The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Above the court.

The debate continues!

After all, civil servants and gentry are not fools, so they don't know the truth.

Even if you, Tang Hao, use force to coerce the Japanese leader Ashikaga Yoshimi, give you perjury, and give you the opportunity to attack dissidents, you can't even take yourself seriously!

Damn it, it's almost done. What else do you want to do, Tang Hao?

Is it possible that you still want to take advantage of the situation and send troops to the Japanese country, giving you a great opportunity to make achievements?

Go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dreams!

Therefore, when the young emperor asked what to do with the Japanese country, whether to raise an army to question the perpetrators, or what to do, all the gentry in the dynasty were opposed to it without exception.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese country has been paying tribute to me, the Ming Dynasty, since the Yongle period. Over the years, the two countries have had friendly trade exchanges, and the joint trade has never ceased, so there can be no more war!"

Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said.

Ashikaga Yoshivi touched his head to the ground and asked again.

"I am just reminding Master Tianguan not to cite ancestral teachings at every turn. This so-called country without conquests is not the original intention of Emperor Taizu Gao, let alone a tool for you to protect the Japanese country. Who dares to use it like this? Who is truly brainless!”

This time, the thief Zhongshan Hou really gave them a big problem!

Liu Jian looked at Tang Hao coldly, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Now that the vassal country is in trouble and the people are in dire straits, the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain country, should send troops to help no matter what, right?

"In the fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Japanese pirates invaded Haiyan, Kanpu and other maritime counties in Fujian Province. The common people were killed and injured!"

It is true that he, Liu Jian, is considering the overall situation and continues to maintain joint trade between the two countries. This is a mutually beneficial policy that benefits the country and the people!

However, the only disadvantage is those damn Japanese pirates entrenched in the coastal areas!

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar!

"However, anyone with a little bit of brains knows that this "country without conquest during the 15th Five-Year Plan" is not simply "equal treatment", but there are differences."

"For example, some of the "Fifteen Countries Without Conquest" have been vassals of successive Chinese dynasties for a long time, such as Chenla, Siam, Champa and other countries. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they established a tribute system with the Chinese dynasty. Therefore, Taizu Among the "countries not to be conquered in the fifteen years" designated by Emperor Gao, except for Korea and Japan, they are all traditional vassals of China since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Since they are tributary countries, there is no need to conquer them. "

"You said that a temporary strategy is a temporary strategy. Who do you think, Tang Hao, you dare to represent Taizu Emperor Gao?"

No one expected that Ashikaga Yoshimi, the Japanese envoy, would openly request the Ming Dynasty to send troops!

In an instant, Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng understood Tang Hao's plan!

Liu Jian chose silence, and Tang Hao turned his attention to the next true king of the court, Tianguan Ma Wensheng.

"Is this what Mr. Yuanfu calls friendly trade?"

What's more, it is even more undesirable to go on an expedition to sea, wasting people and money!

I really underestimated him!

Ashikaga Yoshivi suddenly trembled with fright when he heard this unfamiliar name, as if he recalled the fear of being dominated by waterboarding!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the current situation in Japan is in chaos!"

"In the eighth year of Hongzhi's reign, Japanese pirates raided Ningbo and Taizhou and burned down the officers and soldiers' houses!"

"Lord Soken, whether you can believe Ashikaga Yoshimi's words or not is not your decision alone!"

This voice was very sincere and emotional, and the little emperor felt a little carried away when he heard it.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao could only turn his attention to Tang Hao, showing a helpless expression.

It would be false to say that I am not aggrieved, but what can I do?

Tang Hao looked at Ashikaga Yoshimi calmly and said with a smile: "Ashikaga Masashi, please briefly describe the situation in Japan."

By sending troops, he fulfilled the wishes of the thief Zhongshan Marquis and gave him the opportunity to make contributions!

This Marquis of Zhongshan is more ambitious than anyone else!

"In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Japanese pirates invaded Jinzhou, plundered property, killed and captured people, and committed all kinds of evil!"

"Since the Japanese country is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, we, the Ming Dynasty, naturally have the obligation to go and bring order to the chaos!"

"Yes! This is the ancestral teaching!" Ma Wensheng answered simply.

Considering the overall situation, the exploration and cooperation trade is more fragrant!

"Your Majesty, during the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao designated the Japanese country as a "country without conquests." This is the ancestral precept of Emperor Taizu Gao. It has been followed by all dynasties. We cannot break the rules in our dynasty!"

Don't make trouble. Do you really think that everyone is a fool and will listen to Ashikaga Yoshivi's one-sided words and let Tang Hao send troops to Japan?

Not sending troops would violate the etiquette and laws that civil servants and gentry have always adhered to, and would also damage the prestige of the Ming Dynasty as the "Celestial Kingdom"!

The Huayi tribute system has always existed since the emergence of a unified dynasty in the Central Plains!

