Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 698
Nanning wears Cantonese embroidery, Yanjing wears Diaojin, and the capital of Daming is covered in snow all over the sky.

Zhu Yijun had just ordered the Supervisor of Rituals to give Fu Chen and Ridaoguan bacon, walnuts, dates, persimmon cakes, chestnuts, dried water chestnut rice and other things to make porridge for the Laba Festival. Next, Chen Ju followed, holding a memorial in his hand, bowing and saying: "My lord, there is Guangxi Gao Zhizhi's secret memorial."

"Mizuo?" Zhu Yijun was slightly startled, and immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it."

Chen Ju hurriedly handed over the secret note, Zhu Yijun took it over, checked the wax, and asked: "Last time, I heard from Huang Mengyu that he transferred thousands of family members to Qinzhou pragmatically. Is that place so devastated by Japanese pirates? Build a port?" Do you need so many people to guard the two factories?"

Chen Ju said: "I heard that it was ruined beyond words. It is said that there are no people in the twenty miles along the coast of the port."

"Oh, it seems that the pragmatic investment is not small." Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I don't know if he can build Qinzhou Port with his golden hands. If it can be done, Guangxi will also have an extra income. This saves me from having to reduce my tax year after year...I remember that this year they only received a total of 15 taels in real income, but after the cabinet calculated it, they deducted another 8000 taels, is there such a thing?"

"Yes, yes, the emperor has a really good memory." Chen Ju replied with a smile.

"That's right, that's why someone said that I always remember money in my heart." Zhu Yijun snorted and said angrily.

"Hehehe, why should the emperor bother with these gossips? Didn't Gao Wen Zhenggong just say that at the beginning, Hong Fan and the eight political affairs, the first of all food and goods; Yu Mo's three things, and finally a good life. It shows that the ancient sages value words and profit; later generations are pedantic and good-known Human beings advocate the theory of not talking about profit, so that the vulgar Confucianists who do not understand the state system will pass it on from generation to generation, which is very wrong in state affairs, so that there is no one who manages money for the country."

"Mr. Gao can say this, but you have to say less." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Mr. Gao, whether it is pragmatic or not, if they say this, they will not be scolded back, but if you say this 'vulgar Confucianism' 'Two words...hehe, the outer court found out, tomorrow in the General Administration Department, there will be a stack of papers taller than you asking me to chop off your head, do you believe it or not?"

"Naturally, my servant believes it, so I only dare to quote Mr. Gao's original words." Chen Ju made a look of sincerity and fear, which made Zhu Yijun laugh.

When Zhu Yijun opened the high-practical melody, he was still smiling and watching, but when he watched, his face became serious.

Chen Ju naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to ask, but after a while, Zhu Yijun spoke to him and said, "Pragmatism was assassinated in Guangxi."

Chen Ju was taken aback: "Assassinated?" His face turned pale with fright for a moment.

Zhu Yijun frowned and waved his hands: "I didn't make it clear, he was assassinated, but he's fine... Maybe he was a little frightened."

Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with some fear: "Who is so brave that even Gao Zhizhi dares to attack?"

"It's strange here." Zhu Yijun thought about it: "He said that the people from Annan Mo Maoqia did it, and not only did they attack him, but there were a lot of toast around him at that time, and the people from Mo Maoqia actually wanted to kill him. They caught them all, not only using poisonous fire and hand cannons, but also using Gu poison."

"Mo Maoqia?" Chen Ju was dumbfounded and said, "Is this guy crazy?"

"Crazy? Not crazy, very sober." Zhu Yijun snorted and said, "Practically speaking, since Mo Maoqia took office, the military power and political power have been in the hands of his two uncles, one named Mo Jing Dian, one is Mo Dunrang. Not long ago, Mo Jingdian, who was in charge of the military, died, and An Nannan was about to move towards Li Chao. Mo Maoqia was worried that my Daming would take the opportunity to take his North Annan, so he came up with this move, planning to take Guangxi's water Let's get confused, wait until they win a battle against Li Chao and stabilize the situation."

Chen Ju still looked puzzled, and said in surprise: "But we didn't want to hit Annan, did we? I remember that no one in the court has even mentioned Annan recently." He is also one of the supervisors of ceremonies, and of course he knows what is going on in the court. .

"We didn't, but it's a pragmatic guess that Mo Maoqia should have misjudged the situation." Zhu Yijun was also a little speechless, rolling his eyes without being an emperor, and said: "After being pragmatic in Guangxi, we have successively pacified Siming Prefecture and There are two civil strife in Sicheng Prefecture, and the prestige is in full swing. It just so happens that because he wants to open a port and build a factory in Qinzhou, he has transferred thousands of workers there, and he needs to transport various materials by sea. Now Zhuchi (Beibu Gulf) Thousands of sails compete, and hundreds of boats compete. From Mo Maoqia's point of view, this is the so-called gathering of land and water troops, and it seems that we are going to attack him, so we will do such a stupid thing."

Chen Ju didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Hey, I really don't know if this Mo Maoqia is timid or bold, let's say he is bold, it's just that Gao Zhi pointed out that some of his servants were mobilized, and he was actually scared like this; but Call him cowardly, but he dared to assassinate a provincial inspector! Committing such a heinous crime, wouldn’t it force the imperial court to send troops to beat him?”

Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "That's the reason, but it's a practical advice to advise me not to send out an army, he has a better way."

Chen Ju was stunned: "A better way? Could it be that Gao pointed out that he wanted to emulate Zhang Yue's story back then?"

