I am the king of the dead

After Fatih achieved the initial victory, he began to constantly deploy the legion, preparing to expand the results of the battle. After Wang Yue's victory in Huoxun City, the Ottoman Kingdom's legion became a long snake formation in the eastern province, that is This fleeting opportunity was seized by Wang Yue, and he defeated the Ottoman army. If the Yeniceri army hadn't arrived in time to close the front line, Wang Yue's counterattack would have been enough to swallow the eastern provinces.

Defeat the strong with the weak, and win by fighting.

How to reward such a feat?

"I don't think there is any problem." Boyan Timur was the first to express his opinion. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and he also issued the golden seal that was awarded by Ming Dynasty for all seals. In the entire Western Regions, everyone believed that Kang was the Ming Dynasty. The expeditionary army won the battle, Kang Guo is a vassal state, and there is nothing to reward, so I just ask Daming to reward it.

Kang Guo may disappear at any time, but Daming will not just say it is gone.

"If you have any doubts, you can speak up." Wang Fu stood with his hands behind his back, and kept answering questions. For example, a counselor asked whether their children and grandchildren could ask Daming for titles if they gained military service in the future. There were Tatar officials in Ming Dynasty, and there were also Tatars who were appointed as marquises to answer.

When it was time to vote, more than two-thirds of the people agreed. Wang Fu picked up a small hammer, tapped it on the copper tripod, wrote his name on the post, sealed the post with wax, and sealed it. He entered into the golden box held by the waiting maid. This box was locked and opened only when he arrived at the Lan Palace, and Yu Ye got the seal first.

As for whether to get the seal first, or find someone else to get the seal, it will not be under Wang Fu's control.

What Wang Fu held in his hand was the imperial pen made by the Bureau of Military Warfare of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was an item that Wang Yue brought back to Kang Guo this time when he returned to the court.

"The second thing." Wang Fu looked around and said, "The two and thirteen prefectures of Kang State changed their Chinese names, such as Tashkent, which was renamed Dawan, Ayimi City, which was renamed Anxi Prefecture, and Shymkent, which was renamed Baishui. Zhouzhou, etc., and the nine surnames of Zhaowu restored the Han surnames, and the Turkic tribes and the Oala tribes changed the Han surnames.”

There are two thirteen prefectures, because the official documents of the state of Kang are all in Chinese, which leads to a problem, that is, the administrative chaos caused by the conflict of place names. For example, Tashkent was renamed Dawan. In the local area, almost all the indigenous people call it The city was called Dawan. After Timur conquered it, it was renamed Tashkent, but everyone still called him Dawan. This was administrative chaos.

And Wang Fu changed the names of these places, not aimlessly, but in accordance with the names changed by the Western Regions Governor's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.

For example, Zelmez was called Gumo Prefecture at the beginning of its establishment, because that city was established when Datang established the Protectorate in the Western Regions. He has always called that name, and even the name of Zelmez is a translation Transliteration after the word Gumo.

As for the restoration of the nine surnames of Zhaowu and the change of the Han surnames by the Turkic tribes and the Oala tribes, Wang Fu had planned for a long time.

"I have no objection." Ashina and Huo said cheerfully, Ashina and Huo's family, but there is an imperial decree from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Huo had wanted to do it a long time ago, but he had to wait for the Emperor Ming to give him a new surname.

Boyan Timur thought for a while that all four of his sons had Chinese surnames, and said with a smile, "I don't object either."

In the future, no one will be able to laugh at Boyan Timur's son's Han surname, because they all have Han surnames.

"I don't object." Gegan Taiji didn't really want to agree, but after thinking about it, it doesn't matter. Chuoros doesn't object, so it's his turn to object?

Even if it is the honorable Chuoros family of the various tribes of Oala, if you count it further, it is just a man slave who herds horses in the back mountain. There is nothing noble about this surname. Sweating and not taking it off, now in Tianjin Wei eats and drinks spicy food, and my son has a right lapel.

Shi Heng especially likes to refer to the Wala people as horse slaves, because Choros itself means horse slaves.

Wang Fu began to answer questions again, and then signaled to everyone to start voting. This time, only half of the votes agreed, and the remaining half thought it was good to be so messy. Wang Fu did not drop the hammer, but just signed his name and sent it to Lan Gong. If you also agree first, then proceed, if you also disagree first, then discuss again.

"The third thing." Wang Fu hesitated and said: "I propose to set up a second court outside the Advisory Council to explain the decrees and collect public opinions. The decree of the court, behind closed doors, is inconsistent."

