Seeing this, Norbu felt relieved. It seemed that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was still interested in Uszang. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be angry!

This is exactly what he would love to see!

This expression was naturally performed by Zhu Youxiao for him, and then he snorted coldly:

"From this point of view, there is no point in keeping the titles of the four Dharma Kings and the mages who believe in the Red Sect."

"You go back and convey what I mean, and say that I have deprived them of their titles, and those who want to keep them, come to the capital to plead guilty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sageness!" Norbu said gratefully, and then his face became troubled, "It's just that, Your Majesty, if this order is passed on, I'm afraid the Dharma Kings won't listen..."

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, "Do they dare?"

Nuoer preached: "It's not that His Majesty lacks the power of heaven, it's just that since Jiajing, the imperial court has withdrawn all the civil servants in Tibet. The people in Tibet have heard of the imperial court's management for a long time!"

"The fourth Dalai Lama implores Your Majesty to garrison Uzang, re-establish the Uzang Capital Division, and send civil and military officials to rectify the evil cult monks!"

Garrison Uzbek?

This is indeed a good way to manage U-Tsang, but U-Tsang is too big, and if you want to garrison troops for a long time, you have to bring the capital, guards, and civil servants there.

A state capital cannot be established in that kind of place, and the monk chieftain system must be followed to ensure short-term stability.

In this way, too much manpower and material resources will be involved. At the very least, if U-Tsang wants to maintain stability, it must have at least 20 permanent troops.

What's more, at this moment, the Tsangpa Khan has captured most of Uz-Tibet, and the fourth Dalai Lama is like a puppet, almost an independent regime.

To eliminate such a force is not much more difficult than directly sending troops to destroy Jiannu. Even Gushi Khan spent more than ten years in history.

The only difference is that the soldiers of Tsangba Khan are definitely not as capable in combat as the Jurchen Eight Banners, but most of the Ming army will also be acclimatized, and it is not easy.

In addition, who to send is also a problem!

The leading general must be able to hold back and not be weak. The price of returning to such an exhausting expedition without success is too high.

Based on the current situation of Ming Dynasty, if he loses this opportunity to intervene in the garrison Uzang, at least in the next five years, he will not be able to spare no effort to meddle in the affairs of the Northwest.

Also, now that the troops have been dispatched, there must also be a targeted welfare measure for the soldiers who are stationed in Uzang and far away from the Central Plains.

Otherwise, who is so far away, leaving his hometown to guard the northwest for you, using love to generate electricity?

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Juzheng didn't re-establish the Wusi Zangdu Division and the Duo Gandu Division. It is indeed not so easy to do it.

Chapter 648 Hunting Nanhaizi

Hearing now, Zhu Youxiao has basically understood the current situation of Wu Sizang.

There are only two choices, or wait for the historical Gushi Khan to make a fortune, defeat Uzang by himself, and then return to the Central Plains.

Either start first and completely hold Uzang and Qinghai in your hands.

In fact, either one will do, but now Gushi Khan is still a 13-year-old kid, and it will take at least 20 years for him to unify Uzbek and Qinghai.

Wait another 20 years, and anything can happen.

Firstly, Zhu Youxiao couldn’t afford to wait, and secondly, he didn’t have the time to sit and wait to collect the money. He sent troops out by himself, took back the land, and made a new wave of achievements. Isn’t it good?

Norbu looked at the frowning Emperor Tianqi, feeling guilty.

He also understands that there is no need for Daming to take care of U-Tsang now, after all no civil servants have been sent there for decades.

While hesitating, Zhu Youxiao did not answer directly, and said:

"You go back first. Within three days, I will definitely give the fourth Dalai Lama an answer."

Norbu's heart was still in suspense, but at least he knew that he would not wait forever without any results, so he bowed his body and said:

"I also hope that His Majesty will put the people in Tibet first."

After leaving the church, more than two hours have passed, Zhu Youxiao glanced at the crowd who still couldn't see the side, and said to Wang Chaofu:

"Let's go back to the palace, I'm a little hungry."

This trip greatly affected the traffic in the capital, and many people did nothing all morning just to wait to see Zhu Youxiao.

Some people who came to do urgent business were also blocked and unable to move.

It's better to go back to the palace as soon as possible. After all, the capital is the capital. The main road is blocked all the time, and it will still affect many people.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao was really hungry and hurried back to the palace for dinner.

