I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Hearing this, the 22 people looked at each other in blank dismay.

But when they saw that the leader was still lying on his stomach, they didn't dare to say any words of rejection, and they pretended to be the leader.

Even if 1 people were unwilling, everyone agreed.

So far, the snow area has been brought back into the arms of Daming, and Zhu Youxiao has finally realized his ideal, changing the snow area from the previous rule of Jiji to the current real soil governance.

Although it is still a little weak now, with the garrison of a large number of Ming troops and the migration of refugees from the Central Plains in the future, Zhu Youxiao is confident that he can completely control the snow area before he dies.

King Zangba can be kept as a mascot.

The other 22 hereditary chieftains will find excuses to pull them out one by one in the future, so that the people of Ming Dynasty can control the military and government there.

Then, a few million taels more should be allocated to the Ministry of Industry, so that the official road from Lhasa to the capital, which started a few years ago, could be completed as soon as possible.

This official road is a big project, once it is completed, it will be a great achievement for him to benefit forever.

Chapter 963 Northwest Proclamation

Outside Ansai City.

After a great battle, corpses were everywhere.

The fallen flags, swords and guns intersected and fell together, just as the sun was setting, reflecting a desolate and dilapidated scene.

The official road was full of official soldiers guarding the captives and thieves, and the long and narrow queue continued from outside the city to the official army camp a few miles away.

The banner of Zhang Zihao was flying high in the air, Zhang Wanbang put down his binoculars, and said in a deep thought: "This group of thieves are quite bold, they dared to go out of the city to ambush us."

On the side, Qu Jiazhen said: "Yes, Zhentai, these rogues are different from the usual ones, and they have bypassed our army's horse scouts. This is the first time I have seen them."

Qu Jiazhen was the main general of the Datong Army who followed Zhang Wanbang in his early years, and he also participated in the battle against Lin Dan Khan.This time Zhang Wanbang was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of Shanxi. Naturally, these old generals were also promoted.

Zhang Wanbang nodded and jumped down the slope: "This is also because our army's investigation is not effective, so I asked the battalion officer of the reconnaissance cavalry battalion to come to see this town."

After a while, the battalion officer of the Datong Army's reconnaissance cavalry battalion was called in front of him.

As if he knew that he had made a mistake a long time ago, the camp officer knelt down with guilt, and said loudly: "See the town hall for humble posts!"

Zhang Wanbang said with a straight face: "This time, although the opponents are a group of rogues with no quality, you can't take it lightly."

"If it wasn't for the mistake of your sentry, you wouldn't have injured more than ten people in our forward battalion!"

The battalion officer quickly said: "What the chief town said is that a low-ranking person should be punished!"

Zhang Wanbang has always distinguished rewards and punishments, and the Datong Army also has strict military discipline. He looked around at all the generals and said, "Come here, take them down, beat twenty army sticks, and enforce the law of the army!"

The battalion officer is also a tough guy, with twenty-stick military law, he just didn't make a sound.

Zhang Wanbang looked at the battalion officer who was helped back, and said coldly: "This kind of mistake must never be repeated in our army. Zhang Yong, you can be spared the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be forgiven!"

"This town will remove you from the left camp now, Yuan Shizhong!"

A burly general in iron armor from the reconnaissance cavalry battalion came out and shouted loudly: "The humble Yuan Shizhong, see the general town!"

Zhang Wanbang said: "Zhang Yong made a big mistake, I ordered you to replace him as the battalion officer of the reconnaissance cavalry battalion. If you make mistakes in the future, he will be a role model!"

Yuan Shizhong was startled, he was both happy and surprised, and hurriedly leaned over and said: "Don't worry, the chief executive, I will be strict and conscientious in my humble position, and I will not let a mosquito or a fly go!"

Zhang Wanbang nodded in satisfaction. Yuan Shizhong was born as a bandit, but since he was incorporated into the army, he has repeatedly made military exploits, especially good at scouting.

Zhang Wanbang transferred him to the reconnaissance cavalry battalion last month, and this time he was the only one who discovered the ambush by the bandits, but Zhang Yong was suspicious and did not report it.

Up to now, Zhang Wanbang still grieves over the dozen or so soldiers who died in the trap of bandits.

Zhang Wanbang said: "The order will be passed on, the war dead will be reported to the imperial court and entered into the martyr's shrine, and the town will play a memorial to His Majesty at the meeting, and take care of their families and children."

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, the rest of the soldiers were all relieved and shouted loudly: "Long live! Long live!!"

Not far away, Li Hongji and Li Guo were squatting beside a dead body, they looked at each other and sighed, the former said: "I knew today, why bother!"

Li Guo also sighed, this self-proclaimed Eight Great King Zhang Bingzhong is also considered a man, he can fight and kill, he is a man, it makes him feel a pity.

