For Zheng Zhilong, Zhu Xu gave high hopes, and immediately issued an order to Xiong Wencan, recruiting him, and at the same time selecting low-level officers with good qualifications, and selecting them to be sent to Beijing and entering the Royal Military Academy for training. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for Princess Xin, Empress Dowager Zhang and Concubine Liu were very happy, and the harem was discussing whether it was a man or a woman, and what to name.

On the south side of the river, with the imperial court's decision to move the administrative office, the original pool of stagnant water was finally revived.

The Jin dynasty was deeply entrenched in Luo/Yang, and Zhao Han mobilized a large number of officials from the capital to quickly structure the governor yamen.

The officials of Kai/Feng are busy with two things from top to bottom, one is to impeach Xin/Wang, Jin/Wang, etc., and the other is shuttling back and forth between Kai/Feng and Luo/Yang.

The situation in Shan/West is better, King Jing, Zhang Ruitu, Ma Shilong, plus Cao Wenzhao, and the 7788 that has already infiltrated Dongchang, is handled neatly and neatly, almost like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and the system reform is faster than He/Nan.

The end of the year is imminent, and no one has the heart to make trouble at this time, and if they do, they will bear the most severe price.

Zhu Xu was originally going to clear Zhangshan/Dongtian Mu, but was finally stopped by Bi Ziyan, saying that he was 'patient in big things', telling him to calm down and not be in a hurry, otherwise it would be easy to backfire.

Who knows, piles of big things are pressing on Zhu Xu's heart, and time is not waiting.

However, Zhu Xu still endured, Shan/Dong had just finished restructuring, and touching such a sensitive area was not conducive to stability.

The first year of Chongzhen, December 18.

Zhu Xu stepped on the snow to find plums, and walked slowly in the imperial garden, with different shades of footsteps, making a squeaky sound.

Behind him, in addition to Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao and others, there were four other people. Wang Wensheng, the cousin of the Wang family, who came back from the mountain/west, Wang Canghai, an instructor of the Royal Military Academy, and Fan Yixuan recommended him to enter Beijing, Peng Mingyang, who participated in the martial arts test, and Cai Xiao, who followed Zhao Shujiao back to Beijing.

These four people are all people that Zhu Xu values and wants to cultivate, among which Wang Wensheng has the highest military rank.

Zhu Xu looked at the brilliant and proud Hanmei in front of him, and said with a smile: "Cousin, the things in the mountain/west are doing well, Mrs. Wang entered the palace a few days ago, but she didn't say good things about you in front of me." ”

Wang Wensheng was quite apprehensive in his heart, the little cousin in front of him was not for him to cling to at will, thinking about it for so long, he saw it for the second time, his expression remained unchanged, and he bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, grandmother just urged the ministers to return to Beijing to get married, and there is nothing else to think." ”

Zhu Xu glanced back at him, smiled, looked at Wang Canghai and said, "The doctors and professors over there in the Military Academy have praised you, saying that it is a pity that you are placed in the Military Academy." ”

Wang Canghai was very excited, and said with his eyes wide open: "Your Majesty, they ...... Overrated. ”

He was born on his own martial arts and has no knowledge, so it is really difficult for him to speak in such a serious way.

Zhu Xu looked at Peng Mingyang, nodded, and said, "Fan Yixuan is very praising you, you are not bad at archery that day, I am optimistic about you." ”

Peng Ming raised his eyebrows and big eyes, and said with an indifferent look, "Yes." ”

Zhu Xu blinked when he heard this, smiled slightly and turned to the last Cai Xiao, and said, "You have performed well in the base of the Ordnance Bureau, and I asked Sun Shilang for you, but I didn't bother to say anything, well, I didn't let people be ashamed." ”

This Cai Xiao is the kind of person who is confused about small things and shrewd in big things, tall and big, with a military atmosphere, listening to Zhu Xu's words, he smiled and said: "It's Sun Shilang's wrong love, and the minister is not so good." ”

These words made Zhu Xu really laugh when he heard this, glanced at a few people, walked to the pavilion not far away, sat down on the stone bench, drank hot tea, and looked at the four people: "I give you a chance, where do you want to go?" Which army? ”

Wang Wensheng glanced at the few people around him, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to go to the new army." ”

The so-called New Army is the soldiers and horses that Qin Liangyu purged from the four northern towns, and there is no military number at present, and they are collectively called the New Army.

Zhu Xu looked at him and said with a smile: "Old Mrs. Wang can wait to hold her great-grandson, cousin is doing this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the family to explain, right?" ”

Wang Wensheng also looked a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said, "Minister...... I will ask the ancestor for permission. ”

Zhu Xu nodded, looked at Wang Canghai and the three of them, and said, "What about the three of you?" ”

Wang Canghai and Peng Mingyang were a little apprehensive and didn't speak, Cai Xiao said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to go to the new army." ”

Wang Canghai and Peng Mingyang also hurriedly followed: "So are the ministers." ”

Zhu Xu looked at the four of them, but he also secretly agreed with his thoughts, stood up and said, "That's good, I will fulfill you." Wang Wensheng, I ordered you to lead a battalion alone, 3,000 people. Cai Xiao, the three of you each lead a thousand people, belong to Wang Wensheng's independent battalion, soldiers, you go to Qin Liangyu and pick the best! ”

The four of them were overjoyed, this was much better than in Qin Liangyu's army, and they were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Liaodong Dusi, Zhen/Jiangfu.

