The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"But master, what do you say, the emperor's jade teapot means a gold medal for avoiding death?" Yan Nian was still confused.

"Because this pearl represents my subject's Bing Xin, that is, my heart, which cannot be poured out!" Yan Song laughed loudly: "This is the emperor's hint to me. As long as I am still this Bing Xin, he will not let me pour it out!" My heart poured out. Even if I offend the emperor in the future, as long as I take out this thing, as long as it is not treason, the emperor will calm down."

Chen Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Then the value of this thing is far more than any title or official position, because it is an amulet that can prevent death and appease anger."

Yan Song smiled slightly, put the jade teapot away properly, and gave the script of [Dingfeng~Bo] to Chen Yuanyuan: "Get ready for rehearsal. The emperor will have his first performance in Hangzhou."

When Chen Yuanyuan saw 【定风~波】, her eyes lit up, and she finished reading excitedly. She couldn't stop pestering Yan Song: "This time, the book is better than last time. The master is simply possessed by a god, why is he so talented?"

As long as it involves Kunqu opera performances, Chen Yuanyuan changed from being wary of Yan Song in the past, became hot and bold, and couldn't wait to pester Yan Song for more news.

She admired Yan Song's talent to the extreme.

Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's watery peach blossom eyes, Yan Song had to recite a few words of Amitabha Buddha silently in order to suppress the fire in his heart.

There are many things to do now, let's talk about it when we get to Hangzhou, eat this little fairy, ahem.

The plot was shattered, and Emperor Jiajing's dragon boat continued to head south.

……

A few days later, the fleet arrived in Jiading.

Outside Jiading City, there are two majestic troops waiting to escort them.

After defeating the Japanese pirates, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army and Yu Dayou's Yu family army were also called out to Jiajing by Yan Song, and they were transferred to escort them.

For Jiajing, who was afraid of death, this request was of course approved immediately.Knowing the danger of this southern tour, he was afraid that the guards around him would not be strong enough.Where will Yan Song be prevented from dispatching troops to escort him?

In front of him, there were two more armies, which made Jiajing even happier.

After all, Jiajing was still frightened by the ruthless attack of the big clan in the southeast. It was too scary to kill [-] Japanese pirates in one breath.Although the emperor's southern tour is majestic, safety comes first.

Emperor Jiajing looked down and saw that the two troops were well-trained and imposing, and he was very happy: "Whose army is this?"

Yan Song introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the army of Hu Zongxian and Ren Huan. In fact, before the Battle of Suzhou, I have mobilized their troops to escort them south according to their authority. If there is really danger, these two escorting armies can go into battle at any time .To ensure that the emperor's golden body will not be lost in the slightest."

Jiajing listened to Yan Song's make-up, and put on this second layer of insurance for himself. The remaining fear was transformed into full-hearted appreciation.This kind of talented and capable official can still flatter him, is capable and makes him feel at ease, how can he not let him appreciate it?

"'‖ Very good! What are the talents of these two generals?" Jiajing asked curiously.

Yan Song smiled: "Both of them are extremely talented generals and commanders. As long as the emperor gives an order, both of them can deal with Japanese pirates on their own. Among them, Hu Zongxian is a comprehensive handsome talent. He can cover the entire southeast and guard the emperor's home. "

"Managing the entire southeast?" Jiajing's eyes lit up: "Aiqing, why do you have such an idea?"

"Your Majesty, please meet these two." Yan Song smiled.

The establishment of the strategy of the six southeastern provinces is a major military reform, and Jiajing must nod.But for the eradication of Japanese pirates, this (getting good) is something that must be done.

But Yan Song will not be greedy for merit. Instead of giving Hu Zongxian a guarantee, it is better to let Hu Zongxian meet Jiajing himself, and personally show that he has won Jiajing's favor.In this way, if there is any fluctuation in the future, it will be a decision made by the emperor himself, and he will not let himself bear too much responsibility.

