Chapter 368: The Seventeenth Mission: Zhaozong Restored Tang 11

Zhu Quanzhong is very concerned about the movements of the small court in Chang'an. He always wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Therefore, he did everything possible to calculate the fools in the court.

But recently he miscalculated, the little emperor he never paid attention to, after two years of hibernation, he successfully turned the tables and solved a group of princes in Guanzhong without blood.

Although he never took the small feudal towns of Guanzhonglong seriously. I think that when he was still messing with Huangchao Wang Xianzhi, what Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, which was not his subordinate defeated, was chased like a rabbit by himself.

That is, he has no time to deal with them now, and when he takes Xuzhou and moves westward, he has to beat them to call him Dad.

This is indeed the case in history, when Li Maozhen bullied the Chang'an Imperial Court, he showed off his might. But when facing Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong, he was completely powerless to fight back. was first beaten by Li Ke with an all-round hanging. and then was pressed to the ground by Zhu Quanzhong and rubbed, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart.

However, to Zhu Quanzhong's surprise, even he himself was not sure that he would be able to annex the towns of Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and it was inevitable to fight a few tough battles. It was these forces that were solved by the emperor's soldiers without blood.

The whole process sounded a bit absurd, except for Han Jian's family, who lost their heads, the other feudal towns were all gathered by the emperor in Chang'an and were well-behaved students.

It's incredible, whether the emperor has any demon law, Zhu Quanzhong doesn't know. But the natural righteous name occupied by the emperor must have played a very important role in it.

The emperor cheered up, which was not a good thing for a careerist like Zhu Quanzhong, at least he wanted to enter the customs to force the emperor to move the capital, and coerce the Son of Heaven to completely bankrupt the princes' plans.

The war in the Kanto region continues, and the areas that have temporarily restored peace are exhausted. Lu Renbing felt very satisfied. Fight it, just hit the dog's brain.

The 20 prefectures under Lu Renbing's rule have basically resumed production, and there is no bumper harvest, but the recovery of vitality is visible to the naked eye. The Chang'an city wall has also been completely restored. The trade routes with the Western Regions, Bashu, and Jingxiang also began to recover, and the emperor's authority began to gradually recover.

The prime ministers of the court no longer dared to despise Lu Renbing, the reason, of course, was Lu Renbing's East Factory, and Jinyiwei began to exert his strength. Mr. Lu did not give the two agencies the power to enforce the law. However, the function of intelligence gathering has been strengthened.

Elsewhere, it's hard to say, at least in Chang'an City, full coverage has been achieved. Especially in the official family, it is already fully covered.

If Lu Renbing wanted to, the two institutions could even dig out what was discussed between a certain official and his wife's bed.

In order to deal with the intelligence obtained by these two agencies, Lu Renbing even set up two special secretariats for intelligence analysis.

Using the intelligence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Lu Renbing launched an officialdom purge plan under his rule, and got rid of dozens of nail officials buried by the very powerful Kwantung princes. Then he cleaned up a gang of corrupt officials.

Dozens of cases of fraud involving the imperial examinations were also investigated and dealt with. A bunch of heads really shocked the bureaucrats up and down Chang'an.

The clan, the lord, the civil official, and the eunuch all had their heads hung on the city gate, and the atmosphere of Chang'an City instantly improved a lot. What everyone is afraid of is not the beheading, the evidence of the crimes of these slain officials was directly thrown by the emperor to the ministers, and the evidence is conclusive and indisputable.

What does this mean, the emperor has a special power in his hands that can bypass the imperial court, and they can no longer fool the emperor as they did in the past. They were in front of the emperor, almost transparent.

Prime minister, the ministers did not want the emperor to have such power at all, so they made several fierce protests to get the emperor to hand over this behind-the-scenes force. Well, Lu Renbing took the opportunity to put Jinyiwei and Dongchang on the bright side.

Well, Lu Renbing is so frank, I just want to use these two institutions to spy on you, what do you like. By the way, it shows all kinds of black materials collected by the Jinyi Wei of the East Factory, the prime ministers, important ministers, and their families. If you seriously investigate it, there is no longer a problem with what the clan is condemning.

Lu Renbing promised that he would not engage them because of these black materials, but the premise was that they would no longer chase after Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

As a result, the buttocks were not clean, and the civil officials and military generals all succumbed to Lu Renbing's obscenity.

Well, since then, the ministers have two more enemies, that is, the secret services. Lu Renbing gave Dongchang Jinyiwei limited law enforcement powers this time, making them fight even harder.

Officials who did not have reverence were detrimental to the emperor's rule. Anyway, the ministers just can't get used to it.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Gyeongbook, well, yes, it was changed again. I don't know what the ministers think, Lu Renbing never messes with the ministers in these little things, and he loves it. And then there's the amnesty.

Carefully calculated, Lu Renbing has been in this world for four years.

Li Keyong continued to use troops in Hebei, and Zhu Quanzhong continued to attack Shi Pu. Lu Renbing had the intention to help Shi Pu and let him consume more of Zhu Quanzhong's strength. It's a pity that it's really beyond the reach of the whip. It can only be a few more edicts, telling the Kwantung princes to be peaceful and not to fight. Well, it's actually schadenfreude.

This year, Lu Renbing had already sent the forces of Dongchang Jinyiwei to various feudal towns. A nationwide network is about to take shape.

After two consecutive years of peace, the land of Guanzhong recovered rapidly, and trade with the Western Regions, Tibet, Dangxiang, grassland, Bashu, and Jingxiang also began to flourish. The tea and horse trade, the silk trade, the salt iron, cotton porcelain and other trades began to flourish.

Lu Renbing formulated a more rational trade policy and vigorously set up industry and commerce. Finance and taxation began to have a surplus, and the warehouse began to be enriched.

There are already people who have come to take the exam and have begun to write poems to praise the prosperity of Jingfu. Refugees from all over the Kanto region also began to pour into Guanlong, and Lu Renbing had already dealt with this kind of thing, and the refugees were diverted from all over the country and assigned to the military camp. In this era, no matter how many people there are, it is not too much. There is land, but what is lacking is the people who cultivate it.

In the first year of Jingfu, Lu Renbing continued to recuperate, and Chen Jingxuan of Bashu wrote to the imperial court several times, asking the emperor to send troops into Shu to destroy Wang Jian's rebels.

Lu Renbing held back. He is still waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Tian Lingzi and Wang Jian to have a conflict. Then he took Sichuan Shu without blood. He doesn't like to dance and move guns.

His army was well trained, and his generals had a strong desire to fight. Lu Renbing often transferred troops from various places to Chang'an to conduct exercises. The Forbidden Army and the Frontier Army often fought each other. There is a reward for winning and a penalty for losing. The border army, the forbidden army is transferred according to the results. Only the winning troops are eligible to join the forbidden army and defend Chang'an. If you lose, you go to the side stuff and eat sand.

Lu Renbing also attached special importance to the army's logistical construction, and the special logistics department was responsible for the distribution and management of ordnance, armor, and horses, and the staff training system was also established and perfected. Anyway, in strict accordance with the system of decentralization, improve the army.

While ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army, it is also necessary to ensure that all the army is under his own control.

Lu Renbing can pack a ticket, and his army can beat any of the feudal town troops. But he didn't want to fight for nothing. At least in the land of Bashu, he is confident that he can easily take it, and the passes of Bashu are all in his hands. There is no pressure to take Bashu, but it is not worth shedding too much blood.
