Episode 241

On March 19th of the first year of Ming Zhengde, the emperor of the East Kingdom, Yoshihide Ouchi, and Hosokawa Chengming were ordered by King Dongying Yongzheng to pilgrimage to the great son.

The sun rises to the east and the rosy clouds are everywhere. The envoys of various countries stand in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The cars, walks, dragon pavilions, elephants and horses are displayed inside and outside the Meridian Gate. In the courtyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, from His Majesty Dan to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the flags fluttered, the swords and guns stood, and the generals of the Han Dynasty stood proudly.

After Liu Daxia’s resignation, Liu Yu, acting as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Military Affairs, was temporarily acting as the deputy of Shang Shu. He was mobilizing the Beijing army and the border troops to change their defense. Yang Ling is now General Zhu Guolong and Tiger General, commanding the generals of the four towns, from Juelu to Weiwuhou, and naturally has the right to go to the Golden Temple to discuss politics, so he also came to the palace gate in a neat dress and jade.

The six princes above Jiuqing and the marquis stood at the forefront, and Han Wen stood among them, with a gloomy face and no joy. After hearing about the change of Beijing-Zhongzhong in North Xinjiang, he hurried back to Beijing angrily and badly, but he has already gone. The six divisions of Beijing-Jiuqing, except him, are either Liu Jin ’s faction or Yang Ling ’s faction. Nothing can happen.

At three o’clock in the hour, two drums sounded, and the hundred military and military officials and meritorious ministers entered the Forbidden City from the east and west gates of the Wumen Gate, and stood on the pavilion of the Taihe Hall and the courtyard according to their identity, level, and government gate.

Three sounds of static whip, one drum percussion, music “Flying Dragon”, Zhu Houzhao, who was crowned with a body, riding an elephant imperial guard, tiger and leopard open the way, under the guidance of the guide officer, the royal palace and the throne; Wenwu Baiguan bowed to the ground and bowed, Long live the mountain.

At such a solemn moment, the Emperor Zhengde still had no solemn expression in Xiaoyinyin, but Meiyu’s spirit was very strong, and he was quite heroic. He slowly sat down and called, “Zhongqing is flat!”

Civil and military officials were erected. Separately, Liu Jin stood on the side of the royal case with a whisk, and said with a loud voice: “Xuandong Yingguo’s tribute to the emperor’s emperor Tianyue was courageous, Hosokawa clear, see him!”

Ouchi ’s courageousness and Hosokawa ’s clearness were completely cleared by Yang Ling, who had been completely eliminated by his arrogance of remediation. He walked all the way from the Wumen Gate, and then saw this magnificent royal momentum, even more in awe of self-reliance. The two held the watch in one and the book in the other, and entered the hall under the guidance of the courtesy officer. They stopped at a pre-arranged position and knelt down respectfully and respectfully.

Ouchi volunteered to enter the table and recited it aloud in Chinese: “King Dongying, King Shengren respects His Majesty Emperor Zhengzheng De: Emperor Empress Dowager, and all return to the wind of China; Ganlu Qingyun, contend for the praise of Ruimai. Wan Bangxi was blessed by Guang Ben; there was no panic in the sea, and China was occupying Taiping. Wherever he is in the Bin Bin, he is not alone.

His majesty is the saint but the god, but the text is martial, and the glorious Yao and Shun are the two classics. Du Yue Han Tang Zhongxing. Bu Daming is in the world, and his colleagues are everywhere; he hopes that Chang’an will be at the sun, always one section. The special envoy made Oi Nai bravely bow to the court, looking up at the holy kindness. Qucha is sincere and expresses his respect. Chen Shengren was sincerely panicked, and made a speech. “

Ouchi volunteered to step into the table, and Hosokawa clarified that he also read the book of ceremonies: “His Majesty Emperor Shangming Renjing: Since the founding of the Dongying Kingdom, he has always been asked by Shangbang. Dao Yixing Bing Guojun, no doubt at home. . Specially abide by the ancient rules and regulations, so that the messenger Xichuan clarified.

