Chapter 167 Go and get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples


Chapter 167 You go and get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples

The Ming Dynasty lacked reference books for scholars, farmers, industry and merchants. Xu Zhenming compiled an agricultural book. Xu Zhenming, who studied under Ma Yilong, compiled agricultural books mainly on rice, Planting and reclamation of various crops such as wheat, hemp, beans, mulberry, cotton, kudzu, fodder, oil, sugar cane, bamboo, tung, sweet potato and potato.

In the article on reclamation, Xu Zhenming classified reclamation. One type is raw wasteland, which is land that has never been cultivated. The other type is mature wasteland, which is land that has been abandoned for three years due to various reasons. Arakada above.

For the land reclamation work, Xu Zhenming summarized Ma Yilong and his own land reclamation experience and gave a set of practical solutions.

As for how to recruit people and resolutely refuse to accept and eliminate lazy gangsters, there are also many ways to judge lazy gangsters. Firstly, they have to keep track of the local officials in charge, and secondly, they need to go deep into the people. Based on the inspection, the people will report on their own initiative three times. After the elimination, if the lazy people and gangsters are really unable to be persuaded and do not change despite repeated admonitions, they will all be sent to Jilong Island to log wood.

The Ming Dynasty was very skilled in relocating people. During the Hongwu and Yongle years, a large number of people were relocated. They had already become lazy people and hooligans. If they still refused to work hard, they were sent to Jilong Island. Just fend for itself.

In the first year of reclamation, half of the harvest from the acres of land was returned to the public warehouse. After that, all the acres were owned by the common people. In the next year, half of the harvest from the public barn was continued to recruit homeless people to work hard to reclaim the wasteland. This was done continuously.

There are also clear standards for reclaiming wasteland. First of all, the frost-free period must be more than 100 days, and the soil quality is suitable for reclamation. The soil thickness must be more than ten inches, there must be certain river irrigation, and the slope must be less than 25°, etc. .

For composting, collecting human and animal excrement, etc., the pit pile method is used when stacking, with one layer of straw and one layer of excrement, continuously stacked, and iron pliers are also used to insert holes. Sprinkle water and insert holes frequently for ventilation. The maximum temperature of the manure stacked in this way can reach more than 70 degrees, and within ten to fifteen days, the manure can form humus.

These experiences and skills are undoubtedly a good way to improve the livelihood of the people. If they can be implemented and implemented, why worry about the Ming Dynasty not being prosperous?

Land is the most important means of production in the Ming Dynasty, and the large-scale reclamation, effective utilization, and restoration of production of land can lay an important material foundation for the recovery and development of the agricultural economy in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, as the area of ​​cultivated land increases, the level of agricultural production also increases. Will steadily improve, reflected in mutual progress in breeding, sowing, seed selection, fertilization, soil maintenance, crop industry structure improvement, agricultural machinery, etc.

Zhu Yijun very much hopes that this agricultural book compiled by Xu Zhenming can be popularized and published all over the world, so that the people can really get some benefits in their pockets. The most basic truth is that when the people are full, He wouldn't go to Beijing and smash Zhu Yijun's head.

"What's the use of having a book? I printed this book for them, but I still do things based on advocating the ancients and Dharma for three generations. How can I guide the people to cultivate the land in a practical way? Don't do it. Talking about guiding the people, the last time Da Situ demonstrated the dripping rice, I was tossing and turning, and I was helpless." Zhu Yijun looked at the agricultural book written by Xu Zhenming and said helplessly to Zhang Juzheng.

From top to bottom, there is a wall of sighs that prevents the emperor’s grace and the power of knowledge from passing through and benefiting the masses; from bottom to top, this wall of sighs also blocks those who The most genuine and weak voice of the people could not be heard by the emperor.

It is difficult to do things, and it becomes even more difficult when some wind and public opinions make the water even more muddy. The common methods of this kind of public opinion include: wrong attribution, appeal to big ethics, disregard of facts, comprehensive denial, wanton distortion, malicious exaggeration, defamation of persons, emphasis on one-sidedness, forced attachment, binary opposition, ignorance and admiration of ancient times, and generalizations. Wait and wait.

This can partially answer some of the doubts of Luo Bingliang, the tax inspector, as to why the Qing Dynasty, which benefits the country and the people, was widely opposed, and even some common people participated in it and helped the tiger.

