Domineering Daming

After going on for more than half an hour, Zhu Xu still couldn't get enough of it, and knew that the real military exercise would not be seen today, so he patted the railing and laughed loudly: "Well, it's very good, good! Continue to prepare, and I will wait two days." All civil and military officials from Nanzhili will be summoned to observe, don't lose my face!"

"According to the order!"

Cao Wenzhao, Yang Zhaoji, Wu Xiang and others knelt on one knee and responded loudly.

Daming has been emphasizing civility over martial arts for too long, and their warriors have been suppressed, and they will never let go of the opportunity to be proud!

Surrounded by a group of people, Zhu Xu walked slowly in the huge camp, observing.

The layout here is far beyond Zhu Xu's imagination. All the training, logistics, and armaments are already considered "advanced". At the same time, he also found that the camp is huge, with no end to east, west, north, south.

It took a full hour for Zhu Xu to return to the Huben army camp, a rather simple courtyard.

Zhu Xu sat on the main seat, looked at nearly 20 generals, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a relaxed tone: "A strong country and a strong army complement each other. Only a strong army can build a country, and a strong country creates a strong army. The relationship between each other complements each other, and no one can do without the relationship of the other. Therefore, no one can shake the established national policy of strengthening our army!"

Cao Wenzhao and a group of people sat below, bowed slightly, and listened carefully.

Looking at this group of people, Zhu Xu pondered over the drafts that he had already had in his heart, and said slowly: "Since Xuanzong, my military affairs in the imperial court have gradually accelerated, so that in the reign of Tianqi, I couldn't find a single formation , a battle-ready army, this is also the reason why Liaodong was defeated."

"Some people circled me around Daming, thinking it was safe, and then let them go to Nanshan, enjoying the peace, doing nothing, letting the military affairs go bad, and not caring, I hate them!"

"Of course, I can't blame everyone here, and I can't blame the military generals. In my dynasty, civil servants ruled the country, and military generals were demoted. I don't know that there is no military country, and there is no military country. Our government wants to separate the government from the military, and we must always maintain strong military equipment. Always be advanced, not complacent..."

A lot of things that Zhu Xu said had little effect in the capital, but it was different here. In front of a group of generals, it must have a deafening effect!

Cao Huachun glanced at the inner prisoner who was recording not far away, and stood beside Zhu Xu, listening silently.

Zhu Xu had never uttered these words in a long way, and it was the first time he heard them.

Cao Wenzhao and others were very excited, this is the "guarantee" given to them by the emperor face to face!

This is a repositioning of "military generals" and "military administration" by the emperor or Jingzheng's new dynasty, and it is bound to have a far-reaching impact!

Zhu Xu talked at length, and finally said: "Well, I said so much just to tell everyone here that I am determined to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty, and the most important fulcrum is to build a strong army, just like Taizu Taizong. The powerful army that swept across the world, and you are all selected by me, I will not talk about the big words of worshiping generals and marquises, but it is my rule to reward those who have meritorious service!"

"The ministers are serving the emperor's life to defend me!" Cao Wenzhao and others stood up abruptly, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Xu waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A group of people on the ground were very excited. This was the emperor talking to them and making promises to them!

How many years has this happened?

Zhu Xu turned to the inner eunuch not far away, and said, "Run your pen, sign my name, send it to the cabinet, and send it to the newspaper tomorrow."

"Observe the order!" the inner supervisor said.

Then Zhu Xu talked with them, and understood from various aspects that this "chat" lasted for more than an hour, and even missed lunch.

Zhu Xu didn't let them go until he found the group of people tired. Only Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun, Cao Wenzhao and others were left in the lobby.

Cao Huachun had a chance at this moment, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Hai Niangniang and others have made arrangements. It is in a small courtyard not far from the barracks. It is very inconspicuous. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu nodded, didn't care, looked at Cao Wenzhao and said: "Old Cao, you are planning carefully. Tomorrow, I will call them over." He was a little anxious and planned to go south as soon as possible.

Cao Wenzhao said sonorously and forcefully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will guarantee with my head that nothing will go wrong!"

Zhu Xu smiled, Cao Wenzhao has always done things carefully, so he doesn't need to worry.

Taking a sip from the teacup, he turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "How is the situation outside?"

Cao Huachun said: "There is nothing unusual, it's just that there is no one in the busiest streets."

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth curled up, and he snorted imperceptibly, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take another look, there are still those people who will jump out."

Cao Huachun responded, but was curious in his heart, what exactly is the emperor going to do this time?

Chapter 684 Extreme

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and there will be a piece of golden and lush scattered in Yingtianfu.

But this piece of gold did not change Ying Tianfu's feeling of "bleakness" at all. There was no one on the street, and a cold wind passed through the area, and the dust was flying.

Now there is no need for anyone to come out to smash the store, perhaps because the atmosphere is different, more and more stores have joined the ranks of closing, and thus continue to expand, covering the entire Yingtian Mansion, and this spread to surrounding counties signs.

Countless people are discussing and speculating in secret, not knowing how this matter will end, and they are extremely worried.

On the north bank of the Qinhuai River, there is Bing You Lou.

This is the largest restaurant among the salt merchants, and it is a big symbol on the Qinhuai River.

Dozens of people gathered at this moment, divided into four tables, and each table was dressed in luxurious clothes and full of wealth.

Fatty Chen from the Hui Gang sat on the edge of the main seat, held his glass with great joy, and raised his glass to an old man in his 60s who was a seat away, and said loudly: "Uncle San, this time it's all up to you!"

The old man sitting on the main seat, with a calm expression, looked up at him, slowly picked up the wine glass, and then drained it.

Fatty Chen was overjoyed, and he poured it again quickly, then looked around, and said in an excited voice: "Everyone, today we let the governor's yamen, let the court see our strength! I believe that the court will definitely compromise in a short time. Change the salt policy, otherwise, we will never back down!"

"Never back down!"

"Never back down!"

"Never back down!"

Everyone in the restaurant followed suit, with firm expressions and burning eyes.

They are all "victims" of the "New Deal", and they gathered together not only to oppose the "Salt Policy", but also to let the imperial court see their strength and abolish the entire "Jingzheng New Deal"!

Seeing that his emotions had been mobilized, Fatty Chen smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the "third uncle" on the main seat, and said eagerly: "Third uncle, please say a few words, we are all here for you of."

As soon as Fatty Chen finished speaking, the restaurant was silent, and everyone's eyes were on this "third uncle".

The old man looked up at the crowd, a gleam in his eyes, no expression on his old face, and he said lightly: "The old man has nothing to say, the so-called 'officials force the people to rebel', we have to do it for you." , the losses of all of you here are counted as much as they are, and I will give them all, and I will never let everyone suffer!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, and they still said politely: "Third uncle is joking, how can I ask third uncle for it."

"Yes, we are all against the 'faint government' of the imperial court, and I would like to thank the third uncle for taking the lead..."

"Of course I'm conceited, it won't take long, third uncle don't need to worry!"

Fatty Chen heard a group of people showing their loyalty one by one, he quickly followed up and said, "Don't worry third uncle, we can last ten days and a half months! Third uncle don't need to be distracted by me..."

The "third uncle" listened, nodded slightly, and said after a while: "I know your worries, but they are unnecessary. The importance of Nanzhili to the court and Ming Dynasty is beyond your imagination, and the emperor will never dare to mess around !"

Fatty Chen felt relieved when he heard the words, and everyone present also smiled.

More than [-]% of the imperial court's current taxes and grains come from Jiangnan, more than [-]% of Jiangnan comes from Nanzhili, and more than [-]% of tax money directly!
