Zhu Qiyu thought about it, forget it, as long as you are rich and talented, it is enough to do your job well.

If you study everything so clearly, you can't be an emperor.

So Zhu Qiyu's tone changed: "During the defense of Beijing, Nian Aiqing supervised the transportation of grain and salary in Henan, and responded to the Beijing division without delay, which was very comforting.

Aiqing knows what happened when I summoned you to Beijing to report on your work this time? ”

Nianfu shook his head: "Weichen doesn't know." ”

"I want to open the sea ban and restart Western trade."

Rao is young man has always acted upright, and he has offended many powerful people, but when he heard this, he was still shocked.

The opening of the sea ban is a big deal, and the resumption of Western trade is not a casual joke.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Nian Aiqing doesn't need to panic, I have already thought about this matter, and the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government have already expressed their support."

Those who don't support it are either dead or driven away by me.

I now need a group of capable ministers who can truly serve the country and the people, and do not avoid the powerful and the powerful.

Like that kind of famous minister who is very famous and famous, but is actually difficult to deputy, I don't want to wait anymore. ”

The young and brainy are turning fast, and the important ministers who were driven away by the emperor are just Wang Zhi, Wang Ao, and Yu Qian.

Looking at it this way, the emperor is really benevolent.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is the golden rule since ancient times.

The emperor ascended the throne for three years, and only drove out three important ministers, two of whom still retained the position of Shangshu, which is already very restrained.

Without waiting for Nian Fu to speak, Zhu Qiyu explained: "Your old boss, Yu Qian, has been the governor of Shanxi for 19 years, and he is loved by the people, supported by the gentry, and praised by the vassal king, making him seem to be the first governor in the world.

As a result, he first led tens of thousands of cavalry to infiltrate Shanxi, set up ambushes, ambushes, and ambushes, and successfully ambushed three times in a row, destroying nearly 200,000 of our Ming elites.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, ambushing and ambushing, the defenders of Shanxi just can't find out.

I don't know, I thought it was Bai Qi Hanxin who was reincarnated first.

I really don't understand, is it not within the scope of the governor's duty to reorganize the army? Did I have some misunderstanding about the duties of the governor? ”

Nian Fu had no choice but to reply: "The governor of a province is in charge of the three divisions of a province, and the provincial capital department, the political envoy department, and the inspection envoy department must directly obey the orders of the governor of the province. When the minister was the political envoy of Henan, he also had to obey the orders of Yu Qian, the governor at that time. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded and continued: "There is something even more outrageous, Wang Ao is the right capital of the imperial history, and he is the commander of Liaodong military affairs, and his reputation is called a big one.

It is also a rigorous management of the army, and it is honest and loves the people, as a result, before and after the Tumubao Change, Totobuhua rushed into the hinterland of Liaodong with a partial teacher, and the tens of thousands of elite border troops led by Wang Ao were crushed at the touch of a button, hiding in the city of Guangning and holding on, allowing Totobuhua to loot everywhere and kidnapping tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

In the end, I had a cheeky old face and personally negotiated with Tokhtarbuhua to get the captured soldiers and civilians back.

Wang Ao led tens of thousands of troops, and Leng was like a king, shrinking in the city of Guangning motionless.

He is only a little more insignificant than Yang Hongqiang, and he is simply laughing to death.

Yang Hong wants to be a festival envoy, and I have already made it too late. Yu Qian and Wang Ao, I saw that they were civil servants and had a good character, so I gave them face and ignored them.

I have always kept these words in my heart, and I have never said them in public.

Today is the first time, and I am willing to talk to Aiqing because the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has a major role, and as soon as the sea ban is opened, the Japanese will prosper.

I don't want to see another celebrity who is loud and scary, but who will be exposed as soon as there is a fight.

What I want is a pillar of the country who can stand alone. ”

When Nian Fu heard this, he was both surprised and delighted.

What was surprising was that the emperor looked at Yu Qian, Wang Ao and others like this, which he had never heard of in his local office.

The good news is that the emperor really wants to be pragmatic and liquidate Xuanmiao's gambling and muddy national policy in the Ming frontier.

In fact, he has been in the place for a long time, and he understands in his heart that these things cannot be blamed on Yu Qian and Wang Ao.

The so-called good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.

Xuanzong is to abolish the military equipment and let it go freely, so the ministers below naturally don't bother to care about the military equipment.

After all, no matter how well you are armed, how exquisitely you build the defense line, and how tightly you are guarded, the emperor will neither praise you nor promote you because of this, and if you don't do it well, you will be troubled.

Therefore, the ministers can naturally only do what they like and patronize the so-called people's livelihood.

This point is even clearer when you are rich, although Xuande talks about recuperation every day, but from Xuanmiao to Sanyang, there is no clear route and goal.

Is it a planned construction of water conservancy and reclamation of wasteland? Is it a planned reform of the salt administration and the dredging of water transportation? Is it conscientiously opening up sources and reducing expenditures and filling the treasury? Or do you want to take a long-term view of trade and reform commercial taxes?

