Qiming 1158

Chapter 1192 Call Daming Dad?

This practice of Shen Kai is not only an order from the Lin'an court to Sichuan and Shu, but also a test.

Shen Gai wanted to know if Emperor Tiangao was far away, whether Chuanshu could still obey the Lin'an court.

If the terrain of Sichuan and Shu is closed and self-defense, the current Lin'an court has nothing to do, so Shen Kai is really a little worried.

And more importantly, after this round of ceding land by the Ming Kingdom, the land of Chuanshu has become the de facto half of the Jiangnan Kingdom. If the control of the land of Chuanshu is lost, the Jiangnan Kingdom will simply be renamed the Southeast Kingdom.

Or it can barely be called Soochow.

Shen Kai had a faint ominous feeling in his heart.

In December of the fifth year of Hongwu, this ominous premonition came true.

The news came back from Sichuan and Shu, in the name of Wu Lin, the envoy of Sichuan's propaganda and envoy, angrily scolded Shen Gai for bringing disaster to the country and the people, betraying the Song Dynasty and the royal family.

Chuan Shuning is broken for the jade, not for the whole, and will never succumb to the lackeys of the Ming Kingdom and Lin'an, and it is impossible to help and harm the royal family. Protecting the royal family is the duty of a loyal minister. It is wishful thinking to sink a country thief in this area and even want to kill the royal family. !

In his reply, Wu Lin directly called Shen Gai and his government the lackeys of Lin'an, and directly ridiculed him, saying that he did not have enough power now.

Not only that, he also said that he would establish a new ruler to fight against the Lin'an puppet dynasty and maintain the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Dude, how did things get to this point?

Wu Lin actually wanted to set up a new emperor to fight against the Lin'an court?
This matter was quickly known to the highest decision-making circle.

Zhou Linzhi, Zhang Shi and others gathered together to discuss for a long time, and they came to the conclusion that they really had no way to do anything about Sichuan and Shu. The Lin'an court itself could not do it anyway.

Just one Wu Lin is enough for them to drink a pot.

Wu Lin himself was the first military general of the Southern Song Dynasty in the post-Yuefei era. With the passage of time, the anti-gold generals in the Shaoxing period died one after another. After Li Xianzhong died in the battle, there was no more famous general in the Lin'an court. , and where is the opponent of Wu Lin, who has made great military achievements?

If it is left unchecked and Wu Lin is allowed to set up a new ruler to oppose the Lin'an court, it will only greatly reduce the actual power of the Lin'an court and seriously damage its own interests.

After thinking about it, the Lin'an court had only one solution—calling Dad Ming.

But in this kind of matter, Shen Kai was reluctant to let Ming Guo intervene.

Because to put it bluntly, this is the matter of the Jiangnan Kingdom. If it is resolved by itself, then Chuanshu can still be used by the Lin'an court, but if it is handled with the help of the Ming Kingdom, how much will Chuanshu's interests be divided after the deal is finished? It's hard to say.

The profits of Shu brocade are very large. Shen Kai hopes to keep the profits in the hands of the imperial court. In this case, the imperial court can still have some money to do business. Turned over hopelessly.

So Shen Kai proposed the Huairou method of warfare.

That is, give Wu Lin a generous reward, give him a high position, a title, give him great honor, give him a generous reward, and give his family a generous reward, and then ask Wu Lin to send some tribute in the name of Zhao Dun. See how it works.

He hoped that Wu Lin could feel the "warmth" of the Lin'an court.

After another round of fights, Shen Gai realized gloomily that this method was not feasible, and Wu Lin did not take this set at all.

Wu Lin refused to accept the canonization of the Lin'an court in the name of Zhao Dun, and all the rewards were returned. He also burned the edict sent by Zhao Dun, stating that "this edict must be a state thief. It must not be believed." .

Then Wu Lin spoke again, saying that Shen should betray the Lord, betray the Great Song Dynasty, and kill the royal family. Sooner or later, he will die without a place to be buried. The gravedigger.

This can be regarded as infuriating Shen Gai.

Shen Gai was furious, but the remaining sense of reason still did not let him tell Ming Guo about this matter. He still held the last ray of hope that the problem could be solved, and wanted to mediate again and let Wu Lin obey the order.

He said that as long as Wu Lin returned to the Lin'an court, he could be a prime minister, a king, and a top official. If you want to arrange whoever you want to be an official, just open your mouth, and the Lin'an court will make every effort to help him accomplish this goal.

However, Wu Lin still didn't care at all, and didn't have the slightest interest in Shen Gai's efforts to win over.

Shen Gai finally broke the defense, so he repeatedly denounced Wu Lin for his infidelity and injustice in the name of Zhao Dun, and expressed that he would dismiss Wu Lin from his position as the envoy to Sichuan, convict him, and put him in prison. To ask the guilt, the people of Sichuan and Shu must fight hard to eradicate the traitors.

However, in March of the sixth year of Hongwu, the situation escalated.

Shen Gai got the exact news that Sichuan officials headed by Wu Lin, the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, and Ma Yongkang, the envoy of Zizhou Road, believed that the Lin'an court was already a lackey court, a court that could not be trusted at all, and the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty had ceased to exist. Existence, in order to survive the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty and be loyal to the royal family, Wu Lin and Ma Yongkang decided to support a new king.

In the later period of Zhao Gou's reign, members of the royal family were allowed to serve as local officials to reduce the royal family's need for government spending, hoping that they would make a living and make money by their own skills, instead of always relying on the court's salary to eat.

Although a large number of clan children still hope to lie down and eat without moving, there are still a considerable number of clan children who are self-reliant and self-reliant and successfully become officials through the imperial examination.

These clan children were arranged to serve as officials in various places, which caused a lot of trouble for Shen Kai to deal with them. Despite this, Shen Kai also dealt with almost all the Zhao Song clan children who were officials in the southeast region, and the harvest was very great.

Most of the local officials chose to obey. They were under the deterrence of the Ming military force and could not resist. They could only assist the Lin'an court to deal with the clan officials.

There were also a small number of people who tried to secretly help the clan to escape, hide them, etc., but they still failed to escape.

So the rest is hard-hearted.

As for other places, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Jinghu area, it was handled by the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and the only thing left that could not be handled was the land of Sichuan and Shu. There should be no way.

There are not many children of the clan who are officials in Sichuan and Shu, and there are very few senior officials. The main reason is that it is generally difficult for the clan of the Southern Song Dynasty to be a senior official. Do the officials of the foreign dynasties always repel him instinctively, even though they also passed the imperial examinations. Road officials.

Under such circumstances, if you can still achieve a higher position, it can only be said that your own skills are enough.

For example, Wu Lin and Ma Yongkang's fancy candidate-the Kuizhou Road transit judge, Zhao Buxiu, a 46-year-old son of Zhao Song's clan.
