Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 493 Storing food, deploying troops to prepare for war in Guangxi, punishing corrupt officials and rectifying storage
Zhu Qiyu, He Yi and others chatted about reform ideas again, and then they were ready to go home.

He Yi hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, there is still something to finish."

"Is there anything else, let's talk."

Zhu Qiyu reluctantly sat back.

He Yi asked: "You are rich, please tell me how to deal with the taxes and grains of Fujian and Hangzhou this year?"

"What is how to deal with it? Does he not want to turn it in? Didn't I talk about it when I interviewed him?"

He Yi shook his head helplessly: "He wrote vaguely in the memorial, and I don't know what he meant."

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, this young man is really good at playing. He wants to keep half of the tax and food payable to the household department for his own use, and transport the other half to Guangxi for storage.

He was afraid of offending those in the Nanjing household department, so he hesitated and refused to speak directly.

Let's do it according to his idea. This year, [-]% of the taxes and grains of Fujian and Zhejiang will be kept in the local area and used to prepare the Japanese army.Sixty percent of the tax and food was shipped to Guangxi and hoarded to prepare for the pacification of Annan. "

He Yi asked again: "Do you need to start dispatching troops to Guangxi and Guangdong now?"

"Come on, it's time to mobilize the army. Cheng Zhen ran back to Annan and reported the news to the Empress Dowager Xuanci, and then Annan Kingdom will start preparing for war.

To fight a war is to despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically.

Stop barking at each other until the war is over.From now on, regard Annan Kingdom as a complete military power and pay attention to it.

He ordered Chengshanhou to lead the 2 Tian Ce guards to go south first.

Looking back, I will send another 2 soldiers from the Yingzhou Guard, 1 from the Xiaoqi Camp, 1 from the Duoyan Guard, and 2 from the Shenji Camp. A total of [-] troops will go south.

We have a total of [-] troops, plus the [-] troops led by Wang Ji, plus the local army, it is almost enough.Let's try it first.

This year, Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou are all exempt from tax and corvee.

From the beginning of spring next year, small-scale exploratory operations can be launched.

When the emperor had to expand his territory, Annan was the first piece of land I got. "

Wang Xian asked curiously: "Shouldn't it be the speed of the soldiers? Didn't the Holy Majesty give An Nanguo enough time to prepare for the war?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I'm afraid he won't prepare for war. To the north of Annan is the 10,000+ imperial army of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, to the west is the army of Lancang Kingdom, to the south is the army of Champa Kingdom, and to the east is our Damingshui Teacher harassment.

Internally, their emperor is only ten years old, and the emperor has three brothers who are eyeing him.

An Nanguo has only such a small population, and he prepares for war casually. The more prepared for war, the greater the pressure on the people, the harder life is, and the faster the national power collapses. "

He Yi smiled and said, "Isn't the strategy of the Holy Majesty a copy of Wu Zixu's 'Three divisions are exhausted' and the Jin general Xun Yu's 'Three divisions into four armies'?
It's simple to say now, but once it is actually implemented, it will be too vicious and cruel, and the rulers of An Nanguo will probably scold their mothers. "

Wang Xian asked again: "In Annan's country, do their monarchs regard themselves as emperors?"

He Yi smiled and said: "In the Xuande Dynasty, after the traitors abandoned Annan, King Li Li of Annan ordered his founding hero Ruan Chai to draw up the "Pingwu Dagao".

Taizu won the world with Wu Wang, and Wu in "Ping Wu Da Gao" refers to Daming.

Think about it, people have 'leveled' Daming, shouldn't they be called emperors?

It's just that we Daming, that rare treacherous sycophant in the ages, are so beautiful there because we have achieved the extraordinary feat of abandoning Annan. "

Wang Xian was also speechless. In recent days, the anthology of Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong has been spread all over the capital. These two people regard abandoning Annan as a miraculous achievement, boasting in the anthology, and their shameless appearance is amazing.

Nowadays, the trend of public opinion has changed drastically, and the Xuande Dynasty has changed the idea of ​​abandoning land as beauty, and the government and the public have firmly supported the emperor's expansion of territory, so Sanyang's reputation can be said to be stinky to grandma's house.

All of this is thanks to the defeat of Emperor Gong Rang's Civil Fortress, which completely woke up everyone in Ming Dynasty.

Xuanmiao's absurd theory of governing the country that as long as the land is abandoned everywhere, the world can be peaceful was shattered by reality, and it was completely bankrupt.

He Yi asked again: "Your Majesty, Zheng Shao, the censor who inspected Zhili, and Wang Hu, an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, gave a performance to Liu Lian, the governor of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Unbearable rice, false officials silver salt class.

In addition, he entrusted his heart to appease Lin Zheng Yucang to supervise the collection, and killed Baiduan.He also ordered his family members, Liu Jing and others, to falsely transport rice, thus stealing more than a thousand taels of official silver, resulting in a loss of border reserves and tens of thousands of coarse grains. "

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly when he heard the words: "The reason why the elder brother Gongrang the emperor was defeated by civil engineering and lost the six divisions was because of these corrupt officials, evil officials, mediocre officials and lazy officials.

These bastards are either in the Huo Huo border guards, or they are storing grain and rice in Huo Huo's side.

Great Ming, let them all disappear.

Throw Liu Lian, his family's confidantes, and all the people involved in the incident into the imperial prison and torture them severely.Relevant people, etc., one must not be let go.

Once verified, I will use Liu Lian's head to make an example to others. "

Leaving He Yi and others to deal with this mess, Zhu Qiyu got up and went home.

Entering the Hehuan Palace, he heard the baby's innocent laughter, and Zhu Qiyu's mood immediately improved again.

Turning into the inner room, I saw Lin Xiangyu holding a small baby in her arms, walking back and forth on the ground to tease her.

Zhu Qiyu came closer and was about to hug him when he was taken aback suddenly: "Hey, this is not my son, my son doesn't look like this, and he isn't that big either."

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "No one said this is your son."

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Then who is this? Dare to be hugged by the widowed concubine? He'd better have a name, surname and background, otherwise it's up to me to punish his crimes."

Lin Xiangyu teased, "Husband, why does he even eat baby's vinegar? This is your brother."

"My brother?"

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a long time: "Oh, I see, this is Mu Cong, the little Duke of Qian who guarded Yunnan for our Daming."

"Your husband is so smart, you can guess right."

Zhu Qiyu hugged Mu Cong over and sized him up carefully: "Don't tell me, this little guy is quite handsome.

This bloodline inheritance is really amazing.We have never met his parents, but we have the responsibility to raise orphans for them.

Take good care of him, let him learn literature and martial arts with our son, and become the pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "All the monks around us have been driven away. I converted a Buddhist temple in Xishan into a house for the former wife of Duke Wei Mu to live with Mu Cong."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, now we are the Duke of Ming Dynasty, and there are also Duke Ying, Duke Wei, Duke Ding, Duke Qian, Duke An, Duke Cao, and Duke Xin.

It's really not easy, I want to cry when I mention it, all the Dukes of Ming Dynasty are finally ours.

At the level of Marquis, our people also accounted for the majority.

It's really hard to get to this day. "

Qianxue smiled and said: "Look, Duke Wei Xu Chengzong, Duke Ding Xu Yongning, Duke An Xu Heng, there are seven Dukes in total, and three of them have the surname Xu."

Zhu Qiyu replied: "Not only that, the Dukes of the old Xu family will become more and more powerful. When our Anguo young master Xu Xian gives birth to a daughter, we have to be engaged to him as we promised before, and give birth to our eldest son. Zhu Wenfang was given to someone as a foster son-in-law."
