Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 520 Split Shaanxi and Gansu to establish the province Lin Cong and Ye Sheng went to Annan as envoy
Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Xiangyu expectantly, but Lin Xiangyu circled Qianxue and Su Xi for more than ten times before helplessly replying: "The slave family is ashamed of their husbands, and they really can't tell the difference."

Even Lin Xiangyu couldn't help it, Zhu Qiyu could only cover his face and sighed: "My God, how did I raise such a pair of slaves, my family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate."

At this time, Ningxiang, who had been watching the show, suddenly laughed and said: "My husband has two choices. One is to surrender obediently and be manipulated by this pair of unscrupulous slaves for three days.

The other one promised that the slave family would be pampered for three days, and that the slave would take care of the two of them for her husband. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I choose the second option, but can you really tell them apart?"

"Of course, if you can't even take care of these two little girls, how can the slave family be the queen of the palace?"

After saying that, Ningxiang leaned down, smelled and smelled on the two little girls, and kissed their little faces respectively, then pointed at them with a confident face and said with a smile:

"The one on the left is Xue'er, and the one on the right is Xi'er. Okay, you two maidservants go to the hot spring pool and kneel down, ready to serve me and take a bath with your male master."

Qianxue asked curiously: "No, how did you tell the difference?"

Zhu Qiyu and Lin Xiangyu were also very curious. They both pricked up their ears and listened. Ningxiang explained with a smile: "Since you were young, I prepared all the spices you used."

Qianxue quickly retorted: "But the two of us have been using the exact same spices."

Ningxiang shook her head: "It just looks the same, but there are actually very subtle differences. The proportions of plum blossoms, pear blossoms, lotus flowers and other raw materials are slightly different.

You can't smell it yourself, only I, the master incense maker, can tell the difference.

Don't ask why, I was just a little naughty. "

Hearing this, Qianxue and Su Xi both glared angrily.

Zhu Qiyu hugged Ningxiang and said, "Let's go, good lady, I will personally take care of you and bathe you."

Ningxiang did not forget to smile at Qianxue and Su Xi: "You two little slaves, crawl to the edge of the hot spring pool on your knees."

Today, Lin Xiangyu, Qianxue, and Su Xi failed one after another and suffered a heavy setback in their fight for favor.

Zhu Qiyu accompanied his beloved concubines in another night of competition for favor.

The next day, Zhu Qiyu didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning to take charge of politics.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch and took the lead in making a summary: "There is really nothing to do this year. I can concentrate on playing with you in the next few months.

Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong are preparing for war and preparing to regain Jiaonan.

Zhejiang and Fujian should restore governance and prepare for the opening of the sea ban.

Southern Zhili, Henan, Shandong, and Jiangxi mainly focus on appeasement.

Huguang, Guizhou, and Sichuan suppressed the Miao rebellion. They were all covered with ravines. We could only rely on Wang Lai and Xiang Zhong for their efforts. I couldn't help them.

That's it for the south. I'll just take care of northern Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Liaodong. "

Zhu Qiyu hugged Lin Xiangyu, took a sip of fresh milk, and continued: "If I want to talk about what big thing I want to do this year, it is to separate Gansu Town from Shaanxi and add it as a province.

Change the Shaanxi Xingdusi located in Ganzhou to the Gansu Dusi, and increase the number of guard posts in Gansu.

The most important thing is to assign the Qarhan Salt Lake in Usizang to Gansu.

Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty's salt industry will undergo drastic reforms. This is the real highlight of expanding the court's income.

However, the Lianghuai Salt Administration and those salt merchants have a strong tendency to be invincible.

So I have to ambush first, and start a new government-run salt industry in the northwest, so as to check and balance the Lianghuai salt administration.

I haven't fully figured out the specific method yet. Let Li Xuan and others try it in Gansu first. Anyway, there are still several years left to reform the salt industry. "

Qianxue teased: "My husband and your mistress are a perfect match, they like to ambush you early in everything they do.

The poor guy who was schemed by you two is really a sword from heaven, an unreasonable disaster. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled sheepishly: "You praise me like this, and I'm embarrassed to say anything further. In fact, I also arranged something in Liaodong.

Let the Jianzhou gang first collude with North Korea. I will take the opportunity to occupy one or two ports in North Korea, mobilize a large army to station, and then send ministers to monitor North Korea.There are many rare products in the deep mountains and forests of North Korea. Once maritime trade with North Korea begins, Japan will be marginalized.

