Chapter 741: North Korean monarchs and ministers are immoral and should depose the country
It is very necessary for Shen Li to come here, because when the court received the memorial from the front line, it thought that the concubines of the Liaodong Army were all The imperial court wanted to rule the Korean peninsula, instead of retreating after a single strike. The Liaodong Army actually did such a thing when it had sufficient supplies of food and grass. Since Shen Li was here, he naturally wanted to inquire in person.
This is not the court's stereotype of the Liaodong Army. Even Qi Jiguang thought it was a robbery of civilian girls. When Qi Jiguang was about to deal with it, and after careful understanding, he discovered that the local people were too enthusiastic.
This kind of enthusiasm is not just because the Great Tomorrow soldiers swept away the Japanese pirates, saved all the people from hanging upside down, and sacrificed their lives out of gratitude, but mainly because they wanted to truly become the master of the heavenly country.
Qi Jiguang once saw a registered urchin on the street and said, "I am a wise man, you lackey, kneel down to me." The urchin asked another child who had not registered a household registration to kneel down, and that child really knelt down. .
The people of North Korea are not sure whether the Ming army will leave if they come, but they know very well that if they give their daughter to them and give birth to a child, they must be noble Ming people!
From being the Ming Dynasty’s dog is the greatest honor, to my grandson and my children being serious Ming Dynasty people, this status should no longer be noble!
This kind of enthusiasm is based on the enthusiasm for improving social status.
In addition to the motivation of hoping that his descendants can live a stable life, there is also the interest during the military control period. This kind of enthusiasm has tangible benefits and benefits.
The Ming army has a total of 40,000 elite soldiers from the Beijing camp and 20,000 Liaodong soldiers. And these 20,000 Liaodong soldiers have to manage these places. It is inevitable to use local people. So the marriage relationship depends on It seems more trustworthy and can be regarded as a kind of 'ethnic party'.
This enthusiasm is based on the enthusiasm for improving economic status.
Social status and economic status determine political status.
"Zongbo Shen, I have a question." Qi Jiguang asked sideways: "What is the court's attitude towards the extermination of the Japanese? Are there any officials who oppose it?"
"Yes." Shen Li said solemnly: "Because the conquest was too expensive, we defeated the Japanese pirates on the Korean battlefield and made them afraid to enter." It’s enough to teach the Japanese a lesson. There is no need to go directly to the Japanese country to destroy the Japanese.” Two million silver is needed to support the army, which is still support. If it is necessary to fight, food, wages, and rewards will be even more expensive. These are all part of the cost of promoting military force.
The soldiers on the border who were half peasants and half soldiers were more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack. It was also very expensive to train professional guest soldiers for attack.
This is not a calculation style, it is really expensive. Your Majesty, like Emperor Cheng Zuwen, took out the internal funds to cope with it.
“Yes, it’s too expensive.” Qi Jiguang said in deep agreement: “If it’s not expensive, Nu’ergandusi, Beipingdusi, Hetao, Guanxi Qiwei, Luchuan, and Jiaozhi Thirteenth Division , the Ming Dynasty said nothing to keep it, it was too expensive, these places Fang, even the military restraints have been loosened intermittently."
"But now, Shen Zongbo, fighting is not expensive, and everything from training to fighting will become cheaper."
"Oh. ?" Shen Li raised his eyebrows with confusion on his face.
Qi Jiguang said solemnly: "In the past, to train an archer, you had to practice martial arts from a young age until you were sixteen or seventeen years old. Only when you were sixteen or seventeen years old could you shoot accurately. If you were poor in literature and rich in martial arts, you were either gifted or practiced martial arts, so There are few strong archers, and cavalry is more expensive, but now the line array solves this problem."
< br>"In short, musketeers are cheap, affordable, simple and straightforward."
Qi Jiguang began to talk about his thoughts. He was still on the Korean battlefield. The battle was not over yet. His The thinking is not over yet, it is just a preliminary and vague idea, but the idea is already very clear.
Musketeers are really cheap!
The training time of musketeers only takes one to three months. After feeding them with gunpowder and lead, they can immediately go to the battlefield to kill the enemy; as for archers, the time cost is at least three years to start. For archers like this, it depends on their talent. The nutritional cost of training, eating and drinking is very high.
The Tiger Power Bow cultivated in this way can penetrate armor in forty steps, and it cannot kill an armored man at a distance of sixty steps. However, the effective armor-piercing range of the flat gun is one hundred steps. The excellent Iron Hun Armor To within sixty steps.