Originally, the purpose of recruiting scholars through the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was to break the wall of sighs. However, the scholars selected through the imperial examination either themselves or in the process of serving as officials for a long time, became the talking heads of the powerful. Running and shouting for the powerful became the bricks and stones of this wall of sighs.

"Your Majesty is too pessimistic. There are still people who do things in Ming Dynasty. They just need to be selected and changed little by little." Zhang Juzheng looked at those agricultural books and was full of confidence in the future of Ming Dynasty.

There is no kingdom of God on earth in this world. There are only endless troubles and contradictions. If one contradiction is solved, more troubles will follow.

Therefore, a scholar cannot be without great perseverance. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long, and the road is long and difficult.

Zhang Juzheng does not believe that the dynasty has been irreparably corrupted. Ming Dynasty's new laws can move forward steadily, even if they can pass the imperial examination into law, return the land to the land, revitalize the military and strengthen the army, collect taxes in six books and one account, and open up the sea. If one or two of these things are preserved, Ming Dynasty will be full of vitality.

The Han Dynasty has been full of loyal and good people from generation to generation. There has never been a shortage of people in all dynasties who are willing to risk their lives for the sake of the country. They are loyal, loyal to their heart, loyal to your majesty, loyal to the court, and loyal to the country.

What exactly are the Ming Dynasty and the Guo Dynasty? For the people of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty is the largest public and the largest collection.

Zhu Yijun strongly agrees with Zhang Juzheng's statement, otherwise Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang would not be in the court.

Zhu Yijun asked himself that he didn’t have much talent. If he couldn’t play anymore, the worst he could do was to flip the table!

"Last time, Sir, the Ministry of Household Affairs asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to submit a money bill. Did the Ministry of Household Affairs pass it?" Zhu Yijun remembered that Da Situ said that he wanted to mint money last time. Da Situ's money making was not just copper coins. There are also silver coins. The eight real silver coins from the West are not exquisitely made and have poor anti-counterfeiting. The production of Ming Dynasty silver coins to promote trade has been put on the agenda.

"It didn't go well." Zhang Juzheng said after a rare silence: "It failed to pass the ministry meeting."

"What is the main objection?" Zhu Yijun frowned and found the problem. Not simple.

Zhang Juzheng thought about it seriously and said: "Baochao Bureau prints Baochao, Baoyuan Bureau mints money. Baochao Bureau is under the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Baoyuan Bureau is under the Ministry of Industry. Although the Ming Dynasty Baochao has been abolished, Paper is gone, but the officials of the Ministry of Revenue still think that money should be printed instead of minted."

"This is the first reason."

Zhu Yijun was very understandable. Of course, the Ministry of Revenue was unwilling to hand over the power over money to the Ministry of Works. Zhang Han was deprived of part of the power over the Ministry of Personnel, so he went against Zhang Juzheng like crazy.

Even if it is the power to select officials, it actually still belongs to the Ministry of Personnel, which only prohibits appeasement. However, this method of filling in the official list and filling in the official list has allowed the Ministry of Personnel to suddenly rise from the top in the world. One piece fell down.

“But the banknote law has proven that it is not applicable to the Ming Dynasty. This has been proven repeatedly by history.” Zhu Yijun said very clearly that the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were too hard to wipe the buttocks, and no one was willing to accept them.

Paper currency, in the current productivity and production environment, has no circulation environment.

Zhang Juzheng said even more helplessly: "In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the Baoyuan Bureau returned from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of War. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao ordered the abolition of the Baoyuan Bureau of all provinces. So far, the yamen that minted money only The only Baoyuan Bureau in Nanya was left.”

“After the capital was moved to Beiya, there were two Baoyuan Bureaus in the north and south, but these two Baoyuan Bureaus could mint more than 20 million copper coins a year. It sounds like a lot at first, but it’s actually only 20,000 coins.”

“The reason why Emperor Gao ordered the abolition of Baoyuan Bureau and the implementation of Baobao was because there was not enough copper. Your Majesty, although the Ming Dynasty has all kinds of treasures. But there is really a shortage of copper. "

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, as the Ming Dynasty gradually stabilized and production resumed, money consumption increased. As a result, copper shortages occurred frequently in various places, and the banknote method became popular. , but after the banknote law was corrupted, there was still no solution to the copper shortage.

