Chapter 449: Soldiers use force to avenge injustice, and seek virtue to stay close and to protect those far away
When a mistake is so big that it becomes a joke, the mistake will not be acknowledged.
Either continue to be wrong or distort the facts, there is no other way.
This is the basic logic of the operation of society, and it is also the reason why small and trivial mistakes often turn into huge disasters.
The Ming Dynasty’s reconciliation with the Northern Lu, Longqing’s peace talks were naturally due to the fact that Anda Khan was really good at fighting, and it was also due to the Ming Dynasty itself, that is, the Jin Party, which was born based on the Northern Lu invaders, had deep roots and Jiajing If they really attack Ada Khan in the late and Longqing years, the Jin party will not only be unable to help the court, but will become a resistance.
It is true that the Jin Party has a self-respecting attitude towards the rebels. It has repeatedly lied about the military situation, causing turmoil and unrest in the capital. It has been a mistake for the Beibei to knock on the pass many times, tacitly knowing it, and preventing the imperial government from issuing decrees that were unfavorable to the Jin Party. Pushing forward a mistake, the Jin Party and the imperial court gradually went against each other.
As the leader of the party, Wang Chonggu had only two choices: make the mistake to the end and continue to threaten the court with captives, or find a way to make this joke disappear completely.
The first option was unrealistic. Qi Jiguang went north in the second year of Longqing. By the Wanli period, Qi Jiguang led 100,000 guest soldiers and guards in Jizhou. The northern captives could no longer go south, and the Jin party and Not even Anda Khan can be a match for these 100,000 strong soldiers. After Qi Jiguang took charge of the Beijing camp, even the humble Confucians shut up and avoided talking about anything involving Qi Jiguang.
When others accuse you of rebelling, you'd better really have the strength to rebel, then no one will accuse you.
So, there is only the second option to make this joke disappear.
Now! Whoever attacks him again, Wang Chonggu, is willing to flatter the captives, deceive the court, and seize the rewards, and when it is revealed that he will fight Qian Shen Yanran again, Wang Chonggu can say with full confidence: I am bearing the humiliation and bearing the heavy burden!
The fact is that the Jin Party is trying to support the invaders to respect themselves, but with Anda Khan being captured in the capital, the Jin Party has a way out. Even if it distorts the facts, it is logically consistent, and even looks extraordinarily reasonable.
When Anda Khan had a strong army and strong horses, the Ming Dynasty could not defeat it. It was true that it could not defeat it. In order to prevent the military disaster from spreading in Shanxi, Gyeonggi, and Shandong, the Jin party could only endure the humiliation in their hearts and play tricks on the captives. , to prevent them from joining the invaders. Now that the Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the Ming Dynasty wins, all their forbearance will be worth it.
Ada Khan was captured, your majesty had the dignity to avenge the Taoist priest; the court had the dignity to get rid of the reputation of being a coward; the Jin Party had the dignity to step down; the world had dignity, it turned out that I am the Ming Dynasty It is still the invincible Ming Dynasty.
When internal conflicts become so intense that they are irreconcilable, they often resort to external warfare through war. This is very dangerous. If you can win, everything will be fine. If you cannot win, everything will be lost.
The intensity of the conflict varies. If it becomes irreconcilable and there is no means of relief, then one party can only be completely destroyed. At that time, you need to take up a knife to kill.
Obviously, the opposition of the navigators trained by the Maritime Academy to the imperial decree was not so intense that killing people was necessary.
"Your Majesty has seen clearly that the main contradiction is that the powerful rightists are dissatisfied with the court's direct interference in maritime trade matters." Wang Chonggu repeated his Majesty's words and said sincerely.
Zhang Juzheng recovered this time. Even if Zhang Juzheng failed to recover, His Majesty could still ask for "Contradiction Theory", "Public and Private Theory", "Production Diagram" and "Class Theory" to analyze the problem and get it to the point. Crucial.
