Chapter 533: Nowhere to Run

Hamiwei's arrangement is just one of them.

Long before setting off for the north, Zhu Zhan Yan formulated a series of battle plans based on the historical Tumubao Incident and the Battle of Beiping.

The most important of these is himself, that is, he personally led the army north, first taking over the control and command of Shuntianfu and the Ming Dynasty, so as to avoid those who have no lower limit for their own selfish interests to make trouble.

After stabilizing the situation in Shuntianfu and Daming, he will lead the army again to drive the enemy out of Daming, and push the battlefield outside Daming as much as possible.

In addition to this arrangement, he also sent people to inform the Zhongshun King of Hamiwei, the Eighth King of the Uszangdu Division, and his younger brother Zhu Zhan Yan in Europe.

In other words, when the war began, the Ming Dynasty would launch an attack from the east, west, and south, and first encircle the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the form of a pocket array.

As for Warat......

Hehe.

……

Suncheonfu.

Just when the west and the north were in full swing preparing for war, Shuntianfu also began a war that belonged to Chen Xun alone.

There is no way, the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei and the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen have been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and there have been too many corrupt phenomena, and the scope and number of personnel have made Chen Xun frightened.

In fact, it is not that it is deliberately belittled, but relatively speaking, Cheng Zhu Lixue is more likely to breed corruption than Ram Studies, and the difference in rulers will eventually affect the development of this situation.

Cheng Zhu Lixue was born in the Song Dynasty, but it was not reused by the Song Dynasty, but the Yuan Dynasty used this Cheng Zhu Lixue to rule the Han people.

In terms of ideology, although Cheng Zhu Lixue and Gong Yang Xue both belong to Confucianism, in fact, the two are also very different, especially the Ram Xue is far superior to Cheng Zhu Lixue in terms of great unification and great revenge.

In fact, some of them are, and the more radical the thought, the more deterrent it is, which can deter many people, so that many people can't help but think of the consequences when they reach out, and finally stop or converge a lot.

However, this is only one of the reasons, there is no limit to people's desires, and many times as long as the benefits are large enough, there will always be someone who reaches out.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Zhu Zhanyan.

Zhu Zhanyan is famous, but it seems to be related to war and massacres, but that is only people's stereotypes, or some people's stereotypes.

Sometimes, if you don't experience it from a certain angle, it will be difficult for you to understand what the people are concerned about and afraid of.

For the former Cheng Zhu Li, the most frightening thing about Zhu Zhan is not his name of killing gods, but the ruthlessness that has been highlighted in the Yongle years.

The unique ruthlessness of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

In this regard, people who want to come to Yangzhou should have a lot to say, because in the first few years of Zhu Zhan's rise, they were one of Zhu Zhan's biggest background boards.

In the years that the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei and the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen were in power, without Zhu Zhan's deterrence, and Sun Ruowei already had the idea of winning the hearts of the people, he was extremely tolerant of officials, resulting in corruption that has developed to an outrageous level.

Shuntianfu, the Ministry of Officials.

"Do you have to dispose of all this?" Xia Xuan looked at Chen Xun in front of him with a serious expression.

Although he is a generation younger than Chen Xun, Xia Xuan is far more mature than his age, and even ruthless.

You must know that what he is talking about now is the list he just submitted to Chen Xun is the corruption situation in the household department that he has thoroughly investigated this time, and the scope of the investigation is ......

Let's put it this way, it turns out that the household officials promoted by the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei, and even the entire household department now, few can be spared, and it can basically be said that it is a pot.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, sixty taels of silver is the whole family sitting together, peeling the skin and grass.

Xia Xuan made an understatement, asking about the life and death of more than 100 officials in the household department.

"If it is dealt with according to the law of the Ming Dynasty......" When he said this, Chen Xun raised his head and cast an inquiring look at Xia Xuan.

"Will the household still be able to keep running?"

"Not very optimistic." Xia Xuan shook her head.

"Judging from the current situation, it is no problem to maintain the operation of the household, but the problem is that if there is an accident during this period, such as force majeure factors such as war and natural disasters, the household department will not be able to turn around."

"You also know that the affairs of the household department are different from those of the other departments, not that any person can get started and handle it in an orderly manner."

"In my humble opinion, it is difficult to solve the vacancy unless some officials who are familiar with household affairs are urgently dispatched from the Xiangzhou government to fill the vacancy."

