The Most Powerful Man in the World

Whether it was Yu Dayou or Gu Dayong, they straightened their clothes when they heard the movement outside. At the same time, a figure dressed in brocade walked in, not Zhu Houzhao or who it was.

"Last General Yu Dayou, meet your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "General Yu doesn't need to hold ceremony!"

Gu Dayong stepped forward and said, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the hidden treasure in the secret vault, and finally his eyes fell on the newly brought in boxes. These boxes were sealed with seals. There are a few boxes that have been opened at this time, you can see The neatly placed gold ingots in the box.

These gold ingots look so attractive, especially under the beating of the candlelight, these gold and silver flicker slightly, which is naturally attractive.

With a light cough, Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, glanced at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu's companion, have you checked it out?"

Gu Dayong hurriedly said: "Report to Your Majesty, the inventory is being counted, and the results will come out soon."

Zhu Houzhao nodded lightly and said, "Continue, I will wait for you to count the results!"

Gu Dayong and Yu Dayou started to count the gold and silver again, and almost half an hour later, the two finally counted all the boxes.

Now that Zhu Houzhao has drank a few cups of tea, Gu Dayong said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the result is out, a total of [-] million taels of silver, [-] taels of gold, a total of [-] million taels of silver! "

Zhu Houzhao raised his brows, even if he knew it for a long time, when he was really sure, Zhu Houzhao was still deeply moved.

Even though Chu Yi is far away from the ocean, the way he does things still warms his heart.

Whether these tens of millions of taels of silver are placed in the national treasury or in the royal treasury, it is a great blessing for the country, but staying in the royal treasury is obviously of great benefit to Zhu Houzhao.Tens of millions of taels of silver, I don't know how many things can be done.

in the imperial study

After the royal vault came out, Zhu Houzhao summoned Yu Dayou in the imperial study.

Yu Dayou looked at the secret letter in his hand with a bit of amazement on his face. Although he had known for a long time how much the emperor Zhu Houzhao valued and trusted Chu Yi, but now that Zhu Houzhao warned him, he must hand over the secret letter to Chu Yi. One can imagine the feelings of Chu Yi and Yu Dayou.

It was a sunny day and the weather was sunny. As a group of soldiers blocked the city gate, the pedestrians who were passing through were isolated, and then they saw a group of people pouring out of the Forbidden City and in an empty space. The land gathered.

The [-] army, after more than half a year of training, the newly expanded [-] army already has a bit of military temperament, but they have never been on the battlefield and have seen blood, so these soldiers seem to be missing something.

In fact, as long as a general who has experience in leading troops sees these soldiers, they can judge whether these soldiers are recruits or veterans.

According to Yang Yiqing and Zhu Houzhao's intentions, this time an additional [-] troops will be sent to Dongying.

Although it was said that the so-called big names in the land of Dongying had quite a few men, their combat effectiveness was not to be admired at all, otherwise it would not have been easy for Chu Yi to pacify more than a dozen countries.

Apparently, Chu Yi killed a lot of Dongying alien races, and also captured a lot of strong men and sent them to the mines.

Chu Yi himself came flying across the sea, and the number of soldiers he brought with him was only [-]. Excluding those companions who died when they were not lucky enough to fight, Chu Yi still had nearly [-] soldiers.

The number of [-] seems to be quite a lot, but if the personnel are scattered casually, the result is that there are only less than [-] soldiers and horses in Chu Yi's hands.

Tens of thousands of horses are actually not too few. The key is to defend them. Once he takes the initiative to attack, Chu Yi is not worried that he will not be able to destroy those big and small states. place.

It is said that there are many gold and silver mines in Dongying, and Chu Yi destroyed more than a dozen large and small states. Except for some of the silver grains, the rest came from the mines.

More than a dozen large and small mines have been deposited, and each mine must be guarded by hundreds or even thousands of soldiers. Otherwise, the thousands of slaves would not have escaped one by one.

Obviously, the imperial court dispatched [-] troops to Dongying this time. On the one hand, it can solve the problem of the shortage of people under Chu Yi.

If it is said that in the previous expedition against Dongying, there were not many officials who really paid attention to this point, but now it is very different. The millions of taels of silver grain really exceeded the expectations of many civil servants and military generals. The most important thing is Chu Yi actually occupies so many gold and silver mines, which means that this is not a one-shot deal, but a steady stream of gold and silver items that can be obtained from the mines.

Millions and tens of millions of taels of silver in a year are really tempting. Except for a very few people in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, it can be said that most people became excited from the initial objection or indifference. stand up.

