Chapter 253 252 Pianting and sweeping the hole

Wei Guangde wanted to gain fame, but he didn't want to go barefoot. It just so happened that King Hui's former allies seemed to have a rift with him, and he could use Liang Gaofu's special identity to blow the emperor's ears.

After the influence gradually penetrates into the heart of Emperor Jiajing, he will uncover the bad deeds of King Hui, which will be the final kill.

As long as Emperor Jiajing sent someone to investigate thoroughly, it means there is no room for recovery. The officials who have been bullied by King Hui would not miss this opportunity.

Wei Guangde heard from Geng An that King Hui was really lawless in Junzhou. Officials were afraid of him, and what they rely on was the two generations of King Hui who were valued by Emperor Jiajing.

As for why Wei Guangde sent Geng An to hand over the knife to Liang Gaofu, it was not because Liang Gaofu had been away from Henan for many years. He only knew that King Hui was lawless in the local area, but he couldn't explain the specific method, so Chen Ju said that Liang Gaofu was just talking strange things.

After drinking with Chen Ju last time, Wei Guangde also realized that he would run out more after the sutra, not only to visit the officials in the court, but also to contact his fellow officials in the same year. Don’t just not contact him much because he is still observing politics now.

So the next day, Wei Guangde took the gift to visit Yan's mansion. In the following days, he kept visiting fellow villagers in Jiangxi and familiar officials. At the same time, he contacted Lao Kan and Zhang Ke and summoned the same year's people to make an appointment to go out to the city for a holiday.

During this period, Wei Guangde not only gave out the gifts he had received before in batches, but also paid hundreds of taels of silver to buy the gifts.

When visiting seniors in the officialdom, you can’t just go there with your hands and be honest.

After Geng An left the city to meet Liang Gaofu two days later, he had not come back in the past few days. I think he should have settled in Tongmiaoguan.

Wei Guangde is waiting for the news now, and then wait for Liang Gaofu to refine medicines. Then he inquire about the situation in the palace through Chen Ju. Once the time is right, he can submit a memorial to impeach King Hui and start his second shot in the Ming Dynasty.

Indeed, this is the second time that Wei Guangde has impeached an official. The first one is Liu Dazhang, the general of Xuanfu. Now he has been dismissed from his post and returned home and has become a commoner.

However, when the memorial was sent to the palace, Wei Guangde was still at Xuanfu, so he didn't feel anything. It was Zhang Ke who later told him about this.

He was really shocked to learn from the military department that Wei Guangde impeached Liu Dazhang, the general of Xuanfu, from the military department, to be afraid of the enemy and was afraid of the enemy.

You know, during the war, he was still trapped inside and had a dispute with the local military leaders.

During peacetime, civil officials naturally have great power and can crush military generals at will, but it is different in this wartime. As long as it is not intolerable, the court will temporarily suppress it.

In fact, when Wei Guangde reported the impeachment memorial, he was immediately kept by Sili. He was not criticized until the war report was sent to the cabinet and the Ministry of War.

The discussions that the imperial court wanted to increase silk production that he heard inexplicably disappeared.

According to the news that Wei Guangde found out, the court eventually gave up the court's approach of promoting this matter and instead used civil guidance.

A few more days passed in leisure and busyness. After summarizing the records of Ganoderma lucidum in ancient books collected and sorted by the Ministry of Rites and Hanlin Academy, Wu Shan finally delivered it to Emperor Jiajing in the form of a memorial.

"The grass and zhi are red, black, blue, white, yellow and purple. The colors are different, and the tastes are also different. However, they all say that those who eat for a long time can be light. Wang Chong said that zhi is born in the earth and the earth is harmonious, so zhi grass produces auspiciousness, and the fate records. The king is desirable, so zhi grass produces literary works. The selection of zhi grass produces three beautiful appearances in a year, and the old Han rituals have nine stems, and golden green leaves and red leaves are bright at night.

The Huangdi said: The Queen Mother sent an immortal to sing the song of immortality for ten thousand years, and gave the emperor a book of stone mail, jade books, and a twelve volumes of Shenzhi Picture on the Yaochi Pool of Langfeng. However, it is not common in the world and is rare for people. Therefore, all the obtained dynasties have been considered auspicious. The method of taking and eating has not been passed down. Only the emperor can understand the Tao and worship all the blessings, and all the good things that can be achieved can be achieved. The zi grass will be born from time to time and far and near will be given, and the local ministers who produce it have never dared to plan it."

Wu Shan and others summarized the six main categories of Ganoderma lucidum, namely red Ganoderma lucidum, green Ganoderma lucidum, yellow Ganoderma lucidum, purple Ganoderma lucidum, white Ganoderma lucidum and black Ganoderma lucidum. They also said that Ganoderma lucidum has been regarded as auspicious in all dynasties.

There are many myths and legends, and you can take a long time to relax your body. The Queen Mother also gave you the twelve volumes of the Jade Emperor's Divine Zhi Picture.