But Zhang Bingzhong had a rebellious mind. Shanxi was pacified, but he still persisted in rebelling, and dragged a large number of people to death. There is really nothing to say.

Speaking of Sun Chuanting, he received an imperial decree just a few days ago to transfer him to Nanjing to serve as the governor of Jiangnan.

Sun Chuanting first organized the military preparations of Zhending, Baoding, and Daming Prefectures. After the extermination of Jiannu, Xu Gong was promoted to the Minister of the Nanjing Military Department to rectify Nanjing's military affairs.

Arranging Sun Chuanting to Nanjing was also the beginning of Zhu Youxiao's efforts to rectify Jiangnan's military affairs. From his succession to the present, because the water in Jiangnan is too deep, he has not interfered much in Jiangnan's military affairs.

At most, that is to let Wei Zhongxian go out to stir up the muddy water.

Up to now, military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River are the top priority, and they must be dealt with emphatically.As a traveler of later generations, Zhu Youxiao is well aware of the extent of harm that the "chaebols" in the south of the Yangtze River have done to the country.

Because the emperor is in the "God's perspective", what he sees is often different from ordinary people, and Zhu Youzheng is like this.

Therefore, this time it is not simply to suppress bandits.

Now is not the time to just ascend the throne, you can use Wei Zhongxian's hand to mess around, now everyone with a discerning eye knows that Wei Zhongxian and the so-called eunuchs are just pawns under the imperial power.

Besides, when the country is on the right track, Zhu Youxiao will not personally change the rules in some places.

There is no rule without rules, and now the people all over the world, the four vassal states, and even the western powers are all looking at me.

Therefore, acting now, Zhu Youxiao must put on the hat of a sage and benevolence, which will also benefit future comments.

Yes, the current Zhu Youxiao has already paid attention to his posthumous reputation because he has survived the crisis.

Kang Mazi can become an emperor through the ages, so why not me?

Zhu Youxiao had already prepared for this civil uprising in Shaanxi. In fact, it could be easily suppressed by relying on the Northwest Camp alone, but Zhu Youxiao did not do so.

What he was waiting for was such an opportunity, in the name of justifiably sending troops to suppress places and maintain order.

History has proved that Mr. Bai Gu, Sun Chuanting, is not an ordinary person. In fact, his thoughtfulness is even more meticulous than that of Lu Xiangsheng.

In the civil uprising, the emperor not only appointed a new governor in Shanxi, that is, himself, but also dispatched Zhang Wanbang as the general army of Shanxi to assist in the suppression of bandits.

There are only a few rogues left, and the total number is only tens of thousands of hungry people. What can we do to help?The local government army in Shanxi is not an idiot, but a regular army that has been rectified.

Should it be said that the imperial court still has hundreds of thousands of movable soldiers in Shanxi, and it still needs other provinces to assist in the suppression?

What's more, it's the world-renowned Datong Army who came?

There must be something tricky about it, since Sun Chuanting received the imperial edict of transfer, he has been thinking about this issue, so he seems worried all day long, so much so that the Shanxi officials beside him thought he was afraid.

On this day, Sun Chuanting was in the Governor's Mansion in Taiyuan, Shanxi, when an official came excitedly.

"Good news, good news!" The official shouted as soon as he came in: "Your Excellency, good news, Zhang Zongbing defeated more than [-] rogues outside Ansai City, and the leader of the bandits, Zhang Bingzhong, also died in the rebellion!"

This is indeed good news, and the governor's mansion was filled with joy.

The rogues led by Zhang Bingzhong are the last large-scale rogue army in Shanxi. His demise marks that the three northwestern provinces have been completely suppressed by the imperial court.

The officials congratulated and celebrated each other, because for them, isn't this a kind of military merit?As a civil servant of the governor's office, it is even more meritorious.

There is actually something to be said here. There are no civil servants in the Governor's Mansion, and almost all of them are dispatched from Beijing.

In other words, these are people from Zhu Youxiao.

Suppressing the bandits this time is not a great achievement, but Zhu Youxiao wants to make it bigger, so that he can add officials and ranks to his own people justifiably.

Afterwards, the suppression of bandits in Shanxi ended, and the civil servants of the Governor's Mansion naturally had to stay in Shanxi.

There are those who are promoted, and those who are demoted or resigned. This kind of rebellion on a province-wide scale will definitely bring out a group of officials to question them.

Most of these people are the spokespersons of the local gentry.

Without them, the place is full of joy and beauty. Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, complied with the people's will and practiced literary and martial arts. He not only eliminated local forces, but also placed officials loyal to the court and the emperor.

Since then, the northwest area has been completely pacified.

Sun Chuanting naturally understood this, so there was no smile on his face, and his eyes were already looking to the south.

He knew that the emperor was going to attack Jiangnan.