In fact, these few small books do not have much power, but these few small books, coupled with the supreme imperial power, the tyrannical Beijing camp, and the navy, play an immeasurable role.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "In fact, I can understand the thoughts of the boatmen on this matter. By studying in the maritime school, they have mastered the art of guiding stars across the ocean. According to the production diagram, this is because they have accumulated their own experience through learning. Experience, experience is a person's fixed assets, and the current expansion of the imperial court has made it possible for their fixed assets to shrink."
"In the relationship between supply and demand, when supply is insufficient and demand is strong, their worth will naturally increase. The rising tide lifts the boat. I can understand their difficulties and hope that they can understand the difficulties of the court. The Ming Dynasty needs more boat masters as the sea is in full swing. "
There is no solution to the dilemma in this world. In this way, someone's interests will inevitably be harmed.
"Your Majesty, everyone follows the herd. Naturally, there are people taking the lead. Half of the people are enough to control 95% of the people. The reason why the boat masters dare to defy the imperial decree so openly, Obviously someone has prepared a sufficient and bright escape route for them. It is inevitable that Haoyou will be dissatisfied with the interference of the imperial court. In fact, it is very easy to handle. In the future, the boat master will be tested every three years. If he passes the test, he will be given a letter. If he fails, he will be tested. There is no need to cross the ocean." Zhang Juzheng gave his own method, exams, he is good at this.
It is said to be an examination, but in fact it is management. Through administrative means, the court strengthens the control of the emerging group of boat masters.
Wang Chonggu said with a little helplessness: "Meat eaters are despicable. Obviously the expansion of enrollment will benefit these luxury households, but they have been short-sighted and only saw the immediate interests. They opposed the interference of the imperial court. From Yongle to In Wanli, the official ships of the Ming Dynasty no longer sailed to the sea, and these Zheshe households did not see the prosperity of maritime trade."
Wang Chonggu was the top official in the official selection, and he was also a member of a famous family. The monopoly class in the upper class saw this problem from his standpoint. In fact, he felt that the expansion of enrollment would be beneficial to the wealthy households.
"This is the problem. Why do they encourage these boatmen to resist the imperial decree?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu.
The Maritime School has expanded its enrollment to promote the development of maritime trade, and the cake has become bigger, which is extremely beneficial to every Zheshe household who seeks to make profits in maritime affairs, but they have chosen to explore crazily on the boundary between life and death. .
Wang Chonggu could actually understand the thoughts of these Nanya merchants. He thought for a moment before speaking: "On a cow, the price of each part of the beef is different. There is a difference between beef tenderloin and beef offal. Yes, the boat master is not a simple labor force, but also a network of connections, a huge force that can be gathered to influence the court's decision-making. Only by controlling the boat master can we firmly control the beef tenderloin. "
"Similarly, the current scale of sea trade is already very large. The five major shipping companies of Mizhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Yuegang, and Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the overseas shipping companies of Nagasaki, Ryukyu, Luzon, and Jiugang, now have 100 ships a year. The tax share is 3.4 million silver. With such a large scale, there are already many ships offshore. There are more wolves and less meat. The Zheshe households who are already on the shore actually don’t want others to continue to come ashore. "
Wang Chonggu said from both sides. Discussing this issue from various aspects, the Zheshe households did not care about the Ming Dynasty, maritime trade strategies and other matters. What they considered was their own homes and the interests in their own hands. A thousand birds in the forest are not worth as much as one. In their hands, what they care about is whether the tenderloin or the pork belly is given to them.
Also, we don’t want more people to join the game. There are already many, many people making money in maritime trade in Ming Dynasty.
More fierce competition means less profits. Fierce competition means either finding ways to reduce costs or finding ways to eliminate opponents. It is obvious that improving productivity, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding profits require huge investment, and eliminating opponents will While the methods are endless, they are also cheaper.
This is a game of discourse power.
"To put it more simply, they want to become a monopoly class, or to ensure that they are a monopoly class, so they are so tempted." Wang Chonggu summarized, and he answered His Majesty's question based on his own experience.
This is why Zhang Juzheng immediately asked if it was Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi as soon as he heard about it, because Sun Kehong had sufficient motives to ensure his monopoly position.
