The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 300 Master Ye tutored all the generals in the army and encircled the land to build the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious!

Jiang Wei didn't dare to look up at Zhu Yuanzhang because he couldn't let Zhu Yuanzhang see even the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face.

He knows very well what role he is. He is just the emperor's eyes, and he is still an eye that cannot have its own emotions.

But after all, he has seen how good Mr. Ye is, so how can he just be an emotionless eye?
He didn't want anything to happen to Ye Qing,
But what Ye Qing did was so extreme that no matter how much he thought about it, it would never be okay.

At the very least, from Jiang Wei's point of view, no matter how much he thought, nothing would happen.

But in order not to make Zhu Yuanzhang suspicious, in order not to lose this job, he could only act as an emotionless eye.

At least when he comes to do this job, he won't exaggerate or add jealousy.

But if this job fell into the hands of Hu Weiyong and the others, he, Ye Qing, would really not know how he died.

The reward of seeking truth from facts is the only good thing he can do for Ye Qing!
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei immediately spoke: "Master Ye chartered several flower boats and said that he wanted to invite all the generals from the Ningbo Prefecture's garrison and thousands of households and above to travel to Suzhou and Hangzhou together."

"but."

As expected, before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he interrupted forcefully: "What did you say?"

"How long has it been since he arrived in the new place? It has only been a month, and he is about to start wooing local generals?"

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang just took a deep breath.

Jiang Wei only saw the golden dragon head on Zhu Yuanzhang's chest expanding significantly, and only heard the sound of heavy snoring. He knew that the whites of his eyes must have become red again without looking at them.

Yes!

The new official has been in office for a few months, and even before his buttocks are warm, he wants to resume his job and do the business of grabbing cultural relics.

You must know that the jurisdiction of the prefect and the jurisdiction of the county are completely different things.

Ningbo Prefecture has ten counties under its jurisdiction. Although it is not an important military town like Yanmen County, it still has ten counties and eight guards.

Yuyao County, Cixi County, Beicang County, Yin County, Fenghua County, Ninghai County, and Xiangshan County along the coast each have one guard force. (One guard has 120 soldiers, divided into five thousand-household stations, and one station has [-] soldiers.)
Although Zhenhai County is close to the sea, because it is smaller than other counties, it shares one health facility with Jiangbei County and Sanjiang County.

Three thousand-household households in Zhenhaiwei are located in Zhenhai County, one thousand-household household is located in Jiangbei County, and one thousand-household household is located in Sanjiang County.

If these eight guards totaling [-] soldiers, like Yanmen County, all became his Ye Qing's people, Zhu Yuanzhang would really not be able to sleep.

You must know that Ningbo Mansion is only [-] miles away from Yingtian Mansion!

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he immediately asked someone to convey the order. He really didn't want to think about anything else!

Whether he, Ye Qing, really wanted to rebel, or he just looked like he was going to rebel, it didn't matter.

All he knew was that a sword as sharp as iron was hanging on his dragon bed. Not to mention unable to sleep, he was not in the mood to work even if he placed his beautiful concubine there.

But before he could speak, Queen Ma came over with health tea.

Empress Ma looked at Jiang Yu who lowered his head and said nothing, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was furious and his eyes were bloodshot, and she immediately knew what was going on.

What else could be going on?

It must be the restless Ye Qing who did something to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang again!

Queen Ma felt dizzy when she thought of this, and felt that she should increase the dosage of her health tea!
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that since his sister was here, as long as he did not convince her, his intention to chop off Ye Qing's head would not leave the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to say anything more. He just sat back on the throne and said to Jiang Yu: "Tell the Queen the Empress everything you know, down to the smallest detail."

After saying that, he looked at Queen Ma and said, "You write this imperial edict to kill Ye Qing."

Regarding this, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be very confident.

In his opinion, after hearing these words, his sister will definitely make this decision to avoid long nights and dreams.

Seeing this scene, Queen Ma also realized that what Ye Qing did this time must be extremely excessive.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been dealing with Ye Qing for so long, would never have reacted in such a reckless manner.

But she didn't want to say anything more to Zhu Yuanzhang now. She had to wait until she understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Empress Ma looked at Jiang Wei and said in an easy-going yet rigorous tone: "General Jiang, please tell me what is going on."

