However, the final result was very satisfying to those ruffians, and one of the dragon boats of the Iron Cavalry Army, under the leadership of Captain Cao Bianjiao, came from behind, and actually surpassed the Tiger Wing Naval Army, and took the lead in breaking the silk ribbon that fell across the water, and a boat swung in a circle in the center of Jinming Pond.Cao Bianjiao proudly ripped off the red scarf around his neck, and commanded all the soldiers to shout: "May your majesty be longlive, long live, long live!"
”The dragon boats of the various armies that have arrived at the front of the Linshui Hall shouted together, and the guards next to them echoed in unison, the sound shook the ground, and they were happy to Chongzhen Longyan, and with the dragon boat race, the guards and pro-army commanders made Xiong Can shout: "Look at the reward!"
”Hundreds of palace people will tie the red silk flowers heavy strings of copper coins dropped into the water of Jinming Pond, causing all the soldiers to jump off the dragon boat to salvage the reward, after the success of the string of copper coins hung around the neck, some back to the dragon boat to rest, some of the neck hung several strings of money in the water and keep salvaging, and even some soldiers fought with each other underwater, causing the concubines and princesses on the water hall to laugh coquettishly, these deep palace women rarely see such a strong man, at this moment to take advantage of the opportunity to reward, While throwing all kinds of silver coins into the water, he blushed and watched the sturdy men wearing only a pair of calf pants burrow into the water.On the other side of Jin Mingchi, there are a bunch of women who are looking intently at the soldiers of the dragon boat race, they are greased and powdered, their demeanor is enchanting, looking from a distance, like fairy sisters, but there are many evil Shun scoundrels around them staring at the ordinary people who are intent on approaching, these women are famous prostitutes and singers in Shun City."
Hongyu, the strong officer who succeeded, isn't it your good look?"
One of the women in the make-up joked about the other.The girl called Hongyu bit her lower lip with her teeth, looking at the Jingchi officer who was swimming like a dragon and a tiger in the water of Jinming Pond, a blush appeared on her face, "I didn't expect him to be so strong." ”She said in her heart, looking at the rogue boys around her, and a trace of sadness floated between her eyebrows.In the whole Shuncheng, most people know that Cao Bianjiao wants to marry Yang Liuyue in Yang Ge's old mansion, and it seems that Yang Ge Lao has acquiesced to this matter, although Yang Liuyue is a married woman, but it is still popular among the children of the official families in the capital.Cao Bianjiao seemed to be a dead man who wanted money, and he kept making money in one breath, and hung more than a dozen strings of copper coins and gold and silver ingots around his neck, almost weighing dozens of catties, until he couldn't catch anything, he returned to the dragon boat, and raised his arms with a smile on his face and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live!"
”Seeing that there were such brave people in the Ming army, even the Tatar envoy Guiying Chataiji, who had always had a disdainful look on his face, also praised: "I have watched all the heroes of the north and south, and this is a real hero!"
”The sheep's tongue behind him moved, and he looked a little unconvinced.Guiying Chataiji noticed the expression of this subordinate, but he only smiled slightly, and it was not broken.Emperor Chongzhen likes such a straightforward military general the most, and likes his bravery, and preaches that he will reward him with two hundred silk silks, and then turned back to Xiong Can, who is in charge of dragon boat racing, and instructed, such a brave general, must be treated well, Xiong Can only nodded yes."
Your Majesty, since the sailors are available, please build a big ship to go to sea, visit overseas countries, and bring envoys from all countries to the court."
Shoufu Wen Tiren took the opportunity to push the boat down the river, and the Tatar State and the Washorn State almost tacitly mastered the land passage for the Western countries to come to pay tribute, and the Tubo, Khotan, Shule, Gaochang, and Black-clothed Dashi countries that had come to the court in the early years of this dynasty had even been wiped out by the Waspur State.Nowadays, the vassals who come to pay tribute are much inferior to those of the previous dynasty, and most of them come by sea.Li Deren, the squire of the military department, had a tacit understanding with Wen Tiren, and when he heard the words, he knelt down and said: "What Wen Shoufu said is very true, Weichen is willing to lead the boat to the sea, and the country will be powerful in all directions!"
”Li Deren believes that he has made great contributions to the current emperor to help eliminate the eunuch party, and he has served as an important position such as a squire in the military department, but he is always despised by people in the clear stream, just because Li Deren is a powerful minister like Wen Tiren, and because of this, Li Deren is particularly eager to make immortal achievements.Leading a sea ship to bring envoys from distant countries to the DPRK is precisely such a major event, and there is no room for opposition from others.Listening to those envoys who took the sea route, there are still countless countries overseas, greedy for the prosperity of China, as long as they know a little reason, and tempt them to benefit, they can reproduce the prosperous scene of the envoys of Fanbang who came to pay tribute."
Your Majesty, this is a misguided discussion, and it must not be!"
In the imperial history, Yao Ming saw that the emperor was interested in Wen Tiren and Li Deren's proposal, and immediately stepped out to stop him.Seeing Yao Minggong's advice, Wen Tiren's face was not shocked, and the fierceness in Li Deren's eyes appeared slightly.Yao Minggong still said loudly: "Your Majesty, it takes a lot of money to build a big ship to go to sea, and in addition to gaining a false reputation, it is not beneficial to the country, so you can't do it."
