Bianliang.

As the frost season approaches, the autumn harvest is over.

It's the twenty-third day of August.

After the raid on Dadu ended quickly and in an almost absurd manner at the beginning of the month, the Yuan court clan had been escorted to Bianliang on the eleventh day of August.

Although he looked down on Emperor Zhizheng in his heart, Lao Zhu still gave the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty enough respect as usual, and even did not hold the humiliating prisoner sacrifice ceremony proposed by his subordinates, but canonized Emperor Zhizheng as the marquis of return.

Emperor Zhizheng was already a prisoner, but he knew the current affairs as well as Liu Chan of Shu Han, and cooperatively wrote a number of letters in the name of the Marquis of Guiming, asking Timur of Shanxi, Li Siqi of Shaanxi, and Nahachu of Liaoyang to at least nominally obey the mandate of heaven and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

No one expected these letters to be effective, but they were enough to condemn and, more importantly, to legally cut off the legitimacy of the various feudal towns.

Sending someone to send the letter, most of Lao Zhu's mind turned to Shanxi.

After determining another strategic goal of taking Kuangkuo Timur, in addition to the 30,000 troops of Feng Shengsuo, who was already confronting Kuangkuo in Taiyuan, Fu Youde divided 20,000 troops from Tongguan and arrived outside Taiyuan City on August 13.

50,000 people wanted to besiege Taiyuan City, which was unrealistic, and after Feng Sheng and Fu Youde discussed, they adopted the strategy of encircling three and missing one, and surrounded Taiyuan City from the east, west and south.

Set aside the north and wait for the common spring and soup and the department.

The two generals received an order from Lao Zhu, and this battle of Taiyuan, like Dadu, was the primary strategic target of Wang Baobao, not the city of Taiyuan.

In order to avoid forcing Wang Baobao away in advance, the siege battle while waiting for reinforcements was fought very conservatively.

Whether it is a siege of three missing one, or a conservative siege, there are actually calculations.

The two generals hoped to give Wang Baobao an illusion: we only need this Taiyuan City, as long as Shanxi, you have to run, no problem, just leave the city.

This is followed by Changyu Haru and Yu and two parts.

Chang Yuchun out of Juyong Pass, went around a big circle, and fought for thousands of miles, until Yanmen Pass in Shanxi, and still fought fast along the way.

Although the northern part of Shanxi is also nominally owned by Kuokuo, it was only in the first half of the year that it was taken by Kuokuo after some infighting in the Yuan court, and it was not stable.

When the news of the destruction of the capital spread, and saw that Chang Yuchun was actually calling from the north, he suddenly lost his fighting spirit, except for a short resistance in Datong, and the follow-up towns basically fell into the wind.

However, although Lao Zhu sent a follow-up force, in order to avoid changes in the rear to the greatest extent, Chang Yuchun killed and surrendered again, slaughtering all the way to Yanmen Pass, and the time was only August 18.

Lao Zhu, who was in Bianliang, saw the first battle report sent back by Kuaima, handed it directly to the candle flame and burned it to ashes, and sent the letter back, so there was no need to report it again.

Exactly how many were killed, no one knows.

On August 18, Chang Yuchun broke through the Yanmen Pass, carrying a large number of heavy baggage, and the 50,000 people of the Tang and the Ministry arrived in Dai County a day late because they were hindered by a military village of the die-hard Yuan room on the way, and at that time Chang Yuchun had continued to go south to the Gorilla Prefecture in the north of Taiyuan.

Scarlet Prefecture is only more than 100 miles away from Taiyuan, and it only takes half a day for the cavalry to attack.

However, Chang Yu Haru was blocked here for three days.

Because the Yanmen Pass is where the foundation of Timur is expanded, the guards of the state are also the descendants of the expansion, and 20,000 troops are also stationed to guard it.

Because of the terrain, it is impossible to bypass the gorilla state.

Can only be attacked.

Chang Yuchun used hot air balloons and gunpowder outside the city of Gordon Prefecture in the same way, but he failed to break the city in a short time, and it was not until Tang He arrived and got the internal response that he opened the city pass.

Immediately, I got the news that Feng Sheng and Fu Youde had broken through Taiyuan.

Bad news!

Expanding Timur, he fled ahead of schedule.

In the camp of the Ming army in the east of Bianliang City, Lao Zhu looked at the battle report jointly sent by several generals in Taiyuan City, and he had to sigh that he really couldn't underestimate Timur.

Through interrogation of the defenders in Taiyuan City, it was learned that it was probably after the news that the Yuan court clan from Dadu Chengpo to Emperor Zheng had been killed or captured in Shanxi, Timur changed his strategy of holding on and began to frequently move troops out of the city to fight against the Ming army.