A flat gunman is much cheaper than a tiger-powered archer. Only 240 people in a 100,000-capital camp can pull a tiger-powered bow, while 4,000 people in a 40,000-capital camp are equipped with 4,000 tiger-force bows. Flatten the blunderbuss.
In addition to the low training cost, the manufacturing cost and usage cost of musket ammunition are much lower than those of bows and arrows.
Both muskets and strong bows are expensive. Strong bows require wood, tendons, glue, leather, arrows require wood, feathers, arrow clusters, etc., while muskets require steel, triggers, etc., these are not cheap. , especially the steel pipes used for muskets, which cannot be made by private workshops, but the maintenance of strong bows is much more expensive than that of muskets.
When Qi Jiguang was in the southeast to pacify the Japanese, many of the bird guns and hand guns in the hands of the soldiers were made in Yongle. The emperor once rewarded Qi Jiguang with a "Tian Zi Ba Wan Yi" "Qian Er Bai Qi Shi Qi No. Yongle Shijiu Year Nine Moon Twenty-one Year" handgun, this thing is an antique, but it can be inspired, but the strong bow cannot be used after two hundred years, it has long since decayed.
The cost gap is also reflected in projectiles. Projectiles are consumables, and arrows are also consumables. In most cases, arrows cannot be recovered after being shot.
The cost of an arrow exceeds 20 Wen Wanli Tongbao, while the gunpowder and lead cost only two cents and six cents of silver per kilogram, while the cost of firing a bird blunderbuss does not exceed 5 Wen Wanli. Tong Bao.
“The most important thing is that the logistics supply will be much lighter. Now the logistics baggage is much heavier, mainly because this time we went to Korea, we brought too many artillery. I didn’t realize this before setting off. The question is, it should be light rather than heavy for field operations, and the maximum cannon should not exceed nine kilograms. It should be heavy rather than light for city defense. Fifteen kilograms of cannon are more than enough." Qi Jiguang talked about the expensive logistics.
Qi Jiguang reduced the number of firearms in Beijing, mainly heavy artillery and gunpowder transportation of several kilograms, which was really time-consuming and laborious. This is also the conclusion after the Pyongyang War. The effect was excellent and effectively reduced the cost.
“On the battlefield, an infantry camp, that is, a full firearms line formation of 3,000 people, can completely suppress 30,000 Japanese pirates. The Beijing camp is more powerful and can suppress 50,000 Japanese pirates. Looking at it, Wherever you look, the Japanese pirates are already very powerful." Qi Jiguang gave a very astonishing number.
In the Battle of Kaicheng, the Ming Dynasty entered the battlefield with infantry battalions. One infantry battalion suppressed Kato Kiyomasa's 50,000 men very easily. No one could charge with the intensive firepower of the line array. When Kato Kiyomasa was giving lectures, he always said, "When I heard Don't be afraid of the gunshot, just stick up and buy time for the archers!
Under normal circumstances, the Japanese pirates can only charge to about a hundred steps, and their morale has completely collapsed.
Japanese pirates are also living people. The lead whistles past, and the blood flowers it brings bloom on the battlefield. The desperadoes are just willing to fight for their lives, willing to fight for their lives, rather than willing to die for no reason.
His Majesty’s words about lining up to be shot are too vivid.
"Three thousand people, suppressing 30,000 people?" Shen Li said dullly.
Qi Jiguang said very clearly: "Yes, the cost of the Ming Dynasty's conquest can be reduced. Your Majesty is indeed wealthy and always wants the best for the soldiers, but in fact you don't need so many people at all. For example, in Suiyuan, you only need one infantryman with all firearms." The camp can be controlled, which is the biggest cost reduction.”
“Shen Zongbo, this is not the most economical, the most economical is: in Nanyang and the West, one castle, tens of thousands of hectares of development. Of It only takes two hundred musketeers to completely control the land. This is the biggest savings, and it has been proven by practice in the West.”
“I understand, I understand, this saves a lot of money!” He nodded repeatedly and said: "Reliable firearms and sufficient firearms equal rich rewards."
During the Zhengtong years, the Ming Dynasty conquered Luchuan, with only 40,000 Beijing troops, and the annual food and salary was as high as six to seven million. two!
