Chapter 416 Wang Qian is indeed a dandy!
Zhu Yijun looked at the letter in his hand. The Queen's autograph letter had been translated into Latin. Thanks to the vigorous development of the Ming Dynasty Maritime School, Zhu Yijun was very proficient in Latin and even conducted some research on Latin. In addition, Haishitang completed the Latin letters. Latin is a phonetic text, and long and short sounds have different meanings. The Ming Dynasty standardized them.
Zhu Yijun's Latin is excellent, so he doesn't need to learn a foreign language.
The promotion of Latin and the Grand Tour activities all represent the cultural convergence of Thailand and Spain. After cultural convergence, political and military convergence will inevitably occur. This is a manifestation of the centripetal force between Thailand and Spain; and there are four versions that appeared in front of Zhu Yijun Translation, which represents the conflict and divergence of local colloquialisms from Latin, is a manifestation of the centrifugal force of Europe and the West.
At this time, Europe and the West were repeatedly torn between unification and independence and autonomy. Latin was widely used and widely opposed, which showed its contradiction.
There is no Qin Shihuang in Western Europe.
The way out for Felipe II's feudal system in Spain requires a major premise, which is to use tyrannical force to squeeze everyone together, and then talk about shaping it. Without this premise, discussing the political system , is not very effective, and this kind of tyrannical force is not only tyrannical at sea, but also needs to sweep everything on land.
Felipe couldn't do it. He had been plotting against Portugal for twenty years. There were four ways to advance, but he gave up because it was a lot of money. Felipe always hoped to use a smaller price. To expand territory, such as marriage.
The letter of credence from the Queen of England in Zhu Yijun’s hand also has a huge significance, that is, the competition between the West and the West in the Age of Discovery has officially begun.
The feudal conservatives led by Portugal and Spain, and the emerging bourgeoisie manor owners, workshop owners, and slave owners led by England, France, and the Netherlands (Netherlands) began to compete extensively on the great voyage. In the fierce collision of shields, the sparks that burst out were the gains. These political, economic, cultural, and military gains made the West the future maritime hegemon of the West.
The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets existed in Europe until World War II.
After Zhu Yijun read the "Letter of Credence from the Queen of England to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty", the queen greeted the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the letter, calling Zhu Yijun: the great, powerful and invincible emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then introduced The purpose of this mission was to open up a route to the Thames River and England would have enough goods for exchange.
The Queen of England complained in her letter about the robber and tyrant Felipe. Spain, which controlled the free city and the shipping route, was extremely domineering and carried out inhumane blackmail on the English merchant ships, and the English merchant ships had to carry out In retaliation, the villain talks nonsense into the emperor's ears, molding the English into pirates.
I hope that the Ming Dynasty can confirm the list of goods with the special envoy. George Weymouth brought many samples of goods, including fine woolen cloth, exquisite silverware, and distilled whiskey.
Zhu Yijun was not interested in these goods, but he still confirmed the list of goods with George with great interest.
The Age of Discovery was an era full of blood, plunder and tragedy. The glory of the Age of Discovery was made of the blood and bones of slaves. Compared with the Red-haired Fan, the Golden-haired Fan’s colonial rule was even more cruel and inhumane. Red-haired Fans at least doctrinally recognize that the indigenous people of the New World are also the people of God. At least in the governor's offices of Peru, Brazil and other places, the original indigenous people are human beings under the law, but Golden-Haired Fans tend to be more decisive in doing things and run towards the goal. The country was destroyed and the clan was exterminated.
The Indians were massacred, and the perennial trade deficit between the Tatars and Great Britain made Great Britain anxious and chose to solve the problem by dumping opium.
After George left, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said enthusiastically: "Sir, I have thought of a way."
The courtiers trembled violently, and every time His Majesty Whenever you have an idea, it means that some people are going to be unlucky! For example, the Tax Inspection Institute, rich households replenishing the capital, and arithmetic and contradictions in official selection.
Now, after meeting the English envoy, His Majesty has a new idea!
