Things went on in such an orderly manner, the capital was pinched to death by Zhu Houxi, Gu Dayong directly closed the city and arrested people, who would dare to make a mistake?

However, it is impossible for the city of Beijing to be sealed all the time, there will always be a time when the closure will be lifted, and after the closure is lifted, a large number of stranded merchants will leave the capital, and it can be expected that the time in the future will not be peaceful.

Of the remaining five armies, Zhu Houxi kept two in case of emergency, and all the rest were scattered to suppress possible public opinion and rebellion in the country.

If he could, he wanted to send all five of them, but he couldn't, although he didn't care, but if the troops in Beijing City were empty, once something went wrong, it would be very troublesome, very troublesome, his hometown was stabbed, how could the soldiers outside fight?

So sometimes, although he doesn't care very much, but he has to stay around enough troops, this position in the capital is really a bit embarrassing, too close to the border, it's really not difficult to sneak in.

The strength of the two armies of more than 40,000, plus the Imperial City Guards, and the Twelve Guards, can also make up nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, although the combat power of the 60,000 miscellaneous troops may not be good, but this is the base camp of the Jinyi Guard.

But if Qi Jingtong is not dead and can let 200,000 troops in, Lao Tzu doesn't have to wait for him to come back, let him decide on his own.

Gu Dayong is really catchy this time, mainly because those scholars don't have much backbone, sometimes a large number of relatives are implicated, and there are groups of people who want to come to the door to explain the law, anyway, Gu Dayong has always been a person who does not refuse to come to the door for this kind of performance sent to the door.

Of course, this is only for now, and after the adjustment, there are many innocent people, or there are people outside, if it is not too deeply involved, they are basically released, but there are still a large number of students who have been removed from their reputations.

As for the officials involved, they are basically released from the official ranks, so there is no need to investigate little by little, just take it as a small punishment and a big warning, and expect them to work.

As for Yan Song's side, he and Yang Tinghe worked hard for a month to finally count the officials at all levels and clear some unnecessary duties, and then those officials should be arrested, rewarded, and sent away, which can be regarded as relatively satisfying.

The salaries of officials at all levels have also been introduced, and Zhu Houxi, an official in the capital, directly doubled it with a wave of his hand, and as for the outside, it rose by 50 percent first.

It seems to be peaceful, but Zhu Houyu received the news that there are people making trouble in various places, and there are also remarks advocating rebellion, but fortunately, Zhu Houyu arranged it early, and directly suppressed the momentum of possible expansion, arrested a group of people, and killed them directly in the local area.

Although it was suppressed, but all parts of the country were also disturbed by such a high-pressure policy, and the people were circulating the remarks that His Majesty was a tyrant, which was naturally inseparable from the guidance of people with good intentions.

In this regard, Zhu Houxi doesn't care, or it's useless to care, he can't control this thing at all, he doesn't have enough control over the following, and it's just a matter of adding trouble, but he believes that there are still smart people, and many of his measures are very good for ordinary people, but it is difficult to fully implement them below.

"Eh, it's finally done, Lord Yang, we can rest for a while." Yan Song stretched his waist, he finally got it, it's really not easy.

To be honest, this period really kept him busy, the promotion assessment of all officials, and the detention or release of some officials, it was all his own work, and now he suddenly understood what Yang Shen said, Your Majesty is really a person to use, he is really too young.

Of course, fortunately, he was quick to move his eyes and hands quickly, and directly dragged Yang Tinghe into the water, otherwise he would have been busy during this time, although there was a little problem now, but the problem was not big, and the matter was almost solved, although it was a little busy.

"Hehe, hehehe." Yang Tinghe pursed his lips, you are embarrassed to say, obviously you pulled me to work, if it weren't for the sake of selling His Majesty's face, do you think the old man is willing to stay, you dog thing, it's really a dog.

2k

"Eh, Lord Yang don't want to be like this, in this way, today I will be the east, invite Yang Ge Lao to have a meal, this time is thanks to Yang Ge Lao." Yan Song squinted, eh, how can I say it, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, your son and we have such a good relationship, right, don't be so outside.

