Jingming

Chapter 130 Eighteen Arhats of Pain (Add 22 for the leader MikoyanMing)

At the beginning of Haishi, according to His Majesty's new living time, it should be time to go to bed... Ah no, it's time to study the scriptures.

Zhu Qingping watched Gao Zhong go back to the imperial dining room in a hurry, chased after him and asked, "Isn't the imperial study finished yet?"

Gao Zhong kept walking: "That's right, His Majesty wants to continue the discussion, but won't let the elders leave. Looking at this posture, I'm afraid it will take a while to discuss and let the imperial dining room prepare some snacks for supper."

Zhu Qingping was a little stunned to see him go to work, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the Zhongyuan Hall.

From early morning until now, I haven't come out of the Imperial Study Room.

What is the important matter discussed today that makes His Majesty so anxious?
In the imperial study room, Cui Yuan, who became a social animal on the first day of work, looked at the old ministers who looked a little weak and dazed, and the emperor who was still in good spirits.

...You are using your 15-year-old body to boil them over!
Cui Yuan, who was just 44 years old, is actually fine.

But I didn't expect that the meeting after meeting the Portuguese would turn out like this.

"...Your Majesty, from the current countermeasures to the long-term national policy, the ministers have listed the feasible methods one by one, and thoroughly discussed their feasibility, gains and losses. Your Majesty is worried about the sea, and the ministers have empathized with them. Your Majesty is determined to change the law and strive for strength. The ministers and others are also wholeheartedly like this."

Yang Tinghe continued in a weary voice: "Let Zhang Fujing serve as the temporary governor of Youqian Capital Yushi to try out various new laws for the prosperity of the country in Guangdong. The officials and others have already thought that it is acceptable. However, the re-establishment of the three major battalions is in full swing, and the establishment of Nanyang in Guangdong The navy, its regulations are far beyond what is needed to wipe out the enemies in Tuen Mun, and it is also far beyond the needs of the coastal provinces to patrol the sea for several years to supplement the defense of warships. It is not that the ministers think that they will not be needed in the long run, but that the navy... is too expensive ah."

He was really tired. The old man was locked up here for a day's meeting, and now he speaks less and less literally, and his tone is getting softer.

Zhu Houcong nodded: "Money is the only thing in trouble, and I know that. Therefore, today I reviewed many national policies to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and decided to ask Zhang Fu to try out some new laws for enriching the country. However, I always think that the troubles of the Western Sea of ​​Humans are not trivial. The Battle of Gate added a batch of warships to Haiphong Road in the coastal provinces, supplemented generals, and then tried to imitate the Portuguese guns and weapons to improve combat power, and I am afraid that we will be exhausted and can only stick to the situation."

Cui Yuan sighed in his heart: here we come again, a new round of "I always think".

He didn't say that what you said was unreasonable. He just always emphasized that the Western population problem needs to be taken seriously, and it needs to be taken seriously.

Then, the [-] ministers who participated in the national policy meeting were left alone like this. Lunch and dinner were all used here, and there was an official room if there was an emergency.

Cui Yuan didn't know that this was actually the first time, so he was quite curious: Could it be that Guo Xun couldn't stand such a meeting and asked to leave?

Cui Yuan, who just came back for a day, didn't have time to learn a lot of news, not to mention many things "do not leave the Imperial Study Room".

Yang Tinghe's beard couldn't help shaking, feeling his mouth was dry, he picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

Willpower is faltering, and there is an urge to do whatever you want and go home and rest.

When studying history, Emperor Taizu was so diligent that it made people feel terrible. Officials were often afraid of being found wrong, and then the family would be reunited under Jiuquan.

Where is Your Majesty now?If you are at fault, he will not kill you easily. He encourages you to argue boldly and feel free to argue, but he keeps you arguing!It's been noisy all the time!
Is the most terrifying part of this national policy meeting the danger around the emperor?No, except for the emperor, no one suppressed anyone and let go of the quarrel.

Sometimes it takes a lot of willpower to refrain from being rude and swearing.

Zhu Houcong still maintained a worried expression.

no way.

Is it true that Xiu Yixiu's understanding of the world and overseas intelligence can move them to pay attention to the direction of the sea?

If it was just to interrogate Pi Lai, no one would pay attention to the south of Tuen Mun Island.

The defeat in Tuen Mun was just an opportunity, at least more bloody and convincing than a map or something: people's current guns and warships are more powerful than Ming Dynasty, and no one can deny the recognition gained in exchange for hundreds of lives.

However, it has been hundreds of years since Huaxia personally felt the irreversibility of the threat from the sea direction, and the most troublesome thing when Jiajing moved to the sea direction was nothing more than the Japanese pirates.

He knew there was no need to worry, but he was afraid that if he didn't do something in his life, future generations in hundreds of years wouldn't be in a hurry.

The opportunities of the ocean era are gone forever, and if he does not move now, if Zhu Houcong does not personally promote it, who will really value the ocean?
Don't look at the appearance of everyone in the main hall of Qianqing Palace and when they first arrived in the imperial study room, everyone is an old politician, and the superficial attitude must be given.

