I'm really not doing business

Chapter 261 In war, casualties are inevitable

The story of the Ming Emperor's fierce battle for three hours, repelling and pursuing the assassins, quickly spread in the capital. The styles of these storybooks and storytelling are very consistent, praising His Majesty's wiseness and martial prowess. Emperor Zhenwu appeared and struck with a sword. When the Fahai Temple was split open, the Taifu was trapped and the emperor rode alone to help. What stood out were the emperor's bravery and the emperor's rescue of his ministers.

This was obviously the result of Wan Shihe's organization's public opinion after receiving the instructions.

In terms of public opinion, Wan Shihe has done a good job. He knows why His Majesty wants to shape this kind of public opinion, protect the New Deal and protect Zhang Juzheng. Wan Shihe presides over the public opinion mainly based on miscellaneous newspapers, supplemented by storytelling, storybooks, and novels. The machine started to fully operate.

As for novels, the serialization of "Journey to the West" has begun. This "Journey to the West" sequel is like a cycle, with a rebellious descendant of Huaguo Mountain who is not afraid of anything and everything, reshaping the history of the novel. The story of the human world is very cliché, but this book is the product of the public opinion machine of the Ming Dynasty.

Wan Shihe completely surpassed Ma Ziqiang in the field of publicity. Ma Ziqiang often lamented that he, the Minister of Rites, was really unqualified and always picked up food behind Wan Shihe. Ma Ziqiang thought Mobilize subjective initiative, but he is not as good as Wanshi and Flattery.

Wan Shihe is now a flattering minister.

"Oh no, it's not that dangerous. Except for the encounter on the mountain road that lasted for a quarter of an hour, there was a pursuit battle afterwards. I bit the enemy's tail and let the camp complete the encirclement. In fact, there was no fighting, but running was really tiring." After Zhu Yijun read a few storytelling books, he quickly closed them and blushed.

In a small-scale encounter, the iron armor equipped by Tiqi was completely overwhelming in terms of armaments, military discipline, and numbers. In this storybook, Zhu Yijun is like a devil descending from the sky, and he is really like a Tai Sui god on earth. , seven in and seven out of the Xishan Mountain, and occasionally he would make a Dharma, Heaven, Elephant and Earth, transform into the Zhenwu Emperor, and carve out the Xishan Grand Canyon.

It's too exaggerated. It cuts through mountains with one blow.

Take Zhu Yijun's iron armor as an example. It is iron in name but actually steel. During the battle, it cannot be broken apart by heavy weapons such as the powerful bow and the butt hammer. However, the powerful archer cannot break it. There are only 28 in ten thousand miles, and there are no more than thirty tiger-powered sharpshooters in the Beijing camp.

The most effective armor-breaking weapons of the Ming Dynasty were artillery and flat guns. The flat guns could break iron armor within thirty steps, but the incoming bandits did not even have a heavy hammer.

Zhu Yijun's battle was not as dangerous as described, mainly because he was a little tired from running.

"Sir, are you awake?" Zhu Yijun did not leave immediately, but remained at the Yicheng residence. He was waiting for Zhang Juzheng to wake up and have a chat before he left.

Zhu Yijun was really afraid that Zhang Juzheng would commit suicide to express his ambition. There was already a Zhu Wan in the Ming Dynasty, which would have such a bad political impact and even become the trigger of the Japanese invasion.

"Already awake, taking a shower." Zhang Hong bowed his head and said, You Qi had already come to report, and Zhang Juzheng had already woken up. After three hours of sleep, his energy level was restored.

Zhu Yijun put away the fishing rod, twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and said angrily: "Take my featherless arrow slingshot, these fish in the wild goose pond have no respect at all!"

Zhang Juzheng's retirement life is very comfortable. He doesn't have to run around if he wants to fish. There is a wild goose pond in front of his house, and there are big fish in the pond. Generally speaking, Zhu Yijun fished here for more than an hour, and it didn't matter what he did. It would have taken one or two fish to take the bait, but there were none, not even one. The fish were even swimming around on the shore, as if they were mocking Zhu Yijun for being a disgrace to the fisherman.

