"...kill Dong Hu on the spot, Gong Nan; two days later, Chang Bald will be captured alive; and three days later, he will be executed."
"Only Chaha Lai and Meng Anjie saw that the situation was not good and they immediately surrendered to the capital. I and the Ministry of War warned them in advance. Governor Qi did not conflict with them and immediately withdrew his troops."
As Zhu Yijun spoke, he handed the memorial in his hand to Zhang Hong and asked him to take it and circulate it.
The memorial is naturally Qi Jiguang's battle report.
The result is quite satisfactory.
The main target this time, Dong Hu, who frequently caused trouble, was beheaded first.
Four of the five sons died, and they were also involved in an arch disaster.
As for his younger brother who was bald, it was the same as in history. After falling into a disadvantage, he directly bowed his head and tied his neck, and was captured alive by Qi Jiguang.
The only fly in the ointment is that the remnants of Dong Huxu were gathered up by his fifth son Meng Angui, and they joined Qingbaduer together with Chahalai.
There are three ten thousand households on the right wing of Mongolia, Ordos, Tumote, and Yongshebu.
Qingbadu'er is the lord of Karaqin, and actually controls the Yongxiebu Ten Thousand Households. Within Mongolia, he is one of the top five most powerful people - there are only sixty thousand households in Mongolia, and Uliangha Ten Thousand Households have experienced this.
, and was completely eaten up.
Characters like Qingba Du'er are different from Duoyan Wei's other minor characters.
This person intervened, and Qi Jiguang had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
The rest of the hand and tail will naturally be handled by the center.
Right now, the emperor, the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and the Beijing camp are holding a small meeting on this matter.
In the Chengguang Hall, Zhu Yijun was sitting on the throne.
Wang Chonggu's buttocks were covered with a short buttock, while Shi Maohua of the Ministry of War and Gu Huan, the governor of the capital camp, stood in the main hall with their hands tied.
When Shi Maohua arrived, he had already seen the memorial from the Ministry of War in the duty room. At this time, he directly spoke first: "Your Majesty, the King of Shunyi has already submitted a memorial to explain the reason for the Qing Dynasty to gather Duoyan and defeat the army, and I sincerely ask the imperial court for permission."
Zhu Yijun laughed and shook his head: "I'll report it after the matter is done. It's not a request, it's just a conveyance."
Shi Maohua quickly defended: "Your Majesty, I know that Qingbadu'er agreed to help Hu Shouren this time with the intention of getting a share of the pie. This is a tacit understanding with us."
Some words cannot be written in official documents.
If there is no benefit from sharing Dong Hu's tribe, why should the Mongolian right wing sit back and watch?
The emperor's eyes cannot only focus on flaws. No matter what, the results of this battle are beyond doubt.
Wang Chonggu, as the official in the north, had no choice but to explain the whole story at this time: "Your Majesty, when the Duoyanwei clan took the palace and house of Uglenhadun and demoted it to Arabatu (payer of tribute) with the dignity of ten thousand households, King Shunyi
So he took several of Yingke's brothers and their tribes as his own, and the Yingke tribe, which was in danger and only nominally attached to it, was given to Lao Badu'er."
"These old people can only collect the annual tribute in Duoyanwei, but they cannot actually control it."
"Now that the Duoyan Guards are being punished by the power of heaven, it is justifiable for Qing to gather Du'er and defeat the troops. Such is the origin, even Anda Khan cannot stop it."
"If we insist on getting to the bottom of it, I'm afraid it will damage the relationship between the two parties."
Wang Chong said it euphemistically in ancient times, but the relationship between the two parties refers not only to Amada Khan and Qingbadu'er, but also to the imperial court and Amada Khan - without the corresponding strength, don't play with the temper of the Celestial Empire.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun did not express his position directly, but looked at Gu Huan again.
