Chapter 34 Chapter 105 Letting Go Gently

The emperor suddenly decided to return to the capital (after Yanjing was promoted to the first line, Yanjing was called the capital, and Nanjing was called the capital), something big was bound to happen.Xia Xun couldn't care less about being friendly with Ming'er anymore, and immediately rushed to see the emperor, only to find out that An Nanguo had made a big mess after asking. Xia Xun felt a little silent when he heard this, and thought to himself: Sure enough, such a thing happened. It turned out that the cause of the incident was that someone took bribes to deceive the emperor, and then King Annanli used force to kill the sole heir of the Chen Dynasty.

Xia Xun was not too enthusiastic about taking the opportunity to directly rule Annan. Yan Congjian of the Ming Dynasty lamented when talking about Annan’s gain and loss: the first reason why the Ming Dynasty lost Annan was that the general Zhang Fujiu did not let the general Zhang Fujiu take control of Annan; ; The third is that the ministers of the Ming court will only be small and small, but they can't see the long-term benefits of keeping Annan. In fact, the problem is not just that simple.For example, Annan has established himself as a kingdom for four to five hundred years. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which replaced the Yuan Dynasty and directly took over the rule of the Liaodong administrative agency, the Ming Dynasty did not have any direct governance foundation from the central government for Annan; Problems, such as direct occupation, the implementation of county governance like the Central Plains was impossible due to the backward conditions at that time. Without the isolation and independence of their villages and villages, the officers and soldiers could not gather heavy troops when they arrived there, and guerrilla warfare was like scattered beans, unable to form a joint force.

As for some people, once they think of a place, their first instinct is to occupy it, which is a kind of hunger psychology caused by foreign bandits who cut their flesh and went crazy, just like some people who are afraid of starvation, even if they become billions A millionaire, no matter where he goes, he still has to prepare all kinds of food around him. Only in this way can he feel safe in his heart. Xia Xun has been sitting in a high position for several years, and the first thing to weigh in doing things is profit.Whether the country is prosperous or not, whether it is stable or not in the long run, has no direct relationship with the vastness of the territory. Sometimes it is a burden if it is too vast. Genghis Khan's country is vast enough, what is the result?

Historically, the Battle of Annan lasted for more than 30 years. During the more than 30 years, the Ming army fought in different places in the jungle, fighting against the sky and people, and suffered extremely heavy losses. Many famous officials and brave generals were there. It was a huge price. As a result, during the rule of Annan, it did not bring any benefits to the Ming court and the Ming country. On the contrary, the Ming government and the Baifu paid a huge price. At that time, the annual financial expenditures for transporting food, ensuring the troops stationed in Annan, and supplying the local people's livelihood exceeded the sum of the supplies for the northern and southern capitals at that time.Zhu Yuanjing, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, once said: The barbarians in the four directions and the small southern barbarians are limited to mountains and seas, and are secluded in a corner. The land they get is not enough to supply, and the people they get are not enough to command.If he doesn't think about himself and disturbs me, that's bad luck.He is not troubled by China, and it is not auspicious for me to launch an army to attack it.

This is a pragmatic idea of ​​a politician, not a consideration for posthumous fame.Annan is not Liaodong, and there is no fatal threat to the Ming court. If you hold it in your hand, the benefits you get are far less than the low cost of indirect control, just like later, tens of thousands of people in Britain and France can rule Southeast Asia without burdening themselves. You can also get the benefits you want. According to different environments and conditions, different strategies should be adopted. What must be in your own hands can be done. Let your father, brother, and son bury their bones in a foreign land, and let you use the hard-earned food and weave it. Don't you object if you send your distribution area to a foreign land, but you can't get back something that is beneficial to the country and the people?

If your border is in Yunnan, you can't make the country rich and the people strong, but can you get Annan?Next, do you think Myanmar is in the way and then win Myanmar?Then there are Champa, Laos, Siam (Thailand), Chenla (Khmer), and India. Every time you take a place, you always have to contact a newer area and a newer regime. development?I'm afraid that at that time, it will become a blind bear breaking corn, breaking a stick and throwing a stick (meaning that a blind bear walks into a cornfield, opens a corn and doesn't eat a few bites, then throws it away for another one, and finally throws away more than eating There are too many, which is a metaphor for getting twice the result with half the effort, and the gain is not worth the loss.), as long as there is an accident, it will cause a chain reaction like a domino, and everything obtained by paying huge financial resources and sacrifices will disappear like a cloud.

Xia Xun tends to control indirectly. When it is not profitable, there is a subordinate relationship that restrains them. When it is profitable, it can be used by me.He didn't want to turn Vietnam, the cemetery in the eyes of the American soldiers, into a cemetery where countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were buried. He couldn't get anything beneficial to the country and the people, so he still gave up reluctantly in the end. Annan has always been dominated by Chinese culture, using Chinese characters as the official script, Confucianism as the official doctrine, conducting imperial examinations, even learning Taoism, and customs and habits are also deeply influenced by China.In such a country, it is very convenient to find one or two agents.Therefore, it is enough to restrain it first with the strategy of combining hardness and softness, and then infiltrate it with cultural indoctrination!