The main consumption is the transshipment of food and salary. On the southwest defense line, Duke Qian has been trying his best to prevent the court from transferring food and salary from the hinterland. Otherwise, after a few years of fighting in Luchuan, the court will be beaten to a pulp, and then there will be no The fight is over.
But now only one infantry camp is needed to have the effect of 40,000 Beijing camps. The logistics supply of 3,000 people and the logistics of 40,000 people are not at all the same order of magnitude. With the current savings of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem in fighting for three hundred years.
And a single step camp can control a huge Taungoo, and the rewards are extremely generous.
Forbidding violence, restraining troops, protecting the country, establishing meritorious services, calming the people, harmonizing the public, and bringing wealth are martial virtues, which means prohibiting cruelty and eliminating violence, suppressing wars, ensuring stability, consolidating achievements, calming the people, and harmonizing the nations. , rich wealth.
But because military affairs are too expensive, campaigns often require military force. But now with the reduction of preparation and campaign costs, the Ming army will be full of martial virtue!
“With a naval garrison of 2,000 men at the Governor’s Palace in the Old Port, two five-masted transoceanic ships, twenty horse boats, and a hundred battleships, we can control the entire Java and half of Borneo. Lu The Song Governor's Mansion has a total of 3,000 guest troops, plus Lin Afeng's 6,000 troops, and only 9,000 troops can control Luzon, Cebu, Mindanao, and part of Borneo."
Qi Jiguang said very solemnly: "And the return from Nanyang, not to mention other things, is the twelve copper towns, which have been earned back."
Not only the colonial experience of Spain and Spain, the Ming Dynasty itself also had fourteen years of With colonial experience, you only need a small number of musketeers to control a vast territory, and recruit some minions and vassals to maintain orderly and stable production.
The price is the lives of indigenous people and Japanese slaves.
The twelve copper towns are the cornerstone of the Luzon Governor's rule in Luzon. Their economic return is fifteen million jins of red copper a year. This is already a very high return. Coupled with the tobacco, sugar cane, cotton, abaca, rubber, mahogany, etc. produced by the plantation, this is a profitable business.
Shen Li thought carefully and said again and again: "So, Qi Shuai means that the cost of destroying the Japanese is not as high as the court imagined?"
"Yes, before I saw the power of the full firearms line array, of course I was emotionally eager to destroy the Japanese, but rationally considering that the excessive cost of conquest would interrupt the process of Ming Dynasty's revival, in these two To choose one among them, I would rather choose to revive the Ming Dynasty than destroy the Japanese." Qi Jiguang made it very clear that he did not like to use force, and he preferred to end the war with war.
Under the leadership of Qi Jiguang, the military strategy of the Ming Dynasty was not offensive. But now, with the rapid reduction of preparation, training, armaments, logistics, and governance costs, the Ming army has gradually revealed its offensive capabilities. tooth.
Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty gave 1.5 million kilograms of gunpowder to pacify the Korean Japanese pirates. But now it seems that this 1.5 million kilograms of gunpowder is enough to destroy the Japanese pirates."< br>
"That is indeed quite cheap." Shen Li did some calculations and his eyes lit up. Not to mention 1.5 million jins of gunpowder, it was 5 million jins. During the war, the Ming Dynasty could also produce it. It was indeed not It’s expensive, and it can also support craftsmen.
Qi Jiguang narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered: "Why does the sun never set on the empire's laurel crown? Felipe can hold it, but His Majesty cannot!"
"It is true that the crown of the empire on which the sun never sets belongs to me, the Ming Dynasty. If the bandits can go, I can go as well." Shen Li is an extreme conservative and agrees with Qi Jiguang's ideas.
Back then, the Persians had the title of King of Kings, but it was all taken away by Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. The Great Tomorrow said that he was far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and a title that the sun never sets appeared on the other side of the world. This must be brought over.
When Legas met His Majesty the Emperor for the first time, Zhang Juzheng realized that, no matter what, he had one more title to win. If he couldn't win it, would the Emperor still be the Supreme Emperor? If you can't get it, how can you call it Yuanmai Hantang?
The ancestors can do it, and future generations must also be able to do it. The longer we live, the more we go back to it, which is unfilial to our descendants.
This is the basic logic of conservatives: I am not necessarily stronger than my ancestors, but I must not be weaker than my ancestors.
As the great general of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang was supposed to be in charge of regaining the title of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. However, in order to prevent military aggression, the only achievements in military promotion were lost. In the past ten years, Qi Jiguang He has always maintained basic restraint.
