Chapter eight hundred and seventy-eight The country is long, and it depends on robbing(1/2)

Zhu Qiyu gave Chen Yi high respect, including the rare honor of giving Chen Yi the title of Liujue. If Xu Youzhen continued to benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty in his current appearance, Zhu Qiyu would probably give him such an honor after Xu Youzhen's death.

When closing Chen Yi's coffin, giving him enough respect is the respect that Zhu Qiyu has for himself, and it is also because Chen Yi respects himself enough that he can gain this respect.

Guo Zuo is the longevity of the dynasty, the life of the dynasty, and the health bar of the dynasty. So what determines this health bar?

In fact, it is organization.

The degree of organization is the life of a regime. As the degree of organization decreases, the interior of the regime will become more and more decadent, which is manifested in the deterioration of social customs and the collapse of rituals and music. However, the decline of the degree of organization is inevitable, so the success or failure of a regime will

Emptiness is the inevitable process of every political power.

So how should we increase or replenish the degree of organization to continue the country? Life and death change and perish.

Rewards and punishments are clearly one of them. Zhu Qiyu's reputation for violence is his punishment. Whether it is Chen Xun, Wang Zhi, or now Chen Yi, the honor after death is a reward.

Clearly, clear rewards and punishments are a necessary condition for maintaining organization. If you make a mistake, you just lift it up high and put it down gently. After three to five months, the official is reinstated, and the outline and constitution are like waste paper. Then the loss of organization is not surprising.

The second is to grab. You can win by grabbing and the fat will not be liquidated. There are only a few pieces in the world. One is the vast cotton fields of India, the other is the silver mines of Japan, and the other is the manpower spread all over the place.

One resource is the Indian scalp.

Of course, at the end of the 19th century, there was still a piece of fat that would not be liquidated, and that was the Tatar reparations.

Opening the sea is a robbery, using the Japanese silver mines to replenish the organization that was lost during the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu picked up another memorial and put it on the table and said: "In May, the cold current comes after the warm current, and the monsoon is just right. Tang Xing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, will lead the Ming Dynasty official ship to sail to the West again. It is expected to last for eight months a year."

Commander Sa, Tang will lead part of the fleet to continue westward, while the official ship will return to Ceylon, to the old port, Da Nang, and return to the Guangzhou Shipping Department."

"This is the Ming Dynasty's first southward voyage to the West since the ninth year of Xuande. I still say the same thing. If you want to oppose it, do it here. Don't engage in civil uprisings and arson of ships. I patrolled south to Songjiang Prefecture. Songjiang

I think it’s a pity that the treasure ship that didn’t even have a name in the Manfu Shipyard burned down like that.”

"In the name of a civil uprising, just to scatter some silver and delay the imperial government's plans, I will never forgive you lightly!"

Zhu Qiyu remembered the tyrannical combat power of Haining and Lujiang, and naturally also remembered the treasure ship that was burned on the dock before it could even go to sea.

This is Zhu Qiyu's warning. If he plays such dirty tricks, as the emperor, he will really go crazy!

The route of the official ship and official trade was the route taken by Zheng He on his sixth voyage to the West. The reason why the sixth voyage was chosen was that this voyage was the most mature and had the most abundant information, whether it was various star maps or

The various methods of crossing the equatorial calm zone are all valuable experiences.

Tang Xing's circumnavigation of the world and the official ship and official trade were carried out at the same time. In Manbasa, Tang Xing would take thirty ships and part ways with the official ship and official trade, and step into completely unknown waters.

The official ship and official trade has been a hotly debated topic in court discussions. What is different from the voyages to the Western Seas during the Yongle period is that this time the official ship and official trade is no longer the exclusive monopoly of the Ming court or internal funds, but

With a large number of commercial ships accompanying them, the official ships and official trade ships played more of an anchoring role in prices, while the accompanying battleships played a escort role. The main purpose of the Ming Dynasty official ships was to declare to the countries in Southeast Asia and the West that: The Ming Dynasty

, is back.

This issue has been discussed for a long time to the point where it cannot be discussed, but Zhu Qiyu still brought it up again, and naturally issued a final warning not to cause trouble on this matter. Yu Shaobao was not in the capital. He started to attack, but no one

Encourage kindness and forgiveness.

If the Ming Emperor was said to be arbitrary and arbitrary, Hu Hui would be the first to be unhappy.

As far as the matter of official ships and official trade is concerned, His Majesty discussed with the courtiers at the court meeting, and communicated with the Ministry of Finance and Accounts to determine the division of official ships and official trade. Finally, he asked Songjiang Governor Li Binyan to communicate with merchants all over the world.

