Zhu Yunwen has always believed that if a man loses his masculinity and blood, he is not a man. If a country loses his masculinity and blood, then the country will have no future.
The brightness of the Ming Dynasty is the combination of the sun and the moon, and the sun and the moon are both light.
Light does not allow the blood of darkness to form intricate scabs on the body. It will tell everyone in a shining way that light exists.
Yi Shaozong's death was actually nothing in the context of the anti-Japanese wars of more than 30 years in the early Ming Dynasty.
A small thousand households, nothing more.
But he was a beam of light. With his courage to fight to the end and his unyielding loyalty until death, he told Zhu Yunwen that more active defensive and offensive methods must be adopted to completely eliminate the Japanese pirates!
"Quickly send Tie Xuan, Liu Jun, Yang Rong, Song Sheng, and Li Jian to enter the palace!"
Zhu Yunwen ordered with a gloomy face.
The chamberlain hurriedly went to summon him.
In the main hall, Zhu Yunwen calmed down his anger and said to Xie Jin, Xu Huizu and others: "Yi Shaozong died for the country, and he was the one who killed the Japanese leader. How can the court compensate him?"
Huang Zicheng hesitated and replied: "According to the regulations of the imperial court, the Zhejiang Dusi of the Qiancang Qianhu in Xiangshan is not a member of the Beijing army and has not been included in the new army's policy. The old system should still be used to give his family members a full salary for three years. Considering his military merit, his descendants will be hereditary to the post of Qianhu in Qiancang Qianhu. As for ordinary sergeants..."
Xie Jin immediately objected: "If we follow the old system, it will really harm people's hearts. The officers and men of Qiancang Qianhu will definitely be heartbroken. I sincerely request that we make an exception and use the new army's policy to bury and hold sacrifices."
Huang Zicheng frowned and said: "If this happens, where are the rules of the court? Today is the Qiancang Qianhuo, what about in the future? According to the new army's policy, how much food can the court give out, has Mr. Jie calculated it?"
Jie Jin glared angrily and shouted to Huang Zicheng: "If you don't even dare to do anything like this, then let the sergeants feel cold? On the one hand, the Beijing army is carefree and enjoys the new army's strategies. On the other hand, the soldiers on the front line kill the enemy to death. But it only matches the old imperial system?"
Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. The imperial tax revenue is limited."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slammed the table, interrupting the argument between the two, and said: "The soldiers on the front line bled and lost their lives, but the court ministers are here worrying about money and food? What if this matter spreads to the world? When news of the Xiangshan Money Storehouse reaches the ears of the families of soldiers and soldiers, what do you think they will think?"
"According to regulations, there is nothing wrong with what Mr. Huang said."
Seeing that Yu Xin wanted to speak, Ru Yu quickly jumped in first.
He was about to leave the court, and it didn't matter if he offended the emperor.
The emperor was out of sight and out of mind, and his anger subsided after a while. However, if the emperor disliked Yu Xin, then no one in the cabinet would be Jie Jin's opponent. Then the cabinet's words would be of no benefit to the Ming Dynasty.
Ru Yu successfully attracted Zhu Yunwen's anger: "Then change the regulations!"
"Your Majesty, there is a fixed amount of money and food."
Huang Zicheng hurriedly advised.
At present, the court has to spend money everywhere. Although it has increased money and food, after all, the policy has not been implemented for a long time, and the people's enthusiasm has just become more intense, so they will not increase taxes several times a year.
This requires money for immigration, money for road construction, money for shipbuilding, the new army policy requires money, and money for digging rivers. In the Hongwu year's finances, these expenditures were either very small or non-existent.
There are so many extra expenses suddenly. If it weren't for the solid foundation laid by Mr. Hongwu, thirty years of rest and recuperation, and the strong implementation of new policies, the Ministry of Household Affairs would not be able to keep up with this pace of spending even if it were digging for gold.

