    ? According to regulations, marriages should be suspended in draft regions.  During the six months to a year of the emperor's beauty pageant, girls were not allowed to marry, and boys were not allowed to marry a daughter-in-law. They all had to wait for the emperor to choose them first. As long as they were not married, they might be picked away.  The draft in the eighth year of Wanli seriously harassed the normal life of the people in Beizhi, Hebei, and Shandong.

    If you do this kind of thing once, everyone can hold your nose and bear it. But it was done last year, and it happened again this year. It's really unbearable. Although I don't know the attitude of the officials in the capital, but  The speech officials in Nanjing are already gearing up, ready to offend Long Yan.

    ? According to the latest news obtained by the newspaper, Ma Yundeng, the censor of Zhejiang Province in Nanjing, and Niu Weibing, the chief minister of Nanjing Rike, have written to remonstrate.  The gentry in the opposition were even more unceremonious, writing articles in newspapers one after another, silently followed the prompts, turned to the chapter of "Famous Scholars on Politics", and saw three articles criticizing Emperor Wanli at a young age, following in the footsteps of his father, day and night.  Debauchery, indulging in wine pools and meat forests, disregarding the emperor's morality and government affairs.  Although they were all signed by pseudonyms, but I was used to the silence of the memorials and remonstrances, and I could tell at a glance that those who wrote these articles were all former court officials, or even current officials.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    For ordinary people in the southeast, this piece of news with a sensual atmosphere may attract their attention more, but in Shen Mo's view, it is really insignificant compared to the other two.

    The second emperor's news is that Wanli ordered the construction of the Liaodong side wall.

    The so-called side wall is the Great Wall.  At the beginning of the country, Emperor Taizu ordered Xu Da to repair the Juyongguan Great Wall to defend Beijing.  However, before the civil fort change, the Chinese were confident that they could defeat the Mongolian cavalry in field battles, and it was considered unnecessary to build side walls on a large scale.  But the transformation of the civil castle became a turning point.  After that, it was considered dangerous and unwise to attack Mongolia directly, which led to the transition of the national border defense policy from offense to defense, and the construction of the Great Wall became a national policy.  A hundred years later, a line stretching from the Yalu River in Liaodong in the east to Jiayuguan in Gansu in the west, traversed the northern frontier of the empire, with a total length of 12,600 miles. The side wall known as the Great Wall appeared.

    But the simple side wall cannot stop the invading cavalry. For a long time, the Mongols invaded hundreds of times every year.  The Chaobai River goes straight to Tongzhou.  Although the Great Wall has been repaired, it has not had the desired effect.

    Until the fourth year of Longqing, when Qi Jiguang served as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, he personally patrolled the fortress. After careful inspection, he believed that these side walls were not only low and thin, but also more decadent, so they could not stop the enemy's attack at all.  Moreover, although there are some small brick and stone platforms on the side wall, these small platforms have no connection with each other. They can neither hide soldiers nor store weapons and equipment.  Difficult to stick to, not conducive to fighting.  So he went up and said: "The side wall of Ji Town extends for two thousand miles, and if one flaw is flawed, all the strength will be flawed."  Compared with repairing Suidan next year, it is useless and useless.  Please cross the wall as a platform and look down on the world.  The height of the platform is five feet, and there are three floors in the void. There are hundreds of people living on the platform, equipped with armor, food and fodder.  Order the garrison soldiers to accept work on the painting land, and build one thousand and two hundred seats first.  '

    This was fully supported by the university scholar Gao Gong, so since the fifth year of Longqing, the arduous project of wall repair and platform construction began. Qi Jiguang personally supervised the work and had extremely strict requirements on the quality of the project.  He divided the city walls into first, second, and third grades. The city wall covered with bricks on both sides is the first-class side wall, the city wall covered with bricks on one side is the second-class side wall, and the stone city is the third-class side wall.  Phenomenon.  While strengthening the city wall, they also built enemy towers like bunkers. In the end, it took three years to rebuild the Great Wall line from Shanhaiguan to Changping, building 1,007 enemy towers, and making the capital's defense line as solid as gold.

    Although Li Chengliang was far more popular than Qi Jiguang during the Wanli period, Tuman and Duoyan would rather face Li Chengliang's butcher's knife than Qi Jiguang's.  Because although the tiger is fierce, it will always take a nap, and there will always be occasional gains, but the copper wall and iron wall have no cracks, and they can only touch their heads and bleed, and they will never get anything good.

    And civil servants' evaluation of Qi Jiguang is also much higher than that of Li Chengliang, on the one hand because Qi is a Confucian general, and his conduct is much better than Li.  More importantly, compared with the sturdy and unruly Liaodong cavalry, Qi Jiguang's way of building bastards made them feel much less threatening to them.

