Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1643 A Brief Introduction to Mongolian and Yuan Economics (Part [-])
There is indeed a reason for Shen Shihang to be called "Eight-faced Linglong" in later generations. This suggestion can avoid the intensification of conflicts, and at the same time, it will not lead to "Meng Yuan Jinglue" and "Shangfang Sword Privileges". Power is out of control.

Shang Fangjian's privilege comes from the emperor's bestowal. In theory, it is a temporary transfer of imperial power. In this way, no matter "how" or "how much" it is, it has nothing to do with others, as long as the emperor is willing. There is no absolutely tenable reason.

That being the case, it is inevitable to recognize the privileges bestowed by the emperor, not to mention that there are still cabinet members like Wu Dui who clearly stand on the side of high pragmatism in the cabinet.However, Shen Shixing still dealt with this problem in a few or two ways: You said that "everything is for the complete defeat of Meng Yuan", I can't object to this, but I can control the intensity-even if some people don't obey orders and don't order, they don't necessarily want to Just kill him at the time, I allow you to temporarily take away his authority, isn't that all right?
As for what to do with that person, the court can naturally "discuss later", so the initiative will return to the cabinet.Although Gao Wu has a strong influence in the court, as long as the person he replaced is not dead, things still have a chance to turn around.

Even if it is not good enough, you can transfer to another position, so that you will not lose it all at once-"It is not easy to train a cadre in an organization" is actually applicable in any era, and it is really not nonsense.

At this point, the cabinet finally managed to reach a consensus, and stood up and made a "general proposal" on issues of concern to the court officials in recent days. The chief assistant Shen Shixing personally wrote an article, and all cabinet ministers jointly signed it to the emperor.

This time the emperor's attitude also softened, and he affirmed the fine style of the cabinet members who love the ministers, the public, the country, and focus on the overall situation in a tone of praise.At the same time, according to the proposal of the cabinet, the emperor reaffirmed the authority of Gao Yushi, the "Mengyuan Jinglue" who was bestowed with the sword of Shangfang.

However, although the emperor's decision has already been made, Gao Yushi, as the party involved, still has to resign as usual.This is a conventional routine. In the end, the emperor must not allow it, but Gao Wushi reluctantly accepted it with trepidation, so I won’t talk about the process.

When the news reached Shangshu Gaofu, Liu Xin felt a little emotional, shook her head and said, "In the past, I didn't feel much about 'politics is an art of compromise', but now it seems that it is really the case... Is it true that all No matter what is right or wrong, as long as there are two powerful political forces competing with each other, they can only compromise with each other in the end?"

Gao Yushi shrugged his shoulders: "Politics, the reason why many people later said that it is the dirtiest thing, may be that it has nothing to do with good and evil, right and wrong, and the only thing related to it is interests. Of course, what is the final compromise?" It also has to do with the strength of the various stakeholders.”

Liu Xin pursed her mouth: "From this matter, it seems that your power has already surpassed the Heart School—you see, although you can't kill those who oppose you, you can at least take their authority away. You can already carry out your will to a large extent. On the contrary, after Shen Shixing made such a concession, I think the governor of Jiliao must not sleep well."

"It may not be that my strength is greater than that of the Heart School." Gao Yushi shook his head: "A person's political power is never a constant value, and Shen Yuanfu's compromise this time does not mean that their overall strength is declining, but just that their overall strength is declining. It is inconvenient to confront me head-on in this special event of this battle."

"But no matter how you say it, now that they have compromised to this point, the chances of the Heart School to make trouble in this battle will be greatly reduced." Liu Xin frowned and said: "But if they don't make trouble, once Daming wins this battle, you Your prestige is bound to be the same for a while, how will they stop you then?"

"The trouble you are talking about is probably limited to Li Zhijun and Li Zongrong?" Gao Wushi stroked his chin and said, "The possibility of them contradicting me in person is actually not that big. With this Shangfang sword It can only be said that it will make them more disciplined. However, if you really want to mess with me, why do you have to be the frontline army and general army?"

"You mean making trouble in the rear?" Liu Xin tilted her head to ponder for a moment, then shook her head and said, "But judging by the emperor's attitude, I'm afraid he will never tolerate someone making trouble behind the scenes of this war. Who is so bold as to dare to cross this threshold? What’s more, you are the minister of the household department, and Zhou Benbing of the military department can’t not cooperate with you well, so how can outsiders make trouble for you under such circumstances?”

Gao Wushi shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know either. I can only arrange in advance what I think may go wrong, but I'm not sure what they will do in the end... You know, Mr. Wang Ge His courage is much greater than that of Shen Yuanfu, and Xu Cifu's sense of crisis is probably very strong now. Will the two of them unite and deal with me unanimously, or even if they don't say unite, they will do something with a tacit understanding? Very possible, right?"

