Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1718 Post-war Waves ([-]) Emperor's Heart
Wenhua's meeting did not come to an end until noon. Many issues in various aspects were discussed, and a charter was generally drawn up for some major strategic plans for the follow-up.This made Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli who had already begun to put on weight, a little tired. After the meeting, he did not return to the Qianqing Palace to eat, but directly ate in the East Side Hall of Wenhua Hall.

The East Side Hall of Wenhua Hall was the place where he used to study, and he used it frequently in recent years. All the decorations were according to his wishes, maintaining the appearance before Gao Yushi resigned from his post and returned to his hometown to take the imperial examination ten years ago.This means that Gao Yushi still had Gao Yushi's seat on the side seat when he was eating.

Naturally, this seat is empty now, but there are four dishes, one soup, and a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table.All the emperor's attendants were driven out of the palace, even Chen Ju was included.

"Pragmatically, I know you don't like drinking. In the early years, I always liked to force you to have a drink with me. That's because young people are ignorant. With your generosity, you probably won't blame me, right? But today I won't force you, I will Drink my wine, you eat your food, let's chat casually." The emperor poured himself a drink and said to himself.

"Over the years, you have helped me a lot. Although promoting your official position seems to be the way of a monarch and minister, I always feel that these rewards are actually not enough from the troubles you helped me solve. What about you, You should also be clear in your heart." Zhu Yijun took a sip and sighed: "But the country has its own rules, even if I am the emperor, I can't do whatever I want, and the outer court will definitely not agree. mildew."

"But this time Beiyuan is destroyed, the situation should change a lot for us. I think the attitude of Mr. Shen today is very illustrative. Do you know that his attitude in the cabinet a few days ago is not what it is today. That is firmly opposed to your entry into the cabinet, but proposes to grant you a knighthood... Well, of course, it is a Martial Lord, and it is not hereditary."

"Judging from today's situation, it seems that both he and Mr. Wang have figured it out. Since they can't suppress it anyway, then they shouldn't suppress it anyway. But I'm still quite surprised. Are they planning to give up and fight against us? I I always feel that this matter is still a bit pending, and they may have other ideas."

"However, there is something wrong with what you did this time, especially the way you left the army and returned to the capital by yourself is not very authentic. People who understand know that you are not being attacked by some people in the outer court. Those who are blind may think you It was made for me to see."

Zhu Yijun snorted softly, and turned around the small wine glass of Yu Ci: "What am I looking for, to see if you will bring hundreds of thousands of troops back to Beijing, and show me your might? Ha, if you can If you do this, then it's not high-practical, I don't know you yet?

Hey, if it wasn't for your military power being transferred, I guess what you hope for after the two decisive battles is to quickly hand over your military power.But today I sent a decree asking you to wait for the imperial guards to return to Beijing together, you will still think about it, for fear that there is something taboo here, and then write a short article after you leave for a day to report your actions to the court, right? "

"You are good at everything, but you are too serious." Zhu Yijun sighed, raised his glass to Gao Yushi's vacant seat, and said, "You know that there is no other person in the world who can talk to me freely, Even Yixuan can't do it, but you just refuse to do that, insisting on always being the monarch and minister... I sometimes want to ask you, are we just monarchs and ministers? Huh?"

"What did we two say back then, to create a prosperous world together! But how can we create it together? I can't get out, so naturally I can only give you the power to make it happen. If you don't give you the military power, how can you achieve it? The simplest truth in this world is how much energy you can do, I can't even understand this."

"Of course, I am the emperor, with a lot of power and a lot of constraints. There is nothing I can do about it. I knew it when my mother punished you for demoting you three grades." Zhu Yijun blushed and squinted his eyes. : "Now the queen mother doesn't care about me, but all the officials in the world take care of me... Haha, I'm really lonely, lonely!"

After finishing speaking this time, Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long while, he took another bite of vegetables and ate, chewing and saying: "Practical, you know, after I took Beiyuan, I was suddenly at a loss. 200 years My old enemy suddenly disappeared, and I don't even know what I should do now."

"There is also what Wu Dui and Liang Menglong said. To be honest, I was a little apprehensive. Building a town to guard Chahar, and three cities on the left and right to control a large grassland. Is this plan really feasible? Did they propose it after discussing it with you, or did they go their own way and talk nonsense?"