"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Zhang Juzheng asked tentatively.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan went to London once, and this time Xu Fan went to London for the second time. From the information collected these two times, England is very fragile. "
"All it takes is a five-masted transatlantic ship loaded with worsted, woolen woolen and cotton cloth to arrive in London, and I am afraid that the fragile local workshops in England will be completely destroyed! Another five-masted transoceanic ship carrying some long and short soldiers, bows and arrows, muskets, gunpowder and other items can completely mix up the water in England."
"For example, sell it to Scotland and Ireland."< br>
This is a traditional play, pouting inside and out. Zhu Yijun has used it several times.
Destroy the opponent's pillar industry of handicraft workshops, causing it to fall into economic depression, and then go around to attack the centrifugal forces, arming those centrifugal forces, greatly strengthening the centrifugal force, and making them miserable.
"This is too difficult, we are too far away from England." Zhang Juzheng did not think that His Majesty's idea was bad. The methods he used to torment Annan were no gentler than this.
The main problem is that it is beyond our reach.
The Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to extend long-arm jurisdiction to the West.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, nodded and said: "It is true that we are separated from England by thousands of mountains and rivers, but Felipe, King Henry of France, and Queen Mother Catherine are very close to England. It happens that England and them are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. If there are some minor conflicts, please leave them to Legas to write them in the travel notes and give them to Felipe.”
England is known as the West's shit-troublemaker. Their favorite word is these four words, which are both provocative and provocative.
Now it's England's turn to enjoy this treatment.
At present, the development of Thailand and Spain is still immature, both economically and politically. This combination of destroying other people's pillar industries, entering into capital operations for cheap acquisitions, supporting opposition forces, causing a storm of public opinion, and then triggering social unrest Boxing has not yet sprouted.
"Your Majesty is a saint." Zhang Juzheng choked and chose to sing a hymn. The scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty attach great importance to reputation and self-cultivation. No one would be so unscrupulous in doing something that harms others and does not benefit oneself. Bad idea, and the main foreign policy of Ming Dynasty is Rouyuan people.
So, the Ming Dynasty’s scholar-bureaucrats and Ming Gongs couldn’t think of Zhu Yijun’s method of proposing a pout, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud. It was simply insulting to politeness!
The French envoy is a very beautiful man who speaks like a woman. Zhu Yijun couldn't help but shudder when he remembered what Xu Fan said in his memorial about the King of France's love affair with men who dominated state affairs. , without even saying a few words, he sent away the French envoy and ordered him to leave the Ming Dynasty quickly.
The Queen Mother Catherine de Medici had many bad rumors, which were widely circulated in Europe and the West. She was called the Viper Queen. It was even rumored that she had an affair with her son Henry III, but Zhu Yijun I don't quite agree with this statement.
Xu Fan's thick memorial said that Catherine brought French romance to Paris, including perfume, gloves, high heels, forks, ice cream, knight's underwear, lady's corset, diamond cutting, mathematics, and painting. And sculpture, Queen Catherine's artistic achievements are very high. Michelangelo once carved the family tomb statues for the Medici family, and Catherine was one of the witnesses and assistants.
The Bourbon family has been seeking the position of King of France and establishing a Bourbon France, and it is about to succeed. Catherine is struggling to support it, but Xu Fan believes that it is becoming increasingly difficult for Catherine to sustain it.
In this regard, everyone is helpless. The endogenous contradiction requires Catherine to find a way to solve it herself.
To solve internal conflicts externally, resorting to war is a good way. However, Queen Mother Catherine's husband Henry II has already tried it. In addition to owing a large amount of war loans and empty national funds, there is no gain. This solution , we must win, otherwise it will aggravate internal conflicts.
After the four envoys left, Zhu Yijun discussed with the court officials for a long time. Because of Antonio's relationship, the Ming Dynasty was very likely to fall out with Spain, but the premise of this fall was that the galleon trade could not be cut off. This was the Ming Dynasty. The demand of Ming Dynasty was that the Ming Dynasty needed an inflow of silver, which was also the demand of Felipe II. Felipe II gave up the galleon trade, which completely benefited Antonio in vain.
