I am the king of the dead

Chapter 439 Preface to the Four Seasons, Life Severed

"I can't agree to your conditions right away. I will invite General Zhengyi from Zhoushan and Governor General Military Affairs from Nanya to discuss this matter together." Li Binyan made a decision, but did not agree immediately.

This matter will definitely be reported to the imperial court truthfully, and before it is reported to the imperial court, it must be dealt with.

This is not a problem that Li Binyan can solve alone.

General Zhengyi was Tao Jin. He arranged his affairs and went boating to Songjiang Prefecture Ship Division. Li Xian came very quickly, and he arrived at Songjiang Prefecture Ship Division on the third day.

Fandu Commander Ma Yun, Ping Jiangbo, Chen Yu, Wei Guogong, and Xu Chengzong also came to Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department. In addition to discussing the request of Huaiji, there is also the construction of Zhoushan Navy. It needs to be summarized, which is the top priority.

Li Xian left on purpose. There are now two hundred corrupt officials in the city of Nanjing. If anyone wants to rescue them, it will fall into Li Xian's hands.

You must know that in a team, the most difficult thing to find is the inner ghost. Li Xian doesn't think that all the people under him are dedicated to their duties for the Ming Dynasty.

Once Li Xian left Nanya, some people must have a lot of thoughts. Those who stayed in Nanya included Yue Qian, Ji Duo and Yuan Bin.

These three people have always had an indissoluble bond with the inner ghosts. If Li Xian can catch a group of inner ghosts this time, it will be a fish catch.

When all the people arrived, Li Binyan explained clearly what he had asked for.

He was a little distracted and said: "My attitude is that I don't agree with it. I think it's useless even if our generals and commanding officers go."

"If both agree, I will reserve my opinion, but I will wait for punishment."

Li Xian asked strangely: "What's the reason? I think it's necessary to send two hundred generals and commanders to try."

Li Binyan thought for a while and said: "A country has a sequence of four seasons."

"Specifically speaking, the resurrection of all things in spring belongs to benevolence. Correspondingly, benevolent government should also be implemented. For example, it is not allowed to kill young babies and destroy eggs, but to help the poor, lend seeds, help orphans, and forgive criminals."

"In summer, everything grows luxuriantly and belongs to loyalty. At this time, encouragement policies should be implemented to persuade heaven."

"In autumn, when all things are killed, it is urgent. Correspondingly, politics must be strict, such as five punishments and serious crimes."

"In winter, everything rests and is closed. Correspondingly, we must gather wealth, store it properly, and educate the people."

Tang Xing blinked, this Li Binyan hadn't seen him for a few days, and he looked more and more out of the ordinary.

With the universe in mind, looking up at the starry sky, the words are not profound, but I always feel a little strange sense of enlightenment.

Li Binyan continued: "There is no killing in spring, no suppression of water in summer, no forgiveness in autumn, and no rewards in winter."

"If we look at the rise and fall of the past dynasties, it's nothing more than this. At the beginning of the dynasty, benevolent government must be implemented, recuperate, and restore the population. After a period of time, various problems have appeared, and everything must be corrected and encouraged."

"After that, it must be the time to kill, so there is also the saying that after the autumn, when everything is in desolation, it is time to consume savings."

"The early years of Hongwu were benevolence, the middle years of Hongwu were summer, the last years of Hongwu were autumn, and the years of Jianwen were winter."

What will happen if you can't survive the winter?

Will lose the world.

Li Binyan continued: "There is nothing like this in all dynasties and dynasties. The law and the sky are in harmony with virtue, the elephant and the earth have no relatives, and the sun and the moon are selfless."

Li Xian looked at Li Binyan dully. After speaking with the universe in his heart, this man speaks in a divine way, but what he said is so reasonable!

Li Binyan continued: "In spring, the yang energy begins to rise, so all things grow; in summer, the yang energy finishes rising, so all things grow; in autumn, the yang energy begins to fall, so all things harvest; Everything hides."

"Sun and moon, stars and stars, yin and yang and five elements, go round and round, just like the changes of the four seasons, the movement of heaven and earth is also true."

"The sky overlooks all things, governs the cold and heat, travels around the sun and the moon, and regenerates the stars, which is the nature of the sky."

Li Binyan's first sentence is quoted from Hu Wei's summary of financial affairs, but it is also his various thoughts on national affairs when he looked up at the starry sky and recorded the star map.

"If you violate the order of the four seasons, you will lose your way, and you will have no way to have your country." Li Binyan said with a sigh.

He also thought of those soldiers who froze to death in Yanghe in July of the 14th year of Zhengtong. They violated the laws and regulations of the four seasons.

The corner of Li Xian's mouth twitched. The last time Li Binyan came up with a six-rank theoretical system based on the star magnitude, Li Xian thought that was Li Binyan's biggest gain from looking up at the sky.

But... that doesn't seem to be the case.

"What about our current matter?" Li Xian continued to ask.

