Chapter 261 In war, casualties are inevitable

Chapter 261 In war, casualties are inevitable

The story of the Ming Emperor fighting fiercely for three hours, repelling and chasing the assassins, quickly spread in the capital. The style of these storybooks and storytelling are all They are very unanimous, praising His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom and martial prowess. Emperor Zhenwu appeared and split open Fahai Temple with one sword. The Taifu was trapped in the battle and the king rode alone to help. What stood out were the two main subjects of the emperor's bravery and the emperor's rescue of his ministers.

This is obviously the public opinion of Wan Shihe organization after receiving the instruction.

In terms of public opinion, Wan Shihe has done a good job. He knows why His Majesty wants to shape this kind of public opinion, protect the New Deal and protect Zhang Juzheng. Wan Shihe presides over mainly miscellaneous newspapers, storytelling, and scripts , novels, supplemented by the public opinion machine, began to fully activate.

As for novels, the serialization of "Journey to the West" has begun. This "Journey to the West" sequel is like a cycle, a rebellious flower and fruit that is not afraid of anything. The story of "The Man Behind the Mountain" reshapes the human world. The story is very cliché, but this book is the product of the public opinion machine of the Ming Dynasty.

Wan Shihe completely surpassed Ma Ziqiang in the field of publicity. Ma Ziqiang often lamented that he, the Minister of Rites, was really unqualified and always picked up on Wan Shihe's back. Yes, Ma Ziqiang wanted to mobilize his subjective initiative, but he was not as good as Wan Shi and Feng Ying.

Wan Shihe is now a flattering courtier.

“Oh no, it’s not that dangerous. Except for the encounter on the mountain road that lasted for a quarter of an hour, there was a pursuit battle afterwards. I bit the enemy’s tail and let the camp complete the encirclement. In fact, there was no fighting, but running I'm really tired." After reading a few storytelling books, Zhu Yijun hurriedly closed them, blushing as he read them.

In a small-scale encounter, the iron armor equipped by Tiqi was completely overwhelmed in terms of armament, military discipline and quantity. In this storybook, Zhu Yijun is like a demon descending from the sky. , he is really like the Tai Sui God in the world. He enters and exits seven times in the Xishan Mountain. Occasionally, he will perform magic, heaven and earth, transform into the Zhenwu Emperor, and carve out the Xishan Grand Canyon.

It’s too exaggerated, it cuts through the mountains with one blow.

Take Zhu Yijun's iron armor as an example. It is made of iron in name, but in fact it is steel. During the battle, it cannot be broken apart by heavy weapons such as the powerful bow and the butt hammer, but the powerful archer cannot break it. There are only twenty-eight in ten thousand miles, and there are no more than thirty tiger-powered sharpshooters in the Beijing camp.

The most effective armor-breaking weapons of the Ming Dynasty are artillery and flat guns. Flat guns can break iron armor within thirty steps, but the incoming bandits don't even have a heavy hammer.

Zhu Yijun’s battle was not as dangerous as described, mainly because he was a little tired from running.

"Sir, are you awake?" Zhu Yijun did not leave immediately, but remained in Yicheng's Mansion. He was waiting for Zhang Juzheng to wake up and have a chat when he woke up before leaving.

Zhu Yijun was really afraid that Zhang Juzheng would commit suicide to express his ambition. There was already a Zhu Wan in the Ming Dynasty, which would have such a bad political impact and even become the trigger of the Japanese invasion.

"I'm awake and taking a shower." Zhang Hong bowed his head and said. You Qi had come to report. Zhang Juzheng had already woken up. After three hours of sleep, his energy level was restored.

Zhu Yijun put away the fishing rod, twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and said angrily: "Take my featherless arrow slingshot, these fish in the wild goose pond have no respect at all!"

Zhang Juzheng's retirement life is very comfortable. He doesn't have to run around if he wants to fish. There is a wild goose pond in front of his house, and there are big fish in the pond. Generally speaking, Zhu Yijun fished here for more than an hour. , no matter what, one or two fish must have taken the bait, but there was none, not a single one, and the fish were even swimming around on the shore, seeming to mock Zhu Yijun for being a disgrace to the fisherman.