    Therefore, the proposal of ordering Jiubian to follow Qi Jiguang's example, and everyone to cultivate the bastard together has never stopped, but Shen Mo has reservations about it, and the successful experience of Jizhen has not been promoted to other places.  He has his own ideas, because history has long proved that the Great Wall built by Guochao with huge manpower and material resources did not achieve the expected ideal results.  Just from a military point of view, the Ming army needed to guard a border line that was more than ten thousand miles long.??I can't justify it.

    The third piece of news is that next spring, Emperor Wanli will visit the Tianshou Mountain Mausoleum to worship in person.  According to the ritual system of this dynasty, every spring and autumn, the heir of the heir would go to Tianshou Mountain to visit the Mausoleum and hold sacrifices. This is a common thing, but in the edict issued at the end of last month, Zhu Yijun proposed that  While paying homage to Tianshou Mountain to perform sacrifices, the foundation of the Shou Palace was selected.  On the 14th of this month, he issued another imperial edict to the Ministry of Rites, instructing them to make various preparations as soon as possible Of course, the sacrifices are all routine, just follow the gourd, and the emperor is concerned about his own birthday.  site.

    The Ministry of Rites did not dare to be negligent, and played an inscription on the next day, reporting on the preparations for half a month.  Lian Shichang, an alchemist in geography, and others went to Tianshou Mountain to inspect in advance, and selected three places for reference, namely, Tanyuling to the east of Yongling, Xiangziling to the north of Yongling, and Lecaowa to the south of Dongjing.

    For the sake of prudence, Wanli decided to send Xu Wenbi, Duke of Dingguo, Zhu Dashou, a scholar, and Zhang Hong, the eunuch, to go ahead to choose each other. Among the ministers, ministers, and ministers, these three have the highest rank and seniority.  of.  At the same time, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to recommend some officials who were proficient in geography to go with them, so Liang Ziqi, the envoy of the General Administration, and Hu Youyi, the censor of Qiandu, who were familiar with geography, also joined the ranks of choosing the foundation of the Shou Palace.

    This year, Emperor Wanli was less than twenty years old. The world was deeply puzzled that this young emperor paid so much attention to the construction of his mausoleum in his prime.  At that time, there was Deng Bian, the censor, who felt that the people were suffering from heavy labor and severe drought at that time. He suggested that the construction should be postponed. His memorial chapter was published in the newspaper, saying: "Shimiao only had this discussion seventeen years after he ascended the throne, and he returned late.  For several years, Gai Shenzhi also.  The emperor flourished in spring and autumn, and the power of the people must be used at the right time. The poem said: "Since my crops are the same, I will go to the top to perform the public service, and I will help my own."  ¡¯ For such Confucian preaching, Wanli adopted the method of staying in China and not reporting it, but people in the newspaper industry penetrated every corner, and even got a copy of the memorial and published it.

    Regarding the emperor's mind, silence is clearer. How else can you say that the person who understands you best in this world is often your deadly enemy?  Through years of getting along with the emperor, he found that Wanli had a more thorough view of human life and death at a young age, or he was more negative in this regard.  He guessed that the emperor was influenced by his father and ancestor Emperor Jiajing fasted and sacrificed every day, and prayed for longevity at night, but in the end he couldn't escape death.  Emperor Longqing died young, only six years after ascending the throne.  Therefore, Wanli often sighs that life is too short before he can reach the weak crown.  That's why the emperor devoted his daily energy to pursuing pleasure in life and building a life after death.

    There is another layer, that is, Emperor Jiajing, who feared death infinitely, built a Yongling Mausoleum for himself, second only to the Changling Mausoleum in scale, and the most fine and magnificent structure of the Yongling Mausoleum.  However, Emperor Longqing did not have a mausoleum during his lifetime, so he hurriedly built a burial after his death. Not only were the regulations too small, but the address was not selected properly.  Only when the emperor can be the master, he can't wait to build his own auspicious land.

    However, this is not the construction of graves by ordinary people. The vastness of the project and the huge expenditure are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.  Emperor Jiajing's Yongling Mausoleum has been built for more than ten years, costing tens of millions of dollars, not to mention emptying the treasury, and paying taxes to more than ten years later.  The accusation of "Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean" is mostly caused by the construction of the Yongling Mausoleum.

    Even the so-called sloppy Zhaoling cost a huge four million taels, but judging from Wanli's character and such an urgent performance, he would definitely not make do with it like his father, but to match Naizu¡ª¡ª
