Tang Buping stayed by the lake, not daring to say a word as he watched Zhu Yunwen, who had not caught any fish after fishing for a long time.
The emperor's temper has been bad recently. He didn't catch any fish in the past few days, so he just brought in two magic cannons to fry the fish. He didn't know who the fish had offended.
Unfortunately, a big fish jumped out of the water. It laughed at the emperor and splashed in the waves.
Yes, looking at the situation today, the divine machine gun still has to be used...
Zhu Yunwen leaned back in his chair, enjoying the warm sunshine, and said to Tang Buping on the side: "The imperial censor reported that Huang Zicheng, the prefect of Qingzhou, slandered the imperial court and was dissatisfied with me. He blatantly violated the imperial decree and ordered Qingzhou to ban the sea and not allow people to go to the sea to fight. Fishing and trade, are these real?”
Tang Buping took a few steps closer and replied: "Your Majesty, the Shandong Security Bureau has also reported this matter, so it should be correct."
Zhu Yunwen sighed: "I sent Qitai and Jingqing to Kaifeng. The two of them did not let them leave their posts at the request of the people, calling them parents officials. But Huang Zicheng has been working in Qingzhou these years, which has really disappointed me. .Two years ago, I gave him a warning. If he did nothing again, I would let him go to Khotan. It seems that he is not interested in Khotan??????????????? Forgot."
Tang Buping remained silent.
Zhu Yunwen sighed. As a former minister of the East Palace, Huang Zicheng also entered the cabinet. Unfortunately, this person was too scholarly and idealistic. He lacked the ability to do things and rational thinking. He just talked about history and talked about things that could be done in the Han Dynasty. We in Ming Dynasty can do it too.
This kind of person is not suitable to stay in the capital.
He can be decentralized. I thought he was proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics and had a lot of knowledge, so he could satisfy the people of Qingzhou to some extent. But the reality is that he was immersed in the frustrations of the cabinet ministers and the governor of Qingzhou. He just lay on the ground without getting up and just acted like a fool.
"I feel sorry for the people of Qingzhou. I tell the officials that there is no need to wait for the Hajj. Huang Zicheng is removed from the post of magistrate of Qingzhou and transferred to the post of Prime Minister of Khotan County."
Zhu Yunwen made up his mind.
You are given opportunities again and again. If you don’t want to make achievements, then go to Khotan. There are not many people there and there is no sea. Go and have fun there.
Tang Buping felt Zhu Yunwen's anger and disappointment. Huang Zicheng was demoted, so he should be given a job as a county magistrate. Now that he is in Khotan, he is not even a magistrate. This kind of punishment is probably more cruel than other humiliation methods.
But having said that, Huang Zicheng was just a piece of mud. The civil servants helped him several times but could not help him up. Now that he has ended up like this, no one will ask for mercy.
Among those who were shot down without waiting for the Hajj was Shandong Inspector Chen Ying. This person was somewhat of a psychopath. He admired Taizu's torture. He was ordered to be arrested in the capital. Now he is enjoying the taste of torture in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. , if he is not allowed to experience it, it would be a bit sorry for the more than 20 businessmen and people who died unjustly.
As the Hajj approaches, there are more than ten times more impeachment memorials for officials and censors than before. Some censors were worried that they would not report what they knew, and if they revealed it during the pilgrimage, they would be unlucky as well, so they simply impeached him.
During the Great Hajj, the selection of the top 10 prefectures and top 100 counties is related to the vital interests of all prefectures and counties. No one is willing to make mistakes at this time, so that the official atmosphere changes drastically, and the northwest wind of integrity blows.
An urgent document rushed into the capital. After Liu Changge received it, he quickly sent it to Houhu and handed the document to Zhu Yunwen who was fishing.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the quiet lake and motioned to Liu Changge to read.
Liu Changge opened the document, took a few glances at it, and suddenly felt confident: "My minister Mu Sheng bowed down in Kunming to receive the imperial decree. He did not dare to neglect it. On August 20, he planned to capture Yu Shishe and arrest a caravan. One hundred and ninety-six people, more than 500 horses, 500,000 taels of silver, and 800,000 taels of banknotes were seized. Another ancient and modern death sign was found, which has been transferred to the temporary custody of Pang Huan of the Security Bureau..."
Zhu Yunwen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mu Sheng's efficiency is worthy of recognition, and he did not delay at all.
Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised by the wealth of the caravan. You should know that the Shen family has been gone for more than ten years. In these ten years, Yu Shishe has been able to accumulate more than one million wealth, which is amazing. Of course, this is directly related to Shen Wansan's personal inheritance and the profits of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, as well as the support of the Mu family.
According to Liu Ming and others' explanation, Yu Shishe is the largest financial group behind the ancient and modern forces. Now that Yu Shishe has been arrested, the caravan has been eradicated in one fell swoop, and the wealth has also been taken into the hands of the court, the Yin soldiers will lose their most important financial support.
After Liu Changge finished reading, he found that there was another letter at the back of the document. He opened it and read it, and couldn't help but secretly take a breath of air. He quickly handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "This is from Cong Pei'er. letter."
Zhu Yunwen frowned. This guy was so bold. He dared to include private goods in the urgent document. It seemed that Cong Pei'er and Pang Huan were also present when Mu Sheng was writing the document.
Cong Pei'er's letter was full of complaints, about how flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, how cold food is in the east wind and willows are slanting, how spring is springing in Kunming in March, how the new hibiscus palace is on the lakeside, how thousands of lotus flowers are blooming in the sea, and how stars fall on the world one day. , are all lies, a big liar!