"Then let's take a look at the outcome of the negotiations between Governor Shen and Zhou Shi." Zhu Yijun made a preliminary summary and looked at it step by step. If Zhou Shi's request is not excessive, the Ming court is willing to transfer part of it. Interests, destroying people's wealth, such as killing parents, the court wants to move people's interests, why don't they allow people to resist twice?
Zhu Yijun had lunch at the Quanchu Guild Hall and said that he would give Zhang Juzheng a month's holiday, which means a lot of one day. Zhang Juzheng's body has recovered, but it still needs to be recuperated. The best recuperation is rest. For Zhang Juzheng like this For a character, rest is an extremely luxurious thing. He is really too busy on weekdays.
Wang Chonggu finally arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion to work. This was the first time he dealt with general affairs after five years in the cabinet. It had only been seven days, and he was completely tired of this job. Even the donkeys in the mill were not so busy. of.
There were too many things that happened. Some chief envoys and inspectors teamed up to evade the governor. The governor complained about his grievances. It was not like Wang Chonggu had never been a governor. Wang Chonggu knew clearly how much power the governor had.
As a last resort, Wang Chonggu shared his experience with these governors on how to control their subordinates. It was just a treat. He set out to see the interests of his subordinates and see clearly who could be used and who could not be used. , divide the interests; decapitate, kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, find the chicken, deter the monkeys, it does not have to be killed, removal will make them more painful; accept the dogs, and the people who can be used become your own team.
The real situation will be more complex, and methods need to be used alternately frequently.
Wang Chonggu picked up a memorial and saw that a large sailing ship from the West arrived at the port again. This time there were ten large sailing ships. There were four million silver in them. In addition to silver, there was also copper. The total transaction volume of raw materials, fish oil and other items exceeded 9 million silver. This time, the imperial court collected as much as 540,000 silver. This was a pure tax.
This was originally a good thing, but soon, the officials of the Nanya Metropolitan Procuratorate began to complain again. The issue they talked about was the purchase of five-masted ocean ships. Taixi can buy them. Is it reasonable to say that the Mughal Kingdom can buy the great Ming Dynasty who would rather give it to a friendly country than a domestic slave?
Coupled with the fact that the navy masters jointly opposed the expansion of maritime school enrollment, it is obvious that this is a complete set of punches.
"Money confuses people's hearts." Wang Chonggu wrote the floating notes. He sincerely hoped that Zhang Juzheng would return to the court as soon as possible. All these bad things were left to Zhang Juzheng to deal with.
Sanniangzi who lived in Huitongguanyi, after Anda Khan returned to Beijing, began to communicate with the Minister of Rites, Honglu Temple, hoping to have an audience with His Majesty, and then resigned.
Anda Khan was arrested, and her stay has become an issue that the court avoids talking about now, mainly because it does not know what the emperor means.
The third lady still has her charm, but she is getting older after all, and she is still the wife of the king. According to the past style of the Ming Emperor, the emperor will naturally not do anything, but what if His Majesty just wants this?
The third lady's identity is now that of a prisoner. After Anda Khan dies, she is a survivor. The bones of Anda Khan are not yet cold, and the third lady is panting in bed. This kind of thing is not impossible to happen.
In the Jingkang Disaster, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured. The concubines and princesses were all humiliated several times. Ming Yingzong was captured. The maids who served Yingzong were all turned into playthings, so they were allowed to set fire to them. Emperor Ming was not allowed to light lamps?
After the Song-Mongolian coalition attacked the Jin Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty general Meng Gong, in order to avenge the humiliation of the Jingkang Disgrace, led more than a dozen of his men to take turns humiliating the Jin Kingdom’s Queen Tudan, a total of nineteen people. , some raised their feet, some bit their lips, some threw their arms, and painted "Meng Gong After Tasting".
There is a poem that says: The soul and bones buried in the Imperial Ancestral Temple have withered, and the nine temples offer military prisoners in revenge. Fighting incense and abandoning snow in Qingfeng Town, who wrote the picture after the general tasted it.
