the Star Picking Tower to watch the performance of the lights of Aoshan.

"Husband, I chatted with Concubine Liu and Concubine Li, their heart disease is actually very easy to solve, it is enough to have a child, my mother said that I would choose two more concubines to enter the palace, or wait for Concubine Liu and Concubine Li to become pregnant?" Wang Yaozhuo looked at the emperor's sneaky appearance, and felt funny, His Majesty is really a very interesting person, and he doesn't want to pay if he wants to see it.

Zhu Yijun stared at the clairplane and said: "The lady's arrangement is, good guy, this iron flower is amazing!" ”

There is a flower shed at the performance site, which is placed in the gossip, the artists carry a gourd scoop, put the upper rod into the molten iron furnace to hold the molten iron, run to the flower shed, hit the upper rod with the lower rod, the red iron flower suddenly burst in the hands of the artist, a total of 24 people participated in the performance, one stick after another, one person and one person, back and forth between the furnace and the flower shed, a stick of iron flowers rose to the sky, another stick followed, the stick was connected, and the stream was endless.

And the dragon lantern of the Dragon Lantern Festival is constantly shuttling under the iron flower, which is called the dragon wearing flowers, or the dragon dance, which is extremely lively.

The fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, and the sky is full of molten iron and colored smoke.

"Lady also come and see." Zhu Yijun motioned to Wang Yaozhuo to come and see Tiehua, just once a year.

Wang Yaozhuo and Zhu Yijun watched the entire Aoshan lights, wonderful, Wang Yaozhuo wanted to help the sisters, but this unsolvable knot, the only solution is the child, with a child, Concubine Liu and Concubine Li may treat Your Majesty as a family, so they can let it go, at the moment this is just to know the roots, I'm afraid it's not enough.

The excitement of the Shangyuan Festival finally came to an end, Wang Yaozhuo followed Zhu Yijun to get on the car back to Tonghe Palace, and went along the small railway, Wang Yaozhuo touched his stomach and looked out the window, such a lively day had nothing to do with Concubine Liu and Concubine Li, the two of them were waiting in the palace, frightened.

In the confined space, Zhu Yijun's hands were a little dishonest, Wang Yaozhuo leaned on the emperor's arms, her face turned red, and she said with a slight wheez: "Husband, the concubine can't sleep today." ”

"What's wrong? Is it again? Zhu Yijun asked with a little surprise.

"Hmm." Wang Yaozhuo was also a little annoyed, she knew the taste of eating marrow, she had a body, and she couldn't sleep for at least a year and a half, it took ten months to give birth to a child, and it took another six months to recover after giving birth.

Zhu Yijun is no longer messing around, holding Wang Yaozhuo, chattering, the content of the chatter is more messy, mainly about the previous dynasty, Shaanxi Lanzhou woolen factory finally produced worsted wool this year, and also found a white clay mine, the day does not fulfill people's wishes that the white clay mine is a little deep, not very easy to dig; Yunnan's coinage has fallen into a bottleneck, and the output of Yunnan copper has been comprehensively surpassed by Luzon. The discovery of oil black gold on the island of Java is the actual control area of Daming, which can be vigorously exploited, and the supply of Daming light oil has been somewhat guaranteed;

Wang Yaozhuo has been following Zhu Yijun all these years, and has some opinions on these things, such as the Yunnan copper thing cannot be stopped, this is the pillar of Yunnan, stopped, where is the development of Yunnan? For example, this Java is very close to the Strait of Malacca, and the Strait of Malacca is in the hands of Hongmaofan for a day, so you can't feel at ease, and the couch on your side will not allow others to snore.

The car stopped in front of the gate of Tonghe Palace, Zhu Yijun went to the bathroom to wash, and Wang Yaozhuo came to the Calyx Building, where Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were waiting.

"The two of you entered the palace with the palace, it has been three years, and Concubine Zhou and Concubine Ran, who entered the palace later, have children, you should be worried and uneasy, the more worried you are, the more you are not saintly, the more worried you are and cautious, how can you do this? Today, this palace will show you a clear path, and it is up to you whether you can grasp it or not. Wang Yaozhuo put away his weakness in front of the emperor, and picked up the shelf of the lord of the harem, his tone was extremely flat.

"Empress Xie Chitose pointed!" Concubine Liu and Concubine Li glanced at each other, made a big salute, and left with the eunuch.

Zhu Yijun was taking a bath in the Huaqing Pool in the bathroom, he was a little distracted, thinking about the affairs of the court, and suddenly in the haze of smoke, he saw two figures, his hand pressed on the knife hanging by the pool, and slowly pulled it out.

Unexpectedly, there was an assassin in the bathroom of Tonghe Palace!

The knife is something that Zhu Yijun often puts at hand, and the assassin king kills Wang Jinglong, one long and one short, two knives, after slashing on the dragon bed, Zhu Yijun's knife has never left him.

"Who?" Zhu Yijun held a knife, kept vigilant, and even held a knife, and walked out of Huaqing Pool step by step, seeing that the figure was a woman, and it was quite plump, two gourd-shaped figures, when fighting, the mind was too broad, but it was cumbersome, and the other party had no weapons.

