Shandong's military and political affairs were relaxed, and many guards watched Shen Muhong's army go, and then celebrated with a crown.

Every time the army arrived, they did not dare to come out to fight, and even shrank their heads and hid their tails, for fear of getting into trouble.

Fortunately, Shen Muhong's purpose was not here, and he traveled day and night, all the way to the west. The warships at sea have completely blocked the already underdeveloped sea transportation. The grain from the south of the Yangtze River can only be transported to the capital through the canal.

This time, Shen Muhong, as the head coach, has absolute authority. There will never be a situation where the last time Kaifeng was opened and the group of bandits could not be commanded. Shandong, as a large tax province, has always been responsible for the grain in the Beizhili area.

Coupled with the horse household policy of the Ming Dynasty, the people of Shandong were miserable.

In order to ensure the supply of border horses for the Ming army, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government forced farmers in Shandong and other places to act as horse breeders.

The burden of forced labor on the horse households was extremely heavy, and they had to pay a great price to ensure that the horses were well raised, not only delaying agricultural production, but also compensating for the losses when the horses they raised died or the breeding horses did not produce enough to meet the quota.

These horsemen were born with horses as companions, and they were skilled in equestrian skills, and they often had extraordinary bravery.

Such a person naturally refuses to be bullied by the court honestly. Therefore, Shandong has always been a big rebel.

During the Zhengde period, there was a rebellion led by Liu Liu, Liu Qi brothers and Yang Hu. From more than 1,000 horse households, it has developed to almost enter the capital and swept through the chaos in the north and south of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Huguang and other vast areas. The destructive power and combat effectiveness of these people can be imagined.

Shen Muhong's team, although they haven't gone through many battles, there are constantly people joining them. All the way to the march, but it became stronger and stronger. By the time they arrived at Yanzhou Mansion, the 10,000 people who had landed had grown to 50,000. Sure enough, as Shen Muhong expected, it took them ten days to see the border of Henan.

At the same time, Zhang Hao's cavalry had cleared the area around Zhengzhou.

But Sun Chuanting's army is still on the way, and the military order has been going down for ten days, and it has not yet been assembled.

The Shaanxi soldiers were too busy to take care of themselves, the capital was empty, half of Henan was occupied by Zhu Yousong, and the other half was not enough to defend him. The wolf soldiers who came from the southwest were under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, day and night. But they are too far away to quench their thirst.

Sun Chuanting was full of ambitions, but there were no soldiers available. In fact, at this time, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty was still there. If the thieves and rebels or the Tartars outside the gate come to attack, the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin everywhere should be endless.

But this time, it's a feud within the royal family. It was only 200 years since Jing was martyred, and at that time, Zhu Di liquidated the original people, and how many people he killed.

Moreover, the momentum of the Fu Domain is so great, and the foundation of the army is much stronger than that of the original King Yan. The current imperial court is even more incomparable with the Jianwen Dynasty.

In the imperial city, Zhu Youzhen was so anxious that a mouthful of blisters even grew on the corner of his mouth.

His Majesty the Emperor walked around, and the kneeling ministers did not say a word. Finally, Zhu Youzhen stopped and stopped beside Shang Shutian Ji of the Ministry of War.

Tian Ji secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and sure enough, he heard Zhu Youzhen half complaining, half asking: "Tongguan is dangerous, I heard it when I was a child, why can't I even hold it for three days?"

Luoyang is the land of the four wars, the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, and the military horses of the nine provinces have not entered the Luoyang territory until now?

Fujian has just reported good news, Jingsui at sea, and the thief Zheng Zhilong has been destroyed. What kind of ghosts are the sea owls that appeared out of thin air in Shandong?

Say, tell me, what kind of goblins are these! ”

Tian Ji was submissive and couldn't say a word. He, the secretary of the military department, has devoted his whole life to the drill camp of officialdom. If you take an officialdom culture test, it is estimated that everyone present can get more than 90 points. But when it comes to talking about the military, I can't wait to pretend to be dead one by one.

But when it came to the end, the emperor personally asked, and everyone else could pretend to be dead, but Tian Ji couldn't. He searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, sweat beaded on his forehead in a hurry, and finally came up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, we can issue an edict to all states and counties, recruit soldiers and horses, and punish the blessings and rebellions together."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes rolled, and he said in a deep voice: "In a hurry, I'm afraid it's difficult for anyone to resist it." Besides, if they have bad intentions, am I not taking it upon myself? ”

Tian Ji scolded in his heart, this is about to end, and he is suspicious, he is really a mother-in-law.

In a hurry, he really came up with another idea for him. "Your Majesty, can the soldiers and horses of Liaodong be transferred into the customs to relieve the disaster of the Fu Domain?"

Zhu Youzhen's face became even more gloomy, and he reprimanded: "The Tartars outside the gate are eyeing the tiger, and the Liaodong soldiers are transferred into the customs, do you want me to be a sinner for the ages!" ”

Zhu Youzhen already had this idea in his heart, but he himself refused to bear a charge. Originally, I planned to summon Tian Ji privately and let him put it forward or make his own opinion. But when he mentioned it so suddenly in front of hundreds of officials, he definitely couldn't agree to it.

glanced at Tian Ji, and scolded in his heart, what a fool, you hurry up and continue to insist.

But he overestimated Tian Ji too much, and as soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen's face, Tian Ji immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

On Zhu Youzhen's face, there were all kinds of expressions that he thought were very ingenious, and he hinted that Tian Ji continued to let him transfer Liaodong soldiers.

Tian Ji saw that His Majesty the Emperor had been distorted by his own angry face, and looking like that, it seemed that he had been mad. I was even more frightened in my heart, I didn't expect His Majesty to be such a fierce emperor, and I would never dare to talk about this matter again in the future.

Tian Ji, who thought he knew the holy will, kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, his head like pounding garlic. Zhu Youzhen secretly scolded, you continue to persuade me, if you don't persuade me, how can I transfer troops, what a stupid donkey.

Later, seeing that it was hopeless, Zhu Youzhen stomped his feet back angrily, left a palace of civil servants and military generals, and went back to the harem alone.

Hall Chinese Wu, you look at me, I look at you, and I went home like no one.

On the way, I also chatted leisurely about homely things, made good friends, and went to high-end places in the capital to consume.

Two high-ranking officials of the third grade, hooking their shoulders and backs, chatting as they walked.

"Hey, I look at today's court, but there are some Jianwen looks."

"Don't be funny, when Emperor Wen was built, the soldiers were strong and the horses were full of talents. How many founding marquis are there, do you see how many of them are in the court today, including you and me? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Our brothers, you have to be smart. Anyway, it's all the old Zhu family's country, who to work for is not to fight, the key is to get a good position. ”
