My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 93 What kind of movement is this?

Zhu Youxiao didn't care how the three uncles were beheaded in public.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care what kind of ripples their deaths would cause in Beijing.

He only cares about how much money he can make from these three companies.

As for whether it will lead to the death of rabbits and the sorrow of foxes, it is not a matter in Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

Xungui is now controlled in Nanhaizi, and his head has been pinched. What trouble can he cause?

In the afternoon, the heads of the three uncles were sent to Nanhaizi.

"Kick the throat~"

Drums, bowls, gongs, and wooden fish, a traditional Chinese symphony played in the old government office.

Outside the old Yamen, a group of Taoist priests and monks were performing rituals.

"When the gong hits, it makes a tinkling sound~"

"Sir, you are very serious when sitting in court~"

"We just opened those five gates~"

"Now we still need the three of them~"

Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, Huang Kezhan and four others from the newly established Liaodong Transshipment Department, Yang Sichang, came together.

Just after crossing the Qingshui River, the four of them heard an ominous sound.

Bi Ziyan and others looked at each other, wondering what the emperor was up to.

"What is your Majesty doing?"

Seeing the group of monks and Taoists on the school grounds, Bi Ziyan couldn't help but pull over a young eunuch and ask.

"My lord, didn't the emperor kill three uncles this morning as a warning to others?"

The little eunuch holding the incense candle was pulled by Bi Ziyan, and he quickly protected the thing in his arms. After seeing the golden pheasant in front of Bi Ziyan, he quickly bowed.

"But the emperor felt that the three uncles had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty after all. Now that they had died and had their titles removed, the emperor couldn't bear it, so he asked people to come and perform rituals for the three uncles."

"..."

Listening to the little eunuch's narration, several black lines appeared on the heads of the four people at the same time.

Why should the emperor, a cat crying like a mouse, be so straightforward?

Knowing that the emperor loved to mess with things, Bi Ziyan could only sigh helplessly and continue to go to the old Yamen.

"The ministers respectfully invite Shengan."

After the announcement, the four people entered the lobby and bowed to those who were reviewing the memorial.

"Flat body."

Putting down the ink pen in his hand, Zhu Youxiao looked at the four people.

"I asked you to build the Liaodong Transshipment Department. Are you ready?"

"Go back to the emperor."

Hearing this, Yang Sichang stood up and said.

"I have been ordered to establish a new office of the Liaodong Transportation Division. There will be one transportation envoy, senior rank four, and two transportation officials, senior rank four."

As Yang Sichang took the memorial and reported it to Zhu Youxiao, the responsibilities of the Transportation Department were laid out in front of the emperor.

The Liaodong Transshipment Department is responsible for the transportation of materials from Liaodong to the capital, the payment of taxes from Liaodong, the issuance of appropriations from the imperial court, and the escort of food and wages, etc.

It can be said that the military and the government have both hands.

Because Liaodong is close to the sea, the Liaodong Transshipment Department is responsible for not only land transportation, but also sea transportation.

To this end, the Ministry of Industry allocated three large ships with various materials from Denglai to the Liaodong Transshipment Department.

Of course, this small number of ships is not enough for the current transshipment volume from Beijing to Liaodong.

For this reason, the Du Branch allocated another 10 taels of currency to the Liaodong Transportation Department.

And because the Transportation Department required a large number of manpower to transport materials, the Ministry of War gave the Liaodong Transportation Department some power to mobilize troops.

Listening to Yang Sichang's narration, Zhu Youxiao nodded slowly.

"The reward from the late emperor and the escort of Liao's salary are of great importance. You must act with caution."

He took Yang Sichang's memorial from the eunuch's hand, picked up the newly carved Apocalypse, and stamped it on the memorial.In this way, this memorial to the newly opened yamen can be considered truly legal.

"Since the branch office has given you 10 taels of silver as capital, I will also give you another 10 taels of silver."

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

After hearing the emperor's words, Yang Sichang quickly knelt down, raised his hands high, and took the memorial from the eunuch's hands.

