Everything that is being debated around tribute is, in fact, a question of war and peace.

Zhu Houzhao and Dai Shan, Huang Wenyou and others are grinding their tongues, just to clarify the truth, that is, to let the Hongzhi Dynasty and the ministers understand that in the near future, the Ming Dynasty will face this headache enemy.

This is not a matter of whether the Ming Dynasty can open a big provocation or not, unless the monarch and the ministers kneel down together, otherwise people will come to bully you.

So, of course, all this is not just as simple as taking a mission of 500 people.

"The whole army?"

"Yes, Erchen does mean the whole army."

Since Hongzhi ascended the throne, he has not been a bad emperor, he has always wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, but he is limited by his ability and vision, and what he can do is what the civil officials told him.

Now that Zhu Houzhao has proposed something new to him, things will be different again.

"How?"

"Father, the son has seen the income of the imperial court's military tun, it is a lake account, and it is extremely difficult to pull out this account. However, the sharp drop in the grain supply in the military cantonments also directly shows that the corruption in the border army has reached a shocking level, so if we want to reorganize the army, we can only start anew with four words."

It is a fact that most of the land in the military cantonment has been annexed, and the guard system has been destroyed to a considerable extent, and the border army, which was originally both a soldier and a civilian, is now a landless and bitter haha, and its combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.

In the Beijing camp, the 12th regiment battalion has the same 'peace disease' as the Shangzhi pro-army, and it is no longer as brave as it was back then.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of time, corruption, and a decline in combat effectiveness.

Emperor Hongzhi roughly understood, "The prince's meaning is to set up several battalions in addition to the twelve regimental battalions and reorganize the exercises."

"Yes, but the number of people must be drawn from the twelve regiments and battalions themselves, and only the brave soldiers will be selected, even if only 30,000 people are selected, then our father and son must recognize it, and beyond that, it is nothing more than re-recruitment."

The emperor asked, "But the north of the Ming Dynasty stretches for thousands of miles, and if you only use these tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it seems that you can't do anything. For example, if we are stationed in Datong, then the Tatars can be in Xuanfu Koubian."

"Father, how to attract the enemy's main force is a matter of tactics. But whether our father and son have such a force is a matter of strategy. Take 10,000 steps back and say, the little prince only hits the weak point, then we can at least keep the Beijing division safe. As long as the Beijing division is safe, we will have the time and strength to sort out the bad accounts of the border army, and one day, the Ming defense line will be full of elite soldiers. Moreover, the purpose of starting a new stove is not only for the Tatars, but also for the military department."

At present, the 12 th regiments and battalions of the Beijing Army not only do not have strong combat effectiveness, but are also directly managed by the military department in terms of personnel and finance. Objectively, the imperial power was weakened.

And Zhu Houzhao wants to pull out the elite from it.

Naturally, there will be opposition to this,

But what if the threat of the Tatars was imminent?

What if you don't do that?

"External contradictions can sometimes be transformed into help to solve internal problems, but my father still remembers that his sons never do things without a head. Although the food and drink of 500 people is a lot of money, but if it is said that for this little bit of silver, it is not worth it, those literati shouted for the sky and the earth, and scolded the prince in their hearts for misleading the country, where did they think about it, the sons have long thought about this section." ….

"In addition, Erchen also thought that the Tatar Koubian was the set goal of the little prince, and they thought that it was to restore the glory of the Great Yuan, and it had nothing to do with whether we were polite or not. So this Tatar mission can be offended, this thing is not done in vain, but it is done, not only to save money, but to tie everyone to the chariot, and now everyone knows that the Tatars have offended, and there is no choice."

"Then the father can tell them that the Tatars will be as fast as a year or two, or as slow as three or five years, and they will be massively invaded. So, of course, we need to reorganize the army!" Zhu Houzhao seems very simple to say, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't think about this section at all.

"It turns out that Zhao'er also deliberately offended the Tatars?!"

"Sort of...... Seven points on purpose."

The Emperor's heart was shaken

, ancestors blessed, his son was born, it's really amazing!

