Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 827 The face is torn, let Zhang Haogu leave the capital quickly!

"The emperor can't wait to attack us!"

In Zhang Haogu's home, a group of core members of the new party gathered here, Cui Chengxiu looked a little unsightly, it seemed that he and others had achieved their goal, but they still failed to achieve perfection.

"Da Ming is approaching, and the emperor can say this. When the Duke of the Ming ruled the world, the Ming Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous, the world was peaceful, and the external wars were victorious. Internally, the officials were clear and bright. , Overseas merchant ships come and go continuously.”

"But now the emperor has turned the world into a mess in just a few months, and I have almost ruined the ten-year achievement of the New Deal."

Everyone was obviously angry and resentful, and now they turned against Zhu Youxiao directly, and even refused to call him His Majesty, and directly called him Emperor.

"The emperor is forcing you to go to Liaodong, so that he can attack us. Minggong, you can't go to Liaodong." Zhang Ruitu said.

Cui Chengxiu, Zhu Shunshui, and Sun Qifeng also said, "That's right, Mr. Ming, if you go to Liaodong, you will fall into the emperor's trick."

Zhang Haogu looked very calm: "Your Majesty wants me to go to Liaodong to sit in Pingliao. As a minister, can I not go?"

"Don't forget, you have made a lot of noise by asking Your Majesty to invite me out of the mountain; now that I have just left the mountain, Your Majesty wants me to sit in Liaodong. If I don't go, will I have to tear myself apart with Your Majesty right now? "

Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "That's right, His Majesty is at the top right now, if you don't let him toss about it, he won't give up."

"Thief! Rebel! I wish I could kill them now!"

"As soon as the court came down, a group of people ran to Zhang Haogu's house and looked up to him! Is it Zhang Haogu who has the final say or I who has the final say?"

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, sighed and left the cabinet.

Liu Guangtong and Ji Min looked at each other, and then looked at Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty recruited ministers to come here, but for the sake of the new party's thieves?"

The status of Zhang Haogu was only restored the day before yesterday, and today he hastily let Zhang Haogu go. The conflicts between the monarch and his ministers were not concealed, and all officials turned a blind eye. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the officials believe it or not. Peace is enough.

Are you safe in Shuntian Mansion?

"The grain and ordnance from Henan and Zhili will be escorted to Tianjin, where they will be shipped and shipped instead of going by land."

"Mr. Sun Ge, what is this?"

Moreover, after the founding of the country, those dignitaries of the Manchu Qing took advantage of the spirit of the newly established country to hold their breath and think about the whole big one. As a result, they returned home in a big defeat on the grassland, and their hearts were dissipated. Money indulges in pleasure.

Zhang Ruitu's eyes flashed brightly: "What does Minggong mean?"

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Youxiao looked at the report sent by Jin Yiwei, and his hands were shaking with anger: "Ah, ah!"

At this time, in Zhang Haogu's mansion, Zhang Ruitu, the second assistant of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Xiangsheng, the senior scholar of the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and the ministers of the Ministry of official affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of household affairs and the Ministry of industry, together with Fang Yunchu, Wang Dashan, Han Yaowei, etc. The generals of the new party are also here.

Not to mention the arrogant soldiers of the Hongwu Dynasty, the tiger and wolf divisions of the Yongle Dynasty, even in the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties, the frontier army and some local soldiers could still fight. tartar.

Zhu You's whole body was trembling with school spirit, and apart from anger, there was also deep fear and shock.

The next day, Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to go to the court after the previous disputes among the ministers, and directly sent someone to issue an imperial edict to Zhang Haogu at the court, giving Zhang Haogu the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked Zhang Haogu to go to Liaodong as soon as possible.

Zhu Youxiao was thoughtful: "Those people in Jiliao Army Town are self-respecting and rebellious. It is indeed hard to deal with them."

"Order the No. 17 town in Shandong and the No. 19 town in Henan to pull out the new army and stand by outside the capital."

Wei Zhongxian shuddered, and quickly said: "Your servant understands, so I will send someone to the south to make preparations and contact those people."

With the transfer order, food and military equipment in Shandong, Henan, Zhili and other places began to be escorted continuously.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since last year, I have been preparing for the battle of Liaodong. Up to now, all kinds of ordnance and material reserves are sufficient, and the cattle, sheep and horses are fully dispatched. Now Minggong can call them."

