My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 177 Tianjin Water Affairs

"Confucianism breaks the law with literature, and chivalry breaks the law with force."

"Sun Shangshu means that if you break the law, you can't be punished?"

As the emperor's words fell, there was a silence in the hall, and then Sun Ruyou said quickly.

"I have absolutely no intention of this."

If this makes the emperor feel that he is speaking to Yan Guan, then the previous impression points will be wiped out!

In desperation, Sun Ruyou could only explain what he really meant.

"I just feel that using new laws to govern old matters would seem a bit too harsh."

"new."

After hearing Sun Ruyou's words, Zhu Youxiao reacted instantly.

The law is not retroactive.

New laws cannot be used to cure old problems.

In other words, let’s forget the past and make amends for the past.

The issue of ultra vires was indeed raised only after the emperor ascended the throne.

Prior to this, emperors of all dynasties would allow or even encourage this kind of writing in order to ensure smooth communication or to show that they were not dictatorial.

"That's all."

After his eyes flickered for a moment or two, Zhu Youxiao waved his sleeves and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Wenda just breathed a sigh of relief and heard the emperor say again.

"This matter has been revealed, but Zhang Wenda, please remember this, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate does this kind of overstep of authority again."

As he said that, the emperor took a deep look at Zhang Wenda and gave him a look of understanding.

"I must bear in mind His Majesty's teachings and rectify the Imperial Procuratorate."

Seeing the emperor's eyes, Zhang Wenda lowered his head deeply.

The six chief officials present were not surprised to see the emperor suppressing the Metropolitan Procuratorate on a daily basis.

I didn't see another symbol of Qingliu. The cabinet minister Han Xu had been excluded by the emperor and did not participate in decision-making.

After waving his hand to signal the other party to get up, Zhu Youxiao continued.

"When writing about Liaodong, I ordered Tong Zhongkui, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Dusi, to lead his army to Beijing, receive the reward and return to central Sichuan."

"Your Majesty, we have just defeated the slave establishment. Why not let the Sichuan army continue to station in Liaodong. After the slave establishment is defeated this autumn, we can order them to return to central Sichuan."

After hearing the emperor's words, Huang Kezhan said a little uncertainly.

According to his understanding, the imperial court did not allow Yongning chieftain to send troops, and the former king Sanshan went south and Qin Liangyu recruited troops. Even if She Chongming wanted to change the world, he could not make waves.

To transfer the Sichuan troops back in such a hurry is to live up to the advantage Xiong Tingbi created in Liaodong.

"Hurry is not enough."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.

"The previous defeat of Saarhu has told us that the situation in Liaodong can no longer be solved overnight."

"The situation in Liaodong has deteriorated. We must take precautions as soon as possible to prevent the situation in central Sichuan from also deteriorating."

"The minister obeys the order."

Hearing this, Huang Kezhan first bowed his hands in agreement, and then said.

"But if Tong Zhongkui's 6,000 Sichuan soldiers return to central Sichuan and Jianu invades Liaodong again, how can Xiong Jinglue defend himself against the enemy?"

"The chieftains in Shizhu and Eiyang are still at his disposal. And doesn't Zhang Mingshi claim to have obtained the true biography of Qi Shaobao and trained a camp of new troops? Use them."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao gave his own solution.

"In addition, the Liao army from Guangning will also be transferred there, and the local garrison will be handed over to Bao Taowei who is heading north."

"this."

Hearing this, Huang Kezhan blinked his little eyes a few times and bowed quickly.

"The minister leads the order."

Listening to the emperor's military arrangements for Liaodong, everyone present was stirred up in their hearts.

None of them were fools. Many people could tell at a glance that the emperor was using Xiong Tingbi's help to rectify the Liaodong military town.

Sun Chuanting, a Jinshi from Zhenwuwei, was a member of the emperor's family. This was the tacit conclusion among everyone. And the Leopard Tao Guards under Sun Chuanting were mixed with Xu Guangqi's new army, the old Beijing camp, and the elites of Liaodong.

The combat effectiveness cannot be said to be top-notch, at least it is second-rate.

The emperor is now using this army to suppress Guangning so that he can attack the local military in Guangning.

