I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"well!"

Zhu Xieyuan signaled him to stand up, and he himself got up and walked down the steps to the wooden figures.

All I saw was that the venue at this time was already in a mess, Mongolian and Eight Banners armors were scattered all over the place, and they all became useless tatters.

In front of the cannon, the Eight Banners heavy armor is no different from a layer of paper!

He turned to the civil servant and continued to ask:

"You just said that there are several old cannons sent by the Ordnance Department, and how they have been improved. Tell me about them one by one."

The current Zhu Xieyuan is looking forward to the Armament Department set up by the emperor.

Chapter 311 The Pledge of the Suburbs of Beijing

In the capital camp, Zhu Xieyuan has arrived for many days.

In addition to communicating with the generals to deepen their understanding, they also ran between the camp and the Ministry of War to discuss battle strategies with officials of the Ministry of War in advance.

Different from the differences between Xiong Tingbi and the Ministry of War at that time, the Ministry of War led by Cui Chengxiu had been selected as Fuyuwei because of the basic battlefield.

The rest is just to discuss how to enter the army and where to place the military station.

Fuyuwei, one of the three guards of Liangha in Mingwu, was named after Hui Yi'er and others who were timid and pity thousands of households. It was established in Hongwu 22 and belonged to the capital of Daning.

The jurisdiction of Fuyuwei was initially located in the lower reaches of Nenjiang River in Heilongjiang Province. After Xuande and Zhengtong moved southward, it is now in Liaoyang, Shenyang, Tieling, Kaiyuan and other cities and counties in Liaoning Province.

In the late Jiajing period, due to the imperial court's shrinkage and inaction in border affairs, the Tatar forces grew stronger and continued to invade the south. Through war, they forcibly annexed the weaker Duoyan and Taining tribes among the three guards of Wuliangha.

The Fuyu tribe was spared from this disaster because of its relatively strong influence, and the Yan family has remained to this day.

Historically, in this war, the Fuyu Department was attacked and destroyed by the five coalition forces led by the Horqin Department.

Its leader, Zai Sai, also fled to the grassland with his wife and disappeared.

Under the guidance of Hou Jin, the Horqin tribe annexed the Fuyu tribe through war and became the largest tribe in Mobei, threatening the Khan status of the Chahar tribe in Monan Mongolia.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has completely withdrawn from the border affairs. Except for a small number of Monan Mongolia who are loyal to the Chahar tribe, most of the other Mongolian tribes are vying to belong to Houjin.

The consequence of this battle was that the Guangning and Songjin lines were directly threatened by the soldiers of Mongolia and Houjin, forcing the Ming Dynasty to adopt Yuan Chonghuan's strategy.

That is to expand the Liao army by 12, build border forts along the Songjin line, spend countless silver taels every year, and build a loose and broken Songjin defense line.

Although the Songjin line of defense could withstand Houjin's frontal soldiers, it could not suppress Mongolia. If it got to that point, it would be a situation where the east wall was demolished to make up for the west wall.

It has to be said that if Zhu Youxiao hadn't tried his best to stop this move of Nurhachi's move, according to history, the impact would have been very significant.

Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, pressed the map and said:

"The Ministry has already issued a document. After the war, the Liao and Shen armies will follow Xiong Tingbi's orders, and the Ministry of War will never interfere in the slightest."

He sneered:

"Xiong Tingbi has always had his wishful thinking. The case of Wang Huazhen is the best example. If the Ministry of War takes command without authorization, it is easy to make mistakes."

In fact, he also has his own ideas in doing so.

Xiong Tingbi was deeply trusted by the emperor, and he was a straight-hearted guy. You can see how miserable Zhang Heming, the previous Minister of the Ministry of War, was scolded by him.

Cui Chengxiu doesn't want to provoke a powder keg that explodes at the first touch...

Let Xiong Tingbi handle the affairs there by himself. The news from the Ministry of War in the words is inconvenient, and the remote command will delay the battle. This is certainly one of the reasons.

But Cui Chengxiu is not a gentleman, for him, the greater credit for this time is Fuyuwei, not Liaoshen.

Regarding Liaoshen, he also did this to delegate power to Xiong Tingbi, not to compete with him, and not to participate in the success or failure of Liaoyang and Shenyang.

According to his estimation, the 10,000 defenders in Shenyang were surrounded by [-]+ Jiannu. No matter how brave Man Gui was, there was a high probability that he would not be able to defend it.

This crime can be pushed out naturally.

Anyway, when the time comes, I can just take care of the Fuyuwei War. The Liaoshen War was fought by Xiong Tingbi himself, and the Ministry of War has no constraints at all. Success or failure has nothing to do with him.

What's more, doing so can also give the emperor the illusion that he trusts Xiong Tingbi.

As Cui Chengxiu said, he looked at the officials of the Ministry of War and saw that they had no objections. He felt a little more at ease, got up and paced around the sand table, and said in a deep voice:

"Going out this time, we should learn from the disadvantages of the Saarhu War three years ago."