Wang Chonggu naturally knew that this incident was false. When Jin Aizong fled in Bianjing City, the queen mother, empress, concubines, and princesses all hanged themselves.
But what is His Majesty’s holy will is what Wang Chonggu must consider.
This matter mainly depends on His Majesty’s wishes.
Wang Chonggu thought about it and posted a blank ticket. Whatever His Majesty wanted to do, he should do it quickly while Zhang Juzheng was taking a rest for a month. At first, Hai Rui, Wan Shihe, and Zhang Juzheng opposed the third lady's visit to His Majesty, but Zhang Juzheng was able to Wang Chonggu did not dare to stop him, so he simply went with his Majesty.
Wang Chonggu did not know that Zhang Juzheng had never stopped the emperor from being ridiculous in this matter. Zhang Juzheng even wanted his majesty to be more ridiculous. His majesty is a nineteen-year-old boy, but his heart is like a tree and he does not care about it. Things are moving, this is the turmoil in the country that has ripened His Majesty, but for His Majesty personally, it is not a kind of sadness.
So Zhang Juzheng has always hoped that His Majesty would be more wild and ridiculous. Now that he is rebellious, he is still here, and he can still clean up for Your Majesty. It would be better than having no one to clean up the mess in the future when he is gone.
Soon, the cabinet received an approval from the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace, allowing Mrs. Zhongshun to visit the prison, and ordered Mrs. Zhongshun to visit the Wenhua Hall tomorrow.
Wenhua Hall, not the Imperial Study Room of Tonghe Palace. Under normal circumstances, if His Majesty wants to do something, Mrs. Zhongshun will not go to the Heavenly Prison to visit the prison, let alone have an audience in Wenhua Hall, but directly He was taken to Tonghe Palace.
Obviously, His Majesty is not prepared to do anything.
Sanniang Zi was actually very worried. The enemy’s princesses all ended up extremely miserable after their country was destroyed and their family was destroyed. After the Battle of Yuerhai, Emperor Tianyuan of Beiyuan escaped alone and was quickly captured by Yesu Die’er. After seizing power and killing him, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed. However, more than a hundred people including Dibaonu, concubines, and princesses, the second son of Emperor Tianyuan, were not so lucky, and were all captured by Lan Yu.
There are rumors in the grassland that Lan Yu has an affair with all of these concubines. Many of these concubines have become camp prostitutes, and some have committed suicide in shame and anger.
Sanniangzi didn’t know what her fate would be like. She hid a dagger under her pillow. Once the emperor really planned to throw her into the imperial camp as a prostitute, she would commit suicide immediately. Anyway, she would be completely reconciled. Her political ideas have been realized, and Ming will not be too harsh on the border residents, and they will even live a better life. In fact, she doesn't have much to say.
Sanniangzi didn’t know that there were no prostitutes in Beijing camp at all...
Sanniangzi received a reply. The emperor allowed her to visit the prison and also allowed her to pay an audience in the Wenhua Palace before returning home. After receiving the emperor’s approval , Sanniangzi breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.
In fact, she still couldn't forget about climbing the dragon's bed. If she had another child, it would be of great help to the complete reconciliation between Daming and the grassland.
Unfortunately, His Majesty did not seem to have this intention. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was actually in power on the grassland and was pampered. She did not have the sallowness caused by the weather and the sun. She looked closer and saw that there was a slight tinge in the corners of her eyes. Small wrinkles can barely be considered beautiful. Beauty requires a material foundation, and the third lady has no shortage of it.
Liuhua is intentional and water is ruthless.
Zhu Yijun called Sanniang Lady Zhongshun from beginning to end and treated her as a courtier. Sanniangzi arrived at Beizhen Fusi. After Beizhen Fusi checked the approval document and Sanniangzi's letter plate, he led Sanniangzi into the sky prison to visit An Dahan.
Adahan was too old to move. He leaned against the wall, looking at the light cast by the skylight, reaching out to touch the light, his eyes were cloudy.
"Coming?" Anda Khan was not confused yet. He knew who was coming and said with a smile: "The emperor has some conscience. Since you can come, it proves that the emperor will not be embarrassed." You are a figure."
