The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 120 The sea map is obtained! What choice did Xu Shangshu make?
Liu Daxia went to get the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West.
Tang Hao was standing in the courtyard waiting for him.
Later generations like to call Liu Daxia the "eternal sinner". Why?
Putting aside what Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang did of the Huguang Township Party, Liu Daxia did two things that were enough to nail him to the pillar of historical shame.
The first thing is to hide Zhang Fuzheng Annan's files!
At that time, the two sects of Ren and Xuan stopped fighting and completely reduced the defense line of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Xuande even "abandoned Jiaozhi" and directly conferred Le Li as the King of Annam. Since then, Annan has continued to harass the border and plunder without plan.
The negative impact caused by Xuande's "abandonment of Jiaozhi" was long-term and fatal. This incident dealt a heavy blow to the international reputation of the Ming Dynasty in the Western region and shook the Ming Dynasty's status as a suzerainty. No one cared about this. Xuande Dynasty On the contrary, everyone in the hall was immersed in the joy of getting rid of the heavy burden of Annan!
The great saintly grandson who was personally cultivated by Emperor Yongle did not seem to be able to achieve the goal of "prospering the Ming Dynasty for three generations"!
Because Li Dongyang suddenly remembered that the current Chief Sima of the Ministry of War was not Liu Daxia, but Xu Jin!
Liu Daxia hurriedly explained: "All the Zheng He files that passed through my hands are now here!"
Seeing Tang Hao take out the imperial edict and the fire card, Li Dongyang was not angry but happy, and immediately sneered again and again.
Tang Hao nodded when he heard this and said with a smile: "Why is there such a big battle, even the Imperial Army is dispatched?"
"Your Majesty responded very quickly this time, which deserves praise!"
There is no doubt that this is indeed a precious information left by Zheng He.
Zheng He only relied on the experience of the Chaohu Navy to train sailors. However, these so-called experiences were not reliable, and even many of the experiences at sea were wrong!
Because Chen Kuan, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, was walking over with a group of soldiers from the imperial army at this moment.
At that time, Emperor Yongle insisted on sailing to the Western Sea against all opinions, and ordered the prince to lead six ministers to personally supervise the construction of ships.
"It's all here!"
Tang Hao even found a notebook inside, which was written as "Three Treasures"!
Unsurprisingly, this is most likely a note written by Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, which is priceless.
"Falsely conveying the imperial edict, deploying troops without an edict, and intending to commit rebellion!"
"This is the imperial edict and the fire card. Do you want to open your dog eyes to see clearly?"
So Xu Jin directly pointed the finger at Li Dongyang and said expressionlessly.
Watching the group of people leaving, Tang Mu was also a little worried.
Ministry of War!
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.
"Don't worry, it's enough!"
Tang Mu walked forward with a smile and asked in a low voice: "Did you get the things?"
Chen Kuan stared at Tang Hao sharply, and his words were no longer as close as usual.
But what about the second Zheng He file?
And he, as a new official, had just started to put out the fire before he took office. He had to put out the fire for Tang Hao before he started!
Seeing all the Nine Lords looking at him, Xu Jin also understood that this was the time when he had to take a stand and show his attitude!
He has not forgotten Tang Hao's bloody threats!
Li Dongyang's face instantly turned pale, and then he coughed violently.
After hearing this, the little emperor's heart finally returned to his stomach.
And Tang Hao is an out-and-out military commander, and he is also the first person to openly promote fallacies and heresies. Xu Jin befriending him and even becoming his party member does not seem like a wise choice!
Looking at the imperial edict and the fire sign, Tang Hao showed a happy smile on his face.
Why the hell are you doing this?
"How ridiculous!"
Tang Hao looked around with a look of displeasure on his face, and roared: "Who the fuck is the lock on the ground?"
Unauthorized deployment of troops without an imperial edict is an out-and-out death penalty. How could it be so easily uncovered?
By opening his mouth, he wanted to accuse Tang Hao of "displacing troops without permission"!
He turned around in disbelief and saw that the person who spoke was none other than the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian!
"Let's go and meet those civil servants and gentry!"
Holding the wooden box in his arms, Tang Mu decided to lead his troops back to the camp first, and then immediately sent a message to the old Duke Zhang Mao, asking him to fish it out!
No matter what, we can't really let Brother Hao fight alone!
Soon Liu Daxia hurried over holding a wooden box.
"This sentence should be asked by our family, right?"
Tang Mu nodded solemnly and was about to speak, but there was no time.
When all the soldiers saw this, they were so frightened that they retreated.
Li Dongyang, the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, was the first to bear the brunt and asked Tang Hao sternly what his intention was to mobilize troops privately.
"Who told this imperial edict without the approval of the cabinet?"
Liu Jian ignored Li Dongyang's questioning gaze and said calmly: "This matter is handled by my officer. Because it is confidential, I did not make it public!"
"Your Majesty, please..."