Kunming is such a ghost. Thirty miles outside the city are all barren mountains and mountains. Walking down the road is scary. You also enjoy the beautiful scenery, you are so beautiful, the mosquitoes in summer and autumn can eat you up!
Zhu Yunwen seemed to see Cong Pei'er clenching her fists and complaining, while Pang Huan was pulling and comforting her. He couldn't help laughing: "How can you blame me for this? It's all what the ancients said..."
The fish finally took the bait, and Zhu Yunwen returned to the harem with a fish.
Longjiang Shipyard received the order and prioritized the renovation of two steam engine treasure ships to undertake the task of transporting Jiaozhi grain north. At the same time, Zhu Yunwen issued an order to expand the Huaian Granary, Xuzhou Granary, and Beiping Granary, and to build two large granaries in Tongzhou, Beizhili, and Ningyuan, Liaodong.
In mid-October, envoys from the Bo Ni Kingdom arrived in Beijing.
Zhu Yunwen personally received him, and he happily conferred the title of King of Balni on Ahmed. He accepted Huang Senping's request to be sent as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and ordered the southern navy to use steam engines and ships to pick up the shipment to reduce its fatigue.
In early November, the Donghai Navy carried a batch of firearms and ammunition into Liaodong Bay. Shi Yangwen, the commander of the Liaodong capital, personally took the troops to receive them and assembled soldiers and horses in the middle of the Songhua River to sharpen their swords and practice military formations.
That month, 20% of the Jurchen tribe surrendered, and more than 70% of the Haixi Jurchen tribe surrendered.
Yang Wen-forced the relocation of the scattered Jurchen tribes, concentrated them in the plains, guided them to turn to farming, and worked hard to dilute the differences between different tribes so that they would tend to the Ming family.
Although nearly 30% of the Haixi Jurchen tribe did not surrender, but out of fear of the Ming Dynasty, they began to move north and formed an alliance with the wild Jurchen tribes to prepare to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Wen did not act in a hurry, but went step by step, following a three-step timetable to stabilize the position, deploy troops, increase recruitment efforts, arrange for envoys to explain powerful relationships, and lay out options.
Although the recruitment work should last until February of the ninth year of Jianwen, in fact, it basically ended in mid-to-late November.
A heavy snowfall blocked the road, making it difficult to care for them.
Although it is freezing cold, the war preparations in the Northeast have not stopped. Weapons, firearms, military morale, cotton clothes, food, etc. are all in place. Just waiting for the ice and snow to melt in the spring, the prelude to complete control of the Northeast will begin.
In December of the eighth year of Jianwen's reign, amid the chants of the great pilgrimage and the announcement of the selection of the top ten prefectures and top 100 counties, envoys from various vassal states congratulated on New Year's Day and prayed for good weather in the coming Ming Dynasty. The obeisance came to an end under the gentle gaze of Ma Enhui, Shu Fei and others, and with the words of "Father" from Zhu Wenkui and Zhu Wenyuan.
In the entire eight years of Jianwen, there was no large-scale foreign military use, and no new large-scale civil engineering projects were added. This was not exciting for the emperor, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty's industries, it was a good year to recuperate and recuperate.
Jianwen nine years.
Zhu Yunwen delivered a speech on "Talent-oriented, emerging industry" on National Day. For the first time, he fully proposed the concept of "industry" and integrated the five-year science and technology plan into It was upgraded to a five-year science and technology strategy, with application of world knowledge, invention and innovation, and promotion of industry as key words, which set off the whistle of Ming Dynasty's primary industry.
But as soon as the whistle sounded, a shocking news came to Jinshi.
The chieftains of Xunzhou and Liuzhou in Guangxi revolted and occupied Qingyuan, Yishan, Hechi, Maping, Laibin, Qianjiang and other counties to fight against the imperial court.
Zhu Yunwen, who received the report, could hardly believe his ears. You are not allowed to have a good rest during this Chinese New Year. You don’t want to have a good life, right?
Tie Xuan gritted his teeth as he read the battle report, almost flipping the table and swearing.
I finally took a break by myself and promised my wife and children to celebrate the Lantern Festival together. Now that I am fine, I have been summoned to the Ministry of War again.
After Xu Huizu heard about it, he didn't even go out.
When the chieftains of Guangxi rebelled, that was not rebellion, that was pretentious, no, it was committing evil and seeking death.
Xu Huizu wonders if the chieftains in these two places are idiots. Now the officers of the Ming Dynasty Guard are worried that they have no military merit to earn, but you came to the door first?
Xie Jin, who was resting at home, heard this and turned over and went to bed. It was not worth going to the cabinet for a big deal. Yang Shiqi was enough alone.
The Guangxi chieftain causing trouble was just a joke in the eyes of the court.
This is also true.
Zhu Yunwen accepted the suggestions of Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Tie Xuan and others, and ordered Zhang Fu in Guangxi to lead the Guilin Three Guards with 10,000 troops to march into Liuzhou Prefecture. He ordered Huguang Ningyuan Guards Zhu Guang and Fang Zheng to unite with Wuzhou Prefecture Guards to attack Xunzhou.
The chieftains of Guangxi rebelled, but it was not a big deal, but it attracted Zhu Yunwen's attention and strengthened his determination to change his position.

The strategy of restraining the emperor can be used in the southwestern provinces, but it must be obeyed by the imperial court. If you resist and fail to obey, and the will cannot be conveyed, then it is not a Jisuzhou, but a separatist state.
Separate the Ming Dynasty?
That can only be courting death.
Since the reform of native land and returning to local rule cannot be pushed forward in one go, let’s start with Liuzhou and Xunzhou.
Zhu Yunwen decided not to destroy or to establish. He would change the chieftain wherever he was dishonest, set up officials and encroach on him step by step...