Offerings: two large swords with scattered gold sheath handles, one hundred swords with black paint sheath handles, one hundred guns, one hundred long swords, ten sword waists, one armor collar, one copper pill collar, ten thousand jins of sulfur, Twenty agate-sized pieces, three pairs of gold-plated screens, two inkstones on one side, and one tongwentai. Shengren was panicked and frightened. Be kind. “

Emperor Zhengde listened and secretly calculated, although he couldn’t look down on these gifts, but this scale was more expensive than the gifts that Yongle Emperor Yongle had enshrined in the past. It seems that Yang Qing said it was true, this King Dongying It was really bloody, hollowing out the royal family.

Zhengde’s heart was refreshing, and he was full of the spring breeze: “Let’s ask please. Liu Jin inherits Dongying’s State Book. Wang Huaxuan renewed his purpose.”

Liu Jin quickly directed the two small yellow gates under the Imperial Order to receive the two messengers to enter the table, and the gift was presented in front of Zhengde.

Wang Hua walked forward slowly, saluting Zhengde first. Then he turned and preached to the group of ministers: “The Emperor Fengtian transported the emperor, and he said: Tribute to the force, know the etiquette, and reach the king, the father, the son and the son of Dalun, called China. And outside of China, there are those who can come to the king from justice Go ahead. King Zirdong Ying Shengren, with the royal family in mind, with the sincerity of loving the king, over the waves, sending envoys to the dynasty, I am very good … “

Daming used to reply to the tribute envoys of various countries in the past. The gift has always been several times or even ten times, and he was extremely generous. Yang Ling thought that anyway, the tributary system that only took advantage of the loss and did not take advantage of it would soon die in name and changed to private trade. Don’t be too petty.

Coupled with the fact that Emperor Zhengde listened to Yang Ling about King Dongying ’s need to sell calligraphy and paintings to maintain the royal family ’s expenses, he felt that the master of a country would be pitiful when he was mixed in with this, so the gift he gave was very generous, Lingluo Wealth, silk, calligraphy and painting classics, and even copper coins of 100,000 baht, and officially announced the lifting of the sea ban and free trade with various countries.

Yang Ling stood on the hall, heard the will was announced, and breathed out a long breath from his chest, looking at the ray of sunlight thrown in outside the hall, his heart was agitated: the most important thing was finally completed!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang, a man of great talent, but the peasant emperor who didn’t know the sea, made the first forbidden sea for the first time, this intermittent national policy that affected the entire history of the Han people finally came to an end.

I do n’t have the material to reach the heavens and the earth, and I have a general idea of ​​what I am looking at. But I have completed this major event, just like injecting a stream of clear water into a pool of stagnant water that is beginning to solidify and smell. How to go in the future, I believe that the greatest, The Chinese with the longest historical civilization can make a correct choice …

The young lady was doing needlework. Pianer and Gao Wenxin also knew female red, but they were not very proficient. They sat next to her and chatted with her to the sky. Sometimes they passed the needlework and cloth head. The three of them did not know what to talk about. Quietly, from time to time a giggling laughter was made.

Yu Tangchun, Xue Limei and Tang Yixian sat in the Luohan bed on the other side of the hollow pane, playing with the zither and flute, and the light and elegant music sounded from time to time.

“Seibei intercity trade has already started. The army has bought a large number of Mongolian horses. The private trade is frequent and the momentum is good. I mean … when the people make a lot of money. Those who are willing to do business in the north and even settle on the spot Will increase.

Think about it again. Therefore, all pubs, restaurants, casinos, brothels, inns, ticket shops, carts and horse shops must be opened. They must be hired. You can hire Mongolians and Jurchens. Of course, there will also be a large number of Han people. Trend. Coupled with the Han people sent to raise horses to teach Mongolians and Jurchens to learn farming …

The number of Duoyan Sanwei and Jurchen tribes is not large, and the internal tribes are very messy. Therefore, a simple in-law can often result in the integration of the two tribes. In this way, a low-level job can only assimilate the entire Liaodong region in just ten years. “

“Well!” Yang Ling half-layed on the study bamboo chair. He gently nodded and said: “I have greeted the Criminal Department. In the future, no prisoners will be allowed to send to Qinghai, Guizhou, Yunnan, and all to Liaodong.

