On the issue of rectifying the border army, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and quickly locked on a name in his mind - Xiong Yanbi.

Xiong Yanbi has a hot temper and does not accumulate virtue, and his nickname is Xiong Stinky Mouth.

During the Wanli period, Xiong Yanbi supervised Liaodong, and the shape was very good, but it was a pity that as soon as the Donglin Party took power, he was taken down with the charge of "not entering the army" and replaced by Yuan Yingtai. As a result, in less than a year, Shenyang, an important town in eastern Liaodong, and Liaoyang, the capital of eastern Liaodong, fell one after another, Yuan Yingtai died, and all east of the Liaohe River fell into the possession of Houjin.

In history, Xiong Tingbi was called into the court, and was promoted to Liaodong Economic Strategy for the second time, but Xiong Da stinky mouth was really uninteresting, and the cabinet elders at that time, Ye Xianggao and Zhang Heming specially set up a banquet for him to eat, Xiong Tingbi talked with the two, and turned his face and said to others: "These are two big straw bales, and I don't know anything about Liao affairs." ”

Since then, Zhang Heming has become the sworn enemy of Xiong Da's stinky mouth, and then recommended Wang Huazhen to Tianqi as the governor of Liaodong. The two of them fought one main battle and one main defense, resulting in a situation of "economic disagreement", but the result of the dispute in the court was one-sided in favor of Wang Huazhen, and Wang Huazhen supported heavy troops to defend Guangning, while Xiong Tingbi supported the scriptures in vain, with only thousands of soldiers.

Xiong Yanbi will end up being rumored to be on the first nine sides, which is actually caused by that stinky mouth. Because when Wang Huazhen was defeated, Xiong Yanbi ran into him halfway and sneered, but when a group of Donglin Party discussed the crime in the court, although Wang Huazhen was defeated, the crime was not big, on the contrary, Xiong Yanbi gloated, and the crime was added to the first degree.

Xiong Yanbi, who forcibly carried the black cauldron, was finally beheaded. Wang Huazhen was beheaded during the Chongzhen period, and it is estimated that there was not much silver pressed at that time, and the Donglin Party completely abandoned Wang Huazhen.

Now that history has changed, Zhu Youxiao did not resurrect Xiong Yanbi in Liaodong, but let Sun Chengzong be the governor of Liaodong. Xiong Yanbi is still idle at home, and he has no chance to come out and spray again.

"Immediately draw up an order and summon Xiong Yanbi to Beijing for an audience." Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said to Li Chaoqing.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chaoqing picked up the brush and began to draw up the purpose. Zhu Youxiao wanted to summon Xiong Yanbi mainly to ask him about rectifying the border army. If Xiong Yanbi has a way, then let Xiong Yanbi do it. On the issue of rectifying military discipline, Xiong Yanbi is obviously an official who can be trusted.

The holy decree was prepared, Qian Guoxing took out the jade seal and covered it, and then sent it out.

"Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, said: Although Yu Chongming has been stranded in Chongqing for more than two months, although he is arrogant and domineering, it is really inappropriate to say that he intends to rebel."

In addition, Qin Liangyu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, has transferred more than 10,000 officers and soldiers with a holy oracle, and has been stationed in Chongqing in the name of rushing to help Liaodong. Qin Liangyu said that Chongqing's city defense has been consolidated, and it is absolutely impossible for Yu Chongming to conquer Chongqing. ”

There are two military chapters on the Sichuan side, one is sent by Xu Keqiu, and the other is sent by Qin Liangyu.

"Extravagant Chongming has been stranded in Chongqing for more than two months, and Xu Keqiu still dares to swear to me that it is impossible for extravagant Chongming to rebel?" Zhu Youxiao was really a little angry.

This Xu Keqiu is obviously an old fritter in officialdom.

As the governor of one party, if Yu Chongming rebelled, whether he could succeed in suppressing it or not, Xu Keqiu would be responsible. Therefore, in such a situation, bureaucrats like Xu Keqiu will first conceal the matter, and then find a way to send extravagant Chongming gifts out of the country, and more things are better than less things.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that allowed Hao Chongming to seize the opportunity in history, and directly killed more than 20 officials, including Xu Keqiu, in the name of performing martial arts, and led Sichuan to suddenly lose the top command personnel, and then quickly conquered Chongqing and other places.