As for the hidden worry of falling out with Spain, the relationship between Ming Dynasty and England can be good. Anyway, it is just a greeting. Whether there is business exchanges or not depends on the results of Ming Dynasty's exploration of routes.
From the accounts of the English envoy George and the French envoy, it is not difficult to see that in the West, Spain and Portugal have a monopoly on navigation technology. The two envoys could not leave the cabin at all, and all their belongings were confiscated. With a compass, you can neither get a needle map nor see the starry sky. This monopoly has made Golden Retriever's exploration extremely painful, but there are still some results.
Elizabeth I gave Ming a nautical chart. This nautical chart did not overlap with Spain and Portugal. It was mainly used to explore the northeastern part of North America, such as the Hudson Strait (today's northeastern Canada). It was only used in summer. Navigation could only be opened in late autumn and early autumn, and Ming Dynasty obtained part of the information about the Hudson Strait. For example, there was heavy fog there all year round, and there was also a group of indigenous people who ate raw meat and used dog sleds.
This is a brand new route that is not very profitable. It seems to just express England's spirit of exploration. The explorer of this chart is none other than George Weymouth, the special envoy to the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Yang Deren has been caught." Zhao Mengyou walked into the imperial study room of the Li Palace in a hurry and bowed his head to report.
Tishuai was able to report directly to the emperor, which prevented Beizhen Fusi from being under Dongchang. This was a balance for leaving the palace.
Yang Deren, Yang Tinghe’s grandson, one of the big bosses of Erfang, the culprit who forced Yang Youren to hang himself. Yang Deren learned from the General’s Mansion that it was not the General who was targeting the Yang family, but His Majesty. At that time, Yang Deren immediately planned to escape. He didn't even organize Yang's property in Beijing, but took some valuables and ran away directly.
In order not to be caught by the Ming Tiqi, Yang Deren did not go to Tanggu in Tianjin Wei and take a boat ride south. Instead, he pretended to be a merchant on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and took a boatload of lanterns south to Hangzhou. Yang Deren planned to Sailing from Ningbo Ship Division, the destination is Manila, Luzon.
Xu Jie died, but Xu Fan was still alive, which gave Yang Deren hope to live.
Yang Deren almost ran away, but was caught by Nanya Ti Commander Luo Bingliang. Yang Deren is still a suspect, and he was arrested to investigate Yang Youren's death.
Any crime will be brought to justice, at least those crimes brought before His Majesty.
Yang Deren was arrested. After being taken to the sky prison, he was not punished with the five poisons, nor was he sent to the prison to be frightened. As soon as he sat on the confession chair, Yang Deren confessed everything about Yang Youren's death. , it was indeed him who forced him to do it. Yang Deren also guessed that the Penglai Huang family was probably one of the emperor's vests. What Yang Youren offended was not the general, but the emperor, so he forced Yang Youren to show his dignity.
This matter was originally in the past, but the Zhutou case broke out, and Yang Deren also gave a clear account of all the things Yang did in Sichuan.
One of Yang Tinghe’s grandsons was Yang Chengren, a driver who went to Sichuan. The donkey was pulled at the door of his house. The old man who drove the driver quickly cleaned it up, but Yang Chengren forced the old man to eat the donkey dung and eggs. Only then did he let the old man go. The old man took his two little grandsons with him in the car. Not long after, the two little grandsons starved to death in Xindu.
Yang Deren has a cousin named Huang Xiuli who wants to bring trouble to the village and controls the water. Anyone who doesn’t pay him enough money will not use the water. Things gradually develop to the point where girls from all over the country have to use water before they get married. She wanted to be sent to his home to have fun. Huang Xiuli taught her enough rules so that she could get married. A man named An Sanwan couldn't bear the humiliation and stabbed Huang Xiuli in the street with a knife.
Since then, Huang Xiuli still acted rampantly, but he did not dare to force him anymore. Of course, An Sanwan was beaten to death without anyone caring about him.
There are many such things. Just looking at the case files, Zhu Yijun felt that his blood pressure was rising!