Zhu Yijun wanted to educate these fish, and the fish in Taiye Pond became very obedient. When the emperor's footsteps came, there was a calm in Taiye Pond.

Zhang Juzheng came to see him after taking a bath. He was speechless and choked for a while when he saw the fish that the emperor had caught. The fish that were flying back into the pond were all shot to death by the emperor's featherless arrows.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng chatted for a long time. After learning that Zhang Juzheng had really changed his mind, he handed Zhang Juzheng the narrative book and storybook and asked Zhang Juzheng to take a look at the trend of the matter.

Wan Shihe is now not only following the wind, but also the creator of the wind's public opinion. Propaganda with this kind of response speed is to preemptively occupy the high ground of public opinion. In the war of public opinion, the first release has the best effect on jointly shaping people's perceptions. Even if there is a reversal later, some people will not see it, but someone will definitely see it in the first move, and Wan Shihe's quick response can save a lot of trouble.

Qi Jiguang finally finished cleaning the battlefield and returned to the Yicheng Prefecture. He asked to see His Majesty and report the results.

"I will see you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty pays you your respects." Qi Jiguang and Zhao Mengyou saluted, and they looked at Zhang Juzheng with complicated expressions.

"Excuse me, Qi Shuai, Ti Shuai, is there any result from the investigation?" Looking at their faces, Zhu Yijun knew that something was not good, otherwise he would not look at Zhang Juzheng like this.

Zhang Juzheng stood up, bowed his head and said, "I will stay away for now."

"No problem, let's listen together." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that everyone should sit down and talk. There is no need to be restrained. What should we avoid?Wen Zhang, Wu Qi, Zhu Yijun humerus, no need to avoid it.

"All clues point to sir." Zhao Mengyou's words were like a thunderbolt. The evidence completely pointed to Zhang Juzheng, and formed a complete chain of evidence. Zhang Juzheng only needed to be supplemented by Zhang Juzheng's autograph to convict Zhang Juzheng.

But there is a lack of Zhang Juzheng’s handwriting.

It’s not that I don’t want to forge it, it’s just that I can’t find it.

"It's very similar. Gao Gong's handwritten instructions for Wang Jinglong's case back then are still vivid in my mind. This moment is exactly like that time. It's so similar!" Zhu Yijun leaned on the back of his chair and talked about old things.

In the first case of assassinating the king and killing the driver, Gao Gong's autographed letter appeared and was authenticated. In the second case of the palace fire, all the same clues pointed to Gao Gong. Zhu Yijun brought Gao Gong to the court for questioning. Just admit it.

Gao Gong was very suitable for taking the blame and settling old scores easily. Gao Gong also understood that at that time, his death would be the best explanation for any party, so Gao Gong chose to plead guilty, but carefully investigated Under the pressure, Zhang Siwei was finally caught out.

This case pointed directly and completely at Zhang Juzheng, but there was a lack of conclusive evidence.

Zhang Juzheng's handwriting is not so easy to obtain. The letters written by Zhang Juzheng to various governors would be copied by You Qi. The copies were sent away and were originally intended to be sent to the palace. Zhang Juzheng did this to avoid suspicion. What he said to the border ministers was clear to the palace.

Therefore, the palace is the only place where Zhang Juzheng's handwriting is stored, and the place where Zhang Juzheng's handwriting is stored is in Baoqisi.

Without Zhang Juzheng's handwriting, it is impossible to crucify Zhang Juzheng as the instigator behind the scenes. Who made Zhang Juzheng the emperor's Yuanfu Taifu? His handwriting is simply unobtainable. It is better to forge it randomly than not to make it at all.

Zhang Juzheng's handwriting in the early years was mainly in Taige style, which was the writing style advocated by Sanyang during the Zhengtong years. It was the same as what was printed on the printer and was very square. However, after Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet, his handwriting became wildly cursive. I got up, and later used a lot of pencils, and my pen-holding habits were different, which caused great changes in my handwriting.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's handwriting is really difficult to forge.

