I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

News of Chahar's victory soon spread throughout the capital.

However, the most concerning thing among them is not that Chahanhot was conquered and Chahar was destroyed, but that the imperial army actually captured the Mongolian Khan Lindan Khan, and even obtained the Chuanguo that the former Yuan Dynasty took away after fleeing to Mongolia. Imperial jade seal.

After all, this is something that the court has always wanted but not been able to achieve since Taizu founded the country.Because it has not been obtained, there have been various rumors among the people that Mongolia has not exhausted its power and will be in trouble for the Ming Dynasty in the future.

But now all these rumors have disappeared, and with the support of these rumors, Zhu Youxiao's prestige has reached a new peak.

After succeeding to the throne, he pacified the White Lotus Sect, She'an, and Liaodong turmoil. Now he conquered Chahar and captured the Mongolian Khan.All these things made Zhu Youxiao's already extremely high reputation reach a higher level again.

What surprised Zhu Youxiao even more was that not only Zhu Xieyuan sent good news, but also Xuanda University general Yang Zhaoji took advantage of the situation to send good news.

According to the report, he personally led the elite troops of Xuanda to raid the Haraqin (Harashen) headquarters of Lindan Khan.Since Lin Dan Khan had already led his elite troops on the move, his camp was filled with old, weak, women and children, who were completely vulnerable. All his cattle, sheep and horses were captured by Yang Zhaoji, which could be described as a great victory.

From this point on, there were no more enemies of the Ming Dynasty in the vast grasslands from the west of Datong, through Chahar and Horqin to Tieling and Kaiyuan in Liaodong.Now the only major enemies of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty are the Mobei Mongolia and the left-wing Mongolian tribes located in Qinghai, Liaohetao, and Guihua City.

Due to all this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly had one less worry to worry about, at least now he could be sure.

When there is a severe drought in the Ming Dynasty in a few years, there will be no external enemies to invade, and he can concentrate on solving the problem of natural disasters that have lasted for more than ten years.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also took advantage of the situation to discuss with Ye Xianggao and others to re-plan the Liaodong and Chahar departments.

On the basis of the already established Horqin and Khalkha Guards, the Chahar Guards will be established.Of these three guards, Horqin and Khalkha belong to Liaodong, and Horqin belongs to Guangning. Each has official positions such as hereditary commander, thousand households, and hundred households.

However, the city of Chahanhot was too deep into the grassland and was really important for controlling Mongolia. Therefore, the imperial court dispatched the general and led the army to station here, and set up Mongolian ministers here to deal with the affairs of the three guards.

With the establishment of the Three Guards and the extermination of the Jurchens, the entire Liaodong no longer had the problem of building forts at all levels to prevent border invasions.So Zhu Youxiao took the opportunity to issue an edict to abolish the Liaodong Dusi, and on this basis, set up the Liaodong Three Divisions.

The process of abolishing the health system and reforming the government in Liaodong has been advancing without interruption.Starting from the establishment of Liaohe County, and then all the four counties south of Liaoyang were given to prefectural counties, etc., so the establishment of the third division is now a matter of course.

Zhu Youxiao also took this opportunity to transfer Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Guowei, who were working hard in Liaohe County, back to the capital.

By the time Lu Xiangsheng and others received the edict and set off from Liaohe County back to the capital, it was already September.

In September of the fourth year of Tianqi, the Forbidden City.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Guowei arrived at Dong'anmen, they saw Zhang Chang, the emperor's personal eunuch, who had been waiting for a long time.

As the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhang Chang naturally knew how much the emperor valued Lu Xiangsheng.Therefore, they greeted Lu Xiangsheng as soon as they met, and then they did not dare to let the emperor wait. He immediately took them through Dong'an Gate and went straight to Qianqing Palace. "Master Lu, you are late. Your Majesty just held a prisoner presentation ceremony at the Meridian Gate last month. Governor Zhu actually captured Lin Danhan. It was really a great achievement. Many people were awarded the title of marquis, and then they It was a banquet held at the Wenhua Hall, and the scene was really spectacular, it’s a pity that you didn’t see it.”

Just as everyone was passing by the Wenhua Hall, Zhang Chang couldn't help but recall the scene where the emperor entertained Zhu Xieyuan and other meritorious ministers last month.That lively scene can only be compared to the prisoner presentation ceremony last year.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard what Zhang Chang said, although he smiled and said nothing, he couldn't help but look at the Wenhua Hall.

He is not only good at imperial examinations, but also has a lot of experience in military affairs.Therefore, after arriving in Liaodong, he could not help but make his own plans for the Liaodong war. Every time the court won a victory and the generals made achievements, he was very envious.

But after three years in Liaodong, he is finally coming forward.

And just after Zhang Chang and Lu Xiangsheng walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace, they saw a young eunuch coming over immediately, bowing to Zhang Chang and saying:

"Eunuch Zhang, His Majesty is furious in the palace right now. Please go over and have a look."

Zhang Chang was shocked when he heard this. He first signaled Lu Xiangsheng and others to wait outside the palace. He quickly entered Qianqing Palace and walked to Dongnuang Pavilion. But before he reached Dongnuan Pavilion, he heard Zhu Youxiao's roar inside.

"This is too arrogant. These clans are really embarrassing me by doing this among the people."

Zhang Chang tiptoed in and saw the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Wei Dazhong, who were obeying orders. The emperor was holding a title book and was very angry. It seemed that he was angry at the content.

"This King Fu is still my uncle, how could he be so greedy? On that day, I reported to the emperor that he could use the miscellaneous taxes on Dizhou along the Yangtze River, as well as the Sichuan salt wells and tea silver for his own use, and the emperor agreed.

But why did he want to embarrass the Chief Secretary of Henan for his own selfish reasons? Zhongzhou originally consumed Hedong salt, but he ordered all people to switch to Huai salt, and even issued a ban saying that Huai salt other than those sold by Prince Fu's Palace could not be traded.Not only did all the benefits of salt go to Prince Fu's palace, but salt from Hedong was banned, resulting in a shortage of military pay for the border guards.

Let me ask who gave him this power. He really thought he was the emperor and issued decrees at will.Besides, the Chief Secretary of Henan Province is just a jobber. How could he even conceal such a thing and not report it to me until this moment? "

The emperor's fierce words made Zhang Weixian and others turn pale.Especially after hearing the emperor's last words, Zhang Weixian immediately panicked and immediately knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm afraid the Chief Secretary of Henan Province has something to hide about this matter. After all, King Fu is of the Shenzong bloodline and must be kept under observation."

When Zhu Youxiao heard what Zhang Weixian said, not only did he not feel relieved, but he became even more angry.

Last year, he asked Zhang Weixian to take charge of the affairs of the clan. Taking advantage of the rebellion of the Qi people, he reformed the clan regulations and investigated the illegal activities of the clan.

But it doesn't matter if you don't investigate. After investigation, you find that there are really a lot of illegal things about the clan, and there is no way to complete the investigation.Among them, there were many illegal things involving the vassal kings, so they didn't know how to deal with them, so they could only report to the emperor to make up his mind.
