Chapter 597.

“Great success, great success ……”

“The Model Battalion is progressing at a rapid pace, straight into the thieves’ lair, and the Japanese nation is greatly settled ……”

One after the other, a shortcut report was sent into the capital almost every other day.

Not only the Wen Yuan Ge, but also the Di Di Pao, which is published almost every other day.

This crusade against the Japanese was practically all-consuming.

For the court, it seemed to concern the vassalage of several imperial grandsons.

As for the merchants and traders, this Japanese-inspired rebellion has caused many seafarers to suffer heavy losses.

When the trade in Japan skyrocketed, a lot of sea merchants went to layout, and it was really a springtime!

But the rebellion together, many rebels, not only against the Ashikaga family, but also many, because the development of the sea trade, so that they are in trouble, and therefore this Japanese rebels, and even put forward the order of the barbarians.

It’s just that the hustle here is against the seafarers.

Therefore, almost all merchants and businessmen were extraordinarily concerned about the court’s strike against the Japanese rebels.

At this …… time, the rapid advance of the model battalion suddenly made the hearts of all the people feel very stable.

The original also worried about the merchants, at this moment …… but suddenly gave birth to a strange feeling.

The Business Journal, in particular, is extraordinarily visible.

Once upon a time, most of the concerns of the business newspaper about the sea trade lay in the aspect of combating sea pirates, and a lot of the news published was what natural disasters had struck the overseas feudal towns, and what shortages of goods there were.

But these days, it became more and more a bit unusual.

At least in Zhang Anshi’s opinion, things had changed in a way that was both expected and unexpected.

The merchants ‘awakened’.

Markets can be expanded, for example, this time the market in Japan was expanded steeply because of the new policy in Japan, making the volume of trade skyrocket.

And expanding the market is also risky, the New Deal now seems to be not everyone can eat tonic, Daming ate can be strong and healthy, but for this world Wanfang, but also may be hemlock to quench thirst.

This inevitably led to the chaos that was bound to ensue once the New Deal began.

And the confusion that arose was bound to cost a large number of merchants and traders.

So …… is there a way to expand the market so that everyone can make a lot of money, but at the same time, without having to bear the risks and consequences?

This time, the Great Ming’s rebellious advance apparently seemed to have suddenly given many people the answer.

If the Ming army can take this opportunity to fight against the rebellion, then will it not become an all-inclusive profit? In this way, not only the Japanese country’s door will be opened, but also can rest in peace.

Because of this, this time into the army, the business newspaper is the most concerned about this, not just concerned, but it clamored the most powerful, can be said to be jumping up and down, chattering about how to praise the Ming army to discuss how reasonable and legitimate, and on the one hand, and all kinds of accusations of Japanese rebels of barbarism.

These kinds of statements obviously have a great impact on the people and military of the world.

The many scholars of Daming seem to have reversed themselves at once.

The great Confucian scholars who used to be led by Confucianism and advocated rest with the people have now disappeared.

And the scholars who clamor for the four quarters of the world to be rebellious, their articles, almost gradually become the mainstream.

It is not because, in the past, the great Confucian scholars, their remarks were not justified. Confucianism has undergone a thousand years of theoretical refinement, and their theoretical system is obviously much more solid than that of the scholars of the new school.

The real reason lies in the fact that almost every major article that can be found in the newspapers nowadays rejects almost all of the great scholarly articles of the past, while those advocating the crusade are extremely favored.

Newspaper dissemination power, is ten times or even a hundred times the former mode of lecturing, and clamor for rebellion, you can get a generous fee, get a huge reputation, on the contrary, now the great Confucian, but has begun to poor, painstakingly written articles, but almost no dissemination, this is the difference between the two, it can be seen.

And as an article appeared, a large number of scholars, too, began to build on it, desperately trying to find a theoretical basis.

It is as if, like the great Confucian scholars who grew up in the soil of the gentry, though they shot arrows before painting targets, because the land required a great deal of manpower, and the levying of a large number of soldiers as well as corv茅e service would inevitably injure the agricultural production, and it would be unprofitable to go around conquering, and so the great Confucian scholars began gradually to abandon the great vindictive viewpoints of the Han Dynasty, and opted for forbearance and non-levying instead.