Jiang Wei saluted and said: "Replying to your Majesty, Mr. Ye has chartered several flower boats and said that he would like to invite all the generals from the Ningbo Prefecture's garrison and those with a thousand households and above to travel around Suzhou and Hangzhou together."

"But he doesn't want to spend all the girls from the Central Plains on the ship looking for Japanese girls."

"It is said to enhance the atmosphere and provide tutoring lessons for the garrison generals!"

"Yes, just tutoring!"

When Queen Ma heard this, she also said thoughtfully: "Teaching lessons?"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his molar teeth and said: "It's just a rubbish lesson. I think he just wants to use [Sai Guifei Club]'s 'Naval Battle to Kill Japanese' package to make these generals the same as the Yanmen garrison generals, all of them" Become his."

"There are more than 2 soldiers stationed in Yanmen. They are still far away from us, so I won't talk about it!"

"But these 4 people are right under our noses. If they become his people, can we still sleep?"

"Sister, don't let me have a long night and have too many dreams!"

Empress Ma completely ignored the angry Zhu Yuanzhang, and just looked at Jiang Yu and said: "General Jiang, when your people come back, are all the generals here?"

Jiang Wei said respectfully: "Reply to your Majesty, when we came back, Master Ye only sent people to rent a boat and sent people to inform the generals."

"I think it will take at least seven or eight days before the generals and the flower boats can reach Sanjiangkou Pier."

Having said this, Jiang Wei paused again and said: "I thought that the generals at the guard station might not necessarily give Master Ye this face."

"After all, this is not Yanmen County. Mr. Ye has only been here for a few months!"

It was only because the person in front of him was Queen Ma that Jiang Ying dared to express this opinion, which was relatively beneficial to Ye Qing.

If he were facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he would not dare to give any advice that would be beneficial to Ye Qing.

And in his opinion, anyone who speaks well of Ye Qing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang is harming him, Ye Qing, and himself.

Of course, except Queen Ma and Zhu Biao!
After Empress Ma nodded, she signaled Jiang Ying to go on her way!

After a while, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were left in the imperial study room with the door closed.

Seeing that Queen Ma was not angry, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately frowned.

"Isn't this going to kill you?"

"Cannons are set up in front of our house, why don't we kill them?"

Queen Ma walked to Zhu Yuanzhang and sat down. Then she held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said gently: "Chongba, everything has pros and cons. What you think of is the worst result."

"The worst result is that we completely let it go, and then he leads a [-]-strong army with new uniforms to attack Yingtian."

"Are you afraid?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became unhappy!
When Chen Youliang was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops, he was not afraid. How could he be afraid of a mere 4 troops?
But when I think about the combat effectiveness of the Yanmen garrison and the sophistication of its equipment, it would be an absolute lie to say that I am not worried at all.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Empress Ma said on his behalf: "It's impossible for you to be afraid, but you will be somewhat worried."

"He invited the garrison generals to go on the flower boat, indeed to build a good relationship with them, but I would like to ask your majesty to think carefully, why did he do this?" "Could it be that he wanted to imitate Yanmen County? Same thing, build a Southern Army arsenal to increase the military strength of the Ningbo garrison?"

"You have to know that in addition to the 'Special Administrative Government' established by you, Ningbo also has the 'Ningbo Shipping Department' that has existed since the Song Dynasty!"

"And Ningbo Shipping Department is dedicated to conducting maritime trade with the Japanese country."

"On the one hand, the Japanese countries had normal trade with our country, the Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, they also colluded with the Japanese pirates to inflict trouble on the coasts of our country, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea."

"Ningbo's army was originally prepared for naval warfare against Japanese invaders, but what is their record against Japanese invaders over the years?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but frowned.

It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the southern coastal army is really not as good as that of the northern frontier army, and it is not even worse than that of the northern frontier army.

Of course, this does not mean that the southern army could not defeat the northern army!
It's just that wars have always been frequent in the north. In this environment, the northerners have developed a good fighting heritage even if they are just trying to survive.

The south has always been relatively stable, which is why the south has more literary champions and the north has more martial arts champions.

If the performance of the southern coastal army was the same as that of the northern frontier army, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have the idea of ​​a sea ban.

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he nodded thoughtfully and said: "You mean, he is trying to improve the military strength of the Ningbo garrison and the combat capabilities of the generals?"

"The four words tutoring homework do sound like that!"

"But did you get a bunch of Japanese girls on the flower boat to tutor you?"

