Chapter 94: Qi Jiguang offered bribes
"Yes, the kid went all the way to Liaodong at that time, and he was indeed going to travel and find out about the Jurchen situation for his father. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's also ridiculous to say, my father is dedicated to the country, and he is still supervising the war and purging the Japanese in Fujian and Zhejiang, plus the efforts of other anti-Japanese generals, I believe that sooner or later the Japanese rebellion will be completely quelled.
But whenever my father talked about the situation of my Ming Dynasty, the most worrying thing was not the Japanese Kou, but the Tatar king Altan (Mongol Great Khan), the Jurchens in the north who were still divided. He has said many times that sooner or later my Ming Dynasty will fight with the nomads in the north, and if the imperial court does not pay attention to it, and is only satisfied with friendship through mutual markets, sooner or later it will cause a big disaster. ”
Kuroda nodded his head, this Qi Jiguang really deserves to be a military strategist of the Ming Dynasty, his guess is exactly the situation that the Ming Kingdom needs to face decades later, a unified Jurchen tribe, the Ming Dynasty can not raise its head, and finally destroyed the last Han emperor in the Heavenly Dynasty (Yuan Shikai, the emperor, I think it still needs to be discussed).
But even though he knew this, Kuroda Vocational High School still asked Qi Ying: "Why is this?" ”
"The Japanese are from your country (Qi Ying accentuated the tone on the word "your country)...... Some of the idle people who went to my Daming, even under the deliberate organization, were able to come together. But after all, its root is still in the Wa Kingdom and not in my Ming Dynasty, its purpose is to loot rather than occupy, and there is no way to occupy it with their ability, at most it is to form a few strongholds. In terms of purpose, the damage to my Daming is actually limited, and sooner or later it will be quelled.
The most important thing is that they have no stable source of supplies in Daming, and can only obtain food through robbery, as long as Daming can really pay attention to it, make great efforts to clean up, clear the fields near its activity area, cut off their access to food, and finally drive them all out of my Daming.
Relatively speaking, the Tatars and the Jurchens were completely different.
Although the Tatar Alta answered more than ten years ago, once hit the land of Beijing, but these years the imperial court has been very concerned about the situation in the northwest, and now there are Wang Chonggu Wang Shuai, Ma Fang Ma Shuai, Yang Bo Yang Shuai and others in charge of the strategy (just in the past two years, because of the impeachment of Confucianism Wang Chonggu was deposed, and finally died of depression, Ma Fang Ma Shuai, Yang Bo Yang Shuai was also deposed one after another), has been peaceful. It's just that my father is very worried that once these old commanders are deposed, the disaster of Tatar will inevitably return, and they have the ability to subvert the rule of my Ming Dynasty.
The same is true of the Jurchens, whose roots are in Liaodong outside the Guan, although they are now divided, and they have always been under the command of the Ming Dynasty, and they seem to be safe and harmless. But my father has seen more than once, I have seen the naturalized Tatar and Jurchen warriors in my Ming army, and my father said that they are all born warriors on horseback, and their combat effectiveness is amazing, as long as they are given a horse, more than ten Ming Bu soldiers are not necessarily their opponents. ”
"Qi Shuai actually spoke so highly of them?" Kuroda said with some surprise.
"Yes, that's what my father said, and the boy was very impressed by his father's worried look. Now the Ming Dynasty looks like the country and the people are safe, but in fact, there are internal and external troubles, and the court is full of people who talk about misleading the country, and there are foreign rebellions and rebellions, and there are hidden dangers of the Jurchens, which is really difficult for the country.
Although the Jurchens are now in a state of fragmentation, but the trend of the world, the way of division and integration, once there is a figure who can lead the Quartet among the Jurchen tribes, as long as the number of soldiers exceeds 10,000, it will inevitably become another strong enemy of my Ming Dynasty. In addition, it happened to be the same time, and when I encountered the above incident, my father sent me to Liaodong.
The first can be regarded as avoiding the eyes and ears of the clear stream of the imperial court, temporarily avoiding the limelight, so that they can shut up, so that their father can continue to clean up the Japanese with peace of mind; The second is to inquire for the father's marshal, prepare for the possible battle against the Jurchens in the future, even if the marshal is not presided over by the father, he can inform other generals of the situation. ”
"So that's the case, Qi Shuai worked hard for the country and the people, and didn't care about his own gains and losses, which is really admirable." Kuroda said.
"What did you say? When my father was young, he wrote that the marquis was not my intention, and I hope that Hai Boping's poems are just to express his heart for the country, and he has always done so. It's just that in fact, his father is not as perfect as Kuroda-sama said, and he often bribes Hu-sama, and it is said that he will also bribe the newly appointed cabinet deputy Zhang Juzheng recently. ”
"What...... This, doesn't this leave an excuse for impeachment for those Confucian scholars? Kuroda asked.
"Anyway, those people, even if they are out of court, they can find fault with you, no one is perfect, and no matter what, you can't prevent these real villains. The money used by his father is all the wealth robbed by the Japanese robbers, although he is a little sorry for the robbed father and fellow villagers, but through bribery, he can get more support from Zhang Xiang and Hu Du, he is not selfish. ”
"I see! But even so, you also said that those Confucian scholars who talk about it will not care why you will bribe, they only know in their eyes that this is a good excuse to hit Qi Shuai, Zhang Xiang and Hu Du you said may be able to protect Qi Shuai for a while, but they can't protect Qi Shuai I, once they are brought down by political enemies, Qi Shuai's result can be imagined. ”
"This ...... It seems that the father is indeed underthinking this, so how should we act? Qi Ying asked.
"I really can't help this, unless I kill all these Confucian students, their constant impeachment is something that there is no way to crack."
"Kill them all, and there will still be a new batch of Confucian students who want to climb up for their own purposes!" Qi Ying said with a sigh.
"In the final analysis, it is still the hateful Cheng Zhu Lixue, and the self-righteous Emperor Ming who manipulates everything behind his back." Kuroda said.
"This is already a big disrespect, and I don't dare to make any comments."
"Then we won't talk about this, but we still have to remind Qi Shuai to prepare early, and you can't cast a mouse bogey weapon for these Confucian students! If the country does not have heroes such as Qi Shuai, Wang Shuai, and Ma Shuai, I really don't know what the Ming Congress will become! ”
"That's true, the boy is grateful for the adult's concern."