When Gu Huan saw the emperor, he considered it for a moment and said what he saw from his perspective: "Your Majesty, just as Mr. Wangge and Da Sima said, even Qingbadu'er had to do his own thing in this matter, regardless of the tacit understanding between the imperial court and King Shunyi.
, nor should we delve into it."
"Qingbadu'er belongs to a large number of married Han women, especially those who live near Bansheng. Their customs are blended and trade is close. They are the most friendly with our dynasty. They are several times better than his younger brothers who often plunder our dynasty.
more than."
"However, after the death of Lao Badu'er, Qingba Du'er has been careless with his younger brother. There has been constant friction in Manwusou and Manwuda, and the tribe has not been completely reunited to this day."
"If my father rashly scolds me for this trivial matter, things could easily happen."
What the governor of the capital camp meant was that the situation with the captives was complicated and they should be surrendered as soon as possible. As for the remnants of the Duoyan Guards, it was of no consequence.
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he finally nodded slowly: "In that case, I will send a message to King Shunyi and fulfill Qingbang Du'er's wishes."
The emperor expressed his stance, and the people who just spoke naturally didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"I accept the decree."
Wang Chonggu even spoke in praise: "In the fifth year of Longqing, Yuanfu and Ding'anbo once reported to the late emperor, saying that the Mongolian left wing was troubled by Yiyi, and the right wing was troubled by Bansheng. If these two troubles are not eliminated, our dynasty will never be able to rest in peace.
.”
"When I paid tribute, I promoted Zhao Quanming to the canon and punished him; now I use troops to attack Dong Hu, and the left wing is wiped out."
"The two dynasties fought bravely, and the temple was ready to attack the army. The north can finally rest in peace for a few years."
Zhu Yijun glanced at Wang Chonggu.
He knew exactly what he was thinking about this guy.
Whether he was excusing Qingba Du'er just now or what he said now, he was all trying to justify his merits.
Isn’t the so-called pacification of the two troubles the result of Wang Chonggu’s decision-making?
Because of this, it is enough to listen to the words. If you really want to believe in some northern high pillow, then Zhu Yijun will be no different from his ancestors in the previous dynasties.
Not to mention that the so-called "two troubles" were just the military advisers on the left and right wings, the vanguard and the like, and the scabies disease. The Tatar army's power had not been damaged at all.
Even if Tuman Khan has lost his tentacles and will not be able to force his headquarters to invade the border in the short term, it is impossible to rest easy.
Contradictions are constantly transforming.
Before I paid tribute, the border passes were certainly plundered by them.
However, after the tribute was issued, "the border defenses were greatly expanded, and all the military pay went into the commander's pocket. In addition to the bandits, some were left behind in the capital. The soldiers near the border were barren and had no physiology anymore, and the population was increasing day by day, and they were tough and scoundrels."
, those who discuss it are worried about it.”
Even those who are promoted dare to become tough and rogue.
It can be seen that continuous favor does not guarantee that the right wing will always be submissive. After recuperating, it is not impossible that ambitions will expand along with the power.
The Mongolian right wing is like this, and the left wing is even more difficult to describe.
Although the three guards of Duoyan did not kneel down so quickly in history, at least they all surrendered around the 20th year of Wanli - Dong Hu was defeated by Li Chengliang, Chang Tu was captured alive by Qi Jiguang, and Chang'ang was divided up by the Ming Dynasty and Tuman Khan.
However, the weakness of Wuliangha's ten thousand households was followed by the annexation of the Jurchens in the pastoral areas, which revived the situation.
This is how the world will be lost.
The decline of your opponent does not mean that you are thriving.
There will eventually be new opponents.
In the final analysis, practicing internal strength well is the last word.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and got back to business, and told Shi Maohua: "The Ministry of War should not delay the matter of rewards based on merit and draw it up as soon as possible."
It's not that he, the emperor, is impatient.
But according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no reward for merit, if thousands of people don't gather in the school grounds to ask for it, will it be fruitful?
Shi Maohua quickly accepted the order.
