Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu didn't care about this. This is part of the culture, and it will be exported in the future. He smiled while eating: "This year will be the third one, and I will go to see it in person. Maybe I can eat more. delicious……"

Qin Liangyu echoed with a smile, and accompanied Zhu Xu to eat, within the etiquette of courtiers, he was neither humble nor overbearing, with a dignified demeanor.

Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi were very reserved, motionless, and their eyes met each other from time to time.

It was the first time they had dinner in Qianqing Palace. The emperor was the most enthusiastic person at the wine table, but the few of them seemed very "cold", which made them especially embarrassed and helpless.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu's enthusiasm that he had never shown before, and looked at Qin Liangyu calmly, thoughtful.

Listening to Zhu Xu talking about the "Kitchen God Contest", he shook his head secretly. There are many opposition voices from the ruling and opposition parties. They think that food should be saved at present, and these "uncanny tricks" should not be used. They strongly demand that the Ministry of Industry cancel it and save everything. The money is used to relieve victims of disasters.

But these were all ignored by Zhu Xu, and everything remained the same.

The atmosphere on the wine table was quite lively, Zhu Xu persuaded him to drink one after another, even if Qin Liangyu kept his etiquette, under Zhu Xu's enthusiasm, he still drank a little too much, and the conversation gradually opened up.

"Your Majesty is so kind, I dare not be a minister..."

"A minister should work hard for the country, be loyal to the emperor and serve the master, and live up to the entrustment..."

"I have never slacked off in Sichuan. In one day, the six provinces including Shaanxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Gansu will never be in danger..."

Zhu Xu took Qin Liangyu's hand, his face was flushed, and he said with a smile: "I am relieved, very relieved! I will entrust Shaanxi and Gansu to the old general. If it is replaced by someone else, I am not at ease... My Ming Dynasty has a vast land , cannot be counted, but the danger of the country must be in Shanchuan..."

Qin Liangyu was still sober, and heard the words: "The minister is in Sichuan, and Shaanxi is deploying heavy troops, and they are intertwined. If the court is stable, Shaanxi and Gansu must not worry..."

Zhu Xu breathed out the alcohol and said, "Shaanxi and Gansu are more important than everything else. All personnel affairs, military pay, and disaster relief money and food are all in the balance. There can be no chaos. Don't worry, the old general..."

Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi looked at the old and the young swaying there, talking about the important affairs of the country, they couldn't help feeling a little headache, wondering if they could still remember when they were sober.

Sun Chengzong has now understood that the reason why he attended the ceremony was probably to let him listen to these words.

"The crisis of the country lies first in Shanchuan..."

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu with a fixed expression. Regarding the danger of the country, the government and the public in the past thought he was a slave. Now it seems that in the emperor's heart, he has always been "Shaanchuan"!

Zhu Xu's drinking ability is not good, even though he drank less than Qin Liangyu, he was still drunk in front of her.

Qin Liangyu was rushing into Beijing, exhausted all the way, and with a meal of wine and food, she was drunk and shaky, staggering.

At this time, Zhang Yun came, looked at Zhu Xu who was drunk on the chair, and hurried over.

Sun Chengzong, Ma Xianglin, and Zhang Fengyi hurriedly got up, saluted and said, "I've seen your mother."

It wasn't long before Zhang Yun stayed in the harem, and the outer court didn't know much about it. In addition, the palace was always like an abyss, and the outer court couldn't find out clearly, so Sun Chengzong could only deal with it carefully.

Ma Xianglin, Zhang Fengyi is even more so, they dare not neglect at all.

Zhang Jun helped Zhu Xu up, saw him drunk for the first time, turned to look at Sun Chengzong and the others, smiled and said: "Mianli, Mr. Sun Ge, General Qin and General Ma, madam, I will arrange for you , you go back first, if there are other things, the emperor wakes up and will summon you."

Knowing that Zhu Xu had made arrangements before, Sun Chengzong raised his hand and said, "Yes, I will retire."

Zhang Yun looked at Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi, and said, "Your rooms have been arranged. Someone will take you there later, and the old general will arrange them properly. Don't worry."

Naturally, Ma Xianglin and his wife would not refute, and said repeatedly: "Yes, I will listen to your mother's orders."

Zhang Yun smiled slightly, ordered someone to prepare hot water towels, and carefully carried Zhu Xu and Qin Liangyu out.

When Zhu Xu was drunk, more general soldiers entered Beijing one after another. Zuo Fu from Jiangxi, Wu Xiang from Jiangsu, Hong Chengchou from Huguang, Yang Zhaoji from Zhejiang, Lu Qin from Shanxi, etc., all entered the capital within a day. Beijing.

