I'm really not doing business

Chapter 360 Your Majesty is like this because of you, Zhang Juzheng!
  The confidence that Zhang Juzheng and Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun were able to implement the New Deal unscrupulously was none other than the [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp. These [-] people were the basic confidence that the Ming Emperor dared to do such nonsense.

Zhu Yijun prefers to call this army Qi Jiajun, but under the feudal monarchy, this name is really taboo. People can call it that because they like it, but Zhu Yijun can only call it the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp.

This army is different from other armies. There are too many different places. But if you want to sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence. It only needs eight words. That is to report to the emperor and save the head of Guizhou. These are the last four. Words destined this army to be an invincible and powerful army.

No one can defeat them, except the Ming Dynasty. It's funny to say that the reason why the Ming Dynasty can defeat them is that this army never points the blade inward. Qi Jiguang has completely two appearances inside and outside the pass.

Outside the pass, Qi Jiguang was the well-deserved king of the north. Anda Khan and Tuman Khan could not get even a little advantage from Qi Jiguang. Inside the pass, Qi Jiguang was easy to bully, without the protection of the emperor and Zhang Juzheng. When Qi Jiguang went to Beijing to receive the reward in the first year of Wanli, he was taken care of by Wang Chonggu.

How long can this army last? Zhu Yijun couldn't guarantee it. The only thing he could guarantee was that this army would not lose its faith while he was alive.

Under the feudal monarchy where thieves come like a comb, soldiers come like a grate, and officials come like a shave, the existence of such an army is invincible.

Why are they invincible? On this issue, the Thai-Spanish envoy Legas lived in Peking University Camp for several months, and finally got an evaluation: they are a group of real-life Paladins, and there are [-] people.

Paladin is a Templar, a legend widely circulated in the West. Counting the defender Charlemagne, there are only thirteen people in total. They are the concrete embodiment of the knight spirit in the West, the highest model of morality, and the embodiment of humility, honor, The embodiment of sacrifice, heroism, compassion, honesty, justice, and spirituality.

Such templar warriors are only spread in legends and legends, rather than reality, and Le Yazhi saw such templar warriors in the Ming Dynasty, and there were hundreds of thousands of them.

After Li Yazhi had a detailed understanding of the actions of the [-] soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, he once wrote in his travel notes:
  "Kyodo warriors never rob civilians. Whether they are marching or stationed, if necessary, they always buy needed goods at very fair prices. Even if civilians refuse to take them because they are afraid of violence or support the army, but They will still leave money. This is justice and honesty.

The Jingtang warriors never bully men and women. They have steel-like discipline and have the same faith as the Templars. They are loyal to the king and to everyone on this land. This is loyalty and honor. They used their mortal bodies to create iron wills to protect their beliefs.

The warriors of Jingtang protect the lower class civilians. I once witnessed them attacking in all directions when they were stationed in Jingtang, wiping out the bandits near the capital. When I first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, even in the Kingdom of Heaven, there were people ten miles away from the capital. There are hundreds of thieves, and bandit suppression is the experience of the warriors in Jingtang. They are full of mercy and sacrifice in the battle.

The warriors of Jingtang will rescue the elderly, children and women, and adopt poor children who have been abandoned for various reasons. When these children grow up, they will still become warriors of Jingtang. They will only be more heroic and humble, and destroy the Ming Emperor. The enemy pointed at by the tip of the sword.

The warriors of Jingtang, they are the living Paladins, and from generation to generation, endlessly, they use the swords in their hands to guard the civilization of the Kingdom of Heaven.

This is a group of living legends, even more pious than Paladin. Unfortunately, the Jingtang warriors believe in their ancestors, their king, their country, and their civilians. Of course, this is also the most fortunate thing. Such an army does not exist with the highest goal of conquest. "

Legaz's evaluation of the Jingtang warriors, the elite soldiers of the Jingying camp, was very objective and fair.

