Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhu Youxiao and his army stayed in Ningxia Town for ten days. He was waiting for supplies from the capital, mainly shells.Before he left Yulinwei, he sent people to Datong Mansion to pick up the supplies.During the waiting period, he cleaned up the civilian fields occupied by the Prince Qing's mansion and the cultivated fields of the military station, and expelled Zhu Zhuohong, the Prince of Qing who had been granted the crown prince in 45 years of Wanli, and then succeeded him.

Zhu Zhuohong is also unlucky. He is only 15 years old this year, but his situation is different from Lu Wang Zhu Changhao.He is the son of the imperial concubine Xiejue, although the princess is still in charge of the palace, but that is his own mother, unlike King Lu who is the son of a concubine, and after the death of his father at the age of six, his aunt took charge of the palace.After he came back from the capital, he told the concubine Wang the reason why he changed from prince to county king.

Concubine Wang was also confused. Seeing that the crime of losing her husband fell on her son, which made King Qing's branch change from a prince to a county king, she thought that paying the corresponding amount of money for the crime would be the end of the matter.No matter how the long history of the palace reminded her to return the military settlements and civilian fields that had been invaded over the years, she insisted that she had already given the emperor the money for atonement, and those things were over.

For this reason, Chang Shi also deliberately wrote a letter to the emperor in the name of Prince Qing's Mansion years ago.However, because Zhu Youxiao came out with the army and missed it, Liu Shimin wrote his handling opinion after reading it, and also showed it to the cabinet ministers for backup.In the reply, King Qing should return the military village and the Mintian immediately.

This reply is still on the way, and the long history of Prince Qing's Mansion has not been received yet.King Qing didn't even know that the fields in the army should be returned.

Cao Huachun carried the weeping and snotty King Qianqing out, persuading him: "You can't blame the emperor for this. What did the emperor say when he left Beijing years ago? Didn't take it to heart?

You are the prince in Prince Qing's Mansion, if something goes wrong, you can push it on the head of the Queen Dowager, and you will not be exonerated. "

"Then how can King Lu?"

Cao Huachun looked at this silly boy, and suddenly kindly wanted to explain it to him,

"Prince Lu is a concubine. After his father died, Prince Lu's mansion was under the control of his aunt. But you are his own mother, and you two are one. I'll give it to you. Got it?"

King Fei Qing didn't know whether to hate himself for being a legitimate son and a mother, or to envy King Lu for being born of a concubine.

The wealth accumulated by Prince Qing's Mansion for more than 200 years fell into the hands of Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao still gave the Queen Fei Qing's mother and son a way to survive, and asked them to send them to the residence of the Zhen Guojiang, the closest to their main branch, so that their mother and son could live on the side branch.

Whether it is good or bad can only depend on how the old concubine of the former Qing Dynasty treats the concubine.

If you ask Fang Zhenghua to say, this is retribution.

After dealing with the affairs of Prince Qing's Mansion, Wang Zhicai and Wu Jinzhong cooperated very well.The number of military settlements in Ningxia was quickly made clear.The liquidation started with Wu Jinzhong as the commander-in-chief. The usual corruption from top to bottom, under the supervision of Governor Wang Zhicai, returned the income of the past five years.

This amount alone is enough to repay the salaries of all the soldiers owed by Ningxia Town.

Yang Qi, the commander-in-chief stationed in Guyuan, also hurried over after receiving the emperor's summons.He watched Wu Jinzhong and Wang Zhicai busy clearing up the military pay owed by Ningxia Town, sweating profusely in this weather that should be dripping into ice.

Without thinking about it, he knelt down and confessed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister's incompetence and dereliction of duty have caused the military camp in Guyuan Town to be like that in Ningxia Town. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao ordered him to stand up. It is also an important town on the three sides, and Ningxia Town did not punish him. How could he single out Guyuan Town to punish him.

"I didn't come here this time to clean up the soldiers on the three sides."

