Zhu Jianshen was resolute and swift, and did not give interest groups a chance to react at all, let alone negotiate.

In just over a month, the Jiangnan smugglers were completely dismantled!

This time, Zhu Jianshen won again.

It's just that he didn't win completely, and there will be a series of troubles to solve in the future, especially the interest groups led by military generals and nobles, which must be appeased.

As a result, changing the land and returning to the river was put on the agenda.

Zhu Jianshen wanted to give these generals and nobles whose interests had been damaged a chance to make meritorious contributions and a chance to make up for their losses.

This time, he showed considerable sincerity and released several places for knighthood.

At the same time, taking advantage of the gap in the rectification of the West Factory, Zhu Jianshen transferred Wang Zhi out and reappointed him as the eunuch of the supervising army, supervising the suppression of Tusi throughout the process.

Wang Zhi is the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, in charge of the Beijing Janissaries, and he already has military power, Zhu Jianshen's arrangement is reasonable, and he can't find fault with it.

Moreover, the civilian clique is happy to do so, and it is better to harm the generals than to harm them.

The generals were not angry, they had just had a chance to make up for the damage to their interests, but they were taken a piece by Wang Zhilai, which was too much!

However, there is a quota for entering the knight there, and I have to endure the discomfort, who is not hot for the long-term meal ticket of Daming Company?

In the case of limited places, not only can they not work against Wang Zhi, but they even have to be polite to him.

No way, who made this eunuch a prisoner.

Although they were unhappy, they had to take this battle seriously in order to better shade their children and grandchildren.

The cost of the Ming Dynasty's internal use of troops is not large, it can be said that there are granaries everywhere, and there is no need to establish a long-distance supply line that costs a lot of money, and the cost of war is not less than a little bit compared with the use of foreign troops.

…

Yongning Palace.

Taking the opportunity to chat after tea, Zhen'er said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhi is young and vigorous, and he is sharp, now that he has the right to supervise the army, I am afraid that he will kill in order to make meritorious contributions...... He was a prisoner, but it was useless for the emperor's plan to do so. ”

Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said, "I still have the ability to look at people, but Wang Zhi won't be like this." ”

"This is not good," Zhen'er shook her head, "In case the killing is too much, the follow-up layout of the emperor ...... Non-concubines intend to interfere in politics, but they don't want the emperor's efforts to be in vain. ”

paused, "Even if Wang Zhi doesn't, those generals ......"

Zhu Jianshen said with a smile: "That's what you want to say, right?" ”

Zhen'er's face was hot, and she said: "Emperor Shengming, this time the emperor promised several places to increase the number of officials and enter the knighthood, in order to make meritorious contributions, the generals will naturally spare no effort to expand the results of the battle...... I'm afraid it will do more harm than good! ”

"You can think of it, I naturally think of it," Zhu Jianshen smiled indifferently and sighed, "This is inevitable, and it is not more harmful than good." ”

breathed a sigh of relief, "Whenever the system is reformed, it will touch the scales of those with vested interests, which has been the case since ancient times;

Therefore, it is very necessary to fight a few ruthless battles, the more ruthless the better, and the more ruthless the fight, so that the cost of toast's resistance will be higher, and the lower the resistance will be;

The tepid conventional style of play, I am afraid that I have to play the whole game, which is not only time-consuming, but also costly, and cannot achieve the purpose of deterrence! ”

Zhu Jianshen said: "Let those Tusi leaders feel shocked and afraid, and the follow-up implementation of land reform and return to the stream can be more worry-free and effort-saving, and can obtain greater gains at a smaller cost, understand?" ”

Zhen'er was stunned for a moment, and said in admiration: "The emperor is wise! ”

"Of course I'm wise." The corners of Zhu Jianshen's mouth were crooked, and then he said: "I know that you are doing well-intentioned, but there are some things that you should not worry about, remember." ”

"Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong." Zhen'er was in a daze, and hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty.

Zhu Jianshen helped her up and said softly: "It's okay to take it as an example, I didn't really get angry with you; I understand what you're worried about, it's just that I'm afraid that Wang Zhi's knife is too sharp, and I won't be able to tolerate him in the future, or cross the river and tear down the bridge to appease the anger, right? ”

"Hmm." Zhen'er nodded, admitting it calmly.

The little ancestor's scheming skills are far beyond her now, and it would be really stupid to be clever again.

Zhen'er is naturally not stupid.

"The emperor can see this, it's amazing." Zhen'er has a sweet mouth.

"It's still twisting and turning with me," Zhu Jianshen glared at her and snorted, "Don't worry, I promised you before that I would give him a good ending, and I would never break my promise." ”

Zhen'er's heart eased, "The emperor is benevolent." ”

Although Wang Zhi is a eunuch, she was raised as a son, and she didn't want this young man to end up like Wang Zhen.

Zhu Jianshen shook his head and sighed: "I am not benevolent, the emperor of benevolence is not a good emperor!" ”

Zhen'er: "......"

Is it still wrong to praise you?

It's really getting harder and harder for the little ancestor to serve......

In March, the armament stopped, and Zhu Jianshen found an excuse to officially start the toast.

At the same time, he sent an edict to Li Hong, telling him to prepare for the prevention of the Japanese invaders.

Zhu Jianshen smashed the smuggling industry, and it was not only the Ming gentry whose interests were damaged, but also the smugglers in Japan who had no money.

~

The Ming Dynasty has made ripples again, and Japan is even more changing.

Hosokawa Toyohisa came again, this time, more politely than the last time, because he had already paid the money and confiscated the goods.

