I am the king of the dead

Chapter 400 Lu Dongbin and the Dog, Daming and Fanyi

Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial and leaned back on the chair.

This chair is a very special kind of soft strip rattan chair, which was specially made by a strip craftsman in Taiyuan Hospital.

The back is curved, the lumbar is supported by a bulge, and specifically the head is supported.

The shape is a bit strange, roughly equivalent to an ergonomic chair. The pursuit is to sit for a long time without getting tired, to reduce most of the weight of the human body borne by the lumbar spine, and to relieve back fatigue.

Supported by all steel, the bamboo craftsman used the best green bamboo silk. After making several chairs, Liubu and Wenyuan Pavilion were delivered.

You must know that the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty often sat on shifts from the fifth watch to the first day of the lanterns, and sometimes they had to work overtime when they had to do something.

Every day after get off work, I feel sore all over my body.

Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, passed the examination and was promoted to Jinshi, and then sat in the copybook for a long time, and when he arrived in the capital, he was basically around 50 years old.

At this age, I have to sit for such a long time, which shows that it is hard work.

Of course, Tai Hospital did this not only for the benefit of Ming officials. The soft rattan chair was taken out for experimentation, and several changes were made after feedback.

Tai Hospital finally completed the finalization of the final version, it was ready, and sent to Zhu Qiyu's imperial study.

Emperor Taizu Gao was so industrious back then, the world was uncertain and he fought everywhere. In his later years, he worked hard on the case, and finally suffered from injuries all over his body.

In order to thank the Emperor Ming for his support for medical research, Tai Hospital made this chair after repeated verification.

It is to make His Majesty less tiring in dealing with the files.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the rattan chair, he was very satisfied, and he didn't feel tired after sitting for a whole day.

He took a deep breath, and said with a little anger on his face: "Without my permission, how dare the Wala people go west?"

After Zhu Qiyu went south, he was actually worried that the Oirats and Tatars would unite and go south again.

Whether it's Jining, Hetao, or Xuanfu, Zhu Qiyu has enough backup to deal with it.

Just like before the attack on Jining, Fan Guang led the capital of Liaodong, Chen Bingguang Ningwei, to contain the Tatars.

However, during the process of his personal conquest, the north was extremely quiet, and several small-scale conflicts occurred, and they were still competing for the matter of going to the Xuanfu Mutual Market to sell horses.

"When the prey sees the hunter, if they don't run away, will they wait to die?"

"Your Majesty warned that the Tatar King's edict, which was not sympathetic to the power of the people, came to the grassland, and Tuotuobuhua sent a memorial, asking for the decree to hold the Tatar King's League, and please approve it." Xing'an put a memorial on the case.

Zhu Qiyu picked it up and looked at it for a long time, then put it down after Zhu criticized it.

"I slightly underestimated the influence of Ming Dynasty on the north." Zhu Qiyu said while knocking on the memorial on the table.

Xing'an smiled and said, "It's His Majesty's influence on the northern captives."

"Actually, no matter Tatars or Wuliangha people, they are not the people of Ming Dynasty, but the people of His Majesty."

The majesty of the unification of the four seas is the suzerain.

Zhu Qiyu, as the suzerain, is theoretically the king of all people.

For example, the Timurid Empire, which was far away in the Western Regions at this time, in addition to resuming the tribute to Ming Dynasty in the third year of Xuande, the Emperor Ming also wanted to canonize their king.

But they are not the people of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "They are not my subjects, even if they are, they are rebels, and they must be taught a lesson every year!"

"Afraid of power but not virtuous, when Da Ming's military power is strong, they are like sheep and dogs, begging Da Ming to do this and that."

Zhu Qiyu raised his hand, put it here, put it there, and said rather angrily: "When the strength of the Ming army declines, it will start to show its true colors! They will start to go south with their swords."

Zhu Qiyu has no interest in being a Heavenly Khan, he is down-to-earth, and he is the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Just as the loving father has always put the interests of Soviet Russia as the first priority, for example, Ukraine's repeated requests for the Crimea region have been firmly rejected by the loving father.

After Su Suizong came to power, he actually assigned Crimea to Ukraine!

Zhu Qiyu is the emperor of Daming, so he always takes care of Daming first.

That's why Zhu Qiyu let the merchant ships carry artillery and firecrackers, and turned the merchant ships into armed merchant ships, and let them do business with swords.

That's why Zhu Qiyu asked Xu Chengzong to invite the merchants to convey his wishes. The Ming land is not allowed to be stripped, but they can go overseas to strip it.

That's why Zhu Qiyu brought the abandoned people of the Great Ming Dynasty into the management scope of the Ming Dynasty, but he ignored people from overseas.

With the current level of productivity in Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to eliminate the surplus value of stripping, and Zhu Qiyu did not do useless work.

However, if you want to strip too much, go overseas.

If the Ming Dynasty strips you too much, you will suffer the emperor's iron fist, but if you go overseas to strip, the Emperor Ming will not object to it, and even encourage it.

This is Zhu Qiyu's attitude as the suzerain of the suzerain country.

Things are serious, people are far and near.