Sanniangzi was a little dumbfounded for a moment. She looked at An Dahan through the bars of the cell, shook her head and said, "You are very generous, and your wife is being played with. "You?" Ada Khan sneered and said, "You can't climb up. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty lacks everything, especially beauties. The emperor has such a character. How cautious can you be to get within three feet? "
"Alas." The third lady failed to hurt An Dahan. She had a grudge against An Dahan. Robbed.
Ada Khan knew the emperor very well. Sitting in that position, he had to be so cautious, otherwise all his great achievements would only be reflected in the mirror.
"This emperor is unreasonable. When his father agreed to the peace negotiation, he tore it apart. After the peace negotiation, I slacked off and lost unjustly. And Qi Jiguang, too. It's too powerful." An Dahan was still a bit stubborn. He felt that the crime of non-war was falling into the Ming Dynasty's conspiracy.
Da Ming openly negotiated for peace, but constantly reconciled internal conflicts and overcame all difficulties. Zhenwu just wanted to avenge the past.
Everyone saw Li Rusong's bravery, but Anda Khan knew that he lost to Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiguang's step-by-step approach.
Even if Dong Hu asked Changshengtian for help, he really beat Li Rusong away. Anda Khan could not win the decisive battle. Qi Jiguang did not even give Anda Khan a chance to fight.
Since the beginning of the war, Qi Jiguang has never given An Dahan the slightest chance.
"What if you were young and vigorous?" Sanniangzi asked curiously.
“You can’t beat Qi Shuai even if you are young and vigorous. Qi Shuai is also over fifty years old. Isn’t it embarrassing to lose to Qi Jiguang? No, he is just such a person. The Central Plains is so vast and rich in resources. Forget it, if I had met him when I was young, I would have run away!" An Dahan shook his head. He had thought about this problem while being escorted to Beijing.
Can my younger self survive? The answer is no, he will just run away.
Losing to Qi Jiguang is not a shame, just like Jin Guo losing to Yue Fei, isn't that what it should be? ! Even the people of Jin think this should be the case.
“The Changshengtian is extremely angry at my worshiping Buddha. I am looking forward to the arrival of the rainy season, but this year’s grassland rainy season is ten days later than in previous years. Our grassland is at its weakest after the severe winter, and Daming’s firearms have been I have to give my best, but the weather is not with me." Anda Khan accepted his defeat calmly.
Changshengtian will not let him win.
If the rainy season comes, Andahan still has the energy to give it a try. Daming firearms are restricted by heavy rain, so it is difficult to win, but we can still give it a try. Unfortunately, the rainy season has not yet come when the city is broken.
Ada Khan felt that his defeat was not a non-war crime. The Ming Dynasty won without force and bullied him as an old man.
Victory without force is also victory. To conquer each other, we must do whatever it takes to win. Anda Khan was able to invade the capital, and he only found the opportunity when the Ming Dynasty's military preparations were slack. Ma Fang was able to withstand it It killed him and made him miserable.
"Actually, I'm surprised that you survived to the Ming Dynasty. I thought you would hang yourself when the city was destroyed." Sanniangzi asked with some doubts. She knew An Dahan very well, and An Dahan He was a very proud man and felt that no one could judge his sins, not even the Ming Emperor.
This is the pride that comes from long-term battles and repeated victories.
"Actually, I thought about committing suicide." Ada Khan sat up straight and said with some emotion: "But I surrendered in the end. It's not that I cherish my life. I am about to die of illness. We Yuan Yi and Lao The Zhu family has been fighting for more than two hundred years, and there must be a result. That idiot Tuman Khan still calls me a traitor. I think he, the sect leader, is the number one traitor in the grassland!"
" From now on, the grassland will rely on you."
Sanniang was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "Well, I'm leaving."
Idahan leaned against the wall again and stretched out his hand. When he reached the light and felt the warmth of the light, he was already dying. He would occasionally recall those turbulent years in his youth. He fought in the north and south, and all the tribes in the grassland he fought were bowed down.
