Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 850 The Carriage

Just now when Xia Xun and the King of Han were fighting for the right to command the army, Zhang Fu already felt in a dilemma.

He didn't want to get involved in political disputes. In the struggle for the crown prince, he had always tried to remain neutral. Since the King of Han had expressed his desire to lead the army, no matter what his real purpose was, Zhang Fu could not fight with the King of Han.But now that Xia Xun tried his best to advocate the benefits of having him lead the army, if he didn't express his opinion, wouldn't it make the emperor feel that he didn't want to go to Annan to suffer?

In desperation, Zhang Fu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "As long as the emperor gives an order, I am willing to lead the army immediately to pacify Annan!"

Zhu Di gave a noncommittal "hmm", then looked at Xu Jingchang and Jin Zhong again: "What do you guys think?"

Xu Jingchang and Jin Zhong looked at each other, and said in unison: "I think that fighting must be fought. As for who to send to fight, His Majesty Fu Wei will judge!"

Xu Jingchang was determined to go with Xia Xun. As for Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong was the commander of the guard in Tongzhou. When the King of Yan was in trouble, he joined the King of Yan and helped his son Zhu Gaochi guard Beiping. Views.

But none of them are stupid, Sui Shengjia has been around for so long, don't they know what the emperor is like?If everyone unanimously agrees with Duke Fu, Zhu Gaoxu will most likely be the leader of the army.For this matter, there had to be a close fight, so that the emperor felt that the choice was made by him, not by the courtiers.

Zhu Di hummed, turned over slightly, and lay on his back on the couch, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Everyone in the study didn't dare to make a sound anymore, they just waited quietly. After a long while, Zhu Di said: "You all retreat, I will think about it again. Yang Xu stays. It is rare for you to enter the palace. Chat with me chat!"

"Your servant waits to obey the order!" Everyone stood up one after another, saluted and retreated, Zhu Gaoxu hesitated to speak, turned around and walked to Xia Xun's side, then gave him a hard look, swung his sleeves heavily, and walked away.Xia Xun lightly brushed off the sleeves of his robe and smiled softly.

Wait until everyone retreats.Zhu Di called Xia Xun to sit down beside him, turned himself over and sat up, and asked solemnly, "Wenxuan, what do you think is the best strategy for me to take against Annan?"

Xia Xun said seriously: "I still think that we should support the puppets and rule the barbarians with the barbarians! Direct annexation, taking in and ruling them, the gains outweigh the losses!"

Zhu Di frowned slightly.Xia Xun asked: "The emperor's Northern Expedition forced Benya to lose his home, forced him to land at Arutai, and won a complete victory. Why didn't he take over the Saibei Grassland and set up counties, instead of supporting Arutai and treating him well? "

Zhu Di said: "Is there even a need to ask? Set up state officials on the prairie, and ask them to govern who? But Annan is not a prairie desert, in my opinion. If you want to compare, you can compare it with Liaodong." .”

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "Although there is no desert grassland in Annan, there are deep mountains and great swamps. From what I see, it is comparable to the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, not Liaodong."

He thought for a while quietly, and said: "Annan has been independent for nearly 500 years. And 500 years ago, it was also a time of rebellion and attachment, and there was never a moment of peace. When the Yuan Dynasty was rampant and invincible, it could only break its country repeatedly. If the Yuan Dynasty insisted on occupying Annan and stationed officials, would it be possible? Of course it could! But why didn’t it do so? Because the gains outweigh the losses! If it was my prosperous place in the Central Plains, would they be willing to give it up?

Your Majesty, what His Highness the King of Han said just now is correct, the people in Annan think they are wrong, and their hearts are not with the court!They often think about their old customs, and when they hear about thieves, they incite each other to attach themselves.Wherever the thieves and chieftains go, they often use supplies to hide, and the imperial court can't take root there!Emperor Taizu Gao said: 'Owning the land is not enough to supply, and getting the people is not enough to make orders'.

Now, His Majesty treats the people of Annan with grace, does not pay their taxes, does not levy their services, it is no longer a matter of insufficient supply or orders, but rather that they are not required to perform their duties as subjects at all. Flood disasters, the imperial court has to allocate countless rice grains to relieve the disaster.As a result, whenever they had the opportunity, they would still rebel. The emperor thought that everyone in the world was innocent, but they were a bunch of white-eyed wolves who couldn't get enough to eat! "

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "I am on the back of a tiger now, can I still retreat?"

Xia Xun said decisively: "No! If you retreat, you will lose your prestige. There is only one battle!"

Zhu Di was silent.

Xia Xun pondered for a long time, racking his brains to think about some policies of future generations, to see if there are any slight changes that can be used. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, right now, we must fight. We can follow It depends on the development and changes of the war situation. If it can be suppressed, the system of prefectures and counties can be implemented. After three and five generations, they can be educated.

If it is not available, when the time is right, choose a person in Annan, designate him as king, and rule over his land. The official system should follow the system of our Ming Dynasty, but the appointment and removal of officials is at his own discretion, and the local government should take care of its own affairs. Disaster Fuxiu, your majesty can take care of it if he wants to. If he doesn't want to take care of it, it's their own business, so as not to increase the burden on me, Daming.In the future, if the current situation can develop in a direction that is beneficial to my Ming Dynasty, and then follow the trend, wouldn't it be more effective than now. "

Xia Xun doesn't know if anyone has come up with a more appropriate solution. This is the solution he came up with for the current situation: fight first, conquer it if you can conquer it, and take a step back if you can't conquer it, and make him king of the land , self-administering its land, half-independence and half-unification, local autonomy, but this king is not the king of the country, but the vassal king, similar to the vassals of the Zhou Dynasty.

