In Wang Zhaofei's eyes, her man's favor is the greatest thing in the world.
Although her man is the emperor, according to national laws and family rules, he should have three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines and tens of thousands of palace maids, but a woman's mind is smaller than the tip of a needle. This was also decided by Empress Nuwa when she created human beings.
God has stipulated the greatest, so Concubine Wang Zhao enjoyed the treatment of three thousand favors at ease, and ignored the overt and covert attacks of Queen Xia and others.
After staying in Baoding for several months, in a wilderness area where birds do not lay eggs, and in a rural place where you have to wait half a day to take a shower, Wang Zhaofei could not stay for a day anymore. She pestered her man all day long, wanting to return to the capital.
Go into infinite prosperity.
But Zhu Shou's love for her seemed to be limited to the bed. Most of the time, the emperor's thoughts were still on those bumpkin boys.
This situation did not end until the beginning of October in the second year of Zhengde.
Concubine Wang Zhao clearly remembered that that day, the north wind outside the window was blowing loudly. Winter had come, and the colder and colder weather made her mood worse and worse. She did not want to stay in Xiong County for a day.
The place is ruined.
Admiral Zhang Yongzhang ran in and out with a pile of memorials, sweating profusely. The heating in the wall was very strong, and the eunuchs responsible for heating did not seem to be lazy. This made Concubine Wang Zhao very unhappy, because there was a little one among them.
The eunuch was Empress Xia's spy, and she had been waiting for a long time to kill this guy. Unfortunately, in addition to being Empress Xia's spy, the little eunuch was also Boss Liu's godson, and now Concubine Wang Zhao had nothing to do with him.
However, this small setback could not trouble Concubine Wang Zhao. There were countless informants around the emperor.
In the palace, after ordering the execution of a palace maid who was Wu De's spy, Concubine Wang Zhao, who was wearing single clothes, heard the emperor loudly ordering Admiral Zhang: "I want to return to Beijing!"
When Concubine Wang Zhao heard these words, she was more effective than any other medicine. She immediately glowed with youthfulness and threw herself into Zhu Shou's arms. Then she lay on her man's crotch, her lips were slightly open, and she did what Zhu Shou asked.
I called her several times, but she didn't do anything.
Zhu Shou was surprised at his woman's openness. You must know that this was the Ming Dynasty more than five hundred years ago. Even if he was the emperor, there were some things that no one dared to think about but no one was willing to do. For example, the current relationship between men and women, and then
For example, the heroes of the Warring States Period overthrew Japan.
The emperor and Concubine Zhao were making a plan to create a new generation. Naturally, the eunuchs and maids who were watching were very shy and did not dare to show off. Only the little maids who were responsible for pushing their buttocks and wiping sweat were ready to enter battle at any time.
Zhang Yong picked up a book that the emperor threw on the ground, and with a smile on his face, he retreated behind the curtain. Although he was also a eunuch, his status and role had long exceeded those of ordinary eunuchs. He had no interest in watching the private affairs of the emperor and his wife.
of.
As the second-ranked figure in the Eight Tigers, Zhang Yong knew very well where he was positioned, and he deliberately gave this piece of information to the emperor, and it had the desired effect.
The things described in the excerpt are the results of the investigation of the Haizhou Rebellion in the past half month. It was written by Shi Wenyi, the commander of Jinyi Guards, and then commented by Gu Dayong, the admiral of the West Factory, and Qiu Ju, the admiral of the East Factory, and finally by Liu
The boss personally reviewed it before sending it to Admiral Zhang next to Baiyangdian.
Zhang Yong, who was following the emperor closely, looked at Boss Liu's circle and smiled disdainfully. Old Liu was already behind the times. Now the only person who knows the emperor best in the Ming Dynasty is Admiral Zhang.
That day, when he received the news about the Haizhou Rebellion, Admiral Zhang was keenly aware of the emperor's interest. Although Zhu Shou concealed it very well, how could he escape Admiral Zhang's eyes?
