Chapter 88: The Reward (Part II)

Zhu Yunwen, who is about to become a father, is naturally in an excellent mood.

This is directly reflected in the second day, after Xu Huizu brought several soldiers who had made great contributions to enter the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhu Yunwen awarded the reward.

Xu Huizu, as the supreme commander of the Southwest Campaign, although he was no longer rewarded, Zhu Yunwen still added the title of Doctor of Special Jin Guanglu to him.

His future military exploits have nothing to do with Xu Huizu, his task is to help Zhu Yunwen stabilize the Five Military Mansions, and after his death, he will naturally be posthumously awarded a king with a different surname like his father.

Ma Dajun, who cut off Hu Jili's head, was awarded Dingnanbo, and Liu Zheng, who was guarding Xianzi Pass, was awarded Zhongyibo.

In fact, the titles of the Ming Dynasty are mostly prefixed with place names.

For example, Xu Da, the founder of Zhongshan, was the Duke of Wei and had a fief.

Song Sheng is the Marquis of Xining, and one of the Yulu is the tax of Xining County, Qiwei, Guanxi, and Yang Wen is the Marquis of Hanshan, and his ancestral home is Hanshan County.

A title like this can be passed on to future generations and passed on from generation to generation, the so-called prince Wandai.

And those like Ma Dajun and Liu Zheng who do not have the prefix of place names are called Liujue, and they end up in one generation, and their descendants cannot inherit it.

Zhu Yunwen even cut down the vassal state, and his own clan relatives did not give him the opportunity to take money from this country on behalf of him, and the martial arts of the Five Military Mansions would not be able to let future generations enjoy the state as soon as they were born.

Of course, it is impossible for them to know that Zhu Yunwen has the idea of cutting the knight now.

Although it was a liujue, Zhu Yunwen added a lot of money and rewards, which were basically thousands of gold, that is, 10,000 taels of silver.

This is enough for them to be small landlords for a lifetime and enjoy happiness.

"The mountain army needs to be rebuilt, and it needs to be expanded in size."

Zhu Yunwen personally gave a military order to the new deputy commander of the mountain army, Ma Dajun, "I will add you another position as deputy commander-in-chief of Yunnan, and give me good training, and strive to train the soldiers in Yunnan as well, so that they can get used to mountain warfare." There will be a war in the southwest soon, and when the time comes, I will see the results. ”

Ma Dajun knelt at Zhu Yunwen's feet.

"The last general will serve His Majesty the Emperor to the death."

Mu Ying and Mu Chun are both famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, but Mu Sheng is not, since his ability is not enough, he should abdicate and make way for Xian, sooner or later, these second generations of martial artists who can't keep up with the times should be eliminated.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the group of martial arts second generations around him, and the happiness in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and when he returned to the palace with a full stomach, he found that the three pavilions were all blocked at the noon gate.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Yunwen came down from the palace, and his face was ugly and ruthless. He found that he had not seen anything since the hot day, and he didn't know why.

"North Korean coup!"

Storm Zhao handed over a notebook, "King Li Fangguo's brother Li Fangyuan staged a coup d'Γ©tat, took control of power, and forced Li Fangguo to give up the throne, Li Fangguo sent an envoy to Liaodong to deliver a report, hoping that we would help him eradicate Li Fangyuan." ”

None of these subjects are honest!

Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he tore the notebook to shreds, "Fuck it, Lao Tzu doesn't have that idleness." ”

Emperor, what's wrong?

The three pavilions looked at each other, didn't they still leave the palace this morning, and rewarded the military generals who played well?

"Your Majesty, North Korea can't be messed up."

Liaodong initial survey for more than ten years, arrived at the Xing'an Mountains and Tatar adjacent, the border trade is in full swing, coupled with the existence of the Liaodong Weaving Bureau, there are countless ships coming and going on the Bohai Sea, that Li Fangguo is an honest man, he is in North Korea, every year is very obedient, who knows what Li Fangyuan is, if he is an ambitious master, Liaodong will be chaotic.

"What does the cabinet think?"

Taking two deep breaths to suppress the fire in his heart, Zhu Yunwen asked as he walked.

"Didn't the soldiers of the Beijing camp change their guards with Liaodong?"

Tyrant Zhao carefully suggested, "Let the chief military officer of Liaodong take him to Korea for a circle, and tell Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, and Beiping to command Sheng Yong to strengthen the defense of Tatar and ensure the security of Liaodong." ”

It is also a good thing to let the new army practice their hands and see blood.

"Inform King Yan to enter the palace."

Troubled is upset, in the end, it is state affairs that are important, although Zhu Yunwen just wants to go fishing and listen to music now, but what Tyrant Zhao said makes sense, North Korea can't be chaotic.