Now that costs are reduced, the ownership of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets needs to be discussed in detail.
Shen Li stayed in Kaicheng for a full fifteen days. He waited until mid-May before he left Kaicheng and took a boat on the Imjin River towards Tianjin Prefecture. During these fifteen days , Shen Li asked many, many Koreans, and after full investigation, returned to Daming Jingtang.
"Uncle Zong, do we really want to write this memorial?" Qi Shichen looked at the written memorial with a solemn expression.
Shen Li said with certainty: "Yes, just get scolded if you get scolded. We can't let the Ming Dynasty drive away the Japanese pirates and let the Korean royal family get an advantage." At the end of May in the fourteenth year of Wanli, Shen Li Li returned to the capital, and on the third day of the sixth lunar month, Shen Li brought four Qingliu censors to the Huangji Palace.
"My ministers Shen Li, Qi Shichen, Guo Guo, Wei Yun, and Zhensun Wei pay their respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty."
Shen Li paid homage again, bowed his head and said, "I'm so glad. He did not disgrace his command and went to North Korea to inquire about the people's sentiments. First, he took a boat from the Imjin River and entered the sea. The Ming army not only recovered Kaesong, Imjin, and Incheon, but also It also controls both sides of the Imjin River and can attack Seoul at any time;"
"The second thing is that the Ming army is neat and disciplined, and everyone in North Korea praises it and calls it a heavenly soldier;"
" The third thing is that what happened to the concubine of the Liaodong army was not looted, nor was it a robbery of civilian girls. Please give your Majesty a clear warning;"
"The fourth thing is that the army consumed grain, grass, gunpowder and other materials. I have checked them and did not conceal them. Some local gentry took the initiative to collect grain and pray for the heavenly soldiers to maintain stability."
Qi Jiguang reported it. of grain The consumption of grass aroused the doubts of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was enough to fight fiercely. The Ming Dynasty’s capital camp was elite. The exaggerated battle loss ratio was due to the chronological lead in firearms. This was the Ming Dynasty’s crushing of the Japanese power. This part is understandable. of.
What Ming Gong in the court did not quite understand was that the grain, grass and gunpowder consumed by the Beijing camp were out of proportion. The consumption of grain and grass was a little too little, which aroused the suspicion of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The food and grass in the Chaojing camp are too sufficient.
Shen Li told Ming Gong that it was not the Ming army that was robbing them, but the squires in North Korea who had surplus grain, and they all gave it to the Ming army, just like those concubines. Have the heart to abandon me.
Even the powerful right-wingers, rural gentry, and wealthy businessmen in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty donated generously when they heard that they were going to fight the Japanese pirates. This was especially true in Korea where the war was spreading. The Japanese pirates in Korea did not do anything anthropomorphic at all.
If there are only eighteen levels of hell, then North Korea in the Japanese-occupied area is on the nineteenth level.
"What happened in Korea today, in a nutshell, is: eating the slurry in the pot to welcome the king."
Shen Li bowed again, raised the memorial, and shouted loudly He said: "Your Majesty, the Korean royal family has committed a serious crime of slander. The deposed king Li Huan, the civil and military classes, and Sungkyunkwan have repeatedly slandered our country, the Ming Dynasty, and did nothing in the face of the Japanese pirates. They even betrayed their trust and violated the law. He broke his promise and ran away several times, causing the war to collapse. On the contrary, when it came to throwing dirty water on the Ming army, the Korean royal family confused right and wrong, regarded a deer as a horse, and abandoned both men and gods! "
Shen Li is a scholar-official, so of course! When he said the four words "Abandoned by Man and God" in the Emperor's Palace, it was the most severe accusation, which meant that his anger tank was completely full.
"Five of you have worked so hard without being polite. Does Shen Zongbo mean that instead of resisting the Japanese, they are throwing dirty water on the Ming army?" Zhu Yijun picked up the memorial and asked Shen Li.
“However, especially since the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty, the Korean royal family knew clearly that it was Japanese pirates who robbed and harassed, but they always used Yanwen to publish lists, identifying it as the Ming army. However, in the Chinese list, it is Written by Japanese pirates." Shen Li stood up, took the seven papers from Qi Shichen, and presented them to the emperor.