Following Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years, Admiral Zhang mobilized his connections and investigated the Haizhou Rebellion without waiting for the emperor to open his mouth. Everything down to the smallest detail fell into this trap...
It’s funny that Boss Liu took a serious look at it once and thought it was just an incident. It was a bit more remarkable and more people died. For Boss Liu, who sees hundreds of thousands of people die every day.
It's really a small thing.
But Mr. Liu forgot that there was a very important message in this excerpt, which was a sentence: "If I can live as a Ming Dynasty person, I will die as a Ming Dynasty ghost!"
This sentence is the finishing touch of the book, and it is also the result that Admiral Zhang is most looking forward to.
The person who said these words was a Japanese named Kamesumaru. During the Haizhou Rebellion, he killed more than ten Japanese and more than twenty Koreans in ten days with one person.
man, and more than a dozen Han Chinese, finally walked into Haizhou Yamen alone and surrendered.
Speaking of which, Wu Zhizhou of Haizhou was also a wonderful man. He didn't immediately chop off Kamesumaru's head to appease all the forces. Instead, he brought the matter to the capital with great fanfare and even made a memorial ceremony for Kamesumaru.
The title of "loyal and righteous man".
Loyalty? Admiral Zhang spat. Wu Zhizhou's only intention was to raise the sea ban again. Guys like this who go against the emperor's wishes will be hacked to death sooner or later.
Once the Twenty-Korean Trade was launched, not everyone agreed, and there were countless courtiers who opposed it. There were hundreds of people, all kinds of people, not to mention the tens of millions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty?
But the emperor and the former smuggler group had already colluded together, and the profits generated by the opening of the sea in the past few months were enough to make the former smuggler group go crazy.
There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. This sentence is not true at all.
Struggles between the inland faction and the coastal faction, between Shanxi merchants and Hui merchants, and between the northern and southern civil servant groups, caused constant headaches for the elders and Eight Tigers in the court.
The emperor, who should have been in a turmoil, instead went to Baoding to set up the Ming Martial Arts Academy, which made the knowledgeable civil servants complain endlessly.
After all, things have to be done. Seizing the problems arising from the opening of the sea and publicizing them have become the focus of the attacks of the sea-banning faction.
The Kaihai faction are not vegetarians. Aren't little reptiles like Haizhou Wu Zhizhou going to shake things up? His immediate boss, the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, Chiang Kai-shek, is not to be outdone. He not only implements the concept of "loyal and righteous people", but also
He also put forward the radical proposition of abolishing the Zhengde Kan conformity.
What's going on?
Speaking of this, we have to mention the Kanhe trade system of the Ming Dynasty.
Five hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty was in an era of blind self-expansion. The glory of Zheng He had long passed, and Spain and Portugal were running around the world. The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, out of a complex psychology of self-exaltation, were implementing semi-
When the semi-closed maritime policy was implemented, a small crack was left open: tribute, exploration and trade.
This is a unique manifestation of Chinese civilization, especially Confucian culture. Ninety-nine percent of people who have not read "The Analects" cannot understand this system.
Abandoning its awkward rules and regulations, let’s briefly talk about its mode of operation, which is roughly as follows: Before Zhu Shou’s twenty-kou trade, merchants in the Ming Dynasty were never allowed to do business with foreigners privately.
Any conditions can be negotiated.
Only tribute trade is legal, that is, when foreign merchants follow foreign "tribute envoys" to the Ming Dynasty for business, the Shipping Department can pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for free in the name of tribute.
Court, there is no such thing as a commodity here.
You can't take what others have for nothing? Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the goods of domestic merchants will be rewarded free of charge to these foreign merchants who "admire the divine power of the Celestial Empire" in the name of rewards.
So something fishy happened in the middle.
Both methods are free of charge. If the foreigners give less, the people of Ming Dynasty will suffer; if the foreigners give too much, the foreigners will stop doing it...
So the Ming Dynasty court generously used money from its own pockets to give to foreigners! In order to maintain the majesty of the Celestial Empire.