"I understand."

After pondering the emperor's meaning clearly, Huang Kezhan bowed, picked up a pen and started writing on his "meeting minutes".

He developed this habit from the day the emperor explained the role of money.

"The fourth thing is the Tianjin Navy."

Seeing that Huang Kezhan was no longer a problem, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Yuan Keli, the prefect of Tianjin, and Shen Yourong, the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Navy behind him.

A closer look at Shen Yourong's face revealed that this person was as if Mr. Guan was alive and Mr. Zhang was resurrected.

He has a dark face, a stout figure, and a black beard below his chin. He is shiny and shiny. It can be seen that he pays great attention to maintenance.

Wearing loose court clothes still gives people a tight feeling, very burly.

"At the end of last year, I ordered the establishment of the Liaodong Transshipment Department, and also ordered the integration of the Tianjin and Denglai navies. How has it been so far?"

After hearing the emperor's words, Yuan Keli immediately became energetic.

This is asking him to give a work report.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

Still taking out the memorial from his sleeve and handing it to the young eunuch, Yuan Keli stood up and said.

"According to the imperial edict, I changed the name of Tianjin Wei to Tianjin Prefecture, and assisted Yang Sichang, the Liaodong Transportation Department, and Shen Yourong, the commander-in-chief of the Tianjin Navy, to form two divisions. This is a memorial."

"I am appointed as the magistrate of Tianjin, and there are seven counties under it. In accordance with the edict of the Holy Emperor, the officials are united and promoted to officials with outstanding abilities. Now each county has enough officials and plenty of food and grass."

"Last year, your Majesty ordered the governor of Tianjin Water Affairs. However, Commander-in-Chief Shen did not arrive, and the navy in the Liaodong battle was difficult. Therefore, I transferred the Denglai Navy to assist Yang Sichang in setting up the Liaodong Transport Division. When Commander-in-Chief Shen arrived, Some of the ships have just been returned."

Yuan Keli did not shy away from using the warship to transport food to Yang Sichang, and told him directly in the lobby.

"Today, the Liaodong Transshipment Department has five large ships of 10,000 shi and twenty-four small ships of 1,000 shi. They can transport more than 100,000 shi of grain and grass to Liaodong each time."

"The Liaodong Navy has four large ships of ten thousand stones, seventeen gunboats and warships, and sixty-one warships, which are all ready for use."

"After Changlu Salt Field was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was able to give 14,000 taels of silver to the Tianjin magistrate's office every month, which was all used to buy ships."

With Yuan Keli's sonorous and powerful voice, Zhu Youxiao gradually had a preliminary understanding of things in Tianjin.

All in all, apart from sending a bunch of corrupt officials and generals to the capital due to corruption issues, the Tianjin government is already on track.

Transportation of grain and recruitment of navy troops were enough to reassure the emperor.

Yuan Keli's administrative ability has been proven by history.

Being able to achieve results even though Jiannu was dominant in Liaodong made Jiannu so angry that he burned all the relevant information after entering the customs.

In history, this dear man definitely did more than instigating Liu Aita, the son-in-law of Nurhaci, to rebel.

"Master Yuan can be said to be a man of great merit for his hard work."

Seeing that Yuan Keli's face was a little darkened by the sea breeze, Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea cup and sighed.

"I would like to offer tea to Master Yuan instead of wine."

Seeing the emperor pick up the tea cup and drink it all in one gulp, Yuan Keli was not a pretentious person. He took the tea cup on the tray handed by the eunuch, thanked the emperor and drank it all in one gulp.

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness."

"I can rest assured that Tianjin matters will be left to Master Yuan."

After signaling the other party to level up, Zhu Youxiao continued.

"But there is one more thing that you need to do together with Master Sun."

"Please order, Your Majesty."

After hearing the emperor's words, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong looked at each other and hurriedly raised their hands.

"In the past, Gaohuai rebelled against Liao, causing people in Liaodong to turn against each other. Although Master Sun comforted them, it would be difficult to calm them down in a short time."

"Put out 50,000 taels of silver from the internal funds to buy tools, and then move some landless people by sea from Tianjin and other places to farm in Liaodong."
