Chapter 490: Being a dog for Ming Dynasty is something you can do if you want to?
Xu Wei and Sun Keyi didn't mind at all when Oda Nobunaga attacked, igniting the gunpowder magazine and creating an earth-shattering explosion in Nagasaki, which attracted the imperial court to directly send troops to destroy the Japanese country.
Don’t be afraid of lack of people, because the people of Ming Dynasty who want to go to the Japanese country to kill the Japanese pirates can circle the earth three times hand in hand.
Oda Nobunaga was quite clear about this situation, and he could even tell that the Nagasaki Governor's Palace sent someone to notify him of the arrival of the treasure, and the purpose was to let him type it.
Crazy, the Great Demon King Owari’s evaluation of the Nagasaki Governor’s Palace was just these two words, but Oda Nobunaga was really helpless.
The coastal defense inspection responsible for informing Oda Nobunaga brought back an envoy of Oda Nobunaga, Kobe Nobutaka, who was wise and courageous.
Kobe Nobutaka is the second son of Oda Nobunaga. Because his mother was born in a humble background, the birth dates of Oda Nobuo and Oda Nobunaga’s second son, Oda Nobuo, overlap somewhat. We can only wait until the news of Oda Nobuo’s birth is released. , the news of Kobe Nobutaka's birth spread, and Kobe Nobutaka changed from the actual second child to the third child.
Moreover, Nobutaka Kobe became the adopted son of Kobe Gumori, the lord of Kobe Castle in Ise Kingdom, so he was called Nobutaka Kobe, not Nobutaka Oda.
Kobe Nobutaka is the most valued son of Oda Nobunaga. This time Oda Nobunaga sent Kobe Nobutaka here, obviously he wanted to solve some problems through peace talks, or to put it more bluntly, to delay some time. .
"Dear Envoy of Heaven, I come to pay my respects on behalf of my father." Kobe Nobutaka was very polite. He completely followed the "Fan Kingdom Rituals" and did not dare to make any mistakes or oversteps. He said submissively: "I am here to beg for surrender this time. My father's intention is the same as that of Ming Dynasty, both for the Yongping banditry."
"For the Ming Dynasty, everyone can kill pirates. For us in Japan, the same is true. The harm of pirates is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty."
When Kobe Nobutaka came, he communicated with his father. After a long time, the main direction of the peace talks was finally determined.
"Has Oda Nobunaga given up? It's so boring." Xu Wei said with waning interest. It seemed very boring to send people to talk instead of sending people to attack. Obviously Oda Nobunaga didn't want to happen. Military conflict is not good news for Xu Wei.
The timid Oda Nobunaga.
Kobe Nobutaka knelt on the ground, looking a little embarrassed. It was not that the Ming Dynasty behind the Nagasaki Governor's Palace was too powerful. Xu Wei could not look down on his father so much. He said solemnly: "Return to the angel, my father He has great respect for the Celestial Kingdom. Even when he had the opportunity to kill Ashikaga Yoshiaki, because he was the king of Japan canonized by the Ming Dynasty, my father did not take action due to various considerations. This is respect for the Celestial Kingdom. "
“So there is no question of whether to admit defeat or not. My father has never lost his reverent heart.”
“The elimination of pirates is important to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also important to the people of the world. Pirates rob Those who plundered the southeastern part of the Ming Dynasty also plundered our kind Japanese people. Please let the angels tell you! "
Sun Keyi said with a smile: "Those are Japanese pirates."
Confusing concepts, Japanese pirates are Japanese pirates.
Although the composition of the Japanese pirates is very complicated, the boss behind the scenes is the Southeast Maritime Merchant, composed of Japanese, Ming Dynasty desperadoes, red-haired bandits, and black bandits. While robbing the Ming Dynasty, they also plundered the Japanese country, Korea, and Ryukyu. The Ming Dynasty finally eliminated the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese country had none at all. To this day, pirates are still a sharp blade entrenched in the heads of the Japanese.
However, Japanese pirates are Japanese pirates, pirates dominated by Japanese people.
