I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Let me tell you, Your Majesty has ordered my father to rectify all the guards under the command of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, and the Zuo Tunwei in Jizhou will be rectified!"

"Whether you say these things or not, you will find out when the time comes."

Hearing this, Xu Jin was so frightened that he trembled all over, and suddenly slumped on the ground.

The violent beating heartbeat kept hitting his chest, pain, anger, fear... all concentrated in his heart for a while, making him unable to breathe.

……

"Haha, you haven't seen that little lady's exquisite jade feet, they are so thin and tender, they are simply a pleasure in the world!"

In the east of Jizhou City, there is a military camp.

Three officers and soldiers who participated at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain were sitting together, drinking and playing cards, while playing and reminiscing about their respective experiences.

"Exquisite and jade feet, where did you learn the words!" Someone laughed, "Ling and jade feet are nothing, I rushed into the big breasts of that householder, and I couldn't hold them with one hand!"

"At that time, she was yelling and yelling, I cut off his man first, and then from behind...haha! That's called enjoyment!"

After hearing this, several people touched their wine glasses.

"This officer and soldier deserves it!"

"Even if the imperial court finds out that we are the ones who enjoyed it and the chief soldier was killed, can they still find us?"

"Master Ma is right, drink, drink!"

"Next time there is such a beautiful event, we brothers must go first!"

While drinking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Someone lifted the tent, revealing the gloomy face of Xu Jin, the deputy chief soldier. Now on his face, he can still see half of the fear that existed when he was in the general soldier's mansion.

"Give me the three of them!" Xu Jin ordered in a deep voice.

The three of them subconsciously drew their swords, and when they saw that their superiors were coming, they all let go, thinking they were playing around with them, so the tough officer and soldier in the lead laughed even more:

"Vice General Xu, what are you talking about, take the wine?"

Xu Jin smiled coldly.

"Take you!"

"Why do you take me? What crime have I committed!" The man staggered, and was tied up by the officers and soldiers who came. He also realized that something was wrong, and he struggled and shouted:

"Why did you take me?"

"Just relying on you to bully the people at the foot of Mount Jiao!"

"That's also under the order of you and Wang Bao, what have we to do with it!!" The sturdy officers and soldiers wanted to shout again, and the other two also shouted loudly.

After Xu Jin heard this, he was even more afraid of being liquidated.

He went forward and beat the sturdy officer and soldier hard on the lower abdomen with the handle of the knife. The latter bent over holding his lower abdomen, complaining of abdominal pain and tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Cut off their tongues and feed them to the dogs!"

After Xu Jin finished speaking coldly, he turned around and left.

What frightened him was not Zhang Shize's rectification of Jizhou's military affairs, but what frightened him was Emperor Tianqi's order of the British Duke Zhang Weixian to rectify the military governor's office.

The Chinese Military Governor's Mansion has various guards and offices under its jurisdiction, most of which are located in the Jifu area, and the rest are distributed in the dangerous areas of Shandong, Zhending, and Baoding, all of which are important places.

Even a person like him can see the grand scheme of the emperor's step.

Xu Jin didn't want to be a victim of this kind of thing, he was guilty of all kinds of crimes, and Wang Bao was already dead, so he was more willing to believe that as long as he sincerely repented, there was still time for everything.

……

The next day, Zhang Shize summoned all the soldiers of the Jizhou Army in the school grounds.

He stood on the commanding platform, standing next to Xu Jin, the deputy commander who came last night and said that he wanted to change his past, and said sonorously:

"You don't need to call me little prince. I am ordered by His Majesty to rectify Jizhou's military equipment. Just like ordinary people, just call me a general."

"Yesterday's incident at the Enclave Gate, I'm afraid that in the past six months, it has become commonplace inside and outside Jizhou! I will never allow this kind of thing to happen again!"

Zhang Shize turned his head and glanced at his side, and shouted:

"Xu Jin, bring someone up!"

Xu Jin knew what his only value was, and he didn't dare to be clever. Last night, he selected trustworthy servants and captured all the officers and soldiers who participated in the Jiaoshan massacre.

There are a total of 150 officers and soldiers, all of whom have been taken to the stage.