Not much of a threat.

Zhu Yijun frowned, and was even a little dissatisfied! The first master of the youth group of the Imperial Empire sent two unarmed palace maids to assassinate him?! It's humiliation! There were more than 20 palace maids who assassinated Dao Ye at the beginning, and it was my turn to send two of them! Look who can't afford it!!

Zhu Yijun was more worried that Luo Sigong had just been sent out, and there was such a serious problem with the security of the Tonghe Palace.

"Concubines Liu Mengshu and Li Jin meet Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were frightened, kneeling on the ground and trembling, they thought about His Majesty's reaction, but they never expected that His Majesty would actually pull out the knife!

"Huh?" Zhu Yijun heard the voice, and only then did he fully understand that he was not an assassin.

Thinking about it, two people can walk in without an inch, it is already a great determination, in order to get the determination of the Holy Favor and worry about the future, coupled with the shyness under the current conservative education, it is also common to be ashamed to speak up.

This is obviously deliberately put in by the flowers and birds so that Feng Bao would have been put in, otherwise it would have been reported in advance, and the flowers and birds made Feng Bao more or less figure out what the emperor liked.

Liu Mengshu and Li Jin were bolder, she went out, and waited for the two concubines to enter the palace, Your Majesty was afraid that she would never see her again, she said loudly: "The two concubines are here to serve Your Majesty to bathe." ”

"Excuse me." Zhu Yijun nodded, he was a little too cautious, this is Tonghe Palace, which is the nest that he has been operating for nine years.

Liu Mengshu and Li Jin saw that His Majesty did not reprimand, and gradually let go of their bodies, and the sound of running water in Huaqing Pond was more laughter.

"Who asked you to come along?" Zhu Yijun felt a little weird, such an outrageous thing, the two girls were not so bold.

"The two concubines went to ask the queen, and the queen Chitose said, if you don't break it, you won't stand up, and you will bully more and less! We're just here. Li Jinyi gritted his silver teeth, tied his head rope, and got into the water, the scabbard was slightly rusty, and only the smooth and white back floated in the water.

"Wait a while, wait a while, it's warm and cold, be careful of the wind chill, go back to the dormitory and come again, hiss!" Zhu Yijun stopped again and again, but the golden knife finally entered the two scabbards.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun sat up, shook his head, took a deep breath, looked at the two snowy colors, and realized that yesterday's absurdity was really absurd, which was obviously a violation of etiquette.

"You two don't have to worry, the queen told me yesterday that there is no hurry to take a concubine, wait for the time being." Zhu Yijun changed his clothes and planned to go to the Wenhua Palace after breakfast, and before leaving, he gave the two of them a reassurance.

Zhu Yijun moved his body and got on the big road, only to be sure that he was not wrong last night, these two people were indeed assassins, and even said that they were even more difficult to deal with than assassins! Take this to test the emperor, which emperor can withstand this test?!

Either you can't let it go, or you let it go too far.

In today's court meeting, a note from Zhang Yuanxun, the Marquis of Yingyang, the Marquis of the Old Port, was sent to the DPRK and China, and in this note, it was the coastal defense inspection of the Ming Dynasty that caught an English fleet near Borneo in September last year, and the coastal defense inspection of the Ming Dynasty was released after repeated interrogation and confirmation that the other party was indeed from England.

And this England fleet, to avoid the pursuit of the Goa Governor's Palace, did not take the Strait of Malacca into the Western Ocean, but went to the Banda Sea, bypassed the Strait of Malacca from the south of Java, and entered the Western Ocean (Indian Ocean), and the coastal defense inspection of the Ming Dynasty also explored the route south of Java, a long way, but it is indeed a channel that can bypass the Strait of Malacca.

Wan Shihe sorted out the notes in his hand and said: "The captain's name is Francis Drake, in the fifth year of Wanli, on the order of the Queen of England, he led five ships from Plymouth, England, and began a voyage around the world, because the star map and the needle map were in the hands of Portugal and Spain, they explored for a longer time, and in the city of freedom, Francis robbed a Portuguese galleon, so they became pirates and were hunted everywhere. ”

"It took Captain Francis two years to reach the Strait of Magellan, the southernmost point of the New World, two weeks to cross the Strait of Magellan, and in crossing the Strait of Magellan, they lost two ships, and then it took another seven months for them to reach Chile, where they were almost captured by the natives."

"In February of the eighth year of Wanli, Captain Francis, after robbing the treasure ship Kakafogo, finally obtained the needle map, star map and method from the New World to Luzon, and in March they set off, and after four months they arrived at the Yuanxu Islands, and when they were caught by our coastal defense inspection, they were left with only two ships."

Wanli five years of departure, to Wanli seven years of September, only to detour through the Strait of Malacca, into the Atlantic, and Taixi's galleon, can from Taixi once a year to the Ming Dynasty, this is the advantage of information, and this kind of exploration, very, very risky.

Zhu Yijun flipped through the notes of the voyage a little, and after Zhang Yuanxun grabbed the three English ships, he pulled the ships to Manila for repair and cleaning, and by the way, he copied all their charts, needle maps, and star maps.