The strength of the entire Shanxi is about 60,000 in Taiyuan City, 20,000 in Chengnei, and 5,000 in Dai County.

Further north, outside Yanmen Pass......

Well, no one knows.

In short, the expansion must have more than 100,000 troops.

Through frequent transfers, there are many people out of the city, and few people back to the city, and after ten consecutive years, when the remaining defenders in Taiyuan City found that their commander was gone, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde took the opportunity to break through the city, and the original 60,000 elite defenders still had nearly 50,000 left.

Another 10,000 people, considering the previous battle damage, the probability is less than 10,000, according to the aftermath detection, it was under the nose of the Ming army, westward, escaped into the vast Luliang Mountain, and quietly left.

When Lao Zhu saw this war report, what he was most moved by was the decisiveness of Timur.

Empathy.

On his own, at least on the surface, it is not a desperate situation, Lao Zhu has to admit that he will most likely not be able to make such a decision to survive. After all, most people can't do it if they give up more than ninety percent of their belongings and quietly leave with less than one percent of their deployments.

Lao Zhu didn't blame Feng Sheng and Fu Youde for their negligence, even if he was over there, it was hard to imagine that the expansion would be so simple.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, just don't want it, just leave.

While feeling some admiration, Lao Zhu did not hesitate at all when he was going to write the edict, and demanded that the hasty escape of Timur, who had unkindly and unjustly abandoned tens of thousands of deployments, be widely spread immediately.

Such a commander who gives up his subordinates at any time, who dares to follow!

It's still heart-wrenching.

As for whether it is useful or not, it can only be so for the time being.

Successively attacked Dadu and raided Shanxi, the results were rich enough, and all the departments were sleepy and tired, and they needed to take a good rest. The land that has just been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty also needs time to digest.

Lao Zhu was rarely radical, but he did not lose his mind.

Some of the remaining enemies, Li Siqi in Guanzhong, Nahachu in Liaoyang, and even Ming Xia in Shu, the former Liang King and Dali Duan in Yunnan, and so on, according to the records of the Book of Heaven, did not cause much trouble to the Ming Dynasty.

Then stop for a moment, and there must be no problems inside your house.

Moreover, after leaving Jinling for a long time, it should be time to go back.

After handling military affairs, Lao Zhu turned to political affairs.

The twenty-third grandson of his baby was impeached again, and this time it was three successively.

The first is that someone spent his national funds during the Mid-Autumn Festival and issued tens of thousands of bounties to the Mingzhou Camp and the Navy Governor's Mansion without authorization, in the name of celebrating the great victory of Dadu, but in fact he was suspected of trespassing.

There is nothing wrong with local officials celebrating their victories at the front, but it is too much to reward soldiers and civilians without permission.

Lao Zhu already knew about this in advance.

Zhu Yuan mentioned it in the log, and persuaded him, the old ancestor, to come, 'Zigong redeems people' or something, and he deliberately turned over the allusion for this.

I didn't expect it to be here.

At this time, seeing this impeachment, Lao Zhu couldn't help frowning.

Not for Zhu Yuan.

Rather, behind this impeachment, the intention of provocation is too obvious.

Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, felt that he couldn't let it go, and directly gave instructions to send this local supervisor of eastern Zhejiang who was the fifth grade to the Qiongzhou Mansion, which had just been won by the southern line, and he was demoted two levels in a row to serve as the general judge of Danzhou Zhengliupin, which was under the jurisdiction of Qiongzhou Mansion.

The second impeachment is that Zhu Yuan harms the public and private interests.

The thing is about burning glass.

An imperial historian in Mingzhou accused Zhu Yuan of using the manpower and material resources of Yinghai Division's subordinates to seek personal interests for his own family, and also said that the glass had reached the level of equal value to gold, and he had accumulated wealth to the point of madness.

Lao Zhu already knew about this in advance.

Zhu Yuan said in detail in a previous correspondence that he also sent a thermometer that surprised Lao Zhu again, as well as various utensils that he planned to use for research in chemistry and medicine.

As for the high value of glass, Zhu Yuan did not hide it.

It is also said that the current firing of glass belongs to an industry of 'heavy manpower' and 'high energy consumption', because it requires the manpower and material resources of the Yinghai Division, Zhu Yuan only plans to keep 20% of the shares, of which 6 points are still given to the specific person in charge.

The other eighty percent, fifty percent of them will return to the camp Haisi, and the other three percent, Zhu Yuan plans to give it directly to Lao Zhu.

A series of schemes have been derived.

It is said that it is to set up an asset management group, and if it is publicized, it will be called Daming Royal Asset Management Group, and if you don't want to publicize it, you can call it Jinling Dongcheng Asset Management Group.