Zhu Yijun wanted to educate these fish, and the fish in Taiye Pond became very obedient. As soon as the emperor's footsteps came, there was silence in Taiye Pond.

Zhang Juzheng came to see him after washing up. He was speechless and choked for a while when he saw the fish the emperor had caught. The fish that were flying back into the pond were all shot to death by the emperor's featherless arrows.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng chatted for a long time. After learning that Zhang Juzheng had really changed his mind, he handed Zhang Juzheng the narrative book and storybook and asked Zhang Juzheng to take a look at the trend of the matter.

Wan Shihe is now not only following the wind, but also the creator of public opinion. This kind of responsive propaganda is to preemptively occupy the high ground of public opinion. In the war of public opinion, he is the first to publish the public opinion. Joint shaping has the best effect. Even if there is a reversal later, some people will not see it, but someone will definitely see it at the first time. Wan Shihe's quick response can save a lot of trouble.

Qi Jiguang finally finished cleaning the battlefield and returned to the Yicheng Prefecture. He asked to see His Majesty and report the results.

"I see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty pays you your respects." Qi Jiguang and Zhao Mengyou saluted, and they looked at Zhang Juzheng with complicated expressions.

"Excuse me, Qi Shuai, Tishuai. Is there any result from the investigation?" Looking at their faces, Zhu Yijun knew that something was not going well, otherwise he would not look at Zhang Juzheng like this.

Zhang Juzheng stood up, bowed his head and said, "I will stay away for now."

"No problem, let's listen together." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that everyone should sit down and talk, no need to be restrained, Avoid what? Wen Zhang, Wu Qi, Zhu Yijun humerus, no need to avoid it.

"All clues point to sir." Zhao Mengyou's words were like a thunderbolt. The evidence completely pointed to Zhang Juzheng, and formed a complete chain of evidence. Zhang Juzheng only needed to be supplemented with Zhang Juzheng's personal signature to convict Zhang Juzheng. .

But there is a lack of Zhang Juzheng’s handwriting.

It’s not that I don’t want to forge it, it’s just that I can’t find it.

"It's very similar. Gao Gong's handwritten instructions for Wang Jinglong's case back then are still vivid in my mind. This moment is exactly like that time. It's so similar!" Zhu Yijun leaned on the back of his chair and talked about old things.

In the first case of assassinating the king and killing Jia Jia, Gao Gong's autographed letter appeared and was authenticated. In the second case of the palace fire, all the same clues pointed to Gao Gong. Zhu Yijun got Gao Gong's hand. The court came to ask, and Gao Gong simply admitted it.

Gao Gong is very suitable for taking the blame, and it is easy to settle old accounts, and Gao Gong also understands that at that time, his death would be the best explanation for either party, so Gao Gong chose He confessed, but after careful investigation, Zhang Siwei was finally found.

This case pointed directly and completely at Zhang Juzheng, but there was a lack of conclusive evidence.

Zhang Juzheng’s handwriting is not easy to get. The letters written by Zhang Juzheng to the major governors would be copied by You Qi. The copies were sent away and were originally going to be sent to the palace. Zhang Juzheng did this. In fact, it was to avoid suspicion. What he said to the border ministers was clear to the palace.

Therefore, the palace is the only place where Zhang Juzheng's handwriting is stored, and the place where Zhang Juzheng's handwriting is stored is in Baoqisi.

In the absence of Zhang Juzheng’s handwriting, it is impossible to crucify Zhang Juzheng as the instigator behind the scenes. Who made Zhang Juzheng the emperor’s Yuanfu Taifu? His handwriting cannot be obtained at all. It is better to forge it randomly. make.

Zhang Juzheng's handwriting in the early years was mainly in Taige style, which was the writing style advocated by Sanyang during the Zhengtong years. It was the same as what was printed on the printer and was very square. However, after Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet, , the handwriting became wildly cursive, and later on, I used a lot of pencils, and my pen-holding habits were different, which caused great changes in my handwriting.

