Chapter 665 Source
It was still a boring day.
Yang Jing still repeated his days every day, and after starting, he began to handle official duties.
After correcting some memorials, Yang Jie frowned. The weather seemed to be getting colder and colder. Yang Jie had some insights, stopped his work, left the warm pavilion, looked up at the sky, the sky was a little heavy, and he stretched out his hand to mock the air, and it became a little cold.
"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold." Wang Chengen hurriedly brought the cloak of advice.
"It's getting colder and colder!" Yang Jing sighed.
"Yes! Your Majesty, it's getting colder and colder this day.
” Wang Chengen replied.
"Go and invite Master Sun to come." Yang Jie thought for a while and made up his mind.
"I obey the order, let's go now." Wang Chengen agreed.
After instructing Wang Chengen, Yang Jie reached out and mopped in the air, and then turned around and returned to the warm room.
Warmhouse.
Sun Chengzong came very quickly, and he was very close to Ganqing Palace with Pingbi.
"I will meet your Majesty." Sun Chengzong said politely.
"It's gone" Yang Jiedao, his expression a little solemn.
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong looked at the worried emperor and was a little suspicious, not knowing what the emperor was thinking.
"It's getting colder now," Yang Jingai said sighing.
"Yes! Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong replied, but now it was getting colder and colder. The clothes on his body became much thicker without realizing them, no longer as thin as before.
"What about them? What's wrong?" Yang Jingang asked.
"…Report to Your Majesty, you are still in the process of training. You are practicing confrontation with the Qin Governor and Manchu Governor,..." Sun Chengzong said.
"Oh" Yang Jie said with a "teammates" practicing confrontation and cultivating tacit understanding. This is the last study before graduation. After learning this, the two new "teammates" should be on the road.
"Is it okay to practice?" Yang Jingang frowned and asked casually.
"Report to Your Majesty, everything goes well." Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor and roughly knew why the emperor frowned. He also frowned.
"Oh, it's getting colder now. It's October, so it's time for them to take office. It's time to get to the local area to get familiar with the environment and get along with their subordinates." Yang Jingwei said.
Although the words were speechless and those who didn't understand were confused, Sun Chengzong knew that the emperor was going to let these two people go out, and time was not waiting for anyone!
"Yes! Your Majesty, it's better to take office earlier, and it will take a certain amount of time to get in touch with the deployment. Otherwise, if the generals don't know the soldiers and the soldiers are not convinced, they will be in trouble when they command in the future......" Sun Chengzong said.
"Well, Master Sun is right, it's time to let them go. Master Sun thinks, with their abilities, where is the right place to go?" Yang Jingxie asked again.
"This" Sun Chengzong was speechless and frowned. This was really a difficult task. Sun Chengzong didn't know how many times hesitated about this matter. Logically speaking, it would be better for Hong Chengchou to go to Datong. After all, there was a lack of a person with a big picture, but it was not impossible to go to Liaodong: Similarly, it was okay for Lu Xiangsheng to go to Datong, and it was okay to go to Liaodong. There was no conclusion on where the two people went.
"... Please ask Your Majesty for the Holy Tribunal!" Sun Chengzong frowned and sighed. It would be better to leave this question to the emperor. He really didn't know which one to recommend.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll just make the decision." Yang Jing also worked hard on this matter and it was not easy to make the decision, but the problem still came back to himself. Yang Jing smiled and said, "The Holy Judgment is the Holy Judgment."
"" Sun Chengzong was speechless for a moment. He could only rely on the emperor's sage. He also sighed that the emperor didn't know where to find these two people, and seemed to have a strong talent for leading troops. He was simply a rare talent in a century.
Yang Jie put away his smile, his face became more and more serious. He seemed to have made a huge determination and said to Wang Chengen: "Big partner, I have important things to talk to Master Sun. Clean up the surroundings and don't let people listen."
"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed that the emperor had something important to clear the scene.
The clearance was soon, and when Wang Chengen came back, there was no one around.
Sun Chengzong was quietly waiting for the emperor to speak, not knowing what the emperor would say.