"Even the Japanese in the Japanese pirates are all wandering samurai? Why are they wandering? The widespread high taxes have put Japan in a war era, and civilians and low-level samurai have to go to sea to find a way to survive. My father, It is necessary to completely solve these problems before we can become the people of the world. If the annual energy supply is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, which is only one in thirty, I believe that no one will be willing to be displaced." Nobutaka Kobe knelt on the ground and elaborated on his thoughts. .
The goal of Ming Dynasty and Oda Nobunaga is the same, which is to completely eliminate the Japanese invasion. I hope that the sea will be peaceful, which is the common goal.
This is the deception and rhetoric of Nobutaka Kobe.
Oda Nobunaga intended to unite the various orders to control the country and become a common people, so that the Japanese can live and work in peace and contentment. In this way, the Japanese troubles will naturally disappear.
"What you say is better than what you sing." Xu Wei looked at Sun Keyi and said with a smile: "Uncle Da Zong said that Fanyi had a wolf face and a beast heart, and said that the Japanese country was one-third of the human beings who have not learned it, and seven-fold of the animal nature is deep-rooted , is it true? Will Oda Nobunaga really let the common people live and work in peace and contentment after ending the war in Japan? "
"Sun Tiju, do you think it is true? "
Sun Keyi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "You can't even fool a child. Even if Oda Nobunaga really unified the Japanese country and ended the war, he would only send the Japanese warriors to Korea to attack the city instead of thinking about this. As you said, live and work in peace and contentment, because these samurai cannot be resettled. "
The Ming Dynasty cannot place guest soldiers, can Oda Nobunaga place those samurai who have fought for several lifetimes? To unify Japan or since Oda Nobunaga came to Luo, there was only one thing he could do, and that was to expand, expand, expand, and it was impossible to stop.
The Ming Dynasty did not want to cause more killings, but the Japanese country, which had a large population and a small land and insufficient food production, had coveted the Central Plains with more arable land and higher depth for a long time.
There was no China after Yashan, but since the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Japanese led by Onoya have been vigorously promoting public opinion, as if they want to inherit the orthodoxy of China. Their ambitions are obvious, more obvious than Sima Zhao's desire to be emperor. Much.
"Actually, there is a way to solve it." Kobe Nobutaka kowtowed again, took a few deep breaths, and then said: "The Japanese are proficient in naval warfare, and the Ming Dynasty's development also requires warriors. If the Ming Dynasty follows the old practice, canonize me My father is the new king of Japan, and the Ming Dynasty is pioneering. Japanese samurai can be the help of the Ming Dynasty.” Three shadows followed, the Ming Dynasty came to power, the country was rich, and the people were unwilling to take risks at sea, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty also needed warriors who were good at naval warfare. "
Going to sea these days is a hard job. Only when you have no choice but to live, you will think of going to sea to make a living. On the way to the development of the Ming Dynasty, there are always dirty jobs that need to be done. After Oda Nobunaga unified Japan, the Japanese samurai also had a place to go. They followed the Ming Dynasty and became powerful. The navy, burning, killing and looting, the Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette, there were always some things that were inconvenient to do, such as killing people, and the Japanese country just acted as a sharp knife for killing people.
Xu Wei touched his beard and said very rudely: "You mean, Oda Nobunaga is willing to be a dog, right? And he will be loyal."
"Willing to be a dog?" "Fans, follow the Ming Dynasty." Kobe Nobutaka changed his name to a more elegant one. He who is a dog is not a dog. Once he is canonized, he will be a vassal king with five chapters of the Ming Dynasty, with a crown and a golden seal.
“But the Ming Dynasty doesn’t want to keep this Japanese dog.” Xu Wei leaned forward and suddenly burst out into laughter. He leaned forward with his upper body, his face half-raised and pressed downwards. His posture was so weird. How weird, he asked teasingly: "There are so many people who want to be dogs for the Ming Dynasty. Why does the Ming Dynasty accept Japanese people as dogs?" If you want to be clean, I will be a slave to you. Who do you think you are?” argued.
Xu Wei stretched out his hand, waved it repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, you are wrong. We can kill all the Japanese without my Ming Dynasty doing anything. I am a scholar, a scholar who has never touched the spring water. Why? It’s so shameless to see blood! As long as you kill them all, wouldn’t it be fine?”