So, Zhang Juzheng’s handwriting is really difficult to forge.

"It's really all deliberate." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with great conviction: "No wonder sir didn't let me come over."

Zhu Yijun didn't believe that Zhang Juzheng had not thought of these dangers, so the reason for his refusal to see the emperor was obvious. He did not want the emperor to be in danger.

A former chief minister who has lost his power is so dangerous. Therefore, in the rules of the game in the political arena, it is completely impossible to retreat if you do not advance. There is no possibility of retreating bravely. Zhang Juzheng, who has seen the sinister people's hearts, Ding You had already thought about his fate before, because he had seen it many times, from Yan Song to Xu Jie to Gao Gong.

The trees fell and the hozens scattered; the walls fell and everyone pushed them away.

Even with the emperor's holy family, it is still extremely dangerous, and who knows if the emperor is testing Ming Shenzong to see if he has any thoughts of coming back after abdicating the throne. He talks like flowers, but people are far apart. In the face of power, everyone will fall into endless suspicion. This is also the reason why officialdom is a complete zero-sum game.

Tishuai will continue to investigate. Qi Jiguang reported the results of the battle. All the more than 500 desperadoes who fled into the mountains and forests have been killed or captured. The entire Xishan Mountain has been turned upside down, including the fields. All the earthworms were pulled out and inspected to make sure nothing was missed.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng talked several times before returning to the palace with a bunch of tails.

The Ming Dynasty captured a total of more than 300 people alive. These people came from all over the world, including northern captives. The northern captives under Anda Khan and Tuman Khan, thieves from Shandong, and thieves from Zhejiang The majority of the remaining Japanese invaders were from the North. These desperadoes, just like Chen Zhuang, actually had no idea who was hiring them. They were all following orders, but it was not clear whose orders they were following.

The existence of the information cocoon room makes these more than 300 people have no idea who to take orders from. They have different opinions, and these people spread rumors. The clearer they explain, the more complicated the matter becomes.

The only thing that is certain is that hiring these people only costs twenty taels of silver per person. This is the money to buy your life.

The only master who knows the truth has died in the battle, and died under the emperor's Qi family sword. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. When you are in battle, you must be prepared to be killed. Even if Zhu Yijun Even if you know that the opponent is a master, you will kill the enemy, because in the battle formation, you don't care about that at all.

Information cocoon rooms really exist. Just like 99% of people don’t know the names of their county magistrates and government offices, the unilateral blockage of information has also led to people working in information cocoon rooms not knowing the orders at all. Where is the source of.

So, the investigation of the case was immediately stuck. The identity of the boss was not mysterious. Everyone called him Gonggong, the water god Gonggong.

Gonggong is the god of water. The Ming Dynasty was a man of great virtue. It is self-evident what this water god is going to do. This is not the first time that the name Gonggong has appeared. The last time it was Wang Chonggu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, said that there was a big bandit in the south of the Yangtze River. Gonggong instigated everywhere, robbed homes and homes, and committed all kinds of evil. The court went to sea to arrest Tongwen and offered a reward for clues, but Gonggong had already escaped.

Then the Gonggong whom the emperor killed this time was really the Gonggong who stirred up troubles everywhere in Jiangnan?

Tishuai Zhao Mengyou thinks things are not that simple.

Zhu Yijun finished reviewing the memorial in his hand. There was another flood in Jiangnan this year, but it was not serious. The effect of dredging the river in Songyang Mountain in Nanya was excellent. This year's flood in Nanya did not cause much harm, but this time The drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi became serious.

The Royal Palace Museum of the Ming Dynasty talked about the formation of trade winds and rain last time. The southeast sea breeze carries a lot of water vapor, and the cold air from the north forms rainfall. However, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is that the water vapor in the southeast sea breeze It is declining, and the cold is intensifying. The cause of this celestial phenomenon is not yet clear, but it is extremely harmful.

Zhu Yijun actually knows some of the results. The Little Ice Age is getting more and more serious.

