I am the king of the dead

Chapter 206
Chen Maoshu and Sun Chenying's subject book have very detailed figures, such as the changes in the number of acres of land and the population of Datong Mansion over the years due to the unrest in the border defense, especially the remaining population of each camp and fort.

Why does Chen Ying have so many figures, even clearer than Huo Xuan, the prefect of Datong?

Because Shi Heng, the permanent academic director of the Jingshi Lecture Hall, is domineering in Datong Mansion, no matter who he is, he will collect taxes, even the Tatars and Oirats are not spared.

Naturally, he had to figure out how many people there were on his territory, and he naturally had an account, which could also be regarded as the testimony of Chen Ying's signing data.

There are more than one million people in Datong Prefecture, and more than 7 horsemen. They raise horses in Shunshengchuan. However, with the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the people in Datong Prefecture fled and moved inward. There were more than 13 horsemen, and the number of horsemen dropped sharply to more than [-]. The Daming Shunshengchuan Army Horse Farm was overgrown with weeds and was full of desolation.

Fortresses and cities have been built, but the people are still unable to secure the borders, and the people are still fleeing and moving inward. In the final analysis, there are problems in strategy.

Luo Tong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, came to the stage again. He pointed to the position of Dongshengwei on the Kanyu map, and said with regret: "My task is to rebuild the guards in Monan."

"Daning Dusi, Sanjiang City, Dongshengwei, Weiluwei, Weiyuanwei and other guards in the southern part of Monan are in a dangerous position. They are the must pass through for Wala, Tatar and Wuliangha to enter Daming Hetao and go south to Shanxi and Gyeonggi. The way, the guards of Hongwu abandoned it in 28 years..."

The views of Luo Tong and Chen Ying seem to be completely opposite.

Chen Ying said that Jianbian Town was not as fast as the Dawara people, but Luo Tong's point of view was that the guards in Monan still had to be restored. If Monan was gone, the Northern Expedition would be half the result with twice the effort. Huge problems would arise in the dispatch of food, grass, roads, etc. .

But in fact, the views of the two are completely consistent. Luo Tong’s project of rebuilding the Monan guards is to serve the Northern Expedition, not to build a new frontier town, but to establish a system of guards like permanent fortifications. , to achieve true domination.

Serving the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Qiyu sat in the auditorium and listened carefully to the generals' project books. These generals studied for ten months, and the project books they made became more and more detailed and thoughtful. The eyes of Yang Hong and other veterans of the border guards brightened.

Yang Hong, who has been a soldier all his life, is very pleased with such a thriving lecture hall.

Zhu Qiyu listened to the classwork for nearly an hour, took a break in the middle, and then ended. All the graduated generals will go to the [-]th Regiment Battalion to serve as junior and middle-level officers above the commander-in-chief.

The new batch of students will enter the school after the spring of next year.

Zhu Qiyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw more than 500 soldiers leaving the martial arts hall with large and small bags.

These people are disciples of the Son of Heaven. When someone ordered the bombing of Chang’an Gate and the Tai’an Palace, these low-level and middle-level military officers were the ones who executed it. Would they really bombard Chang’an Gate and Tai’an Palace?
Zhu Qiyu was sure they would not.

The army is the ballast stone of Ming Dynasty politics, and it is the last resort.

And now the ballast stone is getting thicker and thicker.

"Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain have the most bandits. With this strategy, we plan to let the [-]th Regiment Battalion wipe out all the bandits in these two mountain ranges. Tomorrow, all the deputy commanders, commanders and commanders of the Beijing Battalion will be called together to discuss the plan to suppress the bandits." matter." When Zhu Qiyu left the lecture hall, he gave Yang Hong a word of advice.

Shi Heng and Yang Hong bowed their heads respectfully to see off His Majesty.

Going out to suppress bandits is also one of the responsibilities of the Beijing Camp, but it is the first time in this dynasty to go out to suppress bandits on a large scale.

The Beijing camp needs military training, King Xiang has to pay taxes and taxes, don't rebel, and is unwilling to be a sharpening stone, then these bandits and bandits have become the best sharpening stones for the Beijing camp.

After Zhu Qiyu inspected the [-]th Regiment Battalion and the Siwu Regiment Battalion, he went back home.

Tai'an Palace welcomed his long-lost master.

Empress Dowager Sun never had any dissatisfaction with Zhu Qiyu's refusal to visit the palace, because even the Empress Dowager Wu who lived in Tai'an Palace actually never saw Zhu Qiyu twice a month.

Ever since Empress Wang and Concubine Hang Xian became pregnant, the emperor seldom returned to Tai'an Palace.

Fengtian Hall, Wenhua Hall, Lecture Hall, Lecture Hall, Wang Gong Factory, Bingzhan Bureau, Baoyuan Bureau, Shijing Factory, Twelve Regiment Battalion, the capital almost everywhere has His Majesty's figure, but only Tai'an Palace does not. The figure of His Majesty.

Empress Wang and Concubine Hang Xian are fine, because they are pregnant, they have no thoughts, but they have suffered a lot for the two nobles who have just entered Tai'an Palace.

Tang Yunyan and Li Xi'er are almost becoming husband and wife stones.

His Majesty bid farewell to Ye Ting, and has not seen anyone for more than two months.

Zhu Qiyu got off the horse and didn't take up the reins, but patted the unremarkable short-legged horse. The short-legged horse gave a rhythm twice, and then walked towards the stable.

This pony is even a little black and thin, but among all the war horses, it is the most fierce.

The ceremonial horse was a pure white tall horse, but its status in the stable was lower than that of a pony horse.

There is no way, Zhu Qiyu's war horse is too fierce, and other horses are afraid of it.

Zhu Qiyu went to see the Empress Dowager Wu first, and then went to the study.

