Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 254 The Emperor patrols the border

Only when you hold the trump card in your hand can you rely on it!

For Zhu Youxiao, the government and the public were unprepared. He suddenly chose to conduct a martial arts performance in the Fengtai camp, and asked all the civil and military personnel in Beijing to participate. On such a formal occasion, he also instructed Xiong Tingbi to command a group of musketeers, almost crazy. In this way, launching a shooting tactic in front of the emperor is a carefully considered consideration!

"The civil and military groups in Beijing, especially the civil servants, are deeply intertwined."

Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the handsome chair, glanced at the crowd in the audience and said secretly in his heart: "If you want to scare them, especially the interest groups represented behind them, the power of factory guards alone is far from enough. In the final analysis, , the factory guards are not violent armed forces like the army, maybe the factory guards can also act as a deterrent, but in some special circumstances, they are far less direct than the army!!"

What happened in Shanxi made Zhu Youxiao firmly believe that if he wants to reverse the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, he must be strong to the end!

If you dare to show any weakness or concession during this period, all the previous efforts will eventually be in vain.

But then again, without enough confidence and reliance, who can ensure that if something happens, Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor of tomorrow, will be able to withstand it?

"So this practice of shooting tactics is not only to deter those with evil intentions, but also to let the pillars of the Ming Dynasty who still have confidence in the Ming Dynasty know that the Ming Dynasty's army can still change!"

Zhu Youxiao's hands clenched tightly and his eyes became sharp, "In this way, I can personally march to the Liaodong frontline battlefield and train an unbeatable strong army through war. Only then can the rear be stabilized!"

"This huge gamble, in the current situation, there is no choice, except to gamble, to experience a strong army through war, and to firmly control this strong army, then we will encounter some thorny problems in the future "

The longer he stayed in this position, the more Zhu Youxiao felt the cruel fact that there were too many local emperors under the Ming Dynasty! !

He knew that most of the existing problems in the Ming Dynasty were caused by gold and silver, especially the imbalance of the central finance. The court was unable to collect all the taxes that should be levied, which made urgent financial expenditures have to be transferred to the lower class groups. Only in this way can the rule of Ming Dynasty be maintained.

But if you go down this road, it will be a dead end!

In the past period of time, he has done a lot of things regarding taxation, tax exemption, and inspection... but it is not easy to keep it effective for a long time. After all, the interests involved are constantly increasing, so This will cause more groups to become dissatisfied, and these dissatisfactions will turn into confrontation!

So armed deterrence is what must be done.

But then again, Zhu Youxiao relies so much on armed deterrence. If the core army was not created by him himself, but was created by the hands of others, then the affiliation of this powerful army should come from his hands. What about the discussion? Or should we come from someone else’s perspective?

"Your Majesty! I impeach Xiong Tingbi for his lawlessness, disrespect for the emperor, and trampling on the prestige of the Ming Dynasty with troops from the capital camp. I would like to impeach Xiong Tingbi and arrest him for his crimes!"

"Your Majesty! I am impeaching Xiong Tingbi for harboring evil thoughts, ignoring your majestic kindness, and turning the troops in the capital camp into soldiers of the same family. I urge you to investigate Xiong Tingbi strictly!"

"Your Majesty!! I impeach Xiong Tingbi..."

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking, the crowd in the audience got into trouble. Many ministers walked to the imperial court, knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao, and began to impeach Xiong Tingbi.

The timing is just right.

Just after the musketeers led by Xiong Tingbi finished their martial arts performance in front of the emperor, they ran out one by one and began to fight back against Xiong Tingbi.

The atmosphere around Dianjiangtai suddenly changed.

When these ministers jumped out to impeach Xiong Tingbi, many of the remaining civil and military ministers standing there showed complicated expressions, and even started talking quietly among the crowd.

What Xiong Tingbi did was incredible!

When it comes to performing martial arts, you should perform martial arts well. There is no such thing as suddenly making such a fuss in front of the emperor. This kind of trend cannot be encouraged.

If there is no final conclusion about what happened today, will someone be able to use this as an excuse to do even more incredible things in the future?

"Have you finished talking?"

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Youxiao stood up from the handsome chair, walked a few steps forward, looked down at the crowd in front of him, and said calmly: "The musketeers under the jurisdiction of the Beijing camp, what they do in martial arts in front of the emperor, that's all. It is to respect my will, and for no other reason than to show you that the Jingying camp that was once unfit for reuse can be reused as long as the right people are chosen, paid enough, and fed! "

When talking about this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiong Tingbi specifically.

From the beginning to the end, when many people jumped out to impeach, Xiong Tingbi stood still, while the musketeers gathered behind him stood with guns in hand.

Speaking of which, when Xiong Tingbi first heard about things like today, he was strongly opposed to it. After all, it was too dangerous.

It doesn't matter if he hurts the officials accompanying him to watch the battle.

But if the emperor is accidentally injured, the matter will become a big deal!

But Zhu Youxiao's attitude is equally tough. If he doesn't do anything like this, it will not have a deterrent effect, let alone a warning effect, so this matter must be done.

Because of Zhu Youxiao's tough attitude, when Xiong Tingbi selected the musketeers, he selected them one by one, for fear that some of them would have evil thoughts. Even before the martial arts exercise began, these musketeers were stationed alone, including The muskets, gunpowder, etc. they are equipped with are strictly screened to ensure they are foolproof! !

"With what happened today, I have something else to announce!!"

Looking at the agitated crowd, Zhu Youxiao pointed at Xiong Tingbi and the others, and said in a sonorous tone: "I want to leave the capital to inspect the border areas, and I want to take a closer look. The army supported by the Ming Dynasty accounts for more than half of the national treasury. Why can't we fight?" The military power of Ming Dynasty is here!!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

If what Zhu Youxiao said before shocked all the civil and military personnel present, then what Zhu Youxiao said now made many people confused! !

The emperor patrols the border?

What a joke! !

The emperor of tomorrow should stay in the capital and rule the world with the officials appointed by the imperial court. Now the emperor wants to leave the capital to inspect the frontier areas. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Even if we really need to patrol the border, that is still a matter for the Ministry of War! !