There are many overseas states, among which there are quite a few countries that are watching the prosperity of Middle-earth, and the country with bad intentions suffers from not being familiar with the people and roads of the Central Plains and cannot do trouble.The court suddenly rewarded the countries, which will cause the southeast merchants to have no livelihood, but to take the benefits of the people, to fat foreigners, the wealth of the southeast states and counties will be consumed, these three must not. ”After Yao Minggong finished, he still stood in the hall, his eyes looking directly at Yan, as if the emperor did not reject Wen Tiren and Li Deren's proposal, he would never return to the list, and even wanted to admonish each other with the momentum of death.Baiguan and relatives originally agreed with sending ships to the sea to cherish the distant country, but when they heard his three inadmissibles, many of their faces became solemn.Wealth was one of the most concerned issues of the Ming court.This ship went to sea, together with the reward to the overseas countries, but it cost a lot of money, and if it caused the southeastern provinces to erode, and only won a false name, it would indeed be an unprofitable deal.Nie Bing'an, the secretary of the household department, said in a group of intrigues: "The Yao family is a famous maritime merchant on Fujian Road, and he opposes the official family sending ships to the sea to reward the vassal country and receive the envoys. ”"You?"
Yao Minggong was stabbed by him, his heart was furious, and he angrily reprimanded: "Minister, do you think that your subordinates are as filthy as you?"
”The two actually quarreled in the waterfront hall, but instead put aside Wen Tiren and Li Deren, who proposed to build a ship and go to sea.It wasn't until Emperor Chongzhen snorted slightly that the two of them felt rude, calmed down, and still stared at each other.At this time, the hall was quiet, and all the ministers were waiting for Chongzhen's judgment to be arbitrary.Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the important ministers in front of him.He knew in his heart that Wen Tiren was just exercising power, and although Li Deren seemed to be mighty, he was just a squire in the military department, and he couldn't really be in charge of the soldiers.Although Chen Qingguo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sometimes helps Wen Tiren, he is not the help of his court, and the two look like they are separated from each other, not friends.Although Yao Minggong is a little annoying, however, the state has a Ming monarch and a direct minister, and Tang Taizong can still tolerate Wei Zheng.Emperor Chongzhen was born with a high talent, quite a little bit of desert north, and even collected the heart of Guanzhong, and loved to govern the palace extravagantly, Rao is so rich in the Ming Dynasty, and he receives hundreds of millions of taxes every year, and all kinds of money and food are used to be insufficient.Nothing else touched him, but the loss of wealth in the southeast made him a little suspicious of shipbuilding and going to sea to reward the countries.The cheers of the armies and the people outside suddenly rose to a height.The cheers broke Chongzhen's contemplation, he looked up and looked out, three thousand iron cavalry were passing in front of the Linshui Palace, this cavalry was all black-clad and black-armed, the high-headed horse in the west of the river under the crotch, everyone held a big gun in their hands, when passing through the Linshui Palace, the big gun was raised obliquely upward, and the head of the gun was shaking in white, very neat.In front of the three thousand cavalry is a general in silver helmet and silver armor, about twenty-five or sixteen, full of beard, grim face, he is also like the soldiers behind him obliquely holding a large gun, and the soldiers behind him are struggling to raise a cyan flag, with a big "Sun" character written on it."
This is the son of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Jixian."
Wen Tiren saw that the official family was silent, and looked up at the parade again, knowing that the official family did not want to make a decision on sending a fleet to sea to reward and lead the vassal state at this time, so he took the opportunity to introduce the guards and horses who passed through the Linshui Hall one after another.The Ming Dynasty is known as the 300,000 Beijing Army, in addition to garrisoning the Beijing Division, and has established the five armies, three thousand, and Shenji three major camps.Each of these three major camps has a hereditary general, and the five military camps are full of cronies of the Sun family and Yuan Chonghuan, who have been married for generations.Although the army of the Five Armies and other Beijing armies took turns to flow into Shunsuwei, they had always been under the command of the generals of the Yuan family and the Sun family, and the cabinet had also arranged for other generals to take important positions in the army of the Five Armies, and they were either excluded or died in the border friction with the Tatar State and the Waspur State, and the imperial court gradually recognized this pattern.Although the Ministry of War and the Cabinet have a lot of complaints about the camp of the five armies, the reputation of the camp of the five armies to ensure peace is the best among the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Sun Army, which is known as the first strong soldier in the Ming Dynasty.Chongzhen's face was quite complicated to accept the cheers of the guards and horses who participated in the school parade, and he suddenly turned his head to Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was accompanying him, and said, "Luo Aiqing, how old is this year?"
I remember, you've always been the commander of the three products, right?
”"Back to the emperor, after August, Weichen will be forty-two years old."
Luo Yangxing replied respectfully, on such a big scene, the emperor pays great attention to his age and grade, but he first avoids the real attack and does not answer the official rank, and it is not too late to see what the emperor means."
Well," Chongzhen nodded, and said after a moment of silence, "I heard that there is still a shortage of Zuo Governor in the Zuojun Governor's Mansion since Yuan Chonghuan was killed, so you can take office." ”......
