I am the king of the dead

The debate between the great emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty and the leader Yu Qian over the two tactics of quick victory and Japanese arch and one pawn did not affect the advancement of the military operations of the Ming Dynasty. Countless armaments were flowing towards Guangzhou and Zhennan. Come off.

And Zhu Qiyu stopped at Nantang Bieyuan, north of the bank of the Pearl River.

Zhu Qiyu’s residence in Jiujiang Mansion is Gantang Bieyuan outside Jiujiang Mansion, Nanhu Bieyuan in Nanya, Yunlong Mountain Bieyuan in Xuzhou, and Yunlu Xianju in Fuzhou and Zhangzhou , the place of residence in Songjiang Prefecture is also outside the city of Songjiang Prefecture.

This way of staying, on the one hand, is because the emperor has three thousand guards in royal guards going south, so it is really inconvenient for the people to stay in the city; It is safer; thirdly, it is livable and comfortable.

In June, the city is already extremely hot, but the foot of Baiyun Mountain is still as refreshing as spring in all seasons.

Zhu Qiyu is still frugal, he has tried his best to reduce his tail, but there are still hundreds of people serving him, so many people serving him, Zhu Qiyu lives outside the city, there will be no inconvenience, the inconvenience is others .

For example, Chen Ruyan, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiang Wan, the Marquis of Dingxi, and Shao Guang, the prefect of Guangzhou, rushed from the city to the Nantang Garden at the foot of Baiyun Mountain.

The location of Nantang Bieyuan will be the core of the Ming Dynasty Guangzhou Craftsman City in the future. At present, the construction of the Guangzhou Craftsman City has not started, because the foundation of the existence of the Craftsman City is craftsmen, and craftsmen have a strong dependence on the means of production, that is, the factory. Therefore, after the construction of the major official factories in Guangzhou, the craftsman city will be built.

This is a long-term investment.

"Your Majesty, I will pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." The ministers met the Emperor Ming in the meeting room of the Imperial Study Room in Nantang Bieyuan.

"Excuse me, let's sit down." Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand casually, motioning for many Aiqings to flatten.

Looking from the left to the side, he saw Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, Yuqian, Marquis of Wen'an, Xu Chengzong, Duke of Wei, Mu Lin, Duke of Yunnan, Zhang Mao, Duke of England, Jiang Wan, Marquis of Dingxi, Zhu Yi, commander and commander, etc. On the right are Chen Ruyan, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Yao Kui, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and other civil servants.

Zhu Qiyu saw Mu Lin for the first time. It is worth noting that Mu Lin himself did not admit that he has the title of Duke of Qian.

When Mu Bin, Duke of Qian State, passed away, Mu Bin's son, Mu Cong, was only one year old, and the court asked Mu Lin to take over Yunnan as his substitute.

When Mu Lin received the decree, she accepted the position of the governor of Yunnan, because Luchuan repeated, and Yunnan needed a young and powerful governor, but Mu Lin did not accept the title of the Duke of Qian, but the Duke of Qian. The title was left to the young Mu Cong, and when Mu Cong became a young man, he accepted the title of Duke of Qian.

The reason why Mu Lin refused to accept the dukedom of Qianguo was because he himself had a dukedom to inherit. Although he was only an earl, it was a title passed down from his father.

Although his title is only a hereditary earl, although it is not as good as the duke he robbed, but his own is his own, and he has a clear conscience.

This served as a model for the Ming court to reform the land in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. This was also the first time that the Duke of Guizhou and the governor of Yunnan were separated from each other on the ground in Yunnan.

In the words of Yao Kui, the cousin of Jiangxi uncle Yao Long, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, the governor of Guizhou, who presided over the reform of Yunnan and Guizhou and the promotion of officials, the Yunnan frontier army is no longer the private army of Mu Wangfu.

"The boat in the Snake Tower is ten feet long, and the bow of the boat is wrapped around the drums, music, and reeds. The oars and oars are swayed away, and the water in Awa City is like soup. Mu Lin not only understands the scriptures and can write poems, but also has a famous reputation in Luchuan, which is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. "Zhu Qiyu praised without hesitation.

Mu Lin was a little surprised, but it was because the people next to him pushed him, that he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I am afraid, thank you Your Majesty for your praise!"

Mu Lin was of course surprised, his poem is not a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, unless His Majesty deliberately understands it, it is absolutely impossible to know it.

So, His Majesty still cares about him very much.

The poems read by Zhu Qiyu were written by Mu Lin.

Mu Lin's temperament is a bit like the third prince's grandfather Tang Xing, who likes adventures and doesn't like restraint. The poems read by Zhu Qiyu were written by Mu Lin when he was young and went to Awa City, Myanmar.

In this place of Myanmar, apart from the harsh natural conditions, the local law and order is also very poor. There are frequent conflicts between the local tribes. The merchants who go to Myanmar to do business are all brave people.

