Domineering Daming

Sun Kewang smiled lightly, and said: "They have so many things to do now, they won't bother us. I'm sure the court will agree in all likelihood."

After Sun Kewang's words fell, the rest of the people were ready to move, with eager expressions on their faces.

Since Zhang Xianzhong can get the high position of deputy commander-in-chief, they must also have a captain, right?I want a big house, 7000 taels of silver, not too much, right?Do you want anything then?

Zhang Xianzhong looked down, and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, I have meat to eat, and I will definitely share it with everyone. The benefits are absolutely indispensable!"

Sun Kewang and the others quickly stood up and said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Xianzhong smiled with anticipation in his eyes.

Can be an official, who wants to be a bandit?What's more, one of his secret purposes for this uprising was to wait for the imperial court to summon peace!

Sun Kewang waited for everyone to calm down, and then said: "My lord, those businessmen from the south, we..."

Zhang Xianzhong frowned, not long after he started the incident, someone gave him money and food, all they wanted was one thing, the bigger the trouble he made, the more fierce the better.

Now, they are ready to be recruited by the imperial court. Should these people confess or continue to conceal them for other purposes?

"Let's talk." Zhang Xianzhong said.

This ambiguous attitude is equivalent to hiding those businessmen by default.

Zhang Xianzhong discussed it properly and immediately released the news. Zheng Shouyong's emissary quickly entered the stockade and had a secret talk with Zhang Xianzhong.

The two sides came to a conclusion soon. When the envoy returned to Shaanxi, he met Chen Xinjia first.

Chen Xinjia saw that Shaanxi could recruit security, and it would be best not to go to war.The army surrounded here, waiting for the result.

In just five days, the carrier pigeons from the capital flew back to Shaanxi, and the appointment letter of Zhang Xianzhong as the deputy commander-in-chief and the appointment of the six captains under him, plus the promised money, the house deed of the big courtyard, and the land deed were all ready. .

Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong and others were naturally quickly recruited by Chen Xinjia and escorted back to Xi'an Mansion.

Chen Xinjia is not a Jinshi, but a scholar, which is considered an anomaly in Ming Dynasty, and he rose to the top by virtue of his meritorious service.Naturally, they will not take these gangsters lightly. They seem to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but they are actually under surveillance.

A chaos that might have occurred was easily resolved by Zheng Chouyong, and the court naturally greatly appreciated it.

Zhang Xianzhong was quickly transferred to the country of Wa to suppress the successive uprisings in the country of Wa, and he only stayed in Xi'an for two days.

Then the police headquarters received 300 million "Weian gold", which was used to maintain local stability and wipe out bandits.

Regardless of Sun Chuanting's troubles, Zhu Xu stayed in Guangzhou for a while and inspected the two counties under the Shenlong Mansion. After making some plans, he didn't stay long and went to Yunnan, then passed through Guizhou and entered Sichuan.

Going down this road, it will be mid-April.

Xiong Tingbi was in Sichuan and served as the governor of the Western Theater for more than a year. He is basically familiar with Sichuan and has mastered the troops of various places.

Zhu Xu was already in Gansu Town, standing on the city wall, looking to the northwest.

Xiong Tingbi, Zu Dashou, Zhao Lvjiao, Ma Xianglin and others accompanied him, also looking into the distance.

Zhu Xu held his horsewhip behind his back, pointed to the west and said: "During the Han Dynasty, this area was all my land of China. After thousands of years, after several transfers, there is no trace of China anymore."

Xiong Tingbi and others know that the Military Intelligence Department and Jinyiwei have been infiltrating the Northwest for more than ten years, and the Ming Dynasty even had virtual provinces like Qinghai, Tibet, and Xinjiang.

It can be seen from this that the emperor had long thought about this place that was out of sight.

Ma Xianglin immediately agreed, saying: "Your Majesty, Moxi Mongolia has already surrendered, so this is my land of Ming Dynasty, and the matter of enlightenment needs to be fought first."

Xiong Tingbi glanced at him, and said: "Your Majesty, although Moxi Mongolia is divided and faces more enemies, its strength is particularly strong. It cannot be determined in one battle, and we need to wait patiently for the opportunity."

Zhu Xu turned his head to look, and his eyes fell on Zu Dashou and Zhao Liaojiao.

