"Daming Dynasty 1566" is a very classic historical drama, which has long occupied the top position of domestic dramas and has been loved by many audiences. The author also likes this drama, so I would like to share with you the author's understanding of this drama with my own words, and I hope that you can like it.
Today, I would like to share with you "Daming Dynasty 1566": The reason why Hu Zongxian borrowed grain in Jiangsu was successful was the result of the mediation of the four forces.
The cause of this incident was like this, because the imperial court's national policy of changing rice to mulberry was hindered in the process of implementing it in Zhejiang, and Yan Shifan, who was in charge of this matter, in a hurry, let people blow up the river embankment, directly flooded the fields of the common people, and then changed to mulberry fields. Later, because of Hu Zongxian's timely intervention, the flood that was originally going to flood nine counties was later flooded only in Chun'an and Jiande counties.
As a result, there were hundreds of thousands of more disaster-stricken people, who lacked food and housing, and the grain prepared by the imperial court for disaster relief was not enough, so these people naturally lived in deep trouble. At this time, the silk households in Zhejiang, headed by Shen Yishi, were preparing to take advantage of the disaster situation to buy the fields of the common people at a low price, and the ordinary people were forced to go to the end of the road step by step.
As a veteran who has been in the official field for many years, Hu Zongxian naturally understands that once the people's fields are bought at a low price, then the people who have no land to plant are bound to cause civil unrest, and when the time comes, the Wukou will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and the entire Ming Dynasty is bound to fall into a situation of internal and external troubles. As a local official, Hu Zongxian must stop all this. The most urgent task is to raise food, get through the current difficulties, and then think about the long term.
But where can we raise food? Hu Zongxian first thought of Jiangsu, and one of the reasons why he thought of Jiangsu was because Jiangsu was rich in economy and rich in products, and he had the ability to raise grain. The second reason is because Ying Tian's inspector Zhao Zhenji has been his good friend for many years, and it is certainly better to talk to him to borrow grain.
But who knows, Hu Zongxian hit a wall as soon as he came up, and Zhao Zhenji repeatedly shirked that he was unwilling to lend grain to Hu Zongxian. As for why he was reluctant to lend it to Hu Zongxian, this had to mention the political situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty, from the central to the local level, was roughly divided into four factions around the matter of changing rice to mulberry, one faction was the Jiajing Emperor who wanted to fill the financial deficit by changing rice to mulberry, the other faction was Yan Song's henchmen who wanted to enrich themselves by changing rice to mulberry, and the other faction wanted to grasp the handle of the Yan Party by changing rice to mulberry, and then overthrow their Yu Wang and others, and the other faction was Hu Zongxian and others who wanted to relieve the people's worries.
These people had their own goals in mind, and then mobilized their own manpower, affecting the progress of changing rice to mulberry, and naturally affecting whether Hu Zongxian could borrow grain.
Why can't Hu Zongxian borrow grain?
After saying this, as Hu Zongxian's long-time friend, he could transfer so much grain in his hand, why was Zhao Zhenji unwilling to lend it out? In fact, the reason is very simple, some people do not want him to borrow. Who is behind this? To make a generous member obedient, in fact, the answer is about to come out, it is Xiao Ge's old Yan Shifan and his teacher Xu Jie. These two people represented Yan Dang and QingLiu respectively, they did not allow borrowing, and Zhao Zhenji, who still wanted to advance in the official field, naturally did not dare to lend out.
So why are these two factions reluctant to let them borrow grain? The reason is very simple, they all hope that Zhejiang can be chaotic, because once Zhejiang is in chaos, the national policy of changing rice to mulberry can be implemented, and the Yan Party can take advantage of the opportunity to make a big profit. And Qingliu can also take this opportunity to seize the handle of the Yan Party and overthrow them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, they all hope that there will be chaos in Zhejiang, and the premise of chaos is to cut off the grain of the people, so naturally they do not want Zhao Zhenji to provide grain for Zhejiang, and Hu Zongxian naturally cannot borrow grain.
Why did Hu Zongxian borrow grain?
So in the end, despite all the twists and turns, Hu Zongxian still borrowed grain. So how did he do it? In my opinion, there are two reasons:
First, Hu Zongxian's personal efforts
Hu Zongxian first took the opportunity of his illness, hoping that with the addition of his many years of friendship with Zhao Zhenji, he would be able to let him borrow food, but Zhao Zhenji was not moved. He had no choice but to make a change and confide in Zhao Zhenji that if the people of Zhejiang were in chaos, The Wukou would definitely launch an attack, so that Daming would be in chaos, and then let Zhao Zhenji transfer military grain to Zhejiang as the governor of Zhejiang. As a result, Zhao Zhenji had to borrow this grain, and Hu Zongxian temporarily borrowed grain under the guise of food for the anti-Wu army.
But does Zhao Zhenji really not understand the reasoning for this? In my opinion, not necessarily. Therefore, it is not excluded that he is only a strategy to slow down the army, so if you want him to borrow food, you also need a cardiotonic agent.
Second, the compromise of the upper echelons
Soon this cardiotonic agent came. The Jiajing Emperor took the word "Zhen" as the theme and asked Yan Song and Xu Jie to write a three-hundred-word green word each. Why did the Jiajing Emperor only emphasize this "zhen", what kind of mystery was hidden, and the final answer was solved by Yan Song, who knew the mind of the Jiajing Emperor very well.
Hu Zongxian and Zhao Zhenji were students of Yan Song and Xu Jie respectively, Hu Zongxian also wrote "Ruzhen", both of them had a "Zhen" in their names, plus the Jiajing Emperor had expressed his understanding of Hu Zongxian in person, his meaning was naturally self-evident. It is nothing more than to let Yan Song and Xu Jie use their students to help Hu Zongxian through the difficult situation together.
Knowing the emperor's intentions, Yan Song and Xu Jie immediately reached a compromise, and Xu Jie informed his student Zhao Zhenji to immediately lend grain to Hu Zongxian. This is equivalent to a cardiotonic agent, so that Zhao Zhenji finally made up his mind to borrow grain.
Therefore, the reason why Hu Zongxian was able to borrow grain was that in addition to his own maneuvering, there was also the help of the Jiajing Emperor and the mutual compromise between Yan Song and Xu Jie. Otherwise, how could he easily borrow grain?
In general, behind Hu Zongxian's borrowing of grain, in fact, the reaction is still the confrontation of various forces. At this time, Chun'an County is brewing another big drama, and the next issue will be revealed to everyone!
