Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Regarding what Yang Chendong did with the mercenaries in the north, spies from the military’s Embroidered Uniform Guard would report regularly, which also provokes Zhu Qiyu’s anger and joy .

The anger is because of what the mercenaries did in the Nuer Kandusi area. After three battles, the Northern Ming Guards lost nearly 20,000 soldiers; the joy is because the appearance of Yang Chendong made Northern Ming’s military pressure on the northern border has become much smaller. According to the Datong government’s memory report, Wala, who had already occupied the Hetao area, also stopped its offensive due to the establishment of Sicheng and the appearance of mercenaries.

So you can see the prestige of Yang Chendong. It’s just a pity that this person can’t be used only for himself. If it is possible, he must defeat Southern Ming, and it will not be difficult to unify the world.

Zhu Qiyu touched his forehead with a headache. This little movement was seen by Jin Ying, who was standing by and waiting. He quickly asked with concern, “His Imperial Majesty, is there anything wrong? “

“No, please let me know. The ministers should be here soon, right?” Zhu Qiyu shook the head, thinking of why the minister hadn’t arrived yet, he asked a few more questions.

“It has been notified, I must be there soon.” Jin Ying also hurriedly answered, and then looked out of the hall with anxious feet. Although he did this, he obviously couldn’t see anything, but he was going to tell His Imperial Majesty with such a move that he was also very anxious.

Not at all How long did you wait, and soon there was a sound of complicated footsteps outside the hall, and then the voice of the little Court Eunuch asking for instructions came over, “His Imperial Majesty, High Official Yi Ming of the Ministry of War My lord is here, I ask for a promotion.”

“His Imperial Majesty, Ministry of Justice High Official Xu Youzhen is here, I ask for a promotion…”

“Okay, okay, Call them in.” Jin Ying has been watching Zhu Qiyu from the corner of her eye, seeing that although she didn’t say anything, she was impatient for a long time, so she called out loudly on her own terms.

In a short while, the Ministry of Civil Affairs High Official Wang Zhi, the Ministry of Justice High Official Jin Lian, the Ministry of Rites High Official Hu Ying, the Ministry of War High Official Yi Ming, the Ministry of Justice High Official Xu Youzhen, Ministry of Works High Official Shi Pu and Imperial Censor Chen Yi, the left capital, entered the Imperial Palace main hall, and stood on duty.

In less than two years, there are not at all changes in Zhu Qiyu’s regime. In fact, it seems that Northern Ming does not have a major event, and it is stable and united internally, but in fact it is just Gold Jade and it is actually a failure.

Let’s talk about Zhu Qiyu’s superiority first. After all, it is a special case, not a normal emperor superiority. This has been criticized by many people below. Even it has been three years since the defeat of Civil Engineering, and there is still mentioning that matter, to the effect that once Emperor Yingzong is fine, then he should come back to be His Imperial Majesty instead of Southern Ming. , Causing the powerful Great Ming to split into two halves, and its strength was greatly reduced.

There is still some doubt about the position under the ass. For this reason, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Dongchang have exerted a lot of effort and caught a lot of people. On the surface, it looks calm and tranquil. But once a crisis is discovered, no one can say for sure that no one will come out to make trouble.

The military has been training recruits and refining firearms. These are all very expensive games. At one time, the Northern Ming regime was unable to make ends meet, so that many officials’ salaries were not issued in time. , This has attracted many complaints.

Externally. Needless to say, Southern Ming seems to be harmonious, but who knows what Zhu Qizhen thinks about this younger brother who robbed the throne? There is no use now, just because of the rampant foreign attack, but once there is no foreign attack, I am afraid that there will be a big battle and a winner will be determined.

Not to mention, because there was a problem with the joint business, the friendship with the Wara Ministry is no longer the same as before. The opponent has even sent troops to occupy the Hetao area, making the Western border restless. At this time, mercenaries came to Northwest, which made the situation more complicated.

Combined with all kinds of situations, Zhu Qiyu often feels that one head is two big. Under such an environment, several High Official ministers can naturally stay still, otherwise it will only cause other panic and complicated situations.

Six High Officials, one Imperial Censor, the Imperial Censor, were standing in the hall, each with a suspicious expression. They couldn’t figure out why His Imperial Majesty would be summoned in a hurry. It seems that this morning has just been promoted to the discussion, what did His Imperial Majesty not at all say, waiting for them to go home just now, there is no heat in their buttocks, this is an urgent call, could it be that something urgent happened? Is the major event not possible?

Thinking about this, the faces of the seven important ministers all changed. The first thing they thought of was that Vala came over. Perhaps only this matter could make the emperor so restless. Think about it, didn’t Emperor Yingzong even get the first hand when he was defeated?

As for why no one thinks about Southern Ming and mercenaries. It’s because they are all their own in a sense. Now that the external troubles have not been eliminated, the internal troubles It shouldn’t be happened.