Negotiate specific matters such as the distribution of goods, accompanying merchant ships, etc.

, it lasted more than a year, with extremely frequent internal and external communications, and strived to achieve a result that was satisfactory to the majority. If His Majesty is to act arbitrarily, is there anything that can be said to be arbitrary?

Although the results cannot be said to be perfect, most of us are satisfied that His Majesty has tried his best. His Majesty has done everything he can in fulfilling the duties of the Emperor and exerting the court's function of regulating contradictions between classes.

"Your Majesty, King Shouyang of North Korea has written that he hopes to accompany him, so that North Korean merchants can also go out to see the world." Ma Huan, the minister of Honglu Temple, said with a strange expression: "They have four three-masted ships, which were shipped from Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard.

Bought."

"The Japanese country also has this idea. Mainly the Japanese merchants, led by Hosokawa Katsumoto, hope to request favors from the court in the name of Yamano Yuan Gongfang. This time they are accompanied by the imperial order of the Muromachi shogunate. Therefore, the Japanese

There is no lack of moderation.”

"Making a fortune is a matter of course." Zhu Qiyu asked with confusion: "What can North Korea sell? Princess Gao Li? Only the Ming Dynasty can afford such products, and they are the luxury households.

, How can an ordinary family afford such a valuable thing?"

"Does Lord Shouyang want to go to Borneo to sell his Goryeo?

After Lord Shouyang became the king of Korea, his basic national policy was to maintain good relations with neighbors. Nothing was as important as having good relations with neighbors. Therefore, it was not surprising that Ming Dynasty took action and North Korea responded, but what did they sell?

Ma Huan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "That's not true, Your Majesty. This Yangjun sells the Korean princesses only to the Ming Dynasty. Those Korean ladies will also be willing to serve the Ming Dynasty. If they are allowed to go to Japan, Ryukyu, Jiaozhi, and Siam

, they themselves are not willing to go."

It is obvious that His Majesty's concern about this aspect of trade is limited to the Ming Dynasty's gains, and he shows an indifferent attitude towards other matters.

Gao Liji is a luxury item comparable to Yangzhou's thin horse in the Nanya Mansion. Even in North Korea, these Gao Liji are hard to find. Which one of them does not cost a huge amount of money to cultivate such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Gao Liji is high-end.

Route, Goryeo, who grew up in such an environment, would not be willing to serve even if she was sent to the Japanese country.

"The reason for Lord Shouyang is this. The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven. Although I don't know what the Ming Dynasty intends to do, it is absolutely right to follow it." Ma Huan told the story of Lord Shouyang's petition to order North Korean merchant ships to accompany them.

reason.

Although I don’t understand what Da Ming is doing, I just want to follow Da Ming. If I wait until there are benefits before following, it will be too late.

"This Lord Shouyang is really interesting, that's right." Zhu Qiyu agreed to the request of the King of Korea. It was just four three-masted ships. North Korea was willing to accompany the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu was also happy to see it happen.

Fan Guang, the capital of Liaodong, commanded Fan Guang to suppress the slaves in Liaodong, which also required the cooperation of North Korea. Naturally, there was no need to turn against each other. After all, when the Ming Dynasty wanted to make a market in Jeju Island, Lord Shouyang did not hesitate at all.

"As requested by Hosokawa Katsumoto, please allow me to think slowly." Zhu Qiyu frowned.

This time Tang Xing took over as the commander of Pandu and went south to the west, he would bring Jin Shenju with him. It was discussed at the Wenhua Palace that Jin Shenju was not only a relative of Tang Xing, but also an imperial edict of Japan.

The prestige of the Imam Bureau in Japan is extremely high. After the assassination of Ashikaga Yoshitsune, the third generation general of the Muromachi Shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate was in a precarious situation. It was able to maintain the dignity of the Muromachi shogunate. This is evident from the personal prestige and ability of the Imam Bureau.

"I actually don't want the Japanese to be involved in this matter, but Hosokawa Katsumoto is willing to accept the request from Yamano Yuan Gongfang." Zhu Qiyu weighed it again and again, and finally agreed to Hosokawa Katsumoto's request.

The reason is very simple. Just like the Tatars have advantages on the grasslands, the Japanese have their own advantages in the ocean.

Asut Tribe, Haraqin Tribe Taiji Bolai and Ma'er Keer dared to attack Changping Marquis Yang Jun on the grassland, but when they got to the pass, they faced Changping Marquis and the Beijing army led by Changping Marquis.

I didn't even dare to take a breath.

