Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 788: The Western Region Allied Forces invaded Hami and the Emperor was furious and revealed his strategy.

Now Zhu Wenfang is surrounded by four second-grade women: his two wet nurses, a nanny, and Xu Qing's wet nurse.

Among them, Bai He is the youngest, only sixteen years old. He came out of Siyuan Prison and married Ruan Zhu.

Si Yuanjian is nominally a gardener who grows flowers, grass, fruits and vegetables, but in fact he is a hidden Xichang. He is also responsible for handling various private affairs for the emperor, the emperor, the prince, and the princess.

So when Bai He opened his mouth, he first told the intelligence: "Master, according to our information, there is a group of people in the Jinyi Guards who are trying to confuse the public and have evil intentions."

Zhu Wenfang asked: "Are they obstructing the investigation?"

Bai He shook his head: "It's not to obstruct the investigation, but more like to lead the case in another direction. According to the people in the Siyuan Supervisor, people from the Jinyiwei team up to guide the anonymous sarcasm of the official."

Zhu Wenfang snorted coldly: "No wonder my father is depressed. Who else is not depressed? It's better to leave my uncle and cousin in the capital."

After getting them away, the enemy no longer had anything to rely on, but instead broke into pieces and went into hiding.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, it is really impossible to guard against it. "

After Bai He finished reporting everything, Xu Qing asked: "Sister, has the farmland assigned to you by your father been arranged?"

When the conversation turned to a lighter topic, Bai He smiled and said: "We were allocated three hundred hectares of fertile land in Yanqing and built a farm at the east end of Longqing Gorge.

Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains to the west, fertile fields to the east, and a large riverbank formed by the water from Longqing Gorge flowing into the plain to the south.

The scenery there is wonderful, with mountains, water, flowers, trees, and canyons.

Although it is not as good as our palace, it is still beautiful and interesting. "

Xu Qing nodded. Recently, a lot of the garrison guards in Huailai and Yanqing have been transferred away. Most of the land has been taken over by Jing Zhaoyin, and some of the land has been distributed to close eunuchs.

These lands were given to the eunuchs and counted as civilian lands, and full taxes were required.

Zhu Qiyu is experimenting with a new method, which is to take back the land around the capital to the royal family as much as possible and set up as much official land as possible to restrain the tyranny of the gentry from annexing it.

Eunuchs were originally the main force in annexing land in the capital, but the fields of the older batch of eunuchs were all taken away by Zhu Qiyu during the previous political purge.

The newly-emerged eunuchs should try their best to guide them to locate their properties in Huailai and Xuanfu areas.

Increasing the presence of eunuchs in Huailai and Xuanfu can strengthen the monitoring of these two houses.

To prevent the emperor from losing his sight again, tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of horses can be used to easily set up an ambush.

There are tens of thousands of people. If he succeeds in setting up an ambush on the grassland, there will be nothing to say. The problem is that he successfully set up ambushes three times in a row in Shanxi, and no one cared about him, no one asked him, and no one saw him. This is a bit fantasy.

While Zhu Wenfang was chatting, he finished his breakfast. Just when he was about to lie down for a while, Ruan Zhu came to urge him: "My lord, the ministers are coming to Ganquan Palace for a court meeting again. Your Majesty has asked you to come with them."

Zhu Wenfang had no choice but to get up, dress neatly, and come to Qingyun Hall.

It was full of people. Zhu Wenfang sat on the dragon chair. The ministers saluted and the court meeting began.

First, Luo Tong, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, according to the Gansu military report, the Great Khan of Eastern Chagatai also secretly led his men and horses to rob Hami.

Hami is a neighbor of Gansu, so the enemy may gain more ground and continue to harass Gansu.

I thought that the court should make preparations early. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he frowned and emphasized to everyone: "The Great Khan of Eastern Chagatai is called Ye Xianwu.

In addition, Yexianbuhua's elder brother Yusinu, with the support of Timur's empire, split the Eastern Chataihe Khanate into two and fought against Yexianbuhua.

The Yemi Lihuo just mentioned was the monarch of the Turpan Khanate. "

It's really frustrating to not even be able to tell who the enemy is. Zhu Qiyu added: "From now on, foreign vassals will no longer be named after their capitals. I will give them country names, and they will be called whatever I tell them to be called.

To the west of Gansu is Hami, a small state loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

To the west of Hami is the Turpan Khanate. Further west, that is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Further west, there is the Timurid Empire, the original Western Chagatai Khanate. "

The ministers looked at each other in astonishment when the emperor spoke again. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was not interested in learning about foreign vassals at all. It just recorded the capital of a vassal state and used it to refer to its country.

As for who the king of the vassal country is, who his ministers are, and what changes have occurred in the country, I have no interest in knowing.

That's when Zhu Qiyu started to be more serious.

Zhu Qiyu also knew that the ministers had no interest in the Western Regions at all, so much so that they even dug out the Luntai Edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Later generations have always called it the Luntai Sinji Edict. In fact, if you look at the original text, it is not the Sinji Edict at all.

After the defeat of Li Guangli, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to garrison the fields in Luntai, which caused a great psychological collapse in the government and the public.

People had already reached the limit of their endurance, and the farm round platform became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to issue the Luntai Edict, clarifying that he had not decided to farm in Luntai and that he wanted to recuperate and care for the people.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's conquest of the Xiongnu was completely over.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhu Qiyu could only continue by himself: "There will be many enemy invasions in the direction of Gansu. In addition to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, there are also the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire.

However, the imperial court has tens of thousands of elite border troops guarding it, and Su Fan is on guard, so the problem is not big and there is no need to worry too much.

Cao Guogong has been transferred back to Gansu. In a few years, I will send the King of Han, King of Xia and other princes to the northwest to take charge.

As for the khanates such as Eastern Chagatai and Turpan, they will be destroyed within a few years. "

Luo Tong had no choice but to bite the bullet and added: "But the Mongolian puppet Khan Agabarji is also leading the main force to approach Ningxia. If several groups of troops gather together and attack the Hetao, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Qiyu stopped talking, and the enemy would almost certainly enter the Hetao. If they occupy the river and refuse to leave, wouldn't it become Zhu Qizhen's Tianshun story.

Historically, after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, the Mongols were put into the Hetao, and Zhu Jian was trapped in a deep pit to death.

But in the court, you cannot show weakness. Once you show weakness, the prestige you have built so easily will be damaged.

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be calm and replied: "I want to lure the enemy deep and encircle and annihilate them with pocket formations. When Agabarji leads the coalition forces into Hetao, I will send Gansu border troops to surround and block Guyuan.

Then he ordered Dongshengwei's 100,000 troops to go around Ningxia and block the enemy's retreat.

Then all the elite troops from Gyeonggi were stationed in Yulin and fought to the death with the Mongols in Hetao.

I don’t believe it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. The Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, so doesn’t it have any famous generals? "

A bunch of old foxes in the palace all found the key words in what the emperor just said: all the elites from the capital will come out.

Isn't this the old path of the Beishou Emperor before the Tumubao Incident?

Everyone was not sure whether the emperor was really in a mood, or whether he was speaking indiscriminately.

No one dared to speak out to dissuade him. After all, the emperor had been in a strange mood recently, and the anonymous satirical remonstrance case was causing a storm in the city.
