Chapter 32: There Are No Impermeable Walls
"Your Majesty, there are secret reports from all over the country."
In the compound where the boy scouts were, Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly strode in and said a little anxiously.
"Oh."
Zhu Youxiao was building a pair of gun carriages on the ground, frowned slightly when he heard this, got up, washed his hands, and then sat on the big wooden chair next to him, and took the secret letter that had been opened with one hand.
After a while, he raised his head, looked at Xiao Xuanzi and said, "Hehe, whatever they can do, the higher they jump, the more cool it is estimated to fall." ”
"Your Majesty, the situation of the great changes in the capital has spread."
Xiao Xuanzi was very worried, "There are too many dignitaries, local tyrants and inferior gentry, and they have begun to gather intensively and connected in series." ”
"I reckon they'll be in touch with some of the royal palaces soon, and more than one force."
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he was noncommittal.
After a pause, he said, "This is expected, those large and medium-sized families with rich backgrounds, their spokesmen and many direct officials, have been killed by us, and they are like thunder, which is understandable." ”
"I have long expected this situation, and I estimate that these chaotic ministers and thieves will be divided into several investments to support more than one prince to ascend the throne and become emperor!"
"Ahh
Xiao Xuanzi was stunned.
Although he was in charge of the collection of intelligence throughout the country, he also noticed that almost all regions outside the Northern Zhili were now experiencing a lot of changes.
Especially in the Jiangnan area, various large and medium-sized families have sent many personnel to connect in series and closely visit friends.
And the big and small officials of Nanzhili are also jumping up and down in all directions.
It was as if at the same time, all of these places got the news, and it is not known how they made secret contact.
And the emperor actually affirmed their next move, which is really shocking.
"Xiao Xuanzi, are you thinking about how these officials and big and small families, who are so far apart, learned the news of the great changes in the capital almost at the same time?"
Zhu Youxiao sneered, "In the Ming Dynasty, there are not only many post stations, but also all kinds of caravans, and the most important ones are large and medium-sized families, which have eyeliner everywhere, and there are not a few birds such as carrier pigeons. ”
"In the Ming Empire, the water is still very deep."
"Huh"
Zhu Youxiao smiled disdainfully, "Don't worry about it so much, let's just do our own thing!" ”
"No matter what they do, it won't affect us anything, anyway, the territory of the Ming Empire is so big. By the time these rebels really launch, it will take at least three or five months. ”
If you want to rebel, it is not so simple, the transportation in this era is too poor, and without three or five months, all the preparations required for the rebellion cannot be completed at all.
Even the transmission of information from the south to the north takes at least a month or two.
In war, in general siege warfare, some fortified cities can hold on for a year and a half before the battle ends.
The rebellion of the rebels requires a lot of time to prepare, which is Zhu Youxiao's greatest confidence.
"Besides, I'm not prepared to follow the enemy's steps."
Zhu Youxiao's face was as usual, and he said: "Now and in the future, the only way to deal with it is to build a super official road, where the big farm is built, and where it is our territory." ”
"We don't have to care about what the enemy is doing or thinking, we have our own set."
"You just need to follow the super official road that is moving forward one by one, and push it all the way through, it's very simple."
Zhu Youxiao has not been in vain these days.
He thought of many ways to deal with the counterattack of the enemy on all sides, and in the end, he found that it was useless, and he was simply worrying about it.
Their own advantage is to have absolute force and a strong army, where do they care what the enemy is doing?
Not at all!
Just crush your enemies along the way.
The army marched steadily along the super official road, and when it conquered a place, it cleared a place and controlled a place.
This is how you cope!
"In terms of time, it's still too late."
Zhu Youxiao calculated in his heart, "After a month, I will lead the army to Shanhaiguan to deal with the affairs inside and outside the customs, which will take about two or three months." ”
"When I return to Beijing, I will be able to deal with the counterattack of those traitors."
"Xiao Xuanzi, you continue to bring in homeless people and artisans from all over the country from outside the North Zhili, don't be affected by some unnecessary influences, we just do our own thing."
explained to Xiao Xuanzi for a while, and then sent him away.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youxiao ordered someone to announce that the little noble son entered the palace to meet him.
After telling Xiao Guizi about the news he had just gotten, he asked him to speed up the collection of various intelligence outside the pass, in order to prepare for the departure of the army in a month.
He also summoned Yan Yingyuan and ordered him to hoard grain and grass along the super official road and among the newly built army forts for the army to go on the expedition.
In fact, don't take much grain and grass with you on the expedition.
Lu Jiude led 100,000 brave guards and soldiers to support the royal construction company all the way, and all the cities, guards, and towns he encountered along the way, basically, he carried out a sweep of all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in them.
These days, Lu Jiude doesn't know how much money and food he has harvested.
Most of the gold and silver treasures he sent back to the capital for storage, and most of the grain and grass were hoarded in situ in the newly built fortresses along the way, one every thirty miles, so as to facilitate the consumption of the road-building army and ease the grain transportation work in the capital.
Therefore, in terms of grain and grass, there is no need for Yan Yingyuan to mobilize much, and Zhu Youxiao is also just to prevent accidents, for fear that the army will not have enough grain and grass to go out.
"Your Majesty, are you going to war?"
Li Dingguo walked in, he was just playing with T34 outside the door, and he knew that something big was happening.
"Little one, you don't have to worry."
Zhu Youxiao rubbed this guy's head with his big hand, "It's going to be a war." ”
"You are also going to usher in actual combat training, so let everyone use more snacks, on the battlefield, the training in peacetime is completely different."
"Also, you have to select a logistics brigade of 5,000 people among those who have been eliminated, and you must also form a medical team among the medical staff who have just been established, so that if someone is injured and cannot be treated."
"Well, I'll do it right away."
Li Dingguo looked serious, nodded his head heavily, and strode away with a solemn expression.
Don't look at his young age, not only is he young and old, but his force value is also good, and now he can fight with Hao Shaoqi for a few rounds.
At a young age, he was able to manage a 30,000-strong Scout Army in an orderly manner.
This kind of genius-like character, Zhu Youxiao has seen it for the first time in his past and present lives.
When the little guy left, Zhu Youxiao got up and walked to the window, pushed open the wooden window, and looked at the distant scenery with a far-reaching gaze.
