Zhengde's actions were quite fast, and he soon sent people straight to the grassland, but this time it was a long way, and he didn't know when he would be able to reply.

And Emperor Zhengde naturally could not put all his hopes on Altan Khan's borrowing of troops, borrowing troops was only one of his countermeasures, and at the same time he also sent people to start drawing the remaining troops from the border towns and northern provinces.

In recent years, in the military system reform that began in the Ming Dynasty, the southern provinces trained the new army, and the northern provinces, the border army also trained the new army, and most of the new guns made by the northern provinces such as the Beijing Division were equipped with the border army and the Beijing camp and the new army in the northern provinces.

And these newly trained troops have already successively transferred no less than 100,000 people to the south, which has seriously affected the defense of the north, but Emperor Zhengde did not care much at that time.

And now, the situation is more dangerous than last year, and the current Emperor Zhengde is already preparing to transfer all the northern provinces and border troops from all over the country, even if it leads to the emptiness of the northern defense line, Altan Khan will take advantage of the weakness and will not hesitate to enter.

If you don't transfer troops to hold the first line of Shandong and Henan, the Ming Dynasty will be finished, and you can still take care of the safety of the northern defense line!

Even if it is the transfer of troops, it will lead to a sharp increase in civil strife in the provinces, even to the extent of conquering cities, but Emperor Zhengde does not care, although the rebels in other places are also a headache, but their threat level is not worth mentioning compared with the pseudo-Tang in the south.

As long as he can block the momentum of the puppet Tang thief army going north and give him a certain buffer time, he will be able to revive the army!

At this moment, it is already the most dangerous time for the Ming Dynasty, and its danger is far more dangerous than the Tumubao change of that year, and after Zhengde made up his mind, he directly dispatched troops from all over the country to the south by thunderbolt means.

And this time, he doesn't plan to send any ministers of the DPRK and China to supervise the war or something, he wants to recruit in person!

When Emperor Zhengde said that he wanted to conquer in person, he scared the ministers of the Ming Dynasty half to death, and they all cried and shouted for His Majesty to think twice, but Emperor Zhengde was unmoved.

Nima, if Lao Tzu doesn't personally supervise the war, the Ming Dynasty will be defeated by you.

Today's Emperor Zhengde can be regarded as seeing through, the courtiers in the court, although there are still a lot of loyal ministers, and there are hard bones, but most of them are soft bones, today they may be the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, maybe tomorrow they will be the courtiers of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Zhengde can be regarded as understanding the mentality of these scholars, and they are loyal to the emperor.

But they don't really care who this emperor is, as long as this emperor meets the standards in their hearts, then they will not hesitate to offer their knees!

And what standard?

Naturally, it depends on whether the knife is sharp or not, and whether it can bring them benefits or not!

You don't see, every time the puppet Tang thief army captures a place, although the local scholars and gentry shouted and scolded before, but in the end they still didn't pay taxes obediently, but also ran to participate in the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty and became an official of the Tang Dynasty.

Ma Dan, when Emperor Zhengde planned to open a commercial donation in Jiangnan two years ago according to Zhang Yue's proposal, a group of ministers cried and shouted against Emperor Zhengde's parents like they wanted to kill their parents, and there were several who hit the pillar.

But now what!

Now Emperor Zhengde is a little envious of the pseudo-Tang Li Xuan in the south, look at the emperor of others, how comfortable he is, whoever opposes it will kill whom, if he wants to collect commercial taxes, he will collect commercial taxes, and if he wants the gentry to pay taxes, he will pay taxes as one.

Emperor Zhengde is going to conquer in person, and he plans to give it a go and directly bring all the troops that can be drawn from the north, but the army will ask for money, where does this money come from?

Treasury? The treasury of the Ming Dynasty in the last two years was able to starve rats to death.

In the imperial treasury, Emperor Zhengde also accumulated some family funds in the early years, but in recent years, Emperor Zhengde has taken out a lot of wars every year, and now, there are only less than one million taels of silver left.

And just these silvers, it is still the funds that Emperor Zhengde quietly asked his henchmen and eunuchs to take out some treasures in the palace to sell on the market.

Relying on the sale of treasures to raise military expenses, Emperor Zhengde felt that he was unlucky enough!

And with so much silver taken out before, Emperor Zhengde knew that less than half of the silver had become military expenses in the army, and the remaining half had gone into the pockets of many ministers in the court.

The army is going to go on the march, but what if there is no money?

It's hard to make it cold, this is not Emperor Zhengde's style!

He is not the first emperor, he has a strong personality, and he has never played cards according to common sense, so he raised the butcher knife and started to play the house!

Raiding the house to make money, Li Xuan over there has a good time, why can't he play Zhengde?