Wang Chonggu immediately took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, I have already drawn up the terms of trade with Duoyanwei. The site should be eighty miles north of Xifengkou, in the Kuanhe area (today's Kuancheng, Hebei Province).
county)."
After saying this, he took out the memorial from his sleeve and asked the chamberlain to present it.
Zhu Yijun took it and read it carefully.
There is no problem with the location selection, but this area is still a controversial area.
It originally belonged to Kuanhe Guards Qianhu Station, but after Daning Dusi abandoned it, it now actually belongs to the pastoral area of ​​Duoyan Sanwei.
It also lists some details about other mutual markets, types of transactions, trading times, etc.
The mutual market with Xuanda is quite different.
After Zhu Yijun read it once, he closed it and put it aside: "Wang Qing, why is the time for mutual trading at the turn of spring and summer?"
The time of trading with Anda Khan is uncertain - Anda Khan will only make an appointment if he wants it.
But Duo Yanwei obviously does not have the qualifications, so the initiative naturally rests with the imperial court, and the decision will be made at any time.
Wang Chonggu always answered questions: "Your Majesty, in the late autumn the horses are getting fat, and the time for ministers to trade with each other is set at the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The horses will become thinner if they are captured, and they will not dare to gallop deep."
"To put it bluntly, even if there is a change at that time, the strong infantry at the pass can defeat the weak troops and thin horses. This is to nip the problem in the bud."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he secretly thought professionally.
However, since he asked this question, he naturally had other opinions.
He cast an inquiring look at Wang Chonggu: "Since we are trying to prevent problems before they happen, there must be other methods. I would like to ask Wang Ge if this mutual market can be established permanently, can it be opened?"
Wang Chonggu was startled and somewhat confused.
But he still responded to the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, of course it is possible to open a permanent one, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to just set up a market. It will take a while to build a small city."
Although thieves often disguised themselves and gathered to plunder the Xuanda Mutual Market, this was because its location was chosen to reassure Anda Khan and was far away from Xuanda, so that it was beyond the reach of the whip.
But Duoyanwei is different.
Since they have been defeated, they naturally have no initiative. Even if the mutual market is located only eighty miles away from Xifengkou, it is just a matter decided here.
On the contrary, the impact of robbery on mutual markets is naturally within the controllable range.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Kuanhe belongs to the Haihe River Basin and leaves Bohai via the Luanhe River. If mutual trade is opened, both bulk supplies and personnel exchanges will be much more convenient than Xuanda."
"In this case, why not make the mutual market bigger?"
“While guarding Duo Yan’s guard, it can also prosper the people at the borders of the North.”
Zhu Yijun has a profound meaning.
Now that the hot war is over, how can we not keep up with the follow-up financial war?
Wang Chonggu, who had the highest official position among businessmen in the world and the highest business among officials, seemed to have some insights after hearing the emperor's words.
He seemed to have put on a business-minded expression, frowned and nodded his chin, and began to think deeply.
Seeing this, Gu Huan on the side interrupted hesitantly: "Your Majesty, in this way... I might be suspected of being an aggressor and scheming the enemy."
The scale of the Xuanda Mutual Market could only allow three thousand households of nobles to live a good life, while the slaves could only eat soup and starve to death.
If the scale is further expanded, there will inevitably be concerns about raising tigers.
Zhu Yijun shook his head: "Gu Qing is worrying too much and is talking about business."
I replied that Khan had strong soldiers and generals, and if he sincerely asked for pot and cloth, the court would have to agree even if he suffered a loss.
But Zhu Yijun would not make a loss-making transaction with Duoyanwei.
Wang Chonggu thought for a long time and finally responded: "Your Majesty, maybe you can follow the example of Bansheng, where Han and Yi people live together and open up the market for trade."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly applauded: "Wang Qing has such insight!"
"Since Duoyan Sanwei has spread its branches everywhere, wouldn't it be a good time to manage this matter from the center?"
It is read as "spreading branches and leaves" and written as "three parties sharing food".