After this morning's episode, many people saw the Emperor Tianqi who only lived in legends, so they naturally had the capital to brag about.

But life still has to be done in a dutiful way. For most people, seeing the emperor's side may be new, but after all, they won't get a dime.

Farmers still have to carry hoes to work in the fields to support their families. Officials still patrol the streets to maintain law and order in the neighborhood.

After the last banner of the emperor's guard of honor disappeared in Chengtianmen Square, the following crowd dispersed quickly.

The bustling capital city in the past has returned to its former prosperity.

……

In the next month or so, it has entered a relatively peaceful time.

The cabinet and the Spanish envoy Dias discussed for three days and signed a further military mutual assistance agreement on top of the trade agreement.

And in order to discuss and cooperate in military operations in the future, a Ming-West joint council was established in the name of Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao and Spanish and Portuguese Emperor Philip IV.

This parliament now mainly has eight seats, with Ming and Spain each having four.

Members of the parliament usually don't convene, but once they are convened, it's time to discuss who to fight together.

After discussing these, Dias went back to report to Philip IV with satisfaction.

Regarding Uzang, Zhu Youxiao thought over and over again, and decided to intervene. After all, Uzang and Qinghai, these territories combined, are really not small.

What's more, if so much land can be taken back, there will be hope to recruit troops from these two places to join the war in the future. In the long run, the benefits will always outweigh the resources consumed.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has given Norbu a clear reply, saying that he will definitely take care of it. If Zangba Khan continues to steal Uzang, Daming will even send troops to suppress the bandits.

That's right, it's about suppressing thieves, not starting a war.

Because Zhu Youxiao would never recognize the self-proclaimed "Khan" of Zangba Khan, nor would he recognize the strange stuff of Zangba Khanate.

No matter how loud Zangba Khan is, he is nothing more than a "thief" here in Daming.

Conveniently, Zhu Youxiao handed an imperial decree to Norbu and asked him to take it back.

In this decree, the titles of the four dharma kings, twelve empowered masters, and more than one hundred suzerains who belonged to Zangba Khan have been formally stripped.

From the moment the imperial decree arrives in Uzang, these people will be deprived of their political status.

This is just a warning, to tell these U-Tsang suzerains, big and small, that Daming will never give up U-Tsang again!

If you want to try my knife, then you continue to dance!

But this matter probably won't be so simple. After warning, Zhu Youxiao is still planning to go to Uzang.

Beating them down with fists is more effective than anything else.

It's just that the Uzang matter also involves the reconstruction of the two provincial capitals, and a large number of civil and military officials have to be re-selected.

One and a half months have passed, and the cabinet and the six ministries are still discussing.

There is also the choice of the leader and where to transfer the soldiers. These things have not yet been decided. After all, this time the troops will be dispatched, and those who go will have to stay there for a while.

There is also good news, the township of Zhenxiwei was found out half a month ago.

There is indeed a problem, and it is not small.

According to Ma Shilong, the governor of the Right Army, Zhu Xieyuan found out the evidence of Zhenxiwei, and went door to door to take the occupied military settlements of Zhenxiwei back into the hands of the imperial court, which is nearly [-] hectares of military settlements!

Of course, many more people were killed.

The strange thing is that the imperial court's killing in Zhenxiwei should cause panic as a rule, but the military households of Zhenxiwei no longer escaped.

Beginning in July of the fifth year of Tianqi, the fleeing households in the early years moved back in groups.

Now, the number of registered military households in Zhenxiwei has reached 12, and the number is still increasing.

After sorting out the Zhenxiwei garrison administration, Zhu Xieyuan quickly went to the Shu, saying that he suspected that the garrison administration in other places in Shanxi was also tricky.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Youxiao approved decisively.

One monarch and one minister, the two of them tacitly agreed, and soon, the court began to continue to investigate the military settlements in Shanxi's various guards, and the noise became bigger and bigger every time.

The Yamen of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army also experienced a rebirth from the ashes.

The more than [-] members of the Northwest Army marching south from the Northwest Camp, under the eager anticipation of many guards, civil and military, did not seem to have any plans to retreat.

Their military registries were incorporated into Shanxi guards such as Zhenxiwei, Ningwuwei, and Taiyuan on the spot, and they were still under the command of Ma Shilong, the right governor of the Dudufu of the Five Armies.

