Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1057: The Attack of Ming Dynasty (4)

"What the hell is this gang! Damn it!! I'm finally enlightened!"

"Damn it, if it were me, I would chop Qian Qianyi into pieces, and I still wouldn't feel satisfied!!"

"As soon as the power is in hand, he will issue orders. Damn it, I have finally opened my eyes!"

"Fuck! This money case is so frustrating to try. In their eyes, they never regard the people as human beings. No wonder His Majesty said that we must not be lenient when dealing with corrupt officials. We must kill any corrupt officials we catch!"

"It's f*cking hell that even with the continued tightening of the law, there are still people who dare to commit crimes in defiance of the law. If the law is not tightened, who knows what will happen."

While the Military Affairs Council was tense about the situation in the southern part of the desert, the atmosphere in one part of the Imperial City was also extremely tense, and everything that was discussed was related to an important case.

Zhu Ciran sat on a chair, his calves swinging constantly, his bright eyes looking at the elders, whether standing or sitting, all of whom had indignant expressions.

After Qian Qianyi's failed suicide attempt, his fifth uncle couldn't stand the trauma and went to the Yangxin Palace to get caught in the rain. His father asked his group of elders to help his fifth uncle in trying Qian's case.

Zhu Ciran saw everything about these elders, from their initial calmness to their current restlessness.

Even though he is young, he can still understand some things.

"Brother Jian, I understand how depressed you were before."

Zhu Shugui put his hands on his waist and looked at Zhu Youjian who was in deep thought. "I know that these corrupt officials should be killed, especially Qian Qianyi, but they cannot be killed. If they are really killed, it will be impossible to dig out the people behind them and the followers who have not been found. That feeling is really fucking uncomfortable."

"Who says it's not?"

Zhu Cixiong followed closely and said, "This involves both the central government and the local authorities. The key is that some people are hiding the truth in order to save their lives. Every time they are about to be identified, they come up with a few more words, which makes it necessary to review the relevant cases."

"No wonder your majesty said that once the law was made, the lower classes rarely violated it. After all, they have no backing, let alone confidence. If they violated the law, they would suffer."

Zhu Yipai followed closely and said, "On the contrary, those who formulate and enforce the laws are the most likely to violate the laws. Why? It's because they have backers and confidence. Even if something really happens, they can just talk and make connections, and a big case can be turned into a small case, and a small case can be turned into nothing."

"I've finally opened my eyes this time. If the Qian case is investigated, I'll have to live ten years less. I've been irritated by these beasts for the past ten years. No, calling them beasts is an insult to beasts."

"Okay, just stop talking."

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian sighed and said, "If they are so enthusiastic, they should think about how to interrogate them next. Now Qian Qianyi and the others have confessed some things involving the royal family."

"This is no small matter."

"If this is true, then the impact will be huge. After all, many people today have strong opinions about the clan and vassal states. You are not unaware of this."

When Zhu Shugui and the others heard this, they all fell silent.

As time went by, many things in the Ming Dynasty had changed. Because of Zhu Youxiao's continuous reforms, some groups secretly fanned the flames.

This includes the royal family and vassal states. Through this situation, the people will be resentful of the royal family and vassal states, thereby reducing the positive response to the emperor and the central government after the implementation of the new policy.

At the same time, as Zhu Youxiao continued to empower the Zongrenfu and impose restrictions on the clan and vassal groups, many of those with a strong foundation and family assets within the clan and vassal groups began to resent the emperor.

No matter when, as long as reform occurs, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. There will always be a small group of people who are exclusive and hostile.

Despite this situation, Zhu Youxiao's determination never changed.

Because Zhu Youxiao knew that what he did was to make some people dissatisfied. Only in this way could he satisfy the majority of people. As long as he could achieve this, the Ming Dynasty could continue and its national destiny could be revived.

"Fifth uncle, since it involves the royal family, let's ask the clan office to get involved." Seeing that Zhu Youjian and the others remained silent, Zhu Ciran blinked and spoke.

"Brother Ran, things are not as simple as you think."

After hearing this, Zhu Shugui forced a smile and said to Zhu Ciran, "If the Zongrenfu really intervenes, there will definitely be some people who will use it to make trouble. Now the Zongfans need to be appeased. After all, His Majesty previously issued an edict to take away a large amount of land under the names of the Zongfans in various places, and then participated in the business established by the Zongrenfu in Dongfan. This has caused a lot of resentment among people."

