Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 512
Because of this, Ma Wu was surprised when Li Jing asked him to reward Luo Yangxing with a hundred acres of land.

However, Ma Wu immediately understood that Li Jing asked him to reward Luo Yangxing for another purpose, which was to conquer people's hearts.

Luo Yangxing was the former commander of Jinyiwei, and Ma Wu's background was far different from Luo Yangxing's. He used to be inferior to Luo Yangxing before. When the two met, Luo Yangxing naturally had a sense of superiority.

After Luo Yangxing became Ma Wu's subordinate, the reason why he bowed his head and did not dare to disobey was because Li Jing was standing behind Ma Wu. Everyone knew that Ma Wu was Li Jing's diehard loyalist, and Li Jing was very strange to Ma Wu. trust.

But as the supervisor of a special department, Ma Wu can't always rely on Li Jing to help him suppress the situation, he has to convince the people below by himself.

To convince the people below, one is to use an iron fist to make the people below fear, and the second is to show favor to the people below, so that the people below are grateful.The combination of grace and power is the best way.

With Li Jing around, no one dares to challenge Ma Wu, no matter how strong his wrist is, the rest is how to buy people's hearts. It is for this purpose that Ma Wu wants to reward Luo Yangxing with the restaurant that Li Jing gave him.

However, using his own personal property rewards is far less than helping Luo Yangxing to win official meritorious service rewards, so that Ma Wu's strength can be shown.Li Jing mentioned Ma Wu to let Ma Wu understand the gap between these two points.

Seeing that Ma Wu quickly understood what he meant, Li Jing nodded with a smile, then opened the information Ma Wu sent and read it seriously.

Huang Zongxi, courtesy name Taichong, was born in Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.

Huang Zunsu, Huang Zongxi's father, was a Jinshi in the Wanli Year, a Zhongguan Yushi in the Tianqi Year, a member of the Donglin Party, and made friends with Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others. He died in imperial prison for impeaching Wei Zhongxian, one of the Donglin Seven Gentlemen.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, Huang Zongxi went to Beijing to investigate and prosecute the eunuch party, and went to Beijing to sue for grievances. Shangshu asked Cao Qincheng and Li Shi to kill the eunuch party, and testified in court.When confronting Xu Xianchun, Cui Yingyuan and others in court, he concealed the awl, stabbed Xu Xianchun with the awl in court, and beat Cui Yingyuan.Later, he hunted down the prisoner who killed his father.Known as "Yaojiang Huang Xiaozi", Zhu Youjian lamented that he was "the only son of a loyal minister".

After redressing his father's grievances, Huang Zongxi returned to his hometown and began to study vigorously. Later, he studied under Liu Zongzhou and won Jishan (these two are philosophers).

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Pu held the Jinling Conference in Nanjing. Huang Zongxi happened to be at the meeting. Later, he was introduced by his friend Zhou Bi to join the Fushe and became an active figure in the society.

In the same year, Huang Zongxi also joined the Poetry Club founded by He Qiaoyuan. Later, Huang Zongxi, Want Tai, Lu Fu, his younger brothers Huang Zongyan, Huang Zonghui and others established Lizhou Fushe in his hometown Yuyao.

After reading Huang Zongxi's information, Li Jing frowned. From this information, it is really impossible to see Huang Zongxi's ability. He is only a descendant of the Donglin Party and a member of the Fushe.

However, Luo Yangxing's subordinates couldn't read a few words. People like Huang Zongxi didn't know what they meant when they heard what they said. As for asking them to record it, it was a bit reluctant.

Shaking his head, Li Jing put Huang Zongxi's information aside, and picked up Fang Yizhi's information to read.

Fang Yizhi, courtesy name Mizhi, was born in Tongcheng County, Anqing Prefecture, and was born in the year of Xinhai (39th year of Wanli).

Fang Yizhi was born in a family in Tongcheng, and his grandfather Fang Dazhen served as the Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple during the Wanli period.

His father, Fang Kongzhang, whose style name is Qianfu, was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He used to be the magistrate of Jiading Prefecture, and later transferred to the magistrate of Funing Prefecture, the head of the Ministry of War.In the year of Tianqi, he worked as a doctor in Fangsi, but was dismissed from office because of his disobedience to Wei Zhongxian.After Chongzhen came to the throne, he was reinstated and promoted to Shangbao Siqing. Fang Dazhen passed away the next year and returned home to guard the system.After the mourning period expired, he returned to Beijing to resume his post. Soon he was promoted to the imperial censor of Qiandu, and then the governor of Huguang.

Fang Yizhi was brought up by his mother and aunt when he was young. Aunt Fang Weiyi was quite talented and a famous poetess at that time.

When Fang Yizhi was 14 years old, he had walked hundreds of miles to participate in the examination to hone his will.

When he was an adult, Fang Yizhi traveled extensively in Jianghuai, Wuyue and other places, visiting great book collectors and reading extensively.

Fang Yizhi likes to travel around and make friends with schoolmates. He has friendship with missionaries Bi Francis, Tang Ruowang and others, and learns Western knowledge from Tang Ruowang and others.

He once formed an alliance with Zhang Pu, Chen Zilong, Wu Weiye, Chen Zhenhui, Wu Yingji, Hou Fangyu and others to restore the society.In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Tongcheng civil uprising, moved to Nanjing, and got acquainted with Huang Zongxi and others.Together with Maoxiang, Hou Fangyu, and Chen Zhenhui, they are called the Four Young Masters.

