Renshou Palace.
Queen Mother Sun stared at the tea cup for a long time.
The two concubines in the harem are both pregnant.
The emperor who was stabbed in the back and thought he had no family, actually has a son!
Even if I don’t give birth to a son this time.
But the pregnancy of two concubines shows that there is no problem with the emperor's health, and more concubines will be pregnant in the future!
It was only a matter of time before I had a son.
I heard that the emperor visited Hu Guiju last night.
The daughters serving in the palace today are all eager to try and climb the dragon and follow the phoenix.
She stayed up all night.
Sitting there all night.
The remaining glimmer of hope in my heart was also being shattered.
This morning the East Palace was also in a state of turmoil.
Zhu Jianshen, wearing the crown prince's crown robe, knelt outside the gate of Qianqing Palace and asked the emperor to abolish the prince and establish the East Palace instead.
The sound was so loud that even officials from the military aircraft department looked sideways.
But the emperor was in Xian'an Palace at the moment.
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Empress Dowager Wu burst into tears.
She is a brainless woman.
When she had no grandchildren, she was carefree and didn't care. After going through hardships and twists and turns, she realized how valuable a happy life is.
"Both the noble concubine and the concubine Shu are pregnant."
Zhu Qiyu did not elaborate because Empress Dowager Wu did not understand the cruelty of political turmoil.
"Mother, I hope you can come forward to preside over the harem and protect the concubines."
Queen Mother Wu has been waiting for this day.
Queen Mother Sun presides over the harem, and she has long wanted to compete with her.
However, the relationship between the emperor and her was cold, and he believed that she failed more than failed.
She didn't dare to bring it up to the emperor, so she could only endure it.
This time the opportunity has come!
Looking at Empress Dowager Wu's forgetful look, Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Mother, you will be the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, and she will be the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, so that we will not interfere with each other."
"I asked you to come out of the mountain to protect your pregnant concubine."
"Understand?"
The smile on Empress Dowager Wu's face was stiff: "Your Majesty, that old witch is very disrespectful to you and may harm the emperor's grandson. Why not take this opportunity..."
She made a throat-cutting gesture.
Zhu Qiyu squinted: "Mother, can you organize the harem?"
Empress Dowager Wu was about to say yes.
But if you think about it carefully, the noble ladies in the harem are all gathered together, each with their own thoughts, and it is extremely difficult to control them. They don't even listen to Concubine Tang.
But after the Empress Dowager Sun was invited out of the mountain, all the evil spirits in the palace were suppressed. These maids were obedient and extremely respectful.
This is ability.
"Your Majesty, although my mother is deep in the palace, she still knows that Yu Qian has won a great victory. There is no strong enemy in Mobei. Our Ming Dynasty has entered a prosperous age."
"Why do you still have to suffer yourself?"
"In this harem, in terms of honor, who is more honorable than the Ai family and you?"
Empress Dowager Wu said coldly: "As long as you are willing to delegate power to the Ai family, anyone who disobeys will be killed. The Ai family will see who dares to rebel!"
This is the weakness of Queen Mother Wu.
Whoever makes her happy is a good person.
Good advice may be harsh to the ears, but sometimes it is good people who say bad things.
How can you control the harem if you can't tell the difference between good and bad, and you yell for beatings and killings when doing things? Can those women be killed? Dare to kill?
People don’t dare to rebel, but they can change the emperor!
It can also make the emperor die suddenly!
On the other hand, Queen Mother Sun knew how to use people.
According to each person's personality characteristics, use them when they should be used, hit them when they should be used, set rules, do not kill people, but know how to train them, so that the harem can be as calm as water.
"Mother, fighting and killing are not suitable for this harem."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "Think about it, there are thousands of beauties in the harem, why do I have to be the first to favor the Hu family?"
"Even because of this, the old master went toe-to-toe with me in the court, and I happily apologized. Do you know why?"
Queen Mother Wu looked at her son innocently: "Is she beautiful?"
Speechless!
Zhu Qiyu laughed helplessly: "Mother, just be the Queen Mother of the East Palace and pay attention to the child in your daughter-in-law's belly."
Empress Dowager Wu heard that her son disliked her low political level.
She never learned it.
As a concubine, it is natural to entertain people with sex.
She has been trained like this since she was a child. She only knows how to make men happy. She doesn't know anything about politics, and she is not allowed to understand it.
"Then..." Queen Mother Wu felt unwilling.
"As long as a mother keeps an eye on her daughter-in-law, it's fine."
"I still have things to do in the past, so I won't accompany my mother."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said, "Send the order for Wu An to return to the capital."
