The establishment of three divisions in the Western Regions is the embodiment and guarantee of Ming Dynasty's true control of the Western Regions.
But the establishment of the third division is by no means a simple matter, especially who to choose is an even bigger problem. If some officials are promoted to serve as local officials in Jiangxi, Henan and other places, I think the officials will be happy. But if some officials are promoted to go to the Western Regions, I wonder if they will cry...
No matter who you choose, you may not go.
The emperor issued an order here, but if someone gets sick over there, he can't be carried to the Western Regions to take up his post.
The most important thing is that the Western Region itself is very complicated. If you choose some officials who don't know how to adapt, it will be easy to mess things up.
Local customs, culture, and beliefs need to be respected, rather than imposed or prohibited. How to deal with the relationship with the local people, that is, to make them obedient, not to interfere with their normal life, and to bring benefits to them, is a very challenging matter, and ordinary officials are simply not competent.
Moreover, officials need to be honest, in good physical condition, and have strong adaptability. They should not be acclimated to the local environment, suffer from diarrhea, and leave their lives in the Western Regions...
The court meeting discussed for nearly an hour and a half with no result. Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to say: "The six ministries, the cabinet, and the five-army governor's office, including the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Honglu Temple, can recommend talents. Anyone who is willing to go to the Western Regions will be treated favorably. "
The meeting is over.
Zhu Yunwen returned to Wuying Hall, ignored Liu Changge, looked at Xue Xia kneeling, and said angrily: "You have always been steady, considerate of the overall situation, and effective in doing things. It is precisely because of this that I sent you to the Western Regions." ! But what about you? You failed to live up to my expectations!"
Xue Xia fell on the ground and said, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."
"Condemned? Hey, you didn't even say a word of defense?" Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath: "Didn't you tell Zhu Di that you would rather be infamous for the rest of your life and be despised by thousands of people, than let Timur pay for your debt with blood! Why? , don’t you dare to say anything to me?”
Xue Xia hit her head on the cold floor tiles and dared not speak.
Zhu Yunwen also found it difficult to accept Xue Xia's killing of Timur. After all, Timur was a sultan and the overlord of Central Asia. He opened up an era and affected the fate of countless people. He should be given a certain amount of respect, even if it means killing him. We also need to give him enough dignity and respect, at least give him a rope and let him commit suicide.
But after thinking about it carefully, how can there be so many perfect people on the battlefield, who doesn't have a temper and temperament?
Xue Xia watched the scouts and security bureau personnel being hacked to death, watched countless soldiers die on the front line, heard the wailings, and saw the shocking wounds. He did not want Timur to live and enjoy his old age in the capital. Naturally, If he lives forever, then he can only be killed in the snow.
Having said that, does capturing Timur really have great strategic value?
The God of War Zhu Qizhen was also captured. Is his strategic value great? This is because Wala is a neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, and he can visit with Zhu Qizhen. The Ming Dynasty cannot send Timur from the capital to the Western Regions, and then go to Samarkand to visit, right?
Deterrent effect?
Which one is more threatening, the living Tamerlane or the dead army of 150,000?
Zhu Yunwen did not have the habit of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. He liked to stare at a grown man dancing. He was not interested in the dance of the old man Tamerlane at all. If he really brought him to the capital, he would have to be served with good wine and food. The dead sergeant and his family members It's really unfair.
No matter what, Zhu Yunwen accepted the reality that Timur was dead. As for how he died and who killed him, that's it. Lao Tie, feel free to feel wronged. You go to ***, he will comfort you...
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said to Xue Xia: "Because of your fault, I have decided to exempt you from the position of commander and magistrate and fine you for half a year."
Xue Xia thanked him deeply.
Liu Changge was a little anxious and wanted to help Xue Xia speak, but Zhu Yunwen raised his hand: "Because you have made great achievements in killing the enemy and are loyal and courageous, I have decided to promote you to the rank of Scout Qianhu, and at the same time restore you to the position of commander and commander. As for the reward, we will wait until the army is ready. Go back and don't enter the palace for half a month. I don't want to see you now."