And these scholars nowadays are also desperately trying to find out from various ancient books the various remarks of the ancients, so as to enrich their own views.

So much so that many articles even quote extensively from Sage Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and Dong Zhongshu. On the surface, the words are still the same, but the power of interpretation has completely changed.

In the previous interpretations of the great scholars, the saints promoted the image of a gentle ruler.

And the new scholars, but also follow the example of the previous great Confucian, out of context in general, directly excerpted from these ancient sages only words, in an instant, the saints and sages, as if changing, but also became a ‘great vengeance’, ‘great unity’, The image of the ‘Mighty Plus Four Barbarians’.

Zhang Anshi looked, can not help but some bitter smile, he now gradually realized that the past that he pushed the world, to implement the New Deal era, has gradually passed.

And now, it seems, more and more people are beginning to tie themselves, and indeed the entire court, to push the court and themselves forward in order to achieve their own claims.

This emerging nouveau riche class has begun to come into its own.

And it is becoming more and more skillful at pulling in scholars and building new theoretical systems to begin to extract benefits for itself.

Zhang Anshi was precisely at the tip of such a storm, because a large number of scholars began to cite some of Zhang Anshi’s past measures on a large scale to prove their points.

Even some words, Zhang Anshi clearly did not say, but after the fabrication, and after time and time again after the art of processing, but as if all of a sudden, into a thought-provoking warning general.

So much so that the new Shangpao article directly quotes Zhang Anshi’s words that barbarians are beasts to argue the claim that the Japanese are inhuman, especially those who refuse to be enlightened and are hostile to maritime commerce ……

This made Zhang Anshi himself feel that some of the remarks were a bit too much, and he always felt that the vehemence had gone too far.

But he wanted to jump out and disprove the rumor, stating that I, Zhang Anshi, did not say that.

But obviously, it was futile.

In the Wen Yuan Pavilion, several people, Hu Guang, looked at Zhang Anshi’s eyes, and they all seemed to have become strange.

They are often read the newspaper, never thought, and they interact with them, is still quite moderate Zhang Anshi, is actually radical to such a point, there are some words, read all teach people shudder.

After all, suffered from Confucianism inculcated reading people, even if it is discarded Confucianism, but the bones, after all, there is still a gentle side, some excessive speech, always teach people to shudder.

Zhang Anshi’s eyes, on the other hand, were filled with grievances, quite a bit of nowhere to talk about the grievances of the heart.

“Telegram, new telegram.”

Wen Yuan Ge, again, by a new telegram, broke the silence.

Generally have what urgent telegram, only will have the sheriff, the fire to play the report, do not need to inform the processing.

At this time, almost all of the university professors, put aside the matter at hand.

“The Great General of the Rebellion, searching for the first bloodline of the Ashikaga family, this son is the youngest son of Ashikaga Yoshitsugu, actually escaped the killings of the rebels, was carefully taken in by his retainers to hide, gentlemen …… General Zhu Yong, Zhang Yoking, I implore the court . . to enthrone him as King of Japan.”

The crowd settled down.

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but lament, “Ai, no matter what, at last Ashikaga Yoshitaka has a descendant. In heaven, I don’t know how pleased he would be!”

Hu Guang and the others, did not have such an abundance of emotions as Zhang Anshi.

But they are all taut, they are certainly …… more antipathetic to the overzealous killing speech, but it involves the aftermath of the Japanese, but it is extremely important to look at.

So Hu Guang hurriedly said, “What is this son’s name, what is his age, and who is his mother?”

Sherman took the telegraph newspaper, and carefully looked at, but said, “called Ashikaga Yoshimasa, age well …… have three months old, his mother, is a maid of the shogunate.”

For a while, the crowd fell directly into a dead silence.

After a pause, Hu Guang said, “Ashikaga Yoshinori, when did he die?”

“This ……” Zhang Anshi said, “Roughly, the rebels killed the Shogunate, should be in four or five months ago …… ”

Hu Guang raised his eyebrows and said, “This way ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “What do you gentlemen think of this matter?”

Hu Guang said with slight concern, “Will there be some …… difficulty in convincing the public?”