Emperor Chongzhen’s biggest enemy was a disordered world. There were also natural disasters. Wasn’t the Little Ice Age the year-round average temperature dropped by two degrees? How could it have such a terrible and bad impact?

However, under the small glacier climate, the West Lake would freeze during the Chongzhen period, and even Guangzhou would have snow every year on the ice where humans and horses could travel.

The rain belts of the Ming Dynasty are mainly concentrated in the south where there is little water shortage, while the north has become drier and colder. The mini-ice age will destroy agricultural production on a large scale.

Li Chengliang reported that the soldiers in Liaodong were working hard, but the price of food was so high. He asked for payment in kind to alleviate the hardship. At the same time, he asked for orders to reclaim wasteland. The person in charge of the reclamation was Hou Yuzhao. In the memorial, Li Chengliang said, What I am saying is that the rice in Liaodong is expensive, and the more money is sent to Liaodong, the more expensive the rice in Liaodong will be.

To solve this problem, in Li Chengliang’s view, the only way is to expand the territory and expand the farming area.

As the patrol commander, Hou Yuzhao has been reclamating wasteland from Zhangwu to the west. Now there is a war in the direction of Quaningwei, which is not suitable for reclamation, so he should go east.

Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Li Chengliang’s memorial. Zhu Yijun’s impression of Li Chengliang was extremely complicated. When Zhang Juzheng was still alive, this man was as obedient as he could be. The imperial court was looking east, but he even looked west. He couldn't even take a glance, but as soon as Zhang Juzheng left, the eagle dog raised by Li Chengliang, Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, began his fierce life. Zhu Yijun looked at the Kanyu map. The Ming Dynasty needed a blood bag. To survive this small ice age, a large amount of food was needed to enter the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this blood bag has been planned for many red-haired banana plantations in Southeast Asia.

Da Ming needs to know clearly the location of these plantations, the sea environment, intelligence, and mature sea routes. In short, if he wants to get all these plantations, he needs a A powerful navy.

The Governor of Songjiang Military Affairs, Wang Shuguo, wrote a memorial, asking for a partial reduction in the fishery tax. The fishery tax is divided according to the boat. A boat is worth thirteen, that is, a tax of thirteen kilograms for a hundred kilograms of fish. Wang Shuguo believed that this tax was too high. Fishermen had to endure hardships and hardships when fishing. It was too much for the court to directly take away 13%. Wang Shuguo asked for it to be reduced to 3%, and Wang Shuguo was extremely strict. He criticized the establishment of the Tax Inspection Yuan in harsh terms.

In Wang Shuguo's view, the emergence of the Taxation Bureau was an unjust act by the emperor who lost his benevolence. Whoever proposed the establishment of the Taxation Bureau was a sycophant who deceived the emperor. Wang Shuguo did not know that the Taxation Bureau The establishment of the hospital was the result of the emperor's insistence, and not even Zhang Juzheng could stop him.

Similarly, Wang Shuguo considered the decline in court taxes, so he came up with a stepped tax price.

For luxury households with an area of ​​more than 10,000 acres in Songjiang Prefecture, the tax increases to 45%; for businesses with a revenue of more than 10,000 taels, the tax increases to 50%.

Wang Shuguo also bluntly said that this tax law is the whip of the imperial court, a method in the policy tool box, and the emperor's hand and foot to control the world. If you sit in business and get three out of a hundred, this tax is really too low.

"This Wang Shuguo, I remember, is from Yongjia, Zhejiang. He studied under Yang Bo. He is a serious member of the Jin Party. Why did he suddenly become loyal to the emperor and the country?" Zhu Yijun was a little unsure after reading the memorial. Asked his secretary Zhang Hong about Wang Shuguo's political spectrum.

"Yes, Wang Shuguo, a member of the official family." Zhang Hong pulled out the memo and confirmed Wang Shuguo's identity.