The so-called Zhang Yue story in his mouth is like this: when Emperor Jiajing came to the throne, the political situation in Annan was in turmoil, and he did not come to congratulate him, and there was no one to respond to the Ming Dynasty's edict to the border.Because Annan did not come to pay tribute for a long time, and Ming envoys could not go to Annan to proclaim the imperial edict, Emperor Jiajing decided to ask Annan for the crime of not paying tribute.

In the 15th year of Jiajing, Daming sent thousands of households such as Tao Fengyi to investigate the reason why Annan had not come to pay tribute for a long time. At the beginning of the 16th, the Ming Dynasty pointed the target of the conquest of Annan to the usurper Mo Dengyong, and ordered Qiu Luan and Mao Bowen to be the commanders-in-chief, concentrating troops on the Sino-Vietnamese borders of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan.

However, at that time, most local officials in Guangdong and Guangxi did not advocate the use of troops against Annan, so in May 16, Pan Dan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who opposed the use of troops, was transferred, and Cai Jing, the former governor of Shandong, replaced him.

After Cai Jing took office, Zhang Yue, the prefect of Lianzhou, went to Shu to oppose the use of troops.Cai Jing asked Zhang Yue: "Stop the army with empty words, but there is no way to stop the Ming Dynasty. Can you save me without using troops to surrender to mediocrity?"

Zhang Yue replied: "If you want to surrender, you must be ordered to accept the land, demote the title, and prostrate to the que, present the country's books, and listen to the punishment. The husband's state must not be desecrated." enough power."

Afterwards, Mao Bowen met Zhang Yue, and Yue "continuously counted Japanese" and stated that "it is the end of the plan." Bowen and Cai Jing were persuaded by him, and they both approved Zhang Yue's plan.Therefore, when Mo Dengyong and Zhang Yue communicated in private, "Yue used the preface to the scriptures, he wanted it", Dengyong was "still stubborn at the beginning", and Yue "feared disaster, so he made his own plan early, so Dengyong obeyed his orders." ".

After that, in February of the 18th year of Jiajing, Mo Fangying submitted a letter, but did not put forward the above conditions.The Ming court meeting and Emperor Jiajing’s own opinion were to ask the local governors and military leaders to investigate the actual situation in Annan. His heart", then "the imperial court will not die".

Mao Bowen and others, who led the troops on the front line, commanded the army to gather at the border to "extend the prestige"; at the same time, they sent Wang Liangfu and others to warn Mo Dengyong; No. Feng Zhengshuo, then the soldiers can be stopped, and Dengyong can be born." He also showed his handwriting to convince him of the sincerity of Ming Dynasty.

Then Mo Dengyong accepted the letter and went to Nanguan to plead guilty.Mo wrote in the "Book of Annan Qiren Renren", "Although I miss Mo's felony, it is really the return of the barbarians... His Majesty Fuwang has pity for the distant beings, obeys the barbarians, and bestows a new life According to the stories of the past dynasties, he was either the general manager or the general protector, so that he could manage the affairs of the state and be known as a vassal from generation to generation."

As Zhang Yue suggested, he asked for demotion.Qiu Luan and Mao Bowen suggested in a play on this matter, "If you are forgiven, maybe you can not use the name of the chief protector, etc., as in the Han and Tang stories, this is the so-called one who ruled the barbarians by the barbarians."

In the end, Emperor Jiajing ordered Annan Kingdom to be the commander of the Annan Capital, and Mo Dengyong was the commander of the Annan Capital. go".

The Mo family was charged with the crime of usurping the establishment and not paying tribute. The Ming Dynasty should have launched an army to conquer, but it was punished by dropping its title to "pity the living beings in the distance".

But this time, because of Zhang Yue's plan, he surrendered Annan with a large army and did not lure him. Even though the court deterred Annan, he did not waste any military, material or financial resources. Gao Yushi also intends to do the same.

After all, in Chen Ju's eyes, the highly pragmatic "persuasion" ability is also very strong.

But unexpectedly, after Zhu Yijun laughed, he said: "Zhang Yue did a good job back then, but he has a better appetite for pragmatism - pragmatism is for fighting, but he doesn't intend to let me spend money."

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, thinking what does it mean not to let the emperor spend money?
Zhu Yijun said triumphantly: "Practically, I have settled the accounts for me. Take last year's pacification of the Bazhai Rebellion as an example. Ignore all other human and material resources. Just financial resources, do you know how much the court spent? It is equivalent to more than 57 taels." Silver! How much is the Yao people in Bazhai, and we have spent so much money, if we want to fight Annan, who is more than ten times stronger than Bazhai, how much money will the imperial court spend?"

Zhu Yijun sighed: "In the Yongle Dynasty, the imperial treasury was abundant, and it was repeated to fight Annan, and it cost an unreasonable amount of money. That's why Xuanmiao would not let this place go. If we go again now Fighting, not to mention anything else, the Ministry of Households has to start a fight with me.

So I came up with an idea to be pragmatic. Since Mo Maoqia not only attacked him this time, but also attacked a large number of chieftains in western and southern Guangxi, then let the chieftains send troops to teach Mo Maoqia a lesson. !Practically speaking, I can't swallow this breath, and I plan to transfer some of Qinzhou's servants to follow, and at the same time support some money and materials for the chieftains... In this way, I don't have to spend money. "

Chen Ju was a little stunned, and hesitated: "Gao Zhizhi's idea is good, but there are two points that I didn't understand."

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows: "What did you not understand?"

Chen Judao: "First, if the imperial court does not send troops, will the chieftains follow Gao Zhizhi's arrangement to send troops south? Even if they listen, will they be able to beat Annan? I was irritated, but in this case, wouldn't he have lost a lot?"
