Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 36 It’s all my money!
If you want to intervene and check and balance the court, and control the internal conflicts of the party, you must clarify the relationship between the various parties and factions, grasp the interests and positions they represent, and know the delicate relationship between each other, especially the in-laws, disciples, former officials, and seats. Teachers, this is more common in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we be victorious in all battles.

Zhu Youxiao is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he cannot do these things well, he will not even think about governing the Ming Dynasty, let alone bring order to the chaos.

Supporting a faction, pulling a faction, suppressing a faction, and suppressing a faction will become one of the important means for Zhu Youxiao to control the court for a long time to come.

Don't they all like to fight?
OK!

Then let you fight, let you fight, gradually realize the replacement of old and new in the struggle, consolidate and increase the imperial power, and sweep some dross into the garbage dump of history.

Qianqing Palace.

Xinuang Pavilion.

"The calligraphy copied by the emperor is much better than mine."

Zhu Youxiao showed a smile on his face, looked at the big characters copied by Zhu Youjian, and praised without stinginess, "It seems that Huangming will have many virtuous kings in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your compliment."

Zhu Youjian lowered his head slightly and said.

Compared with the first time they met, Zhu Youjian behaved less reservedly in recent times, and he would smile in front of Zhu Youxiao from time to time.

This is how a young man should be.

Lively, active, love to laugh...

Zhu Youxiao didn't care what happened to the Forbidden City in the past.

But now the owner of the Forbidden City is him, everything will be according to his idea!
The reform of the vassal system in the Ming Dynasty began with the training of Zhu Youjian.

"My lord, Fang Zhenghua, who was ordered to leave the capital, presented a report to the emperor."

Outside the hall, Liu Ruoyu bowed respectfully and said.

"Present."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

Under Zhu Youjian's gaze, Liu Ruoyu, who was wearing a scarlet python robe, walked into the palace with his head bowed and his waist down. He held several memorials in his hands and walked towards his royal brother.

Zhu Youxiao picked up a memorial and read the contents above. Soon, these memorials were read by Zhu Youxiao.

"Prepare a few edicts and report to me that I know about it. To go to Shuntian and Yongping to recruit soldiers, you must do it quickly. If the errands are done well, there will be rewards, and if they fail, they will be punished."

"The slaves obey the order."

"A company has gone to Shandong and Henan to recruit troops. Has it been implemented yet?"

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the Supervisor of Ceremonies, everyone has left the capital for Shandong and Henan..."

Zhu Youxiao showed a faint smile, and the efficiency is quite fast. When the recruits from various places return to Beijing, the drills around the new army can start.

If you want to firmly grasp military power, you must have a group that can be driven.

Zhu Youxiao had high hopes for the army under the direct control of the Royal Guards' Office and the Royal Horse Guards. He wanted to spend a lot of money and food and then train a group of good soldiers.

Sufficient salary and enough food can effectively implement these two items. Zhu Youxiao believes that the recruits recruited will grit their teeth and persevere even if they go through hard and tiring drills.

"Is there any news about those Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers?"

Zhu Youxiao restrained his mind, looked at Liu Ruoyu and said.

"There is no reply yet."

Liu Ruoyu told the truth truthfully.

"When there is news, submit it to the imperial court in time."

"The slaves obey the order."

Zhu Youxiao felt a little emotional that the transportation facilities in Ming Dynasty were too backward, and it would take a long time to promote many things.

If he wants to effectively intervene in Liao affairs and prevent the rebels from invading the left side of Liao, Zhu Youxiao must take these into consideration. The front line of Liaodong is more than a thousand miles away from the capital. If he wants to gradually put down the rebellion of the rebels, it is not as simple as dispatching troops, but more importantly, logistical support and supply. This is the most important thing.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, which allows Zhu Youxiao to make arrangements. Liaozuo cannot be lost no matter what, otherwise Liaodong will be in danger.

"Brother Emperor, are you recruiting troops to quell the rebellion?" Seeing Liu Ruoyu retreating, Zhu Youjian was a little nervous and looked up at Zhu Youxiao and said.

"How could it be so fast?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, "Those new recruits who want to transform into warriors who have never experienced drills or seen blood, how can they go to Liao to participate in the war."

Under Zhu Youxiao's overall vision, there is a high probability that it is impossible for the recruits recruited by the Imperial Guard Governor's Mansion and Yumajian to go to Liao to participate in the war, but the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers transferred to the capital can.

The reasons why soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang were transferred to the capital were to conduct pre-war training, to assist in training new soldiers, to provide adequate pay and food, and to intimidate the court.

The Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers who could shake Jianlu hard should not be kicked around in the Liao land like a football. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not know how to cherish a strong army, but Zhu Youxiao regarded it as a treasure!
"Brother Huang, is Jianlu really strong?"

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly and said, "Could it be stronger than my Ming army?"

"It's very strong."

Zhu Youzhan said with a smile: "But among our Ming army, there are also elite troops who can defeat them. This Jianlu rebellion is a threat to our Ming Dynasty, but it is also a turning point."

Zhu Youjian showed doubts, he didn't understand what brother Huang meant by turning around.

Outside the Xinuang Pavilion, Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tigan and his party walked in a hurry, with complex expressions on their brows.

"Slave Wei Zhongxian, pay homage to the emperor."

"Slave servant Wang Tiqian, pay homage to the emperor."

"Servant Li Yongzhen..."

There were several voices outside the hall, which made Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, and all the supervisors and supervisors came to the front of the imperial court. It seems that the review of the inner court's account has a clue.

"Have you checked everything out?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't leave Xinuange, sat on Luohan's bed, watched Wei Zhongxian and his party come in, while Zhu Youjian stood quietly aside.

Since Zhu Youjian is to be trained to become a virtuous king of the Ming Dynasty, to assist in promoting the reform of the suzerains and vassals, and to be a pioneer in moving overseas vassals in the future, then Zhu Youxiao will not let him read dead books.

"Thank you... Your Majesty, we have found out everything."

Wang Tiqian, who was kneeling on the ground to salute, glanced at Wei Zhongxian out of the corner of his eye, sweat broke out on his forehead, and said with anxiety: "The Supervisor of Ceremonies has collected everything, and I would like to ask the Emperor to take a look at it."

When he said this, Wang Tigan's heart beat faster.

In the past few days, the supervisor of ceremonies checked the accounts in the dark and in the daytime, and did not dare to slack off at all, but the more they checked, the more frightened they became, and the more they checked, the more frightened they became.

A thick pile of memorials was moved to Zhu Youxiao's side to make a short case.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the letters one by one, his face becoming more and more solemn. The atmosphere in Xinan Pavilion was very depressed, and Zhu Youjian could feel that his royal brother was very angry.

"How dare they!!!"

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Youxiao slammed the memorial angrily, and said with sharp eyes: "There are as many as [-]% of the Huangzhuang Huangdian under the jurisdiction of the inner court, and they haven't handed over the money to the inner court for several years. Do you think this is normal?

More than [-]% of the deported grains of silver were less than half of the previous ones. Do you think this is normal?

OK!

It's great. I really didn't expect that these guys would be so rampant. They would not only steal the money from the internal funds, but also go out of their way to make money from the internal funds. My eyes were opened! "