Zicheng admits that he is not a cold-blooded person, but the household department is already facing many difficulties at the moment. If the strategy of the new army falls on Xiangshan, what will happen to the many coastal garrison posts that have been plagued by Japanese pirates before? After that, the Japanese pirates invaded the guard station, what were their plans?
Who will pay for this money and food?
You can make bold words, but whether you can solve the problem is the real fundamental.
Huang Zicheng is in charge of the transfer department and knows the financial situation of the transfer department, so he knows that he can't make any more troubles this year.
Zhu Yunwen angrily rebuked: "There is a fixed amount of money and food, and there is a fixed amount of life and death? Those who fight in the front, those who die in battle, those who are injured, and those who charge are all men of our Ming Dynasty, good men! How can they be chilled by the old system? If it has been like this for a long time, who can Do you still dare to serve the imperial court? Pass the decree, will..."
"Your Majesty!" Xie Jin walked out quickly, interrupted Zhu Yunwen's words, and said quickly: "I think it is feasible for all the soldiers who died or were injured in the fight against the Japanese to adopt the new army's strategy!"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin with cold eyes.
Xie Jin knelt down, knowing that he should not interrupt the emperor at this time, but once the emperor spoke and said that many coastal guard posts would be included in the new army's strategy, there would be no room for change.
A fight between cabinet ministers may not lead to life or death, but if the matter is settled, the Ministry of Revenue will be in trouble.
Even if the household department is a gold mine, you can't dig it all out in one fell swoop. It needs a process.
If they can't get money and food right now, they just can't get it. If the emperor insists on letting it go, then they can only reach out and ask for it from the people. By then, any Jianwen New Deal will be in vain.
This consequence is too serious. Xie Jin cannot bear it, and neither can the entire cabinet.
Seeing Xie Jin's solemn and sincere eyes, Zhu Yunwen regained his senses, waved his hand, and said: "Just do as Xie Jin said, the Ministry of Household Affairs has cashed out the money and food for two guards, and the remaining shortfall will be paid to me. Let’s solve it.”
Xia Yuanji hesitated for a moment, then came out and said, "Please let me know from your Majesty, when should we start to count the casualties in the war against Japan?"
Time is a big problem. If we start from the battle of Qiancang Senhusho, it will be easy to handle.
However, if we count from the time when Jianwen ascended the throne, there are not a few reports of Japanese pirate military information from coastal areas, and casualties of sergeants are also frequently reported in the documents. Although there are not many killed in each battle, there are not many injured or disabled. A rough calculation is that there are probably as many as three thousand Crowd of people.
If calculated according to this standard, the money and food for two guards is roughly equivalent to more than 10,000 people, and one-third will be divided directly. If there are some problems in the future, the Ministry of Revenue will really have to borrow money to live.
Zhu Yunwen clearly told Xia Yuanji: "Since I came to court."
You can only choose this time, right?
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to expand the scope to the Hongwu Dynasty, but in the second year of Hongwu, the problem of Japanese pirates had already appeared. It has been more than thirty years now, which is a generation.
This generation cannot catch up with the previous generation, and those who have been wronged can only be wronged. Whether it's two taels of silver or four pieces of cloth, that's the price of their lives.
"I named Yi Shaozong as the commander of the Qianshi, and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to prepare the monument and record his name. When the monument to the heroes is completed, his name should be included."
Zhu Yunwen said to Xu Huizu.
Xu Huizu, Xie Jin and others quickly agreed.
At this time, the chamberlain informed that Tie Xuan and others had arrived.
After a few people entered the palace, Zhu Yunwen let them read the documents and stopped discussing. He said bluntly: "Japanese pirates have been invading our country for decades. Although they are not as powerful as the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the cavalry is dangerous, their character is The evil poison, cruel killing, and good at sneak attacks have repeatedly entered our coastal areas, killing and injuring the residents.
