My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 106 Qin Liangyu Zhenchuanzhong
After being pulled into the lobby by the emperor, and then sitting on the soft pillar moved by the eunuch, Qin Liangyu secretly looked at the little emperor all the way.

Although this little emperor looks young, his face is healthy and rosy, and he is not sick.

My legs are slightly apart when I walk. It seems that the skin on my inner thighs has been worn out by riding horses and has not yet healed.

After sitting down behind the Long Shu desk, Zhu Youxiao waved to all the eunuchs to go out, leaving only Liu Shimin beside him, and then he spoke to Qin Liangyu.

"The general first followed Li Hualong to pacify Bozhou. After the defeat of Sarhu last year, he sent his brothers to lead troops out of the pass to guard Liaodong. The two chieftains, Shizhu and Qiyang, can be regarded as the model of chieftains in our Ming Dynasty."

"This is the duty of a married woman, and she does not dare to take credit."

Hearing this, Qin Liangyu quickly stood up and said.

She was often in the army, and after her husband Ma Qiancheng was sent to prison by an eunuch, she was unable to get medical treatment and died in prison, so she was cautious in everything she did.

"The general has been guarding Sichuan and Chongqing for many years and has made great contributions. This time I summoned the general to Beijing. In addition to military affairs, I just want to meet the general in person to show that I value him. The general does not need to be polite."

Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Youxiao's face and his eyes.

Since the beginning of the broadcast, she has traveled all the way to the north and south, and it can be said that she has read countless people, how can she not distinguish the true from the false.

Feeling the little emperor's sincerity towards her, she was moved.

"This is because I have done my duty, and the emperor is so kind to me. I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it, but I allow my wife to be presumptuous."

After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, he sat down.

"The Ma and Qin families have been guarding Sichuan and Chongqing for many years, keeping the Sichuan province from chaos. Today, on behalf of the people of the southwest, I offer tea instead of wine and a toast to the general."

Zhu Youxiao said, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qin Liangyu quickly raised his teacup and bowed.

"I have been ordered to do my duty faithfully, and I must not take it seriously!"

Neither of them told the story about their husband Ma Qiancheng being imprisoned.

During that time, the imperial court was carrying out the reform of tusi guiliu, and many chieftains in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions became chieftains.

They were not natives, but serious Han people. The court originally planned to imprison Ma Qiancheng, then convert the stone pillars back to earth, and then use them after that.

Unexpectedly, Ma Qian was trapped in a cocoon and died of illness in prison, which made it impossible for the court and the Ma family to step down.

In the end, Ma Qiancheng was found not guilty, and the court did not take back the stone pillar to announce the consolation seal.

Don't underestimate the role of the seal, it is something that marks the stability of the rule.

You must know that since the time of the Wanli period when the locals were changed to return to their native land, the chieftains in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas often made troubles to the point where they would lose their minds among each other because of a Xuanwei envoy seal.

After signaling the young eunuch to pour tea for Qin Liangyu, Zhu Youxiao talked about business with Qin Liangyu.

"Xiong Tingbi once wrote in the Liaodong Economic Strategy that the guest troops from Liaodong were only the two chieftains, Shizhu and Qiyang, who were the most capable and well-disciplined."

"From the 46th year of Wanli to the present, our Ming Dynasty can be said to be in a troubled time. First, Sar Hu Yanguan urged the war and was defeated, and then the two dragons returned together to mourn."

"A few days ago, I received a report from the general asking for food and equipment to send troops to Liaodong, and I deeply felt the general's concern for the country."

"Of course, I cannot agree with the general to lead [-] Sichuan troops out of Sichuan again."

Before Qin Liangyu could speak, Zhu Youxiao continued.

"I don't doubt the general's loyalty, but I have other considerations."

"Previously, Xiong Tingbi summoned the border generals and mobilized all the troops and horses in Sichuan. Now it has become empty in Sichuan. I am afraid that there are ambitious people who want to recreate the story of Yang Yinglong in the past and cause chaos in Sichuan."

"The chieftains Shizhu and Qiyang have sent nearly [-] troops to Liaodong. I can rest assured."

"However, I can't let go of the chieftains from Yongning and Shuixi."

"Not long after I ascended the throne, I discovered that the people in the court are all ignorant and short-sighted."