The Ming Dynasty started the law of making money and money. If there is no law, there will be no money.

It was so bad that during the Jiajing period, the old Taoist priests implemented new policies and new laws, and began to mint Yunnan copper coins. However, it was soon discovered that it was a drop in the bucket, and a lack of copper meant a lack of copper.

Yunnan Dian copper had been discovered in the Song Dynasty, but it was too expensive to transport it from Yunnan to the hinterland.

During the Tianli reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty issued an order to open mines. The copper mines in Yunnan were only two thousand kilograms a year. In the early Ming Dynasty, official factories were set up in Yunnan to mine copper, with an annual output of no more than ten thousand kilograms. During the Xuande period, the Yunnan government was abolished. mine.

During the Jiajing period, the New Deal Coin Law was used to cast coins. The output of Yunnan copper in Yunnan increased to 150,000 kilograms a year, which is 2.4 million taels, 24 million yuan. A Jiajing Tongbao weighed 1.25 yuan, a total of It can mint 19.2 million coins, which is about 20,000 coins.

The output of Yunnan copper soared. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, from the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, the output of Yunnan copper soared to 6.5 million jins, and then reached its historical peak of 10 million jins in the third year of Qianlong's reign.

"Can the copper shortage be solved through sea trade?" Zhu Yijun opened the sea when he was in doubt.

“There is no effect in a short period of time.” Zhang Juzheng shook his head. Two million and four hundred thousand taels of copper are equal to 20,000 taels of silver. There are too few ships on the sea. The profits and risks of copper trade , still not equal.

The dilemma of the Ming Dynasty. The banknote method has lost its broad public support, while the money method cannot be produced on a large scale due to the output and cost of copper mines. In addition to the lack of copper, the Ming Dynasty is also short of silver. The annual silver mine output is only one hundred thousand taels, or 6,250 kilograms.

Zhou Liangyin was very opposed to the Hu Ke affair. It was a losing business. The court gave one tael of silver, but it couldn't be exchanged for copper coins. Why did it need to be mined for copper? But if the imperial court does not mint money, what will the common people use it for?

"Mr., do you think the Banking Law is still the Banking Law? I see that the Ministry of Household Affairs Office is also arguing about this issue." Zhu Yijun asked about the direction of changes in the DPRK's decree.

Anyway, when he went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to submit a letter, Zhang Juzheng also had to post a floating stamp, so it was better to communicate in person.

"Your Majesty, the banknote law and the money law are not completely opposite, but a process of mutual promotion. The money law must have, and the banknote law must have it. If we look at them as completely opposites, it is one-sided. Only with the money law can we This mutually reinforcing process is also the law of development of things," Zhang Juzheng elaborated on his point of view.

It is inconsistent with the theory of contradiction to treat banknote law and money law as opposites.

"What Mr. said is like enlightenment." Zhu Yijun said with certainty: "The money law and the banknote law are opposite but unified. It is indeed in line with Mr.'s theory. The debate in the Ministry of Revenue seems to be a waste of time. It is It is caused by insufficient understanding of the theory of contradictions and too one-sided thinking. "

"Some time ago, I said that Mr. Annotation of the Four Books and Five Classics should be the official form of the world, and we should promote the theory of contradictions that all officials in the world should be familiar with. Refuse."

"It seems very necessary."

The money law is the basis of the banknote law. Without a large number of silver coins and copper coins, the implementation of the money law will deplete the people's wealth, even if it is a waste of money. During the Hongwu period, it was stipulated that regular banknotes could be exchanged for one tael of silver, but the imperial court did not have that much silver to redeem. This was the root cause of the corruption of the banknote law. A large number of them were issued indiscriminately, and private engravings by powerful men eventually led to the complete corruption of the banknote law. .

The banknote method is a supplement to the money method. In large-scale trade, tens of thousands of taels of silver are often traded. Using silver coins and silver to trade is risky, long-term and extremely inconvenient. This is also the transformation of the small peasant economy in the Ming Dynasty. important resistance.

Therefore, money law and banknote law are not always opposites, but a dialectical relationship of opposites and unity. How to implement administrative orders will test the ability of the administrator.

