Ryukyu, Shurijo Castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info pirates, and the Ryukyu where the warm current passes is much warmer than the mainland. Although it was the end of December, it didn't feel cold.

In the palace, when he heard that Japan had increased its troops on Amami Oshima, Shangxian was both angry and afraid.

Angry that the Japanese set foot on the territory of the Ryukyu Kingdom with their soldiers and horses, it was a shame. I also feared that the tragedy of more than 30 years ago would strike again, and that time, the Ryukyu Kingdom could still survive and survive. This time, what can be the result?

The only consolation was that the Second Fleet was stationed in the Ryukyus, and the Ming envoys arrived here, giving him hope for a solution to the scourge of national destruction.

Now, when he heard Wang Fuzhi say that there was a way to solve the Satsuma and Ryukyu problems, Shang Xian was even more surprised, and asked again and again: "Please also ask the angel for advice, I am up and down the Ryukyus, serving the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, respectfully and politely, and implore the adults to save hundreds of thousands of people in the Ryukyus from fire and water." ”

As he spoke, Shang Hyun spoke earnestly, and even choked up at one point about the tragic situation of Shuri Castle when the Japanese invaded.

Although some people in later generations found the orders of the Japanese generals in the text, they believed that after the Japanese army entered Shuri Castle, they obeyed the law and did not commit any evil deeds. But in fact, the soldiers of this year are not the next generation, and military discipline is guaranteed. For foreign soldiers, they fought hard to enter Shuri Castle, but they didn't really punish the Sho clan for not returning the salute after being rescued by the Japanese (this was a verbal declaration of the Japanese invasion of the Ryukyus).

For most poor Japanese soldiers, making war money may be the only time in their lives when they can change their fate. Grab a sum to make a profit, cool once. There may be military orders, but what is the point of plundering the Ryukyuan? Who cares.

In addition, the story of Zheng Ji entering the oil pot is even more memorable to the Ryukyuan people, and they always remember such a shame.

It seemed that he also thought of the one he was thrown into the oil pot in order to pay tribute to the dignity of the Shang family, and as Shang Xian spoke, he couldn't help but moisten his eyes, and he choked up so much that he couldn't continue.

"Your Highness, Your Highness. Why bother, why bother. Don't forget, the Ryukyu Kingdom is now a member of our Chinese Alliance. Even if the Nasatsuma clan had the courage to invade the Ryukyus, they would never dare to invade the Ryukyus. Even if there is, it is the enemy of my Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ryukyus declare war, I, the Ming Dynasty, will also declare war on Japan. Besides, the Second Fleet is stationed in the Ryukyus, and even if Yoshio Nishikawa dares to act recklessly, he will definitely regret coming to this world! Seeing that Shang Xian was so frightened, Wang Fuzhi was appeased again and again.

This is not a random promise. This is the covenant of the Chinese Alliance, and it is a matter of gambling on the credibility of the Ming Dynasty. How can it chill the hearts of allies?

"If that's the case, then it's the best, that's the best." Shang Xian muttered a few words, but stopped talking.

Obviously, Sang-hyun didn't feel at ease in this way.

If Japan annexes Korea, it will not only lose face to the Ming Dynasty, but also threaten the national defense security of the northeast of the Ming Dynasty.

But this is not the case with the Ryukyus, which is a sparsely populated island nation. Although in the maritime age, everyone knows the significance of this island nation. But in the eyes of the Ming people, they only felt that the Ryukyu Kingdom was a remote and meaningless place. The invasion of the vassal state is certainly a slap in the face, but under the threat of internal and external troubles, few people can really take care of it.

So, North Korea was saved by the Ming Dynasty. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Chinese Alliance guaranteed Li Qianzong's throne, and Li Qianzong believed it.

But whether the covenant of the Chinese Alliance can stop the red eyes of the Japanese is not far away, and it is no wonder that Shang Xian hesitated and questioned.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I should be quite sure of this method. When I come back, I want His Highness to know. I am not such a perfidious nation. In this Ryukyu matter, His Majesty has already decreed that the country will start acting, and Weichen is in Japan, so he naturally began to think of a way. As long as the court agrees, the minister can act. Wang Fuzhi patiently continued.