"When the army is organized, the elite must be drawn from the twelve regiments and battalions, and they are no longer listed in the military department, but directly belong to the emperor, Taizu and Taizong have done this, and of course the father can also. The military department only has the administrative power to investigate, sort out, and store the household registration and other materials of these soldiers, and no longer has the right to transfer these elite troops. In this way, the authority of my father as emperor will be greatly enhanced."

The book of the saints probably does not write about such political struggles,

Liu Jian and Wu Kuan, the teachers of the Hongzhi Emperor, were all defenders of science, and of course they would not teach the Hongzhi Emperor.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi was either born to know it, or he had a blind spot in knowledge.

Now it's different, he has a son!

"Only then will I be a true emperor!"

Zhu Houzhao poured this chicken soup well, and Hongzhi was already excited.

"My father is a true emperor in his own right. But ......"

"But what?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "But if you have the help of your sons, my father will be like a tiger."

"Haha, that's good! I and the crown prince are called real father-son soldiers!"

Emperor Hongzhi's heart flowed with a warm current,

He also reads history books, how many emperors and princes have had tragic endings in ancient times? There are too many examples of a family becoming enemies.

But he was lucky,

Last time, he specially ordered the prince to lead the soldiers and horses of the first battalion of Tengxiang Zuowei, but in fact, this is unreasonable.

The crown prince led the army, which was a sign of rebellion in most dynasties.

But after that, the prince didn't show much enthusiasm for this battalion of soldiers and horses, but it was just a lot of practice.

And that Nanning Bo Mao Rong is really useless. The emperor had been waiting for his son to come and say a replacement, but he was still using it.

Now that I think about it, the reason why the crown prince is like this is because he is not thinking about how to do anything in this camp and 5,000 people, but because he is looking at a higher place, on how to strengthen the emperor's authority.

How so?

There is only one reason.

Because the crown prince knows that the heavier the emperor's authority, the heavier the prince's authority will naturally be. Behind this is a kind of trust, a family affection.

The crown prince's mind is planning for his father.

Thinking of this, how could Emperor Hongzhi not be moved as a father?

He hugged his son tightly in his arms, and he really felt that the prince usually said that father and son were one. ….

"I, I should have trusted the prince from the very beginning, but unfortunately I didn't expect this section, and I thought Zhao'er was reckless this time."

Zhu Houzhao smiled, he didn't care about this, "But, even if my father thinks that his son is reckless, it's up to his son, isn't it? Erchen has long said that son-in-law and father-emperor are father and son, because father-emperor is the emperor, son-in-law can be the prince, and if the father is good, son-in-law is good. The son is the father of the emperor, that is, for himself, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the ancestors' country. It is precisely because of this trust that the sons sometimes dare to rush into power, and occasionally trespass."

"In front of foreign ministers, you should pay attention to some etiquette. But there is not so much attention to between me and the crown prince, I ...... In fact, I envy the father and son of the farmer, so that there is family fun...... It's also good now, though. Zhao'er, if you have anything to do in the future, just let go of your hands and feet and do it. Sooner or later, this position will still be yours, and I can see that you are more capable than me."

Zhu Houzhao was slightly moved when he heard this.

His view of power is actually not as soft as that of Emperor Hongji.

But now an emperor said such a thing, so that he was somewhat convinced...... There is family affection in front of power.

"Erchen, I'm afraid he is the happiest prince since ancient times."

These words made the emperor feel warm, and he patted the child's back, "If I am not the emperor, and you are not the prince, we don't have to pay attention to the affairs of the world, but it's good."

"Father," Zhu Houzhao came out of his embrace, "Son, there is really something to ask for from Father

Purpose."

"Yes, there is no need to ask for a decree."

Hongji is now the son who trusts him infinitely.

"Father, my sons and daughters have a lot of things to do now, but I feel that there are not enough people. Especially Zhang Yong was sent to Zhejiang by Erchen, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back this year. Therefore, the sons thought, can the sons and daughters use the one factory and one guard led by the father and the emperor at the same time? If there is a major decision, the son-in-law must report to the father first, but for some small ones, the son-in-law usually does this master, right?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought of a verse, "But last time, that Mu Bin didn't listen to you?"

