Yu Qian recounted what he had discussed with Yemi Lihuo, and by the way, he also mentioned several precedents of the Ming Dynasty granting names, officials, and titles.

There were many Tatars who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, including ordinary people and nobles. Among the ordinary people, for example, Tongqinghou Huolihuozhen joined the Ming army during the Hongwu period. During the Battle of Jingnan, he was successfully granted the title of prince, but with the Duke of Qi

Qiu Fu fought outside the Great Wall, and was killed in battle. Huo Zhen's descendants were hereditary to watch the sea and guard thousands of households, so they had no worries about food and drink.

For example, Xia Gui, whose original name was Qu Luntai, also defected to the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period. During the Yongle period, he once served as the first-rank right-hand governor of the Central Military Governor's Palace.

Among the nobles, for example, Wu Yuncheng was originally a member of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He was a first-class official, such as Jin Zhong, who was a direct descendant of Prince Hengyang, a first-class prince of the former Yuan Dynasty. For example, He Yong, who defected to the Ming Dynasty, his biological grandfather was the elder of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

Opponent Arutai.

Arutai was the Northern Yuanzhiyuan who killed one Duke and four princes of the Ming Dynasty in one battle. It was also one of the reasons why Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di was so angry that he personally conquered it.

From the Hongwu period to the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, there were thirty-nine Tartar officials of second rank or above.

Granting Han names, officials, and titles were not the first of the Ming Dynasty. For example, as early as the Han Dynasty, Jin Rixi, the crown prince of the Xiongnu tribe, surrendered to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was given the surname Jin, and eventually became the caretaker of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty on his deathbed.

The minister and Huo Guang were tied.

There were countless generals named Hu in the Tang Dynasty. There were nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Western Regions. The most famous ones were An Lushan and Shi Siming who created the Anshi Rebellion.

Giving names to Yemi fire-powerful people, giving them Han names, giving them officials, and conferring titles are all a reassurance for those who seek refuge.

Different from the local officials in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, all the Tatar officials who were given Han names and nobles lived in the capital and were at the mercy of the Ming Dynasty at any time. They were equal to the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, so there was no need to worry about General Hu's rebellion like the Anshi Rebellion.

Zhu Qiyu was about to write down his name when he hesitated and said, "Did Yemi Lihuo Zhe mention the treatment of everyone in the tribe after joining?"

According to the practice during the Hongwu period, the Tatars who took refuge, even ordinary people, would be given a set of silk clothes, ten pieces of cotton cloth, one hundred ingots of banknotes, three stones of rice, two cattle, five sheep, and five hundred kilograms of firewood as resettlement fees.

.

In the 21st year of Hongwu's reign, the blue jade fishing sea broke through the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the resettlement fee was reduced to cash.

By the time of Xuande and Zhengtong years, due to the proliferation and depreciation of treasure banknotes, even treasure banknotes were no longer given.

Zhu Qiyu followed the rule and did not give any resettlement fees to the people who came here.

According to the salary set during the Jingtai period, the salary of Mi Lihuo himself was fifteen stones per meter, cotton, banknotes, silk, etc., which converted into silver coins was about sixty silver coins per year.

Yu Qian was silent for a moment. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The way he buttoned up the ropes was exactly the same as Shen Yi's tightly knitted hands. He didn't give any money he shouldn't have spent.

He thought for a moment and said, "That's not true. They all need to be discussed. Depending on the terms of the negotiation with Honglu Temple, I will explain the matter to Ma Huan."

How could the Ming Emperor need to personally inquire about the details of such negotiations?

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Then my surname will be Xia, and my first name will be Zhiyi."

Shahap mostly means stars in the Altaic language family, so it is indeed more appropriate as a given surname.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Yu Shaobao, did the Jiasilan you talked about send envoys to Ming Dynasty? Or received news?"

Yu Qian shook his head and said: "It's time to call him Xia Zhiyi, who is also a powerful fireman. Xia Zhiyi came to Daming in person after communicating with Ke Qian during the inspection of the border military department.

Please pay tribute and seal it."

"As for Jiasilan, she has a very bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty. She has repeatedly harassed the Ming Dynasty's caravans and harassed Yingbaobian Town. Naturally, she will not send envoys, because sending envoys will also be punished and executed."