"Do you think so? Kobe Nobutaka."
Xu Wei is a scholar. How slow it is to kill people with a knife, that is, fifty thousand pigs. The tooth soldiers and guest soldiers in the Nagasaki Governor's Palace are butchers. The swords are all dull. How long will it take to kill nine million Japanese?
Scholars always kill people without showing blood.
This Ming Dynasty treasure is the knife that kills people without blood.
It is worth noting that the person who gave Xu Wei this knife was the Ming Emperor, who sent ten million guan at one time, and it was Zhang Juzheng who suggested that the emperor put the treasure banknotes on a trial basis in the Japanese country. These two giant Buddhas Sitting in the middle of the court, Xu Wei's actions have received full support from the middle of the court. There is no need to worry at all, the court will no longer support his actions.
When there is not enough money, goods cannot circulate normally, which is a money shortage; when there is slightly more money than goods, the circulation of goods is normal and everything will be prosperous; when the quantity of money is too sufficient , the price of goods will soar into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
Xu Wei was really curious about what it would be like to inject such an excessive amount of currency into the Japanese country, especially when the Japanese country was in a semi-natural and semi-small peasant economy. Just thinking about it for a moment made Xu Wei uncontrollably excited. .
The daimyo of the Japanese country will become accomplices of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace. With their extremely vicious appearance, after wiping out the farmers, they will wipe out the ashigaru, then the samurai, and finally themselves.
The Ming Dynasty Duke Ming and the emperor can completely pick it off. It was the notorious executioners Xu Wei and Sun Keyi who deceived the capital for their own gain.
Everything was so perfect.
"I can actually give Oda Nobunaga a suggestion and let him deal with the treasure banknotes." Xu Wei said with a smile on his face: "The Nagasaki Governor's Palace issues treasure banknotes here. He can also print treasure banknotes. He casts gold, silver and copper coins. , will definitely be exchanged for treasure banknotes, so why take a detour? Oda Nobunaga only needs to print treasure banknotes, can he compete with the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes?"
"Anyway, the incoming money and local private money? The battle for money has been fought since the Northern Wei Dynasty. Oda Nobunaga only needs to seize the time to print money to stop the rampage of Ming Dynasty treasure money."
Hearing this, Nobutaka Kobe was stunned. , Xu Wei’s idea really makes sense.
The Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes are money from overseas. As long as Oda Nobunaga releases the treasure banknotes, wouldn’t he be able to deal with it calmly? In this way, Oda Nobunaga had nothing to lose, and the contradiction of Japanese currency remained the same as in the past.
Looking at it this way, it’s not a big deal. With such a simple method, why didn’t Oda Nobunaga think of it and did Xu Wei come to remind it?
"Demon King! He is simply the Demon King!" After Nobutaka Kobe figured out the key, he stood up suddenly, took a few steps back, and said in disbelief: "They all say that my father is the Demon King. , Angel is the devil! He was almost fooled!"
Who will bear the price in the end? Naturally, they are the common people of the Japanese country. The excessive currency is constantly being withdrawn. The treasure notes in the hands of the common people can buy one stone of rice today, but they will not be able to buy even one liter tomorrow.
The second trap of Xu Wei's words appeared. Common people realized that treasure banknotes are as worthless as wipes. Isn't that the banknote law has been corrupted?
But the Japanese country is not the Ming Dynasty. When the people of the Ming Dynasty generally did not recognize the treasure banknotes, the treasure banknotes were just a pile of waste paper. But the great names of the Japanese country would only wave their precious money and take away the last morsels of rice from the homes of the common people of the Japanese country. They pretended to be buying, but in reality they were robbing.
Therefore, once Oda Nobunaga printed a large amount of treasure banknotes, the consequences would be to help the tyrants commit evil and accelerate the proliferation of treasure banknotes.
Hell is empty and the devil is in the world.
Kobe Nobutaka was extremely horrified, Xu Wei was a lunatic, and so was Sun Keyi. For both of them, there was no other possibility than complete annihilation by any means and exhaustive exploitation.
"How can it end?" Nobutaka Kobe took a few deep breaths and asked in horror.
