Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 212
Get up early in the morning and sweep the court. This is the first sentence of Yu Youren's family management motto. Zhu Houzhao had a detailed understanding of this old man in his previous life. He is a great person and a person worthy of respect.There is another sentence that Zhu Houzhao was also impressed with, and it is also one of Yu Youren's family management maxims.

That is: a porridge and a meal, it is not easy to think about the origin; half a thread, half a thread, it is difficult to keep thinking about things.

Zhu Houzhao basically tries his best to use the words of "Xingjian" now. In the past few years, he got up early every day to practice martial arts or study, and he never delayed.Early this morning, Zhu Houzhao got up early again, because he was going to go to court today.You must know that Zhu Houzhao, the prince, has not been to the morning court for some days, so everyone will be shocked today.

After cleaning up, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin and walked towards Qianqing Palace, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Today is to talk about the Northern Expedition, which Zhu Houzhao has been looking forward to for a long time. In this war, Zhu Houzhao will reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty in northern Xinjiang in one fell swoop.In fact, since the 12th year of Hongzhi, northern Xinjiang has not stopped. Dayan Khan occasionally led troops to haunt the border towns of Guyuan, Ningxia, Datong, Xuanfu, and Yulin in the Ming Dynasty. The losses of the Ming army in the past two years were not small.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that this situation would continue for more than ten years until Zhengde reorganized its army and prepared for war, which made the situation in northern Xinjiang improve.

However, after the death of Zhengde, Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne, and a series of military policies were abolished, which made the situation in northern Xinjiang take a turn for the worse. He couldn't win against Dayan Khan's grandson, Altan Khan, and was beaten to the city of Beijing. .Zhu Houzhao sent troops to the northwest this time, in order to be ruthless and kill all those who were not convinced.

After meeting his father, Zhu Houzhao walked into the hall with his father. Seeing this scene, the ministers were stunned.

No one expected that His Highness the Crown Prince, who hadn't come to court for so long, would actually come to court this time. Everyone present was a little dazed, but soon everyone realized that His Highness the Crown Prince, whom he had not seen for a long time, appeared. There must be something big going on!The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and everyone's hearts were raised.

For the ministers of the imperial court in recent years, it is more appropriate to use one sentence to describe it, that is, "the river is clear and the sea is clean, the country is peaceful and the people are safe".

Although there are small disasters in various places from time to time, and a little disturbance in the northwest from time to time, these are small problems that cannot be brought to the fore or affect the overall situation.From a macro point of view, the entire Ming Dynasty is very good, thriving and prosperous.This also made Zhu Houzhao seem out of place in training soldiers and preparing for battle all day long.

Under such circumstances, everyone will naturally not point the finger at Zhu Houzhao, the prince, so who are they pointing at?Of course it is Xungui, you all encouraged it.

His Royal Highness is obsessed with martial arts, disregarding people's livelihood, how can this be done?His Royal Highness the Prince must be concerned about the people's livelihood. This Mencius said, "The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the lightest." The boat will be carried, and the boat will be capsized by the water. His Royal Highness is the prince of the country, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, how can he indulge in martial arts all day long, and pay attention to people's livelihood!

It's not that there is no such argument, and it's not that Zhu Houzhao has never heard of it. Zhu Houzhao can only sneer at this argument.

Concerned about people's livelihood?Don't worry, you wait for me to finish my work, wait for me to free up my hands, wait until I am done with work and free my hands, you will see how I deal with you, then you will know how powerful you are.When the time comes, I will let you know how I care about people's livelihood. Just don't cry and call your mother when the time comes.

The morning court naturally had to discuss matters, but with Zhu Houzhao's hesitant appearance in the morning court today, the entire discussion process became a bit weird, as if everyone was absent-minded.

Finally no one spoke, at this time Zhu Youtang sat up straight, took a memorial from He Neng, and then said: "This is the memorial from Qin Hong, the governor of the three sides and Qin Aiqing, the little prince of the Tartars. I have already conquered Yisimain and Huozhai one after another, and I will soon unify Monan Mongolia, these days Huozhai is constantly harassing the three sides, and the little prince is taking all the time to fight around."

Zhu Youtang's words stunned the ministers. The little prince wants to unify Monan Mongolia?so suddenly?Could it be that a huge enemy is about to rise?
Now everyone knows why the prince came to the morning court. You must know that Zhu Houzhao defeated Huozhai three years ago, and nearly wiped out Huozhai's cavalry with five thousand to ten thousand.Everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao differently. Could it be that His Royal Highness is going to the northwest again this time?Unlike the civil servants' worries, Xungui felt that this was an opportunity, and some people even laughed.

There are quite a few of the noble children in the Black Dragon Army, plus the students from the Martial Academy, it is said that they will graduate soon, and they will join the Black Dragon Army after graduation, and they will go to the northwest with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Under such circumstances, wouldn't the credit be coming?As for defeat, it was impossible in Xungui's view.Compared with civil servants, they know much more about the martial arts academy and the Black Dragon Army.The black dragon army's equipment, the black dragon army's training, and the black dragon army's strong soldiers, how can mere Tartars compare to it?

Five years ago, His Highness the Crown Prince's five thousand broke ten thousand. How many people does His Highness the Crown Prince have now?Fifty thousand, fifty thousand black dragon army, can a fire sieve stop it?
No one thought that the fire sieve could stop it. Anyway, Xungui was very confident, at least they knew what their disciples looked like.In the three years in the Wuyuan, the weak nephew and grandchildren before now, now they are covered with horizontal tendons, and the big knife is very powerful, and when paired with the black dragon army's knife, it can easily cut off the wooden pile with one knife.

This year, with the expansion of the steelmaking plant and the new steelmaking method, Daming's steel production has continued to increase, and the quality has also continued to improve.

After knowing these situations, how can the nobles not do something?This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. As for dying in battle, how many of the Xungui family died in battle?How many people died in the Civil War?That kind of battle has to be fought, let alone this kind of lifelong battle?If you win the battle, you will have a good life. If you lose the battle, you will die. It is a good face for the family.

If a son of Xungui's family died in battle, the emperor must pay extra attention to it. Xungui also knew this, and they dared to sacrifice their lives for the continuation of the family's wealth.

Under such circumstances, the dignitaries and the civil servants naturally think differently, this needs to be fought!How can this not be done?In this way, the first batch of main combat factions of Ming Dynasty were born, and in later generations, they were called the Noble Rebel faction.