Japan will definitely be unable to sit still, and then I will lure Japan to attack North Korea.

In this way, we can consume the main force of the Japanese army in North Korea first, and after the fight is almost done, I will go to attack the Japanese mainland.

In this process, Jianzhou was wiped out by piggybacking. "

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, several beloved concubines were stunned. This was too whimsical.

This makes it difficult for Zhu Qiyu to explain. In fact, by the end of Wanli, this was pretty much what happened: North Korea's trade first affected Japan, then Japan attacked North Korea, and Ming Dynasty saved the country.

In the end, Japan was defeated in Korea.

It is a pity that Wanli did not attack Japan, but Jianzhou gradually became stronger in the process.

What Zhu Qiyu has to do now is to make targeted adjustments to the strategy based on Wanli's experience and lessons.

Su Xi smiled and said: "When Cao Cao arrived, the two commanders of the Jianzhou Guards, Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, beat up the tax collector outside Chongwen Gate. The cabinet reported it and asked how to deal with it?"

Zhu Qiyu asked: "What does the cabinet want to do?"

Su Xi replied: "The cabinet means to reprimand and fine you."

"Don't reprimand, let Jin Yiwei drag them outside the Daming Gate, in front of the officials and the common people, punish each of them with fifty sticks, and fine them 200 taels of silver."

"Then it's better to put them to death. Humiliating them without killing them, isn't it just letting the tiger go back to the mountain and letting them rebel?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "There are only so many of them, how can they rebel? If they want to have the slightest chance of successful separatism, they can only collude with North Korea."

And this is exactly what I want.As for North Korea, although they appear loyal enough on the surface, they do a lot of tricks behind the scenes.

Coupled with the masterpiece of the eldest brother Gongrang Emperor: the Tumu Fort Change, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in the hearts of vassal countries such as Korea was greatly reduced.

The Ming Dynasty has been turned into such a mess by Emperor Gongrang. We can only make mistakes, take advantage of the situation, and take the opportunity to induce North Korea and Japan to do something extraordinary.

Hey, it’s very difficult for everyone anyway. I want to capture Annan first, then attack Japan, and start overseas trade. When silver and commodities from outside continue to flow into the Ming Dynasty, I will carry out salt policy reforms.

Just these three things lasted ten years.The important task of dominating the world can only be left to the next generation.

This is called success not necessarily mine. "

Qianxue shook her head: "We little ladies can't understand your husband's grand strategic idea, so we just want to serve you comfortably."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's okay. I am the head of the family. I will protect you from wind and rain and help your children conquer the world. You just accept it and let me do whatever I want. Everyone performs their duties and lives are comfortable."

Qianxue smiled and said: "It's a pity that my husband can tame us little girls, but he can't tame your courtiers.

No, the supervisory censor Zhongtong gave a memorial early in the morning, discussing ten strategies for regaining Annan.

I have written thousands of words eloquently. Should you, my husband, read it yourself, or should I be the slave to read it to you? "

Zhu Qiyu quickly waved his hand: "I won't read it, and you shouldn't read it either. You'd better chew it and feed it to me."

Qianxue smiled and said: "The husband opens his mouth and accepts it. I understand the key points in this book. He wants your husband to send a mission first to inform King Annan and the Queen Mother and let them know the difficulty." And surrender, just put some conditions and we treat them preferentially, that’s it.”

"The problem is that they will not surrender despite the difficulties. They only call themselves kings to our Ming Dynasty, but in fact they are emperors in their own country, real emperors.

Even if you are the reincarnation of Zhang Yi, even if the sky is full of flowers, they will not surrender without a fight.

Forget it, what is Zhong Tong’s real purpose? "

"Well, yesterday Liu Dingzhi, Lin Cong and others took the prince to the Chonghua Palace to meet Emperor Gongrang. Although we don't know what they discussed behind closed doors, according to the report from Dongchang, Lin Cong personally went to Chonghua Palace that night. Went to see Zhong Tong."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Forget it, let Lin Cong be the chief envoy and Ye Sheng be the deputy envoy, and go on a trip to Annan. Just follow the instructions in the book and go to the king of Annan to express your righteousness and let them surrender voluntarily. .”
