I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"The victory over Hongyi this time is due to the strategizing and planning of the ministers of the Ministry of War. As for the crime of negligence, let's balance the merits and demerits."

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you, thank you Your Majesty!"

"It's His Majesty who is in the middle and dispatches well, and the frontline soldiers use their lives, and Ming can win!"

Cui Chengxiu couldn't care about anything, and just kowtowed to thank her. This situation also made Yu's three military officials be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Playing brains with the emperor is obviously courting death.

What the emperor can give them, they can take it away with a flip of their hands!

Life or death is a matter of one thought!

"I want to visit the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that it is much more prosperous than this capital..." Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said:

"Since I came to the throne, I have only heard and thought about the prosperity of Jiangnan in words, but I have never seen it alone. I want to see it."

"Let them know who their emperor is!"

The four of them looked at each other, and within a split second, they all deciphered several meanings from the words.

Just now, Emperor Tianqi's seemingly complaining words were tantamount to telling them clearly, "I want to go to Jiangnan, and I will give you a few days to find a way out."

This way, of course there is!

It was not easy for the emperor to go out of Beijing. The last time he went to Southwest China personally, it was reasonable. This time, there was no reason. It seemed that he just went shopping.

Since there is no reason, if you are a confidant minister, then you have to make up a reason for the emperor's travel, which can be praised by people all over the world.

However, such a reason is not easy.

Zhu Youxiao didn't understand their doubts. What the fuck, it's not easy. Wouldn't you learn from Qian Deaf old man? Wouldn't you brag about being an emperor through the ages?

This is still taught by me?

……

In Qianqing Palace today, Zhu Youxiao clearly expressed two meanings.

First, by reprimanding Cui Chengxiu, I would like to remind several ministers of military affairs, how they got their rights, and how I can take them back.

Second, I want to learn from Qianlong in history and Jiangnan next time, but I didn't say it clearly, I just complained a few words about suffering in vague words.

Emperor Tianqi told them to go to the Qing Palace, and that's all he said.

As an emperor, there is no need to say everything thoroughly, just point it out, because the courtiers below will rack their brains to guess.

That's it for now.

Cui Chengxiu, Zhang Weixian, Wei Guangwei, and Gu Bingqian, the four military ministers gathered together as soon as they left the Qianqing Palace to discuss what to do.

The emperor didn't say a few words at all, but he asked Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, to call them one by one. If it's nothing serious, what's the matter with this big crotch.

What about walking him?

This is obviously impossible...

Now that the emperor has made it clear that he wants to "go to the south of the Yangtze River", the next step is what these confidant ministers need to do.

Several people analyzed it all night and formulated a complete plan.

First of all, the matter of going to the south of the Yangtze River cannot be said from the mouth of Emperor Tianqi, it must be mentioned by the ministers, and then the government and the opposition will agree.

Secondly, going to the south of the Yangtze River cannot be said to be a trip to the mountains and rivers, and although the emperor said lightly, he wanted to see it, but the four of them were not fools.

Going down, there must be tidying up the place along the way. This emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Wherever he goes, the forces there will probably be reshuffled!

Therefore, we must find a reason for the country and the people.

This is also simple. Now that the "Beijing News" is developing well, it first builds up public opinion and makes up a high-sounding reason for the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

"Worship the ancestors and inspect the place."

There is nothing wrong with these eight characters, and they have been used since ancient times.

Chapter 258 Lindan Batur

The four military ministers stayed up all night, made a plan overnight, and then hurriedly slept for a while, and got up quickly when they heard the distant and long bell from Ouchi.

The next day, the four military ministers with dark circles under their eyes came to the court meeting on time.

When they were on the road, they were already drowsy. Standing there, it was really difficult to open their eyes, let alone their energy.

Since the construction of the three main halls has not yet been completed, Maoqin Hall was chosen as the location for this court meeting. During the lecture the day before, Zhu Youxiao attended lectures all day long here.

After the daily lectures stopped, it became the emperor's "study".

Because the current court meeting is no longer held every day like it used to be. Whenever something happens, Emperor Tianqi will send the eunuchs who are in charge of ceremonies to the homes of the ministers and notify them door to door.

In the absence of notification, the ministers knew that there was no major event recently, and unless they asked to see each other, the others were happy to be quiet, staying at home, and doing whatever they wanted.

"Chen, there is a play!"

All the ministers had just joined the shift, and before the voice of the emcee eunuch shouted at the palace gate could be heard, someone stood up.

Zhu Youxiao squinted over and saw that it was Feng Quan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry who had just entered the position this year, and was currently supervising the corridor area of ​​the reconstruction project of the Three Great Halls.

"speak."

