Chapter 228: Shame
"Didn't Your Majesty emphasize that civil and military affairs are different and must not interfere with each other? The minister is a civil minister, naturally obeying the holy decree, it is inconvenient to point fingers at the military, the minister only knows, now the Yulin army is returning from a hard fight, still recuperating, recruits are also recruiting, at this time it is inconvenient to go out of the army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info besides, didn't Your Majesty send Qin Liangyu and Yu Haijun together? Your Majesty's information has not been clarified, so he is angry and rejuvenated, and I am afraid that something will happen. Yang Lian talked eloquently, not taking the emperor's eyes to heart at all.
What he said did surprise Zhu Youxiao, and he hurriedly asked, "Are there any casualties among Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, and what are the casualties among the sailors of the fleet?" Compared with the dead things such as gunboats, talent is the most important, as long as the sailors are there, the fleet can be formed at any time.
Hearing the emperor's question, Luo Sigong and Wei Zhongxian glanced at each other, and finally Wei Zhongxian replied that although Dongchang still had the ability to supervise, he was deprived of the authority to arrest people at will, and could only become a bystander, watching dryly, so the successor Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to strengthen the work of intelligence.
Especially in the country, Jinyiwei only relies on the control of the guards around the country, and today the guards are rotten, and the Jinyiwei is not much better.
"Back to Your Majesty, the spies of the servants were also in the port at that time, and the costumes of the white pole soldiers and the fleet sailors are very different, judging from the approximate estimate of the scene, the white pole soldiers still have five or six thousand, and the casualties should not be large, and the fleet sailors seem to be only about three thousand." Wei Zhongxian frowned and replied, he was obviously recalling the news delivered by the carrier pigeon.
"Three thousand!" This number made Zhu Youxiao silent, and he felt a feeling of dripping blood in his heart. The entire fleet, ten gunboats, two clippers, and thirty Daifuku ships, with a total of no less than 10,000 people, only 3,000 people survived, and this casualty was simply heartbreaking.
These people were all selected by him after collecting the entire Ming Dynasty's sailors, and they had also received training from the first mate of the foreigners, and they had an expedition, which can be described as experienced, and now they died in Ningbo so easily, how could this not make Zhu Youxiao extremely sad, they could have had greater achievements and a bigger stage.
"Three thousand, only three thousand!" Zhu Youxiao muttered, and the whole person sat down in the chair, and the huge loss made him lose even the strength to be angry.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the top priority now is to issue an order to soothe and let General Qin and General Yu be stationed on the spot to repair, and then wait for the opportunity to extinguish the bandits." Yang Lian calmly paid attention.
"yes, now is not the time to regret it." By now, Zhu Youxiao has almost calmed down, after all, people's anger comes and goes quickly, and if someone persuades him, it will be faster to calm down. Besides, he is not an ordinary person now, and after years of experience, his bearing capacity has long come out.
"Spread the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion........ forget it, let's pass on the holy decree." Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to give an order in the name of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, but after thinking about it, it was still inappropriate, at this time, the Dadu Governor's Mansion was not majestic, and the soothing effect was not great, and the holy decree was more effective. It's just that when Zhu Youxiao just wanted to pass on the decree, Wei Zhongxian suddenly spoke.
"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave still has some news here, and Your Majesty is still making a decision after listening to it."
"Oh, what the news, let's hear it." Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Your Majesty ordered the old slave to investigate the collusion between the bandits and the Jiangnan region a few days ago, and there has been some progress at present, but the gaffe is significant, and Your Majesty needs to see it." As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian presented a note and was handed over by Liu Ruoyu.
As a result, Zhu Youxiao looked down, and the first name suddenly made him angry again, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and then there were many officials, local gentry families, and officers of the guards, and the dense list was like a barrel of gasoline, which made Zhu Youxiao angry again.
"Damn, this group of people all deserve to die." Zhu Youxiao was furious, threw down the song, and raised his head suddenly, "Luo Sigong, this time you go in person, find out the matter for me, thoroughly investigate it, everyone, as long as there is evidence to prove that they are indeed involved, they will all be arrested for me, and anyone who dares to stop it will be regarded as the same party and dealt with together." ”
The Son of Heaven was furious and ambushed millions of corpses, and everyone present smelled a smell of blood from Zhu Youxiao's angry words, a case that may be bigger than the Red Pill case when the emperor ascended the throne last year.
"This time, you go in person and bring all the elites of Jinyiwei over, I don't want such a thing to happen again in the future." Zhu Youxiao's voice repeated again coldly, and he pointed to one person on the list, who was the thousand households of the Zhejiang Thousand Households.
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, Weichen will definitely clean the Jinyiwei again, and the minister promises with the head of the Xiangshang that there will never be such a thing in the Jinyiwei in the future." Luo Sigong kowtowed, and soon a blood mark came out.
"Go, you are also a meritorious person, I don't like to see you somewhere else one day." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and said weakly, the corruption of the Ming Empire is really amazing, all the institutions have fallen, but the degree is different, "Go and deal with this matter first, and then Jinyiwei will also change, big change." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Sigong stood up from the ground, and the others immediately saw the blood stains on his face.