"It's really all deliberate." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with great conviction, "No wonder the gentleman didn't let me come over."

Zhu Yijun didn't believe that Zhang Juzheng had not thought of these dangers, so the reason for his refusal to see the emperor was obvious. He did not want the emperor to be in danger.

A former chief minister who has lost his power is so dangerous. Therefore, in the political world, the rule of the game is to retreat if you don't advance. There is no possibility of retreating bravely. Zhang Juzheng, who has seen the sinister people's hearts, had already thought of it before Ding You. He knew his own fate because he had seen it many times, from Yan Song to Xu Jie to Gao Gong.

The tree fell and the hozen scattered, the wall fell and everyone pushed.

Even with the emperor's holy family, it is still extremely dangerous, and who knows if the emperor is testing whether Ming Shenzong has any thoughts of coming back after abdicating the throne. He talks like flowers, but people's hearts are far apart. In the face of power, Everyone will fall into endless suspicion, which is why officialdom is a complete zero-sum game.

Tishuai will still investigate, and Qi Jiguang reports the results of the battle. All the more than [-] desperadoes who fled into the mountains and forests have been killed or captured. The entire Xishan Mountain has been turned upside down, and even the earthworms in the ground have been pulled out. After checking it, I was determined not to miss anything.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng talked several times before returning to the palace with a bunch of tails.

The Ming Dynasty captured a total of more than [-] people alive. These people came from all over the world, including the northern captives. The northern captives under the accounts of Anda Khan and Tuman Khan, the thieves from Shandong, the remnants of the Japanese invaders from Zhejiang, and the northern captives. Accounting for the majority, these desperadoes, just like Chen Zhuang, actually don’t know who is hiring them. They all follow orders, but it is not clear whose orders they follow.

The existence of the information cocoon room makes it difficult for these 300 people to know who to take orders from. They have different opinions, and these people spread rumors. The clearer they explain, the more complicated the matter becomes.

The only thing that is certain is that hiring these people only costs 20 taels of silver per person, which is money to buy a life.

The only master who knows the truth has died in the battle, killed by the emperor's Qi family sword. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. When entering the battle formation, you must be prepared to be killed. Even if Zhu Yijun knows that the other party is the master He will also kill the enemy, because in the battle formation, he doesn't care about that at all.

Information cocoon rooms really exist. Just like [-]% of people don’t know the names of their county magistrates and government offices, the unilateral blockage of information has also led to people working in information cocoon rooms not knowing the orders at all. Where is the source of.

Therefore, the investigation of the case was immediately stuck. The identity of the boss was not mysterious. Everyone called him Gonggong, the water god Gonggong.

Gonggong is the water god, and the Ming Dynasty promoted the virtue of red fire. It is self-evident what this water god wants to do. This is not the first time that the name Gonggong has appeared. The last time was Wang Chonggu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who said that there was a big bandit in the south of the Yangtze River who was instigating everywhere and robbing homes and houses. The imperial court went to sea to arrest Tongwen and offered a reward for clues, but Gonggong had already escaped.

So is the Gonggong whom the emperor killed this time really the one who stirred up troubles all over the south of the Yangtze River?
Tishuai Zhao Mengyou thinks things are not that simple.

Zhu Yijun finished reviewing the memorial in his hand. There was another flood in Jiangnan this year, but it was not serious. The effect of dredging the river in Songyang Mountain in Nanya was excellent. This year's flood in Nanya did not cause much harm, but this time the drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi It got serious.

The Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty talked about the formation of trade winds and rain last time. The southeast sea breeze carries a lot of water vapor, and the cold air from the north forms rainfall. However, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is that the water vapor in the southeast sea wind is declining, and the cold is The reason for the intensification of this celestial phenomenon is not yet clear, but it is extremely harmful.

Zhu Yijun actually knows some of the results. The Little Ice Age is getting more and more serious.

