Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"I...Sun Zushou, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

A sonorous and powerful voice sounded in the handsome tent. Zhu Youxiao leaned on the handsome chair and looked at the burly man in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips.

What a warrior!

Although it was the first time to meet Sun Zushou, Zhu Youxiao still spoke highly of his first impression.

"No gifts."

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his smile, stared at Sun Zushou and said calmly: "Do you know why I urgently summoned the Qing family to come to the imperial court?"

"I am stupid, please give me a clear explanation, Your Majesty."

Sun Zushou, who was about to stand up, paused, then clasped his fists and bowed again.

Sun Zushou had some thoughts about the emperor's urgent summons. Even on the way to Shimen Town, he was still thinking about what the emperor wanted to ask.

After all, regarding the emperor's departure from Beijing to patrol the border, official letters were sent out by the Ministry of War and other departments in Beijing, and coupled with some news that had been circulating these days, Sun Zushou couldn't afford not to think too much about it.

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Sun Zushou with a half-smile, and said in a calm tone: "What I did in Sanhe and Jizhou must be more or less known to the Sanxie Twelve Roads under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Town. What’s going on?”

Sun Zushou paused, showing a trace of nervousness in his expression.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

What did the emperor do when he inspected Sanhe and Jizhou? Perhaps the Sanxie Twelve Road under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Town was far away, but some rumors were still heard.

After all, the commotion was too great, which inevitably led to some situations in the above places.

"Your Majesty, ministers from other places dare not speak nonsense."

After a moment of silence, Sun Zushou clasped his fists and replied: "But the Xixie Fourth Road under my jurisdiction does know some things, and there are also some conditions under my rule."

This is Sun Zushou.

If there is, there is.

No means no.

Sun Zushou would not say that he would go out of his way to conceal anything for the sake of his own future or official position.

Just because of this alone, I don’t know how many generals of the Ming Dynasty were thrown away.

"Then the Qing family is coming to Shimen Town. Have all the arrangements for Zunhua been made?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and stared directly at Sun Zushou.

Zhu Youxiao had something to do when he issued an edict to summon Sun Zushou to Shimen Town. However, the premise of all this was based on the stability of Xixie 4th Road under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Town. If the above-mentioned places dare to appear, Any chaos will undoubtedly affect Zhu Youxiao's overall plan.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

Sun Zushou's heartbeat inevitably accelerated. After a moment of pause, he clasped his fists and reported to Zhu Youxiao: "If Jizhou Town has jurisdiction over Xixie Fourth Road, and anything goes wrong while I'm away, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"

Although Sun Zushou is a battle-hardened warrior who is used to licking blood on the edge of a knife, but when facing the Emperor of Heaven, especially knowing some situations in Zunhua, he still hesitated when facing Zhu Youxiao's questions. It is inevitable that you will be nervous.

"I still trust the Qing family."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, stretched out his hand and said to Sun Zushou: "The Qing family does not need to be so nervous. There are no outsiders here, only our monarchs and ministers are here."

"The reason why I summoned your family to Shimen Town this time is to ask your family whether the Xixie Fourth Road, which is under the control of your family, is guilty of such scandals as consuming empty wages and blood of soldiers, abusing power for personal gain, and exploiting soldiers and civilians? I want to hear it. It’s the truth!”

Before starting the border patrol outside Beijing, Zhu Youxiao thought that what he had done previously, especially the arrests and executions of a large number of people in Beijing, would at least deter some people and prevent them from acting recklessly.

Especially the massive bandit suppression in Beizhili. Anyway, so many military generals led groups of soldiers to go to various places in Beizhili to eliminate bandits. This can at least scare some people.

But Zhu Youxiao found that he was wrong.

Just because you disappear for a while doesn't mean you can endure it all the time.

After all, in the face of absolute interests, not everyone can just give up. The feeling of eating fat in the mouth is so wonderful. Isn't it a luxury to want them to just give up?

"Your Majesty...the Xixie Fourth Road exists in the above situation!"

After hesitating for a long time, Sun Zushou thought about the situation of the station under his jurisdiction and what the emperor had done during his patrol, and finally said it bravely.

"Since I took office as the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, although I have also organized military armaments, boosted morale, repaired border defenses, and clarified military discipline and other matters under my leadership, it can be said that the Xixie Fourth Road has made some changes compared with before, but it has not been achieved. Complete eradication.”

