Chapter 288 Execute the generals of the six towns, abandon the benevolence and practice the art of domineering!

"The criminal minister is virtuous and ignorant, and does not know that the world is high and the earth is strong. He even despises His Majesty's methods, so he ends up in such a place now! He only asks His Majesty to be kind and give the criminal ministers a chance. The criminal ministers and others are willing to change their past mistakes, kill the enemy for His Majesty and make achievements!"

Wang Chengyun first crawled on the ground and begged for mercy honestly.

Tianqi said: "It's a pity that when I let several farmers train for half a month, each picking up a flintlock gun or firing gun, it can have a greater deterrent effect than you, the generals, the meaning of keeping them is actually not very good to me for the court. Even if you have practiced riding and shooting since childhood, you are already dispensable to me, and some people can replace you. So, I don't need to spare you."

After hearing this, Wang Chengyun was silent one-sided, and then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is determined to innovate, forcibly violate the will of the people of the world, and let the Ming Dynasty revive, and for this, he will abolish the military household system and even spend money to destroy me. Your Majesty is really good at it. Now that I can't beg for mercy, there is naturally no other way. But I want to tell Your Majesty that you are still doing things in reverse now, and sooner or later you will taste the bitter fruit."

Tianqi laughed: "I just realized that you all don't like the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation so much! Not to mention the so-called benevolent government and love for the people. They just say it nicely."

"Drag on! Lingchi, kill the nine clans!"

As Apocalypse said this, he directly ordered a stern command.

He was too lazy to talk to Wang Chengyun and others.

Wang Chengyun and six generals and two governors were dragged down as a result.

The abolition of the military household system is a new policy that must be implemented for the Emperor Apocalypse. Apocalypse does not want anyone to stop this new policy.

Because the apocalypse, which has already relied on the Industrial Department to taste the sweetness, is impossible to allow the Industrial Department to go bankrupt due to insufficient manpower and iron ore raw materials.

The reform of the garrison and the abolition of the military households system was to allow the court to control more manpower.

To mine more iron ore, especially in the exploitation of foreign iron ore, changes are needed in external systems.

For this reason, Chen Zizhuang, who has become the Minister of Rites, began to review documents to prove that Hamkyung, where the Maoshan area is located, should be the former place of Xianzhou in China, and submitted a memorial to request His Majesty the Emperor to send a minister to report to Korea and take back the place.

Chen Zizhuang suddenly made such a suggestion, which was naturally to facilitate the court to mine the iron ore in Maoshan.

According to the view reached by the ministers of the reformers in front of the imperial court, priority should be given to the mining of iron ore outside the pass, and the first one should be the Maoshan Iron ore.

To mine the iron ore in Maoshan, Chen Zizhuang thought of simply taking it back to Xianzhou first, so he went into this sutra.

In addition, because Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, agreed with the court's view that the mining of minerals outside the pass, he also cooperated with the local memorial to restrict the mining of minerals inside the pass and encourage mining of minerals outside the pass. He also said that this is also to facilitate the digging of benefits outside the pass and to facilitate immigration and border control.

This has been agreed upon by the ministers of the Apocalypse and the Department of Control and Preparation.

Therefore, these two memorials were quickly approved, and the cabinet ministers and nine ministers discussed the matter, and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to verify that the mining areas that need to be closed within the customs.

After these two memorials were approved and transferred to the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue, they soon became known to the court officials, and caused an uproar.

In particular, Chen Zizhuang requested the regaining of Xianzhou's memorial and the commentary mentioned in the memorial that friendship with the Gentiles should not damage the property of our ancestors and the benefits of China, and then treat the country that knows etiquette and the principles of etiquette and the view that the Celestial Empire has the right to educate foreign barbarians and make them more civilized.

This made many Confucian ministers in the court realize that Chen Zizhuang's implication was to respect China alone and fight against foreign barbarians, and it was obvious that if the Li Dynasty did not agree to return to Xianzhou, it would raise troops to teach a lesson.