Because in his travel notes, he commented on the Ming Emperor: "As the supreme king of the Celestial Kingdom, the Ming Emperor, who was rich all over the world, was so stingy and extremely greedy that people always wondered how the wise prime minister could After educating such an emperor, people will naturally blame the eunuchs."

For the Ming emperor who was able to send Legas to be cut into tens of thousands of pieces and use rosin to make specimens without explanation and without any reason, it can be seen that Legas was evaluated in his travel notes. , how objective and true.

Legaz said that people blame eunuchs for their sins, and his meaning is very clear. He personally believes that His Majesty's stingy and greedy nature is innate and is not anyone's problem.

Of course, after Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun read Legas's travel notes, he did not give any instructions to modify this paragraph. He just left a sentence, "I am such a person."

The warriors of Jingtang and the sharp soldiers of Jingying are a group that can rival or even surpass the Paladins who have been processed through countless legendary stories. This is the reason for Zhu Yijun to act recklessly. The group of luxury households in Xitucheng are so angry that they grind their back molars. They were all bitten into pieces, and they did not dare to let the conflict escalate further, because the group of sharp soldiers from Beidaying would really wipe them out.

As for the Tiqi, red-helmet generals and Han generals responsible for protecting Zhu Yijun, part of them came from the hereditary Xunwei, and the other part came from the piers selected from the sharp soldiers.

Buyan, the eldest son of Tuman Khan and the successor of Great Khan, the Great Khan of the Grassland Sect, stood in front of the Wenhua Hall, looking at the majestic buildings, his eyes were slightly dull, he was in a trance, and he was thinking about where the headquarters should go.

"Buyan, the envoy of Xuantu Man Khan, comes to see you." Xiao Huangmen raised his voice and brought Buyan's thoughts back. He sorted out his clothes and walked into the Wenhua Hall.

"Greetings to your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty." Buyan bowed five times and kowtowed three times very respectfully, and bowed his head to the ear. He was very cautious and did not dare to make any mistakes in his manners, because this time His audience is related to the life and death of left-wing tribes.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Buyan, you speak Chinese very fluently, so you don't need to find a general interpreter."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Buyan kowtowed again before standing up.

"I heard that Anda Khan took action against the left wing. The invasion was like fire. In one day, nearly thirty tribes were plundered. The Tuman Khan suffered heavy losses." Zhu Yijun looked at Buyan. In fact, Buyan looked like Han people. There is not much difference. If the left fold is replaced with the right fold, and the hair is combed more neatly, it will be more similar.

Wan Shihe once discussed this issue specifically. Regarding the issue of whether the northern barbarians outside the Great Wall were descendants of Chinese Miao, Wan Shihe quoted "Historical Records" and said: The Huns are also descendants of the Xia Hou clan, their ancestors.

The Xiongnu are the origin of the tribes in the north. Since the Xiongnu are also descendants of the Chinese Miao, it stands to reason that all the tribes that thrive in the north are descendants of the Chinese Miao. This is to claim that, for example, the Mughal Empire has recently communicated very frequently with the Ming Dynasty. , they call themselves Mughals, then the Ming Dynasty, as the Zhengshuo of the Central Plains Dynasty, has a claim.

In terms of etiquette, many things cannot be distinguished intuitively. Etiquette is etiquette, practice is practice, and they are different.

"So if you stay in the capital for a long time, are you begging me to give you something? You know, I am such a person, stingy and greedy. If I don't have enough chips, I will not give you a penny more." Zhu Yijun said with a close expression He said this in a giving tone. The reason why he could be so confident was because the left-wing tribes to which Buyan belonged were defeated generals under Qi Jiguang and the Jingying camp.

The Ming army won.

War is like this. When you lose, you even breathe wrong.

"I beg your great majesty to grant my father a royal title." Buyan bowed his head again and said: "The wool on the grassland can be supplied to the Ming Dynasty free of charge in the future."

