I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Before I returned to Beijing from Chahanhot, Kundu, the leader of the Aohan tribe, found the tent and said that the various tribes in Monan were dissatisfied with the Chahar tribe and were willing to submit to the imperial court."

"minister……"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Youxiao laughed, closed the book and said:

"Kun is going to come and surrender, this is a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wang Huan next to Wang Huan, and said, "It seems that the various ministries in Monan have long been dissatisfied with Chahar, and I must not let this opportunity pass."

"Go and find Wei Zhongxian yourself, and tell him to let the fans of Dongchang spread the word outside the pass."

"It means that I have long accepted the intention of accepting the surrender of all the tribes in Monan. As long as those who come to surrender, they will have a place in Guihua City, and they will not care about the past!"

"My lord is so wise!" Wang Chaofu smirked flatteringly, and then retreated respectfully.

Seeing that the emperor was so happy, without any doubt that Kun's surrender was fake, Wang Huan felt a little incredible, but he didn't dare to say more, just apologized from the sidelines.

Sometimes, don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

……

Here in the palace, these days are full of joy.

The imperial court has won a great victory, the Emperor Longyan is very happy, the concubine is happy, the queen is happy, the concubines and concubines of the palaces are happy, and the palace people are also happy.

Ginseng, silk, silk, gold, and exotic flowers and herbs of various styles were bestowed by the emperor from time to time. The masters of the palaces couldn't run out of them. When they were in a good mood, even the palace people were very happy .

Concubine Liang came out from the palace and passed the west of Kunning Palace. Although her expression was hurried along the way, her eyes were calm and her heart was indifferent.

Not long after, Concubine Liang entered the palace and went to talk to Zhang Yan.

As soon as she entered, the accompanying servants gathered with the palace people of Kunning Palace, gossiping about recent events.

"What rewards did the sisters get?" Mrs. Xu had a big mouth, and she was the first to ask when she saw people from other palaces coming.

"Oh, how can sister Xu get more!"

"Who doesn't know that His Majesty loves the empress the most, and has sent the most rewards to Kunning Palace these days. How can we compare to Sister Xu!"

Thanks to Zhu Youxiao's deliberate care, Zhang Yan's status as the head of the Central Palace has indeed improved in recent years.

The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Xu, as the female official of Kunning Palace, is now the first to get the moon, and seems to be the leader of all palaces and bureaus.

"Hey, what you guys said sounds good..." Mrs. Xu was somewhat complacent, and said in a low voice:

"Have you heard that after the defeat outside the pass, Daming paid a lot of things!"

"I've heard it a long time ago. That guy named Lin Danhan lost [-] to [-] miles on cattle, sheep and horses alone!"

"There are also people who were taken away outside the pass, and they were all sent back one after another. This year, there are so many happy events!"

Mrs. Xu chuckled, "It has to be that the master of our Kunning Palace is a mother of the world, and he settled down in the harem for the emperor."

This time, some palace maids were dissatisfied.

"What, if you want me to say, it is His Majesty who is wise and heroic!"

"Hey, sisters, the empress is the mother of the world, and your majesty is also holy and heroic. They are all powerful, all are powerful..."

When the maids gossip, there are also three or five little eunuchs passing by. They greeted each of the maids, and then continued to blow while walking.

"Let me tell you, I will have to make sacrifices to my master in the future, but my master just came back from the West Sixth Palace and rewarded a lot of good things."

"What are you doing? I came back from the Palace of Compassion and Ning. The concubine gave me a precious pearl. It is shining brightly and must be worth a lot of money!"

Hearing this, several young eunuchs all paid attention.

"Okay brother!"

"Why is the concubine so happy today, and received such a big reward?"

"The imperial court has something good to do. Recently, I have been going to various palaces to try my luck. Maybe a big gold ingot will fall from the sky and hit you on the head."

"It makes sense, it makes sense..." The eunuchs nodded repeatedly.

Chapter 563 For fame and profit

Soon, the rich results of the Hetao World War I spread to the people through the vigorous publicity of the government.

Wherever the news reached, there was joy. This victory made the upcoming Spring Festival more flavorful.

The victory of the Ming Dynasty in this battle was open and aboveboard, enough to make all the Mongolian ministries daunted!

It has been more than 200 years since the Yongle Year, and the Ming army was finally able to fight outside the Great Wall again. With the advanced strength of firearms, it severely defeated the Mongolian cavalry.