"Father, don't get me wrong, Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and the sons and daughters don't blame Commander Mu."

Zhu Houzhao felt that the heat was almost over, first of all, ability, Hongzhi should never doubt it now, and the more important thing was actually the relationship.

Originally, he was also confident. But today, under the suggestion of this whole army, he believes that Hongji will not refuse.

"Xiao Jing," the emperor turned to the old eunuch and instructed, "you go and call Mu Bin and Chen Yue."

One of these two people is the commander of Jinyiwei, and the other is the superintendent of Dongchang.

Zhu Houzhao knew at a glance that the emperor was going to face the emperor.

"Yes."

Xiao Jing took the errand and left quickly.

Hongzhi took Zhu Houzhao's hand and walked out of the palace, overlooking the Forbidden City.

"Prince,"

"The retainer is here."

"You must remember that you are the crown prince, and although you are a minister, you are a minister who is different from everyone else. You are Lord before them, and no one is to offend."

These words only made Zhu Houzhao think of two words: protect the short.

……

……

Mao Wenwen went all the way north under the scorching sun, and the Dongchang fans who were traveling with him were shocked by his hard-working spirit. ….

When he stopped to drink tea at the post station, he also persuaded, "Chief, it's too hot now, let's rest."

It's a hot July day in the north that people are going to faint in the head.

These people only wore a single coat, and the wind was leaking, so they had to fan it to cool off.

The poplar trees on the edge of the post station were luxuriant, and the ground was full of mottled shadows, and shady places like this had long been occupied by people in a hurry.

Drink saliva in poor conditions, nibble on watermelon in good conditions,

Mao Wenyu brought silver from home, so naturally the conditions were good.

"Tired?"

Mao Wenyu knew that the person who spoke was called Tian Er, and he was actually okay, he didn't take out the shelf of the chief, these people also know the rules, it has always been what he says, and now he says it hot, presumably not because he is afraid of hardship or tiredness.

Tian Er's face was crossed, and now he was sweating, "It's okay to be tired, the brothers are all rushing through like this, mainly because of the heat. Besides, the errand was not so urgent, and the Tatars, as is customary, did not go so quickly. I remember when Hongji was in the fourth year, it was delayed until September."

That being said,

But Mao doesn't think so.

The mysterious crown prince was obviously planning a game of chess, and there must be a reason for sending him out.

This is also one of the few opportunities he has to show his ability,

It is what others can complete in a month, he needs half a month, and others take half a month, he needs ten days.

The so-called non-sound is enough, and it is a blockbuster.

Otherwise, how can you tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remember himself?

But Tian Er's gang is also his capital, so he can't be offended. So he took some money out of his bosom and gave it to the men.

"Chief, what are you doing here?!" Tian Er was shocked and immediately refused.

"Take it!" Mao Yuyu said very resolutely, and his eyes swept over the twenty people one by one, "There is not much silver, because my Mao Yuyu was not a noble status in the past, and he didn't have much money. Thanks to the love of all brothers, who have given me this face all the way, how can I make everyone work in vain? It's really a very important errand for my brother, and a day earlier, it will be different."

The money is in hand, and with these words, what else do they have?

What do you say?

"When I Tian Er didn't say those words. Let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go. Brother Mao is a real man, if you want me to see it, it is better to come to Dongchang to be our leader in the future!"

……

So after three days,

Mao Wenyu and his entourage entered Datong Town, and after arriving, he let the brothers rest, and he went out to find someone to inquire about Ning Wuren.

He originally expected that there would be many difficulties, but Ning Mansion was in Datong Town, and he only asked a few people to determine the location.

After resting for a day, he divided the people he brought with him into several groups and wandered around the Ning Mansion every day.

By the evening of this day, a familiar figure came out of the gate of Ningfu, and he couldn't sit still anymore!

Li Chun!

The guy who was replaced from prison!