"Forget it, the old man is going home, these things are over, you can get it yourself, your old man can't afford to eat, don't pit the old man next time." Yang Tinghe is the same as hiding from the plague god, this guy is now the same as the plague god, basically no one will like it.

Of course, everyone doesn't like it, and it's not a bad thing for Yan Song, there is no way back also represents His Majesty's trust, there are gains and losses, Yang Tinghe and himself will definitely not choose this path, and they will not let their son be like this, but Yan Song, he is really hard to say, after all, he did it, and he reached the peak of power in such a short period of time, very decisive and capable.

"Eh, Yang Ge Lao is so ruthless, I didn't do anything to be sorry for Yang Ge Lao, you are like this, it makes me very sad." Yan Song shook his head helplessly, alas, this old fox really doesn't do much at all, he still wants to pull Yang Tinghe to do something else, this situation, it seems that it will not work.

"Come on, you, you can also change to someone else, don't always hold on to the old man, the old man is not young, he has worked for such a long time, he has to go back to rest and rest, don't bother me in the last few days, I thank you." Yang Tinghe didn't give any face.

The two of them have been in the cabinet for a month, and the exchanges are not small, Yang Tinghe still recognizes Yan Song's ability very much, of course, this guy's cheekiness is definitely the same as what he has, if you give a little sunshine, it will be brilliant, and if you give it a little flood, it will be flooded.

"Haha, Lord Yang looked at you and said, am I so unbearable, we can be regarded as colleagues anyway, and my relationship with Yongxiu is also good, so let's do it, it's not too early, I'll send it to Lord Yang." Yan Song shrugged his shoulders, look at it, look at it, it's hard to be a good person.

"It's just a send-off, what the old man doesn't recognize, you can find a few other people to deal with the rest of the matter, others will look for me and say I'm sick, you let the old man stop for a few days, it's been two months, and the old man is not young anymore." Yang Tinghe rolled his eyes, do you think the old man is still the same as you now, the old man is old, he can't stand it anymore, if you are like this again, the old man can't hold it.

"Harm, look at what you said, just say send it away, there is no other meaning, and ah, the old man, you should be old and strong, where is this, how can you say that you are old, this first assistant will be no problem for another twenty years." Yan Song sees that this guy is not fooled, and there is no way, it seems that the rest of the things can only be relied on by himself, it is difficult.

"Be the first assistant for another twenty years? Then you don't hate the old man to death. Yang Tinghe glanced at Yan Song meaningfully.

Yan Song did not hide his desire for power at all, of course, he also showed his ability unscrupulously, he believed that the day when Yan Song would be the first assistant would not be far away, and when His Majesty freed his hands, maybe next year, or the year after tomorrow, it was natural for Yan Song to be the first assistant, and he really wanted to occupy the pit and not, isn't this disliked.

"Haha, how can I be." Yan Song only smiled after hearing it, everyone knew it, why did they say it so clearly.

This time is also a test given to him by His Majesty, can you handle this matter well, this is a very test of ability, although Your Majesty needs loyalty, at that time he values ability more, as long as it is a capable person, even if it is disloyal, Your Majesty will use it, so what about capable and loyal people?

"What's going on?" In the Qianqing Palace, Lu Fang and the three of them were all at this time, and they were also busy during this time, but Huang Jin did not participate, Zhu Houxi specially approved, anyway, it is better to practice hard to deal with government affairs, not to mention, just one month, it is really a little better, this guy can't really be a genius of Buddhism.

"It's not good, but it's not bad at the moment, Your Majesty dealt with it in a timely manner, and the people from Gu Gonggong's East Factory assisted from the side, there was basically no chaos in several major provinces, although there were some words among the people, but the problem was not big, as long as it took a while, public opinion would be suppressed." Chen Hong hurriedly stepped forward, he was crazy and busy during this time, and the whole person was a lot haggard, but he was also happy to do it, His Majesty was completely disappointed in Huang Jin, and he had no opponent, wouldn't it be very good.

