Chapter 376 The Emphasis of Sinicization
Shimadzu Iehisa himself couldn't figure it out, and said: "We may have made a mistake that was not careful enough. The Ming Kingdom today may be different from before!"
As soon as the Shimadzu family had finished their conversation, the jailers of Shuntian Mansion suddenly came and took them to Shuntian Mansion Prime Minister Li Zhen for trial, and ordered them to kneel down for trial.
Iehisa Shimadzu and Toyohisa Shimadzu were unwilling to kneel down.
After all, they are the nobles of the Satsuma clan of the Japanese country, and they still have strong self-esteem.
Snapped!
The servants of Shuntian Mansion had no choice but to hit Shimadzu Iehisa and Shimadzu Toyohisa on the knees, forcing them to kneel on the wet floor tiles.
Toyohisa Shimadzu looked at Li Zhen in the hall as if his eyes were spitting fire.
The Shimadzu family was more stable for a long time, and only asked first: "We are the tribute envoys who came to pay tribute, how can the Celestial Dynasty treat us so rudely?!"
Li Zhen glanced at Shen Siwen's corpse lying next to the Japanese who had been waiting for a long time at Shimadzu's house, and asked, "Don't you recognize this corpse lying next to you?"
The Shimadzu family replied for a long time: "I don't know."
"Since you don't know each other, why do you want to kill my heavenly people?"
Li Zhen asked.
The Shimadzu family thought for a long time and asked, "What evidence is there to prove that I killed him?"
"After inspection, the knife wound on his body matches the caliber of the Japanese knife you brought."
"There is more physical evidence such as Min Lai Erliang."
Snapped!
When Li Zhen said this, he slapped the gavel: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, so what are you still arguing about?!"
The Shimadzu family only replied, "We are tribute envoys!"
"The tribute envoy must abide by the law!"
Li Zhen replied.
The Shimadzu family said for a long time: "He humiliated me first!"
Li Zhen waved his hands and said, "Don't say any more, as long as barbarians kill people, no matter what the reason, it is against the law and etiquette."
As Li Zhen spoke, he clapped the case and said: "Because you have stabbed the people of the Shang Kingdom dozens of times successively, it belongs to the torture and killing of the following crimes, and the nature is extremely serious, so the heavy sentence is initially determined to be Ling Chi!"
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen waved his hands and said: "Keep them in prison and report to the Governor and the Ministry of Punishment!"
The officials of Shuntian Mansion and others bowed their hands and said yes.
"Not right!"
"That's not right!"
"Why are you doing this? You just killed an ordinary Han Chinese! It is said that before paying tribute, it is not that Han people have never been killed because of conflicts!"
The Shimadzu family struggled in puzzlement for a long time and asked loudly.
Li Zhen ignored it, just got up and left here.
But the Shimadzu family waited for a long time and was sent to the death row, drawing a knot.
"This Li Zhen has done a good job, and he should be dealt with in this way, which is in line with the new ritual of distinguishing Ming and barbarians that is to be established now."
After Zhu Yijun received the case from the Shuntian Mansion Newspaper, he praised Shen Shixing and other ministers in power in the Imperial Court, and said:
"When the Metropolitan Procuratorate passes the exam, don't forget to give this person a fair and fair evaluation of the criminal case!"
Zuodu Yushi Zhao Jin got up and said yes.
And Zhu Yijun went on to say: "As for the treatment of the Shimadzu family who waited for a long time, it will be dealt with according to his sentence. In addition, an order is issued to the governor of Dongying to send troops to question Shimadzu, and how he plans to explain this matter to the court!"
"Times have changed!"
"Since the Emperor Ming has opened up the territory of Dongying and has troops stationed in Dongying, there is no need to worry that such a treatment of foreign barbarians will cause them to retaliate against the dynasty. Instead, they should be questioned. After all, the dynasty can directly send troops to destroy him."
After Zhu Yijun said a few words with a smile, he got up and walked outside the hall, looking at Zhu Que's tower under the blue sky, without saying a word.
"Your Majesty!"
