New Shun 1730

Tian Suo had really heard of Yi Shiha, but only in the past few years.

Those who are honorable are not careful and cautious, but look forward to making new achievements again, so they have to learn to figure out their intentions.

Now the emperor has the heart to open up new territories.

Although whether it is a heroic strategy or a militancy, we have to wait until the day when the coffin is sealed.

But since the emperor has the heart to open up new territories, Tian Suo, who is good at figuring out what is best for him, has also read more about old border affairs in recent years.

Nuerganzhe means "picture" in Jurchen language.

Among the white mountains and black waters, when autumn comes, the maple leaves are red, the oak leaves are yellow, the spring water is clear, and the mountain flowers are blue. Looking up from the height, the country is picturesque, and it has this name.

During the Yongle period, there were Zheng Sanbao in the south and Yi Shiha in the north. One of the two eunuchs was exploring Southeast Asia, and the other was managing the Northeast.

With his broken body, he has accomplished great things.

It's just that after Yongle, the Ming Dynasty shrank.

After Tumu Fortress, because Yi Shiha was a Jurchen, under stress, the imperial censor thought that his heart must be different if he was not from our race, and impeached Yi Shiha. In addition, Nuergandusi was abolished, and his name was rarely known to future generations.

Liu Yu mentioned the matter of Yishuha and the inscriptions of Yongning Temple. Tian Suo knew one thing but not the other, so he turned to look at his son Tian Ping.

Tian Ping is well-educated and has read a lot of miscellaneous books, but Tian Ping also shook his head: "I have heard of Yishiha's name. But I have never heard of the inscription on the Yongning Temple built at the mouth of Heilongjiang River. Where did Brother Shouchang read it? Arrived?"

Liu Yu thought to himself, I saw it in the previous life, but he laughed and said: "The books I read are miscellaneous and biased, and I forget them after reading them without asking for a deeper explanation. I also forgot which book I saw them in, but when I mentioned them When I was the governor of the capital, I thought about it."

There is indeed Yongning Temple, and there are indeed inscriptions on it, so it was called "Temple Street" during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and its temple was Yongning Temple.

Tian Suo felt like he had found a treasure, and he knew very well that this negotiation with the Rakshasa Kingdom would be delayed in the early stage, but it would definitely be formalized after the war.

As Liu Yu said, whether it is Rakshasa or Dashun, if a battle starts in Nuergandusi, it can only be two strong men holding goose feathers and tickling each other.

With only a few thousand soldiers at most, hundreds of thousands of miles of land have to be decided, and in the end they have to negotiate.

Only after the negotiations in the Northeast are over can we have free hands, and the two sides may even work together to attack Junggar.

But if you really want to talk about it, you have to have evidence. If there really is this Yongning Temple inscription, it would be really wonderful.

Although the "Unification of the Ming Dynasty" written in the Ming Dynasty during the reign of Ming Dynasty did not record the active dissolution of Nuergandusi, but from the vast and numerous books left by the previous dynasty, we can still get a glimpse of the full picture of Nuergandusi in its heyday.

Records can also be found on the approximate locations of the various guard posts in Nurgandu Division, which can be used as a basis for negotiations between the two parties.

Liu Yu felt like he had a clear mind. If he just relied on words this time, the situation would be extremely detrimental to Dashun.

Although there were only some Cossacks in the Rakshasa Kingdom to collect furs, some officers did come back from studying in France. They were good at geometric surveying and could draw maps.

Dashun is a little worse. The military government department is currently busy preparing for the battle between the Western French Party and the Conservative Party. No one has gone to those bitter and cold places to draw atlases before.

If they are just talking and talking, and the other side brings out a map, but the other side cannot bring out a map, the war will be very disadvantageous.

Fortunately, there is a former dynasty who can finally compete with him since ancient times, and it can be regarded as the legacy of Emperor Yongle.

Tian Suo wanted to know which book recorded this incident, so that his staff could read it and find out more useful information.

Liu Yu only claimed that he had really forgotten it, but this incident was absolutely true and left a deep impression on him.

The reason why he was so impressed was that Liu Yu said, "I thought that the previous Ming Dynasty was cowardly and trapped in the pass, but I never thought about it. There were slaves covering thousands of miles of land, so I was shocked and remembered it."

This reason sounds very reasonable, and Tian Suo believes it 100% and has no doubts. Compared with the bird-like appearance of the late Ming Dynasty, the weather during the Yongle period was indeed more serious, and it was impossible not to leave a deep impression.

"Shou Chang, write a booklet about these things when you go back. Especially about Rakshasa, Rumi, King of Russia's trespassing, etc., compile it into a book and introduce more about the customs of Xiyi. For one thing, missionaries may not be willing to talk about it; for two, I'm afraid these things are also taboo for them, so it's hard to talk about them; as for the three things... you also know that nowadays, there is a lot of suspicion about missionaries."

"If you are willing, I will send this pamphlet to His Majesty and sign it with your name, which can be regarded as being in the heart of the Emperor. If you are not willing, I can only deduce that it was done by someone else. You can decide for yourself what to do, but this little The booklet will be written as soon as possible, and it will be easy for me to use.”

Liu Yu naturally hoped that "Jian would be in the emperor's heart" and nodded: "I understand. I will write it as soon as possible these days. But... My lord, what is going on in Fujian? How did the missionaries come to Fujian?" Jiedushi? My father just warned me, but he didn’t make it clear.”

Thinking about Tian Ping's previous implicit mention of Fujian Jiedushi giving gifts to Duke Qi, and that Duke Qi was famous for "guessing his mind," Liu Yu wanted to know whether Duke Qi was behind the ban on religion in the court. ?

If Qi Guogong is the mastermind behind the ban on religion, I should follow up quickly...