"So do you have any ideas or solutions?" Liu Xin asked.

Gao Wushi continued to shake his head: "No. Some things are difficult to arrange seamlessly in advance, and we still have to see the tricks."

Liu Xin couldn't help sighing, changed the subject, and asked: "Narita Kai's ship is expected to arrive in Tianjin tomorrow, and the secretariat has arranged for a reception, and also arranged etiquette lessons for her according to Madam's previous instructions, so She will probably stay in Tianjin for two or three days before coming to the capital."

Gao Wushi gave an "oh" and didn't say much.Seeing this, Liu Xin raised her eyebrows slightly: "Don't you have anything to explain?"

"All of you have made arrangements, what else do I have to explain?" Gao Wushi waved his hand and said, "Rather than caring about etiquette, I am more concerned about the trends in Japan, especially the incident reported last month. I always feel that There's something wrong with it."

"Last month?" Liu Xin frowned slightly, and said, "You mean that Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent people to North Korea to buy Korean ginseng and mink fur with the fleet of the Maritime Trade Alliance?"

"That's right. After thinking about it, I still feel that there is something wrong with this matter." Gao Yushi tapped the armrest rhythmically with five fingers of his left hand, and said slowly: "Although Japan has had direct trade with North Korea in the past, basically it is through For Ma Shouzong Yoshitomo, this time it was replaced by the Maori family sending ships to go with our trade fleet, why?"

"Do you suspect that there is a problem?" Liu Xin thought for a while, then frowned and said, "The Maoli family's navy is not weak in Japan, but this time they only sent a ship. Considering that ginseng and mink are valuable goods , there seems to be nothing wrong with it."

Gao Wushi said: "Historically, before Toyotomi Hideyoshi went to North Korea, he sent people to talk with North Korea. Although North Korea clearly rejected his rude behavior, but in terms of process..."

"Do you think Toyotomi Hideyoshi will still do this?" Liu Xin shook her head in disbelief, "But the people we arranged reported that since Toyotomi Hideyoshi died last year of his second son (Toyotomi Tsurumatsu), the whole person is now concerned about the two. The first thing is that there are many activities in Japan to commemorate the dead second son; the second is to have another son, and Mrs. Dian is in full swing to prepare for another one..." Seemingly aware of the indecent words, Liu Xin lightly Coughed and didn't continue.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi returned to Juledi from his triumphant expedition after the Battle of Odawara. In January of the following year, Toyotomi Tsurumatsu fell ill when he was less than two years old.Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered shrines and temples across the country to pray for recovery, and donated 300 stones to Kasuga Shrine again for prayers, and Toyotomi Tsurumatsu soon recovered.

But in August, Toyotomi Tsurumatsu fell ill again.Toyotomi Hideyoshi once again ordered shrines and temples across the country to pray for recovery, and donated to Kasuga Shrine the remaining 700 stones from the last prayer for healing, and the remaining seven thousand stones that he prayed for when he was sick at the Taizhengsho in the 16th year of Tensho, and a new one thousand stone.In addition, Toyotomi Hideyoshi gathered famous doctors from all over the world to see and treat his son.

Hideyoshi himself also went to Tofukuji to pray, but three days later, on the fifth day of August, Toyotomi Tsurumatsu still died in Yodojo, and his remains were transported to Tofukuji.Since Tsurumatsu was not only his only biological son, but also an old son, his death dealt a huge blow to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

A day later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi cut a bun in mourning at Tofukuji Temple.Tokugawa Ieyasu, Mori Terumoto and other daimyos and recent apprentices also shaved their hair as best they could, and their hair was tied into a mound shape.Fu Yi Ishikawa Mitsushige was convinced of the 58th Nanhua Xuanxing of Myoshin Temple, so he proposed to hold a funeral at the temple. temple.

The next day, Toyotomi Hideyoshi calmed down at Kiyomizu Temple, and went to Arima Hot Springs for hot spring recuperation from the [-]th, but his whole body was still in a daze, lamenting and mourning from time to time.

Afterwards, Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided to build Shounji Temple next to the Higashiyama Great Buddha Hall as the Bodhi Temple of Toyotomi Hesong, and turned south to Kaishan to welcome it.However, because Toyotomi Hideyoshi has very high requirements for this temple, it is said that he is still collecting building materials all over Japan, and even sent people to find the Maritime Trade Alliance to buy some precious building materials.

On the whole, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is basically still in the severe pain of losing his son, and he should not be in the mood to think about what to go out for.However, in the original history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was also grieved, but he still launched the war against North Korea in the midst of "grieving", which shows that there is not much relationship between these two things.

