After Zhu Yijun said something sternly, Cai Shiding hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this is unbenevolent and inconsistent with the new etiquette. If the soldiers and the people are innocent, how can they be forced to live in the frontier and be exiled together? "
"These Han people are living well in our Han land of Luzon and are unwilling to leave. Can Weng Yuanbo and Liu Bulang force them to leave and temporarily live on a deserted island at sea?"
Zhu Yijun then asked.
Cai Shiding suddenly realized that he had fallen into the pit dug by the emperor because he was afraid of being promoted to the vast sea. For a moment, he didn't know how to argue anymore. He was just sweating.
"I think you are the one who deceives me and treats me as a tool for your personal revenge!"
"According to Jin Yiwei's memorial, the reason why many people are unwilling to leave during the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Luzon is that many people with ulterior motives deliberately instigated the Han merchants and people to trust foreign officials rather than the emperor's ministers."
"I think you, Cai Shiding, are that kind of person!"
"In passing the decree, Cai Shiding deceived the emperor and slandered the imperial envoy. He also confused right and wrong, confused merit and demerit, and had a strong intention to harm the atmosphere of the court. He also regarded going out to perform meritorious service as a crime. It can be said that he has no country and a truly evil mind. So he was dragged out, abandoned in the market, and beheaded!"
"His whole family was exiled to Sheliao Island to set an example, and to make the world's gentry correct their family traditions. Don't talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but they have forgotten all about benevolence, righteousness, and morality! For the sake of selfishness, do not risk the lives of your compatriots. In my heart!”
Zhu Yijun directly issued a new decree at this time.
He has to kill Cai Shiding, who confuses right and wrong, and cannot expect him to correct himself.
As for Cai Shiding's tribe, he had to be implicated and make him pay the price for developing such a tribe member to serve as an official and become the mouthpiece of his comprador class.
As for why Sheliao Island was exiled, it was not because Sheliao Island had just been massacred by Xiyi and there were no natives left, so a group of Han people needed to be moved there as soon as possible to cultivate and live there.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
Cai Shiding was then dragged down, and he shouted in great uneasiness. Soon, he was beheaded in the city with a sharp knife.
Cai Shiding's elder brother Cai Shihe and others were also exiled to Sheliao Island in the 17th year of Wanli.
"How could the emperor do this! The Han people were massacred, and instead of punishing mediocre officials like Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu who did not do their job well, he exiled us. How is this different from a foolish emperor?"
As a result, Cai Shihe also cursed in his heart while looking at the boundless sea on the way to Sheliao Island when he was exiled to Sheliao Island, and at the same time his eyes shed tears.
At the same time, he also felt very regretful, knowing that he had done something irrational because of the heavy loss of profits, which made the Cai family's situation even worse.
When he thought of this, Cai Shihe couldn't help but shout to the sky: "My Cai family is really finished. Even if the chaos is reversed in the future, there will be no more Cai family in Luzon!"
After saying that, Cai Shihe jumped directly into the sea. After fluttering for a long time, there was no movement.
…
"Why are you crying? Can crying change the emperor of the world?!"
In the same year as Cai Shiding, the clan behind Huang Juan and the Cai family were the big compradors who colluded with the Spanish who occupied Luzon for smuggling, so Huang Juan cried for Cai Shiding after he was abandoned. While Huang Juan was crying, he had a brother-in-law with him. Zhao Zhihan, the close censor, said this at this time.
Huang Juan said: "Then what do you want me to do! Apart from crying for Mr. Cai, what else can I do? I don't even dare to collect his body!"
"I mean there's no point crying. Cai Taifu also lost his mind because of the heavy losses of the Cai family this time. He was so angry that he didn't dare to vent on Xi Yi. He could only vent on Chen Lin and the others. That's why he Impeach Chen Lin and others as soon as possible."
"But what he forgot is that today there are very smart masters, and even masters who intend to support new nobles to check and balance civil servants. Chen Lin is a member of the team he trained in Jingwei Martial Arts before he took office. Even if he is guilty, he will Covering up!”
"So, he is completely trying to give the emperor a chance to show his favor to his favorite minister."
Zhao Zhihan said.
Huang Juan chuckled: "Don't talk about Mr. Cai, even I hate new parties like Chen Lin. If these new parties didn't only see the profit of subscription tickets and support the emperor's troops in Luzon, how could such a thing happen? My Huang family, he The Cai family and your Zhao family will not suffer heavy losses. A large number of family members who were sent to Luzon to run the industry were killed, and the assets that were not brought back were also taken away. At this time, the domestic situation was just due to speculation on the price of silver coins. A large amount of ancestral property was lost, and a large amount of ancestral property was also lost overseas due to the massacre and plunder of the Yi people!"
Huang Juan said, hugging his head and crying: "We, as a family, were really played by the Francois in Manila this time."
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhihan agreed with a stern expression, and then said with a stern expression: "But even so, we can't fall out with the Xiyi! We can't support the imperial court in using troops against them!"
"Without the cooperation of the Western Yi bureaucrats, people like us would not be able to control many overseas interests; such as firearms, if the court sells them directly, the price will definitely be lower than our smuggling, and it will be easier to monopolize the interests of overseas natives in purchasing firearms; As for ordinary tea, cloth, and porcelain, those of us who only know how to lend money and collect rent are not as skilled as ordinary people who rely on skills to make a living. Therefore, only if the overseas islands are controlled by Western barbarians, can we use Western barbarians to control domestic goods. and even the benefits of the population going overseas.”
"What you are saying is that you only have Chen Lin and Liu Yingqiu to blame. Even if you vent your anger on the emperor and enjoy your success, you cannot blame Xi Yi!"
"We must try our best to let people in the world know that there are many kind-hearted people in the Western Yi. They are Confucian scholars from the West, not bloodthirsty barbarians."
Huang Juan stopped crying and replied.
Zhao Zhihan sighed: "It's a pity that the imperial court is now organizing officials everywhere to preach about how bad Xiyi is, and about Huangshan. Many New Party officials forced officials from the academy to organize people to tell the story over and over again, even to those far away in the southwest. People in Yangming Academy are saying that many of the sergeants who are in the process of reforming their native land and returning home are now being forced to learn about the Huangshan Incident."
"This is the essence of the new etiquette implemented by the imperial court. In name, it is to treat the people more benevolently and pay attention to the friendship between compatriots. In fact, it is to preach that the interests of the country and the nation are above all else, so as to conveniently take advantage of us. Otherwise, Why is it that now the emperor will kill Duke Cai if he wants to, but no one in the whole court dares to speak out? It’s because the more the new etiquette is implemented, the more the emperor can rule the world by himself!"
"Because there are too many people in this land, and everyone treats each other with courtesy, it means that everyone can not treat each other with courtesy!"
"Etiquette is used to determine superiority and inferiority, not to talk about benevolence!"
Zhao Zhihan continued to speak, and then hammered the table sadly.
"Is there really no way to stop this?"
Huang Juan asked.
Zhao Zhihan said: "The only way is to change the emperor! Now the emperor has allowed the new party to gain power, so the new etiquette has become popular. However, the old etiquette has not been completely eliminated, it has just been suppressed temporarily. If the new emperor supports the old etiquette, the old etiquette will naturally rise again. .”
"That said, there is still hope. There is no immortal emperor in this world."
"No matter how powerful the Qin Emperor and the Han Martial Arts are, they are nothing but dust after all."
"That's right! I hope there is more!"