Leaders attach great importance to it, so of course we should also appear to attach great importance to it, although we don't really attach importance to it in our hearts, and there are thousands of reasons why we don't attach importance to it.

Today, Zhu Houcong talked with Pi Laizi in an unusual way of speaking, so that they were surprised by the emperor's importance to this matter because of the first round of abruptness: so many Jinyiwei were thrown out, besides going to Guangdong to kill people, there is this Task?Your Majesty already knows so much?

Using Pi Laizi's reaction to prove what he said was true, he came to the imperial study and then exaggerated and described the invasion of the great powers that would happen hundreds of years later to the not-too-distant future: My Ming Dynasty is about to end, so find a way.

Then force them to think of a way here first.

Zhu Houcong's description of the consequences over and over again in this process of constantly thinking of ways to deal with "unfounded" disasters will eventually play a role in brainwashing.

The emperor attaches so much importance to one thing, he will eventually make some interested officials work hard in this direction.

Direction guidance, sometimes it's just that, you have to make enough gestures.

Of course there are results.

Zhang Fujing asked for a memorial to try out the new law in Guangdong, and it was passed.

You must know that before today, although the keynote of the national policy meeting has long been that the new law will eventually be implemented, when to start and which ones to try first have been arguing and cannot be settled.

When they "unanimously agreed" that the new law could be tried immediately in Guangdong, and after Zhu Houcong said the phrase "I always think", he saw the eyes of Yang Tinghe and others looking forward to relief instantly collapsed.

Destroy it, hurry up.

It's that sense of sight.

……

Princess Yongkang once suspected that Cui Yuan went out to drink and have a good time after being on duty today.

Didn't the pure Prince Consort go to the brothel to have fun with prostitutes without any scruples?

But last night's bravery was unmatched and could not be faked. People in their 40s can't withstand such a toss, right?
Or, just touch it?
Cui Yuan went back to the mansion until it was almost son's time.

His expression was haggard, his eyes were in a trance, and his footsteps were weak.

But there was no smell of alcohol on him.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing that he didn't even bother to wash, he just lay down on the couch, Princess Yongkang was startled, and hurriedly sat over and asked.

"...This national policy meeting is really not a place for people to stay."

"What happened?" Princess Yongkang was terrified, "Don't scare me!"

Cui Yuan's eyes were sore, and tears came into his eyes: "I entered the palace before Yinshi, and the discussion lasted until just now. Your Majesty said that the Minister of National Policy will not have to go to the Chang Dynasty tomorrow, but he will enter the palace in the afternoon to continue the discussion."

real.He thought it was time to leave after eating snacks, right?

But His Majesty ate such a few small dishes for more than half an hour, chatting while eating, and from time to time used a few secret reports from Jin Yiwei to support his point of view.

His cousin!My other nephew!Isn't it still lying in the Jiyan Palace and will be triggered next month!

How can it be like a story made up by some boring people, insisting on obsessing over the "distress" in the vast ocean?

With the power of Daming, wouldn't it be enough to guard at the door of the house?As far as patrolling the coastal areas, isn't the current five times the size of the Haiphong Road not enough?

Princess Yongkang stared at him blankly, and it was hard to ask why he wanted to cry so much.

"Sleep first, sleep first, I'm too tired." Cui Yuan doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, and energy must be guaranteed.

But can Yang Tinghe and Yuan Zonggao bear it?

That night, the ministers participating in the national policy conference dreamed of Zhu Houcong's voice of "I always think".

Completely different from the people of the Celestial Dynasty who settled down and relocated, Westerners who generally like to take risks and seek wealth.

Westerners who can do anything for money, take it as virtue and ability instead of ashamed, and are afraid of power but not virtuous.

The king of a country issues a pass to pirates, encouraging his people to go to sea to rob the Westerners who then share the spoils with the king.

A day of "evil discussion" during the day turned into a nightmare of gunfire and sea robbery after falling asleep.

Yang Tinghe woke up when he was about half an hour away from Yinshi, recalling the nightmare, he suddenly remembered his son who was already in Guangdong.

With a splitting headache, Yang Tinghe couldn't laugh or cry in his still-quiet thoughts: It really doesn't seem like he wants to use this issue to make the courtiers exchange something, but is the problem of Westerners really as terrible as the emperor said?

Could it be that the result of the Tuen Mun naval battle was too tragic, and His Majesty was overly stimulated?

This is really not like what he would do if he is wise and calm.

Under the action of the biological clock, Yang Tinghe couldn't fall asleep for a while.

He didn't have to go to the Chang Dynasty today, so he simply got up and pondered the emperor's intentions, and pondered how to continue to deal with this topic after entering the palace in the afternoon.

Wang Qiong is also pondering.

He is a pragmatic person, but he also feels that the emperor seems to be making a big deal out of a molehill now.

In fact, the truth has already been said, a huge navy consumes too much.Zheng He's fleet did not last forever, which is a very important reason.

The emperor wanted to expand the territory, and the ministers naturally understood it.But how to govern will be a big problem. After having solid soil, the road is far away, and how to solve the risk of separatism?

