Prince of Chaos

Chapter 407 Only fear, no grace

Shen Shixing's thoughts were really overwhelmed, Zhu Changluo would definitely not replace the cabinet boss at this time.

After all, his time in supervising the country is still short, and his wings are not yet full.

For Zhu Changluo, a hasty substitution would do more harm than good.

Moreover, whether it is Shen Shixing or Wang Xijue in the current cabinet, there is more or less awe of him.

If, at this time, because of a few gossips, the Minister of the Zhu Kingdom is about to be replaced, then Zhu Changluo will really become a monkey mother - a baboon (abandoned).

Therefore, Zhu Changluo would not do the cabinet replacement, especially now.

What he needs now is stability and obedience.As long as the court is stable, the rest will be easy to handle.

In case, one or two people who are not very obedient are replaced. Seeing him, the crown prince supervising the country, the regent is not happy, and he takes all the officials to persuade him to play all day long. He looks like a righteous and moral gentleman, and then he will be passive It was Zhu Changluo.

Because, in terms of reasoning, a hundred Zhu Changluos can't talk about a scholar.

If Zhu Changluo didn't hold back his temper and used the sword at this time, he didn't have the tiger and wolf teacher in the hands of Emperor Chengzu, and he didn't have the mass foundation of Emperor Taizu who had been kind to the people for decades after the founding of the country.But now in the Ming Dynasty, the internal conflicts are extremely serious, and the common people at the bottom have only fear of the Ming Dynasty, but no kindness.

At that time, the voices of scholars from all over the world gathering together will soar into the sky!Zhu Changluo may be a replica of Louis XVI or Emperor Jianwen.

After all, most of the common people follow blindly, so they don't care that what Zhu Changluo did is for them, they only believe what they hear and see, and think that Zhu Changluo may be the tyrant butcher.

After calming down Shen Shixing's mood, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but put his thoughts on the Korean battlefield.

If there is no accident, this massive war of Japanese pirates' invasion of Korea should end hastily at some point next year.

However, this hasty end was definitely not caused by the Ming army being too strong and North Korea's fierce resistance.

The key to the anticlimax of this war of aggression was the sudden death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

As for how Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, history has given several hypotheses.Among them, there is a deadly nonsense hypothesis that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was poisoned to death by an envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this hypothesis is clear at every turn, and it must be untenable.

However, this hypothesis also opened up a new way of thinking for Zhu Changluo.

After all, in history, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, the Tokugawa family came to power. After Tokugawa came to power, he didn't have much to say about his old boss, Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo felt that Toyotomi Hideyoshi died with a bold assumption and careful verification.It may be inseparable from the Tokugawa family.

Therefore, the focus of the next use is to exaggerate that Toyotomi Hideyoshi may be poisoned.

As for this "rumor", whether Toyotomi Hideyoshi can listen to it or not is up to fate.

Anyway, his early death would affect Zhu Changluo's strategy a bit, but it would definitely not affect the final result.

And this is the mysterious confidence of the traverser!

Therefore, when knowing this historical result, Zhu Changluo still needs to make some plans in advance. Otherwise, when the Korean War is over and Ming’s army returns triumphantly, North Korea will still be North Korea, and Ming will still be Daming. Where is it?
Such a result is obviously not acceptable to Zhu Changluo.

He believes that since it is a war, since it is a victory, in addition to face, you must also have face.

Otherwise, spending so much effort and fighting a war where a good card was issued is not in line with Zhu Changluo's thinking of a time traveler.

As we all know, the traversers are aggressive, and they are definitely not good people. Even if they are beautified, it will not change the essence of the traversers who regard interests as the fundamental.

Since he was worried that Toyotomi Hideyoshi would not be useful, Zhu Changluo must think of other ways to continue the war.

Therefore, this is the time Zhu Changluo talked with Shen Shixing and Li Chengliang in the cabinet today.

In time, this idea is definitely not Zhu Changluo's temporary idea.

When the second Korean war started, Zhu Changluo was thinking about the time.

It's just because the state of war has not been stable all the time, coupled with the severe stagnation of Ming's intelligence agencies, there is no such elite agent who is proficient in words and good at hiding.

Therefore, the idea of ​​using time can only be thought of in Zhu Changluo's mind.

However, it is different now. The two Japanese pirates entered the DPRK to fight, giving Zhu Changluo two chances.

At the first time, Zhu Changluo ordered Wei Zhongxian to arrange people to lurk in various parts of North Korea, integrate into the lives of the local people, and learn the language and living habits of the Korean people.

In the second time, because the Japanese pirates wantonly plundered the Korean population to the main island of the Japanese country, a large number of spy seeds were indirectly brought into the Japanese country.

Now, after more than half a year of war, these Koreans who were plundered by the Japanese pirates have gradually begun to integrate into the Japanese pirate group.

Although they will still be monitored by Japanese pirates on the island, in terms of daily life, these plundered North Koreans are still free.

They were assigned to the daimyo under Toyotomi Hideyoshi to live as slaves.

However, their lives were not threatened too much.

There are two reasons why the pirates on the island are so "civilized".