No, no, the monarchs and ministers of the Xuande Dynasty did not consider these at all, the so-called recuperation is all up to the local officials to do their own thing, and they want to come out of the way.

A magistrate with a strong sense of responsibility, governing rivers and building roads, this is already a great conscience.

The magistrate who does not have a strong sense of responsibility is just a fool of the day.

The orthodox dynasty is not much better, Gongrang Emperor was still in charge of Sanyang before the pro-government, and after the pro-government, the battle of Luchuan, the southeast civil uprising, and the Tumubao change, the country was even more messed.

Therefore, for a truly idealistic and ambitious official like Nianfu, Xuande and orthodoxy are not good choices, and the emperor in front of him, although he is called absurd by the government and the opposition, is worth looking forward to.

However, the emperor's statement as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is indeed a bit confusing, according to the normal process of summoning the monarch and ministers, the minister should first show his talent and state his ideas, and then the emperor decides whether to give him an official position.

Now it's the other way around, the emperor first gave the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and then talked about specific governance ideas, which is really a bit absurd, and the rumors in the market are not all groundless.

The young man was full of thoughts, but Zhu Qiyu drank tea leisurely under the service of the favorite concubines.

After giving Nianfu enough time to think, Zhu Qiyu continued to ask: "Aiqing, in addition to serving as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, where do you plan to start?" ”

Zhu Qiyu directly didn't ask Nianfu if he was willing to take this errand, because Nianfu had already said at the beginning: Eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king. So what's so polite?

Nian Fu thought for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "How much authority does the Holy Lord plan to give to his ministers?" ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "The military and political power of Fujian and Zhejiang has been given to you, and you can implement anything within the two provinces first, and then report it."

Previously, Yu Qian proposed to change the Beijing camp into ten regimental battalions. It's worth trying, but it's not in Beijing, it's in Nanjing.

I will make a slight change to Qianqian's proposal, and in the next year, I will merge the Shangzhi Qinwei in Nanjing and the Shangzhi Qinwei transferred from Beijing to Nanjing to form a new Shangzhi 24 Wei.

Then every two detachments went up to the direct guard, forming a regimental battalion, a total of twelve regimental battalions.

After it is formed, I will transfer six regiments and battalions to you for command, plus the local armies of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, all for you.

And I won't command blindly, and I won't let the court interfere indiscriminately, you can do as much as you want. ”

Nian Fu nodded and replied solemnly: "If you want to open the sea ban, you need to establish a strong sailor; In order to restart Western trade, it is necessary to rebuild a fleet of ships at least the same size as Zheng He's voyage to the Western Ocean.

In addition, in order to deal with the attack of the Japanese invaders, it was necessary to build a coherent city defense along the coast.

This requires a lot of human, material and financial resources. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the money, most of the expenses are paid out by me; The imperial court paid for the grain, craftsmen, and army.

Forty percent of the profits from trade, as well as the tax and silver of the city, were used by the imperial court, and sixty percent remained in Fujian and Zhejiang as a steady stream of investment.

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years, etc.

It doesn't have to be me, even if one generation can't do it all, I have to lay a solid foundation for future generations. ”

When Nian Fu heard this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this is a good emperor in front of him, and he is willing to bother to do the good deeds of planting trees for his predecessors and enjoying the shade for his descendants. I don't know where the Xuanmiao is stronger than the Xuanmiao who can only dig pits for future generations, and the son is really not like the father, and he is not good.

So Nian Fu asked again: "But the Holy One wants to recover Jiaozhi?" Weichen dared to ask when the saint planned to use troops, but he needed the cooperation of Fujian and Zhejiang? ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Jingtai started to use troops in the fourth year, the previous battle of Luchuan, the southeast civil uprising, and the invasion of Wara, the mountains and rivers were broken and the people were tired.

No matter what, I have to grit my teeth and let the people rest for three years.

Starting this year, I will gradually dispatch troops to Yunnan and Guangxi to accumulate grain and grass.

Next year, let the army rest and recuperate in Yunnan and Guangxi.

In the following year, an attack on Cochin was launched.

Xuanmiao's defeat at Jiaozhi was due to the fact that he hurriedly sent the army over, marched in a panic, and slammed around like headless flies.

As a result, the soldiers were exhausted, the morale of the army was weakened, and the army was repeatedly ambushed, and the whole army was wiped out at every turn.

After that battle, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty was lost, and the tributary system in the south collapsed.

The Luchuan Kingdom rebelled, and the eldest brother Gong let the emperor send the main force of the Ming army three times to transfer half of China, and it took ten years before and after it was finally pacified.

The eldest brother finished wiping Luchuan's ass for Xuanmiao, and now I have to go and wipe Jiaozhi's ass for Xuanmiao. ”

When several favorite concubines heard this, they covered their mouths and snickered on the side.

Zhu Qiyu smiled awkwardly: "No way, it's not that I'm not dignified, it's just that the mess left by Xuanmiao is too depressing."

These words just now are all the considerate words of our monarchs and ministers behind closed doors, don't spread them when you go out, and I won't admit that I said these words. ”
