The most difficult battles in the south have been fought, and all that remains is to abuse vegetables, and it is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf and defeat the raze, as long as the ordnance and food are provided.

The north is divided into three directions: northwest, northeast, and due north, and the northwest is fought by the elite border army of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the combat power is crushed, and the only constraint is logistics, so there is no need to worry too much about this direction.

In the northeast, the old Jingying and the upper guards will be on top first, and there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

Due north, the army of the Son of Heaven faced the main force of Totobuhua and Ara. First, the covenant between the two sides is still there, and secondly, there are Duoyan Sanwei at the front, and the pressure is not great in a short time.

Taking advantage of this strategic buffer period, Zhu Qiyu decided to organize and train a new army: Shenshu Battalion.

Liu Chang was the commander, Hao Yi was the supervisor, and the elite was first drawn from the pro-army to form the backbone.

A dinner was eaten until dark, and then it was dispersed.

The others went back to their respective homes, only Pei Dang and Huang Qi followed behind Zhu Qiyu and went to the imperial garden to wander around and eat.

There were only three masters and servants in the garden, so Pei Dang lowered his voice and talked about the most confidential matter: "Emperor, on October 10 last year, the uncle of the king of Joseon, the prince of Shouyang, staged a coup d'état, killed the important ministers of Tuogu, Kim Zongrui and Huang Furen, exiled his younger brother Anpyeong Maharaja to Ganghwa Island, and put the king of Joseon Li Hongwei under house arrest.

The coup has been successful, and a purge is underway within North Korea.

God helps the emperor, this is to sleep, so he sent a pillow. We can send troops to North Korea in a reasonable way. ”

Huang Qi retorted with a smile: "What heavenly help, how can you count the credit of the emperor to the head of the sky."

Think about it yourself, in April last year, the Lord of Shouyang led the Korean delegation to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute; In July, the 30,000-strong Korean army Chen soldiers border; In September, the emperor sent Jiang Shilang to the governor of Liaodong Military Affairs to recruit a large army to the Korean border; In October, a palace coup broke out. ”

Pei Dang was a little stunned after hearing this: "You mean that the emperor is manipulating all this behind his back?" ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Don't say it so ugly, it seems that I am the mastermind behind the manipulation of everything." It was the Lord of Shouyang who wanted to launch a coup d'état, but I was just noncommittal and optimistic.

When the Korean Hamgyong Province, which is adjacent to the Jurchen Ministry, is in turmoil, Jiang Yuan will be sent troops to fight the chaos.

Then the prince of Shouyang and the king of Korea died together in the internal strife, and the Li royal family was wiped out.

The Japanese will certainly not sit idly by, and will inevitably send an army to attack Korea.

At that time, I will be able to completely wipe out the main elite of Japan in Korea, and finally the Daming Navy Division will land on the Japanese mainland.

North Korea and Japan together have more than 10 million people, and Annan has about 5 million, adding up to almost 20 million.

When I took over the throne, there were only more than 60 million people in the Ming Dynasty.

All of a sudden, there were 20 million more people to support the imperial court, and the living pressure of the people in the original interior was greatly reduced.

At that time, most of the people should praise me as Zhongxing Mingjun. ”

Huang Qi hurriedly praised: "In just five years, the Ming Dynasty has already been quite prosperous, and it will take another twenty years, wouldn't it be to reproduce the prosperity of Wenjing." ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was amused and laughed happily. It's not because of the prosperity of Wenjing, but Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought that there is a little fan sister Ning Xiang Niangniang among his women, a little fan brother Huang Qigong among the old servants, a hardcore supporter of Wang Daxue in Wenchen, and a hardcore supporter of Marquis Liu among the generals.

Among the vassal kings, there are also the kings of Dongwu County, and among the nobles, there are also Cao Guogong, all of whom are unswerving loyalists.

Looking at it this way, I still have a representative die-hard fan in all walks of life.

From this point of view, this emperor is quite decent.

Huang Qi thought that he had done a good job of patting his ass, and he was also there to laugh.

It was easy to wait for the two to be happy, and Bae Dangcai continued: "After the coup d'état in North Korea, the murdered auxiliary minister Kim Jong-seo and his henchman Li Chengyu guarded Hamgyong Province.

The Lord of Shouyang sent a man named Pu Haowen to relieve Li Chengyu of his military power, but he was killed by Li Chengyu.

After Li Chengyu killed Park Haowen, he proclaimed himself Emperor Dajin, entangled the Jurchen forces, and tried to raise troops to resist. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Very good, very good, even the Jurchens have been involved, and they are following the 'Great Jin Emperor' blindly, this is ironclad evidence that they intend to restore the Jin Dynasty and have a heart of disobedience."

