Chapter 177: Fight for the World
Conditions at the Golden State Center Left were tough.
Due to the limitation of production tools, this place has not been developed, and the water conservancy and irrigation facilities left by agricultural civilization have faded from generation to generation until they disappear without a trace under the washing of nomadic civilization for hundreds of years.
Just like the Ming and Qing dynasties, although the Ming Dynasty died, the firearms left by historical inertia were still shining in the early Qing Dynasty, but they were already declining in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
Facing the wilderness, woods, dirt slopes, leveling the land from scratch, digging ditches, it is not a day's work.
In Yuan Rong's eyes, it is really amazing that a small piece of barren and barren land can pry into the political situation in Beiping.
"Whoosh."
"Good archery."
Yuan Rong shot a yellow sheep, and Qiu Fu, who was riding on a horse beside him, boasted.
"In front of Qiu Qianhu, getting an axe at the end of the work door, you can't be praised by Qiu Qianhu, it's just an ugly offering"
"Yuan Gongzi is modest."
After hitting the prey, several military households carried the yellow sheep to the river to disembowel, and some people raised a bonfire to prepare to roast the whole sheep on the spot.
Qiu Fu led Yuan Rong and found a raised stone to sit on.
"This place is a treasure."
Qiu Fu pointed to this piece and sighed, "No wonder the eldest prince values this place. ”
"This place has been the land of grain production in China since before the pre-Qin period, and later the Sima family slaughtered the Gongsun family, causing the northeast to fall into small countries such as Goguryeo."
"Even the Tang Dynasty defeated Goguryeo and recovered the Northeast, but after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, this place fell back into barbarianism."
Yuan Rong looked at the barren Golden State, and only felt that the world was impermanent.
"According to the records of the pre-Qin books, the agriculture here is developed, and the output is the highest in the north, and it is a pity that in just a few hundred years, this place has been corrupted to its current state."
"Xiao Wang Ye believes that if the agricultural facilities in the northeast are rebuilt, tens of millions of people can be fed with just one acre of land."
A burst of aroma wafted in.
The roast lamb on the bonfire has entered the hands of the military households, tumbling on the flame, and the mutton exudes an attractive meat aroma during the barbecue.
Qiu Fu retracted his gaze and did not refute Yuan Rong's words.
Military households are also peasant households.
The quality of the land can be judged by the naked eye alone, "It's not a day's work." ”
Qiu Fu pointed out the difficulties: "The difficulty of reclamation requires a lot of manpower, and people cannot do without material resources, so I am afraid that it will consume many people's lives. ”
"Therefore, the eldest prince proposed to buy Japanese slaves, cut down forests, level the land, build ditches, and cultivate acres of land in Liaodong, which can not only speed up this process, but also reduce the burden of my Ming Dynasty."
Yuan Rong led the topic here, and took the opportunity to say, "You write a charter, so in the name of resisting the Japanese, Jinzhou Zhongzuo will apply for a batch of military equipment from the Beiping Palace, and I will bring it back and hand it over to the palace." ”
After Yuan Rong finished speaking, he waited for Qiu Fu's reply.
This move is tantamount to the implementation of the ownership of the Golden State Central Left Institute.
Jinzhou Wei was subordinate to the Shandong Buzheng Division, but the sage was concerned that there was no vassal king in Liaodong, so he ordered that the exiled criminals should be supervised by King Yan.
This can be a fuss.
When the ownership of the upper part is unclear, the attitude of the people below can play a key role, which end they listen to, which end controls the real power.
It was Xiao Wangye, Yao Guangxiao, and Jin Zhong who were the first to plan and dig out a piece of meat from Liaodong.
"Will the prince be angry?"
Qiu Fu is not a fool, and asked the key.
Yuan Rong did not answer.
How to choose, it depends on Qiu Fu.
Seeing this, Qiu Fu did not continue to ask Yuan Rong again.
He already had the answer in his heart, and he didn't need anyone else to answer him, as for where to go, Qiu Fu got up and walked to the campfire.
……
Yuan Rong brought back Qiu Fu's letter asking for help.
Zhu Di accepted Qiu Fu's letter, but he didn't give Yuan Rong a good face, and Yuan Rong on the side was so frightened that he didn't dare to be rude.
In front of the prince, he didn't dare to disobey the prince if he killed him, but in front of the little prince, he didn't want to disobey the little prince.
No matter what happens to the prince and the little prince, they are father and son after all.
"."
Zhu Di saw that Yuan Rong was so frightened that he was at a loss, and scolded, but Yuan Rong not only did not get angry, but escaped as if relieved.
A son-in-law is half a son, what happened when he was scolded by Lao Tzu, Yuan Rong comforted himself.
Soon.
Ge Cheng, Yu Fengchen, Jin Zhong, Yao Guangxiao and others came to the hall.
"Look at it." Zhu Di said coldly.
The eunuch took Qiu Fu's letter and handed it to everyone to read in turn.
The hall was quiet.
"Qiu Qianhu thinks that he can defeat the Japanese Kou, which is a good thing for the imperial court, and he should support it." Jin Zhong broke the silence and spoke.
Ge Cheng looked surprised.
This person is so bold, he knows the prince's intentions, but he still dares to disobey it, is it because he feels that he has his back to the eldest prince?
Sure enough, Zhu Di glared angrily.
Jin Zhong faced it calmly.
"The subordinates have a public heart, and the prince knows it."
"Where's the public heart?" Zhu Di asked coldly.
"The Japanese invaders gradually stopped six years ago, and even recurred in the second half of last year, which is impossible to prevent and is increasingly harmful to our Ming Dynasty."
"Liaodong is the most troubled area, Qiu Qianhu has the courage to fight, why shouldn't he support it?"
