"Two million three thousand taels." Xia Yuanji spread his hands: "If you fight, it's gone." ”

He paid special attention to the word "one", which was to remind Zhu Di, Your Majesty, if you fight again, you will have no money.

“。。” Zhu Di.

Xia Yuanji saw Zhu Di's appearance, so he had no choice but to say: "This year's summer grain, there are still many places that have not been harvested, and the areas south of the Yangtze River are delaying. ”

The ministers were in an uproar, and this was another extremely important matter.

This year's summer tax is being delayed everywhere.

Why?

It's because we're at war.

Xia Yuanji didn't say it's okay, but when Zhu Di heard it, he felt that he was going to run away.

These gentry in Jiangnan are unreliable, and they all support the rebels.

Zhu Di thought for a while and waved his hand: "This matter will be discussed later, and we will retreat." ”

The court meeting ended in a hurry, and Zhu Di returned to Wuying Hall afterwards and convened a group of confidants such as Yao Guangxiao to discuss secretly.

There are more people in Wuyingdian today, and Zhu Di summoned Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Hui, Tan Zhong, Wang Cong, Xu Li, Tang Rong, Fang Sheng, Fang Kuan, Zheng Heng, Guo Liang and others.

After Huo Zhen and Wang Cong were defeated and retreated to Huguang, they first retreated to Changsha and then retreated to Wuchang, and then Wang Cong was summoned by Zhu Di to Beijing, and nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses of the two were taken by Huo Zhen, staying in Xiangyang and Chengtianfu to respond to the west wing of Wuchang.

Zhang Wu is still with Song Sheng, retreating to Guanzhong, and he doesn't dare to come back for the time being, and Zhu Di doesn't let him come back.

After the martyrdom of Cheng'an, Guo Liang, was stationed in Changping.

Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, first guarded Beiping after the Jingjing, and then stationed in Xuanfu.

After the martyrdom of Sien Hou Fangkuan, he was still stationed in Daning.

After Fuchang Bofang won the Jingjing disaster, he was stationed in Baoding.

After Wu Kangbo and Xu Lijing were martyred, they were stationed in Beiping.

The status of these people in Jingjing cannot be compared with Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, let alone the henchmen of King Yan, but the King of Han suddenly raised troops, the imperial court was defeated in the provinces, not to mention the losses, and there were not many generals available in Zhu Di's hands.

Moreover, after the Jingjing, these people were far away from Jingshi, did not have much contact with the King of Han, and had been stationed in the direction of Zhu Di's old nest in Beiping, so they gradually became the people Zhu Di believed in his heart.

Among them, Fang Kuan is a bit old, and he is in the same period as Zhang Yu, and he will die in two years in history, so he is now a veteran and his health is not good.

But Zhu Di has no one who can, so he can only use these people first.

At this time, Zhu Di was sitting quietly in place, and he didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

There was some silence in the main hall, and the generals looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound.

Yuan Heng was looking at everyone's faces, as if he was looking at the physiognomy.

Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and frowned, as if he was asleep.

After a long time, Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes, and Yao Guangxiao was sensed at the same time, and he also opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di seemed to be in a good mood, and he was not angry after the defeat, as if he was as calm as when he returned to Jingjing.

When Guizhou was defeated, Zhu Di was the most angry, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but have a knife in his hand, so he could only vent his anger by cutting someone first.

When he was defeated again in Guangxi, Zhu Di was speechless angrily, and his hair turned a lot gray overnight.

When the news of Sichuan's defeat came, Zhu Di seemed to get used to it.

It turns out that failure can also get used to it.

So now it seems that Zhu Di is not as angry as before, but Yao Guangxiao knows that if Song Sheng and Zhang Wu dare to run back, they will probably be slapped to death by Zhu Di.

Even if Zhu Di knew that it was Qu Neng's backlash that led to the defeat of the official army, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

"As you can see today, the civil officials are not in favor of returning to Beiping." Zhu Di said slowly.

The congregations were noncommittal.