"Where has Wang Qian gone?" Zhu Yijun closed the case file and asked coldly. Feng Bao and Zhang Hong did not dare to say anything. When His Majesty is angry, he will slam the table and curse angrily. , will lose his temper, and when His Majesty is extremely angry, he will be very calm. At this time, someone will often be sent to Jiefuan.
"According to the pace, we should be arriving at Chengdu Mansion soon." Zhao Mengyou bowed his head and said.
Wang Qian’s journey was very noisy and noisy. Whenever he went to a certain place, he would become restless. Whenever he goes to a place, he must visit the brothels, and the drama of jealousy is played out again and again. It can be seen that he is arrogant and domineering, and even goes around asking for bribes. Whenever the hospitality is not good, Wang Qian will be furious and make things happen. Officials complained, and memorials to impeach Wang Qian were hurriedly sent to the capital.
The behavior of this kind of playboy is very consistent with the rumors of Wang Qian. He is a playboy, spends a lot of money, hangs around brothels, has no knowledge and skills, and is the only one of his subordinates. My son, it’s not strange to be arrogant, but it’s strange not to be arrogant.
Wang Qian was like a wild beast out of the cage, wanting to completely release his suppressed nature in the capital. He even led his people to suppress the bandits himself. Wang Qian couldn't even catch the weasel that snatched the old hen. He still dared to suppress the bandits, and the accompanying Qianhu did not stop him, but just went along with him to cause mischief.
Walking to the Land of Abundance, Wang Qian's arrogance turned into lawlessness, and he walked arrogantly along the way, fearing that others would not know that he had arrived.
Wang Qian and his men made a big fuss in Wenchang Temple, and then went to Xue Tao Well to urinate.
The water in Xuetao Well is extremely clear, surrounded by stone railings, and there is a pavilion on the well. It was built by the Prince of Shu's Mansion. This well is a sweet water well used by the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and it is also the water for Shu tribute paper. It can be said that it is It was hard to find water, and it was completely ruined by Wang Qian's urine soaking.
After making such nonsense, Wang Qian entered the city from the east gate with satisfaction, passed Daci Temple, and moved into the Metropolitan Mansion.
Wang Qian leaned back in his chair carelessly, asked Ti Xing Qianhu beside him and said: "Zhao Qianhu, what do you think we should do to be more like a dandy, so that this person in Shuzhong can Can the Bangwang family believe that I am really a dandy?”
Zhao Qianhu thought for a while and said: "Wang Yushi restrained himself a little, so it looks very similar."
Wang Qian spent his own money to visit the brothel. When Wang Qian entered Shu, he brought two full carts of money with him. It's about one hundred thousand taels, and the more these two carts of silver are used, the more they will become.
With his sacred mandate, Wang Qian inspected the local customs along the way. Wang Qian’s standard is: the more beautiful the brothel girls in a place are, it means that the people here live in extreme hardship; the more ugly they are, it means that the place is The common people live a decent life. If it is too ugly to swallow, then the local officials will undoubtedly live in peace.
Wang Qian’s standards are strange, but very reasonable. Two Tiqi Qianhu visited it themselves and reached the same conclusion as Wang Qian.
Wang Qian actually doesn’t know much about politics and people, but he really understands brothels. There are few girls in this brothel and the quality is poor. It means that the people can survive without selling their sons and daughters. The number of luxury households in a place It's limited. Only if the competition in this building is not fierce can ugliness be allowed to exist.
As for being jealous, Wang Qian did it deliberately, firstly to shape his character, and secondly, to test the penetration of local wealthy households into the yamen.
If the local government does not even dare to ask questions when they hear that he is a child of a certain prominent family, then this place is not headed by a court official, but by a Zheshe household, so there must be a "half-county family". That's the liquidation list.
Wang Qian went around asking for bribes, which was a trick he used in the capital. He said it was fishing, but in fact he was looking for corrupt officials. Whenever he lost a bribe, Wang Qian had to take a copy of it and wait for the Ming Dynasty Sword Hai Rui to liquidate it. , the more bribes you lose, the more bribes you receive, so you can check it accurately.