This level of control will not arouse their strong backlash, because except for one name, they are governing everything else by themselves.The right is their own, and the obligation is also their own. In this case, if they do the wrong thing, the loss outweighs the gain. As long as they are not too stupid, they can understand this account.

And Daming is still their monarch. Compared with the original history, the war that lasted for more than 20 years cost countless lives and emptied the treasury of Daming. Finally, they were forced to sign the "Union under the City", and the alliance under the city was signed After that, before the announcement was made, it was much stronger to withdraw the troops decently, and the entire Jiaozhi had been taken back by force.

At the same time, the key point of this plan is that in terms of law, it is not an independent country, but a domain of Ming Dynasty, and the initiative is in the hands of Ming Dynasty, and this is precisely the point that the current Annan ruler does not care much about. Then when the time is right in the future.To accept its land as the inner county.Totally reasonable and legal.Or at that time, the Ming Empire had come to an end, and the Central Plains Dynasty, which inherited its mantle, was still the legal master of Annan.

Zhu Di pondered for a long time before saying: "For the future, let's see how the current situation changes, and then make corresponding countermeasures! I have just recovered from my illness, and I am prone to fatigue. Now I have been thinking for a long time, and I am a little sleepy. You go back first, and I want to rest. ! Well, go back on my imperial chariot!"

Xia Xun was taken aback for a moment, riding the imperial chariot?This is a great honor. Only the emperor's teacher or old Dezhao's old ministers occasionally enjoy this kind of treatment. In the era of feudal ethics, monarchs, ministers and fathers and sons, this is a grand event that can be written into the history books. How dare Xia Xun agree to it? Xun resigned: "The emperor Long En. The minister is terrified! The minister who came on horseback will return on horseback!"

Zhu Di smiled and said: "You have made great contributions to the court, but I can't reward you. I deeply regret it. Don't you want me to show my heart?"

Timur was assassinated by Duke Fu of the Ming Dynasty. This matter is definitely a secret among secrets. It is more important than the important files that can only be authorized to be declassified after 50 or 100 years. As long as the Timur Empire survives, this The secret will never be made public, so Xia Xun made such a feat.There is really no reward.Although rewards cannot be rewarded, Zhu Di obviously expressed his gratitude to Xia Xun by doing so.

Under the feudal ethics of monarch and minister, father and son, ministers should do everything for the king, even if they replace the king with their own bodies and die for the master, it is justified.Zhu Di being able to do this is an extremely rare thing.Xia Xun hesitated for a moment, so he bowed and said, "This is a gift from the king, and I am ashamed to accept it!"

Leaving the imperial road in the extremely stable imperial chariot, and turning into the alley under the plane trees, the light casts colorful shadows through the leaves, and the curtains are sometimes bright and sometimes dark, like dyed flowers.Xia Xun leaned against the wall of the car, lost in thought.

Right now, Annan's situation is just as he expected. Daming is stuck in the mud, and he can't pull out his muddy feet.He is not God, he cannot take care of everything, and he cannot let everything in the world develop according to his wishes. Right now, he can only do his best to deal with the aftermath and try to avoid the situation that hundreds of thousands of troops in Annan lasted for decades in history. The war caused great and irreparable losses to Ming Dynasty.

As for the future, try to pave the way now and leave a foreshadowing. If the children and grandchildren live up to it, they will naturally get it back when the time is right.If the children and grandchildren do not live up to expectations, even the current family business will be wiped out by them. Even if the ancestor is tired and vomits blood, how much will he earn for him? Isn't it for others to make wedding dresses?

The car passed through a puddle. Although the car was built by a famous craftsman and the horse and hands were well-trained, the car still bumped a bit. It knocked Xia Xun, who was resting on his head and meditating, and Xia Xun gently rubbed his forehead. The development of history is very similar to the car I was riding in.

People are rulers, horses are institutions, and carts are productivity.If the rulers of an era and those big figures who can influence the direction of the government can become an excellent driver, under the same historical conditions, this car can go faster and more stably than others.But this can't last long, and the government dies with the people.If you want to go far, you still have to rely on that horse.

The fundamental system and direction of the country is the horse. If the system is wrong and rotten, when it is time to change it, no matter how good the steward is, it will not help.And this car is the material condition under the historical objective conditions. No matter how good the driver is and how handsome the horses are, the car will have its limit. If you make a great leap forward, the car will fall apart.

Just like Zhu Di defeated the Tatars and chose to support Arutai as the lord of the Tatars to sing against the Wala, if Daming now has the range of weapons of his era, the conditions of transportation, and the convenience of communication facilities... Do I need to do this?Zhu Di can directly rule the territory of Tatar, and it is the same for Annan. You have to think about how much this car can carry and how fast it can run!

Xia Xun took a long breath, put aside the bad problems that only future people like him would struggle with, and began to seriously think about the current predicament. Without the present, there is no future: "I must think about this matter." There is no way to stop it, and the king of Han must not be in charge! This carp is only missing the dragon gate, let him jump over it, and he will be the second king of Yan!"