"Well, very good." Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with this bargaining chip. Even without the extremely profitable worsted woolen business, worsted wool itself is an excellent fabric, as is woolen wool, but All goods related to the four words of food, clothing, housing and transportation are worthy of attention.

Zhu Yijun agreed to the first condition. This time Anda Khan's reason for starting the war was wool. Moreover, this was not a specious banner to start the war, but a real reason. The peacemaker represented by Sanniangzi, on the right wing of the Beibei, also It was the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom that had a large number of supporters, which was why Sanniangzi was able to evade Anda Khan.

And Anda Khan's war against the left wing was not for no reason, but because his peace negotiators and war factions reached an agreement.

The left and right wings of the Beirut formed a substantial conflict of interest in the wool business. The existence of Tuman Khan and the supply of wool to the Ming Dynasty caused heavy losses to the right wing of Anda Khan and Sanniangzi. The right wing could provide bulk raw materials, and the Tuman Khan could provide them with bulk raw materials. Manhan's left wing can also provide it, so that Sanniangzi will completely lose her bargaining power.

"Do you need anything else?" Zhu Yijun said curiously: "This time, Ada Khan is coming with great force, and he has been winning battles all his life. He is indeed very strong."

Anda Khan's military talent was extremely high. He fought with the Ming Dynasty for twenty-five years without losing. To put it bluntly, the existence of the right wing and Anda Khan's illustrious military exploits were its cornerstone.

"Intelligence is needed." Buyan did not mention armaments, firearms, or military assistance, but intelligence. He said sincerely again: "Your Majesty, my father is not a cunning wild wolf on the grassland. He is Haidongqing on the grassland."

"In fact, this is also true. Whether Su Bahai led the Chaohua tribe in Liaodong or Dong Fox in Daningwei, they all caused a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty, and my father was their king."

Tuman Khan is not weak. The reason why he appears weak is because Tuman Khan met Qi Jiguang. Before Qi Jiguang went out to fight, Tuman Khan's ten thousand households could fight Li Chengliang in Liaodong. If I go, Dong Hu will be able to kill Miyun general Tang Kekuan in the Beigukou formation.

Li Chengliang was already one of the few generals in the Ming Dynasty who could go out to fight and win.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Who gave the Ming Dynasty such a number one figure as Qi Jiguang? What Qi Jiguang is best at is military training and army building. If he had not met Qi Jiguang, Tuman Khan could defeat the Xifengkou invaders in the first year of Longqing. The captive king of Gyeonggi also had a reputation for being vicious. The reason why he looked so embarrassed now was because he was beaten by Qi Jiguang.

It is not shameful to be beaten by Qi Jiguang. A figure like Qi Jiguang with unique military talent is the outstanding people in the Central Plains. How many people can there be in all dynasties?
  Ida Khan is strong, but Tuman Khan still has the confidence to fight. The additional military assistance is far away from Tuman Khan and cannot quench his immediate thirst, and it is difficult to achieve. Every fire that Ming Dynasty gave to Tuman Khan Guns may eventually be fired at the Ming army. Buyan believes that the Ming emperor, who loves soldiers as much as his sons, has a high chance of disagreeing.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a complicated person. He was easy to understand and there was no need to guess the divine will. For a king who went to the capital camp to parade his troops and horses in all weathers for seven years, he naturally loved his soldiers as much as his son.

"You are very smart." Zhu Yijun heard about Buyan's conditions. Buyan was really smart. If he asked for armaments, Zhu Yijun really would not give them. Even if the Ming Dynasty could control the quantity of gunpowder exports, the firearms donated by the military would become useless. Iron, but Zhu Yijun still refused because Tuman Khan was too close.

Making friends at a distance and attacking at close range is the political wisdom left by our ancestors. Zhu Yijun is useless in terms of military talent, but his talent in politics is indeed extremely high. This is a political talent recognized by Zhang Juzheng. His Majesty's thinking about politics is like a handful. Smash the sledgehammer on Zhang Juzheng’s ideological stamp.

