"If we fight now, Ming Dynasty will lose. Even if we win, we will lose." Wu Baipeng answered Tan Lun's question.
Tan Lun asked, when there was a conflict between Daming and Anda Khan, what was the chance of victory for Daming, but Wu Baipeng's answer was that it was difficult for Daming to win, and even if he won, he would lose. Daming would lose, and Beilu would lose. This is a lose-lose situation.
The previous 25 years of conflict also proved this point, so after the fierce conflict, the Longqing peace talks were held, and I agreed to pay tribute.
Wu Baipeng and Tan Lun communicated in detail about the problems.
Based on past experience, Wu Baipeng pointed out that Beibei's strength lies in its ability to escape, so it can survive forever, its strength lies in not knowing its traces, and its strength lies in the fact that it can't be found at all if it burrows into the grassland and desert. , cannot be killed cleanly, just like weeds, they grow again in the spring breeze.
When this happens, there is a gap in mobility. It is as strong as that of Emperor Cheng Zuwen of the Ming Dynasty. Five Northern Expeditions and the following three failed to achieve very good results, because the Beibei discovered that as long as they did not have direct contact with the Ming army, after they escaped, the Ming Dynasty could not do anything to them. . When Anda Khan and Tuman Khan were trading with the Ming Dynasty, they did not sell war horses or stallions at all, just to maintain this leadership in strategic mobility.
By going out to fight, the Ming Dynasty gained too little and sacrificed too much. As long as the war started, it would definitely lose.
"There is an actuarial style in the court." Wu Baipeng elaborated on his second reason. He said with great regret: "Under the actuarial style, the imperial court successively lost Jiaozhi, Daningwei, Nuergandusi, and Hetao. It was a loss to the capital. In Bei Ya, if we are in Nan Ya, I am afraid that even the ground under our feet will be calculated out."
Wu Baipeng is not joking. Ever since the capital was moved in the 19th year of Yongle, public opinion about the Ming Dynasty's southward migration has not stopped. In the 14th year of Zhengtong, after the Tumubao incident, the southward movement faction headed by Xu Youzhen advocated moving back to Nanya. , to avoid the sharp edge of Wala.
Wu Baipeng said very clearly: "There is actually some truth to such a common actuarial trend. Regardless of the place of control in Nuergandusi, as far as Hetao is concerned, if the court did not invest a lot of manpower and material resources, Hetao would be nothing more than It’s just a piece of grassland. Similarly, the land gained during the Ming Dynasty’s Northern Expedition was just a land of control, and its products were not allowed to enter the hinterland. The Ming Dynasty’s military power could not be invested in the grassland, and it would not last long.”
"So, there has to be a way."
Why call back? They are all areas with negative profits, and taking them back will also eat into the imperial court's finances. The imperial court is extremely poor. How can there be money and food to support the newly occupied territories beyond the Great Wall? The land that was conquered was all in areas that needed poverty alleviation, so naturally it did not receive widespread support.
There is a Tao Tu Mountain in Daningwei. The white soil of Tao Tu Mountain can effectively rinse wool, degrease the wool, remove odors, and make it brighter, whiter, and easier to dye. This is why Daningwei is widely recognized.
But if we continue to fight, we need a reason and a profit. If we can't even get three feet of water in a year, how can we farm and maintain a long-term occupation? If we rely on the hinterland for support, does the hinterland really have no objections? Even if everyone in the hinterland can donate blood for the sake of the country and the dynasty, the problem is that the hinterland is now full of contradictions and has no spare capacity to support them.
Building roads requires conscription of labor, and labor requires food for people. The historical lessons of Hu Yuan's barbaric management of the Yellow River are still vivid in our minds.
Developing a place that is likely to lose money is still too difficult for the Ming Dynasty, which did not have a complete fiscal and taxation system and was surrounded by tax-avoiding gentry.
