Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 479: You hit yours, I’ll hit mine

Qianqing Palace.

Dong Nuan Pavilion.

"The Emergency Cleaning Department has been established. I can feel a little more at ease regarding matters related to disasters in the future."

After reading the memorial submitted by Lian Guoshi, Zhu Youxiao showed a knowing smile, "I really read you right. After all, I am worried about the state of the country. One is emergency, the other is disaster relief. First, we must stabilize the northern Xinjiang provinces. You can’t go wrong with the development of Ming Dynasty!”

The frequent natural disasters during the Little Ice Age were an important factor that Zhu Youxiao had to consider. If disaster relief and relief work for the people could not be settled, it would mean that the reservoir he built would always have holes and leaks. In this way No matter how much water is put in, it will not be able to promote the fish farming plan.

"Draw up some decrees!"

Following Zhu Youxiao's order, Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, hurriedly walked towards one place with his head lowered.

"The Shaofu has issued an edict to establish the Emergency Cleaning Department. It is specially promoted to have the title of Minister of State Affairs and is in charge. The Secretary will select a site as soon as possible to build the headquarters of the Emergency Cleaning Department. A million dollars of internal funds will be allocated to temporarily use it for emergency response. If necessary, all matters related to disasters in the future will be handled by the emergency and disaster relief departments."

Zhu Youxiao put down the memorial he was holding, spoke out what was on his mind, emphasized the emergency status in the name of Zhongzhi, and let the officials in the Shaofu know the importance of the department, which would alleviate a lot of trouble.

After reading what he wrote, he polished it according to his own ideas, Zhu You proofread Liu Ruoyu and said.

Liu Ruoyu held these edicts in his hands and immediately bowed his head.

"Send a message to the Ministry of War. From now on, if anything involves local disasters, if you come to Beijing by express delivery, you must make a copy and forward it to the Emergency Cleaning Department!"

Under the system of Foreign Affairs Bureau, a new corresponding system has been specially designed. The only advantage is that the selectivity has increased and the work efficiency has increased.

"I have issued a decree to my uncle. In the future, the Emergency Cleaning Department will need to stockpile grain, cloth, cotton, medicinal materials, etc., and the convenience community will also step up fundraising."

In the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to find three-legged toads, but there are many people who want to be officials!

The decrees have been made clear, which means that the government office headed by the Shaofu must step up their implementation after knowing these matters.

The ad hoc government agencies such as the Shaofu, Liangshufang, and the Military Academy may have been controversial and criticized at first. However, as time went by, the number of things handled continued to increase, and some matters began to bear fruit. This also led to The scale of the above-mentioned systems is constantly increasing.

No matter what its nature is or whether it has overlapping powers, let’s get things done first. As for adjustments, that is something to consider in the future.

"In addition, we will train state affairs and select officials as soon as possible. According to the specifications of the Disaster Relief and Cleaning Department, we will also dispatch an emergency branch to Hanzhong and put it under Sun Chuanting's command..."

Black cat or white cat, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat!

"Use Xi Mingfa."

Even if some people are unwilling to do things according to the imperial edict, Zhu Youxiao can still find others to do it, so that the imperial power is not constrained at all. As long as the internal funds can remain sufficient and there is no need to use money from the national treasury to do things, then Zhu Youxiao does not need to look at it. Anyone's face.

"Here!"

Zhu Youxiao felt much better after one of the things he cared about the most was resolved. However, when he saw the memorial involving public opinion, Zhu Youxiao frowned.

"It's just the same arguments that have been repeated over and over again. There really is nothing new at all."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions and looked at the situation involving the dispute over the new ceremony, showing a touch of disdain, "This is not supporting Yan Shenggong's lineage. This is clearly an excuse to ensure your own safety." The interests will not be damaged." "Your Majesty, Wang Xiangqian, a scholar of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of War, wants to see you. Liaodong reports urgently!"

Just when Zhu Youxiao was about to call someone and ask the ministers from the South Study Room to come over and clarify the response to the current public opinion, the eunuch on duty outside the palace bowed his head and walked in.

"Xuan."

Knowing that it was a matter involving Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate. However, what puzzled Zhu Youxiao was that there was a matter involving Liaodong. Why did no one from the Military Academy come?

After all, all matters related to the establishment of captives and the suppression of rebellion were transferred to the Military Affairs Council.

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the Military Academy are asking for an audience. Liaodong is urgently reporting!"

Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking about this, Wang Xiangqian just walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and then another round of eunuchs came in to report. This made Zhu Youxiao certain that something big had happened in Liaodong! !

The atmosphere in Dongnuan Pavilion quietly changed.

After learning about the corresponding situation one after another, Zhu Youxiao knew the reason why the Ministry of War was the first to know, and the planned restructuring of Ekiden in the past has begun to bear fruit.

Zhu Youxiao was happy about this matter.

The success of the reform of Eikden means that the backward and decadent Eikden can be reformed under the leadership of the Ministry of War, which will bring about a lot of changes.

Having a balance is secondary.

What really worries Zhu Youxiao is that the Yi Chuan system can be reborn, which means that the central government's control over various places will be invisibly strengthened!

From the perspective of a ruler, it is extremely important to be able to transmit many matters involving important military and political affairs from up to down in all directions!

"This Jianlu is really interesting."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions and looked around at the ministers gathered in front of the emperor. "Last year, we failed to invade Liaozuo. We were severely defeated by our Ming Dynasty, which caused many problems within and around it."

"It didn't take long for them to forget about the pain. They wanted to invade the Liaodong border area through the surface, and then plunder North Korea. This wishful thinking was really good, but they never expected that my Ming Dynasty had already developed within them. It’s hidden.”

Hidden stakes?

After hearing this, Wang Xiangqian had doubts in his heart. This urgent report sent to Beijing via the Liaodong Governor's Mansion did not involve these matters.

"Your Majesty, judging from the situation of Liaodong's express delivery back to Beijing, Jianlu can no longer sit still."

When Wang Xiangqian was confused, Wei Guangxu stepped forward and bowed: "Although the Eight Banners under Jianlu are indeed brave, it is more difficult to completely suppress them through a battle and make them surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

"But this also exposes the fatal flaw of Jianlu's small population. I think that Jianlu's actions this time will only damage the relationship between Ming Dynasty and North Korea. The most important thing is still to plunder the population, and even want to invade North Korea. Territory, after all, Jianzhou Sanwei, which was stolen by Jianlu, is vast and sparsely populated. Even compared with Liaodong, it is only a little bit behind."

"Xiong Tingbi also means the same thing."

Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Since Jianlu wants to fight this battle, then I, Daming, will accompany me to the end. It just so happens that the new army formed in Liaodong will also take advantage of the opportunity to experience the baptism of war. No matter how well the new soldiers are drilled, they can still If you have never seen blood or killed someone on the battlefield, you cannot be called a strong soldier. The Ming Dynasty has no shortage of new soldiers, but it lacks strong soldiers."

"When the fierce soldiers in Liaodong reach a certain scale, no matter how brave and skilled the Eight Banners under Jianlu's jurisdiction are, they will never be my match against the great Ming Dynasty warriors!"