"The key is that when doing this, His Majesty also issued an edict to clarify the scale of food fields that the clan and vassal nobles can own. If they exceed the scope, they will be taxed more heavily. If during this period, anyone dares to ask the clan guards under the jurisdiction of the clan affairs office to find out that anyone has concealed or made false reports, they will be demoted."

"And..."

"Ancestor, are you thinking too complicated?"

But Zhu Ciran's words made Zhu Shugui stop, while Zhu Youjian and the others showed different expressions.

"Didn't the emperor ask my fifth uncle to be in charge of the money case in order to catch the treacherous villain behind the scenes?" Zhu Ciran looked at Zhu Youjian and the others with some confusion.

"Also, influenced by Qian Qianyi's failed suicide attempt, Father also asked you, the ancestors, to assist Uncle Wu in the investigation. Isn't this also to find out who the real culprit is?"

"Now that we have some clues, shouldn't we adopt an attitude?"

"Since someone wants to make a fuss, let them do it. If someone really has the intention, can't we just follow the clues to find out?"

Ok?
When Zhu Youjian, Zhu Shugui and others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

"yes!!"

Zhu Yipai clapped his hands and said, "To put it bluntly, even if it comes to the end, if this important case really causes chaos in some places, the central government still has a large army, can't they just suppress it directly?"

"Yes."

Zhu Shugui followed closely and said, "Even on the side of the vassal state, if anyone dares to make trouble, the Imperial Ming Army is not a mere decoration. They are all members of the Zhu family, but they are doing things that ruin the Zhu family. Such unfilial descendants should all be arrested to prevent the Zhu family's kingdom from being destroyed in the end."

By keeping Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian and other vassal princes by his side and guiding and indoctrinating them for such a long period of time, their thoughts and thinking became very close to Zhu Youxiao's.

This is also what Zhu Youxiao wants to see.

The work styles, attitudes, and personalities of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty can be very different. After all, everyone is different, but their thoughts and thinking must be consistent. Only in this way can the ministers at the center help Zhu Youxiao one by one and truly share his worries.

The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, and endless incidents occurred under its rule.

Just like in this period, the Military Affairs Council and others are almost going crazy because of the Mo Nan issue, but other officials in the Ming Dynasty all have their own things to do.

It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to stop all other things just because of a battle in the south of the desert. If that were the case, the Ming Dynasty would just give up. According to Zhu Youxiao's idea, the special group of royal ministers should have people in all fields. This can not only play a deterrent role, but also play a role of checks and balances and monitoring. In this way, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be afraid of being kept in the dark about anything.

Of course, relying solely on the king and his ministers is not enough. There also needs to be an imperial party and other groups. Everything that is done is actually for the purpose of checks and balances.

Only by achieving checks and balances can the Ming Dynasty reach a stable state.

"Your Highness, it's not good."

In this situation, Li Dingguo ran into the hall, and under the gaze of Daodao, he ran to Zhu Ciran and said, "Go and take a look. They are quarreling over the matter of Mo Nan."

Ok?
Hearing this, Zhu Ciran quickly jumped off the chair and walked out of the hall.

When Zhu Youjian and the others saw this, they all followed him out.

They had heard something about what happened in Mo Nan. After all, the Military Affairs Council had many transfer orders to be issued, and they had to be reported urgently through the Ministry of War's Chariot and Imperial Guards. It was inevitable that some people would know about the situation in Mo Nan.

In fact, in the central government and the capital, many voices have been heard because of the Mo Nan incident.

"You are wrong in thinking this way."

When the group arrived, they saw a group of children and teenagers gathered together. The one who spoke was Sun Kewang. "If I were Jianlu, I would definitely not sit and wait for death. No matter how the battle in Monan is fought, up to now, I still have the initiative. While the Ming Dynasty has not yet reacted, I will fight a few small-scale battles first and take the opportunity to plunder as many people as possible. This is the key."

"That's right!"

Li Guo followed closely and said: "Don't think that you can't resettle and deter people just because you've plundered them. The Eight Banners system of the Jianlu is the most suitable for adaptation in war."