Wang Shuguo comes from a family of officials. Wang Shuguo’s father’s uncle is Zhang Cong. In the early years of Jiajing, during the Great Etiquette Controversy, he was the Prince Taishi, the Minister of Libu, and Hua Gai who helped Emperor Jiajing with the Great Etiquette. Zhang Cong, who was a bachelor in the palace, served as chief assistant for three times, was given the title of Grand Master, and was given the posthumous title of Wenzhong.

This is the person that Master Dao misses the most during the twenty-five years of humiliation.

Jiajing was only fifteen years old when he ascended the throne. Yang Tinghe, an old man, relied on his status as a senator to form a political alliance with the Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace to suppress Emperor Jiajing. It was Zhang Cong who relied on the Taoist master, called He calls his own father his father, his own mother his mother, and the Queen Mother Zhang his aunt.

Zhang Cong, a mainstay of the reformists during the Jiajing period. In the 14th year of Jiajing period, Zhang Cong became seriously ill and became an official. The Taoist priests sent people to visit Zhang Cong every year at Zhenyi Academy in Yaoxi, Wenzhou, several times. An edict was issued to hope that Zhang Cong would return to the court, but Zhang Cong was ill for a long time and was never able to make the trip.

Zhang Cong, Zhang Juzheng in the early years of Jiajing, many of Zhang Juzheng's New Deals originated from Zhang Cong's New Deals, such as passing the official examination and passing the examination, clearing finances and taxes, returning land to the land, rectifying academic affairs, etc.

Wang Shuguo's teacher was Yang Bo, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was a serious apprentice, accepted Shu Xiu, and was one of the core figures of the Jin Party who paid filial piety every year.

But the progressive tax law introduced by Wang Shuguo is just trying to kill the powerful rightists.

Wang Shuguo's memorial expelled merchants whose revenue was less than 10,000 silver dollars. The tax law was formulated based on the basic idea of ​​asking whoever has money to collect money. The bitter situation requires the right wind.

In Wang Shuguo's view, merchants with a revenue of less than 10,000 yuan are just peddlers and do not deserve to be called merchants at all. Just like if the acres of land are less than 10,000 yuan, how dare you be called a gentry?

The power of the progressive tax law is an unimaginably terrible tax. Taking 50% as an example, if you earn 100,000 taels of silver, you will have to pay 50,000 taels of silver. The higher the income, the more painful it is. The reason why it feels progressive The tax law has no power, probably because the progressive tax law has not been applied to itself.

The reason why Zhu Yijun said that Wang Shuguo was loyal to the monarch and the country was because he criticized the Tax Administration. There was nothing wrong in criticizing because Zhu Yijun broke the contract.

Zhu Yijun once promised Zhang Juzheng that the taxation institute would have civilian officials in charge of the taxation institute, and local officials would manage it under the supervision of governors and inspections. However, Zhu Yijun broke his promise. The Tax Inspection Yuan currently does not have any civil servants, only Jinyiwei and Neifan. The Tax Inspection Yuan will pay the imperial court whatever taxes it collects.

Zhang Juzheng was not in the court and he did not trust civil servants at all, so Wang Shuguo scolded him very reasonably. Just like the Taoist master could not refute Hai Rui, Zhu Yijun did not refute Wang Shuguo's doubts about the Taxation Yuan. Because it was indeed Zhu Yijun who did something wrong and broke the promise. How could the emperor go back on his promise?

But Zhang Juzheng is not in court, so Zhu Yijun can only do this. He intends to have his own way, so Wang Shuguo's objection is just to express his position.

But Wang Shuguo's introduction of this stepped tax law can be said to be a punch in the waist of Shi Yaohao. It is also a way to stir up trouble for the return of land to the Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty. You don't want to be charged such a 40% tax rate. If you pay half the tax, just return the land honestly.

"Then let's stay in Nanya for the time being, try the effect, and then take it to Wenyuan Pavilion and give it to the first assistant Lu Tiaoyang. The matter will be discussed in court tomorrow." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Wang Shuguo's memorial and also replied to the question. Wang Shuguo did not understand the basic rules of operation of the Tax Inspection Institute. The Tax Inspection Institute first issued a reminder ticket, that is, a reminder, and only then did it collect taxes. Instead of collecting taxes first and then issuing reminders. Tickets, these are completely two concepts.