Emperor Chongzhen’s biggest enemy was a disordered world, and there were also natural disasters. Wasn’t the Little Ice Age the year-round average temperature dropped by two degrees?How could it have such a terrible and bad impact?

However, under the small glacier climate, the West Lake would freeze during the Chongzhen period, and even Guangzhou would have snow every year on the ice where humans and horses could travel.

The rain belts of the Ming Dynasty are mainly concentrated in the south where there is little water shortage, while the north has become drier and colder. The mini-ice age will destroy agricultural production on a large scale.

Li Chengliang reported that the soldiers in Liaodong were working hard, but the price of food was so high. He asked for payment in kind to alleviate the hardship. At the same time, he asked for orders to reclaim wasteland. The person in charge of the reclamation was Hou Yuzhao. Li Chengliang poured out his bitterness in the memorial. It is also a fact that rice in Liaodong is expensive, and the more money is sent to Liaodong, the more expensive the rice in Liaodong will be.

To solve this problem, in Li Chengliang's view, the only way is to expand the territory and expand the farming area.

Hou Yuzhao, as the patrol commander, has been reclamating wasteland from Zhangwu to the west. Now that there is a war in the direction of Quaningwei, it is not suitable for reclamation, so he should go east.

Zhu Yijun approved Li Chengliang's memorial. Zhu Yijun's impression of Li Chengliang was extremely complicated. When Zhang Juzheng was still alive, this man was as obedient as he could be. The court was facing the east, and he couldn't even look west, but As soon as Zhang Juzheng left, the eagle dog raised by Li Chengliang, Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, began his fierce life.Zhu Yijun looked at the Kanyu map. The Ming Dynasty needed a blood bag. To survive this small ice age, a large amount of food was needed to enter the Ming Dynasty. In fact, this blood bag has been planned for many red-haired banana plantations in Southeast Asia.

Ming Dynasty needed to clearly know the location of these plantations, the sea environment, intelligence, and mature sea routes. In short, to get all these plantations, it needed a powerful navy.

Wang Shuguo, the governor of Songjiang Military Affairs, submitted a memorial requesting for a partial reduction of the fishery tax. The fishery tax was divided according to the boat. A boat was worth thirteen, that is, a tax of thirteen kilograms for one hundred kilograms of fish. Wang Shuguo believed that this tax was real. The price was too high. Fishing by fishermen was a struggle in the sun and the wind. It was too much for the court to take away 13%. Wang Shuguo asked for it to be reduced to 3%, and Wang Shuguo reprimanded him in extremely harsh terms. The establishment of the Tax Inspection Institute.

In Wang Shuguo's view, the emergence of the Taxation Bureau was an unjust act by the emperor who had lost his benevolence. Whoever proposed the establishment of the Taxation Bureau was a sycophant who deceived the emperor. Wang Shuguo did not know that the establishment of the Taxation Bureau was the result of the emperor's insistence. , even Zhang Juzheng couldn't stop him.

Similarly, Wang Shuguo considered the decline in court taxes, so he came up with a stepped tax price.

For luxury households with an area of ​​more than [-] acres in Songjiang Prefecture, the tax increases to [-]%; for businesses with a revenue of more than [-] taels, the tax increases to [-]%.

Wang Shuguo also bluntly said that this tax law is the whip of the imperial court, a method in the policy toolbox, and the emperor's hands and feet to control the world. If you are a businessman, you will get three out of [-]. This tax is really too low.

"This Wang Shuguo, I remember, is from Yongjia, Zhejiang. He studied under Yang Bo and is a serious member of the Jin Party. Why did he suddenly become loyal to the emperor and the country?" Zhu Yijun asked his secretary Zhang with some uncertainty after reading the memorial. Macro, the political spectrum of Wang Shuguo.

"Yes, Wang Shuguo is from an official family." Zhang Hong pulled out the memo and confirmed Wang Shuguo's identity.

Wang Shuguo's identity was from a family of officials. Wang Shuguo's father's uncle was Zhang Cong. In the early years of Jiajing, during the Great Etiquette Controversy, he was the Crown Prince Taishi, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Grand Bachelor of Huagaidian, and the third term Zhang Cong, the chief assistant and imperial master, posthumously named Wenzhong.