But this is not important. What is important is that Wang Chonggu's proposal was very good. In addition to fighting an economic war, it also gave Zhu Yijun a warning.
We can use this to cultivate some leading parties and promote national integration. Wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?
As the highland of East Asian culture, how can we not export something?
Great unification is not just about force and economy. Cultural unification is also an indispensable part.
Who says Mongolians can't be admitted to the imperial examination - of course, Zhu Yijun will only consider rewarding the tribes after a complete liquidation, let alone extra points.
Seeing that the emperor reacted fiercely and agreed quickly, Shi Maohua and Gu Huan, who couldn't say anything, couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what the excitement was about.
Although Wang Chonggu proposed it, he still expressed his position cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is better to discuss it in court."
"This move involves discussing commercial taxes on the Kuanhe mutual trade. The collection of taxes must be reviewed by the Ministry of Household Affairs; in order to absorb the mixed living of Han and foreigners, the fleeing Han people must be granted leniency at the discretion of the Three Law Departments; in addition, how can the border troops prepare for it?
Whether to set up a thousand-household office and how to educate the Mongolians..."
"This matter involves many departments and requires brainstorming."
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry at all, but was very satisfied with Wang Chonggu's serious appearance.
He nodded in approval: "These matters really need to be fully discussed. I will discuss Mr. Wangge's intention with the Chang Dynasty later."
"By the way, let's just ask Hu Shouren to escort Chang Ang and his disciples to Beijing immediately to discuss it together."
Duoyanwei is not only a trading party in the mutual market, but also serves as an external channel for the Kuanhe Free Trade Zone.
Since he plays an important role, Chang Ang must be allowed to deeply understand the spirit of the meeting - it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it. If Chang Ang has many sons, there will always be some who are willing to understand.
Wang Chonggu quickly saluted and responded: "Your majesty is wise and wise!"
Then the four of them discussed other matters.
For example, you can appease Tuman Khan a little, and at the same time strengthen your defenses to prevent him from becoming angry and ignoring the overall situation.
Another example is writing to thousands of households in Inner Khalkha who occupied Taining and Fuyu, explaining the whole story, and the attachments will not be changed.
After all the discussions were over, it was already noon.
Wang Chonggu and others stood up and left.
The emperor asked the three of them to stay for lunch together. Wang Chonggu and Shi Maohua declined politely because of their official duties. Gu Huan wanted to stay, but when he saw this, he had no choice but to leave.
Seeing that the emperor and his ministers were having trouble eating together, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but curled his lips.
Feeling bored, he had to pack up and go back to Wanshou Palace for dinner.
When we walked out of Chengguang Hall, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky.
After the beginning of summer, there is already a hint of inflammation.
A group of people walked on the royal road.
"My eldest companion, have you drawn up the rules for selecting your concubine?"
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Yijun casually asked about things that needed his attention recently.
Naturally, it was not the emperor's turn to intervene in the selection of concubines.
The age, scope, and procedures were all drawn up by the Ministry of Rites and the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and were reviewed and decided by the two palaces. The emperor did not even have the right to know.
However, rules are just rules.
When Zhang Hong heard this, he didn't hesitate at all and blurted out: "The words to reply to Long Live Lord have been drawn up."
"In advance, ladies from all over the world who are between the ages of 13 and 16 will be selected. The officials will hire them with silver coins and their parents will give them to them. Five thousand people will be gathered in the capital to select them by sea for their family background."
"Then the inner supervisor will inspect them carefully and remove the ones whose bodies are slightly shorter, fatter and barren. Then remove the ones whose voices are slightly stronger, slightly softer, slightly muddier and slightly less hungry. Remove the ones whose wrists are slightly shorter and whose toes are slightly shorter.
Those who are a little bigger and those who behave a little more impetuously have a thousand people; the remaining ones are carefully selected, using the secret room to explore their breasts, smell their armpits, and feel their texture, and only three hundred people are left to enter the palace, and they are selected for their appearance."
