I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 201 Southern Gansu rebels
The next day.

Zhu Yijiong had breakfast and went to the imperial study room on time to hold a court meeting.

On weekdays, there are (small) umrah meetings held every day, just like clocking in to work in modern times.But the only people who came to the imperial study to attend court were the top leaders of the cabinet and various ministries.

Today is a rare occasion. Not only the six cabinet ministries, but also the Privy Council, the Arms Bureau, the Propaganda Department, the Third Law Department, and the newly established Honglu Temple, all the first and second leaders of each ministry are here.

There were 20 people in total. Fortunately, Emperor Zhu's imperial study room was spacious enough for these people to stand, but it was almost the same as in the early (big) dynasty.

Moreover, everyone's face was filled with excitement. Even Wang Li, who had the best Qi-nurturing skills, was looking happy at this moment.

Needless to say, these people should already know about the victory on the Western Front.

Of course it is.

Yesterday, Zhu Yijiong specifically asked the Privy Council to formulate a battle plan for attacking Luzhou and Yangzhou. Naturally, the Privy Council had to inform the cabinet ministries about this matter.

After all, the household department among the six cabinet departments was the money bag of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is the administrative funds of the imperial court or the war and military expenses of the Privy Council and the Ordnance Bureau, they all have to be paid by the Ministry of Revenue, and they all have to be accounted for.

Moreover, the victory on the Western Front and the defeat of Longkodo should be taken advantage of by the Propaganda Department.

As for the Sanfa Division, they came to court purely according to the rules.After all, this is a great victory on the Western Front, and it is a rare event for the whole country to celebrate together, so naturally we have to give His Majesty the honor to join in the fun.

As soon as the court meeting began, Wang Li took the lead and came forward. He immediately knelt down and saluted: "I congratulate Your Majesty on the great victory on the Western Front and the defeat of the Qing Dynasty on the Yangtze River. We, the Ming Dynasty, will drive out the Tartars and restore China is just around the corner."

"This all depends on your Majesty's martial virtues, obedience to God's will, and winning the hearts of the people, which is comparable to that of Taizu during his lifetime."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

This combination of fist and dragon fart was photographed, and Zhu Yi was directly compared with Lao Zhu hundreds of years ago.

I have to say that although it sounds a bit shameless, it does sound comfortable.

Who doesn’t like to hear good things?

With Wang Li taking the lead, the remaining 20 or so people in the imperial study instantly knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty's sage is comparable to Taizu, long live my emperor!"

The accompanying secretary who was on duty beside him quickly took notes and wrote down: The emperor's culture has become a martial virtue, all officials respect him, and the mountains shout long live.

He's even competing with the historian for his job!
Zhu Yijiong smiled slightly, maintaining the restraint that an emperor should have. He raised his empty hand and said: "Your Majesty, please be at peace! Today is not the morning of the court, so there is no need to perform this great ceremony!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone shouted in unison again.

In this way, this set of dragon farts is finished, and then it’s time to get down to business.

As soon as Privy Councilor Zhu Chengxun stood up, he hurriedly and respectfully handed over a memorial. This was the award memorial that the Privy Council had worked overtime to draft yesterday.

As soon as the emperor reads the approval, the Ministry of Household Affairs will withdraw the money, and then the secretary selected yesterday will take it to the front line and reward the emperor's labor force.

Zhu Yijiong looked at it very carefully and did not dare to miss a detail.This is a reward from the army, and nothing can be done carelessly.

The Privy Council still worked hard. Although it was done in one day, there were generally no problems and everything was done in accordance with the rules.There will be as many rewards as there are merits, basically everything is covered.

Not only the rewards, but also the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle were all done by the Privy Council without Zhu Yijiong mentioning it.

"Well, you did a good job. So, let's issue it like this!"

After reading this, Zhu Yijiong nodded slightly and said casually: "Haha, this guy named Fu Yunsheng is quite capable of protecting Chizhou from the attack of [-] Qing troops with only one town of troops."

This compliment should not be too obvious. Zhu Chengxun understood it instantly and quickly echoed: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Commander Fu Yunsheng of the First Army is indeed a general."

If these words continue, Fu Yunsheng, who lives in Chizhou, will have a stable future unless he seeks his own death.

The reason why Zhu Yijiong values ​​promotion so much is not only because this Fu Yunsheng has made meritorious service, but also because this Fu Yunsheng is from the New Army and is not the original veteran general of the rebel army.

This is very important.

After talking about the rewards for the front line, it was the turn of the cabinet, which had already received the news, to speak.

Wang Li left the team, raised his hands in salute and said: "Your Majesty, now that we have achieved great victory on the western front, the puppet Qing Dynasty has been defeated and fled across the Yangtze River. At your request, we can send troops to pursue the victory and cross the Yangtze River to conquer the Huaiyang area north of the Yangtze River."

"In this way, if we control the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, the south of the Yangtze River can be settled and the whole world can be conquered."

"My minister agrees!"

The secondary assistant Liang Wenxuan, who has always had no sense of presence, left the team and handed over.

The first and second assistants all responded, and with His Majesty's words revealed, the rest of the ministers quickly followed suit.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"..."