"Guangning should not move lightly. The Ministry of War issued an official document to ask Yuan Chonghuan to lead Ningyuan's [-] troops to station outside Jinzhou City. He would follow the orders of the Ministry of War at any time and move north and south for maneuver."

In the eyes of everyone in the Ministry of War, there is indeed nothing wrong with Yuan Chonghuan being the mobile team.

After all, Yuan Chonghuan was strongly recommended by Sun Chengzong. In this kind of large-scale war, it would be too disrespectful for the dignified emperor to not let him go out to pick up a leak.

Cui Chengxiu turned his attention to North Korea, thought for a while before saying:

"The headquarters wants to conquer [-] people from North Korea. They will contain them in several ways and attack them all the way. We will finish the work within about one year of age, so that we can make all the achievements!"

"What do you think?"

Cui Chengxiu looked around everyone, especially at Zhu Xieyuan.

This idea also existed during the Battle of Sarhu, and it was put into practice at that time. Facts have proved that the combat effectiveness of the Korean army is really not flattering.

In the Battle of Sarhu, the North Korean army was mixed into the imperial court army. Originally, they wanted them to make up the number and overwhelm the opponent in number.

But when the North Korean army came, instead of playing a positive role, it was the first to flee from the battle, running faster than any part of the Ming army.

It made the Ming army think that the front line was defeated, and ran away with them. Before the army had fought much, they lost their morale and were chased by the Jurchen all the way back to the pass.

So Cui Chengxiu proposed to ask North Korea to assist this time, and he quickly got opposition.

All the ministers of the Ministry of War have the same opinions. It is better not to come if North Korea conscripts come. Don’t let these guys come and cause us trouble. As long as they don’t hold back Daming, they are better than anything else!

Cui Chengxiu wants to cry but has no tears. Yang Gao's idiot mistake, can he make it again?

He explained that this time, the emperor simply sent an edict to North Korea, asking them to fully cooperate with the Dongjiang army's butt-stealing operation, and not let them send troops to mix up.

This edict was not issued, and Mao Wenlong did not have the authority to mobilize the North Korean army and allow North Korea to help the Dongjiang army. To put it bluntly, the road to the south is the Dongjiang army, not North Korea.

Of course, Cui Chengxiu is not afraid that North Korea will be ordered not to move.

Although Da Ming's appeal after the war in Saerhu was significantly weakened, the camels were bigger than horses, and North Korea was still honest and law-abiding, basically obeying no edicts.

Even if they didn't follow the edict, Cui Chengxiu didn't have anything to worry about, and he didn't expect them to be of any help.

As long as they win this time, North Korea will have to double the compensation to please Ming, and it depends on what the Emperor Apocalypse wants to ask for.

When Cui Chengxiu said this, the officials of the Ministry of War and Zhu Xieyuan suddenly realized, and said that Cui Butang was thoughtful, and then flattered him.

Although Cui Chengxiu knew in his heart that he believed them to be ghosts, he still responded happily just like when Zhu Youxiao heard these words.

Who doesn't like to hear flattering words?Talk more if you can!

Soon, the relevant war strategy of the Ministry of War was fully implemented.

Yuan Chonghuan's Ningyuan Army was stationed in Jinzhou as a mobile force, which could come and go for support at any time. Naturally, this was for Sun Chengzong's sake.

In addition, the Chahar Tribe, Monan Mongolian Tribes, and North Korea were ordered to respond to the Fuyu Tribe and the Dongjiang Army from the north and the south, and contain the five Horqin coalition forces and the Houjin Army.

As for the 16 troops that Zhu Xieyuan, a camp on the outskirts of Beijing, has ordered and reported, the Ministry of War will soon issue an appeal to captives, which will be announced to the world after Zhu Youxiao's ruling.

Jiannu claims to be 12, and this time Daming directly claims to have an army of 25, saying that it has gathered troops from the Jiubian Army Town and the towns of Jifu.

Of course, the real situation is that only six of them came from the Nine Sides, and not all the towns in Jifu were emptied.

Or they just make a fuss about how my Ming Dynasty descended to earth with soldiers from heaven to attack and destroy Jiannu, how stupid Jiannu is, they will definitely not be able to defeat my Ming Dynasty, and so on.

The higher-ups also said that this time the army will go straight to Yizhou through Ningjin Road, and then transfer to Liaoyang to help Shenyang.

This is a very straightforward way of blinding the eyes. It is used to deceive Jiannu. It is best for them to believe it. Even if they are found out, they must bite the bullet and save Fu Yubu.

It can be seen from Lindan Batur's treacherous behavior that there are not many two dogs around Daming who are desperate to disperse the tribe like Zaisai and want to follow Daming and Jiannu.

When the time comes, Houjin will have to weigh in on receiving the proclamation. Which of the two news released by the Ming Dynasty is true, whether to stay in Shenyang and continue the feint attack, or to transfer to Fuyuwei to support the Horqin Five.

Soon, on the third day of February in the third year of the apocalypse, amidst the long-simmering revenge upsurge across the country, the day for the swearing-in to go to war finally arrived.