"After the defeat of Saerhu, no one dared to take charge of the crisis in Liaodong. Only Xiong Tingbi was ordered to take charge of the crisis and gathered the border generals, which calmed the situation in Liaodong. Now, Xiong Tingbi has done meritorious service in defending Liaodong, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are trying to impeach him in an attempt to steal his peace. Liao’s contribution.”

"Now, I want to rectify the army in the capital, but it is said that I am hunting in Nanyuan all day long."

With that said, Zhu Youxiao was quite angry.

Damn it, this rumor cost almost nothing, and there is no way to find out who is spreading the rumor. "I have been recruiting troops in the capital these days. I have found that the sources of soldiers are mixed, and it is difficult to make good soldiers. Therefore, I want to use 50 taels of silver from my internal funds, and let the general recruit [-] troops for me in Sichuan. One is to guard the center of Sichuan, and the other is to wait for me. When we conquer Liaodong in the future, we will have troops available."

"I wonder what the general would like?"

"The minister is willing to share the worries for His Majesty."

Hearing this, Qin Liangyu quickly bowed.

When she first heard that the emperor disagreed with her leading troops out of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu was a little nervous, fearing that the emperor would doubt her loyalty.

But after hearing the emperor's last words, Qin Liangyu's face was moved, he stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Ma Qin is deeply grateful for the emperor's favor, and she is deeply grateful to her. She is willing to be the emperor, and she is willing to break her body to pieces and wrap her body in horse leather for the sake of our Ming Dynasty!"

"The general is serious."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea cup and said to Qin Liangyu.

"The general will live a long life, be blessed with good fortune and good health!"

He called Qin Liangyu forward to the Long Bookcase, took out his army structure document, and after talking to Qin Liangyu for a while, Zhu Youxiao said again.

"I am currently training troops in Nanyuan. I asked Ma Xianglin to lead [-] elite troops to Beijing to assist me in training. I think the general will not blame me for separating your mother and son."

"Your Majesty is so kind to me, how dare I dethrone the official for personal reasons."

Hearing this, Qin Liangyu bowed.

The two talked for nearly half an hour, including Zhu Youxiao's arrangements for the new army, and Qin Liangyu explaining some things in Sichuan to Zhu Youxiao. He also had a preliminary understanding of Sichuan.

After all was said and done, after giving Qin Liangyu a house in the city, Zhu Youxiao personally sent Qin Liangyu to Beihongmen.

Seeing Qin Liangyu and the eunuch riding away, Zhu Youxiao's face was filled with emotion.

The Qin and Ma families can be said to be full of loyal people.

Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu’s brothers Qin Bangping, Qin Minping, etc.

Ma Xianglin, Ma Xianglin's wife Zhang Fengyi, etc.

All died fighting for the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding Qin Liangyu, Zhu Youxiao's most profound memory is that in the 15th year of Chongzhen, when the Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, Ma Xianglin defended Xiangyang alone, with few generals and no reinforcements. Seeing that the city was broken, he would be defeated, so he wrote a final letter to Qin Liangyu: My son swears to live and die with Xiangyang, please don’t worry about my son’s safety!

Qin Liangyu's reply to Ma Xianglin only had six words: OK!good!good!My true son!

In this battle, Ma Xianglin died in battle.

As early as the third year of Chongzhen, Ma Xianglin's wife Zhang Fengyi requested reinforcements because Zuo Liangyu had few soldiers. Then Zuo Liangyu watched helplessly as Zhang Fengyi died in the battle in Henan.

"Your Majesty, I dare you to give me your advice."

Seeing that the emperor was still here watching Qin Liangyu leave, Liu Shimin had to think about the emperor.

"My servant thinks that using Qin Liangyu as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan may cause a shock in the court. All officials have written a letter that someone should be sent to assist Qin Gaoming."

"Send someone else? Who can go?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Shimin angrily.

"How many useful people do I have now? Those losers in the court say one thing and do another, and they don't know how to deceive me."

When Liu Shimin said this, Zhu Youxiao was a little uneasy at this time.

No matter how much he respects Qin Liangyu, she is still a woman.

This was a flaw in the Ming Dynasty, or the feudal era.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao spoke up.

"Preaching the three virtues of the king."
