Come to Daming with military supplies

It didn't take long to wait, and soon there was a sound of complicated footsteps outside the hall, and then the voice of the little eunuch asking for instructions came over, "My Majesty, Minister of War Yiming has arrived, and I request an audience."

"Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Xu Youzhen, has arrived and asks for an audience..."

"Okay, okay, let's all come in." Jin Ying kept looking at Zhu Qiyu from the corner of his eye, and saw that although he didn't say anything, he was already impatient, so he yelled out loudly on his own initiative with.

In a short time, Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Jin Lian, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Hu Wei, Minister of Rites, Yiming, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Youzhen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Shi Pu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, entered the palace hall. In the middle, Lie Ban stands still.

In less than two years, Zhu Qiyu's regime has not changed much.In fact, it seems that there is no major issue in Beiming, and the interior is stable and united, but in fact, it is nothing but gold and jade, but it is actually a mess.

Let me talk about Zhu Qiyu's superior position first, after all, it is a special case, not a normal emperor's superior position, which has been criticized by many people below.Even three years have passed since the defeat of civil engineering, and they are still bringing up that matter, to the effect that since Yingzong is fine, he should come back to be the emperor instead of going to Nanming to be the emperor of the south, causing the powerful Daming split into two halves, and its strength also shrank significantly.

There are still people who doubt the position under the buttocks.For this reason, Jinyiwei and Dongchang put in a lot of effort and arrested a lot of people. On the surface, everything seemed calm.But once something dangerous is discovered, no one can say for sure, and no one will come out to make trouble.

The military has been training new recruits and refining firearms. These are very expensive things. At one time, the Beiming regime was unable to make ends meet, so that many officials' salaries could not be paid in time. The complaints of few people.

foreign.Needless to say, there seems to be harmony with Nanming, but who knows what kind of thoughts Zhu Qizhen has about this younger brother who has robbed the throne?It is not used now, only because of the rampant foreign invasion, but once the foreign invasion is gone, I am afraid that there will be a big battle, and the winner will be determined.

Not to mention, because of a problem with the joint business, the friendship with the Wara Department is no longer the same as before.The opponent has even sent troops to occupy the Hetao area, making the western border uneasy.At this time, another mercenary army came from the northwest, making the situation even more complicated.

All kinds of circumstances add up, and Zhu Qiyu often feels that one head is two big.Under such an environment, it is natural for the several important ministers to stay still if they can, otherwise it will only cause other panic and complicated situations.

Six ministers and one Zuodu censor were standing in the main hall, all of them looked suspicious, they couldn't figure out why the emperor would summon them in such a hurry.It seemed that the emperor had just ascended to court to discuss matters in the morning. At that time, the emperor didn't say anything. He waited for them to come home and their buttocks didn't feel hot. They were summoned in a hurry. Could it be that something urgent happened? ?

Thinking of this, the faces of the seven important ministers all changed. The first thing they thought of was that Wala was coming.Perhaps this is the only thing that can make the emperor so restless.Think about it, didn't Yingzong lose to Yexian at the beginning?

As for why no one thinks about Nan Ming and the mercenaries.It's because they are, in a sense, their own people.Now that external troubles have not been eliminated, internal troubles should not happen.

The complexions of the seven ministers changed one after another, but they were all calm, and no one said a word, waiting for the meaning of the emperor.Zhu Qiyu has long been used to this scene, and knows that these ministers are scheming people, and it is difficult for ordinary things to stimulate them.

Alright, that's it, today he will take action to stimulate them well. "Jin Ying, report the memorial to all the ministers to review one by one."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Ying agreed, and took the report sent by Shi Wanshan, and was the first to walk in front of Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, "Shangshu Wang, please have a look."

Since ancient times, the officials of the Ministry of Officials have said that they have seen the officials at the first level, and they are also known as the Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Officials, so they can't be wrong to show Wang Zhi the news first.

Wang Zhi nodded slightly reservedly, then took the memorial and began to examine it.But it was just counting the time, and the complexion was constantly changing, so it can be seen that the report must be about a big event, otherwise, the household department's heavenly officials who are not happy will become so nervous and lose their composure.

In about a dozen breaths, Wang Zhi sent the memorial back to the eunuch Jin Ying, and then the memorial was passed on to Jin Lian, Minister of the Household Department, with the same expression changing, It was no different from Wang Zhi's performance just now.

Another dozen breaths, continue to pass, the same scene appears again and again...

Zhu Qiyu sat high on the golden dragon chair, carefully observing the changing expressions on the faces of the courtiers.Whenever I see a minister about to show a gaffe, I feel extremely proud in my heart. "How is it? This time I scared you. To save me from losing my composure, you always have to teach me to be calm. Now look at you, how calm should you be?"

