I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 610 The Great Victory in Liaodong
Beijing, Chaoyangmen.

As Xiong Tingbi said, just when He Shixian arrived in Liaoyang and prepared to actively save himself, the messenger sent by Xiong Tingbi to report the victory had already arrived in the capital.

The messengers reporting the victory filed in through Chaoyang Gate and headed straight towards the imperial city.While riding wildly, he shouted to the people along the streets of the capital:

"The great victory in Liaodong, the great victory in Sarhu, the heavenly soldiers destroyed the Jianlu, [-] Jianlu were wiped out, and the bandit leader Nurhaci was captured alive!"

"Great victory in Liaodong, great victory in Sarhu~"

The messenger ran and shouted at the top of his lungs, and soon the news spread throughout Beijing.The people on both sides of the street stopped one after another, and they even looked surprised when they heard this.
Since the 45th year of Wanli, the situation in Liaodong has deteriorated, and bad news has come one after another. Saarhu, Fushun, and Kaitie have been lost one after another.

Coupled with the successive severe droughts in Liaodong, countless refugees from Liaodong have fled from Liaodong to Guannei and settled in the Gyeonggi area in recent years.Therefore, since last year, every time the imperial court used troops against Jianlu, both the people in the capital and the people in Liaodong who had settled in the capital paid close attention to the war.

And until today's great victory in Liaodong, the news came that Nurhachi was captured.These talents finally confirmed that Jianlu was completely finished, and the chaos in Liaodong was finally settled.

When many people in Liaodong heard the news, they all covered their faces and cried. They cried loudly that their revenge was finally avenged, and they finally no longer had to be displaced and could return to their hometown.

Other people in the capital also felt sad when they heard this. Although they did not feel the same as the refugees from Liaodong who fled to the capital, the continuous bad news from Liaodong in the past few years has made their ears almost numb.The rebellion was finally annihilated today, which really increased the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is still powerful. During the Shenzong Dynasty, Nurhachi was so powerful that he could not defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court. But after His Majesty came to the throne, he immediately reversed the situation. Now he is plowing the court and clearing holes. The Jurchens will probably be exterminated in the future. "

Seeing the messenger speeding past, the people in the capital on both sides of the road shook their heads and started discussing.

From the Wanli period to the present, many people have experienced the rise and fall of Jianlu, and can naturally understand its significance.

The problems that Emperor Shenzong could not solve back then were now reversed as soon as the emperor came to the throne.

By comparing the two, everyone will naturally understand which emperor is more powerful.

"That is, since His Majesty came to the throne, not only the situation in Liaodong, but also the entire Ming Dynasty has been different. He has punished corruption, cleared up tax arrears in Jiangnan, eradicated the White Lotus Sect, eradicated the rebellion in the southwest, and now eradicated the Liaodong rebels. It has only been a few years since he took the throne. , this martial arts is almost as good as Grandpa Shangcheng."

Watching the discussion among others, a businessman immediately echoed the words.In his opinion, the emperor really couldn't come.But before he finished speaking, a scholar with a scarf on his head shook his head and said:
"It's not just about martial arts, it's about culture and governance. We prepared military training schools, restructured the Imperial College, and implemented equalization of land and labor. We also resettled refugees in the capital and promoted farming. Now we are promoting new currency and encouraging immigrants."

Having said this, he shook his head and said thoughtfully:
"So many things have been done in more than two years. You said that if we put it back to normal, the people can bear it and the officials can bear it. Think about the time when Zhang Wenzhong (Zhang Juzheng's posthumous name) promoted reforms for ten years, but in the end it was all in vain. Well, there were many opponents of impeachment, both during his lifetime and after his death.

But it's different now. So many things were done by His Majesty.But there are very few opponents, which is really strange. "

As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt strange. The scholar was right.

The emperor did so many things that would have been impossible to do normally, but he managed to do them. It was really strange.

But as soon as their doubts arose, they heard a gray-haired old man next to them smile and shake his head, and said slowly:
"Haha, Your Majesty has been constantly suppressing rebellion and chaotic parties, and has never failed. Who among the officials dares to oppose it? Your Majesty has opened up internal funds to fill the national treasury. Who among the officials does not like this?
His Majesty opened up sea trade, set up customs, and let everyone participate in business and make money. Countless nobles, officials, and even merchants and common people in the capital made money because of this. Who doesn't like it among the people?Abolition of the mining ban, low status, encouraging recruitment of workers, and giving people more ways to survive. Who would object?

In fact, even though he has done so much, he actually only does one thing, which is to make the people rich.The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the country is peaceful.Even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty can do this, but there are very few who can actually do it. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, feeling that what the old gentleman said was very reasonable.

At this time, the messenger had already gone away, and the old gentleman stopped talking after he finished speaking. Instead, he turned and walked towards Chaoyang Gate. However, everyone vaguely felt that this man was extraordinary, maybe he was a master from the Imperial College.

As the news of the victory in Saarhu spread, there were countless chats like this, which also raised Zhu Youxiao's prestige to a new level.

