Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 629: The Zong army marches westward
Frequent natural disasters in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are something Zhu Youxiao must take into consideration. Any drought, flood, snow disaster, earthquake, wind disaster... will have a serious impact on the affected areas, and a major disaster will be followed by a major epidemic. , if these disasters cannot be properly handled, there is a high probability that civil unrest will breed in the local area. Once it reaches a large scale, it will inevitably affect stability, which will seriously threaten Zhu Youxiao's overall plan!
Since Yu Ji ascended the throne, Zhu Youxiao has been very clear about what he has done. Everything is closely centered on the general tone of putting the center first and then the local areas, focusing on stabilizing the situation. During this period, he will clean up evil spirits and monsters at designated points and in batches, so as not to interfere with the local areas too early. Try not to interfere in places.

Because once intervention is chosen, corresponding policies must be formed. Otherwise, how will the local situation change?

But in this case, even if the policies transmitted from the central government to the local governments are really good, if someone in the middle has a twisted mind and misinterprets them, then good government will evolve into bad government, a bad government that eats people without spitting out their bones!
For this reason, Zhu Youxiao has been patient.

From Liaodong, to Beizhili, to Shandong, to Sichuan and Guizhou, to Henan... Regarding the above-mentioned places to intervene, there are two core points, either affected by rebellion or affected by disaster, Zhu Youxiao was there The central cadre is arbitrary, promoting and specializing a group of trustworthy pillars, and letting them hold important positions as local feudal officials. In this way, while intervening in the above-mentioned places, various clear policies can be implemented one by one. to promote implementation.

This is Zhu Youxiao's core concept of governing the Ming Dynasty.

Either we simply don’t interfere with the local government, or if we really choose to interfere, we must replace the local officials and let the local officialdom go through a cleansing process. Only in this way can places with a lot of messes be able to reduce fiscal tilt under the guidance of gradual policies. , step by step out of the quagmire.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the disaster in Shaanxi?"

In the Qianqing Palace late at night, Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the starry sky. Zhu Yujian glanced at Zhu Youjian who was walking with him, and said to Zhu Youxiao with concern on his face.

An earthquake occurred in Shaanxi, but anyone who knew something about the current situation felt worried in their hearts. After all, the situation facing the court was too urgent.

The war in Liaodong is still going on.

The war in Korea is also going on.

The battle between Sichuan and Gui is also going on.

In addition to the wars mentioned above, due to the impact of internal and external wars, food prices in many places have continued to increase. The key is that the situation in Huaihe, Zhejiang and other places is turbulent. If any chaos occurs during this period, it is very likely that It triggered a chain reaction, which in turn caused the court to fall into a passive situation.

"I'm worried about more than just Shaanxi."

Zhu Youxiao sighed softly, stared at the bright moon, and said in a low voice: "Li Qiyuan gave me a memorial, stating that the imperial court must resolve the earthquake in Shaanxi as soon as possible to appease the people, otherwise Shaanxi will be hit by a disaster. If there is any disturbance under the rule, it may lead to turmoil in the entire northwest frontier!"

"It won't be so serious, right?!"

Zhu Youjian said in disbelief: "Hasn't the imperial brother already made it clear about the matters involving disaster relief in Shaanxi? The Qing Dynasty Department of Disaster Relief and Emergency Response under the Young Mansion has dispatched personnel to Shaanxi urgently. Lu Zhaoxiong, the governor of Shaanxi, will assist in disaster relief, and Sun Chuanting will take office The governor of Yunyang is responsible for raising disaster relief food for Shaanxi from Huguang and other places."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yujian followed closely and said: "It is a good move to let Sun Chuanting be appointed as the governor of Yunyang. It will not only allow Hanzhong to develop better, but also further integrate the intersection of Jingxiang, Qinba and Qinba areas. The key point is that it can deter Huguang. After all, Qi Jin in Lianghuai still has to rush to Xingdu after going to South Zhili, and Chengtian Mansion, where Xingdu is located, is in the heart of Huguang. !”

In response to some recent changes in the court, Zhu Yujian, Zhu Youjian and others who were studying in Xinuang Pavilion were keenly aware of many differences after discussions and exchanges.

"The promotion and promotion of one person cannot affect the local situation. You still don't have a thorough understanding of some of the embarrassing things and people in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and his eyes became sharp, "Things cannot be accomplished by one person, especially those involving officialdom. Some people respond positively on the surface, but behind the scenes there are constraints and calculations, not to mention that there are also Choose to wait and see, choose to oppose the group, the root of everything lies in interests!”