The Tang Dynasty wanted to sail around the world, and a group of Japanese people who were born and grew up on the water would indeed be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty's global voyage. Moreover, Hosokawa Katsumoto did not apply as the third commander of the Japanese country or the Muromachi shogunate, but

In the name of Shanye Yuan Gongfang, he requested to accompany him. The people accompanying him were not Japanese people, but people under the rule of Shanye Yuan Gongfang.

The warriors accompanied him.

Zhu Qiyu's goal for Tang Xing's circumnavigation is: not to succeed, but to hope that Tang Xing and others can come back alive and train experienced boatmen and sailors. If it doesn't work this time, try next time. If it doesn't work next time, try next time.

, if you go a few times, you can always get something done.

The court meeting ended in a quarrel. The content of the quarrel was not about maritime trade but about the ninety people who were burned to death.

The Ministry of Rites believed that the court should make some compensation, such as granting more than 90 people with the same background as Jinshi. If they were unable to achieve the same rank while alive, it would not be an exaggeration to give them a status after death.

However, He Zhang, who covered the sky with his hands, did not agree with the Ministry of Rites' statement that the deaths of more than ninety people were due to personal grudges with Zou Qian. The court had already given enough justice to Zou Qian for arson and murder and should not be punished again.

Increased compensation, if this is to be burned to death for someone who was born with the same Jinshi, I'm afraid there will be people competing to imitate him. For the sake of a status that is nothing but being born with the same Jinshi, will there really be people competing to imitate him?

The answer is yes. In the current Ming Dynasty, studying is for the imperial examination, and the imperial examination is for passing the imperial examination. If you can't pass, you might as well die.

The conflict between the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate probably started when He Zhang impeached Hu Ming for being immoral. This conflict was deeply rooted and could not be solved with a few words. After arguing for a long time, Zhu Qiyu finally made the decision and awarded these more than 90 people.

Juren was born with the same background as a Jinshi.

There was no substantive salary, no official position, only the title of being born with the same Jinshi status, which was regarded as an explanation for the family members of more than 90 people who were elected.

Even if you want to imitate, in addition to risking your life, you also have to have a grudge with the minister of the third rank of the imperial court, and the minister of the third rank of the imperial court has to take risks. If you want to imitate this way, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Zhu Qiyu has never changed from beginning to end. He is willing to give more tolerance to these young students.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu received an obituary notice from the various government offices in Ryukyu. Chen Yi, the governor of Ryukyu, died of illness. Chen Yi passed away before Zhu Qiyu's memorial to confer a title on Chen Yiliu reached Ryukyu.

When Zhu Qiyu heard the obituary, he stayed away from court for three days to express his condolences.

The Ryukyu government requested that Chen Yi be buried on Jilong Island. This was also Chen Yi's last wish. He hoped to see Jilong Island become a place in the Ming Dynasty and did not want the court to forget this land. Jilong Island was important to the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Yi knew all about sex, and when it came, Chen Yi was still thinking about the national affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Qiyu wanted to seize love as the emperor. Not only did he not agree with Chen Yi's last wish, he also demanded that Chen Yi's body be transported back to the capital in ice and buried in Jinshan Cemetery, worthy of the imperial mausoleum.

After hearing this, Hu Hui went to Tai'an Palace and discussed with His Majesty for a long time. Finally, he finally decided on the compromise plan of setting up the Yiguan Family in Jinshan Cemetery and Chen Yi was buried on Jilong Island.

"If you stay in Xing'an, I would like to give more advice to Your Majesty. Birth, old age, illness and death are all human beings. Don't be overly sad." When Hu Hu left Tai'an Palace, he warned Xing'an.

Regarding Chen Yi's death, His Majesty's grief was not very obvious, but Hu Hui still saw His Majesty's sadness. His Majesty's uncharacteristic desire to steal love and not comply with Chen Yi's last wish was to transport Chen Yi's body back to the capital.

Hu Dan could understand the sadness deep in His Majesty's heart.

Chen Yi was a minister of Conglong. Although he once yelled out such treacherous words as praising him, Chen Yi did not do it in the end. After going to Zhang Qiu, Chen Yi did not care about the hard work and hit him outside the Chaoyang Gate.

From the moment he was thrown out of the sedan chair, Chen Yi stood firmly by His Majesty's side.

Along the way, more than ten years have passed by in a hurry.

How many decades can life last?

More than ten days later, Xu Youzhen, the governor who was patrolling the Yangtze River to control water, was shocked to hear the bad news about Chen Yi. He was extremely sad. After writing a eulogy, he fell ill. The illness only improved after more than a month. Xu Youzhen and Chen Yi were colleagues, and even more so.

The two were close friends. In Zhangqiu and Hetao, they were both comrades who could give each other their backs to fight against the enemy.