"After all, our country does not know the internal situation of Japan. If there is discord between the Ashikaga clan and the Ouchi clan, does that prove that Ashikaga Masashi's words are not credible?"

"His Majesty the Emperor, the people of Great Japan are also His Majesty's subjects!"

In fact, this veteran of the Five Dynasties has always been very tough and not afraid of anyone. Even in the face of Liu Jian, he dared to scold him, let alone Tang Hao, a reckless man!

"It is true that in the past, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the compilation of the "Huangming Ancestral Instructions" and announced that fifteen overseas countries, including Korea, Japan, Da Liuqiu, Xiaoliu Qiu, Annan, Chenla, Siam, and Champa, were listed as "inappropriate" "Conquer the country", warning future generations not to conquer the country at will."

Tang Hao looked around, and finally looked at Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

By borrowing the words of Ashikaga Yoshimi, the Japanese envoy, and asking the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help, it became justifiable for him, Tang Hao, to send troops to the Japanese country, and even occupied the right name!

"Therefore, the so-called "no conquest" is nothing more than a temporary strategy to give enough diplomatic space and wait for the internal battle to be completed before further considering foreign policy. Whether it is Korea or Japan, Emperor Taezu Gao listed it as A country without conquest is nothing more than a temporary solution.”

"Master Tianguan!" Tang Hao's voice gradually became colder, and he looked directly at Ma Wensheng with a sharp gaze, "I give you face, then you continue, don't be shameless!"

Tang Hao sneered: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these Japanese bastards have never stopped plundering and harassing coastal areas!"

General Secretary Zhang Fuhua said.

Seeing this situation, Ma Wensheng's expression froze, and then he sat back angrily.

"Who am I? If I have any ability, you can try it!"

It would be okay if the Ming Dynasty didn't know, but now the Japanese envoys have spoken. If you don't send troops, you will be sorry for the tributes they have paid for so many years, and even more sorry for your status as the emperor of tomorrow!

"..."

"In the 17th year of Yongle, more than 2,000 Japanese pirates raided Liaodong, killing and plundering many people!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"When you said this, have you ever considered the people along the coast of Ming Dynasty who have suffered from the plunder of Japanese pirates?"

Even a fool can see that Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao is getting ready to go crazy.

Faced with Tang Hao's harsh accusations, Liu Jian moved his lips several times to refute, but in the end he chose to remain silent.

"There was a factional dispute within the shogunate. The tenth shogunate Ashikaga Yoshisai was exiled, and the powerful ministers supported the eleventh shogunate Ashikaga Yosumi. The two sides fought endlessly. As a result, the shogunate's control over all parts of the world increased dramatically. On the big day The people are in dire straits now!”

"You just said that I, the Ming Dynasty, don't know anything about the Japanese state. In fact, that's not entirely true. At least the Japanese envoy in front of me still knows about it!"

Tianguan Ma Wensheng said so.

"I sincerely request His Majesty the Emperor to help, bring order to the chaos, bring justice to the people, and send the king's troops to the Japanese country to quell the civil strife and save all the people from disaster!"

"Even if you, Liu Jian, don't know anything about military matters, even if you, Liu Jian, think about the overall situation, you should never say the word "friendly"!"

"Your Majesty, the truth about the Japanese mission has yet to be verified!"

After all, this thief is famous for being a brainless and reckless man. Who knows if he will rush over and beat him up in the next moment.

"In the second year of Chenghua, Japanese pirates invaded and plundered eastern Zhejiang, and the common people suffered casualties!"

"In the fourth year of Jingtai, Japanese pirates attacked Linqing officers and soldiers in the name of tribute, looted and fled!"

How could my old arms and legs withstand his torment!

Furthermore, how could Ma Wensheng not know what Tang Hao said?

"Master Yuanfu, you said that the two countries have diplomatic relations and friendly trade?"

The three true kings of the court spoke one after another, and without exception they all opposed sending troops to Japan. Each had their own reasons, and each also had their own excuses. They could be described as righteous and impassioned.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries and the lives and deaths of thousands of people and soldiers seemed not to be worth mentioning in his eyes!

How dare he, Tang Hao, do this in order to achieve great success and rise as a military general!

Zhu Houzhao stood up firmly and was about to speak to finalize the matter.

However, at this moment, Liu Jian took the lead and blocked his mouth.

This is a bold hypothesis put forward, or in Yin Yang Tang Hao.

"Of course I don't dare!" Tang Hao chuckled and said: "Master Tianguan is a highly respected and virtuous minister. How dare I be disrespectful to Master Tianguan?"

But the problem is that Zhu Houzhao is not Emperor Taizu Gao, nor Emperor Yongle. Now he does not have such lofty imperial prestige. He can act arbitrarily, speak the constitution of heaven, and follow the law!

At present, the three true kings of the court do not agree, and the civil servants and gentry under their command naturally do not agree, so who is going to handle this matter?

