Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 121
"I don't see anything wrong with Yuan Qing's memorial. Why are most of the cabinet opposed to it?"

Zhu Youxiao held up the memorial he held, looked at Fang Congzhe, Liu Yizhen, Han Xu, and Zhu Guozuo, and said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Is it possible that the battle of Saarhu, which has attracted much attention from the government and the public, must be pushed back until the first year of the Apocalypse? Or did it take even longer for the ministers to be satisfied? Or... Yuan Qing's investigation was so true that all ministers were worried? "

When talking about this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Yuan Keli. What does it mean to care about the country and care about the world? Yuan Keli is a model!
Is it difficult to determine the outcome of the Battle of Salhu?

Not difficult!

At least Zhu Youxiao found it not difficult. It involved all the preparations before the war, all the things during the battle, and all the defeat after the war. Even if a group of generals and soldiers died, the corresponding memorials and documents were archived by the Secretary. , but why has the controversy over this battle never stopped?

Even Yang Hao, the Liaodong manager who was in charge of this battle, was detained until the second year of Chongzhen before he was executed. What is even more interesting is that Li Rubai committed suicide in fear of crime in the first year of Tianqi.

The truth is not difficult to find out, but the difficulty lies in people’s hearts! !

There's too much trickery here.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao secretly thought that he must solve the Liao affairs, solve the Jianlu, and solve certain important issues. After the Battle of Saarhu is finalized, Yuan Keli, as the pillar and pillar of the Ming Dynasty, should find a way Stay in the central court to seek opportunities to join the cabinet and gain real power in a certain department, rather than being sent out to take important positions in local areas.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the memorial submitted by Yuan Keli is too radical."

Fang Congzhe stepped forward and bowed: "The tragic defeat in the Battle of Sarhu was not caused by a simple man-made disaster, but was related to the weather. This is a big fallacy. If this theory spreads, and even spreads to Liao, what will happen to the people who guard Liao?" For the military everywhere, it will inevitably have an impact. In serious cases, it will even destabilize the morale of the military, giving the Jianlu an opportunity.

And Yang Hao may have made some mistakes, but he is definitely not a person who harmed the country with empty talk as Yuan Keli said. If this conclusion is made, where is the dignity of the court?How should the world view it?This matter..."

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and interrupted in an indifferent tone: "According to Fang Qing's wishes, the generals and athletes who died in the 47th year of Wanli, the lost Liao border passes, and the Ye He tribe who were conquered by the Jianlu, The national prestige that was lost in the vassal state of Korea is not important anymore?"

"Chen~"

Fang Congzhe was speechless for a moment.

"Your Majesty, these are important, but the current Liao affairs are even more important."

Seeing this, Liu Yishen stepped forward and said: "If the case of the Battle of Sarhu is so determined, then the Liao affairs will bear the brunt of the impact. Not long ago, various departments in the Liao region submitted memorials to the court many times, stating clearly. There was a shortage of food under Liao's rule, and people's hearts were unstable. Many border guard camps and schools were in danger of mutiny, and in some guard posts under the rule of Zhu Bing Beidao, a large number of military households even fled.

Under such a critical situation, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, wanted to abolish Liao's salary and no longer apportion Liao's salary from next year. The ministers were not opposed to this matter because of their private thoughts. In fact, this memorial was too It's out of season. "

"so what?"

Zhu Youxiao asked back: "The food shortage under the Liao Dynasty, the popular feeling, and the near mutiny of many border guard camps and schools, was it caused by Yuan Qing's responsibility?

A large number of military households fled from the garrison under the rule of the Liao Army Bei Dao. Was it due to Yuan Qing's responsibility?

Bi Ziyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is worried about the country and the people. He wants to reduce the burden and please cut the Liao salary. Are these all inappropriate reasons that the ministers can find?

Those officials in the Liao Dynasty had official salaries and were eating royal food. They knew clearly that the Liao Dynasty was critical, but why did they do nothing?Isn’t this something that the cabinet should think deeply about? "

Liao land is short of food?

That was a big joke!
Not to mention that Zhu Youxiao knew some of the actual situation, but Cao Huachun, who secretly went to Liao to meet Xiong Tingbi, and presented his knowledge of Liao after returning to Beijing, gave Zhu Youxiao a thorough understanding of Liao.