He was the person whom Master Dao missed the most during the 25 years of humiliation.

Jiajing was only 15 years old when he ascended to the throne. Yang Tinghe, an old man, relied on his status as a veteran to form a political alliance with the Queen Mother Zhang in the palace to suppress Emperor Jiajing. It was Zhang Cong who relied on the Taoist Master to call his biological father his father. He considers his own mother to be his mother, and calls Queen Mother Zhang his aunt.

Zhang Cong was a mainstay of the reformists during the Jiajing period. In the 14th year of Jiajing's reign, Zhang Cong became seriously ill and became an official. Every year, Taoist priests sent people to visit Zhang Cong at Zhenyi Academy in Yaoxi, Wenzhou, and issued several orders to hope that Zhang Cong would return. However, Zhang Cong was ill for a long time and could not make the trip.

Zhang Cong, Zhang Juzheng in the early years of Jiajing, many of Zhang Juzheng's New Deals originated from Zhang Cong's New Deals, such as passing the official examination and passing the examination, clearing finances and taxes, returning the land to the land, rectifying academic affairs, etc.

Wang Shuguo's teacher was Yang Bo, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he was a serious apprentice, one of the core figures of the Jin Party who accepted Shu Xiu and paid filial piety every year.

But the progressive tax law introduced by Wang Shuguo is just trying to kill the powerful rightists.

Wang Shuguo's memorial expelled merchants whose revenue was less than [-] silver dollars. The tax law was formulated based on the basic idea of ​​asking whoever has the money to collect money. This is in line with the government's policy of treating the common people well and being generous in the face of hardship. Wind power.

In Wang Shuguo's view, merchants with a revenue of less than [-] yuan are just peddlers and do not deserve to be called merchants at all. Just like if the acres of land are less than [-] yuan, how dare you be called a gentry?

The power of the progressive tax law is an unimaginably terrible tax. Taking 10% as an example, if you earn 5 taels of silver, you will have to pay [-] taels of silver. The higher the income, the more painful it is. The reason why I feel that the progressive tax law has no power is probably because Progressive tax laws have not been applied to themselves.

The reason why Zhu Yijun said that Wang Shuguo was loyal to the emperor and the country was because he criticized the Tax Administration. There was nothing wrong with the criticism, because Zhu Yijun broke the contract.

Zhu Yijun once promised Zhang Juzheng that the Taxation Institute would have civilian officials in charge of the affairs of the Taxation Institute, and that local officials would manage the affairs of the Taxation Institute and be supervised by governors and inspections. However, Zhu Yijun broke his promise, and the Taxation Institute now does not have any There are only civil servants, Jinyiwei and Neifan. The Tax Inspection Institute will give the imperial court whatever tax it collects.

Zhang Juzheng was not in the government, and he did not trust civil servants at all, so Wang Shuguo scolded him, and his scolding was very reasonable. Just like the Taoist master could not refute Hai Rui, Zhu Yijun did not refute Wang Shuguo's doubts about the Tax Institute, because it was indeed Zhu Yijun who did it No, what was promised was actually broken. How can the emperor break his promise?

But Zhang Juzheng was not in court, so Zhu Yijun could only do this. He planned to have his own way, so Wang Shuguo's objection was just to express his position.

But Wang Shuguo's introduction of this stepped tax law was a punch in the waist of Shi Yaohao. It was also a way of making noise for the Ming Dynasty to return the land to the Qing Dynasty. If you don't want to be charged such a [-]% tax, just be old. Just return the land honestly.

"Then let's stay in Nanya for the time being and try the effect. We will take it to Wenyuan Pavilion and give it to the first assistant Lu Tiaoyang. The matter will be discussed tomorrow." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Wang Shuguo's memorial and also replied to several questions about the Taxation Institute. , Wang Shuguo did not understand the basic rules of the operation of the Tax Inspection Institute. The Tax Inspection Institute first issued a reminder ticket, that is, a reminder, and then tax collection was carried out. Instead of collecting taxes first and then issuing a reminder ticket, these were two completely different things. a concept.