Farming can do business. In addition to those who are guilty of crimes, they all settle with punishment instead of punishment. In this way, their families can take a lot of them, and the number of migrants can reach tens of thousands every year. The Department of Mutual Markets uses local legally-held taxes to lend them seeds and cattle to provide some convenience, so they can settle down and take root there. “

Cheng Qiyun smiled. He said: “Although this strategy is slow, it’s a strategy of seeking capital. After all, it is a place where aliens settle down. If they are forcibly occupied, they can’t be convinced by strong pressure unless they kill the whole family.

In this subtle way, when they wear Chinese clothes and speak Chinese, they learn the Han people even when they eat and sleep. When you open your eyes, most of the people are Chinese. They have not realized it, but they have been conquered by the Han people. Ha ha. The strategy of the immortal swordsman is even more terrible than the killing power of a million troops. “

Yang Ling opened his eyes nervously: “Don’t say, don’t say, you just praised me for not using sword soldiers a few days ago, and I cooked a person at the mouth of the vegetable market. I thought about it carefully. It’s a big deal, you have to die a few people, I hope Liaodong will not have an accident, otherwise … “.

Cheng Qiyun smiled and said, “Is there any fear for adults? People really haven’t seen it. The adults are so gentle, the means is so fierce, a big living person, so slowly It’s boiled. Alas, such a fierce method, the Wanjiasheng Buddha that was actually touted by the people of the capital. “

Cheng Qiyun wore a light purple flower satin jacket, covered with a fish-cree white floral crepe shirt, under a white gauze trousers, and tied with a silk lily embroidered skirt, a pair of embroidered shoes, and a pair of blue silk into a goose heart bun The face is like a hibiscus, and the muscle is like Ruixue. Not only does Yan Yanmingyan have nothing but a smile, but in front of Yang Ling, she becomes more and more cute and cute. It really looks like a girl a few years younger than him.

Yang Lingdao said: “This is nothing. If you do something like this for another five hundred years, I am afraid that not only the capital will be cheering for the people everywhere.”

“What?” Cheng Qiyun’s eyes turned and asked doubtfully.

Suddenly Yang Ling smiled: “At this time the flowers are blooming, and the sea ban is also on. I think the future will be different. Ha ha. If so, then people in five hundred years will not have this kind of hatred.”

Cheng Qiyun didn’t know what he was talking about, but her cleverness was that she wanted to please the man. If she wanted to be confused, she would never get to the bottom. Cheng Qiyun took the initiative to divert the topic and said: “How is the situation on Bo Yan’s side?” ? “

Yang Lingdao said: “As we expected, Huo Si has formed an alliance with Wa’a, and has begun to move on and off. The tribe they control has launched two provocations against the tribe of Boyan Khan, but Boyan is not stupid, and he has endured it. Avoiding the expansion of the situation, but inevitably, his prestige was greatly frustrated, and the inner tribes were already dissatisfied, just because he was a direct descendant of the Golden family, the righteous Khan, although he was defeated, but has not yet People dare to publicly rebel against him. “

Cheng Qiyun’s eyes turned around and she smiled and said: “Is the Neichang Fanzi not a vegetarian? Would you like to create all kinds of rumors, when will the Queen Mandu Hai come in handy?”

Yang Ling said with a smile: “I can’t hide from you. I’m asking them to corrupt Boyan’s reputation skillfully. It’s not the right time. If the war starts now, the inter-city trade that has just opened up and the full penetration of Liaodong will be affected. And I have evaluated the strength of the fire sieve and the tile edge, and it is still not a rival to Boyan.

Sometimes patience is also a skill. I have to wait until Boyan is centrifuged away from Germany, and when all tribes have come to mind, I will hand over Mandu Sea to Huosi to give him an excuse to fight Boyan. “

Cheng Qiyun sat on the Jindun beside the chaise longue, looked up slightly, staring at Yang Ling’s leisurely expression. There was a faint expression of appreciation and admiration in his eyes: “Now the officers and soldiers of the four towns are being transferred back to the Beijing division one after another. Are adults ready to train the new army?”