Everyone knows that Zhu Di wants to move the capital, but in this situation, moving the capital when he is still fighting is very demoralizing.

To say that it sounds good is to move the capital, and to say that it is unpleasant is to run away.

This kind of thing is not something that ordinary emperors can do.

But they don't understand why Zhu Di, who seems to be eloquent and strategic, can make it.

If Zhu Gaoxu is here, he can tell the reason.

Because Zhu Di is thick-skinned.

He doesn't care about other people's eyes and what the world thinks, he only cares about his own interests and safety.

If at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Li Zicheng's troops came to the city, Chongzhen suddenly changed to Zhu Di, he would never be conceited and take his soldiers and horses out of Beijing to fight, but ran to Nanjing as soon as possible.

That's the difference between being shameless and being shameless.

The green mountains left are here, and I am not afraid of no firewood.

Sure enough, Zhu Di said again at this time: "I know what everyone thinks in their hearts, and I think this situation is a bit incredible." ”

"I actually want to use the matter of moving the capital to try the minds of the ministers."

"Now it seems obvious that most of the civil officials are not on the side of the court." When Zhu Di said this, he gritted his teeth a little.

The rebel suddenly announced a salary increase to win the hearts of officials and generals all over the world.

Many officials in the imperial court are already absent-minded.

Everyone will be speechless, and they won't know what to say.

"Moving in wartime is a taboo, and I also know that today is just a temptation." Zhu Di said at this time: "Now I can see that the civil officials are unreliable, or now you old brothers who are in trouble can be relied on." ”

At this time, Guo Liang was the first to speak, we lived and died together with Your Majesty, of course, we will always follow Your Majesty.

Zhu Di applauded loudly, and then said: "You are all meritorious deeds of Jingnan, the rebel son opposes Jingnan, if he enters the Beijing Division, everyone's lords will be deprived." ”

Everyone was noncommittal, and some people seemed to be unwilling.

Zhu Di saw it in his eyes and said: "I won't go back to Beiping until I have to, but everything must be prepared for a rainy day and make arrangements first." ”

Zhu Di gathered so many people today, just because he made two preparations.

On the one hand, the imperial court wanted to gather more soldiers and horses in Huguang again, and he would personally conquer the rebels and fight the rebels.

At the same time, in the direction of Beiping, strengthen the defense and consolidate the territory.

Now Zhu Di has also learned something from Zhu Gaoxu, and is determined to consolidate his hometown.

Guo Liang and Zheng Heng were all generals stationed near Beiping, Zhu Di reassigned them, and finally said: "You all take your family members out of Beijing and return to the cities where they are stationed, mobilize the people, and strengthen the city defenses." ”

He had already made up his mind that if Zhu Gaoxu attacked north in the future, he would inevitably let him attack one city after another, and the casualties would be huge.

In particular, the defense of Beiping should be strengthened, because I heard that the artillery on the rebel side is more powerful, and at the same time, Xu Li was asked to build more Hongwu cannons in the local area after returning to Beiping.

Xu Li nodded again and again.

Tang Rong was relatively young at the scene, and his father Tang Yun was also the first to follow Zhu Di back then, and he stayed in Beiping many times during the Jing Dynasty to assist the prince in defending the city, so Tang Rong now has a good relationship with the prince.

Zhu Di said, you take your family to Cangzhou and build Cangzhou City again.

Xu Kai guarded Cangzhou during the Jing disaster, Cangzhou was an earthen city at that time, Xu Kai wanted to strengthen the city, but it was winter, the soldiers and craftsmen couldn't stand it, and the Yan army suddenly attacked, and it was too late to reinforce, so it was broken, and Xu Kai also surrendered.

After the success of Jingnan, Zhu Di gave Xu Kai 2,000 ingots, and the left army was the governor of the affairs, which was basically idle, until he died, and never led any more soldiers.

After Zhu Di captured Cangzhou, he was afraid that the official army would come to strengthen it again, so he did not build it, and also demolished part of the official army's construction.

