I'm really not doing business

Chapter 249 Finding a Good Land Outside the Great Wall and Building a Camp Fortress

Silver, gold, or money interests are the root of all evil. There are clear conclusions in both the East and the West. Therefore, accumulating profit is a great harm to the country. Even King Chonggu, the minister of accumulating money, firmly believes that he is a man of accumulating salute. The courtier, but because of the need of the court, he had to do so.

Money is the root of all evil. It is an inevitable result of the process of monetization. Money seems to have gradually become the standard by which everything is measured.

Family affection, friendship, love, loyalty, honor, faith, all can be changed by money, thus giving birth to a fallacy, that is, the reason why people are loyal is only that there are not enough bargaining chips for betrayal.

Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu coerced and lured Li Le, the principal in the Xuanda Great Wall Dingjian case. Li Le had obviously accepted the bargaining chip, but Li Le finally went to the Quanchu Guild Hall, because compared to Zhang Siwei, Zhang Juzheng seemed even more terrifying.

It was not enough for Li Le to betray Zhang Juzheng. Li Le knew very well that if Zhang Siwei would kill the donkey, Li Le would definitely die, and it would be a shameful death.

In basic cognition, some things should not be measured by money, but in the process of monetization, money seems to really measure everything.

For example, there is no filial son before the long-term bed, but after monetization, only a small amount of silver can be exchanged for the labor time of others. For Shi Yaohaoyou, is there really no filial son before the long-term bed?No matter how long the illness lasts, the bedside of the old man is always a filial son.

This is the fundamental reason why Taixi's church and Ming's Confucianism regard money as the original sin and all evils.

Because in the face of money, everything can be marked with a price, so the values ​​and worldview shaped by the church and Confucianism become fragile and even blurred in the face of money. The basis of existence disappears, and they naturally cease to exist.

The basic ethical and moral system that most people follow, public order and good customs, and the values ​​that most people agree with, have been lost in the process of monetization. Priceless things such as love, responsibility, honor, etc. are the basis of morality, and the monetization of countless things in the world , leading to moral ambiguity.

Just like the question Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng, if a kid from a rich family punches someone, he only needs to pay ten yuan, then if he hurts someone, he will pay fifty yuan, and if he kills someone, he doesn’t even have to squat in the prison room. If he wipes his butt, in the eyes of the rich kids, a person is nothing more than an object, not even as luxurious as pearls and jade.

This is the materialization and alienation of human beings.

Empress Dowager Li didn't understand government affairs, but she knew very well that the road Zhang Juzheng and the emperor had to take was very, very difficult. If they succeeded, Ming would benefit, but if they failed, the emperor would die.

Queen Mother Li can't do much, the road is already bumpy enough, she can only do her best to remove some obstacles.

Just like today, she gave Wang Yaozhuo countless wealth, and tomorrow, she can kill Wang Yaozhuo.

Zhu Yijun can understand this truth, and Wang Yaozhuo can also understand it. The suffering of young people made Wang Yaozhuo deeply understand a truth, that is, there is no concern for no reason. The Queen Mother's concern is based on the fact that Wang Yaozhuo will not betray. Wang Yaozhuo will not abandon, not even in death.

"Mother, has my brother been disobedient again recently?" Zhu Yijun looked at Queen Mother Li and asked about Zhu Yili's education. As the substantial prince at the moment, Zhu Yili was really in trouble. Zhu Yijun had already dealt with it last time. Once, but recently Zhu Yichun started his rebellion again.

It's just that the rebellion was much milder this time, and Zhu Yiliu didn't have to do his homework to fight.

There is a god in the head, but how can a born noble person have a respectful heart, and he has no reverence for heaven, earth, and moral matters at all.

Especially at Zhu Yiliu's age, everyone doted on him and spoiled him, so he naturally got worse.

Zhu Yijun doesn't expect to be able to correct him once he educates and restrains Zhu Yiliu.