Queen Mother Wu's eyes lit up and she was about to speak when she met Zhu Qiyu's cold eyes.
"I'll give Wu An one last chance. If he doesn't do anything good, he can report it to the Lord of Hell."
Zhu Qiyu said solemnly: "Mother, you have to tell Wu An not to act outside under my banner. Remember, he is just a white man!"
Queen Mother Wu seemed to be strangled by the neck.
The emperor is banging her!
Tell her that the most important things in this palace are the two concubines.
You must not let two pregnant concubines come to Xian'an Palace to behave themselves just because they are the emperor's biological mother.
I asked you to look after the concubines, not to ask them to behave themselves!
Hurt the child in your belly.
I will turn my back on you!
Plop!
Empress Dowager Wu sat on the couch for a while, her shock finally over.
"The Queen Mother..." Lian Zhong hurried over and supported her.
"Why is the emperor's eyes so scary? He, he is so different from before..." Empress Dowager Wu said tremblingly, her liver and gallbladder trembling.
"My lord, I respect you."
Lian Zhong didn't dare to say anything provocative. If the emperor found out, he would be sunk into the water.
Out of Xian'an Palace.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were gloomy: "Feng Xiao, on the way back to Beijing, beat Wu An so that he can carry him. Don't think of yourself as my uncle. What kind of uncle, huh, his wealth is all given by me!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Feng Xiao knew that the emperor hated him the most and regarded himself as a relative of the emperor's elders.
He did not take the imperial chariot but entered the Renshou Palace on foot.
The people of Renshou Palace knelt down to welcome him.
Zhu Qiyu turned a blind eye to the number of court ladies who flattered the emperor.
Walking into the main hall, he bowed and saluted: "Blessings to the Queen Mother!"
"Ai Jia'an, get up." A soft smile appeared on Queen Mother Sun's face.
Zhu Qiyu sat on the right side of the bed table, sharing it with the Queen Mother Sun.
"I am here to congratulate the Empress Dowager. The concubines in the harem have finally made some noise. When the child is born, I will open an ancestral temple to comfort the ancestors!"
Queen Mother Sun smiled stiffly.
Is opening an ancestral temple just to comfort the ancestors?
You can also kill the clan!
"The Emperor has a successor, and the Ai family is also happy." Empress Dowager Sun forced a smile.
"I know the Queen Mother's heart."
Zhu Qiyu tapped his fingers on his knees: "I was quite happy originally, but I thought it would be better to have fun alone than to have fun with everyone."
"But the generals in the clan cannot be reused."
"I asked someone to send them the test papers they answered, and the Queen Mother also opened her eyes."
"They are all from our Zhu family, it doesn't hurt to take a look."
"That's true. They are all useless."
Empress Dowager Sun chewed, what does the emperor mean?
"I am so angry that I feel faint."
"real."
"Kill a few!"
"Just demote the clan to the rank of general, and everyone will be demoted to one rank!"
"Those without titles will all be sent to Hanzhou to farm in Dusi!"
"Those who have titles, I will ask them to go to Gyeonggi to farm and hone their skills to see if they can hone some talents."
Zhu Qiyu seemed to be talking about everyday things.
But in the ears of Empress Dowager Sun, it was the emperor who was slapping the clan and telling them not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Otherwise, just go farming!
This clan may also include King Mobei.
So what the emperor said to her was...
Empress Dowager Sun looked at the emperor.
"I said this to the Queen Mother because I wanted to make the Queen Mother blush."
"After all, we are all a family, so it's not good to do anything wrong."
"Every day I get stabbed in the spine by those literati, who scold me for being mean and unkind."
"But I am indeed not a mean and ungrateful king."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I have belittled the clan, and it is up to you to come forward and praise the clan. Every time you come and go, the royal family will have a face."
Queen Mother Sun choked for breath.
Am I trying to be a red face?
no!
This was to tell the clan that her mother, the queen mother, and the emperor were on the same side.
No one is allowed to have inappropriate thoughts.
Including King Mobei!
"Your Majesty is right, the Ai family will issue an edict now." Empress Dowager Sun knew that she couldn't resist, so she simply greeted him with a smile.
Zhu Qiyu also smiled, because he liked the way you looked at things.
"The clan has to take care of it."
"King Mobei can't manage it alone, so let Marquis Huichang take care of him."
Zhu Qiyu slapped his head and said: "I will let people lift the seal of Huichang Hou Mansion and let them regain their freedom."
This is to repair the relationship with the Queen Mother Sun.
Kill the third son of the Sun family and seal the Huichang Marquis Mansion. Enough beatings.
