Chapter 107 Three Parts Military, Seven Parts Politics (Subscribe)
Afterwards.

As soon as she returned to the Imperial Study Room of Qianqing Palace, Hong Niangzi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, do you really want to give up sending troops to the south to conquer?"

"Of course not, but those old things have also reminded me that the problem in the south of the Yangtze River should not only be resorted to force, but should be divided into military affairs and politics."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand to make the others retreat, and then he spoke slowly.

"Three points in military affairs, seven points in politics?" Hong Niangzi looked at him with a puzzled face, obviously not quite understanding what he meant.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong also planned to teach her well. After all, a general who doesn't understand politics can only be a tactician forever, but cannot be a strategist who coordinates the overall situation.

And this kind of talking on paper is exactly what he is good at.

So he beckoned: "Come on, my concubine, sit here and let me talk to you carefully, what is three points of military affairs and seven points of politics."

The red lady blushed, but she had no choice but to walk over, was embraced by Zhu Cihong, and sat beside her.

"Aifei was very bold last night, why is she shy now?"

Zhu Cihong leaned close to her ear and smiled.

This girl was so fierce last night.

"The concubine was presumptuous last night, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The red lady bit her lips tightly, and buried her head firmly in his chest, her voice was like a mosquito.

Thinking of the madness of last night, his face became hot, and the roots of his ears were so red that he was about to bleed.

"Didn't I already punish you yesterday?"

But Zhu Cihong raised her head as if she didn't know she was shy, and made her look directly at him.

The red lady is a temperamental person, how could she bear his teasing, and whispered with blurred eyes: "Your majesty is young and promising, heroic and powerful, and you are the son of heaven. The concubine comes from a humble background, looks mediocre, and is married. Wife, how can you be worthy of His Majesty's love?" After speaking, tears rolled in his eyes.

"My beloved concubine, don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, my concubine is much more attractive than that Chen Yuanyuan."

Zhu Cihong said.

Indeed, in this era, I am afraid that only Zhu Cihong would regard the red lady as a treasure.

In his opinion, Hong Niangzi is a typical devil-like supermodel figure, with long legs, small waist, protruding front and back.

As the saying goes, rarity is the most precious. In this era, Xiaojiabiyu's ladies, gentle and dignified ladies and talented women abound. He wants to choose a show every year in the future, as many as he wants.

But it's not easy to find a figure like Hong Niangzi.

He had already experienced the fun of it last night.

As for why the emperor can't be suppressed, he doesn't care about it, and he doesn't pay attention to it.

"Your Majesty really thinks so?" Hong Niangzi was a little skeptical, but more surprised.

When the red lady saw his appearance, the stone in her heart finally fell.

Finally, he believed that the little emperor was not just trying to win over himself, but was really greedy for himself.

"Your Majesty, please clarify what is three-point military and seven-point politics?"

"Well, three parts are military and seven parts are politics. As the name suggests, politics is the main thing, military is the second, and force is used as a deterrent. Political means can be used to solve problems first.

For example, in the current Jiangnan, there must be discord among the people, and each has their own ghosts. If the army directly suppresses the situation, it may force them to form a group and fight to the death, adding some troubles and obstacles in vain.

And if you clarify the rumors first, you can take advantage of the righteousness, then use political means to divide and disintegrate them, let them give up resistance, and finally clean up one by one, it will be much easier.

So I plan to let the queen mother and concubine Ai go together, so that you only need to bring [-] soldiers and horses. When the time comes, the queen mother will be responsible for clarifying the rumors, winning people's hearts, and singing red faces, while you will raise the butcher's knife to raid the house and sing bad faces, ha ha! "

At the end of Zhu Cihong's speech, she also had a sinister smile on her face.

This is the strategy he came up with after some weighing.

After all, he can't go to Jiangnan in person for the time being. Even if Hong Niangzi goes to kill one party, he can't solve the problem fundamentally. Instead, he may fall into greater turmoil and give careerists an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So for the time being, as long as all parts of the south of the Yangtze River submit their submissions, the red lady can recruit troops and train in Nanjing while raising money and food, and transport them back to the north continuously.

After next year's autumn harvest, he can go directly to the south of the Yangtze River to carry out reforms after he has stabilized the situation in the north.

At that time, someone will definitely stand up and oppose the reform, and he will kill a lot of people, pull a group, and beat a group.

Of course there is the most important point.

That is, there is no need to put one hundred thousand elites into the same basket of Hong Niangzi, which reduces the risk.

As an emperor, this is actually the most important point.

"Let the queen mother go with me?"

The red lady nodded half-understanding, and then said in surprise.

"That's right, those civil servants are not honored enough, and I don't worry about it. At that time, I will announce that my mother and my concubine will go to Nanjing to worship the ancestral mausoleum on my behalf, and I will sue the Taizu. I didn't kill the king and my father. My throne is Inherited according to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, I am the King of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cihong felt that if something like this happened, the capital of Nanjing would always be a hidden danger, and he had to send someone of his own who could represent the royal family to sit in the town.

Even if they don't do anything, they just live in the imperial palace in Nanjing. Those guys who are full of benevolence and morality will never get around if they want to establish King Pan.

However, it is impossible for Chongzhen and his two younger brothers to go. The princess is still young, so she can only let Queen Zhou go. The right is to let her go to Jiangnan for vacation. Besides, whether Chongzhen is dead or not, she should be the most convincing.

A year later, he went to Nanjing in person. After the reform, he directly abolished the status of Nanjing's accompanying capital and split Nanzhili.

"And there is one place that needs to be solved more urgently than Jiangnan."

"But Xuanfu Datong?"

Hong Niangzi reacted immediately this time.