"Hmm." Empress Dowager Li said with a slight headache. She loves her son very much. The eldest son is the emperor's heart, and the second son has poured too much love into him. A prophecy is vividly displayed.

If Zhu Yiliu didn't study, Empress Dowager Li thought it was a problem with the bachelor of teaching. When Zhu Yiliu was harsh on the servants, Empress Dowager Li thought it was the servants who did something wrong.

This kind of pampering by Queen Mother Li exacerbated Zhu Yiliu's nonsense. Queen Mother Li actually knew it was wrong, but the child had no father. The lack of the role of a strict father led to Zhu Yiliu's savage growth. Zhu Yijun, like his father, went to restrain him.

"It's because he didn't finish his homework and contradicted the lecturer." Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Xiu'er has restrained himself a lot. I'm very pleased. At least he no longer criticizes the servants. If he causes trouble outside the palace again, Isn't it a joke?"

"Mother, I have an idea. Why don't you send Zhu Yiliu to the uncle's mansion in Yicheng, Xishan. If you are idle, you will be idle."

Zhang Juzheng was hiding in Yicheng Bo's Mansion in Xishan, so Zhu Yijun would find some troublesome things for Zhang Juzheng to do. If he was idle, he would be idle, so why not educate the real prince of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun was not afraid that Zhu Yili would become a talented person. He had longed for the throne, but when he couldn't do it anymore, he sent Zhu Yili to the Japanese country.

"No." When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately expressed her objection. Zhang Juzheng resigned from all his official positions, but he was still the grand tutor. As the emperor's teacher, he educated King Lu. It's because King Lu didn't have this kind of thought, and some ministers would also have some weird thoughts.

Zhu Yijun said with certainty: "Mother, if something happens to me, what should I do if Jiangshan Sheji entrusts me with nothing? Let's send it."

"These ministers!" Empress Dowager Li slammed the table and stood up. There are too many bad things in the palace. The assassination of the king and the fire in the palace, can it be said that the emperor's worries are unfounded? ?On the contrary, it is a very likely situation.

Therefore, before the prince was born and became a man, Zhu Yiliu had to become a talent.

"Then send it." Zhu Yijun stood up, leaned slightly and said, "Mother, mother, I will take my leave."

When Zhu Yijun left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Wang Yaozhuo followed behind the emperor step by step, the emperor stopped suddenly, Wang Yaozhuo bumped into Zhu Yijun's back without paying attention.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yaozhuo's panicked look and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take the silver? I can't handle so much money." Wang Yaozhuo tentatively said, she thought that the money belonged to the emperor and should be disposed of by the emperor.

"I'll take it for you, the rightful lord of the Sixth Palace, without any money, how to buy people's hearts and win over servants. From today on, the Queen should think about how to balance the relationship between the concubines and concubines in the harem." Zhu Yijun shook his head, so little He didn't care about money. A pagoda cost 50 taels of silver, and her little gold and silver was enough to build a foundation.

There are many places to spend money.

Wang Yaozhuo said in a low voice: "The meaning of the concubine is that it is better to give it to your majesty to make money every year than to use it for your majesty's financial management. It is better to give it to your majesty to count profits every year than to use water without a source."

"Okay." Zhu Yijun thought for a while, nodded and said, this little witty guy knows very well that Zhu Yijun is a good way to make money, and he will use this money, money to make money, and the use of Kunning Palace will flow steadily.

This Wang Yaozhuo was also young and very shrewd. He knew that the person who was best at managing finances in the Ming Dynasty was not the Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Guoguang, but the Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun. Just in the wool business, the emperor had toyed with so many tricks. The returns far exceeded all expectations.

"Don't you still want to go to the emperor's uncle to learn music theory? Go ahead, I'm going to Jingying." Zhu Yijun stopped and came to a fork in the road. He was going to Jingying, while Wang Yaozhuo was going to Gewuyuan to take music lessons.