And yesterday, I also tested the point of violating the ancestral system and opening up the sea ban. Although many maritime merchants no longer need to be pirates, there are more profit-seeking people, and guns are required to travel to and from the sea.
None of them knew that thinking about this matter now had achieved the emperor's goal.

After all, they were really forced to start thinking about matters related to this topic, although it was out of necessity to deal with the emperor's torture.

In the afternoon, in the imperial study room of the Zhongyuan Hall, the emperor was still in high spirits.

Veteran sadly: Can't compare, he got up early to go to the Chang Dynasty.

"After breaking up last night, I thought a lot..."

When Zhu Houcong opened his mouth, several people trembled.

your age!don't you sleepYou can still grow your body!
"Thinking about it, yesterday was too eager."

Both Yang Tinghe and Yuan Zonggao obviously relaxed a lot: You finally figured it out.

"This fact is a hundred-year plan, and there is no reason why it can be done in haste." Zhu Houcong's worried expression disappeared, and now he replaced it with a serious expression, "However, I always think..."

Everyone's hands under the desk couldn't help clenching their fists.

"...that generation of Westerners will sooner or later become a serious problem!"

The fist was loosened, and sooner or later this time, it was still figured out.There is no rush.

"For this reason, I believe that our Ming Dynasty must have a national policy that will not change for a hundred years."

Eighteen Pain Arhats looked at him.

Zhu Houcong said decisively: "Even if the sea troubles I mentioned will not be out of control in just ten years or even a hundred years, if I spend my whole life, I should also plan for Ming Dynasty and build another Great Wall on the Sea in Nanyang!"

Yang Tinghe's eyes darkened, and he obviously swayed. There were six or seven of them who behaved similarly to him.

Building the Great Wall is a sign of national subjugation!
Still repairing at sea!

"Ge Lao, don't panic!" Zhu Houcong was afraid of his myocardial infarction, "This Great Wall is not the Great Wall! This Great Wall on the Sea has only passes but no walls. If we can set up port garrisons at important sea routes in the direction of Nanyang and Dongyang in our Ming Dynasty, the control will be brief. If you follow the Tao, you will not travel thousands of miles to the sea, chasing the enemy but not being able to, and there is always the danger of pirates invading your home."

Yang Ting calmed down, and said with a complicated mood: "Your Majesty is saying that it is like the Portuguese captured Manga and locked the strait?"

"Exactly! At that time, it was a vassal state, and it had no use as a screen vassal, and I, Ming Dynasty, didn't want to take care of it. However, it is not what it used to be. It is the plan of the Ming Dynasty for all generations. The foundation of coastal defense may lie in the management of Southeast Asia, which will remain unchanged for a hundred generations. national policy."

Yang Tinghe didn't want to talk much.It's just another way of saying it, I talked about it yesterday.

The fundamental problem is still that the distance is too far away, how to effectively control it, and control it under the condition of bringing benefits.

Both Guangdong and Guangxi can become like that, let alone Nanyang?
"I also know it's difficult, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm still young. As you said, first imitate Westerners' guns and strengthen coastal defenses, and don't need to make a big show of it right now. I figured this out." Zhu Houcong pretended to be serious. It seems that yesterday's worry was just a moment of stupidity, "However, if you look at it for a hundred years, my national policy of managing Nanyang and building the Great Wall on the Sea makes sense, do you think so?"

Everyone is tired.

You said you were in no hurry, right?You said that right now, we should imitate guns and strengthen the coastal defense road, right?
The century-old national policy, and the rest, leave him alone.

So the eighteen suffering arhats all replied together: "This is indeed the best policy."

Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction: "Then the Imperial Study will hang a plaque from now on, writing a national policy that will not change for a hundred years. The first is the Great Wall of the South Seas. In future national policy meetings, all ministers will see it, think about it, and often discuss it when they come to the Imperial Study. I believe that with the virtuous rulers and ministers, in one year, three years, five years, or ten years, a safe policy can always be discussed, and an opportunity to realize it can always be found!"

Eighteen suffering Arhats all trembled.

Do you want to think about and discuss this issue often in the future?
You've been fooled, does the eternal strategy enjoy this kind of "treatment"?

This minister who participated in the national policy meeting is improper!

　Today is 1.18 words, daily ten thousand +1, and leader plus -1=6.Due to the update, this plot cannot be finished at one time, so there is a sense of fragmentation.It is difficult to change the deep-rooted indifference to the ocean. Since the protagonist can do things so calmly, why would he suddenly show something for the sake of acting?In the entire Ming Dynasty, he is the only one who is most hopeful to reverse some cognitions. Some experts in the folk may realize it, but the court chiefs will not care.The advantage of the emperor is that I can torture you to think about this problem: I don’t need to rush to do something, but you have to think about it.

　　That's enough, take your time.

　　Starting tomorrow, the number of updates will be reduced to at least two updates per day, with a guaranteed minimum of 8000 words.I can save more manuscripts and polish them, and I can relax. 10 words were updated in 13 days, and the saved manuscripts are being consumed rapidly, accompanied by revisions in some places.

　　Quality comes first, please be considerate.
