The main hall of the Qianqing Palace

Listening to Wang Yongguang's simple explanation of the war preparedness response plans in various parts of Liaodong, Zhu Youzhen felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

The military department of the Ming Dynasty still has some achievements.

Regardless of the combat readiness plan explained by Wang Yongguang, what will be the actual implementation in the future? But at least the Ming Military Department does have such a complete plan.

This shows that the military department of the Ming Dynasty is not like the black on the Internet in the previous life, it is like the six departments of the imperial empire, which does not even know how to make a plan, and will only quarrel and corrupt and take profits every day.

The war readiness plan mentioned by Wang Yongguang sounded like a good thing, so Zhu Youzhen couldn't judge the quality of this plan for a while.

The main thing is that even the best plan needs people to execute it.

The insights of the past and present lives are combined, and Zhu Youzhen has not been able to figure out how strong the combat power of the Houjin Tartars is in this era? And how weak is the combat power of the Ming army?

To tell the truth, Zhu Youzhen really felt that there was a lack of a practical comparison between the combat strength of the Ming and Jin sides.

Zhu Youzhen could only feel from what he had seen and heard in Lushun that at least when defending the city, the combat strength of the Ming army was not much weaker than that of the Houjin Tatars.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that in Lushun, what Zhu Youzhen saw was not the real main force of the Tartars.

However, regardless of the difference in Mingjin's combat power. In Wang Yongguang's war preparedness plan, Zhu Youzhen heard a list of names that he had been familiar with in his previous life. Like what Liaodong governor Yuan Chonghuan took Ning Yuan to join the general Zu Dashou and stick to Ning Yuan; Ningyuan General Zhao Shujiao (plus rank General Soldier), General Zuo Fu, Deputy General Zhu Mei Shou Jinzhou; The general army of Shanhaiguan guards the Shanhaiguan.

The familiar names of Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, and Zhao Shujiao gave Zhu Youzhen a lot of confidence in this war preparedness plan. After all, the current position of these famous figures is completely consistent with the 'Ningjin Great Victory' that Zhu Youzhen knew in his previous life.

Since Liaodong is still in this configuration, then in the previous life, he could be a 'Ning Jin Great Victory', and in this life, he Zhu Youzhen paid attention to this place in advance, as long as he gave them more support, Ning Jin had no reason not to continue the great victory?

"Good, good. This plan is good, just notify Liaodong to implement it immediately according to this plan! ”

No longer worried in his heart, Zhu Youzhen showed a relieved smile on his face.

In line with the speed of the soldiers, if you prepare a day earlier, you can prepare a little more and more properly, Zhu Youzhen immediately made a direct decision.

"Your Majesty, by all means!"

Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, all the ministers in the palace, even Wang Yongguang, who had just explained the plan in person, all opened their mouths to stop Zhu Youzhen.

Looking at the ministers who were a little angry, Zhu Youzhen was the second monk and was confused.

Looking at the ministers in the palace, Zhu Youzhen asked with a confused face: "Zhongqing, what's wrong with this plan?" What is not feasible? ”

What's wrong? Where is it not feasible?

The ministers in the palace looked at each other a few times, their faces did not move, but they all thought in their hearts: What is wrong?

Your Majesty Chongzhen, your direct decision is the biggest inappropriateness.

Where is it not feasible?

Your Majesty Chongzhen, you directly ordered the execution, which is the most infeasible place.

If Your Majesty Chongzhen is so arbitrary in everything, then what is the use of the cabinet?

You must know that since the establishment of the cabinet by the Yongle Emperor, after decades of running-in from Xuande to Chenghua, the Wenchen cabinet of the Ming Dynasty finally realized the dream of 'the Son of Heaven ruling by arching' during the Hongzhi period.

Since then, why did Emperor Zhengde, who was as absurd as Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Jiajing, fail to shake off the cabinet and reproduce the era of strong imperial power that was dictatorial and arbitrary?

Without him, it was only because of the Hongwu and Yongle periods, the emperor's authority was too strong, the export became a constitution, and the cadres were arbitrary, which led to the Ming courtiers living a precarious life. Those days, none of the courtiers wanted to recur.

All the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who he was, whether he was a eunuch, Donglin or any other party, actually maintained all kinds of vigilance against the newly enthroned emperor.

Over the past hundred years, the administrative system of the cabinet and the six ministries has been gradually improved, which is the biggest barrier used by the Ming Dynasty ministers to restrain the imperial power.

This barrier, how dare the courtiers let Zhu Youzhen easily break it.

Like just now, Zhu Youzhen's decision belongs to the emperor's own decision. This kind of central decree that has not been pasted yellow by the cabinet and approved by the celebrant and supervisor, how dare the military department follow the order.

If the Ministry of War accepts Zhu Youzhen's central decree, and another day Zhu Youzhen will make other wills (such as the will to kill the courtiers indiscriminately), how should the courtiers respond?

Thinking of this, all the ministers in the palace (including Wei Zhongxian) looked at Wang Yongguang with unkind eyes.

It's all to blame on Wang Yongguang.

If he hadn't been caught off guard this time, how would everyone have ended up like this?

In fact, the courtiers have always had a very simple way to deal with a new emperor like Zhu Youzhen: that is, the word 'drag'.

The new emperor ascended the throne with high spirits, and he had the feeling of 'once the power was in hand, he had to carry out the order'.

In the face of the new emperor's first involvement in court politics, the courtiers will work together to complicate simple things and make complex things even more chaotic.

The courtiers had to make the new emperor struggle to deal with a small political matter, so that the new emperor could exhaust all the passion of the first time to ascend to the throne in the complicated political affairs, and finally rebalance with the new emperor. Let the government continue to operate in their system and under their control (like the Apocalypse).

Speaking of which, this time it was Zhu Youzhen's dormant ignorance of the government for several months, which made the courtiers a little lax. And Zhu Youzhen's choice of Liaodong military as the entry point also caught the courtiers a little off guard.

What's more critical is that Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the military department, was confused by Zhu Youzhen's tired image of government for several months, and put all his energy on how to deal with Wei Zhongxian, so he hurriedly reported the war readiness plan.

If Wang Yongguang had been prepared in his heart, Wang Yongguang would never have been able to finish talking about such a war preparedness plan that involved a lot of time if he hadn't talked about it for a few hours. If Wang Yongguang is not dizzy and dizzy by Zhu Youzhen, who is introduced by Zhengbo, then he will definitely be a qualified Ming bureaucrat.

However, under Wang Yongguang's negligence, the war readiness plan was hurriedly reported, and His Majesty Chongzhen not only gladly accepted it, but also made a decree to be implemented. This made the courtiers present unbearable.

If this doesn't dispel His Majesty Chongzhen's thoughts, will everyone be able to live a good life in the future?

After a series of eye contacts, Huang Liji, a cabinet scholar, reluctantly took on the important task of relieving His Majesty Chongzhen's doubts.

"Back to Your Majesty," Huang Liji coughed clearly, and slowly replied with a clear mind: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is playing for the Liaodong War Preparation, and there is no oversight in this war preparation. It's just that combat readiness cannot be moved lightly.

Your Majesty must know that the consumption of war preparations is staggering, and the accumulation of the national treasury will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Moreover, this plan is too wide-ranging, and it is necessary for the cabinet to coordinate with the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry, and to complete it with the simultaneous efforts of several ministries. ”

With a single word, Huang Liji took the execution of the war readiness plan back to the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, I don't know..."

After a brief pause, Huang Liji's words clearly revealed hesitation, "Your Majesty, I don't know where this Liaodong military situation came from?" Can you be sure? ”