"Has this imperial edict passed the cabinet? Has this fire sign been inspected by the Minister of War? You, Tang Hao, are clearly pretending to pass on the imperial edict!"
All the way into the palace city, the imperial soldiers dispersed on their own.
His temper suddenly rose, and Tang Hao galloped his horse, knocking the door of Sima Mansion to the ground again.
Tang Hao then spoke in a low voice and said, "Da Ju, what's the situation now?"
Chen Kuan smiled helplessly upon hearing this, not knowing what to say.
The first time you hid the files of Zhang Fuzheng Annan, you said that the war should not be started lightly. I can believe that you really thought about the people of the southwest and did not want them to bear the suffering of war!
Just when Xu Jin was in panic all day long, His Majesty the Emperor's decree suddenly came!
Xu Jin, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, succeeding Liu Daxia and taking charge of the military affairs of the world!
Not to mention the route charts, these most critical things, Zheng He's fleet had nothing. They could only bravely brave the wind and go to sea, and finally completed the historic feat of seven voyages to the Western Ocean!
To put it bluntly, these seven voyages to the Western Seas were accomplished with the lives of many naval officers, including those ship construction plans, nautical charts, information about surrounding countries, etc., all of which contain information about all naval officers and soldiers. Blood and tears from above and below!
The result is good, you Liu Daxia are noble and great, you Liu Daxia are upright for the country and the people, and you have completely burned the fruits of decades of labor of these navy men with a fire!
"Tang Hao, you can't break your promise, let my grandson go!"
Before Li Dongyang finished speaking, an old voice came from beside him.
The Ming Dynasty also lost a great opportunity to regain Annan and extend its tentacles to the West again!
This is Liu Daxia's first crime!
Also during the Chenghua period, Emperor Xianzong wanted to resume Zheng He's voyages to the West, recreate the grand occasion of "all nations coming to court", and establish the status of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state, so he asked the Ministry of War for the files of Zheng He's voyages to the West, and tasted the benefits. Liu Daxia used his old tricks to hide Zheng He's files again.
Is it possible that he, the chief minister of the cabinet, is really going to defect again and again and form a party with Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan?
Everyone looked at each other in shock, not daring to say a word.
During the later Chenghua period, Wang Zhi, the official of Xichang and the eunuch of the current dynasty, was defeated by the Xuanweisi of Laos due to the decline of Annan. Therefore, Wang Zhi wanted to seize the opportunity to send troops to Annan to regain the old territory of Jiaozhi, and Chenghua The emperor also had the ambition to expand his territory, so he asked the Ministry of War for the files of Zhang Fu and Pinnan during the Yongle period!
After confirming that nothing was missing, Tang Hao nodded.
"The cabinet is the cabinet, and the Ministry of War is the Ministry of War. Since when did Bachelor Li have the right to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of War?"
"Haha, who said that I am dispatching troops without an order?" Tang Hao asked with a smile: "Your Majesty gave me a verbal order, and the rest of the problem lies with the Ministry of War!"
Tang Hao carefully read through this book, which included ship construction plans, navigation charts, information records about surrounding countries, etc.
This is Liu Daxia's second crime!
"Do you know that you broke the whole world?" Chen Kuan scolded angrily in a low voice.
"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, you, Tang Hao, are the first to mobilize troops without an edict, and the one you mobilized is the Beijing army!"
Then, Liu Daxia, who was still the minister of the Ministry of War at the time, went into hiding and plausibly told Yu Zijun, the Minister of War at the time, "As soon as the military provocation started, the Southwest Empire was ruined." Yu Zijun then lied that the files were lost and could not be found. Wang Zhi did not dare to act rashly due to Zhang Fu's experience in Ping'an, so the matter was left alone.
Tang Hao immediately closed the box and then glanced at Liu Daxia.
Since the Hongwu period, it has been implementing an extremely strict sea ban policy, known as "nothing is allowed to enter the sea"!
The Chaohu Navy that once defeated Chen Youliang in a water battle at Poyang Lake, and the invincible Navy that once helped Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang unify the south of the Yangtze River and pacify the enemy, gradually declined and became decadent because of this!
Tang Hao and the little emperor looked at each other, and both could see the smile in each other's eyes.
As expected, Tang Hao nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao turned around and left.
Soon the two arrived at Qianqing Palace. As soon as they entered the main hall, they were surprised to see all the officials from the Nine Qing Dynasty here, and even some more officials.
From then on, Xu Jin really became the Minister of War!
"Well, I got it!" Tang Hao handed the box to Tang Mu, "Be sure to protect the things inside, and immediately take the Hubao Battalion to escort it back to the Dongguanting Camp!"
The words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
"Tang Hou, are you doing this on purpose?"
The same plot, the same outcome, all ended in nothing.
Until the wise and powerful Emperor Yongle was born, he immediately began to arrange Zheng He's voyages to the West after he ascended the throne, making it a national policy and state affairs, and promoting Yongle's new policy to reform the past!