"Although respecting the Han and degrading the barbarians is a ritual that cannot be followed in order to strengthen the country and benefit the people, I am afraid that the barbarians will be dissatisfied when they know about it, and they will retaliate greatly, which will increase the border troubles, especially this time. I am afraid that other barbarians will have a cold feeling, and then disturb the border."
"Therefore, I believe that the imperial court must guard against it! Immediately issue an order to the border ministers to strictly guard against the Hulu invaders."
At this moment, Zhou Yong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stood up and reported.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun deliberately asked: "Do the Yi and Di tribes also have self-esteem?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, of course there are, but it's not too strong, and like many of my Han people, as long as it is beneficial, they may not betray their own ethnic group."
"In addition, there are distinctions in the Yidi ethnic group. The Yidi who are in the lower class naturally suffer from the oppression of the nobles in their clan, so many of them will flee to our Daming territory; the Yidi who are in the upper class are naturally not affected. This suffering, and before the new rituals are established, they will coerce their tribes to plunder our Han land, I am afraid that after the new rituals are not established, they will have even more reasons."
Zhou Yong replied at this time.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "What Zhou Qing said is very true, it is time for everyone to be strict and prepare."
At this time, Fang Fengshi stood up and said yes.
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. To make the people of the country more willing to go out, open up frontiers for the country, preach the culture of the Han family, and then strengthen the country and benefit the people, it is necessary to distinguish the Chinese from the barbarians in terms of etiquette and respect the Chinese; and It’s not for the sake of a moment’s peace, to flatter the outsiders will make people think you’re easy to bully. However, this will indeed give the foreign captives more reason to invade the border.”
Having said this, Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi and other ministers in power: "But since you and the others think that the new ceremony is not suitable for barbarians after the discussion, they naturally have countermeasures. Let's talk about the countermeasures. It is in line with what I think. Let's see if it fits. .”
Shen Shixing got up at this moment and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the Yi and Di tribes also have self-respect, but what they are more willing to pursue is the difference between high and low. This dynasty only needs to admit that there is a difference between high and low, or help them to be able to distinguish between high and low. I will never be an enemy of Huang Ming, and even respect Huang Ming."
"Thus, although the ministers admit that there may be individual ethnic groups in the Yidi who will invade our Celestial Dynasty because their chiefs care more about dignity; but the ministers believe that most of the Yidi chieftains, who are wiser, would not dare to fight against our Celestial Dynasty for the sake of so-called self-esteem. The enemy, and if our Celestial Dynasty guides them with benefits, maybe they will become our lackeys instead!"
After Shen Shixing said, he said again: "So, the minister has asked the cabinet policy department to formulate corresponding policies for the barbarians according to the different situations of the surrounding barbarians, foreign vassals, and native officials, as well as the different opinions discussed by the Privy Council and the six ministries. The general strategy is ready to be prepared and presented to His Majesty for review."
After hearing this, Zhou Yong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, looked at Shen Shixing with admiration.
"Your Majesty, as Yuan Fu said, be on the defensive, but don't worry that Yidi will really offend the Celestial Empire because his people are not respected by the Celestial Empire!"
"As far as I know, foreign vassals with a high degree of kingship, such as North Korea, will even take the initiative to admit that the people of this dynasty are more valuable than them!"
"I was in Busan, and I learned from the Xuanfu Department that some North Korean officials took the initiative to ask our Celestial Dynasty to belittle their common people, and they couldn't bear us to treat their common people too benevolently, but in fact, we only treated them as big households and long-term workers. It’s just the common people of North Korea who hired the Propaganda Department!”
And Qi Jiguang echoed Shen Shixing after he said it.
Zhou Yong, who had only been in contact with Mongolian and Jurchen with a low degree of Sinicization when he was the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Jiliao, was even more shocked after hearing what Qi Jiguang said. Hate your own people so much?
Zhu Yijun was willing to believe it, so he said with a smile: "This is the benefit of letting the etiquette go out! If you want Yidi to know their dignity and order, they must be transformed into their clan by the king!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