Now that the lockdown is lifted and Sun Jizong is given something to do, this matter will be revealed.
Death is death, exile is exile, can it be overcome?
Anyway, the emperor's part has been removed for the time being.
"Women's temples are not allowed to interfere in politics."
"The Ai family dare not interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please decide. The Ai family has no objection."
Empress Dowager Sun's smile was filled with sadness, because he was her biological brother after all:
"Although the Sun family is the natal family of the Ai family."
"But the roots of the Ai family are in the palace, and it is you, Your Majesty."
"You are the royal son of the Ai family, and the future of the Ai family depends on you."
Queen Mother Sun's tone was sad.
Why do you feel like you, an old witch, are taking advantage of me?
"I will be filial to my legitimate mother."
Zhu Qiyu bowed and saluted: "Empress Dowager, I am looking for a husband for Changde, but none of the candidates who participated in the examination this year are very talented."
The smile on Queen Mother Sun's face froze.
She also has a big weakness, her daughter Changde!
"The marriage in Changde will naturally be decided by Your Majesty." Mrs. Sun backed down.
"After all, you are the mother of Changde, and you are also the queen mother who honors the world, so it is natural for you to serve as an advisor."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "My sister is naughty and cute. I want to find an outstanding consort for her, who can also contribute to the Ming Dynasty in the future, and she will be stable as a princess."
"Does the Queen Mother value civil servants or honorable ministers?"
Queen Mother Sun pursed her lips, this was a trap.
No matter what choice you make, it's wrong.
"As long as I can be kind to our family, even if I am a farmer, can I still lack wealth with you as my biological brother?"
Empress Dowager Sun cleverly avoided the pit.
"The Empress Dowager is right. Let me look for more options and listen to Changde's opinion."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "Nowadays, the number of people in the harem is increasing. She is a royal princess and my biological sister. She lives in the palace all year round. It is easy to say or not."
Queen Mother Sun was happy.
You are going to have a son, and you are worried that Chang De of my family will kill the imperial concubine, so you want to kick Chang De out?
Have sweet dreams!
Didn’t you use Changde to threaten the Aijia?
Keep going.
"Changde said that the Princess Mansion is like a ghost, so I don't want to live in the Princess Mansion."
Empress Dowager Sun smiled bitterly: "If the princess is still alive, we can live together and have some company."
"The problem is that there are only two princesses in the world, and they both live in the palace."
"We can't let Changde live in the Prince Consort's Mansion. The gossip will be even more unpleasant."
It is easy to ask God but hard to send God away.
At first, he threatened Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen with Changde, but now he wants to kick Changde out of the palace, but Empress Dowager Sun disagrees.
"It's just that the clan has a bad reputation, and those few people who are bad at human ethics, alas..."
"I don't even want to mention it."
"That's all, let's live in the palace for now."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "There is no concubine in the West Palace. She lives in the West Palace. Don't run to the East Palace. If you bump into something and cause gossip, I can't tell you."
Queen Mother Sun couldn't help laughing.
Even the emperor has his moments of failure.
Are you afraid that if you live with an adult princess, gossip will spread? Anyway, if my family is virtuous, it will ruin your reputation as a dog emperor!
etc!
The emperor was not afraid of gossip, but worried that Changde would kill the imperial concubine!
You Zhu Qiyu, you are so full of evil!
My Changde family will not move out, but will live in the palace to scare you!
"The Ai family will take care of Changde and it won't affect your little life!" Queen Mother Sun said coldly.
Zhu Qiyu smiled, chatted a few more words, and left Renshou Palace.
When I returned to Qianqing Palace, I saw Zhu Jianshen kneeling at the door.
She sheds tears and is very good at gaining sympathy.
"Please ask Your Majesty to establish the East Palace instead!" Zhu Jianshen said loudly.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him gloomily, "You really don't want to be the prince, why would you shout so loudly?"
As if afraid that others wouldn't hear.
"Get up and go into the palace to talk."
The Qianqing Palace had prepared meals. Zhu Qiyu sat down and said, "Let's eat together."
Zhu Jianshen sat down tremblingly, with his head shrunk and lowered, sniffling constantly, like a doormat.
"Who bullied you again?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him.
"I beg your Majesty to have mercy. Let me be an ordinary person. Don't let me be a prince. I beg you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Jianshen fell to the ground and cried non-stop.
"Why? Who said something to you that shouldn't be said?" Zhu Qiyu said in a sharp tone.
"Your Majesty, no, I'm just, just..." Zhu Jianshen didn't dare to say.
"Just what?"