Everyone doubts that Hai Rui is very corrupt, but few people know that Wang Qian has been working hard silently. He not only knows how to buy, visit brothels, and investigate foreign affairs, but he can also fish. .
It is even simpler to make a fuss at the Wenchang Temple. This good Confucian temple has become a place where filth and evil practices are hidden. A group of brokers and compradors live in the Confucian temple. Wang Qian originally created a character of being conceited and generous. He got mad and smashed the Confucian Temple to pieces inside and outside.
Wang Qian will naturally also go to Zhuge Temple in Qingyang Palace (Zhuge Temple and Wuhou Temple were separate in the Ming Dynasty) to worship. This is one of the sacred orders given by the Ming Emperor. If Wuhou Temple is also operated like a Confucian Temple , Emperor Ming can send troops to investigate the case? Counterinsurgency!
"Be a little restrained? I can't restrain a little." Wang Qian stretched out a finger and waved it a few times and said: "The local prominent families are intertwined. If I don't pretend to be a drunkard, how can I paralyze these guys? ?”
“Are you sure Wang Yushi is pretending?” Zhao Qianhu frowned. It didn’t look like Wang Qian was pretending. Visiting a brothel was not a pleasure at all. It's just a pretense, it's just his nature.
"You slander me! I want to interfere with you!" Wang Qian crossed his legs and retorted bluntly. He was indeed a playboy. He had never denied it. After leaving the capital, he immediately Stop pretending, show your cards, he, Wang Qian, is the evil man.
Wang Qian has become familiar with the two Tiqi Qianhu. A person like him cherishes his life the most. During the suppression of bandits, the Tiqi people protected him well and allowed him to witness the suppression of bandits. The whole process, this trip to the middle of Shu was by no means easy. Wang Qian and Tiqi Qianhu had a harmonious relationship, and their lives were in their hands.
"The governor is here." A servant of the Wang family came in and reported.
Wang Qian immediately stood up, tidied up his appearance, and immediately transformed into the appearance of a noble man. He quickly said: "Please, please quickly!"
Wang Wang Qian needed the cooperation of local officials to completely handle the emperor's mission. Therefore, Wang Qian immediately became polite to local governors and frontier officials, without looking like a villain at all.
Sichuan Governor Wang Tingzhan and Sichuan Commander-in-Chief Liu Xian came together.
Wang Qianhe and the two of them exchanged pleasantries, talking to each other as students, without showing any signs of dandyism. Sometimes they admired Liu Xian for his achievements in fighting the Japanese, and sometimes he admired Wang Tingzhan for not shielding his fellow disciples for public and private reasons.
"The Chief Secretary, the Chief Secretary, the Chief Inspector, the Inspector General, and the Inspector General are all here." Wang Qian looked at Wang Tingzhan and asked solemnly.
Wang Tingzhan sighed and then said: "Well, I haven't come yet, Wang Yushi, last year there were only 140,000 hectares in Qingzhang, Sichuan. Do you understand, in the land of abundance, this is how much land is needed?"
"I understand!" Wang Qian said seriously.
Sichuan’s problem is huge, much more serious than imagined.
Liu Xian thought for a while and said: "The troops I can mobilize are only 3,500. Two thousand households bring 500 cavalry. That's 4,000 people. That's all I can mobilize. "
"Qi Shuai wrote that the tiger father has no son, and Wang Yushi is not as playboy as he appears. He asked me to cooperate as much as possible. Yuan Fu also said the same."
Wang Tingzhan. Before he and Liu Xian came, they actually had no expectations. Judging from the rumors, this Wang Qian couldn't get anything done at all. What could such a playboy do?
However, with the guarantee of Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng, the two came anyway. As soon as they met, they discovered that Wang Qian was not the loser he was rumored to be.
"Did Qi Shuai and Yuan Fu really say that? Oops, I'm really flattered." Wang Qian didn't expect that he was not a complete thing in the eyes of Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng. This It completely exceeded his expectations.