"Yes." Wang Yaozhuo left obediently, and Zhu Yijun ordered Feng Baorang, the money eunuch, to write a ledger for the future empress.

Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and said: "The ministers cannot accept a queen without relatives. The superficial opposition is not terrible, but the cunning methods behind it are terrible. Feng Daban must protect the life of the girl."

"The minister obeys the order." Feng Bao bowed his head again to take the order.

In fact, Wang Yaozhuo is very smart, and even helped Feng Bao find a lot of ghosts. The emperor got married, and the queen's position is a point that all parties want to fight for. For example, Wang Yaozhuo once received a strange A small Huangmen said that the Empress Dowager asked her to go to Ciqing Palace. From Baoqisi to Ciqing Palace, she must either pass through the construction site on the central axis or go to the outer city. Wang Yaozhuo noticed this little girl after walking two steps. The man with a yellow face obediently took two steps and ran away.

That time, Feng Bao sank all four eunuchs into a well. It is not known who was behind these eunuchs, because they themselves did not know, but they had to die.

This kind of bribery is very common. For example, King Qian Wang likes to bribe other people's servants to achieve his own goals.

The turmoil of Zhang Juzheng's Ding You's official appointment calmed down for a short time, and the government is gradually returning to normal. The militaristic emperor wants to use force against Quanningwei. Opposition to the militarism is brewing. Countless pens in the mansion newspaper are proposing against the use of force. question.

This wave of doubts is getting stronger and stronger. At this moment, Daning Reading Vision sent a joint memorial to Zhou Liangyin and Liaodong Xunzhao Hou Yuzhao to the court, and it exploded in the court. Draws all eyes away.

The two played together, looking for a place outside the Great Wall to build a city palace.

The last time military was used, the death of Tang Kekuan, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, shocked the government and the public. This was the first commander-in-chief who died in battle since Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. It's great to win, but if you lose, who will bear the responsibility?
In case the northern captives invaded Gyeonggi again, how would the emperor explain it?

What Hou Yuzhao meant was to find a suitable place outside Beigukou to build the emperor's palace and city to prevent Beigukou from being breached again.

Beigukou is a pass. Once there are police officers in Beigukou, they can support Beigukou from the high wall outside the fortress, sandwich the two sides, and repel the invading enemy.

Hou Yuzhao's idea is based on the successful experience of Daningwei, but Daningwei is too far away from Beigukou, so choosing another place to build a city has become a good choice.

The address has not been chosen yet, but once the Ming Dynasty machine starts to spin, it will not be difficult to build a large city outside the Great Wall.

The interesting thing about Hou Yuzhao's idea is that he changed from passively relying on the Yanshan defense line to actively burying nails in the grassland. There is such a city outside the fortress, and the enemy cannot bypass it. He must break through this city before he can continue to move south. , otherwise the enemy will be attacked.

The time this city can block the enemy can give Daming more reaction time to organize defense.

There are many opponents of the construction of the city outside the Great Wall, and there are also many people who agree with it. For this matter, the courtiers began to chatter and quarrel.

What the opponents say is very reasonable. The land outside the Great Wall is barren and not suitable for farming. To build such a city, it is necessary to have a strong army to guard it. It is difficult to maintain after it is built.

What will be used to support this city?Does it just rely on transportation from the hinterland?Transporting grain was extremely costly, and building such a city was just another opening in the Ming Dynasty's already riddled body.

It is not a small amount for people to eat horse chews.

Those who agree with it naturally agree with its strategic significance. After all, Beigukou was breached once by Altan Khan, and was almost breached by Dong Fox.

"Qi Shuai, are the Beigukou passes so important? Why didn't the enemy army ever think of bypassing these passes?" Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang in front of him. Zhang Juzheng, the master who taught the feast, went to Xishan for vacation, and Qi Jiguang began to teach military affairs for the emperor.

