"Your Majesty, there is the Civil Fort."

Xuanzi lowered his eyebrows and rode a big red horse, followed Zhu Youxiao's side, quietly lagged one step behind, and reported.

The biggest reason why he asked to follow His Majesty to the Great Northwest of the Empire this time, in addition to directing the work of the Northwest Branch of the Royal CIA, which is more convenient and fast, is to fulfill the promise he once made.

In his short life of more than ten years, what made him suffer a lot was undoubtedly the experience of buying flower hoes in the shop of Jin Shang in Beijing in July last year.

He is not a generous person, and he even has some chicken belly, and he remembers the biggest insult in his life.

Xuanzi had already sworn that one day, he would wash away his shame and make the dog-eyed Jin merchant pay the price of blood.

It's a pity that in August last year, when the emperor was bloodbathing the capital, he didn't find the Jin merchant who insulted him.

Later, after assuming the position of Royal CIA Director of the Scales Country, he gave the order to die, and after some investigation, the intelligence agency personnel finally found the trace of the Jin merchant buddy.

That guy, because of his good performance last year, was transferred to Zhangjiakou in the northwest by the Fan family to become a shopkeeper.

After Xuanzi learned about it, because he didn't dare to use it for public and private purposes, he sent someone to arrest and retaliate against that guy, and he has always remembered this matter.

Now it's okay, after the emperor returned to Beijing for the New Year, he had just passed the Lantern Festival, and immediately ordered the boy guards to go to Xuanfu and Shanxi!

This great news made Xuanzi happy, and immediately went to see the emperor, and understood several reasons, so he was able to follow the emperor to conquer the Xuanfu in person.

This is also Zhu Youxiao, seeing this guy, he handed over everything to his subordinates to do, but he didn't delay anything, everything was handled very appropriately and appropriately, and it can be regarded as a high level of hard work.

In addition, he was also very idle in the capital, so he simply agreed to follow him to the Great Northwest.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Zhangjiakou, the joy of getting revenge filled Xuanzi's heart, making him tremble a little with excitement.

On this expedition, he was more active than ever.

The Royal CIA had 100,000 personnel, and he urgently gathered nearly 20,000 people and came to Xuanfu and Shanxi.

Those intelligence bureau personnel had already set out first, earlier and faster than the scouts of the Boy Guard.

In addition, the original CIA, in the great northwest of the empire, has laid a lot of open posts and secret posts.

Today, the entire Great Northwest has fallen under the overall surveillance of the Ming Imperial CIA

Yes, every move of this Xuanfu is basically not hidden from Xuanzi's eyes now.

Now it is only a passing since the soldiers left the town and the border city, with the cooperation of the CIA and the scout brigade, Zhu Youxiao is like a tourist, and he can easily take down the right guard of Yanqing and Yulinbao in one fell swoop.

He estimated it well, over the years, the borders of the entire Ming Empire, all the military towns and guards, have been completely abandoned.

Seeing that as soon as the army of the imperial court arrived, the soldiers of the new army had not even set up their cannons, and the soldiers and generals in these two places had already collapsed without a fight, kneeling on the ground and asking for surrender.

Zhu Youxiao took control of the previous two military towns without much effort.

Yes, almost all of the time spent is on cleaning up, screening prisoners, and dealing with those who have committed the most heinous crimes, raiding their homes and exterminating their families.

At present, behind Zhu Youxiao's road, nearly 200,000 Rao construction workers and 5,000 Rao labor reform teams have gathered, and they are advancing almost simultaneously with the army.

Under the command of hundreds of craftsmen, they began to build super official roads and large farms along the way according to the Shunfu model.

There is a reason why Zhu Youxiao did this, he was afraid that the big news of the arrival of the imperial army in the northwest would be leaked, so that the enemy would not flee in a hurry.

Therefore, it is necessary to gather all the people along the road and let them join the Northwest Branch of the Royal Construction Company and work for the Crown.

One is for the stability of this area that has just been brought under the control of the empire, and at the same time to help the people at the bottom with cash-for-work.

The second is to maintain absolute confidentiality and prevent information leakage.

Working for the royal family, three meals a day, working hard to complete the task, and a minimum salary of 500 wen per month?