Shen Li has never seen anything like this! There is a notice in two languages, Yanwen and Chinese. Yanwen says it is an invasion by Han people, while Chinese says it is an invasion by Japanese pirates. Is this an announcement? If the King of Joseon doesn’t want to do this anymore, just be a commoner in the court!
"What did the Korean people say?" Zhu Yijun didn't know Yanwen and asked the Ministry of Rites to confirm the seven lists.
"When I was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea had everything. When the Japanese pirates came, there was nothing. Now, with the heavenly soldiers coming, there is everything." Shen Li stood up straight and said: "Your Majesty , the soil does not lie, there is no delay in spring plowing from Uiju to Pyongyang, and there is no impact in summer plowing from Pyongyang to Kaesong.”
"What Shen Zongbo said makes sense, Tian Tu won't lie." Zhu Yijun said with certainty.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites confirms that it is indeed as Shen Zongbo said, one word has two meanings." After Wan Shi and Rang Tongshi read it, they reported back to His Majesty.
Instead of actively resisting the Japanese, they just focused on pouring dirty water on the Ming Dynasty and spreading various rumors to prevent the Ming Dynasty from affecting the rule of the Korean royal family on the Korean Peninsula. This was when Li Huan was imprisoned by Yi Sun-shin. , and also wrote a letter to President Konishi to visit Kyoto, Japan.
Qi Shichen flicked his sleeves, bowed his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the lies and slanders of the Korean royal family, civil and military classes, and Sungkyunkwan cannot recover the homeland, and the slander and instigation cannot save the people. By using rumors to shift guilt and responsibility, I am making everyone laugh. I am immoral. I impeach the nobles of the Korean royal family and take back the seals and ribbons and the nine chapters of the military uniform they were given!"
"I beg you to abolish the country."< br>
This is the memorial that Qi Shichen made with some doubts after returning to the Ming Dynasty, abolishing the country.
The Ming Dynasty abolished the Korean royal family Li Huan and let Li Huan's son Guanghaijun succeed to the throne. In other words, the Ming Dynasty did not abolish the Korean feudal state, but now Qi Shichen impeached the Korean clan and the family for immorality. Take back the royal seal and military uniforms, and abolish the feudal state.
"Your Majesty, if the monarchs and ministers of North Korea lose their moral integrity, they should be dismissed from the country." Zhang Juzheng left his post, bowed his head and said.
Zhu Yijun sat up straight, nodded and said: "Yes."
The main purpose of the meeting was to announce. In fact, before this, the courtiers had already discussed the meeting, and the courtiers discussed it together and decided to do it. To abolish the Korean state, Shen Li and Qi Shichen could only ask for their orders at the great court meeting.
If you dare to scold Ming Dynasty and don't pout him, who will treat Ming Dynasty as the suzerain?
North Korea has actually been subjugated. If the Ming army had not received the information early, prepared for a long time, and dispatched troops and generals to enter North Korea, even Pyongyang would have been lost, and North Korea lost more than 90% of its troops. Territory, millions of people, and now, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain state, announced that North Korea was dead and abolished it in the name of shameful immorality.
This is of extremely important significance, that is, the subsequent wars of the Ming Dynasty will be the real king's division to regain the lost territory.
As Legas said, Ming Dynasty does things with shame.
"Your Majesty, I believe that all Confucian scholars including Li Huan, the Korean Civil and Military Classes, and Sungkyunkwan should be transferred to the Ming Dynasty." Shen Li mentioned another important issue. Those who are sent to the capital for trial should be beheaded in public for losing their land.
"I think it is inappropriate." Wang Chonggu immediately stood up and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to let Li Huo die in North Korea. Li Huo's situation is different from that of An Dahan."
The Ming Dynasty beheaded Anda Khan. In order to take revenge, Anda Khan’s head was sent to They went to the mausoleum of Emperor Sejong to pay homage to the late king. This was because Ananda Khan had indeed brought shame and very substantial harm to the Ming Dynasty. The polder of Baoding Prefecture was the follow-up to the bad influence, but bringing Li Huo to the Ming Dynasty would instead Fell into passivity.
North Korea cannot defeat Japan. If the Ming Dynasty beheaded Li Huan, it would give some people who "cared about their homeland" an excuse, which would not be conducive to the Ming Dynasty's rule.
Zhang Juzheng went out again and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think it can be transferred."
