Domineering Daming

"That's it." Zhu Xu looked at Cao Huachun, and said, "Let the Ministry of War, Shen Yongmao, go to see this envoy and spend some money to borrow cavalry from Lin Danhan, as much as he can."

Cao Huachun was a little surprised, and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to see me?"

Zhu Xu snorted lightly, and said: "My Ming Dynasty is a great country, let alone a small envoy, even if Lin Danhan came in person, he is not worthy of me to meet in person."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu, and nodded secretly in his heart, Zhu Xu, more and more has the majesty and dignity that a Ming emperor should have.

"According to the order."

Just as Cao Huachun was about to turn around and leave, Zhu Xu suddenly said, "Well, that Tong Yangzhen, where is it now?"

Tong Yangzhen was Nurhachi's son-in-law, he was ranked as the second-class commander in chief, he was in charge of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, and he was quite a person in Houjin.The most important thing is that in history, he was the one who presided over the casting of the Hongyi Cannon of the Later Jin Dynasty in a few years.

Cao Huachun said: "Go back to the emperor and put him in the Dongchang Prison."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes, and said: "Pass the decree to Wei Zhongxian, this person is going to be sent back to Liaodong, tell him, you can use any method, I want this person to be my internal response to Daming!"

Tong Yangzhen, later renamed Tong Yangzheng, his granddaughter was the queen of Shunzhi in history and the biological mother of Kangxi!

This Cao Huachun didn't care, he bowed and said, "Observe the order."

With King Xin at the head of the Governor's Council, many things went smoothly.

Zhu Youjian was in Qingliu, especially with the help of Yang Lian and others, which relieved a lot of pressure, and all localities also cooperated. The Ministry of Households, Dongchang and other departments did their best to quickly collect the meals of the princes of various places. Tian, ​​according to simple calculations, there are as many as 200 million hectares in the memorabilia that come up from time to time from the household department!

If it is converted into mu, the value will have to continue to expand a hundred times!

The most important thing is that this is probably handed over by the clan, less than half of the land!

Thinking about other princes and dignitaries, ministers of the past dynasties, nobles and scholars, great merchants and big households, the number of acres raised must be an astonishing number!

Chapter 307 Lu Xiangsheng

When people are busy, it always feels like time flies.

That's what Zhu Xu thought, and it was April in a blink of an eye.

Inside the imperial study.

Lu Xiang was dressed in armor, and his breath was strong.

Lu Xiangsheng is a literati. After nearly a year of leading the army, he has become more and more military-like. Whether it is his expression or his every move, he is quite decisive, even sharp.

Zhu Xu came out from the imperial table, and said with a smile: "I heard from Mr. Sun of the Ministry of War that Mr. Lu led his troops well, with well-founded advances and retreats, and a well-organized way. They all count."

This was the second time that Lu Xiangsheng saw Zhu Xu. Unlike the last time, the current emperor was more dignified, and every move he made was as light as that of the superior.

Lu Xiangsheng raised his hand and said, "I'm just doing my best, so I don't deserve such praise from the emperor."

Lu Xiangsheng is a man of great stature and solid knowledge. If he hadn't joined the army, he must have been a generation of literati.

Zhu Xu smiled, put his hands behind his back, looked outside, and said leisurely: "The things that are assigned are valuable. In the current civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty, how many people can do this 'tasks'? , the household department is worried about the official department, the official department is worried about the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate cares about the hearts of the whole world..."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, but he agreed in his heart.

After the mid-Wanli period, people were superfluous, and everyone only cared about fighting for power and profit. There were fewer and fewer people who were sincere in doing things.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, Zhu Xu paused, and then said: "I transferred you to the camp in the west of Beijing, the Ministry of War should have explained it to you, right?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Yes, the emperor wants to conquer Liaodong by himself, and Liu Zongbing will lead the camp in the west of Beijing to follow the emperor to the north."

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Well, this is what I agreed to him at the beginning. As for you, don't worry, you will be transferred back to Shandong in a maximum of two months. In these two months, you can listen to the military department."

Although Lu Xiangsheng lowered his head, he also looked down at the back of Zhu Xu's head. He could also hear a lot of rumors outside the capital, mostly about the new emperor being "comparable to Zhengde", "young and ignorant" and so on.