“It’s not me, but the emperor. Remember, this can’t be wrong, it is the emperor’s majesty who wants to train a new army,” Yang Ling corrected.

The two were less than three feet apart and looked up. Seeing Cheng Qiyun’s face as a beauty in Jiangnan’s water town, the two watery eyes on the white jade-like puddles contained infinite affection, and Yang Ling couldn’t help but jump.

Cheng Qiyun smiled knowingly and said, “The muskets of James and other missionaries have made great progress. The range of the musket has reached sixty feet, the rate of fire is several times faster than the traditional gun, and the accuracy has been improved. Not afraid of rainy weather. Are adults ready to fully equip the new army? “

Yang Ling shook his head and said: “No, it must be used in conjunction with cavalry and archers, and it seems that it is still more useful when defending the city by danger. Despite the great progress, such a musket cannot still be used alone with large stock cavalry. Combat, and it’s not that fast to manufacture.

If you can mass-produce artillery that carries light and amazing lethality, that is the sharp weapon, think about it. In the event of an enemy army, first of all intensive artillery fire and fire, then heavy cavalry charge, and finally infantry and caravans cooperate to cover in, so that the Mongolian cavalry will have a guarantee of victory.

It’s a pity … now that the source of the horses is secured, there is no problem in training the cavalry, infantry, and cavalry, but now the ground artillery is not only cumbersome but also has a very slow rate of fire, it is difficult to attack. There is no way to chase behind the Mongolian cavalry butt. I still have to focus on the training of the traditional army. “

He was quiet. Suddenly said: “As far as I know, Western artillery has its own strengths. If you can imitate and learn from it, I have asked people to check the dossiers of the military and ceremonial departments. In the 16th year of Hongzhi, there was a Western pirate ship stranded in Guangxi. The equipped artillery is different from that of China. Unfortunately, no one pays attention to it. Now even the scattered parts of the artillery are not found. I have ordered it to be paid attention to. If there are more Western pirates, we must find a way to make a gun. “

Cheng Qiyun gently said: “Tianjin, Ningbo, and Quanzhou have opened the sea to lift the ban. The shipping department and the customs office have been established. Among the three, the largest scale and the most transactions with various countries are the Ningbo port. Fengzhi headed south to preside over his affairs. The four major marine masters are also organizing on the basis of the original inland seamen. Those crops are also growing well … Almost all the wishes of the adults have been fulfilled, which is gratifying. “

Yang Ling quietly said softly, “Many of these things are up to you to help me make plans, otherwise I can do it alone, thank you very much, these things are in the ages and generations, when I am old You must write the book and say, write it down, so that future generations will remember how much power a woman has worked in and how much credit she has made. “

Cheng Qiyun’s heart was sour: “Your wishes have all been fulfilled. Would you like to help me achieve them? I am a woman. What do you want to be known forever, what kind of descendants do you want to remember? It’s not rare, just want what you remember in your heart. I”.

But when it came to her mouth, she suddenly felt a sense of extreme inferiority. The higher Yangling’s status, the more she felt that the distance between them was out of reach. What she can hope for now is only to stay by his side and see him every day. Contented in my heart.

But … what does it mean for adults to call themselves alone today?

Yang Ling ’s inter-city plan, which began at the same time in the north and south, was heavily invested in. The imperial court had just experienced the battle of building the emperor ’s mausoleum and Datong, and could no longer afford such huge expenditures. Whether it is crop improvement or the effect of inter-city trade, at least it must be at this time next year It pays off, so you have to find another way to raise money.

Formed a fleet of ocean-going ships, attracted the Jiangnan gentry and giants to participate, so as to form a huge interest body with common interests to consolidate the achievements of Xiehai Trading in Jiangnan and even the entire Daming, and use their huge financial resources and network to reduce the burden on the court . It is Yang Ling who attaches great importance to making shipbuilding, commercial transportation, and sailors relying on civilian power to avoid overburdening the treasury and failing the plan. Will he send him back to Jiangnan?

