804 Pretending to woo
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen raised his voice and said, "I opened my eyes to you, hoping that you will not be limited by your previous knowledge. Don't rob food in a bowl, because I will give you a pot! The future of the Ming Dynasty, like before seeing this steam engine today, is absolutely unimaginable to you!"
Or if he thought it was a bit embarrassing, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and said, "Of course, I am not talking to you, I am going to convey these words to the people below. As long as I see one, don't mess up internally, don't think about doing things that are not tolerated by the national law, I will give the Ming people a bright future that they have never imagined!"
"I will follow the holy will!" Wen Tiren and others felt relieved when they heard this, and quickly responded in unison.
After beating, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go home for a good New Year!"
Now that the northwest surrenders, Hetao is in the hands of the court, the problem of the victims of Qin and Jin has been alleviated, and Liaodong has also won several great victories. Huang Taiji is now performing a farce in the Qing Palace, and everything seems to be pretty good. This year, we should be able to live a good life!
Emperor Chongzhen thought this way, but in fact, it is often beautiful and only exists in wishes.
When he asked the ministers to celebrate the New Year, he was in the lobby of the Fujian Governor's Office far south, but he had no intention of celebrating the New Year. Instead, he was all people, all of them looked serious and the atmosphere was a little nervous.
In the main seat of the lobby, the person sitting was naturally Fujian Governor Sun Chuanting. After he took office, he killed decisively and used the army he brought from Shanxi to severely rectify land security, which could be regarded as establishing his own prestige.
However, at this moment, he also looked down and said loudly: "The thief leader Liu Xiang has been rampant for a long time, but I have no navy in my hands. Now he has become more and more aggressive. He actually asked me to release the bandits he had captured a few days ago. Otherwise, he would attack my coastal prefectures and counties. Can you have good solutions?"
Fujian's coastline is very long, and pirates can roam freely on the sea, and they can choose any place to attack, which makes people unable to defend themselves. Once there are too many pirates, one of the previous solutions was to order all ships not to go into the sea, so that pirates have no money to rob, and there is no financial resources to replenish their troops. This is one of the reasons why the sea ban was banned in the past.
In addition, in the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhu Wan served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, encircled and suppressed the pirates who were rampant for a while. It was also his intention and ability. Therefore, in the 27th year of Jiajing, he captured and killed the famous pirate leaders Li Bangtou, Xu Dong, etc., and killed one to warn hundreds of others to serve as a warning. But in the 29th year of Jiajing, Zhu Wan was falsely charged with the crime of killing without permission and wanted to arrest him for punishment. The hard work in exchange for such a result. Zhu Wan committed suicide in despair when she was about to be arrested and punished. From then on, the court's dismissal of inspector ministers was also a famous example of the sea ban.
However, the court has just issued an order to lift the sea ban, and Sun Zhongcheng is obviously coming specifically to open the sea ban. Naturally, this kind of countermeasure is impossible, and he will not worry that the emperor will treat Zhu Wan like a person. Besides, when the sky falls, there are naturally tall men who are holding on. If there is something, Sun Zhongcheng will definitely have the matter first, so others can do things seriously. Of course, this is related to their frequent conflicts with pirates.
The yamen complained and asked to preside over justice to pirate cases more and more, and the people under the rule were often harmed by pirates. These things all made local officials want to clear out the pirates and give the sea a peace. Of course, to put it nicely, it is because the people under the rule cannot live in peace. To put it bluntly, it also affects personal political achievements and personal future.
However, the best way to deal with pirates is to send a navy to fight. However, at this time, the most powerful navy in Fujian and even Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong had been recruited to the north by the court. The only ships left were left at important ports to cooperate with the shore to guard against pirates, and they had no power to attack the pirates.
This objective and difficult existence kept the civil and military officials in the lobby silent.
Seeing this, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly, and understood the reason why these subordinates did not speak, so he added: "The Fujian Navy has already gone south and will arrive in more than half a month. However, the boat army is tired and it is impossible to immediately attack the pirates."
When the people in the hall heard this news, their eyes lit up. You know, the current commander of the Fujian Navy is Zheng Zhilong. He was the largest and most powerful pirate in the past. It is said that he was a brother of Liu Xiang. If he came back to suppress Liu Xiang, he would have a chance of winning!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was obviously eased a little, and many officials looked at each other, as if they had thoughts. Finally, a civil servant came out and reported to Sun Chuanting: "Master Zhongcheng, the official thought that he could stabilize Liu Xiang first so that he could be more stable during this period and not poison the people. When the navy army arrived, he could fight both land and water to suppress the pirates in one fell swoop!"
If the pirates make a request, the government will listen to the pirates and release the thieves. This will greatly damage the prestige of the government and the prestige of the court. No official will do it. Otherwise, it will give him a handle to the political enemy, which is a death-seeking act.
When Sun Chuanting saw that the person who spoke was Fujian political party member Hong Yunzheng, he asked him, "How to be stable?"
Since Hong Yunzheng said this, he naturally thought of a countermeasure, so he immediately replied: "The official thought he could pretend to be pleading him. If he agreed, his subordinates would naturally be acquitted, which would be considered as satisfying his request."
Speaking of this, he immediately added: "Of course, as for the conditions for recruitment, it is possible to talk about it until the arrival of the navy army."
After Sun Chuanting took office, he showed strong performance. He would wipe out all the bandits, regardless of sea, land and place. Therefore, before that, no one dared to talk about pacification. However, Hong Yunzheng's proposal was a false pacification, and he was not afraid of making Lord Zhongcheng unhappy.
Hong Chengchou's proposal not only stabilizes the recent situation and does not cause any headaches, but also makes Liu Xiang relax his vigilance, which is a good way to eliminate Zheng Zhilong more smoothly after he returns.
Therefore, after he finished speaking, the civil servant Kang Chengzu immediately made an appointment. When they saw that both civil servants agreed with this matter, they were a little moved, thinking of showing it in front of Lord Zhongcheng, so as not to only use Liu Daeng he brought.
So, the generals Xia Zhiben, Zhang Yijie and others also followed suit and discussed Hong Yunzheng's proposal.
Sun Chuanting was calm and measured this matter freely. To be honest, if he could wipe out all the pirates before the Fujian Navy arrived, this was the situation he would most like to see. But now it seems that it is difficult for him to exert force on the sea after all, facing the vast ocean.
