Chapter 247: I can't stand by and watch
I couldn't help but sigh with some emotion to the officials who came to see him off. "What the boss said is that if I am a Ming Dynasty, I can have such a hundred thousand heroes, which is enough to step on the grassland desert and restore the old view of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"How is this elite compared to the best teams in the world?" Hearing these sycophant words, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, raised his eyebrows very proudly, and asked loudly.
"The ministers have been in the army for a long time, and they are also considered to be rough in military affairs, and looking at the armies in the world, it is the forbidden brigade in Beijing, and it is not as good as this. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Jiang Fu, who was also wearing armor, took a deep breath, his face full of admiration and jealousy.
Such an army is what every general will think about and desire to have, but unfortunately, this is Zhu Qizhen, the pro-army of His Majesty the Emperor, and the two leading generals are all super hard masters in the background, and Yang Jun's father is the first general of the Ming Dynasty, and his reputation is great.
Shi Biao's uncle is second only to Yang Hong in reputation, but he is the henchman of today, and he was named Marquis after the first war of Jingshi, and he holds the 100,000 strong army of Datong, and he is in the limelight for a while.
Besides, he Jiang Fu is also the chief military officer of the dignified Xuanfu border town, and he can't go to grab the military power with his subordinates, so he is a little jealous, but not a lot, not to mention that this time, he, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, will also go to Wanquan right guard with Zhu Qizhen to station.
And Xuanfu City will first be garrisoned by Wang Jinchang, although this is the hinterland of Xuanfu Border Town, but the problem is that the enemy of Zhu Qi Town is not just a thorn on the grassland. And there are those around who don't know what to do.
Although Shi Heng, the chief soldier of Datong Town, has experienced the last incident, he already deeply hates Yu Qian, the benefactor of the past, and he has no heart to repay his kindness in the past, but he is the chief military officer appointed by Zhu Qiyu after all, and he is the emperor who has already abdicated the throne, and he can control the Xuanfu place, and he has already exhausted his efforts and exhausted his means.
Besides, if he really wants to stretch out his hand to other border towns, even if Zhu Qiyu doesn't speak, the other ministers of civil and military affairs will also be wary of seeing the past again, so Zhu Qizhen can only act in secret, and when he acts, he naturally seems to be constrained.
Therefore, Xuanfu, the governing office of Xuanfu Border Town, had to leave his henchmen to guard it, so as not to catch people off guard, and when the time came, Zhu Qizhen would regret it.
--------------------As for Jiang Fu, at least he is the nominal highest official in Xuanfu Town, Zhu Qizhen naturally has to take him in hand, this wants to be a mobile tiger talisman for troop transfer, and it is naturally more reassuring to pinch it in his hand, after all, Jiang Fu's surname is too soft, and Zhu Qizhen is not at ease to let him be in Xuanfu City.
As for Luo Hengxin, the civil official leader who is in charge of the affairs of the people's livelihood in Xuanfu, and the governor of Xuanfu who was recommended as the prince and young master, he has already become a confidant by Zhu Qizhen's domineering spirit.
On the march and fighting, it was useless for him to go, and Zhu Qizhen also happened to entrust him to take care of his own industries, and strictly prevent the gentry and officials of the Xuanfu from having different ambitions because of his departure, and destroying the good situation that he had created with great difficulty.
You must know that since Zhu Qizhen strictly ordered all the merchants who do business in the Xuanfu, whether your backstage boss or the owner is a scholar, or an official, they must all pay taxes according to the regulations, in addition, Zhu Qizhen has mastered the import and export trade channels between the Xuanfu and the grassland, integrated a large number of merchants, and induced those officials to buy all the shares, so that in the Xuanfu, the tax payment regulations that are not declared in the eyes of the officials and gentry have become a reality.
This is also an important reason why the tax paid by a small border town in Xuanfu has reached almost one-tenth of the annual tax of the entire empire of the vast Ming Empire. And Zhu Qizhen seems to have regarded Xuanfu Town as his first hometown in this era, or in other words, His Majesty the Emperor has regarded this place as an administrative experimental area for tax reform in the Ming Dynasty.
According to later generations, it is a special administrative region, anyway, it probably means that, this is the result of Zhu Qizhen's hard work for more than a year, and he doesn't want to be disturbed and destroyed in any way.
For this, Zhu Qizhen specially left Yuan Bin behind, and left two hundred people for Yuan Bin of the five hundred guards around him, plus the cooperation of the Xuanfu Jinyi Wei Qianhu, who has become Zhu Qizhen's loyal eagle dog, is equivalent to adding another insurance.
And at this time, Yuan Bin was standing behind Zhu Qizhen, with a pair of thick eyebrows locked, silent, for Zhu Qizhen to leave himself in Xuanfu, Yuan Bin still had some resentment in his heart, but after all, he knew that the important surname of Xuanfu was no worse than Wanquan Youwei, not to mention, Yuan Bin was also extremely confident in His Majesty's pro-army.