One is plundering by force, the other is collecting debts, which are totally different.

This is Zhu Yijun's daily life, reviewing various memorials and making choices one after another, deciding the direction of the Ming Dynasty. The early years of Wanli were the last opportunity for the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yijun must seize it.

"Hiss!" Zhu Yijun threw away the pen and shook his hand vigorously. His right hand was hit yesterday, and the whole hand was a little weak, especially the little finger, which was throbbing and painful.

"Your Majesty, please ask Feng Daxuan to write for you." Zhang Hong knew that His Majesty was injured. He couldn't use his right hand. It would take a hundred days to strain his muscles and bones. During these hundred days, it would be better for His Majesty to use his right hand less.

"Let Zhang Banban ghostwrite, I'll keep an eye on it." Zhu Yijun didn't ask Zhang Hong to call Feng Bao over. Feng Bao, as the ancestor of the palace, was also very busy. This was just a temporary assignment and did not involve Feng Bao's power.

Zhu Yijun still couldn't understand Emperor Wanli's laziness and unwillingness to criticize memorials. He just let others do it for him. He didn't even want to read it. He could just ask the eunuch in charge of the ceremony to print it in front of the emperor.

However, Emperor Wanli refused to sign the official document, and the Ming Dynasty was suspended for more than twenty years, which caused systematic damage to the Ming Dynasty, which was no less than the impact of the Little Ice Age.

Zhu Yijun could not imagine how disordered a future generation without red-headed documents would be. Under the Ming Dynasty's imperial system, nothing could be done without the emperor's seal.

Zhang Hong picked up the pen and knelt on the ground. Whatever His Majesty said was whatever he said. He didn't dare to change a word. His Majesty was watching in front of him. Zhu Yijun couldn't stand it anymore, so he had a table and chair brought over for Zhang Hong to sit on. Write on it.

Obviously, there were people from Feng Bao here in Baoqisi. It didn't take long before Feng Bao hurriedly asked for an audience. There was no cover up of his dissatisfaction with Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong shouldn't touch these memorials. This was The authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies belongs to Feng Bao, the ancestor, and Zhang Hong should not touch it.

"Feng Bao, please stop that look in your eyes. My hand was injured, so I asked Zhang Daban to ghostwrite. Looking at your fighting cock, Zhang Daban said he wanted you to ghostwrite. I thought you were busy, so I didn't call you. Are you concerned about the temporary dispatch?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao who looked like he wanted to eat people and scolded him.

"I deserve death for my crime." Feng Baosu knelt down and apologized obediently. However, his words did not follow the holy will at all. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you are so generous, because I will not fight. In this palace, I have to die. As long as word spreads, the people below will think that I have lost the holy family. Without His Majesty's holy family, what is the difference between me and a wild dog on the roadside?"

"So, I have to fight."

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Forgive me. You are right. I didn't think about it. I just don't want people to see that my hand is injured. You can write it."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Feng Baokou knew the character of the person in front of him, and he meant it exactly. As soon as he opened his mouth, Your Majesty agreed. What a holy person this is.

Feng Bao also has something to do, and he also needs support. News in the palace spreads very quickly. This kind of behavior can easily make people mistakenly believe that Feng Bao will die without a burial place without the grace of God.

Feng Bao thanked him and started ghostwriting.

Early the next morning, the daily court meeting began. Zhu Yijun had been away from the capital for more than five days. There was a backlog of memorials that needed to be discussed by the court. Before so many important national events, the first assistant Lu Tiaoyang and the second assistant Wang Chonggu were the first to inquire. It's not a backlog of memorials.

"Your Majesty, I have some doubts. The notes I sent to the cabinet for approval yesterday were different from the previous ones, and there were three kinds of notes. I would like to ask you why." Lu Tiaoyang must know whether something earth-shaking has happened in the palace. It was not the ancestor Feng Bao who was involved in the attack on Yicheng Bo Zhang Juzheng in Xishan, which aroused His Majesty's suspicion of Feng Bao.