However, he had a lot of contacts with Sun Chuanting, and from what he said, when he saw Zhu Xu in person again, he didn't think so, he thought about it, raised his hand and said, "If you dare to ask the emperor, can you pass Shanhaiguan?"

Zhu Xu smiled, turned to look at Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "A few days ago, Xiong Tingbi wrote to me, advising me not to go to Liaodong, secretly worried that the old Yingzong incident would repeat itself, do you want to say this too?"

The civil fortress change was not a taboo in Ming Dynasty. The military suffered a disastrous defeat, the emperor was kidnapped for many years, plus the subsequent change of seizing the gate, there are always too many unbearable things to study carefully.

Lu Xiangsheng had no embarrassment on his face when Zhu Xu told him the truth, and said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, Liaodong is as dangerous as a goose egg. If your Majesty takes the risk to go there, if something happens, the consequences will be better than what happened to Yingzong!"

Zhu Xu nodded, turned around and walked to the dragon chair to sit down, said: "You know, Sun Chuanting knows, Sun Chengzong knows, it can be said that the whole Ming Dynasty knows, do you think I don't know?"

Lu Xiangsheng turned around and said, "Then, why does the emperor insist on going to Liaodong?"

Zhu Xu had a somewhat helpless face, and said: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Mao Wenlong almost killed Amin, one of the four great Baylors of Jiannu, in Dongjiang, seriously injured Nurhachi's nephew, and captured Nurhachi My son-in-law, dozens of cities in Dongjiang watched the wind and surrendered. It was an unprecedented victory for my Ming Dynasty. But it also angered Huang Taiji, the chief thief. Since March, he has been mobilizing troops. Half a month ago, Mang Gurtai came Dalinghe, Huang Taiji also led his troops to Guangning, with more than 15 soldiers and horses, claiming 30!"

Lu Xiangsheng also knew something about the situation in Liaodong, but his heart still sank after hearing Zhu Xu's words.

15 troops!

He once remembered that when Sun Chengzong was in Liaodong, the total number of troops in Liaodong was less than [-]!This will also disperse the guards from the Daling River to the Shanhaiguan Castle!

Lu Xiangsheng's expression was firm, and he said: "Your Majesty, let's not go! My Ming Dynasty is weak, and Liaodong is retreating steadily. It is absolutely impossible to make another twists and turns!"

Sitting upright, Zhu Xu said decisively: "The emperor controls the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! Although I am young, I am not greedy for life and fear of death, and I will never be the Emperor of Yingzong! I have written the will and put it on this desk. I died in Liaodong, and by the order of the Empress Dowager, you and Sun Chuanting will bring the letter to the palace, gather all the officials, and read out the will."

Lu Xiangsheng's face changed drastically, the emperor made the worst plan!

"Your Majesty." Lu Xiangsheng knelt down violently, and said in a deep voice, "I implore the Emperor to give up this trip! I am willing to lead troops into Liaodong and fight to the death for the Emperor!"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I've made a decision, so there's no need to discuss it. Your Longchamp Army is very good, so you need to train well. I have already allocated 300 million taels to the Ministry of War, so you must not slack off..."

After half an hour, Lu Xiang rose out of the palace, looked up at the mild spring sun, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

Lu Xiangtong was waiting for him, his expression changed when he saw him, and he said, "Brother, what's the matter, did the emperor reprimand you?"

Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, strode towards the sedan chair, and at the same time said in a cold voice: "Pass on my military order, from now on in the barracks, if you dare to criticize the emperor, you will be punished with a heavy stick of sixty, and you will not intercede!"

Lu Xiangtong's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly chased him a few steps: "Brother, the sixty heavy stick will kill people!"

Lu Xiangsheng turned a deaf ear and sat in the sedan chair, the bony fingers of his fists turned white.

"Liaodong must win!"

After a long time, his face twitched slightly, and he growled.

After seeing Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Xu summoned six more ministers, King Ping and others, and naturally tried to appease him.

Cining Palace.

This time, there was one more Li Jieyu.

Mrs. Zhang looked worried, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Do you have to go to Liaodong? Didn't Mr. Sun Ge already go?"

Zhu Xu knew that in this huge Ming Dynasty, the only one who really cared about him was the sister-in-law of the emperor.