"Well, you can't relax, it's time to stop now, but if there is any external stimulation, these guys don't necessarily stop, what did Qi Jingtong say?" Zhu Houxi nodded slightly, there are too many things, the country has just stopped, and the Tatar side has begun to stop again, he has received a lot of reports these days, there are small forces invading the border, fortunately, Qi Jingtong arrived early, but there is no loss.

After a few small battles, Qi Jingtong must have suffered a little loss, the other party is mainly cavalry, he is an infantry on his side, and now he must not dig out the bottom of his family, they are all recruits who have not been on the battlefield, and it is normal to suffer a little loss, and after a few battles, it is a little wrong, but if you want to really transform, you still have to fight a big battle.

To tell the truth, Zhu Houxi wants to fight or not, he is confident that he can win, but he is really afraid that some people will drag his feet, this is really afraid, once there is any major mistake, it will be a situation of no return, and the whole north may have to miss at that time, and there is no problem for him to be forced to evacuate Nanjing.

The point is that the laboratory of Nuoda under the city of Beijing is just abandoned? These are all family funds, and it is hard to save up, and it is really very difficult to rebuild, and it is not that you can't turn over there, but the progress will be very slow at that time, and it will be a long-term confrontation at that time.

Of course, the benefits of winning are also very great, and he is also more confident in the court, after a battle, many things can be implemented, and even if it is possible to complete the battle, after solving the external troubles, you can directly deal with internal worries, and when the reform is so opened, Daming directly installed the booster and took off on the spot.

Lu Fang also stepped forward to reply, he has been having a headache about this matter recently, and all kinds of signs indicate that this is really going to fight.

General Qi replied, in several small-scale contacts, although the Ming army had small losses at the beginning, but the strength of the recruits after seeing and standing was still not weak, not only did they suffer losses, but they also played an advantage. However, what they encounter is generally cavalry, they can fight if they can fight, and then grab things, and run away after grabbing, they can't beat General Qi, and they are not easy to chase, but overall we are still in an advantage. ”

Lu Fang still expressed his appreciation for the combat effectiveness of Qi Jingtong's army, since the Battle of Tumubao, the Ming army has not pulled its crotch for a day or two, at most to maintain a situation of self-preservation, there are still not many fights like this, Qi Jingtong still wants to take the initiative to attack, but he was rejected by His Majesty.

"Well, what are the odds that you'll definitely fight?" Zhu Houyu nodded slightly, he had also seen Qi Jingtong's recitals, it was not fake, and the morale was okay, the reason why he didn't let him take the initiative was because of experience, after all, Qi Jingtong commanded a large-scale battle for the first time, what if he suffered a loss, Zhu Houyi still wanted to fight a wave of defensive counterattacks.

"I'm afraid that there are eighty or ninety percent, from all indications of the other side, I am afraid that there will be a big war, and many tribes in Tatar died a lot of cattle and sheep last winter, according to the custom, there must be a fight, otherwise their people will not be able to survive the next winter, and our side ......"

Lu Fang didn't continue, rumors have spread under the recent turmoil in the court, it is the best time to attack, and it is normal to say that there will be traitors to report the news.

"I know, the logistics can be guaranteed when it starts, right?" Why didn't he know this, if he wasn't afraid that someone would pull him back, he would have let Qi Jingtong take the initiative a long time ago, but some people are not of the same mind as himself, what can Zhu Houxi do, although he took this opportunity to clean up the officialdom, but he couldn't spur it for the time being.

"Yes, there is no problem at all, according to His Majesty's orders, potatoes and sweet potatoes have begun to be promoted, and the yield is very high, although it is not suitable for storage, but there is no problem with eating and wartime use."

"Well, that's good, then wait, if the other party wants to fight, then fight, don't hurt them, and treat me as mud." Zhu Houxi's face showed a fierce light, now Yang Shen's side has become a war factory, constantly building wartime materials, those hot air balloon grenades and cannons or something, are secretly transported to Qi Jingtong's side, for this battle, Zhu Houxi can be regarded as painstaking.

The main thing is that you can't lose this battle, it doesn't matter if you don't win, but you can't lose this is the most important thing, and it doesn't make sense to hide any family background, and if you lose, you'll have nothing.
