Chapter 837: The wind is strong and urgent, Yang Fanwei is all over the world (8)

The spring breeze in the sixth year of Chongzhen blew open the capital that had been sleeping for a winter. The deserted capital land in winter was covered with green green, and golden forsythia hiding in every corner to bloom buds. Zhangjiazhuang outside Xizhimen has never stopped from noisy to busyness. This national war has made a lot of efforts, and in the end it was only commended by Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty. None of these caused dissatisfaction with the Ponu Army. The fundamental reason was that the Ming Dynasty opened the court. Such conditions had already made Zhang Ping'an, the Marquis of Ponu, who was far away from the pass, very satisfied. The Marquis of Ponu submitted a letter and asked Emperor Chongzhen to write an inscription for the Xuanfu Office of Ponu City to "educate the world" and "the emperor's kindness is forever". Regardless of whether the two inscriptions were sincere or not, the Ming Dynasty saw the sincerity and generosity of Ponu Hou.

In the memorial, Zhang Ping'an of Ponuhou also asked Emperor Chongzhen to exile the criminal officials to go to the Xuanwei Envoy Office of Ponucheng for transformation, saying that these guilty officials were to be reincarnated in Ponucheng Xuanwei Envoy Office. In fact, the Ming Dynasty court knew what Ponuhou was selling in the gourd. The officials that Ponuhou actually wanted were mainly Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai. However, Ponuhou paid out of his own pocket to send a large army to the Ming Dynasty to serve the king. After defeating Jiannu, he ordered the Ponu army to withdraw from the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Some criminal officials were not as good as the millions of silver spent by Ponuhou. The official transactions were of moderation and peace. Dozens of officials were exchanged for the withdrawal of the Ponu army. As long as they were not fools, everyone could calculate the account clearly.

The Ponu Army saved nearly 300,000 homeless children on the battlefield. After the war, the Ponu Army set up ten camps outside Zhangjiazhuang to accommodate these orphans who had lost their relatives. The Ponu Army allowed the people to claim the children who were separated in the war. As long as it could prove that the children were their own, the Ponu Army would prepare enough dry food for the departed children for ten days. The Ponu Army not only collected orphans, but also took in women who had been harmed by the Jiannu in the war. In the Ming Dynasty, once a woman lost her virility, the woman would almost lose her dignity as a human being. The Ponu Army did not care about these bad ethics and habits. The woman who commanded Zhang Ping'an was also harmed by the Mongolians, and she still gave birth to children for the Ponu Hou.

Although the Ming Dynasty believed that the Ponu Army was suspected of winning people's hearts, the Ponu Army never made a big fuss to make a name for itself when doing these things. Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming officials believed that Ponu Hou was an orphan. Perhaps Ponu Hou had the same life experience. He was accumulating good deeds for himself, so he did not go into the deep research. The three battle camps of the Ponu Army, the left Erya tribe, the personal guard camp Zhang Youhe, the Fei Jin tribe and the Fu Ruige tribe were the first to escort the medicinal materials transported from Nanzhili, the plain silk and tea leaves came out of the customs, and the rest were ready to go. Chen Porcelain, the deputy commander of the Ponu Army, was mainly waiting for the food purchased by Nanzhili and other materials urgently needed by the Ponu Army.

After Jiannu evacuated the border, the army of Shizhu Xuanwei was also preparing to return to his hometown. The deputy commander of the Ponu Army led the commander of the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponu City in Beijing, Zheng Tai, and hundreds of guards, to see him off. Although there was a misunderstanding between the Ponu Army and the Shizhu Xuanwei Office, the deputy commander Chen Pang still allocated fifty crossbows and three thousand rounds from his own barracks to give it to Shizhu Xuanwei Office. Seeing that the armor of Shizhu Baiji soldiers were broken, Chen Pang ordered the gift of Shizhu Army 7,000 pairs of armor, 10,000 battle robes, and 20,000 pairs of leather boots in two seasons. Zheng Tai even took out 200,000 taels of silver for Qin Liangyu, hoping that the two armies would not meet again in the future. Unlike Chen Pang, the deputy commander of the Ponu Army, who did not give it to him for free, Zheng Tai had to pay the money for his money.

Sichuan is a good place. It not only produces medicinal materials but also silk, but more importantly, it produces cinnabar. This kind of material that can extract mercury is even more eager for the Ponu Army. After sending away the Shizhu Xuanwei Army, the Ponu Army has recently begun to arrange for gradual evacuation from the Ming Dynasty, but recently another trouble has occurred in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Several Folang Ji people claimed to be appointed by their government to envoys Ponu Cheng Xuanwei and the Japanese. They took the agreement signed with the Ming Dynasty Ponu Hou and clamored to let the Ming Dynasty approve the agreement. When the content of the agreement signed by the Ponu Hou Zhang Ping'an and the Folang Ji people was passed to the court, the whole court was suddenly in anger.

Zhang Ping'an, the Ponuhou, who has always claimed to be a strong foreigner, actually signed an agreement to cede Taiwan and Haojing (Macao) to the country to be humiliated. Just when this matter was causing a stir in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order for all civil and military ministers to discuss this agreement for stolen the country. When the Ministry of Rites reported the evidence from the Ponuke, the ministers who were scolding and trying desperately found Ponuhou fell into silence. The agreement presented by the Ministry of Rites You Tiansheng, the Minister of Rites, was a sign that an official dared not express his opinion easily. Not to mention whether the content of the agreement was true or false, judging from the seal that was stamped and the signature of Ponuhou, this agreement was likely to be a trick played by Ponuhou.

