[Comprehensive] Be with Ancient Celebrities

Speaking of the project division this time, there is no reason for the cake to become bigger, and it is also very cumbersome. Not to mention anything else, it is not a small matter to find the descendants of those key figures after all these years.Especially like that Liu Daxia, who did such a thing that the Wanli Emperor even turned the tables, they can directly come to arrest people and try the case?At any rate, the old man was called the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi" together with Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng, and was also called the "Three Heroes of Chu" with Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing. Can you really overthrow such a person with one blow?

How could it be possible, at any rate, he was also a famous official who was favored by Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty and assisted Xiaozong in realizing the "Hongzhi Zhongxing". He also dedicated his youth to Daming.You can't wipe out all the good deeds that people have done just because you haven't figured out why you want to steal the charts, and come to the door viciously.He was given the title of Taibao by Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty to return to his hometown; he was 81 years old when he died, and he was a well-known longevity elder in the local area;Such a person is not well-documented, nor is he guilty of a heinous crime, so the sincerity cannot be moved casually.

By analogy, [-]% of the people involved in this year and related to these things need to be interviewed secretly because of the time span and various political reasons.If the family has undergone major changes over the years, such as Liu Daxia whose house was raided by Liu Jin like this, then the trouble will be even more.Who did this copying?Who confiscated all kinds of books, calligraphy and paintings during the raid?Did the drawings change hands before that?These are all questions that need to be carefully visited and slowly polished.

You said, with so many problems, if Ayu is alone, how should I investigate them?When will I check again?Another one, Zhang Cheng said that it was Liu Daxia who took the chart. Is this really taken away by others?Hey, that's really hard to say!As far as the filth between civil servants and eunuchs is concerned, to be honest, based on what Ayu has known for a long time, half of them are good.Nearly half of the possibility is: they couldn't find it themselves, and they didn't want to be attached to any responsibility, so they found someone who was relatively harmless among the last people they came into contact with to top the tank.

It's like Liu Daxia, who ransacked the house once, and couldn't find out what was in the house. Isn't this the best person to top the tank?So, Ayu felt that it was really unreliable to rely on them to provide information and go to these officials to find information.If you have this kung fu, you might as well try to recruit from other places.

Turn it over again, and you will find that it may be faster to search from the source of the most advanced ships available.In the place closest to the sea, because there are the most arrogant pirates in the entire Ming Dynasty, the most extravagant sea merchants, the bravest sailors who fight the waves, and the treasure ship craftsmanship hidden under the doors of each big family. Shipwright, so his focus is still on the southeast.

He believes that with these people, even if there is no trace left by Zheng He, he can still piece together some things by relying on these people, at least the charts of Malacca, Dongpu, etc., and the ships currently driving in the offshore, etc. , will never fail.If there is the cooperation of the local Jinyiwei, then... with Jinyiwei's ability to spy on people's homes, maybe once the news passes, they will be able to send some eyebrows.How much faster can this speed be?

"Ayu, don't you want to go? This trip is quite a lot of trouble. The last time I went there, it took just over a month and brought back a thousand taels of silver. You are now a hundred households. If you go, I'm afraid it will be three or five." There are thousands of them.”

Jin Yiwei is the most special personal guard among the twelve guards. The key point is that, from the beginning of establishment, life is like a business. The more they work, the more troublesome they are, the better their income will be.On the other hand, if all the officials in Daming became Hai Rui, it would be over, Jin Yiwei would starve to death.

Well, it’s far away, anyway, this is another reason why Ayu sent the work to the head of Jinyiwei so quickly, the benefits are too great.Since ancient times, eating alone has always been a taboo in any place and in any group.Not to mention being in a military unit like Jinyiwei.Even if it's not that troublesome, if you want to catch it alone, then I'm sorry, even if I don't stab you in the back, I guess it will make two stumbling blocks silently.Then you can still do this?

On the contrary, Ayu is like this now, with such a push, all the famous and well-connected people will rise up at once. As long as they have sharp eyes and ears and know who the job picker is, they will smile a little when they see Ayu.There are even a few who are not very familiar with walking around in the past, and they will come over to reveal some other news to show their favor, such as the possible benefits of this trip on a business trip.

"Who made me belong to the Experience Department now? This is my job to sort out news."

"Oh, that's a shame, so, brother, I'll talk to the other people who went down, don't say anything else, I'll get you some of these local specialties, otherwise you'll be blind point."

mutual affection?Hehe, to be honest, these few have known each other for a short time, and they are still the kind who nod their heads when they see it. This kind of affection... is really violent.