Zhu Qiyu had an impression of Ke Qian. He was the number one military student in the second year of Jingtai, and then served as an imperial scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He really didn't like to write and write, so he went to Shaanxi Xingdu Division to catch spies, and he got the first prize.

The number one scholar in the fifth year of Jingtai's reign was Qiu Jun, a Hainanese who wrote the "Extensions to the Great Learning".

Zhu Qiyu said with emotion: "Jasilan, the road is narrow."

Yu Qian was delighted and said with a smile: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian also communicated on a number of issues concerning the Overseas Municipal Shipping Department, mainly focusing on the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department and the Inspection Department's garrison and patrols in Jeju Island.

Having promised the King of Korea to protect Korea from Japanese pirates, Ming Dynasty naturally followed through on his word.

Jeju Island and Tsushima Island are important fulcrums in the Korean Strait. As long as these two fulcrums are captured, the promise of military asylum to North Korea can be fully fulfilled.

At this time, the question arises, who will pay for the soldiers stationed on Jeju Island?

Zhu Qiyu's opinion was that in order to protect North Korea from Japanese pirates, the cost of supporting the army should naturally be paid by the King of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian advised him to be kind and forgiving, saying, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." But in the end, he was persuaded by His Majesty.

The reason given by His Majesty is very simple. Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty first, and then the King of Kings, the Son of Heaven, etc. Your Majesty must put the interests of the Ming Dynasty first in everything.

The garrison of troops on Jeju Island is a considerable burden. For the imperial court and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the budget must be saved as much as possible.

"Gao Liji cannot give in, I won't want it. There is no shortage of maids in Tai'an Palace. How many times have the two envoys from North Korea complained about Gao Liji? If they say no, they can't." Zhu Qiyu paid tribute to Gao Liji. Thank you very much.

Gao Liji's appearance is the best among the best, and her etiquette has been specially cultivated. She is the same as the Ming Dynasty. She knows books and etiquette, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But his reputation as an emperor is not used to serve as a platform for selling dancing girls, nor is it used to serve as a platform for the filthy and dirty business of the meat-eaters who occupy an allocated position in North Korea.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "Actually, Your Majesty, this Goryeo business belongs to the North Korean King Li Ao, that's why he is so concerned about it."

This is not a secret. There were frequent trade exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. The royal capital of North Korea was about 1,900 miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, while the distance from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Nanjing was 1,800 miles.

Therefore, the speed at which news about North Korea spreads is approximately equal to the speed at which news about Nanjing spreads.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu understand why the two envoys repeatedly mentioned this matter. He was still very satisfied with Li Yao, the Shouyang prince. After all, Li Yao's governing philosophy was to make friends with neighbors in all matters, and the Ming Dynasty gave priority to all matters. .

"Then let North Korea continue to pay tribute, and send it directly to Prince Xiang's Mansion. This is my direct imperial uncle, but he is the most virtuous emperor uncle. Well, in this way, it will not only chill the king of North Korea, but also give him a favor. Yes, Kill two birds with one stone." Zhu Qiyu made the decision.

Yu Qian said, somewhat dumbfounded: "Your Highness, Prince Xiang?"

Prince Xiang's Mansion has almost become the trash can of Tai'an Palace. For example, those Hailar who came from the grassland, Gao Liji who paid tribute from North Korea, and some concubines who cannot be rejected have all entered Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Yu Qian is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and these matters are not under his control, but he is the Shaobao, the head of the hundred officials, and it is in line with the regulations for His Majesty to let him handle these matters. This is Yu Qian, who has the actual status of a prime minister, but does not have the name of a prime minister.

Zhu Qiyu originally wanted to give Yu Qian the title of prime minister, but in the end he gave up.

Yu Qian said quite seriously: "The King of Joseon ceded Jeju Island to the Ming Dynasty, but he also hoped for a few things."

"First, it is to send generals to the Ming Dynasty Maritime Academy to learn combat skills; second, it is to form a joint navy with the Ming Navy to jointly escort the Korean Strait; third, it is to share intelligence, hoping that the Ming Dynasty can inform the North Korean side before suppressing the Japanese.