"Yuanfu." Wang Chonggu spit out his breath and said loudly: "I really know what you are doing. The Ming Dynasty will not hesitate to smash its body to pieces, but it must also pay more attention to its own reputation. The new policy is all important and cannot be careless! ”
Wang Chonggu felt that Zhang Juzheng was crazy. On the way to be transferred to the Ming Dynasty, Li Huo and other people would definitely fall into the water, 100% chance of falling into the water! Zhang Juzheng said it himself, he will definitely do it, but even if he kills the deposed king, Zhang Juzheng's posthumous reputation will have to be attributed to the following criminals.
"Yuan Fu, you are not worthy." Wang Guoguang went out. This time Wang Guoguang did not stab the Jin party in the back, but stood with Wang Chonggu. A bastard like Li Huo is not worthy of Zhang Juzheng. Posthumous name.
This cannot be achieved through political manipulation. The old affairs of King Xiao Ming back then were also a mess.
"Finish the work of eradicating evil and eradicate the roots." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said to the emperor.
"The cabinet is very divided on this matter." Zhu Yijun sat up straight and explained to the confused ministers in the Huangji Hall why there was a quarrel in the Huangji Hall, because in the Huangji Hall, Wenhua Palace did not understand.
The words were almost made clear. This was only said when the quarrel was too intense.
The cabinet is headed by Zhang Juzheng. Zeng Shengwu from the Ministry of War and Wang Daokun from the Ministry of Industry think that he should be transferred to the Ming Dynasty. Wang Chonggu from the Ministry of Punishment and Wang Guoguang from the Ministry of Husband think that it is better to let Li Hao die in North Korea and ignore him. Except for Hai Rui and Wan Shihe and Ming Gong all expressed their positions clearly.
"I think what Cifu said is reasonable and let Li Huo stay in Yizhou." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
"I obey the order." Zhang Juzheng looked up at the emperor and had no choice but to obey his orders.
As Emperor Zhu Ming, Zhu Yijun has always been inconvenient to express his position because of the matter of Prince Xiao Ming. Now that the quarrel has spread from the Wenhua Palace to the Huangji Palace, Zhu Yijun has to make a choice.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry, the theory of contradiction tells me that the process of development of everything is always negation of negation. This is the inevitable process from contradiction to conflict. From contradictions to the status quo that everyone can accept, it needs to be negated. Deny it later.”
“Li Hao is in Yiju, and the war is over. , If the people of North Korea still choose him, I have nothing to say.”
Phenomena A, denying phenomenon A, and getting conclusion B. Conclusion B is too overcorrected and cannot solve the problem, so we must deny conclusion B, which is negative. The negative conclusion C is that this is the basic law of the development of things, that is, spiral upward.
On the Korean peninsula, there are many people who believe that it was not his fault that Li Huo lost the war. There are not a few people who think this way. Thinking about the motherland, let’s do it again. I know it hurts.
It’s really not a big deal, it’ll be fine if the Japanese pirates come again.
The Japanese pirates will really come again, because the conquest of North Korea is the Japanese state using external contradictions to divert internal conflicts. As long as the internal conflicts of the Japanese state cannot be resolved, they will do it again. The Ming Dynasty is now conquering, as long as it does not bring heavy artillery, the court can fully afford it.
Zhang Juzheng’s insistence is nothing more than that he will take the blame for killing the Korean royal family!
How could Li Huo be so virtuous and capable of tarnishing his reputation? Is he worthy?
"I obey the order." Wang Chonggu happily obeyed his orders. After so many years, he, Wang Chonggu, finally defeated Zhang Juzheng in an upright manner!
Zhang Juzheng always felt that he was a courtier, or that Zhang Juzheng's New Deal could be separated from the Wanli Reform, but Wang Chonggu saw clearly that the Wanli Reform and Zhang Juzheng had long been inseparable. Zhang Juzheng was also a representative of the New Deal. His posthumous name is not his own, it is official.
"Your Majesty, the king of Hami has sent envoys to discuss internal matters." Chen Xuexue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, went out to report.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "This matter has been decided by the cabinet, and envoys from Hami are allowed to pay tribute. The Ministry of Rites communicates carefully and leaves no room for mistakes."
Hami, with four losses and four gains, finally arrived in Jiajing In eight years, the Ming Dynasty completely lost the Hami Guard, and Hami became the last tear of the Ming Dynasty outside Jiayuguan.
The king of Hami mentioned by Chen Xuexue is Mir Mahima, the governor of Hami who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Longqing.