The imperial study room of Tai'an Palace has undergone an expansion, mainly because courtiers will come to visit from time to time, and a large square table is specially set up.

Behind the imperial study room, a large warehouse was set up, which contained the charts and records of the great Ming treasure ship that His Majesty had been thinking about, especially various nautical charts and hull designs.

Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist after dealing with official documents for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Meilin.

"Husband, it's getting dark. I'm busy all day, but I can't see my husband." Wang Meilin smiled and walked over, rubbing Zhu Qiyu's shoulders. Her husband is busy all day. Even if she is inconvenient, His Majesty has returned to the palace. , but also to see.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "The state affairs are troublesome, I have been busy, and in a few years, when the world is at peace, I will also do my best to be the foolish king that the courtiers say."

A big bath was built in Tai'an Palace, it is said to be big, but it can only accommodate two or three people. Your Majesty is still thrifty, and there are only eight sets of regular clothes for four seasons, and Xing'an is not good for large-scale construction.

The main thing is that Xing'an is relatively stingy, and it won't be able to use such good materials when it is built.

"It's not easy for me to say anything about the affairs of the foreign court, but a group of people are chattering endlessly, so don't bother with them." Wang Meilin was immediately a little unhappy. His husband is so diligent, and they still talk about the country all day long. When it is about to perish, the demon will give birth to it.

It's just nonsense.

Daming's court cannot say that the leakage is like a sieve, it can only be said that there are no secrets.

The court meeting is held today, and it will be spread all over the streets and alleys tomorrow.

Zhu Qiyu played with Wang Meilin's little hand, and said with a smile: "I'm going to take a bath and change clothes too, lady and husband to wash together?"

"The bathroom was too small last time, and I couldn't let go of my figure."

There was a blush on Wang Meilin's face. This secret affair in the boudoir is always a bit embarrassing and unforgettable.

It has been eight months, and when His Majesty said this, she immediately felt some heat, lingering and lingering under her lower abdomen, which would not go away for a long time.

After thinking about it, Wang Meilin said in a low voice: "Then go down to take a bath, and the concubine will have to rest early. This child is uneasy, and in the middle of the night, he will make a fuss, kicking around, making people fall asleep." Not stable."

"Really? Let me listen." Zhu Qiyu listened carefully to the child's movement, but it was very quiet, only the sound of the fetal heart beating could be heard.

The sound of the heartbeat is very steady.

"This child must be strong and strong in the future." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

Wang Meilin touched her lower abdomen and said with a sigh: "If she is a girl, then she cannot be physically strong."

"Your Majesty, go take a bath." Wang Meilin said softly.

Looking at Wang Meilin's expression, Zhu Qiyu seemed a little puzzled: "Didn't I come back all this time, did I talk to you?"

Wang Meilin frowned and looked at her husband, and said in a daze for a long time, "Your Majesty forgot that there are two other nobles in the mansion, did you just come in?"

Wang Meilin thought that her husband seemed to be calm and calm, and he was keeping the house safe, so he deliberately stayed in the study to deal with official documents. She came over to urge her, and talked here for a long time.

But His Majesty is not in a hurry at all, could it be that he really forgot?

Only then did Zhu Qiyu remember that there were two nobles in Tai'an Palace, waiting for their luck.

In the past few days, he has been busy with minting silver coins. The first batch of generals in the martial arts hall will graduate and return to the [-]th Regiment Battalion. He is really busy.

"There's no rush for this day." Only then did Zhu Qiyu recall that Tang Yunyan, who was full of restlessness in the house, Zhu Qiyu was also afraid that Wang Meilin would be jealous, which would make the family uneasy.

There are so many things going on in other kingdoms, if the harem is restless and quarrels arise, there will be more right and wrong.

Wang Meilin looked at her husband, quite moved, she pursed her lips, then leaned forward, kissed her husband's lips rather obsessively, and then let go after a long time.

"Husband, let's go take a bath." Wang Meilin's face was flushed, and she was a little bit unsatisfied, but after all, she was inconvenient, and it was not convenient for her to go to bed, especially with a bigger belly and more nights. It would be even worse if she disturbed her husband to rest.

She is indeed jealous, but she is even more unwilling to disturb her husband's state affairs and make him unhappy. The government is bad enough. As his wife, she can't add trouble to him, can she?

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Then I'm going to take a bath now."

He walked out of the imperial study and went to the new study building to take a good look at the documents and materials of the Ming Dynasty's seven voyages to the West, feeling deeply about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Meilin walked out of the imperial study with her hands in her hands, and said to Xing'an: "Li Guiren's forehead is red today, let Tang Guiren sleep with you. Your Majesty is at the Huaqing Pool right now, let Tang Guiren go now."

Compared with Tang Yunyan, who was long and ruined the country and the people, Wang Meilin liked Li Xi'er better, but Li Xi'er came to Tiankui and couldn't sleep, so Tang Yunyan, who was ruining the country and the people, could only go.

You can't let the two nobles continue to wait. If you wait any longer, your heart will melt.

Zhu Qiyu lay comfortably in the bathing pool, thinking about how to suppress the bandits in Taihang Mountain. This battle was aimed at testing the results of the training of the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp, the dispatch of grain and grass in the Ming Dynasty, the training in the lecture hall, and the dispatch of post stations.

"Your Majesty, Empress Chitose asked my concubine to come and wait for Your Majesty to take a bath." A pretty voice sounded outside the door.

Zhu Qiyu recognized the voice, it was Tang Yunyan, he nodded and said, "Come in."

Tang Yunyan walked in amidst the mist, took off her clothes, and walked into the pool step by step, her face flushed.

"Your Majesty." Tang Yunyan's legs softened, and she threw herself into Zhu Qiyu's arms.
