215 Royal Driving Expedition (35,000 plus more for recommended votes)
Emperor Chongzhen faced the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and said with a serious expression: "I have decided to lead the three major battalions to conquer in person, quell the rebellion of the thieves in one fell swoop, and restore peace to the people of the world!" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he was immediately shocked by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: What, the emperor actually wants to drive the royal expedition in person? The Ming Dynasty has been around for hundreds of years, and few emperors have ever had a personal conquest!
"Your Majesty, no, the body of the Son of Heaven cannot stand under the wall!" When Zuo Du Yushi heard this, he hurriedly came out first to admonish.
Now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is being restructured, he doesn't want the emperor to run away.
Other officials also wanted to follow up, but Emperor Chongzhen immediately took the lead and said loudly: "The thieves have returned, and the people of the Central Plains are in dire straits. How many years have passed, but can the people of the world have a stable day? In the past, the construction was rampant, and many people's families were destroyed. At that time, I had already said that he would one day be the royal commander and protect my people. Do you think I'm just talking? ”
"Taizu won the world, and he was originally beaten. As a descendant of Taizu, how can I be afraid of going to war? Instead of staying in the Forbidden City and sitting and watching the smoke rise, it is better to pull out the three-foot Qingfeng, lead the Ming Iron Cavalry, and kill a peace for my people. Emperor Chongzhen looked at the ministers and shouted categorically, "Taizu has fallen into a dream, and it has been stated that only iron and blood are the charm of the world!" I have made up my mind, and this matter is decided! ”
At this time, Da Ming was actually really stormy.
The thieves who started from the northwest jumped into Shanxi and Henan, poisoned the Central Plains, and even conquered Fengyang, the central capital, and dug the imperial tomb. Of all the provinces in the world, there are few provinces that can be stable.
The ethnic minority turmoil in the northwest began in the year of the Apocalypse, and the Lu'an Rebellion lasted for 17 years, affecting the whole province of Guizhou and Sichuan. The governors of the two places died in the war, and the provincial capitals Guiyang and Chengdu were trapped for a long time, which restrained the troops of the five southwestern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the people were killed and wounded innumerably, and countless money and grain were consumed.
Although the Rebellion of Lu'an has been suppressed, Da Ming has also paid a huge price. As a result, the An clan can only continue to rule Shuixi. Because, Daming really can't afford to fight. If the Ming Dynasty has the strength, it will definitely take advantage of the situation to change the land and return to the stream, and can only change the Yongning area controlled by the Hao clan first.
When the Lu'an Rebellion had not yet been assessed, the Shapu Rebellion broke out in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, which was also a Tusi rebellion. This Shapu Rebellion was not pacified until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the Southern Ming Dynasty that Li Dingguo led the army of the Great Western Army to pacify it, but the final remnants were wiped out, and it lasted for a total of thirty-five years when Wu Sangui was crowned king of Yunnan by the Manchu Dynasty.
And the biggest rebel force influencing the Ming Dynasty was naturally the Jianyu of Liaodong. Not only occupies the entire Liaodong, but even enters the customs from time to time to wreak havoc, it is really like a toilet, you can come and go as you want. Moreover, at this time, the whole of Mongolia, from east to west, and even the more powerful forces of Mongolia such as Gushi Khan in the distant Tianshan region, had already taken refuge in Jianguo and served Jianguo as the mainstay.
This is not to mention the Zheng Zhilong Group on the southeast coast of Daming, after all, this group still belongs to Daming in name, and it did not take the opportunity to cause chaos, but just took the opportunity to make a fortune.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty, in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, was everywhere, and the wind and rain were ethereal, which was really not too descriptive at all.
At this time, if a certain courtier is relied on to quell these rebellions, then the merit will be high, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape. No matter whether it is a civilian official or a military general, it is estimated that it will not end well. But what if the emperor himself put down these rebellions? Then its prestige will directly catch up with Taizu Chengzu and dominate the world, no one will be unconvinced!
From this point of view, even if there is no wiretapping system, the golden finger requires him to go to the front line of the battlefield, Emperor Chongzhen can go to the battlefield to pacify the flames everywhere, which is the best choice.
Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's categorical announcement, the hall couldn't help but be quiet for a while.
If there was no victory in the Battle of Tianjin, and there was no deterrence of raiding two rebellions, perhaps as soon as he finished speaking, some courtiers would continue to oppose it. However, at this time, no one spoke. Because of the majesty of Emperor Chongzhen, they have already been taught.
