Chapter 323: Endless Regret
When Yao Guangxiao saw Zhu Di say this, he knew that Zhu Di didn't want to give the officials and soldiers a lot of money.
Yao Guangxiao's expression was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything, glanced at Yuan Hui slightly, and lowered his eyelids helplessly.
Zhu Di thinks that there is no money, but the treasury has no money.
Yao Guangxiao thinks he is rich.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Hongwu, after the old Zhu Dingdu Nanjing, the inner library was set up, the inner library in the early Ming Dynasty was divided into 12 libraries, and it is also said that the ten libraries (the difference is not to put the treasury and the library for use in it), the inner library is the emperor's private property, which is responsible for the storage of gold and silver, the highest status in the ten libraries, the Ming Emperor in the reward of military generals, often to use the 'inner money' to reward silver thousand taels and the like, this inner treasury, is to refer to the inner carrier library.
So the emperor had private property.
Zhu Di still has a lot of private property.
Not to mention the savings when he was King Yan, Zhu Di was quite rich at that time, and he couldn't afford to fight without money, and he couldn't afford to support the soldiers and horses at that time.
In the Jing Disaster, the officials and troops were even broken in many cities, and every time they entered, they had to plunder wealth and use it as military expenses.
At that time, it was Zheng He who managed the warehouse of Yanwangfu for him.
After ascending the throne as the emperor, Zhu Di killed all directions, copied countless homes, and destroyed the nine clans at every turn.
In this way, Zhu Di made another small fortune.
There is a little money in the treasury of the palace, but how can Zhu Di use this money to add money for the officials of the world.
He preferred to give a silver reward to the soldiers he recruited, which was used to boost morale.
But in the whole Jingjing, after a few years of fighting, Zhu Di was large-scale, and there were only two times when he issued silver money to boost morale.
The first time was after the capture of the Nine Gates and the official declaration of rebellion.
One was the defeat of Dongchang, and in order to encourage morale, he went out again.
Therefore, Zhu Di is still more cautious when using money.
Now it is Wang Jinghong who is in charge of the internal transportation warehouse, and Zhu Di has never asked how much money there is, but Zhu Di is definitely unwilling to pay his own money to the officials.
And he knows that Zhu Gaoxu adds money to the officials of the world and all the soldiers and horses, which is a huge number, and the income of the Ming Dynasty is only how much a year, and he Zhu Di can pay for a month or two months, but he can't afford to pay year after year.
You definitely can't be led by the nose by the rebels.
"The rebel son is also drinking to quench his thirst, and he just wants to win people's hearts first, but there are so many officials in the world, so many soldiers and horses, he has all been paid, I want to see how long he can last." Zhu Di saw that Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Heng's faces were not good at this time, so he explained.
It's not that I don't want to add money, it's unnecessary.
Yao Guangxiao thought about it for a while, and nodded slowly: "The southwestern provinces are relatively remote and poor, and the grain production is small, and now in order to win the hearts of the people, he has announced that all the salaries will be raised, and he will definitely not be able to last long." β
"Even if we drag them on the front line of Huguang, after a long time, they will be defeated without a fight."
In the later period of Jingjing, Zhu Di had no food, not enough food, and if he didn't take the Beijing division directly, he was afraid that he would be defeated without a fight, so they decided to raid the Beijing division.
Now Zhu Gaoxu will not only have a crisis of running out of food, but also a crisis of running out of money, which is more dangerous than they were back then, so Yao Guangxiao believes that the Huguang battlefield can be delayed without rushing to a decisive battle.
Not only can the officers and soldiers slowly recruit troops, horses and materials, but also have the opportunity to drag down Zhu Gaoxu.
"So he robbed King Min, robbed King Jingjiang, if he guessed correctly, if he defeated Sichuan, he would rob King Shu." Yuan Jue said at this time: "The wealth of the King of Shu and the crown of the kings, Zhu Gaoxu must move him, otherwise he will have no money or food to support him in the war." β
Zhu Di said angrily: "The rebel son is the same as the robber, he will only rely on robbery, and he will not let go of the clan, and I must not let go of the rebel for the sake of my ancestors." β
"Just take this opportunity to spread the edict to the world, and ask the vassal kings of the world to see Zhu Gaoxu's face clearly." Yao Guangxiao finally said.
Zhu Gaoxu's salary for officials and soldiers in the world disgusted Zhu Di very well.
The court didn't have so much money to follow up, so it couldn't learn from him, and it couldn't be left alone.
So soon, an edict was sent to all parts of the country, the content of which was to announce to the world that Zhu Gaochu had treated the clan badly and robbed the wealth, and called on the clans of the world to rise up against Zhu Gaoyu.
The second is that Zhu Gaoxu is trying to win the hearts of the people now, and he will definitely have no money or food in the future.
Zhu Di didn't want to learn from Zhu Gaoxu's salary, and he didn't have the money or the ability to do so, but he counted on all clans to support him, and if he was willing to contribute money and food, it would naturally be better.
Most of the clans in Jingjing sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and no one ever supported the imperial court for money and grain.
Zhu Di hopes that Zhu Gaoxu's evil act of robbing the clan can completely awaken the clans in the world.
ββ
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the prince returned to the prince's mansion listlessly.
Zhu Gaochi hasn't slept well lately.
The imperial court was defeated in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Sichuan in a row, not to mention the loss of a large number of soldiers and horses, but also fattened Zhu Gaochu, and Zhu Gaochi felt as if Jingjing was going to happen again.
The key is that now Gao Xu has become the king of Yan, and they have become Jianwen.
After going to court today, Zhu Gaochi further felt disappointed.
His father wanted to move the capital, but Zhu Gaochi was strongly opposed, and in history he wanted to move back from Beiping, but he died early, so it didn't work out.
