Seiwa

In October of the sixth year of Yongle, the emperor stayed in the Hejian Mansion, and ordered the three guards of Wuliangha to go out to patrol the border and fly to Daning.

The commander of the Daning capital sent people to inform the big and small leaders of Wuliangha that the emperor had an order. The Tatars had newly defeated Oirats, and the road to the north was impassable.

"When an enemy invades, you can go out and attack it."

In short, if you don't come, let it go, if you dare to come, you will be shot to death.

The leaders of Duoyan, Fuyu and Taining Sanwei were all overjoyed when they received the order.

Whether or not Alutai is really insane, they don't care.The emperor's order really met their wishes.

The caravan that went out to trade was robbed, and the strong men were already full of anger.Helpless, the imperial army assembled the frontier guards, Wei Guogong ruled the army extremely strictly, and did not dare to act without orders.Otherwise, the crime of disobeying the emperor's order and losing his head, not disobeying the emperor's order, and suppressing the hat of disobeying the military order will not be able to bear it.

To use an analogy, the strong men of Wuliangha became terrified when they saw Ding Guogong, like a rabbit seeing a tiger.Changing to Wei Guogong would not be much better.

Today, when Shangjing was in trouble, Duoyan Sanwei fought against Wei Guogong, and after the war, he came to the conclusion that the emperor's brother-in-law was as bad as Ding Guogong.It is not necessary, absolutely not to be messed with.

The emperor ordered the three guards to go out to meet the enemy, which is tantamount to breaking the curse on the heads of the strong men.

Really happy!

"Benya's loss is nothing to be afraid of, it's not as good as Guilichi." Duoyanwei and Zhiha'erai had fought against Guilichi Alutai, and knew Tatar very well, "Alutai is difficult to deal with."

"Otherwise." Qi Lie should have gone to the capital, gained knowledge, gained Meng Qing and Qingyan, and his status among the big and small leaders of Tainingwei has risen sharply, and his words are quite confident, "The current Arutai has long since disappeared. Otherwise, he would not be easily defeated by Mahamu."

"You mean?"

"Alutai is cunning, but it depends on who he compares with. Killing Guilichi and supporting Benya is a loss. If he continues to surrender to Daming, there is still room for change. Killing the envoy of Daming angered the Son of Heaven. That’s the way forward.”

As he spoke, Qiregai stretched out his fist, clenched it tightly, let it go, and clenched it again.

The joints made a clicking sound, which made the strong men in the tent uncontrollably rush forward.

"The Tatars were newly defeated and fled in a hurry. We are waiting for work. If we don't win a big victory, we will inevitably be looked down upon by those Jurchens!"

Qi Ligai's words touched the most sensitive nerves of the strong men.

As the gold medalist of the Ming Dynasty, the strongest foreign player, even for generous rewards, he would not allow anyone to challenge his status.Belonging to the Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong Jurchen ministries who were also proficient in riding and shooting naturally became a thorn in the eyes of the strong men.

If Jurchen wants to rise, she must let the Ming court see her own value.Money is not money, technology is not technology, only the ability to mount a horse and fight can be used. Even if the overall strength is not as good as Wuliangha, for the development of the tribe, they must bite the bullet and compete.

Although the population of the Jurchen tribe is flawed, they are not weaker than the Mongolian cavalry in terms of fierceness and bravery, which is enough to attract the attention of the court.

Jianzhou Wei, Mao Lianwei, and Hu'er Wenwei began to emerge one after another.The Son of Heaven ordered the conquest of the desert, and the Liaodong General Military Officer specially recommended Ha Ha Chu and others. With Meng Shan's face, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu would not leave them alone.Be active, move up and down, if you can't enter the Chinese army, it is not impossible to get a forward.

"Yes, we can't let these Jurchens see it all!"

Pulling out the Jurchen as a target, Qi Liegai's words immediately resonated.

Duoyan Weidu's commander and fellow-knowledge Ha'erai immediately ordered to summon the guards' army and send out scouts. Once they found the traces of the Tatar cavalry, they would attack immediately.

"The emperor ordered us to go out to meet the enemy, and we must win a big victory!"

Commander Fuyu Weidu commanded Qian Shian to pull out his saber and said viciously: "The Tatars robbed our Yanba tea and killed the warriors of Uliangha. This revenge must be avenged!"

"revenge!"

"Kill Benya and lose face, capture Alutai alive!"

The crowd was excited, and the leaders quickly dispersed, quickly summoned the warriors under their command, mobilized before the battle, and assigned combat tasks.

The head of the person who is delivered to the door is not cut off for nothing!