"On behalf of the warriors in the world, I thank Your Majesty in advance!"

While speaking, Zhu Youxiao was also paying attention to the courtier in front of him. This name is very familiar, and anyone who is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty will definitely not know it.

Feng Quan, courtesy name Boheng, also known as Zhenlu, nicknamed Lu'an, was born in Zhuozhou, was born as a Jinshi, and was first awarded a review. In the second year of Tianqi, he flattered Wei Zhongxian.

Feng Quan, who was 27 years old at the time, had just entered Beijing this year as an official, and it was precisely with the intention of showing his ambitions.

There was light in his eyes, and he bowed to salute, Lang Lang said:

"The battle in the Liao region is progressing slowly. Although there are naval battles in the Penghu area, but the red-haired Fanyi can't get out of the fort, they can't win in a hurry. If this drags on, the military expenditure will be another expenditure."

"As far as the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, Wu Mou is underestimated. He looks up to civil servants and is nothing more than a slave. The mutiny in Hangzhou this year is a true portrayal of the disharmony between civil and military!"

"Your Majesty thinks that His Majesty's most urgent task is to recruit warriors from all over the world and announce the court's intention to reuse military officials. The reorganization is comparable to the strong army of the Sichuan, Zhejiang and Liao divisions in the Jiajing Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao became energetic, his eyes sparkled, and he slapped the case with his palms. The sudden arrival of the emperor frightened several drowsy military ministers.

"Prelude!"

Without extra consideration, Zhu Youxiao directly approved the proposal of the Minister of Industry, sat down and said:

"Look, this is the advice that benefits the country!"

"If the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are all such heartfelt words, it is too late for me to court day and night, so why stop the court?"

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao looked at Feng Quan again, and said:

"What Qing said is that I will publish a list and write an article to announce my wishes to the world."

"From now on, we will choose a location in Beijing, set up a martial arts lecture hall, and recruit all warriors from all over the world to be officials. It is between mountains and forests, grasslands, as long as you are a hero who is loyal and good at archery, you can come to sign up."

"Whoever has real materials, I will reuse them!"

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Feng Quan was stunned.

In fact, he has indeed seen the ills of civil and military disharmony in various places today, so he bit the bullet to remind and discuss.

But he didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi was so genuine that he thought of it with himself and directly set up a martial arts lecture hall in Beijing. This is much better than the so-called empty papers of the imperial court saying that they will reuse Wu Mou from now on.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Feng Quan really admired the emperor's courage and decisiveness.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, then sneered, and said:

"Xiong Tingbi defended the Liao Dynasty without losing a single place. Later, Liaoyang discussed the war and He Shixian went out of the city because he also listened to what the civil servants in Shenyang had said."

"Wang Huazhen went to guard Guangning instead, and it took less than half a year, a complete defeat!"

"The Battle of Guangning, in my heart, I will never forget even a single day. This kind of humiliation will sooner or later make those barbarians outside the pass pay for it with blood!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao clenched his fist with his left hand and hammered it on the case.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, kneeling down one after another, shouting "Your Majesty take care of the dragon body", "Your Majesty calm down", and so on, which made Zhu Youxiao even more annoyed.

When Feng Quan entered the class, and those who came out, they usually mentioned trivial matters in various places.

There was a flood in this land, and there had been drought in that land for years, or the army in a certain guard had mutinied, and the Mongolian tribes in Monan joined forces with Chahar to invade and plunder, and the Datong city attacked grass valleys.

Nothing else has attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention. He has been emperor for more than two years, and he has heard that he has encountered too many natural and man-made disasters.

The current Zhu Youxiao has long since been at a loss in the beginning, and has become commonplace.

It's only been two years since the apocalypse, and because the effects of the Little Ice Age are deepening day by day, in the next 20 years, there will only be more and more disasters like this in Ming Dynasty.

What made Zhu Youxiao pay more attention was the fact that the Chahar tribe joined forces with the Mongolian tribes to invade Datong. This thing must be dealt with as soon as possible.

The current Khan of the Chahar Tribe, the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire, is a young man named Lindan Batur, who is about the same age as Feng Quan, and is less than 30 years old this year.

This person is called "Lin Dan Khan" by later generations.

Of course, people don’t call it this name now. The honorary titles given by the Mongolian tribes are "Holy Khan", "Saint", and "Holy One".

The current Ming Dynasty translates it as Huduntuhan.

The reason, of course, is that the area where Chahar is currently grazing is called Huduntu in Daming. As the sweat of Huduntu, Lindan Batuer, naturally he is called Huduntu Khan.

Although this Huduntu Khan sounds cute, but as the current Khan of the Mongolian Empire, Lin Danbatur himself is not cute at all.