In the big basket under the huge balloon, Zhang Pan held a monocular telescope and looked at the direction of Shen/Yang from afar.

There was a deputy general standing next to him, and he said with a solemn expression: "My lord, it has been a few days since the Jiannu anomaly, you say, could it be that he is attacking our idea?" ”

Houjin was defeated in Jin/Zhou, Ning/Yuan, and in a short period of time, it was impossible to dare to go south, and the Meng/Gu's Chaha/Erbu was also disabled, and if Jiannu moved, the only one who could move was Dongjiang Town.

Zhang Pan's brows were tightened, and he was still observing around, and said: "Now that it is cold in winter, it is not profitable to build a slave, so it stands to reason that it should not be ......."

The deputy general looked at the north from afar, and hesitated: "My lord, it's better to be cautious, report to the chief soldier, and then send it to the imperial court for disposal." ”

Zhang Pan directional binoculars, groaned, and said, "Let's go, go back to the skin/island." ”

It didn't take long for the music of Phi Dao to depart from the sea and pass through Ten/Tsue to the capital.

Inside the Shen/Yang Palace.

Huang Taiji, Amin, Jilharang, Dolgon, Tong Yangzhen and others gathered together, and there was a wave of fireworks surging.

Amin stood in front of Huang Taiji, almost pointed at his nose and shouted, "What's wrong with Dorgon's method of marching? Once we have passed the Xifeng/Kou, our army will be able to go straight to the Gyeonggi of the Southern Barbarians, and there is nothing you want! ”

Zierharang, Shuotuo and the others all kept their faces calm and did not speak, Houjin's pattern is becoming more and more strange now, Amin is arrogant, and Huang Taiji retreats step by step, which makes the people in the middle extremely uncomfortable.

Dolgon's face was expressionless, with Huang Taiji's secret support, his power was growing rapidly, and the two Duoduo brothers had already mastered the two banners, and they were going to marry Cole/Qin, and the internal and external forces were quietly expanding.

Tong Yangzhen also had a calm face, showing apprehension.

Huang Taiji ignored Amin, turned his head to look at Tong Yangzhen, and said lightly: "How is the matter with the cannon?" ”

Tong Yangzhen hurriedly said: "Great Khan, the cannon you got from Chaha/Er, you also saw it, it was deliberately pitted by the Southern Dynasty Lin/Dan Khan, and it exploded after a few attempts." I asked the Han craftsmen to try to imitate it, but most of them exploded and were difficult to form, so the minions thought that if they wanted to cast the same cannon as the Southern Dynasty, they had to find skilled craftsmen from the Southern Dynasty......"

Huang Taiji frowned, and said coldly: "No matter what method you use, before March next year, you must cast a cannon, and Ben Khan will blow up Pingjin/Zhou and Ning/Yuan!" ”

Without waiting for Tong Yangzhen to speak, Amin shouted angrily: "Why, Xifeng/Kou has such a good opportunity, why don't you just bypass the mountains and seas/passes and defeat the capital division of the Southern Barbarians!" ”

Huang Taiji was patient, glanced at Dolgon, and said indifferently: "Dolgon, this is your idea?" ”

Dolgon stood up and said with a blank face, "Great Khan, no. ”

Amin turned sharply to Dolgon, his eyes widened with rage, his face hideous, and he roared, "Isn't that what you think? Didn't you talk to Dordor in the house? ”

As soon as Amin's voice fell, Zilharang and the others frowned. This Amin is really stupid, releasing people in other people's mansions, and actually saying it openly.

Dolgon's brows furrowed, and he stiffened his neck and said, "No." ”

"You ......" Amin hated, his chest rose and fell violently, and he suddenly turned to Huang Taiji again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Why can't you?" This is the Southern Barbarian self-destruction of the Great Wall, why don't you fight? ”

Huang Taiji can't move Amin yet, Amin holds the three flags in his hand, or Baylor, who is ranked in front of him, and takes turns to govern with him, and he has to back down when something happens.

After pondering his words, Huang Taiji looked at him and said: "The Ming Dynasty is no longer the past, there will not be such a big mistake, it should be a trap, my Dajin vitality has not recovered, and I can't take risks." ”

Amin waved his hand, almost hit Huang Taiji's nose, and sneered: "You are just scared of being beaten by the Southern Barbarians, you don't dare to fight such a good opportunity, if you don't fight, I'll fight!" ”

When Huang Taiji saw it, he immediately stood up and said loudly, "Slow!" ”

Amin looked at Huang Taiji with a sarcastic expression, looking like he was going to attack Xifeng/Kou alone.