"Well......" Chen Xun thought about it, and finally decided to follow the arrangement of the professionals.

Although he is the official secretary in charge of the officials in the world, but the so-called art industry has a specialty, just like a department manager, although you are nominally the boss of the team leader and ordinary employees, but there are really some things that others are good at.

"I'll send a message to His Royal Highness Zhan Qi and ask the Xiangzhou Mansion to send some households...... Forget it, let's draw a little bit from the six departments. ”

"But you also have to be mentally prepared, Wang Zuo and your younger brother Xia Jin don't think about it, it's already good to be able to transfer some officials from Xiangzhou Mansion to you, don't ask for that kind of elite."

"I understand below." Xia Xuan nodded, he was still clear about this.

At present, the Ming Dynasty is actually divided into three fulcrums, namely Shuntianfu, Xiangzhou Mansion and Xuntianfu (Rome), with these three fulcrums to support the governance of the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, before that, Shuntianfu was not one of the three points, and even before that, the Ming Dynasty could be said to be divided into two Ming insiders and outsiders.

They are the internal Ming Dynasty based on the original Ming Dynasty, and the external Ming Dynasty of Xiangzhou Prefecture, Nanzhou Prefecture, Central Asia and Europe that were defeated by Zhu Zhanqi.

However, that was all in the past, and the Ming Dynasty in the future will be one, and it will also be supported by three fulcrums, spanning the entire Eurasian continent.

Therefore, at present, these three points are governed by the six ministries and other institutions that the Ming Dynasty has always used, and its officials are naturally selected according to the standards of the six ministries.

It's like the household department, after Xia Yuanji died of illness, his sons Xia Xuan and Xia Jin inherited his ability in financial management, and they were also reused by Zhu Zhanyan.

In addition to Xia Xuan and Xia Jin, plus a Wang Zuo who was personally recommended by Xia Yuanji before, these three people constitute the Hubu Shangshu of the three fulcrums of Shuntianfu, Xiangzhou Mansion and Xuntianfu.

The same is true for the other five.

This transfer, obviously, you can't transfer people like Xia Jin and Wang Zuo, it's like if you directly take away the manager of a department, and no one leads it, and the employees below will definitely be in trouble.

However, this is all for the future, and what Chen Xun and Xia Xuan have to face at the moment is actually more important.

Since it has been decided to transfer personnel from Xiangzhou Mansion to fill the vacancy in Shuntian Mansion, it means that there will be no connivance at the corruption situation on the side of Shuntian Mansion.

It's a good thing, but it's not easy.

The good thing is because the elimination of corruption has always been a good thing, no matter which dynasty it is, only the officials can go further.

And it is difficult to do because the scope is too wide, which is nothing, but combined with the current situation, it is easy for people to say that Zhu Zhanyan is purging dissidents and cleaning up the old ministers left by the orthodox emperor.

"Now that it's decided, don't hesitate and do it directly." After a long silence, Yu Qian spoke.

"As the so-called is not broken, it is not standing, the ancient Yun Chang scraped the bones to cure the poison, and the current Daming should be like this, only by breaking and standing can the Daming go further."

……

Everyone looked at Yu Qian, and their expressions were all surprised without exception.

The people present were either six scholars or cabinet scholars, some of whom were born in the Yongle Dynasty, that is, before the Ram School was designated as an official school, and the rest were basically Ram Bachelors.

But there is one point, Yu Qian is the only one who went out in the Yongle Dynasty as a scholar of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and then switched to the Wu Wang line, but in the end he did not leave with the Wu Wang lineage moving south.

It is also that most of the people present switched from the emperor of the Yongle Dynasty to the king of Wu, and with the king of Wu went south to Xiangzhou Mansion, only Yu Qian himself stayed in Shuntian Mansion and worked for the orthodox emperor and the empress dowager Sun Ruowei.

Although Yu Qian has not been reused by the orthodox emperor and the empress dowager over the years, it is undeniable that he has always been in the position of the secretary of the military department, from the first line of King Wu to take over Shuntian to withdraw from Shuntian, and then to take over Shuntian again.

It seems that he is the last person to say this, but in fact, he has become the first and only one to say it.

However, I have to say that Yu Qian's words are very reasonable.

"Then ......" Chen Huan looked at everyone and said slowly.

"Since there is no objection, let's follow this plan."