Fortunately, he didn't do this, and there was still room for change.
"No one is allowed to open it without my order, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"
"Li Dongyang, which one of your eyes saw that I am dispatching troops without an imperial edict?"
Tang Hao, on the other hand, looked at Li Dongyang with interest, his joking eyes as if he were looking at a clown.
Liu Jian, help Tang Hao, how is this...possible?
Li Dongyang asked himself that he already knew Liu Jian well enough having been an official in the cabinet for so many years.
For Li Dongyang, just like Liu Daxia, Tang Hao would never be used to it.
Then, before the little emperor could speak, the civil servants and gentry began to attack.
Li Dongyang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked unwillingly: "What about this fire card? When did the fire card arrive? The Ministry of War, Grand Sima..."
Now there is a big Sima who has just taken office!
According to the usual rules, Ke Dao Yan Guan can also go to court. After all, although their rank is low, they have special powers.
In fact, the reason why Tang Hao acted in such a big way and caused such a good show was to force Xu Jin to express his stance!
Even Liu Daxia was so angry that he burned Zheng He's archives and "destroyed them to uproot them"!
On the contrary, Liu Daxia became famous because of this and became a loyal and virtuous man praised by both the government and the public, paving the way for his rise to the top.
Previously, the reason why Liu Jian expressed his position on behalf of the cabinet and agreed to the request of the new General Constitution Zhang Fuhua, Li Dongyang can understand that Liu Jian agreed for the sake of the overall situation and to clarify the administration of officials!
But now, at this moment, why would Liu Jian help Tang Hao?
At that time, there was a severe shortage of talents in the maritime field. Not only professional sailors, but also shipbuilding craftsmen, and charts of sea routes...it could be said that there was nothing!
Tang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to take it, opened the box and saw that it was filled with documents and files.
If Liu Daxia had revealed just now that he had really burned Zheng He's files, Tang Hao would never have tolerated him. He would have killed his whole family and asked him to go down and apologize to Zheng He!
"At the feet of the Emperor, the most virtuous place, you, Tang Hao, have no orders to mobilize troops. What do you want His Majesty to think? What do you want those civil servants and gentry to think?"
So, the new Grand Sima, Xu Jin and Xu Shangshu, what choice will you make?
Everyone's eyes, including Tang Hao and the little emperor, all looked at Xu Jin.
But when he came to the door, he saw that the door was locked tightly.
"Xueshi Li, this matter is confidential, so I have no comment!"
Now the Metropolitan Procuratorate has turned "reporting on rumors" into "power of investigation". It can be said that the power has increased sharply from virtual to real, so it is not impossible for a few more people to come to court!
Tang Hao walked into the main hall and took the lead in kneeling down to salute the little emperor.
But Tang Mu believed in Tang Hao. Since this guy dared to do this, he must have the confidence and reason to do so!
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, return to camp!"
"Your grandson will be home before dark, otherwise you can go and beat the drum to complain!"
"Marquis Zhongshan, your majesty has summoned me to come to the palace immediately to see you!"
Picking up a book at random is the ship construction drawings.
Moving troops without permission is tantamount to conspiracy. This is a fact that no one can wash away!
"any left?"
The name of a sinner throughout the ages is truly deserved!
Fortunately, Liu Daxia didn't really do this. He left himself a way out and a way out.
This is the Ming Dynasty!
"This is the imperial edict for troop deployment and the fire card for troop deployment, put it away!"
So as long as this crime is proven, Tang Hao will be finished!
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and without arguing, he followed him alone and entered the palace to meet the saint.
"But the imperial edict has not passed the cabinet, and the fire card has not passed the Ministry of War, so..."
Craftsmen all over the world heard the news and gathered at Nanjing Longjiang Treasure Shipyard. Tens of thousands of craftsmen painstakingly designed the blueprints of these treasure ships and then successfully built them, laying the foundation for Zheng He's heroic voyages to the West!
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kuan reacted instantly and looked at the burly man next to him in disbelief.
Xu Jin was actually a little dazed at the moment. Ever since Tang Hao talked to him that day, he had been having trouble sleeping and eating. He expected Tang Hao to do what he said and support him to further become the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he also felt anxious about it!
After all, if Tang Hao really supports him to become the Minister of War, then it will be difficult to clarify the relationship between Xu Jin and Tang Hao, and there is no chance that they will form factional followers!
"Wait a minute!" Chen Kuan shouted, and then quickly looked around to make sure no one was paying attention. Then he took out two things from his arms and gave them to Tang Hao.
If you want to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, then you must make your position clear!
Don't be like Liu Daxia, willingly serving as a lackey for the civil servants, the Huguang Township Party, and Li Dongyang!
Today's second update, the situation in the court has been greatly improved. The General Constitution and the Chief Sima have all been replaced by new people. The plot will be more exciting in the future. Readers and friends, please vote for it and subscribe to support it. Thank you very much!
