Zhang Weixian has been very idle recently, although nominally he is still in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and is in charge of the 12th Regiment Battalion, in fact, the Beijing Battalion has long been out of his control, because the current Beijing Battalion has long been the world of the Liaodong Army, and the former officers and soldiers of the Beijing Battalion have either been dismantled or transferred to Liaodong or the grassland.

After the Liaodong Army was stationed in Beijing, it recruited a lot of new soldiers one after another, and these soldiers would not listen to him, let alone his British duke, and now the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has existed in name only, and almost all matters involving the army have been taken back by the Ministry of War.

It is money that maintains the army, and Zhang Quan, who is in charge of money in the household department, is also Ye Xun's descendant, so Ye Xun is the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, but he is not listed.

Although there were always generals who came to Zhang Weixian to complain, the old man never reacted, because he had seen the rise of the Ming army in his lifetime, which he had always wanted to do but failed to do, so he was very satisfied and content.

Looking for Ye Xun today, there are too many people looking for him recently, and the generals can ignore it, but those relatives who are related to the past can't ignore it, and at the same time, he also wants to know how far Ye Xun intends to do this.

Soon, Ye Xun came to the British Mansion, and he was also entertained with a pot of tea, and he didn't want to think about the food and drinks.

"Old man, your family is not short of silver, right? Can't you serve me a decent meal? ”

As soon as he sat down, Ye Xun couldn't help but start complaining.

Zhang Weixian smiled coldly and said, "Come less, it's good to entertain your kid with a pot of tea, let's talk about it!" What are you going to do with us old guys? ”

Of course, Ye Xun didn't come to eat and drink, and when he heard Zhang Weixian talk about the topic directly, his face became serious.

"In all fairness, do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

One sentence stopped Zhang Weixian, yes! Is there anything wrong with Ye Xun? Land annexation has always been the root cause of the troubles of various dynasties, if Ye Xun can do this well, it will be the merit of the present and the benefit of the future!

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Weixian is very supportive of Ye Xun, otherwise he would not have given up his military power so easily, but this can only be supported in his heart, but on the surface, it will not work, in that case, the British princess will also be rejected by the nobles, which is also what Zhang Weixian does not want to see.

sighed slightly, and then said: "Xiao Yezi, you have come all the way, what you have done, the old man is happy in his eyes, you have done a lot of things that the old man wants to do, but he can't and can't do, but the world is like this, the more you do, the more people you will offend, and you have to leave a way for yourself!" ”

"Back?"

Ye Xun smiled dumbly, shook his head slightly, and said: "I know that the old man is a good intention, but Ye Mou does things, worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the Ming Dynasty's billions of Li Shu, this is enough, I have never cared what others think, and I am not afraid that someone will be unfavorable to me, as long as I have the ability, I can let the horse come, Ye Mou is next"

Speaking of this, Ye Xun's face suddenly turned pale, and he said: "I plan to go to Jiangnan in a few days, and Beijing will rely on the old man to take care of me."

According to the previous plan, Ye Xun planned to destroy Huang Taiji first, and then slowly govern the entire world.

But now Ye Xun suddenly found that Huang Taiji's rule over North Korea was not strong enough, and if he rashly used troops against Huang Taiji at this time, he could only cheapen the Koreans in the end, so he might as well let it go first.

There is a saying that the outside must first be at ease, and this sentence is not unreasonable, and a stable rear can be said to be of vital importance to the war ahead.

Zhang Weixian didn't ask Ye Xun what he was doing in Jiangnan, the two didn't talk for a long time, but for him, the goal had been achieved.

Including Hou Ying and Zhao Nanqi and other nobles, they have all come to him jointly or individually, hoping that he can stand up and put pressure on Ye Xun.

Today, I believe it won't take long for many people to know, that's fine, as for what effect will be in the future, the old man will tell anyone that he has done his best.

Ye Xun is indeed going to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, first, to supervise the land clearance in various places, and at the same time to inspect the treaty ports in the south of the Yangtze River, and to form the Ming Navy.

As a traveler, Ye Xun's attention to the ocean is not comparable to anyone in this era.

Now there is no force in the DPRK that can restrain Ye Xun, so it is imperative to form a Ming navy.

Back in Xichang, Tian Ergeng sent someone to tell him that many of the emperor's relatives went to see the emperor, but they were all blocked by him.

Ye Xun knew that these imperial relatives would not give up until the last moment, he gave Hou Ying three days, and when the three days arrived, if Hou Ying hadn't said yet, the next one to catch would not be as simple as his son.

Before Ye Xun, the imperial court had always been very kind to these imperial relatives and relatives, so much so that it was common for these people's families to do whatever they wanted in the capital or other places, and there were many cases of committing adultery.

Whether it is Shuntianfu or Jinyiwei, in their files, there are already detailed records of the evidence of these people's crimes, and Ye Xun only needs to pick out two at random, and he can easily ask them for their crimes.

As soon as he took a sip of tea, Hu Jiucheng walked in quickly, put a newspaper with fire paint in his hand in front of Ye Xun, and said, "Father-in-law, this is an eight-hundred-mile rush sent by Master Sun just sent."

Hu Jiucheng is the second head of the West Factory, and Sun Dong is the commander of the Weizi Battalion, one is in charge of Liaodong and the other is in charge of the Central Plains.

This is Ye Xun's means of manipulating people, so naturally there is no need to explain it to others.

However, Hu Jiucheng didn't know that Sun Dong's report was not from Liaodong, but from Shuzhong.

After talking to Zhang Guanchang once in the suburbs of Taiyuan, Ye Xun fell in love with the richest vassal king in the Ming Dynasty.

As Zhang Guanchang said, once the king of Shu has his mind, he only needs to block the road into Sichuan, and it will be difficult for the imperial army to attack again.

Waving his hand to signal Hu Jiucheng to go down first, he opened the report, and after reading the content on it, Ye Xun's brows couldn't help frowning.

But it turned out that Sun Dong introduced the situation in Shu to Ye Xun, and said in the newspaper that this Shu king Zhu Fengquan won the hearts of the people in Shuzhong, and there was no illegal thing to bully men and women.

In the end, Sun Dong also said that his time in the local area was still short, and there may be some things that have not yet been investigated, so please Ye Xun not rush into action.

A person who has no problems is the most terrible, either this person is really born pure, or he is a great evildoer, in terms of Ye Xun's character, he is more inclined to the latter idea, not how dark his thoughts are, but the fact that this is the case.

Shuzhong is known as the country of abundance, but almost all the proceeds go to the king of Shu, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court, because this is the ancestral system, and it was rewarded to the king of Shu by the emperors of previous dynasties.

It can be said that the king of Shu is the most difficult bone to gnaw, and once he is taken down, the other vassal kings will not be a problem
