Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 534 Qi Jin takes command
Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone else how much mess the Ming Dynasty he inherited is in. Behind the seemingly stable situation, there are actually too many turbulences hidden behind it!
The endless turmoil in the central court, coupled with the frequent border troubles on the northern border, caused many people's attention to not focus on the local area, but Zhu Youxiao never relaxed.

Ever since it was clear that Tianjin was open to trade and allowed Western merchants to dock, Zhu Youxiao has been solving a problem, that is, the hidden dispute between the north and the south in the Ming Dynasty!

This situation can be said to have persisted throughout the Ming Dynasty. Even if the situation has changed countless times, some essences will not change.

Interests, I don’t know how many people’s hearts are tied up!

When banditry broke out in Lianghuai, the reason why Zhu Youxiao asked Zhu Youjian and others to come was because he wanted them to know what the real Ming Dynasty was like.

This is not what it says.

It can't be seen through memorials.

The real Ming Dynasty is far more complicated than what the world thinks. Under the seemingly unified centralized power model, there are actually many differences underneath.

between the center and local areas.

Between places.

Even between the Han people and other ethnic groups.

If Zhu Youxiao wants to reverse the Ming Dynasty and realize the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty again, he will have to solve many problems. This is no different from conquering the world again, and it is even harder than overthrowing and rebuilding!

"Your Majesty, I believe that the imperial court must make its attitude clear regarding the rebellion between the Huaihe River and Huaihe Rivers."

When he saw Zhu Youjian and others walking into the palace from the corner of his eye, Wang Xiangqian thought for a moment, bowed to the emperor and said, "I think it is necessary to send a special imperial envoy to the Huaihe River to take charge of the overall situation."

“There’s no need to go to such trouble!!”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Isn't there a bandit rebellion in the Huaihe River? Okay, then I will send a large army to clean it up. The court will definitely not let it go until this matter is resolved!"

Things are getting serious.

Wang Xiangqian was worried. The scene he least wanted to see had happened. If the news really spread, it would cause quite a stir among the government and the public.

After all, Lianghuai involves too many places.

"Your Majesty, the current Jianlu rebellion and the chieftain rebellion are not over yet."

Wang Xiang bowed and bowed before saying: "Moreover, there are large armies stationed in Shandong and even on the nine sides. If we send out large armies to suppress it again, not to mention how heavy the burden will be on the court, the key is the central government..."

"The Qing family doesn't have to worry about this."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I am determined to let Qi Jin take command, personally lead 25,000 military camp elites, and control the Xunwei, and go to the Huaihe River to be responsible for suppressing the bandits."

"During the period of the army's suppression of bandits, the Shaofu will be responsible for all food and salary expenses. We have departments in Tianjin and Denglai to cooperate with sea transportation. I want to see what kind of storm the two Huaihe Rivers can cause!!"

No matter what kind of calculation is behind the Lianghuai bandits, Zhu Youxiao's attitude is clear. If anyone dares to incite riots in the local area, as long as they are caught, it will not be as simple as beheading, including their nine tribes. All of them must be arrested.

Since Zhu Youxiao Yuji came to the throne, he has been focusing on the northern provinces, and even more often, he is building the basic base of Beizhili.

The reason for doing this.

It was because Zhu Youxiao knew that the southeastern provinces on which the Ming Dynasty relied heavily had too many minefields hidden under their rule. Instead of touching them too early and causing all kinds of problems to explode, it would be better to focus on stability first and give it to the court. Let’s create a new area for ourselves that we can rely on.

In this way, even if the southeastern provinces are to be purged in the future, causing local unrest, it will not be said that the situation is completely chaotic.

Even now, Zhu Youxiao's idea has not changed. The southeastern provinces were not just cleaned.

After all, frequent disasters have done too much harm to Ming Dynasty, and the basic base of Beizhili he planned is still in the stage of taking root and development. If he chooses to completely break up at this time, it will be a great loss to Ming Dynasty.

But not cleaning it means that Zhu Youxiao is willing to accept something.

If anyone dares to destroy the stability at a large level, Zhu Youxiao will definitely intervene.

The military reform that has always been concentrated in the central area is what Zhu Youxiao did to deal with this situation. Without a strong army to rely on, how can the central authority's majesty deter all parties?

"You all heard about the bandit turmoil in the Huaihe River just now."

After Wang Xiangqian and others left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian and the others and said calmly: "In the past two days, write down for me the causes and consequences of this matter and what you think in your heart."

"Also, I condemned Qi Jin to lead his troops to the Huaihe River to suppress the bandits. I wrote down all the possible incidents one by one. I attach great importance to this examination."

"Here!"

Everyone bowed in response.

To govern the Ming Dynasty, which has such complicated national conditions, it is not enough to rely on Zhu Youxiao alone. After all, one person's energy is limited, and mistakes will occur if he is not careful.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao needs many people to assist him.

These people include civil servants, military generals, and the Zhu family!

At least in Zhu Youxiao's view, in some fields, Minister Wang cannot be absent. The past system has reached the point where it must be reformed.

Relying on civil servants for everything is not a good sign.

If there are no policies that harm their interests, then everything is easy to say.

But once corresponding policies are introduced and damage even a part of the interests, there will be many counterattacks and calculations, and Ming Dynasty can no longer withstand this kind of internal friction! !
Emphasizing literature over military affairs, emphasizing military affairs over literature, is not a long-term solution.

Only the combination of civil and military forces can solve the actual problem.

Before Zhu Youjian and the others left, Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "Send someone to summon Qi Jin to the palace. I want to discuss with him the matter of suppressing bandits in the Huaihe River."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Liu Ruoyu immediately bowed in response.

A new incident is about to happen again.

When Zhu Youjian and Zhu Changzi heard this, they all had complicated emotions in their hearts. They also did not expect that such a change would occur in such a great event as the Golden Palace Chuanlu.

Why does Daming have so many problems?
At this moment, Zhu Youjian and the others all had an idea. For some reason, they always felt that many things had changed since Tianqi came two years ago.

But before that, the court had obviously solved many problems, so why do these things still happen?
"There is still a long way to go."

And Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Zhu Youjian and the others' leaving, and felt deep in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh secretly: "On the way forward, if there are any challenges or disturbances, we will not be able to effectively deal with them." If it is solved, the Ming Dynasty will fall apart right before our eyes!!"