It doesn’t mean that you ordered silver coins to be minted, and then there were silver coins. Where did the silver come from, where did the silversmiths come from, and whether to roll or cast the silver coins, etc., are all problems that need to be solved.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Zhang Juzheng knew clearly that His Majesty's knowledge of contradictions was not bad, and His Majesty's attitude towards money law and banknote law was consistent with his.

Zhang Juzheng considered it for a while and said: "In fact, during the Yongle period, Yunnan copper once entered Jiaozhi through the Red River and was transported to Nanya by sea. However, the Red River was not suitable for river transportation. Then there was a local company in Yunnan that used the Yangtze River for transportation. If you want to expand Yunnan copper production, it is It's feasible, just order the chief secretary of Yunnan to open more Tongshan."

"Is that enough with a piece of paper?" Zhu Yijun said with some uncertainty. Isn't this just as unrealistic as the Nine-Headed Insect, the son-in-law of the Old Dragon King of Bibotan, who said to Benboba: "Go and get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples"?

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Yes, a government decree is enough. In the seventh year of Jiajing, it was also a government decree. With the support of the Duke of Guizhou, Yunnan began to open Tongshan. In just two years, , increased from 10,000 jins to 150,000 jins. Today, 150,000 jins of Yunnan copper is transported to Nanya Canal and transported to Beijing. "

"But later the DPRK and China objected. Under the influence of Yanli and public opinion, it stopped here."

"According to the original cabinet scholar Gui E's idea, the imperial court needed at least four million kilograms of copper a year, and the world needed at least one. Tens of millions of kilograms of copper material, that is, more than three billion copper coins, can supply the needs of the people."

"Gui E was impeached and retired because of his reputation, and then he was reactivated and retired the following year. Township."

Zhang Juzheng introduced the new money law from the seventh to ninth years of Jiajing. Gui E believed that the annual output of Yunnan copper should be more than 10 million jin to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty. Money is the drain of department stores. Without money, Ming Dynasty's finance and taxation would be a mess of bad debts.

Gui E was soon impeached and dismissed from office because of his reputation.

As to whether the imperial court was talking about profit or not, during the Jiajing period, Ying Li still had the upper hand. After all, the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty was still good at that time, and the northwest Ada Khan had not invaded the capital. , there are no Japanese plagues in the southeast, so the money casting is limited to 20,000 guan.

But during the Wanli period, the court's rhetoric turned into political correctness. From the seventh year of Jiajing to the twentieth year of Jiajing, the court could still afford to support the clan.

The problem is that I have no money and am poor.

With the implementation of clearing the land, expanding the tax base, drawing points from the Yuegang City Shipping Department and Songjiang City Shipping Department, collecting tax arrears, and six books and one account, the national tax of the Ming Dynasty has improved visibly. After all, even the internal funds are now filled with silver. The Emperor Hao Heng gave three taels of silver as an extra reward to the sergeants who participated in the battle of Daning Guard.

At the end of the second year of Wanli, the Ministry of Rites put a lot of effort into the lights of Aoshan, and spent all their efforts to make it lively and lively.

After the national tax situation improved, the unfavorable public opinion gained momentum again.

There is a Prince Mu’s Mansion in Yunnan, which is the Duke of Guizhou’s Palace of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang’s adopted son Mu Ying. Folks generally refer to the Duke’s Palace of Guizhou as Prince Mu’s Palace. For more than two hundred years, the Duke’s Palace of Guizhou has been in Yunnan , with the typical characteristics of a vassal state, but the Duke of Guizhou never disobeyed the imperial decree from beginning to end.

The Duke of Guizhou likes to annex. Each Duke’s Palace has more than 20,000 hectares of land. Xu Jie acquired 240,000 acres of land in his lifetime, 2,400 hectares. The Duke of Guizhou’s Palace is Xu Jie’s tenth times, but the court turned a deaf ear.

As long as the Duke of Guizhou still follows the orders of the Ming Dynasty, it will be the cornerstone of stability in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty and the pillar of the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. This is a tacit understanding between the court and the Duke of Guizhou.

There is a gap. The Duke of Guizhou has been in the southwest for nearly two hundred years and has not done anything bad. The Jin Party in the northwest has used a small knife to stretch the Ming's buttocks in just a dozen years. It was a good eye-opener and taught the emperor a solid lesson about the terrible consequences of conquest of rituals and music, celebration of rewards, power and punishment from the princes.