Xue Xia was moved, and Liu Changge was even more envious.
Although the Security Bureau is prestigious and extremely powerful, people from the Security Bureau can't just enter the Scouts just because they want to.
Yes, this is a mysterious and powerful force. It is completely different from the Security Bureau. As Liu Changge, he only has limited contact with some scouts. Among the thousands of people floating outside, Suo Jing is the only one.
But Liu Changge knew that there were two Qianhu in the scouts. Liu Changge didn't know who the other Qianhu besides Suo Jing was, where he was hiding, and what his true identity was, and he didn't dare to find out.
Now, Zhu Yunwen has made Xue Xia a Qianhu scout, which not only expresses his absolute trust in Xue Xia, but also illustrates another problem: the number of scouts has increased.
Zhu Yunwen drove away Xue Xia and had no intention of dealing with the memorial, so he took Liu Changge out of the palace and went straight to Prince Yan's Mansion.
Now there is a thorny problem, that is, the issue of post-war rewards. Others can easily say that they can just promote them, but there are two people who cannot raise it. Xu Huizu himself is the Duke of the country, so how can he raise it? Zhu Di is the King of Yan, so how should he mention it?
It is unjustifiable not to award a reward, but there is no room for awards above these two people. The Duke is the highest among the titles, and there is no one greater than this. King Yan is the vassal king, and above the vassal king is the emperor. Zhu Yunwen has no intention of giving up the throne...
Zhu Yunwen wanted to find Zhu Gaochi. This fat man performed very well in the Imperial College. He wrote an article "Brief Affairs of the Yamen Office" in the winter examination. He proposed a set of special approvals for the complicated, delayed and large backlog of government affairs. By streamlining the work process, it can be seen that Zhu Gaochi has a high talent for handling government affairs.
After all, he was the famous Ming Renzong in history. If he hadn't been suppressed for a long time and started to indulge and become excessively lustful after becoming the emperor, it is estimated that he would have lived another ten or twenty years and left many political achievements.
Zhu Yunwen has always been hesitant about whether to use Zhu Gaochi. He is the prince of the vassal prince. If he joins the dynasty as an official, this is nothing. There is some confusion in the etiquette system. But there is really a lack of capable and wise officials around him, and many of the supervisors who came out of the Imperial College are still angry youths who are in the process of training and will be difficult to play their role in a short period of time. But Zhu Gaochi is different. He has an identity and a voice. Weight...
No matter how high the waves rise, the ships move with them.
Chen Hui got Li Congmao's information, discussed with Wang Sui, Xu An and others, and decided to attack Tsushima Island at night.
Tsushima Island.
Mune Sadashige's laughter spread far and wide, and Hayata Zaemon Dairo also breathed a sigh of relief. The Ming Dynasty Navy was attacking from the east to the west. It said it was going to attack Tsushima Island, but in fact it was Iki Island that it was going to attack!
At this moment, Zongzhenmo wanted to see Kyogoku Gaoguang's expression. I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable to be bullied by the Ming navy.
Deserve it!
We asked you to support us on Tsushima Island, but you didn’t even give us any face! Now that you are being dealt with by Ming Dynasty, you brought it upon yourself! However, the Ming Dynasty's strategy was really clever. Even the people on Iqi Island never expected that the Ming Navy would suddenly attack. They didn't know how many naval forces there were on Iqi Island and whether they would be crippled by the Ming Navy.
Mune Sadashige said to Hayata Zaemon Dairo: "If Iki Island sends someone to ask for help, just drive them away. How they rejected us, we will reject them!"
Hayata Zaemon Dairo nodded: "That should be the case, let them taste the feeling of being rejected."
Zongzhenmo felt very happy: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty navy besieged Iki Island. Do you think Kyogoku Gaoguang will be captured by the Ming Dynasty? If so, can we take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's retreat to seize Iki Island? "
Hayata Zaemon Dairo's eyes widened, and he was very surprised by Mune Sadashige's ambition.