"Dare to ask...... What is the solution? In fact, Xiao Wang has also thought about it many times, but there has been no result. "People are swords, I am fish and meat, and as fish and meat, the Ryukyu Kingdom can resist, but there is little hope of reversing fate. That is, the translation of the Ming Dynasty's war against the Qing Dynasty was an opportunity for Shangxian to see, so the Hongyi cannon offered by the English could make him tempted. However, when it comes to firearms, the Japanese also have them.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses who arrived on Amami Oshima this time were estimated to be impossible by the iron artillery team, but more than half of them had iron cannons, that is, thousands of muskets.

Therefore, against the Satsuma Domain alone and against the Japanese state, Shangxian had no confidence.

For Shang Xian's resentment, Wang Fuzhi can understand it very well and feel very lucky.

He did not live in an era where he was not humiliated, but in a country that he fought in my generation and was not humiliated. The Ryukyus are small countries, and like Korea, they are small countries that cannot control their own destiny.

The Ming Dynasty is different, this is a big country, a strong country.

As a great and powerful country, the Ming Dynasty had countless ways to solve the problems of the Ryukyus. The difference is whether or not to pay the price.

Thinking of this, Wang Fuzhi couldn't help but sigh a little.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Wang Fuzhi settled down and told the ins and outs of his plan one by one.

After listening, Shang Xian got up suddenly: "This ...... This...... This...... The Ming Dynasty treats me Ryukyu, such a long, my Ryukyu will be remembered forever, and I will never dare to forget! It's just that if it is detrimental to the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be criticized a lot, and it will be even more difficult for the angels to do ......"

"Rest assured, these things. I'm sure Your Majesty will understand. Besides, it was indeed something inappropriate for Daming to sit back and ignore it before. Wang Fuzhi said.

"Don't thank you for your kindness, Xiao Wang will remember the righteous deeds here!" Shang Xian was waiting for him, solemn.

……

West Garden.

Zhu Cihong got up early in the morning, and when he heard that Gu Yanwu asked to see him, he called Gu Yanwu to have breakfast together.

In the past, this was something that Ronn couldn't have done. The same is true today. However, Zhu Cihong was very calm about this, and Gu Yanwu was panicked at first. Later, he also talked and laughed with Zhu Cihong.

After a few words of gossip, it was almost time for breakfast, and it began to gradually get to the point.

"Have you come up with a solution?" Zhu Cihong knew that Gu Yanwu's return must have been for the Ryukyu issue. As Zhu Cihong's close minister, he is of course responsible for the most important work in Zhu Cihong's eyes. Gu Yanwu, Chen Zhenhui, Wang Fuzhi and other young generations are all rookies trusted by Zhu Cihong, and they are all running on the diplomatic front.

Gu Yanwu complimented Zhu Cihong and got to the point after saying a few words: "Actually, it can't be regarded as the minister who came up with it himself. Mainly, it was Wang Fuzhi's idea. ”

As he spoke, Gu Yanwu laid out Wang Fuzhi's plans one by one.

Zhu Cihong frowned, but soon smiled: "Originally, it was still a tangled matter, but I didn't expect that this time the Ryukyu problem could be solved together." It's just that you and I both understand. But the outside, including the common people, may not understand. It's a good thing, but if the publicity is not in place. On the contrary, a good thing has become a bad thing, and when others listen to it, they feel that they have lost their power and humiliated the country, and they feel humiliated. It's not pretty. ”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the ministers admire it in their hearts." Gu Yanwu grinned.

Zhu Cihong scolded with a smile: "Don't get these slippery heads." ”

Gu Yanwu said with a straight face: "Speaking of which, this is also the same as the problem of the Mongols back then. At the moment, Mongolia's problems are mostly calm. The people emigrated outside the customs, and the trade routes were unimpeded. Mongolia is closely connected with the interior, and under the soldiers and horses stationed in the Ming Dynasty, no tribe dares to buy and sell. Everyone lives in peace and win-win development. Things in Japan are a little bit special, so in the end, we have to take a high profile. Even...... When necessary. Weichen also thinks that it is right to slap first and then give a date. ”

"That's right. But the Ryukyu court could not come forward directly. Zhu Cihong heard the smell of gunpowder, looked at the words marked in red on the plan, and took a line.

Gu Yanwu wrote it down and said, "The minister understands." ”

After speaking, I saw Zhu Cihong silent. Gu Yanwu understood that this was the time when he began to think about it.

I thought I would wait for a long time, but Gu Yanwu didn't expect that Zhu Cihong made a decision just by drinking soup: "Young men, let it go." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The ministers will never fail to live up to Your Majesty's trust! Gu Yanwu stood tall.

Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand, but he looked ill-willed: "This is the opening cannon, but it's going to start for me." I must go to Japan on a trip. However, if this one does not run loudly at the beginning, it does not lift its spirit. Maybe there will be sour words in some corner, shouting that you traitors who are trying to get the emperor running away will be brought to justice. ”

"The ministers are doing the right thing, and they are not afraid to bring them to justice. Besides, isn't there His Majesty who knows everything? Gu Yanwu smiled.

Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand: "Flim tongue." Alright, let's get busy. Give me the China Alliance, and then work out a new world! ”

Gu Yanwu left happily, and Zhu Cihong also started a busy day.

However, Zhu Cihong didn't feel tired. First, young and energetic. Second, most of the cumbersome government affairs have been given to the people below to carry out. Even if there are some low-level decisions, there are also the State Advisory Council to take into account. In many cases, all Zhu has to do is organize a feasible decision-making plan. Or grasp the plan based on strategy.

With more time, Zhu Cihong can free up his hands to do what he likes. For example, to discuss the next plan of Hengxin Commercial Bank with the queen, such as going directly to the Beijing Normal University Hall to start a new day of lectures.

After becoming an emperor, there was also a lot of discomfort.

At the very least, the degree of freedom is much lower.

At this time, the advantage of Zhonghua Erlang's lack of shaving came into play. Under the skillful hands of the queen, Zhu Cihong changed day by day.

For example, ten days ago, Zhu Cihong was a distinguished professor in the Craftsman Compound, wearing a black robe and a fake beard. Three days ago, Zhu Cihong was the author of the Stone Record, and he was a Confucian in the newly opened Wendao Academy, dressed in a sky-blue student uniform of the Beijing Normal University.

And today, Zhu Cihong is dressed up.

His identity is the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and he is about to go to the Jingshi University Hall to dig people.

With the recovery of the empire, the imperial court also began to make many investments. Building bridges and paving roads, water conservancy projects, military investment, seaport development. All kinds of things mean the flow of money.

In the past, when the imperial court was short of money, a lot of money was embezzled, and countless tax sources were lost.

Now that the imperial court has finally saved some money, and it has finally straightened out its financial plans, it naturally cannot tolerate corruption in the ranks.

For this reason, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was entrusted with the important task of carrying out supervision work.

However, there are too few teams. The empire is so big, and when there were only more than 10,000 officials, it couldn't survive with hundreds of imperial histories. Now that the team is bigger, the team is even more difficult to manage.

In particular, the Metropolitan Procuratorate's own team is not standardized.

Prior to this, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was often the emperor's scolder. It is they who sell their names directly, and getting a court staff given by the emperor is a supreme honor and seniority, which is enough to prove that they are a qualified official.

Now, there is no more court staff. The court has given seats to the council, how can there be a court staff?

Zhu Cihong is also very simple to deal with this kind of thing. Doing business, talking about things, and doing things according to the law. Now there are no rules, so I'll make a rule. If you can't get to the point of talking nonsense, you will be sent back to the office of the Chinese scholar to learn official writing.

If he came to get the court staff under the idea of angering the emperor, Zhu Cihong also sent someone to verify it, refute it one by one, and then secretly changed the KPI of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The emperor is too scared, and he is less busy with other things.

But what did the imperial court do when it opened a metropolitan procuratorate, it was definitely not for the emperor.

If you are too busy to come to your own job, you will say goodbye to the next quarterly evaluation, and wait for the transfer and demotion to the grassroots level.

After solving the unhealthy trend of earning a court cane, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will have to return to its own work and supervise illegal things.

It's just that I forgot how to investigate the violations of law and discipline by focusing on how to scare people.

Although Zhu Cihong spent time talking with Liu Zongzhou about team building, he was not very hopeful, so he planned to expand team building and work education.

In later generations, there was the China University of Political Science and Law, the Judicial School, and the Public Security University. Zhu Cihong also wanted to build a new school.

Establishment, financial allocation, and land can all be easily solved. But people are a big problem. Zhu Cihong didn't want to wait for the next academic year to recruit people, so he decided to come to Beijing Normal University Hall to poach people.

"A new day has begun, a new day...... Will it be a boring day to continue? ”

Li Yuna has been in the hall of Beijing Normal University for a month, and she has gradually adapted to life, but she has not made any new friends.

He opened the journal, wrote a few words and walked out of the dormitory. She wouldn't have expected what should have been an ordinary day...... He would see His Majesty the Emperor again, who haunted him.