Judging from the content of the agreement alone, it was the Folang Jiren and Ponu Hou who joined forces to attack the pirate Zheng Zhilong. For this reason, the Folang Jiren proposed to preach and build churches in the area of ​​Xuanwei and the enthronement of the Ponu City, and also proposed to cede the two places of Taiwan and Haojing that they occupied. Ponu Hou seemed to agree immediately, but he did not show any more requests from the shameless Ponu Hou. In this regard, it was not very similar to Ponu Hou's style. The Thais had the habit of liking missionary preaching, but the Folang Jiren wanted to preach on the territory of Xuanwei and Ponu Hou. It was true that Ponu Hou was shameless, but he allowed any religion to spread within the area under his jurisdiction.

According to the memorial sent back by Yang Lian, the ruling of the judicial affairs office of the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy, Ponuhou only allowed Buddhism and Taoism to carry out ritual activities. Other religions were almost exterminated by him, and even the Lama religion was severely suppressed and let the Lama change to Han Buddhism. Ponuhou respected Confucianism, and all children must read the Four Books and Five Classics. When Confucianism was prevalent, only Han Buddhism and Taoism were developed. It is said that Ponuhou once issued a good news that excited scholars, Ponuhou Ling, Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy all children must go to school after the age of five. If a family does not go to children to go to school, their parents will be punished for eight years of hard work. Ponuhou Zhang Ping'an forced Confucianism in the Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy, which was unanimously approved by the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, so that many scholars with ambition to educate the world volunteered to go to Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy to teach.

Moreover, from these letters written to friends by the scholars of the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponu City, it also confirmed that Ponuhou's tough means of promoting Confucianism were also favored by these scholars. These scholars were also specially treated by Ponuhou. Not only was their status respectful but they were also sufficient money, but they were servants and slaves in their families. A few days ago, Ponuhou also wrote memorials himself and reported to Emperor Chongzhen about his experience of bathing in Confucianism. In the past, Ponuhou's memorials were written by people, and he signed them with charcoal pen after the memorials. Recently, Ponuhou's memorials were written with brushes. Although the words written by Ponuhou still could not be elegant, he could feel his determination to promote Confucianism from his memorials.

The Ming Dynasty has had many handwritings of Ponuhou recently. The agreement was flawed by the Folang Ji people. First of all, there were problems with the seal of Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy stamped on the agreement. The seal of Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy was three inches square, and the seal on this agreement was five points larger, and there were typos on the seal. All seals of Ponucheng Xuanwei envoy were engraved by the Ministry of Rites in the Year of the Heavenly Qi and sent to the Xuanwei envoy. All the divisions of the Ming Dynasty had seals and seals archives. From the seals on the agreement, how to look at it was a fake seal. There was also the signature of Ponuhou Zhang Ping'an, who said that he was a cursive script, and it was more like the ghost-suppressing talisman painted by Taoist priests, which was not written by Ponuhou himself. If the Ming Dynasty court used this agreement to question Ponuhou, even Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could not make any move.

The final result of the court discussion was that the Folang Jiren falsely accused the great men of the Ming Dynasty and handed over the Ministry of Rites to the Po Nu Army, who was preparing to withdraw the troops. As a result, there was no accident with the court ministers. These Folang Jiren were skinned by the brutal Po Nu Army. When Emperor Chongzhen convened the court discussion, he also discussed the latest memorial of Po Nu Hou. In the memorial, Po Nu Hou accused the North Korean and Japanese of destroying Shangguo culture and cutting off the good Chinese characters to the point of missing legs. He hoped that the Ming Dynasty court ordered the two countries to correct their mistakes and not allow such acts of insulting Chinese characters. This imaginative memorial made the court officials unable to understand the true intention of Po Nu Hou. The official text of the Korean country is Chinese characters, and missing legs is for the people without culture. It is of little significance to change or not to change.

Japan had no connection with the Ming court, and it seemed inappropriate to let the Ming court take accountable. The court officials unanimously agreed that Ponuhou might be a bit obsessed with the promotion of Confucianism, and the starting point was good, but it was a bit too eager for quick success and instant benefits. The Ming court just wrote a newspaper and published Ponuhou's views and understanding. Sun Chengzong, the former Minister of War, who was responsible for the crimes and resigned for Jiannu's entry into the pass, immediately guessed Zhang Ping'an's next plan after hearing the content of the memorial of the little fox Zhang Ping'an. It seemed that the little fox was planning to attack North Korea and Japan. This memorial was obviously a hint to Jiannu's attack on North Korea. Sun Chengzong did not know what the North Korean government, which had always had a good relationship with Zhang Ping'an, offended the little fox on what issues, so that Zhang Ping'an had to teach North Korea a ruthless lesson.

Just when the Ming Dynasty was confused by the memorials after memorials of Ponuhou, the main fleet of the Ponu Army Navy in the East China Sea of ​​Japan had a first confrontation after tearing the face with their mortal enemy Zheng Zhilong Pirates. After annihilation of the main navy of Japan, the Ponu Army Navy spent a day replenishing the ammunition, Danshui and grain. Yang Qiantu, the commander of the Ponu Army Navy, ordered that "Ping'an" and "Pinghu" two gunships led six obstrators from the east to the side of Zheng Zhilong's fleet and cut off their return. The "Shangde" led five Pingzi warships to the left wing, and the "Shangwu" warships led six Pingzi warships to the right wing, and Yang Qiantu personally led the "Zhenyuan" warships as the main fleet, and rushed to the Zheng Zhilong fleet a hundred miles away.