Latter......

Because the palace is in the east of Jinling City, in fact, it still means royal.

With the shell of the asset management company, the shares of many commercial companies will be managed in the future, such as the Haimao Company in Lao Zhu's hands, which can be divided into this shell, and then the glass distribution company, and even various other businesses in the future.

In the future, the royal family will be supported by the profits generated by this business management group, which controls a large number of assets.

Zhu Yuan first affirmed that the huge profits will be unimaginable.

The second is to free the royal family from dependence on land.

Suppressing land annexation has been a must-do for all dynasties, however, to do this, the upper echelons of the pyramid, especially the royal family, need to lead by example in the first place.

If the royal family can't do it themselves, if the court wants to do certain things, it can be imagined, and it will be a little bit more justifiable.

Lao Zhu is very satisfied with the asset management company's plan.

He was very dissatisfied with Zhu Yuan's equity distribution.

The main dissatisfaction point is that the kid ...... Don't treat yourself as your own family, but keep 20% for yourself, give him 30%, don't say how many percent, is this to divide the family?

However, when I thought about it at the time, in the future, my children will not be able to rely on all these asset management companies, but also have some of their own family funds.

When you think about it, it's fine.

Looking at the glass again, Zhu Yuan said in his letter that the first 3,000 catties of glass transaction had been negotiated, and the price was 3,300 catties of gold, which was ...... That's more than 50,000 taels.

More than 500,000!

Lao Zhu was a little undecided at that time.

I personally redistributed the equity plan.

Those stewards, Lao Zhu knew that Zhiyongzhai had three points, and he felt that it was too much, this time, how could Ren Da's profits be returned to three points, so they were directly pressed to one point, one percent of the shares, for those subordinates...... Thinking about more than 500,000 this time, what are you not satisfied with?

For the rest, Zhu Yuan takes two percent, well, to be exact, one into eight.

The other eighty percent, the royal asset management company, after Lao Zhu thought about it, he didn't choose the introverted one, but the Daming Royal Asset Management Group, he felt very imposing, in short, what kind of group, take sixty percent.

The last two percent were left to the Ying Hai Division.

Lao Zhu didn't think there was any problem with this.

This glass was originally made by his own children, and he was able to leave some for the public, which was selfless enough, of course, he had to take more.

As for the rest.

Just like the Mingzhou Marine Development Group, Lao Zhu quickly thought of it, and there are other kinds in the future, Lao Zhu feels that the royal asset management group also needs to account for some shares, but this is not suitable for accounting for too much, a few points of shares, meaning, just show the royal sense of existence.

When it comes to people's livelihood, it is not appropriate to occupy too much.

In short, these things still have to be returned to Jinling, and when the child also goes back, talk more in person, and put them in place.

It is mainly for the next hundred years and millennia.

As for the present.

This impeachment, compared to the previous one, Lao Zhu doesn't think anything.

That's the standard hearsay.

Therefore, Lao Zhu just scratched it casually.

There is no intention of punishing the imperial historian, and of course there is no intention of pursuing the twenty-third grandson of his treasure.

Next, the third impeachment made Lao Zhu a little whiskered.

The kid......

He even asked the local city bosses to help him buy Hu Nu from the maritime merchants.

Mess around.

Lao Zhu didn't think that lust was a big drawback, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to reward that child with a group of beautiful women before.

What makes him angry is, can you stand your kid's body?

How can you be so indulgent?

I wanted to intervene right away.

Still, on second thought, this ...... It doesn't seem like a big deal.

Not to mention purchasing, his own arrogant soldiers, whether it was before or now, whenever he arrives in a place, he can hear the cocoon in his ears.

At least, the kid still behaves.

There was no messing around.

Well.

That's mess up.

In any case, it cannot be left alone.

It's just that you can't make a big deal out of a little thing.

Lao Zhu pondered and pondered, and the first thing that came to mind was that when he returned to Jinling, he would tell his baby twenty-third grandson a daughter-in-law.

Ming Media is marrying.

After all, if you make such a mess, if you get a concubine...... He comes from the bottom, so he doesn't really mind too much about it, but in terms of name, he is always not good-looking.

Future......

Can't you let a concubine inherit the title?

It's best to marry a daughter-in-law quickly.

As for the immediate ......

Lao Zhu thought about it again, and thought of the few little eunuchs who were sent to Mingzhou earlier.

Lao Zhu didn't know the specific situation over there, but just looked at what the kid had done in the past few months, and he didn't have much of an eye for indulging in women on weekdays, as for the evenings......

Well.

This is the night...... Be sure to let those little eunuchs keep an eye on them.

Can't be laissez-faire.
