Daming heir

The first half of Hongwu's 28 years was long and frightening.

But in the second half, it makes people feel that it is extremely fast.

Just arrived in July, Taisun Mansion was tense.

But in this tense atmosphere, there is a hidden joy that is suppressed and just waiting for the final result.

The grandson concubine and the grandson side concubine are both about to give birth.

Near the Jiuqu Qingxi, there are some young people who are wandering around all day long.

The fourth generation of the Ming dynasty is about to be born, and there is no reason to be nervous in the court and in the palace.

In the court, the New Deal seems to have entered a better state.

The emperor's tough attitude in the New Deal, starting with the approval of hundreds of Beijing officials, let the people of the world understand that the emperor's will cannot be changed.

The local gentry and famous people, and even those innumerable local officials who have not expressed their views.In the face of the officers and soldiers of the guard who have become thirsty for battle and merit because of their return to the Qin and French Army, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they dare not express it in the slightest, lest their heads become the king. First-class military exploits on the road.

At the beginning of the New Deal, after a fierce collision between imperial power and official power, it unexpectedly entered a relatively relaxed situation.

In Wenyuan Pavilion.

Another day of cabinet meetings.

Chief Assistant Ren Hengtai was sitting on a cool chair with a teacup, and beside him was Second Assistant Xie Jin who was flipping through several memorials.

As for the young Gao Yangzhi, and Xu Yungong, who represented the Ming army alone for the time being, sat around the desk among them, and sat on the cool chairs bought for the midsummer.

"At Taisun's Mansion, not only should Yingtian Mansion and Shangyuan County send people to keep an eye on it, but also ask Bing Ma Si Rang to set up a few more shops."

Ren Hengtai took a sip of the herbal tea he got up early, and looked at Xu Yungong on the left.

Xu Yungong nodded and said: "Bingmasi has added five new shops around the Taisun Mansion in the past few days. There are people waiting inside at any time, and as long as there is a little movement outside, they can block all places.

Jin Yiwei has also added manpower around.Ma Hongqing, the thousand-household official who was transferred from the Ma Junying of the Beijing Army to the Shangzhi Qin Military Guard, is now also stationed in Taisun's Mansion with his relatives. "

Xie Jin put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head and looked forward with anticipation: "Ah, may God bless me, and I will be safe from generation to generation."

Ren Hengtai is more honest: "These grandsons have been too advanced these years, and no one knows whether there are people who harbor resentment and wait for the opportunity. The reproduction of the clan's children is a matter of the community. As a cabinet, I have a heavy responsibility. These days, the Duke needs to be more concerned and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Xu Yungong nodded, which is what it should be.

Gao Yangzhi thought about it for a long time, and when he saw that several people had opened their mouths, he whispered: "Whether you want to be at the gate of Yingtian City, start to check all the people who should enter the capital, and if you are deceived, you can find out as soon as possible. "

Xu Yungong looked at the youngest member of the cabinet: "Xiao Gaoge, the gates of Yingtian City have already received the military order from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

Gao Yangzhi opened his mouth, then cupped his hands towards Xu Yungong.

What the Metropolitan Government thinks, it seems that there is no need to go to the cabinet at all, which is undoubtedly another brilliant performance of the military in the cabinet.

Ren Hengtai took a look at Xu Yungong, and then said: "The concrete road leading to Huai'an Mansion and Fengyang Mansion from Yingtian is something His Highness told you, and the official document to expropriate the people along the road has been issued. The imperial court still needs to urge the Ministry of Households to allocate grain, grass, Materials for road construction; the Ministry of Industry should also send skilled craftsmen to assign work; the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion should also order the local guards to make preparations to protect the road and beware of damage by bad guys.”

Gao Yangzhi, who was slow to beat just now, was about to open his fists and speak.

Xie Jin, who was opposite him, had already raised his hand, stopped Gao Yangzhi's words, turned his head and looked at Ren Hengtai with a smile: "Let me go to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

The construction of new cement roads was originally proposed by me. Now that the Yinghuai and Yingfeng cement roads are about to start construction, I will do some of these things well. "

Ren Hengtai nodded, this was originally Xie Jin's business, and now Yingtian's concrete road leading to Hangzhou Mansion has come to an end.There is a concrete road connecting Taiping Mansion to Yingtian City, and these concrete roads are a great contribution.

He hasn't reached the point where he needs to claim credit.

Xu Yungong spoke directly: "Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, Chuzhou Mansion, and Yangzhou Mansion along the way have all written documents from the Governor's Mansion. Labor disputes, road construction and land occupation, money and food support, these things are all handled by the various ministries and departments of the imperial court. The local government. But if there are villains and thieves who make trouble and intend to destroy the road, it will be the military merits of the soldiers under the command of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion!"

Now the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has been re-established, just like in the early days of the country, commanding the five armies of the Governor's Mansion and controlling the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty.