"I reckon that you were the one who told them about planting potatoes, but I'm afraid that they will open a dyeing workshop just to give some color. You really think that planting potatoes can stabilize three cities, and then... umm , just like what you said before, 'point to face', so as to control Chahar? Why do I always feel a little suspenseful."

"However, I do agree with their point of view, that is, Tumed should be reliable at present, and your student probably won't have any disagreements. The question is how long can this situation last? How can you ensure that your student His sons and grandchildren are like him?"

"Also, what Liang Menglong said just now didn't make it clear. He only said that assuming that the military strength in Chahar is [-], how will the [-] be distributed to the three cities, but he didn't say how many people are the '[-]'. In addition, these troops should be Where did you draw it from, or did you add it? He didn't say... Did he not have time to discuss it with you, or did he have no idea in his mind?"

"Oh, yes, there are more. If we grow potatoes in Chahar, I don't know how much grassland will be taken up. You should have calculated these issues? Anyway, I think they should be planted not far from the city. Then the rest of the pastures will be far away from the city, how will we build the horse farm? Who will go to herd it?"

"You have been the Deputy Envoy of Southern Liao. You must know that our Daming's Ma Zheng is a bad debt ], will this Chahar end up in bad debts by then? Don’t be like Beizhili in the past, and create a horse bandit in Bazhou, which has plagued Hebei for decades, and that will be a big trouble.”

At this time, Zhu Yijun almost drank a pot of small wine, his eyes became blurred and wandered, and he muttered to himself: "But, maybe I am overthinking, you have always been very organized in doing things, and these problems must have been solved long ago." Have a comprehensive consideration. Well, I understand. Are you planning to hold on to these things until after you join the cabinet, so as to stop some people's stinking mouths? Well, a good idea, as expected of you... belch!"

Not long after Zhu Yijun had finished eating alone in Wenhua Hall, that is, in the afternoon less than two hours after Wenhua held the meeting, Gao Yushi in Yanqing Prefecture had already received a letter from Fei Ge, roughly Knowing the process of Wenhua's meeting in the morning, as well as the general arguments of the imperial meeting.

Yanqing Prefecture was established in March of the 12th year of Yongle (1414). Some time before that, Zhu Di, the founder of the Cheng Dynasty, visited Tuanshan (now Tuanshan, the old county town of Yanqing). Jurisdiction over Yongning and Huailai counties, immigrant settlements, Zhili Jingshi Xuanfu.

When Yongle established Longqingzhou in the 12th year of Yongle, the state city continued to use the old city of the Yuan Dynasty.In the fifth year of Xuande, Xue Lu, Hou of Yangwu, carried out repairs.In the second year of Jingtai, Ji Guang, the deputy general, rebuilt the city.In three years, Liu Zhengdao, deputy director of Qianhu Office of Yongning Weihou, dug the moat around the city.In the seventh year of Tianshun, Zhizhou Shi Zongwen and garrison commander Wang Rong began to rebuild the brick city, and it was not completed until the Jiajing period.

In November of the first year of Longqing, Longqing Prefecture was changed to Yanqing Prefecture in order to avoid the year name.In the eighth year of Wanli, Jiayan, the magistrate of the state, repaired the North City. In 16, due to the growing prosperity of the North, Xishuimen was opened locally.By last year, the local ethics chief and others were ordered to build more Nanguan, and built new brick walls, corner towers, enemy towers, gates, water gates, etc. in Xixinbao, as an important part of the new defense line of the capital.

At this time, Gao Wushi had just inspected the defense and returned to Xingyuan. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he was wearing a dark blue robe.

As expected by the emperor, Gao Wushi was thinking about the current situation in Wenhua Zhaodui, especially the change in Shen Shixing's attitude, and the emperor's insistence on letting him return to Beijing with the imperial guards.

Politics has always been extremely complicated, because everyone in it has their own thoughts, and each of their decisions or just a change in attitude may bring about overall changes.

But politics is sometimes extremely simple, and its general trend is like the so-called wheel of history, rolling forward unstoppably.And there is a saying that is extremely incisive: War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the continuation of economics.

The so-called general trend, in the final analysis, is the change of the economic structure. People in it will always adapt to these changes involuntarily, even if they often do not even know it.

From Gao Pragmatism's point of view, it is difficult for people in this era to realize that changes in the economic structure will affect politics.Therefore, the change in SHISHI's attitude may come from directly responding to political changes.In other words, he should just realize that the times have changed and the Practical School can no longer hold back.

