"Except for the Horqin tribe and the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, which have been pacified, the Chahar tribe and the Tumote tribe have all moved further west and north. Therefore, there are no more border troubles from Ningxia to Liaodong. I I believe that when the Guards and the Brave Guards are transferred back, there is no need to continue marching, which will keep military supplies in a state of expansion. If this continues, sooner or later the country will be a liability!"
Shen Weibing, deputy privy envoy and right minister of the Ministry of War, directly proposed to transfer back the Guards and the Brave Guards at the Privy Council meeting of the Metropolitan Governor's Office on how to use troops in the Ming Dynasty, and requested that the imperial court should not continue to expand externally.
Yuan Keli directly vetoed: "The Guards and the Brave Guards cannot be transferred back for the time being. The herdsmen from the newly added prefectures and counties outside the pass have only recently joined and are not educated enough. They must continue to stay. In addition, the march to Mobei cannot be interrupted." , the deeper you go, the safer the border residents in the interior will be, and the demand for ordnance will be able to be maintained at a high level to avoid affecting the income of a large number of domestic military personnel."
Then, Yuan Keli continued: "We even need to increase the number of troops. The original Chahar tribe, Horqin tribe, and the areas further north must have troops stationed in order to ensure the peace of the country and prevent foreign invaders from getting bigger!"
"It is better to send troops to garrison than to send out officials, and to immigrate is better to move the local Sauron people and Jurchens to the plains to educate them. In this way, there is no need to waste a lot of national funds and move a large number of people, which will affect the farming and weaving in the pass."
Shen Weibing argued.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who had been sitting behind the curtain in the center, suddenly said: "In that case, Shen Aiqing, you will go to the outside of the customs to serve as the governor of Chahar and the Northeastern Confucian envoy! Responsible for the migration of foreign captives throughout the northeastern Shanhaiguan area. Settled in Chahar, educated them, and immediately drafted a decree."
Shen Weibing was shocked after hearing this. He did not want to go to such a bitter and cold place outside the pass.
How nice it would be to speak in the capital and show your concern for the country and the people.
As for the governor of Chahar and the envoy of Northeast Confucianism, he is actually no different from being exiled.
Because everyone knows that the area inhabited by the Chahar tribe has just come under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Not only is it sparsely populated, but there are probably more wild beasts, and they are afraid that they will die miserably before they can take office.
What's more, when dealing with the savage-like primitive tribesmen outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid they won't be as civilized as their fellow monarchs in the court, and they might get their heads chopped off just because they don't agree with what they say.
So, he really didn't want to go.
But Shen Weibing did not dare to resist the order, so he had to reply: "I obey the order! But I feel that it is better to send some troops and move some refugees there. Otherwise, it will not be enough to suppress a few stubborn barbarians. Please tell me, Your Majesty."
"Ai Qing didn't just say that we would send troops and immigrants. Why don't we send out officials? Do you really want to send troops and immigrants again?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
"What I just said was unwise. Now after listening to Yuan Fu's words, I feel that Yuan Fu's words are reasonable."
Shen Weibing was about to cry in his heart now, and thought to himself: "Your Majesty, you can't really let me die. Send some soldiers. At least you can ensure that I won't be eaten by wild beasts or easily killed by the aborigines. If we move some people here, I can also let them raise some cattle and sheep for me, and build a house for me, or do we really want to let Dian Feng sleep in the open?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "I asked Aiqing to patrol Harr on my behalf because Aiqing just said that sending officials to migrate and civilize the local barbarians would save a lot of national money than sending troops to immigrate. Therefore, I deliberately asked Aiqing to patrol Har. Your Majesty will go and test it first, so you cannot send these soldiers, and even if you send them, they cannot exceed 500 standard soldiers. If you want to immigrate, I can use your own gold and silver to raise people to move to the border, so the court does not have to waste money and food in vain."