The complexions of the seven ministers changed one after another, but they were all calm. No one said a word, a picture waiting for His Imperial Majesty’s meaning. Zhu Qiyu has long been accustomed to this scene, and he also knows that these ministers are all deliberate people, and ordinary things can hardly stimulate them.

Okay, that’s it, today he will take a shot to stimulate them. “Jin Ying, show the memorial report to the ministers one after another.”

“Yes, His Imperial Majesty.” Jin Ying answered complied, holding the memorial report sent by Shi Wanshan, first This person walked in front of the High Official Wang Zhi of the official department, “Wang High Official, please have a look.”

Officials of the official department have said that they have met the first class of the official department since ancient times. It’s called, so you can always tell Wang Zhi to see the news first.

Wang Zhi nodded slightly reservedly, then took the memorial and checked it. But it’s just a few breaths time, and the face is constantly changing, so it can be seen that this memory report must say a major event, otherwise, it will not make the unpleasant household officials become so nervous and gloomy. .

In about a dozen interest, Wang Zhi sent the memorial back to Jin Ying Grand Court Eunuch again, and then the memorial report was passed down and sent to the High Official Gold In Lian’s hands, his expression also changed, no different from Wang Zhi’s performance just now.

It is more than ten breaths, continue to pass, the same scenes appear again and again…

Zhu Qiyu sits high on the golden Dragon Throne, looking carefully The changing colors on the faces of the courtiers. Whenever I see a minister who is about to show his gaffe, I feel extremely proud. “How is it? This time scared you. Don’t you want to teach me when I am gaffe, you have to be quiet, now look at you, how can you be quiet?”

A cup of tea takes a little more time, and all the seven important ministers have read the memorial. Jin Ying also returned to Zhu Qiyu again and stood aside. The voice of Emperor Jingtai in this brief moment also resounded in the hall. “Everyone has seen the news, can you tell me your opinion?”

There was silence in the hall. Faced with the emperor’s question, not at all, people answered immediately. Everyone seemed to be digesting what they just got. The message is average. Until Zhu Qiyu asked again impatiently, Ministry of Justice High Official Xu Youzhen finally stood up and said, “His Imperial Majesty, the minister dare to ask, is this news true? I’m afraid it will not be. Who pretends to be Duke of Zhongdan?”

No wonder Xu Youzhen has such questions. Yang Chendong is no longer what it used to be.

After the defeat of Tumu, Yang Chendong stepped forward and led the so-called mercenaries to defeat the menacing army. At that time, there were reasons to say that this army did not belong to him. , Because he once saved a person, who happened to be the leader of a mercenary.

Now it seems that this is just a story. Various signs have shown that the leader of the so-called mercenary is not someone else but Yang Chendong himself. This point has long been heard from Southern Ming, and according to surveys conducted by Northern Ming Embroidered Uniform Guard and Dongchang, the mercenaries are very powerful and should have an overseas base. It’s just that most of the Great Ming’s sea-going bases are in the territory of Southern Ming, that’s all they have the heart to investigate and are powerless.

But in any case, the matter of Yang Chendong as the leader of the mercenary has been roughly settled. Then why did Yang Chendong appear in Northern Ming Capital at such times? Doesn’t he know what is different from this approach and not at all? This is equivalent to sending it to the door for someone to kill.

As Xu Youzhen, who was first liked by Yang Chendong and spent great efforts to support him in the position of High Official, he really doesn’t know the meaning of Yang Chendong’s doing this. , This is the question. The most important thing is that this time he didn’t receive any news in advance at all. He is a traitor.

Can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out, this is the feeling of Xu Youzhen. Not only him, but other ministers also had the same idea. At least in their opinion, if they change places, they will definitely not appear in the Northern Ming capital. Must appear, that is also to bring a large army to appear, the soldiers will have deterrence only when they come to the city.

Finally someone spoke, Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction, and said to Xu Youzhen: “Xu High Official, Commander Shi has seen Duke of Zhongdan before, and now he has written a memorial. If you don’t make jokes about such things, it seems that Duke of Zhongdan should be undoubtedly.”

His Imperial Majesty said so, even if Xu Youzhen has doubts, he can’t talk about this issue. What, he can only be nodded and retreat into the class. If it is really Duke of Zhongdan, then he needs to think carefully about what to do next, but he doesn’t need to express his attitude immediately.

Xu Youzhen retired, and High Official Yi Ming of the Ministry of War did step out of the class, holding the wat board and saying: “His Imperial Majesty, if the person is really Duke of Zhongdan, Chen Qi Please interrogate this person carefully, and at the same time, let him transfer the command of the mercenary to my Northern Ming. If this happens, my Northern Ming’s military strength will be greatly increased. At that time, everything will come first. , Will not be our opponent. Not only that, but also to regain Southern Ming and dominate the world is also promising.”
