Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 134 I am not Chongzhen!

Zhu Yousong immediately sent a message to Lu Jiude, the chief eunuch who was in charge of the East Factory, and knew that he was capable as a military adviser. He still sent an order to let him supervise Henan, and manage Henan Guide and Suizhou together with Henan Governor Chen Qianfu and Chief Soldier Yuan Shu. , Military and political defense matters in the Kaifeng area, told him that the focus of the supervisor this time is not to defend against the Qing Tartars, but mainly to defend against internal thieves, to pay attention to Liu Zeqing in the east, and to guard against Huama Liu in the west.

Finally, Zhu Yousong urged earnestly: "It's a heavy burden, you must strictly keep the secret."

Even though Lu Jiude didn't know why guarding against internal thieves was more important than guarding against foreign invaders, he had no choice but to kneel down quickly, "Don't worry, my lord, thanks to my lord's attention to my servants, my servants are overwhelmed by flattery, and my servants are not disgraceful of their mission."

Zhu Yousong nodded, "Well, you did a good job some time ago. Now there are nearly [-] troops in the three places in Henan, and you have captured the traitor Li Chengdong. Your contribution is indispensable. Come here and give me a jade belt and a brocade robe!"

The servant quickly brought over a set of python robes and a jade belt, and gave them to Jiu Lude. Of course, this is different from the emperor's dragon robes, the color and shape are similar, but the dragon pattern on it is one claw less, and the gold belt also has the words "Imperial Gift", but This is undoubtedly the supreme honor of the minister.

Lu Jiude took it, held it high above his head, his voice was trembling, and he kowtowed respectfully to Zhu Yousong twice, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness... There is nothing for a servant to repay, but to do one's best... "

The next day, Lu Jiude left the capital for Henan with a secret decree.

This time Huang Degong personally escorted him to Beijing and stayed in the capital for a few days. Now he has not left Beijing and is stationed in a post house. Zhu Yousong passed down an order to summon Huang Degong alone at the West Terrace of Wuying Hall.

Huang Degong didn't know what was going on, and knelt down on the ground after entering the interview.

"Governor Fengyang, Aiqing, is very happy and congratulatory. When do you plan to leave?"

Huang Degong kowtowed, "Return to Your Majesty, I am going to leave tomorrow, what orders does Your Majesty have?"

"It's nothing serious. After Aiqing returns, Chuzhou, Fengyang and Xuzhou will use heavy troops, many good generals."

"My minister leads the decree." Huang Degong said, but he didn't understand Zhu Yousong's intention, and his face was full of doubts.

Chuzhou, Fengyang and Xuzhou use heavy troops and many good generals to deal with whom?Gao Jie is finished, the huge Chuzhou, Fengyang and Xuzhou are no longer worrying, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeliang are also safe, they didn't make any big moves, unlike Gao Jie who is arrogant and arrogant, and spread troops to Yangzhou, what is your majesty's intention?Could it be that Your Majesty is going to use troops against the Tartars, first deploying defenses against the capital, and then sending troops to Xuzhou. I heard that the Tartars have arrived in Shandong now?
Seeing Huang Degong's full of suspicion, Zhu Yousong said seriously: "Isn't Liu Liangzuo's younger brother working for the Tartars? I want to invite him to Beijing for a discussion and see when he plans to vote for it; He refused to hand over his land income, and even set up a name to control what I wanted. I also wanted to ask him face to face what he did with all the money, whether his palaces were completed, and whether he still lacked money? How many women have he raised in total, is it enough to enjoy? ?”

When Zhu Yousong said this, his face was calm and his tone was steady, like a parent, and it seemed a bit funny. Huang Degong almost laughed out loud. Your Majesty is really discerning. Your Majesty knows everything about Liu Zeqing and Huama Liu Clear and clear, but Huang Degong couldn't laugh after careful consideration.

Zhu Yousong's words sounded like thunder, and Huang Degong immediately realized that the emperor was going to attack Huama Liu and Liu Zeqing. These two guys should have taken care of them long ago!However, he set up a name so cleverly that the emperor wanted this and that, and refused to hand in the income. Isn't this beating the humble minister?

The financial revenue of the territory under his jurisdiction refused to be handed over to the imperial court, but he found an excuse to ask the imperial court for food and wages. This is also the job he, Huang Chuangzi, had done. Feel.