However, the most important thing is that the method of taking Ganoderma lucidum has not been recorded and passed down to this day.

As for Your Majesty, Ganoderma lucidum is mostly grown in rarely visited places, so it is difficult to find it.

In fact, the content of the memorial is still very objective, but some people advised Emperor Jiajing not to take Ganoderma lucidum, because the way to eat this thing has not been passed down and it is auspicious.

Less than half a day after the memorial was entered into the palace, the memorial was submitted to the cabinet's duty room after the memorial approved by the Lishu.

The imperial edict issued an imperial edict to collect the mysterious mountain and dragon, tiger and cranes roared three times and clouds, and the five mountaines were still visiting it.

As the news spread, not only the officialdom, but also the people.

The emperor wanted to find a purchase of Ganoderma lucidum, which was a big business. Once found, he would definitely receive a considerable reward.

The palace sent a special envoy to Yuanyue, Longhu, Crane Ming, Sanmao, Qiyun Mountains and Five Mountains to collect Ganoderma lucidum. At the same time, governments from all over the country also visited the people.

If the emperor has something to do, he will immediately be busy with bad ministers and mobilize the whole country to find Ganoderma lucidum.

These have nothing to do with Wei Guangde now.

He knew that Ganoderma lucidum had also seen the pictures. It was in his previous life, but he would not be able to see it in this life.

I regretted not preparing these legendary items early. Although Wei Guangde did not offer Ganoderma lucidum to Emperor Jiajing, he thought of another thing that was hyped by later generations - Thousand Years of Ginseng.

Officials and the people are looking for Ganoderma lucidum. Wei Guangde took another approach to send Zhang Ji to look for top ginseng collections in major pharmacies in Beijing.

However, what surprised Wei Guangde was that at this time, there seemed to be no shortage of ginseng in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Well, according to the news that Zhang Ji came back from inquiry, there are many ginseng for sale in major pharmacies.

After asking the source carefully, I found that most ginseng is produced in Liaodong. At this time, not only the Han people ran to Changbai Mountain in the north, but also to collect wild ginseng from Xing'an Mountain. Even the Jurchens outside the pass collected wild ginseng in a crazi manner, which was used to trade with the Ming Dynasty during the mutual market in exchange for the production and necessities of their daily necessities.

But there were not many Han people who dared to collect ginseng. The current Jurchens are fierce and wandering in the Ming Dynasty. They also live a slave society, forming three classes: aristocrats, civilians and slaves.

With the development of society, slave owners became increasingly greedy, and the Jurchens fought each other and plundered the Han people as slaves. Naturally, they would not be ruthless about these Han people who ran out of the Han territory alone.

The news that Wei Guangde not only remembered the Qing palace dramas he had watched in his previous life, but when superiors and subordinates met, they would call themselves slaves. Now, it seems that the so-called Qing Dynasty is still a semi-slave and semi-feudal empire.

After taking the time, Wei Guangde also went to find the businessmen to inquire about the current situation of the Jurchens in Liaodong. After all, they went south to destroy the Han people in later generations.

When I was a slut, I could only think about it when I was fine. Since I have become an official of the Ming Dynasty, I must do it as soon as possible if I can eliminate hidden dangers.

After chatting with multiple businessmen, the current situation of the Jurchens gradually took shape in Wei Guangde's mind.

The current Jurchen people are roughly divided into three categories, and two forces have formed a climate and appear in tribal form, namely the Haixi Jurchen and the Jianzhou Jurchen.

The Jianzhou Jurchens seemed to be the tribe where Nurhaci was located.

Wei Guangde still has an impression of this.

The last category is the so-called Ye Jurchen, which should be the first form of life for the Jurchens.

It is estimated that after contacting the Han people, some powerful families began to consciously absorb and swallow up some nearby Jurchen families, and gradually formed the Jurchen tribe.

From this time on, the Jurchen talents transitioned from clan society to slavery society.

Because of the bitter and cold north, life was difficult, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, some Jurchen forces began to migrate south and finally came into contact with the first Ming Dynasty.

Around the Hongwu period, they settled in the Fengzhou area of ​​the Suifenhe River Basin.

In the first year of Yongle, Aha, the chief of the Huligai tribe, surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, where the Ming Dynasty established Jianzhou Wei.

In the tenth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty established the Jianzhou Left Guard, and the capital was also in Fengzhou. Mengge Timur, the chief of the Jurchen Odolian tribe, was the commander.

In the seventh year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty established the Jianzhou Right Guard in the Santuhe area, and appointed Fancha, the younger brother of Mengge Timur, as the commander.

At this point, the three guards of Jianzhou began to take shape and became a powerful force in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

Another force in Jianzhou Jurchens alone is naturally the Haixi Jurchens. Like Jianzhou Jurchens, they continue to migrate south due to the harassment of the "savage" Jurchens and Mongolian cavalry.

In fact, the various tribes of the Haixi Jurchens had established contacts with the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty, and like the Jianzhou Jurchens, they changed from the initial subordinate relationship to the tribute relationship.