“I don’t know.” Xu Wei thought carefully and gave an answer. "Don't know?"
Xu Wei said seriously: "Yes, starting from the Japanese envoys competing for tribute in the second year of Jiajing, the Japanese plague has plagued the southeast of the Ming Dynasty for decades. How many people died at the hands of the Japanese pirates? How many people left their homeland and died on the way to migration? I don’t know how many people’s blood feud is going to end? It’s over.”
“So, I suggest Oda Nobunaga unify the Japanese country as soon as possible, and then gather all the troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Even if he loses, an unprecedented war can be ended. Let’s settle the grudge.”
Can Oda Nobunaga do it? It was possible in the past, but it's difficult now.
Because with the seigniorage, each daimyo can be greatly enriched. This is a method of fishing for the best. The difficulty of Oda Nobunaga's attack will increase significantly. It might have taken five to ten years. The unification war can only be completed, but now it has become elusive.
So, Nobutaka Kobe asked how and when it would end. Xu Wei really didn’t know.
The Ming Dynasty was really very polite to Anda Khan and the left and right wings of the Beilu. He only beheaded more than a hundred households of Anda Khan, but the main focus was on educating the border people. Even taking into account the influence of Sanniang Zi, the Ming Dynasty appointed She was the first chief envoy of Suiyuan. This was indeed a reconciliation, but her methods towards the Japanese state were full of ruthlessness and cruelty.
Kobe Nobutaka left Nagasaki. When he left, he saw other envoys, the Nagasogabe clan, the Mori clan, the Hojo clan, the Kamigami clan, and even Shibata Katsuie, Maeda Toshiie, The Hosokawa clan and the Tokugawa clan are the Tokugawa clan of the old fox Tokugawa Ieyasu. These daimyo were all daimyo that Oda Nobunaga had conquered or worked for the Oda family. They also bypassed Oda Nobunaga and came here. Nagasaki.
The purpose of these daimyo's envoys coming to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace is self-evident.
Xu Wei did not immediately release the 10 million guan of treasure banknotes because the Japanese lords did not have enough silver to exchange, and if he released 10,000,000 guan of treasure banknotes at once, the treasure banknotes would directly collapse. , so he would only exchange it for 1.5 million coins each time, and then increase or decrease it as appropriate based on the information brought back by the merchants.
The firewood is available, the oil pan is also set up, and it is simmered over low heat until it is cooked well.
After Nobutaka Kobe returned to Kyoto, he was severely reprimanded by Oda Nobunaga, who was wearing a king's cloak, because Oda Nobunaga sent Nobutaka Kobe to Nagasaki with the biggest purpose: to communicate with the Ming Dynasty and to The Ming Dynasty paid tribute and replaced Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the new king of Japan, but none of these conditions were agreed upon.
The Nagasaki Governor's Office reported Oda Nobunaga's request to the Ming court.
Xu Wei received the reply from the court at the end of April. Your Majesty still approved the eight words, and I don’t care if you do whatever you want.
Every time you don’t care, for the Japanese country, it is sliding deeper into hell.
Wang Qian, the second richest young man in the Ming Dynasty and the first dandy in the capital, swaggered back to his home like a victorious goose. The ticket price of Suiyuan Chidao began to rise with the start of construction, although the amplitude was not large. But this confirmed Wang Qian's conjecture that the ticket price of Suiyuan Chidao would rise to a point that would shock everyone.
It fully meets Wang Qian’s expectations for Suiyuan Chidao Ticket.
"There is a flurry of confusion, a flurry of confusion, the price increase scares me, and the money makes me soft, flurry of flurry." Wang Qian vaguely hummed a tuneless ditty, feeling extremely happy. Okay, seeing his father return home, he hurriedly greeted him and said politely: "I've met my father."
"Put it away quickly!" Wang Chonggu said angrily: "If you want money, go and do it yourself. Accounting expenses. "
"Dad, I, Wang Qian, don't need any money now! Suiyuan Chidao has increased again!" Wang Qian said proudly: "I made a small profit today. Dad is having dinner, and there is a big banquet at the Qianmen Restaurant."