"Of these three hundred people, the two palaces carefully observed their temperament and speech, and evaluated their strength, softness, stupidity, wisdom, and virtuousness, and selected fifty of them as concubines, who were ultimately selected based on their temperament."
"As for the selection of the queen, it will be decided by His Majesty."
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but show a strange expression as he listened.
What kind of variety show?
After this set of procedures, it is no wonder that the emperor wanted to get married and it took more than half a year to get married.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but exhorted: "Send someone you can trust to keep an eye on it. Don't make sure it's all election bribery. If this thing goes wrong, I won't take into account your previous hard work."
In later generations, he saw the photos of some concubines that were circulated, which were too ugly to look at.
It's just a political marriage that can only be done among courtiers. If the quality of the nationwide audition is still the same, then he will really lose his temper.
Zhang Hong quickly assured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will personally monitor this matter."
Zhu Yijun curled his lips. He was really not used to this feeling of being arranged.
Although I was also in the Youth League Committee, the Labor Union, and the Organization Department in my previous life, they took turns to introduce me to each other, but they got married after they had been together for a few years - at least I went to the Justice Bureau to help the little girl move a few refrigerators, and together we took over ex-convicts and so on.
.
Zhu Yijun put away his random thoughts, shook his head, and asked again: "How did you arrange the date?"
Zhang Hong responded fluently: "Your Majesty, the initial decision is to have Christmas auditions in August, primary selection for the palace in September, and selection of concubines in November."
He paused and lowered his voice: "The two ladies want your majesty to get married next spring."
Zhu Yijun took a moment.
It's already the beginning of summer, and by next spring, it will be nine months.
This is indeed fast. Places like Yunnan and Hainan, which are often half a year away, will definitely not be able to catch up with Shanghai.
If you try to do it faster, it will inevitably appear to be hasty.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "That's it, no need to change it."
Zhang Hong quickly responded.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak anymore, he said it was another matter: "Your Majesty, Li Kun requested from the Hanlin Academy today that he would resign as editor of the Hanlin Academy and leave his post."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
He is worthy of being a person who can be worshiped in the Confucius Temple in future generations. He is really sensible.
Among the thirty-eight Confucian scholars in the west veranda of the Confucius Temple, Li Kun - who had been changed back to Lu Kun at that time - was ranked one after Wang Yangming, so he was certainly not a simple person.
As soon as this kid entered Beijing, Zhu Yijun immediately paid attention to him.
Of course, in addition to his knowledge and opinions, he is also a practical person.
The "Township A Law" was created when he was the county magistrate.
This person can be said to be an unrivaled figure in the grassroots governance theory of later generations - he can be regarded as the feudal version of Liang Shuming.
Nowadays, Zhu Yijun's arrangement for his people is naturally to make the best use of everything.
He waved his hand: "I have already informed Wang Xilie that I will wait until I have completed half a year of study at the Hanlin Academy."
The policies and strategies of the Central Committee must be well instilled, otherwise it will be easy to mess around like a headless chicken when you go to a certain place.
Furthermore, we have to let the cabinet and the officials of the Ministry of Rites determine the relationship between teachers and students.
While talking, the group of people had already returned to Wanshou Palace.
At this time, naturally someone went to pass on the meal.
Zhu Yijun took off his crown and put it on the table. He walked to the screen and checked whether there were any unfinished matters on the wooden sign: "Last time, the courtiers reported that Wang Yangming was invited to enter the Confucius Temple but I rejected it. What's the next step?
?”
Zhang Hong heard the emperor's unfamiliar question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
Seeing this, Li Jin's godson hurriedly stepped forward to answer: "Reply to Your Majesty, after Your Majesty rejected the memorial with unclear Taoism, the Ministry of Rites began to sort out the Yangming Taoism."
"It is said that it was inherited from Confucius and Mencius, Zhou Zhang, Cheng Zhu, and Jiuyuan, and then extended and created the current Seven Sages."