Francis Drake was given the order to circumnavigate the globe.

After robbing the Cakafogo and obtaining the star maps and pins needed for the voyage, he succeeded and will return home in April of this year.

England, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands (Netherlands) competed for overseas interests, and the curtain began with the smooth return of Francis.

Zhu Yijun had a huge blue gem in his hand, which was one of the trophies that Francis snatched, and after being captured by the Ming Dynasty, Francis presented him to Zhang Yuanxun, the Marquis of Yingyang, and then sent it to the emperor.

"On December 14 last year, we arrived in Manila in Luzon with a total of 20 three-masted ships, this batch of them returned by the equatorial current after completing the deal in Peru, and our exploration fleet is still exploring the Atlantic, and this return voyage has completed the route to the Viceroyalty of Mexico and the Viceroyalty of Peru." Wan Shihe also talked about Zhang Yuanxun's achievements in the exploration of waterways.

In general, the Ming Dynasty is also carrying out a great voyage, and from the information obtained, the Ming exploration fleet is the largest in the world, whether it is Magellan's round-the-world voyage or Francis's round-the-world voyage, it is an adventure based on three or five ships, and the Ming exploration fleet is extremely arrogant, as soon as it is shot, it is five five-masted ships, a stargazing ship, seventy-two three-masted plywood ships, and the number of people exceeds 4,000 people.

This is due to volume.

After Wan Shihe finished speaking, there was silence for a long time in the Wenhua Palace, England, the Netherlands, and France all discovered the huge interests of navigation, and the Ming Dynasty has a rich background in this regard, but it seems that the interests are not sensitive enough, the scale is indeed the largest, but the Ming Dynasty has fallen behind in the layout of the Great Navigation.

The reason why the courtiers are silent is to think about a problem, if there is no His Majesty insists on opening the sea, with the support of the sea profit, the center of the world, the Celestial Empire, I am afraid that it will move from the east to the west, which is unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty in any case, in the land of the Central Plains, as long as it is a unified dynasty, it must be the center of the world.

They are all smart people, and as long as they have a little understanding of the things that have opened the sea in the past two years, they can make judgments.

Longqing switch, only opened for a month, the port city of the city, twisted and pinched, and Wanli opened the sea, when did it start?

In the sixth year of Longqing, Luo Gongchen, the owner of the Metropolitan Salary Pavilion and the same governor of Haiphong, went to Beijing to lobby the ministers to support the foreign ship drawing, Luo Gongchen did not get support, but Zhang Juzheng met Luo Gongchen, in the first year of Wanli, the galleon arrived in Hong Kong, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jin, two eunuchs, presided over the first foreign ship drawing.

The stingy and greedy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the impoverished and crazy Ming court, embarked on the road of opening the sea, and since then it has been out of control.

"I like gemstones, jadeite, and other things." Zhu Yijun took the sapphire in his hand and turned around, and said to the courtiers: "In the future, I will collect more, Feng Daban, after cutting this sapphire and making it into accessories, I will give it to the concubines." ”

"Obey." Feng Bao took the sapphire box.

The courtiers are very clear that His Majesty is still thrifty, does not like extravagance and waste, and his usual clothes are all Tsing Yi, His Majesty said this, is using his own reputation, but just one more reason to open the sea, the greedy and stingy emperor, the Eastern dragon who collects treasures.

Zhu Yijun doesn't cherish his reputation very much, and he naturally has to use it to raise a thrifty reputation.

"Your Majesty, Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun is waiting outside the palace." Zhang Juzheng talked about personnel changes, and after Wang Daokun returned to Beijing, Guo Chaobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was about to leave his post.

"Xuan."

"Governor Xuan, Songjiang Zuodu Yushi, Hubu Zuo Shilang, Wang Daokun, meet you!" Feng Bao shook off the dust and shouted loudly.

Wang Daokun walked up to the platform of the Wenhua Hall step by step, stood in front of the palace gate, looked back at the back, and walked from the scholar to the Wenhua Hall in the center of the empire, Wang Daokun spent almost his life and finally became the Duke of Mingming.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Wang Daokun bowed five times and bowed three times.

"Aiqing is exempt." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the minister has auspicious offerings." Wang Daokun stood up and bowed his head and said: "It is supervised by Guo Chaobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the construction of this boat has not yet been named, but after the derivation of the Maritime Academy and the Royal Gewu Academy, if the construction is successful, it will only take one and a half months to arrive at the Viceroyalty of Mexico from the new port of Songjiang Prefecture, and it will only take 13 days to cross the Atlantic, and a ship can carry 3.4 million catties of cargo." ”

Four small yellow doors carried a table covered with red silk cloth to the Wenhua Hall.

This is completely a project presided over by Wang Daokun, and he deliberately gave some credit for Xiangrui to Guo Chaobin, because Guo Chaobin was about to retire, and he Wang Daokun gave Guo Chaobin this credit so that he could take charge of the Ministry of Engineering.

This court is not all fighting, killing and killing, and there are also people who are sophisticated.

Give the Ming craftsmen a chance, and the Ming craftsmen also gave the Ming Emperor countless miracles.