"That's right. Although the civil and military officials from the two places have already made apology, but I asked Jiang Yu and Wang Chengyin to come to Beijing to report on their duties, but both of them said they were sick and refused. They also blocked Juyongguan. It is obvious that they want to bargain. Let me make an order first. Forgive them!"

"Hmph, it's just wishful thinking. Originally, if they entered the capital honestly, I would spare their lives. If I don't confiscate their family and kill them now, what is my majesty?"

Zhu Cihong said that in the end, his whole body was full of murderous aura, and it was obvious that those people in Xuanfu Datong had been sentenced to death.

Although the red lady is ten years older than Zhu Cihong, she is still full of admiration at this moment, she leans on his chest, and whispers emotionally: "Then let the concubine go down and arrest those people for your majesty first, How about going to Jiangnan again?"

"Don't bother my concubine, the matter in the south of the Yangtze River can't be delayed any longer, this time I have to deal with them personally, otherwise it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, he must control the remaining [-] troops after Hong Niangzi left, and this time to fight Xuanfu is a good opportunity.

"But swords have no eyes on the battlefield. It's too dangerous for His Majesty to go in person. Why don't you let Liu Fangliang go?"

The red lady straightened up with a worried look on her face.

It was obvious that Zhu Cihong had captured his whole body and mind now.

"No, I'll go by myself, my concubine, don't worry, I can take care of those mobs in Xuanfu Datong with ease.

Concubine Ai didn't know that the eight Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou had fornicated slaves as early as the Tianqi period, and smuggled a large amount of weapons and food powder for them all the year round, and even sold all kinds of information about the frontier army. They deserved to die ! "

Zhu Cihong said that she also gritted her teeth in the end.

Compared with the gang in Jiangnan, the eight Shanxi merchants are even more hateful.

The reason why he wanted to send Queen Zhou and Hong Niangzi to go south together was that he wanted to save troops and clean up Xuanfu Datong.

One is that the two places are the barriers of the capital, and they must be resolved in order to completely improve the three-sided defense in the north, so that Jiannu and Tartars have no chance to take advantage of them.

Second, in the whole of the north, there is no drought and locust plagues in the two places this year, and the trespassers have not suffered damage when they cross the border, so the autumn harvests in the two places are quite bumper this year.

If he didn't want to wait for the wheat to be harvested and dried in the two places, he would have done it a long time ago. Where would he wait for a month?
"If this is the case, those Shanxi merchants should really copy their families and exterminate their families!"

After the red lady heard it, she also had a look of resentment, and said murderously, is there still the slightest bit of girlishness just now?
"It's not just Shanxi merchants. The civil and military officials of the entire Xuanfu Datong and the military officials of the guards are probably inseparable. Compared with the scattered sand in Jiangnan, these people have formed an interest group. This situation has to be compared with Jiangnan. Take the opposite measure, seven parts military, three parts politics to solve..."

Zhu Cihong also stopped, patiently explaining and analyzing to her.

It wasn't until Hong Niangzi understood thoroughly that the two of them moved to the side hall to have dinner.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "My concubine worked hard last night, and she got up early today, so I will go to the bedroom to have a good sleep and recharge my batteries. I will stay in the palace tonight, and I will discuss it with my mother. When it's over, I'll come find you."

"Chen and concubine follow the order!"

The red lady nodded and followed the maid down.

Even if Zhu Cihong asked her to die immediately, she probably wouldn't hesitate at all.

.........

In Kunning Palace, Queen Zhou almost dropped her jaw when she heard that her son was going to let her go to Nanjing.

"Lang'er, if you can let Jiangnan return without using swords, the queen mother is naturally willing to go, but the queen mother is worried that if you can't do it well, you will miss a big deal?"

"The queen mother doesn't need to be nervous. Isn't there a noble concubine? It's actually very simple. All the rough and dirty work is left to her to do. The queen mother only needs to be responsible for soothing people's hearts.

For example, when the imperial concubine arrests people and ransacks the house, those civil officials will definitely come to the mother first to intercede and file a complaint. At that time, the mother will recruit the imperial concubine, pretend to reprimand her, and then let the imperial concubine reduce some crimes.

In this way, the gentry and officials in the south of the Yangtze River will not go to extremes in despair, and will think that there is still a queen mother who can make decisions for them. "

Zhu Cilang said with a smile.

After hearing this, Empress Zhou also understood what she should do. Seeing his appearance, she couldn't help but glared at him reproachfully, and after thinking about it, she said, "Lao'er, why don't you let your auntie go, she's in the palace. Lin Zhong has always had a good reputation, especially her influence among the people in Jiangnan Donglin is not comparable to that of the empress mother. If you let her go, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and your uncle's thoughts and methods are far beyond the empress mother's reach. , she is the most suitable for this kind of thing."

"Well, that's true. Auntie does seem to be more suitable."

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his chin to think about it.

With Zhang Yan's reputation and status, when he arrives in Nanjing, the group of civil servants will probably immediately gather around and kneel and lick him. In terms of influence, his mother's queen is indeed inferior.

Moreover, since Chongzhen was placed on Xiyuan Island by him, Zhang Yan visited him every day.

Although the two haven't done anything out of the ordinary, if they continue, sooner or later gossip will spread, so assigning Zhang Yan to Nanjing would be the best.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong took a peek at Empress Zhou, and understood that she might also have a little selfishness.

But he naturally wants to stand on his mother's side.

Empress Zhou saw that her thoughts were seen through by her son, she was a little embarrassed and said: "It's just that the mother is worried about this matter, and your father may not agree to it..."

"Father doesn't need to worry about it, it mainly depends on what Auntie wants." Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

"Your aunt is the most generalist. If you explain the stakes and interests of this matter to her clearly, she will definitely agree."

"The child will go to her to discuss it..."