Thinking of this, Huang Degong hurriedly kowtowed again, "Your Majesty is wise, I must guard the most elite troops in these three places. If anyone dares to disobey the court, I, Huang Degong, will serve him with iron whips and cannons. In addition, now It's already the post-autumn period, and when I return, I will ask Yousi Yamen to take inventory, and from now on, all the income in the Weichen defense area will be donated to His Majesty, so that the accounts will be clear."

Zhu Yousong nodded, "Qing's loyalty can be seen in the sun and the moon, and I am very relieved. What my Ming Dynasty lacks is a virtuous minister and general like Qing. Come here, and reward Huang Aiqing's bullfighting uniform!"

The bullfighting uniform is an official uniform bestowed by the Ming Dynasty on officials of the first rank. It is embroidered with the genus of beast and bullfighting. This is undoubtedly a great honor for being a minister.

Huang Degong took it from the courtier, held it high above his head, and respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Yousong twice, his nose was sore and his voice trembled, "Thank you for your kindness... Thank you for your kindness..." As a For the first time as a general, he was so moved that he stopped speaking.

At the end, Zhu Yousong also told Huang Degong not to tell anyone about today's affairs. After Huang Degong was sent away, Zhu Yousong felt that the cage had been tied up. You can let go and clean them up!

But such a big matter undoubtedly has to go through the cabinet, and the cabinet also has its own soldiers, otherwise these old antiques and Donglin party members would have to point fingers and gossip, so Zhu Yousong immediately sent a message to Gao Hong, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of war picture.

These days Gao Hongtu was busy preparing for the start of the examination in a month's time, when he heard that the emperor had heard about it, he dared not neglect, changed into a brand new official uniform, sat on the platform of eight and hurried to the Hall of Martial Arts.

When Gao Hongtu knelt on the ground, Zhu Yousong asked him to lie flat without courtesy. After Gao Hongtu thanked him, he stood and listened to the training.

"Gao Aiqing, I got a report from the Tang Dynasty. The traitor Li Zicheng and the Qing Tartars fought in Shaanxi. We have cleaned up the factory guards in the Ming Dynasty, eradicated the rebellious party, and the soldiers have enough food. The time has come for the Celestial Dynasty to suppress the thieves. I don't know what your opinion is about using soldiers?"

"Your Majesty is holy." Gao Hongtu kowtowed upwards. He is a typical main fighter. As soon as Zhu Yousong came to the throne, he made a list of eight things. One of the contents was to move to the central capital, enter Shandong, and expel the eastern captives. , so Zhu Yousong agreed with what he said.He asked again: "But how does your majesty fight, where to send troops and horses, and where to attack first?"

As Minister of the Ministry of War, he had to consider this.

Zhu Yousong had already thought about it, "Wuhan's Zuo Liangyu Department must defend the rogues Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, of course they must not move lightly. The other troops are weak and far away and cannot be used close by. The heavy ground should not be moved lightly, so the only thing to do is to recruit troops from Dongpingbo and Changpingbo towns."

Gao Hongtu frowned slightly, "Your Majesty's words are very true. It's just that Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are self-respecting and domineering. As early as when the late Emperor Chongzhen was here, the second generals would not listen to the imperial court's dispatch. , it’s best to discuss this matter again.”

"I knew they didn't listen to the court, otherwise how could I use an excuse to deal with them, I'm not Chongzhen!"

Zhu Yousong thought in his heart, but he didn't say that, he shook his head and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. The food king's salary is to repay the king's favor, and the love is to draw up an order. Let them see you." Immediately after the decree, send troops to Henan and Shandong to recover the lost land, there must be no mistakes!"

PS: Dear friends, the support for these two days is not enough. Is it because Xiaocao’s limited level has written all of you away? It’s more uncomfortable than killing Xiaocao, because this book is cared for like my own child. No matter what, she can't be allowed to die young!I still feel that Xiaocao is too slow. There are too many things in the past two days. Check and check again. Careful friends may have discovered it. Xiaocao gets up at two or three in the morning to update the code for everyone, and at eleven or twelve in the evening I can't rest yet, my physical condition plummets, alas, I will cry if I talk too much.In any case, Xiaocao must be worthy of everyone's support, work hard to code words, work hard to update, and ensure the normal completion of the book.But it undoubtedly needs a lot of active support. I believe that this book will be more exciting with you, and those who need extras are welcome. Everyone is welcome to leave a message. Just say what you want to see. Xiaocao will definitely work hard to make everyone enjoy it.The plot of the novel cannot be repeated, and it is indeed a bit nerve-wracking to write new ideas to clean up the warlords of the four towns. The history of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty must also be written, otherwise I think it will be a bit distorted. Welcome everyone to leave a message and exchange.