The next day, Sanniangzi met with the emperor at the Wenhua Palace, and then received the imperial decree of canonization from the emperor. Sanniangzi became the first chief envoy of the Chief Secretary of Suiyuan in the Ming Dynasty.
Suiyuan Chief Secretary, Yuncha Division, and Du Division are the administrative divisions of the Hetao, Guihua, and Jining areas in the Ming Dynasty. They are counties and counties. In the Ming Dynasty, there were two capitals and thirteen provinces. From then on, it became two capitals, fourteen provinces, and four The Great Overseas Governor's Palace.
The word "Suiyuan" is taken from "Salt and Iron Theory·Bei Hu", which says: Use force to fight injustice, and strive to be close and suiyuan with virtue.
The Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty has been seeking to upgrade Ryukyu from an overseas governor's palace to a solid county. However, the reason why it has not been carried out is that there is still room for exploration and development of Jilong Island, the large island in the southeast. insufficient.
Governor Songjiang is the governor with the highest official rank and the smallest jurisdiction among the governors of the Ming Dynasty. Shen Shixing only oversees Songjiang Prefecture. There is no smaller jurisdiction than this one, but no one will question the value of these four governors of Songjiang. .
Shen Shixing had two major things to do recently. The first one was the arrival of a large Thai sailing ship in the port. This was a large-scale trade. The second one was the matter of the boat master. He chose to handle it personally and ordered the boat to The teacher selected seven people to go to Songjiang Mansion Office to discuss the matter.
"Students pay homage to Futai." A group of seven people did not kneel down when meeting, but bowed. Not kneeling when meeting an official was the treatment given to boat masters by the Ming Dynasty. It was equivalent to the difference between a scholar and a scholar. Officials do not have to wear white clothes to attend ceremonies.
"Take your seat without courtesy." Shen Shixing's tone was very calm. He looked at the group of seven people with sharp eyes.
"You are deeply favored by the Emperor. If I admit it correctly, you are Shi Peng, whose real name is Shi Liu. You are from Kunshan. You were originally a refugee. You worked hard for the poor people on the ship. You are hardworking in picking goods. You are illiterate and talented. Ji Ji, enrolled in the first class of the Maritime School, studied for three years, and became proficient in arithmetic. Then he went to the Qintian Supervisor of the capital to work as an astronomy student for one year, and was employed by Songjiang Ocean Trading Company. At the beginning of this year, he switched to the Kunshan Business Gang. "Shen Shixing looked at the leader Shi. Peng.
Shi Peng was originally a refugee. After he opened the sea, he worked as a coolie on a ship in Songjiang Prefecture. Because he was smart, he spent three years reading and literacy when enrolling students in the Maritime School. He worked extremely hard. When the Maritime School first started, It was impossible to recruit any scholars. After several years of working in the sea, in fact, going to sea was still a desperate choice and leaving home.
So, most of the boat masters were like Shi Peng, who didn’t even know a few Chinese characters at first.
Shi Peng was only fourteen years old when he entered school. Today, seven years later, he has become a leader in the naval division and took the lead in opposing the imperial court's expansion of enrollment.
Shen Shixing said that they were deeply favored by the emperor, which is not without purpose. Only in the past two years has the Maritime Academy been able to recruit students who are scholars.
“Is Futai intending to use favors to force you to succeed?” Shi Peng raised his head and said, “What we have achieved today is all due to our own efforts!”
“Maritime Academy There are only two hundred people a year, but we were selected because we fought hard to get in! The school is very hard, and we have to memorize those star charts even at night. If we fail the exam, we will not graduate. The result of today is the result of yesterday’s efforts. The imperial court needs a boat master, and we have become a boat master through our own efforts.”
“What about kindness!”
Shen Shixing looked at Shi Peng. , then looked at the other boat masters, showed a somewhat sarcastic smile and said: "Three years in Maritime Academy and one year in Qin Tianjian. Let me ask you, have you spent a penny of your own money?"
"I..." Shi Peng's face immediately turned red!