Building a car behind closed doors, and going out in the same way, Gai said that the method is the same, which means that the car is built behind closed doors, and it is very suitable for use, because the method used is the same. It was mentioned in Zhu Xi's commentary on "The Doctrine of the Mean · Or Questions", in the Song Dynasty , behind closed doors, already has the meaning of making its own decisions, not based on the actual situation, but relying solely on subjective imagination.

Supervision is something that must be perfected in the construction of the country, and the Second Advisory Council is the method that Wang Fu thought of. It needs to provide a promotion channel for the bottom talents in Kang country, and at the same time supervise the councilors. This is the administrative system.

The reason why Wang Fu hesitated was because this proposal was a monitoring mechanism he formulated according to the situation in Kang. The second court has 1 advantages, but only one disadvantage, which is that it will hurt the interests of the counselors.

Who wants to be stared at and pointed at every day?

After Wang Fu made this proposal, the domed auditorium was silent.

9Chapter 17 Give up some power in exchange for long-term existence

Wang Fu knew that it was not easy to implement the Second Court. This was putting ropes around the necks of the counselors. How could a cat be willing to tie a bell for itself?

Wang Fu toured around, thought for a while and said: "The Second Court of Consultation has selected 110 seven people from the two thirteen mansions in total. To refute, supervise, and impeach illegal counselors and officials of the two houses, to inspect local areas, and to make judgments on major matters, and to make decisions on minor matters."

"Kang Guo is the country of Kang people. We all know that peace is hard-won, but everyone knows the situation in Kang country better than I do."

"We have Oirats, Mughals, Turks, Persians, big cannibals and even some Indians. We can't even clearly define the boundaries between each other. It's usually a kind of "you have me, and I have me." You, among the various tribes, even because of the aquatic plants, they have been attacking each other all year round and have formed a feud."

"Our beliefs are different. Some people believe in Sharia, some people believe in Changshengtian, some people believe in Buddhism, and some people respect Confucianism. In Huoxun City, there are several tribes who believe in Nestorianism, because Faith has waged countless wars, many people have died, and a lot of blood has been shed, so that we worship the majesty of God even more."

"No matter what kind of gods are enshrined in Kangguo, all the temples hope to fight for some temple privileges in order to evade taxes. Some of the counselors present are also actively promoting this matter."

"The contradictions and conflicts of taxation, religion, lords, and power will show up after Kang's stability is a little bit, and then there will be fierce internal strife. In the end, Kang's country will collapse amidst such internal strife. I hope that through as gentle as possible The way to reconcile this kind of conflict and contradiction is for the long-term stability of the Kang country."

"Actually, we can completely ask for it, hereditary will not replace it."

"I'm done talking."

Wang Fu made it very clear about the selection, number, power, purpose of establishment, and conflicts to be reconciled of the Second Advisory Council. The degree of kingship in Kang is very low, and religion is still the biggest obstacle restricting the development of this land. In the absence of Jedi Tiantong and the struggles and speculations that have weakened the influence of religion for more than a thousand years, after the threat of life and death disappears, these contradictions will tear Kang to pieces.

The Kingdom of Timur was in full swing in Timur's hands, and Timur even had the extravagant hope of going east to crusade against Ming Dynasty. You must know that at that time, Emperor Taizong Wen of the Ming Dynasty was in the country, and he liked the emperor himself very much.

But once Timur died, whether the Timur kingdom was internal strife or internal strife, the internal conflicts tore the entire Timur kingdom apart. Today's Timur kingdom has gone south to bully the Tianzhu people, and it seems to have used With great speed, the domination was completed.

Wang Fu's meaning is very clear, give up part of the current power in exchange for the long-term existence of the regime, and the nobles can also follow the hereditary succession of the Kang Kingdom. This is Wang Fu's very good expectation.

In the domed auditorium of the Advisory Council, there were finally some voices of discussion. It seemed that they were afraid of Duke Kang's authority. Everyone kept their voices very low. Wang Fu didn't speak any more, but waited quietly.

After communicating with Heshuo, Boyan Timur said, "I don't agree."

For an objection without any reason, Boyan Timur didn't want to say anything more, let alone confront Wang Fu head-on, but just expressed his position. The reason is clear to everyone, and it hurts their interests.

He Shuo agreed, "I don't agree."

Ashinahehuo, as the father of the Duke and Duchess of Kang, thought over and over again and said: "I don't agree, I think we are doing pretty well now, and there is no need to make extra troubles."