After a long while, the first assistant Xue Guoguan bowed down and said, "If Your Majesty is no longer in Beijing, how will state affairs be handled?" ”
He was also caught off guard by Emperor Chongzhen's sudden request to drive a personal expedition, and he was not mentally prepared.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked at him and said: "General affairs, the secretary will take the lead, and the cabinet will discuss it with the six ministers and the celebrant supervisors. ”
He stared at it personally, watching Xue Guoguan deal with the ticket for nearly five months, and he felt that Xue Guoguan could still rest assured that he could do things. At least he is still able to take care of the people's side in principle.
Hearing this, Xue Guoguan felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but Wang Dehua, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the celebrant eunuch, was overjoyed. Because no matter how the outer court discusses, if it is not used by him, the celebrant and eunuch, it will be invalid. In the absence of the emperor, his role must be important.
When he was rejoicing, he saw Emperor Chongzhen glance at him, and then named: "Where is Cao Daban?" ”
When Cao Huachun, the commander of Dongchang, heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The slave is here!" ”
"From now on, you will be in charge of the Great Seal of Ceremonies."
Hearing this, Cao Huachun couldn't help but be overjoyed. You must know that the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant is the most honorable position among the twelve eunuchs in the palace, similar to the chief assistant of the outer court. He didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would promote him at this time. It can be seen that it is the performance of this period of time that satisfies the emperor.
Full of joy, he hurriedly received the order: "Slave and maid obey the order!" ”
Wang Dehua on the side was stupid, just happy for a while, his position was actually sat by Cao Huachun, a eunuch, what's going on? Is it going to transfer yourself to the Zhangdong factory?
Thinking about the East Factory during this time, it seems to be very majestic. Although his status is not as good as that of the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, it is still okay, it seems that he can only reluctantly settle for a while, and wait until he finds out why the emperor did this!
He was thinking like this, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen name him again: "Where is Wang Chengen?" ”
"Where is the slave?" Wang Chengen, who was already accustomed to being a transparent person, was shocked when he heard the emperor call his name, and hurriedly bowed down and waited for the order.
"From now on, you will be in charge of the factory, and you must not slack off!"
Wang Chengen also didn't expect such an appointment, he couldn't help but be stunned, when he saw the emperor staring at him, he immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied: "The slave obeys the order!" ”
He saw that during this period of time, Cao Huachun, as the commander of Dongchang, had a lot of gray hair. Compared with today's position of the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Admiral of Dongchang is simply not too hard. However, the emperor promoted him to be the governor of Dongchang, which shows the emperor's trust, so he is also happy in his heart.
However, Wang Dehua on the side was completely stupid, because the position of the commander of the East Factory was gone.
"Where is Wang Dehua?"
Hearing that the emperor finally called his name, Wang Dehua hurriedly bowed down and waited for the order: "The slave is here!" ”
"From now on, you will be the master of the Imperial Horse Supervisor!"
"Slave obeys!" When Wang Dehua heard this, he sighed in his heart, although he was extremely unwilling, he immediately agreed.
The emperor has made it clear that he will take three major battalions to the battle, which means that he, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse seal, actually can't control anyone at all. But fortunately, there is still a war situation to manage.
He was thinking about this, but unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen then instructed him: "The War Bureau is related to the innovation of ordnance and equipment and the craftsman system. I have already explained the matter, and there must be no changes. In addition, after Bi Maokang Biqing arrives, you must cooperate with him and not be lazy! ”
"......" Wang Dehua doesn't know what to say anymore, but if he faces others, he may be scolded for a dirty word. But in front of the emperor, he only had one voice: "Slave obeys!" ”
Between words and deeds, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
But at the same time, he decided in his heart that he must check carefully, what is he doing, is it dissatisfying to the emperor? Or is there a villain who has sued? Could it be......
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Cao Huachun, who was standing there in a proper manner. Damn, it's not like he, he has already knocked down the king's heart before, and now he has snatched his position again!
Xue Guoguan on the side didn't care about Wang Dehua being transferred, he just thought about the emperor's safety. At this time, he heard that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be silent, so he played again: "Your Majesty, why don't you transfer the Governor of Baoding, the Governor of Jiliao or the Governor of Xuanda to accompany you?" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he understood what he meant, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were already proven commanders who could fight; Therefore, if you transfer a few of them to accompany you, you will have a greater certainty.
