Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, diverted the topic: "Your Majesty, it has been half a year since your wedding, and the queen and the two imperial concubines have not yet heard of joy. ”

Zhu Youxiao was happy, "Lord Sun, don't say that again, I am still young, and the queen is only sixteen years old this year, and after next year, I and the queen will be eighteen years old, so naturally there will be children." According to what I can read from Western books, I am considered an adult after the age of eighteen, and I am too young to have children, which is very harmful to me, the queen, or the concubine. Secondly, I want to serve as a role model for the world, first, having children after the age of 18 is beneficial to good health and longevity. The second is that I am not taking concubines, and the first and second concubines are my limit, and I hope that the officials will not accept more than two concubines, so as not to pay enough money and cause corruption. ”

"Your Majesty is wise and loving. When the ministers went down, they went to explain the reason to the ministers, and no more than two concubines should be taken. "Sun Shenxing is still quite interesting, old man, and he still cares about young people's concubines. Zhu Youxiao didn't know that Sun Shenxing really took this as a matter to do, and the official took the third concubine, so Sun Shenxing went to discipline him, saying that he was more than a long-lived lord and violated the system.

Since he didn't have much opinion, Sun Chengzong was appointed as the governor of the counterinsurgency, and patrolled the southwest on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Before Sun Chengzong left, Zhu Youxiao explained his true intentions to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong did not think as far as Zhu Youxiao, when he understood Zhu Youxiao's intentions, it was really admired from the heart, and naturally it also meant obedience to orders.

Zhu Youxiao summoned Qi Jin, and Qi Jin is now majestic. Since Zhu Youxiao brought him from Jixian County to talk, Qi Jin has become a die-hard fan of Zhu Youxiao. Qi Jin in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's meaning, his own headquarters of 10,000 horses to eliminate the old, weak and remnant soldiers, let them in Jixian County for a generation of tuntian, and all of them eat themselves, do not need to pay any taxes, if they can not start a family, then arrange for their heirs, enjoy the same treatment as the son-in-law, the purpose of this is to solve the soldiers' worries, no worries about the soldiers, naturally the combat power is doubled.

Then Zhu Youxiao asked Qi Jin to select elite soldiers in the Shenji Battalion. In the end, Qi Jin selected a total of 30,000 qualified soldiers, including 500 artillery soldiers from Sun Yuanhua. In addition to Qi Jin's own training methods, Zhu Youxiao also provided new training methods, turning left and right, queues, running, horizontal bars, twenty miles of running, etc., and also required each person to eat three meals a day, meat every day, this guy has been in two months, all of them are as strong as calves, and so the guns and mortars are ready, and they start to equip, and then it is another month of intensive training, as soon as this training ended, the news of the rebellion of Sichuan Chongming came, Although the training was not completely completed, mainly because the shooting training time was too short, Zhu Youxiao decided to let them continue the training on the way to the march.

Zhu Youxiao sent an edict to Wei Guangxu, the governor of Huguang, so that he could prepare to buy grain, grass, and materials, organize the troops to prepare for the command of Sun Chengzong, and the salary and silver had been allocated, and all actions should not disturb the people.

The edict to Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, told him to mobilize and organize the defense of Guizhou, not to attack rashly, to assemble troops, to focus on defense, and to encircle and annihilate the rebels by the regular army of the imperial court to complete, and not to force the attack, so as not to cause unnecessary losses. Wang Sanshan looked at the edict with tears in his eyes, how much do you know about the emperor who cares about his courtiers!

The edict to Zhang Heming, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, immediately mobilized men and horses to prepare to enter Sichuan, and the food and materials were provided by Huguang and prepared to be accepted in the Shangzhou area.

Since the capture of Chongqing, Yu Chongming ordered his subordinates to attack from all sides, and successively seized the three cities of Hejiang, Luzhou and Zunyi, and proclaimed himself emperor and founded the "Great Liang". Set up the prime minister, the five governments and other officials. For a while, it was also a big momentum, and the whole Sichuan was shocked.