Queen Ma just rolled her eyes several times, but she still couldn't think of what to say.

Yes!

Where can I go to Huachuan to study for homework?

Not only that, but also getting a bunch of Japanese girls who are the most famous in the brothel business to tutor them?
Thinking of this, Empress Ma could only say without confidence: "A prodigy, if this method isn't weird, can he be a prodigy?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a reason, he felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but it was still barely a reason.

After all, Ye Qing does have a lot of strange but miraculous methods!

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang reluctantly listened, Queen Ma said from Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view: "However, we can't just think for the best."

"We really have to guard against him becoming rebellious. After all, people's hearts may change with changes in time and environment."

"But fortunately it's not far away and everything is under our control."

"As long as things are under control, we will stand still. At the same time, we are also prepared for both."

"This way, everything is foolproof, isn't it?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he felt that what his sister said made sense.

In fact, many times, the emperor is the biggest gambler.

The bet failed, the dynasty was destroyed, the family was ruined, the bet was won, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the unparalleled imperial career was achieved.

But many times the emperor would lose everything just because he had no backup plan.

As long as you are prepared to withdraw your bet at any time, you can ensure your invincibility.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made up his mind and decided to take another gamble on Ye Qing.

If the bet is successful, he will have a powerful southern army to Zhenhai and a southern army arsenal for the southern army.

If you lose the bet, you will just lose a talent!
But it's still the same sentence, that is, be prepared to withdraw your bet at any time, and this so-called preparation means that it's time for 'Mr. Guo and his wife' to go out!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at Queen Ma and said with deep eyes: "Sister, isn't Mr. Ye recruiting business?"

"Moreover, he is still sending invitations to old friends, but he is destined to be unable to send Mr. Guo's invitation."

"In that case, how about Mr. Guo and his wife coming uninvited?"

Empress Ma nodded happily and said, "Okay, I really miss Miss Wan'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Empress Ma was happy when she heard Ye Qing, so he rolled his eyes at her and said: "I don't know, I thought Ye Qing was your eldest son!"

Not only was Queen Ma not angry, she was looking in the direction of Ningbo Mansion with expectation in her eyes.

"It would be great if he would be our adopted son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, and then nodded thoughtfully.

This is indeed the truth. His adopted son who can fight best is Mu Ying. If there is another adopted son who can rule the world, it will be a adopted son who is both civil and military.

But then Zhu Yuanzhang habitually bit his back molars.

Because Ye Qing is not only not as obedient as Mu Ying, but he also has an eloquence that says whoever becomes his adoptive father will be ruined for eight lifetimes!

After the two of them made the decision to let Mr. Guo and his wife come out again, they began to prepare for two things.

The first thing is to hand over to Zhu Biao and let him continue to be the interim emperor.

The second thing is to check the list of all the guards in Ningbo Prefecture and the generals with one thousand households and above.

You must know that the generals of the Southern Army knew Zhu Yuanzhang much more than the generals of the Northern Army, and they must avoid the possibility of being recognized.

If any general knew him, Zhu Yuanzhang, then Mr. Guo would not be able to continue being a general!

Fortunately, Xu Da made major adjustments last year, and most of the grassroots generals who knew Zhu Yuanzhang were near the capital.

The generals outside the capital, except for the commander-in-chief of the first and second ranks who were in charge of one side, did not know him.

In the morning seven days later,
Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma came to Ningbo City as wealthy businessmen.

The people they brought were Mao Xiang and the ten young men from Jinyiwei who had served as Ye Qing's personal soldiers. They were all old acquaintances of Ye Qing.

Only this time, they didn't bring any goods, just enough money.

Compared with the Ningbo City of a month ago, there is not much difference between the current Ningbo City and the Ningbo City. It is just that government officials and construction craftsmen are seen taking measurements everywhere.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand architecture, he also knew that this was preparation work before major construction projects.

It was obvious that he, Ye Qing, was about to show off his talents.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very happy.

Finally, the group of them arrived at the gate of the government office!

It can be said that the current government office is surrounded by wooden and bamboo frames except for the visible door.

Judging from the surrounding area, it is more than four times the size of the existing government office.

"what?"

"What does he want to do with such a large territory?"

"Building a palace, what is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the scene in front of him and became angry without even thinking about it! .
　Please follow up with the support of the officials, and please support the recommendation ticket and monthly ticket, thank you!