So, when it comes to Dian Copper, all we really need is a decree. Yunnan is not the northwest, and the Duke of Guizhou is not the Jin Party.

Because Yunnan is really too poor, the local area also needs an expenditure industry to maintain its livelihood. Some annexations and land conflicts in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty also exist in Yunnan, and the problems are also very serious. How to resettle these landless tenants, for the Chief Secretary of Yunnan and the State of Guizhou The government is also a test, but due to the political correctness of the government being unable to express benefits and gentlemen being ashamed to express benefits, Yunnan is also unable to speak up.

This paper decree is indeed a piece of paper, but it represents the common needs of top-down and bottom-up.

"In addition to copper coins, silver coins need to be cast. Copper coins are mostly used by small people, and silver coins are used by powerful people. Both of them need to be cast, but the specific casting method is still unclear. "Da Situ discussed." Zhang Juzheng made a conclusion.

Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "When can the specific regulations be discussed?"

"Before the end of the year." Zhang Juzheng gave a clear time. Before the fourth year of Wanli came, the fifth-class meritorious service Research will be completed on the formulation of reward plates, and the system design will be completed on government orders such as copper mining in Yunnan and imperial silver coins.

This is Zhang Juzheng. His examination method examines all officials in the world, including himself.

Although the emperor repeatedly said that Zhang Juzheng was a gentleman, Zhang Juzheng always maintained that he was an official, strict with himself and strict with others, and a gentleman was lenient with others.

"Your Majesty, the Tuman Khan will probably not accept the canonization from the imperial court." Zhang Juzheng is not optimistic about the issue of tribute from the Tuman because it is difficult to do.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion: "In the first year of Longqing, he asked for a title but was not granted, so he joined the Yongping invaders. Why did you say this?"

"Tuman" The Khan has always asked for tribute, not for the title of king." Zhang Juzheng explained Tuman Khan's specific request and made it clear.

After Mandulu, the young prince Dayan Khan married Mandulu's widow and eventually became the Great Khan of Mongolia. The young prince named himself Dayan Khan, which was actually the Great Yuan Khan. The young prince regarded himself as the leader of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhengshuo.

Ada Khan and Tuman Khan are both the grandsons of Dayan Khan, but there are differences between the direct concubines. Anda Khan is a right-wing alchemist, that is, a deputy khan, or a prince, while Tuman is a direct descendant. So they are all from the Golden Family, but Anda Khan was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, so there is no psychological burden at all.

But Tuman Khan is different. Tuman Khan is the Zhengshuo of the Great Khan, the suzerain, and was canonized by the Ming Dynasty. So Tuman Khan should not be a khan.

There are also politically correct people on the grassland. The Ming Dynasty expelled Hu Yuan. This contradiction has been deep-rooted for more than two hundred years. The suzerain Khan bowed his head and proclaimed himself, and the Tuman Khan was likely to be directly overthrown physically.

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Gongshi Gongshi is the market for tribute. Is this understanding correct? Since he refuses to bow his head and become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, why should he do tribute trade?"

"Let's talk about it first, and then talk again and again. The first time the conditions are the best, and he can agree to the best. The second time the conditions are not bad. If he refuses the second time, there will be no third time. "

"I obey the order." Zhang Juzheng obeyed the order of the leader and fought three poles with no dates. He was the best at fighting the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Lu for more than two hundred years. Now, we still have to fight until the barbarians surrender completely.

Zhang Juzheng was actually a little worried. The little emperor refused to fight. The conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Beilu was definitely not a matter of a victory, so he came to communicate with His Majesty, and found out The little emperor's evil face was revealed.

Tan Lun wanted to ride to Daning Guard, but was severely reprimanded by the emperor. The decree stated: It snowed heavily in the north. When Da Sima went to Daning Guard, he was not allowed to ride a horse, but must take a car.

Zhou Liangyin had a total of twelve censors, six in one car, and Tan Lun himself in one car. The inspection group, with a total of six cars, headed outside the fortress. As soon as they left Xifengkou, the road immediately started to get bumpy. Get up, this post road has not been repaired for almost two hundred years.

Although it was bumpy, Tan Lun looked excited. He had long been tired of staying in the mud-like court, so he finally came out for some fresh air. The emperor also arranged for a senior medical officer from the Jieju Hospital to accompany him and take care of him! It's simply abominable, using the emperor's imperial edict as a command arrow.