Wang Chonggu said with certainty: "You are still very accurate in this regard, yes, I still remember His Majesty's words, don't speculate on food, clothing, housing and transportation. , otherwise no one can save you when you die."
"How much does it cost to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation?" Wang Qian said nonchalantly.
Poor coolies only have a few dollars for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If they go to such trouble, they have to bear political risks.
Wang Qian is really not short of money. Wang Chonggu breathed his last. The old Wang family belongs to him. He just wants to experience the process of making money and the self-realization of spiritual pursuits.
"Dad, you said that the government factories and engineering regiments built by dad are in full swing. Can our family have a chance to have a chance with Zhang Juzheng?" Wang Qian asked in a low voice.
Wang Chonggu curled his lips and said: "You want to touch the heads of the whole family? Stupid!"
Wang Qian immediately said in a low voice: "Dad, why are you so afraid of Zhang Juzheng? He is an assistant minister, and you are also an assistant minister. He has passed the imperial examination, cleared his father-in-law and returned the land, and dad also has an official factory, an engineering regiment, and an engineering regiment. Are you afraid that he will do something wrong?" Very!"
"You are right, our family is indeed very strong now. To put it harshly, Yan Song from the Jiajing Dynasty was nothing more than that. Then Yan Shifan is not doing anything serious, so you are much stronger than Yan Shifan. "Wang Chonggu said with certainty: "It's a pity that I still can't beat Zhang Juzheng."
Yan Shifan asked for a bribe from Prince Yu, which was the biggest stupid thing Yan Shifan did. Wang Qian would not do this, and Wang Qian did not dare to ask for a bribe from Zhu Changzhi. .
"Why, I feel that we are still very strong." Wang Qian said with great conviction.
Wang Chonggu thought for a while and said: "Let us put aside Zhang Juzheng's party all over the Ming Dynasty, put aside the outstanding people selected by the examination method, we must remember Zhang Juzheng's feelings, put aside the rich country that cleared the father-in-law and returned the land, Put aside the sworn relationship between him and Qi Jiguang, put aside the military power and fifth-class merit awards given to military officers, the support given to him by military attachés, put aside His Majesty’s words that the wrongdoers will be killed, put aside the tricks he and Your Majesty concocted. The huge influence of the theory of contradiction, the theory of public and private, the theory of production diagram and the theory of class. "
"Just talk about Zhang Juzheng's examination method."
Wang Qian was stunned and said: "Dad, you. Isn't this just like being a cheap scholar, ignoring the facts? This is all part of Zhang Juzheng's strength. What can be said about the examination method? Aren't the execution, impact, and results all clear? It’s rotten, the good and the bad have all been analyzed long ago.”
“Look at the test method from my perspective.” Wang Chonggu leaned back in his chair and said, “It’s just one test. That's not something I can compete with. In my opinion, no one else has noticed the great thing about this exam."
"What is it?" Wang Qian asked curiously.
Wang Chonggu said slightly absent-mindedly: "This is a problem I only realized when I was implementing the examination method in the official factory these days. The Ming Dynasty has changed. It started to change from the first year of Wanli. We used to do things in the Ming Dynasty. , they are all busy in their own way. Those in the Ministry of Husbandry belong to the Ministry of Husbandry, and those in the Ministry of Personnel belong to the Ministry of Personnel. Nowadays, national policies are often implemented jointly by two or three ministries. "
"Everyone believes that the basic logic of the imperial examination system relies on the authority of the capital, the complete accountability of the bureaucracy, and the absolute suppression of the downwards to achieve its current efficiency. However, many things in the Ming Dynasty were messed up as soon as they were released. , you will die as soon as you take care of it. Logically speaking, the same should be true for the examination, but our officialdom in the Ming Dynasty has never been more active."
Wang Qian jumped up from his seat and said in great surprise: "Let it go. It's just chaos, and you'll die if you take care of it. It's true. I've seen it many times. It's strange that I didn't pay attention unless my father said it. Why?"
"Why?" Wang Chonggu rubbed his fingers. After a few clicks, he said with a solemn expression: "It leads to chaos as soon as it is released, and death as soon as it is controlled. This is the most intuitive manifestation of the rigidity of the imperial court."