But Gao Wushi doesn't think that Shi Shihang will admit it, because whether to admit it is not determined by his character, but by the interests of the group he represents-they will not tolerate Shen Shixing's confession.That is to say, the change of shishihang today should be just an adjustment of the fighting strategy.

How to adjust it?Is it to keep a low profile and endure for a few years, and wait for the current situation to change before coming out to make trouble?Or take the initiative to retreat, let me show my sharpness, make the emperor look sideways, and use the emperor's hand to cut off dissidents?
It all seems possible.However, the emperor's attitude seems to be expected. He didn't feel that I was a threat to him. Instead, he was thinking of using this opportunity to destroy Bei Yuan to create momentum for us.

What Gao Yushi thinks of here is "we" instead of "I", because he knows that the emperor is not only creating momentum for him, but also for himself.

Great achievements such as the destruction of Beiyuan, not to mention routine operations such as Jiaoying and offering sacrifices to Taimiao, it stands to reason that even going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen is justified, after all, this is to eliminate the old enemy that has existed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.And it's strange to say that the Ming Dynasty was the first dynasty established by China since ancient times standing on the enemy's "most half of the corpse". It's big, and it's really special.

But in any case, this victory is of extraordinary significance to the Ming Dynasty. To some extent, it can be regarded as a complete acquisition of the Chinese-style "dynastic legal order".

Hey, wait, it seems that this is not enough, there is something more special about this matter: now the northern part of the Great Wall is unified, and the Ming Dynasty has indeed eliminated the northern barbarian pressure that the Han people have faced since ancient times, but the problem is that the Great Khan Tus of the Northern Yuan Dynasty still ran away up!

Uh, what is this?Suddenly stuck after 99% completion?It's so fucking bad...

But this also has an advantage, the flying bird is not exhausted, the good bow cannot be hidden!It seems that I am still safe for the time being. Even if the emperor has matured to the point of acting purely based on reason and disregarding old friendships, he should not do anything to me now—there is only one premise: I will not risk my life.

As long as the emperor wants to make persistent efforts, truly achieve a complete victory, and completely become the master of Zhongxing who surpasses his second ancestors, and is as prestigious as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then he should continue to use me vigorously.So...he wants me to take the imperial guards back to the capital to accept the welcome from the suburbs, and to sacrifice the Taimiao with him. The purpose should not be complicated. It is to demonstrate martial arts, shock the officials, and use one's will to become the will of the world. Build his own grand plan.

Gao Pragmatic's brows gradually relaxed, and he often let out a breath of foul air, which made him feel much more relaxed.He walked back to the desk, picked up the "simplified meeting minutes" sent by the carrier pigeon, and looked at it again.

After watching for a while, his brows gradually wrinkled again.

"It's not so easy for Chahar to completely become a 'Handy'. Brother Huanzhou and Lord Mingquan still underestimated the operational means needed to assimilate nomads while ensuring the combat power of nomadic cavalry." Gao Wushi touched The chin without a beard murmured.

It is not difficult to assimilate nomads, especially after a complete victory.For example, for the remaining small tribes in Chahar that were not taken away by Tumen, Gao Yushi can suggest to the emperor to break them up and throw them into the interior of Ming Dynasty to live with the Han people. The Han people are no different.

If Gao Yushi adopted a method similar to the "household registration naturalization system" implemented by Jinghua in southern Xinjiang, their household registration would have to become Han Chinese after three generations, and even their descendants would not even be able to speak Mongolian at all.To put it simply, it is easy to disperse the resettlement and not allow them to live together.

It’s just that doing so is not in line with the high-level pragmatic plan. He tried his best to conquer Mongolia to a large extent because he hoped to use the nomadic characteristics of the Mongols to strengthen Ming’s cavalry capabilities.That being the case, what's the use of breaking up the remaining Mongols and throwing them into the Han people?Given the size of the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of Han people, right?

It seems that even Senior Brother Huanzhou and Lord Mingquan may not have a deep understanding of this issue. I have to deal with this matter myself after returning to Beijing.I just don't know how my reward for merit will develop after Jiaoying and offering prisoners to the Taimiao.

Nima, as long as I can join the cabinet, it will be convenient for me to arrange major events in the future, don't make me any monsters...