Now Zhu Di attaches importance to it again, because he knows that Cangzhou is one of the main roads for Shandong to enter Beiping.

When Xu Kai was stationed in Cangzhou, he was like a stalk in his throat, and he raided in the middle of the night, and he attacked Cangzhou at about 21 at night in later generations, so he didn't give Cangzhou time to repair the city.

After Tang Rong heard this, he immediately received the order, and his face was a little serious.

At this time, Guo Liang was pondering.

The family members of their generals are basically in the original garrison, and only the generals such as the Commander of the Metropolitan Department and the Chief Military Officer will have some of their family members staying in Beijing.

Now it's quite interesting for Zhu Di to say this?

He recalled that when he was in the midst of the Jingjing, Zhu Di sent a letter, telling him that he could run away if he couldn't fight, and send his family to Beiping first.

Guo Liang was moved to see it, and fought to defend Yongping like chicken blood, and the entire Jingnan was defeated for three or four years, and the official army Liaodong and Daning soldiers and horses had no way to take Yongping at all.

Xiao Yongping, he guarded for several years with thousands of people, kept the east gate of Beiping, made great contributions to the success of Jingnan, and was successfully named a marquis, so now at this juncture, Zhu Di said this kind of thing, and he immediately figured it out.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Guo Liang suddenly knelt down.

Zhu Di remained silent: "Cheng Anhou, you say." ”

"Beiping City is tall and majestic, easy to protect, Wechen wants to let his family live in Beiping City, so that Wechen can lead troops with peace of mind."

The corners of Tang Rong's mouth twitched, and he scolded in his heart, this Guo Liang, you are really, why did you say it.

Zhu Di obviously meant this, and deliberately said that he would let the generals bring their families to their respective places.

As soon as Guo Liang spoke, Zheng Heng hurriedly said, and Weichen also asked for so.

Then Fang Kuan, Fang Sheng, and Tang Rong knelt down one after another.

Yao Guangxiao looked at this picture and felt a little unreal.

He was thinking, if Zhu Yunwen killed Gu Cheng's family after the Battle of Zhending in the Jingjing Disaster, I don't know if there will be any officials and soldiers to surrender in the future?

Therefore, to be an emperor must be ruthless enough.

Yao Guangxiao was thinking about his thoughts, but Zhu Di was still in trouble, he was furious on the spot, I didn't want to take you hostages, I believed in my brothers.

However, the brothers must put their families, especially their sons and grandsons, in Beiping, and I must also protect them well.

Such cheeky words, it is estimated that only Zhu Di can say it.

But it's just right for Zhu Di to do this now.

The successive defeats of the officers and troops in Guangxi and Sichuan were all due to the rebellion and betrayal of some people.

So Zhu Di is doing this, everyone should be able to "understand", if you don't "understand", that's your problem, not my emperor's problem.

Of course, Zhu Di is still very smart, and after saying this, he promoted the children and nephews in each family, and rewarded silver, banknotes, silk and other things.

After bowing down and thanking him, the generals departed one after another.

After the generals left, in the Wuying Palace, only Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Hui were still there.

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di and asked cautiously: "Can we increase the number of officials in the world?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu announced that he would increase the number of sergeants and officials, and the matter was already full of turmoil, and the officials of the Beijing division were looking forward to it, and they were all counting on the imperial court to follow up and learn from the Han king.

Zhu Di, who had just calmed down, had a black face at this time and gritted his teeth: "The choice of the rebel son is really timely, and it is really treacherous." ”

In January this year, he ordered the construction of the Imperial City of Beiping, which was built exactly the same in terms of the size of the Imperial City of Nanjing, and the project was huge, and countless manpower, material and financial resources were mobilized.

A lot of money was invested by him in Beiping, and Zhu Gaoxu then rebelled, and then announced a salary increase, which disgusted him.

Now, how can he have any money to add money?

And with Zhu Di's personality, even if the court has money, he will not do this.