They have all rebelled, and our people have been destroyed, isn't it too much?

Convey the secret decree to Jiang Yuan, so that he must protect Li Chengyu and not let Li Chengyu be destroyed.

Let Li Chengyu and Shouyang Dajun engage in a civil war first, and when they are almost done, then rush up and destroy them all.

Again, this is my suggestion. Will be outside, the king's order is not affected, Jiang Yuan can act cheaply and move with the camera, I will not interfere with him. ”

Huang Qi asked curiously: "Emperor, this Jiang Shilang has no experience in commanding troops, can he win?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Who knows, Xu Youzhen has no experience in commanding troops, so is it different to win against Annan." Moreover, after laying down Annan, Xu Youzhen followed the way of Huang Lao, pacified the people and ruled by inaction.

Annan was well governed by him, the people were treated well, and there was no more resistance from the Yongle Dynasty.

So, since Jiang Yuan was sent, let him do it. This is called not using suspicious people, and employing people without suspicion.

This is also the way of getting along with monarchs and ministers, to allow people to fail, to allow people to make mistakes, even if they fail, I will not be too harsh.

Otherwise, when the ministers do things, they are all timid and looking forward and backward, and they will only get twice the result with half the effort in everything. ”

Huang Qi nodded thoughtfully.

With his most trusted henchman, Zhu Qiyu has no scruples when he speaks, and what he says is the truth.

On the second day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

There weren't too many activities, Zhu Qiyu just issued an edict, sealing Wang Cheng's nephew Wang Min, Shu Liang's brother Shu Yu, Zhang Yong's brother Zhang Cong, Wang Qin's nephew Wang Xian, Hao Yi's nephew Hao An, and other henchmen and eunuchs' relatives are all hereditary Jinyiwei.

In addition, today is the day when the newly built attic of the Heavenly Tower and the Goddess Pavilion is officially opened.

Xizhimen Street and Xinkaidao Street at the northern end of Mingyufang form a key crossroads: Xinjiekou.

Southwest of Xinjiekou, it is the largest restaurant in Beijing: Jietianlou; The largest place of music and dance in the capital: the Goddess Pavilion.

In the northeast of Xinjiekou, there is the Shangsheng Immortal Palace where the jade statue of the Holy Empress stands and the largest amusement park in the capital.

In the southeast of Xinjiekou, the emperor rebuilt the large-scale Dalongshan Huguo Temple into Jingzhao Mansion.

The Xicheng Terracotta Division was moved to the side of Jingzhao Mansion, opposite the Jietian Tower across the street.

Northwest of Xinjiekou, there were originally many temples. Zhu Qiyu demolished it and designed a magnificent department store and trade market, ready to sell all kinds of goods after the opening of the sea ban and the Western Ocean.

Learning from the land development ideas of later generations, Zhu Qiyu set up Jingzhao Mansion next to Mingyufang and relocated the Xicheng Terracotta Division.

In this way, the stability and prosperity of Mingyufang will be guaranteed.

When the new store opened, Li Xi'er, the owner of the Goddess Pavilion, did not receive guests, but won the honor and was accepted as a guest at the Qi Palace.

The emperor has sat firmly on the throne, and it is time to reward meritorious deeds.

Even those who have made meritorious contributions to the secret intelligence system should be rewarded heavily.

Li Xi'er came to the Qi Palace, and unexpectedly, Ning Xiang Niangniang, who controlled the Goddess Pavilion behind her back, personally greeted her outside the gate.

The two greeted each other and walked hand in hand.

While walking, gossiping, Ning Xiang said with a smile: "In the future, Sister Xi'er doesn't have to do it herself, just be the pavilion master and manage the goddess pavilion for me."

I invited my sister to come today, one is to have a meal and exchange feelings, and the other is to ask my sister to guide and guide our sisters.

Recently, the situation has changed dramatically, and some sluts have cried and shouted that they want to be concubines when they see that our husband is sitting firmly on the throne and is the only one.

Therefore, we have to continue to improve our skills, bring forth the new, and firmly envelop our husbands. ”

Li Xi'er said with a smile: "Isn't the Holy Lord extremely spoiled by you, where is it to think of danger to this extent in peace." ”

Ning Xiang shook her head: "Competing for favor is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you can't relax for a moment." ”

Li Xi'er said with a smile: "Doesn't my sister want to actually operate with the saint, and let my sister check and fill in the gaps by the side?" ”

Li Xi'er was originally joking, but she didn't expect Ning Xiang to nod without hesitation: "Yes, that's what my sister meant, and I ask my sister to give me advice." ”

Thanks to the evil Taoist for the reward of 700 coins