By more than ten years ago, the Jurchens in Haixi completed their migration and formed the four tribes of Yehe, Huifa, Hada and Ula, called the four tribes of Haixi or the four tribes of Hulun.

The Yehe tribe was named after its residence in the Yehe River northeast of Kaiyuan. It was also close to the North Pass of Mashi, which was established in the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming people also called it Beiguan.

Huifa tribe was named after it lived in Huifa River.

The Hada tribe lived in the Xiaoqing River Basin, also known as the Hada River. It is named after it and because it is close to Guangshun Pass, the Ming people also called it Nanguan.

The Ula tribe was named after its residence in the Ula River Basin, and its capital is located in the Ula City.

In this way, a third force except Mongolia was formed outside the Liaodong Military Town, the Jurchens and tribal forces also increased rapidly with the continuous trade with the Han people.

After understanding the basic situation, Wei Guangde went into the Hanlin Academy's library to check records. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty reduced its tribute policy, and the number of tributes in the Jianzhou Jurchens was limited to within a hundred people, while the number of Jurchens in Haixi was not allowed to exceed fifty people, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Jurchens.

The Jurchens could not obtain benefits through tribute, so they chose to rob themselves.

At that time, Dong Shan, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, gathered the Jianzhou Jurchens and some Haixi Jurchen tribes, about 15,000 people, and began to invade the Liaodong region.

When they arrived in Liaodong, they robbed crazily, including people and livestock.

In the Ming Dynasty, envoys were sent to question, and they immediately expressed their surrender, which means "verbally disobeying".

In the third year of Chenghua in the Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chenghua Zhu Jianshen sent an envoy to bring imperial edicts to Dong Shan and gave a final warning to Dong Shan.

Dong Shan re-used the same trick, expressed his conviction, and went to Beijing to admit his mistake in person, but asked for more rewards, but was rejected by the Ming Dynasty.

So, Dong Shan was furious and threatened to go back and lead the Jurchens to attack the Ming Dynasty.

If Dong Shanzhen returns to the Jurchens, it will definitely become a major concern for the Ming Dynasty, just like Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Kingdom, who released Wanyan Aguda.

The Jurchens lived in the mountain villages of Baishan and Black Water, and were good at mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. The Ming army was helpless against them and had long adopted conservative defense policies.

At that time, Gaogang, the head of the Ministry of Rites, suggested that Emperor Chenghua should detain Dong Shan. Emperor Chenghua followed his advice and ordered General Zhao Fu, Guangning, to detain Dong Shan and others.

As soon as this happened, Dong Shan suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed the Ming army to escape. After hearing this, the Jurchens accompanied him also used swords to kill him, and were intercepted by the Ming army and arrested on the spot.

After this incident, General Li Fu and Li Bing believed that the war was inevitable, so they submitted a memorial and requested a conquest.

In September, Emperor Chenghua ordered the Liaodong army to attack the Jianzhou Jurchens and warned the Haixi Jurchens not to get involved.

Subsequently, Li Fu and Li Bing's troops divided into five groups to advance towards the Jianzhou Jurchens, and North Korea also sent 10,000 people to assist in the war.

On September 20, the Korean army captured the Huligai troops, and its chief Li Manzhu was captured.

The Ming Dynasty army also entered Jianzhou, killed thousands of prisoners, and regained 1,165 looted people. Soon after, Emperor Chenghua issued an order to execute Dong Shan.

After the Jianzhou Jurchens suffered a crushing defeat, they did not stop the war, but continued to invade Liaodong.

In the fifteenth year of Chenghua, Emperor Chenghua once again joined forces with North Korea to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty army killed 695 people, captured 486 people, captured countless villages, obtained thousands of cattle and horses, and countless armors.

You should know that the initial population of the Jianzhou Jurchens was only 12,000 during the Chenghua period, which was the smallest among the three Jurchen groups. After this battle, it can be said that the losses were quite heavy.

"Book of Han: The Book of the Huns": "I have plowed the courtyard, swept the villages, and put them on the counties."

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's military strike against the Jianzhou Jurchens was also called "Liting Sweeping Caves" or "Chenghua Liting".

After two encirclements and suppression, the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe suffered a huge disaster and had to stop the war with the Ming Dynasty.

Dong Shan and Li Manzhu's descendants chose to endure humiliation and lie in hardships and taste gall. They once again accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty, traded with the Ming Dynasty, and vigorously imported oxen and agricultural tools, and developed agricultural production in order to restore their strength.

Until now, what Wei Guangde knew from the businessmen was that it seemed that the Jianzhou Jurchens had developed again, and their population was far higher than that of that year.

But at this moment, another more explosive news came. Zhang Juyou, a young man from Wanping County, Beijing, picked five Ganoderma lucidums on Qianling Mountain to offer to Emperor Jiajing.

After receiving the auspiciousness of Ganoderma lucidum, Emperor Jiajing was naturally very happy and rewarded him with "gold, silk, silver coins". From then on, the subjects who offered the zhi came one after another.