Li Binyan looked at Huaiji. Although Huaiji was full of anticipation, Li Binyan still said: "The Ryukyu Kingdom has arrived in the winter sequence, and the vitality is exhausted. We can only wait for the spring sequence to arrive."

Li Bin didn't say the whole thing, but his expression was very clear. Even if the Ryukyu Kingdom sorted out its military affairs, it still couldn't escape the order of the four seasons.

Sending some concubine generals and commanding officers over there has no effect at all.

Huai Ji clasped his hands together and sighed heavily. He actually prepared a lot of money, but as Li Binyan said, it was not about money.

Li Xian nodded thoughtfully and said, "You convinced me, but I don't agree."

Tao Jin thought for a while and said, "I agree with dispatching the generals and commanding officers. We can't just sit idly by, otherwise who will listen to Daming in the future?"

"I also agree with Dudu Tao's statement." Ma Yun agreed with Tao Jin's opinion.

Uncle Pingjiang and Chen Yu hesitated for a while and said: "I also agree with Dudu Tao's thoughts. If you are afraid of dying and not being a soldier, you have to try. The Ryukyu Kingdom is very important to my Ming Dynasty, and it is a land of ten thousand countries."

Xu Chengzong did not express his position. He did not participate in the expropriation of barbarians and had no voting rights, and neither did Tang Xing.

Li Binyan nodded and said: "Two to three, then let's send it. If His Majesty blames it, I will be equally guilty."

"Tao Dudu's selection of generals and commanders will be left to you."

Tao Jin said, "Okay."

Huaiji was already heartbroken, but when he heard the resolution, he put a smile on his face, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Ryukyu Kingdom will give 5 taels of gold, flowers and silver for military expenses."

"When the soldiers arrive in Ryukyu, they will receive twice the salary of the Ming Dynasty. If they die in battle, they will receive double the compensation from the Ming Dynasty. Thank you for the fulfillment of your father's kingdom."

Huaiji had seen the battles of Yuan Bin and others, fast in and fast out, not procrastinating in his work, resolute in execution, detailed in the battle plan, and thoughtful, it was the strongest military operation he had ever seen.

5 taels to hire 300 people for two years. This fee is actually very expensive, but Huai Ji doesn't think it is expensive at all.

"Report!" A commanding officer came in and bowed his head and said: "General, governor... Ryukyu civil strife broke out, Wang Shizi Bulu and Wangdi Buli were both injured, the palace was completely destroyed, Shuri City was in flames .”

"The life and death of the king is uncertain."

When Huai Ji heard the news, he stood up abruptly, but couldn't catch his breath, and fell to the ground with a crash, fainting.

"Call the doctor!" Li Binyan shouted loudly.

After a while of confusion, Huaiji was in a hurry. After the doctor calmed down, Huaiji woke up, but sat on the chair with a pale face.

Li Binyan sat on the main seat, thought for a long time and said, "Please mourn."

The Ryukyu Kingdom can be said to be the achievement of Huaiji's life. He never won the exam. When he came to Ryukyu, he helped Shang Bazhi unify the Sanshan Kingdom, and the Ryukyu Kingdom has developed since then.

But as Li Binyan said, the vitality is dead, and we need to wait for the spring sequence, when all things will flourish.

All the people in Songjiang City's shipping department remained silent, and Li Bin finished speaking in half.

In fact, during Xuanzong's time, it was the Spring Preface and the Summer Preface, in the early Zhengtong year it was the Autumn Preface, and in the 14th year of the Orthodox Dynasty it was the Winter Preface, and the upgrade was cut off.

In fact, this Winter Preface didn't end until the death of King Jili.

Daming ushered in a new era of vitality.

The sequence of four seasons.

"Master Daoyuan, please go down and rest." Li Binyan said rather helplessly. Obviously, a decision in favor of the Ryukyu country has been obtained, but the vitality of the Ryukyu country has been cut off.

"Let's discuss the matter of the Zhoushan Navy." Li Binyan sat up straight and said, looking at the lonely back of Huai Ji.

The meeting is going on.

There is a difference of two and a half time zones between Bosi in Songjiang City and Samarkand, and the sunset in Samarkand is about an hour and a quarter of an hour later than in Songjiang Prefecture.

Inside the Orchid Palace, Wang Fuzheng and He Ye first reported their own policies.

"Dashi, we want to abolish Jiziya and zakat, win the support of most Uzbeks, and change it to a unified collection. Taxes, adjustments, and points for commercial vehicles are temporarily suspended. It varies from [-]% to [-]%." Wang Fu mentioned the first reform, which is the tax reform.

There are only two types of taxes in Samarkand, Jizya and Zakat. These two taxes are not as simple as leniency. It is entirely up to God to charge more or less.

Wang Fu continued: "We should have our own workshop to mint coins. We can't mint heavy coins and silver coins, but we can mint Tongbao."

The copper coins used in Samarkand at this time were Tuqishi copper coins, which were round on the outside and square on the inside, which was the same as the copper coins used in the Central Plains.