This guard did not allow Tan Lun to take risks. Generally speaking, he was not allowed to do this or that.

It takes a full four hundred miles from Xifengkou to Daningwei. The speed of the carriage is not very fast. There are also postmen at the post stations along the way. Currently, they are all served by Jizhou soldiers to ensure the route. smooth flow and supplies, deliver orders and disseminate battle reports.

During this trip, Tan Lun, who was in poor health, was fine at all. Zhou Liangyin and other censors were almost knocked to death, and several other censors immediately developed frostbite on their feet and hands. The frostbite was extremely itchy, and the accompanying imperial physician also told me not to scratch it.

The reason why Tan Lun was not frostbitten was that he wore a coat, a hood to warm his ears, and a cloak given by the emperor. These censors had no idea that it would be so bitterly cold outside the Great Wall and were not fully prepared. Forget it, you still want to wear silk and satin, thinking you are in the imperial palace of the capital?

"A hundred useless scholars!" Tan Lun looked at these censors and was so angry that he hadn't done any work yet, let alone responded to the enemy. He just made such a trip. , all are in various situations.

"Da Sima is also a scholar." Qi Jiguang reminded Tan Lun of his identity. Tan Lun was a scholar and a serious scholar.

Tan Lun held the waist knife in his hand and said: "My hands are itchy, do you want to try it?"

"Your Majesty wrote a letter and told you not to fight with others." Qi Jiguang did not intend to accept the challenge. , he did learn swordsmanship from Tan Lun, but Tan Lun's physical condition was much better at that time than it is now.

When Tan Lun heard this, his eyes widened! The emperor went too far and was even prepared for this.

He could only say dejectedly: "Hey! Am I still like porcelain that breaks at the touch of a touch? Look at those weak censors, who is stronger than me!"

"This is Your Majesty. Such benevolence." Qi Jiguang said matter-of-factly, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor was a kind king.

That’s right, in Qi Jiguang’s eyes, his apprentice, who is the best in the world in the youth group, is very kind and virtuous, not at all a tyrant as Yan Guan said. Look at Tan Lun’s trip to the border, His Majesty arranged it What is this but benevolence?

It is even more nonsense to say that His Majesty harshly criticizes the ministers of ears and eyes, just look at Hou Yu Zhao! The emperor is wearing a unicorn cloak. Is this treating him poorly? !

Qi Jiguang stood on the city wall of Daningwei, pointing his hand towards the north and said: "In one year, a city with a circumference of twenty miles will be built outside this earth wall. On the left is Qilaotu Mountain. On the right is Nulu Huer Mountain, with the Laoha River passing through it in the north. The Laoha River is used as the water source, and the city is built close to the mountains and rivers. Only the south is weak, but it faces Xifengkou in the south, so the enemy can only attack from the due north. Come."

"Once this city is built, Tuman Khan will not be able to capture it even if he has great abilities."

"Go all the way north and build a five-mile encirclement. There are seven in total, distributed on both sides of the Laoha River, with Taotu Mountain as the key and the horns of each other, facing each other offensively and defensively."

Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun discussed the defense of Daningwei, one big city and seven small cities. , is completely sufficient.

"The rugged old city fortress and desolate and empty garrison towers. Only when virtue is not in danger can you know that the king is safe." Tan Lun said with emotion. The Ningwei used to be the palace of Prince Ning of the Ming Dynasty, but now it is in dilapidated condition. Desolation.

In Tan Lun's view, this virtue is not benevolence, but martial virtue and kingly virtue. Kingly virtue refers to political and military aggressiveness, rather than blind indulgence.

Tan Lun looked at this piece of snowfield and said with a profound look: "Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty wanted to move the capital. He felt that he wanted to be long-term. He should move to Chang'an. He wanted to take advantage of the dangerous mountains and rivers and use the redundant troops to calm the world according to the stories of the Zhou and Han Dynasties."

"Song Taizong thought it was impossible, saying that virtue is not dangerous. He believed that virtue was benevolence, but in the end he was defeated in Gaolianghe, stole a donkey cart, and fled at high speed."

Benevolence and virtue are not enough, but martial virtue is.

Little Emperor: Go and get rid of Tang Monk and his disciples. Zhang Juzheng: How familiar do you want them to be? Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
