Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 401 Huang Mingzong Army

"His Majesty!!"

"His Majesty!!"

Facing the gazes from everyone, Zhu Youxiao stood up from the dragon chair, stepped on Danbi, and walked towards the outside of the palace with his head held high. At that time, a group of brave guards rushed in from outside the palace.

They are so young.

They are so determined.

They are so fearless!

"Stop!!"

Cao Bianjiao, who led his troops to the main hall, shouted sharply at this moment. The Yanling knife in his hand drooped, and his sharp eyes scanned the sects and vassals standing in the hall.

"His Majesty!!"

As Zhu Youxiao walked forward, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly raised his fists and saluted, with the blade facing inward. Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cao Bianjiao and showed a faint smile. When he came to Cao Bianjiao's side, he reached out and patted Cao Bianjiao's shoulder, and then waved his robe. Sleeve, left this majestic hall.

"His Majesty's word!"

The moment Zhu Youxiao left the hall, Wei Zhongxian, who was standing in front of the emperor, said in a sonorous tone: "Come into the palace and listen to the training of the vassals!!"

This……

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, who were deeply shocked by the scenes in front of them, looked at each other instinctively. They did not expect that the emperor would make such a big noise.

at that time.

The Tang, Jin and other sects and vassal clans gathered in the main hall had their hearts beat faster. Many people were afraid, and no one dared to move.

"Your Highness, Fifth Highness, Your Highness Changshou, the Emperor has said that you should follow the servants to Dongnuan Pavilion." Under this situation, Liu Ruoyu bowed his head and stepped forward, bowing to Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian.

"Hmm~"

At this moment, both Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian felt the imperial authority. Under the gaze of countless eyes, they followed Liu Ruoyu and walked out of the palace.

Everything behind them seemed far away from them.

……

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, looking at the memorials piled up in front of him, but he did not pick up the imperial reading. He was waiting for Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian to come over.

He is not only the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but also the emperor of the Zhu family!

In the past, many sects and clans had apparently almost forgotten this.

But it's okay.

He is different. The cancer of the Ming Dynasty clan will be eliminated in his hands and become a pearl of the Ming Dynasty. Everything has just begun.

"Brother, I pay my respects to my brother!"

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Looking at the two people walking into the hall, Zhu Youxiao did not look at them, but stretched out his hand and said: "Come over and sit down."

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and walked quickly towards the Luohan bed.

Everything seems to be the same as before.

Everything seems different again.

"Any ideas?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the two people sitting down and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, I have some concerns regarding the suspension of Zonglu's salary..."

"Then let's talk."

Looking at Zhu Yujian who was hesitant, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

"promise!"

Zhu Yujian first responded, and then frowned and said: "As for the princes, princes, and even generals who govern the country and generals who support the country in various vassal houses of the Ming Dynasty, whether they receive the ancestral salary issued by the court or not, in fact, for them The impact will not be big, after all, their families are very wealthy." "But for more lower-level clans, stopping the clan salary will undoubtedly deprive them of their only income. If the imperial court suppresses the rebellion for several years, then I am afraid there will be A lot of people are resentful.”

"Don't they, as members of the Ming Dynasty's clan, have to worry about the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youjian, who had grown up in the palace since childhood, frowned and expressed his confusion when he heard what Zhu Yujian said.

"They want it too."

Zhu Yujian glanced at Zhu Youjian and sighed softly: "But the feeling of being hungry is uncomfortable."

Hungry?

This time Zhu Youjian looked shocked.

How is this possible?

As a clan member of the Ming Dynasty, even if the inherited title is low, how can we go hungry?

"You're right about longevity."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said calmly: "The status of the clan can bring them superiority, but it also restricts them."

"Not to engage in politics, not to join the army, not to do business. These are the ancestral rules that they must follow. It is precisely because of this that many distant clan clans are not living a good life."

This is the difference in environment.

One grew up in the palace.

One grew up in the palace.

In this way, when encountering some problems, the angle and direction of considering the problem will inevitably be different, so royal education has a long way to go.

"What I just said about stopping Zonglu is targeted."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhu Yujian with an expression of approval, "Zonglu will be suspended for all titles above the general of the auxiliary state, and for titles below, Zonglu will be issued by the Zongren Mansion in the future, and the month will be changed to the year. , issued in one go.”

This is great! !

Zhu Yujian's eyes lit up. If this was really the case, then the lower-level clans would be able to receive the full amount of the clan's salary.

In fact, the clan groups of the Ming Dynasty had a bright side and a gloomy side. Especially those groups from distant branches, even the clans they were supposed to receive, were all exploited in various ways.

When the Ministry of Household Affairs distributes the money to various places, some people will withhold part of the clan salary. When the local government transfers it to the princes of each domain, they will also withhold part of it. When the princes of each domain distribute it on behalf of the court, they will also withhold part of it and have no authority. Those low-level clans with no power will get some if they are lucky, but none if they are unlucky. If they can hold off, they will hold off. If they can't hold off any longer, they will give them to a few like beggars.

But Zhu Youxiao directly cut it off at the waist. The Zonglu issued in the future will directly clarify which ones will not be issued and which ones will be issued, and it will be done with great righteousness, so that no one can say anything.

"But brother Huang... If we really want to send out the goods from the clan mansion, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower." Zhu Youjian said at this moment: "After all, there are so many sects and clans in the Ming Dynasty, we can't just send them out in one place, right?"

"Of course not."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I am determined to select a group of brave men from the lower-level clans in various places in the name of the clan mansion to form the Emperor Ming clan army!"

"In the future, if the country is in trouble, our Ming Dynasty vassal clan will set an example. The Huang Ming Zong Army will all be involved in border troubles, rebellions, disaster relief, etc. As for the actual issue of Zonglu, it can be done by the Huang Ming Zong Army. "

"Of course the most important point is that in the future, if anyone from our Ming Dynasty vassal family dares to violate the teachings of Huang Ming's ancestors, it will not be as simple as paying the penalty. The Huang Ming Zong's army will punish them according to the instructions of Huang Ming's ancestors!!"

this! ! !

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian were all surprised when they heard this. They had never expected that the emperor would set up a special army of Emperor Mingzong.

After discussing crime and Zongxue, Zhu Youxiao's third killer weapon also came out with the current special situation.

The Emperor Ming Zong Army, under the command of the Zong Renfu, only obeys the emperor's orders and cannot be mobilized without an edict. This will become another armed force that is absolutely loyal to the imperial power after the Royal Guards Dudufu and Zhuling Guards.

Moreover, the groups recruited by the Huangming Zongjun are limited to the lower-level clan groups of the Ming Dynasty, that is, those who are unlikely to inherit the imperial line. Even if a group of talented people emerge from those distant branches, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, it is impossible for them to betray the Ming Dynasty. , even if someone wants to make trouble, the probability of success is very low.

If it really happens, it can only mean that Ming Dynasty should change hands.

The initial size of the Huang Ming Zong Army is 30,000, which will allow the 30,000 lower-level clan families to live a better life. Whether to expand in the future will be determined based on the situation.

"I have ordered people to promulgate the central decree involving the vassal clan."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at the two of them and said, "What you have to do next is to take a good look and think carefully to see which parts of this Ming Dynasty are true and which are false."
