Mingshi

Chapter 1345 Disputes
Therefore, Luo Xin needs a victory. Only a big victory can completely remove the last trace of fear in the hearts of soldiers.

And a big victory is not far away. According to scout reports, they will reach the first cottage in one day.As long as the first stronghold is destroyed, the last trace of fear in the hearts of soldiers will be removed.

Beijing.

Emperor Jiajing looked at the letter in his hand, it was given to him by Luo Xin.Emperor Jiajing's heart was filled with anger, and the mountain people actually beheaded Daming's messenger and sent his head back.

This is simply a naked humiliation to Daming, and a naked humiliation to Emperor Jiajing.

"Let's take a look." Emperor Jiajing put the letter on the imperial book case.Huang Jin walked over, picked up the letter, and handed it to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong got together and began to read Luo Xin's letter.

At this time, Zhang Xun, a doctor in the official department, was also reading Luo Xin's letter. After he finished reading the letter, he put the letter away, got up and left the office room, and walked towards the door.

"Master Zhang, where are you going?" An official sitting across from him asked with a smile, and Zhang Xun said as usual, "Go and relieve yourself."

The person opposite, Zhang Xun knew very well that he belonged to Xu Jie, so he just dealt with it, then turned and walked out.The person sitting opposite Zhang Xun thought for a while, stood up, walked outside the door, stretched out his hand to summon a scribe and asked:
"Where did you send the letter to Zhang Xun just now?"

"I don't know." The scribe shook his head and said, "It was sent by Mr. Zhang's family."

"Well, you go."

The official stood outside the door thinking for a moment, then shook his head and returned to the room.Since it was a letter from Zhang Xun's family, he had no way of knowing the source of the letter, and it was likely to be a letter from Zhang Xun's hometown, so he put this matter aside and didn't take it to heart.

And Zhang Xun was instructing his book boy on this matter: "You go back to the mansion now, go to the study room and take my greeting card to see Liu Wenxiu from the Ministry of War, and tell him that I will treat guests at Taibai Building tonight, and ask him to notify others. He knows who to call."

And this matter was in a family in Maosheng Hutong, Wang Cuiqiao was also reading the letter sent by Luo Xin.After putting down the letter, Wei Wei lowered his eyes and thought for a moment:

"Come on!"

"Miss!" A woman walked in.

"Let Wu Kui come to see me."

"Yes!"

Royal Palace.

After reading the letter, Xu Jie suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, no."

"Why not?" Emperor Jiajing's voice was flat, without any emotion.

"Luo Xin wants to massacre the Eighteen Villages, this is not the act of a benevolent gentleman."

"Could it be that I just watched those mountain people and rebels kill my Ming soldiers and humiliate me, the Emperor of Ming?"

"Your Majesty, those mountain people were only bewitched by the rebels. They are also His Majesty's people. As long as they are educated properly, they will become peaceful and good citizens."

"Are you going to educate?" Emperor Jiajing said coldly.

Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Majesty needs me to educate you, I will do my best."

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes, and Gao Gong's expression changed. He couldn't accept the result that Luo Xin wanted to slaughter the Eighteen Villages, so he said:

"Your Majesty, the letter said that Luo Xin has led troops into the old forest, and His Majesty must quickly order him to withdraw."

"........."

Two people, you talk to each other, and they keep talking to Emperor Jiajing.On this point, including Xu Jie, they really have no selfishness.Although Xu Jie also has in his mind that after stopping Luo Xin, Jiangxi and Guangdong will become a quagmire, drag Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian there, and then he can put countless crimes on them, and clean up Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian together .

However, more is his philosophy since he was a child, and that is to educate!
Not to mention that the mountain people only killed 12 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, how much more than 12 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed in the northern grasslands?Accumulated over the years, there are millions of them.

not to mention……

Daming people killed in the northern grasslands!
That's nearly ten million people.

Isn't Confucianism still clamoring for enlightenment?
Therefore, in this matter, most of them are their ideas and have nothing to do with selfishness.

Emperor Jiajing listened to the chatter of Gao Gong and Xu Jie, his expression did not change at all.It's just that the eyes are a little gloomy.

Emperor Jiajing was not a believer in Confucianism. It can be seen from his practice that he was a believer in Taoism, which was not related to Confucianism.I only support Confucianism because I feel that Confucianism is good for the emperor to control the country.

In fact, no matter what family, as long as it threatens the old Zhu's family, the people of the old Zhu's family will not believe in anything, and they will believe in anything that is good for the old Zhu's family.It's not good for Lao Zhu's family, so just throw it away like a pair of shoes.

He was very touched at this time, the content of Luo Xin's letter, as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he could fully understand it after reading it once.

First of all, Luo Xin's idea is very firm.

If you want to keep Jiangxi and Guangdong stable, it is not enough to just appease and educate.It is necessary to show the majesty of the imperial court in front of these mountain people, that is, to beat them painfully, to impress them deeply, and to make them fear the imperial court.

However, just relying on fighting will not lead to long-term peace and stability. On the contrary, more and more fighting will occur, leaving the Ming army in a deep quagmire.Therefore, after beating the mountain people, it is to appease and educate.

That is to say, pay equal attention to grace and power!
The plan was originally nothing.Emperor Jiajing would agree, and Xu Jie and Gao Gong in the cabinet would not object.

However, Luo Xin's plan this time is very special. He wants to slaughter nearly 30 mountain people in the Eighteen Villages.In the eyes of Xu Jie and Gao Gong in the cabinet, this is simply a demon.

Hit, yes, but not slaughter.

No matter what the reason is, it cannot be slaughtered. Once the head is opened, if this is the case in the future, and the government and the opposition will accept this point of view in the future, where will there be a place for Confucianism?

This is the fundamental dispute of Taoism!
However, Emperor Jiajing's position was different from that of the cabinet. As the saying goes, the head determines the head.For the sake of the old Zhu's family, not to mention the mountain people, even the Confucianists can be killed, and the old Zhu's family has also killed many Confucianists.

The mountain people killed 12 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangxi and Guangdong. If they did not slaughter them once, they would not be able to make them realize the majesty of the imperial court, and they would not be able to make them fear the imperial court. ...

Pedagogical fart!

What touched Emperor Jiajing was that he had already seen from the letter that Luo Xin wanted to bear the charge of massacre by himself, and completely remove him as the emperor.In this way, the chaos in Jiangxi and Guangdong has subsided, and the name of Luo Xin's army god may become an army demon.And he, the emperor, will not suffer any loss of reputation.