The retinue will fight under the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu sneered, shook his head and said: "Then Li Yao is quite ugly, but his thoughts are quite beautiful. Why is he dreaming about spring and autumn at three quarters in the afternoon? I won't agree to him."

Zhu Qiyu originally thought that Li Yao was just a loser who only knew how to do business with Gao Liji, but this was not the case with Li Yao. He thought too well. He wanted to train North Korean naval personnel and form a joint navy to escort and share intelligence.

Each one is more excessive than the other.

"North Korea and Jiannu have never been clear about it. The Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou have many contacts with North Korea. Even the Song Dynasty, which had weak military ethics, had people lying on the side of the couch. How can I tolerate others snoring and sleeping? Why should I agree to this kind of thing from North Korea?

Conditions?" Zhu Qiyu still explained his reasons.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Qian obeyed his leader's orders. He also did not agree with this approach of raising tigers for danger.

Although North Korea has always been relatively submissive, this was based on the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty.

In the 14th year of Orthodoxy, Tumu Fortress experienced a sudden change. The little Prince of Korea dared to stand up and accept the imperial edict and argue with the Great Ming Dynasty Angel about the "Fan Guoyi Notes". If the Ming Dynasty enters the winter sequence and is weak, then it is estimated that Mr. Dong Guo will fight with him again.

The story of the wolf, the farmer and the snake, and Lu Dongbin and the dog.

"Where is Yingming?" Zhu Qiyu asked casually.

Yu Qian immediately said: "His Majesty Kongo is good at making decisions and can solve big plans. He often uses four ounces to move a thousand catties, opening and closing like a god, works hard and diligently, and his majesty and virtue are far away. He is literate and rational, and has strict organization. Based on the civil and military heart of Yao and Shun,

His meritorious deeds are very prosperous, so he is called Yingming."

Zhu Qiyu blinked and looked at Yu Qian, and then remembered that Yu Qian was also a serious Jinshi. Such flattery could be said easily. He asked with a smile: "Seriously?"

Yu Qian answered calmly: "I am upright, never lie, and sincere."

Zhu Qiyu laughed three times and didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, this was just Yu Qian's way of being a minister. He was prepared to flatter the emperor anytime and anywhere.

He smiled and said: "Well, I haven't reached the age where my ears are obedient yet, so there is no need to say anything if I am obedient."

"I...accept the decree." Yu Qian looked at His Majesty's long smile and sighed, what he said was true.

If you want to be a wise king, you must first be diligent in your affairs.

His Majesty spends the whole day sitting in the Lecture Hall, reviewing memorials, and parades the army and horses every day without slacking off even in rain or snow. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, the people of the Qing Dynasty are honored to be worshiped.

The seventh-grade waistband went to Jiumen to understand the public sentiment.

Moreover, His Majesty never takes great pleasure in great achievements, and is quite selfish. He is only selfish for the Ming Dynasty. He puts the interests of the Ming Dynasty first in everything, expects leniency from the enemy, and is extremely cautious.

If King Jili hadn't been so happy about his success, how could he have personally conquered the fortress and caused the disaster?

Your Majesty is particularly expert in financial affairs. Since the Ming Dynasty's new monetary policy, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty has been increasing at an incredible rate.

Some people always say that His Majesty is a king who has subjugated his country, but Yu Qian believes that His Majesty is wise.

What he said is true, but His Majesty doesn't believe it.

"Do you want Yu Shaobao to play chess?" Zhu Qiyu stood up and asked.

Yu Qian also stood up and shook his head and said: "Is there a new map on the chess board? If I am not your Majesty's opponent in "Anti-Corruption and Catch Corruption"."

This is rejected.

Zhu Qiyu walked out of the imperial study and ran towards the stables, saying at the same time: "Let's show you my anti-corruption and catch corruption. Call Wang Ao to come too. I'm not only good at corruption, I'm also good at catching corruption."

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty took time out every month to observe the sentiments of the people, and his rank as a seventh-level general and political official was not an empty name.

Recently, he discovered a den of thieves. If he started from this den of thieves, he would definitely gain a lot.

Zhu Qiyu is self-aware and knows his fishing skills well, so he plans to tell Wang Ao, a young anti-corruption expert, about this fish nest.