When he was arrested, he was a judge, an official from the sixth grade, much more powerful than him, a cell boss, and now he actually eats in a merchant's mansion.

It seems that he is incognito and has survived in the world. ….

"Discovery?" Tian Er saw that there was a change in Mao's language.

"Yes. Keep up with that guy." He pointed to the man who was walking a little bit, too obviously, "Tie people up, remember, don't let people find out."

Tian Er clapped his hands, "It's a trivial matter."

Mao Wenyu himself bit his fingers and stared at Ning Fu in deep contemplation, and there seemed to be a light of wisdom flashing out in his slender eyes.

He came over this time, and it was smooth.

But some went too well,

It always makes him feel ...... Not enough......

In Dongchang's fanzi, it was easy for twenty people to get a cripple, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to tie people into an abandoned house.

Here are cobwebs and fallen leaves, Li Chun was tied hand and foot and thrown here, and now he is writhing like a snake, whining and screaming.

"Take off your hood."

"Yes!"

Mao Wenwen picked a weed, removed its leaves and left its stem, which was actually unclean, but these people were all from poor backgrounds and were used to it, so they just put it in their mouths, and the corners of their eyes turned up slightly.

The feeling of being a cell boss came.

"Uh...... Woo...... Ah, uncle, uncle, uncle!" Li Chun was let go and could speak, and he began to cry as soon as he opened his mouth!

"Don't be noisy, I'm short on time, and if you delay a little more, you will have less hope of surviving!"

"Ah! I have money for this uncle, don't kill me!

Mao Yu was annoyed to hear it, "Cry! It's time to cry!"

Wow, abruptly stopped.

Hey, it's better this way.

"Li Yunju doesn't seem to recognize me?"

This called Li Chun wanted to die,

First of all, he is not surnamed Li now!

Secondly, this man called him Yun Ju this former official name!

These two points drew the infinite fear in his heart, so much so that he couldn't spit out words in his throat and eyes, but just opened his frightened eyes, "You...... You...... You ......."

"Contemptible Mao language, the head of the criminal department's prison number."

Li Chun couldn't move his hands and feet because he was tied, so he squirmed, and his head rubbed against Mao Wenwen's feet, "My lord, my lord, you spare me!" I really don't want to go back!"

A person, so miserable, Zhu Hou may be sad and pity if he takes care of it.

But Mao Yuyu didn't have this emotion at all, he was thinking about how he wanted him to achieve his goal, "I didn't say that I wanted you to die, what are you afraid of?"

"My lord, didn't you come to arrest me by order from the Ministry of Punishment?"

"It's not." Mao Wenyu said with his ears gouged out.

Li Chun's heart suddenly had a hope, in this way, everything still has a chance to turn around, "Want... Want silver? I have it there! As much as you want."

"Who are you Ning Wuren?"

Those who are scared of courage do not need other means.

Just grasping him to escape from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment can make him die.

Li Chun was stunned for a moment, but this question was okay, "He is, the owner of the villain."

"I think you're also an official after all, and you can endure any hardship in order to live." Mao Yuyu sighed and continued to ask, "Ning Wuren is in business?"

"Yes!" Li Chun thought about it and nodded back.

"What kind of business?" ….

「…… and grain, and cloth."

"Salt? Illicit salt?"

This is a little sensitive, and Li Chun is a little afraid to answer, because he doesn't know the meaning of Mao Wen's origin at all.

"My lord, can I ask you, what are you doing? What do you want? Just open your mouth, and you'll have it!"

"Poof." Mao Wenyu spit out the weeds in his mouth, stretched out his arm and beckoned.

Tian Er asked, "What needs to be done?"

"Beat up."

Mao Wenyu turned his back to look at it without looking at Li Chun.

The fans of the East Factory were a little stunned, and they had seen ruthless methods...... But it's not that ruthless, is it......

Li Chun was also stunned, "Wait...... Wait, adults! What the villain said is not right, Ning Wuren is indeed selling illegal salt!"

"Hit!"