In this regard, Zhu Yijun did not show a proud talent, but he was a very patient student.

Qi Jiguang said with certainty: "There is actually this way of bypassing the pass."

"For example, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang went south from Beigukou and Shanhaiguan to capture Youzhou, which is today's Gyeonggi, and then moved thousands of miles away. In a month, he arrived at the city of Kaifeng and left to ask for rewards. Going west, joining forces with Wanyan Zonghan to attack Taiyuan together, defeating Taiyuan means that the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to go to Kaifeng to help King Qin, and since the city of Taiyuan will be destroyed, the Northern Song Dynasty will be over."

"For example, in the Battle of Jingnan, in the winter of the 34th year of Hongwu, Emperor Cheng Zuwen sent his troops southward, but did not break through the strong city all the way. In the winter of the 34th year, he arrived at Zhigu Town, which is now Tianjin Wei, and then marched to Cangzhou, bypassing the city all the way. Dezhou and Linqing attacked Dongchang Prefecture, and in February of the following year, they attacked Xuzhou. After conquering Xuzhou and crossing the river, after the Battle of Lingbi, Emperor Cheng Zuwen's great cause was accomplished."

"This method of bypassing the pass city has many harsh conditions. As long as one of them is not met, the battle will be defeated."

Zhu Yunqi has not been recognized in the long history of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunqi is called Jianwenjun, and the unified name of Zhu Yunqi's descendants is Jianshuren. Zhu Yunqi is not recognized. Years, was replaced by Hongwu 32 years to Hongwu 35 years.

Zhu Yijun saw Qi Jiguang hesitate to speak, and asked: "Since we are talking about the feast, there is no need to worry."

Qi Jiguang hesitated to speak, then stopped, and finally began to speak: "After the change of Tumubao, the eunuch Xining, a close confidant of the Emperor Yingzong, was first sent to falsely pass on the imperial decree to open the Zijing Pass, one of the three inner passes, and break the pass. After that, I couldn't wait to enter the capital of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yijun's expression changed slightly. No wonder Qi Jiguang wanted to say but couldn't.

The Battle of Tumubao, fought by the Ming Dynasty Emperor Baozong, was so ugly that Qi Jiguang didn't know how to speak. But when it came to military affairs, Qi Jiguang had to talk about this case. It was so close and had great educational significance.

"The eunuch is happy to break the Bauhinia Pass. Can the eunuch change his master?" Zhu Yijun said what Qi Jiguang wanted to say but did not say.

Was Xining sent out first by Grand Master Wala, or by the Bao sect?Obviously, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty also knew very well that eunuchs could not change their masters. Baozong himself went to Xuanfu, Datong, and the capital to knock on doors, which was clearly recorded by Baozong's biological son Ming Xianzong. in vain.

No one dared to accept this.

Baozong is simply the existence of the floor tiles of the Ming emperor.

Qi Jiguang continued: "After entering the customs first, divide the troops into two groups, one way to attack Juyongguan, and the other to attack the capital. Obviously, it is also very clear that bypassing Juyongguan will make him very passive, but the commanding colleague Zhao Wenhe Luo Tong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, guarded Juyongguan, and the capital was heavily guarded. Yu Shaobao, Shi Heng, Fan Guang and others personally led the army out of the city to resist the enemy. They also fought fiercely at the headquarters for five days. They could not conquer it and had to retreat."

"If you don't retreat, I'm afraid you will be eaten by the Ming army."

"I also retreated first, and was ambushed by Shi Heng at Qingfengdian. I almost died, so I had to escape in embarrassment."

"First of all, we have just won a big victory over Daming's Beijing camp. Their morale is like a rainbow, and they hold the bargaining chip of Emperor Yingzong, while Daming's Beijing camp has lost all its elite. At that time, there were only 2 to [-] old, weak, sick and disabled. First, we should bypass Juyongguan. He is impatient, if he breaks through Xuanfu, Juyongguan and then enters Gyeonggi, the outcome of the war is still unknown."