One of the benefits of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion regaining military power is that they can now bypass the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War, mobilize troops, and promote generals, all directly obeying the emperor's orders.

Although according to the usual practice, such major events as the transfer of soldiers and horses and the promotion of generals still have to be submitted to the Ministry of War, but now the Ministry of War does not have the right to approve or refute.

The Ministry of War can put forward opinions to Zhu Youxiao based on this, but in the end, it is up to Zhu Youxiao to decide what is going on.

In other words, wherever the guards were found by the actions of the investigation of the army, the guards there were transformed into the emperor's pro-army who directly obeyed the emperor's orders.

Of course, the quarrel between the DPRK and China over whether to continue to expand the scope of investigation and settlement in Shanxi has not been idle for more than a month.

In recent days, the number of memorials submitted to Xinuange every day is several times that of the past.

Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to pay attention to it, and kept all these memorials unpublished. Now, he doesn't even bother to read them.

Wang Chaofu was reading the memorabilia, and when Zhu Youxiao heard that he was persuading him not to continue to investigate the government affairs, he frowned and sighed.

These civil servants are almost the same even in their rhetoric.

What guard is the fundamental system of Ming Dynasty, what is this is the ancestral law established by Emperor Taizu, which cannot be discarded, let alone lightly moved.

Now that Zhu Youxiao didn't even have the energy to complain in his heart, he put his legs on the imperial case, and suddenly remembered something:

"Nan Haizi, I haven't been there for a while, have I?"

"Prepare the horse! I'm going to hunt in Nanhaizi!"

Chapter 649 Expedition to Wusi Tibet

I can't afford it, can I still hide it?

In the past few days, it was the time when the court was arguing about the guards. Every time the court came, [-]% of the time was wasted on these useless quarrels.

Since it is said that the court meeting can't solve the problem, it loses the meaning of holding it. It's better to hold it for a while, so as to avoid it.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty are also strange things. Jiajing likes alchemy, Wanli has been in the deep palace for decades and ignored state affairs, this one is lucky, he likes hunting.

When August arrived, the cabinet received a decree from the emperor.

"I've been feeling tired recently, and occasionally feel dizzy. The court meeting will be suspended for one month and I will inform the cabinet to know."

Watching the eunuch who conveyed the decree leave, the four elders in the cabinet looked at each other in blank dismay. Now the emperor's decree is no different from the real imperial decree.

Although it is the central purpose, but now no one dares to disobey it.

As soon as the decree was issued, various rumors arose in the court. Some said that the emperor would return to the same state as when he first ascended the throne.

It was also said that the emperor was not physically ill, but he went hunting in Nanhaizi these few days, and he went like a cloud and flowing water, without any sickness at all.

Many people understand that Zhu Youxiao is actually very strong.

Many people who don't know why, but they sighed a lot when they heard this, wondering if Daming can produce a more normal emperor?

No matter what the outside world thinks, Zhu Youxiao let himself go a little bit after the decree was issued. Xiao Xie had just returned to Qianqing Palace when he saw the emperor running out to hunt excitedly.

This is not over yet, so I will simply stay in Nanhaizi for the night.

After a month, Zhu Youxiao didn't even go out to Nanhaizi, and the eunuchs from the Supervisor of Rituals came and went, and the memorials went straight to the inside.

This is another precedent for an emperor who governs in a place like Nanhaizi.

For a month, the government still failed to calm down, because Zhu Xieyuan's movements in Shanxi became more and more serious. Just five days ago, he arrested more than a dozen landlords in Taiyuan.

These landlords were all suspected of embezzling the military settlements, and Zhu Xieyuan's actions also made the military households very happy.

Ma Shilong, who was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, naturally knew what the emperor wanted, so he quickly cut through the mess and dispatched the Northwest Army to help quickly settle the situation.

Although the situation in this place has temporarily stabilized, the DPRK and China are getting more and more chaotic.

Seeing that there was no result in persuading Emperor Tianqi to stop the investigation of the government, the courtiers turned their finger on the civil and military officials who were in charge of the government.

Zhu Xieyuan and Ma Shilong, the two civil and military leaders who are in charge of this government at the local level, will not be mentioned. Even the two cabinet ministers who went to handle the case earlier, Hu Shiguang, a scholar of the Dongge University, and Xu Weijing, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, are also concerned. Not spared.