Has been silently watching from the sidelines Xie Jin, at this time suddenly smiled and said, “His Highness the King of Song has a saying, the barbarians fear Wei but not virtue, sometimes do not have to regard them as people, will be regarded as beasts can be treated as animals, treating the beasts, should be used in the way of the beasts …… ”

Zhang Anshi color change, frowning at Xie Jin said, “I did not say ……”

Xie Jin was still smiling, still breezy.

In fact, no one cares whether or not CHEUNG An-shi has said so. Anyone who quotes these words is actually trying to expound his own proposition, and as to whether it is a cat or a dog or whether CHEUNG An-shi has said so, does it matter? Who cares? Or does …… care about his ass!

Xie Jin said: “These words, of course, some bias, but …… now my Ming Ming finger to swat the bandits and thieves, has been the power of Fusang, just now, the Japanese people’s hearts are not yet attached, so had to appoint the king of the Japanese, in order to subdue the Japanese …… Therefore, who is enthroned as the king of Japan, on the contrary, is a secondary matter.”

After a pause, Xie Jin then said, “Some military reports, I have also read, the Japanese on the bloodline, although still valued, but not very much, they have always had the tradition of accepting adopted sons, revitalize the lintel. So, this is rather secondary.”

“As for those retainers of the Ashikaga Yoshinobu, the reason for their allegiance to the Ashikaga family lies in the fact that, fearing that the rebel army will completely annihilate the Ashikaga family and cause them to be buried with them, it does not matter very much who is the king of this Japan.”

Xie Jin thought for a moment, continued: “So who is the king of Japan, in fact, is not very important, if the age is too long, at this time I Ming in Fusan foothold is not yet stable, a few vassals, but also has not yet gained a foothold, once this person has other attempts, but unfavorable.”

“And this young king will do more good than harm to my Ming. As for whether to convince the public or not, on the one hand, to order the army to continue the rebellion, continue to hunt down the remaining rebels. On the other hand, for Ashikaga Yoshinobu’s former retainers and samurai, they need to be pacified, as long as these two points are achieved, what does it matter whether the people are convinced or not?”

Yang Rong seemed to nod by default as well.

Jin Youzi stroked his long beard and nodded, “The words of Lord Xie are not unreasonable.”

Xie Jin glanced at the crowd again before saying, “We will report this to His Majesty and implore Him to make a decision.”

The people have no objection. So wait for the zhang report to go up, soon Zhu Di gave the decree, ordered Wen Yuan Ge to prepare the decree.

After a few more days, Zhang Anshi was summoned to the palace.

Only today, not to have something to discuss, but Zhu Di held a family feast.

Therefore, this day came, in addition to Zhang Anshi, there is also the crown prince Zhu Gaoqi, as well as four imperial grandsons.

Just yesterday, Zhu Di enthroned four of his grandsons: Zhu Jun was enthroned as King Zheng, Zhu Junjun was enthroned as King Yue, Zhu Junyin was enthroned as King Herb, and Zhu Jun-Sun was enthroned as King Xiang.

At this time their father, or the Prince, at this time to appoint them as Prince, obviously, this is Zhu Di has been determined to decentralize the meaning of.

It was tantamount to signaling to the world that the current Crown Prince was not far from the Emperor.

In response, Zhu Gaoqi panicked into the palace to thank the grace.

And Zhu Di is significantly calm, today this family feast, in fact, is also in the reason, the four grandsons together, which also means that they will be vassal at any time.

Before the four grandchildren left the capital for Fusang, Zhu Di naturally wished to hold a family banquet to reunite with these four grandchildren, one last time.

The family feast began, Zhu Di sat down and set the tone first: “Today is a family feast, there is no need to be formal, should eat, should drink!”

Then his eyes fell on the head of Zhang Anshi, said: “Zhang Secretary of …… this time to conquer the Japanese bandits, you deserve great credit, my four grandchildren, will also be into the Japanese in the next few days, but their age is still too small, I think about coming …… to you as an uncle of the I am afraid to worry about one or two.”

Zhang Anshi revealed a difficult color, busy, “I …… am in the capital, I am afraid ……… that the whip is out of reach.”

Zhu contained a smile and said, “Is that so?”

He paused, then said, “I have already given an order to the Ministry of Ceremonies to teach them to prepare.”

These words, spoken in a somewhat inexplicable manner, are a bit confusing to listen to.