Zhu Youxiao said, "Yuan Aiqing, I issued an edict to the world to encourage scholars and people to leave the customs. As long as the people of the world leave the customs, as long as they successfully register and register, they can get basic subsidies such as potatoes, grain seeds, sheep, etc., and they can also The newly established Ministry of Agriculture will issue detailed rules as to how much the land will be divided, and it will be revealed to the world at that time."
Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Shen Weibing: "This is the only way I can help you. After you go, you must use your own methods to successfully educate the foreigners who have been living outside the pass for generations, so that the imperial court can Minimum expenditure is required to develop these places.”
"yes!"
Shen Weibing still looked embarrassed.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneer in his heart and said: "I have to let you conservatives who prevent the imperial court from increasing military expenditures and preventing the imperial court from expanding externally in the name of serving the country and the people, know some words. You can’t talk nonsense, and if you say it, you have to be prepared to bear the price of saying it!”
…
"Your Majesty, the Etiquette Department has reported to Xue Guoguan during the incident, saying that Shen Weibing is not knowledgeable, has a loyal character, and does not know how to adapt. He may not be qualified for the position of governor of Chahar and envoy of Northeastern Confucianism, so he remonstrates."
Although Shen Weibing didn't dare to resist the order, he had other options.
After leaving the Privy Council, he bribed the officials of the Etiquette Department, who had always been greedy for corruption, to give advice to Xue Guoguan, who was involved in the matter.
Therefore, Liu Hongxun, the minister of political affairs on duty, reported to Zhu Youxiao that the etiquette department had reported to Xue Guoguan during the incident.
Because the Liu Ke Lang Yan Guan was responsible for supervising the decision-making of hundreds of officials, the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall had to report directly to the emperor for the memorials of the Liu Ke Lang Yan Guan.
Zhu Youxiao is now waiting to find some reasons to exile more civil servants outside the customs, hoping to develop the customs in the future, increase the population outside the customs, and make strategic preparations for the future invasion of Tsarist Russia from the east.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao, who had not lost his temper for a long time, suddenly became furious.
boom!
Zhu Youxiao slammed the memorial in his hand on the table and shouted loudly: "This is a clique for personal gain! The decree to appoint Shen Weibing as the governor of Chahar and the Confucian envoy has not yet been issued from the cabinet to the Secretary of General Affairs, he Xue Guoguan Regarding the matter of Ben's participation in the concert, who gave him the advance notice? Draw up an order to send Xue Guoguan and Shen Weibing to Zhao Prison for strict trial!"
Liu Hongxun couldn't help but trembled all over.
Shen Weibing was also concerned and confused. He only wanted to avoid going to the inaccessible Chahar in this severe winter. Therefore, he forgot this detail and was anxious to let Xue Guoguan speak for him. Xue Guoguan was also more senior and official than himself. Shen Weibing, who was tall, urged and careless, but he did not expect to wait until the General Secretary's decree came down before reporting it, so Zhu Youxiao caught such a shortcoming.
In fact, the courtiers gave Zhu You a lot of lessons every day, but it was not always the case that he missed them.
But the emperor often turned a blind eye and never thought about causing panic among people.
It's just that now the emperor Zhu Youxiao has a deeper purpose, so he seems to be so careless as Xue Guoguan.
Therefore, even if Xue Guoguan made no mistakes in this matter, the emperor would find other mistakes and drive these people out of the pass.
However, Zhu Youxiao was not targeting Xue Guoguan and Shen Weibing.
Now he can be regarded as an emperor with great power. To be honest, a governor with the title of minister and a member of the etiquette department are both involved, so it is not necessary to specifically target him as an emperor.
Unless you are someone like Hai Rui who directly criticizes Dragon Scales, even if you are a junior official, you will still attract the emperor's attention.
Zhu Youxiao had a bigger plan for sending Xue Guoguan and Shen Weibing to Zhao Prison. He wanted to use these two people as bait, waiting for other dovish ministers who were upright and outspoken but did not support the war to take the bait.