Such a great momentum of the imperial court naturally attracted the attention of interested people, such as Huang Taiji in Liaodong, the warlord in Jiliao Junzhen, and Zhu Youxiao in the palace.

"Shuntian is not safe anymore! Shuntian is full of New Party thieves, understand?" Zhu Youxiao shouted in a low voice.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then sighed, yes, if this loyal servant who has been following him can't believe it, how many trustworthy people are there around him?

Under such rapid corrosion of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are still a few years left in the white mountains and black waters, and everyone knows it.

Zhang Haogu sat here with the New Party and planned how to attack Liao and deal with Zhu Youxiao's inevitable blow, but Zhu Youxiao was now furious.

Standing up slowly, Zhang Haogu said: "Liaodong is definitely going to be fought, no matter what your Majesty thinks of Liaodong, whether you intend to use it to harm us, but flattening Liaodong is the trend of the times, and is the goal of hundreds of millions of people in the northern provinces. Wish."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since Duke Ming has an idea, I'll just follow suit."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Didn't Your Majesty think that the new party is too powerful to hinder the imperial power, and wants me to go to Liaodong to divide the new party, and let him free up? Then we will follow his idea."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Everyone, the expedition to Liaodong is what the people of the world want. For this matter, we have been preparing for a long time."

"Don't mention that the Manchu and Qing Tartars have been operating in Liaodong for a long time, and they have kept accumulating strength over the years; let's talk about the Jiliao Army Town, they have at least 10,000+ soldiers. Before the emperor wanted to make a northern expedition, there was no one in the court to hold back , but now it’s only Duke Ming going, the emperor and those old parties will inevitably hinder Duke Ming, create trouble, or even deliberately make Duke Ming fail, it’s possible.”

Everyone stood up one after another: "Respect Duke Ming's order."

"Also, so what if His Majesty is freed up to do things? Don't let the big guys see His Majesty's true ability, and His Majesty doesn't want to toss about it to his heart's content, can he give up?"

"What's more, those people in Liaodong are not all stubborn people. They have been doing business with me, Ming Dynasty, and they have made enough money. They are definitely not willing to fight to the end like Huang Taiji. These people can become Minggongs at that time. help."

Qian Qianyi used the excuse that he had just returned to the capital and needed to recuperate, but he did not show his face.

Apprehensive, but also afraid, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had to prepare to run to Jiangnan, and Shuntian Mansion was no longer safe!
The whole person supported the table with both hands, and Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and said after pondering: "Wei Banban."

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "That's why I need you all to cheer for me in the court. Your Majesty may think that it will take a long time to go to Liaodong this time, at least several years."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they said "virtuous minister, loyal man".

"Order Cao Wenzhao, governor of Mongolia, and the cavalry of the four towns of Mongolia are ready to be dispatched at any time."

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "Duke Ming has been weakening Liaodong Huangtaiji all these years. The land in Liaodong is full of cotton and so on. The food is all imported from my Ming Dynasty. If there is no food from Daming, they will not even last this year." That's enough."

After Zhu Youxiao learned about what happened in the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao became more determined to let Zhang Haogu leave the capital as soon as possible, and he must not let Zhang Haogu continue to operate in the capital like this.

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Zhang Hao has great power in the past, but now that this matter is approaching, I am a little hesitant."

In Zhang Haogu's mansion, all the towns gathered together, and Zhang Haogu pointed at the map with a baton in his hand: "Jiliao Army Town is not monolithic, and the warlords of each family do not belong to each other, let alone the warlords above. And the soldiers below are not of one mind."

"Wei Banban, Zhang Haogu mobilized new troops from various provinces, is he going to attack me?" Zhu Youxiao is now skeptical of everyone, hearing that Zhang Haogu has begun to direct the operation of the court, and has also begun to mobilize troops. , Immediately thought of what I had thought about.

Ji Min said: "When two thieves meet, it is bound to be a fight between two tigers. It doesn't matter whether the warlords of Ji Liao or Zhang Haogu, no matter who wins or loses, it is a good thing for His Majesty."

As for what Zhu Youxiao thinks, it doesn't matter!
In the cabinet, Sun Chengzong couldn't help sighing, he didn't understand why Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, the monarch and his ministers, got into the current situation.