The group of eunuchs stationed in Liao who were recalled to the capital by the imperial edict, after being interrogated by the imperial court, found out that they had done all kinds of things they had done when they were sent to Liao. They stole and sold arms, resold military rations, and set up miscellaneous taxes. They all relied on their status in the inner court to work in Liao. The Liao people colluded with the officials or generals and made a lot of money. Most of the guarding eunuchs secretly escorted the looted money into the customs to purchase land in the northern Zhili territory.

What is the easiest money to make?
It’s his mother’s national treasure!

There is so much food hidden in Shenyang and Liaoyang alone.Why?

The border guards are all gathered here!
While creating an atmosphere of food shortage and taking the opportunity to drive up food prices, they also add adulteration to it, bribe officials or generals, and the profits they make from both inside and outside are unimaginable!
And the most elusive thing is who is standing behind the merchants gathering in Liaoning. This is something that cannot be verified.

Under the Ming Dynasty, there were simply too many ungrateful people.

"Why didn't you speak?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Youxiao thought of this and said in a deep voice: "Don't tell me anything inappropriate or about paying attention to the influence, what? Yang Hao has been an official for so long and has many disciples and former officials. He has made mistakes, and the country Can't the government punish him?

The Li family has an extraordinary reputation in Liao. There are many Liao generals who are inextricably linked to the Li family. If they make mistakes, the government cannot punish them?
There is no such truth in the world.

Yuan Qing is right, merit is merit, fault is fault. If the two can be confused, then what is the use of laws and disciplines?I think the characterization of the Battle of Saarhu case is very good, great! ! "

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yuan Keli stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Guozuo only hesitated for a moment and agreed.

On the other hand, Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Han Xu showed different expressions, and it was clear that they had a lot on their minds.

"Since the case of the Battle of Salhu has been determined, let's handle it in accordance with the law and discipline."

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "The crime committed by the guilty minister Yang Hao cannot be tolerated by heaven. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate the resentment of thousands of dead souls. He will be executed at noon the day after tomorrow in the West City. Guards in brocade clothes arrested three Yang Hao clans and confiscated their property. The three clans were sent to the Imperial Manor to perform corvee service, but they were not pardoned! The Li family had betrayed the divine grace and wanted to pursue Earl Ningyuan..."

Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Han Xu changed their expressions upon hearing this. With this, the case of the Battle of Saarhu has been concluded. I am afraid that the follow-up will cause quite a disturbance.

But is Zhu Youxiao afraid of this?

Don't be afraid!
Liaodong is considered to be completely bad. Even if it is worse, how bad can it be?
It has only been a few months since the Liaozuo battle was completed. If we can win that battle, everything will be fine. At that time, we will carry out a wave of liquidation against Liaodong with the power of victory. We will arrest whoever is found. As long as we can kill Jianlu's power makes it easier to rectify Liaodong. If defeated, all the fat accumulated under Liaodong's rule will be eaten by Jianlu.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Li Chengliang was an egoist whose excesses outweighed his merits. He raised wolves and raised prisoners, and by the way promoted a group of Liao people and made them unite in Liao. From the perspective of the country, , simply intolerable.

Yes.

Knowing that that battle was coming, why didn't you choose to wait for a few months, at least wait until the battle was over, then finalize the battle of Saarhu, and then take advantage of the situation to pursue the Earl of the Li family?
It's not that Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear it, but he just wanted to spread the news to Liao Dynasty. If he didn't spread the news, the group of liaison builders hiding in the dark would not be able to find out at all.

Regarding the secret report submitted by Xiong Tingbi on the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he had secretly investigated in Liao for a long time, but there were not many valuable clues at all, let alone catching big fish.

Zhu Youxiao knew that there were general forces in Liao, but apart from one ancestral family, it was impossible to verify who the others were, which ones simply wanted to make money for the country, and which ones secretly colluded with the rebels.

And the current ancestor family may have some problems, but it has not yet reached the stage of complete deterioration. Is it possible to arrest them all like this?What would each of the Liao generals who were related to the ancestral family think?
The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to use this killing to stimulate the Liao Territory, so that Xiong Tingbi could find out something in the Liao Territory, and it was best to capture a group of monsters and monsters.

Regarding the battle of Liaozuo, Zhu Youxiao had planned a lot, and was even mentally prepared for a tragic victory. As long as the important passes of Liaozuo were not lost, some of the strategic initiative lost by the Ming Dynasty could be regained.