This punch and kick was accompanied by Li Chun's wail, Mao Wenwen could still laugh, and even explained on the side: "I always feel that in a place like a prison, you either have to explain it at the beginning, or let me see your backbone if you hold on. The most worthless thing is that you pretend to be a hard bone like this, and you seem to be smart, but in the end, you both confess and get beaten, which is really not smart."

Li Chun's eyes and mouth were bloodstained, and he was let go.

"Ning Wuren doesn't do business outside the customs?"

「……」

There was a silence in response to Mao Wen.

Then he moved his fingers again, "First hit the lame leg, break it, and then hit the good leg."

Tian Er's heart felt a chill, he was a person from Dongchang, of course he had seen this kind of ruthlessness, but it was as common as Mao Yuwen...... There are also very few.

"I answer, I answer......" Li Chun said crying, "he does business outside the customs."

"Do you sell ironware?"

「…… Sell."

"A businessman of his size shouldn't just sell it, right? Is there a connector?"

"Yes, woo......" Li Chun began to cry completely.

But Mao didn't care, "Apart from him, who else is there a businessman?"

"There are also Song Sui, Yu Guangwen, Liu Liping, Yang ......."

"Wait! Wait!" Mao Wenyu waved his hand, and asked with some disbelief: "Selling iron to the Tatars privately is to be beheaded, and so many merchants in Datong do this?!"

Li Chun was afraid that he would doubt himself, so he gave himself another beating, so he hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't know, Datong Town is short of horses, in order to exchange for a sufficient number of horses, open a private market, sell iron tools, this is all allowed by the government!"

Hearing this, Mao Yuyu suddenly felt that his scalp was still numb,

It's a pity that he thought it was so simple before, it was nothing more than finding a person, or a businessman, and then directly arresting people to Beijing and ending the matter for the prince, so wouldn't his great credit be in hand?

But now that I think about it, where is this businessman's business, which involves many officials,

This is...... What a terrible errand!

Once these people, the news sent by the prince leaked, and it was found out that it was a smuggler of iron weapons, and the chief military officer who came to Datong in order to resist this kind of investigation, estimated that there were twenty-one heads!

"It's broken...... Mao Yuyu gritted his teeth, this thing is big!

"Tie him up first, I'm going to think about it." ….

The cell boss, who had taken advantage of a small advantage in his life, encountered a big job, so he found a place for himself and thought about it carefully.

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

Read aloud and listen to books to pass the time, you can download it here]

Mao Yu thought that he was not afraid of the wide range of things involved, but he was afraid that it would not be as good as the prince's intentions.

The prince said that if he does a big thing, if he does it small, it is a lack of courage, and if the prince wants to do it small, if he does it big, it is not enough brains. So how to deal with it, the key is the prince's mind.

As for what is right and what is wrong, that's not what he cares about.

This verse was too important to him, and he didn't know the prince to guess. So he immediately decided, called two people, and stuffed two silver ingots each, "Two brothers, I have to work hard for you again, you are from Dongchang and should be able to enter the palace, this letter must be handed over to Gonggong Liu of the East Palace." If you can't find it, hang a lantern at the door of my house, and in short, it must be done quickly!"

"Yes!"

Sending silver is polite, not sending silver, they also have to listen to Mao's words.

Fortunately, this distance is always closer than the Zhejiang where Zhang Yong went.

……

……

Zhu Houzhao was somewhat surprised when he got the letter in the palace, "This person can do things."

Liu Jin put on a smiling face, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"He will figure out what this palace wants, and this is better than ordinary people." When he meets a good person, he will not be stingy with his praise, "We didn't give him any information, but he immediately found a breakthrough, which shows that he has a good brain and dares to think and do." To the point where they can't make their own decisions, they report it immediately. You say that such a person, what is there to worry about leaving a little bigger matter to him?"

The important thing is the status of honor, and it seems that there are more and more people who take advantage of it.

"That's why His Highness gave him this opportunity, otherwise he would always be a cell boss."

"Hmm. Let's not mention this matter for the time being," Zhu Houzhao began to think, "Datong's matter, do you think it should be done big or small?"
