Jinyi Night Walk

The emperor suddenly decided that when he returned to Kyoto (after Beijing was promoted to the top, Beijing was called Jingliao, and Nanjing was called Jingdu), something big would happen.Xia Xun couldn't care less about being friendly with Ming'er anymore, and immediately rushed to see the emperor, only to find out that An Nanguo had made a big mess after asking.

Xia Xun felt a little silent when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, such a thing happened. It turns out that the cause of the incident was that someone took bribes to deceive the emperor, and then King Annanli used force to kill the sole heir of the Chen dynasty."

Xia Xun was not too enthusiastic about taking the opportunity to directly rule Annan.

Yan Congjian of the Ming Dynasty lamented when talking about Annan’s gain and loss: Ming Bi lost Annan, firstly because he did not allow the general Zhang Fujiu to take over Annan; The third reason is that the ministers of the Ming court only care about small-scale calculations, but they do not see the long-term benefits of keeping Annan.

In fact, the problem is not just that simple.For example, Annan has established itself as a kingdom for 500 years. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which replaced the Yuan Dynasty and directly took over the rule of the Liaodong administrative agency, the Ming Dynasty did not have any direct governance foundation from the [central] government for Annan: such as sending a large general to command a large army. Loyalty issues such as...

If you want to directly occupy, it is impossible to implement county governance like the Central Plains due to the backward conditions at that time. If you insist on doing it, it is not impossible. The problem is that the governance base is too high. Villages and villages are closed and independent. When officers and soldiers arrive there, they cannot gather heavy troops. If they fight guerrillas, they are like withdrawn beans, which cannot form a joint force.

As for some people, once they think of a place, their first intuition is to occupy it. Then the hunger mentality produced by foreign bandits who go crazy is like some people who are frightened by starvation, even if they become billions of people. Millionaire, no matter where he goes, he still has to prepare all kinds of food around him. Only in this way can he feel safe in his heart.

Xia Xun has been sitting in a high position for several years, and the first thing to weigh in doing things is profit.Whether the country is rich and strong, whether it is stable in the long run or not, is not directly related to the vastness of the territory. Sometimes it is a burden if it is too vast. Genghis Khan's country is vast enough, what is the result?

Historically, the Battle of Annan lasted for more than 30 years. During the more than 30 years, the Ming army fought in different places in the jungle, fighting against the sky and people. The losses were extremely heavy. Many famous ministers and brave generals were there. They paid such a high price and ended up ruling Annan. During the period, it did not bring any benefits to the Ming court and the Ming country, but instead caused the Ming government and the Baifu to pay a huge price.

At that time, the annual financial expenditures for transporting food, ensuring the troops stationed in Annan, and supplying the local people's livelihood exceeded the sum of the supplies for the northern and southern capitals at that time.Zhu Yuanjing, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, once said: "The barbarians in the four directions and the small southern barbarian countries are limited to mountains and seas, and they are secluded in a corner. The land is not enough to provide, and the people are not enough to command. If they don't pay their own way to disturb our side, they will do nothing. Unlucky. He is not a trouble for the country of [China], but it is also unlucky for me to attack him."

This is a pragmatic thought of a politician rather than a consideration for posthumous fame.

Annan is not Liaodong, and there is no fatal threat to the Ming court. Holding it in his hands, the benefits obtained are far less than the low cost of indirect control. Get the benefits you want.

According to different environments and conditions, different strategies should be adopted. What must be in your own hands can be done. Let your father, brother, and son bury their bones in a foreign land, and let you use the hard-earned food and weave it. Don't you object if you send your distribution area to a foreign land, but you can't get back something that is beneficial to the country and the people?

If your border is in Yunnan, you can't make the country rich and the people strong, but can you get Annan?

Next, do you think Myanmar is in the way and then win Myanmar?Then there are Champa, Old Man, Siam, Chenla, India...

Every time you take a place, you always have to come into contact with a newer area and a newer regime. Do you have to occupy it indefinitely before you have the confidence to guarantee your own development?I'm afraid that at that time, it will become a blind man breaking corn, breaking a stick and throwing a stick. As long as there is an accident, it will cause a chain reaction like a domino. Everything gained by paying huge financial resources and sacrifices will disappear like a cloud. .

Xia Xun tends to control indirectly. When it is not profitable, there is a subordinate relationship that restrains them. When it is profitable, it can be used by me.He didn't want to turn the "cemetery" in the eyes of the American soldiers... Vietnam into a cemetery where countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were buried. It would not be beneficial to the country and the people in exchange for something that would not be beneficial to the country and the people, and he still had no choice but to give up.

Annan has always been dominated by Chinese culture, using Chinese characters as the official script, Confucianism as the official doctrine, conducting imperial examinations, even learning Taoism, and customs and habits are also deeply influenced by China.

In such a country, it is very convenient to find one or two agents.

Therefore, it is enough to restrain it first with the strategy of combining hardness and softness, and then infiltrate it with cultural indoctrination!

Xia Xun's silence, in Zhu Di's view, was due to his worries about Annan's situation. Instead, he comforted him: "Wenxuan doesn't need to worry, 1 Bu Xiao Annan, he won't show any signs of jumping out of ether, you can rest assured Liaodong As I said, the troubles in the heart of my [China] country have always come from the north. It is of great significance to manage Liaodong. Of!"

