Ming Dynasty, Beijing. Jinluan Palace.
The envoys composed of Jiannu and Mongolians are making nonsense.
At this time, most of the officials' faces were red, and some of them were tightly wrapped by soldiers, so they did not come forward to beat the envoys who established the slaves.
There are also some officials who are scolding the envoys across the channel.
But more officials, although their faces turned red with anger, still chose to remain silent.
"How could we not understand you, Ming Dynasty, you are a bunch of self-righteous ***.
Xiangbi, after you regain Liaodong and occupy North Korea, these civilian officials will begin to kill and capture military generals.
Although our Houjin and Mongolian coalition forces were defeated, you just relied on your numbers. In the Japanese country, we recruited millions of troops and could attack the capital at any time.
When the time comes, kill your people and throw them into your ancestral graves.
Don't think it's impossible. During the Jiajing period, less than a hundred Japanese pirates attacked the gates of Nanjing, making Nanjing's 120,000 defenders afraid to act rashly. When millions of us attack your Ming Dynasty, how can your Ming Dynasty be immortal?
However, we don’t want to increase the number of killings. As long as your Ming Dynasty pays us tribute of 20 million silver coins, 30 million stones of food and grass, and 3,000 beauties every year, we can reluctantly honor your kingdom. "
These envoys said it with great joy. ,
In fact, they felt guilty, but after staying in Jinyiwei's prison for a long time, although they were not punished, they also saw the horror of the Ming Dynasty's punishment.
Since this was taught to them by the commander of the Jin Yiwei, they naturally did not dare to modify it randomly.
After all, they don't want to try the experience of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
In fact, they were waiting for the Ming Emperor on the dragon throne to speak, in which case they could stop. However, less than half an hour had passed, and the Ming Emperor had not said anything, and they did not dare to stop, for fear of Being settled by Qiu Hou.
"Send the envoy down." Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Youjian said calmly.
Following Zhu Youjian's order, a group of guards rushed in, tied up the envoys and dragged them out of the Jinluan Palace.
"Dear ladies, what's going on? Why are your faces so red? Is it a happy event or are you angry?"
On the dragon chair, Zhu Youjian asked with a smile.
Although Zhu Youjian has been on the throne for many years, he has always put the law first. This has led to the fact that the people above the court are still not completely Zhu Youjian's confidants.
Moreover, many civil servants have a bad habit, that is, accepting death. Since the end of the Liaodong battle, every three to five days, there will be people who do not care about life and death and write to Zhu Youjian to withdraw the army.
Especially right after the public opinion meeting, they worked overtime to write a letter expressing their opinion on dismantling the army.
Now seeing these guys being scolded by the slave-establishing envoys for nearly half an hour, how could Zhu Youjian be unhappy?
"Isn't your Majesty asking questions knowingly? These barbarian envoys are so arrogant and trample on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. As officials of the Ming Dynasty, if we are not angry, how can we get up and wear these clothes properly?" replied the Minister of Rites.
"Really? Why can't I feel it? Others are trampling on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty when others curse. When others invade my territory of the Ming Dynasty and slaughter the people of my Ming Dynasty, aren't they trampling on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youjian asked back. road.
"Tell me, who is trampling on someone more seriously by scolding me or wantonly invading my Ming Dynasty's land and slaughtering my Ming Dynasty people?" Zhu Youjian continued to ask,
"This, this..." the Minister of Rites hesitated to speak.
He can't say anything about this. What's good at the top will be bad at the bottom. It's easy to talk about history today, so when officials are free, they will more or less read history books.
Regarding the massacre of Han people by foreign tribes in the past dynasties, they naturally knew how the court officials did it.
As long as the other party relents, for the sake of reality and magnanimity, we will reward you vigorously.
But His Majesty is different from the previous emperors. Who dares to suggest this? Congratulations, you have become a new Hannugan.
Everyone knows how Han women are treated.
He didn't want to become a Han woman, have his family confiscated and his family exterminated, and have to bear the infamy for thousands of years. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./error\./first\./issue~~
"When someone scolds you directly, you will feel ashamed.
How could you not feel ashamed when slaves were raging, foreign races were causing trouble, and they were killing our Ming people everywhere.
When everyone is busy fighting for power, busy forming cliques for personal gain, abolishing the Ming Dynasty's military force in similar ways, and allowing foreigners to bully them wantonly, do you feel that this is embarrassing the country?
I really don’t know if the officials of the former Song Dynasty felt ashamed when they went to court, but I know that those calm guys really had no shame at all. "
"Those who are not from my race must have different hearts. Without a strong army as a foundation, the humiliation of Jingkang and the hatred of Yashan in the former Song Dynasty were not tragic enough?
You can say that you are not from the Song Dynasty and don't care about this, but what about the Ming Dynasty's shame in Liaodong?
How long has it been since then? You have all forgotten, are you all scrambling, hoping that this shame will be repeated in various places in the Ming Dynasty?
Without reform, the Ming Dynasty will perish within twenty years. I am not far away from being the king of the subjugated country. I do not want to see the foreigners wantonly bullying and slaughtering the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I do not want to let the shame of the Song Dynasty's demise reappear on the land of China.
But are those with vested interests willing to give up their own interests?
If I want to reform, it will inevitably affect the interests of countless vested interests. As the saying goes, killing people's money is like killing their parents. Will they follow the reform honestly?
No it won't. They would rather be subjugated slaves than give up their illegal gains.
What reforms can I rely on to bring new vitality to Ming Dynasty, instead of returning to its original glory and then perishing?
Wang Anshi's reform in the former Song Dynasty has already shown that the emperor has no power and will slowly die if he does not reform. He is unwilling to be a slave to the subjugation of the country, and those with vested interests will rush to be a slave to the subjugation of the country.
What is my power, is it you? No, it’s the army in my hand. If there is no strong army, how many powerful people in those places would really regard me as the emperor and the king of a country?
We are all smart people. Ordinary people don’t understand this. Don’t you understand it too? For hundreds of years, ever since Tumu Fortress, you literati have been afraid that the Ming Dynasty’s army would have some fighting power, and that you would not be able to become slaves to the subjugation of your country.
As a result, the empire's elite, military camps became garbage dumps, and the military's combat effectiveness was worse than that of beggars.
The weapons given to the border troops were afraid of hurting the aliens who slaughtered our people. During the Jiajing period, there were less than a hundred Japanese pirates, but they were able to attack Nanjing City. There were 120,000 soldiers under Nanjing City, and they did not dare to leave the city. Can such an army still protect the dignity of the country?
After all this, you still have the nerve to tell me, do you still want Daming’s face?
Since you are all shameless, why should you be angry if someone points your nose at you and scolds you a few times?
If you are not satisfied and want to be slaves to the subjugation of the country, I can help you and send your entire clan to the border so that the foreigners can entertain your clansmen well. In this way, you can realize your wish of becoming slaves and prevent the people in the Ming Dynasty from suffering, okay?
"
"Your Majesty, forgive me. It's because we are short-sighted. It's because we don't know the importance of the army. We will never dare to do it again in the future."
The Ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishments, the Minister of Husbandry, the Minister of Officials, and the Minister of Works all knelt down and shouted in unison. .