There was a panic in Cheng Qiyun’s heart, his eyes drooping, and he tried to say: “As long as the adult volunteers succeed, the humble job wants to know … how the adult prepares to arrange the pity girl, and … whether the humble job stays in the factory or goes Jiangnan? “

Yang Ling thought for a while and said, “Go back to Jiangnan.”

Cheng Qiyun expected a little bit. But it can be heard that Yang Ling said such unsympathetic feelings, with no intention of recollection, and there was a sorrow in his heart, and he bowed his head and said: “Yes …

Yang Ling said unconsciously: “I privately asked Jiao Ge Lao, loyal filial piety, filial piety, men work in the court, but also pay attention to loyalty and filial piety. In order to win the official business, the filial piety period has not passed, if someone is known, Filial piety is impeached day by day, and the emperor is very particular about filial piety. I will be extremely passive.

Jiangnan is too important. Gu Da uses me and can’t worry. In the future, I will have frequent exchanges between the two capitals. Anyway, the pity will always show up in front of the neighbors every time. In addition to you and I, Jiangnan matters can’t rest assured of others, so it is better to return to Jiangnan. “

It turns out that Yang Ling also has to travel to and from Jiangnan from time to time, so … Isn’t it more convenient for him to contact him alone? Cheng Qiyun’s heart burst into blossom, and a sweet smile suddenly appeared on Qiao’s face.

Zhang Yongxiong stood fiercely in front of Zhengde, his fists clenched tightly, his face flushed, and his chest kept rising and falling, and Zhengde wanted to laugh. Quickly persuaded: “You are in a hurry, when I call him to ask, you are my left and right arms. What’s wrong with this?”

Zhang Yong rushed to the crown and said with great enthusiasm: “Liu Jin is getting more and more confused. Since the emperor decided that the four towns of the army were transferred to the Beijing division, and after the payment of the money from the internal factory, Liu Jin pretended to be crazy and sold silly. Ying, I want to go to Master Yang and ask for money. Is it tolerable, which is unbearable? “

Zheng Delue thought for a while, and guessed that if Liu Jin said this, it was also angry. The original Jingying officers and soldiers were moved to the frontier. That is to say, these people are still under Zhang Yong’s control, but the resident has been mobilized.

The soldiers of the four towns entered Beijing, except that the administration was still attached to the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies. In fact, they were equivalent to the emperor’s private soldiers. They were not subject to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies. Instead, they directly served the emperor, with Yang Ling as the commander-in-chief. Therefore, Neichang decided that the payment of these people’s rates should be paid by Neichang, which strengthened the relationship between the four town commanders and the emperor. Zhengde was naturally happy that Liu Jin could not see that he could not intervene under the control of the four town commanders. , Actually twisted sour and jealous.

Zheng De laughed and said: “Lao Liu wants to be a short-lived talk. The Jingying officers and soldiers don’t allocate money to the ceremonial officer. What’s more, now that the tax supervisor has returned it to the same household, the old Liu is still very serious in handling affairs. … “.

He said that Liu Jin had hurriedly arrived. Now that although he is in charge of the tax bureau jointly with Hube, after all, he feels that his waist is stiff, and the prime minister of the inner court is doing something interesting.

Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng left, and there was a large power gap in the capital. Many officials affiliated with them were on the sidelines. I do n’t know who to invest in. If they go to the wrong terminal, their career will be greatly affected.

Liu Jin ’s confidantes, Songjiang talent and Luo Dixiu Zhang Wenmian saw Yang into the kettle. The strategy of igniting the fire was not effective, so he decided to change his strategy, firmly and firmly, then consolidate Liu Jin ’s power, and then press Yang Ling. It is a matter of urgency to send the power to Liu Jin as much as possible.

But with Yang Ling in Beijing, as long as there is a slight move here, how can his talented counselor not pay attention? Not to mention Zhang Cai and Liu Yu, who sway left and right between Yang Ling and Liu Jin, and they ca n’t make up their minds, and no one among them ca n’t guarantee that no one will disclose the information to Yang Ling. Planning to transfer Yang Ling from Beijing.

He disclosed this idea to Liu Jin, and Liu Jin also felt good. It was only for a moment that he couldn’t find a major event that could transfer Yuqian first celebrity, mighty marquis, and generals away from the capital, so he secretly ordered his heart to start gathering important information in various places to see if there was an opportunity.