It's just that, unlike Tang Xing, Mu Lin's adventure career has stagnated since she became the governor of Yunnan.

State affairs delayed his adventure.

"Dingxihou, are you feeling better?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Jiang Wan again and asked with a smile.

Jiang Wan immediately said loudly: "Very good! You can eat two catties of beef for a meal! Going into battle and killing the enemy is not a problem!"

Jiang Wan opened the city gate at the head of Xuzhou city, and let Wuqing Marquis Shi Heng and Governor Military Affairs Yu Qian enter the city. He himself was wounded several times and almost died.

Zhu Qiyu was naturally exchanging greetings, showing that he was not ignorant of the other party.

Leaders from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangxi gathered together in Nantang Bieyuan to discuss important matters, that is, to discuss the county and county Annan, and some disposals after the county and county Annan.

After exchanging greetings with civil servants and generals, Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, sat upright, and said with a serious face: "Let's talk about the ugly words first, and the Seventeen Forbidden 54 will be cut and hung high, so don't be arrogant and willful. , here, there is only military law to deal with!"

"Military orders are like mountains and laws are like iron. If you don't obey the restraints, you will be cut without mercy."

Many generals immediately said loudly: "Follow Your Majesty's instructions!"

He went south to Guangzhou to prevent the Ming army from restraining each other and leading to defeat.

When Daming evacuated from Annan back then, Wang Tong watched Liu Sheng die in battle and refused to save him. This is the most typical case of Daming's defeat due to personal grievances.

His only role in this battle is to watch many generals in the Guangzhou Mansion. If anyone delays state affairs because of private grievances, he can only do business in business, and the military law is ruthless.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "Everyone, Annan, the county, involves the fundamentals of the Ming Dynasty's national policy. This is a big matter, and the country entrusts me to you."

Zhu Qiyu looked around and said loudly: "The Ming army is mighty!"

All the generals immediately stood up and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

"You guys discuss it." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and left the meeting room.

As always, he did not participate in the strategy-making deliberations. In all the previous battles of Daming, Zhu Qiyu only participated, but did not command.

He is aware of his combat skills and military talent. Although he really wants to have fun with his hands, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He chooses to enjoy himself on the chessboard.

What surprised Zhu Qiyu was that on the first day of the discussion, most of the civil servants and generals agreed with the strategy of Rigong's one-pawn strategy, rather than Yu Qian's theory of quick victory.

However, both Ningyang Hou Chen Mao and Wen'an Hou Yuqian believed that a quick victory should be achieved. As General Zhengyi and Governor of Military Affairs, the weight of these two people led the pre-war meeting to a conclusion of quick victory.

There is a cognitive difference between the generals of the new generation and the old generals. From the perspective of Qian Qian and Chen Mao, Annan is the territory of Ming Dynasty. It is a good strategy for the herdsmen in Antu to fight at home and win quickly, but in the eyes of the new generation of generals , Annan has repeatedly said that he should cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

"Ningyanghou, I discussed this matter with Yu Shaobao. At that time, Yu Shaobao advised me that it would be better to win quickly." Zhu Qiyu did not hesitate, but made a reply and decision.

"If after a quick victory, we find that the 500 million people are still helping the evildoers like they did during the Yongle period, then we will withdraw, and then we will have a low-intensity war. The Ming Dynasty has a solid foundation and can afford it." Zhu Qiyu I added my own thoughts.

If after the quick victory, Annan still rebelled, and there were many, and even formed a force like Li Li, then you can't blame Daming for being ruthless.

When the emperor talks to you for the first time, the conditions are the best.During the second talk, the conditions were barely acceptable, but there will never be a third time.

Since Yu Qian and Chen Mao, who came from the Yongle period, still believe that Daming has a basis for ruling in Annan, let's try to win quickly. According to the expectation, it will take about three months.

If it is defeated but the herdsmen cannot be settled, and they still have the heart of disobedience, they can continue to use it if they take it out that day.

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Mao said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I have passed my age, and I still have to say something. The frontier army is no better than the Beijing army, and the frontier army's pursuit of war is different from the Beijing army's pursuit of war."

Chen Mao is different from Yang Hong and Yu Qian. Chen Mao is a native of the frontier army, and he knows the frontier army very well.

"But it doesn't matter." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Chen Mao said quite earnestly: "When the two Songs communicated, the most capable opponent in the Northern Song Dynasty was the Western Army, which fought against the Xixia people all day long. Not one, there is no king of diligence except for the way of being a teacher."

"If the army on this side fights with the method of daily arch and one pawn, they will become the leaders of the army who support the bandits."

"Both the minister and Yu Shaobao believe in a quick victory, but the minister is concerned about raising tigers as trouble and raising the enemy's self-esteem."

