Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

It is almost comparable to the previous 300,000 troops!

If the commander-in-chief has rebellious intentions, an unprecedented disaster will be waiting for the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty!"

"I think that rotating the commander every three years is not enough!"

"The soldiers in the army must also be disbanded and reorganized!"

"Try to avoid the emergence of village and county cliques, and put an end to the emergence of small circles and small groups in the military!"

"And there are Xuanwu Lang. The ones we have now are far from enough. We need to send more Xuanwu Lang to the army!"

If Zhu Youxiao's proposal had been put forward two years ago, among the civil and military officials in the court, except Wei Zhongxian and his men, other civil servants would definitely have many objections.

However, over the past year or so, Zhu Youxiao has completely grasped the right to speak in the Ming Dynasty.

So when faced with the proposal for military reform, the first thing that everyone present thought of was not whether this thing could be done!

But how to do it in order to get this thing done!

Wen Tiren took the lead, followed by Sun Chengzong, and then others began to express their opinions.

After the outline was drawn up, the remaining details had to be slowly worked out, but the overall direction of the military reform was determined on the spot.

Then, Guo Yunhou seemed to have thought of something.

"Your Majesty!"

"Liaodong has been recovered, and the Ming Dynasty has gained a new Wofu."

"Also, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places have been in turmoil for the past year. I propose to re-verify the population and household registration and measure the land!"

Zhou Liangxu, the censor of Shanxi Province in the crowd, instantly became alert upon hearing this.

"May I ask, Lord Guo, what are you going to do with the land that was given to the people by the rebel army?"

After saying that, he stared at Guo Yunhou, wanting to see how he would answer.

This problem has been around for a long time.

But each time, it was forced down.

The memorials could not be delivered to the emperor, and those who came to appeal for justice were sent back by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The Censorate had already been arguing over this matter, but since it could not get its voice heard directly from the emperor, they had no other options.

But today!

Guo Laokou actually took the initiative to propose to measure the land. This is a rare opportunity!

But when Guo Yunhou heard his words, he burst into laughter on the spot.

"Hahahaha, that's what Censor Zhou said!"

"The archives are stored in the warehouses of various provincial capitals. We just need to check and compare them. How difficult can it be?"

Zhou Cunxu was stunned: "Master Guo! The archives in the prefectures and cities were burned down by the rebel army a long time ago. How could there be any archived files?"

Guo Yunhou pretended to be confused and looked at him: "Is it gone?"

Wen Tiren nodded silently beside him: "It seems to be gone!"

"Hi!"

Guo Yunhou waved his hand when he heard this.

"It's gone, so be it. We have to measure it again anyway."

Zhou Cunxu: ???

Chapter 615: Checking the Land

What do you mean it’s gone?

Also, Wen Tiren, you are the Prime Minister!

In such a situation, you actually stand up and try to smooth things over?

Is there any bottom line left?!

Zhou Cunxu felt very depressed when he saw these two old guys actually playing a double act in unison in the court!

He looked at Guo Yunhou, then at Wen Tihen, and finally gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach you!"

"Minister of Revenue Guo Yunhou and Chief Minister of the Cabinet Wen Tiren are old and weak, almost demented!"

"There are countless people in the four provinces who have been harmed by the rebels. A large amount of land has been taken by the rebels to buy people's hearts. But listen to what Lord Guo said!"

"He clearly knew that the warehouses in various provincial capitals had been burned down, yet he still said such nonsense as 'it's gone, it's gone'!"

"His Majesty!"

"I ask for your permission..."

Before he could finish his words, Wen Tiren stood up with an unhappy look on his face, pointing at the nose of Left Censor-in-Chief Fang Zhuangli and speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"The surname is Fang!"

"Is this the man you brought with you?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I will hang myself in front of your house tomorrow, so that I won't be called an old man who won't die!"

Fang Zhuangli: ......

This damn thing is so fucking daring!

He turned around and glared at Zhou Cunxu fiercely.

"Just talk about the matter!"

"Who gave you the guts to insult the Prime Minister?"

"Get out of here and kneel outside the Meridian Gate for three hours!"

"If you dare to miss even a minute, you will have to return your official uniform to the Censorate at night!"

Zhou Cunxu was stunned. Kneeling outside the Meridian Gate for three hours would be fatal!