Now that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty have stopped working, is the court so cheap?
Okay, you can be cheap if you want, I'll smuggle him out!
As a result, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Ming Dynasty's tribute and cooperation trade: foreign businessmen were crawling on their knees, begging their fathers and mothers to come to the Ming Dynasty to trade, while the Ming businessmen did not bother the court at all, and went directly to the sea to become smugglers and pirates.
Already.
Therefore, to use the terminology of later generations, wherever there are trade barriers, there is smuggling!
The stronger the maritime ban in the Ming Dynasty, the more formalized the tribute and prospecting trade, the higher the profits from the smuggling trade, and the stronger the Ming Dynasty's smuggling and pirate groups became.
The appearance of Zhu Shou changed everything. He opened twenty ports and welcomed countless smuggling groups and pirates with a broad mind, allowing them to come out of the dark corners and into the arms of the Ming Dynasty mother, and let everyone go to sea together.
Make money.
Therefore, starting from April of the second year of Zhengde, the tribute, exploration and cooperation trade became a piece of waste paper, and no one used this system. Now, the Dayi family, which monopolized the Ming and Japanese tribute, exploration and cooperation trade, stopped doing it.
I want to destroy Hosokawa Sumitomo! Ouchi Yoshihiro, the top cultural figure of the Kazu clan, roared, and by the way, he contacted Hosokawa Sumitomo and issued an invitation: Let's kill your brother together, and then make you the boss of the Hosokawa family, you
What do you think?
What does this matter have to do with Hosokawa Sumitomo?
His cheap dad was just hacked to death in a hot spring. Logically speaking, he shouldn't mess with Ouchi Yoshihiro.
However, history always has its inherent contingency and inevitability. The Hosokawa family, which dominated Kyoto, lost the Ming Dynasty Kanfu in the first year of Masatoku, which meant that their Hongzhi Kanfu had expired.
And who is qualified for the Ming Dynasty survey? It is the guardian daimyo of the Seven Kingdoms who will dominate western Honshu and Kyushu in the future, and the shogunate will take charge of Ouchi Yoshihiro. However, at the moment, Yoshihiro is still the guardian daimyo of the six kingdoms, and is working with Toyo.
Later, the Otomo clan went to war.
Ouchi Yoshihiro, who held the Masanori Kanfu in his hand, had only been happy for two years when Zhu Shou traveled through time!
The trade of twenty mouths turned the priceless Masandoku Kanfu in Ouchi Yoshiki's hands into a piece of waste paper. Seizing the opportunity, the Hosokawa family began to take advantage of the internal strife in the Ouchi family to intervene in Ming-Japan trade.
However, Yoshihiro Ouchi's anger does not dare to flare up for the time being, because the Hosokawa family is still in the hands of Masamoto Hosokawa. Masamoto, who is said to have the ability to unify the world, has great talents and great strategies, which is not what Ouchi, a cultural man and half-politician, can do.
Comparable.
But not long ago, Hosokawa Masamoto actually went to Kawachi Tianjing Hot Spring to take a bath. You just take a bath, and he also brought Hosokawa Seiyuki's retainer Konishi Motoharu with him. Now it's better. He had long been dissatisfied with Seiyuki being abolished as the family prince.
In Xiangxi, his good friend Zhengyuan was hacked to death with a knife, which is known as the Yongzheng Incident in history.
As a result, the old prince Chengzhi and the new prince Chengyuan began a seven-year dog-eat-dog war.
Now the opportunity came for Ouchi Yoshiki. He issued a secret order and ordered his men in Kaishu to find an opportunity to kill the Hosokawa family traders and vent his hatred.
However, the Ouchi family, which is popular in "lower and higher", is not monolithic, and his orders actually fell into the hands of the Hosokawa family's retainer Kame Jumaru.
As a result, Kamejumaru waved his Tang-style horizontal sword and set off a vigorous Kaishu Rebellion.