"I have previously reported the actual situation under my jurisdiction to Supervisor Sun, but Supervisor Sun focused on the overall situation and emphasized that the safety of Sanxie Twelve Road in Jizhou Town is the most important. It seems that the situations found out need to be investigated slowly."

really.

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and things were just as he thought.

Jizhou Town is under the jurisdiction of Sanxie Twelve Road. It is an extremely special existence. There are actually many things hidden in it. However, due to the influence of the situation in Liaodong, many people deliberately choose to ignore it. It’s just that over time, some things No one can change it if they want!

"How did those Liao generals perform?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stared at Sun Zushou with sharp eyes.

hum.

Sun Zushou's heart tightened. He never expected that the emperor would point it out so directly.

Under the inherent understanding of the world, the so-called Liaodong generals are a group of Liao generals active in the pre-Liao period. They rely on their familiarity with the Liao land, and they also have their own servants who are supported by withholding food and wages!

It is precisely this that made the Ming Dynasty frequently fight with the Jianlu, and the Liao generals relied on some advantages to gradually become stronger and stronger on the Liaodong front line, and even firmly controlled the elite Guanning cavalry!

But actually?

The so-called Liaodong generals' power is not limited to the Liaodong front line. There are a group of Liaodong hereditary guards in Shanhaiguan Town, Jizhou Town, Sanxie Twelve Road and other places.

Starting from the first year of Tianqi, the Ming Dynasty successively lost Liaozuo, Liaonan, Liaoxi and other places. Although some areas were recovered in subsequent campaigns, the overall tone was that a large number of Liao territories were occupied by the built captives.

During this process, a group of civil and military personnel betrayed the Ming Dynasty and chose to join the Jianlu army. However, there were also a group of civil and military personnel who fled to the Liaoxi Corridor or even into the Pass...

"When I was inspecting Sanhe and Jizhou, I discovered a very serious problem."

Seeing that Sun Zushou remained silent, Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "Among the batch of traitors and scoundrels who were arrested and executed, some were previously appointed hereditary guards in Liao, and their corruption was even more rampant than others! "

"As far as I know, Jizhou Town has jurisdiction over the Sanxie Twelve Routes, which is second only to Shanhaiguan Town in the presence of hereditary guards of Liao Dynasty in the entire pass defense system!"

"The reason why I summoned the Qing family this time is to ask the Qing family generals to write down for me the list of Liao generals involved in the Fourth Route of Xixie, including who among them went against the imperial court's back and violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty. A matter of law!”

This is a bad thing!

Sun Zushou became nervous after hearing this. Although he disliked these people, these people were important media for settling the Liao people. If they were all captured, who knows what would happen!

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was worried about the trend. The hereditary guards in Liao mentioned were important helpers responsible for the resettlement of Liao people who fled into the pass. They even oversaw the reclamation of a lot of wasteland to increase tax revenue. However, these benefits only benefited the court. None of them got it, and most of them let some of them line their own pockets!

"Your Majesty, think twice!" Sun Zushou hesitated for a moment. When he thought of the consequences of this matter, he immediately clasped his fists and advised: "This matter is of great importance. If..."

"It is precisely because the stakes are so important that I did not rush to station in Zunhua directly, but called you, Sun Zushou, to come to Shimen Town!"

However, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "If I chose to turn a blind eye to some scandalous things just because I was worried about something, then I would not have gone against everyone's opinions and left Beijing to patrol the border with a tough attitude!"

"I will give you one day to write down everything you know. This Jizhou Town has Sanxie Twelve Roads under its jurisdiction. I want to clean them all one by one!"

Something big is going to happen!

Sun Zushou was completely shocked when he heard this. He thought that the emperor would definitely do something, but he did not expect that the emperor would actually do something so big!

In fact, Zhu Youxiao wanted to do big things, otherwise he would not have sent Li Banghua and the others to Yutian and other places. Jizhou Town had jurisdiction over the Sanxie Twelve Road, and he was personally responsible for inspection and rectification.

Because Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone else that Jizhou Town is under the jurisdiction of Sanxie Twelve Road. Once something is exposed, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and even if it goes wrong, there will be frequent military riots.

Such dangerous things must be done by him, the great emperor of tomorrow, so that Li Banghua and the others can use thunder to solve the long-standing problems in the investigated areas under the turmoil. At the same time, under this turmoil, Zhu Youxiao can also Taking advantage of the situation, Sun Zushou and other generals stationed in the pass were put to the test!

Since it is a comprehensive test, everyone must be involved, and some people cannot be left out. If even this matter cannot be handled well, then there will be no need to talk about the war in the future...