That is Iki Island, the old sphere of influence of the Kyogoku clan. They are deeply rooted there, and they have Ashikaga Yoshimitsu as their backer. Even if the Kyogoku clan is killed by the Ming Dynasty, it will not be your turn to enter Iki Island. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is not a fool, he will definitely take action.
"This is not good."
Hayata Zaemon Dairo tactfully advised Mune Sadashige not to conflict with the Kyogoku clan, let alone offend Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
Tsushima Island, Asamo Bay in the north.
Twenty or so Japanese patrolled listlessly, glanced at the dark sea for a few times, then hurriedly entered the thatched house, rubbed their hands and started shouting.
Dafu boats appeared slowly on the sea one after another, without any
The lights blend into the dark night. Chen Hui pointed to Liu Zhen and Zhao Chun to lead three ships to land first and deal with the Japanese troops on the beach.
Liu Chen considered that the Dafu ship was making a lot of noise when it docked, and it was difficult not to be discovered. Once the Japanese warned, the raid would become an encounter, so he took more than 30 sergeants into the sea. The water was so cold it made people shiver.
After moving back and forth several times, Liu Chen felt that it was warmer in the sea than on the boat. He waved his hand and quietly led the sergeant ashore.
When the sea breeze blew, Liu Chen felt that his whole body was about to turn into ice pimples. He couldn't care so much, and knocked on the door of the thatched house while trembling, shouting a greeting in Japanese.
The Japanese inside were unprepared. They opened the door and looked at the wet Liu Chen and others, and were stunned for a moment.
Liu Chen didn't know what the other party was mumbling, so he swiped the knife directly across the other party's neck, and then led his men into the thatched house, killing the Japanese who had no defense and no time to fight on the spot!
After solving one house, he moved on to another house.
Asamo Bay is an important stronghold of Tsushima Island, and there are not a few Japanese defending it, at least more than 300 people. However, because the mouth of Asamao Bay faces north, it is too cold when the north wind blows. As a result, the number of Japanese stationed at the entrance of Asamao Bay is only about 40.
When Liu Chen walked towards the last thatched hut, just as he was about to knock on the door, a Japanese man holding up his trousers appeared from the left side of the thatched hut. The Japanese man looked at Liu Chen's bloody knife and wanted to run away, but he forgot that his trousers were still on. He picked it up, but he tripped and fell to the ground after just two steps. Before he could get up, the knife had fallen!
"Knock on the door!"
Liu Chen whispered and many sergeants came to him one after another.
The sergeant knocked on the door and shouted in Japanese. Suddenly, a sharp long knife stabbed out from the door of the thatched hut and penetrated directly into the sergeant's neck!
"ah!"
Liu Chen couldn't believe that the other party was already on guard. Looking at his brother who fell to the ground, he opened the door directly!
The five Japanese were holding long swords and shouting wildly to fight. The sound was a little loud, which alarmed the Japanese in the distance.
Although the Ming army's raid was ineffective, it bought time for the follow-up Dafu ship to dock. Chen Hui ordered Wang Sui to lead 300 men to guard the ship, and he and Xu An's troops were divided into two groups, each with more than 1,000 men to attack Tsushima Island.
Asamo Bay is almost a center line, dividing the entire Tsushima Island into two. Xu An led his troops to the northeast, while Chen Hui led his troops to the southwest. Tsushima Island is much larger than Iki Island, and it is impossible to defeat the Japanese army without in-depth combat.
Liu Chen dealt with several Japanese, and when he saw Chen Hui and his men coming, he quickly ordered his sergeants to change into wet clothes, and followed the army directly to the central area where Zong Zhenmao was.
Sosadamoge had already fallen asleep when he suddenly heard the distant shouts of killing Zhenten. He was horrified. He quickly summoned Hayata Zaemon Dairo, Hayashi On, Toroku and others, and hastily assembled more than 600 Japanese troops to prepare to defend the Soda family. Courtyard, against the Ming army.