Chapter 964 Can't Relax

Some "sighted people" have discovered the current changes in the officialdom in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, after the bandits were suppressed in Shanxi, Zhang Wanbang, who was originally a famous general of the dynasty, was finally promoted to the general army of Shanxi.

After that, the generals at all levels of the entire Datong Army were promoted one after another.

Zhu Youxiao had been prepared for a long time, and the influence caused by the bandits in the local area was minimal, but he still dealt with a large number of arrogant, lawless, corrupt and erroneous generals.

These dismissed generals were naturally replaced by Datong generals who were loyal to the court and those "students of the Son of Heaven" who came out of the Royal Martial Arts Academy.

The situation in civil and military affairs is similar. Zhu Youxiao pursued the crimes of the civil uprisings in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the prefects alone dealt with seven people.

This was a major earthquake in the officialdom, but the people were not affected in the slightest.

Of course, there are still some people who can see that the emperor is using civil uprisings to eradicate dissidents. Under the rumors, the people are also talking about it.

This is only the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, such as Beizhili, and now all the emperor's own people have changed cities.

Those tyrants and local officials who did not obey the imperial court, the former were all taken down by Dongchang and Jinyiwei under various names, and the latter were also dismissed from office and secretly surrendered under various guises.

All in all, compared with the past 50 years, the current officialdom is quite comfortable.

Zhu Youxiao is comfortable, but those chaebols who have been entrenched in Jiangnan for a long time are uncomfortable. They can all guess what is going to happen, but there is nothing they can do.

"Everyone tell me, what should we do in this situation?" An old man in a purple silk robe caressed his beard, and the expression in his eyes was far less indifferent than what he said.

The few people around are also the leading business leaders in the south of the Yangtze River. Ten years ago, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they covered the sky with one hand in various places.

But now, they are very vulnerable.

A businessman with a big belly heard the words and said: "I said it a few years ago, the imperial court set up that royal chamber of commerce, but it has no good intentions."

Another businessman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sneered: "Zheng Dongjia, what's the use of talking about it now? Sun Chuanting is about to take up his post in Jinling."

"When he comes, we're all over."

Zheng Dong's eyes lit up: "Hey! Why don't we run south, and move all our belongings to the south!"

The old man in purple at the head shook his head: "No, a lot of what I'm doing is brought over from the Central Plains with my family a few years ago. How is it now? Isn't the imperial court still chasing after me?"

"There is only one way to solve this matter once and for all."

Only then did everyone get up their spirits and moved closer.

"I would like to hear about Qian's tricks!"

The purpose of the emperor's transfer of Sun Chuanting to be the governor of Jiangnan could not be more obvious.

If it can be said that Sun Chuanting went to the governor of Shanxi to suppress bandits, then what did he come to Jiangnan for?There is no banditry or famine in the south of the Yangtze River singing and dancing, so why use him as a governor?

You must know that an official with military and political power like the governor is not appointed casually.

Generally, the imperial court would temporarily appoint governors only in places where the situation needed to be stabilized. The emperor set up governors in the south of the Yangtze River, and he should know what his thoughts were.

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Empress Zhang Yan, Concubine Yu Tong Jing'er, Concubine Liang Wang, Concubine Chun Duan and others anxiously accompanied the dragon bed, watching the imperial physician insert a silver needle into Emperor Tianqi's body.

Due to the long-term sedentary and lack of exercise, Zhu Youxiao is only in his twenties, but his body is not as good as that of a normal 20-year-old young man in later generations.

I don't know if it's the cold weather or what, but Zhu Youxiao has caught three colds in the past two months.

After two days of sleepless nights, Zhu Youxiao felt that his nose was ventilated and his head was not hurting so much today, so he sat up and exhaled lightly.

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian was the first to rush forward, and shouted tearfully: "The emperor is overjoyed, the emperor's auspicious person has his own destiny!"

Zhang Yan was still a little annoyed with Wei Zhongxian, but since the emperor was present, she couldn't scold him too much. She frowned and said to the imperial physician:

"How is Your Majesty?"

The imperial physician put away the silver needle, knelt down and said, "Go back to empress, ladies and gentlemen, your majesty's body will be cured after taking a few doses of hot medicine to remove the cold air."

"God bless Daming, God bless Daming..." Zhang Yan let out a sigh of relief, weeping with joy.

Concubine Yu Tong Jing'er also clasped her hands together, praying and thanking God unceasingly, and also gave his emperor a life of vigor and vitality.

Zhu Youxiao felt that it was because too much government affairs made his body weak, so he always caught colds.

For the rest, I didn't really think too much about it.

However, as an emperor, this kind of situation is really out of control sometimes, especially now that Daming has just entered the right track, and all parties inside and outside are still eyeing, there is no room for slack!