The broken place in Beiping is good for the world of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River.
"The prince is back." Zhang Wu was dressed beautifully, and appeared in front of Zhu Gaochi for the first time.
Zhu Gaochi raised his head, looked at it, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
The imperial court had received news that Zhang Fu was ambushed by the Yue people in Annam and disappeared, but everyone privately believed that Zhu Gaoxu did it.
And the Zhang family broke away from Zhang Yan for the first time before, and they were extremely ruthless.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think, if Zhu Gaochu entered the Beijing Division, wouldn't this Zhang Gao be the first to break off the relationship with me?
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Wu walked up to him flatteringly at this time, waved her hand and called the maid to hand over the cold towel.
In September, Jingshi was very hot, and the prince was so fat that he was already sweating profusely when he first came in.
She picked up the towel and helped Zhu Gaochi wipe her sweat while whispering: "I heard that the official army was defeated again in Sichuan-ββ β
"Go away." Zhu Gaochi pushed her away in disgust, and said in a deep voice: "There are still millions of troops in the imperial court, and it won't be long before Gao Xu jumps." β
Zhang Wu bit her lip lightly, with a strange expression.
Zhu Gaochi turned his head and saw her expression, and couldn't help but be even more angry: "What kind of expression do you have, the rebels haven't entered the Beijing division yet?" β
"Are you thinking that you should marry Gao Xu in the first place?"
"No, no, how could the concubine think so?" Zhang Wu almost cried, and quickly knelt down: "The concubine will always support His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Zhu Gaochi pushed her away again, pointed his finger at her, and said sharply: "If Gao Xu comes in, you will not have a good life, Gao Xu hates me to the bone, and it is extremely cruel, and then all of you will be killedββ"
He deliberately said that Zhu Gaoxu was so cruel, and it really scared Zhang Gaoxu's soul out of the body.
She looked at Zhu Gaochi in horror, and after a while, infinite regret and resentment welled up in her heart, and bean-sized tears rolled down.
"What are you crying about, I'm still a prince, it's really a broom star." Zhu Gaochi was even more angry when he saw her crying, and couldn't help but say, and stepped forward and raised his big fat palm.
"Horn" slapped Zhang Wu in the face.
"Wow" Zhang Wu fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
"Still crying, still crying." Zhu Gaochi rushed up and kicked a few times, Zhang Wu only knew how to cry, and followed him.
Looking at Zhang Gaochi's delicate body, powdery hair, and painful expression, Zhu Gaochi's expression suddenly became hideous.
He leaned over with a sneer, tore it hard, and directly tore Zhang Wu's thin dress to shreds.
"Let you cry, make you cry-" Zhu Gaochi was like crazy, and he poured out the fear in his heart fiercely.
After he finished diarrhea, Zhang Wu was already crying and had no strength, her face was like a dead corpse, her eyes were desperate, she looked at the roof emptyly, and endless regret welled up in her heart.
I shouldn't have robbed my sister in the first place, it was originally my turn to marry King Han, why, why? Her tears rolled out again uncontrollably.
Zhu Gaochi staggered to his feet, glanced at her coldly, turned around and walked out of the room.
It was hot, he was just sweating, and he wanted to take a shower.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhong came to report, and Liu Sheng and Chen Mao came to the door to ask for a meeting.
Zhu Gaochi seemed to hear that the two of them were going to lead troops to the battle, and after thinking about it, he came to the front hall.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." The two generals stepped forward to greet each other.
Zhu Gaochi obviously felt that the expressions of the two were a little flat, and they were not as enthusiastic and flattering as they were when they first came to the door.
When the two first came to the door, the imperial court was only just defeated in Guizhou.
At this time, three provinces have lost in a row.
Sure enough, victory or defeat can affect everything.
Zhu Gaochi said weakly: "Sit down and serve tea." β
Liu Sheng and Chen Mao glanced at each other, thanked the prince first, and then said one after another, they were going to go on an expedition and led their troops to Huguang to quell the rebellion, so before leaving, they came to meet the prince.
Zhu Gaochi said in a good voice, you fight hard, don't let the rebels be so arrogant, I am in Beijing, waiting for your triumphant return.
The three of them chatted for a while.
The prince slowly quieted down.
Liu Sheng and Chen Mao didn't dare to speak, the two looked at each other, considering whether to leave.
Suddenly.
Zhu Gaochi looked up at Liu Sheng.
"Liu Sheng, you followed Zhang Fu in your early years, and you can be regarded as a confidant of my father."
Liu Sheng lowered his head and didn't even dare to say it.
Zhu Gaochi asked again: "Zhending battle, have you participated?" β
Liu Sheng said: "The last general was also there at that time. β
At that time, he was only one of the hundred households guarded by King Yan, and he was also inconspicuous, and followed Zhang Yu as a personal soldier of one hundred households.
"Then I ask you, do you know one thing?"
Liu Sheng looked at the prince unconsciously.
"Reluctantly, the son of the world is sick." Zhu Gaochi's face showed a faint unhappy expression: "Is it true?" β
He asked Yao Guangxiao and Yuan Hui, but he was still willing and wanted to ask again.
βγγβ Liu Sheng and Chen Mao were stunned.
It seems that the crown prince also read the book of King Wu.
How is this answered? Liu Sheng sweated on his forehead in an instant.
Fortunately, he was very decisive, I really wasn't there, and I didn't hear about it.
"The last general doesn't know about this, and he has never heard Rong Guogong say about it, and the Han -ββ rebelled against the king Zhu Gaoxu, and he must be talking nonsense and sowing discord."
Chen Mao also hurriedly said: "The traitor is treacherous, and he has many plans, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not believe it." β
Can I believe my father's words? Zhu Gaochi roared in his heart, he deceived King Ning, who in the world didn't know.