After going around, no one disapproved.

After all, these are all things that have been decided by default. How can it not be passed unanimously?
Zhu Yijiong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "In that case...Zhu Qing."

Zhu Chengxun came out of class and said: "I am here." Zhu Yijiong said: "I order you to work with the various departments of the Privy Council to immediately formulate the Huaiyang strategy and the tactical plan for the cross-river campaign, without making any mistakes."

"I obey the decree!" Zhu Chengxun agreed with his hand.

Zhu Yijiong added: "Li Qing, you and other arms bureaus must fully cooperate with the Privy Council to supply armaments and supplies needed for the war. However, remember not to delay the casting of plate armor and new artillery."

"I obey the order!" Old Man Li nodded hurriedly.

"Wang Qing, Liang Qing, and the six cabinet departments must not be sloppy. They must fully cooperate with the Privy Council and the Ordnance Bureau. This battle is related to the destiny of our country, the Ming Dynasty, and we must not neglect it at all."

"The minister obeys the order."

Wang Li and Liang Wenxuan responded in unison.

After that, Zhu Yijiong looked at Lu Youlong from the Propaganda Department and said: "Lu Qing, the Propaganda Department must also hurry up. The victory on the Western Front must be published as soon as possible so that our people under the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world can Everybody knows.”

"The minister leads the order."

"..."

After giving instructions, everyone was assigned tasks.Even Sanfasi and Honglu Temple were also urged by Haosheng.

Although they are not needed in the war, they cannot slack off.

The Ming Dynasty did not raise idle people.

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Yijiong briefly urged and encouraged everyone, and then let them go.

The cabinet and ministers of various ministries headed by Wang Li almost left in a hurry.

As Zhu Yijiong said, this battle across the river is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty and must not be treated lightly.

Moreover, it is summer now, and they have been fighting this battle for a long time. They must start it as soon as possible and end it as soon as possible.

After all, fighting in the summer is very rare, just like an army's night attack.Fortunately, the Ming army was full of professional soldiers, so there was no need to go back to help with the farming.

Everyone hurried back to work, and Zhu Yijiong also started his daily work-approving memorials.

In the following days, the war machine of Ming Dynasty also started to operate with full force again under the command of the central committee.A large amount of supplies were transferred to the front line by the Privy Council. The western front was still the same, with the First Army, the Second Army, and the Fourth Army in charge.

On the eastern front, the task of crossing the river to attack Yangzhou ultimately fell on the Seventh Army.

This is also one of the few pure-blooded new armies of the Ming Dynasty. The other Fifth Army, Sixth Army, and Eighth Army all have pseudo-Qing soldiers in them.

The Ninth Army was directly reorganized into the preparation army.

It just so happened that the Seventh Army had not fought many battles, but now it happened to use the battle of crossing the river to train its troops.

……

Jiangxi, southern Gansu.

Since Yang Gong sent troops to raid Anqing, Huang Dian's Fourth Army was ordered by the commander to suspend the southern offensive.

Of course, with the strength of his Fourth Army, it is not easy to control northern Jiangxi. It is indeed too risky to continue southward.

However, Huang Dian and the Ming Army did not know that they were afraid of being surrounded and attacked.But everyone in Nangan had been expecting the Ming army to attack soon.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Southern Jiangxi can no longer be saved. There are rebels in the east, rebels in the south, rebels in the north, and the west is still the territory of the Qing court.

But this is of no use. The Qing army in Hunan is struggling to protect itself, and it has no ability to support southern affairs.Even if they have the ability to support Nangan, they don't have the power.

This was an inter-provincial battle, even in front of the Governor of Huguang. Without an order from the court, troops could not be mobilized to Southern Gansu without permission.

This seems to be a useless system, but in fact it is a system that the Qing government took great pains to prevent local rebellions.

However, Huang Dian stopped sending troops, and Li Dengke, the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi Province, couldn't figure out what the Ming army was thinking, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Everyone just pretended to be confused.

Originally, there was no problem with this. At most, it was just a matter of waiting.

But the problem is that these local officials in southern Gansu are dishonest, even though they have made up their minds to lie down.As soon as the King of Ming Dynasty comes, he will eat pots of pulp and open the city to surrender. But he hasn't come yet, so naturally he should do what he should do.

Those who make money will continue to make money, and those who oppress the people will continue to oppress the people.

After all, once the Ming army comes, who knows whether he can continue to be an official. Rumors are just rumors after all.

Rather than placing your fate on others, it is better to control your own destiny.Earn more money while you are still an official. Money is useful anytime and anywhere.

Even Li Dengke, the commander-in-chief of Southern Jiangxi, thought so.

However, as we all know, Nangan is a very complicated place, full of mountain people and Hakka people.These Hakka people have never liked the Qing court. To be more precise, they don't like the imperial court and the government at all.

Since the Qing Dynasty, Southern Gansu has been rebelling, just like a damn thing.

As a result, under the unremitting efforts (double exploitation) of Southern Jiangxi Commander-in-Chief Li Dengke and the local officials of Southern Jiangxi.

Southern Jiangxi is rebelling!
