Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The Battle of Liuhe took place in August of the fifth year of Tianqi. Among the many battles fought between the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu, this battle did not rank at all. The scale was too small, and it was not even mentioned much in historical materials.

However, the impact of this battle was huge!

Because of this war, Sun Chengzong stepped down from the position of Liaodong's manager, and even Yu Anxing, the governor of Liaodong, also stepped down.

The strategy of controlling the captives proposed by Sun Chengzong in Liao Dynasty is indeed controversial. Some say it is good and some say it is bad. If you really study it carefully, you will find that there are more bad things than good.

After all, Sun Chengzong's strategic deployment undoubtedly increased the financial burden of the Ming court, causing the Ming court's few annual food and salary expenditures to be partially occupied. This resulted in the Ming court being unable to make timely deployment of any emergencies during the period. .

But one thing is undeniable.

Sun Chengzong's strategy of controlling the captives in Liao really stabilized the Liao Dynasty and prevented the captives from continuously threatening Shanhaiguan and causing turmoil within the pass.

For Zhu Youxiao, as he learned more about the situation, he gradually discovered that Sun Chengzong's importance in Liao was unstoppable!

In addition to implementing the long-term strategy to control the captives, there is another fact that is easily overlooked, that is, the Guan Ning cavalry is in the hands of the Liaodong general! !

This elite cavalry, which had smashed countless amounts of gold and silver, had no doubts about its overall combat power or individual combat power.

Even if he fights against Bagala, the most elite of the Jianlu, not to mention absolutely crushing him on the battlefield, at least he has the ability to fight with him, there is no problem.

Even though the generals who led this elite division had their own selfish motives, they did not dare to openly resist in front of Sun Chengzong.

The reason is also very simple.

The Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, which is invincible on the battlefield, was created at the suggestion of Sun Chengzong. In the Ming Dynasty, no one could absolutely suppress the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry except Sun Chengzong.

Even sending Xiong Tingbi to Liaodong would not be able to achieve this.

"Everyone has been waiting for this!!"

Inside Dongnuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao's face was ugly, he stared at the memorial on the imperial case, gritted his teeth and said: "I just announced that it is the duty to defend the territory, and everyone held objections. Now there are changes in Liao Qian, and everyone started to die without mentioning anything else. I won’t let go of Sun Chengzong, okay, that’s great!!”

Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, lowered his head at the moment and did not dare to say a word at all.

The news about Liuhe's defeat from the Liao Dynasty spread to the court in the shortest possible time, and soon afterwards a large number of impeachment memorials were submitted to the court.

The target of impeachment is Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong administrator! !

As for who caused this defeat, no one cared at all, or they were consciously ignored. What was the use of impeaching a general officer?

Where could the impeachment of Sun Chengzong be direct and swift?

This is the battle between imperial power and ministerial power.

It is not that the east wind prevails over the west wind.

It means that the west wind prevails over the east wind.

It's just that in this struggle and game, the ministers can fail countless times, but as long as they seize one opportunity, they can achieve a comeback!

But the imperial power can win countless times, but it cannot fail once, because maybe just this one time, it may lead to a situation where everything is lost.

This is the fundamental reason why the emperor is a loner!

"Go! Get Wei..."

The angry Zhu Youxiao instinctively said to Liu Ruoyu, but as soon as he said the words, Zhu Youxiao stopped. Wei Zhongxian was still in Xuanfu Town.

"Ask Han Zanzhou to come see me."

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu, who was nervous inside, hurriedly lowered his head and bowed to the emperor, and then walked quickly outside the palace. But the moment he walked out of the palace, Liu Ruoyu felt a sense of relief.

The pressure is too great.

If the defeat of Liuhe cannot be handled properly, it will not only cause changes in the Liao Bureau, but may even cause another incident in the DPRK.

But for the current court, it simply cannot bear this.

When Liu Ruoyu left Dongnuang Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, had a more complete understanding of the civil servants.

No matter whether it is in the central government or in a local area, there is this party or that faction. They may fight for some interests on weekdays, but once something happens that affects the interests of each of them, they will temporarily put it aside. , concentrate our efforts to eliminate this hidden danger.

This tacit understanding is not due to any private connection between them, but due to their own interests!

This is what you are forcing me to do! !

Thinking of Zhu Youxiao here, his eyes became cold and stern.

He couldn't take a step back from the defeat of Liuhe!

Whether it is against Liao or North Korea, if this step is taken, the situation may undergo major changes, and uncontrollable changes are definitely unacceptable to Zhu Youxiao!

"My servant pays homage to the Emperor!"

Han Zanzhou, who was sighing hastily, immediately felt the anger of his own emperor when he walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and immediately bowed and saluted.

"Immediately lead the Da Neixing Factory to arrest these people!" Zhu Youxiao picked up a pile of memorials and threw them at Han Zanzhou's feet, saying in a cold tone.

"I suspect that this gang of traitors is not only involved in the smuggling case, but is even related to the Xiyuan assassination case. I want to know the truth!!"

"Slave, let's do it now."

Han Zanzhou immediately bent down and picked up the memorials scattered in front of his feet one by one. Although he did not know who these people were, since his emperor had said it, all he had to do was to act according to the order!

"Go."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

really.

It's really easier to use as a factory guard.

Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the soft cushion, suddenly understood why the power of factory guards was unexpectedly large during certain periods of the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with other permanent officials, the biggest difference between the factory guards and these officials is that the factory guards are absolutely dependent on the imperial power. No matter who is in charge of the factory guards, once they lose the trust and reliance of the emperor, their power will be reduced. and status will collapse in an instant!

"Go, bring all the recent memorials and documents involving Liaodong to the imperial court." After handling this matter, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Ruoyu and said: "In addition, regarding the Jiubian documents, please sort them out for me as soon as possible in the past five years. Okay, I’ll take a look at it when I get there.”

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu immediately bowed his head.

The bad things in the DPRK need to be resolved, but when it comes to other military and political affairs, Zhu Youxiao cannot relax. This messy Ming Dynasty will not give Zhu Youxiao too much time.

If the chaos cannot be sorted out as soon as possible, some things can be resolved first, and then the entire Ming Dynasty can be frightened, then many subsequent things will be difficult to accomplish.

If you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you must implement the New Deal, but once the New Deal appears, Zhu Youxiao can guess how big the backlash will be without even thinking about it. After all, there are interests, even if the emperor wants to touch it, it is time to fall out. Will fall out!