Liu Jin was happy at home, as if the blueprint had already appeared, so he hurried happily when he heard the emperor looking for him. When he arrived outside the hall, he just heard the praise saying “Lao Liu is still serious.” He was very happy in his heart and rushed in. Laughed: “The old slave sees the emperor, and as soon as the emperor calls us, this comes immediately, you …”.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yong saw him coming in and screamed, “Apeng spread his wings,” and jumped a foot high. Punched hard, hitting his cheek with a “bang”. Liu Jin was sitting on the ground with a buttocks, and his face was blue. At first sight, Zhang Yong beat him, and his eyes were struck with anger. Immediately a “monkey picking a peach” fisted back and fought back.

The two eunuchs with the jade robe and the powerful **** were torn up in front of Zhengde. Zhang Yong would marry and seize the opportunity again. After beating Liu Jin, Zhengde was furious when he saw the table and shouted, “Stop it! Stop it all! What is it?”

Although Zhengde doesn’t talk about his system most of the time, he can’t help but be a servant. When he sees Zhengde is really angry, Zhang Yong puts a heavy weight on Liu Jin’s belly with his knees, and then gets up.

Liu Jin narrowed his eyes with red and swollen eyes, and sniffed the robe off. Seeing that the python robe was torn, Zhang Yong felt a little pain. According to another leg on his leg, Zhengde said angrily: “Zhang Yong stops, no more fights.”

Zhang Yong turned around and said very seriously: “Emperor, the old slave hasn’t finished talking yet. The old slave went to find him in theory. He actually made a list in the inner court. Xiao Yu was forbidden to guard the upper and lower palaces. From then on, the old slaves were not allowed to enter the palace. The leader of the Beijing camp guarded the emperor’s safety, but he was so insulted by him in the Forbidden City, and the old slave lost his face. “

Zheng De saw his exasperation, and said his own cheek banged while snapping, and felt a little too much. He could n’t help but glared at Liu Jin and said, “Get up, do n’t fight, so old. In order to quarrel all day for such a thing, I am afraid that people will read the joke. “

Zhengde woke them up and gave them some consolation. The two were angry, but they didn’t dare to show it again in front of Zhengde’s face, but their eyes were rounded and they looked at each other like a fighting cock.

Zhengde looked helpless and suddenly remembered the tribute from the Japanese envoy and the national policy of lifting the ban on the sea. After the announcement of the six days, the six horse lanterns kept entering the leopard room for instructions on various related matters. Taking advantage of today’s nothing, let Yang Ling take her into the leopard room and accompany her to see the tiger and leopard.

As for these two living treasures, Zhengde looked at the two and said, “You are all people close to me, who work for me wholeheartedly. Why do you hurt your temper because of a moment of arrogance and perseverance? So, taking advantage of the spring, you Do n’t leave when you ’re here. I will call on Yang Shi to read the table and set the banquet. You will meet and smile. ”

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong glanced at each other contemptuously with the eyes of a panda, and then looked away from each other, opened their lips, exhaled, and gently yucked.

“The emperor wants to call the Tang girl to the leopard room?” Xie Yan asked urgently.

“Well, it seems that the emperor is very concerned about her, and personally told the leopard room to not reveal his identity, saying that he would accompany the Tang girl to see the tiger and the leopard,” Shame said lightly.

Xie Yu rolled his eyes and said, “Yes, this is an opportunity. When the time comes, take the opportunity to act, and find a way to separate them. Set the words of the Tang girl and see where she is.”

Speaking of which, she frowned slightly: “It’s just that after the dementor has been used, she will have a memory in her heart, and how to explain it will be a problem.”

Shamelessly smiled and said: “What’s the problem? The two of us were originally engaged in performing arts and crafts. At that time, they were supposed to show off the skill of dementing. She is indeed suspicious, hum! “

Shao Hua smiled coldly: “Since she is also thinking of the emperor’s idea, dare to speak up? Then we will pass the news out and spread it in the Chaoye, which is a great thing!”