Yan Song, who knows history well, knows that Hu Zongxian is very capable, but he also has shortcomings, that is, he is greedy for money.When he served as the economic strategist of the six southeastern provinces, he used powerful commanders and tactics to alienate Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, split the Japanese pirates, and basically quelled the troubles of the Japanese pirates, but in the end he was dismissed because of corruption.

Jiajing met Hu Zongxian and Ren Huan, and asked them to talk about how to wipe out the Japanese pirates. Sure enough, Longyan was very happy.

Although Ren Huan is a capable general, Hu Zongxian is even more rare.

Chapter 269 Brief Introduction of the Six Southeast Provinces [1]

As Yan Song introduced, Hu Zongxian was a commander who had a strategic vision, an overall view, and knew himself and the enemy of the Japanese pirates. He analyzed the reasons for the formation of the Japanese pirates, their harm, and how to effectively deal with them.Finally, he reported to the emperor, requesting a charter to set up the post of manager of the six southeastern provinces.

"The strategy of the six southeastern provinces?" Jiajing frowned.

"Yes, it is to integrate and command all the troops and governors in the six southeastern provinces, and the presidential commander who is bigger than the governor." Hu Zongxian said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the biggest problem in dealing with the Japanese pirates now is that the Japanese pirates are always running around at the junction of several provinces. For example, the junctions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhejiang and Fujian are the hardest-hit areas of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates know that as long as they cannot defeat the officers and soldiers, they will enter these areas, and the governors and governors of the two provinces will argue with each other. Give the Japanese pirates an opportunity."

Jiajing couldn't help but nodded: "Yan Aiqing, what do you mean?"

"The minister agrees to set up the post of economic strategist in the six southeastern provinces." Yan Song looked at his words and saw Jiajing's face and tone, and seemed to disagree, so he changed the subject and said: "Hu Zongxian's suggestion is of course a mature plan for the country. But currently there are Two problems, one is that the six southeastern provinces have too much economic power, and the other is that there is no suitable candidate who can take up this position 090."

"Yes." Jiajing nodded in agreement: "The six southeastern provinces are strategically located, and the power is too great."

Yan Song's eyelids twitched.

He also knew that the six southeastern provinces had too much economic power, which was equivalent to the six richest southeastern provinces of Ming Dynasty, all of which were within their sphere of influence.But Ming Dynasty has only two capitals and thirteen provinces in total. Half of the country and half of the army are in the hands of one courtier. Even the emperor has to think about it for a long time.

But Yan Song knew that in order to win the anti-Japanese war as soon as possible, the military and military power must be highly concentrated in the hands of one person, so that there is hope of success.It may be difficult to defeat the Japanese pirates by relying on the kind of silo in the past.

Moreover, Yan Song wanted to use the opportunity of fighting against the Japanese to profoundly change the political situation in the southeast.Although he has controlled four of the six ministries in Nanjing, the bureaucracy of the Southeast Dashi clan is deeply entrenched and is still difficult to shake.

Right now, the best way is to use Japanese pirates!

The establishment of the six southeastern provinces is actually a move by Yan Song, a very clever move.

In normal times, it is difficult to find a reason to deal with the big officials in the southeast, the big gentry, the big merchants, and the big merchants.

But what about the war years?

During the Anti-Japanese War, once he mastered the position of manager of the six southeastern provinces, he could easily do some things that were difficult to do in the name of war mobilization and anti-Japanese, and profoundly change the political and economic structure of the southeast.

Every move of Yan Song's chess seems to be to deal with the Japanese pirates and the current difficulties, just like a "idle chess" step in a game, just follow the situation to deal with it, but only when the opponent is killed by it, will you find out that Yan Song has been playing for a long time Before falling "idle chess", he has become a deadly "general"!

But these words cannot be said even to Jiajing.

Jiajing's gaze returned to Yan Song: "The only subject I can trust so much is Yan Aiqing."

Yan Song's eyelids twitched, Jiajing wouldn't plan to make himself the governor of the six southeastern provinces, would he?This is not good.