Bi Ziyan did not intervene in military affairs, Sun Chuanting went to North Korea, King Jing, Wang Qiaonian were busy with the Supervisory Council, Dali Temple, and all military affairs were pushed to Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War.

Compared with the "New Deal", the "military reform" is actually not complicated. The imperial court has the absolute ability to control all local troops. What Sun Chengzong has to do is to persuade some key figures, such as Qin Liangyu, Xiong Tingbi, Cao Wenzhao, etc. Someone who is a powerful person or a trusted confidant of Zhu Xu.

The "Military Reform" was based on Zhu Xu's idea, but Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War mainly implemented it. They added too many things to it, full of "checks and balances", and there was no lack of weakening of local military power and even military strength. In order to ensure the absolute stability of the country.

Zhu Xu saw all these things, but he didn't say clearly that his ideas were destined to conflict with Sun Chengzong and others. This kind of conflict is still irreconcilable. They will not agree, and it is bound to cause confrontation between the monarch and his ministers!

Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others also knew very well that their "military reform" probably did not meet Zhu Xu's expectations, but they could not bow their heads, otherwise the country would be unstable and the country would be in danger.

This kind of cold confrontation has been going on quietly, and no one has pointed it out.

Sun Chengzong and others have been using various methods to create a fait accompli in order to force Zhu Xu to give up some terrible ideas.

Just when Zhu Xu was drunk, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others met with generals from all over the country non-stop, using both hard and soft tactics to force them to agree with the current "military reform" strategy.

Xiong Tingbi couldn't get away from Liaodong and did not enter Beijing. Cao Wenzhao was still training in Shanxi, Qin Liangyu was in the palace, and Sun Chengzong could persuade very limited people.

The commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, Gansu and other six provinces basically looked forward to Qin Liangyu, those on the southeast coast generally looked at Cao Wenzhao, and most of the north were Sun Chengzong's old subordinates, but because of Xiong Tingbi's relationship with Liaodong for many years, his attitude was somewhat ambiguous. Therefore, the people Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War can persuade are quite limited.

Before Zhu Xu made a clear statement, some people's minds would not follow Sun Chengzong.

The "military reform" fell into a stalemate for a while, which made Sun Chengzong and others quite a headache and worried.

At the same time, Guihua City.

Lin Danhan looked at Nikru with a cold expression, and said, "You mean, the Ming people pushed the start of the war to April [-]th?"

Niklu looked serious, and said: "Yes. According to Anda Shan Taiji's letter, the Ming Dynasty is undergoing a huge reform, so I don't have the energy to take care of it, so I have to postpone it until the fifteenth."

Sitting there, Lin Danhan's expression changed involuntarily.

There are only a few days away from April [-]st. These days, they in Chahar are jittery and cautious. They did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would postpone the war.

This sounds a bit unbelievable. The morale of an army is very important. If you say you want to fight, you can fight it, and you can postpone it if you say it.

Although this is not good for the Ming Dynasty, it is also a torment for Chahar. They have to keep their defenses tight, when will it be the end?

Niklu naturally understood this truth, looked at Lin Danhan, and said, "Khan, you must not relax during this period. If this is the Ming Dynasty's trick, we will be fooled."

Lin Danhan is also a man who knows the soldiers, and said with a steady expression: "This Khan knows. But we can't wait... Tell me, can we preemptively strike?"

Chapter 1013 Chahar's last resort

Lin Danhan looked at Nick Lu with a hint of eagerness on his face.

Since Lin Dan Khan succeeded the Great Khan, Chahar has also risen rapidly, and Chahar has been bullied. It has been a long time since he won a victory.After all, Lin Danhan is a man on horseback, he is eager to fight!

Nicklu looked at Lin Danhan with a calm face, and said, "If the Khan preemptively strikes, where will he go?"

Lin Dan sweated, frowned and thought for a while, and said for a while: "How about the civil fortress? The Ming people defeated here once. If they can break through the gate, they may completely break the Ming people's arrangement and defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. Total victory!"

Nicklu shook his head, and said, "Not to mention the [-] elite cavalry and [-] armored cavalry of the Chijin Guards, but the hundreds of cannons at the Great Wall Pass are just for defense against us. Is the Great Khan really confident to break through the pass?"

Lin Danhan frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Then I will lead my troops to raid Shenyang overnight, where there is no obstacle, if I surround Shenyang, the Ming people will be too busy to take care of themselves, and will not attack Guihua City again. Break it, maybe the overall situation will change?"

Nicklu was silent for a moment, and said: "Ming people attach great importance to Liaodong. Not to mention Dorgon's [-] elite slaves, but just to explain the management of the dynasty for several years, Shenyang City may not be able to fall even if it is surrounded for a year or so. People can drag it, but we can't waste it."

Lin Danhan looked dignified, and at the same time a little ugly.