However, Zhu Youxiao's plan is to transfer troops to learn from the officials of Huangji Palace to reorganize the court. Now that he is using himself to judge others, Zhu Youxiao doubts whether Zhang Haogu intends to directly transfer troops to Beijing and then attack himself!
Wei Zhongxian looked helplessly at the suspicious Zhu Youxiao. There were five towns of new troops inside and outside Shuntian Mansion. If Zhang Haogu wanted to transfer troops, would he transfer troops from Shandong and Henan?
But Zhu Youxiao is obviously suffering from delusions of persecution now. After all, the officials forced the palace there before, and now Zhu Youxiao really has no idea what Zhang Haogu is going to do.

Now that the quarrel with Zhu Youxiao has come to this point, Zhu Youxiao can't wait to treat him like a carnivore, and Zhang Haogu thinks he doesn't need to worry about anything.

"That's true, then give an order to Zhang Haogu, let him go to Liaodong to defeat the Qing as soon as possible."

Orders were issued one after another, and the Ming court, which began to operate with Zhang Haogu's mansion as the temporary cabinet, was operating in an orderly manner, just like in the past.

Seeing the dignified expressions of everyone, Zhang Haogu smiled: "Everyone, don't be anxious, it might be a good thing to go to Liaodong."

But any corrupt bureaucrats, sour scholars, and corrupt officials who can't get along in Ming Dynasty, once they go to Liaodong, they will be confessed as great talents immediately. The money was collected wantonly, and the treasury of the Manchu and Qing dynasties was emptied. How much food and weapons are left?
How much of the Manchu kingdom is left?

"What's more, in the small imperial court of Huang Taiji, there are so-called people who are full of prosperity. They are all virtuous ministers and loyal people from my Ming Dynasty."

Compared with today's empty cabinet, Zhang Haogu's home has become the office of the new cabinet. Although Zhang Haogu does not have the name of chief assistant now, he does have a chief assistant. They were all sent to Zhang Haogu for processing.

But Zhang Haogu didn't care about Zhu Youxiao's thoughts. With the mobilization of the new army, Zhang Haogu also began to make further arrangements.

"Minggong, all the letters to the governors of the provinces and the governors of the towns have been sent." Huang Zongxi said.

But what's the use of saying that now?

Principal Zhu You sighed: "Go and invite Liu Aiqing and Ji Aiqing."

"Go home, why don't you be a clay sculpture here?"

"To a large extent, the emperor probably wants me to wait for the Jiliao army town and Manqing to consume, so that he can take the opportunity to attack me, but as long as I fight fast enough, we can roughly cover the area before the end of the year. It's not a big deal to end the war."

When Zhang Ruitu said this, everyone's expressions changed.

Zhang Ruitu and Qiao Yunsheng both ran to Zhang Haogu's residence.

For the first time, Zhu Youxiao, who could not control the military and political power, felt so helpless and weak.

No wonder Wu Zong likes to go out, and Sejong would rather live outside than in the palace. In this huge palace, among so many court ladies and eunuchs, how many of them are other people's spies, and how many are plotting against him?

The new armies in Shandong, Henan, and Zhili also began to assemble and mobilize, and the army pulled out their camps and continued to gather outside Shuntian Mansion.

Look at the cabinet, who else is there besides yourself?
Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng were originally clay sculptures, but now they say they are sick and cannot go to court.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao said: "Wei Banban, listen, you immediately send someone to the south to contact the Donglin Party and the Township Party, and let them prepare in the south."

Only then did Zhu Youxiao sigh and sit back on the dragon chair. Although Ji Min and Liu Guangtong told him a lot of plans, he was also confident that he could rebuild the country, but in the end, Zhu Youxiao, who had seen the power of the new party I still can't help but feel frightened, can I defeat these new party thieves and reorganize Daming Mountains and Rivers?

"The most important thing right now is to let Zhang Haogu go to Liaodong as soon as possible, and don't give him much time to prepare. Otherwise, he will go to Liaodong after he is fully prepared in the capital. It will be really troublesome for His Majesty to reorganize the government."

Once the Manchu Qing was short of food and salaries, and its armaments were slackened, it would be clear at a glance how it would end up in a corner.

Zhang Haogu nodded in satisfaction: "Not only that, Jiliao Army Town is not a big problem."

Soon Liu Guangtong and Ji Min rushed to the Hall of Martial Ying. When they saw Zhu Youxiao, they knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation: "I see Your Majesty."

