Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty
Chapter 177 Preparing to Cut the Domain
Chapter 177 Preparing to Cut the Domain
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were immersed in the joy of Liu Daxia's return, but Zhu Houzhao was thinking about another matter.
At present, the power in Liaodong has basically stabilized. Wang Shouren drove all the Jianzhou Jurchens into the Xing'an Mountains, and all that was left was to wait. As soon as winter came, those Jianzhou Jurchens would all freeze to death.
The winter in Northeast China is extremely cold, especially at this time, when the third small ice age in Chinese history is coming.
Now, the problem Zhu Houzhao is facing has instead become an internal worry, that is, the various vassal princes.
Unexpectedly, he had so few generals at hand.
When he was inspecting the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he suddenly found that the Chinese officials in the court were indeed full of talents, and he could give him advice by pulling out any one, but the generals were scarce.
It seems that to deal with these vassal kings, the current manpower and resources are far from enough. It is the best policy to select and cultivate some talented people from among these new generals who can be worthy of great responsibilities.
The most important thing in the court recently is the training of generals, and these generals can only be found in the Five Armies Protectorate, so it is not easy to select four or five generals who can be used.
As for the Empress Dowager's decree just received, Zhu Houzhao felt that it was not the time for the selection of the harem and the selection of the empress. He is only 16 years old now, and he does not want to talk about the matter of procreation.
Ever since Qi Jingtong reported to him last time that the Kwantung feudal lord started imitating the Daming artillery, his heart has always been in a shadow.
This prince is not easy to deal with!
The Ming Dynasty has a lesson from the past. The living example of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di is there. If it is not eradicated, it is estimated that there will be endless troubles.
Inside the Qianqing Palace.
Yuhuatian was dressed in pure white clothes, like a lotus flower blooming alone in Ling Han on the top of a mountain.At this time, he was kneeling at Zhu Houzhao's feet, and after listening to Zhu Houzhao's reprimand.
"I asked you to investigate the civil vassal, how is the progress?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister has already investigated all of them clearly, and according to the data reported from various places, it is consistent with the information kept by Daming now."
"Well, it's a good job!"
As for the two superintendents of the East and West Factory, if he has nothing to do on weekdays, he will basically not announce them, because they are the two sharp swords of Daming, and generally there is no need to let them out of their sheaths easily, but sometimes they are in danger. At the critical moment, the sharp sword was drawn out, but once the sword is out of the sheath, blood must be seen!
Zhu Houzhao is going to try this sharp sword today, is he getting old now after the last setback?
The entire Qianqing Palace is full of cold killing intent. Since Zhengde ascended the throne, the problem of ink corruption in the court has been cleared up by means of killing. Although some corrupt officials were killed, the interests of a vassal were not touched from the beginning to the end.
In the later land reform, vassal princes from all over the country more or less intervened in national policies, but, however, this did not touch the fundamental interests of those vassal princes fundamentally. On the premise that it did not violate Zhu Houzhao's interests, the court also opened their hands. Close one eye.
But now, it is not as simple as implementing new reforms and abolishing the old system, but that these feudal lords are likely to change.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old emperor, some veteran princes, really couldn't put him in their eyes.If the reforms do not stop for a day, the position of the Ming monarch is likely to be unstable for a day.
However, there is no reason to cut down the vassal right now. Hearing what Qi Jingtong said, isn't this King Lu the best idea?
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, and said to Yuhuatian in a deep voice: "As far as I know, King Lu's family has hidden a lot of firearms, and he secretly recruited troops and recruited navy for his use. On the surface, there are [-] navies. , but it’s actually more than that.”
"During the time I was away, you were too comfortable, this is the factory owner's seat."
Whenever the Son of Heaven has something important to do, he always likes to talk about people's vital interests. This is also the way people use people.
After Yuhuatian listened, sweat was already seeping on his forehead. What does it mean that the boss of the factory is the best?
"Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty told the minister that all the matters have been done in full, and I dare not slack off a little bit. Please check it out!" Yu Huatian was already sweating, and he did not expect Zhu Houzhao to speak. It's about his weakness.
After a pause, Zhu Houzhao continued: "King Lu's fiefdom is in Xifengkou, and the local supervisor and governor have not fulfilled their duties. I have already ordered Qi Jingtong to investigate."
"However, there must be someone in the court who will respond internally. What I want you to do is to find out all these officials in the court and let them tell the purpose of King Lu's making artillery and buying the navy."
"This time, if you don't move, it's enough. If you understand, I will uproot it from the root!"
"Do you know what I mean?"
"Returning to His Majesty, His Majesty has already said it clearly enough, I would like to obey the sacred order!"
It has always been Yuhuatian's nature not to talk much.
After listening to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, he got up from the ground, bowed and exited the Qianqing Palace.
Since the vassal king can secretly manufacture arms and form his own army, in addition to the support of local officials, it is more of the support of the court insiders.
If there is no inner ghost, how can they know the method used by the imperial court to make arms?
Besides, if there is no supply from the ghosts in the court, where did King Talu get so much gunpowder and iron?For so many years, the imperial court's arms have been strictly controlled. You must know that the royal family has always been very strict in arms management.
Originally, Zhu Houzhao wanted to summon the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War and other ministers together, and wanted to thoroughly find out the supply of firearms, but he changed his mind and thought, don't make such a big noise. If the king is vigilant, his success will fall short in the end.
If they were to be woken up while the tiger was taking a nap now, things would be in serious trouble later on.
Sitting on the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao's handsome face showed the air of an emperor. Although he was only 16 years old, his gestures showed an emperor's demeanor.
At the same time, in Hulong Villa.
Tiedan God Hou Zhu ignored the gossip, saying that the court had already attacked the vassal king.
Before that, he knew everything about Shen Wanqian's accident. The reason why he didn't kill him directly was that His Majesty still thought that Shen Wanqian was a talent.
However, knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, who can guarantee that one day they will be included in the liquidation?
What Shen Wanqian said is quite right, it is still too late to recruit troops and buy horses to prepare for rebellion, not to mention the great talent and strategy of this young prince, just his decisiveness in killing is enough to make people tremble with fear.
Zhu Wushi stared at the ceiling. He really couldn't think of any way to get rid of the shackles of the court. The only thing he could do was to bow down to Zhu Houzhao seriously. Can't even blink an eyelid.
Zhu Wushi thought for a while, if His Majesty strikes first, will he be the first to deal with him?
Thinking of this, Hou Zhu, God of Tiedan, ignored his back and felt a chill.
Turning to look around, there was no one around.
His four disciples, Shangguan Haitang is now missing, and Duan Tianya is also a little disheartened. These two disciples are basically in a state of depression because of their emotional damage.
