The Ming Dynasty's right to speak was not in the hands of the emperor himself.

Look at Zhu Youxiao's own father, Emperor Taichang, who reigned for thirty-eight days and did three things:

After the abolition of the mine tax, he ordered the dismissal of mine supervisors and tax officials throughout the country, and stopped any form of mining activities.

After taking the throne, in the name of the emperor's edict, he issued a million taels of silver from the inner treasury to pay the border guards, and sent them to the Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi and the Nine Border Governors to reward the soldiers, and allocated 5,000 taels of silver for the freight, which were used along the way.

The third thing is to fill the vacancy.

First ordered the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Cabinet; Subsequently, He Zongyan and the other four were promoted to the rank of Scholar of the Ministry of Rites and Cabinet Scholars; Ye Xianggao, an old auxiliary minister who had resigned from his official post and returned to the field, agreed to hire all 33 people who had been convicted of "sparseness" and 11 people who had been convicted of mining taxes.

Recall the officials who were dismissed in the Wanli Dynasty because of negligence, such as Yuan Keli, Zou Yuanbiao, Wang Dewan and other Donglin Party officials.

These three things have touted an emperor who has been in power for 38 days as a Ming Jun, and 38 days as Taichang Zhongxing, how shameless are these desperate people to praise?

Look at these three things, the first thing, the abolition of the mining tax, those people must be happy to jump; Taking out two million taels of silver from the inner treasury may not be in the hands of the soldiers, but the officials who handle it happen to be rich, and this windfall is naturally more happy; The last one, if you are promoted, all those who are dismissed will be hired, and you will be so happy that you will fly, don't you praise such an emperor?

Zhu Youxiao knew that he couldn't do this by himself, there was no way, Mingjun's name was not good, so he simply became a faint gentleman.

Isn't he fragrant?

Looking back on history, there were countless eunuch dictatorships throughout the Ming Dynasty: Wang Zhi, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, etc. But no matter how arrogant they were and how they persecuted their opponents, they were very loyal to their master, the emperor.

Of course, the political struggle is very cruel, this is not a matter of eunuchs, not eunuchs, isn't it ruthless? Won't you be a killer?

Overemphasizing the identity of eunuchs is nothing more than trying to say that eunuchs are eunuchs, and they are not worthy, do not attack the policy, and directly play life attacks. In Zhu Youxiao's view, doing this is not only very tasteless, but also very inferior. Anyway, in Zhu Youxiao's view, the things that the Donglin Party did were not noble.

Gently breathing a sigh of relief, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh. At this time, although the Daming country has not yet passed through the scourge of Wei Zhongxian, it is already full of holes.

"I hope Liaodong can be stabilized!" Zhu Youxiao finally set his sights on Liaodong, once Liaodong can't be stabilized, it will be a big trouble, "I hope Xiong Tingbi will be in time." ”

If, as in history, Liaodong continues to follow the old path, first losing Liaoyang, then Shenyang, and finally Guangning, then it will be difficult for Jin to do big. To the east, you can fight North Korea as logistics, and to the west, you can fight Mongolia, subjugate the Mongolian tribes, and at the same time stretch the battle line, how to fight such a long front from the west to the west?

Daming don't talk about attacking, it is very difficult to hold such a long border, so Liaodong cannot be lost.

If Shenyang and Liaoyang were still there, Nurhachi would never dare to march to the west or east, because once he marched to the west or east, his back road would be copied, so Nurhachi could only entangle with the Ming army in Liaodong. Even in history, Shenyang and Liaoyang were lost, and Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, still eyed Liaoyang and Shenyang.

Mao Wenlong has a lot of problems, occupying the Dongjiang River, although the situation is enough to contain Houjin, but his own strategy is limited, the annual waste of military pay can not be calculated, and only care about recruiting merchants, selling forbidden goods, nominally aiding North Korea, in fact, in vain out of the border fortress, when there is no military, he sells ginseng and cloth as a ministry, there is a war, and he rarely gets his function.

Zhu Youxiao understands this very well, because Mao Wenlong is not easy, in that place on Phi Island, the production is limited, where can he get the money to support the army if he doesn't do some business?

As for Mao Wenlong's military salary, tens of thousands of troops want 200,000 military salaries, this is Mao Wenlong's problem? The military salaries of 10,000 people were given, and in the end, it would be good to have tens of thousands of people left in Mao Wenlong's hands, and even tens of thousands of military salaries were left. The silver was allocated from the household department, and before it left the capital, it was gone, and it was lost, which was drifting.

Walk all the way, peel all the way, how much can you leave in Liaodong? This pot was given to Mao Wenlong, who took the money? Anyway, the money was embezzled by Mao Wenlong.

There was a story in later generations that the bank was robbed, and the robbers robbed 3 million, but when it came time to report the loss, it was 300 million, all of which were done by the robbers. The robbers want to cry without tears, and so does Mao Wenlong, not to mention Mao Wenlong, how is Qi Jiguang? Zhang Juzheng supports Qi Jiguang, but corruption still can't be organized, and Qi Jiguang's tens of thousands of people are also 200,000 yuan to get money.

This kind of thing is not too normal in the late Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people have lost and lost, in fact, there are really so many people? And that's not even counting empty salaries and shortages.

Zhu Youxiao sighed lightly, if Liaoyang and Shenyang are not lost, then he will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, of course, Phi Dao still has to be done. At that time, the army can take a boat up the Yalu River and directly attack the hinterland and rear of Houjin, so that they dare not go all out if they want to fight Shenyang and Liaoyang. It's just that this leader has to choose a good choice.

If Liaodong can't be stabilized, then he can only find another way, but Zhu Youxiao will definitely not waver between war and defense, and Zhu Youxiao is also more inclined to defend, and he will be able to do something good when he holds it for ten or eight years.

Reaching out to pick up the book on the table and looking through it for a while, Zhu Youxiao found that he still couldn't read it, and his mind was all on Liaodong.

Zhu Youxiao is now thinking about how to do something and pin all his hopes on Xiong Tingbi, but what if it's too late? Can you do something about it?

It's just that now that he's in the capital, he can't think of any good way to think about it.

Sending troops in the past is definitely not possible, and it is not a simple matter to transfer troops in this era, it requires money and food, and it needs to be arranged, and it is far from quenching the thirst of the near.

Send some money over? It doesn't seem to be suitable, it takes time to transport it, and when the money is shipped over, the daylilies are cold.

Do you want to send a few more talented people over? But where to find someone all the time? The situation in Liaodong is very complicated, and it is not necessarily a good thing to go to a newcomer.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao didn't think of a suitable candidate, and in the end he could only sigh gloomily, even if he was a faint gentleman, he had a sense of powerlessness.