On October 18, the first year of the Apocalypse, after the father and son of Hao Chongming and Hao Yin divided their troops into tens of thousands of people, and successively captured Fushun, Neijiang, Ziyang, Jianzhou, Xindu, and Longquan, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded Chengdu, and Chengdu was only guarded by 2,000 soldiers at that time. As soon as the political envoy Zhu Xieyuan saw that the situation was critical, he immediately mobilized the officers and soldiers of the Shizhu Propaganda Department and the Long'an Mansion to come to the rescue. On the one hand, the garrison of Chengdu was arranged, and the patrol was guarded by Xue Puzheng of the imperial history. Shizhu comforted Qin Liangyu (female) to send his younger brother Minping, nephew Yiming and others to lead 4,000 soldiers to Nanpingguan (now southwest of Nanchuan, Sichuan), stifling the return of the Chongqing rebels, and dividing troops to defend Zhongzhou (now Zhongxian County, Sichuan Province). Qin Liangyu commanded 6,000 elite soldiers along the Jiangxi River. Qin Liangyu received an order from Sun Chengzong to enter the city of Chengdu, and after entering the city, he found Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy, and Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu who lived in Chengdu, and told them to stick to Chengdu. The king of Shu originally wanted to leave Chengdu to take refuge in his own fiefdom in Guan County, but was stopped by Zhu Xieyuan and told him that although there were not many soldiers and horses in this Chengdu city, the walls were high and it was easier to defend, and the city of Guan County was small and there were fewer people and horses.

Although Qin Liangyu is a woman, this person is quite heroic, when the Ming rebels attacked Zijiang, his brother was killed in battle, and his nephew Qin Minping was wounded and rushed out. After waiting for the army to be united, he received an urgent report from Zhu Xieyuan, asking for reinforcements to Chengdu, so Qin Liangyu led his troops to cross the river, and then suddenly went upstream, and the troops entered Nanping to let his nephew Qin Min hold Nanping, burned the rebels' boats, and led the troops to rescue Chengdu, on the way received a secret letter from Sun Chengzong, asking her to stick to Chengdu, not to take the initiative to attack, so as not to cause excessive casualties, as long as it can firmly attract the luxury Chongming father and son and the rebels in the Chengdu Plain to complete the task, the main force of the counterinsurgency is the elite Shenji battalion sent by the imperial court.

Sun Chengzong is the governor of the counterinsurgency, of course, he has the right to command all officials in the southwest, although Qin Liangyu did not understand what Sun Chengzong meant after receiving the secret letter, but he still resolutely carried out Sun Chengzong's order, and handed over the secret order to Zhu Xieyuan and the king of Shu. Zhu Xieyuan and the king of Shu saw that the imperial army would arrive soon, and the reinforcements from all walks of life continued to arrive in Chengdu, so they were a little relieved in their hearts.

Zhu Youxiao considered that Sun Chengzong could not always guard the southwest, and that there must be a person who was excellent in both military and political affairs in the southwest border to guard it, so after thinking about it, he decided to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, so he transferred Li Xin from the official school. Li Xin is also inexplicable, he has just been in this strange school for three months, why was he transferred out? What do you want to do? Good things await him!

Zhu Youxiao thinks that the scholars of the current era can be promoted because they have enough cultural skills, and the purpose of letting the scholars go to the "Ming Official School" is to train them to be loyal to the country, loyal to the imperial power, and not to form gangs for personal gain, so he feels that Li Xin's ability is enough, but he lacks experience and loyalty, so he let Li Xin worship Sun Chengzong as a teacher, let him follow Sun Chengzong to exercise for a few years, and then return to Beijing to gild, and send him to the southwest border, let him conquer Burma, India and other southwestern countries.

Where would Li Xin think of so much, as soon as he heard that he was going to worship Sun Chengzong as a teacher, his eyes were full of excitement at that time, this ancestor is the emperor's teacher, hehe, he will also be the emperor's junior brother in the future, and there will be many opportunities in the future, I didn't expect that this was Zhu Youxiao's plan at all.