Gegan Taiji's face relaxed a bit. If someone jumped out to be the young bird, Gegan would not become Kang Guogong's target. He also shook his head and said, "I don't agree."

"Okay, let's vote." Wang Fu smiled and said, "The auditorium is the place to talk and express your opinions. You don't have to be afraid of my authority. I can sit in this position because of your trust in me." , Well, everyone can express their views now."

"Those who agree go to the left hall, those who disagree go to the right hall."

The left hall is empty, the right hall is overcrowded, and the dome hall is empty. Even though Wang Fu has tried his best to persuade him, no one is willing to harm his own interests.

There are individuals who betray a class, but never a collective who betrays a class.

In fact, the counselors are very nervous. The last time they voted unanimously was to allow Duke Kang to stay in Kang. This time, they voted unanimously to block Duke Kang’s government order. They were afraid of Duke Kang’s authority, and they also wanted to protect their own interests.

Wang Fuman said with a smile: "All come back, all come back."

"You don't have to worry too much. I, Wang Fu, am a person who keeps my word. I have already made my word, so I won't break the rules casually. This is an immature idea of ​​mine. Since everyone disagrees, then This proposal cannot be made, and I will not bring it up in the future.”

Wang Fu picked up the proposal from the Second Council of Consultants, tore it into several parts, and threw it into another iron box, saying: "I said it is invalid, and it is invalid. Once a gentleman says something, it is hard to follow."

Wang Fu sorted out all the proposals, lit a fire folder, threw them into the iron box, burned the torn up proposals, and then carefully checked the lock of the golden box, indicating to Heshuo to take Followed by the correcting officer, he sent the golden box to the Lan Palace.

"When you send it to the Lan Palace, it's still a maid's seal. It's better to bring the seal directly to save trouble." He Shuo picked up the golden box and said slightly complaining.

Wang Fu said with a smile, "Go."

"Yes." This is not the first time that He Shuo complained. He didn't even look at it when he took it to the Lan Palace, and let the maids stamp it at will, but Wang Fu just gently asked him to continue sending it every time.

"Duke Kang is angry?" Boyan Timur asked Wang Fu tentatively with some apprehension.

Wang Fu shook his head, looked at the flames, and said in a dazed way: "I'm not angry. Even if the decree is not supported by everyone, even if it is enforced, the result is nothing but obedience and decree. A decree that cannot be implemented is Everyone is not happy with a piece of paper, and I have no good solution."

"I'm not angry."

Boyan Timur looked at Wang Fu's face for a long time. Wang Fu was serious and dignified, with a lot of magnanimity, his emotions were invisible, and he could not see any emotions from his face. Said: "Really not?"

"No." Wang Fu waved his hand and said, "Didn't you choose 72 beauties for me? Ashinayi is coming back soon, come and take a look with me."

Wang Fu is really not angry. As the Duke of Kang, as a man, he must be responsible to all the people of Kang who trust him. Therefore, considering the national conditions of Kang, he must propose the Second Council of Consultation, which is the only way to go in the process of building the country. , but as Daming's pier and Yuanhou, Wang Fu didn't want Kang to be strong enough to threaten Daming.

As the discussion posts of the Second Court of the Advisory Council were completely burned, Wang Fu could probably guess the future situation of Kang Guo.

With the gradual reduction of external threats, the contradictions among the various classes in Kang country will continue to escalate in small frictions, and finally evolve into uncontrollable conflicts, and finally in this conflict, Kang country collapsed.

When Kang Country was struggling, it seemed like a good choice for Daming to intervene. Even if it became a place like Yunnan and Jiaozhi that was guarded by the Duke's Mansion, it would be a good end for Kang Country.

Boyan Timur is sure that Wang Fu is really not angry, because Wang Fu has really carefully selected many beauties, among which the best three, Wang Fu intends to send to the capital, whether His Majesty wants to send it to Prince Xiang's mansion? As for His Majesty's business, whether to send him or not depends on whether Kang Guo has a heart of obedience.

In the above chapters of Fangwu, beauty is also a kind of Fangwu.

When Wang Fu was selecting the beauties, he whispered to Boyan Timur: "We have a large number of prisoners in this battle between Kang and the Ottoman Kingdom. After the castration of Kang, these prisoners will be sent to Ming Dynasty To be eunuchs, this transaction also involves the future human trade in Kang Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty only wants eunuchs, let the Persians and the big cannibals catch eunuchs, and the big cannibals are especially good at picking bells."