"I just heard that my harem is pregnant."
"You don't dare to be this prince anymore, do you?"
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and told him to get up: "Sit down."
"No matter what, you are my nephew."
"Blood and family ties cannot be given up."
"Don't think so much. You are the prince. I have no intention of changing the prince. Just eat in peace."
Just say this to fool a fool!
Those who were in front of Xihua Gate yesterday were all direct relatives of the royal family, but you ended up driving them to Hanzhou Dusi to farm!
Do you have any affection at all?
You just want to be Emperor Jingtai like Emperor Yongle!
Zhu Jianshen didn't dare to say anything and ate cautiously.
But in the end, the goal was achieved, and the prince's position was not lost.
Who can resist the temptation of that seat!
After sending Zhu Jianshen away, Zhu Qiyu began to review the memorial: "By the way, how is Mao Sheng's health?"
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Nanning is in good health, but the doctor said he shouldn't be too tired," Feng Xiao reported.
"Go and bring Li Jin and Mao Shengxuan." Zhu Qiyu said.
Read the memorial for a while.
No memorial came from Guangxi.
On the contrary, a memorial came from Liaoning, saying that the Jurchen tribe actually took advantage of the chaos to calm down the autumn wind.
As a result, he was beaten back by Zheng Guta, who was under Yu Qian.
The losses were said to be heavy.
"Jurchen, Jurchen!"
Zhu Qiyu looked for it from the memorial: "Where is Yu Qian's memorial?"
Feng Xiao found it from the archives and presented it to the emperor.
Yu Qian's strategic arrangement was to vacate the capital of Jilin and let Wu Liangha and the Jurchen Department fight dogs.
"Write a letter to Yu Qian and tell him that the concubine in the palace is pregnant and ask him to return quickly!" Zhu Qiyu did not give the order directly.
Liaodong also needs Yu Qian.
Yu Qian needs to settle down in Liaodong and lead his troops back to Beijing quickly.
"Order Yu Kang, Hu Xi, Gu Rong, and Niu Zhen to stay in Liaoning, and transfer Cao Yi back to Beijing."
Feng Xiao quickly copied the imperial edict.
The top priority is not the frontier, but the capital.
Beijing needs a general to guard it, and Yu Qian is the best candidate.
Transferring Cao Yi out of Liaoning is to give Yu Kang and others room for development.
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu planned to send Li Jin to Beijing, so he needed a veteran to serve as the governor of the Nine Admirals' Mansion, and Cao Yi was the best candidate.
At this time, Li Jin and Mao Sheng entered the palace.
After bowing and saluting.
"sit."
Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial and stood up: "I declare that you are here because I have a battle for you to fight."
"Mao Sheng!"
"I promised you back then."
"Let you return home in fine clothes!"
"Today, the opportunity finally came."
Mao Sheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed. The emperor promised him that he would fight the battle back home and that he would be promoted to a noble title based on his military exploits.
"But I want to know how you are feeling? Can you go home?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him with concern.
Mao Sheng kowtowed and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty loves me so much. How can I live up to your Majesty's love?"
"My old minister is in good health!"
"If I can return home in fine clothes, even if I die, I am willing to die in Mobei!"
Mao Sheng made a splash.
"good!"
Zhu Qiyu praised:
"I plan to ask Li Jin to cooperate with Wang Shu and Feng Qing to guard the capital of Hanzhou."
"Mao Sheng, you cooperate with Li Bing to guard Yu'er Haidusi."
"I have ordered the guards all over the world to dispatch soldiers to the capital."
"I will give you two a total of 50,000 troops, named Hanzhou Army."
"In the future, how many guard posts will be divided into the capital of Hanzhou? Li Jin, just report to me when you get there."
"Although the Fishing and Sea Department has been established."
"But you have to eat the food one bite at a time. After cleaning up the capitals in Hanzhou, we went all the way north until we reached a place where no one can see people. They are all fishermen."
Li Jin wanted to say that the capital was empty and no more troops could be sent out of the capital.
"It doesn't matter."
"I will give you twenty days of special training time to temper your soldiers."
"Also give time to the production of firearms."
"I will equip you with the best firearms and escort all the criminals to Hanzhou Dusi."
"Build the city first, then build the road. It's all plains and the road is easier to build."
"The army and the people of the capital are all military households, and military control is also implemented. Military and political affairs are in the hands of the commander of the capital!"
"You don't have to drive away the herdsmen, you have to accept them, be gentle with them, and Chineseize them."
"The ones who go there are all bachelors. If you want to find wives for them, just pick them from the herdsmen's families and start a family in Xindusi."
