Emperor Ji Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty has been ruling this huge empire for twenty-seven years, and in the past twenty-seven years, he has devoted all his energy to governing this huge empire.

It's a pity that the Ming Empire has reached the moment of dying after more than 200 years of staggering, and all his efforts have no way to bring the empire back to life, but can only delay the demise of the empire and let it survive.

Ji Zhengde knew very well in his heart that the huge empire left to him by his ancestors had long since rotted from the roots, and even if the ancestor was resurrected, he would not have the power to return to heaven.

Internal and external troubles, natural disasters**, there are Manchu iron horsemen constantly knocking on the side, there are rogue bandits raging all over the world, frequent droughts, locust plagues, floods, earthquakes, every time it happens, this already crumbling empire is one step closer to destruction.

In the first half of the year, when the Liukou was huge, there was a tendency for soldiers to point directly at the capital, and at that time, he almost thought that he was going to be the king of the country, and even wrote the edict.

Fortunately, God had mercy on him, and he sent him a brave, resourceful, and courageous Yuan Chonghuan. Under the command and dispatch of Yuan Chonghuan, the two largest tributaries in the world, Kou Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who no one can handle, were blocked in the mountains of Shangluo to survive.

Seeing that the problem of the rogue that gave him the most headache was about to subside, Ji Zhengde felt that his sick dragon body was much more energetic and his appetite was much better.

even pampered a palace maid who served him one night. You must know that he has not spoiled any concubines in the past two years, let alone a palace maid, this matter has made people in the palace talk in private, and they all say that the emperor has a second spring.

However, before the problem of the Liukou was completely settled, the Tartars of Liaodong were restless and sent troops to attack Datong City. Although I don't know why, I didn't take it for two days, and finally I hastily withdrew my troops.

But this incident made the Ming Emperor get angry again a few days after he was in a good mood, and he hurriedly transferred Yuan Chonghuan, who had high hopes for him, to Liaodong again, hoping that he could pacify the Tartars of Liaodong like pacifying the Liukou.

Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan himself also swore that he would make a military order, saying that he could level Liao in five years. The credit of pacifying the Liukou made Ji Zhengde feel that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were straw bales, and only Yuan Chonghuan could be trusted in the world, so he added various officials to Yuan Chonghuan, and personally sent him north to Datong at Deshengmen, that honor is really unique in the world.

Yuan Chonghuan went to Liaodong for two months, although there was no good news, but the matter of Liukou finally had a result. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong all surrendered, and the army of the Kou Suppression Army had already returned to their respective provinces, and the world except for Liaodong seemed to be so calm all of a sudden.

This made Ji Zhengde's heart relax all of a sudden, and his smile was obviously more these days. Although all kinds of natural disasters are still being sent from all over the country, in Ji Zhengde's opinion, these don't matter.

As long as the Liukou is pacified, and then Yuan Chonghuan takes another five years to pacify Liaodong, he will be in a good mood, and maybe he will be able to live for another ten years.

As long as the internal and external stability is calm and nothing major happens, Ji Zhengde believes that he will be able to let the Ming Empire continue to pass it on, at least he can hand him over to his children and grandchildren when he is alive.

But two days ago, a secret report sent by Jinyiwei made him start muttering in his heart again.

According to the report of Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, this secret report was secretly reported by Shen Lian, a thousand households of Jinyiwei Datong, through the passage of Jinyiwei.

The content of the secret report is that there was an anti-Qing rebel army in Liaodong, this rebel army was very brave in combat, fought with the Tartars several times, each time it was a big defeat of the Tartars, and killed the Tartar Han Eight Banners General Tong Yangxing, and a surprise attack on Liaoyang City, briefly recovered Liaoyang, which had been lost by the Ming army for five years, and finally forced the Tartars who were attacking Datong City to withdraw.

Moreover, when this rebel army went south, it also gathered and sheltered the people of Liaodong everywhere, so that the people were saved from being slaughtered and plundered by the Tartars.

Annoyed and angry, the Tartars sent an army of 30,000 under the leadership of their wise king, Duoduo, to encircle and suppress this rebel army. Under the leadership of its leader Jiang Chuan, the rebels overcame the Tartar army, captured the Tartar general Aobai alive and punished him with a car split, so as to relieve the anger of the people, and finally forced the Tartars to withdraw their troops. This defeat caused internal instability in the Tartars, and the Mongol tribes and Korea began to move, and the Tartars were too busy to stabilize the interior, so they could not move south.

Moreover, this rebel army raised its own food and grass, and built its own weapons and armor, all of which were raised by its leader Jiang Chuan after scattering his wealth. Moreover, the righteous army was disciplined, benevolent and righteous and loved the people, and did not rob any of the people, and the name of benevolence and righteousness was praised among the people.

Moreover, whenever Jiang Chuan, the leader of the rebel army, rescued the people, he acted in the name of the great emperor. Jiang Chuan repeatedly mentioned that he was dedicated to serving the country and wanted to fight for the country, but he had no way to serve the country, so he could only scatter his family wealth and organize a righteous army on his own to resist the tyranny of the Manchu Tartars.

Seeing this, the Ming Emperor excitedly patted the imperial case and shouted that it was really a righteous man.

If there are more righteous people who have the court in their hearts like this, then why should the rogue Tartars be unfair, and the world should not be stable.

Seeing this, Ji Zhengde has already developed a heart of love. In this troubled world, what he lacks most now is talents who can fight. Now this talent is in front of his eyes.

Moreover, this talent is also dedicated to serving the country, knowing the difficulties of the court, he does not ask the court for a single amount of money, and scatters his family wealth to plan for the construction of a righteous army, which is rare in the world.

The most rare thing is that every time he shelters the people, he does it in the name of the Ming Emperor, so that the people can miss the kindness of the emperor and the kindness of the court.

This can simply be called a national soldier, Ji Zhengde praised in his heart.

But seeing the back of the secret report made his brows furrow.

The secret report said that after hearing the name of the righteous army, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Datong, became jealous, falsely accused him of being a thief, and asked Jiang Chuan, the leader of the righteous army, to surrender by himself, but Jiang Chuan was angry and refused.

Therefore, Inspector Yuan decided to lead the troops to encircle and suppress the righteous army, and the people of Datong have discussed this matter, and they are all unhappy for the righteous army. Chen Shen Lian is afraid that there will be a disaster, so that the righteous people who serve the country will be cold, and the people of the world will be cold, so he will report this matter to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to make a decision in time, so as not to cause the disaster of Xiao Wall and be taken advantage of by the Tartars!

Seeing this, although Ji Zhengde didn't believe it a little, when he thought that the Yuan Inspector he trusted was indeed not a broad-minded person, this kind of thing was not impossible.

One is an anti-Qing righteous man, and the other is a Ming Governor who is trusted by himself, these two are about to fight, and now the only thing that can be stopped is himself, the emperor.

But how to stop the femdom? He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

When people get old, many times they don't have the same decisiveness and clarity as when they were young.

"Summons a few cabinet college students to come to the East Warm Pavilion for discussion." The emperor thought for a while, and commanded Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was waiting next to him.
