When all the ministers here heard what Li Chengliang said about Huerha and Erwaka, a tribe they had never heard of before, they were all a little dumbfounded and secretly admired Li Chengliang. Zhang Juzheng thought a little deeper and secretly thought that Li Chengliang was playing with fire. After going down the mountain today,
, I want to meet him and give him a good beating.
Li Chengliang continued: "I also inquired that those who live on the Songhua River and on both sides of the Heilongjiang River are Huerha, also known as shaved black gold, but their hairstyle is completely different from the Jurchen money rat tail; those who live in Wusuli, Songhua
Those who live at the confluence of the three rivers of Heilongjiang and Heilongjiang have their heads shaved, so they all do not shave their heads. Although the two have different hairstyles and clothing, their languages are similar, and they both speak the Hezhe language."
Zhu Yijun was very happy after listening to Li Chengliang's memorial. He praised: "I have seen the establishment of the capital of Chengzu's Nu'er Gandu. There are only Barbarian Jurchens, but there is no Hezhe. Ning Yuanbo is worthy of the 'Tongliao incident'! Well, the Barbarian Jurchens,
Is the result a savage?"
Li Chengliang replied: "I don't know their leader, nor how their tribes are unified. But as far as I know, although the Haixi Jurchens are known to be good at fighting, they have gradually moved southward for decades because they were attacked by the Hezhe tribe!"
After hearing this, all the ministers coaxed lowly, and they were all worried about this Liao incident. They thought that these tribes were rising one after another. Although Wang Gao was destroyed, after ten or twenty years, the Hezhe tribe had grown stronger again.
Military general Yi Yuhu Di?
Only Zhu Yijun and a few other people present were not intimidated by Li Chengliang, but they did not argue with him. After listening to Li Chengliang's words, Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "According to Ning Yuanbo's opinion, if you want to settle the matter in the east once and for all, what will the court do?"
Is that good to do?”
Of course, Li Chengliang chose the rhetoric that was most beneficial to his family: "With my simple knowledge, I still use Governor Liu's method, with the imperial court in the middle to suppress each other, and make the various tribes attack each other. Honesty is the magic method."
Zhu Yijun laughed loudly after hearing this, and told Wei Chao: "I know Uncle Ning Yuan's loyalty to the country, and I will reward him with fifty silver coins, two inside and one outside."
After Li Chengliang shed tears and thanked him, he was secretly happy, thinking that he was so lucky that he was far better than Qi Jiguang today. But the emperor's words always seemed to have some other meanings, and he needed to go back and discuss it with his eldest son.
After the emperor rewarded Li Chengliang, he asked the ministers present: "My lords, I have a question: If you want to bring the captives back to their hearts, what is the best way for the court to have no more troubles?"
When the ministers heard the emperor's question, they were all secretly shocked. They said that when the affairs of the country were so complicated, the emperor's thoughts were all on side affairs, which might not be a blessing to the country. But today was a festival and the occasion was not suitable for admonishment, so they had to put their thoughts aside.
Put it all on the problem.
The Hanlin officials were already ready to take action. When the emperor asked questions, they all responded like peacocks spreading their tails.
To put it simply and crudely, it is similar to what Li Chengliang said. Let them attack each other first, wait for the time to come, and then change their origins and return to their homeland. Finally, they will become Chinese people and eliminate ethnic differences; if there are whimsical ones, they can fight against the Lu tribe.
Be gentle and teach them, so that they will admire China and gradually succumb to it. Others have realized the role of religion and suggested that religion can be used to guide them to do good, and then they can change their ways and return to their native land.
Zhu Yijun listened with a smile, and nodded when he saw that the Hanlin officials pointed out that the only way to solve the problem was to change the situation.
Then he looked at Qi Jiguang and nodded to him.
Qi Jiguang already knew the correct answer in the emperor's mind and knew that this was to establish his prestige. After the discussion paused for a while, he spoke: "Your Majesty, with the knowledge of your ministers, you should first use violence and then use gentleness to make everyone
All the captives know: 'Those who do not surrender to China are like the Wang Gao tribe, and their people are not like Qiao!'"
When these murderous words came out, all the ministers were dumbfounded and thought that Qi Jiguang was very evil. Qi Jiguang muttered in his heart: "I didn't say these words, it was the emperor who said them."
Seeing the emperor clapping his hands in praise, as if praising him for what he said well, the corners of Qi Jiguang's mouth twitched a few times. Then he heard the emperor say again: "Go on, please."