It's not just the Jinyiwei in the capital who are emotionally violent. To be honest, in recent years, oh, or in other words, the Jinyiwei all over the country have been quite passionate in the past few years when Ayu was tossing.Well, who is it? There are always dozens of homes to copy every year. I guess the passion is just as fierce.It's all about money, don't forget, according to the usual practice.Thirty percent of the things obtained from the house raids belonged to hard work.Think about how Emperor Wanli has focused on copying rich people in the past few years, think about the money and land properties that have been copied into the treasury, hey, in this place, many Jinyiwei family properties have doubled, and they are still upright and have a good reputation. You said, there are so many examples, how hot are the other guards who haven't had their turn yet?The eyes secretly staring at those extravagant and wealthy families are all red, and one eye can be kept open in the middle of the night when they are vigilant.I'm afraid that these families will transfer their property, which will reduce their future income.

Under such circumstances, the Jinyi Guards in the southeast suddenly received the latest news from the capital, saying that their superiors were eyeing the sea merchants. Tell me, what mood are they in?Silver flowers almost flashed in the eyes, okay?That's the richest family in this area. If it can become... oh my god, the whole family can turn around completely with this hammer...

What are you talking about?Collusion?A tip-off?Dear, this is the operation of Jin Yiwei who you don't know.Don't look at the entire Ming Dynasty from beginning to end, the three words Jinyiwei are majestic, but in fact the number of people... is just that small.Most of the people who are distributed in various places are spies, either in the guise of small merchants, or as small clerks.And as a spy in the middle and lower classes, how much connection can he have with these big businessmen?

Even if there are so many that may be related, with this identity, can the benefits of daily life be as much as the meat after the house raid?Besides, relying on this layer of skin on your body in the past, you can get some benefits for a long time. After all, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, but now the higher-ups are going to make a fuss, how dare you do it blindly?Since ancient times, in places like spy organizations, internal methods have always been more ruthless than external methods, and ordinary people don't have such great friendship, let them work hard.You can get rich if you work hard, how can they be disobedient.

So, the result is just like what Ayu thought, the local professionals provided information very quickly and accurately, starting from how many ships a family has, to who colludes with whom, who has a shipyard, and who has islands on the sea , To so-and-so's house has a close relationship with pirates, so-and-so is a partner with the largest maritime merchant, etc., a thread is strung together like this.

And when the clues were connected bit by bit in Ayu's hands, Ayu was really relieved.Fortunately, these bastards, although they are greedy for money, can even give the charts to foreigners for profit, but they still know what it means to keep the bottom line.Looking at the number of their ships and their staffing, one can tell that these people must still have a blueprint in their hands, and those who follow them to the sea must also have a part of the sea chart in their hands.

"How about it? Is there any news coming? What can be found from the descendants of those adults?"

As a Baihu, he is still a popular Baihu who can talk to the emperor and take on tasks. Ayu already has his own office in the Experience Department and has his own subordinates.These days, messages are sent one after another, and the relationship diagrams are circled on the white cloth on the wall, making it look like a military meeting.The whole courtyard was a bit solemn, and even the adults above couldn't help but come over and take a look.As a result of the concern of the superiors, the hands and feet of the people working below became more agile and faster.It really made Ayu feel a little bit of what it was like when he was the prime minister: the world is in my hands...

"What else can it be? Several so-called upright officials' families are very rich. Just looking at the appearance, there are no such so-called nautical charts. Even the Western objects look a little old, not like new ones. , but in terms of value, it looks okay. I thought, maybe these and the southeast..."

It's a pity that no matter how neat they are, the quality of Jinyiwei's personnel determines their tone. Listening to what they said, they don't look like serious people, but rather like the kind of people who step on the plate.What's more terrible is that the matching candidates are all good candidates, which makes Ayu's dream of being a prime minister instantly extinguished.

"It's also possible that the spoils were not evenly distributed? Or someone went up the wall and pulled the ladder? Or maybe he was too stupid to let someone scold him? They are not good people. I guess it could be any situation."

"If this is the case, these people may be useful in the future. Hurry up and check if they have correspondence or something. The gift list is also fine. You should be able to see some points in the old account books."

"Hey, if you put it this way, there may be clues in the burials of these people... Looking in the tombs of those people from those years, there are probably a lot of clues."

"You can do it. You can't do this unless it's a last resort. If you miss it, it will be troublesome. Those schoolboys may hang themselves directly."

Hehe, Ayu was almost dumbfounded, okay, all these routines are really deep enough, and more importantly, what they consider is not that they can't do it, they can't do it, but that they can't do it. The trouble after being discovered shows that they did not have a burden!Who are these people around? Compared with them, Ayu feels that she is really too kind.

Enen, change the subject quickly, otherwise if this surprised expression is seen by his subordinates, he will lose his authority as an official.