Not surprisingly, Xu Jin ordered his servants to cut off the tongues of these offending officers and soldiers, just to avoid complications and make too much trouble.

"cut--!"

Zhang Shize drew out the wild goose-wing saber, and swung it in front of a fierce and tough soldier.

As a head fell to the ground, all the Jizhou soldiers who were still buzzing around fell silent, looking at this stalwart little prince who had just left Beijing.

"Xu Jin, what are you waiting for?"

Seeing Zhang Shize's cold gaze, Xu Jin shuddered all over, and hurriedly stepped forward to chop off a former subordinate with his own hands, and ordered:

"The general is right! You slaughtered the people, insulted the girls, and violated the military regulations. They should all be killed. Give me an order to behead them for public display!"

As soon as the voice fell, the servants stepped forward one after another.

In an instant, more than a hundred heads rolled down together, dripping with blood, and the smell of blood even spread to the streets and alleys outside the barracks.

Chapter 529 Jishiju, Mingque Pavilion

The changes in Jizhou City soon spread to the capital.

"Master, the new snacks from the food hall outside the palace have arrived." Wang Chaofu said with a smile as he watched Gong'e walk into Xinuan Pavilion with a plate of dim sum.

Zhu Youxiao stretched his waist, put down his book about the drought in Shaanxi, picked up a piece, tasted it, his eyes lit up, and asked:

"Why don't you use the Mingque Pavilion? What's unique about this food hall?"

"As far as I know, Mingque Pavilion is more famous and has an older name, right? For a long time, the imperial dim sum in the palace was sent to the palace by Mingque Pavilion..."

Not to mention, this dim sum melts in the mouth, and it is very good. Zhu Youxiao ate several pieces in a row without paying attention.

Wang Chaofu chuckled.

"Well, this is not under the control of slaves."

"I just heard that there are two kinds of pastry ingredients in Jishiju, yellow rice and sticky sorghum, which need to be purchased from outside the palace every year."

"Due to the limited supply of these two items, there are very few snacks that can be sent to the palace every year in the Jishiju. This is just brought in, and the slaves hurried to bring it to the master."

Zhu Youxiao nodded thoughtfully, picked up one piece casually, and suddenly remembered that it was already the eighth piece, smiled, put it down again, and read the memorial.

"What's the matter, aren't you used to eating?"

"This servant will order someone to go out of the palace to buy pastries from Mingque Pavilion!"

Just after Wang Chaofu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao called him, waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm not used to it, it's better than Mingquege's. I ate a few more yuan for a while, so I can't eat any more."

"You can do one thing. From now on, I can buy more pastries from the Qing Palace and send them in from the food court."

"By the way, send some to the queen and the others, they should like it."

"Slave, go do it now!"

Seeing Chaofu leaving happily, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly as he opened the booklet written by Shaanxi Governor Li Qiyuan about the severe drought in many places in Shaanxi this July.

This disaster relief is really a waste of money. A batch was just distributed in June, and there were many droughts in July, so we are asking for money for disaster relief.

It can't go on like this, no matter how much money you save, you can't afford to spend it like this.

What's more, the place where the money is spent is not only disaster relief. The bulk of it is in the military department and military expenses. For disaster relief, early preparations are needed.

Zhu Youxiao's idea was to set up an administrative department directly under the Ministry of Household Affairs, which would be in charge of disaster relief in various places.

Civil officials will definitely object, saying that it is a waste of money and people, and some people will definitely say that the scale of these disasters is not large, but they don't know what will happen to Ming Dynasty in the next ten years.

In the Little Ice River, droughts and locust plagues, which have not been encountered in successive years, can be found everywhere...

Zhu Youxiao needs to plan ahead. There is no need to seek the consent of the civil servants for this kind of thing. He knows it and just follow orders.

If they don't agree, let them talk about it. Anyway, sooner or later, they will find out how prescient their emperor is.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao approved 50 taels of silver on Li Qiyuan's booklet, then closed the memorial and said:

"Call the chief minister of the cabinet to come over."

……

On August 14th in the fourth year of Tianqi, Sun Chuanting led [-] frontier troops and elite Beijing troops, carrying new firearms such as Suifa blunderbuss and Zhenlu guns, and set off in Datong Township.