"So what's the price? Is there any price that the left can pay?" Zhu Yijun is very concerned about this point. There is no free lunch in the world. Free is not really free, and the price of free is even more expensive.

Buyan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and then said: "Ten thousand war horses, thirty thousand horses, and one thousand cattle every year." "An extremely generous price." Zhu Yijun was also very satisfied with the price. The reason why Buyan proposed intelligence support was because the intelligence collected by Ming Dynasty's Duntai Yuanhou was more accurate and more timely than the intelligence collected by the left wing.

"Can you give me more? I am already very satisfied with the price, but people are greedy." Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with the price, but he wanted more. He thought for a moment and said: "Every year, five Hundreds of stallions.”

The corner of Buyan's mouth twitched, the Ming Emperor was really greedy!

"Yes!" Buyan finally agreed. The Ming Dynasty was powerful and if he wanted anything from the Ming Dynasty, he had to accept the price increase from the Ming Emperor. He could only agree or not.

Buyan stayed in the capital for half a year. Shah Maimaiti, the envoy of the Mughal Kingdom, was able to provide some war horses to the Ming Dynasty. This was extremely bad news for Buyan.

In fact, the relationship between Shah Maimaiti, or the Mughal Kingdom and the Tatars is not deep. The Mughals are Turkic Mongols. When Buyan met Shah Maimaiti, Shah Amaimaiti expressed that he could not help Tuman Khan, the great khan of the clan.

"My asking price is still a little low." Zhu Yijun was immediately annoyed when he heard Buyan agree so readily. In fact, he also knew very well that the price was already very satisfactory. It was a war horse and a stallion before the Ming Dynasty. Money can't buy resources at all. If it could be bought, would Zhu Yijun still have to go to India to bring back war horses?
  Tuman Khan still had some strength, and some of Anda Khan's decisions had become a little shaky due to his old age. Therefore, Qi Jiguang judged that Tuman Khan could survive.

Buyan finally met with His Majesty and exchanged his wool for the canonization of the Ming Emperor. This represented the Ming court's recognition of Tuman Khan, and also meant that in a short period of time, the Ming Dynasty would not continue to conquer Tuman Khan, so Tuman Khan would Can fully deal with Anda Khan; Buyan exchanged war horses and stallions for the support of Ming Dynasty's military intelligence.

Buyan saluted respectfully again and left the Wenhua Palace, leaving the palace with joy.

At this time, in the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Yijun looked at the court officials and said with a serious face: "Uncle Da Zong, ask Chen Xuexue, the minister of Honglu Temple, to write to Sanniangzi and tell her the conditions given by Tuman Khan."

"Wang Cifu, write a letter to Anda Khan and tell him the conditions given by Tuman Khan. If Anda Khan needs intelligence support from the Ming Dynasty, he will pay the same price."

"Ah?" Ma Ziqiang looked at Buyan's figure. Before Buyan could get far, His Majesty sold Buyan backhand! He quickly bowed his head and said, "I obey your order."

Going back on your word? The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did promise to support Tuman Khan, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not promise that he would not support Anda Khan. This is not going back on his promise, it is inciting and arrogance.

Once Tuman Khan gained the intelligence advantage, the possibility of Anda Khan wanting a quick victory was very slim. Then if Anda Khan wanted to achieve a quick victory, he had to also purchase the Ming's intelligence. He could not form an intelligence advantage, nor could he fall into an intelligence disadvantage. , if Anda Khan was defeated again, he would no longer have his eldest son Sengge to help him bear the price of defeat.

