Domineering Daming

After a while, Cao Huachun said from outside the curtain: "Your Majesty, there have been many activities in Anda Mountain recently. Some people inside and outside the court have been found to have accepted bribes and betrayed information to him. But the impact is not big. Jin Yiwei asked for instructions on whether to clear it."

Zhu Xu looked as usual, and said: "No, let them, let Jin Yiwei watch. En... Pass the decree to Chahar: King Shunping is loyal and filial, and Wei Bian has meritorious service. Give python clothes, [-] silver, and go to Beijing immediately Miansheng, accept the reward."

Cao Huachun outside was stunned for a while, then said, "Observe the order."

Zhang Yun blinked, looked at Zhu Xu's face, and asked in doubt: "The emperor...isn't he going to attack Chahar? If so, will that King Shunping come?"

Zhu Xu looked at her, reached out to touch her pretty face, and said, "There is always an excuse to start a war, and this is an excuse."

Zhang Yun was extremely intelligent, so he immediately understood, and said with a pretty face, "I understand, the emperor is sure that King Shunping would not dare to come, and he just used this as an excuse to attack."

Zhu Xu smiled without saying a word.Looking out the window, he hoped that Lin Danhan would come boldly, and he would hang his head on the flagpole without hesitation.

But with his bad reputation of "accustomed to killing envoys", Lin Danhan should 100% not enter Beijing.

pity.

Zhu Xu sighed secretly, and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Anda Shan was also on his way back to Beijing at this time, sitting in the carriage, restless like ants on a hot pot.

I have to admit that Chahar is afraid of Jiannu, even though Jiannu is no longer what it used to be, but when he heard that Dorgon had led his troops to the north, Andashan was still frightened and terrified.

There are two personal guards on his left and right, one of them said: "Taiji, this matter must be notified to Da Khan as soon as possible. The Ming people also have sharp artillery, but the artillery is heavy and difficult to move in the desert. Our biggest threat is still the slaves." cavalry!"

The other also said: "Taiji, if the slave cavalry is equipped with artillery, I'm afraid we will lose."

Anda Shan glanced at the two of them, and said nothing with a sullen face.

Except for the few people who are counted, no one knows the real situation of Chahar better than him.Due to Daming's deliberate blockade and constant provocations, Chahar seems to be constantly growing, but in fact his real combat power has not increased much. It is already the limit to gather 2 capable fighters!If we exclude wounded soldiers, serious illnesses and the like, there are probably only [-] people!

2 people, how to deal with the more than [-] allied forces of Ming Dynasty!

At this time, Andashan also complained about Lin Danhan, he was too eager and didn't know how to hide his strength and bide his time, which aroused Daming's fear so early and determined to attack him.If it can be stabilized for another three to five years, Daming's national strength is weak, and Chahar recovers, one will ebb and flow, so why be afraid of Daming!

"I hope the national teacher has a way."

After a while, Anda Shan still didn't speak, and sighed softly in his heart.

Andashan was worried, and the two kings of North Korea were even more troubled, and it was difficult to make a decision.

They knew the situation of Daming very well. Since ten years ago, Daming has been helping North Korea. It can be said that it has tried its best, not to mention defending North Korea in the early days. The three wars with Japan fully demonstrated Daming's determination to protect North Korea.

But now Daming's country is full of natural disasters, the treasury is empty, and it needs to disarm to save money. They also understand the huge plans of the Ming Dynasty Ministry of War and the cabinet. In the end, they can't blame Daming for withdrawing at this time.

But it is about the continuation of North Korea's state, and they are unwilling, let alone let the [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Pyongyang leave.

They need to urgently discuss with the country, and decide what to do before the Ming cabinet's disarmament plan is finalized!

They are still on the road, one by one homing pigeons will fly to Shanhaiguan, and then they will turn to North Korea at one post station.

Bi Ziyan and other cabinet ministers returned to the capital and the cabinet earlier than Zhu Xu.

In Bi Ziyan's classroom, he looked at the notebook Zheng Youyuan handed over with a solemn expression.

Zheng Youyuan looked at Bi Ziyan with a calm expression, and said: "My lord, this is a handwritten copy. It was originally in the Supervisor of Rituals. Presumably the emperor will see Jianbao soon. I don't know if this matter will make him angry."

Bi Ziyan didn't speak, just quietly looked at the memorial.