“If you have a family business, you also have a family.”
"Keep your heart in the north."
Zhu Qiyu waved, and Feng Xiao handed over a drawing.
"This is called the Bastion. I had people find it from the vast sea of books."
"In the Southern Song Dynasty, they built continuous fortresses in Xiangyang City to withstand the Mongolian cavalry!"
"But after all, so many years have passed, and the way of fighting has also changed, so I asked Kuai Xiang and other craftsmen to remake it."
"Now it has taken shape. I have repeatedly deduced it in the martial arts lecture hall. This kind of fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as it is built, a few hundred people can defend it and a few thousand people can attack it."
"When you leave the capital, I will match you with enough craftsmen."
"On the grasslands, we need to build more bastions."
"Those herdsmen with scimitars will never be able to break into the fortress in their lifetime."
Zhu Qiyu smiled confidently.
"Your Majesty, we won't build the Great Wall anymore?" Li Jin asked a very stupid question.
However, the Great Wall is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the defensive mentality is rooted in people's hearts.
It seems that as long as a piece of land is occupied, the Great Wall must be built here to calm people's hearts.
Will the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties repair the Great Wall?
Not needed at all.
However, the Hongxi, Xuande, Zhengtong, and Jingtai dynasties were all working desperately to repair the Great Wall and prevent the Mobei tribes from crossing the Great Wall.
The final analysis is that the country is rich and the army is weak, so it cannot fight a war.
Such is the human heart.
"No more repairs!"
"Jingtai Dynasty will never build the Great Wall again!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Li Jin, you are handsome and talented. You should know how much it will cost to repair a section of the Great Wall and how many people will die!"
"Instead of repairing the Great Wall, it's better to have a good fight!"
"I estimate that the tribes in Mobei will never dare to fight us face to face again."
"They will just keep looting, leaving us overwhelmed."
"So, I will build this bastion."
"Fill the entire grassland!"
"Let the soldiers of the tribes in Mobei break their teeth with just one bite!"
Zhu Qiyu became happy: "Don't worry about food. I will find a way to connect the water system and transport food by canal."
"In a few years, you will be able to grow food in Mobei!"
"At that point, we're figuring out how to defend ourselves."
“Now, it’s time to build the bastion and Hanize the Mobei people!”
Li Jin and Mao Sheng didn't know why.
Anyway, whatever the emperor says, it is whatever it is.
After all, the Ming Dynasty once conquered far and far north, established capitals, and built roads. In the end, the people died and the government died, and they all gave up.
How long can Jingtai Chao hold on?
"You guys are in Mobei, so there shouldn't be any big battles to fight."
"With you, Li Bing, and Wang Shu, no one can beat you."
"I believe in you."
"But building a city takes time."
"So, when you get to Mobei, don't be greedy for too much, build it bit by bit, build it bit by bit, don't worry about money and food, I will provide for you!"
"The past few years have been difficult, but I have also made many achievements. I will keep them in mind and reward them generously!"
"When the new food becomes popular, your life will be better."
Zhu Qiyu changed the subject: "But!"
"When we arrive in Mobei, we must fight a few battles first to show off the majesty of our Ming Dynasty!"
"First send cavalry to cleanse the two capitals in Mobei. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and recruit those who deserve to surrender. Let those tribes feel fear!"
"In Mobei Dusi, I allow the massacre of the city and also the indiscriminate killing!"
"No matter the reason, no matter whether you are guilty or not, you can kill if you want, and after you finish killing, build a Jingguan! To shock the people of Mobei!"
"I want to make the people of Mobei afraid!"
"They are beasts, we must kill the beasts!"
"Let them be afraid! Let them be afraid!"
"Let those Mobei people tremble when they hear Mingren's name!"
"Let them not dare to close their eyes, and let their children burst into tears when they hear the word Akito!"
"Li Jin, Mao Sheng!"
"I can't personally lead the troops to Mobei, but I give you the greatest power. You can do anything!"
“No one in the DPRK dares to impeach you!”
"I want all the mosquitoes in Mobei to know how powerful the Emperor of the Central Plains is!"
"I want the people of Mobei to imprint the fear of Emperor Jingtai into their blood!"
"I want the people of Mobei to tremble with fear after hearing this!"
"Kill me!"
"It wouldn't be a pity to kill them all!"
"kill!"
Zhu Qiyu roared.
The whole person looked crazy, with extremely fierce eyes.
Li Jin and Mao Sheng knelt on the ground: "I will live up to your majesty's high expectations!"
Let's kill people, that'll be easy.