According to Xing Ningbo's words, it's the right time to dig a hole and fill it with soil, and to add insult to injury!

Wuliangha's actions quickly reached Zhu Di's ears.

Emperor Yong Le was very satisfied with the performance of the brawny men, and specially sent people to Beijing to inform Xu Huizu that if necessary, he could send cavalry to support Duoyan Sanwei's actions.

"If you win a big victory, you don't care about the capture, only the head will be the reward."

The eunuch hurried away with the emperor's letter in his arms.

Standing aside, Meng Qinghe couldn't help but click his tongue. No matter how much he robbed, he didn't have to hand it over to the court and digest it all by himself?

It is reported that Benya has lost his face and has no brains, but his robbery methods are first-rate.If Alutai and Maerhazan were the main players in the disturbance, but him, Wuliangha would definitely make a fortune.

This is the so-called fortune is coming, can't it be stopped?

Scratching my chin, I am really envious.

Zhu Di didn't know what Meng Qinghe was thinking, if he knew, he would probably be quite speechless.

With Meng Qinghe's current wealth, do he still need to envy Ben Ya's missing things in his hands?

It's no wonder that Zhu Di has a high vision. At this time, Daming is completely tall, rich and handsome standing at the top of the pyramid.In the eyes of the rich and handsome Zhu Laosi, the three melons and two dates in Tatar's hand are not worth thinking about, and they may not be willing to bend down to pick them up if they fall in front of them.

Therefore, it is not without reason that Uncle Meng still hates the rich in a high position.

After giving the order to Wu Liangha, Zhu Di was in a good mood, so he turned to the officials who followed him to ask for advice. Chen Minyan, the procurator of Yunnan Province, asked for an additional school, and how to deal with it was the most appropriate.

Among the civil servants, Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, had the highest official position, and he was also a typical hard-working talent. He already had a full-fledged case for what Chen Yushi said.Zhu Di looked over, and immediately said: "I think that Chen Yushi's performance is in line with the people's sentiments and the merits of the imperial court's education, so we can follow it."

Zhu Di didn't nod immediately, and asked Hu Guang, Yang Shiqi and others one after another, and the answers he got were similar. They all believed that the establishment of Confucianism in Yunnan was a major event that would benefit the society, and it should be accurate.

Originally, Yang Rong was supposed to be on the driving list, but unfortunately he was unlucky. Earlier, he used his father's illness as an excuse to get out of trouble, setting a precedent for the Yongle Dynasty to suspend his job without pay. Then, when he became ill, Yang Shidu had no choice but to attend Ding You's melodies to pay his father's filial piety.

But there are two sides to the story.

Missing the opportunity to follow the northern tour, but weakened Emperor Yong Le's dislike for him.In the future, [-]% may be promoted to two levels.

When Hu Guang and others expressed their opinions, Meng Qinghe remained silent.It's not that he has no ideas, it's just that he thinks more and goes deeper.

Among the memorials delivered by the capital, why did Emperor Yongle choose Chen Minyan's memorial?If there is no other intention, Meng Qinghe dares to go to the martial arts competition with the Duke.

Chen Yushi said in his memorandum that since Hongwuzhong, the southwestern provinces have set up schools to educate students, so that students in prefectures and counties can learn the scriptures and knowledge.He also ordered the local chief envoys to start courses every three years, just like the Central Plains.However, the Southwest is far away from the capital, and most of the officials are local people, and the academic regulations are narrow.Those who can pass the exam are rare.

"I ask the imperial court not to choose etiquette, to know the scriptures and righteousness, and to teach scholars who know how to practice. There are few education methods. It is used to promote enlightenment, so that the natives can know the virtues of the emperor."

Chen Yushi's dispatch was well-founded and in line with the imperial government's basic policy of educating the border people, and it was sent to the capital, and it was sent to the office within the next night.

If Emperor Yong Le hadn't brought this up on purpose, Meng Qinghe wouldn't have thought too much about it.

Thinking of Yang Duo's mention of the Southwest matter, combined with Shen Xuan's few words, a thought flashed in his mind.

Southwest, Confucianism?

The emperor's reduction of King Ping's salary seems to have something to do with his private school in Guizhou.

Emperor Yong Le's dissatisfaction with the scholar-bureaucrats had accumulated to a certain extent, and it was bound to explode.Chen Minyan's Shangshu is probably an introduction.

Meng Qinghe was shocked immediately.

Taking a glance at Emperor Yong Le, it's no wonder the Grand Duke told him that there is no need to worry about Southwest affairs.Whoever Emperor Yong Le wanted to deal with, even his own son, could only obediently wash his neck and wait to be stabbed.