"Fighting around the pass can be regarded as a military adventure, and any military adventure is to put the Ming Kingdom on the gambling table."

"Nine out of ten bets."

"When Genghis Khan attacked the Kingdom of Jin, he entered through the Bauhinia Pass, besieged the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, and also broke through the Juyong Pass, just because the Xuanfu at that time had not yet been breached. Heeding Jebe's advice, he gave up all occupation of cities and withdrew to the grassland."

"Three years later, Zhebie conquered Xuanfu and Juyongguan. From then on, the Jin Kingdom was completely under the iron heel of Genghis Khan."

Qi Jiguang judged that he was impatient at first, because Genghis Khan had done it once. Fighting around the pass was a very risky behavior. Genghis Khan did not dare to take risks, so he chose to take risks first. The great victory of Tumubao , also covered Ye Xian’s eyes.

Zhu Yijun looked at the Kanyu map and understood Qi Jiguang's explanation.

If you are strong enough, you can naturally run for thousands of miles. If you are not strong enough, you should knock down a pass honestly, keep your feet on the ground, and make every step of the way.

"What are the prerequisites for bypassing the pass?" Zhu Yijun returned the question to the prerequisites for bypassing the pass that Qi Jiguang mentioned at the beginning.

"There are many conditions, but in the final analysis, there is only one. The enemy has completely lost the will to resist, and he can drive straight in. But if the enemy still has the will to resist, it cannot be done." Qi Jiguang did not separate one, two, and three points, but chose summed up directly.

The will to resist, as long as there is the will to resist, the practice of bypassing passes and cities is an extremely stupid military adventure.

Qi Jiguang was really grateful to the emperor. During the Wanli years, no one ever supervised or urged the battles. Zhu Yijun also wrote as a disciple to report on his martial arts progress. He occasionally nagged the court, but never urged Qi Jiguang or gave any orders.

For generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, this is great luck!
Military talent is something that God will give you. If you have it, you will have it. If you don't have it, you will not have it. The emperor is sitting in the palace hundreds of miles away and giving random orders can really kill the generals.

Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi likes to command formations, when and where to station, and what kind of formations to set up when encountering the enemy, even if the river changes course, it cannot be changed when stationed in the river. Bad luck.

"That's right." Zhu Yijun nodded and said.

"Qi Shuai thinks that what Hou Yuzhao said can be done?" Zhu Yijun asked about military affairs, whether to build a strong city outside the Great Wall.

"In the second year of Longqing, I made a memorial to find a good place outside the Great Wall to build a strong city. First, it can train cavalry; Ning Wei." Qi Jiguang expressed his attitude, he had put forward this proposal nearly ten years earlier than Hou Yuzhao.

Qi Jiguang shook his sleeves, and took out a book with yellowed and curled edges. This was his original copy, but it was rejected in the end.

This is not a memorandum, but Qi Jiguang's uneasy heart.

Tan Lun also has a copy, which is a double set, Yu Dayou also has a copy, which is the Daming Navy, Yin Zhengmao also has a copy, and Hai Rui also has a copy, which is the Public Security Bureau.

This is the embarrassment of the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

"Why hasn't it been built?" Zhu Yijun finished reading Qi Jiguang's memorial, and there was only a red X on the memorial. Although this X has faded, it is particularly dazzling.

"No money, no food, no one." Qi Jiguang answered His Majesty's question succinctly and concisely. It was a big loss, even if Qi Jiguang had 1 good ideas, isn't it just a dream come true?

Zhu Yijun said with great wealth: "Qi Shuai, our Daming is rich now!"

"build!"

Zhu Yijun took out the ink pen and approved the next chapter of the cabinet's preparations to build the city on Hou Yuzhao's memorial.

"Does Qi Shuai have a good location to choose?" After Zhu Yijun agreed, he found that Hou Yuzhao didn't have a specific location.

