Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 610 North Korea’s elites are sent to northern Xinjiang to lure Japan across the sea in white clothes
Zhu Qiyu was also helpless. Although he acted absurdly, the previous emperors often did some nonsensical things, so he had to wipe their butts at every turn.

There was also Liu Qiu, who was thrown into prison by Zhu Qizhen because he opposed the expedition to Luchuan, and was quartered in prison by Ma Shun's lieutenants.In the end, the eldest son finally had to go back and bury one of his arms.

During the Jingtai Dynasty, many people petitioned to rehabilitate Liu Qiu, but Zhu Qiyu refused to agree.

There are two problems here. First, Liu Qiu opposed the expedition to Luchuan and firmly supported Xuanmiao's territorial contraction strategy.Not to mention the orthodox emperor hated him so much that he gnashed his teeth, even Emperor Jingtai was upset when he heard about him.

And the most important point is that not long after Liu Qiu was dismembered, Ma Shun's son died of illness, and the school captain responsible for dismembering Liu Qiu died suddenly.

Zhu Qiyu was extremely unhappy with this obvious act of revenge.If Liu Qiu is redressed, and everyone will follow suit in the future, holding high the banner of abandoning soil and favoring foreigners in Xuan Temple, running around and shouting, and even dare to retaliate against Jin Yiwei, then I will not be the emperor in the future.

Even if I can suppress the ministers with my military prestige, what about my son and my grandson?What do they do.

You can't get used to this bad habit, and Liu Qiu definitely can't get rid of it.

When Zhu Qiyu was thinking about something, Lin Xianer hurried in holding a military newspaper.

Seeing his beloved concubine panting, Zhu Qiyu hurriedly advised: "My beloved, don't be anxious, drink some water first."

Lin Xian'er replied: "The six hundred miles from North Korea are urgent. The Ministry of War has already dismantled them and then urged them to be presented to you immediately."

Zhu Qiyu curiously took the military report, read it from the beginning, and then smiled at Lin Xianer: "It's nothing, the sky won't fall. You go back first and keep an eye on it for me to see if there are any new military reports coming later."

Lin Xian'er listened seriously, took a short rest, and then went back to Changle Palace to guard.

Now in Zhu Qiyu's mind, the fifteen concubines were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower according to their emotional closeness.There are some curse words that I don't want to say in front of the concubines of the middle and lower classes.

After Xian'er walked away, Zhu Qiyu cursed: "All [-] Liaodong troops surrendered to North Korea. Great Lord Shouyang did a good job. Let him take care of these wastes that wasted my precious food for me.

It's best to keep it for me for a lifetime. Anyway, I won't ask for it back. "

Lin Xiangyu asked worriedly: "Husband, don't just be happy for yourself. Now that the Ming army has suffered a huge defeat, isn't North Korea even more arrogant?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "I said that if you want to take something, you must give it to me. If you are too lazy to pay attention to them, let them play for a while first.

It is enough for me to attract all the elite soldiers of North Korea to confront the Ming army at the border.

Do you think they can only sneak attack the Ming army?
When Japan dispatched a hundred thousand troops, crossed the sea in white clothes, and suddenly stabbed them in the back, I asked them to understand the dangers of the world. "

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It seems that our ridiculous Emperor Jingtai is going to trick people again."

"Hmph, if this battle hadn't been fought, we wouldn't have known that North Korea had secretly built a heavy infantry force of 5 people.

This is obviously coveting the territory of the Jurchen tribes.

Oh my god, there are endless butts everywhere.Today's Hamgyong Province in North Korea is basically the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.Further forward belongs to Liao and Jin.

As a result, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea seized the opportunity and occupied it all.

Finally, our Emperor Taizong said: The land of Korea is within my territory, so why should I fight for it?

With a single word, Ham Kyung Dao gave it to North Korea. "

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, even Taizong dug a hole for his husband. Then you, the gatekeeper Zhu, are well-deserved. You really worry about protecting Daming's family property."

Qianxue asked: "Are we going to cut off trade with North Korea?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "The war will continue, and the business will continue. We will cut off trade with Japan and retain trade with North Korea.

Eventually Japan was forced to attack North Korea.As soon as the Japanese army lands in Korea, our eternal imperial legacy will be completed. "

"Can the Japanese take the bait?" "Haha, you don't know that the Japanese may have some merits in tactics, but they are extremely short-sighted in strategy.

So we may have to pay a high price in the war, but the final victory will definitely belong to us.

Forget it, let’s not talk about them. After a while, I sent more than a thousand warships of the Tengzhou Navy, carrying [-] Shandong Japanese troops, to land in Incheon and besiege Seoul.

The warships of the Dengzhou Navy were heading east, facing Seoul. "

The next day, the defeat of the Liaodong Army appeared in the newspapers.

Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to cover up for them, and he didn't convene a court meeting, just pretending that it didn't happen.

On the fifth day of May, the palace examination was held in the square in front of Qingyuntai, and Zhu Qiyu came to the scene to invigilate the examination.

It was not until noon that Kong Gongxun appeared in the examination room.

Facing this belated candidate, the other candidates all looked over.

Wang Wen came to the emperor to ask for instructions, and Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Because my mother is seriously ill, I would rather not get the honors, but rush back to visit her. This is the most filial piety. Let him continue the exam and extend his exam time by two hours."

So the exam went on normally.

Taking the exam in this picturesque Ganquan Palace is a novel experience for the candidates.Fortunately, everything went smoothly and there were no further incidents.

On May [-]th, the cabinet, together with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, completed the examination and submitted the draft rankings and examination papers to the emperor.

In Qingyun Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu frowned and stared at the list for a long time before asking He Yi: "This, Sun Xian is number one, Xu Pu is number two, and Xu Cui is number three? Who decided these?"

He Yi smiled and said: "This is just a joint suggestion from the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites. The final decision on the first grade Jinshi will be made by the Holy One.

However, as usual, the emperor generally does not make any changes. "

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I don't approve of this list."

He Yi replied: "According to the article, everyone recommended Qiu Jun as the number one pick. But Qiu Jun looked ugly, so he was moved to No. 1 in the second class."

"Judging books by their appearance? Do I agree? Who allowed them to make their own decisions?"

Seeing that the emperor was very unhappy, He Yi did not dare to continue talking.

"Put it here first. After half a month, I will read the test papers one by one and then re-rank them.

Although I respect the efforts of the ministers, they can't arrange things blindly. How come they are more willful than me?

Let’s talk about the war in Northeast China. Is there any progress? "

He Yi replied: "The [-] Beijing troops are fighting hard in Xuanzhou with North Korea's [-] elite heavy infantry and part of the navy. The North Korean army occupies a favorable location and has a numerical advantage. Our army has suffered heavy losses and has low morale. It may be difficult to win for a while.

However, in the direction of Xianjing Road, the Jurchen tribes gathered 1 people, and Li Chengyu had more than 2 people, plus Jiang Yuan and Fang Ying's [-] cavalry, which gave them an advantage.

North Korea has a total of [-] elite heavy infantry, [-] are in Xuanzhou, [-] are attacking Hamgyong Road, and the remaining [-] are in the hands of Li Chengyu.

Therefore, North Korea's elite are all concentrated on the northern border.

At this time, whether our army crosses the sea from Dengzhou and directly attacks Seoul, or Japan crosses the sea and attacks Pusan, North Korea will collapse. "