If something goes wrong, these barbarians will only take advantage of it.

Zhu Qiyu took out a memorial and put it on the table and said: "This is the "Twelve Points of Shangtaiping Governance" written by Lin Lang Guiyanliang, a scholar of the Renxu Division in the seventh year of Zhengtong, and a scholar of the Imperial Academy."

"Tai-ping-rule-necessary! Shit-fart-doesn't work!"

Xing'an didn't have to read every memorial. Since His Majesty said that every word was nonsense, he was obviously a little angry in his heart.

He took the memorial and said in a low voice: "The way to control the barbarians is to put defense first, followed by conquest, open border quarrels, and be greedy for small gains. This is the bottom line."

"The tribute of the barbarians is the system of Hongwu's ancestors. There are some unsatisfactory ones. Since the cultivation of literature and virtue, send envoys to explain it. He will be afraid of power and virtue, and he will be subdued. Why work hard to fight far away!"

"The way of restraint is to obey and forgive him. Don't be too strong and poor to plunder too deeply."

Xing'an stared blankly at the memorial, it was indeed nonsense.

The meaning of this Gui Yanliang is very simple, that is, to control the barbarians, defense should be the first priority, and conquest should be the second. If Daming is good at provoking frontier quarrels, it is greedy for small gains and inferior methods.

The tribute of the barbarians is the ancestral system. If there is any disrespect, one should cultivate literature and morality, and issue a reprimand. These small barbarian countries are bound to be afraid of power and virtue, and there is no disobedience. Why should they work hard and attack them?
"What's wrong with me being greedy for small profits? The court has no money and no food, so they go begging along the street!" Zhu Qiyu said angrily, flicking his sleeves.

Zhu Qiyu pointed at the table and said: "He is opposing my use of troops against the Zhoushan Japanese pirates, using Emperor Taizu Gao's Huairou Yuanren ancestral system, and using the ancestral law to suppress me! The meaning is obvious, saying that I don't respect the ancestral law. "

The subtext is nothing more than pointing to the king of subjugation, the king of subjugation who is greedy for small profits!

A Ming emperor like Zhu Qiyu, who is like a single husband, doesn't care about softness and distant people. Doesn't it conform to the etiquette?
The answer is yes.

Taizu established the ancestral system and cherished the soft and distant people, so as to achieve the goal of serving the four barbarians and bringing all nations to court.

This was indeed achieved, and this system reached its peak during the Yongle period!

But after that?
Whether it is the Japanese pirates entrenched on Jiming Island or the Japanese pirates in Zhoushan, the king's son of Joseon refused to kneel down to pay respects, and the Manjaboyi Kingdom annexed the old Hong Kong Xuanweisi.

If Zhu Qiyu is still immersed in the big dream of the suzerain Khan, he will eventually lose the sea. How can we talk about the pinnacle of China's sea power?

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "Take this memorial and go tell him a story about Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf, Lu Dongbin and the dog, the farmer and the snake, and the story of Daming and Fanyi!"

Xing'an is a bit confused. Mr. Dongguo and the wolf can be said to be the allusion of Zixi Zhongshan wolf.

Lu Dongbin and the dog naturally don't know good people.

As for the farmer and the snake, it was a story from the Arabian Nights, and Xing'an knew it.

But where did the story of Daming and Fanyi begin?

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said: "During the Hongwu period, Zhancheng, Annan, Suoli, Java, Hanni, Sanfoqi, Siam Dendrobium, and Chenla were newly attached to the country during the Hongwu period, and they were unable to build ships. Emperor Taizu Gao sent They hired Ming craftsmen to help them build ships."

"During the Yongle period, Mangawai Mansion, Sumatra Official Factory, Chadi Port Branch Office, and Guli Official Factory were built to help Yidi people build ships and pay tribute to develop people's livelihood."

"To show the prestige of China, the way is to use the law of kingship."

"Did Ming treat them badly? Promoting etiquette, promoting enlightenment, setting court guidelines, helping them sort out domestic and foreign affairs, and helping them change from savages to people."

"How did they repay Daming?"

"Human face and animal heart!"

"This story must be told! You go to the Hanlin Academy to tell it, and let the Hanlin of the Imperial Academy explain to me, this way of confinement, the way of cultivating literature and morality after obeying and pardoning, what exactly have you got?"

"In exchange for a group of white-eyed wolves who can't get enough to eat!!"

It was only then that Xing'an knew that under the tribute system, there was still the merit of teaching, and he knew that Daming had built so many factories overseas to help Fan Guo.

Knowing how the story was told, Xing'an bowed his head and said, "I understand, let's go to the Imperial Academy."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "The emperor's uncle is me, with me, without me, and it must occupy the headlines. These stories should be placed on the second edition, so that everyone can see, this is the way since the cultivation of literature and virtue, what should I do? A law fix!"

"A bunch of fools."

Xing'an thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhoushan naval battle is imminent. Do you want to put this story of Ming and Fanyi on the headlines?"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "What about the front page of Uncle Huang?"

"That can only be moved to the second edition." Xing'an said helplessly, after all, the Zhoushan naval battle was a major event.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "Then move to the second edition."