Ren Hengtai frowned slightly, and said: "The Ministry of War needs to be urged. The recruitment of soldiers into the army is a long-term matter, and there is no rush. The rewards for meritorious soldiers on the front line and the pensions for casualties are as long as they are paid. The official document sent by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is enough for verification. Now it's time to urge the Ministry of War and those who supervise the military discipline of the guards to arrange it as soon as possible."

As soon as Shoufu's words came out, the Wenyuan Pavilion suddenly became quiet.

With the re-establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wei Guogong, Liang Guogong, and Xipinghou became the bachelors of Wuyingdian and entered Wenyuan Pavilion. The authority of the Ministry of War was exploited layer by layer.

In the past, the Ministry of War was in charge of the selection and examination of military guards and native officials, as well as military administration such as military system, training, recruitment, garrison, frontier defense, honor guard, imperial guard, post pass, stable animal husbandry, ordnance, talisman survey, military registration, and martial arts. His hall officials often oversee the army's expedition, and the headquarters is responsible for rewarding and punishing the advancing and retreating generals.

Up to now, there are only a few powers and responsibilities left.

It is only used as a supplement to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and related affairs that do not involve the Ming army's conquest and drill.

As for the armed forces belonging to the Ministry of War or the imperial court, there are only government servants, local city gates for defense, and postmen on official road stations.

It's just that although the functions of the Ministry of War have been deprived of many functions, the crucial military merit review and the power to supervise military discipline are still left in the end.

This is a power struggle between the civil service and the military, which is almost a common occurrence in the cabinet these days.

Following Ren Hengtai's opening, Xie Jin leaned back holding a memorial in his hand.Gao Yangzhi turned his head, the scenery outside Wenyuan Pavilion is very good today.

Although there is nothing outside.

Xu Yungong tightened his eyebrows and pondered for a long time.

Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the vassals and towns have been separated, and they have been conquered every year, and the Central Plains have been in chaos.With the establishment of the former Song Dynasty, with the emperor's cup of imperial wine, the generals who founded the country were dismissed and returned to the fields, and the warriors became objects that civil officials could order at will.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for 28 years, fortunately the emperor of the Zhu family is not as indifferent as the emperor of the Zhao family.In recent years, people in the court came and went, and many people from Daming Huaiyou were punished for their crimes.

But after all, the emperor never really treated the warriors badly.

However, the constraints and oppression in the court are real.

Now the Ming Dynasty has started a foreign conquest a few years ago, expanding its territory.And it has been proved that there is no militarism in the country, and war can also bring huge profits to the country.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Southern Expedition Army and the Suppressing Wo Army that the return of the Qin Fa Army's meritorious service has evidence and confidence.

Now that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion wants to take back power from the Ministry of War, there must be a lot of friction in the middle.

Xu Yungong nodded slightly and narrowed his eyelids: "In the 26th year of Hongwu, Your Majesty established the Imperial Guards as the capital of the world. There are seven out of ten capitals in total, one left-behind division, 320 internal and external guards, and 65 guards of thousands of households. Jiaozhi Road and Zhancheng Road were added. , Ten guards. For all the above, if we take the internal and external guards and guarding thousands of households as an example, the Ministry of War still needs more than [-] military discipline officials to go down.

The Metropolitan Governor's Office will of course fully cooperate, strictly enforce military discipline, and weed out the black sheep in the army.But His Majesty also gave oral instructions that the soldiers are used for conquests and battles, and they must be commanded by generals who understand the army formation.

Officials of the military discipline under the Ministry of War should know their own responsibilities, and don't do the drawing of the army formation. "

This is a statement and a warning.

Ren Hengtai did not refute.

In fact, the former Song civil servants took the military formation drawings and asked the front-line generals to fight according to the formation drawings. In his own opinion, it was an extremely stupid thing.

The former Song Dynasty has guarded against warriors so far, so it should be forgotten.

Ren Hengtai just replied to Wei Guogong calmly: "Military Minister Ru Yu is a person who understands things."

"what!"

Suddenly, Xie Jin, who was lying on the reclining chair and flipping through the memorial, let out a doubt, and immediately sat up from the reclining chair.

Gao Yangzhi immediately raised his head to look at his mentor: "But what happened?"

Ren Hengtai and Xu Yungong also looked sideways at Xie Jin, who had a strange expression.

Xie Jin put the memorial on the table, and looked at several people: "Mr. Cao Guo posted the memorial before, and the gold and silver will be shipped in the second quarter of this year. It is expected to be 5000 taels of gold and 80 taels of silver."

Ren Hengtai was a little puzzled: "I have read Cao Guogong's memorial, but is it in short supply now?"

Xie Jin shook his head.

Xu Yungong was directly in front of Gao Yangzhi and grabbed the memorial.

After a while, Xu Yungong frowned and said: "Li Jiujiang said that there has been a sea disaster along the coast of the country of Wa recently, fearing that the gold and silver ships transported by the imperial court will be attacked, so he asked the court to mobilize the navy to swim between Shandong Road and the country of Wa. "

Ren Hengtai immediately frowned and said, "Where are there any sea troubles in the sea now! Where are there still Japanese pirates! What's the matter with him, Li Jiujiang?"