"It just so happens that the three pavilion elders are here, so I have something to discuss with you here."

Waiting for Zhu Di's moment, Zhu Yunwen didn't plan to be idle, so he shifted his mind to state affairs.

"I plan to add 10 million taels of silver to the budget of the Ministry of Industry in the second half of the year."

10,000,000 taels of silver!

Sange's face changed color in unison.

The annual tax cash of the Ming Dynasty is a small head, and after deducting a part of the military expenses and money that have to be used in cash, it is impossible to have that much cash left.

Zhu Yunwen meant that he wanted to use the savings of the state treasury.

In the 31st year of Hongwu's reign, he left tens of millions of taels of money in the state treasury, but the state finances were still best not to run a deficit.

If you use the silver deposit at every turn, what is the difference between it and eating grain?

"What does Your Majesty intend to do?"

The emperor's family foundation is also very thick, okay, some time ago, you sold the imperial property, more than 50 million taels, why don't you say take it out and spend it?

"The Firearms Bureau in the General Staff Office allocated three million taels, and the rest was given to the Longjiang Shipyard to build more warships."

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, the Ministry of Industry Yu Heng Division Ordnance Bureau has less than 500,000 taels of scientific research funds a year, which is enough money to study a fart, and now the Ordnance Bureau has been split and merged with the War Bureau, and the Firearms Bureau is Zhu Yunwen's heart, there is not enough scientific research fund, which year and month can we see the change of dynasty of the musket?

As for the Longjiang Shipyard supervising the construction of warships, that is to prepare for the opening of the sea ban next year.

The bandits in Southeast Asia and the pirates in the East China Sea must be suppressed.

Thousands of miles of vast oceans, eight hundred warships are simply not enough.

"Ten million taels, will it be too much?"

Yu Xin is in charge of the household department, and he is clear about the affairs of the state finance.

"Do you want to wait for the end of the year, when the country's revenue and expenditure statistics are being drawn up?"

How can Zhu Yunwen have the leisure to talk nonsense with them, and the silver can't be put in the treasury, this group of civil officials is like this, they feel that the boxes where the silver is rotten, and the grain in the official warehouses of the provinces is moldy.

If you don't invest, how can you get a return?

"I am determined to do this, don't say much about this matter."

Zhu Yunwen had a face, and the three pavilions didn't dare to persuade more, and it wasn't a big deal, so let the emperor play it by his temperament.

In the next few years, it is a big deal to open a few fewer tributaries and build a few fewer roads, which can always save this 10 million taels.

Sange was still counting in his heart, and Zhu Di had already hurriedly walked in.

"See my emperor's holy bow, Your Majesty is urgently summoned, but where is the military situation repeated?"

He is the chief of the general staff, and the emperor can find him, eighty percent of it is a frontier matter.

Zhu Yunwen sighed, "North Korea is making trouble again, Li Fangyuan launched a coup d'Γ©tat and forced his eldest brother Li Fangguo to give in, and now Li Fangguo has asked me to come here, hoping that our Ming Dynasty can send troops over to help him eradicate Li Fangyuan."

The opinion of the cabinet is that Liaodong cannot be chaotic, Li Fangguo, the king, is honest and duty, he is in North Korea, which is good for my Ming Dynasty, and I want to let Ping An lead troops to North Korea to stabilize the situation. ”

Zhu Di is happy, what kind of big deal is it.

The nine-sided war, Zhu Di is most familiar with it in his heart, and said confidently at the moment.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, North Korea is no better than Annam, there are no dangerous mountains and dense forests, with the elite of my royal division, the pacification of North Korea is only in the palm of the hand, Liaodong has changed its defense before, where do the 50,000 new troops need to be fully mobilized, let Ping An bring 20,000 people, and then recruit three Jurchens is enough to pacify North Korea."

Three Jurchens?

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, "There are Jurchens in Liaodong now?" Which three? Is it left over from the former gold? ”

Zhu Di explained, "No, the remnants of the former Jin Dynasty were basically slaughtered by the reverse Yuan back then, these three were taken refuge in a few years ago and moved to Liaodong, they are the Haixi Jurchen, the Savage Jurchen, and the Jianzhou Jurchen, who fought bravely and were not afraid of death."

When the minister fought with the reverse Yuan, he was recruited several times, and he was loyal to my Ming Dynasty, and the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens was called Mengge Timur, and he was not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, he wanted to worship the minister as his father-in-law, and let the minister give him the surname Han. ”

Zhu Di's words Zhu Yunwen couldn't listen to them anymore, and there were four words left in his mind.

Jianzhou Jurchen!