Tian Suo didn't hide it and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal."

"The reason is this: There was a man named Lin in Fuqing County who had previously married a widow named Lin. When the man named Lin died, the widow's widow inherited the family business. This married woman was a Christian and belonged to the same clan. He was asked to pay to worship ancestors, but he said that he is a believer and doesn’t worship ancestors, so why should he pay to worship ancestors? "

“The clan said, if you don’t worship the ancestors, how can you inherit our Lin family’s property? The burden said, the property belongs to my stepfather, not the clan, why shouldn’t I inherit it?”

“You know, it’s a clan in Fujian. So, the clan took people to rob all his property, and the burden went to complain.”

“The county magistrate of Fuqing County is called Bai Yunhang, and he is also a jerk. He had been preparing to take the opportunity to make trouble, so that he could get promoted. In one of his operations, he sentenced the burden to return the property. The priests of Fuqing County led the believers to attack the county government to seek justice for their brothers, and he took action, killing and injuring several people. As a result, he was promoted to governor of a state.”

This governor of a state is not the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Xuande. The Dashun Tang Dynasty official positions are restored to the local flavor. The county magistrate is called the county magistrate, the prefect is called the governor of a state, and the prefect is restored to the prefect.

Bai Yunhang was a master at guessing his superiors' intentions. After some manipulation, he was promoted. He had a promising future.

Liu Yu also understood. In the final analysis, the economic base determines the superstructure. The key to solving the problem is still economic interests.

The clan is powerful and wants to eat up the extinct families; the extinct families join the Christian religion and fight together.

It is said to be a problem of faith, but in fact it is a property problem. However, this is a fuse, and what happens next may not just be a problem of economic interests.

As expected, Tian Suo continued, "Later, Bai Yunhang arrested the students who believed in Christianity in Fuqing County and took them to the Confucian Temple to worship. Christianity does not worship ancestors, nor does it allow idol worship, so of course they cannot worship Zhou Gong and Confucius."

"Those students shouted: Although they worship with their bodies, their hearts are not convinced! Some even "martyred for their religion." Bai Yunhang scolded them, saying that since you believe in Christianity and do not worship Zhou Gong and Confucius, why do you still want to be students? The believers said: Students have privileges and exemptions, this is life, not faith..."

"As a result, the entire Fuqing County was in chaos, and Fu'an County was also in chaos. Fujian was in big trouble. The special forces of the Roman Catholic Church were also in chaos. The envoy came to the court a few days ago and talked about etiquette again. "

Speaking of this, Tian Suo laughed and said, "It seems that Bai Yunhang made the right bet. This person is meticulous and good at guessing the thoughts of the superiors. I think this guy has a bright future. "

Liu Yu also laughed and said, "If he loses the bet, won't he be dismissed and investigated?"

"Yes, but he is just a small county magistrate. If he loses the bet, he loses. What is there to be afraid of? If he wins the bet, won't he be promoted to governor of the state and rise to prominence in the future? The promotion of county magistrate to governor of the state is a big hurdle. "

A few words reveal a lot of information, and there is no need to say too much.

Liu Yu also understood it.

This ban on religion is inevitable, otherwise the county magistrate named Bai Yunhang will not be promoted to governor of the state.

Bai Yunhang's promotion to governor of the state represents the court's inclination.

Thinking again, Liu Yu asked, "But if we break up with the missionaries, how will the Duke solve the problem of interpreters when he goes to negotiate with the Luosha Kingdom's envoys?"

"How will it be solved? We certainly can't use Westerners. There are people in the court who are proficient in Latin. Once this happens, there will definitely be a group of people who will leave the faith within this month. Your Majesty, you want to see how many people in the court are willing to die for their faith. There is no shortage of people, but when it comes to understanding the Western Yi countries, they are far behind you. There is no need to worry about the interpreters. Even if they do Interpretation is fine, but knowing the details of the Western Yi countries is absolutely impossible. That's why I'm looking for you. "

After saying that, Tian Suo sorted out the scrolls on the table and reminded: "Write down the details of the Western countries as soon as possible. Since Ping'er invited you to have a drink today, it's not good to let you go back in vain, which would make it seem that the Duke of Qi's mansion can't even afford a meal. You two go now, the inner kitchen has already prepared wine and food. "

Liu Yu and Tian Ping bowed and went to have a drink.

There was no singing girl, and the two of them drank with the Western Yi stories, which was quite delicious.

Unconsciously, they drank a little too much, and they didn't know if they said something they shouldn't say.

When they went back, Tian Ping had asked someone to prepare some fresh crabs, and asked the inner kitchen to make some dishes that Liu Yu had picked up a few more chopsticks on the table, and sent them to the Duke of Yi's mansion.

Before getting on the car, he actually packed a few large honey pomelo from Fujian, which is the so-called fruit hero Pinghepao. Patting the honey pomelo, Tian Ping helped the drunk Liu Yu get on the car and said with a smile: "Brother Shouchang, you have also understood what happened today."

"Someone needs to listen to all the things you said about the Western Barbarians and the Rakshasa Kingdom. This matter is confidential and cannot be used by ordinary people. Father has to let me follow you, learn more and ask more questions, and then explain it clearly when I come back. It's not good to invite you every day."

Since Tian Suo asked Tian Ping to follow him today, Liu Yu certainly understood what Tian Suo meant.

These things cannot be explained in one day, especially how to hit the other party's pain point during negotiations, which requires a lot of understanding.

This kind of confidential matter must not be asked to others.

Tian Suo certainly trusts his son. In the future, Tian Ping will follow Liu Yu and write down everything he wants to ask to avoid mistakes.

Liu Yu snapped his fingers and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. How dare I neglect such an important matter? No need to see you off, brother. I'm going back now. It's getting late. See you tomorrow."