Zhang Juzheng briefly revealed in his letter that Wang Qian had an investment of 120,000 silver from His Majesty to open the sea, which was the investment share raised solely in Wang Qian’s name. This sentence is solid. It truly proved that Wang Qian was the one who got into His Majesty's pocket.
Kaihai Investment consisted of the emperor himself, national funds, the three parties of Shanxi, Chu and Zhejiang, and Wang Qian. The only natural persons in it were the emperor and Wang Qian. Although it was only a mere 120,000 taels, compared with the huge number of 37.12 million taels, it was not Worth mentioning.
"What does Wang Yushi plan to do?" Wang Tingzhan asked doubtfully.
"Dandy to the end! Have a banquet and treat guests to dinner!" A smile appeared on Wang Qian's lips. Wang Qian was a dandy who read the theory of contradictions. He felt that the problems in Sichuan were too serious, and Zheshe households were really There are too many, and a batch must be killed physically.
The conflict has completely intensified, and if you want to return to a state of reconciliation, you need to prune it severely.
Wang Qian explained his plan in detail. This plan was very bold. He was actually worried about the objections of Wang Tingzhan and Liu Xian, but after he finished talking about the plan, they were impressed by the plan. Twinkles of light, full of interest.
“Just do it!” Liu Xian slapped the table, shook it three times, stood up and said, “Governor Wang and I had planned to do this!”
Liu Xian counted the troops he could mobilize. Naturally, he ordered troops only when he wanted to kill people.
Wang Qian is really a loser. If he comes to Sichuan to brush up his resume, Wang Tingzhan and Liu Xian will take care of it.
Liu Xian has always been known for his boldness, and has also been criticized.
Liu Xian was an imposter when he took the military examination. He was from Jiangxi and pretended to be a martial arts examiner from Sichuan. He had just joined the army and when he was crusading against the Miao rebellion in Yibin, Liu Xian was trapped in the camp. In fact, the military examiner did not need to be trapped in the camp. , Liu Xian went to a place like this and worked hard to make a future, and was awarded the title of Deputy Thousand Households for his merit.
After leaving Sichuan to quell the Japanese, he went to Zhejiang and served as the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Dusi. In Pukou Gang and Liujiazhuang, Liu Xian wore single clothes and led four riders to lure the Japanese to an ambush and annihilated them all in one fell swoop. At Langshan, he secretly boarded a Japanese ship to investigate and pacified them. Duzhangman even committed a terrible crime. From then on, no one in Duzhangman accused Liu Xian of committing too serious a crime.
Liu Xian is that kind of person, he is so bold. Wang Qian is really a loser. Liu Xian will also do some shocking things. In the worst case, he will tie himself up in the capital to plead guilty. One person can change the peace of a province. Liu Xian Also admitted.
Wang Qian's plan, in a simple summary, is to ambush five hundred swordsmen and use the cup as a sign, which coincides with Liu Xian's plan.
Wang Qian reviewed the plan again and said: "I want to hold a banquet in Huayang Mansion. Then Governor Lao Wang will send a letter on my behalf, inviting all the virtuous rural gentry from all over to gather together and have a great time. "
"Easy to say, easy to say." Wang Tingzhan chose to cooperate. Sichuan Qingzhang was unable to push forward. He couldn't handle it. The big stick of passing the law was smashed on his head. He couldn't make any progress and lost his future. , is his regret.
Being laughed at for being incompetent is something Wang Tingzhan cannot accept no matter what!
Being scolded is better than being laughed at!
In the early morning of the next day, a piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chengdu. Wang Qian, relying on "My Second Assistant Father", arrived in Sichuan and refused to pay a visit to the governor. The governor condescended to condescend to him. As a second-rank official, I went to see the little censor of the seventh-rank official, but they ended up having a big quarrel and broke off a door.
The person who said this swears that he saw it with his own eyes. He is the door!
As soon as this rumor came out, the noble families breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Qian, it turns out that donkey dung eggs are shiny on the outside, gold and jade on the outside, and rotten on the inside.