On this day, Zhu Xieyuan stood on a high platform wearing the fish-scale armor bestowed by Emperor Apocalypse, with Shangfang's sword slung around his waist.

He looked at the densely packed, endless army, and his heart was surging.

The next moment, he drew out his saber, pointed to the east, and shouted loudly:

"The three armies listen to the order and go out!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!!"

The 16 soldiers of the Ming army raised their swords and guns, and the shouts resounded through the sky, reaching the homes of every household in Beijing. They walked towards the distant battlefield with indomitable steps.

At this time, Fuyuwei is engaged in an unprecedentedly fierce battle!

Chapter 312 Man Gui Can Only Carry Itself This Time

Reform in Nanjing is not something that can be done in a day or two. After the reform of the Six Departments, there are two benefits that can be seen now.

First, the cutting of leather by various ministries in Nanjing can save Zhu Youxiao a large sum of money every year, which can be used in useful places.

Second, in addition to the yamen, the ministries and institutes also have a large number of houses and courtyards in Nanjing.

For example, the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing has more than [-] houses in the suburbs of Nanjing alone.

It is said that it is used to store the work tools and utensils used by the imperial court, but everyone knows that there are no work tools and utensils, but they are just a bunch of useless empty houses.

Each of these houses bears the name used by the imperial court. In fact, officials from the Nanjing Ministry of Industry have long leased them to merchants in Nanzhili to store goods and obtain private money.

The dirty work of the Ministry of Industry is just the tip of the iceberg, and it is even more insignificant compared to the entire corrupt Nanjing officialdom.

Some people of insight can see that the Ming Dynasty is currently at war between the north and the south.

Zhu Xieyuan was ordered by the emperor to supervise the army to go out to fight with Jiannu and Mongols, while Zhu Youxiao sat in Nanjing and personally presided over this reform war without gunpowder.

This kind of reform, without the emperor personally sitting in charge, any chaos may arise.

Even Zhu Youxiao stayed here in person, ready to send troops to deal with the turmoil at any time, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks followed one after another.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, which is an eternal truth.

On the bright side, the houses and courtyards of the six ministries, including the Ministry of Industry, must be cleaned up again, following the arrangements of Zhu Youxiao and the Beijing Six Ministries.

Whether it should be rebuilt or returned to the people, or be used as a granary for storage and resettlement of displaced people, these are all open to discussion.

Anyway, as far as the whole country is concerned, the abolition of the Nanjing Ministry of Education will relieve the tense situation in various places.

Of course, the place is getting looser, and Zhu Youxiao is in Nanjing, but he has to keep an eye on six roads and listen to all directions. In addition to guarding against the tricks of those officials, gentry and chaebols, he must always pay attention to his own safety.

Huang Degong took the guards of the Yongwei Camp with him, and he didn't dare to stay away even an inch, for fear that if someone didn't pay attention, the emperor would be assassinated.

As for Zhu Youxiao himself, he still pays great attention to his own life.

Since leaving the palace, the three meals a day are simple tea and light rice, and occasionally go to the folks to have a meal in private. As for the three things that I used to love most, I dare not touch them at all.

There is no way, I am afraid that someone will poison you...

The most difficult thing is not to mobilize the interests that are privately tied to the chaebols such as the Ministry of Industry, but it is difficult to deal with a large number of court officials who are spared.

It's easy to dodge the open gun, but it's hard to defend against the dark arrow!

If this group of people lost their heads and really dared to make it clear that they resisted the decree and did not obey it, and confronted himself, the emperor, Zhu Youxiao would dare to order them to ransack their homes and exterminate them.

Compared with the emperor who holds military power in his hands, no matter how powerful he is, he is weak.

But the problem is, these people are not fools, they will not give you any excuses, they are all playing tricks, and the officials also colluded with them in private, it is really hard to guard against.

Most of these dismissed officials in Nanjing are such people. Zhu Youxiao can't kill all the officials at once, and then ransack the houses of the chaebols one by one.

You know, such killings are groundless, there are more innocent people than damned people, and they can't be cleaned up no matter what. The "Beijing News" and the factory guard also have a limit to their propaganda.

No matter how much you publicize, the common people will think that you are tyrannical, and when you get to that point, you will be completely alone.

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. jumped out again, activated their passive skills, and attacked with both inside and outside, and the game was over for themselves.

We can only take it one step at a time. If you are here to reform yourself, just pretend you don’t know it, and wait for them to act first, collect hard evidence, and subdue the opposition with one blow.

These dismissed officials are not monolithic, but they are actually easy to deal with.

They were originally in the leisurely yamen in Nanjing, and they sat there all day long, except for party struggles, their minds were only thinking about how to make money.

This time, after the reform, they didn't even have to go to the "office". They stayed at home all day, thinking about how the court would arrange for them officials who had been "relegated" here to take up their posts in other places.

But although the world is big, how can there be so many vacancies?

Zhu Youxiao has been negotiating with the civil servants in the past few days to select talented people from this large number of officials for another appointment. Needless to say, the rest should be revoked.