First, the Wa Kingdom also belongs to the East Asian cultural circle. They were deeply influenced by the Confucianism of the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially the aristocratic class of the Wa Kingdom.Moreover, they also invented their own writing using Chinese characters in the Tang and Song dynasties, so they are subordinate to East Asian culture in terms of cultural roots.For North Koreans who are also in the East Asian cultural circle, they naturally tend to put on a superior posture and make North Koreans feel inferior in front of them.

Second, it is because of the lack of people.In ancient times, the labor force was extremely scarce, whether it was the nomadic people in Mobei or the farming civilization in the Central Plains, they were all extremely short of people.Even Daming, which now has a population close to [-] million, is still short of people.

Therefore, in order to make up for the problems caused by the lack of people, those nations and countries with a relatively small number of people often like to do what they like to do is to plunder the population to enrich themselves.

However, Japanese pirates are different from grassland nomads.

When grassland nomads attacked and merged with each other, they would kill some adult men and only take away women and children, just to expand the tribe's population.However, the Japanese pirates are different. The Japanese pirates want everyone, even though they have no lower limit when they do evil at sea, they are extremely vicious.

However, in his bones, the Japanese pirates who came from the sea and lacked resources have a strong learning spirit.

They will not kill the Koreans captured by them on the island. Instead, they learn the skills of the Korean people in a learning attitude, so as to enrich the skills of their own nation.Just like Li Canping, the founder of the famous ceramic brand Arita in Japan, it was established by the potters who were taken away by the Japanese pirates when they invaded the dynasty.

It can be seen what a terrible nation the Japanese pirates are.

They are cruel and inhumane.On the one hand, he lowered his posture and studied hard.

Like a wolf like a fox, cunning and cruel, but at the same time polite and polite, he is not ashamed to ask his subordinates, and he is not ambiguous at all when he should confess his love, and he is called Dad when he says he is called Dad.It is no wonder that such a nation can stir up the situation in modern history.

What a miracle of evolution.

Zhu Changluo finally kept Shen Shixing and Li Chengliang to say another thing.

This matter is a matter of Ji County.

The population of Ji County is not too large, but the geographical location is very important. It can be said that this is the northern gate of Beijing.

Therefore, the court's attention to Ji County is also quite high.

The newly appointed magistrate of Jixian County is a big figure higher than ordinary county in terms of rank.

The current magistrate of Jixian County is Zhang Cheng, the former censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This Zhang Cheng is now known to everyone in the capital.Of course, he is not the treacherous eunuch Zhang Cheng who encouraged Emperor Wanli to collect mining taxes. That Zhang Cheng is still guarding the spirit of the ancestors of Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty at the high wall of Fengyang.

This Zhang Cheng was the Zhang Cheng who went to Shushu with Wang Jin and Li Dexian to praise the merits of Emperor Wanli, and thus received a commendation from Emperor Wanli.

Now, the official careers of the three of them can be said to be progressing smoothly.

The original seventh-rank censors have now become court upstarts.Take Zhang Cheng as an example, he is now an official of the sixth rank.

If he had followed his original life trajectory, without the support of nobles, and without extraordinary talents, he might have spent his life in the rank of seventh-rank officials.

However, it is different now.Not only has he been supported by nobles, but he has also been reused.

He served as the county magistrate of Jixian County with the sixth rank. At that time, everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Jixian County very much. Become the magistrate of Ji County.

Unfortunately, in the end, Ji County was still acquired by Zhang Cheng.

At that time, those officials who were struggling to find a way out were envied.

Because, from their point of view, serving as the magistrate of Ji County now is equivalent to entering the fast lane of official career. If you do a good job, you will be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in minutes.

In fact, this is true. After Zhang Cheng served as the magistrate of Jixian County, he was not called the magistrate of Jixian County in the official documents written by the imperial court to Jixian County, but the county magistrate of Jixian County.

Don't think it's just a matter of name, the doorway is very big.

Zhixian, the chief official of any small town or county can be called magistrate.

However, the county magistrate is different.

County magistrate is an ancient name. Although, in the usual appellations, magistrates in many places are also called county magistrates, but this is actually incorrect.

The Ming Dynasty followed the Song system, and the county-level chiefs were called "prefects of the county", or magistrates for short.In the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to County Yin.However, Lao Zhu did not recognize this title, so Lao Zhu skipped a notch, following the Song system and flaunting the orthodoxy of the Han people.

As a result, it seems that one word was missing, so the official title of the grass-roots county officials in Daming was set as magistrate.

Therefore, magistrate is the official name of Daming county officials.

However, when it came to Zhang Cheng, it was different.

In the official documents of the imperial court, he is called the county magistrate, but there is something to say in it.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a custom: those with more than [-] households in the county were county magistrates; those with less than [-] households were county magistrates.Moreover, before the county system was established, the county magistrate Zhili was the monarch.

It can be seen that the title of county magistrate has a high gold content.

The county magistrate Zhang Cheng is not only high-ranking, but also has rights that other county magistrates have never had. For example, he can directly skip the Crown Prince Shu Shu.

Even if this is a lot of minister-level officials, they don't necessarily have such treatment.

It is conceivable how glorious Zhang Cheng is now, which is enviable.
