Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 394 Emergency Report from Kawachi

Entering October, the capital has quietly turned colder, and the rain has gradually increased. A light rain has been falling for several days, making people feel very dry.

"The rain is really unpleasant."

In Dongnuan Pavilion, on the Luohan bed next to the window, Zhu Youxiao looked at the light rain outside the window, "If it rains, just be more quick. It's raining like this, and I don't know when it will stop."

"Your Majesty is right."

Wei Zhongxian, who was waiting on the side, heard this, smiled, picked up the tea cup, handed it to Zhu Youxiao and said: "The next day of fun is far better than such procrastination."

"Speaking of which, Liaodong is probably colder than the capital right now."

Zhu Youxiao took the cup of tea and thought of the affairs in Liaodong. He frowned and said: "The governor-general of Liaodong has urgently delivered the military supplies report to Beijing. How are the arrangements made by the young master? Everything else is easy to talk about, except for the cotton-padded jackets and jackets. We can’t delay it for too long, because it will be even colder in Liaodong in a while.”

"Your Majesty, someone from the Young Mansion is stepping up preparations."

Wei Zhongxian bowed his head slightly and said: "By the middle of this month at the latest, the urgently needed 3 sets of cotton-padded clothes and jackets will be shipped from Tianjin to Liaoning. A company has signed a good contract with the Tianjin Thirteenth Bank. If it cannot be shipped on time, the gold State Guards, or if there is an accident on the way, Tianjin Thirteenth Bank will pay the full compensation.”

"Ah."

Zhu Youxiao responded and then took a sip of tea.

It took some time for Wei Zhongxian to return to Beijing from Liaodi, but not many people knew about his return to Beijing, and no one knew who else returned to Beijing with Wei Zhongxian.

The reason why it has been delayed until now is Zhu Youxiao's intention. In addition to solving some things, he also wanted to see whether the local power structure in Liaodong was established as scheduled.

As the power of the governor was clarified, Xiong Tingbi became governor of Liaodong, with his office in Shenyang City. Hong Chengchou became governor of Liaodong, with his office in Guangning City. Liu Hongxun took over as the governor of Liaodong, and his office was in Liaoyang City. , the local structure surrounding Liaodong has stabilized.

The most important point is that the corresponding powers related to military mobilization are all in the hands of the Governor of Liaodong. No one can intervene in matters like before, causing everyone to push the blame for their own interests when encountering urgent military affairs.

In order to avoid the self-respect of the troops, He Shixian, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was promoted to admiral of Liaodong. He was responsible for the training and management of Liaodong, and was responsible for military and administrative matters. However, he was not responsible for large-scale military conquests and other powers...

Since this brand-new model appeared for the first time in Ming Dynasty, there were many issues to be solved. During this period, Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengchou were busy.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, this model has not yet achieved the reform he expected. There is still a big gap between the real civil and military separation. However, food must be eaten one bite at a time, and no one can eat it in one bite. Eat to become fat, some things cannot be solved in a hurry.

Implementing every step steadily, as the pace of military reform continues to move forward, and as the combat power of the Ming Dynasty army continues to increase, Zhu Youxiao believes that the new model he hopes for will eventually take root effectively in the Ming Dynasty.

As the various positions in Liaodong were gradually clarified, the positions involving the Governor of Northern Zhili and the Governor of Northern Zhili were also quietly implemented. This period also included the adjustment of the garrison in the capital and the capital, although many people in the DPRK and China still criticized it. However, there were so many things happening in the court that the popularity of this matter has not been high.

Sometimes the many messes left behind and the various problems exposed have actually served as a good cover for Zhu Youxiao's plans.

This made Zhu Youxiao not sure whether to laugh or feel helpless.

"How have Zu Dashou and the others performed since they entered the capital?" Looking at the memorials piled up in front of him, Zhu Youxiao did not deal with them in a hurry, but asked Wei Zhongxian about the situation of the Liao generals who were summoned to the capital.

"Your Majesty, according to the situation found in Dongchangchangchang, they don't have many complaints." Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes and bowed his head hurriedly.

"Every day at the beginning of the morning, we rushed to the Fourth Guard Camp to observe the exercises, and we left the camp at Xu time. In the first few days, some people were very anxious, but after seeing the many drills in the Fourth Guard Camp, everyone calmed down. Even after leaving the station and returning to Guanyi, we were still discussing the training of the Fourth Guards Battalion."

"Continue to observe."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, stretched out his hand and said, "If anyone comes looking for them during this period, Dongchang must report it to the emperor in time."

"promise!"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed and responded.

Wei Zhongxian stayed in western Liaoning for a long time. In addition to watching the local restructuring in Liaodong and reporting the situation to Beijing in a timely manner, another task was to select Liao generals.

Although the current Liaodong generals' influence is said to have considerable influence in Liao, it has not expanded to the point of being uncontrollable, especially those such as Zu Dashou's Zu family, Wu Xiang's Wu family, etc. Currently, among this so-called force, They are still hovering on the edge. There are some that are influential, but not many.

Their influence really became stronger, and they could even command the entire Liaodong generals. As the situation in Liao continued to deteriorate, the Ming Dynasty continued to lose elites in Liao. During this period, they also spent a lot of money, especially the creation of Guan Ning's cavalry. , Wu Xiang and others only came into being after the rise of the army.

If you want to properly deal with the general forces in Liaodong, you cannot kill them all with one blow. You must separate the old and new factions so that the impact on Liaodong can be minimized when dealing with them.

The group of Liao generals who were summoned to the capital now were, without exception, all members of the new faction, and the representatives among them were Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang.

Zhu Youxiao has not yet figured out how to deal with these people. Even if he wants to deal with them, he must wait until the old faction in Liao is uprooted, otherwise irreversible losses may be caused.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

Just as Zhu Youxiao was preparing to handle the affairs of the court, a rapid drum beat came from the Meridian Gate, which made Wei Zhongxian's face change slightly.

Is there a Meridian Gate knocking que again? !

When Wei Zhongxian was surprised and suspicious, when he heard the rhythm of the drum beating carefully, Wei Zhongxian knew that the drum beating at the Meridian Gate was different, and there was something else besides knocking on the drum.

Eight hundred miles urgent?

Zhu Youxiao frowned. Hearing the sound of drums coming from outside the palace, he immediately knew what was going on. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao thought of Sichuan! !

"Report!! Expedited in Sichuan eight hundred miles!!"

Han Zanzhou walked quickly from outside the palace, went to the imperial court and bowed in obeisance: "The Shizhu Xuanwei Envoy sent an urgent report from Sichuan that the Yongning Xuanfu Division and the Shuixi Xuanwei Division were plotting a rebellion..."

How is this possible! !

Wei Zhongxian, who was serving in front of the emperor, changed his face slightly and looked at Han Zanzhou in disbelief. Why did the chieftains from Sichuan and Guizhou rebel?

Compared with Wei Zhongxian's disbelief, Zhu Youxiao's expression was calm, but his heart was solemn. The situation of the southwest chieftain's rebellion seemed to be changing! !