In this battle, Sun Chuanting's commanding characteristics were also highlighted, that is, every step of the way, taking defense as offense.

The Battle of Hetao took a long time, but Sun Chuanting did not give up his faint hope, and quickly made deployments in response to the sudden discovery of news, turned the opportunity into an advantage, and won a great victory.

Among them, the Qin Army, which was formed just two years ago, also displayed outstanding combat effectiveness and became famous all over the world with its great victory.

The most commendable thing is the characteristic of Qin Jun-"Car Camp".

The chariot battalion is currently the unique tactics of the Qin army, which can be attacked and defended. In the battle of Hetao, the soldiers of the Qin army formed a chariot formation, fired blunderbuss and artillery from behind the bunker, and could even be used as a mobile camp by the rest of the Ming army.

Before Sun Chuanting returned to the capital to receive meritorious service, the government and the public were full of bragging and flattery, saying that he became famous in the first battle, and that he would soon become famous and become famous in the world.

But in fact, he knew how to win this battle.

Unlike the Battle of Liaodong, which was dominated by Zhu Xieyuan's strategy, there were many accidental factors in the victory of the Battle of Hetao. Although Sun Chuanting's performance was outstanding, it mainly relied on the ability of the frontier soldiers to fight well.

Zhang Wanbang, He Renlong, Qu Jiazhen...

These frontier generals who have become famous, or who have gained fame because of this battle, are the ones who should really be rewarded.

Therefore, the wider the reputation of Dajie, the more modest and cautious Sun Chuanting's style will be, for fear of spreading rumors of domineering.

The spring breeze is pleasant, with white clouds and blue sky, and golden wind for thousands of miles.

Sun Chuanting stands in the grass pavilion on the top of the mountain, looking around.

The grass pavilion here was built in August of the fourth year of Tianqi by the order of Zhu Youxiao by the Yamen of Shuntianfu in the second year of Tianqi.

A few years ago, the imperial court began to repair roads and bridges and expand official roads in various places. With the completion of the three main halls, due to the different construction methods and urgency, they have only been completed in the last one or two years.

However, most of the thatched pavilions on the mountains in various places adopt this most simple and durable construction method, with four pillars and six corners, stone tables and benches, railings below, and thatch on the top.

Not only to save construction expenses, but also to shelter from wind and rain, strong and durable.

Sun Chuanting toasted his glass and drank it down. He looked at the bottom of the glass to Hong Chengchou and said with a smile, "Get off the horse and drink your wine, and ask you where you are?"

"Hahahaha!" Hong Chengchou laughed loudly, drank a drink and said:

"If I use this glass of thin wine to clean up your world-famous supervisor, it will not only be inferior to you, but also make people call me shabby."

"Today in the outskirts of the capital city, it's just me going south and you returning north, meeting each other by chance, just adding to the fun."

"As for the next two sentences, 'I'm not satisfied with what you say, I'll return to the Nanshan border', I don't think it can be used on you and me now!"

Sun Chuanting smiled slightly, noncommittal.

At this time, the two of them were already half-drunk, and they both pushed up their cups, stepped out of the mountain pavilion, and looked into the distance.

Because the weather is just right, you can see twenty or thirty miles at a glance.

In the north, there are many mountains and mountains, and among the ravines and valleys stands a large army barracks for the triumphant return to Beijing. The flags are flying, and the sound of charging chariots, cavalry, and drills can be heard endlessly.

In the south, there is a flat river, the river is winding, and the road to the south can be seen for a while.

Feeling the cool spring breeze cleansing his chest, and finally finished the battle, Sun Chuanting was in the midst of the world, feeling extremely happy.

Between such mountains, heaven and earth are in conflict, and I am so small, even a little insignificant.

Hong Chengchou also sighed freely, only at this time can he forget his identity and purpose, throw away the usual city mansion, and become enthusiastic and informal.

"Don't think that going to Shaanxi under the order to rectify the guards and farmland makes me feel frustrated." Suddenly, Hong Chengchou looked sideways and said with a smile.

Sun Chuanting looked at the mountains and said with a smile on his face:

"Government affairs are cumbersome and complicated, and people's hearts in the officialdom are fickle. The reason why I joined the army was to get rid of this difficulty. How can you, Hong Hengjiu, think clearly and understand the world so well."

Hong Chengchou also turned his head, stared blankly at the large army barracks under his feet, and said:

"Yes! Government affairs, officialdom, people before and after, you fight over each other... how can there be such a joy in poetry and wine as today!"