"Wang Cifu said at the beginning that this maritime school was a charity school? Confucius taught without distinction and accepted disciples, but he still needed to be disciplined. Why didn't the maritime school take any money? The students had no money, so they could borrow money! Your Majesty didn't It’s accurate to criticize Wang Cifu harshly because he is only interested in profit.” Shen Shixing talked about an old incident.
The Maritime Academy does not charge tuition fees. When it was first founded, it was to quickly recruit and incubate naval officers, especially to train naval officers for the Ming Dynasty Navy. In order to quickly train them, we chose not to charge money. They even provide for three meals a day and medicine.
The big hole in the Maritime Academy was blocked by the Songjiang Sun family, who donated more than one million silver intermittently over the years.
Wang Chonggu proposed a way, that is, if he has no money, he can borrow it, and then he can repay the money when he has a skill and becomes a boat master.
After this proposal was put forward, it was severely criticized by the emperor. Shanxi merchants were very fond of loan sharking, especially on the grasslands. Wang Chonggu was embarrassed. As a result, his majesty has raised a lot of white-eyed wolves. .
After seven years, His Majesty was hit hard by his own boomerang.
"Why don't you speak?" Shen Shixing picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Now, you are being pushed to the forefront again, but you don't know it, and you are still complacent. , I am so important, no one can care about me, I know that the big bosses behind you promise you that if something happens, they will try their best to save you, and ensure that you and others are safe and prosperous for a lifetime."
"Shi. Peng, do you still remember how you became a refugee? Your parents borrowed money from a good person. Because they couldn't pay it back, the only four acres of land they had left were annexed. Your father died of illness, and your mother You were thrown into the river, your two brothers were sold by a kind man and disappeared without a trace, one of your sisters was sold to a brothel and died six years ago, and your family's tile-roofed house was eaten up by people in the same village. "
"Now that the big boss has made a promise to you, you believe it. Their promise is bullshit. Don't you know it yourself?"
"You really don't have a long memory at all. Reading makes you You have a great skill, but it doesn’t teach you about the evil nature of people’s hearts. Maritime school still has to teach you about contradictions and class theory.”
Shi Peng and the boat master who came with him were ashamed and angry. Shen Shixing’s words made them stunned as if they were struck by lightning. In the same place, over the years, their status has become higher and higher, their income has increased, and they are surrounded by praises. They have gradually lost their way and forgotten the pain of the past.
Shen Shixing’s words awakened the memories rooted in their bones, or burst the bubbles of fantasy around them.
"I..." Shi Peng didn't know what to say.
"What am I? I asked you to come here today just to tell you that what the imperial court gave you can also be taken back. Within three days, you will immediately rework and get on the ship. If there is any mistake, your boat master's letter plate will be taken back. Don't think that the imperial court You can't go to sea without you. If you haven't returned to work in three days, I will mobilize the navy's Gundo boat division to maintain the operation of the Yuanhang Trading Company." Shen Shixing's expression became fierce.
"I gave you a chance. According to Wang Cifu's words, you should immediately confiscate your boat master's letter plaque and stop your courtesy!"
The method Wang Chonggu gave was to mobilize the navy. The captain maintained the operation of the merchant ship, but at the same time immediately deprived them of their credentials, deprived them of their courtesy, and made them white-clad.
If Shen Shi's behavior is difficult, just put the contents of Wang Chonggu's floating notes on the streets around the city gate, and he will do this evil person.
Wang Chonggu no longer cares much about his reputation. Anyway, he has long been known as a traitor.
Shen Shixing has a much gentler personality, and he gave him three days and was willing to talk. He was actually protecting these boat masters. If he really followed Wang Chonggu's method, these boat masters immediately fell back to their original state. The huge gap in class will make life worse than death.
When merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty go to sea, they must check the boat master's letter plate. One boat master is enough for a ship.
Zhu Yijun agreed with Wang Chonggu's statement, but Shen Shixing was specifically responsible for the matter, and he also respected local opinions. In short, this matter cannot continue to cause trouble and affect the flow of business in the Ming Dynasty.