If he guessed right, what should he do?Continue to remain silent, or pass the knife at the right time?

Everyone present didn't seem to realize the fundamental intention of the emperor.Or are you pretending to be stupid when you have a guess in your mind?

All the people present were obviously loyal to the emperor.Emperor Yong Le wanted to attack the scholar-bureaucrats, but he basically would not attack them, maybe he could take the opportunity to deal with a few enemies.With the style of these people on weekdays, they may not pretend to be confused,

But it seemed that Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others could pretend to be confused, but Meng Qinghe could not.

It is better to pass the knife to the emperor than to be wise and protect one's life.

If you want to continue to gain a foothold in the court, you must have enemies.If you don't have enemies, you have to make enemies for yourself.

All courts are friends, everyone speaks good things, what do you want to do?

Learning from Wang Mang?

Furthermore, the relationship between him and the civil servant group is already incompatible, adding a few more rifts will be more conducive to hugging Zhu Di's thigh tightly.

Thinking of this, Meng Qinghe took half a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"speak."

"My minister thinks that the school is the place where talents come out. They must learn from others and rely on them. Now that Siyi has settled down and all directions have come to court, there are not many people who admire our civilization. In the southwestern border, although scholars have a direction The heart of learning, but the academic regulations are simple, the teachers are mediocre, and they are not worthy of their expectations. Even if they have been studying for several years, it is difficult to become a talent. It is a waste of time and fails to live up to the good intention of the imperial court to promote education."

At this point, Meng Qinghe paused, Zhu Di nodded, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others also showed approval.No matter what you think about Meng Qinghe himself, these words speak to the hearts of everyone, which is quite realistic.

"Continue to talk." Emperor Yong Le said.

"Yes." Meng Qinghe cleared his throat, "Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise enough to select talented people to inspect the four directions and play various school affairs."

Previously, he was presenting the facts and making sense, but this sentence is a blatant fart, and it is quite natural.

Zhu Di was photographed very comfortably,

Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi couldn't be moved by the eight winds, but the corners of Hu Guangjin Youzi's mouth twitched.

Since the third year of Yongle, the Hanlin Academy has been busy compiling books. Most of Uncle Meng's various feats have been heard about, but not seen in person.Now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, I have to admit that ordinary people have to learn it for a while, and they may not be able to get the essence of it.

Meng Qinghe doesn't care what other people think, the eunuchs and friends of Jin Yiwei have covered up all the stamps, sycophant?Trifle!

"I believe that the most important thing in school is to learn from officials and Confucian teachers. If you learn from a master, you can become a well-educated person even in a humble room, and produce talents in calligraphy."

Zhu Di finally smiled, "In my opinion, how should Confucian teachers choose?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I heard that there are famous people among the mountains and rivers."

"Oh?" Zhu Di began to tap his fingers habitually again, "Is it a sign from the imperial court?"

"I think that you can announce to the world that the imperial court will increase Confucianism and widely recruit Confucian teachers." Meng Qing reconciled, "The announcement should state the students' desire to learn, and the imperial court's intention to promote education. The applicants must be elegant and clear. Cheese."

The speaker didn't seem to realize it, but the listener's expression was a little subtle.

Those who are recruited are high scholars, but what are the ones who should not be recruited?

"It can also be recommended by the people, and the list of Confucian virtues and talents should be listed on the notice." Whether it is a real public opinion recommendation, or Jin Yiwei's secret operation, it only depends on Zhu Di's intentions.

Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and the others gasped.

recommended?Still want to list?

Black, really black!

The imperial court enlisted to be an official, but he should not be called, and it can be said that he was indifferent to fame and fortune.

Public opinion elections are widely spread all over the world. If they are ignored, the words "fishing for fame and reputation" will be 100% on the head.People will even doubt the authenticity of the knowledge.

If you really have real talents, why should you not be called?It's not to be an official in the imperial court, but to teach and educate people in Confucianism and educate the barbarians.The good deeds that have been accomplished for thousands of years, but they have to be rejected. Apart from poor talent and learning, and fear of missing the foundation, what other explanation is there?

It's not over yet, Uncle Meng is still digging holes.

"If there are still noble people, their salaries can be attributed to the school to reward intelligent and hardworking students."

Noble?Not contaminated with copper smell?

Okay, instead of paying you a salary, it will be changed to a scholarship for students, so as to ensure that you have nothing to worry about, what else can you say?

If you don't teach Confucianism seriously, it is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.

Attack Zhu Di?People's saliva can drown people.Such a virtuous king who thinks about the people still has no conscience to criticize!

"I think that besides the southwest, the northern border also needs a large number of Confucian teachers."