"I hope that Your Excellency will keep your promise and spare no effort to help us attack the Yamana family." Hosokawa Toyohisa promised, "I will not take any of the post-war gains, and publicly recognize the legitimacy of your department." ”

Li Qing smiled and asked, "How many people are you dispatching?" ”

"Seven thousand samurai!" Toyohisa Hosokawa looked proud.

A war of this scale can be called earth-shattering, and the entire country of Japan can come up with such a large array of forces, but it is only a handful of them, which is also the horror of their Hosokawa clan.

"Seven thousand samurai...... Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Plus our fifteen hundred samurai, it is also difficult to eat the Shiyama family, although our samurai are extremely brave, but this time is a siege after all...... It's hard! ”

Hosokawa Toyohisa was quite speechless, and snorted: "You are a man of the Yamana family, and the family is muddy?" It's so delicious! This time the city will not be ...... siege"

Li Qing frowned and said, "Why don't you attack the city to play?" ”

"You ......" Hosokawa Fengjiu is very angry, and when he talks to Li Qing, he always can't hold back his temperament, it's really annoying that this guy is too annoying.

However, at the moment, he was the weak side, so he had to suppress his anger and said:

"Naturally, it is to grab money, food, and resources as much as possible, rest assured, our Hosokawa family has a big business, and it will not hack your harvest."

Li Qing was quite disappointed: "In other words, is it going to loot?" ”

"Aang, that's good." Hosokawa Toyohisa nodded sullenly.

I shouldn't have any illusions about the people here, they are bandits from top to bottom, and they don't have any strategy at all...... Li Qing couldn't help but hold his forehead.

From the perspective of the overall situation, this is a good thing, but in this way, it will be much more difficult for Li Qing to take advantage of the situation. óΠъ.oяＧ

The Hosokawa clan didn't go to destroy the enemy at all, but just ransacked it, and didn't even plan to attack the city, and the damage would definitely not be very large.

Fuck ......

"Good things are in the city, this time so many people are dispatched, if you don't attack the city and loot it, I'm afraid it will outweigh the losses!" Li Qing intended to provoke the other party's ambitions.

Unexpectedly, Hosokawa Toyohisa said firmly: "Don't worry, we have calculated, this time it will definitely be profitable!" ”

After a pause, he added: "Big profit!" ”

Li Qing: "......"

The Hosokawa clan dispatched 7,000 samurai, which is really a lot, but the problem is that the dog day is not going to fight, but to rob.

As a result, the battle will be short, and the casualties will not be significant.

In this way, if Li Qing wants to eat the Hosokawa clan, it becomes extremely difficult.

Hosokawa Toyohisa saw Li Qing's eyes glowing, and he didn't say a word, and his face sank: "Could it be that Your Excellency wants to break his promise?" ”

"Not really." Li Qing sighed lightly and said, "I'm just a little disappointed, I thought that the Hosokawa clan was ambitious and intended to completely destroy the Yamana family, and I didn't want to ...... It's so small. ”

Hosokawa Toyohisa's face turned red, and he snorted: "My Hosokawa clan is going to eat the name of the mountain after all, but not now, this has nothing to do with Your Excellency, Your Excellency only needs to keep your promise." ”

"Naturally, they will keep their promises." Li Qing smiled, "When will you leave?" ”

"The sooner the better!" Hosokawa Toyohisa said, "When I came, I was already mobilizing the samurai, and I expect that I have already left, and I hope that Your Excellency will follow as soon as possible." ”

"Tomorrow then?"

"Yes!" Hosokawa Toyohisa was overjoyed, and finally heard a happy word.

He said: "This time, I am with the team of your department, I don't know who your Excellency will send to lead the samurai?" ”

"Saburo Inoue!"

Hosokawa Toyohisa was even more happy, he had a certain understanding of Li Qing's army, and knew that Inoue Saburo was the second person after this great god.

This shows that this great god does not have a cheating mentality.

"That's the best, rest assured, Your Excellency, I've always made a commitment to the Hosokawa clan!" Hosokawa Toyohisa said seriously: "As long as your troops are brave in battle, they will never treat you badly after the war." ”

Li Qing just smiled, as a veteran of painting cakes, he didn't bother to take care of this kind of unnutritious words.

"Someone, arrange a good room for His Excellency Toyohisa Hosokawa."

"Thank you!" Hosokawa Toyohisa sat up, bowed, and promised again: "We, the Hosokawa clan, ......"

"Rest early!" Li Qing interrupted, he couldn't get used to hearing this kind of talk, especially since the other party was still a widow, and he really responded.

Hosokawa's expression froze, but he didn't care, "Farewell!" ”

He bowed his hand in learning Han etiquette, turned around and followed a warrior out of the guest hall.

Li Qing exhaled a breath of depression and said secretly: It seems that the plan has changed!

However, it is still possible to use the strategy of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, but the object is about to change, and there is little hope of eating the Hosokawa clan, so he can only take down the Yamana clan.

It's just that in this way, you have to give up your current territory......

"Let Saburo Inoue and Takumi Murakami come to see me!" Li Qing raised his voice and shouted.

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour later, the two walked in, bowed and said, "Great God." ”

Li Qing got up: "Go to the inner hall and say." ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and they hurriedly followed.

Walking into the inner hall, the Murakami craftsman at the end closed the door, and then stepped forward and asked, "Great god, but do you want to change your plan?" ”

"It's going to change." Li Qing's head was bowed.

sighed and said in a deep voice: "Don't eat Hosokawa, you should eat Yamana!" ”