The content of this playbook is about the firearms that were just performed, that is, artillery.It is said in the memorial that "the success or failure of the battlefield lies in the hearts of the people, not in the sharp weapons. The firearms are so big that they hurt the peace of heaven and are not done by saints." , screaming and dying, how can you be virtuous?"

Thousands of words were eloquent, and the general meaning is that the artillery developed by the Military Weapons Bureau is too powerful and harmful to the world. It should not exist in the world. It is requested to be banned, and it will never be opened and used again.

Of course, they didn't talk like this, and they also cited a few examples.

If these cannons fall into the hands of rebels or hostile countries, how will Ming resist them?If the rebels used this to attack the capital, what would happen to the palace?

Therefore, before it leaks out, please ask the court to ban it, burn the blueprints, arrest the craftsmen, and avoid future troubles forever!

Bi Ziyan looked at the playbook, read it twice over and over again, his face changed a few times, and he never opened his mouth.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong walked in with the same manuscript, looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Have you read it?"

Bi Ziyan put down the memorandum, sighed, and said: "The six ministers did not express their views, but a few servants agreed very much and wrote the side melody."

Zheng Youyuan moved a stool for Sun Chengzong, and quietly retreated out.

Sun Chengzong also put down the notebook, looked at Bi Ziyan, pondered, and rarely spoke.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong met their eyes, and then remained silent.

Both of them are scholars, Jinshi background, and now they are full of poetry and books, full of talent, if they have not entered the officialdom, they must be a great Confucian, everyone.

Bi Ziyan is a thorough literati, and from the bottom of his heart, he agrees with this memorial.The cannon power displayed by Da Yanwu was too terrifying, he didn't feel it before, but now it was a little scary, which made him feel dangerous and worried.

Although Sun Chengzong is a civil servant, he has also led the army for many years. Although he knows the importance of weapons, the cannons in the martial arts show today made him palpitate, and at the same time he was still worried. This has been the case in just a few years. If it continues to develop...

Just thinking about it makes me shudder!

After a while, Sun Chengzong said: "The emperor is determined to develop firearms, and believes that it will be a decisive weapon in future wars."

Bi Ziyan raised his head and glanced at Sun Chengzong, with a calm expression and no words.He understood what Sun Chengzong meant, so he didn't speak.

Confucianism governs the world with "benevolence and virtue". Anyone who does not conform to the word "benevolence and virtue" will be rejected as much as possible, denounced as "evil ways" and not "righteous", and then they will be exterminated.

But the current situation is that His Majesty the current emperor is extremely keen on "uncanny skills and obscenity", and they are completely powerless to oppose it, even simple restrictions will not work.Especially on some major military affairs, because of his point of view, his ideas can often be confirmed later to be correct, and they are even less emboldened.

You know, the current one—never missed it!

Not once!

Facing such a bright and talented emperor, it was quite difficult for their courtiers.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and the others often feel rejoicing in their hearts. Although this person is so powerful today that he can't hear the slightest voice, he is not Taizu or Chengzu. The etiquette that a close minister should have has never been lacking.

After another long while, Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said, "The cabinet will not express its position on this matter."

"No statement" is not a statement.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan and reminded: "You know the emperor's character, if you don't express your opinion, it means you are against it, the emperor... has a book in his heart."

When the current emperor is magnanimous, it is shocking. He waved his hand at many things that they considered to be "disobedience" and did not take it to heart at all.But in their opinion, they are extraordinarily "careful" about some trivial things that are not worth paying attention to, and they often settle accounts after the fall.

Sun Chengzong didn't speak clearly. He had already vaguely felt that the Qianqing Palace was dissatisfied with this "Bi Shoufu", and it could not be said to be dissatisfied. It should be a kind of "question" about his ability. When the time and opportunity are right, Bi Ziyan will "suddenly" retire, and he won't be surprised when he resigns from his old age and returns home.

Why doesn't Bi Ziyan know, but there are some things that he should persist in and he will persist to the end without hesitation. He could only appreciate Sun Chengzong's kindness, waved his hand, and said: "Now is not the time to talk about these things, rest for half a day." Time, let's continue the meeting, and we must reach the framework of this year's 'New Deal' as soon as possible, lest people's hearts will fluctuate and turn towards Qin Muchu."

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong didn't say much. Looking at Bi Ziyan, he hesitated to speak, and finally left.