"Ye Shangshu, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, no opinion, right?"

"No problem." Yeen nodded and took the task.

As the secretary of the criminal department, he is duty-bound in this matter, in fact, this matter can also be handed over to Jinyiwei to be responsible, but after King Wu withdrew from Shuntian, the original Jinyiwei commander Saihazhi was also removed, and Menda was promoted by Sun Ruowei to the new Jinyiwei commander.

Although Menda is dead, the interior of Jinyiwei has not yet been cleared, and in such an important matter, Jinyiwei cannot be trusted for the time being.

If Zhu Zhanyan was in Beijing, or if someone like Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping had enough influence in Beijing, then he could let the prince guard take action, thoroughly investigate and take over the affairs and responsibilities of the Jinyi guard, but Zhu Zhanyan went on the expedition and took the prince guard away.

And Ye En, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, ushered in his first major case after taking office.

For more than fifteen years, Ye En, the secretary of the criminal department, is a decoration most of the time, which is in line with the situation of the Ming Dynasty, because from Hongwu to Yongle and then to the present, the secretary of the criminal department has come and gone I don't know how many people have changed, the main reason is that most of its responsibilities have been taken over by Jinyiwei.

With the end of the deliberations between the six ministries and the cabinet, a series of secret orders were issued from the Shuncheonfu, and unlike in the past, this time it was obviously an order issued on behalf of the imperial court, but there was no emperor's seal, and it was replaced by the seal of the prince of Wu.

What this represents...... Go without saying.

……

On the other hand, as the person in charge behind the scenes of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Ruowei's current situation can be said to be one heaven and one underground.

Once she was the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, she single-handedly promoted countless people, and the Ming Dynasty respected her from top to bottom, as long as her manual movement, some people were bankrupt and exterminated, and some people went straight from a cloth to the clouds, becoming an unattainable existence for ordinary people.

But now, although she is still the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, everyone respects her as if she is a patient infected with the plague, lest it infect her.

In the past, people came and went, and there was an endless stream of people who reported things, stammered and served, and even the Heart Cultivation Palace, which could step on the threshold, has now become an existence that no one cares about.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for the attendants and palace maids in the Heart Cultivation Palace, they would have left a long time ago.

As the former protagonist, Sun Ruowei sat on the chair in the Heart Nourishing Hall at this time, the chair that once represented the power of the Queen Mother, was already covered with a little dust at the moment, and at a glance, he knew that no one had cleaned it up for a while.

Gently stroking the chair that had fallen to ashes, Sun Ruowei's eyes flashed three points of despair, three points of confusion and three points of hatred.

And...... A point of madness.

It's dangerous when a person goes crazy because you don't know what they're going to do, and it's even more dangerous when that person used to have a lot of power.

……

At the same time, outside the Saiwai, Saiyin Dashan.

The front front has actually been pushed around the Yuqu River, because Wara knows the power of the white phosphorous eggs and fire oil bombs in Zhu Zhan's hands, plus there have been no major wars for more than ten years, so it is conceivable how many weapons Zhu Zhan Yan has hoarded in his hands.

Therefore, Warat did not have the idea of confronting the Ming army head-on, and was running away as always, hoping that he would escape far enough, far enough for the Ming army to lose interest in pursuit.

However, Zhu Zhanyan didn't plan to go forward, because there was no option to pursue Wara to the end in his plan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Zhu Ping walked in from outside the tent, holding three letters in his hand.

"The Chungshun King of Hamiwei has arrived at the border between the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Warat as scheduled, and the Eighth King of Uszangdu Si has also sent an army to the Kansai Qiwei in accordance with your instructions, striving to resolve the rebellion within the Kansai Qiwei while the Chungshun King cuts off the retreat route of Warat, and finally turns to the eastern border of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."

"There is also news from Xuanfu Town, saying that someone has left the Great Wall and is heading towards Nuer Gandusi."

"Are you sure?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his head, his eyes flashing.

"Sure!"

"Who's around the Flying Cloud Gully right now?"

"Back to His Royal Highness! It's Xing Kuan! ”

"Let him lead someone to the old land of Uliangha at once!"

"Yes!"

……

The Chinese tent was silent again, but a vortex had already moved, making the calm water no longer calm.

Only Zhu Zhanyan himself knew that it was clear that the battle line had been pushed to the Yuqu River, but what was the purpose of his turning to the old land of Wuliangha.