"Okay, don't make such a big noise. I don't know what the boss said. If it doesn't work out, we will suffer instead. Come, take a look here. These few families seem inconspicuous, but they happen to be married to both parties. , and in the last generation, this marriage has not been broken, you can check it out, you can't tell me about the so-called non-contact..."

"My lord, are you saying that they may be disconnected? So suspicious? Hey, how many years has it been? What are you thinking? Could it be that you are guilty of being a thief? Then this guilty person is a bit slow."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and investigate it together. If the crimes of leaking court secrets and selling important weapons of the court are true, then these are considered to be within the nine clans, and none of them can escape. It doesn't matter if he is guilty or not. It's us , if you don’t check it out right now, you’ll be a joke if you panic.”

"Okay, please be good."

Ayu is really young, and most of the people below him are a round older than him, but Ayu just makes these people obedient one by one, and they do things very smoothly, what is the reason?It is this ability, look at this analytical ability, look at the degree of sharp eyes, you can pick out shreds of meat from the bones.

Yes, for Jin Yiwei, the more people they check, the more meat they have. Such a good boss is really hard to find in a thousand years, and they are following closely.

After arranging the next work, the next thing Ayu, who has already made some gains, is to quickly notify the emperor.More active reporting or something, for a subordinate, it will never suffer, this workplace experience, Ayu is definitely quite rich.Don't talk about how to make the emperor happy, at least let the emperor know what he and the others are busy with recently, and ask for some hard work, right?

But today he failed to meet the emperor smoothly, and was stopped by Zhang Cheng at the gate of the palace.For what?Hey, I'm still working at my job, the emperor was assassinated, Ayu, as Jin Yiwei, has to investigate the case quickly!

"Is there a body? Where are the weapons? Where are they?"

"On the west side, the people from the East Factory are watching. Ayu, our family knows about your case. Be careful and do your best. By the way, don't let those literati get ahead. Something happened to the Long Live Lord, they... "

Zhang Cheng's expression was quite subtle, and Ah Yu suddenly understood... After the death of Emperor Zhengde, Jiajing entered the palace... Hehe, this is a criminal record!No wonder.

The author has something to say: Where did Zheng He Haitu go?

Some say it was stolen, some say it was burned.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to burn it, because the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" clearly stipulates: Anyone who abandons and destroys the book making, the imperial decree of the horse and the imperial treasure, and the amulet of the boat for inspection, if the seals of the various yamen and the bronze medals of the night patrol, beheaded!If anyone destroys official documents, the stick will be one hundred!Based on the law alone, if Liu Daxia really did this, one can imagine what will happen to him.However, it happened that people later became officials, not to mention that they were not small. This is enough to prove that things must have gone wrong at that time.Since it wasn't Liu Daxia who burned the map, where did Zheng He Haitu go?

There is evidence that, even decades after Liu Daxia's death, Zheng He's charts can still be found through official channels and included in books.The evidence is as follows:

1. The military encyclopedia "Wu Bei Zhi" compiled by the Mao family in the Ming Dynasty after three generations of painstaking efforts, vividly presents the drawings of Zheng He's nautical charts, which is the key information for today's study of Zheng He's voyages.Mao Kun, the first generation editor, was the doctor of the Ministry of Military Vehicles during the Jiajing period, and Mao Guojin, the second generation editor, was also the head of the Ministry of Industry.In the words of Mao Yuanyi, the third-generation major, it was the collection and transcription of two generations of ancestors that accumulated such a wealth of information.

2. The existing "Ming History Manuscripts" in the Ancient Books Department of the Nanjing Library clearly records the scale, routes and technical equipment of Zheng He's fleet. When the history of Ming Dynasty was compiled.

Compared with the completed "History of Ming Dynasty", what is even more surprising to future generations is that the detailed technical information of Zheng He's fleet that existed in the "Drafts of Ming History" was almost deleted when the "History of Ming Dynasty" was completed during the Qianlong period. !

That is to say, it can be confirmed that when the Qing Dynasty was founded, Zheng He's charts were still there!Even if it is hard to find in the court, those officials know where to look for it!

But it is a pity that, except for these clues, the original Zheng He's chart, which witnessed the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of a generation of Chinese navigators, has really disappeared.All doubts about the disappearance of these original historical materials should focus on the post-Qing dynasty and have nothing to do with Liu Daxia.

According to the original words of Wei Qingyuan, a scholar of Ming history: The reason why there are not many archives in the Ming Dynasty is because of the wars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and because after the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (Ming History) was compiled (Ming History), according to the practice at that time, the archives and historical materials based on it were often used. discarded or even burned.

In a 2005 interview by Nanjing Daily with Pan Qun, an authoritative Ming history professor at Nanjing University, the old professor gave a shocking answer after summarizing various evidences: the one who destroyed Zheng He’s charts was most likely Sex is Emperor Qianlong.