"I obey the order." Wang Chonggu obeyed the leader's order. He was really amazed by the emperor. His Majesty really lived up to the word "scholar". He was extremely ruthless. He was afraid that the fire in the grassland was not burning brightly enough and would add fuel to the fire.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Juzheng. He dared not imagine how far His Majesty would have gone without Zhang Juzheng stopping him. After completing the task of master Shao Guoxin monopolizing the government and maintaining the stability of the country, Taifu Yuanfu's main task now was The mission is to prevent His Majesty from slipping further from a sunny and cheerful boy into an unspeakable monster.

This is the consensus of the courtiers.

This was an urgent court meeting. After Buyan's audience, the Ministry of Rites was going to draft an imperial edict to canonize Tuman Khan. In fact, the edict had already been drafted. Tuman Khan's royal title was King Huaiyi, the same as Ananda Khan's King Shunyi. , both were titled King of Lu, which represented a temporary truce between the Ming Dynasty and the Tuman Khan. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households united to prepare grain and fodder and transfer them to Datong, Xuanfu. At the same time, they summoned Xuanda to be cautious and prevent the fire from burning. Within the Ming Dynasty.

The huge machine of the Ming Dynasty began to operate, and Zhu Yijun left Zhang Juzheng and Wan Shihe behind.

"Wan Dazai, is it appropriate to add the overseas chronicles to the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian, or is it appropriate to append it to the vassal ritual notes?" Zhu Yijun asked about something he was more concerned about. The classification of overseas fan national chronicles was originally decided to be placed in the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian. It is above the canons, but now it seems that it is more suitable to be placed in the ritual notes of the feudal state.

According to the previous agreement, the Ming court will recognize the legality of the Han people of the Ming Dynasty in establishing their own vassals overseas. Then these overseas countries will be the barriers of the Ming Dynasty. This is a restoration of a certain degree of feudalism. Then the records of the overseas countries will be placed in the Ming Dynasty Conference. , it is not appropriate.

Wan Shihe thought for a moment and said: "I think it is more appropriate to put it in the vassal ritual notes."

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng.

"I think there is nothing wrong with it." Zhang Juzheng approved the Ming Emperor's approach. The Ming Huidian is the code of the four regions of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the vassal rituals are applicable to the land of Liuhe in the Ming Dynasty. That is, the code within the fence.

"Sir, you think that I did something wrong when I informed the king of the captives of Tuman Khan's conditions and my answer. Now only the court officials accept the order and take it back. It is not a change of orders overnight." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng for his opinion. It has been a daily routine in the past few years. If a government order is withdrawn when it is not implemented, it cannot be regarded as a change overnight.

What Zhu Yijun did was not a little inappropriate, it was very inappropriate. At best, this behavior of the Ming Emperor is called sitting on the fence and maximizing interests. At worst, it is called betrayal. As for whether it rises to the level of losing the country's great trust, it is very debatable. .

"I thought there was nothing wrong, and I thought I could scare Anda Khan, so I said that the Ming Dynasty intended to provide military aid to the Tuman Khan, so that Anda Khan could pay a greater price in exchange for the Ming Dynasty not to interfere too much." Zhang Juzheng Not only did they not stop the emperor from maximizing his interests, he even proposed more severe measures.

Zhang Juzheng is a civil servant. He has the basic passive skills of a civil servant, twice as much.

"Extreme pressure, political blackmail?" Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Sir, you are still awesome! Why didn't I think of it, and use non-existent military aid to make another payment?"

"Okay, okay, let's do this. Let Wang Cifu write this letter. If there are dates or no dates, hit three poles. The best one can be hit. If you can't hit, it's better to scare them."

"Just do it!"

Wan Shihe glanced at Zhang Juzheng. His Majesty has turned into what he is today, and he still says that it was not Zhang Juzheng who taught him?
  However, Wan Shihe did not raise any objections, because he knew that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends between countries, only eternal interests. How to maximize the interests in this grassland dispute is the only way for courtiers to do so. Something we should think about.