The three expeditions to Luchuan, where the wages were transferred for half the world, and the country was boiled in one corner, fought for more than ten years, and the food and wages were spent. Yuan Hou became a veritable and honorable emperor of the land.

If the time is extended to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengliang, the local emperor of Liaodong, and Guan Ning's iron cavalry, watched Hong Taiji enter Xifengkou to plunder Gyeonggi, the battle of Songjin and Guan Ning's army did not work hard, and spent the court 660 million yuan a year. The Guan Ning army is also a typical example of raising the bandits' self-respect.

Chen Mao and Yu Qian's focus is different. Chen Mao's focus is to support the bandits, while Yu Qian's focus is on the system of the country.

It's okay to quarrel before making a strategy, and implement it resolutely after making a strategy. This is Zhu Qiyu's consistent style. Since a quick win is set, then follow the quick win style of play.

"Has Ningyang Hou heard of sitting bandits?" Zhu Qiyu put away the decision of the pre-war meeting and handed it to Xing'an, and asked Chen Mao.

Chen Mao said with a puzzled face: "I have heard of bandits and pirates, but I have not heard of bandits."

Zhu Qiyu also shook his head and said: "It's the first time I've heard of it, or else the world is going to be powerful, so I always do some fancy work for me, and go and see the excitement."

"Xing'an, go and call Shang Yu Shaobao, Chen Ruyan, and Guangzhou prefect Shao Guang."

Zhu Qiyu's car drove off, and watching the excitement was an important activity on Zhu Qiyu's southern tour.

Daming Tiqi have been visiting, especially Guangzhou Fushuifu.

This followed the vines, and actually found out the bandits that even the well-informed Chen Mao had never heard of.

Zhu Qiyu's car drove slowly into Guangzhou Mansion. In the first year of Hongwu, there were only eight city gates in Guangzhou Mansion. After 90 years, Guangzhou Mansion has become sixteen city gates. The original Guangzhou Mansion City has gradually become the inner city.

In Fucheng alone, there are more than one million people inside and outside.

Zhu Qiyu entered the city from the Great North Gate, passed the Zhenhai Tower, the Military Weapons Supervision Bureau, and the Lion Bridge to Zhengnan Street in front of the Guangdong Chief Secretary's Gate. The west side of this Zhengnan Street belongs to Yuexiu, and the east side belongs to Panyu.

Zhu Qiyu's car came to Baishoufang on the west side of Zhengnan Street. Baishoufang was built during the orthodox period to commemorate the filial piety of Liu Shijie, the wife of Hanlin Lang Kong in the Imperial Academy, because there are hundreds of calligraphy styles carved in relief along the center of the front and back main squares. It is named after different "shou" characters.

The archway is a memorial archway on the top of Xieshan with four pillars, three rooms and five floors, which is a whole bluestone structure.

"That's Zuo Kou." Zhu Qiyu opened the car window and looked out the window.

The Fang Guo in the Ming Dynasty all had a Fang Wall, and there was a Qiaolou at the corner of the Fang Wall, which was where the watchmen and firemen were.

And every street in the square has patrol shops, and every shop has ten laborers who are responsible for the security of the square, catching snitches, cooperating with the yamen to arrest important criminals, and so on.

As the number of yamen servants in the city gradually increased, the patrol shop gradually fell into disuse, and the patrol slowly existed in name only, and was occupied by rogues and thieves.

The car stopped steadily, and Zhu Qiyu looked out of the window and said: "The bandits, like the merchants, have their own fixed places to make a living. After the bandits in the city occupy these patrol shops, they start to patrol the shops. received money in the name of

"You can see that the waterman has brought water up to this point, and it is directly handed over to the bandits in the patrol shop. The people in the workshop have to ask them to buy water."

"Those dung tyrants have to come into the workshop to pick up dung, and they have to buy it from them and pay a share."

"Street peddlers, if they want to enter the workshop to sell, they have to pay money to these bandits. If they don't pay, they are not allowed to enter the workshop."

"Whoever's house collapses, it will be a disaster."

"Even if the owner of the collapsed house bypassed the captain of the Wucheng Bingma Division and pulled the earth, stone and woodwork to the gate of the workshop, he still couldn't get in. Instead, he would be intercepted and reported to their owner."

"The owner came to the door. The owner could only sell the land deed at a low price and find another place."

"It's not over yet."

Chen Mao, Yu Qian, Chen Ruyan, and Shao Guang all stared dumbfounded at the small shop under the wall. If His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, they really didn't know that this small shop was still such a big deal!

Zhu Qiyu said sharply: "They still collect money, according to the calculation in the workshop, the house tax number money that I dare not accept, they dare to accept!"

"The people refuse to pay? These bandits dominate the wells and water trucks. If they don't pay the money, they won't give them salary and water. The people can only obediently pay the bandits."