According to the plan, Sun Chuanting will go from Datong Town to Weiyuanwei, pass Chi'er Mountain, and arrive at Guihua City, the first garrison site for this battle.

The reason for choosing Guihua City is that that area has been basically divided up by the three guards of Saibei who belonged to Ming Dynasty.

For them, this is the war dividend after the war in Liaodong.

But for the imperial court, Guihua City is the center of the Tibetan Yellow Sect that was intentionally supported, and it is an important place to control the hearts of the tribes.

Since you are going to go out to fight, you should take a look along the way and use the army to deter and subdue the three guards of Saibei who have surrendered. This is also a matter of course.

This move can not only ensure that the three guards of Saibei will still support Daming in the next war, but also use practical actions to let the surrendered Mongolian tribes see their determination to drive Lin Dan Khan northward this time.

The scale of this battle was not as large as the Liaodong War, but its impact on the future situation on the frontier was similar.

If they win, the left-wing tribes and even the Monan tribes will submit to Daming.

Although the [-] households on the left wing are scattered, if they are twisted together, they will be a strong force comparable to Chahar.

If Lin Dan Khan is allowed to control the left-wing ministries, his power will grow exponentially, and the threat to the frontier will also increase day by day.

On the contrary, if Ming wins this battle, it means that the forces loyal to Chahar will be basically wiped out.

The allegiance of the [-] households of the left wing is of great significance for the recovery of the Hetao area in the future, and the establishment of Waldos to manage the left wing ministries.

The Ming army left the customs in a mighty manner, walking on the road to Guihua City, watching the border getting farther and farther away, no one was not nervous.

This is a real battle of going out of customs. Although the battle of Liaodong was also going out of customs, it was Shanhaiguan, and Liaodong was also the territory of Ming Dynasty.

But this time is different. After leaving the border and beyond the Great Wall, everything is unknown.

Even though all the people who left the customs this time were brave and skilled fighters, they were afraid that they would not be able to return to their homeland, and would die on the grassland, and their bones would not be buried in their hometown.

Sun Chuanting was the same, he was more nervous than other generals.

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed that Zhu Xieyuan should be the supervisor, the emperor's sudden trust moved him and felt the heavy burden on his shoulders.

Riding on the horse, the right hand holding the rein tightly was already dripping with sweat.

Sun Chuanting was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear the words of Zhang Wanbang, the chief soldier of Datong beside him, so he could only ask:

"What did you say?"

Zhang Wanbang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood that the supervisor Xu was also nervous.

He smiled slightly, and after experiencing Wang Bao's incident, he saw five thousand Qin troops advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, no longer as rude and presumptuous as before, and said:

"The last general is saying, is the supervisor afraid of going out to fight the Xilu this time?"

Sun Chuanting chuckled, looked towards the sunset, and said something that surprised Zhang Wanbang.

"afraid."

"The supervisor is also afraid?" Zhang Wanbang and Sun Chuanting seemed to be walking side by side, but they were still half a horse's head behind using their superb equestrian skills.

This can not only respond quickly when danger comes, but also does not affect the dialogue between the two.

Sun Chuanting glanced at him, seemed relieved, and said, "I'm also a human being, so I'm naturally afraid."

In front of the generals, Zhang Wanbang seemed to be smoothing things over for him.

"When the supervisor killed Wang Bao that day, he faced tens of thousands of soldiers from the Jizhou army, but he didn't show any fear at all. You are too modest."

Sun Chuanting laughed out loud and didn't say anything more.

Not long after, the two Ye Bu Shou galloped back, and one of them clasped his fists immediately and said, "Report to the supervisor, there is a large group of Mongolian cavalry [-] miles ahead, flying the banner of Uziyet."

Uziyet is the headquarters of King Zaisai of Fuyu, and is the most powerful tribe among the twenty or so small tribes in Fuyuwei.

The second battlefield in the Battle of Liaodong revolved around Uziyet.

Sun Chuanting nodded, indicating to continue the march, and let the Datong Army be the vanguard, adjust to the battle formation, the western captives come and go like the wind, as long as they leave the pass, they should not underestimate the enemy.