The Tuqishi Khanate is the Tuqishi Khanate that snatched Suiye City from Tang Xuanzong during the Kaiyuan period.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, the money used in the entire Western Regions was made of Tang-made copper coins minted by the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

The Tuqishi Khanate is mainly composed of Lite people, who are famous for their business. Therefore, 120 coins are about the same as the flying money in the Central Plains. They are all small copper coins.

Like the Song Dynasty, a large number of copper coins were left behind, but these copper coins were severely worn and could no longer be used as coins.

"Big stone?" Wang Fugang was about to continue, but he looked at the one on the throne and asked suspiciously.

Yexian seemed to have just come back to his senses and said: "Where did you talk?"

Looking at Yexian's appearance, Wang Fu knew that he was not listening.

During this period of time, he has been reporting on the implementation of his decrees, but like today, he has never listened carefully.

Yexian's energy is relatively low, although he is listening to these things, he is just listening. As for how much he has heard, Wang Fu doesn't know, and he doesn't know either.

He also sat up straight first, stretched his waist, and said with certainty: "Isn't it said that these matters should be handed over to the Wang Zizheng? And all of them have been hammered at the Advisory Council, so let's do it."

"And I want to prepare for the march into Batu Sarai. I don't need to report these things in the future."

"The Advisory Council has already sent it once."

I also want to emphasize that these policies were all discussed by the Advisory Council and sent to the Lan Palace with the hammer, and Ye Ye first signed and printed them for implementation.

Wang Fu put down the old note in his hand, knowing that it was useless to say it, he simply didn't bother to say it.

Wang Fu said very solemnly: "But there is one thing, Dashi must listen to me."

Yexian said with great interest: "It's about the war with Buzain. This guy's eyes seem to grow on the top of his head, and he actually asked me to leave Samarkand and return this city to him."

"Is he dreaming?"

The letter of credence to Pu Saiyin has already been echoed. The Timur King Pu Saiyin who lives in Herat requested that this city be returned to the Timurid Kingdom first, saying that it was the capital of the Timurid Kingdom.

"When I came, why didn't he say that this is the city rebuilt by Timur? He was in Herat himself, and when I shot down, he asked me for it? Humph." Ye Xian said quite disdainfully.

The Lan Palace in Samarkand was built by Timur, and it is the palace where he lives first, but when he came, it was occupied by Uzbeks, and it has nothing to do with Pusayn.

But Wang Fu shook his head and said: "Excessive asking price, just sit back and pay back the money, just like doing business, as long as he doesn't call, we will talk to him."

First, he said disdainfully to Wang Fu's lip service, "Just beat him to death."

Wang Fu took several deep breaths and told himself not to be angry. He shook his head and said, "Kill Pusain to death. There is another Uthman in front. Shall we continue to fight? When we reach Batu Salai, how many troops will we have?" "

"Even if you become a Khan in the Golden Horde, don't you have any authority like the current Khan in the Golden Horde?"

"Then it's better to fight with Lin and the Great Emperor."

He was silent for a long time and said, "You are right."

Only then did Wang Fu heave a sigh of relief, and he really fought in the past first, and it is not impossible to win, but this is no different from the westward advances of the past dynasties, and eventually lost its edge and was finally assimilated.

They are the minority.

Knowing that what Wang Fu said was reasonable, he sat up straight and said, "Then what do you say? He speaks so arrogantly, and he still looks like he deserves a beating. If he doesn't give him a beating, he will feel bad."

"Being angered by the Great Emperor in the east, and still having to be angered in the west, isn't it in vain that I came?"

Flipping the paper in his hand, Wang Fu turned to the page on the treatment of the army, and said, "We have reorganized our army in Helin. Now there are seven regiment battalions and one Qixue army."

"These eight battalions, we should give them the best treatment. It is best to let their descendants have no worries, be hereditary and be honored and raised from generation to generation, but they must be tested regularly."

"They will be Oishi's loyal supporters."

"Then form and absorb more adults to join the army, the treatment of this part is not so high, even the ordinary Ukrainian army and Turkic army, there are a total of four battalions."

4 Chapter Forty

The Oirats who came from a long distance need to maintain their loyalty, otherwise they will betray, so they must be treated as hereditary replacements to ensure that they will not assimilate.

However, it cannot be completely Turkic like the original White Horde Khanate, Green Horde Khanate, Timur Kingdom, and Ottoman Kingdom. Only a few people fought.

In the Sharia code, only religious believers have combat missions, and everyone else pays taxes to seek asylum. The victory of the war has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Wang Fu and Wang Yue finally decided to form an army dominated by Uzbeks.

Wang Fu said loudly: ""Zheng Shi" said: "Don't admire the past, don't keep the present, change with the times, adapt to the vulgar, change the vulgar and make it easy to teach, and only then can chaos be curbed."

He also pondered for a moment before asking, "Then how to guarantee their loyalty, instead of waiting for them to stab us in the back when we go west, has Wang Zizheng thought about this problem?"

Wang Fu nodded, he naturally thought of this question, and replied very quickly: "The common people like to live and are afraid of death, don't they want benefits and hate harm."