One is plundering by force, the other is collecting debts, which are totally different.

This is Zhu Yijun's daily life, reviewing various memorials and making choices one after another, deciding the direction of the Ming Dynasty. The early years of Wanli were the last opportunity for the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yijun must seize it.

"Hiss!" Zhu Yijun threw away the pen and shook his hand vigorously. His right hand received a blow yesterday, and the whole hand was a little weak, especially the little finger, which was twitching. pain.

"Your Majesty, please ask Feng Dajue to do the writing for you." Zhang Hong knew the extent of His Majesty's injuries. He couldn't use his right hand. It hurt his muscles and bones for a hundred days. During these one hundred days, Your Majesty still moved less. The right hand is better.

"Let Zhang Banban ghostwrite, I'll keep an eye on it." Zhu Yijun didn't ask Zhang Hong to call Feng Bao over. Feng Bao, as the ancestor of the palace, was also very busy. This was just a temporary assignment and did not involve to Feng Bao's power.

Zhu Yijun still could not understand Emperor Wanli's laziness and unwillingness to review the memorials. He just let others do it for him. He didn't even want to read it. He could just ask the eunuch and eunuch to print it in front of the emperor.

But Emperor Wanli refused to sign the official letter, and the Ming Dynasty was suspended for more than twenty years. The damage to the system of the Ming Dynasty was no less than that of the Little Ice Age.

Zhu Yijun could not imagine how disordered a future generation without red-headed documents would be. Under the Ming Dynasty's imperial system, without the emperor's seal, nothing could really be done.

Zhang Hong picked up the pen and knelt on the ground. His majesty said it was whatever he said. He didn't dare to change a word. His majesty was watching in front of him. Zhu Yijun couldn't stand it anymore and asked someone to move a table and chairs. Come over and let Zhang Hong sit on it and write.

Obviously, Baoqisi also had people from Feng Bao. It didn’t take long for Feng Bao to urgently request an audience. There was no cover up of his dissatisfaction with Zhang Hong. With these things in the memorial, Zhang Hong You shouldn't touch it. This is the authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the power of the ancestor Feng Bao. Zhang Hong shouldn't touch it.

"Feng Bao, please stop that look in your eyes. My hand was injured, so I asked Zhang Daban to ghostwrite. Looking at your fighting cock, Zhang Daban said he wanted you to ghostwrite. I thought you were busy, so I didn't call you. Are you okay with the temporary dispatch?" Zhu Yijun scolded Feng Bao as he looked at him looking like he was about to eat someone.

"I deserve death for my crime." Feng Baosu knelt down and apologized obediently. However, his words did not mean to follow the holy will at all. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is so generous. , because if I don’t fight, I will die in this palace. As long as word spreads, the people below will think that I have lost the holy family. Without His Majesty’s holy family, what is the difference between me and a wild dog on the roadside? "

"So, I have to fight."

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Forgive me. You are right. I didn't think about it. I just don't want to give in." You saw that my hand was injured, so you can write it.”

“Thank you for your kindness.” Feng Bao knew the character of the person in front of him, so he just spoke and his Majesty agreed. Yes, what a holy family this is.

Feng Bao also has to do something, and he also needs support. News in the palace spreads quickly. This kind of behavior can easily make people mistakenly think that Feng Bao will lose his grace if he loses his grace. Death without a burial place.

Feng Bao thanked him and started ghostwriting.

The next morning, the daily court meeting began. Zhu Yijun had been away from Beijing for more than five days. There was a backlog of memorials in the court that needed court meeting. Before so many important national events, the first assistant Lu Tiaoyang and the second assistant Wang Chonggu, the first thing he asked about was not the backlog of memorials.

"Your Majesty, I have some doubts. The notes I sent to the cabinet for approval yesterday were different from the previous ones, and there were three types of notes. I would like to ask why." Lu Tiaoyang must know whether something happened in the palace. What a earth-shaking event. Was the ancestor Feng Bao involved in the attack on Yicheng Bo Zhang Juzheng in Xishan, which aroused His Majesty's suspicion of Feng Bao?