Xia Xun's silence, in Zhu Di's view, was because of his worries about Annan's situation. Instead, he comforted him: "Wen Xuan doesn't need to worry, little Annan, you can't do anything tricky, and you can rest assured about Liaodong."I have said that my heart’s troubles in China have always come from the north. It is of great significance to manage Liaodong. If you can manage Liaodong well for me, even if there are a few clowns in Nanyang, they can be wiped out with the flick of a finger! Xia Xun hurriedly bowed and said yes, and said in his heart: No matter what, there will always be a fight over Annan's side. This battle will not be over for a year and a half. I will go back to Jinling by then. He decided to govern directly under Annan, and then advise the emperor to try his best to stabilize the rule, so as not to pay a heavy price, but in the end he got nothing.What the emperor said is true, China's heartache has always been in Liaodong. For now, I still put my mind on this side and make sure that there will be no problems in Liaodong!

The governor has returned to Liaodong. The timing of Xia Xun's return to Liaodong was just right, and Wanshiyu had almost dealt with the riot in Kaiyuan City. Thanks to Zhang Jun's full cooperation, and the Tatars suffered heavy losses in two consecutive battles, they currently have no force on the Eastern Front. Some tribes dare not act rashly even if they feel resentful. Tartar thigh trick. Wanshiyu's treatment was not insignificant. Many murderers who beat, smashed, looted and burned were directly caught by him on the street and executed on the spot. As soon as the riot started, Wanshiyu activated the emergency mechanism and implemented emergency measures similar to military control.The imperial court has relevant regulations. In the emergency state of suppressing rebellion, suppressing bandits, and strong enemy invasion, the local government has the right to handle special matters and special powers. Now, his scheming is not so sophisticated.

Liaodong originally only had a military government, but now there is an additional shogunate agency. As long as Zhang Jun has no objections, Wanshiyu's power can be implemented.Of course Zhang Jun would not have any objections. Xia Xunren hadn't returned yet, and the secret order had arrived. There were only six words to Wan Shiyu: Well done, well done! From Zhang Jun's point of view, this is the silent condemnation of the minister.At this time, he relied the most on the army, but Xia Xun didn't say a word to him, and even praised Wanshiyu. Isn't this dissatisfied with his weakness and tolerance?

As a result, Zhang Jun's attitude became tougher, and his change created conditions for him to establish his personal prestige virtually.You must know that the parties to the conflict this time are the children of the Liaodong military and the children of the Liaodong Han people. They take out one at random, and there is a general behind them or a long-standing Han family in Liaodong. Some families are as old as five generations. The civil strife in the Central Plains of the Ten Kingdoms fled to Liaodong to live under the Liao Kingdom. They have multiplied for four or five hundred years. Now they are in Liaodong, a force that no one dares to ignore. Zhang Jun was originally an officer in the capital of Liaodong. He worked under Shen Yong, and he was only famous inside the capital's yamen. His influence outside was not even comparable to those generals who directly led the troops. He has no prestige, even among the generals of the guards, he lacks control.When Xia Xun was here, he was still a follower. Xia Xun wanted to hand over the army to him. He had to manage it for a period of time before he could establish his prestige in the Liaodong army. Through this incident, the Liaodong military and the Liaodong clan gradually developed a good impression of him. Once they recognized a person, they would not have any conflicts with his orders. This laid the foundation for him to preside over Liaodong military affairs. As for a higher degree of obedience, long-term control of one party's power can naturally be formed. Shen Yong's mediocre talent who has ruled Liaodong by doing nothing can also recruit a group of party members after sitting in that position for a long time. He is so tough that he doesn't dare to confront him publicly, not to mention Zhang Jun is still a person who dares to do things. Therefore, with the concerted efforts of Zhang Jun and Wan Shiyu, the crisis was resolved completely. When Xia Xun returned to Liaodong, those who should be killed had already been killed, those who should be sentenced had already been sentenced, and the dust was settled. Today, Mo Ke, Director of Justice of Wanshiyu Ling, is continuing the investigation. Due to the chaos at the time, many of the initial participants in the conflict had died, and the official information was not comprehensive.And Zuo Dan and others were ordered by Xia Xun to provide some information to Mo Ke in the name of Jin Yiwei, but since they were mainly tracking and monitoring, some inferences made from the other party's contact and subsequent actions could not be used as direct evidence Therefore, Wanshiyu still needs a detailed investigation process if it wants to conduct a public trial against those with ulterior motives who deliberately provoke disputes. The Huaguna tribe only has more than one hundred people, not many people, but they defected to Daming in the name of vassal. Before there is any conclusive evidence, any unfavorable treatment of them will affect all vassal tribes. This is Xia Xun The reason why I have to deal with it carefully is not because Xiao Ying is a woman, and she is a good-looking woman, so I feel sorry for her. When Xia Xun returned to Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan's military and political circles, local celebrities, and even local tribal leaders rushed to greet him. Xia Xun came with Zheng He. When Zheng He came, the imperial court's will would be announced immediately. The temporary workers of the Liaodong shogunate can become official officials of the imperial court, of course happy; the Liaodong capital can be separated from the Shandong capital, and the entire yamen has been promoted, and everyone is happy.As for those tribal leaders, many of them were children of the clan who had been punished too severely by Wan Shiyu, came here reluctantly, and wanted to complain and sue Xia Xun. Unexpectedly, when Xia Xun returned to Liaodong, it was as if there had never been such a riot in Kaiyuan City that shocked even Sheng Jia. From the beginning to the end, he didn't mention this topic at all. Welcomed him back to the governor's yamen, Xia Xun just announced flatly: Eunuch Zheng has worked hard from afar, and today he will clean up the dust for his father, take a rest, and announce the imperial decree tomorrow.I am troubled by colleagues, gentry, and leaders to come to welcome me, Yang is very grateful!Today's feast, no drunk, no return!