And Zhang Anshi did not pursue the question, only many years together as a ruler and courtier, he vaguely felt that Zhu Di should have another arrangement.

Zhu Di revealed his brash side at this time and said, “Alright, alright, stop nagging, all drink.”

After a few cups of wine, Zhu Di’s face was glowing red, but seeing that his four grandchildren were very formal, he said to Jun Zhu, “Jun, you’re the oldest of all the brothers, so I’m going to ask you how you’ll govern the clan if you take over the clan.”

Zhu Jun Jun was busy putting down his glass of wine and said seriously, “When Sun Chen assumes the throne, he will follow the example of His Majesty and treat the people and the military well ……”

Zhu Di, however, seems to be not very satisfied, eyes glared and said: “good treatment of a bird, this world scolded me more people.”

Zhu Jun showed fear and was at a loss as to how to respond.

Zhu Di see him so, although there is a little upset, but after all, this grandson is about to leave, but did not get angry, on the contrary, is a long speech: “you to the clan town, both the head of a country, but also the head of the family, governance, do not be afraid of people’s words, the heart has to have their own ideas, but also do not serve this today, tomorrow serve that, I am you to serve to come? ”

“Some days ago, Zhang Qing is still saying that we should adapt to the time, the place and the person, this is how the axiom, but you have not carefully recalled these words, but in front of me, said these grand words?”

Mr. Zhu Jun was quick to apologize.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, “Well, sit properly and listen, you indeed should be a good example, after all, you are the oldest, to Fusang, you four brothers, as flesh and blood, then you need to carry each other! Because of this, you, the elder brother, need to have more of your own ideas, to bring up your three brothers.”

Mr. Zhu Jun said, “I’ve memorized it all.”

Zhu Di pursed his lips and added: “This time, I have given you the most money, food and guards for this enthronement, and its purpose is also for this, I am counting on you to be able to protect your brothers, who are still too small after all.”

Zhu Di sighed, saying that of his four grandchildren, Zhu Jun was a full grown man, while the other three, though barely grown, were still too young in Zhu Di’s opinion, and he felt a bit worried.

Just, the law here, both as a royal person, enjoy the honor, some road is difficult to go, but also have to go. Furthermore, this is also for the sake of the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, for Zhu Di, although there are a few heartache, but he understands more than anyone else, this is something that has to be done.

Zhu Di closed his eyes, contemplating for a moment, before slowly opening his eyes again, “As far as the vassal land is concerned, you have the most land in the vassal land, and I have also checked that the Japanese population under your side, is not a few, you have to make a show, so that you can make an example to your brothers.”

Mr. Zhu Jun has been obediently stopping his training and saying “yes” over and over again.

Zhu Di finished saying this, then looked at the oldest three, Zhu Zhanlong, said, “Zhanlong, you boy, do not continue to be naughty, to Fusan, to be peaceful, do not think there are some things, I do not know.”

Zhu Zhanlong heard this, his face changed, suddenly felt like awn in the back, a cold neck, scared and panicked to look at his uncle Zhang Anshi, then hastened to say: “Sunchen weekdays, are following the rules, by the words of the uncle to teach ……”

“Ahem ……,” Zhang Anshi coughed desperately, a trace of embarrassment flying across his face.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and huffed, “What, got a lung disease? Coughing like that?”

Zhang Anshi then smiled and said, “Little children don’t know any better and like to talk nonsense. Your Majesty, I am usually busy with my official duties, and for all the royal grandsons, I have neglected to discipline them, so I really deserve to die.”

Said, Zhang Anshi then revealed a few points of grief: “At the beginning of the Crown Prince, that kind of dedication to teach me, I’m really not a person, and now can not emulate the Crown Prince, in the nephews in front of the example of ……”

Zhu Di impatiently waved his hand and said, ”If you have this heart, it’s no better. Today, I summoned you all here, both for the sake of the family to eat and use the meal neatly once. This secondly, I will then also be entrusting these grandchildren, to you, Zhang Anshi.”

After a pause, he sighed and said: ”Where in the world is there a master who doesn’t love his grandchildren? They are so young and weak, if they have no one to teach them, how can they become successful? Secretary Zhang, don’t you think ……”
