Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 143 The Queen Is Sick
It is precisely because of this that many officials in the Ming Dynasty do not approve of fighting Jiannu, and they do not think that the Ming army has the strength to defeat Jiannu, so instead of wasting money and people, they allocate so much military salary to Liaodong every year to support the army and Jiannu To fight, it is better to retreat to Shanhaiguan, or simply negotiate peace with Jiannu. Among the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, there were not many officials with backbone!
Although the Ming army during the Battle of Saarhu was not considered strong, it was much stronger than it is today in terms of military strength, financial resources and combat effectiveness. After all, it had experienced the three major Wanli campaigns, and the Ming army at that time was The army has sufficient combat experience. Unlike the Ming army today, due to serious corruption problems, it may be a problem to even gather sufficient troops. There are even fewer armies with real combat effectiveness.

At that time, the Ming army united with the Korean army and assembled an army of more than 40 people. They still failed to defeat the newly rising Jiannu. Not to mention that Jiannu was now powerful. In a situation where the Ming army could only defend passively, it was difficult to defeat the Jiannu. Establishing slaves and regaining the Liao territory is almost impossible for the current Ming Dynasty.

And even if the Ming Dynasty can do it one day, the king who leads the Ming Dynasty to defeat Jiannu and regain the Liao territory cannot be the current emperor.

This is the attitude and view of hundreds of officials in the DPRK on this matter. It is not that they look down on Zhu Tianqi, but they cannot understand what Zhu Tianqi has been doing over the past year. What is the essence of "strong country" and "strong army"? significance!
In addition to the tax and labor reform and the new tax law, they just focused on spending money for disaster relief. Tens of millions of taels of silver have been invested in disaster relief alone. In the eyes of hundreds of officials, this money is simply wasted.

If you want to change the way to make money, then in the eyes of all the officials, the emperor still has some means, but the emperor got the money, but he didn't use the money in the right place. Indeed, disaster relief is also a serious matter. It can be understood that the emperor is He really loves the people like his own children, but can he defeat the Jiannu just by loving his people like his own children?Are you going to "move" them all to death?

To this day, the officials have not seen any achievements made by Zhu Tianqi in the military construction of Daming, nor have they seen him take any meaningful measures to deal with Jiannu and regain Liaodong.

In terms of military affairs and the Liaodong issue, the emperor only did two things:

One is to send Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan to supervise Jiliao. However, sending them there can only guarantee that the existing Guanningjin defense line can be defended. If we really want to recover Liaodong, I am afraid we will not know how long it will take. When did you go?

Moreover, it has been a year since Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan went to Liaodong, but they have not yet fought a battle with Jiannu, and people in the court have long been gossiping about them.

The second can only be Sun Yuanhua. Last year, Sun Yuanhua went to Haojingao to purchase a hundred Hongyi cannons and brought back more than 100 Thai and Western people. Acceptable, but very repulsive to these Thais.

Therefore, whether Zhu Tianqi asked Sun Yuanhua to take these Taixi people to the Shaanxi Chief Envoy to build a cannon foundry to cast artillery, or whether Zhu Tianqi recently mobilized troops and asked Sun Yuanhua to organize and train new armies, in the eyes of the officials in the DPRK It's all unreliable, and it can even be said to be a game.

The above are what the current emperor has done this year. A lot of money has been spent, but does it have any substantive significance to the national power and military strength of the Ming Dynasty?Relying on these things, can we defeat the Jiannu and recover Liaodong?

This is not bragging what is it?
Zhu Tianqi didn't expect that these shameless people were still laughing at him for bragging behind his back, but he didn't have time to care about it. After leaving the court, Wang Yuanbao whispered to him: "Your Majesty, Kunning Someone from the palace reported that the Queen seems to be ill!"

When Zhu Tianqi heard this, he suddenly became a little nervous, but he was still calm on the surface. While ordering the dragon chariot to go to Kunning Palace quickly, he asked Wang Yuanbao: "Has the imperial doctor passed?"

Wang Yuanbao trotted to follow the dragon chariot and replied: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, we have already asked the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment!"

As soon as Long Nian arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace, Zhu Tianqi turned over and jumped off before he could stabilize himself. He quickly walked into the palace and walked straight to Zhang Yan's bed.Zhang Yan was naturally a little surprised when she saw Zhu Tianqi, but then she looked relieved and looked at Zhu Tianqi with a look in her eyes, but she seemed to be too excited and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhu Tianqi's face was full of worry and nervousness. He leaned over and asked, "Queen, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" After asking this question, before Zhang Yan could answer, he turned to look at the imperial doctor beside him.

But this time, before he could ask, Zhang Yan suddenly hugged his neck and hugged him tightly, and Zhu Tianqi even heard Zhang Yan's sobbing in his ears.

This really frightened Zhu Tianqi, and a series of terrifying thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

However, at this moment, the imperial physician beside him suddenly shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Empress!"

Then the eunuchs and maids in the palace congratulated in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Congratulations, Empress!"

Zhu Tianqi was slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, and then instantly understood the smell. He has seen this kind of scene a lot in TV dramas, but it happened to him, which made him feel a little unbelievable, and couldn't help but lighten He gently pushed Zhang Yan away, held Zhang Yan's shoulders, and asked, "Yan'er, is it true?"

Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Tianqi tenderly, although there was a smile on his face, the tears seemed unstoppable, and he nodded, "It's true..."

Zhu Tianqi's face finally showed a look of joy. He hugged Zhang Yan tightly in excitement. Then he realized that his behavior seemed too rough, and he quickly relaxed his arms, which seemed a little too cautious. .

Now that the new year is approaching, Zhang Yan is pregnant again, so the joy in the palace this year is a bit stronger than in previous years, and Zhu Tianqi's various plans are progressing very smoothly, whether it is internal money or the national treasury. They are all very wealthy, so this year will naturally be as lively as possible.

Maybe it was influenced by the previous Gongdou dramas, or maybe it was because Zhu Tianqi was too happy to be a father for the first time and was a little at a loss. In the first period of time, Zhu Tianqi's care for Zhang Yan reached a kind of To an incredible extent.

He first asked Zhang Yan to move to Qianqing Palace, and then asked Zhu Youjian to send a lot of royal guards to guard the surroundings of Qianqing Palace. He also strictly inspected the food supply of Qianqing Palace.

And he himself is always by Zhang Yan's side. In the past, he would often buy some cosmetics and clothes for Zhang Yan in the Krypton store. Now that Zhang Yan is pregnant, the cosmetics can no longer be used, so Zhu Tianqi began to desperately buy supplements.