As the protagonist, Zhu Youxiao was also in the Qianqing Palace at this time, anxiously waiting for the report from Liaodong.

Ever since Xiong Tingbi reported that Chen Liangbi had led an army to attack on his own initiative and arrived at the gate of Sarhu City, preparing to wipe out the Jianqi in one fell swoop, Zhu Youxiao had trouble sleeping and eating.

Although he knew that with the strength of Jingying and Chen Liangbi's steady character, this battle was most likely to be foolproof and could definitely be won.

But the location of the battle was Saarhu, and the person fighting against was Nurhachi.

Three years ago, the Ming Dynasty assembled an army of 20 to attack Nurhaci, but was defeated miserably in Sarhu. From then on, the situation in Liaodong deteriorated and became out of control.

Now three years later, the Ming Dynasty once again assembled its army to face Nurhaci in Sarhu. Even though the Ming Dynasty had an obvious advantage and Nurhaci was in a dead end, it still made Zhu Youxiao uneasy.

"Why hasn't Xiong Tingbi's report come yet? It's already two days late." Zhu Youxiao became a little impatient in waiting and asked Wei Zhongxian anxiously.

Seeing the emperor walking back and forth in the Nuan Pavilion with his hands behind his back, Wei Zhongxian on the side felt a little anxious, and then looked at Zhang Chang on the side, but Zhang Chang also shook his head, saying that he had not received it yet.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian could only bite the bullet and said to Zhu Youxiao:

"Your Majesty, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the General Administration Department and the palace gate. As soon as there is news from Liaodong, I will definitely send it to you as soon as possible."

Zhu Youxiao immediately felt dissatisfied as soon as he obeyed, shook his head and said:

"Xiong Tingbi's report comes every three days, but there has been no news for five days. Is there anything going on?"

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he sat down next to the couch, supported the tea table beside him with his hands, took a deep breath, and secretly said to himself to calm down.

He has never been as nervous as he has been in the past few days. In the past few days, he has not thought about food or tea, fearing that some bad news will come.

Wei Zhongxian had always seen Zhu Youxiao's situation during this period. Upon seeing this, he stepped forward, handed Zhu Youxiao a cup of tea, and then said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, please relax. Didn't you say so in Governor Xiong's report five days ago? Governor Chen has used Kru cannons to blast open the city wall of Sarhu and is preparing to send people into the city. It is only a matter of time before Sarhu is captured."

However, as soon as these words came out, Zhu Youxiao slowly shook his head, took the tea, and said slowly:
"Nurhaci hasn't moved yet? He will definitely not sit back and watch the city of Sarhu be destroyed. What if the imperial army is attacked by Sarhu?"

"Your Majesty, Governor Chen has acted steadily since he went to Liaodong. He will not send troops unless he is fully prepared. He will definitely have expected this, so please don't worry."

Zhu Youxiao sighed secretly when he heard this.He knew he couldn't rush, but he really couldn't control himself.

Because this time he has put down all his belongings in Liaodong, it can be said that he can only succeed and not fail, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted, so many years of hard work will be in vain, and even his prestige will suffer a major blow.

Therefore, for him, this battle can only succeed and absolutely cannot fail.

Thinking of this, he put down the teacup in his hand and said to Wei Zhongxian and others:

"I am impatient. Please step back and let me have some peace and quiet. If there is any news, please inform me as soon as possible."

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhongxian wanted to say more, but seeing Zhu Youxiao's behavior, he swallowed his words and resigned.

In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao was sitting cross-legged on the couch with his eyes closed and meditating.

Things in Liaodong are too involved. It can be said to be the most important and most concerning thing since he time traveled.Most of the measures he has taken since he succeeded to the throne are aimed at directly or indirectly dealing with Jianlu.

As a descendant, he was well aware of the consequences of the slaughter and enslavement of the people after the Jianlu invaders entered the Pass.

Because of this, he would never let this happen again. This incident also became his inner demon. The Sword of Damocles hanging above his head made him toss and turn, and he could not forget it for a long time.Because of this, the closer to the last critical moment, the more nervous he became.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but twist the beads in his hand, praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky and the ancestors of the Zhu family for a good result.

At this moment, he vaguely heard shouts coming from outside the palace, which seemed to be about the great victory of Liaodong.He immediately shook his head, he really was hallucinating.

But not only did the sound not disappear, but it got closer and closer, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Your Majesty, great victory in Liaodong! Great victory in Liaodong!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian and others who were waiting outside the palace had already heard the sound of victory in the distance, and saw the figures of people from the cabinet and military aircraft department rushing over. They quickly entered the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace and knelt down to Zhu Youxiao to announce the good news. .

Zhu Youxiao was finally sure that it was not his auditory hallucination, and he was immediately overjoyed.

Although he didn't know the specific battle situation, he knew the importance of the word "great victory".He stood up quickly and faced Wei Zhongxian and others with trembling hands.

"Quick, quick, get the good news!"