"We don't want to do it, because the slaves and eunuchs actually earn hard money, because these people will resist, but we do intermediary, the risk is low, and the return is high."

"This business is a dirty business, find a Persian merchant to act as a broker."

"Let's keep the child in Kangguo. The woman will check that she is not pregnant or sick. If she sells it to Daming, she can sell it for the same price as an eunuch. Then send someone to communicate with the Ottoman lords. If they refuse to cooperate, they will send Difu Tess is those secret documents, give some of them to Fatih, and make a big statement."

"After this battle in the eastern Ottoman province, I'm afraid it will be chaotic for a long time. If we don't do it, some people will do it."

"I want half of the proceeds, and you can share the remaining half."

The more Boyan Timur listened, the more terrified he became, and the more he listened, the more his calves turned. It was okay to ask him to kill people. He was trading people like livestock, and he said so calmly, which really made him a little frightened. According to Wang Fu's method Come on, Kang Guo, Kang Gong, and all the counselors are clean, but the profits are all in their hands.

Are all scholars in Ming Dynasty so ruthless?

"What's the matter?" Wang Fu looked at Boyan Timur and asked suspiciously: "Is this difficult for Boyan to deal with? Or are you worried about Daming? Don't worry, I will communicate with Daming;"

"I still think I want too much? Daming needs me to communicate, right? If you think I have too much, you can communicate by yourself;"

"Or maybe it's Boyan, you are extravagant before you get rich, and you have the high moral disadvantage that you can only have in Ming Dynasty?"

"No, no, it's not hard to do." Boyan Timur waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I just think that Kang Guogong is more suitable to be a bandit than us."

Wang Fu was also happy when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "What you said is neither from Daming nor from Kang, why should I show my pity to my enemies?"

"Kang Guogong is right." Boyan Timur wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked with some uneasiness: "Is Kang Guogong really not angry because of the dome auditorium?"

If the scholars are ruthless, how can it be their business?As long as Wang Fu engages in conspiracy and tricks, they are no rivals.

Wang Fu denied it again and said: "No, I have repeated it three times. If I am angry, I will definitely say it."

The speed of Wang Fujin's offerings in Kang country is not very fast. The laying of official roads and post roads in Daming is a very normal thing, but in Kang country where there is no money to do such extravagant things, Wang Fu does Thinking, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and this batch of squares became much smoother after they arrived at Luntai.

Zhu Qiyu received Wang Fu's memorabilia through Gelu, and Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved Wang Fu's memorandum, and made a high degree of affirmation of what Wang Fu had done. In the imperial edict to Wang Fu, Zhu Qiyu rarely expressed his respect for Liu Fu. He and his two children apologized for not taking good care of them.

I will raise your wife, so don’t worry about it. Except for some special meanings in the legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, most of the time, it is a very serious matter, which represents faith and righteousness.

After reading the imperial edict written by His Majesty, Xing'an said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Liu and the two children have no worries about food and clothing. This is the most we can do. At that time, Duke Kang was not a Duke, and he is not as good as today. This is the same thing, he works among the Wala people, and we take care of him too much, isn't Kang Guogong even more dangerous?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "That's what you said, but Wang Fu went through life and death for the sake of the King of Ming Dynasty. In addition to material conditions, I should care more about one or two things. It is the lack of care that makes some ambitious people take advantage of the loopholes." .”

Xing'an could only say helplessly: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief? How can there be so many perfect things without regrets."

"Liu's taking care of Wang Yongzhen, is there any kind of treatment?" Zhu Qiyu didn't continue talking, but asked about the affairs of the Duke's Mansion. He didn't take care of Wang Yongzhen well before, and Wang Yongzhen must not make any mistakes.

Xing'an raised his hand and said: "Mr. Liu came from a famous family. I have no doubts in my heart, and my spirit has improved a lot. I have been taking care of the prince all day, and the prince has gained two catties. After all, he is the blood of Duke Kang."

The biggest doubt in Liu's heart these years is that her husband is a national traitor, and he is a very capable national thief, which makes Liu sleepless. After she hadn't been entrusted to others, those rumors and gossips in the past could no longer hurt her in the slightest.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang Fu's memorabilia and became more and more satisfied. He said to Xing'an: "What Wang Fu did in the northwest is not useless. Look at the eastern Ottoman provinces this time. If Wang Fu was not doing things in the northwest, The northwest of Ming Dynasty at this time has long been in chaos like the eastern provinces of the Ottomans, and once it becomes chaotic, it will not be stable within ten years."