The elite Tatar soldiers were defeated, and it is estimated that there will not be many soldiers left in those tribes.
They could feel the Emperor's wrath.
Angry at the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, angry at the ravages of the Mobei tribes on the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, the attack and defense turned, and Ming Dynasty turned from defense to attack, and was about to kill the entire Mobei!
"So I will give you twenty days of special training."
"To familiarize you with firearms."
"When you get to Mobei, make a good name for me!"
"I, Emperor Jingtai, am a tyrant!"
"Kill me!"
"Kill them until their country is destroyed!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply and stretched out his hand. Feng Xiao put the Emperor's Sword in his hand.
"Li Jin, take the sword!"
"I give you the Emperor's Sword. You can kill anyone!"
"If there is any sarcastic scholar who points fingers at you, kill him directly!"
"Fulfill my wish, and you will make great contributions to the country! I will let you be Bai Qi of Mobei!"
Zhu Qiyu took another sword and handed it to Mao Sheng: "Mao Sheng, if you fight a good battle, I will give you a Marquis World Certificate!"
"When you build the Fishing Sea City, I will make you the Duke of the Kingdom."
"If you make great contributions, I can even grant you the title of king!"
"Mao Sheng!"
"Kill me, you are not a fool, but a wise man!"
"I and you are proud of each other!"
Mao Sheng burst into tears of gratitude and kept kowtowing.
Who doesn’t want to return home in glory!
He, Mao Sheng, has brilliant ancestors. His great-grandfather was the King of Jining in the Yuan Dynasty, and his grandfather, Bie Buhua, was the right prime minister during the reign of Emperor Wenzong of the Yuan Dynasty. He was born in a distinguished family.
"When I give you the World Voucher, I will not make you the Marquis of Nanning."
"I will make you the Marquis of Ji Ning."
"how?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at Mao Sheng.
Mao Sheng choked with sobs: "I will die for Your Majesty!"
His great-grandfather was King Ji Ning of the Yuan Dynasty. The emperor bestowed this title on him, which shows his great kindness.
Send them both away.
Zhu Qiyu's mood could not calm down for a long time.
He really wanted to go to Mobei.
I really want to go to Zhujing Temple with my own hands, and I really want to trample all the tribes in Mobei under my feet!
I want it too much, I want it too much.
However, the concubine has just become pregnant and the situation is uncertain. He must sit in the middle of the court and stabilize the situation.
What a pity.
Therefore, he instilled his ideas into Li Jin and Mao Sheng.
Let his mother replace him and go to Mobei to kill as much as he wants!
He deliberately chose twenty days because soldiers were mobilized from various towns, such as Sanguan, Xuanzhen, and Datong, and they could basically arrive in twenty days.
It is said that the Beijing camp took away 50,000 new recruits.
Those who come in are all elites.
"Your Majesty, Mao Sheng was not honest when he was at the border." Feng Xiao whispered.
Zhu Qiyu pondered: "Indeed, Mou Feng reported him, saying that he was cunning and difficult to control. He also communicated with foreign barbarians many times, which may cause trouble on the border."
"So I sent Li Jin to watch him."
Mao Sheng was a new surrender and was not reliable.
"Your Majesty, when Hai Dusi went fishing, he went alone after all." Feng Xiao still felt unreliable.
"Hmph, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Zhu Qiyu chuckled.
Let's build the capital of Hanzhou first and squeeze out the value of Maosheng.
Only then did Feng Xiao understand.
"Li Jin is gone. I originally wanted to transfer Guo Deng back to Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Simply transfer Cao Yi back to the capital and let me take charge of the nine admiral's mansions."
"There is Yu Qian guarding the capital."
"Only then can I sleep peacefully."
Feng Xiao whispered: "Your Majesty, if you use Mao Sheng, why don't you transfer the salary back to the capital and let the salary keep an eye on Mao Sheng."
"You, you are too thoughtful."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Let the cabinet transfer him."
Feng Xiao still didn't believe in the naturalized general, but he ignored Yu Qian's terrible military exploits.
Although Yu Qian did not Feng Lang Ju Xu, he killed as many Tatar soldiers as Feng Lang Ju Xu, and his military exploits were not lower than those of Feng Lang Ju Xu.
With him in charge of the capital, what kind of trouble could Mao Sheng make?
"When Cao Yi returns to the capital, he will send Shi Ju and Jiao Li out of the capital to take charge of the Xuanjia Army."
Zhu Qiyu made arrangements.
But Qin Cheng came in: "Your Majesty, Sir Wang wants to see you!"
"Which Mr. Wang?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised.
"Wang Yue!"