"Master Sun, sit down." Yang Jingjie sorted out his clues and said.
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong bowed a little and sat down.
"The two of them are about to go out. I have thought about this matter and discussed it with Master Sun. I saw what to do better. If I don't make a decision at this time, they will feel uncomfortable when they go outside and will ruin their strategy." Yang Jingdiao turned the topic down.
Sun Chengzong listened seriously. He was not as cautious as an ordinary minister. He was not restrained when talking to the emperor, but was quite calm and composed. He opened his heart to communicate with the emperor. This kind of relationship and attitude with the emperor was only Sun Chengzong.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Sun Chengzong asked.
"Master Sun remember, some day ago, I told Master Sun about his living Buddha?" Yang Jing gradually made it clear.
"Report to Your Majesty, I remember that if I remember correctly, it seems to be related to Master Yuanwu."
Sun Chengzong replied, it was strange why the emperor said this.
"Yes, Master Sun also knows that if nothing unexpected happens in the war in the north, I should have flattened Liaodong and swept across the desert." Yang Jie said, looking at Sun Chengzong.
"Report to Your Majesty, yes, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the case," said Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong was even more surprised. Why did this be so good? From the Living Buddha to the battle situation in the north?
"I think that although I have a great confidence in the battle to the north, I have always been a little vague or take it for granted about the Western strategy." Yang Jingwei said, but he criticized himself without hesitation and spoke to Sun Chengzong without any scruples, and said whatever he had.
"Your Majesty, what is your Majesty saying, Uszang?
Please explain in detail by Your Majesty. Sun Chengzong was a little surprised and asked carefully. 1 Uszang's finger **1
Yes, the West I am talking about is Uszang. As for the ambiguity of Western strategies, it means that the northern strategy is relatively clear, with clear purpose, steps and response methods.…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"What Your Majesty said is very much." Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and obviously entered deep thought.
"I am thinking about how to solve the West while clearing the North......" Yang Jingwei said.
"Your Majesty, the place of Uszang is too barren and too far away. I am afraid that I can't afford many soldiers! It is not difficult for Your Majesty to take back that place, but it is probably not easy to actually control it. I think that Uszang's affairs should be cautious. I think that with the power of our dynasty in the north, the lamas of Uszang should understand the truth and will not be enemies of our dynasty." Sun Chengzong said that Sun Chengzong did not have thought about the matter in the Uszang area. The conclusion he came to was deterrent, but it could not be actually occupied. It was meaningless to actually occupy it. That place was too barren and too far away.
"Yes! I also know that it is not difficult to capture the Us Tibet region. As long as I grit my teeth, I can still do it. However, it is undoubtedly more difficult to actually control the Us Tibet region than climbing to the sky. It is indeed a bit unrealistic. However, I also think that there is no way..." Yang Jingwei said.
Yang Jing discussed the Northern Strategy and the issues of treating the Us Tibet region before, and the conclusion he came to was as Sun Chengzong said.
"Your Majesty, what can I do?" Sun Chengzong asked after hearing the emperor talk about Uszang and controlling the Uszang area. Sun Chengzong's heart was a little scared. But even Taizu could not fight that place. It was still based on his power to subdue the power there. It was unimaginable that Sun Chengzong also worried the emperor.
"This is what I just said about the living Buddha," said Yang Jingwei.
"...Living Buddha?" His Majesty meant? "Sun Chengzong was puzzled.
"What I mean is to take advantage of the power of the forces in the north to sweep away, and I take the opportunity to enter the Uszang area as a living Buddha. Not to mention that I will completely control the Uszang area in my hands, at least I must have strong control..." Yang Jie said.
"This...!!!" Sun Chengzong looked shocked! What is the emperor doing?
Not only Sun Chengzong was shocked, but even Wang Chengen was shocked! The emperor's words exceeded his limit of thinking.
Looking at the two of them with shock, Yang Jingao knew how amazing what he said was. This was also the reason why Yang Jingao was unwilling to say this, but now he has to say it.
