Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 673: Zhu Qiyu, the imperial supervisor who made the enamelware, named it Cloisonné
Yang Xinmin is really old and can't stand running around all the time.Xu Youzhen, on the other hand, had accumulated enough military exploits and wanted to return to the central government to take charge.

This is the reason why Zhu Qiyu allowed his civil servants to lead troops abroad. After a civil servant has accomplished his meritorious service, his first pursuit is to return to the central government to serve as prime minister and assistant. The same is true for Wang Ji and the same is true for Xu Youzhen.

It is extremely rare for a civil servant to want to be a military envoy.

Just who should we send to replace them?It is still an old problem. In the central government, there are too few civil servants at the level of ministers and ministers available; at the local level, there are too few civil servants at the level of governors and governors available.

Although Zhu Qiyu always clamored that anyone who didn't want to do it could just leave, but in fact it would be quite troublesome if all these people really ran away.

After scratching his head and thinking for a long time, Zhu Qiyu patted the table and said: "Let Wang Lai take over as the governor of the five provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Annan, Champa and Lancang.

Let Xiang Zhong take over as governor of Guangdong, and let Bai Gui take over as governor of Annan.

After defeating Manchu Boyi, I will make Xu Youzhen a marquis and Yang Xinmin an earl.

It's interesting enough. I'm going to work hard. It's a lot of pressure for civil servants to become marquises.To do this kind of thing, I have to withstand doubts from both the government and the opposition.

Fortunately, there was the Korean Prime Minister Li Shanchang in front of him, otherwise there would be no precedent. "

Lin Xiangyu came up to help Zhu Qiyu take off his coat, and then pinched his shoulders.

Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the situation and began to express his credit: "Oh, it's really tiring for me. I tremble in my heart when I see those important ministers.

A bunch of old foxes are really hard to maintain. Almost all of these people in the cabinet were promoted by me, but they still had to promise them benefits before they would support me, Yi Chu. "

In history, Jingtai sealed off a bunch of Prince's Third Master and Prince's Third Young Master in order to make it easier for him to save the country.What's the difference between me and him now? I've also made a lot of promises.

Despise Jingtai, laugh at Jingtai, understand Jingtai, become Jingtai, and surpass Jingtai.

This mental journey is really ridiculous.

After struggling for a long time, the government and the opposition still resisted and resisted, and finally forced Yichu.

The only difference is that I am never arrogant enough to believe that I can control the Forbidden City.

Historically, Jingtai firmly believed that no one would attack his only son. This kind of blind confidence was absurd enough.

After sighing for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked: "Where did Xue'er and Xi'er go?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "My husband is so imaginative, what do you want the Queen's Supervisor to do for a gold-threaded enamel lotus pattern refrigerator? Poor Ruan Xi, the Queen's Supervisor's handprint, commanded the skilled craftsmen to work hard for more than a year, and finally made it for you with tears in his eyes."

There were thirty in the first batch, and these things couldn't be moved into Lingyu Palace, so Xue'er and Xi'er went to Changle Palace to check and accept them.Why don't you, husband, also go to Changle Palace? "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "It's neither porcelain nor jade. Let me see what that junk is for. Let Xue'er and Xi'er accept it, and then take it out for appreciation.

Giving one to each of the cabinet bachelors was regarded as bribing them into agreeing to Yichu.Also give it to the kings, dukes and princes in Beijing. "

"Do you also give it to a king like Li Hongwei?"

"Here, don't look so petty. Give it to the king who surrenders."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Qianxue and Suxi came back smiling.

As soon as she entered the door, Qianxue smiled and said: "Our Ming craftsmen are really skillful. They use gold and enamel craftsmanship, and the utensils they create are really luxurious.

Ruan Xi asked your husband for instructions on behalf of the craftsmen, asking you to give a name to the utensils of this type of craft. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, give Ruan Xi some face."

"Then you go and see for yourself?"

"No need, I've seen the gold and enamelware they made. Let's call it cloisonné."

"Cloisonne? What a good name, very appropriate."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded. In fact, he would rather create a porcelain cloisonné. He really didn't like the complicated and gorgeous patterns like enamelware.Qianxue smiled and said: "The Queen also liked it very much. Changle Palace kept five pieces and gave another one to Brother Fang."

"Okay, give the rest to the cabinet ministers and the princes and princes in Beijing."

Qianxue nodded: "One piece costs 1000 taels of silver. The slave family is thinking of making four more pieces and sending them to Nanjing to give to King Yi and the prince."

"Why four?"

Qianxue smiled and said: "One for King Yi, one for Princess Yi, and two for the prince. The prince keeps one for his own use, and the other can be given to his beloved concubine at his own discretion."

Zhu Qiyu heard this and teased: "The prince has appointed four concubines, so you give him one to reward others. If two peaches kill three people, you will understand."

Qianxue retorted: "You are using the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's true, I am a villain and have taken away someone else's throne."

Qianxue took out a secret note and handed it over: "I just received it, from North Korea."

Zhu Qiyu opened it and laughed: "These civil and military ministers are really funny, those people in North Korea always want to instruct those people in Shandong to work.

One theory is that the ships of the North Korean Navy cannot withstand the wind and waves, and the Shandong Navy must be responsible for ocean-going tasks.

The Shandong Navy didn't want to rush forward foolishly.

Now the North Koreans proposed to land directly on Hokurikudo, establish a stronghold, gain a firm foothold, and then attack the Kanto-led Uesugi clan from east to west with the Kamakura shogunate.

The Shandong Navy refused to cooperate with this plan, so they petitioned the Holy See. "

Qianxue asked: "What do you plan to do, husband?"

"What can we do? The Japanese are self-aware and do not dare to send their navy to fight head-on with our navy. Let's go to land. The Japanese mainland is also full of mountains and there are few flat areas.

Japan’s coastline is very long, so it’s not particularly difficult to find an unguarded beach to land on.

The problem is that the mountains are all up there, and there are not even supplies in the barren mountains and mountains. Once the army falls into it, the sky will not respond, and the earth will not work.

If Japan were not rich in gold and silver minerals, I would not bother to attack Japan. "

Asayuki confirmed again: "Does Japan really have a lot of gold and silver minerals?"

"Yes, that's why everyone in the government and the public thinks there's something wrong with my head, but I still insist on going to Japan.

If we didn't have these mines, I would have enough to eat and let an army of [-] go to dig holes in the mountains thousands of miles away.

Why is it that the Ashikaga Sei clan has established its own Kamakura shogunate in Kanto, but the Muromachi shogunate can't do anything about it? It's because there are three to four hundred miles of mountains between Kyoto and Kanto.

The army was exhausted just by walking through it. If they were ambushed on the way, the army would be almost finished. "

Qianxue asked: "Isn't there even a good way for my husband to be so powerful?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I am also scratching my head. I don't blame the generals who were sent out. I didn't have a definite strategy when I came here.

Things will get better as time goes by, so we can only wait and see if there are any changes.

Only by recognizing variables and quickly seizing opportunities can you get twice the result with half the effort and achieve miraculous results.

Before the fighter planes appeared, all I could think of was dividing the enemy and inciting them to split and fight among themselves.

Then they divide and win over each other to see if some traitors and leading parties can appear within them.

For example, Masahiro Ouchi has negotiated directly with me before, but he will only fulfill the covenant he made with us until there is a major breakthrough in our war.