"When it comes to other aspects, I can allow these phenomena to exist, but when it comes to war and disaster relief, I absolutely cannot accept it. I have thought about it and asked the Huang Mingzong Army in Beijing to go to Shaanxi and be responsible for maintaining disaster relief. Order, supervise all disaster relief matters, secondly, be responsible for transporting disaster relief food from Hanzhong from Shaanxi, thirdly, use this matter to temper them, and let the people of Huangming Zongjun take a good look at what the Ming Dynasty is like! "

"There are some bad voices in the Huangming Zongjun during this period. They are all from the blood of the Zhu family. Why should they have to live a hard life? Okay, this is someone who has an idea for the Royal Zongjun. I Let everyone in the Huang Ming Zong Army know that there are many people in Ming Dynasty who are more miserable than them!"

"Is their suffering not suffering?"

"Their grievances are not grievances?"

"In the Ming Dynasty, at least in the Apocalypse Dynasty, family background does not represent everything. If you want to live a good life and get everything you want, you have to give, instead of being like a talkative woman who only complains about the unfairness of fate. I will blame others! !" Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian suppressed their doubts. Look at me and I look at you, with complicated expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, are you worried that Shaanxi may be affected by the disaster? What kind of trouble will there really be?" Zhu Yujian hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Youxiao and said.

"Defenses can not do without!"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "There must be no chaos in the northwest border right now. If it is really chaos, then the imperial court will really be passive."

"Brother Emperor, if this is really the case, I'm afraid that Emperor Mingzong's army will not be able to support it, right?" Zhu Youjian heard this and expressed his worries.

"Every one of the people in the Huangming Zong Army has undergone rigorous training, but they have not been on the battlefield before. If there is really chaos in Shaanxi, I'm afraid they..."

"What about the new soldiers who went to Liaodong? What about the new soldiers who went to Sichuan and Guizhou?"

How could Zhu Youxiao not know what Zhu Youjian meant, so he interrupted directly: "Could it be that the lives of the people in the Huangming Zongjun are their lives, but the lives of other Ming Dynasty athletes who care about Sheji are not their lives? "

"If there is really trouble in Shaanxi, then Huang Mingzong's army will have to carry it for me. Even if many people really die, we can't retreat even one step!!"

"Since you have chosen to join the Emperor Mingzong Army, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for the country at any time. I will give them some privileges, and they must shoulder their responsibilities and burdens accordingly."

Your Majesty/Brother Huang is going to sharpen the Emperor Ming Zong’s army.

When Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian heard this, they all felt deep in their hearts. However, this period came much earlier than they expected.

"Your Majesty, who do you plan to let control the Emperor Ming Zong's army?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yujian looked at Zhu Youxiao again and said: "At the moment, there is no one in the Huangming Zong army who can take the lead, Chen..."

"Man Gui, deputy commander-in-chief of the fifth military camp!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a sonorous tone: "Don't think about going to the northwest. The Zongwei has been established, but it still needs to be well trained. Besides, after some things become clear, I still need you to shoulder the heavy responsibility."

"I understand."

Zhu Yujian immediately bowed in response.

Originally, Zhu Yujian was thinking about whether to go to Shaanxi with Emperor Mingzong's army. No matter what, the court encountered so many problems. As the son of the Zhu family, he always had to share the worries for the emperor and the country.

But Zhu Youxiao did not intend to let Zhu Yujian go to Shaanxi. This is not because Zhu Youxiao did not trust Zhu Yujian. If he really did not trust him, then Zhu Youxiao would not let Zhu Yujian study in the Forbidden City and let Zhu Yujian hold an important position in the Zongren Mansion. Let Zhu Yujian secretly take charge of Zongwei.

Those who studied next to Zhu Youxiao, including Zhu Youjian, will have to shoulder heavy responsibilities in the future. There are too many problems that Ming Dynasty needs to solve.

Some rely on the outward-facing humerus and femoral pillars, which is indeed possible.

But for some problems, you still have to rely on your own family to come forward.

Since Zhu Youxiao chose to train Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian, he never worried that they would have ideas they shouldn't have. As long as royal education is firmly in the hands of the emperor, even if outsiders really want to do something from it, it depends on Look how capable they are! !