Liu Guangtong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't need to do that. Not to mention the Liaodong Tartars, even the Jiliao Army Town is not something that Zhang Haogu can easily take down."

What's more, there are still those talented people. Even if Huang Taiji tried his best to govern, his subordinates are all like this.

"The Jiliao Army Town is already at odds with the imperial court, and they support their own self-respect. If Zhang Haogu is to go, what can we do?"

Indeed, according to the current emperor's attitude towards the New Party and Zhang Haogu, this kind of thing is absolutely possible, and he is even happy to see it.

"The warlords ruled the soldiers, beat and scolded them frequently, and did not pay the soldiers, and treated the soldiers as slaves, while the middle-level generals even drank the blood of soldiers and withheld food and grass. The warlords ate the most, and the middle-level generals also ate their brains full of fat. And the soldiers at the bottom have no money or food, and suffer a lot.”

Thinking of what Concubine Xuanyi said that she had lost the military and political power, and thinking about the fate of Wuzong, Shizong, Shenzong and others, Zhu Youxiao felt chills all over, and felt that the palace was not safe.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help feeling a little regretful, why didn't he wait any longer, why did he have to tear himself apart with Zhang Haogu?

"These people didn't hide it directly, did they?"

Perhaps the emperor secretly reached a deal with Ji Liao Junzhen, just waiting to trap Zhang Haogu and the new party.

"Who are they showing this posture impatiently?"

After hearing Zhang Haogu's words, everyone became serious. Indeed, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to invite Zhang Haogu out of the mountain because of the organization's people waving flags and shouting. Is it possible that the next step is for the emperor to abdicate and let the new emperor ascend the throne?That reputation is really going to stink.

Zhu Youxiao stepped forward to help the two of them: "You two lovers, please stand up."

Zhu Youxiao looked up at Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Banban, can I still trust you?"

What's more, he is still a cabinet scholar, and he holds military power. In the name of the court and the new party, he summons generals and arranges his confidants. Zhang Haogu's current behavior is very aboveboard.

The power of the new party is too great, and it has completely enveloped the court. How long can I be the emperor?

"The most important thing in attacking the Jiliao Army Town is not the warlords, nor the middle-level generals. Those generals are the confidantes of each family, but the basic officers at the bottom can be won over."

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward quickly: "My lord."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, this emperor really planned to go to Yingtian Mansion?

Zhang Haogu looked at all the people present, smiled and began to order: "Shandong's grain and military equipment are ordered to be shipped to southern Liaonan by the navy, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of southern Liaoning, is ordered to strengthen his defenses, organize militias, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army."

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground with a thump: "My lord, if you don't believe in slaves, who else can you trust?"

I think the soldiers of Daming were able to fight back then.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youxiao suddenly woke up: Yes, the most important thing now is to let Zhang Haogu leave as soon as possible!

Zhang Ruitu was a little worried: "Duke Ming, the emperor asked you to go to Liaodong because his intentions were impure. In the land of Liaodong, the Jiliao army town, and the Manchu Tartars, it's not easy to hold each other back."

Otherwise, Zhang Haogu was in the capital, and those new parties were integrated by him, so he would not be able to command the palace, and he would really become a puppet.

"In a few days, I will select people to lead the army. When I am not in the court, everyone will perform their duties and echo each other from afar."

"But everyone, don't forget that since the implementation of the New Deal, the Ming Dynasty has become stronger day by day, while the Manchu Qing has been getting worse day by day. The Ming Dynasty has risen and the Manchu Qing has continued to weaken. How many do they have now? Divide your strength?"

Otherwise, inside and outside the palace, the entire Zhili and even the north were controlled by Zhang Haogu, and he would have no hope of making a comeback.

Fang Yun said: "Duke Ming means that we will win over the low-level officers and soldiers and let them transfer to the imperial court?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Supporting troops to attack and plan, all of them are my Ming soldiers, what's the matter with attacking each other and bleeding so that outsiders can see the joke?"

"The low-level officers and soldiers are poor people. The warlords above have swallowed the military salaries and food given to them by the imperial court. They don't have any resentment in their hearts? What's more, the imperial court occupies the righteousness. Are they willing to be slaves to those warlords and generals all the time? ?"

"Let's see, Ji Liao Junzhen will not be our enemy, but only help."