Zu Dashou was a little dull, but his reaction was strange. He said: "Your Majesty, you can devour it gradually. Start with Mobei Mongolia. Recently, they have been a little dishonest. They have made a lot of demands, and they intend to blackmail the court."

Zhao Ledjiao followed closely, saying: "Your Majesty, I accompanied Governor Cao all the way to the west, and saw too many of them, all of them are barbaric, savage by nature, and should be sanctified by the king."

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing. In the past, whether it was civil servants or military generals, there would have been a lot of reasons to oppose it. The word "harmony" was deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Xu is very pleased to have such an attitude now.

"I'm not in a hurry."

Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back, feeling the cold wind from the Gobi, and said, "You don't have to worry, just keep an eye on me. I'll come back five years later!"

Xiong Tingbi and the others sensed Zhu Xu's great ambitions and an unspeakable strong confidence.

Zhu Xu was expressionless, waiting anxiously in his heart.

This year is the seventh year of Jingzheng, and the 13th year of Chongzhen in history. There are still five years at most, and the disaster will gradually subside.

At that time, the "New Deal" has almost been completed, and Ming's national power will recover rapidly, and with the help of Shanghai Trade, there will be an unexpected take-off!

Chapter 1441 The Return

Zhu Xu stayed in Gansu Town for a few days, inspecting the army, fortresses and specific strategic planning.

After going through Qin Liangyu and Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Xu couldn't find anything to criticize. Seeing that the situation was better than he expected, he happily diverted to Chengdu.

Sichuan governor Wei Liangyong and others accompanied Zhu Xu to walk around, introducing various situations and observing the people's sentiments.

After returning from outside the city, Wei Liangyong and Zhu Xu took a rest in a small teahouse.Seeing that there was no one around, Wei Liangyong said: "Your Majesty, the disaster situation in Sichuan is more severe than that of Shaanxi, and the civil disturbances are also more serious than Shaanxi. It is said that the people are still hungry, their hearts are exhausted, and their morale is low..."

In Sichuan, there are not only civil unrest, but also chieftains. Many years ago, there was a major rebellion in which [-] chieftains besieged Chengdu.

Zhu Xu drank his tea and looked around.

Wei Liangyong has participated in the political affairs in Zhejiang, Guizhou, and Shaanxi. He has very rich qualifications and is especially familiar with the situation in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Guizhou.

Seeing that Zhu Xu seemed absent-minded, he continued: "Your Majesty, the chieftains gathered in Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang, Shaanxi and other places have been scattered among the immigrants, and there is no danger of chaos. Sichuan has moved out more than 300 million people. Much less stress, barely self-sufficient..."

Zhu Xu turned his head, looked at him, and suddenly said: "What do you think are the problems that restrict the development of Sichuan?"

Wei Liangyong was stunned, and quickly reacted, saying: "Sichuan is a land of abundance, fertile and wild for thousands of miles. If the disaster is over and the 'New Deal' is completed, the people will surely be rich and live and work in peace and contentment. It will become the most prosperous period in history..."

Zhu Xu looked at him, shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about, um, for example, after the disaster, what are the restrictions that restrict the further development of Sichuan?"

Wei Liangyong's mind is full of coping with the immediate disaster, but he really doesn't think much about the future. In addition, since ancient times, the government has focused on farming and mulberry. Is there anything to deliberately play here?

Wei Liangyong's heart raced, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly. The adults in front of him still didn't pay much attention to the commodity economy, and they didn't know how to develop it.

Zhu Xu also knew that it was too early to say this, so he drank some tea and said lightly: "The Ministry of Industry is vigorously building water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads, and building a network of official roads across the country. The roads in Sichuan are second to none in the country. How did you think about it?"

Wei Liangyong hurriedly said: "The minister has already applied for special funds from the imperial court to plan the roads in Sichuan, and plans to use five years to open up six main official roads in Sichuan leading to the surrounding provinces, connecting the capital, Nanzhili and other places, The internal governments will also be opened up one after another to ensure the smooth flow of official roads..."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, the smooth flow of roads is the first element of development, so we must take it to heart. I will allocate 500 million yuan to your Sichuan governor's office every year from internal funds. You have to set up a special road department. Develop with Sichuan's road construction."

Wei Liangyong looked overjoyed, stood up and raised his hand and said: "On behalf of the people of Sichuan, I thank the emperor!"