The ministers in the court, if one kills the other, none of them will be wronged, so Zhengde turned out many impeachment folds that were not issued in the past, and then analyzed with a group of eunuchs which courtiers had more money.

This time, Emperor Zhengde played with the house, and the crime was extremely evil, whether it was central or not was not the criterion for judging, there was only one criterion for judging, that is, who had the money!

So, three days after the news of Yangzhou's fiasco reached Beijing, Emperor Zhengde arrested more than a dozen officials in the court and China for various messy reasons such as thieves and ineffective supervision, and they were also important ministers, including Yan Song and his son.

To be honest, he still admires Yan Song, if it weren't for his too much family wealth, Emperor Zhengde would be reluctant to kill him.

After such a fuss, the entire Jingshi was panicked for a while, but now, the red-eyed Emperor Zhengde couldn't take care of it much, and directly according to whose family had more money, making a list was to arrest and raid the house.

As for the opposition of those courtiers, Zhengde can't take care of it, and he didn't come out of chaos to raid his house, he was targeting the civil official system, but Xungui and his relatives did not move, of course, more importantly, the more than 20,000 Beijing camps in the current Beijing division are all under the control of Xungui.

And these nobles are welcoming Emperor Zhengde's suppression of civil officials, which has nothing to do with personal preferences, because it means that their nobles will rise again and once again suppress civil officials.

As soon as you raid your home, the money will come!

And this money is more than Emperor Zhengde expected!

When Emperor Zhengde learned from Jinyiwei that he had confiscated all kinds of gold and silver and other assets of more than 3 million taels of silver this time, he couldn't help but scold: "These traitors, the Ming Dynasty let them corrupt!" ”

These words made the Jinyi guards and noble generals a little embarrassed, this corrupted the Ming Dynasty, not only those civil officials, they also made a lot of efforts.

And they didn't tell Emperor Zhengde that this time they had copied almost twenty ministers, of which Yan Song alone had confiscated nearly two million taels of silver, a total amount of more than six million.

Ask where the remaining three million taels of silver were.

Well, everyone is so tired of copying their homes, and a group of Dongchang and Jinyiwei fans below, the soldiers in the Beijing camp have to share the profits, and it is normal to deduct half of them, whether it is good or not, they are big people, and they only distinguish between two million taels.

It's only two million, so there's no need to talk about such a trivial matter!

Emperor Zhengde naturally didn't know these details, and even if he knew, he couldn't take care of them, and now he had one million taels in the inner treasury and three million from the house, which added up to four million, which was enough for his personal military expenses.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde immediately led 20,000 troops from Beijing, and 30,000 border troops from all over the country, a total of 50,000 troops to go south to Shandong, and at the same time spread the holy decree to Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Liaodong, so that they could fire the soldiers and Qinwang and converge on the front line of Shandong.

Subsequently, he sent people to Huguang and named Zhang Yue as a 'young master', which was one of the three orphans, and few of them were able to obtain the title of three orphans in the great Ming Dynasty, and then let Zhang Yue send a partial division east to Henan to join his army, and at the same time, he also asked Zhang Yue to guard the first line of Huguang and Sichuan, so as not to make the situation in the southwest collapse.

This time, Emperor Zhengde wants to personally lead the army and fight to the death with the puppet Tang thief army!

I have to say that among the many emperors of the Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Zhengde dared to play like this!

Now he doesn't even care whether there will be a rebellion in the capital, for example, those panicked civil officials have a great probability of coercing the prince to rebel.

But he doesn't care anymore!

However, at this time, Emperor Zhengde also left a backhand, and he had already officially sent his other two sons to the vassal.

The place of the feudal domain is quite interesting, the third prince King Jing was put into Sichuan by him, and the other sixth prince King Hui was sent to Liaodong by him, and authorized the two feudal kings to form 50,000 royal palace guards on their own, and was also awarded the dispatch of supervising local military and political affairs.

This kind of arrangement can be seen almost at a glance, Emperor Zhengde is leaving a back hand for the Ming Dynasty, if he loses the battle in person, his two sons who are valued by him, may still hope to continue to resist.

As for the crown prince, he already has no hope!

Let him supervise the country in the Jingshi!

If he wins the decisive battle with the puppet Tang thief army in Shandong, this prince is not a thing, and if he fails, then this prince will definitely follow in his footsteps.

Emperor Zhengde collected military funds by thunderous means, and then led the army south, which caused a great shock in the north, and even the news quickly spread to the south.

After Zhang Yue received the holy decree of Zhengde, he sent someone to send a secret letter to Emperor Zhengde with an expedited five hundred miles, which reiterated that he Zhang Yue was born a person of the Ming Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Ming Dynasty, and he would be loyal to the Ming royal family to fight to the death.

In addition, he also vaguely stated that if the situation changes, he will continue to fight under the command of the third prince, King Jing!