"It's just that this time His Majesty ordered me to go to Shaanxi to help the Governor of Shanxi Province to rectify the farmland. I'm afraid that he is determined to reform the guards, so I can't shirk it."

"The military base of the guard is the fundamental system of the imperial court. If something goes wrong, even if His Majesty does not punish me, it will be difficult to preserve my name!"

Sun Chuanting heard the embarrassment in his words, subconsciously asked:

"In that case, why are you going?"

Hong Chengchou glanced at him, then turned around, and said: "Brother Baigu, you always say that you have committed yourself to the army and fought on the battlefield in order to make meritorious deeds, to serve the emperor, and to be a real man."

"Do you know what I am an official for?"

Sun Chuanting shook his head.

"For fame and profit, I want to make a name in history and return to my hometown." After finishing speaking, Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Now you know why I didn't decline?"

Sun Chuanting laughed out loud, but he didn't think it was contemptible, Hong Chengchou was not pretentious, it sounded real.

"I've heard that His Majesty intends to rectify the guards. Shaanxi is a province with a large military base, and fleeing households is increasing day by day. Naturally, it will bear the brunt."

"It's really rare to be so indifferent after going to that kind of place now."

"It's not that I can take it lightly at the beginning, let me tell you quietly, most of the time, I just pretend." Hong Chengchou laughed and said:

"In Liaodong, I got over Xiong Tingbi's temper. What else can really make me angry?"

He sat down, filled a glass of wine for himself, and said:

"When I first heard His Majesty's will, I actually didn't like it."

"If you think about it carefully, the military settlement has been in existence for more than [-] years, and it is already on the verge of dying and decaying. If it can be reformed, the chief officer will definitely be famous in history."

"Even His Majesty has been preparing for the rectification of the guard for several years, and it is imperative. Why should I shirk?"

As he spoke, he handed him a glass of wine.

Sun Chuanting took it in his hand, and leaned against the railing, "In Shaanxi Province, there are as many military households in the guards as a cow's hair. How many people are literate, and how many people are familiar with history and politics?"

"What's more, local tyrants will definitely find it difficult to get in touch with each other. This is not an easy task...Have you thought about it?"

Hong Chengchou understood what he meant, just like Shandong's implementation of the new salt law. Although the imperial court's rectification of the guards was aimed at benefiting the people, they were still easily led into the wrong rhythm and became enemies of the imperial court's policies.

He sighed and took a full drink.

"Currently, almost all the guards in various places are controlled by hereditary generals. If you want to move the guards, you will definitely be enemies with the generals."

"However, nowadays there are very few generals who are as loyal as Datong Zhang and Yulin Jiang, who are loyal to the country and the king."

"Most of the generals' disciples are juniors, ignorant and incompetent, and most of them are not familiar with military affairs. They ignore military affairs on weekdays, and there are many disadvantages."

"The guard is the fundamental system of our dynasty, how can we be hasty?"

"Going back to the south now, I just want to learn from you, live up to the holy hope, and become famous all over the world!"

Chapter 564 Calling to see Li Hongji

The leaves of the iron armor slapped together, and the returning frontier soldiers stepped on iron boots to the Yongding Gate, leaving a few grains of dust in the most prosperous capital today.

The Yongding Gate official road is extremely spacious, the army stops in the middle, and there is room for pedestrians and common people to circulate on both sides.

The people on the edge of the city looked back along the ranks of the officers and soldiers, only to see several long lines densely packed in the distance, with no end in sight, no less than a hundred thousand horses.

These officers and soldiers are all clearly armored, with sabers across their waists and iron spears on their shoulders. There are about 5000 people, all of whom are carrying shotguns specially made by the Armament Department.

Such a scale has strict military discipline, and there is no chaos.

Sun Chuanting led the army back to Beijing. Yesterday, he parted from Hong Chengchou who was going to Shaanxi. With just a gesture of the hand, the officers and soldiers behind him immediately stopped and looked solemn.

"Zhang Zongbing, He Guerrilla, General Qu, and Li Hongji, take off your sabers and follow me into the palace to face the saint."

The expression on Zhang Wanbang's face remained unchanged, He Renlong and Qu Jiazhen looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

As for Li Hongji, the general manager behind him, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Supervisor, Li Hongji is just a small general. Wouldn't it be illegal to enter the palace to meet the saint?" Qu Jiazhen asked suddenly.
