After Xia Xun left Beijing, his pace slowed down.【】
He was not in a hurry to return to Liaodong. This time there was an accident in Liaodong, he was the biggest beneficiary, and the policies he needed were successfully obtained.
Originally, Xia Xun was a little worried about leaving Zhang Jun and Wanshiyu alone to handle this extremely wide-ranging incident involving many tribes. However, as Wanshiyu sent official letters one after another, Xia Xun gradually felt relieved. Wanshiyu's
He doesn't have as much authority as him, and he doesn't know the general situation of the world as well as he does, but he can actually handle specific and minor matters more appropriately than he does.
After all, Wan Shiyu is an official who has worked hard from one level to the next. He handles things in a flawless manner and thinks more carefully than he does. This is a skill he has honed over many years as an official. As a Duke who ascended on a rocket, in
There is no way to compete with others in this aspect.
After Xia Xun saw Wanshiyu's disposal plan, his eager mood calmed down and his mind became more active: If he doesn't show up for a while, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for Wanshiyu to shine? If he comes forward too early, Wanshi will
Domain has to hide in its own shadow again.
Liaodong will be handed over sooner or later, and the time is very fast. Now you have to start training people. If you wait until you leave to hand over in a hurry, it will not be conducive to establishing the prestige of your successor.
Furthermore, what Wanshiyu is doing now is exactly what he wants to do, but this time it will inevitably have a deeper impact on the Liaodong tribes. If he comes forward directly, he will have used his last trump card and there will be no room for maneuver.
, once the handling is wrong and arouses greater conflicts, then the only choice is to ask the emperor to come forward. Once the time comes for the emperor to come forward, he should pack up and get out. His vision for Liaodong and all the hard work he has put in will have to be paid for.
Eastward flow.
Now it is up to Wanshiyu to do it. Once there is any uncontrollable situation, he can step in and take over. Of course, doing so will make Wanshiyu take the blame, but in order to establish Wanshiyu's prestige in Liaodong, he must be allowed to show himself
With his own ability and iron fist, in front of the Liaodong tribes who are accustomed to the law of the jungle, they have no unearned prestige and power.
If he wants to get it, he must bear the corresponding risks!
In the handling of this incident, Wanshiyu not only showed an extremely tough side, but also showed partiality towards the Han merchant group. Of course, the cause of the incident did not lie with the Han merchants, and it was not the Han merchants who took action first.
Those who were beaten, smashed, looted and burned in Kaiyuan City were not Han merchants, but due to the intervention of the army and their obvious favoritism to Han merchants, those who suffered the most in the end were actually those Hu people who had always been arrogant and arrogant.
At the same time, Han merchants also have to bear a lot of responsibility for armed private fights. At least, they can be said to be self-defense at the beginning, but when the army intervenes, they should let it go and let the army handle it, but exactly
On the contrary, using the help of the military, there were many unnecessary casualties caused by them just to vent their anger.
However, Wanshiyu's handling of this matter obviously failed to make the judgment absolutely in accordance with the law. Xia Xun supported this. Tianzao, he has given enough, and it is time to establish his authority.
Well, a good old man with virtue but no power cannot subdue those barbarians who don’t know what the king’s law is.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's ruling foundation in Liaodong mainly relied on, is, will always be, and will always be the Ming Dynasty's army and the majority Han people. In this incident, the Hu people suffered heavy casualties, and the Han people's property was seriously damaged, and the cause of the incident
, the fault lies with the Hu people. If this bowl of water is served impartially, the Hu people will not be convinced, and the Han people will not be convinced either. If you blindly pursue absolute fairness, you will alienate both parties and lose their support base, which will lead to the general trend.
Go away.
Xia Xun is a politician who pursues political interests, not an idealist who pursues fairness for the sake of fairness. The background of the Hanshang Group is the Liaodong wealthy family and the general group of the army. This time, they must be given an explanation.
We are all our own relatives, but there are distances and distances. We are both our children, and there are distances between them. Before the foreigners are fully integrated and become our own people, we must treat them with kindness and power, and we cannot blindly tolerate them.
Therefore, Xia Xun’s position is similar to that of the Wanshi Territory. In this case, of course it is better for the Wanshi Territory to handle the matter. If the matter is successfully handled, the Wanshi Territory will be able to frighten the Liaodong tribes and gain the firm support of the Liaodong military and Liaodong tribes;
If the handling fails and the backlash is too strong, it won't be too late for him, Xia Xun, to step in to clean up the mess.
In view of this, Xia Xun slowed down his trip and only made some detailed replies to the disposal plan submitted by Wanshiyu. He quickly sent people back to Liaodong, while he took a leisurely pace and walked slowly, which was better than leisurely walking in the courtyard.
walk……
Thanks to this, before Xia Xun arrived in Liaodong, he received news: North Korean envoys rushed to the capital to press for part of the territory and tribesmen in Liaodong. After the Ming Dynasty officials searched the "Geographical Chronicles" left over from the Liao and Jin dynasties, they indeed
No records were found about the places and tribes provided by the North Korean envoys, and it has been decided to formally confirm that these territories and tribes near the Yalu and Tumen Rivers belong to North Korea.
When Xia Xun heard this, he was almost frightened. Once it was officially confirmed in the official book, the reverse flow of the Yellow River would be irreversible! Not only would it be irreversible in the Ming Dynasty, but this bad debt would never be rectified in the future.
:The ancestors of your countrymen have acknowledged that that place belongs to us, what else do you have to say?