"…I report to Your Majesty, I really don't understand. Please let Your Majesty make it clear." Sun Chengzong frowned and asked quickly. Even though he was shocked, he still had to ask clearly.
"I have thought that although Uszang can be defeated, it cannot be directly controlled. This will definitely not work. However, Uszang is not controlled by anyone, but it is actually controlled by someone. I think it is better to learn and learn from the methods of controlling Uszang now. In other words, although it is difficult to control Uszang, there is always a way." Yang Jingwei said.
"Learn from Uszang's methods to control Uszang?" Sun Chengzong was even more shocked! At the same time, he also felt that it made sense. Although Uszang's place was barren and far away, it still belonged. If you want to talk about control, it was indeed controlled by someone, not a barren land without a master. Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong's heart eased a little, and he felt that what the emperor said was not unreasonable.
"Yes! How does Uszang control the place of Uszang now? I think it is better to control Uszang. Just engrave the imprint of our Ming Dynasty on the basis of the current control Uszang. In this way, the purpose of controlling Uszang can be achieved. I think that although it cannot be said to be actual control, it is far stronger than the current tribute system," added Yang Jingwei.
Sun Chengzong was still difficult to understand the emperor's meaning at first, but after hearing what the emperor said, he felt that it made some sense. Learning and drawing on the control method of Uszang today, adding the factors of the Ming Dynasty to this method, it is indeed somewhat feasible. No matter how barren or far away Nasuzang is, the control method that has been born and raised can still adapt to that place.
But..., I report to Your Majesty. What Your Majesty said is indeed somewhat reasonable. Although Uszang is far away and barren, it is difficult for our Ming Dynasty to actually control it for a long time, if we engrave the imprint of our Ming Dynasty on the basis of Uszang's control of Uszang's area today, it is indeed worth a try. I don't know what Your Majesty plans to do... Although I think it is possible, I still want to remind Your Majesty that Uszang is too far away and barren. If you want to think about it, you still have to think twice about it," said Sun Chengzong.
"Yes! I think this is really worth a try. Uszang is also called Weizang by our dynasty. It has always had the tradition of enfeoffment of imperial edicts in our dynasty. To this day, although we have come to pay tribute less often, there is always such a kind of friendship and statement, and there is also such a origin. To put it, it is not something I made up randomly..." Yang Jingwei said.
"This, Your Majesty has made sense. Uszang has always been granted the title of our dynasty. What will Your Majesty plan to do?" When Sun Chengzong heard this, he felt something was reasonable. Although the emperor's words were so fierce, he would be a Buddha. But think about it, the Ming Dynasty had many titles to the lamas there, such as Dharma Kings and masters. To calculate it, it was legitimate to think about the Ming Dynasty's efforts to get involved in that place. Sun Chengzong wanted to hear what the emperor's specific plans were.
"My plan, the Uszang area still needs to be controlled by the current method, and must adapt to the Uszang. It is obviously not possible to control it directly by our Ming Dynasty. I have summarized the rule method of Uszang. Only by the unity of politics and religion can we adapt to that place. Our court will be the great sect of the great sect, and then by the lama, monk, and religion, the basic method is this..." Yang Jingjie said.
"...What I can do in the Ming Dynasty is to use the unity of politics and religion there to indirectly achieve rule over there. Our dynasty controls the great lamas, monks, and religions, and then rule the place by the great lamas, monks, and religions. In this way, there is no need to spend too much effort in the Uszang, and you can get the greatest benefit with the smallest effort," Yang Jing continued to explain.
"The unity of politics and religion..., control the great lama, monk, religion?" Sun Chengzong followed the emperor's thoughts and thought. This trajectory, speaking, was not the emperor's whimsical thoughts. The former Yuan Dynasty seemed to use this method. In other words, it was also achieved by controlling the upper class of Uszang. The Ming Dynasty also followed the former Yuan Dynasty, but its control was much lower than that of the former Yuan Dynasty. At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty had a considerable influence on the other side, but the later, the influence on the other side became weaker, and finally became a formality. To this day, some lamas even participated in the war on the northern grasslands, posing a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty. Sun Chengzong felt that this problem still had to be solved............