This kind of incredible imperial court policy is simply a relief for the people of the Great Northwest who have eaten a meal but have not eaten a meal and will soon collapse completely.

After everyone enthusiastically registered, they happily joined the royal construction company and began to work hard.

Because Xuanzi had transferred several masters who were familiar with the construction business of Daguandao and Daguan Farm from Shunfu in advance, they came over to take charge of the command.

Therefore, the implementation of these two basic national policies has been carried out very smoothly from the very beginning.

For the first time, the large-scale construction of the whole people's labor has appeared in the great northwest.

Zhu Youxiao decided that at least before he took full control of the entire great northwest, he wanted to exercise comprehensive military control over the entire great northwest and adopt the strategy of entering and leaving the entire northwest.

……

"Is it there?"

Hearing Xuanzi's report, Zhu Youxiao suddenly perked up, urging the snow-stepping god Ju Bai to step forward quickly.

"This is the once famous civil fort?"

He stood on top of a dirt slope, looking at the military fort in front of him on the hilly heights, and was a little stunned for a while.

Now, this military fort in a difficult terrain has been surrounded by the soldiers of the Guards Scouts, and the artillery battalion detachment is erecting cannons to force the soldiers in the civil fort to surrender.

If you don't surrender, you will definitely launch an artillery bombardment and take the city in one fell swoop.

Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, he knew that this military fort, which was full of historical tragedies, could not stop a wave of attacks from the soldiers of the Guards, and he would be defeated and fled.

It's just that now he has a lot of feelings about the civil fort on the high ground in front of him.

This civil fort, during the reign of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, became the culprit who made the Ming Empire from prosperity to decline.

Is Ming Yingzong a faint monarch?

Obviously not, he is still a rare good emperor who is both civil and military.

The great eunuch Wang Zhen, did he want to kill the emperor?

It's absolutely impossible.

Because everything he did was obtained by relying on Ming Yingzong.

Ming Yingzong trusted him incomparably, and even handed over the military power to him.

In this way, the killing of more than 200,000 soldiers of Ming Yingzong and the Ming Empire will not do Wang Zhenlai any benefit, but will make him die without a place to be buried.

The changes in the Tumubao recorded by later generations are obviously a distortion of the real historical facts, and the falsified history fabricated by the later Ming Dynasty ministers is just a whitewash for the so-called "pillars of talent" scholars.

Before the Tumubao Change, how strong was the Ming Empire?

At least around the Ming Empire at that time, no enemy could match it

It was because of the battle of Tumubao that the Mongol Great Khan and many ministers of the Ming Empire joined forces to kill more than 200,000 elite soldiers and strong generals of the Ming Empire in one fell swoop, and captured Ming Yingzong.

And the irony is that the more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Empire have just died, Ming Yingzong has just been captured, and the Mongolian Great Khan, who has occupied the absolute initiative, actually withdrew immediately?

Among them, it is absolutely impossible to do without huge intrigues and cats.

After this dramatic war, almost all the elite soldiers in the Ming Empire at that time died in one fell swoop, and only then did the later emperor fall into power, the civil officials were in power, and the civil and military forces were composed of a pathological model.

After that, the once powerful Ming Empire immediately turned from prosperity to decline, and it didn't take many years before it died.

This is because those Wenchen families, known as the "pillars of talent", killed almost all the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Ming Empire at that time in one fell swoop, and then took power and completely played the Ming Empire badly and talked about the consequences.

And this consequence is almost entirely caused by the generations of civil servants of the Ming Empire who have been in power after Ming Yingzong.

The imperial power fell, and after the change of Tumubao, the emperor basically became the puppet of those civil servants.

They are vying for power, all in order to make money, to make a lot of money.

After removing the sword of life and death that hung on the heads of many ministers and would fall at any time, they recklessly lived a life of drunken dreams and death, and as a result, they easily collapsed the Ming Empire!

Therefore, in history, Emperor Chongzhen shouted before his death: "The ministers have misled the country!" The following ministers can be killed! ”

This sentence is actually very profound.

This is also how he cried to the top before he died, how unfair he was to the Ming Empire!

Why is the Ming Empire, the whole country raising soldiers, and all the thieves and traitors?

Those who are about to die are also good in their words.

It's just that this sentence has been distorted by the so-called bricks and beasts in later generations.