"May I ask you, can Qiu Qianhu defeat the Wakos?" Jin Zhong calmly asked everyone.
Ge Cheng and the others were speechless.
Qiu Fu's talent will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese Kou.
Not only Qiu Fu, but also how many generals in Beiping have this ability, and the difficulty of the Japanese is not that the Japanese can fight, but that the Japanese are ghostly.
In the vast sea, where can you prepare for it?
The Ming Dynasty built many military forts by the sea, but the Japanese were not stupid, so they would naturally change to a place without a military fort.
Daming has a large population and many cities, unlike the grassland, which is uninhabited for thousands of miles, and there are no traces of people.
"At least, Qiu Qianhu is the first general willing to take charge of this matter, so the palace should support him." Jin Zhong said firmly.
Fighting against Japanese is a chore.
The generals are not afraid of war, nor are they afraid of dying in battle.
But the anti-Japanese is too passive, and no one knows when to wait and where there is a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
It is better to resist the Japanese than to march north.
Although it is difficult to find the enemy in the northern expedition, there is always a hope, and in the eyes of people, the anti-Japanese war is a matter of all luck.
If you meet the Japanese with the army, it is luck, if you don't have this luck, you can only nest in the fort bitterly.
If they go ashore in any place and the place is eroded, it is easy to be implicated.
Resisting the Japanese is a great righteousness.
The royal palace itself has the responsibility of supervising the Jinzhou Middle School, and no one can blame it, but it is also vulnerable to backlash.
Ge Cheng couldn't help but say: "If the Japanese invaders land in Jinzhou, and Qiu Qianhu can't rush to support, and the Japanese invaders burn stupidly and loot and flee into the sea, then someone with a heart can use this as an excuse to impeach the royal palace." ”
Everyone knows this truth, and it is also the reason why no one is willing to take on the responsibility of resisting the Japanese.
It's too easy to take the blame.
"The royal palace should not be implicated in this matter." Yu Fengchen spoke out in support of Ge Cheng.
Two votes to one.
Yao Guangxiao was not an official of the Changshi Mansion, so he didn't speak out.
Jin Zhong fell behind.
"The little prince once said that there are things to do and things not to do." Jin Zhongli overrode the public opinion and insisted: "Some things are the bottom line. ”
"What is beneficial to the country, the prince should not be afraid of responsibility."
Jin Zhong stood up and bowed his hand, righteously speaking. "If even the prince is afraid of responsibility and is unwilling to shoulder heavy responsibilities, who will?"
Before Zhu Di could answer, Ge Cheng knew that Jin Zhong had won.
Why does the sage like King Yan.
It is precisely because King Yan is responsible.
The entire development north of Beiping was fought by King Yan, including the great victory of the previous year, and the sage successively set up Kaiping Wei and Daning Wei outside the Great Wall.
In fact, it was to carve up the fruits of King Yan's victory, but King Yan never complained.
Zhu Di stroked his chin.
Jin Zhong's righteous words are actually trying to gain power, but what he said is reasonable, and resisting the Japanese is a big deal.
Ge Cheng didn't speak, and Yu Fengchen on the side stood up.
"The matter of Jinzhou involves Shandong, and it should be informed of the Shandong Political Secretary, not the end of the palace, which will cause criticism."
Yu Fengchen arched his hand at Zhu Di and sincerely admonished: "There are already voices of dissatisfaction with the political secretary of Beiping, and with the political secretary of Shandong, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the palace." ”
"Please think twice." Ge Cheng followed.
Kim Zhong objected.
"The officials of the political department have no responsibility, they will only be internal, and if the palace does not take action in this matter, then there is no end to the matter of resisting the Japanese."
"Presumptuous."
Yu Fengchen seized the loophole in Jin Zhong's words, "The three divisions are the national policy of our dynasty, and I dare to despise them so much." ”
"When the remarks of the right envoy Jin spread, wouldn't it make the palace the target of public criticism."
"It's a gaffe."
Jin Zhong knew that he had said the wrong thing, although he thought so, but there were some things that he couldn't say in public.
"We think Jin Zhong is right."
Suddenly there was a voice, which startled everyone, and they all looked at the door, only to see Zhu Gaochi walking in with a smile.
Zhu Di wanted to question the grounding order, but he held back, in front of outsiders, he didn't want to hit the prestige of the boss.
The prince didn't speak, and the rest of the people didn't open their eyes to propose a grounding order.
Zhu Gaochi arched his hand to everyone.
The rebellion in Liaodong began in the 25th year of Hongwu and lasted until the 9th year of Yongle, which allowed Jinzhou to seize the opportunity to annihilate all the Japanese who landed on the shore.
In the past ten years, the people of Liaodong have suffered greatly, and Jinzhou has been sluggish for more than ten years because of the blockage of shipping.
Is it that the generals of the early Ming Dynasty can't fight?
Of course not.
What is lacking is a general who is willing to take on the responsibility of resisting the Japanese.
"The difficulty of the widow lies in the person who has the courage to do things, Qiu Fu is a person from the palace, he is willing to settle the trouble for the country, then the palace should not reject Qiu Fu regardless of criticism."
"Could it be that the responsibility of the palace is not as good as Qiu Fu!" Zhu Gao made a loud voice.
There was silence in the hall.
Zhu Gaochi did not give an inch in the face of Zhu Di's gaze.
He's not fighting for power.
It is for the battle of Jingjing, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
Under the strategy of cutting the domain, if the palace fails, he will not be able to escape death, he is not such a sage, and he is willing to pay for it, so he must support Zhu Di's rebellion.
So how to expand Zhu Di's power and do his best to eliminate the damage of this military disaster to the local area is the only thing he can do.