"I heard that recently, some people are clamoring for the abolition of the city's shipping offices in Songjiang, Fujian and Guangzhou." Wu Baipeng felt a headache when he talked about this. If the city's rates office drew six out of 100, they would be opposed. , and there was a loud voice of opposition. Countless mouthpieces were clamoring against the imperial court's desire to sell official silk and collect taxes.
Tan Lun shook his head and said: "Don't pay attention to it, it's just noisy."
Because of Guangmao's memorial, the imperial court is now preparing to go to Ryukyu to help the King of Ryukyu pacify the Japanese. This pacification is to increase the inflow of white silver and reduce the number of middlemen who make the difference. Under such circumstances, the Metropolitan Rating Office should be abolished and the Japanese government should be eliminated. What water keeper? Without a navy, what can we do to keep the sea routes open? Without a navy, what can be done to ensure the security of the Ming Dynasty?
Therefore, Tan Lun's evaluation is noisy.
In fact, it was not just the government's tax office, but also opposition to the government's clearing, returning land, cultivating, and tax house inspections, etc., believing that the imperial court was harshly criticizing the wealthy gentry, which might cause serious trouble.
"Let's talk about using troops on the grassland." Wu Baipeng said with a frown: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is that the mixed population of Hu and Han people in the northwest leads to many spies operating in the northwest."
Wu Baipeng is the governor of Xuanda, so he naturally knows the local situation. Are Zhang Siwei and his associates the only ones who secretly smuggled and traded with An Dahan? Not really.
Shanxi merchants were not only Zhang Siwei, but also Wang Chonggu, Yang Bo, and many other Shanxi merchants who were involved in smuggling trade with the northwest barbarians. The appearance of Zhang Siwei was no accident.
The reason for the failure of the Ming Dynasty was the same as in the past. The result of the Ming Dynasty's use of force against Anda Khan was that Anda Khan knew every move of the Ming soldiers as if he had opened his eyes. The fundamental reason for this situation was the social background where Hu and Han people lived together.
This is also the main reason why Wu Baipeng advocates reconciliation with Sanniangzi and other peacemakers. Only by expanding official trade can the smuggling trade be significantly reduced, making it easier to crack down.
Tan Lun and Wu Baipeng chatted for a long time before ending the meeting.
Wu Baipeng went to see Zhang Juzheng again, and was finally summoned by the emperor to confront him in the Wenhua Palace. After Wu Baipeng received the clear edict, he planned to return to Xuanfu.
Zhu Yijun agreed with Wu Baipeng's proposal, but still rejected Anda Khan's various ideas of asking for a gold seal, allowing the three wives to come to Beijing to pay tribute, and expanding border trade.
On April 13th, the fifth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty's court meeting began. Tan Lun, who had been absent from the court meeting for ten days, finally returned to the Wenhua Hall, looking much better. After seeing the ceremony, the ministers sat down and prepared for the court meeting.
"Is Da Sima cured?" Wan Shihe was concerned about Tan Lun's health.
Tan Lun said somewhat helplessly: "I'm not sick."
"Ten days of rest without illness?" Wan Shihe replied immediately.
"Okay, I'm sick and I'll recover." Tan Lun gave up the argument.
The entire capital thought that Tan Lun was ill, and that he was seriously ill. Many courtiers went to Tan Lun's residence to visit him. Since everyone said that he was ill, he would just admit it.
Why should I rest for ten days if I'm not sick?
"Da Sima, you must take good care of your body." Zhu Yijun expressed concern for Tan Lun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern and love." Tan Lun hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him. The emperor of today is so cold and ungrateful. The scene of the little emperor wearing the wrong shoes to the Jieguyuan with unkempt hair really made Tan Lun have mixed feelings. Although His Majesty is violent and loves killing, He still loves his subjects very much.
"The Sanniang will enter the court the day after tomorrow, and Chen Xixue, the minister of Honglu Temple, will still handle the matter." Zhang Juzheng turned out the first memorial, looked at Ma Ziqiang, and explained the task. The Sanniang approved it before entering the court, and it spread to the northwest. The lady entered the court very quickly, and she should arrive the day after tomorrow.