"Someone, get him a silk scarf." Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and ordered. After all, he is his own minister, and he can't just stand like this, it's too bad to lose his identity.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Sigong was grateful, and bowed and thanked him.
"Don't just thank you, if you don't handle this matter for me, I will pull out your skin." Zhu Youxiao said angrily.
"Your Majesty, is it ...... to dispatch the Jinyi Guard" Yang Lian suddenly stepped forward to persuade, but his tone was not very firm, he wanted to be out of the queue just now, but the emperor was angry, he couldn't touch this brow, and he also felt that those people in Jiangnan had done it, smuggling was smuggling, and this time he even colluded with the bandit tradition, and even trapped the imperial navy, which was really innocent.
It's just that he really can't see death without help, after all, those people are still the same way, and in today's period when soldiers are gradually rising, there is one more person in his own people. However, after all, he is a righteous person, and he is very hesitant to say such a persuasion against his will, and even Zhu Youxiao heard his reluctance.
"Why, you Yang Lian is such an upright person, and you still want me to let those moths go?" Zhu Youxiao asked, feeling a little disgusted in his heart, and hated the protection of officials and officials the most.
"Minister......." Yang Lian couldn't say any more, and he retreated silently, he also looked down on these people.
"Your Majesty, in addition to this list, there is another news here for the minion." Wei Zhongxian suddenly spoke, he paused, and after seeing that he had successfully attracted the emperor's attention, he continued, "There are three major leaders under the bandit leader Wang Siyuan, one of whom is named Yan Siqi, and one of them strongly advocates the reclamation of the Ryukyu Island, and the bandit leader Wang Siyuan has accepted it, they plundered the southeast this time, and captured many people to that island, and now they have a certain foundation. ”
"Ryukyu? Taiwan! Zhu Youxiao didn't react at first, but when he later mentioned the word Oshima, he realized that Ryukyu was Taiwan's name in this era.
Now there are people who are going to reclaim Taiwan?! Coming to this conclusion, Zhu Youxiao felt very incredible, could it be that this Wang Siyuan is also a traverser? Or is it that this overseas escape, which is different from history, has allowed a time-traveler to come over?
Zhu Youxiao covered his head and thought carefully, the traverser was just a subconscious reaction of him, and he couldn't do it accurately, the real main inducement was still mentioned by Wei Zhongxian, Yan Siqi. He thought about it carefully, the name Yan Siqi was still a little familiar, it seemed that in a certain novel of the late Ming Dynasty that he had read before, there was a protagonist who followed him to Taiwan to cultivate, and finally developed, and used this place as the foundation to compete for hegemony in the world.
Zhu Youxiao is actually right, Yan Siqi is known as the 'king of Taiwan' and 'the first person to open Taiwan' in later history, and he has made indelible contributions to the development of Taiwan, and the last journey of his life was spent in Taiwan. Of course, this is all something that has not happened yet, and Yan Siqi at this time is just a pirate who has a lot of vision and has taken a fancy to Taiwan's superior geographical location.
We can't let them continue to grow. This was his first reaction after thinking clearly, and at the same time, he was also a little remorseful, he had thought before that if he failed to fight for the throne, he would sail to Taiwan. At that time, I also noticed that after becoming the emperor, I forgot where to set up a base?
"Spread my will, ordered Yu Zhigao and Qin Liangyu to be stationed on the spot, repair the army, and at the same time appointed Navy General Yu Zhigao as the commander of the Southeast Theater of Operations, under the jurisdiction of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian, to suppress the rebellion." The emperor said in his mouth, and Liu Ruoyu next to him also worked hard to write down and record it.
Of course, the holy decree cannot be so simple, in addition to determining the official name and terms of reference, it also stipulates that the baggage shall be provided by the three provincial governments, and at the same time, Zhu Youxiao also asked Yu Zhigao not to act blindly, first check the soldiers and horses, and then count and integrate the guards and troops of these provinces. All he had to do now was limit the growth of the bandits.
The holy decree was written slowly, but what Zhu Youxiao really wanted Yu Zhigao to do the most was the one that checked the soldiers and horses of the three provinces, he was going to take Jiangnan this time, so he naturally wanted to control the soldiers and horses, the other party was a waste guard, but it should also be in his hands, that group of wastes could not fight, harassing the people, and looting people's wealth was a good hand.
After the decree was written, Zhu Youxiao looked at it, stamped it with a seal, and it was quickly sent out.
"You guys stand down, I still have something to discuss with Yang Aiqing." After issuing the order, Zhu Youxiao saw that the two intelligence chiefs were still here, so he sent them away, they still have a lot of things to do, what are they doing here.
"Yes, Weichen (old slave) retired." The two saluted, then retreated together and left the main hall.
[Author's digression]: The feast is a head, it's really embarrassing, the information is not checked, there is one in front, I made a mistake about Wanli's father, fortunately, this character didn't have to appear later, so I didn't change it, I just pretended not to know, and now I got a mistake, and it was Wei Guogong who was guarding Nanjing, not Dingguo Gong. Wei Guogong inherited from Xu Da and stayed in Nanjing, to the generation in the book should be Xu Hongji, Dingguo Gong inherited from Xu Da's youngest son Xu Zengshou, has been in Nanjing, the front of Dingguo Gong Xu Xi wrote wrong, embarrassed.