It took a little more time for a cup of tea, and the seven important ministers had read the memorial, and Jin Ying returned to Zhu Qiyu's side and stood aside.Emperor Daizong's voice resounded in the hall at this moment. "Everyone has seen the news, let me tell you what you think?"

The hall was silent, and no one answered the emperor's questions immediately, and everyone seemed to be digesting the news they had just received.Until Zhu Qiyu asked again impatiently, Xu Youzhen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, finally stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask, is this news true? I'm afraid it won't be someone pretending to be a loyal and brave man." ?”

It's no wonder Xu Youzhen has such doubts.Yang Chendong is no longer what he used to be.

In the battle to defend the capital after the defeat of civil engineering, Yang Chendong stood up and led the so-called mercenaries to defeat the menacing Yexian Wara tribe. At that time, there was a reason to say that this army did not belong to him because he had once rescued a He happened to be the leader of the mercenary army.

Now it seems that this is just a story.Various indications have shown that the leader of the so-called mercenary army is none other than Yang Chendong himself.This point has long been reported from Nanming, and according to the investigations of Beiming Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the mercenary forces are very large, and they should have an overseas base.It's just because most of Daming's sea-ship bases are in Nanming's territory today, so they have the heart to investigate but are powerless to do so.

But in any case, the fact that Yang Chendong is the leader of the mercenary army has been roughly settled.Then at such a time, why did Yang Chendong appear in Beijing Normal University?Doesn't he know that doing this is no different from going deep into a tiger's den?This is equivalent to sending oneself to the door to be slaughtered by others.

As Xu Youzhen, who was first favored by Yang Chendong and put a lot of effort into supporting him to the post of Shangshu, he really didn't know what was the point of Yang Chendong's doing so, and that's why he asked this question.The most important thing is that this time he didn't receive any news in advance, he is a traitor.

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out, this is Xu Youzhen's feeling.Not only him, other ministers also have the same idea.At least from their point of view, if they were to change places, they would definitely not appear in the Beijing Normal University of the Ming Dynasty.If you have to show up, you have to show up with a large army. Only when the soldiers are near the city can they have a deterrent effect.

Finally someone spoke, Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction, and said to Xu Youzhen: "Xu Shangshu, Commander Shi has met Duke Zhongdan before, and since he is in the memorial, he will not joke about such things, look It should be loyal and courageous.”

After the emperor said this, even if Xu Youzhen had doubts, he couldn't say anything about this issue, he could only nod his head, and retreated to his class.If the person who came was really loyal and courageous, then he needs to think carefully about what to do next, but he doesn't need to express his attitude immediately.

Xu Youzhen retreated, and Minister of War Yiming walked out of the class one step at a time, holding a wat board and said: "Your Majesty, if the person here is really loyal and courageous, please interrogate this person well, and at the same time Let him hand over the command of the mercenary army to my Beiming. If that happens, my Beiming's military strength will be greatly increased. At that time, what Oala, what is the first, will no longer be our opponent. Not only In this way, even if Nanming is regained, there is great hope for the unification of the world.”

Chapter 785 Waiting for Wang Si

Yiming's voice became louder and more excited, and at the end of the speech, his face flushed, obviously because of the result that made his whole body excited.

Zhu Qiyu was also excited, and his face was flushed.This is exactly the reason why he called several ministers. He originally had such an idea. Since he knew that Yang Chendong was the leader of the mercenary army, how could he not catch this person when he was sent to him?

"Okay, okay..." Excited, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but nodded again and again, but followed the voice of Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not."

"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu, who was happy, immediately showed displeasure upon hearing this.When it was clear that the person who spoke was Wang Zhi, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, the dissatisfaction on his face was fully expressed.

Wang Zhi's grandson, Wang Si, had made friends with Yang Chendong, and also went to the Yang Family Academy as the first batch of students.Not only that, during the period after Yang Chendong left Beiming, in fact, all matters related to Yang Family Academy were taken care of by this person.It can be said that this is an out-and-out Yang student and a staunch supporter of Yang Chendong.

Because of this incident, Wang Zhi has been impeached frequently in the past two years. Some say that he knows foreign countries, some say that he betrays his master for glory, and some even say that he is a dog next to Yang Chendong. Waiting to bite at any time?

Faced with these doubts, Wang Zhi never defended himself, but just did his job well.He has some appreciation for Yang Chendong, but he has absolutely never joined forces, and he has not had any contact recently.

The so-called don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.With this kind of heart, Wang Zhi still went his own way.Daizong Zhu Qiyu also had dissatisfaction with him in his heart. It was only because of Wang Zhi's outstanding ability. , may not have such a good effect.