As early as before the Battle of the Capital, Zhu Qiyu had a very deep understanding of military disasters. When the Ottoman eastern provinces will settle down, God probably doesn't know.

"It's the eunuch business, Wang Fu, Wang Fu, you are worthy of being a scholar." Zhu Qiyu looked at the cold words in Wang Fu's book, and when he couldn't find an appropriate adjective, he described it as a scholar, which was just right.

Zhu Qiyu looked out the window, stood up abruptly, and asked solemnly, "Huh? What happened to Shijingchang?"

At the Shijingshan Shijing Factory in the southwest of the capital, the smoke and dust billowed and covered the sky, half of the sky was shrouded in smoke and dust, and Zhu Qiyu even heard the exclamation from the street.

"It should be water." Xing'an closed the window for His Majesty, hurriedly walked outside the martial arts hall, and asked about the situation.

Chapter 948 A hero is a hero, not a tool of power

Shijing Factory was first built at the end of the 14th year of Orthodox. After two years of construction and production, it continued to expand in 12 years. By June of 12 in Jingtai, it occupied an area of ​​more than 1 on the Shijing Mountain outside Xizhimen. One hundred mu of land, bigger than ten imperial palaces, has five divisions and one bureau under its jurisdiction, Iron and Steel Division, Coal Well Division, Charcoal Division, Driving Division, Artillery Division, and Bingzhan Bureau. Constructing and imperial silver coins, Jingtai Tongbao, etc., is the largest iron and steel intermodal official factory in the Ming Dynasty, with more than [-] resident craftsmen, and nearly [-] craftsmen's families live in Jiangcheng Coal and Steel Park.

Shijing Factory represents the visible and tangible national policy of Daming to re-establish official factories. It is the largest carbon factory in Ming Dynasty, the largest commercial carbon supply factory, the largest energy supply office in Jingshi and Beizhili, and owns the The first charcoal furnace, the largest steel factory and finished steel product supply factory, and the charcoal furnace and converter of Shijing Factory were designed and built by Zhu Qiyu and Xu Siqi in the Bingzhan Bureau.

Shijing Factory is of great significance to Daming.

And now, Shijing Factory is on fire.

Xing'an can't find out what's going on, because Shijing Factory is currently organizing fire fighting.

"I want to go over and have a look. Lu Zhong ordered a thousand horses to follow me to Shijingchang." Zhu Qiyu stood up and gave orders to Lu Zhong.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong knelt on the ground without saying a word. This was the first time that Lu Zhong acted so boldly in disobedience.

Xing'an hurriedly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shijing Factory has nearly a million catties of gunpowder. If you go there now, you may be in danger."

The Gunpowder Department is Lu Zhong's worry.

Lu Zhong, as His Majesty's eagle dog, disobeying His Majesty's order is a capital crime, but putting His Majesty in danger is also a capital crime. Waiting for death, Lu Zhong chose to disobey, which is not a difficult choice for Lu Zhong. He is strong, able to fight a hundred emperors, but he can't shoot, his bounden duty is to protect His Majesty's safety.

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback when he heard the words, of course he can say that the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty can go, they are all human beings, why can't he, the emperor, go?

But if something really happened to his emperor at this moment, his new policies would be nothing more than a fleeting cloud, and the great Ming being great again would be nothing but a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.

Jingtai’s Zhengfu in the 11th year has just reached the level of Zhengfu in the first year of Yongle, the Daming Navy is dredging the sea in the West, Yuan Gongfang became the king of the mountain in the country of Japan to ensure that Japanese silver entered the Ming Dynasty, the development of Jilong Island is in progress, and the king of Tatar The re-opening of the Western Regions and Gansu has just been changed to the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions Xingdusi in Luntai. Duke Jun of Jiaozhi has just passed away, and Li Chengwen of the old port has just entered the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu picked up a golden yellow sword from the sword stand behind him, stood in front of Lu Zhong, and said very seriously: "Lu Zhong, I will give you the Yongle Sword, and I will take full responsibility for the inspection of this matter. Xing'an, let Li Yongchang With Fanzi Assistant, no matter where you find, even if you find Tai'an Palace, you will never tolerate it, and investigate to the end!"

"Call Tianzi Tiqi here."

Lu Zhong took the Yongle sword and said in a vibrating voice: "You will live up to your fate!"