The [-]-strong army came from the suburbs of Beijing, and together with some generals selected by the imperial court, more than [-] men and horses gathered in one place.

On the high platform, Zhu Houzhao looked down at the army that was so dark that he couldn't see the edge at all, and couldn't help showing a bit of excitement in his eyes.

Several important officials such as Yang Yiqing, Zhang Mao, Jiao Fang and others stood by Zhu Houzhao's side, only to hear Zhu Houzhao speak: "Generals, Japanese pirates invaded my coastal areas, plundered my Daming maritime merchants, and killed people like hemp. The great disaster of the Ming Dynasty, the general manager Chu Yi has sent fifty thousand troops to Dongying, and today I will personally send all the soldiers. I hope that all of you will be victorious and return triumphant. Bye everyone."

"Long live Your Majesty, Great Ming Wansheng!"

With a shout, all the soldiers shouted incessantly. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses shouted in unison. The voice was so loud that most of the capital could hear it clearly. I don't know how many people who didn't know were heard by this sudden shout. was startled.

Chapter four hundred and seventy-one is as useful as a traitor

7 For the people of Daming, Dongying is the land of the barbarians. How could it be possible to compare with the Ming Dynasty? Similarly, these soldiers did not take Dongying to heart psychologically. It can be said that they contempt for any country other than Daming. It is the pride of Daming.

Although it is said that during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Mengyuan sent hundreds of thousands of troops to expedition to Dongying and all ended in failure, but no one thinks that this is because Dongying is powerful, and more people blame the generals and the climate.

Moreover, Daming was able to drive out even Mengyuan from the Central Plains, how could it be possible to take a small foreign country like Dongying to heart.

Did not see that the chief general led a [-]-strong army to attack the city in the land of Dongying, easily destroyed more than a dozen large and small countries, and harvested millions of taels of combat power.

Therefore, in the eyes of a group of soldiers, being able to go to Dongying is the military merit and reward that you have obtained. Just look at the young general Yu Dayou, just because he fell into the eyes of Chu Yi, all the way to the sky, and now he has entered the eyes of the emperor. The future has a bright future.

They don't want to be able to enter the eyes of Chu Yi like Yu Dayou, they just want to go to Dongying to make military exploits, at any rate to rise to such a level, and then get some reward silver is enough.

When an army goes on an expedition, it is natural to have a general commander. Although it is said that the [-]-strong army will return to Chu Yi and obey Chu Yi's dispatch when it arrives in Dongying, but before that, there must be a general commander.

After several turmoils and previous wars, the Ming military has produced a lot of generals and talents. The most prominent ones are Wang Shouren, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the generals who go out and enter the cabinet, who are in charge of the military department. Yang Yiqing.

Indifferently, one of these two is in charge of the war to pacify the south, and the other is in charge of the military department, but they cannot be taken lightly when they are at ease. However, this does not mean that there are no talents available in the army.

When it comes to qualifications, Han Kun, who is in charge of the four guards of Tengxiang and has experienced several turmoils, has enough qualifications, but neither Chu Yi nor Zhu Houzhao can easily let Han Kun leave the capital.

The situation in the capital still requires the four guards of Tengxiang to sit in command, so Han Kun, one of the confidants of the emperor, naturally wants to sit in the capital.

Zhu Houzhao took Zhai Luan as the commander-in-chief of this army. Zhai Luan was born in the Jinyiwei family, and he belonged to the emperor's personal guard. He was nearly forty years old. The Ministry of War, patrolling the nine sides, has power only under Yan Song.

In this life, because of Chu Yi's chaotic entry, the fate of many people has naturally changed. He was awarded a jinshi in the Hongzhi Dynasty, but Zhai Luan, who did not emerge until the Jiajing period, stood out early.

After all, when Chu Yi cleaned up the court, he killed a considerable number of ministers of civil and military affairs, and naturally he gave many younger and newcomers a channel to ascend.

After several battles, Zhai Luan rose step by step in the army by virtue of his own ability. Perhaps his military achievements were better than those of Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and other generals who were in charge, but he showed his ability as a commander.

This time Zhu Houzhao valued Zhai Luan's composure and commanding ability, so he handed over a hundred thousand troops to his commander. After all, from Daming to Dongying, across the ocean, the generals who command the army need enough composure, not that He was a fierce general who charged into the battle, so many of the famous generals in the dynasty were defeated, but the lesser known Zhai Luan stood out.