"The third lady has brought some beauties and they will all be given to the emperor's uncle." Zhu Yijun made a supplementary explanation.
When the Third Lady entered the court, she specially brought Hailar from the grassland, also known as the Pearl of the Grassland, a total of thirteen people. The purpose of bringing these Hailars was naturally to participate in the emperor's wedding ceremony, the wedding of the suzerain country, and the vassal country does not mean it is still a vassal state. country?
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty would not accept her, but the Third Lady would have to take her, so that she would have a serious reason to enter the capital.
"I obey the order." Ma Ziqiang obeyed his leader's order.
Who said that His Majesty criticized the clan harshly and had no close friendship? Zhu Zaiyu, the eldest son of Prince Zheng, was the first to refuse to accept it. At present, Zhu Zaiyu is still not King De. It was not that Prince De’s palace refused to give up the word De, but that he was his relative. Dad is still alive, and Zhu Zaiyu will not be crowned king until his father dies.
Therefore, Zhu Zaiyu's residence is Prince De's Palace, but Zhu Zaiyu does not have the title of Prince De.
Just like the title of Prince Mu's Mansion is actually Duke of Guizhou, but everyone is accustomed to calling him Prince Mu's Mansion. It has no name but real status, and everyone is treated as a prince according to the etiquette.
"Da Sima has been absent for more than ten days, and everything in the Ministry of War is normal, especially the raising of military supplies and armaments to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty. The Ministry of Household Affairs is preparing to recruit 70,000 landless tenants as laborers before August to accompany the army to Daning Guard. , transporting grain, armaments, digging trenches, building bridges and other engineering construction matters." Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun explained the court's actions during his absence for more than ten days.
This is a long-established national policy. To conquer the northwest of Rouge and attack the northeast, we still need to completely drive the Tuman Khan out of Liaodong to prevent the possibility of the Tuman Khan and the Jiannu becoming a military alliance.
The war machine of the Ming Dynasty has begun to turn again. The preparations for military rations and ordnance have been carried out for four months. The preparations will continue until the crisp autumn weather of September. In September, the Ming Dynasty’s Beijing Camp will once again go to Daning Guard. It will still be the rogue war of the past. Fa, wait until it snows.
The war will not start suddenly, it must be foreshadowed.
The Ming Dynasty still wanted to attack the Tuman Khan. It first rejected the Tuman Khan's request for another mutual trade. The last wool trade was a great success. The Tuman Khan wanted to continue the trade with the Ming Dynasty, but was rejected. This was economic. Blockade means no longer expressing goodwill towards the target.
The Ming Dynasty asked Sanniangzi to come to Beijing not only to appease Anda Khan's dissatisfaction with not getting the gold seal, but also to communicate with Sanniangzi and stabilize the northwest.
No longer goodwill towards the target, diplomatic coordination to prevent a two-front war, this is the political level.
At the military level, we prepared grain and ordnance, recruited the Daning Guards who transported grain and grass, the scouts of the Beijing camp, and the Marquis of Duntai Yuan rushed to the front line to inspect the enemy's situation, and ordered Miyun, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan to guard carefully, and the Beijing camp and the three The town began to coordinate and Li Chengliang made preparations to go to Zhangwu.
At the social level, the supervisory censors of the Ming Dynasty's Metropolitan Procuratorate began to go out of the capital to issue instructions. For example, they were not allowed to go to Daning Guards, repair city walls, or inspect armaments in the near future to prevent the Ming army's possible frontline defeat and the consequences of a major rout in the capital. Shock, this is an open action, while unopened actions include counting people, making preparations to recruit guest soldiers, transporting grain and grass, arresting spies, etc.
The Ming Dynasty couldn't hide the fact that it wanted to use force. Therefore, Wang Rulong, the commander-in-chief of Daning, had completely entered a wartime state to prevent the barbarians from jumping over the wall. This was also the reason why Li Chengliang went to Zhangwu.