"As long as we fight a battle, kill some of the weak ones, and give generous rewards to those who perform well, then this group of captured people can be quickly converted."

"But my Ming Dynasty is not just for show."

Li Fuchen frowned and said, "Will Hong Chengchou in Liao sit back and watch all this happen? Don't forget, His Majesty has set up the Lifanyuan to continue pursuing Manchuria and Mongolia. Since Liaodong has learned so much military intelligence, it must react."

"If I were Hong Chengchou, I would intervene in the battle in the south of the desert and try every possible means to fight the Jianlu first. After all, Oba, the backbone of Khorchin, was killed by Huang Taiji, which has a great impact on the Khorchin tribes."

"You put it lightly."

Liu Wenxiu said at this moment: "If we really want to intervene in advance, have you ever thought that the tigers and rabbits who dare not fight against the Jianlu will be more determined to move westward after seeing our dynasty's tough performance?"

"Don't forget, our dynasty is reforming the army, but it has not yet involved the northwest. The Mongols cannot spy on all the changes, but they know where the frontier regions are strong and weak, right?"

When Zhu Ciran, Zhu Youjian and others arrived, they all watched in silence when they heard the arguments. Even Zhu Youjian and his companions walked up to them and looked down at the stones placed on the ground surrounded by the children and teenagers.

Although Sun Kewang and others participated in the trial of the Qian case together with Zhu Ciran, for them, military matters were more likely to attract them.

So, when Zhu Youjian and others were discussing the secrets of the Qian case, these people were all outside, so it was inevitable that they talked about Mo Nan.

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he couldn't help but feel emotional. These little guys selected by his royal brother were really not simple at all.

Although they are small, some of their ideas are very advanced.

Like Li Guo, Li Dingguo, Yuan Zongde, Li Fuchen (Wang Fuchen), Zeng Ying, Cao Xun, Yuan Tao, Yao Yulin, Wang Guangxing, Wang Guangchang, Cao Dingjiao and others who were under ten years old.

Like Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Wang Xiang, Yang Zhan, Hu Yunfeng, Wu Dading, Tan Hong, Tan Yi, Tan Wen, Wang Youjin, Hu Jiusi and others who were over ten years old.

All of them stayed in the Yongwei Camp for a period of time, and then were transferred to Zhu Ciran in batches.

And on the side of the Yongwei Camp, there is another powerful man.

That is Cao Bianjiao.

Under his leadership, the Yongwei Battalion, although young in age, is not weak in combat effectiveness. The key is that the Yongwei Battalion is also a fully-organized firearms unit.

In Zhu Youxiao's words, the Yongwei Battalion is the future of the Ming Dynasty's army.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

Zhu Youjian, who was originally feeling emotional, was interrupted by the sound of greetings. He saw Sun Kewang and others all bowing respectfully to Zhu Ciran.

"Why are not you talking?"

Zhu Ciran looked at Sun Kewang and the others, "What you said is very good, you can continue."

Originally, he thought that they were about to roll up their sleeves and fight when they started arguing, but he didn't expect that they were discussing the affairs of Mo Nan. After getting along with these people, Zhu Ciran knew their personalities too well. He was no longer surprised when they quarreled or even fought over some things.

But despite this, there was no barrier between them.

"I have finished speaking."

Seeing this, Sun Kewang glanced around and said, "We are guilty of delaying the discussion of important matters between you princes and highnesses."

"Brother Jian, they are blaming themselves."

Seeing this, Zhu Shugui smiled and said to Zhu Youjian.

"Okay, I'm glad you're okay."

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said, "But Qian'an, I think what Ran Ge'er just reminded us is right. We can't let our hands and feet be tied."

As he spoke, Zhu Youjian smiled, bent down and picked up Zhu Ciran, "Ran Ge'er, you helped me this time, haha!"

I just heard Sun Kewang and the others discussing something, which made Zhu Youjian understand one thing. Although the Qian Qianyi case has attracted a lot of attention, it is now affected by Mo Nan, and the attention may have been diverted. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he should investigate everything as soon as possible, which will be beneficial for the subsequent investigation of the case.

He could even use the Qian Qianyi case to further investigate the remaining forces in the southeast, which might help his brother solve many of his troubles.