It's not as noble as the scholar-officials, but it's better than digging pits and burying people.If necessary, the pit can be dug deeper and a few bamboo thorns buried.

Use fame to suppress you, public opinion to push you, and continue to resist, saying "the name is not worthy of the name, the name is not worthy of the name, and the fake is high", and the pit can kill you!

Therefore, obediently respond to the emperor's call and go to the place where the motherland needs it most!

This is a conspiracy, clearly on the table.

"In addition to Confucianism, there can also be martial arts, arithmetic, medicine, etc. A gentleman's six arts, both civil and military, should not be neglected. Emperor Taizu Gao said that the sun and the moon will reopen the Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty, please continue the past and open up the future, and return to me. The majestic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties conquered the whole country, frightened the northern captives and the southern barbarians, and created a great cause that will never be seen in the world!"

Regardless of civil servants or military generals, when they heard Meng Qinghe's last words, they would involuntarily burst into blood, and they didn't realize that the concluding remarks were a bit off topic.

"Okay!" Zhu Di slapped the table fiercely, his excitement palpable, "That's what you said."

Meng Qinghe's words made Zhu Di very satisfied, far exceeding expectations.

If it is really carried out as proposed, not to mention that all the talents in the world are in the urn, it can also trap most scholar-bureaucrats.

It may seem absurd, but in the Ming Dynasty when everything was possible, Uncle Meng handed out this long knife called "Fame", which was sharp enough without sharpening.

Zhu Di immediately ordered Yang Shiqi, Hu Guang and Jin Youzi to summarize and polish what Meng Qinghe said.The above reading is correct, and it is sent to the capital immediately, and the copy is sent to all prefectures and counties, and posted in the yamen, so that a special person will announce the township.

The three of Yang Shiqi received the order, thanking the emperor for bestowing the "heavy task", and smiling wryly in their hearts.

Uncle Xingning came up with the idea, but it was summed up and polished by the three of him.When the news came out, Xing Ningbo was criticized verbally and in writing, and they couldn't get rid of their ties, and the criticism they received would be even stronger.

Xing Ningbo's reputation is well known to everyone, how bad can it be?The three of them were from serious academic backgrounds, and it would not be much better if they were not drowned in saliva.

Did the Son of Heaven do it on purpose?

Hu Guangjin Youzi frowned, not daring to complain about Zhu Di, so he could only stare at the culprit and kill with his eyes.

Yang Shiqi bowed his hands to Meng Qinghe, "Uncle is a great talent, and the officials admire him."

Meng Qinghe was surprised that the cautious Yang Shiqi could say these words.Regardless of whether there is an extended meaning or not, I don't intend to care about it.After all, these three were tricked by him once.

Although, he really didn't mean it.

In October of the sixth year of Yongle, the emperor decreed to set up a school during his northern tour, and asked the people to recommend talented people.

In the same month, the Tatar cavalry who fled to the Kherlen River were discovered by Uliangha scouts.

The leaders of the three guards of Wuliangha were not ambiguous at all. They were sure that they were not suspects or ambushes. They picked up their knives and chased after them with the assembled tribal warriors.

The two sides fought on the banks of the Kerulen River.

The discovered Tatar cavalry belonged to the troops of Ben Yashili and Alutai, and the troops of Ma Erhaza and Tuohuo had already parted ways with the two men and headed northward along the Hami border.

If Ma'erhazan and Tuohuochi didn't leave with the team, the three guards of Wuliangha would have to consider whether to look for an opportunity to sneak attack first and weaken the opponent's strength.Nowadays, there is no such trouble at all.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon improved by the Daning Zaza Bureau was put on the horse, and the continuous bow and the arm-length short blunderbuss were fired quickly while galloping.

The brawny men wore leather armor and brandished sabers in a charge formation, like sharp chisels, ruthlessly digging into the forward team of Arutai.

The war horses collided fiercely, and the blades collided, causing ear-piercing buzzing.

Blood soon stained the river bank red.

Wuliangha is brave and Alutai is cunning.The two sides fought inextricably.

When the battle was in full swing, two thousand-man cavalry suddenly appeared on the flanks of the battlefield.

One is the Tatar cavalry ambushing in advance, and the other is the team from Kaipingwei who came to reinforce Wuliangha.The leader of the team was none other than Chen Ji, the grandson of Lord Jing who had shined in the Habayashiwei martial arts competition.

On another battlefield, the artillery of the Ming army finally pushed to the front of Hanyang City, and the Korean War was coming to an end.

At the same time, the emperor's royal car set off from Hejian Mansion and continued northward.The destination was not Beiping, but a diversion and went straight to Daning.