On the contrary, as a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, the 7th grandson of Dayan Khan, and the son of a pure-blooded gold family, Lindan Batur's achievements at the age of 28 are beyond the reach of the previous great Khan's combined lifetimes.

After the death of Buyan Chechen Khan (Bu Yantai Zhou), his son Manggu died prematurely, and the throne of the Mongolian Empire fell to his eldest grandson Lindan Batur.

In the 32nd year of Wanli, Lin Dan Batur was only 13 years old when he succeeded Khan.

Ever since Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Yuan court, the Mongol Empire fell apart and the Khan power has been weak for nearly 300 years. The so-called Great Khan is just a symbol.

When Lindan Batur succeeded to the throne, the Horqin Tribe, Neikalkha Tribe, Tumut Tribe, and the Ordos Tribes in Monan all acted independently and worshiped the Great Khan in name.

As the Great Khan of Mongolia, Lindanbatur can actually only control the Chahar headquarters in Liaohetao, and some small tribes attached to Chahar, and they are only regarded as nominal co-lords by the Monan tribes.

Compared with the Horqin, Inner Khalkha, and Tumed, which at least worshiped the Great Khan in the Monan Mongolian tribes, the five Outer Khalkha tribes that ruled the Mobei did even better.

When Lin Danbatur succeeded to the throne, the Khan of the five tribes of Outer Khalkha publicly declared that the Mongolian Empire had been in decline for a long time, and the Mongolian Khan was no longer the co-lord of the Mongolian tribes, and refused to respect him.

On the contrary, among the five tribes outside Khalkha, four have close contacts with the emerging Jianzhou Jurchen tribe and the Horqin tribe who are also close to Jianzhou.

In the direction of Moxi, the same is true for the Oirat Department, which publicly declared that the strength of the Golden Family is no longer. Although the Chahar Department is still the majority, its strength is not enough to rule the entire Mongolia.

At the beginning of Lin Danbatur's succession to the throne, the Ming Empire, known as the powerful, had not yet failed in the Battle of Sarhu, and it was still enough to deter the entire Mongolia.

At that time, the Jianzhou Jurchen had already begun to try to make peace with Horqin, Waikalkha and other tribes. Monan Mongolia despised Jianzhou at first.

But since the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in the Battle of Sarhu, the opinion of Horqin, the second largest department in Monan, has changed drastically.

They went to plead guilty to Nurhachi and asked him to forgive their wrong decision to attack Jianzhou with Daming and Yehe.

For the sake of sincerity, the Horqin Ministry offered to make an eternal alliance with Jianzhou and take the initiative to conclude an marriage relationship.

From that time on, Lin Dan Khan was in a very difficult situation, because he found that not only the five tribes of Waikha, but even the tribes in Monan who regarded himself as the co-lord began to fall to Jianzhou.

Lindan Batur was an ambitious person. He even accepted Emperor Wanli's suggestion on the eve of the Sarhu War, and gave Nurhachi an ultimatum as the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire.

He warned Jianzhou not to violate the territory of Ming Dynasty, otherwise, the Chahar tribe would unite with the Mongolian tribes to crusade against Jianzhou.

However, Lindan Batur did not expect it.

Not only did he fail, but even Daming, who had just finished fighting the war against Japanese aggressors and aiding Korea, suffered a fiasco.

Of course, in Lin Danhan's view, this is tantamount to being "slapped" in the face by Nurhachi.

As a proud descendant of the golden family and a direct descendant of a generation of Tianjiao, Lindan Batur could not tolerate Nurhachi, the former lowly slave of Li Chengliang, crawling on the head of his majestic Mongolian Khan to shit.

Since then, Lindan Batur and Nurhachi have been sworn enemies.

Chapter 259 Lianmeng Anti-gold

Lin Danbatur called himself "Batulu Genghis Khan, the lord of 40 Mongolian kingdoms", called Nurhachi "the lord of [-] Jurchens by the water", and warned the Jin army not to invade Guangning.

At that time, Nurhachi was taking the "odd goods" Zaisai captured in the Battle of Tieling as a hostage, threatening Neikalkha to form an alliance with Houjin, and had no time to deal with the diplomatic issues with Lindan Batur.

After the Battle of Sarhu, Neikalka, like the Horqin tribe, changed their attitude and began to move closer to Houjin. Nurhaci also formally formed an alliance with the two ministries the following year, and released Xinsai voluntarily to show his sincerity.

Nurhaci, who won the support of the two major ministries of Neikarka and Horqin through alliances and marriages, felt that he could do it, so under the instigation of the traitor Fan Wencheng, he officially returned a "credentials" to Lin Danbatur.
