Chapter 200 Digging and digging in the big garden

"The Four Guards of Tengxiang... As far as I know, it seems that the Four Guards have never gone to war. Is it too hasty to go there rashly?" After all the work issues have been discussed clearly, Yuan Keli is not going to give up and has to worry about others, such as Zhang Of course.

It's true that the Four Tengxiang Guards were the emperor's own troops, which sounds quite bluffing. In addition, in the Yingzong Dynasty, Commander Qian had defended the capital and refused to retreat in the face of the Mongolian army. The battle was very impressive.

But this is all based on the old almanac, and ordinary people can do it, but I really don’t believe it for him who has served as an official in the court.Since the defense of the capital, the civil service group has been trying to weaken the military power in the hands of the emperor. The result is that the emperor's own troops are getting fewer and fewer, and they are increasingly neglected in training, and have no chance to participate in actual combat.

Throwing such a pampered army with no combat experience thousands of miles into the enemy's hinterland, isolated and helpless, is a question, let alone whether it can win or not, and whether it will get lost.

"Admiral Yuan, don't look through the cracks in the door..." Did you see that before the emperor said anything, Zhang Ran, the censor of the Royal Horse, became unhappy.What's the matter, we just received the emperor's mission and have the opportunity to lead the army to fight, so you just blow the wind and cause trouble, you don't want to look down on others, right?

It's no wonder that Zhang Ran is not happy. There is a reason why Yuan Keli couldn't get along in the court before. No one likes his subordinates to break the casserole and ask the truth.Some things can only be done but not said. It is too difficult for a leader to figure everything out before deciding whether to do it or not.

"Zhang Zhangyin is right. The soldiers should treat each other with admiration after three days of separation. My Tengxiang Four Guards have been training secretly for three years. Their organization, tactics, and ordnance are all different from those of the border troops. This dispatch to Liaodong is not a battle. It's about training. I believe that an army that has never seen blood can never be considered a strong army."

Seeing that the only two military leaders under his command were trying to engage in a quarrel, Hong Tao quickly made a final statement and made his general intention clear, so as not to mistrust each other in the future and miss important events.

"...I will obey the holy orders and dare not make mistakes!" Yuan Keli originally wanted to ask about new tactics and new weapons that could enable a pampered army to harass the enemy's rear. If the emperor wanted it simple, , must be directly remonstrated and dissuaded.

Now he is no longer working for the emperor, but is pursuing a future. The future of the whole family and even the whole clan is tied to the emperor's new policy, and there is no room for any negligence.But after hearing the last sentence and seeing the emperor's expression, he forcefully swallowed the words back.

It was too cold and too insidious. The half-smiling look and the laughter that seemed to come from the eighteenth level of hell were so similar to last year when he asked me to send a ship to Haojing to find the Folangji people to buy food.

Who knows how the young emperor, who had only been in power for a few years and had never been to the south of the Yangtze River, was able to convince Fo Langji from thousands of miles away.The group of Xifan merchants who were rumored to only care about money showed no sign of reluctance. They scrambled to entertain themselves, and some even offered gold in private to try to bribe them.

There is only one purpose, to let them hand over the important task of purchasing grain in Nanyang. Not only to ensure that the task is completed, but also not to take the opportunity to increase the price, the settlement must be based on the price before the grain shortage.

That's called sincerity. Who said that Fo Langji was unreasonable? If it weren't for the snowflake sugar pressing factory and the manager and 36 Xingtou accompanying him, I would have been moved to tears.

As long as the hair is darker, the eyes are not flowery, and the body is not so hairy, and they are all good citizens of the Ming Dynasty who are concerned about their country and loyal to their emperor, they are qualified to join the cabinet and become a bachelor immediately.

As a result, when he met Li Zhi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and learned some of the behind-the-scenes details, he almost jumped into the sea and committed suicide.It's really too childish and naive.This is not his own summary, but Li Zhi’s evaluation.He said that the emperor is a rare king. As long as no big accident occurs, he has a great chance of becoming the emperor of eternity and is very worthy of following.But if anyone said that the emperor was more noble in character and morality, he would be the first to disagree.

The Xifan businessmen were inspired by the saint's kindness, regarded the Ming Dynasty as their hometown, and rushed to donate money and food to relieve the court's worries. These were all lies used by the "Half Moon Talk" to confuse the government and the public, and not a word of it was true.

The real situation is that the emperor got these things by colluding with the Buddhist monks who built the Europa Temple in Beijing and the Haojing Buddhist merchants a few years ago, using them as the exclusive agent for import and export trade goods in Guangzhou Port and protecting them. food.

Sounds reasonable, right?The Ming court didn't seem to have much to lose, right?The emperor once personally replied to Li Zhi that anyone who thinks so is not qualified to hold a position above the fifth rank.

What is exclusive agency and how to protect it?In layman's terms, in the future, goods imported and exported from Guangzhou Port can only and must be made by Franji merchants in addition to Ming merchants.If there are businessmen from other countries who want to intervene, and the Franconian merchants are unable to handle it, the Ming court has the responsibility and obligation to intervene.

What if the other party is unreasonable and unwilling to accept it?There are only two outcomes in the end, either send troops to beat the people away, or throw the royal reputation aside and tear up the contract signed with the Francois.Based on Li Zhi's understanding of the emperor, the possibility of sending troops is relatively high. Looking at the warships and artillery of the bandit suppression office, it is basically certain.

From a certain perspective, the emperor colluded with foreign countries and sold national interests in exchange for food, and then used the food as weapons to attack political opponents.This approach can no longer be distinguished in terms of good and bad. It is necessary to skip personal conduct and measure it from the national level before it is possible to arrive at a relatively objective evaluation.

And when we look back at what the emperor did after he ascended the throne, we cannot simply evaluate it in terms of good or bad.He started secretly contacting the Fo Langji people a few years ago, and then used the excuse of suppressing bandits to build sea ships. It was obviously a cover-up, and the ultimate goal was to deceive people.

He also pretended to be so similar and hid it from the civil and military officials of the court. Many people didn't even understand what happened after falling into the pit.If such a person who is full of lies, full of acting skills, and full of harmful tricks can be called noble, then it seems that there are no bad people in this world.

This time, suddenly abandoning Liaodong, secretly training the Four Guards of Tengxiang, and secretly running the Immortal Island, it seems that it is not forced to do anything, but more like digging a hole again.Who are you planning to trick?It is possible that the civil servant group forced the emperor to give up the interests of many royal factories. It is difficult to say how many days he can laugh.

It is also possible for the military commanders and nobles. This time the emperor came to Haihe Machinery Factory to teach the master craftsmen several new items face to face, and specifically asked not only to make them, but also to record the process clearly and teach it to the craftsmen who came for training in the future. , the core steps are hidden first.

The Civil Service Group, the Honorable Group, and the Liaodong Jurchens, this big hole is really deep enough, and all of the top three enemies who hindered the imperial power have been trapped in it at once, but I don’t know if they can be trapped.

If this matter were placed on others, Yuan Keli would definitely not believe it, but for this emperor who is good at creating miracles and has succeeded more than once, he must have 12 points of confidence, just wait and see.