Now seeing that the emperor transferred Qin Liangyu to Chongqing to preside over the city defense and strengthen the vigilance of the extravagant Chongming's subordinates, Xu Keqiu thought that even if extravagant Chongming wanted to rebel, he had to think about it now, and he would definitely not be able to rebel. So I started to prepare for the big things to be small, and the small things to be turned into small things.

Okay!

On the other hand, is it still a fuss?

So Zhu Youxiao hurriedly summoned Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian ran in in a hurry, and Zhu Youxiao said to him: "Among the officials in Sichuan, who can replace Governor Li Kezhuo?" ”

"Your Majesty, wait for the slave maid to summon the East Factory to inquire." Wei Zhongxian said that at this time, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have gradually had some clear division of labor.

Dongchang was mainly responsible for monitoring and investigating civilian officials, while Jinyiwei was responsible for monitoring and investigating military attachés and collecting military intelligence.

In addition to the division of labor in this area, other functions are still duplicated, and they all have various responsibilities in charge of public security and arrest.

"Emperor Qi, among the officials in Sichuan, Zhu Xie, the political envoy, has a clean reputation, and he has never used the name of fire consumption and so on." Wei Zhongxian took the file presented by the East Factory and read it, and said to Zhu Youxiaojian.

"Okay, I'll do it right away. When Xu Chongming stayed in Chongqing for more than two months, Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan, responded passively and did nothing. Zhu Youxiao immediately directly ordered Xu Keqiu to be.

Since this guy doesn't cooperate, and he's chirping, let's die! Zhu Youxiao thought to himself, even if he promoted an official casually, it was much better than Xu Keqiu!

Xu Keqiu, an inactive official, just took advantage of the extravagant Chongming topic to play a role and directly took him off. Li Chaoqing immediately prepared the holy decree, Qian Guoxing covered the jade seal, and then sent the holy decree out.

With these few movements, there is nothing to deal with.

The rest are some trivial things, as well as the routines of Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong, and Zhang Yan, reporting on the situation on the front line.

Sun Chengzong continued to strengthen the Quang Ninh defense line, because the weapons were provided by the royal military factory, and there were more soldiers and civilians who could be transferred to the front line to build fortifications, and with the sufficient supply of money and food, the construction of the Quang Ninh defense line was very fast, and it could be completed before the end of the year.

The Dongjiang Army sent additional guerrillas to Liaodong, and more than 3,000 soldiers went behind enemy lines.

In the Denglai area, a 'Royal Shipyard' and a joint venture shipyard are being formed, and Yuan Keli has immediately sent people to Fujian and Guangdong to transfer shipbuilders.

The shipyard was chosen in Denglai mainly because there is wood for shipbuilding in the Denglai area. If it is placed in a place such as Tianjin, there is no wood available at all, and it is more troublesome to transport it abroad, and large wooden ships have to be rented from private merchants.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the forest coverage rate in the north was far less than that of China in later generations, and the destruction was more complete. This is another reason for the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, as the loss of forests affects soil and water conservation. On the other hand, in the Yangtze River basin, the forest coverage rate of the southern provinces is better than that of later generations.

There is no shortage of giant trees in Fujian, Guangdong and other places, so it is more convenient to build ships.

At the same time, the 'Royal Shipping Company' was also established, and a large order was placed for a private shipyard in Fujian, and 30 ships of 3,000 were ordered, each priced at 12,000 taels of silver.

Qian Fatzi and Royal Capital also set up a joint venture shipping company, and the fat man named the company 'Hengchang Shipping Company'. Qian Fatzi invested 100,000 taels of shares with the sea ship in his hand and invested 100,000 taels, accounting for 20% of the shares. Royal Bank bought 400,000 taels, accounting for 80% of the shares.

As long as there are ships, large quantities of grain can be drawn from the southern provinces to the north, and the situation in the north can be stabilized.
