Chapter 37 Drought and Flood
In the autumn of the first year of Wanli, Magui was stationed on Kuwu Island, deterring the Jurchens in the north and Japan in the south, and sent a fleet to Wangxiazhou; Ma Jin arrived in Wangxiazhou, set up a key village, married more than 1,700 people from the four Jurchen divisions of Beishan, and gave them the method of building houses and trapping hunts, so as to prepare for the Ming people to expand eastward through the Beihai Strait.
Chen Bazhi was trapped in Iwami Province, sent people to contact the king of Kyoto was discovered, and angered Oda Nobunaga, who was supporting the king, and sent a message that the Niko family attacked Ishimi, so that although the alliance between the Ming army and the Niko family did not turn its face and tended to break down, but successfully contacted Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was exiled by Nobunaga, so as to send a letter of state to the Ming Dynasty and form the exile shogunate.
However, even with Chen Mu's earlier message to the cabinet, the imperial court was still not interested in sending troops to Japan, although Kedao advocated for this matter and recommended Li Chengliang as the chief military officer, but the situation did not allow Li Chengliang to leave Liaodong.
In this year, the Jurchen Wang Gao of Jianzhou invaded the border, and the war in eastern Liaodong was rekindled.
Chen Mu, the minister of Nanyang, reported that a paper treaty was sent to Beijing, and the Malacca and Lion countries were collected.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shizhen has been living in Beijing for more than half a year.
In the early winter, there was no snow in Beijing this year, and after drinking, he led his horse to stroll through the long street where people came and went, looking at the red lanterns hanging out of every house, Zhao Shizhen only felt lonely.
At first, he lived in Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and it was still summer, so that Zhang Ge could answer his doubts in time when he was reading the Tao Te Ching.
As time goes by, the Tao Te Ching is almost the same, and there is no use for him in the house, and there are a lot of secrets in the house, but Zhang Juzheng does not let him go back to Nanyang for the time being, because when he enters the East Palace to teach the emperor, he also needs to be a companion to answer questions.
The Shoufu Mansion did not stay for a long time, not to mention that he was not free enough to do anything, so he asked Zhang Juzheng to move to Chen Mu's mansion in Jingshi.
Strange to say, for many years, Zhao Shizhen has always regarded Jingshi as a writer, his grandfather once worked in Dali Temple, and later studied in Taixue, so he is as familiar with the capital as his hometown.
But in the Forbidden City for a few years, I feel that Nanyang is like home, there is something to do every day, and he is really not used to this kind of idle life when he arrives in Beijing.
Without Chen Shuai's casual bullying, there is only a lot more joy, after all, the hot people in the Nanyang Military Mansion don't know how much more to talk about at the banquet than others.
But after the guest and host were contaminated with rouge, they relied on the lion outside the gate of the mansion to ward off evil beasts, but the grievances of unwillingness came to their hearts.
This grievance is not only for himself.
He had seen Chen Muduo's majesty overseas, but when he returned to Beijing for more than half a year, he finally figured out what the officials of the DPRK and China thought about overseas and the Nanyang Military Government.
"Yo, why did Chang Ji sleep with a stone lion?"
Zhao Shizhen, who was dozing off on the side of the stone lion in a daze, was awakened by the words beside him, and his whole body was frozen enough, and he looked at You Qi in Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and said busily: "Why is Brother You here, if there is something in the house, send someone to summon it." ”
"Subpoena? Hey! ”
You Qi was happy when he heard this, looked back at Chen Mu's mansion, and said with a smile: "Let's wait inside for an hour, when we came, we were invited into the door by the old servant, and said that the old brother, you go out to socialize and drink, the master is not in a hurry, just wait here, how can you sleep with a lion outside!" Isn't it cold? ”
You Qi smiled and asked the old servants left behind in the mansion to get a big piece for Zhao Shizhen, raised his hand and said, "Let's go, the master is invited, go to the mansion to teach you warm hangover soup for your brother...... Ooh! Don't change this rouge smell, put on your robe and go to the house first. ”
The first assistant housekeeper smiled, but didn't say anything, Zhao Shizhen is a serious talent, saying that it is for the emperor to do a companion reading is actually a calligraphy teaching, answering questions and solving doubts, not to mention, just the calligraphy that Xiao Wanli likes very much, if he is not out of the Nanyang Military Mansion, the emperor will let Zhang Juzheng find an eight-grade official for him on the Jingshi Science Road.