"Xuan come in!"
Just when Zhu Qiyu met Wang Yue.
Guangxi.
Fang Ying, Zhu Yi, Zhu Yong, Zhang Shun (Tooth Polo), Chen Wang, Weng Xin and others were having a military discussion.
"This weather is really hot!" Zhang Shun has been in Guangxi for several months and still can't stand the heat here.
Fang Ying looked relaxed: "Hou Dagou has been forced into Dadeng Gorge, and the cities they captured have been captured by us one after another."
"Although the losses are heavy, at least the living space of this Hou Dagou is constantly being squeezed."
"As long as we capture Dateng Gorge, this battle will be won."
Zhu Yong's face was tense: "Commander, I think that Hou Dagou is not difficult to defeat. What is difficult to defeat are the Yao people, Dong people and other native people who responded."
"If we cannot govern Guangdong and Guangxi and completely Hanize the native people in one day, this chaos will not be quelled in one day."
Fang Ying looked at Zhu Yong.
No wonder the emperor sent Zhu Yong to Guangxi to be the deputy commander-in-chief even though he knew he was from King Mobei.
All because of talent.
Zhu Yong sees things very clearly.
However, he has limitations.
Is it the harsh governance of the court that really made the natives rebel?
No, it’s the gentry!
Recently, six families of gentry in Guangxi have died violently!
Naturally, it was because the emperor was furious.
Two of the newly built shipyards were burned down, and the emperor's anger brought bad luck to the Guangxi gentry.
Therefore, if you want to pacify the natives, you must first defeat the gentry.
The emperor gave him a secret order, but he was told to take the opportunity to pacify the chieftains, overthrow all the chieftains, and quickly Chineseize the native people.
No mention of gentry at all.
They are not allowed to cooperate with the gentry. If the gentry dares to block the way, they will be killed.
The emperor wanted a clean Guangxi, not a Guangxi dominated by gentry.
"Ou Xin, what do you think?" Fang Ying looked at a young man.
Ou Xin was originally the commander of Daning, but was later transferred to Leizhou and Lianzhou as guards. He was sent by the emperor to guard the shipyard.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief!"
Ou Xinqi Yuxuanang, he was born in Jinwu's right guard and the emperor's imperial guard.
Jingtai was transferred here in the seventh year.
"I think what the deputy commander said is true."
Ou Xin changed the topic: "I have been in Guangdong for more than a year, and I know the locals fairly well."
"I have never thought about it. How can the natives be in turmoil just by Hou Dagou's instigation?"
"So, I think the source of the unrest is not the native people."
He did not dare to say directly that it was the gentry who instigated it.
After all, he is just a small guard and does not dare to involve too much in government affairs.
But when he nodded, many people nodded.
Chen Wang sneered: "Are you saying that those gentry who committed suicide are related to Hou Dagou's rebellion? If you explain clearly, I will naturally report it to your Majesty!"
He is not afraid of any gentry.
Behind him is Yu Qian.
Ou Xin quickly knelt down, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
"Don't push him. The right and wrong will be revealed when Hou Dagou is caught." Weng Xin said something for him.
"What are you afraid of! These two Guangxi are the Guangdong and Guangxi of the Ming Dynasty, not some people's Guangdong and Guangxi!" Chen Wang was bold.
This person has no talent, except for his boldness and big mouth.
Sooner or later it will not end well.
"Your Majesty has sent over the new fire cannons. The commander-in-chief has already sent people to test the cannons. They are all excellent and excellent fire cannons."
Fang Ying stopped them from arguing: "This battle must be fought beautifully and give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation!"
"Obey!" Everyone saluted.
In fact, it is not difficult at all to calm down the big dog.
As long as the Dadeng Gorge is defended, Hou Dagou can be suffocated inside.
"This commander-in-chief has sent out ten groups in total."
"Ouxin, Sun Qi, Gao Gao, Bai Quan, Yang Yu, Zhang Gang, Wang Qi, Sun Zhen, Chen Wenwen, Tao Cheng."
"Ten of you, each of you will receive a thousand men."
"A surrounding net was formed, compressing Hou Dagou in the Big Teng Gorge."
"Cut off all ties."
"Surround the area for reinforcements!"
"Remember, Hou Dagou is not allowed to break through. After defeating the natives, he is not allowed to pursue them. He must not open a gap for the sake of victory."
"Just go around and beat and kill him, and we'll kill the big dog too!"
Fang Ying was not familiar with the terrain of Guangxi, and the soldiers he brought were not familiar with the local terrain.
So he fought in the stupidest way possible.
Just gather around and call for help.