Zhai Luan, dressed in military uniform, stood on the high platform and respectfully took the Tiger Talisman from Zhu Houzhao. Hundreds of generals behind him bowed to Zhai Luan.

Zhai Luan received the salute of the soldiers of the three armies, and then turned around to pay tribute to Zhu Houzhao.

The sound of the cannons shook the sky, and the army slowly pulled out. Watching the continuous army slowly go away, Zhu Houzhao and a group of civil and military officials returned.

Ten Kingdoms of Eastern Kinki

The Kinki region can be said to be the political center of the Eastern Region. The Emperor of the Eastern Region lived in Shangjing, Kyoto. Although it is said that after the Yingren Rebellion, the land of Kinki was desolate, but over the past few decades, despite the continuous conquests of the Eastern Regions, the land of Kinki is unique because of its uniqueness. status and gradually revived.

The ten Kinki countries include Omi, Yamashiro, Yamato, Iga, Hanoi, Izumi, Settsu, Kii, Tamba, and Tango.

The Ming army successively broke through more than ten countries including Izumo, Iwami, and Anyi in the Eastern Ying, shaking the entire Eastern Ying for a while.

If the destruction of Ishijian and Anyi did not attract the attention of these daimyo who were busy with conquests at first, when Chu Yi sent people to expand and destroy more than a dozen large and small countries one after another, Dongying was shocked.

In particular, Chu Yi's attack route was clearly heading towards Kinki. After the Yingren Rebellion, the emperor's authority had plummeted. However, the capital of the capital was the capital of the Eastern Ying Kingdom.

Just as Beijing is compared to Ming Dynasty, occupying the capital of a country will occupy the initiative, and then Oda Nobunaga will occupy the land of Kinki, and he will take the emperor to command the princes.

Chu Yi came straight to the capital, apparently with the same idea. Perhaps because of his status, even if he occupies the land of Kinki, he cannot command the great names of all parts of the east, but the capital of a country is destroyed. The meaning is extraordinary.

Obviously, the ten countries of Kinki, Shejin, Shancheng, and Hanoi were the first to bear the brunt.

With the destruction of Izumo and Anyi, the daimyo family in charge of these countries was destroyed, and a large number of people were demoted to slaves, but it broke the hope of some people talking.

The country of Setsu was the first to bear the brunt, facing the front of the Ming Dynasty. When the news came, the country was in chaos, but at this time, the country of Setsu was in a period of power struggle between the Hosokawa clan and the Miyoshi clan. The Hosokawa clan, who was guarded by the country of Settsu, gradually lost its power after the Onin Rebellion and was captured by the Miyoshi clan. If nothing happens, the power of the country of Settsu will fall into the hands of the Miyoshi clan in ten or twenty years. .

However, just at this time, Chu Yi led the army into the East and approached the land of Kinki. The two parties, who had been fighting for the power of the Setsu Kingdom, decisively chose to cooperate when faced with the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Setsu West Mountain, a quaint temple, filled with sandalwood, and the sound of Sanskrit is faint. It is a Honganji Temple with a very high influence in Setsu and even in the Kinki countries.

The Honganji family had great influence in Kinki, and even in their heyday they could influence the direction of a country. This is most evident in Settsu.

Honganji Temple was built with Setsu Nishiyama. If there is any place in Setsu state where the Hosokawa clan and Miyoshi clan can relax and sit down for peace talks, then Honganji Temple is the holy place.

The contemporary Honganji Dharma Master Cheng Ruo looked at the two people sitting in front of him, Hosokawa Chengyuan and Miyoshi Miyoshi. It can be said that the three people present represent the three major forces of Settsu, Honganji, Miyoshi, Hosokawa.

The entire Settsu country is completely under the control of the three families. In the face of the sharp edge of the Ming Dynasty, it is needless to say that the three families are the most anxious.

Compared to the fact that the power of Honganji spreads over the ten Kinki countries, it is the Miyoshi clan and the Hosokawa clan who really feel the threat. These two are really rooted in the Setsu country. If something goes wrong in the Setsu country, then The two families will inevitably decline or perish with the fall of the Setsu Kingdom.

The Dharma Master looked at Hosokawa Chengyuan and Miyoshi Yuanchang with a calm expression as if he folded his hands together, and said slowly, "You two, why are you two meeting here today? The poor monk doesn't say anything about the fact that both of them have a clue in their hearts."