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Shou, a political activist from Beijing who had always opposed him, played a big role. No one with even a basic sense of national consciousness would agree to cede the land and people. How could Chen Shou be willing to cede the territory that already belonged to the Ming Dynasty?
and the people, and handed it over to North Korea, but the emperor's words have already been spoken. If he goes back on his words, Ming Dynasty's dignity will be lost.
In desperation, Ah Shou resorted to a delaying tactic and lied that he had obtained a unique copy of the Jin Dynasty, and that there were relevant records in the "Geography", but the "Geography" currently in the government collection was missing and incomplete.
This is not enough evidence. As for the "Geographical Notes" he mentioned, it is a book collected in the home of a good friend of his.
Zhu Di believed it to be true and overjoyed, he quickly asked. Chen Shou had no choice but to continue lying, saying that his good friend's ancestor was a Jurchen and a noble of the Jin Kingdom, so his family had such a surviving "Geography". Then
A good friend changed his Han surname to Li when he was in the fifth generation, and now sells salt in Huaishang. I don't know if this unique collection of books still exists at home. I need to ask to find out.
Chen Shouzhi's delaying strategy was actually just to delay the matter for a longer time before resolving it. He had already asked his friends to take advantage of the opportunity to leave Beijing and visit old people everywhere to seek a countermeasure. This was so common in the world.
There are many scholars out there who are still afraid that they can’t come up with a solution after pooling their brains?
It's a pity that Zhu Di took it seriously. Zhu Di was more anxious than him. He had a lot of old bones. How long would it take for him to go to Huaihe River? Zhu Di immediately asked him to write a letter and asked Zheng He to go quickly to get it. He must get it.
Only with real evidence can North Korea be convinced.
Chen Shou was helpless and did not dare to admit that he had deceived the emperor. Fortunately, the friend named Li he mentioned really existed, so he wrote a letter to Zheng He, deliberately mentioning an old address first to delay his trip, and then turned around again.
He sent his close family members and another letter to see his old friend, explaining the cause and effect, and asked him to just say that he had moved several times and had already lost the original copy, so he must not expose the truth. Then he repaired several letters and went to find a few people he had met.
Friends from all walks of life, these people are all knowledgeable people, let's work together to come up with a good plan.
When Xia Xun left Beijing, he had already left spies behind. He kept spies because he was worried that Qiu Fu would be unwilling to do so and continue to hold him back. As the saying goes, three men make a tiger, he does things in front, while Qiu Fu gathers a group of people behind.
The staff kept saying bad things about him all day long. Who knew that one day the emperor would become angry and believe their rumors? So he had to hold back.
After the spies stationed in Beijing heard that the North Korean envoys came to Beijing to ask the emperor for the land and population of Liaodong, they immediately sent people to catch up and report to Xia Xun. The Lord of the Ministry was guarding Liaodong, and all matters in Liaodong were covered.
He has a close relationship with the Lord of the Ministry. If you dare to delay this matter and fail to report it, you will be beheaded.
When the spies caught up with Xia Xun, Xia Xun had just arrived at Shanhaiguan.
The commander-in-chief of the Guanmen Gate was called Hu Yanbo, and he was a governor in Beijing. The commander-in-chief was not a permanent position at that time. He was in charge of the soldiers, the number of personnel, and his rank was not fixed. Usually, the prince or the local governor took charge of the job on an ad hoc basis.
Seal, still reinstated. Because the jurisdiction order of the military system in the Ming Dynasty was the five-army military governor's office, the capital division, and the garrison system.
Whenever there was a war, the imperial court sent general military officers further down to control the guards. Shanhaiguan was an important pass. When the emperor arrived in Beijing and strengthened defense along the border, he was temporarily sent to Shanhaiguan. When Xia Xun went to Beijing,
Because he was in a hurry to see the emperor, he did not stop here. On his return trip, the general Huyan soldiers greeted him and gave him a banquet.
Hu Yanbo's behavior was actually just pretending. He was Qiu Fu's old subordinate, and of course he knew about the grudges between Qiu Fu and Xia Xun, because he knew that something had happened in Liaodong, and the governor would not have the intention to stay with him.
Pretending to be attentive, Xia Xun unexpectedly agreed happily. Hu Yanbo had to pinch his nose and order people to prepare the banquet seriously.
During the banquet, Hu Yanbo made a toast and asked pretending to be concerned: "General, I heard that some tribes in Liaodong took advantage of the absence of the headquarters to cause a lot of trouble. Is it serious?"
Xia Xun took a sip of wine, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's very serious. After hearing this, our headquarters was very anxious. We rushed back to Liaodong this time just to deal with this matter urgently."
Hu Yanbo glanced at him and saw that he was slowly nibbling a roasted pigeon, as if he was afraid that the oil would get on his hands, and he also raised his orchid fingers. He couldn't help thinking: "Is this called anxious? Why do you feel so heartless?"
Woolen cloth……"
At this moment, the secret agents from Beijing caught up with him. When the secret letter was delivered to Xia Xun, he was still very relaxed. He took the towel, wiped his fingers, tore open the letter gracefully, and gently unfolded the paper...
…
When he was halfway there, his expression changed. After looking through everything in a hurry, Xia Xun slapped the table and said angrily: "Let's go!"
Hu Yanbo stretched his neck and grasped the content of the letter with the corners of his eyes. His eyes were almost sprained and he couldn't understand what was written. He was in a hurry when Xia Xun banged the table, making him tremble. He quickly jumped up and asked: "
