The ministers couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Your Majesty's employment is really different from ordinary people. This is another appointment outside the rules.
Fu Zonglong's qualifications are completely sufficient, but I don't know why, out of countless officials throughout the dynasty, why did His Majesty only take a fancy to this censor?
"The cabinet has drafted a decree, and Fu Zonglong is appointed as the Right Councilor of Guangning to manage all matters in Guangning City!"
"The order was sent to Wang Huazhen to return to the capital to report on his duties. After Fu Zonglong takes office, he will return to the capital immediately. If he is delayed for one day, he will be punished as a crime!"
Fu Zonglong now serves as the censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. All it takes is an imperial edict to replace him with Wang Huazhen.
"Your Majesty, is it too radical to replace the Guangning Councilor and the Liaodong Governor at the same time? Will those powerful generals be aware of the imperial court's intentions?"
Even though the emperor had enough strength and confidence, Wang Shaowei still felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
Wang Zaijin, who was standing aside, heard this and said:
"Otsuka Zai is overly concerned. So what if they know? Do they still dare to gather troops and cause chaos?"
"Even so, this matter is too important. Emperor Xianzong had the intention to solve this hidden danger, but in the end it still ended in failure. Don't underestimate them."
Xue Zhen reminded from the side.
Someone supported his remarks, and Wang Shaowei became bolder and said bluntly to Wang Zaijin:
"The Liao affairs involve too much and too deep. In addition to these big generals who are colluding with each other, the civil servants and military generals in the border towns and the officials in the court are all more or less involved. One move can affect the whole body!"
"Why did Emperor Xianzong fail back then? Do you really not know?"
After saying that, he turned around and bowed his hands to the emperor on the throne and said:
"Your Majesty, we must guard against Xianzong's old affairs!"
"Then according to what Otsuka Zai and Dai Sikou said, the imperial court has surrendered to them? Liaodong can't be rectified?"
"Da Sima Shenyan, when did I say this?"
"Shouldn't we be able to give advice to His Majesty after learning from the past?"
Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne and listened quietly to their discussion, without saying a word from beginning to end.
After all, the water in Liaodong was too deep. Not to mention their ministers, even the emperor was afraid of them.
From the beginning of Yingzong's reign until nearly two hundred years ago, neither the emperor nor the ministers rarely mentioned this matter, let alone started to rectify it like he did.
Emperor Xianzong also discovered this hidden danger back then, but he was not afraid and chose to take action decisively.
He thought he could solve them once and for all with the military and political power he held, but he didn't want it to end in failure.
The reason why Xianzong failed was because his control over the local area was not strong enough, let alone outside the customs. He was basically on the verge of losing control. This was one of the major reasons.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao knew better than these ministers what kind of strength these humble generals had.
Even though he sounded so relaxed, he was still quite worried in his heart.
If it really can't be done, then give up the land outside Liaoshen and Guangning, shrink the elite and stick to these three important towns. As long as these three cities are there, there is hope for the reversal of the Liao affair.
When necessary, Shanhaiguan can be blocked and completely isolated from the outside world, allowing them to entertain themselves. Anyway, Liaoyang can also maintain contact with the inside of the customs through sea routes, so there is no need to worry about supplies.
Moreover, the two cities of Liao and Shen are no longer what they used to be. After Xiong Tingbi's rectification in the past six months, they are already safe both internally and externally. Even if they join forces with Lao Nu, he will not be afraid.
This matter must be informed to Xiong Tingbi and Li Songping first, so that they can be prepared at any time and arrange for the people of Liaodong just in case.
"Okay, the matter hasn't been settled yet, but you yourself have made a mess. How are you different from that gang of rabble? If this spreads out, wouldn't you, the important officials of the imperial court, make people laugh?"
"Aren't those generals even more unscrupulous? Where is the prestige of the imperial court?"
Seeing that their words were getting more and more intense, Zhu Youxiao immediately shouted to stop.
The ministers also quickly calmed down, and immediately bent over after returning to their original positions. The emperor was really angry, and they couldn't bear it.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at them and then said:
"Since this matter has been agreed upon, there is no need to say too much. Just do what you do. I know it well!"
The emperor had completely firmed up his attitude, and the ministers did not dare to give advice, otherwise they would not be able to achieve anything good.
"The two cities of Liaoshen and Shenyang are the key, and nothing can be lost at this time. In order to prevent them from colluding with the Jiannu slaves and threatening Liaoshen, I want to divide Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong, establish a new town, and add Let Governor Denglai control the situation!"
"Also, Denglai Prefecture is close to the sea, and the sea route leads directly to North Korea and Japan. It is a key location. Now Mao Wenlong has established a foothold in Zhenjiang, Pidao and other places. The establishment of Denglai Town can form a tripod with Liaoshen and echo with each other from afar. If the ground is in trouble, the other two places can quickly provide support, which will be of great help to the Liao Dynasty!"
The ministers looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect that His Majesty had thought so carefully. He had already prepared for the worst.
Zhu Youxiao had long wanted to establish Denglai Town, but he had to give up because he had no reason before.
As he just said, the positions of Denglai and Liaodong are extremely critical. They are across the sea from Liaodong and North Korea. Especially in Liaodong, Denglai is simply a natural rear support base.
Another reason why he established governors was that the Ming Dynasty was seriously short of warships and navy, which was really fatal.
To put it bluntly, the current Ming Dynasty does not even have a fully-organized and qualified fleet. Its combat effectiveness at sea is so weak that Japanese pirates and pirates are rampant in coastal areas. The Ming Dynasty has too little control over the ocean. Weak.
This is all caused by the limitations of the times and human thinking. People always have a deep fear of unknown things, especially strong winds and waves on the sea.
Although the Sanbao eunuchs made seven voyages to the West during the Yongle period, they were only short-lived. As soon as Zhu Di died, officials and gentry began to denounce them.
As a result, Zheng He's fleet was in an extremely embarrassing position. They had to wait in the cold wind at the port and on the ship in the hope that the emperor would continue to support them.
The reign of Zhu Gaochi, who succeeded him, was too short. Although he had been the prince in charge of the country for twenty years, he was still incomparable to the emperor. He died before national policy matters could be dealt with.
Although Zhu Zhanji, known as the great sage grandson, did not disappoint, his performance was not amazing either. It can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Although he was personally taught by Zhu Di, he was inferior to Zhu Di in terms of vision and courage. Although he supported the seventh voyage to the West in the fifth year of Xuande, he was inferior to Zhu Di in terms of support. How much.