Huang Taiji's heart was boiling with hatred, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said with a deep color: "We said before, everything that needs to be discussed by a few of us, anyone who comes in vain will be deprived of military power, confiscated the manor, and slaves!" ”

When Amin saw Huang Taiji pressing him with this, his face twitched fiercely, and he turned his head to look at Dolgon, Zilharang and others, these people were not in agreement with him and would not listen to him at all.

Amin was so angry that he was going crazy, screaming angrily, and even pulled out his knife, and finally said to Huang Taiji, "Okay, well, since you refuse to send troops, then when you send troops, don't blame me for not agreeing!" ”

After saying that, shake off your hands and leave.

Huang Taiji looked at his back, his face was gloomy, and he was getting more and more unbearable for Amin.

However, he is the best at forbearance, and in an instant, he smiled at Zilharang and the others: "That's it today, Amin Ben Khan will go and persuade you, you guys are busy with your own things." ”

Everyone looked at each other, stood up and said, "Yes." ”

After everyone left, Huang Taiji looked at the empty hall and his expression changed.

Since the last time he returned to Jin/Zhou, he felt more and more lonely, and there was no one around him who could help him. He also wanted to re-select Han officials, but Amin resolutely opposed it, so he couldn't make it.

"Hey." Huang Taiji sighed lightly and looked at the south, he had a strong desire in his heart, wanting to immediately set foot on Jin/Zhou, Pingning/Yuan, and Shanhai/Guan, but reason told him that it was not enough, he needed to stabilize the Jin Kingdom and slowly recover and grow.

As for Na Xi Feng/Kou, he saw through it at a glance, it was an obvious trap!

Daming Jingshi, Zhu Xu, who thought that he would be able to live a good year in peace, sat on the dragon chair in the imperial study, with emotion on his face.

Just because he doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that others don't mess with him.

Just one day ago, Ningxia Town was in an emergency for 800 miles, and nearly 40,000 people from the Mongolian/Gujiao/Han/Ministry, and the soldiers were committing Ning/Xia, as if they were going to take the opportunity to loot.

Cao Huachun stood on the side and said: "Your Majesty, now that trade has stopped everywhere at the border gates, Jiannu, Mongolian/Ancient have no food, salt, cotton clothes, and this year is too cold, this should be expected." ”

Zhu Xu laughed, where there is anything to predict the enemy first, fortunately, Ning/Xia Zhen has been rectified by Sun Chengzong, and there are 60,000 elite soldiers in 4/Sichuan to respond nearby, so there should be no major incident.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Xu still said: "Send a decree to Qin Minping, ordering him to temporarily command the soldiers and horses of the southwest provinces, deal with the towns in the southwest, and exercise arbitrary power if necessary!" ”

Cao Huachun knew Zhu Xu's attention and trust in Qin Liangyu's family, and raised his hand and said, "Obey." ”

At the same time, outside the capital, a storm of impeachment of Wei Zhongxian suddenly set off.

The reason is that Zhang Ruitu, Li Jingbai, Huang Liji, Wu Chunfu, Zhang Ixu, Cao Qincheng, Wei Shan and others played, talking about Wei Zhongxian's merits and grievances in the time of the first emperor, please continue the merit, Jin Su Ninggong, and order all over the place to engrave monuments to sacrifice.

This is also the weakened version of the ancestral hall back then, and it is naturally Zhu Xu who is scrupled.

However, the strength shown by the eunuchs still shocked a large number of people.

The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the former Nan/Jing Town Eunuch, the governor of the three provinces, two of them are also from the Wenzhao Pavilion, it can be said that the important power organs of the Ming Dynasty have eunuch people, and they are all high and powerful!

What's more, Wei Zhongxian also controls the East Factory that annexed Jinyiwei!

Such a force really made Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, break out in a cold sweat.

Hundreds of notebooks flew into the Department of General Affairs, some even directly entered the Department of Ceremonies, and some people personally broke into the imperial study and gave direct advice to their faces.

However, this is just a temptation by Zhu Xu, or rather, an encouragement to the eunuch party to expand the power of the eunuch party.

In the side hall of Jingyang Palace, Bi Ziyan finished teaching Zhu Xu and did not leave, watching Zhu Xu sitting there to clean up his handwriting, walked over, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, will the tail be too big?" ”

He knew Zhu Xu's plan, and wanted to use the power of the eunuch party to clear the world's acres of fields, household registration, and redivide the acres of land. Although he felt that something was wrong, it was much better than the imperial court to bear this 'guilt', as long as it was properly controlled, it would not be impossible to use Wei Zhongxian's head to eliminate people's grievances in the future, anyway, it would not be too much to kill him ten times.

Zhu Xu naturally hasn't mentioned the matter of 'the integration of officials and gentry', and this matter may not be acceptable even if Bi Ziyan is afraid of it.

Zhu Xu packed up the paper, stood up and said with a smile: "It's nothing more than an East Factory, Mr. doesn't have to care." ”

In the eyes of the outer court, Dongchang is a sword hanging above his head, but in the eyes of the emperor, it is just a tool.

Bi Ziyan was relieved and did not continue to ask.