Qi Jiguang nodded in agreement, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I have been fighting for many years, first resisting the Japanese, and then rejecting the captives. Regardless of whether they are Japanese or captives, they are all afraid of power and unethical."
Luo Wanhua, an official of the Imperial Academy, came out and praised him: "Jing Haibo, it is well known to the world that these Japanese pirates are afraid of power and have no morals. However, Japanese pirates and border pirates repeatedly invaded China, not because of the mentality of animals, but just to make ends meet."
If the imperial court allows mutual trade and opens up the sea, the trouble will surely be alleviated. ——I don’t know what I am today, but I am the Shunyi King of the imperial court!”
After hearing this, Qi Jiguang smiled and asked: "Luo Xiu wrote that when Qi led his troops to behead more than 100,000 real and fake Japanese pirates, the imperial court did not open the sea, but were there any Japanese pirates at that time?"
Luo Wanhua listened and sat down silently. The ministers then remembered that when Qi Jiguang and the Qi family army were so powerful in the world, Li Chengliang had not yet inherited the world. No wonder he was so murderous. For his great contribution of beheading more than 100,000 people, he should be granted the title of uncle.
!
Qi Jiguang continued: "Your Majesty, in the fourth year of Longqing's reign, the imperial court promised me to pay tribute. Although the imperial court promised Monan Mongolia, businessmen seeking profit have already spread all over the desert grasslands. According to what Luo Xiu wrote, the captives should not
They invaded China again. However, last year alone, Jizhen was invaded three times by Dong Kuli. At most, Dong Kuli and his nephew led a total of 30,000 troops. It's just that the banditry has not stopped!"
"Based on my knowledge, this tribe will be strong in Jianzhou this year, and may be strong in Hada next year. If a hero like Wang Gao appears, once the tribes are united, they will become a serious problem in the border towns."
"As for the imperial court, we can't be afraid of trouble - if we want to get rid of him once and for all, we can only kill him, and then promise him rewards and mutual benefits. When the time is right, we can change his ways and return to his old ways."
After listening to Qi Jiguang's remarks, the ministers felt itchy and wanted to argue with him, but when they saw the emperor's expression of appreciation on the throne, they thought that this memorial should wait until the imperial court finished it.
When it comes to files, it's not too late to go up and play.
Zhu Yijun looked around at the nobles and ministers and asked them to discuss the two methods of treating Jurchens by Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang.
Except for Zhang Juzheng who did not speak, most of the other dignitaries and ministers present supported Li Chengliang's method. Firstly, the court did not need to raise troops - there is no money to raise troops now; secondly, it was very difficult to reorganize the people into one household and return them to their hometowns.
, tribes surrendered and then revolted, and there were many places - the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, all of which are such examples.
Of course, some responsible ministers still suggested to Zhu Yijun to adopt Qi Jiguang's opinion. Zhu Yijun did not comment and asked Zhang Juzheng first. Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, today is the Double Ninth Festival, and this is not the Huangji Palace, so why bother?"
Are you anxious?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun laughed and laughed. He said to Zhang Juzheng: "The old gentleman is right. I actually studied military affairs here. But now that I have studied it, I finally have a conclusion."
After he said this, the birds in the curtain were silent, waiting for him to make a decision. Yijun's voice turned cold, and he said something that made all the noble ministers feel heavy in their hearts and lost their voices for a moment.
Later, some people recalled this court meeting which was not a court meeting, and some recorded it in their notes. Later historians used these records as evidence and finally found the date when the Ming Dynasty's national policy began to change.
Almost all the participants felt the same at that time, as if a cold current passed through their hearts: "Jing Haibo's words deeply touched my heart. Jurchens are ugly people. For many years, they have regarded Wang Gao as a hero in their own country and China as weak.
Although Wang Gao's descendants were exterminated in Gule City this time, Jianzhou, Haixi and others still had no intention of naturalizing. They did not regard money as a rat's tail as ugly, and they did not release the Han people they had plundered in the past.
—Do you regard me as a lord who can be insulted?"
"I have decided to decree in Liaodong that all the Jurchens who have been granted the title by the imperial court will be released before the end of October today. All enslaved Han people and Korean people will be released before the second day of February in the third year of Wanli.
It is the same as the people of China. If anyone resists the order - his tribe will be exterminated and all will be killed without mercy!"
"When their resistance is subdued, all Jurchen tribes must organize their families into households and bring them back to their hometowns!"