This is a change in the direction of the political winds, and we must inquire clearly.

"Sir, you always tell me that the emperor's body of gold is as high as a mountain and as firm as the sun and moon shining brightly. If you make a move, billions of people will look up to you and act accordingly, which means that the emperor is entrenched in the world. If the giants in the entire Ming Dynasty turn over, the Ming Dynasty will be shaken three times. I am less than six feet tall, how can I be a mountain? When I saw it today, it was indeed like this." Zhu Yijun said with emotion.

Zhang Juzheng told the emperor that the emperor was a person admired by trillions of people. Zhu Yijun didn't believe it at first, but now that he believed it, he asked someone to write for him, making the first and second assistants feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"In the case of Xishan's attack on Mr. Xishan, I led my cavalry to help. I was hit in the right arm by a gangster. Although I had iron armor, the imperial doctor of Jieguyuan believed that there was a bone fracture. He injured his muscles and bones for a hundred days. I'm afraid I won't be able to personally approve the memorial in the next hundred days, so I asked Feng Daban to write it for me." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to carry the iron armor. The iron armor was still bloody, and the exquisite textures were all blood red. of.

The blood is the blood of the enemy, and Zhu Yijun is not without cost. There is a pit on Tie Hun Jia's right arm, not just the right arm, but seven scars on it, with dents of varying degrees.

"I am not brave. I heard that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was never injured in battles in his life. I had to rest for three months in the first battle, which is incomparable." Zhu Yijun was full of calmness. Li Shimin was born to be a general, and Zhu Yijun was a fierce one.

Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande with 800 men and was able to win with [-] men. Zhu Yijun was injured even when he attacked a desperado.

"Your Majesty, I thought it was just the Spring and Autumn Period calligraphy and there is no record. I don't think Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was never injured during his whole life in battle. It's just that there is no record in the history books." Wan Shihe first expressed his opinion and competed with Li Shimin for military merit. That was obviously I don't overestimate my abilities, but Wan Shihe doesn't believe it if Li Shimin has never been injured in his military life.

"Qi Shuai has never been injured." Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and shook his head.

"That's because Your Majesty didn't see me crying out in pain." Qi Jiguang smiled and opened his sleeves. Xia Tian's court uniform was extremely thin, and a half-foot-long wound like a centipede appeared in front of everyone, looking extremely ferocious.

"In the past, when we were pacifying the Japanese, I was injured by the Japanese pirates. At the beginning of the pacification, I lost three of the three battles. Victory and defeat are common things for military strategists, and so are injuries. The swords on the battlefield have no eyes, and the arrows will not move because I am Qi Jiguang. , just fly around Chen." Qi Jiguang showed a rare sense of humor.

That's what war is like, casualties are inevitable.

"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Qi." Only then did Zhu Yijun realize that Qi Jiguang's strong performance was covered with scars. He thought that military talent would have a miraculous effect on immunity on the battlefield, but apparently it did not.

Zhu Yijun shook his arm and said with a stern expression: "Dear gentlemen, if anyone with knowledge of the attack on Mr. Xishan reports it, I will reward you greatly. If the conspirator reports it, I can spare him the punishment of execution by his clan. It’s only one person’s fault.”

The meaning is very clear. Last time, the clan executed Zhang Siwei and his accomplices, but this time they still dealt with them with the utmost integrity, with rivers of blood flowing, as if they were conspiring to rebel.

Zhu Yijun upgraded the attack on Zhang Juzheng to the level of assassination of the king. This was to treat Zhang Juzheng as the Ming Shenzong in the past six years, and also to dispel the speculations of the courtiers about the rift between the emperor and his ministers.

　The progressive tax system is an extremely terrible tax system for the rich. Those celebrities would rather risk their careers to escape. This is why.It’s not that I don’t know the danger, it’s just that I knew the danger and took the risk desperately. Please give me a monthly ticket, ow! !