If you, Tang Hao, want to lead an army on an expedition, who will arrange the logistics materials such as food, grass and baggage, and where will they come from?

Without food, grass and baggage, you're going to fight like crazy!

"Master Tianguan, you just said that Emperor Taizu Gao designated the Japanese country as a "country without conquest", right?"

"..."

"It is true that Ashikaga Masashi has provided valuable clues, but we cannot completely believe his words!"

For a time, conflicts arose within the civil servants and gentry, and they began to quarrel!

After all, the Celestial Empire and the vassal-vassal system are etiquette that has been magnified to the international level, and it is also a principle that China has adhered to for thousands of years!

"In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Japanese pirates invaded eastern Zhejiang, captured Dasong Qianhu Station, killed hundreds of officers and soldiers, and looted many men and women, food, and weapons!"

However, the Japanese country had no respect for the Ming Dynasty in the first place. The reason why they continued to pay tribute was for profit, for the profit of the joint trade, so they allowed the people to become bandits without stopping at all!

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the danger of Japanese pirates has always existed, and the imperial court has been investing money and food to build a defense system to prepare for Japanese pirates.

What the civil servants and gentry need is a stable court situation and a mature government affairs processing system. Only when the powerful state machine of the Ming Dynasty is operating normally will it best meet their interests and needs and will not bring any variables.

"In the fourth year of Zhengtong, Japanese pirates burned Taizhou, Ningbo and Changguowei!"

When faced with this group of despicable barbarians from the Japanese country, we can only consider ourselves unlucky.

"However, only in Korea and Japan, Emperor Taezu Gao always had doubts about the legitimacy of its internal ruling class. Korea was founded by Li Chenggui, the powerful minister of Goryeo, who replaced Goryeo. This in itself was an act of rebellion. It was said that he was a rebellious minister and a traitor. It is not an exaggeration at all. Emperor Taizu Gao even said it himself that Li Chenggui won the country improperly and the reasons he stated for taking the throne cannot be believed. However, the Ming Dynasty had no intention to interfere in the internal affairs of Goryeo (which had not yet been renamed) and had no territorial ambitions for it. As long as Li Chenggui If Chenggui does not invade the border and maintain stability, it can continue to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and maintain the suzerain-vassal relationship. As for the Japanese country, Emperor Taizu Gao hated it deeply. It was all rebellious officials and traitors. The shogunate pretended that the emperor was in charge of power, and that Prince Huai Liang also killed our official envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizu Gao was so angry that he even composed a song "Japanese Fan Xing" himself, angrily scolding the Japanese people as "the king is immoral and the people are thieves, disturbing living beings, gods and ghosts." He even said personally, "Japanese slaves will change in the future." This is the ancestral motto of Emperor Taizu Gao! "

After all, Prince Huairiang of Japan openly detained and killed the Ming envoys back then!

Killing the envoys of the Ming Dynasty is a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Taizu Gao!

If we really continue to argue, Emperor Taizu Gao will be really embarrassed!

In fact, the basic foundation of civil servants and gentry is a stable court.

But when these words fell into Tang Hao's ears, they seemed so ironic and harsh!

The little emperor also felt the pressure. After all, he was now facing three powerful ministers, Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua!

This time, none of the three people stood on his side, so it was conceivable that it would be difficult to implement this matter!

Although the emperor is Chrysostom, once Chrysostom is opened, the people below will go to work.

After listening to Tang Hao's discussion, Ma Wensheng turned pale with anger.

And war is undoubtedly synonymous with variables!

"..."

"In the 16th year of Hongwu's reign, Japanese pirates invaded the eastern Zhejiang region, killing and plundering in vain!"

In just a few moments, Tang Hao recounted the atrocities committed by the Japanese pirates one by one, all of which were real cases that could be traced in history.

"Tang Hou, are you scolding me for being brainless?"

Emperor Taizu Gao always disliked North Korea's unfair victory, and he hated the small and despicable country of Japan.

Well, this wave is not about cowardice, but about choosing from the heart.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

"In the fifteenth year of Yongle, Japanese pirates invaded Songmen, Jinxiang, Pingyang and other guards!"

This is a move out of the ancestral precepts and dispels the unrealistic idea of ​​the little emperor.

Hearing these sarcastic words, Ma Wensheng became even more furious.

After all, no matter what the Japanese say, it was also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!

"Emperor Taizu Gao couldn't wait to send his troops to the sea to destroy this despicable little country. You still have the nerve to clamor about a country that does not conquer. Don't you feel hurt?"

Then Tang Hao looked at Zhang Fuhua, the Chief Constitution Officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who he personally supported.

Then here comes the problem!

"Friendly? The Japanese pirates broke into your home, robbed your property, and took your wife, daughter, and sisters back to rape them. You still want to praise them for being friendly?"

"The treasury is empty and we are unable to carry out an expedition!"

Zhu Houzhao: "(σ;*Д*)σ death penalty!"
