Two hundred and fifty-eight chapters on tour (two)
Such a large group of masters must bring some people to serve them. Including the internal guards and army guards, there are more than 21,000 people who follow the emperor on hunting expeditions. Not to mention the vastness of the group, there are only those who provide logistics.
There were more than 700 carriages and the entire team was more than 20 miles long.
With such a long team, Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry and walked slowly on the road. After spending two days at the Tangshan Palace to renovate and cleanse his body and mind, Zhu Yijun got up early on the third day and set off to visit the imperial mausoleum.
After paying homage to his ancestors, Zhu Yijun also inspected the construction site of the mountain mausoleum built for himself. Although he was only in his twenties, this was a system. If Zhu Yijun wanted not to do it, the court officials would not let him.
After some gesticulation, Zhu Yijun made a speech about the need to be frugal and frugal in the construction of his mausoleum. The officials in charge of the construction and the internal officials supervising the construction all thought that the emperor was talking nonsense. In such a prosperous age, it is important for the emperor to
You have to save money to build a mausoleum. How does the emperor want the people in the world to see this court?
Zhu Yijun also knew that what he said was in vain. He talked about lavish support and poor burial, and also decreed that the subjects should not waste money on weddings and funerals. These were all constraints on the subjects - the emperor must stand in line with the law.
outside.
If the emperor's mausoleum is simple and crude, judging from the current ideology of the world, the people of the world will not think that the emperor is setting an example to promote diligence and thrift. Instead, they will think that the country is about to perish, and they will bury the emperor as a last resort.
Feeling that he still had a long way to go, Zhu Yijun endured the pain and hemorrhaged money and allocated 70,000 taels to build his own mausoleum. He didn't know whether his grave would be dug up in the future. But it was useless to think about it at this time. The matter of the Wanli Emperor's bones being dug up in the future was
Special circumstances, I hope this time and space will never happen again.
After seeing the construction site, Shengjia set off for inspection in Ji Town. After the development of Northeast China, Governor Ji Liao's residence moved to Shenyang, but Governor Liang Menglong had already been waiting to pick him up in Ji Town.
Ever since the coalition forces organized by Dong Tuzi were annihilated by General Zhang Chen and Ning Yuanbo outside Jizhen in the fourth year of Wanli, and 8,600 people were beheaded, there has been no smoke warning in the entire Jiubian for seven years.
Especially in the sixth year of Wanli, after the promulgation of the "Ordinance on Ennoblement of Titles", the people who controlled the grasslands and Gobi strings would rather go hungry than have the idea of breaking into the border and looting, for fear that the border troops who were stimulated by the order would seize the reason and exchange their heads for their titles.
land, in exchange for civil nobility.
Although Kunduliha and Tumen Khan teamed up to rob the border market the year before last, they did not hurt anyone even though they used knives. Secondly, when Zhongjin Hatun ran away from Guihua City, Tumen Khan felt that they
That makes sense - it's not that we don't want to go through the formalities to trade with each other, it's that something went wrong with Mrs. Zhongshun, who was conferred by the imperial court.
According to the past, this reason was strong enough. But times have changed, and Chahar Khan and Kunduliha still used their old minds to think about new problems. So the two of them handed over their heads together, which calmed the emperor's "anger"
, upholding the dignity of the law.
When the two human heads were handed down on the grassland, the emperor reiterated the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" in the edict: "Any robber who has committed a crime but has not obtained the wealth will be punished with a hundred sticks and flowed three thousand miles; but those who have obtained the wealth will not be divided.
All heads and subordinates will be beheaded."
Now all the tribes on the grassland can clearly see that this emperor is sinister and sinister. Once he is targeted, the tribe will basically be eliminated from the grassland: not only will the tribe be gone, but the livestock, women, children, etc. will be immediately destroyed.
It was divided among other tribes close to the Ming court.
It’s not like no one on the grassland has thought about grabbing a handful and running away. What can you do to me if I run deep into the desert? The imperial court can’t raise a large army. It can go to the desert just to vent its anger. But when the most powerful King Shunyi moved into Guihua City
After that, those who had such thoughts were all lone wolves. They were small tribes in Dingtian, and the frontier army was more than enough to deal with them. Those who tried this trick all gave land and titles to some lucky guys in the frontier army.
...
