Capital

Qianqing Palace

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the Qi family army and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry under your command are still gratifying to kill, successfully recovering Liaoyang, and obtaining 100,000 war points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the Dragon Teng Army under your command killed the Tartar Great Khan, annihilated a tribe of the Tartars, and obtained 80,000 war points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the Right Route Army under your command successfully landed in Incheon, successfully recovered Incheon, and obtained 50,000 war points."

Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty was enjoying the classical massage of Yue Nu Aqing in the Qianqing Palace, when suddenly the prompt sound of the system sounded in his mind.

This kind of voice has not appeared for a long time, and the sudden appearance today made Zhu Youzhen very happy, and he jumped up from the bed excitedly.

Shocked Ah Qing:

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

Zhu Youzhen also felt that he was a little out of shape, scratching his head a little embarrassed, and then reached out to hold Ah Qing's delicate chin.

Although he has been following Zhu Youzhen, today it is the first time for Zhu Youzhen to make this kind of action, A Qingqiao's face can't help but blush, and she whispers shyly:

"Lord ......"

A Qing's shy appearance made Zhu Youzhen's heart ripple, and he gently scratched A Qing's firm little nose and smiled:

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll let you see a secret."

Zhu Youzhen said, his right hand suddenly drew a circle in the air, and then a translucent map appeared in front of Ah Qing's eyes.

Ah Qing was also summoned by the system, although she was not very shocked, but she was full of curiosity about it, she reached out and touched the translucent map, and she didn't feel anything.

"Lord, is this a sub-map, it's really amazing."

"Haha, isn't it magical, compared to you, he's not magical, look here......"

Zhu Youzhen pointed to the red area above with his hand:

"This is Mengyuan, which has now been controlled by the Eastern Exile, and here is the entire Liaodong, and this is North Korea, which is currently under the control of the Eastern Exile, and this green area is the royal land under our feet."

Ah Qing stared at those big beautiful eyes and looked at the smart map carefully:

"My lord, from here, the Eastern Capture currently controls almost half of my territory in Huaxia, which is not much smaller than the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen nodded, looking at the smart map:

"You see, the area they occupy now extends from the Wa Sea in the east, Sakhalin Island in the north, Qinghai in the west, Lake Baikal in the northwest, and along the Great Wall in the south, and the total area is not much different from that of my Ming Dynasty.

In the past, foreign races entered the customs just to rob, and they did not have any grand ambitions, but the Eastern Exile was different, their purpose was to enter the Central Plains and steal our Ming Dynasty.

The wolf in the eastern captivity is very ambitious, and if I am not careful, it is very likely that I will fall into a catastrophe.

Even if they don't enter the customs for the time being, I can't let it grow bigger, and I can't let him snore and sleep next to the couch. ”

Ah Qing didn't know anything about politics, and felt that Zhu Youzhen seemed to be talking about heavenly books, she pointed to the green in a large red area and asked:

"Lord, what's going on, is it possible that my Ming still has territory in the Eastern Captivity?"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head:

"It's not in the territory of the Eastern Exile, it itself is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, including all the territories of the current Eastern Exile, and the Eastern Capture is just a minority of my Ming Dynasty.

The green dot in the red is the area where our Ming army is currently located, which shows that Qi Jiguang, Yue Fei and Li Dingguo's army have broken through these places. ”

Ah Qing nodded and stopped talking, she felt that those red areas would soon turn green, and all of them would be included in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen stared at the smart map for a while, and was very satisfied with the smart map.

If there is an urgent military situation, it is difficult for the fast horse to reach the Jingshi in a short time, and after having a smart map, as long as they break through a city, the map there will change color.

Now not a single carrier pigeon has arrived, indicating that the response of the smart map is far from being comparable to that of carrier pigeons.

"Someone is coming, Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Transmission, will see me."

"Obey"

The little eunuch standing outside the room agreed, and immediately went to pass Sun Chengzong to see him.

There was not much time, and Sun Chengzong walked into the imperial study.

"Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, see the emperor."

"Excuse me, sit down"

"Long live Emperor Xie Wu."

Zhu Youzhen did a lot of things in the imperial study, and it was not so formal here, Zhu Youzhen would give him a seat, and the officials would be open.

Sun Chengzong sat on the chair with half his buttocks, hugged his fist at Zhu Youzhen and asked:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what your purpose is to suddenly summon the old minister?"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and asked:

"Li Yan, how are they now?"

Back to the emperor, Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan were in Gansu and had recovered most of the lost territory, and the number of surrendered troops under his command was now about 300,000. ”

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard it:

"Okay, immediately send an edict and let Yan Yingyuan lead an army of 150,000 into Mengyuan and Liaodong, and take over the cities captured by the Ming army in batches.

In addition, people were sent to send surplus cattle, sheep, horses, and captured women and children back to the pass, and the people were very short of cattle. ”

"Obey ......"

Sun Chengzong hesitated, but still asked:

"But Your Majesty, it's normal for cattle, sheep and horses to come back, what do you want those women and children to do?"

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of helplessness:

"I also want to kill them, but this is not in line with the demeanor of a great country, and will be criticized by future generations and other countries.

And those young children are more easily assimilated, and when the time comes, they are separated, and the good-looking women are sent to Yichun Building, and the ordinary-looking women are sent to the farm to work as coolies.

Of course, it can also be distributed to soldiers who have made major military achievements, and Daming will not be short of money soon, what we lack is people, and it is labor. ”

As soon as Sun Chengzong heard the emperor's arrangement, he immediately got up and bowed deeply:

"Emperor Shengming, this is the most reasonable arrangement, and the old minister will obey the order."

As soon as Sun Chengzong left, the little eunuch came in and said:

"Your Majesty, Li Banghua, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, ask to see you."

Zhu Youzhen had a wicked smile on his face at that time:

"Oh, these people actually know that they must have encountered some problems when they take the initiative to ask for a meeting, so they must have encountered some problems, so they will be sent to see them."

The land reform and the collection of commercial taxes in the Ming Dynasty were extremely difficult problems and there was nothing to learn from.

Zhu Youzhen threw all these things to the cabinet and the household department, he knew a lot of things, and these old ministers didn't dare to make decisions easily, and it was difficult enough for them.

For some old stubborns, Zhu Youzhen is deliberately making things difficult for them, just to let them experience what it is like to be troubled.

"Tell them to see me."

"Obedience"

The little eunuch took the order and bent down to exit the room.

Soon Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu walked into the imperial study, and saw Zhu Youzhen sitting on the dragon chair with a golden knife, and they hurriedly stepped forward to meet:

"Li Banghua, the first assistant of the cabinet, see the emperor."

"Tobe Shangshu; Ni Yuanlu sees the emperor"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand:

"The two Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, come and sit down."

"Thank you, long live my emperor, long live."

Before Li Banghua sat down, he hurriedly handed a stack of folds to Zhu Youzhen.

"Your Majesty, you can take a look at it for yourself, these princes directly threatened the cabinet."