Seizing property is a stubborn disease. Today's deadly war at Xiangshan has reminded me that the imperial court has not done enough in the fight against the Japanese! Therefore, I want to make some changes! "
Zhu Yunwen looked at Li Jian and shouted sharply: "Li Jian obeys the order!"
"I—the general is here!"
Li Jian stepped forward and knelt down on one knee. He listened to military orders and performed military salutes.
Zhu Yunwen solemnly ordered: "From today on, the navy will be reorganized. In addition to the ships used for grain, grass, baggage and war preparations, all navy officers and fleets will sail to the East China Sea to set sail to suppress Japanese pirates and appease border gangsters!"
"The last general takes command!"
Li Jian stood up and stood aside.
Zhu Yunwen shifted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Song Sheng!"
"The general is here!"
Song Sheng saluted.
Zhu Yunwen ordered: "I order you to temporarily take charge of the coastal guard stations of the four prefectures of Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou, and Songjiang, organize military training, and be fully responsible for anti-Japanese affairs. You will be given money and food to help from the four prefectures!"
"The last general takes command!"
Song Sheng's blood was boiling. After returning to Beijing, he thought there would be no battles to fight, but he didn't expect that he could go to the beach to fight against Japanese pirates.
Ningbo, Shaoxing, Taizhou, and Songjiang can be said to be important tax collection areas for the imperial court, and they are also the places where Japanese pirates invaded the most.
Xiangshan Qiancang, where thousands of households live, is located in Ningbo Prefecture.
Zhu Yunwen decided not only to deal with the Japanese pirates, but also to deal with the Japanese behind the Japanese pirates. He pointed to Liu Jundao: "In the name of the Ministry of War, spread the news that anyone who has business dealings with the Japanese pirates is our Ming Dynasty enemy. Send the news to North Korea." ! If North Korea is sensible, it should cut off trade with the Japanese pirates. If they don’t cut it off, then the Ming Dynasty Navy will cut it off!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Huang Zicheng thought that this would be interfering in the affairs of the vassal country, which was really contrary to the identity of the suzerain country, so he wanted to dissuade him. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunzhen looked at Huang Zicheng sharply, with a cold and murderous look that made Huang Zicheng afraid and took a step back. Dare you say anything more.
"Tie Xuan, urge the shipyards in various places to recruit shipwrights, expand the number of ships at sea, and at the same time recruit 20,000 people from the Beijing army to join the navy fleet!"
Reading with rice balls
Zhu Yunwen ordered.
Tie Xuan did not hesitate at all and agreed: "I obey the decree."
Zhu Yunwen sat back, looked at everyone coldly, and said: "If the Japanese pirates are not eliminated, I will have trouble sleeping and eating! Aren't all the civil and martial arts you have learned to share your worries and solve your problems? Now is the time, go!"
Xu Huizu, Xie Jin and others bowed and exited the hall.
Jie Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Yunwen was planning to send the Japanese pirates to the bottom of the sea completely, and he used a set of combination punches. This way, the Japanese pirates would be eliminated as soon as possible, and the fleet would go to Nanyang as soon as possible.
After Ru Jin waited for Xie Jin and Xu Huizu to go a little further, Fang said to Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng who were lagging behind: "If the Japanese pirates continue to cause chaos, it will eventually become a problem and will not affect the overall situation. The most important thing right now is not the immigration from Shanxi, but the immigration from Shandong." Song Li came to report about the Huitong River some time ago. Between the lines, he said that Yan Shenggong was blocking the Huitong River. There may be many problems in this."
"Once I leave, you two should focus on Huitonghe, obey the emperor's opinions more, and don't make any more conflicting remarks, lest Xie Jin monopolizes cabinet affairs."
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng nodded solemnly and looked to the north worriedly.
PS: If you have a ticket, please support it. Double updates will start roughly in mid-May or June, and there is a high probability that the rhythm of 10,000 per day will be restored in mid-June or July. I originally saved some manuscripts this month, but I ended up using them after I had a fever for three days. Poor me, I don’t deserve to save the manuscripts...