Hosokawa Chengyuan took a deep breath and glanced at Miyoshi Yuan Chang, his eyes couldn't help showing a bit of unwillingness. If there were really other options, Hosokawa Cheng Yuan would never be willing to sit in the same room with Miyoshi Yuan Chang. Their Hosokawa clan has been passed down for generations, and it can be said that they have always been in control of the Setsu Kingdom, but now they are facing the Miyoshi clan's seizure of power.

The Miyoshi clan itself was born as a retainer of the Hosokawa clan. Now that it has become strong, it actually means to backlash against the master. Hosokawa Chengyuan looked at the head of Miyoshi, and it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

Miyoshi Yuanchang's mood is also not very good. If there is no change, it will take a few years for the entire Setsu country to fall into the hands of their Miyoshi clan.

Both Miyoshi Yuanchang and Hosokawa Chengyuan are not fools. The news spread, and the news of the collapse of Izumo, An Yi, Iwami and other countries brought them great pressure.

Hosokawa Chengyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Master Miyoshi, I, the Hosokawa clan, are not afraid of your Miyoshi clan. The reason that I can see you at Hongan Temple this time is to jointly resist the invasion of Daming. Once the soldiers and horses of Daming are repelled, I, the Hosokawa clan, will never let you Miyoshi clan go."

Miyoshi Yuanchang couldn't help but sneer when he heard the words: "This is exactly what I want to say to you."

Master Cheng Ru didn't interject at all, but looked at Miyoshi Yuanchang and Hosokawa Chengyuan arguing with a calm expression. As long as the two did not fight, then there would be no problem.He also believes that the two companies will make the right choice when they have foreign enemies.

After half a day, Miyoshi Yuanchang and Hosokawa Chengyuan left Hongan Temple, and just looking at their expressions, it was obvious that they had reached an unanimous agreement.

At the juncture of life and death, the Miyoshi clan and Hosokawa clan, who were temporarily negotiating for peace, mobilized their troops at the same time. If the two parties had been in a confrontation or a state of open and secret fighting before, then the two parties took the initiative to break away from the confrontation and entanglement. To the north of Tianjin.

The two major families actually mobilized almost tens of thousands of troops to try to stop the Ming troops and horses coming straight to the capital.

At the same time that the entire Setsu country made a defensive posture, other surrounding countries such as Hanoi and Shancheng also paid attention to the troubles of the Setsu country.

Although it is said that the strength of the country of Setsu is not the strongest among the surrounding countries, this is also the first time that the ten countries of Kinki have faced off against Chu Yi's troops, so many countries are silently watching, trying to pass the country of Setsu to the Ming Dynasty. The battle between the horses is to judge the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when the Kingdom of Setsu was almost mobilized, and was always preparing to prevent Daming from invading the Kingdom of Setsu, the vanguard army came to an abrupt end when it was about dozens of miles away from the Kingdom of Setsu.

About [-] soldiers and horses of the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty were stationed outside the country of Shejin, and they looked like they were camping.

This time, almost every general who accompanied Chu Yi in his expedition against Dongying had obtained the post of pioneer and had the merit of destroying the country.

This time, the pioneer was also a general, and it was Chang Kui. It was said that his ancestor was Chang Yuchun. Of course, few people believed this.

However, it doesn't matter whether Chang Kui Zu Shang has anything to do with Chang Yuchun, a fierce general, what matters is that Chang Kui is indeed a general.

Those who can be chosen by Chu Yi to be the vanguard are at least bold and careful generals who are quite capable of commanding, otherwise, it is impossible to value them more than Chu Yi.

Chang Kui looked ahead, and within a few dozen miles, he could enter the Kingdom of Sejin, but according to Chu Yi's instructions, Chang Kui had to stop.

For Chu Yi's order, Chang Kui, as a vanguard general, is naturally clear in his heart.

It's not that Chu Yi didn't want to attack the capital directly and occupy the political core of Dongying. However, Chu Yi and the others were surprised to find that there were fewer and fewer soldiers available. There are dozens of mines with rich gold and silver deposits.

Even if only a few hundred people are assigned to each mine, it would require tens of thousands of people. In addition, the Ming army destroyed as many as a dozen countries in the East, so there must be some people left in these places, otherwise , once the remnants of the countries who have fled into the mountains and forests are killed, it will also be a lot of trouble.

It seems that there is no problem with the rampage of [-] troops in the land of Dongying, but at most it is to severely damage Dongying. As for the destruction of Dongying, it is not realistic to occupy those rich gold and silver mines.Especially when the remnants of many countries are hiding in the dark and are always fighting back.