All these preparations were carried out under the auspices of Zhang Juzheng. When Zhang Juzheng was in court, the emperor Zhu Yijun said that there must be light. Then after the court approved it, there will be light. He, the emperor, said that he would attack Quanning Guards. , completely drove the Tuman Khan out of Liaodong. After approval by the court, the war machine of the Ming Dynasty began to rotate.
Zhu Yijun also remembered the battle when Li Chengliang wanted to go out of Fushun Pass to pacify Gule Village and capture the rebel chief Gao alive. It was the first war in the Ming Dynasty that went out for many years, and Zhang Juzheng prepared Qi Jiguang's Jingying, Chen Dacheng and other three towns for Li Chengliang. Two reserve forces of the army gathered at Shanhaiguan to serve as backup to prevent changes.
When Zhang Juzheng presides over military affairs, he is always extremely well prepared and reassuring.
Before Zhang Juzheng's death, Li Chengliang had always been a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but after that, Li Chengliang began to cling to his position and play favorites with the enemy to ensure his own status. This was certainly because Li Chengliang was not a subject, and it was also related to the change of power in the court. Great relationship.
Zhang Juzheng carried out the arrangements in an orderly manner. Zhu Yijun did not say a word, but kept writing and taking notes. If there was something he did not understand, he marked it and waited until the lecture after the court meeting to ask in detail. Zhu Yijun was copying his homework. , learn how to handle state affairs.
"As for the Eastern Conquest of Japan." Zhang Juzheng frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please wait and think about your strategy."
"Sir, don't you agree to attack the Japanese country?" Zhu Yijun asked strangely. Last time, Hu Kedu made a special report to Guangmao about his opposition to the whipping method. He cited one reason: the Ming Dynasty was poor in silver and the silver route was not in the Ming Dynasty. Under control, if you rely on the inexhaustible things of the Ming Dynasty to carry out the New Deal, there will inevitably be mistakes.
Later, during the question and answer process, Guang Mao came to the conclusion of attacking Japan. At that time, Zhang Juzheng agreed with Guang Mao's statement based on the position that Ming Dynasty must control the silver route by itself.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, attacking the Japanese country will probably take decades, and it will be difficult to do it in the short term."
The Ming Dynasty's public opinion has a terrible actuarial atmosphere, and there is also a utilitarian atmosphere. If no results are seen in the short term, it will be widely opposed, and then the decrees will die out and will no longer be mentioned. Based on this utilitarian atmosphere, Some long-term policies are difficult to implement.
Talk about a great cause for a thousand years. After a thousand years, you, me and he will be gone, so what about the future?
But the attack on the Japanese country cannot be rushed. The end result of rushing for quick success is that it cannot be done.
During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang established the ancestral law of fifteen countries that would not be conquered. The Ming Dynasty would not capture Japanese countries and solve the Japanese problem once and for all. This seemed to be limited by the ancestral law. However, this ancestral law was as early as the early years of Yongle. , was destroyed.
The British Duke Zhang Fu moved to Ping'an South, established the Thirteen Divisions of Jiaozhi, and transformed Jiaozhi into counties. The Annan Kingdom was also a country that did not conquer during the fifteenth year. Didn't Emperor Cheng Zuwen of the Ming Dynasty still fight?
In fact, as early as the Jiajing period, when Japanese invasions were widespread, courtiers proposed various methods to attack the Japanese homeland once and for all.
The core force of the Japanese pirates is the Japanese pirates. Although the wings are the Ming Dynasty's desperadoes, the people who hire them are the powerful powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, and Huang Qing, the commander of the capital, once submitted a memorial to hire Fo Langji to attack the Japanese country. In the 39th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing approved their memorial, but the result was that there was no follow-up. Folangji was Why do you have to fight for Daming? It is in their interest to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits.
These two guys accepted bribes and ceded territory, but were eventually expelled by Yin Zhengmao, who was free. The two men were impeached by Yin Zhengmao for corruption, and were finally executed on charges of losing their land.