Wu Jinzhong, Wang Zhicai and Yang Qi were ashamed of what they said.I was muttering in my heart, Son of Heaven, you didn't clean up the military settlements on the three sides, but you shook all the vassal kings, military settlements, and civilian fields on the three sides to the sky, and sorted them out according to the court king's laws and rules.If this came to clean up the three sides and four towns, there would be a lot of people.

But I have to say that the emperor acted generously.This time, Zhu Youxiao really did not beat anyone, nor did he kill anyone, but with the assistance of Wang Zhicai, he sorted out the occupation of the farmland in Ningxia Town over the years, and only returned the five-year gain from top to bottom. Don't correct the past.But it also ordered everyone involved in the case that if they break the law in the future, they will be punished for both crimes.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty alone, daring to embezzle the food in the army, causing soldiers to be owed wages, skinning and adding grass are all due.Exile is light.But what these soldiers fear most is exile.Wherever people like them are exiled, they will be exiled to the army. They don't have to worry about not having a bright future with military merits, but it will be miserable if their family members are involved in their crimes.The soldiers/prostitutes in the red tents set up by the Ming army barracks were basically the family members of criminal officials.

Therefore, it is already the consensus of Ningxia town not to reach out to the army.

Li Qiyuan, governor of Shaanxi Province, and Xu Yangliang, governor of Gansu Province, were summoned by the emperor, and they went to Ningxia town together with Yang Qi, the general soldier of Guyuan.Since the two of them learned that the emperor had arrived in Ningxia, they rushed to Ningxia anxiously all the way.

It's too scary, isn't it?The Tatars have been invading border areas since the autumn and winter of the previous year, and hope that the Ming Dynasty will be able to overcome the disturbance and restore the horse markets they set up in several closed places in Ningxia.The emperor came to Ningxia at this time, and the Tatars learned about it, so it can't be like Yingzong did back then.

When they arrived at Ningxia Town, they happened to see Wang Zhicai and Wu Jinzhong wanted the emperor to report the results of cleaning up the military settlements and reissuing the unpaid salaries of the soldiers.All Li Qiyuan and Xu Yangliang could do was kowtow to apologize.

"Get up, I won't punish you for the military settlements and civilian farms. You two should have received the immigration document from the household department."

Regarding the immigration from Shanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places, the Ministry of Household Affairs made it very clear in the immigration documents.The two of them, Wang Zhicai, Zhang Zhihou, and others were both Jinshi. Needless to say, there are too many reasons for governing the Yellow River. Everyone is like a mirror in their hearts.

"I'll tell you the truth. I refuse to pursue the previous matter. The important point is that the officials under the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, whether they are the governor or the governor, often change within a year or two. The court's frequent changes of officials have caused many problems that should be steadfast. The political affairs that have been completed in depth cannot be done in depth.

This is the responsibility of the court.

However, I sorted out the military settlements in Ningxia Town a few days ago, and found that the three sides owed wages not because the military settlements were not enough, but because the military officers at all levels in the military settlements from top to bottom regarded the military households and fields in the military settlements they were in charge of as own private property.

This is really intolerable.

It belonged to me, it belonged to the Ming court, and it was the food, grass and military pay that the people of Ming relied on to support the three sides and four towns against the Tatars.

Li Qing, you are a Jinshi. Do you know or remember the duties of the three governors of Shaanxi? "

Li Qiyuan was the same age as Zhu Guozuo, but he became a Jinshi in one subject later than Zhu Guozuo, but he had more experience in official career than Zhu Guozuo.He has been an official for more than 30 years, from a scholar to a county magistrate, step by step, he has left a "superior" evaluation step by step, which shows that he is serious and rigorous in his work.If it weren't for his excellent performance appraisal, he would not have been promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of War and the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the 47th year of Wanli.It is even more impossible that after Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to be the censor of the right capital and the right servant of the Ministry of War, the governor of the trilateral military affairs and the food and payment.