The headlines of Zhu Zhanqian, the emperor's uncle, were eventually robbed by His Majesty's story.

Xing'an took orders and went to the Hanlin Academy. Under the summoning of Wu Jing, who was in charge of the academy, Xing'an told the story told by His Majesty.

Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf, Lu Dongbin and the Dog, the Farmer and the Snake, and Daming and Fanyi.

Xing'an said to Wu Jing: "Your Majesty said, let the Wenlin Langs of the Imperial Academy combine these four stories to explain how to cultivate literature and virtue since then."

"Especially the recent Japanese envoys robbing the people's property, injuring officials of the Ming Dynasty, and disobeying the law of the Ming Dynasty."

"Explain clearly how to cultivate culture and virtue, so that these barbarians who are afraid of power but not virtuous will not bite Daming back!"

Wu Jing sighed and said, "Da Dang, how can this be explained clearly? It has already happened."

"It is clear that morality is to the essence and unity, but it is not separated from things."

Xing'an said with a smile: "Our family is only responsible for promulgating the edict, and we have no control over other matters."

"Shouldn't Lin Lang speak the truth better than us eunuchs?"

Xing'an left the Imperial Academy with his people, and then went to Huimin Pharmacy.

The Tai Hospital is divided into two. The one next to Mi Lane in the eastern suburb is the Jiejie Hospital, where no one can be seen, but on the other side is the Huimin Pharmacy, which is full of people coming and going.

Xing'an entered through the side door of Huimin Pharmacy and left after inspecting for a long time.

He is an envoy of flowers and birds, and he also met Ran Siniang before communicating with Lu Zi. His Majesty liked the soft bamboo and wicker chairs presented by the Tai Hospital very much, and expressed his high praise.

Xing'an also focused on chatting with Lu Zicai about Ran Siniang. He wanted to let Ran Siniang and His Majesty meet more often, so that the Imperial Hospital could cooperate more.

Lu Zicai expressed his full cooperation.

At this time, Ran Siniang was in the hospital, and she had gradually adapted to understand Ran Siniang in the hospital. She showed her professionalism and worked hard to learn many new medical skills.

When Xing'an left, he took a few pieces of reading glasses with him. Naturally, these reading glasses are also the latest achievement of Tai Hospital.

Reading glasses were not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty. Marco Polo once said in his travel notes: Chinese old people always wear glasses when they read small print.

Hu Wei is getting old, and his eyes can no longer see clearly. His reading glasses are tied behind his head with silk.

When Hu Yan was at his own home, he was better, but when he arrived at the Yamen, he was a little out of character.

After all, there is a corrector in the main hall.

This presbyopic reading glasses is from the Tai Hospital, and has been comprehensively improved, such as adding a pine wood frame and fixing it on the ear, which is very convenient.

When Xing'an returned to the lecture hall, His Majesty was playing war games with Shi Heng, and the battle had reached its final moment.

Zhoushan naval battle.

His Majesty fought a great battle with the Ming army and the Zhoushan Japanese pirates, but within thirty rounds, Shi Heng was directly defeated.

The Ming army is fierce and brave, how can the Zhoushan Japanese pirates be their opponents?
Xing'an sighed, he was no longer needed, His Majesty had already learned to win by himself.

Zhu Qiyu put down the flag in his hand, and said with emotion: "After the Zhoushan naval battle, we will form a navy, but the commander of the navy has not yet been determined."

Shi Heng was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said, "There's nothing to be sure about, then...it's really hard to be sure!"

After Shi Heng finished speaking, he immediately stopped his words, and a cold sweat broke out from his body. He was already the commander-in-chief of the Daming [-]th Regiment Battalion.

Although he marched and fought with the Siwu Regiment Battalion on weekdays, in name, whether it was Yang Jun, Sun Tong, Liu An and others, they were all his subordinates!
If he meddles in the navy affairs again, will it make His Majesty sleepless?
Shi Heng was halfway through speaking, and just pulled his mind away from the Bingpu chessboard, and immediately realized that he almost bit the bait that His Majesty randomly dropped!

Great!
Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously: "Marquis Wuqing, is there any officer in the navy who can recommend you?"

Shi Heng said with a smile: "Chen Datong's mansion, the general immediately, and a landlubber, how can there be any recommendation from the waves? Your Majesty has a discerning eye, and naturally he has found a talent."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, picked up a thick inscribed book and said: "There are quite a few talents here, and they are all recorded in the record. This book is about the navy."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The first one is Tao Jin, the current commander of the navy, who has made great achievements in the battle of the capital."

"The second is Uncle Pingjiang Chen Yu. He is the one who formed the Yuegang Cao Cao Army in the Yuegang Xuanwei Division. He is also in Nanya now. The third is the governor Ma Yun."

Fandu commanded Ma Yun, neither the Liaodong fierce general Ma Yun who set up Liaodong at the founding of the Ming Dynasty and beat Naha like a grandson, nor the Ma Yun who engaged in subprime mortgages in later generations.

Instead, Fandu commanded Ma Yun.

Ma Yun in the orthodox years, who is he?