In the 19th year of Wanli, it was a turbulent year. Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who claimed to be a man of the world, wrote to the Korean king Li He, asking the Korean king to break away from the Ming vassal and pay tribute to the Japanese country. The Japanese country followed suit, but the Korean king refused, triggering The first Japanese invasion of Korea.
Also in this year, the Ming Dynasty began to collect a lot of information about the Japanese state. For example, in April of the 19th year of Wanli, Fujian maritime merchant Chen Shen reported that the Japanese slaves built ships and recruited troops, and invaded the country. In July, the governor of Zhejiang, Chang Ju Jinghe, The governor of Fujian, Zhao Canlu, once again reported the Japanese invasion in the southeast, and the Ming Dynasty began to prepare for the Japanese invasion quickly.
Emperor Wanli had already begun to frustrate the situation at that time, but regarding the matter of preparing for Japanese aggression, Emperor Wanli still personally issued many edicts and strictly supervised the matter. He also ordered his ministers and ministers to submit strategies to prepare for Japanese aggression. Liu Jiwen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, reported to the Government: The plot of the invasion of Japanese slaves is known to the Japanese pirates in Guangdong and barbarians. They were ordered to capture and kill Guan Bai and offer them as gifts, with heavy rewards and bribes. This was especially a strategy to eliminate the trouble and stabilize the country.
Guan Bai means "reporter", which is the prime minister of the Japanese country. This word comes from "Huo Guang Zhuan" in the Han Dynasty. It means that all major events in the world at that time were first reported to Huo Guang and then to the emperor, which was equivalent to being the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty and being in charge of the country.
As for the people of the world, they are the first people in the world. Oda Nobunaga was the first, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the second.
Liu Jiwen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, meant that whoever could kill Toyotomi Hideyoshi and submit it to the court would be rewarded heavily. Emperor Wanli approved this memorial, and then people from all over the country began to report that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had been killed, and the court was in a state of panic. Shaanxi Province reported that a god dreamed of killing Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
When Qiu Junqing died, he heard that Ping Hideyoshi was about to join the Japanese invaders. He was still angry and wrote a letter to the governor of Zhejiang. He wrote the story of the Han Dynasty's building and boat in the sea and Zhang Zhongwei. The viewers commented that this Qiu Junqing was a gentry. He heard about the Japanese invasion and left a suicide note. He told the governor of Zhejiang that he must build a large ship capable of crossing the ocean to demonstrate the country's prestige.
At that time, there was also a farce in which Siam, Ryukyu and other countries were ordered to join forces to attack the Japanese country and jointly conquer the Japanese eastward expedition.
In this farce, there is also a deceitful man Cheng Peng, who first deceived the governor of Zhejiang, then deceived the Minister of War, and finally deceived Emperor Wanli. This Cheng Peng deceived Shi Xing, the Minister of War, saying that he was very familiar with Siam and could serve as an envoy. He went there, defrauded Emperor Wanli of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and then went to sea. After going to sea, there was no news again.
After the Ming Dynasty first aided Korea, it began to prepare to destroy the Japanese, and formulated extremely detailed plans and timetables. For example, it issued an order to North Korea, asking North Korea to prepare to go to war with the Ming Dynasty. North Korea refused because people were not used to foreign affairs. The order of the court.
Siam was too far away, and Ryukyu had been invaded by the Japanese at that time. The final move to destroy the Japanese could not be carried out due to the actuarial wind.
Emperor Wanli wanted to destroy the Japanese very much. He was a spoiled king and was indifferent to everything, but he always took action to destroy the Japanese. However, the Ming Dynasty's national power had begun to weaken at that time, and he simply did not have the ability to do it.
"Just a few decades. I'll eat and drink well and try to live until that time." Zhu Yijun made a joke that wasn't very funny and continued: "Sir, what's your clever plan? Can you tell me in detail?"