Even if I don't die, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on a wheelchair to live the rest of my life...

"My Lord! You can't do this!"

"Just now, you clearly gave me a signal to talk about the land..."

Wen Tiren:?

Guo Yunhou:?

The rest of the officials:?

Everyone looked at Fang Zhuangli, wanting to hear how he was going to explain.

Fang Zhuangli never thought that this bastard would be so unreliable...

His face turned red for a moment, and he wished he could strangle Zhou Cunxu to death right here!

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"He is just trying to curry favor with me. I never told him to talk about the land!"

"okay!"

Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to listen to his explanation and simply waved his hand and issued an order in public.

"The punishment of kneeling at the Meridian Gate will be waived!"

"But since the Censorate mentioned the issue of land, we must investigate it thoroughly!"

"The Ministry of Revenue will put the land surveying issue aside for now. All the censors of the Censorate will go to Shaanxi and Shanxi to inspect the land from tomorrow!"

When Guo Yunhou heard the first two sentences, he was a little confused, but when he heard the second sentence, his mouth was twisted with joy and he immediately threw out a flattery.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Wen Tiren wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He also bowed and complimented: "Your Majesty cares about the people of the world. It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the country!"

The others had more or less guessed something, and when they looked at Fang Zhuangli again, there was a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

But Fang Zhuangli felt unwell!

Let the censor check the land...

He could imagine what the consequences would be!

Those people are said to be unarmed, powerless and powerless, but don't forget what they have just experienced!

It’s not that easy to take the land back from them!

The most important thing is that these imperial censors in the Censorate are great at talking big. If they are really asked to do the work, who knows what the result will be...

He wanted to say something else, but Zhu Youxiao was already waving at everyone.

"As for the military reform, my dear ministers, please go back and discuss it carefully."

"The establishment of each military region and the appointment of the first generals of each military region should come up with results as soon as possible."

"In three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation."

"Okay, everyone, please step back!"

With Wei Zhongxian's loud shout, the morning court ended in a hurry.

Walking out of the palace and looking at the other officials going away, Zhou Cunxu hung his head and followed Fang Zhuangli, not daring to even breathe loudly.

It was not until he returned to the lobby of the Censorate that he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life. I know I am wrong!"

Fang Zhuangli stared at him as if he were a dead man: "You? His Majesty didn't punish you, so I dare not punish you in private!"

"You got the job, so you should lead people to Shaanxi to survey the land!"

"I'll give you a month. If you can't figure it out, don't come back. I'll tell the Ministry of Personnel and send you to the Japanese government to be a county magistrate. You can stay there and retire there."

"Go ask around the Censorate yourself. If there are any who are willing to go with you, I will let them all go!"

These words were very clear, and Zhou Cunxu also understood the other meaning behind them.

He was abandoned...

Don’t ever think about returning to the capital, the center of power, in this life!

All this was not because he exposed the matter of the land, but because he spoke rudely to Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou..........

That's it!

On the other hand, after Sun Chengzong returned to the Ministry of War, he immediately called together the left and right assistant ministers, as well as the heads of various departments, and began intensive planning for the military district reform.

Zhu Youxiao returned to the harem and was about to enjoy the friendly guest appearance of Mai Shiranui by Concubine Yura, when he saw Xiao Shizi standing outside the palace and whispered.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have reported that Commandant Yu has disembarked in Tianjin."

After all, the treasure ship was a treasure ship. It was powered by a steam engine and it took only half a month to return to Tianjin from Wafu.

Thinking of the telegram sent back earlier saying that Yutong broke his leg during the match against Tokugawa Iemitsu, Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked outside.

After taking two steps, he turned back and said to Concubine Liang.

"Change your clothes and go to Tianjin with me!"

Concubine Liang was stunned when she heard this. He is just a eunuch, and His Majesty wants to go and pick him up in person?

Is this grace a bit excessive?

The thought lingered in her mind for a long time, but she didn't dare say it out loud. She just changed her clothes silently and followed Zhu Youxiao out of the palace.

The horse-drawn carriage was replaced with a bullock cart outside the city, and it roared all the way towards Tianjin.

Chapter 616: Hold it back for me!

Tianjin pier.

Youtong was carried off the treasure ship. After more than half a month of rest, the injury on his left leg still had not healed.