Liang Zhong, the son of Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, is the right deputy censor of the capital and the son and daughter of Geng Dingxiang, a famous Neo-Confucian scholar. Zhu Yijun's northern tour this time mainly passed through the places under the jurisdiction of Jiliao. Of course, Liang Menglong had to carefully prepare for the pick-up.
Zhu Yijun promoted Liang Menglong to serve as governor of Jiliao because when he was patrolling Shandong during the Longqing period, he began to strongly support the reform of river-to-cao transportation to sea transportation, and his political attributes were firm reformers.
Sure enough, when Wang Zongmu was impeached and Jia San was about to submit a fishing inscription, Liang Menglong, as the governor of Jiliao and the main player of the water transport reform faction, spoke loudly and fought with the conservative faction to the end - fully demonstrating a courageous and responsible man who was determined to reform.
Image of a senior official.
His granddaughter Liang Xin commented on Liang Menglong: "If you just put the word 'Quan' on your forehead, you will not be afraid of ghosts and gods." This is actually true. If Feng Bao hadn't done something wrong early, Liang Menglong's granddaughter Liang Xin would have been the
If she wants to marry Feng Bangning, it will be a tragedy for her.
But it is only one-sided to think that Liang Menglong is powerful. In Zhu Yijun's view, Liang Menglong is definitely worthy of being called a "capable minister, a minister of revolution."
And as the emperor, Zhu Yijun didn't care what Liang Menglong put on his forehead. At that time, he only looked at Liang Menglong's resume and decided to promote him: in the 32nd year of Jiajing, he was promoted to a Jinshi, and he was promoted to a commoner.
Li Mo, the minister, was deprived of his salary;
Later, he recovered, sat in the capital to inspect and collect relics, and was appointed deputy envoy to Henan. When the Yellow River broke through Peixian County, Zhu Heng proposed to open Xu, Pixinhe, and Menglong completed his campaign in Henan;
When he was promoted to governor of Shandong, Liang Menglong advocated maritime transportation. He not only cooperated with Wang Zongmu to complete a sea canal transporting grain of 120,000 dan, but also wrote a book "New Examination of Maritime Transport".
By the time Liang Menglong was on patrol in Henan, Zhu Yijun had already ascended the throne. Before the clan reform, Henan was oppressed by the kings and there were so many bandits. On the one hand, Liang Menglong developed production in accordance with the New Deal, and on the other hand, he implemented the local policy of the clan reform and used ruthless tactics to cull the "black evil".
power", and within a few years, Henan was managed in an orderly manner: "Every household can take off its roof and lie down."
How can such a capable minister not be put to great use?
...
Liang Menglong saluted when he saw him coming, and there was no need to elaborate when he greeted him. Zhu Yijun exchanged a few words with him warmly, and then asked about Ji Liao's military deployment and army training situation.
Liang Menglong first reviewed the deployment of Ji Liao's troops: how many new troops were stationed in Shenyang; how many were stationed in Daning, etc., all of which were under the jurisdiction of Ning Yuanbo; there were still three thousand soldiers in Liaoyang, the former important town, and they were at odds with Shenyang.
The core combat force in the Northeast region. As for Ji Town, it is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Chen. There are 12,000 new troops distributed at different garrison points near the border wall.
After talking about the army deployment, Liang Menglong suggested: "Your Majesty, Rehe has been established as a province. Why do we need to station a large army on this wall? It is better to move the main force forward and use Saihanba as a new garrison. If the Emperor visits the north again in the future, he can still stay there.
Tent? I thought it would be good to find a place with rivers nearby and build a palace - this new army garrison can also protect the palace."
Zhu Yijun was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Governor Liang's road is getting wider and wider."
Putting aside the palace matters, Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "Qian Ji's words are very popular with me. The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. This idea has no effect. After a few years, the Tartars have multiplied and multiplied, and they will become entangled with the Han people." , but where is the end of this wall?"
Hearing this, Liang Menglong smiled and recited: "The emperor had a strategy for a long time, but he came to test the ministers. In the year before BC, the Ministry of War allocated land to build forts. The ministers tried to build two outside the mouth. If there were water sources, food and grass, hundreds of The defenders are hard to defeat!"
"On the Rehe grassland, there is no need to build a large bastion. One that can hold a thousand men is enough. One fort can control a radius of hundreds of miles, and hundreds of bastions can be built to become Guihua City."