Qi Jiguang pointed the pole in his hand to a position, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this place extends in all directions, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Qi Jiguang was already prepared to attack him, the 15-year-old little emperor, and he had been thinking about it for so many years, waiting for this kind of wind in the court. The location of Qi Jiguang's spot is called Rehe on the Kanyu map, which is the location of Chengde in later generations. .

"Advance can be attacked, retreated and defended. You can overlook the pass, control the various ministries of the northern captives from outside, and be the place where the central key is." Qi Jiguang began to explain why he chose Rehe. There is absolutely no reason to exert influence on the various tribes of the northern captives, and to occupy the territory.

Land is the largest means of production in the Ming Dynasty. Even if it cannot be cultivated, it can also be used for grazing, as well as forest resources, coal, etc. If the Daningwei plan removes the profitable Taotu Mountain, in other places, even if it is just grazing sheep, you can be proud of it. In terms of profits and losses, even with arithmetic calculations, it cannot be said that Daning Wei cannot make ends meet.

Qi Jiguang thought for a moment and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are gold mines around Rehe. Ye Bushou once brought back kilograms of gold ingots from outside the Great Wall as proof."

Building a city outside the Great Wall requires a little temptation, and the gold mine is undoubtedly an excellent top-level story.

In fact, there are copper mines, iron mines, purple sand mines, magnetite, limestone, etc. near Rehe, but in comparison, using gold mines to tell stories seems more convincing.

"Ah, the writers of later generations want to angrily accuse me of building a city for gold, let them say what they want, and the next chapter will be supervised by the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Qi Jiguang still wants to explain military affairs. Qi Jiguang does not want to train His Majesty to be a fierce man who uses soldiers like a god, but to train him to be a king who can understand pond newspapers. Why these generals do this on the front line, His Majesty must understand , so as not to be deceived.

Qi Jiguang also talked about several cases. For example, when Wei destroyed Shu, Deng Ai bypassed Jianmen Pass and took the Yinping trail to destroy Shu.

The pass is that the roads within a range of hundreds of miles are not easy to walk, and the pass is formed naturally.

What the pass cuts off is the grain and road supplies.

Going around the pass means that you have to feed the enemy. Elite soldiers can go around the pass, but how to go around when the food team and baggage are heavy?If the enemy's will to resist is still tenacious and unable to feed the enemy, they will die in mutiny.

To be more concise, it is to go shopping in the opponent's wild area without pulling out the outer tower.

Therefore, building a city in Rehe is of great strategic significance, and this time from Daningwei to Quanningwei, even if the Tuman Khan cannot be driven away, if the city is properly built, it will also make the defense of Beigukou easier.

Zhu Yijun thought it would be relatively simple to build the city, but he never expected that it would be very difficult to do. The first person to supervise the implementation was to be selected and selected again. In the end, the principle of whoever suggested who should do things fell into the hands of Zhou Liangyin.

Lu Tiaoyang and Wang Chonggu wanted to facilitate this matter, Qian Daming had it, and Liang Daming also had it, but there was no one.

Yes, no one.

If you want to absorb refugees, you have to use the banner of dividing the land, but in that place, there is no field, and there is no post road.

The post road from Xifengkou to Daningwei and then to Guangning had already been repaired in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was renovated again in the Hongwu period. Until the Jingtai period, the post road in Daningwei was repaired. The Great Ningwei was lost, but there were still merchants walking along the road.

But from Beigukou to Rehe, there is no old post road. It is a poor place where birds have nothing to do, and a place where there is no arable land. How can we attract refugees?Latin strong men, conscripted labor.

But this is not in line with the current public opinion of Daming that the people are the foundation of the country and treat the people well. No one dares to violate political correctness and risk the world's disgrace by doing such bratty things.

Where people come from is a difficult matter.

Zhu Yijun discovered that for Daming, arable land seemed more attractive than gold.