"... Please explain in detail about the unity of politics and religion? How to effectively control the great lamas, monks, and religion. If it is just a simple title, it is probably useless. If our dynasty is strong, the Dharma King will still obey our dynasty, but if our dynasty is weak, it will definitely retaliate against our dynasty," asked Sun Chengzong. From the shock just now, Sun Chengzong quickly changed to understanding and support.
"Well, Master Sun is right, you must be careful of their actions. My idea is to support the larger religious sects above the family, and use their leaders as the leader of the unity of politics and religion, and each party is in charge, which is to prevent one from dominant, and it can also form constraints. These families are both religious leaders and government leaders. I control them, and then they control Uszang. As for the methods to control them, such as my enthronement before they can become leaders, such as every other period of time, it is necessary to
If you want to come to our court to see my Ming Emperor, for example, you also need to see my Ming Emperor when you are enthroned and get the recognition of my Ming Emperor. For example, from a legal perspective, Uszang belongs to my Ming Dynasty, limit their relationship with me, establish a delegation for them, formulate management authority, define their respective management territories, unify the names of each place, stipulate the use of the Ming Dynasty's text and language, use the Ming Dynasty's calendar, postal, channel, trade, etc.," Yang Jing thought for a while and said.
Sun Chengzong listened and remained silent.
"...For example, there is economic control, such as giving those leaders some trade privileges and allowing them to control a certain degree of trade share like the Imperial Army," Yang Jing said a lot.
Sun Chengzong remained silent.
"…In fact, these things ultimately need to be supported by strong military support. Our dynasty still needs to have the ability to enter Tibet to suppress rebellions at all times in order to suppress Uszang. Although the army does not require the army to stay in Uszang at all times, it must also maintain the ability to enter Tibet at any time. If you enter Tibet, you must fight." Yang Jing continued.
Sun Chengzong was even speechless. Although the emperor said this very well, the difficulties could be imagined. The emperor's idea was good, but when he thought of the barrenness and distantness of the place, Sun Chengzong's support just now disappeared almost.
"Now the Lama Church is making trouble on the Greedy Yuan, and it happened to take this opportunity to defeat them. After being defeated, sit down and talk about how to rule Uszang. Thinking of that time, my requirements should be met," said Yang Jingwei.
"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to defeat the lama. This matter is still difficult to control for a long time! Although the integration of politics and education seems to be good, I have to say that in the future, I am afraid that my Ming Dynasty will pay more for this place in Uszang. Your Majesty must be cautious in this matter," Sun Chengzong said after pondering for a while.
Yang Jing was silent. He might have thought too much. Although the integration of politics and education seems to be a historical trend, there is no storm in the middle?
"Although it is difficult to control Uszang at present, I have to take down these places!" Yang Jingwei said firmly.
"Oh, why did Your Majesty say this?" Sun Chengzong was puzzled. He wanted to persuade the emperor further, but after hearing what the emperor said, he asked again.
"Have Master Sun heard the saying "Watching the Source"?" Yang Jiewei said.
"Reply to Your Majesty, I've heard it." Sun Chengzong replied in confusion.
"Does Master Sun know where the source of the Yangtze River is?" Yang Jie asked again.
"This, Your Majesty means that the source of the Yangtze River is in Uszang?" Sun Chengzong was immediately shocked! This statement is really fresh.
"Yes, I have talked to Xu Xiake. According to him, the source of the Yangtze River is probably in Uszang, but there is no on-site investigation. I can't be wrong after Xu Xiake said," said Yang Jingwei.
"This..." Sun Chengzong didn't know what to say.
"...Apart from the Yangtze River, the source of the Yellow River is probably also in Uszang..." Yang Jing said again. Seeing that even Sun Chengzong didn't seem to support him, Yang Jing could only give this a try. Although the integration of politics and religion was well used by the Qing Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, this was synonymous with "scratch". It was too difficult to get recognition.
"Ah!" Sun Chengzong was a little stunned.