Gently closing the documents, Li Jing shook his head lightly. Based on these documents alone, it is impossible to tell what talents these two people have.However, Fang Yizhi actually walked hundreds of miles to participate in the examination when he was 14 years old. This perseverance is very admirable.In addition, this person is familiar with Tang Ruowang and has learned western knowledge, so it seems that he is not a pedantic person.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing said: "Bring these two people, I will meet them when I come back from Fujian."

Ma Wu smiled and said, "I don't know where that Huang Zongxi is now, but this Fang Yizhi is now in the capital."

"Oh? In the capital? Where is it?" Li Jingqi asked.

"Sometimes in the Imperial College, sometimes in the Academy of Sciences, and sometimes in the poetry club in the capital." Ma Wu laughed.

Li Jing was amazed when he heard the words: "It's understandable for him to go to the Imperial College and the Poetry Club, but what is he going to the Academy of Sciences for?"

"This brother doesn't know very well. The people in the Academy of Sciences are all the big brother's darlings. How dare the brothers investigate casually?" Ma Wu shook his head and said.

Li Jingwen smiled and expressed his approval to Ma Wuyi, then turned to Xiao Jiu and said, "Send someone to invite Fang Yizhi."

"Yes!" Xiao Jiu replied, then walked out of the yard, called a few guards, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

When Xiao Jiu went out, Ma Wu said, "Brother seems to value these two people very much!"

Li Jing shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, I'll talk about it after we meet.

Ma Wu nodded, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Jing, and then said, "Why did the eldest brother suddenly decide to go to Fujian? Can't Lao Sun, Er Leng and Sun Chuanting handle Zheng Zhilong's matter?"

Li Jing shook his head: "It's not that they can't handle it, it's that they don't know how to handle it. Zheng Zhilong has taken over the country and blocked our foreign trade channel. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. But it is definitely not possible to fight, our navy The strength is not yet Zheng Zhilong's opponent.

So what to do?Can only recruit security.

But recruiting security this time was not an easy task. Manlajia is thousands of nautical miles away from Guangdong, and it would take at least one and a half months to go back and forth. It would take another half a month for the news to reach Beijing, and two months later, The year has passed, and if the negotiation fails once, another trip will bring the spring of the next year.What if two trips are not enough?Then I don't know when it will be delayed.

Where can Daming afford it now?Therefore, I have to go in person to recruit security this time. Only by going in person can Zheng Zhilong's problem be resolved as quickly as possible. "

"Then how does the eldest brother plan to recruit Zheng Zhilong?" Ma Wu asked.

Li Jing smiled: "As long as Zheng Zhilong returns to the imperial court, I can agree to any conditions."

"Ah! Agree to any conditions? How much will it affect the prestige of the elder brother?" Ma Wu was surprised.

Li Jing smiled: "Actually, the matter is not as serious as you think. As long as Zheng Zhilong agrees to return to the imperial court, you will find that our Daming will have unexpected benefits. Compared with these benefits, my prestige is damaged. What, besides, my prestige may not be damaged."

"Any unexpected benefits? Besides being able to open up trade, are there other benefits?" Ma Wuqi asked.

Li Jing nodded with a smile: "You know, as long as Zheng Zhilong submits to the court, then the chess I made a mistake some time ago will become a master."

Ma Wu scratched his head, smiled wryly and said, "Brother, brother is stupid, please give me advice."

Li Jing smiled, dipped his fingers into the teacup, drew a simple map on the table, and said: "This is the Manga, and this is the Manga Strait. If you get stuck in this strait, then Xiyi The fleet would not be able to enter the waters of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would not be threatened by the Xiyi fleet ever since.

Now Zheng Zhilong's fleet occupies this place, as long as Zheng Zhilong returns to the imperial court, Manlajia will belong to Ming Dynasty. "

As Li Jing said, he opened his palm and swung it back vigorously: "At that time, all the sea area from Manjijia to Daming became the inland sea of ​​our Daming. Tell me, did I force Zheng Zhilong back a while ago? Is it a trick?" Wonderful good chess?"

Ma Wuyi slapped his thigh: "That's right! We forced Zheng Zhilong to occupy Manjijia. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, Manjijia became the territory of our Ming Dynasty. That big brother's wrong move before was indeed a coup. .”

Li Jing smiled and said: "Hehe, when Zheng Zhilong returns, I will send a large army to Manlajia and make Manlajia the frontier base of Ming Dynasty.

Then I asked Zheng Zhilong and Sun Chuanting to lead the fleet to drive away all the Western Yi in Luzon, Batavia and other places. By then, all the supplies in these places will belong to our Ming Dynasty. "

Speaking of this, Li Jing's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said coldly: "I want people in these places to become the slaves of Daming, and they will never turn over again."

Ma Wu was startled when he heard the words. Ma Wu had never seen Li Jing speak with such a vicious expression.

But I don't know that these places Li Jing mentioned, that is, the countries in Southeast Asia, have had countless anti-Chinese incidents in later generations, and countless Chinese were massacred by these countries.Li Jing did not say that it is already very polite to adopt a population extermination policy for these places.

After a while, Li Jing's expression gradually relaxed, and he said: "Because Manajia is so important, I must recruit Zheng Zhilong. In order to achieve this goal, I can agree to Zheng Zhilong no matter what the conditions are. Even if he wants to say King, I promise him."

Ma Wu pondered for a while and said: "Zheng Zhilong occupies Manlajia, I'm afraid he really has the ambition to be king."

Li Jing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as he gives up Manjijia, he can be king anywhere else he wants. Hehe, I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts."

"Brother didn't really promise Zheng Zhilong to be king?" Ma Wu said in surprise.

Li Jing waved his hand: "As long as Zheng Zhilong is not stupid, he will not make such a request."