The emperor's question made Li Qiyuan feel ashamed. Since he took office, he has faced the constant attacks of the Tatar invaders. It can be said that he has devoted all his energy to military affairs and resisting the Tatar invaders.He never thought that the military base would be invaded to such a serious extent by military attaches.

"Your Majesty, my duty is to be the governor of Shaanxi's trilateral military affairs and also to manage food and pay. I'm ashamed that I didn't manage the food and pay properly."

If there is a seam in the ground, Li Qiyuan can get in.

"You have done a good job in military affairs, and the three sides of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia are very strong." Zhu Youxiao first affirmed Li Qiyuan's achievements, gave him a reassurance, and then told him the good news.

"A few days ago, President Wu mentioned to me that he wanted to transfer Ma Guozhu, You Shiwei and others back to Shaanxi. I have already agreed and sent a letter to the military department. When these general soldiers come back, the burden on you will be lighter. .”

Having a few more generals stationed in Shaanxi, the three-thousand-mile Great Wall jurisdiction, can also make people feel at ease.Li Qiyuan felt that the heavy pressure he had been under for a long time was suddenly relieved.

"I thank Your Majesty for your support in military affairs. But regarding food and pay, I am ashamed of entrusting His Majesty and the court."

"It's fine if you can do it well in the future. The problem of the three-sided army station did not happen after you took office. But now I have sorted it out clearly, and when you hand it over to your successor in the future, you should be as clear as you are today.

You know the three major signs of Wanli.In addition to the 100 million taels of silver in the internal funds, another 600 million taels of silver have been paid out one after another for Liaodong's emergency a few years ago.The little collected at the end of last year is only enough for the daily expenses of the inner court, and I don’t even have money to prepare for my big wedding at the end of this year. "

What Zhu Youxiao meant was that the imperial court's Taicang was empty, and the savings of internal funds were also spent. You, the governor of the three sides, should pay more attention to the food and salary in the future, and don't point out that the imperial court will transfer money again.

Li Qiyuan could understand what the emperor meant, but the other military officers in the imperial tent began to twitch again. What does your majesty mean?Could it be that we want us to chip in for him to marry his wife?

Whoops, what the Ningxia military officer thought in his heart was that this time, he wouldn't be able to get away with the income he had given out for five years.

Zhu Youxiao continued to speak to Li Qiyuan.

"This year's military soldiers have been paid in full. After this autumn's harvest, it will be up to you to see if the trilateral affairs can be done well next year. I believe you will not disappoint me?"

Not only did they make up for the arrears, but they also paid the military salary in full a year in advance, which has never happened before.

Let Zhu Youxiao say, if I don't send it out, will I still be able to swim around the Hetao with those silver coins?Even the one-year military pay of the 4 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers of the imperial army that he brought with him, he paid out with the silver of Prince Qing's Mansion, as well as the property and belongings of Prince Qing's mansion that were sold off.The remaining few thousand taels were sent to the wounded soldiers in Yulin Town.

What he told the two eunuchs who followed him was that your emperor thinks the money weighs on his waist, and the big guys don't feel heavy when they share their own money.When we return to the capital, remember to ask the household department to get the money back and put it in the inner treasury.

For this reason, Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua copied the detailed distribution figures of silver taels in units of [-] households, and asked all the military officers who handled them to sign and pledge.

The current three-sided form has never been better.Although those generals were forced to pay out the silver, the emperor exempted them from their crimes.As long as you don't do it again, you'll be fine.The most important thing is that the annual salary increase of the imperial court is more than the silver they get from corruption.The increase of generals at the grassroots level is even more obvious.For the troops guarding the border with enough food and pay, the morale of the army is stable, and there is no problem in defending the three sides and four towns.

Therefore, Li Qiyuan assured the emperor loudly: "I will do my best to guard the border town of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and will not disappoint your majesty."

The author has something to say: I really look forward to having landmines and so on today

If you've watched it for over a year, you know why.