What's more shameless to say, after so many years of being an official minister, he has already had many disciples all over the world. If he wants to attack Wang Zhi, he must not have enough eyesight. It will only lead to chaos. What Zhu Qiyu wanted to see.

But not moving Wang Zhi doesn't mean Zhu Qiyu likes him.Seeing that this person jumped out so quickly at this time, of course he was displeased, just a cold snort instead of a loud reprimand was already a matter of saving face.

Zhu Qiyu looked unhappy.Regarding this, Wang Zhi was not moved by it, what he did was only for the good of Bei Ming, as for the other things, he didn't care at all, even if he spoke at this time, he was also thinking of Bei Ming. "Your Majesty, don't be reckless. There is no serious crime on Zhongdangong, so what is the excuse to restrain him if he acts rashly? Not to mention, once Zhongdangong is moved, what will the mercenaries do? Will they tell me?" Beiming came here. Although more than half of our recruits have been formed, our combat effectiveness has not yet been fully formed. At this time, the battle with the mercenaries is really unpredictable. In this way, it will only benefit others. emperor."

What is the strength of the mercenary army, not to mention Wang Zhi going to introduce it, which one of you here doesn't know it well?If their combat power is too poor, how can they win more with less and lose more, and retreat first?How could it be so easy to defeat the Yellow bandit army that gave Nan Ming a headache?How can it easily destroy the two countries of Jiaozhi and Lancang?

Now I have come to the northwest of Beiming. I heard that a big city was built there, and they defeated Agadorji and Mobei Mongolia successively, killing and capturing [-] enemy cavalry.Looking at this result, at least it is far from what the current Beiming new army can achieve.For such an enemy, you must be careful in everything you do, otherwise, if you are not careful, it will bring disaster.

Out of such thoughts and concerns, Wang Zhi immediately stood up.And following what he said, the other courtiers hesitated, and the other ministers who originally wanted to speak, also completely shut their mouths at this time.

With their abilities, they naturally understood that Wang Zhizhi was right.If Duke Zhongdan was killed, the mercenaries would be angered, and the consequences would be unbearable for Bei Ming.At that time, it may be the time when the Northern Ming Dynasty perished and the Southern Ming Dynasty ruled the world.

For these important ministers who are used to considering gains and losses before doing things, and considering interests first, when they knew that using methods against Yang Chendong would lead to unknowable consequences, they had no choice but to remain silent and suppress the originally excited thoughts in their hearts .

After Wang Zhi expressed his attitude, the other important ministers were silent.It seemed that they were shocked by the situation in front of them, and they needed time to weigh it carefully before making a final decision.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhu Qiyu knew that it would be impossible to get a result now.At the moment, I had no choice but to say: "So, I will give you three days. After three days, everyone can write down your thoughts in a memorial and give me a preview. Now you can step back for now."

There is no persecution, so it seems that Zhu Qiyu needs time to get the news well, and then make a final decision.Fortunately, the report was submitted at an accelerated speed of 200 miles. I don't know how much faster than the speed of Yang Chendong's [-]-odd cavalry. They still have time to make preparations.

The seven important ministers knelt down on the ground, said long live the emperor, got up and left separately.But it can be seen that everyone's face is extremely heavy, showing a look of concern.

In Wang Zhi's mansion.

Not long after this Master Shangshu returned home, his grandson Wang Si strode into the main hall, "Grandfather, do you need me urgently?"

As early as on the way back home, Wang Zhi arranged for someone to go to Yangjiazhuang to inform this most valued grandson.Seeing that the grandson rushed back so quickly now, Wang Zhi couldn't help showing a hint of relief on his face.

Wang Zhi has been Minister of the Ministry of Officials for some years, and he can be regarded as a veteran of several dynasties. He once worked with San Yang, so it can be said that he has seen many scenes of the ups and downs of the aristocratic family.Eventually he got an experience.If an aristocratic family wants to pass on forever, it is useless to rely on temporary favor. Don’t you know when Sanyang was at that time, but what about now?How many people mentioned their descendants?

Of course, Yang Chendong, Yang Rong's youngest son, is an exception.Even now, Wang Zhi still can't figure out how this man made his fortune and how he created such a powerful mercenary army.

Temporary holy family members are not enough. To make the family prosperous, more talents are needed.As long as you have the ability, under the family's efforts, there will be a day when you will be in charge, and that is the long-term way to continue the glory.For this reason, Wang Zhi has always attached great importance to the cultivation of the descendants of the family, and Wang Si is the most outstanding person among the third generation he has set his eyes on.