However, Emperor Chongzhen still shook his head and said: "The three of them are all guarding against Liaodong Jianyu, and they all have their own things to be busy with. I can't afford to lose sight of one or the other, and before I can do anything, I transfer them again. Chen Qiyu, the new governor of the five provinces, also has experience in leading the army to chase down the thieves, and I can trust him. ”
Speaking of this, after a pause, he said solemnly: "The biggest reason why the thieves are difficult to pacify is not that our officers and soldiers can't defeat the thieves, but that the follow-up disaster relief and pacification can't keep up. The most important thing is to solve this, understand? ”
Indeed, there is no one who solves this matter more efficiently and effectively than the emperor himself!
Therefore, after listening to his words, Xue Guoguan and the others did not put forward any more opinions.
Of course, the most important point is that Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition was only a thief, not a prisoner. If Emperor Chongzhen said at this time that he would personally conquer Liaodong, it is estimated that a large number of people will desperately oppose it.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree to edict the world, he wanted to drive the expedition in person, exterminate the traitors, and return the people of the Ming Dynasty to peace.
At the same time, he ordered all localities to raise military rations, and Jiangnan and other places also had to transport grain to Hubei and other places where thieves were in rebellion again. In the area of thieves and the surrounding cities, be sure to hold the city and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court. The three major battalions have also been notified to step up the reorganization of the army and prepare to be deployed.
After issuing these decrees, Emperor Chongzhen retired and returned to the palace. On the queen's side, he also has something to explain.
As soon as he left the main hall, he noticed that his eyes were slightly dark, and words began to appear.
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, so he stood outside the hall, as if looking up at the sky, but he was actually looking at the text displayed by the system.
"In the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor immediately could turn the tide and prosper the Ming Dynasty. My emperor, with the previous efforts, has the foundation to level the world. Go, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallow thousands of miles like a tiger, conquer all disobedience, revive the majesty of the emperor, and give the Ming Dynasty a prosperous era! ”
"To celebrate the host's crucial step, eavesdropping seeds were sent to bolster the momentum. Choice: 1 Grade A Bug Seed, or 2 Grade B Bug Seed, or 3 Grade C Bug Seed, choose! ”
After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be happy. After a little thought, he chose two Grade B eavesdropping seeds. On this expedition, the eavesdropping range within a radius of thousands of miles should be enough. If you choose a Class A eavesdropping seed, although there is no limit on the eavesdropping distance, the number of eavesdropping seeds is too small at present, and it is better to eavesdrop more seeds for the time being.
Seeing the emperor stop at the door, he looked up at the sky like that. The civil and military officials, led by Xue Guoguan, were watching from behind.
In this regard, most of them thought in their hearts, it seems that the emperor made the decision to drive the imperial expedition in person, and his heart is not so bottom-up! Looking up at the sky, could it be that he is praying for Taizu and letting Taizu bless him? In order to end the chaos in various places, the emperor really worked hard!
Thinking like this, many courtiers with a conscience couldn't help but feel ashamed in their hearts. This is all the incompetence of being a courtier, so I have to let my father lead the army to the army!
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that he was just reading the system text for a while, and he was misunderstood by the courtiers behind.
After he returned to the harem, he announced his decision. At the same time, she explained to Queen Zhou that the royal textile factory must take a good look at it, and the craftsman system of the War Bureau is also suitable for textile workers. The specific things are in charge of the things below, and what the queen has to do is to ensure that no one dares to meddle in the textile factory.
Finally, he also told Empress Zhou: "After I leave Beijing, the crown prince will be in charge of the country." However, if you are too young, political affairs will be decided by the cabinet and the celebrant and the celebrant in consultation and decision-making, and major or undecidable matters will also be reported to me as soon as possible. The affairs in the palace should also be taken care of by me, don't make trouble, so that I can have no worries! ”
After he finished speaking, Empress Zhou recovered from the shock and knew that she could no longer persuade the emperor, so she said to him: "Your Majesty, be careful yourself! The affairs in the palace will not let His Majesty worry and be distracted. ”
Speaking of which, she sent another good news, the three battalions of military uniforms that had been made by the Royal Textile Factory had just been completed.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and praise: "This is a good sign!" ”
Before the three battalions set out for the battle, not only could they change their uniforms, but also all other equipment, as long as they were in stock. The advantages of the Royal Forest Army are reflected at this time. If you change to an ordinary army, you don't have this capital.
The army is marching, not just saying that it can be walked. What's more, it's a royal expedition, and there are more things to prepare.
At this moment, an army rushed to the outskirts of Beijing.