At this moment, Ren Hengtai had already thought of various possibilities in his mind.

Li Jiujiang wants to embezzle gold and silver for himself!
Or, something happened to the Suppressing Wo army, which may affect this year's output, and the Suppressing Wo army is preparing to use the sea trouble as an excuse to avoid the court's accountability.

The output of the suppressing Japanese army now occupies a large weight in the court.

This income cannot be lost by the imperial court.

Thinking that the output of the suppressing Japanese army might be affected, coupled with the various innovations of the imperial court and the various major projects in the local area, Ren Hengtai's scalp could not help but tingle.

The imperial court's finances must not be improved after a few years, and then they have to tighten their belts to live and continue the old days of looking for money everywhere.

"It's weird!"

Xie Jin couldn't figure it out, and only after a while did he let out a sound.

Everyone now knows that nine out of ten Japanese pirates were fake.Since the Japanese army was stationed in the country, it was sent again.

Those Japanese who were so poor that they needed to go to sea to become Japanese pirates had already been lured into Shanxi Road to dig coal by Tie Xuan, the head of the Wenhua Palace and the head of the Ministry of War.

As soon as the real Japanese pirates disappeared, the fake Japanese pirates along the southeast coast also disappeared immediately.But Jin Yiwei has never let down. Over the years, with the cooperation of the Zhongshan Palace and other people, they have successively found out many Ming people who have engaged in Japanese pirate activities in the past.

As for why the Zhongshan Palace and others cooperated with Jin Yiwei to arrest people.

It's all because the shipping outside the Ming government is now in the hands of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion and other families.

Interest dictates.

Xu Yungong sighed softly, his face a little embarrassed.

The Suppressing Wo army is also under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Li Jiujiang is also a son of a meritorious general.

If something really happened, his situation in the cabinet would be very sad.

"The Taisun has already revealed his intention to manage the Japanese country in an all-round way. The original plan of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is to wait for the gold and silver to enter the warehouse in the second quarter, then mobilize troops and horses to reinforce the Japanese army. If..."

Xu Yungong felt that it was very difficult to deal with, and wished that Li Jiujiang would sneak back now, so that he could ask the situation clearly.

Yet at this time.

Outside Wenyuan Pavilion, there was a sound of footsteps.

in a hurry.

During this period, there was a faint sound of armor.

Everyone was already full of distracting thoughts, but when they heard that someone outside Wenyuan Pavilion was so unruly, they couldn't help but look sideways.

Soon.

An officer and soldier with red feathers on his back and wrapped in hemp rope hurried to the inner and outer doors of Wenyuan Pavilion.

puff.

The officers and soldiers landed heavily on one knee, with their armor skirts under their knees, hitting the ground with a muffled and piercing sound.

The officers and soldiers already clasped their fists with both hands, lowered their heads and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The Suppressing Wo Army urgently reports! This year, the Suppressing Wo Army will release the deposit of 3000 taels and 80 taels of silver in the second quarter. No trace, no whereabouts. The suppressing Japanese army searched with fast boats, but there was still no trace, only that it may have been done by the Japanese. Report to the imperial court and ask how the Japanese army should be suppressed?"

In Wenyuan Pavilion, the expressions of Ren Hengtai and the others changed drastically, and they were all shocked.

Just turning around, I don't know who let out a chuckle.

The originally tense shoulders of several people also relaxed.

Xie Jin asked softly: "Do you know how many ships in the fleet and how to configure them?"

The officer and soldier answered: "Three treasure ships, five Fu ships, twenty Lou ships, Mengchong ships, fighting ships, and seat ships."

Xie Jin stopped talking, just suppressed a smile.

Gao Yangzhi blinked and wanted to ask, but he quickly realized it.

Xu Yungong on the side sneered, then leaned back on the cool chair, looking at the chief assistant Ren Hengtai indifferently.

Ren Hengtai was very troubled.

Cao Guogong actually walked in front of the court!
This made Mr. Shoufu very helpless and sad.

Ren Hengtai raised his head, looked at the three of them, and smiled wryly: "Mr. Cao is loyal to the country, or is he disrespecting the emperor's order?"

Xu Yungong coughed lightly, but just didn't speak.

The young Xiao Gaoge looked left and right, and finally saw the master give him a look, and then he said: "Predict the enemy first, and understand the meaning. The country acts benevolently and righteously, and the soldiers follow the kingly way. Is the cabinet Should I give Mr. Li a compliment?"

"He, Li Jiujiang, didn't inform the court beforehand, so he played such a trick, and still wants the court to reward him?"

Ren Hengtai exclaimed, his face full of displeasure.

After cursing for a while, he sighed again, and waved to the officers and soldiers who had reported urgently.

Wait until the officers and soldiers leave.

Ren Hengtai leaned back on the cool chair and closed his eyes slightly: "Let's ask the Ministry of Rites to draft the text. Daming doesn't do bullying by the strong, but he can't tolerate hungry wolves pecking at him."