Wang Chonggu wrote the letter and quickly sent it outside the customs. It only took three days for the letter to be delivered to Fengzhou Tanbansheng City, a city on the right wing of the Tatars, and Chen Xuexue's letter was also delivered to the Kuku River. Tuncheng, this city was named Guihua City in the sixth year of Longqing, and was also called Sanniangzi City.

Sanniangzi and Anda Khan did not live together. Anda Khan lived in Bansheng and Sanniangzi lived in Guihua. The two cities were very close to each other, only about twenty miles apart.

After receiving the letter, Sanniangzi came to Bansheng City from Guihua City. She wanted to discuss the matter with Anda Khan.

"This is simply too much!" An Dahan slammed the letter in his hand on the table and said angrily: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has betrayed his trust and supported Tumen even though he has already reached a contract with us. How is this? The truth!"

A monk dressed as a lama waved his hands and said: "Don't be so impatient, Khan, and be confused by karma. Only by seeing the purpose of Ming Dynasty clearly can you deal with it properly."

The third lady disliked this lama very much. This lama claimed to be the one who knew everything. His name was Sonam Gyatso. He claimed to have the memory of the previous life. He knew it for five hundred years before and five hundred years after. Sonam Gyatso succeeded in bluffing him. He convinced Anda Khan and convinced Anda Khan to believe in Buddhism, mainly because of the trick he peddled, which was really deceptive.

The lama Sonam Gyatso peddled the theory of reincarnation, saying that Anda Khan was the reincarnation of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, and that he was the reincarnation of the holy king. Anda Khan was fascinated by the deeds of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. When he heard this reincarnation theory He was the reincarnation of Genghis Khan, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately. He welcomed Sonam Gyatso to Bansheng and treated him with great courtesy. He even gave Sonam Gyatso the title of 'Holy Consciousness All Wazildala Lama'.

Sanniangzi does not believe that there is anyone who can know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in hindsight. Even a great person like Zhang Juzheng is rare in the world who can see what will happen three years later. No one could fully understand the matter. This lama had such a loud voice that he would open and close his mouth for five hundred years.

But Anda Khan particularly believed that he was the reincarnation of Genghis Khan and had no doubts about Sonam Gyatso's words.

"What is the purpose of the Ming Dynasty?" Under Sonam Gyatso's persuasion, Anda Khan calmed down a little and then started to think. He frowned and asked: "Is the Ming Dynasty asking for war horses? I will give him the war horses. Is he coming to hit me? It’s just a dream!”

"No." Suonan Gyatso stopped holding the beads in his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "What the Ming Dynasty wants is for the left and right wings to continue to fight. If they continue to fight, the Haidongqing on the grassland will wander in the sky, waiting for them. Wild wolves and leopards fight to the death for their prey, then fall down and snatch it away.”

"What is the prey that the master is talking about?" An Dahan asked in surprise.

Sonam Gyatso said with certainty: "Hetao."

"The master is indeed a master." An Dahan finally understood the purpose behind the series of actions of the Ming Dynasty, which was the Loop lost during the Tianshun period. This was the fundamental purpose of the Ming Dynasty.

The third lady looked at Suonan Gyatso and said calmly: "Master, is there a possibility that Daming is not actually Haidongqing, but a greedy glutton? What he wants is not just prey, but even wild animals." Don’t you want to let the wolf and leopard go?”

"How can a glutton only want prey? It has a huge appetite."

Suonang Gyatso's face, which had a solemn appearance, twitched a few times visible to the naked eye. He put down the Buddhist beads in his hand. What Sanniangzi said was more in line with the current situation. Facts have also proved that Suonang Gyatso cannot see through the next five hundred years. years, or even the next five years cannot be clearly seen.

Daming's appetite is really huge.

　Sonam Gyatso's title is "Holy Consciousness All Wazir Dalai Lama". Yes, it is the Dalai Lama who used to appear in the news every day. The Dalai Lama of Sichuan and Tibet started from Sonam Gyatso. . Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