Gao Wushi disapproved of what Liu Xin said, shook his head and said, "If you are in a hurry to have a baby, you don't care about other things. The same is true for paying homage to your beloved son. In addition, the news from Tokugawa Ieyasu did not say anything about it." , The Toyotomi family secretly asked the Maori family to increase the output of Iwami Ginzan, and then contacted us to import rice from southern Xinjiang? What does he want so much rice for?"

"Isn't Japan always short of food? Maybe buying rice is just because he wants to use rice to win over his subordinates, or what about the newly surrendered Mutsu daimyo?" Liu Xin frowned and asked, "You suspect that he is hoarding food to prepare for the expedition?" Prepare?"

Gao Yushi didn't have any direct evidence at hand, so he could only answer: "No matter what the truth of the matter is, you have to be on guard. Make arrangements to notify the squadron going to North Korea to pay attention to the Maori family and see if they have Any unusual movements, if any, must be reported promptly."

Liu Xin responded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Has your brother arrived in Syria?" Gao Wushi asked.

"How can it be so fast? He has been stationed in southwestern Yunnan for so long, and now he suddenly needs to move his defense. Not only does his department need to pack all kinds of things, but he can't leave immediately, and he has to wait for someone to come to replace him first." Liu said. Xin smiled: "I reckon it's good for him to be able to leave now, and even if he really left in a hurry, he probably won't be able to leave Yunnan now."

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and then asked: "Your father started his career in Sichuan, and made great contributions to the peace in Guizhou. At that time, brother Ling also joined the war. You should have a good understanding of the human geography of Guizhou, right?"

Liu Xin nodded, and replied confidently: "Don't worry about this. Back then, my father and brother were killing people in Guizhou, and the Liu family's army was very famous. Especially my brother, he was only 13 years old at that time. Moreover, several times he charged into battle and killed dozens of barbarians. Guizhou natives have many contacts with barbarians and are very afraid of my brother. I personally even suspect that after my brother went to Xuzhou, Yang Yinglong might not dare to rebel."

Of course Gao Wushi knew about Liu Ting's killing in the local area, but he didn't dare to be so optimistic. Although he nodded, he was still a little puzzled after thinking about it, and said, "There is one thing that I have always doubted, and it is about Yang Yinglong Troop issue."

"How to say?" Liu Xin asked.

Gao Wushi said: "I remember historical records, Yang Yinglong seems to have 2 soldiers after the rebellion, but according to the investigations I have sent many times over the years, it seems that he should only have more than 3 soldiers in his hands. Calculated like the Cen and Huang families in Guangxi, a lot of local people can be mobilized to join the battle during the chieftain war, but Yang Yinglong shouldn’t be able to gather more than [-] troops. So...then where did the other [-] people come from? here?"

Liu Xin frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It's hard to say, maybe the other little chieftains have followed him, or maybe it's because many of the natives under the chieftain's rule are 'black households', and the situation grasped by the court is distorted. serious."

Gao Wushi pondered for a moment and asked, "How many people are there under Brother Ling?"

"Are you asking about the headquarters of the Liu Family Army?" Liu Xin thought for a moment before replying, "The headquarters would not exceed [-], but after several years of re-training and training, there are almost [-] for the Japanese barbarians alone."

Gao Wushi couldn't help being stunned: "Why is the total force still decreasing? Why is there more of the descendants of Japanese barbarians?"

Liu Xin shrugged and explained: "The decrease in the total force is due to the improvement of the army. With your support, the Liu family's army is now considered a shotgun replacement, and the equipment is much better than when the father didn't care about the grandma. But the degree of firearms After the promotion, Liu Jiajun couldn't afford to support so many people, so he had to downsize.

As for the expansion of the establishment of Jiangwo Yiding, it is not the new Japanese pirates compiled and trained. In fact, most of them are just "Yiding" and have nothing to do with "Jianwo".Many of these newcomers were selected by me from the group of captives in southern Xinjiang and sent to my brother. As for how he selected and rehearsed later, I don't know much about it. "

Gao Wushi couldn't say anything else after hearing this, so he could only remind him: "Since these people are from Myanmar and Siam, and have trained in southwestern Yunnan and northern Myanmar for several years, they must have some experience in mountain warfare, so I won't say more Yes. But you'd better send someone to deliver a message to Brother Ling, so that he will not slack off. The Yang family in Bozhou has been a local chieftain since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and their history is longer than that of the Cen and Huang families, so their appeal may be very strong."

Seeing that he was very serious, Liu Xin restrained her relaxed posture, nodded seriously, and said, "Understood, I will remind my brother to be careful."