If you don't come to rescue Big Dog Hou, then we'll surround him.
The battlefield of this nationalist army is in the south, and they need to be familiar with the climate, geographical environment, living habits, etc. of the south.
When Fang Ying goes to war, he doesn't care about the loss of soldiers like Cao Yi.
Anyway, the court didn't push him, so he wasn't in a hurry either.
Let’s see who the big dog can outlast.
In a competition of national strength, Ming Dynasty was not afraid of anyone.
"General Soldier!"
Zhu Yi had a different opinion: "Hou Dagou is already a withered bone in the grave. It's better to just attack the enemy with an army and kill him in one go. Then report your merits to the court as soon as possible!"
Zhang Shun also nodded.
Why bother?
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, you are just a big dog, why are you working so hard!" Chen Wang said.
"snort."
Fang Ying sneered: "How many soldiers do we have? There are only 20,000 soldiers in the Zhenguo Army. How many people are there in the Guangxi Army? The guard post has not been cleaned up yet. Can the combat effectiveness be formed?"
"The Zhenguo army is also neglecting the battle formation. How can we compete with others?"
"Remember, we not only have to think about fighting, but also how to govern!"
"They are thieves, they can run away after fighting."
"We can't do it. Guangxi is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After they finish fighting, we still have to build!"
Fang Ying said coldly: "Every soldier under my command is a human life! I will not allow them to be wasted in vain!"
"I will obey the order!" The generals disagreed in their hearts.
In a war, soldiers are consumables and a stepping stone for them to become knights.
There are a lot of people anyway, so we can just conquer them all after they are all dead.
But Fang Ying saw far away.
The emperor will definitely regain Jiaozhi. The main forces to regain Jiaozhi are the Zhenguo Army, the Guangxi Army and the Guangdong Army.
Therefore, he must hone the soldiers in his hands into a strong army.
Rather than becoming a consumable.
That way you will never build a strong army.
The emperor sent him Fang Ying to train a strong army.
Otherwise, in a few years, the emperor will change someone to lead the southern expedition.
Fang Ying does not allow others to pick peaches.
"Ou Xin, according to the commander-in-chief's instructions, surround the point for reinforcements. You must remember it!"
Fire soldiers will not be sent out.
As a Chinese army, when put on the battlefield, the final word must be made.
"This battle was well fought. I, the commander-in-chief, would like to take credit for you!"
Fang Ying ended the military discussion.
Ou Xin, however, had a far-reaching view. Fang Ying represented the imperial power. He definitely did not come to Guangxi to pacify Hou Dagou.
He read the Di newspaper that Yu Qian defeated 140,000 elite Tatar soldiers, the biggest victory in forty years.
There was a lot of hype in the newspapers, and the major newspapers praised Yu Qian to the sky.
However, the center did not celebrate the success or issue any special orders, but remained silent as always.
Ou Xin knew that the emperor's heart was far from being satisfied by a great victory.
Fang Ying cherishes his military strength.
It should be that they want to regain Cochin.
Ten generals, with only a thousand men, surrounded Dateng Gorge.
Surround the spot for reinforcements.
When Hou Dagou's soldiers broke through the encirclement, they were severely beaten back by the Ming army who had the geographical advantage. The natives responded and were beaten when they came over.
The most powerful thing the natives have is poisonous arrows.
The range of the Ming army's crossbows was several times that of poisonous arrows. Whenever the natives attacked, they would greet them with bows and arrows.
When the natives retreated, the Ming army did not pursue them.
Anyway, just keep it.
The natives are all confused. If you don’t chase us, our poisonous arrows will be useless! The traps we set can only be stepped on by ourselves!
Seven days in a row.
The Ming army fought the most generous battle. Arrows were constantly being transported, and they were only responsible for shooting arrows.
In seven days, three people were lost.
Of these three unlucky guys, one stepped on a native trap and was poisoned to death; one fell into a cliff while urinating; only one was hit by an arrow and died of tetanus.
But it’s not comfortable in Dateng Gorge.
The reason why it is called Big Vine Gorge is that it is full of big vines. The rebels grabbed the big vines and climbed up and down the cliff.
So Fang Ying ordered to cut off all the big vines.
They blocked Hou Dagou's tens of thousands of people in Dayeng Gorge.
Tens of thousands of people gathered together to eat, drink, and eat. Soon they ran out of food and became stinky. They had to drink water to survive.
Another seven days passed.
The Ming army lay on the hillside and sometimes practiced.
As a result, even the natives didn't come to save him.
People like Hou Dagou have become abandoned sons.
The days are even harder.