This is a change in the political direction, and we must ask clearly.

"Sir, you always tell me that the emperor's body of gold is as high as a mountain and as firm as the sun and moon shining brightly. When you make a move, billions of people look up to you and act accordingly, which means that the emperor is entrenched in the world. If the giants on the entire Ming Dynasty turn over, the Ming Dynasty will be shaken three times. I am less than six feet tall, how can I be a mountain? When I saw it today, it was indeed like this." Zhu Yijun said with emotion.

Zhang Juzheng told the emperor that the emperor was a person admired by trillions of people. Zhu Yijun didn't believe it at first, but now that he believed it, he asked someone to write for him, making the first and second assistants feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

“In the case of Mr. Xishan’s attack and murder, I led my cavalry to help, and was hit in the right arm by a gangster. Although he had iron armor, the imperial doctor of Jiejuyuan believed that there was a broken bone and injured tendon. I'm afraid I won't be able to review the memorial in person during these hundred days, so I asked Feng Daban to write it for me." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to carry the iron Hun armor. The iron Hun armor was still covered in blood, and those exquisite pieces were still covered in blood. The texture is all blood red.

The blood is the blood of the enemy, and Zhu Yijun is not without cost. There is a pit on Tie Hunjia's right arm, not just the right arm, there are seven scars on it, with dents of varying degrees.

"I am not brave. I heard that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was never injured in battles in his life. I had to rest for three months in the first battle, which is incomparable." Zhu Yijun was full of calmness, and Li Shimin was a born general. , Zhu Yijun is a stubborn person.

Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande with 800 men and was able to win with 100,000 yuan. Zhu Yijun was injured even when he attacked a desperado.

"Your Majesty, I thought it was just the Spring and Autumn Period calligraphy and there was no record. I don't think Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was never injured during his whole life in battle. It's just that there is no record in the history books." Wan Shihe first expressed his opinion, and Li Shimin To fight for military merit is obviously overestimating one's own capabilities, but Wan Shihe doesn't believe it if Li Shimin has never been injured in his military life.

"Qi Shuai has never been injured." Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and shook his head.

"That's just because Your Majesty didn't see me crying out in pain." Qi Jiguang smiled and opened his sleeves. Xia Tian's court clothes were extremely thin, and a half-foot-long wound like a centipede appeared on everything. In front of people, it looks extremely ferocious.

“When I was pacifying the Japanese, I was injured by the Japanese pirates. When I first pacified the Japanese, I was defeated three times in three battles. Victory and defeat are commonplace for military strategists, and the same is true for injuries. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and arrows have no eyes. I won't fly around him just because he is Qi Jiguang." Qi Jiguang showed a rare humor.

That's what war is like, casualties are inevitable.

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Qi." Only then did Zhu Yijun realize that Qi Jiguang's mighty record was filled with scars. He thought that military talent would have a miraculous effect on immunity on the battlefield, but obviously it did not.

Zhu Yijun shook his arm and said with a cold face: "Dear gentlemen, if anyone with knowledge of the case of Xishan's attack on Mr. Xishan reports it, I will reward you heavily. If the conspirators report it, I will be exempted. The clan’s punishment was to punish only one of them.”

The meaning is very clear. Last time, the clan executed Zhang Siwei and his accomplices, but this time they still dealt with them with the highest standards, and the blood flowed like a river, which was equivalent to conspiracy.

Zhu Yijun upgraded the attack on Zhang Juzheng to the level of assassination of the king. This is to treat Zhang Juzheng as the Ming Shenzong in the past six years, and also to dispel the speculations of the courtiers about the gap between the emperor and his ministers.

The progressive tax system is an extremely terrible tax system for the rich. Those celebrities would rather risk their careers to escape. This is why. It’s not that I don’t know the danger, it’s just that I took the risk knowingly. Please vote for me. Ouch! !