In the eyes of Confucians, this is simply a domineering policy of military and military affairs.

Therefore, Liu Zongzhou reported to Tianqi at the court's discussion: "Your Majesty, Da Zongbo cleverly said that Xianzhou was the old land of China. But in fact, Xuanmiao had already stated that Xianzhou was originally a place for distant barbarians to argue, not the land of the dynasty. He said this clearly because he was intentional and clever to seize the land of other countries. This behavior was simply contrary to the virtue of good neighbors and friendship! It would lose the demeanor of our heavenly dynasty!"

"Your Majesty! In the past, Xuan Temple was just a foolish minister, and did not know that Xianzhou was the old land of China. I have the imperial certificates left by Cheng Temple as evidence. Chengzu said that the land of Li is also my own country, so what is there to argue? Chengmu also asked Li's family for the imperial edicts from the people of Xianzhou as evidence. Why did we abandon the land of our ancestors because of our neighbors and friendship?"

Chen Zizhuang said that and looked at Liu Zongzhou.

Liu Zongzhou argued with reason: "Even if Cheng Temple says this place should be owned by the Ming Dynasty, what's wrong with giving it to Li, Li is just a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty."

As he said, Liu Zongzhou said: "Your Majesty, since Xianzhou has long been owned by the Li Kingdom, he should not ask for it anymore, and he will only cause disputes. This is not in line with the way of the saints! In my opinion, it is better to give the land of Jianzhou to the Jurchens, so that he can establish his own vassal state and withdraw the establishment of the Nuer Gandusi. He will stop fighting! The strength of the country lies in virtue, but not in greatness, and the court does not need to send troops to garrison these barbarian lands and consume national treasury. In addition, this is also a kind of intention to treat foreign countries."

Chen Zizhuang asked directly: "The state dynasty has the strength to annex and sinicize other countries and make them a part of our China. Why should we treat it with courtesy?"

What Chen Zizhuang said is that I had the strength to oppress him, so why did I still respect him?

"Because of Ren!"

Liu Zongzhou answered Chen Zizhuang's question sternly and said, "If you govern with virtue, you should practice benevolent! Like Da Zongbo, if you annex his country because his country is weak, wouldn't it be contrary to the benevolent?"

"For those who have not entered China, they are all barbarians and traitors. Performing benevolent ways will only raise Zhongshan wolf! In the past, the Northern Song Dynasty was very kind to Xixia, and he did not see that Xixia did not invade the Northern Song Dynasty. If Xianzhou is not taken over, Jianzhou will not be needed. If the barbarians in the future want to occupy Liaodong, in the view of Zongxian, can they also want Liaodong?"

Chen Zizhuang said, then turned to Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty, the land of our ancestors should not be abandoned. As for benevolence, I believe that it should be used only by the people of our dynasty, not by foreign barbarians! Otherwise, they will raise Zhongshan wolf. Because the barbarians have always feared power and did not admire virtue, and if they do not annex and assimilate them first, they will inevitably deviate from the disaster of backlash!"

Tianqi nodded: "What Chen Qing said is very true. I have approved what you reported in the past. What we are discussing today is to ask your court to recommend the ministers to North Korea, not whether this proposal is feasible."

Liu Zongzhou really felt that the court did this inadvertently in Confucian benevolence and was a typical domineering, which was seriously inconsistent with his concept of "governing with virtue" that is, moral governance, so he continued to advise and block: "Your Majesty! I would like to summon the envoys sent by the Li Kingdom to ask if this matter is the domineering strategy of the Celestial Dynasty! Your Majesty, even if you want to take back Xianzhou, the court should first understand Li's attitude."

Chen Zizhuang said: "Why do you care about what others think when taking back the old land of our ancestors? It is best to send it back on your own initiative. If you refuse, you will do nothing more than a matter of war!"

After hearing this, Liu Zongzhou immediately said, "Your Majesty, I impeach the great master Chen Zizhuang and rebelled. I only know the art of dominating the barbarians. I am abusing the country and the king. I should dismiss him!"