Zhang Juzheng stood up, came to the official screen and said: "I think there is no urgency to destroy the Japanese. There are several reasons for the urgency: First, the Ming Navy has not crossed the ocean for more than 150 years. , the current combat power of the navy is still insufficient; secondly, our Ming Dynasty has exhausted its troops after traveling to the Japanese country, and the Japanese pirates are waiting for work; thirdly, the Japanese country has a population of nine million and more than 200,000 soldiers. How many strong soldiers are needed to destroy it? Japanese? We still need to strengthen our military strength."
"This can't be rushed."
"If we want to destroy the Japanese, I have a long-term strategy, and I would like to ask His Majesty to judge."
"Sir, please speak." Zhu Yijun agreed very much with Zhang Juzheng's statement that the Japanese pirates were in a hurry. During the Jiajing period, there was a Japanese invasion. During the Wanli period, he entered the DPRK twice to fight, and both were defeated. If the Japanese pirates were easy to fight, the Wanli Emperor, who was very successful in history, would do it. .
"I have the "Chapter of Strategies to Destroy the Nests, Sweep the Lairs and Exterminate the Japanese". Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial.
After Zhu Yijun read it, he asked Zhang Hong to copy a copy and put it in the fourth window of the military science display in the side hall of Wenhua Palace. If future generations don't know it, they can just copy it.
Zhang Juzheng's long-term strategy for destroying the Japanese was a bit vicious in the eyes of Zhu Yijun, an emperor who was as bad as Wang Qian.
"The Ming Dynasty didn't know the situation of the Japanese island, and it didn't know anything about the hydrology and geography. How to destroy the Japanese?" Zhang Juzheng held his hands and said: "The Japanese country has many people from Fujian and Guangzhou, so they can respond, deal with it, and inquire about the island situation."
"I request permission to allow merchant ships to go to the Japanese country to collect intelligence for the purpose of destroying the Japanese. Allow merchants of the Ming Dynasty to set up various trading houses in the Japanese country, and send people to various parts of the Japanese country. Geographical surveying, mountains and rivers, and troop deployment along the coast can be used to deceive others. , also available for investigation expenses.”
Zhu Yijun understood what Zhang Juzheng meant. The merchants were doing spies carefully to investigate the affairs of the Japanese country. He frowned and said: "This matter should not be publicized. It only needs one person to sort it out carefully and send it to the capital. But I am really having trouble selecting this person."
"Sun Keyi, the Sun family of Songjiang, has been favored by the country. It is feasible to leave this matter to Sun Keyi." Since Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, he naturally had a candidate, and he also chose Sun Keyi, the richest man in Songjiang. Sun Keyi, the richest man, relied on the strong government decree to let Sun Keyi do the job. This dirty job is the most suitable.
And Sun Keyi is also a maritime businessman.
Is Sun Keyi happy? His foundation is in the Ming Dynasty, so he has to be willing to do so even if he is not willing to do so. Moreover, Zhang Juzheng specifically wrote to Songjiang Governor Wang Daokun to find out that Sun Keyi was willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, and he did so sincerely, and was not afraid of the imperial court's punishment.
When the Japanese invaders invaded Songjiang Mansion, had it not been for the prompt rescue of Luo Gongchen, the commander of coastal defense, Sun Keyi would have died in the hands of the Japanese pirates before he could wait for Xu Jie's unlucky day.
The eradication of Japanese pirates had broad public support in the Ming Dynasty. This was not the wishful thinking of the imperial court. The southeastern coast had been harassed by Japanese pirates for decades, and every family had blood debts and every household had mortal enemies.
Yin Zhengmao, the powerful powerful right-wingers and rich gentry in Guangdong and Guangxi, said that he wanted money to defeat the Japanese bandits. Although ten thousand of them were reluctant, they still accepted the donation, took out the money, and put the knife on their necks. On the one hand, on the other hand, you really have to help to quell the Japanese pirates, otherwise you can't quell the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates will really kill your whole family.