Perhaps sensing Yuan Bin's mood, Zhu Qizhen turned around and raised his hand to pat Yuan Bin's shoulder. "Aiqing, Xuanfu is in me, it can be said to be the cornerstone of me, and it must not be lost, otherwise, I am afraid that it is heaven and earth, and then heaven and earth can accommodate me."
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, and continued: "This victory counts, I have ten percent, and then the subsequent action, whether it is successful or not, I have a thirty percent chance of winning......
Hearing this, Yuan Bin's heart tightened. "Why is Your Majesty not waiting for time, why is he in such a hurry?"
"Time is not waiting for me, the opportunity is not waiting for it, but relying on oneself to get it, not to mention, now my good brother has made many mistakes, so that the monarchs and ministers of the court are separated, if it is at this time, I will not ...... Do you know what a good opportunity will be? ”
"Your Majesty is acting like this, after all, it is too risky." Yuan Bin couldn't help but sigh lightly. "Isn't there a way to have both, or or, after Your Majesty personally conquers the thorns, he will first return to the Xuanfu with a great victory, and then try to ......?"
"No, don't underestimate my good brother." Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and said a little coldly: "At this time, he always feels that I can no longer pose a threat to him, so he will stop like this, and when the time comes, if I wave my army north to the grassland, I will pacify my stubborn enemy of the Ming Dynasty." When he panics, he will try to thwart me. After all, he is the Son of Heaven, and I am just the Emperor of the Xuanfu Civil and Military Administration, and the imperial power is in his hands. ”
"After the big victory, he can reward the heroes in a big way, and then, I will be promoted one by one, and at that time, what can I do?"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's analysis, Yuan Bin couldn't help but gasp, yes, if Zhu Qiyu thought of this method, rewarded the meritorious ministers and appointed them to serve in other border towns, at that time, Zhu Qizhen's henchmen who had just gathered around him naturally let him scatter them completely, and at that time, Zhu Qiyu, who had already woken up, would naturally never let Zhu Qizhen have a second chance to cultivate his own power.
"Then since this trip is so dangerous, even if Your Majesty is coldly watching the internal struggle of Nawa Thorn and reaping the profits, why are you in such a hurry......" At this time, Na Luo Hengxin, who was standing on the other side of Zhu Qizhen, couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him.
More than a dozen Xuanfu officials behind him also looked at Zhu Qizhen with a puzzled expression, these officials had long known that they were already grasshoppers on a rope with Zhu Qizhen, and the benefits that Zhu Qizhen brought to them made them iron hearted and took the initiative to tie up with Zhu Qizhen.
-------------------- even if they are temporarily tied together, they have more small calculations in their hearts, but at least they know very well that if they don't want to follow Zhu Qizhen, their net worth will be ...... Although Zhu Qizhen had never warned them like this, or hinted at them, the henchmen around Zhu Qizhen quietly expressed this meaning to these officials. After all, they are not blind, so they can naturally see that Zhu Qizhen, who is wise and decisive, can be willing to stay here until he dies of old age?
More importantly, they also hope to see Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, have the opportunity to return to the peak of the imperial power, so that the benefits they have obtained can continue and even grow greatly.
Zhu Qizhen heard Luo Hengxin's words, and after thinking about it slightly, he slowly turned around, facing Luo Hengxin and other civil and military officials of the Xuanfu, although his voice was not high, but it revealed an indescribable resoluteness and decisiveness: "I was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the past, although I had the heart to defeat Yuanmeng and restore the glory of Taizong, but I didn't want to do what Zhao Tian did. Now, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Xuanfu is called the elite army, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and my stubborn enemy of the Ming Dynasty is on the verge of collapse. ”
"I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if only for personal gain, and ignore the peace of the people of the world, cold eyes to observe the chaos of the tile thorn, if there is no external force, the tile spur three or five years of opportunity, will be repeated and strong, at that time, the people of my Ming border town, will suffer from the war."
"In the past, I couldn't be a cold sidestander, and now I can't do the same, and I hope you will forgive me." Zhu Qizhen bowed to these Xuanfu civil and military chiefs and said earnestly.
Hearing these words, everyone present couldn't help but feel a sour heart, their eyes were hot, and they knelt down on the ground with Naluo Hengxin. "The ministers are frightened and dare not accept the gift of His Majesty."
"With Your Majesty's move, it is really a blessing for the people of my Ming Dynasty, and I hope that Your Majesty will soon say that Rong Rongdi, the shame of the Snow and Civil Fort, and raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty......" Luo Hengxin's voice was extraordinarily excited, at this moment, Zhu Qizhen's words made him understand that this Emperor Taishang was just a look and figure like Taizong in the past, and after his surname went through hardships, even this heart and ambition are no different from Taizong.
"If Da Ming can reproduce the prosperous era of Yongle, he will be the one in front of him......" Luo Hengxin's heart couldn't help but sigh with such emotion. What he didn't know was that Zhu Qizhen's ambition as a traverser was far more than that.
