Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 315 The Emperor Adjusted the Northern Forces and Two Trump Cards Marched into Shanxi
Now there are only a few things that upset Zhu Qiyu, and Wang Ji's attitude is one of them.

Human abilities are limited after all, and Zhu Qiyu can't figure out what Wang Ji will do.

In the most pessimistic situation, after Wang Ji defeats Yexian and welcomes Zhu Qizhen back, he directly uses the [-] troops in his hands to support Zhu Qizhen's restoration, and it is difficult to come to Fengtianjing, that would be fun.

Although this possibility is very, very low, and Wang Ji is unlikely to do such a stupid thing, but in order to be sure, he has to guard against it.

This kind of thing has happened more than once in history. There are always people who think that it is impossible for others to do such a stupid thing, but in reality, someone really does it for you.

It's like Guan Yu firmly believed that Sun Quan could not be stupid enough to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance and let Cao Wei take advantage of the fisherman.But the reality is so magical, Sun Quan did not hesitate to choose to cross the river in white clothes and stab his allies in the back.

Similarly, Zhu Qiyu also firmly believed that Wang Ji would not risk the disgrace of the world, and ran to rebel inexplicably by leaving a good minister of the Ministry of War inappropriately.

But you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

More than half of the [-] troops that the Marquis of Ningyang put down to pacify the civil uprising in the southeast were drawn from the elite northern frontier army.Zhu Qiyu returned [-] of the elite Ganliang frontier army to Shaanxi Xingdusi, led by Cao Guogong Li Xuan.

In addition, the [-] Baoding high-ranking officials who were transferred from the former Daning Capital Division were returned to the Fengtian Capital Division and incorporated into the Yingzhou Guard.

The three battalions and three guards of Zhu Qiyu's direct line, together with the elite frontier troops from Shaanxi and Gansu, are all concentrated in the capital and the important towns in the northwest, with a total of nearly 20.

It would be unreasonable for Wang Ji to forcibly support the restoration of Zhu Qizhen. It is neither human nor legal.

Zhu Qiyu occupies the rightful name, occupies the center of the court, and holds an army of 20, so he can easily control the situation.

However, if in Nanjing, Hu Wei, Wang Ao, Yu Qian, Chen Mao, and Zhu Yi raised troops at the same time and echoed Wang Jiyao, then there would be real trouble.

20 troops against 20 troops, the side fighting on two fronts will lose.

Although it looks like he is suffering from persecution paranoia, Zhu Qiyu still decides to take some restrictive measures to the south.

One is to reorganize [-] Beiwa troops in Shandong who obey the emperor's orders, and even simply form another navy.

Another one is to let Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong be the top leader of the Nanjing military, that is, Nanjing's garrison, and also lead the Chinese army's governor's office.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily.Not to mention the new recruitment of [-] troops in Shandong, as far as the three guards in the hands of the army are concerned, it is still a matter of whether they can afford to support them.

The one hundred thousand pro-army is a real gold-bearing monster, with two million taels of white money every year, it can barely support it.

If we vigorously update some weapons, armors, crossbows, and artillery, it will be a waste of money.It is really a cannon shot, golden ten thousand taels.

Wouldn't you have to learn Wanli in the end and send eunuchs to collect mining taxes everywhere?
The more Zhu Qiyu thought about it, the more he felt that he was not much better than Wanli.Wanli grabbed the wool of the whole country and pulled it hard, while he held down the sheep in Shanxi to knock the bones and suck the marrow.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Zhu Qiyu looked around, and now He Yi was the only one left on the third floor of his own, so he smiled helplessly and said: "Xingyi, call Yang Jie up later, you talk to him Well, I don't want to talk anymore."

He Yi nodded: "Then what should Yang Jie do?"

Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth and replied: "Dig out all the wealth in Shanxi. The Yang family has occupied Shanxi for decades, and Yang Jie knows the entire chain of smuggling from Shanxi to Wala.

Let Yang Jie go to Shanxi to earn money for me, and I will let Yang Jie's family survive and give him the title of Uncle Yingyang.

The Yang Jie family here refers only to Yang Jie's mother, wife, and children.

The family members of Yang Hong and Yang Jun do not need to continue to live. "

He Yi nodded, expressing his understanding, and sent someone to ask Yang Jie to go upstairs.

Yang Jie came early in the morning, already waiting for a long time with anxiety.

Now that it was so easy to see the emperor, he paid homage immediately, lying on the ground and not daring to raise his head.

"Get up and sit down."

With his back to Yang Jie, Zhu Qiyu looked at his Yuquan Mountain through the window.He only said one word to get Yang Jie to get up, and then he didn't speak again.

Yang Jie got up tremblingly.

The following specific matters will be arranged by He Yi.

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Qiyu never met Yang Jie face to face.

As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu felt that it was time for him to maintain a sense of mystery.

Originally, I am now a hermit in the mountains who work in the land, and if I don't maintain a sense of mystery, the government and the public will lose their awe.

Sending Yang Jie away, He Yi asked, "Your Majesty, is Yang Jie enough?"

"Basically, now Shanxi has Liu Zhongfu and Li Bing in Wen, Xu Heng and Tao Jin in Wu, [-] Shenji Battalion, [-] Xiaoqi Battalion, and [-] Jinyiwei that I have newly sent.

In addition, I also sent a powerful confidant to act secretly. "

He Yi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, no matter when, you have to secretly ambush him, making it impossible to defend against."

Zhu Qiyu heard the words, with a bewildered smile on his face, he asked in a daze: "Are the women I gave you still useful?"

He Yi was startled: "Ah? It's easy to use, but it's easy to use. Could it be that these women were also ambushed by His Majesty in advance?"

"That's not true, I'm not as bored yet. Those people were sent to you because they couldn't support them.

In the beginning, I wish I could spend more time. Fifteen women, I am too exhausted to serve them.

Didn't you see that I dare not go home now? "

Speaking of this, He Yi suddenly remembered: "Your Majesty, the Supervisor of Rituals has reported that the nobles who served the Supreme Emperor in Yibei before have been sent back to Beijing for a long time.

Recently, a few of them have clamored for a promotion.

After all, the Jin Yiwei who served beside the Supreme Emperor and the envoys who delivered the news all received rewards.

These nobles feel that they have also experienced the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and there is no credit but hard work.It really should go up a liter. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What they said is also reasonable. If you just use their bodies and deprive them of their dignity, but don't give them corresponding treatment, then they can't feed you medicine."

"Then promote to concubine?"

"Let's get promoted. Anyway, the Supreme Emperor already has so many concubines, it doesn't matter if there are more or less."

He Yi reminded: "Your Majesty, after being promoted to concubine, these people are eligible to live in the East and West Sixth Palaces. How should these palaces be allocated then?

These newly appointed people might be incompatible with the old concubine of the Supreme Emperor.

Moreover, two West Sixth Palaces were burned down, and one was inhabited by Empress Qian.Therefore, if the east six palaces and west six palaces can accommodate concubines, there are nine palaces left.

Does Your Majesty want the new and old concubines to live together, or readjust, so that the old concubines live in several palaces and the new concubines live in several palaces? "