Not to mention relying on the God of Wealth in Nanyang, what does he want in life that cannot be satisfied?
Zhao Shizhen, who was dizzy, sat in the carriage of the first assistant mansion and swayed all the way to Zhang Juzheng's mansion, only to understand what it was like to be summoned by the first assistant.
There was a disaster.
"Shanxi Yingzhou, Shuozhou, Shanyin, Mayi, Datong County and Andong, Zhongtun, Shanyin, Yinhe, Gaoshan and other Wei, drought."
"After the drought in Lusi and other places under the jurisdiction of Lianghuai in the east of Gaoyou Prefecture in Nanzhili, there were violent storms and rains, rivers and seas overflowed, more than 10,000 houses collapsed, countless livestock were drowned, more than 1,600 residents were drowned, and the warehouses and salt farms were drifting away."
"Heavy rain in Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places was a disaster, and the tsunami overflowed."
Zhang Juzheng's house scribe believed the book, and Zhang Juzheng asked Zhao Shizhen: "Chen Shuai mentioned in the letter that he had disaster relief silver, but he didn't say the amount, did he really have it?" If this money is used, will it have an impact on the expenditure of the Nanyang Military Government? ”
The cool breeze on the road had already blown Zhao Shizhen awake most of the time, but the hangover soup that You Qi called someone to Wen was not very useful, Zhao Shizhen gasped when he heard the fierce disaster, and said cautiously: "Chen Shuai does have two silver for disaster relief, 200,000 taels of silver a year, and now there should be no less than 400,000 taels, and the elder of the pavilion will send a letter, and the ship will be able to transport the silver taels in April of the next year at the latest." ”
It was Zhang Juzheng's turn to be blind, he raised his hand to let the scribe of the house go out, closed the window again, stirred up the indoor brazier and got up and asked Zhao Shizhen: "Chen Shuai loses one million taels of silver to the household department a year, and the Nanyang Military Government can still retain 200,000 taels of huge funds for disaster relief, and Nanyang's military salary is enough?" ”
Zhao Shizhen took it for granted, and asked rhetorically: "Pavilion Elder, the banner army doesn't need to be a soldier, they have military land, not to mention that the two Chen Shuai's headquarters have just more than 10,000 troops, and the rewards for war achievements are not much to spend, and the Nanyang Military Mansion is a net profit." ”
The Governor's Mansion of the Six Armies in the World, Zhang Ju is like a few treasures, but he can't remember the number of soldiers in the Nanyang Military Mansion no matter what, and every time he doesn't pay attention, he makes a mistake.
When it comes to Chen Mu's troops, you always have to convert the tributary country and the headquarters in your mind to get an approximate number.
"That's good, the servant sent a letter to ask Chen Shuai to transfer the disaster silver to the household department, and first use the silver sent by the Nanyang Military Government to the household department this year to provide disaster relief.
Zhao Shizhen arched his hand, and the irritability in his heart was even stronger.
The Nanyang Military Mansion doesn't seem to have much to do with the entire Ming Dynasty, especially in Beijing, where people don't care about what happened on the other side of the sea, and the imperial court is close to ignoring Chen Mu.
Although this is indeed a good thing, Zhao Shizhen does not want to see such a scene, people are busy with affairs, they don't know much about overseas, and even when drinking with officials, he heard people laugh that he always thought that the overseas Nanyang military government was fake, and he casually found some savages and sent them to Beijing to become kings, and those so-called vassal countries actually did not exist - just like the world still seems to have only two capitals and thirteen provinces and the north.
He felt that he should write a letter to Chen Mu, and in a year or two, transfer the officials who had done a good job in the Nanyang Military Government back to China, and then transfer a new batch of officials to the past, so as to cultivate a group of officials in the court who have a sufficient understanding of the Nanyang Military Government, Nanyang, and overseas affairs.
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said to Zhao Shizhen: "There are rivers in the two Huai disaster relief, Changji, Shanxi disaster relief, you go!" ”