"Well, that's it, Sir, continue." Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up. Zhang Juzheng would never hit the target without aim. Since the emperor said he wanted to destroy the Japanese, he would make careful preparations, instead of letting His Majesty's decree be like a piece of paper.
Zhang Juzheng looked at the Kanyu map and continued: "This has lasted at least more than ten years. Is it possible that these more than ten years have been wasted in this way? Of course not."
"The Japanese slave thief chief Oda Nobunaga has rebelled against nature and abused his people. It has been a long time since I heard about the resentment of the islands. The daimyo of the islands have united to besiege the thief chief several times, but they have not been able to make it. They have united with the Japanese to oppose the organization. It’s a good idea to use the power of the Tian family to exploit the internal conflicts between them.”
It is the instinct and passive skill of a scholar to be provocative inside and out. Zhang Juzheng will certainly use the principle of dividing internal contradictions and breaking them one by one.
"In more than ten years of exploring the enemy's situation from top to bottom, we not only have to strengthen our troops, but also constantly support various groups within the Japanese country, that is, various leaders of civil unrest, so that the Japanese country has no time to take care of itself. ." Zhang Juzheng's protrusions are not only on the top floor of the building, but also on the foundation.
First, it was an uprising of the Japanese country. They rebelled if they could not survive. The same was true for the Japanese. So supporting various leaders, turning small things into big things, and multiplying big things was the dirty part of Zhang Juzheng's strategy, and it was necessary to amplify various contradictions and amplify them. Zhang Juzheng had a lot in his hands. After all, what Ming scholars were best at was magnification.
Wang Chonggu took out a square towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he thought that he was Zhang Juzheng's political opponent, he sweated for no reason.
Zhang Juzheng's gameplay, not to mention the Japanese country, even the Ming Dynasty, had to play to death. Being a political enemy with Zhang Juzheng was like hanging an old man because he was too long-lived.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said: "Okay, sir, please continue."
"In the past ten years, in addition to picking on each other, I have cultivated friends and relatives. The Japanese country has nearly nine million people. If I want to kill all the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, I will have to curl up the blade. , so it is better for these friends to use barbarians to control barbarians." Zhang Juzheng added: "These close and admired friends can play a role before, during, and after the Ming Dynasty's attack."
"Before the attack, we can provide convenient information for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. During the attack, we can provide the Ming Dynasty with information about the Japanese slaves and thieves and understand their movements. After that, we can use the Japanese to control the foreigners and use the Japanese to control the Japanese."
"I admire my friends." Zhu Yijun shook his head. Zhang Juzheng said this very nicely, but in fact he was cultivating Japanese traitors.
At this time, there were quite a few Japanese people who admired the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese country. This was in conjunction with the activities of Ming merchants in the Japanese country. Zhang Juzheng's plan to destroy the Japanese highlighted a plan and then a decision, and highlighted a chain of links.
Zhang Juzheng actually summed it up through long-term practice. These tricks are not unusual. They are deceitful. All of these tricks must be used on the Japanese country.
"The Japanese people of the Japanese country are short, and they have been boating to the Mingdu tribe since ancient times, hoping to grow taller. However, the Japanese boats are small and weak and cannot withstand the wind and waves, so the Japanese women are allowed to enter the Mingdu tribe, but once they come, they cannot go back." Zhang Juzheng's voice was a bit low. , he also knew that as the chief minister of the country and the imperial master, it was a bit too vicious to teach the young emperor such tricks in front of the emperor.
Zhang Juzheng's last vicious plan was human trafficking, and it was a special trade in women.
The Japanese country has a long history of breeding, but it is difficult for Japanese ships to reach the Ming Dynasty. All women are brought to the Ming Dynasty, firstly to alleviate the imbalance in the number of men and women in the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, to change the Japanese country's breeding.
As long as the court acquiesced, the profit-seeking merchants of the Ming Dynasty would not give up until the women of Japan were left empty-handed.
Even the Japanese no longer exist in the Japanese country, so is there still a Japanese country?
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