"Two people from the Neo-Confucian lineage and Wang Shouren's two disciples have already recognized this lineage. Only the Confucius family is still arguing with the Ministry of Rites."
Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Hong was at a loss and ignorant. The people in Dongchang counted their treasures and knew that it was something in the palace again.
However, he would not interfere with such trivial matters.
He put down the wooden sign on the screen and marveled: "The Kong family... let him enter the capital, isn't it just for the sake of Taoism?"
"Everyone knows this very well, but now they dare to wait for the price and start selling. I'm afraid they don't know how to get it."
Orthodoxy must be upright.
This step can be said to be a piece of cake, but it is crucial.
Why does Taoism claim to be the orthodoxy that continues the rupture of Confucianism for thousands of years?
It was to eliminate the lifeblood of all Confucianism after the Qin Dynasty was removed.
Why do you want to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism? It's just that Huang Laozhi's theory is not as good as Confucianism, it's just a new shell.
What kind of inspiration from heaven and man, the Great Unifying Wheel? It’s just Dong Zhongshu’s Six Classics injecting me.
In short, these are all heretics, just clinging to Confucianism.
For true Confucianism, we must look at Taoism.
The orthodoxy of Confucianism lies in Taoism, so how is the current Taoism tradition passed down?
This is something that needs to be decided urgently, both inside and outside the government.
Fortunately, after the hardest part is over, there is only one process to go through.
Once this process is completed, it is time to start a new chapter in Confucian philosophy.
Zhu Yijun snorted in his heart, what kind of astrological solar eclipse will he encounter in the future, and let him try to pray for sinners again?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun told Zhang Hong: "Pass an edict to let Yan Shenggong join the Ministry of Rites to discuss the Yangming Taoism."
Zhang Hong quickly responded: "I'll go right now, slave."
After saying that, he bowed his head and slowly retreated out.
…
After Zhu Yijun went through the things on the screen, he had finished dealing with today's matters.
Lunch was also served just in time.
What is different from the eight-course meal on the table in Longqing's sixth year that moved Gao Yi is that now it has been changed to eleven courses.
There was nothing I could do, at that time I was eating alone, so it didn’t matter if I ate less.
Since this year, Zhu Yijun either ate with the courtiers or went back to Longevity Palace to eat with Li Xuanshi. Without variety, it would be easy to encounter dishes that he didn't like.
But then again.
As an emperor, he doesn't have to worry about eating. He can add as many dishes as he likes, even if he has a meal of twenty-seven dishes like Taizu.
But I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the people. It's already summer. According to reports from some prefectures and counties, there are still swallows that haven't returned to their nests, and the people are dragging their feet and refusing to sow in the spring.
Little Ice Age...
Zhu Yijun sighed in his heart, it will definitely become more and more difficult in the future.
I'm afraid I have to think of some solutions in terms of farming.
"But His Majesty doesn't like the cooking skills of the Chief Chef? Is it hard to swallow?"
Zhu Yijun was thinking about something when he suddenly heard Li Baiyang calling him.
Only then did he come back to his senses and explained gently: "No, I was just thinking about something."
Li Baiyang looked at the emperor suspiciously.
To be honest, the food cooked by Shang Shanjian was not delicious, at least it was much worse than what she had eaten at home.
She only acted as the emperor's shield, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, can I let my concubine cook the dinner?"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Li Baiyang and asked you to cook for him, Li Fugui, the master chef, right?
It's enough to cook one or two meals occasionally. If the harem is given the authority to cook frequently, some chronic condiments may be added at any time.
But this just reminded him.
He smiled at Li Baiyang: "It's not necessary to cook, but Li Xuanshi can put some effort into the ingredients."
Li Baiyang was stunned: "Ingredients?"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said seriously: "It should be noted that the harem has the responsibility of encouraging farmers and mulberry trees..."
He paused and said, "Servant Li, would you like to plant potatoes?"
Chapter completed!