Xia Xun hurriedly bowed and said yes, and said in his heart, "No matter what, there will always be a fight over Annan's side. This battle won't be over for a year or so. Then I will go back to Jinling. If that At that time, the emperor decided to directly govern Annan, and then he made suggestions for the emperor to try his best to stabilize the rule, so as not to pay a heavy price, but in the end he got nothing. What the emperor said is true, the heart of [China] has always been in Liaodong. At present, I still put Put your mind here and make sure that there will be no problems in Liaodong!"

※※※※※

The governor has returned to Liaodong.

The timing of Xia Xun's return to Liaodong was just right, and Wanshiyu had almost dealt with the riot in Kaiyuan City.

Thanks to Zhang Jun's full cooperation, coupled with the heavy losses in the two successive battles of the shoe target, there is currently no force on the Eastern Front. Even if some tribes are a little bit resentful, they dare not act rashly and continue to play, "You don't treat me differently, brother Go shoe-hugging big tui" trick.

Wanshiyu's treatment was not insignificant. Many murderers who beat, smashed, looted and burned were directly caught by him on the street and executed on the spot.

As soon as the riot started, Wanshiyu activated the emergency mechanism and implemented emergency measures similar to military control.The imperial court has relevant regulations. In the emergency state of countering rebellion, suppressing bandits, and strong enemy invasion, the local government has the right to handle special matters, and the military, political and judicial power is monopolized, and it will be reported to the imperial court afterwards. Obviously, Wan Shiyu has long thought of the authority to deal with the aftermath Now, his scheming is not so sophisticated.

Liaodong originally had only the "military government" and now there is an extra shogunate agency. As long as Zhang Jun has no objection, Wanshiyu's power can be implemented.Of course Zhang Jun has no objections. The secret order has arrived before Xia Xun came back, and there are only six words to Wan Shiyu: "Do well, do well!"

From Zhang Jun's point of view, this is the silent condemnation of the minister.At this time, he relied the most on the army, but Xia Xun didn't say a word to him, and even praised Wanshiyu. Isn't this dissatisfied with his weakness and tolerance?

As a result, Zhang Jun's attitude became tougher, and his change virtually created conditions for him to establish his personal prestige.You must know that the parties to the conflict this time are the children of the Liaodong military and the Liaodong Han people. They take out one at random, and there is a general behind them or a long-standing Han family in Liaodong. Some families are as old as five generations. The civil strife in the Central Plains of the Ten Kingdoms fled to Liaodong and lived under the Liao Kingdom. After four or five hundred years of reproduction, they are now in Liaodong, a force that no one dares to ignore.

Zhang Jun was originally an officer in the capital of Liaodong. He worked under Shen Yong, and he was only famous inside the capital's yamen. His influence outside was not even comparable to those generals who directly led the troops. He has no prestige, even among the generals of the guards, he lacks control.

When Xia Xun was here, he was still a follower. Xia Xun wanted to hand over the army to him. He had to manage it for a period of time before he could establish his prestige in the Liaodong army.

Through this incident, the Liaodong military and the Liaodong clan gradually developed a good impression of him. Once they agreed with a person, they would not have resistance to his orders, which laid the foundation for him to preside over Liaodong military affairs.

As for a higher level of obedience, long-term control of one party's power can naturally be formed. Shen Yong's mediocre talent of "ruling by doing nothing" in Liaodong, after sitting in that position for a long time, can also recruit a bunch of party members. Temur was so tough that he didn't dare to contradict him openly, not to mention Zhang Jun was a man who dared to do things.

Therefore, with the concerted efforts of Zhang Jun and Wan Shiyu, the crisis was resolved completely. When Xia Xun returned to Liaodong, those who should be killed had already been killed, those who should be sentenced had already been sentenced, and the dust was settled.

Today, Mo Ke, Director of Justice of Wanshiyuling, is continuing the investigation. Due to the chaos at the time, many people who participated in the conflict at the beginning had died, and the information obtained by the official authorities is not comprehensive.

And Zuo Dan and others were ordered by Xia Xun to provide some information to Mo Ke in the name of Jin Yiwei, but because they were mainly tracking and monitoring, making some inferences from the other party's contact and subsequent actions could not be used as a direct result. Therefore, Wanshiyu still needs a detailed investigation process if it wants to conduct a public trial and sentence those with ulterior motives who deliberately provoke disputes.

There are only more than 100 people in the "Huaguna" tribe, and the number is small, but they defected to Daming in the name of subordination. Before there is any conclusive evidence, any unfavorable treatment of them will affect all the subordination tribes. The reason why Xun had to deal with it carefully was not because "Yi Bu Ying" was a woman, and she was a good-looking woman, so she felt sorry for her.

When Xia Xun returned to Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan's military and political circles, local celebrities, and even local tribal leaders rushed to greet him. Xia Xun came with Zheng He. It is of course happy to be able to announce that those "temporary workers" of the Liaodong shogunate can become officials officially established by the imperial court: the Liaodong capital can be separated from the Shandong capital, and the entire yamen has been promoted to a higher rank, which is also very happy.As for those tribal leaders, many of them were children of the clan who had been punished too severely by Wan Shiyu, came here reluctantly, and wanted to complain and sue Xia Xun.

Unexpectedly, when Xia Xun returned to Liaodong, it was as if there had never been such a riot in Kaiyuan City that shocked even Sheng Jia. From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned this topic at all. They welcomed him back to the governor's yamen, Xia Xun just announced flatly: "Eunuch Zheng has worked hard from afar, today he will clean up the dust for his father-in-law, take a rest, and announce the imperial decree tomorrow. Please colleagues, gentry, and leaders Come to greet me, Yang is overwhelmed with emotion! Today is a feast, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return!” @.