"Let's go."

Waving to signal Yang Sichang to leave, Zhu Youxiao stood up from the Long Bookcase.

"My minister retire."

Knowing that the emperor had other matters to discuss with the three assistant ministers, Yang Sichang quickly exited the hall.

Leading the three of them towards the lobby, Zhu Youxiao motioned to the three of them to look at the sand table he had made in the Liaodong and Gyeonggi regions.

On the sand table, the eunuch had marked the key cities based on the map of the Ming Dynasty.

"I want to abolish the military and build a government in Liaodong, and divide the civil and military affairs."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Youxiao revealed a big news to the three of them.

"Your Majesty, this is it."

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, and Huang Kezhan were all shocked.

"Liaodong is currently experiencing troubled times. If we abolish the military and establish a government, it may affect the frontline war."

"I know, you have to eat your food one bite at a time."

After waving his hand, Zhu Youxiao said.

"Since Li Chengliang conquered Liao, the amount of food and salary required in Liaodong has been increasing day by day, and border affairs in Liaodong have become more and more frequent. This is a bleeding hole for our Ming Dynasty, and it must be blocked."

"Now, Xiong Tingbi is confronting Jiannu in Liaoshen. A few days ago, Sun Chengzong wrote to me, saying that he wanted to farm in Liaodong for military purposes, and I agreed with him."

Pointing his hand on the map, Zhu Youxiao said to the three of them.

"I have been thinking about Liaodong for a long time. If Liaodong wants to farm, the location is no more than Ningyuan, Guangning, Haizhou, and Gaizhou."

"Liaoyang and Shenyang are currently unable to farm."

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

Hearing this, Bi Ziyan frowned, somewhat confused.

"Liaoyang is on the front line. If we are stationed in the fields, we can avoid transportation fees."

"Liaoshen cannot farm. Farming requires a stable environment."

Before the emperor could speak, Xu Guangqi stood up and pointed at the map to explain to Bi Ziyan.

"Guangning and Ningyuan are two guarding countries. Although they are surrounded by the Duoyan tribe, our Ming Dynasty has opened a market in Guangning and trades with them. We have been favored by the Ming Dynasty for many years and dare not invade the border. And now the power of building slaves is strong. Among the various Mongolian tribes, except Horqin, all other tribes are in the same boat as Jiannu."

"There are five right guards in Gai, Hai, Fu, Jin, and Dingliao. Fu and Jin are located in mountainous areas, which is not conducive to farming."

"Dingliao Youwei is located on the border. Across the border wall is the place where Jianzhou Jurchen is located, and no farming is allowed."

"As for the Liao and Shen areas, there are Jianzhou Jurchens to the east and Haixi Jurchens to the north. Now that the Yehe tribe has been annexed by Nurhachi, the Jurchens have been unified and their numbers have increased greatly. However, although their wings are rich, their flesh and blood are insufficient. "

"The Jurchens are not good at farming, and are more engaged in fishing and hunting. They rely on mountains to eat and water to drink water. Therefore, most of their people are good at shooting and tough. However, after they annexed the slave tribes, although they have a large number of people, they suffer from insufficient food and grass."

"After Xiong Tingbi took over Liaodong, he implemented the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness. In June and August this year, when the autumn weather was crisp and clear, Nurhachi tried to attack Liaoshen twice, but Xiong Tingbi blocked both times."

"Two deployments of troops were a waste of money and food. Come to think of it, Jiannu will have a hard time this year."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and agreed with Xu Guangqi's military analysis ability.

Don't think that Xu Guangqi is just a scientist, he also has a good military vision.

Moreover, Xu Guangqi's military strategy was similar to that of the emperor, relying on building forts to push forward.

"What Xu Aiqing said is very much in line with my wishes."

Putting his hand on the sand table, Zhu Youxiao looked at the three of them and said.

"My decision has been made. The guards of Ningyuan, Guangning, Hai, Gai, Fu, and Jin will abolish their guards and establish mansions!"

　Nothing to say, please give me a monthly pass.