"One thing is reported from the local level, and each ministry makes its After getting the proposal from the court, and then getting approval from His Majesty, we start to go down to the local level to resolve it. It still goes smoothly. What if someone is stuck and refuses to report it? Or the six ministries have different opinions and are stuck in implementation? Why do the six departments also have objections? It will take a long, long, long time to resolve this matter. This is rigidity."
"Have you noticed?"
Wang Qian asked blankly: "What did you find? Isn't it always like this?"
For the first time, Wang Qian suspected that his vision was not enough. He didn't find anything at all. Isn't it always like this?
Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "The local officials who discovered a certain problem and the local officials who solved it are both the same group of people, and they are also the group of people who bear responsibility. But in such a big circle, By the time the imperial court issued the order, the day lilies were already cold. This is the most intuitive manifestation of rigidity.”
“This has always been the case. Didn’t you find the problem? The discovery, handling, and responsibility are all local. Small officials and small officials go around in such a big circle without having to take responsibility or discover and solve problems. "
"Guess there are a few people in this circle who really want to solve this problem. Instead of focusing on this issue to fight for your own interests?”
"Stay!" Wang Qian finally understood what his own father was talking about and why the court was so rigid.
Take the case of the chief officer in Sichuan as an example. The government officials knew what the problem was and reported it to the government officials, county magistrates, county magistrates, magistrates, chief envoys, governors, six ministries, Wenhua Hall, Si Lijian, and His Majesty. , and then passed it down to the lower levels along the lines of Wenhua Hall and Liubu, and the final result was solved by the Yamen.
Can the Yamen solve it? It can't be solved, but the government officials are responsible for this matter, and everyone in the middle does not need to be responsible for it, but why don't we just focus on this kind of case, regardless of how the matter is resolved, and fight to the death first?
Bureaucracy, the rigidity of the layers of bureaucracy, is so rigid. Discovery, handling and responsibility are all placed at the end. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Just don’t report it, little official Member, I really can’t shoulder this responsibility.
“The Kao Cheng Law is no longer like this.” Wang Chonggu said sincerely: “The Kao Cheng Law clarified the rights and responsibilities and held everyone accountable. Last year, Jiangxi hid 6.15 million acres of land. Except for the governor Wang Lin, everyone else It was taken down. This is because Wang Lin found out and reported to the court. Otherwise, Wang Lin would not have been able to escape this disaster. Oh, there was a big earthquake. There was also the Sichuan governor case. Luo Yao, the governor of Sichuan, even left his post and was held accountable. . ”
“No matter who is responsible, the problem must be solved first. If the problem is not solved, everyone will die. It is not too late to fight after it is solved.”
“ It's amazing! Dad is also very knowledgeable, and I didn't notice it at all!" Wang Qian said sincerely. Zhang Juzheng, who designed this method, is not weak. At least he understands the key. It's not Wang Chonggu who said it, Wang Qian said it. When I was in the game, I didn't notice this difference at all.
Wang Qian passed the Jinshi examination and the examination method has been implemented. He thought that this was the case, but in fact it was a phenomenon unique to the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.
Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "And it's not just that."
"Everything we do now is done jointly by multiple yamen, instead of fighting alone. Some things are impossible to accomplish in a lifetime, such as suppressing bandits. The archers of the Inspection Department, the Yamen, or the Dusi Guards are not enough to fight alone. The Inspection Department needs to provide intelligence, and the Yamen are responsible for preparations and aftermath, and the Dusi Guards The army marched to suppress the enemy, which was the cooperation of multiple yamen. ”
“This is the beauty of setting limits and finishing within a time limit.”
“To put it bluntly, this examination method is to set a time limit and solve it within a time limit, forcing the bulls in the yamen to put aside their internal strife and work together to work together. ”
Wang Chonggu has been using the test method recently, and I have to say, it is really easy to use!
There is nothing new about this thing. It is a weakened version of Guaman sitting together in "Da Gao". They are all responsible for it. But it is such a weakened version that the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is no longer a stagnant pool. It is mainly about intrigues and interpersonal relationships.
The two major problems of the imperial court are that they are rigid and bloated.
