The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 379 A warrior cannot rule a country

This is a hearty victory!

This is a great victory that the Ming Dynasty has been looking forward to for a long time!

Since the construction of the civil engineering, the common people and scholars suddenly found that the Ming Dynasty is no longer the Celestial Empire that dominates all directions, but a coward who clings to the Great Wall and survives!

Over the years, there have been constant wars in the northern border, and the barbarians have been raiding the border for many years, but the court has always been promoting a peaceful and prosperous era, and has always been immersed in this despicable fantasy!

Only the people on the border know the cruelty of the Tartars!

Only some gossips come out from time to time, and which border town has been looted and slaughtered by the Tartars.

When did the great Ming Dynasty fall to the point of being wantonly humiliated by the Tartars?

The common people don’t understand, let alone ask, but they will see, they will think!

But this time, His Majesty the Emperor can be said to have devoted the whole country’s strength to recover the Hetao, and has invested countless manpower and material resources, which makes the common people and scholars feel even more uneasy.

Not only the worry for the family, but also the worry for the future.

A war that could destroy a country, once defeated, everything would be over!

But His Majesty the Emperor told them in person today that the Ming Dynasty won!

Not only did they win, but it was also a hearty victory!

Nearly 30,000 Tartars were killed in the battle!

The victory of Wang Yue in Helan Mountain, which is often praised by people, only resulted in 42 beheadings!

But this time in the battle of Hetao, there were more than 30,000 people!

The Ming Dynasty, with a hearty victory, proved the majesty of the Celestial Empire!

Countless people cried with joy, and even cried with their heads in their hands.

An emotion called "patriotism" quietly grew in their hearts!

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel mixed emotions when he saw this, and his eyes were a little red.

Since he took the throne, he has suppressed civil officials at all costs, promoted military men, supported the wild man Tang Hao in carrying out various reforms, and destroyed the gentry cliques headed by Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia. Isn't it for today?

Corrupt scholars will only harm the country!

Scholars will only harm the country!

The great Ming Dynasty, the Celestial Empire, is not spoken by these civil officials and gentry who are full of benevolence, morality, patriarchal etiquette, but by countless soldiers who fought for the world and exchanged their lives!

But since Yongle, the Ming Dynasty has been ashamed of its soldiers for a long time!

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart, and forced himself to calm down.

He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must remain rational, he must remain calm!

The war has just begun, and the wild man Tang Hao is still leading his army to fight on the battlefield outside, and he still needs his Majesty the Emperor to suppress any voices that dare to oppose the war in the court!

In fact, ever since Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao led his army to the battle, there have been voices of opposition from both the government and the public.

Oppose war!

Oppose sending troops!

Oppose everything!

Even Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao was criticized for this, and was constantly impeached by civil officials and gentry, and people kept smearing him!

Zhu Houzhao saw all these court pressures.

But he did not choose to give in, but continued to support the wild man Tang Hao with a firm attitude, and even used the money and grain of the treasury to almost empty his own treasury!

For what?

Isn't it to win a brilliant victory, rebuild the northern border defense line, and let the soldiers and civilians of the nine borders no longer suffer from the plunder and harassment of barbarians!

Zhu Houzhao blindly trusted the wild man Tang Hao.

And the wild man did not disappoint him!

With this great victory, the prestige of his Majesty the Emperor will rise to a whole new height!

Although he was not as good as Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen, who "spoke with the law in mind", at least it would not be easy for civil officials and gentry to restrict him!

Zhu Houzhao returned to the Qianqing Palace.

He still had a lot of things to do next.

Rewards for meritorious soldiers.

Pensions for fallen heroes.

Those who should be promoted should be promoted.

Those who should be suppressed should be suppressed.

He wanted to take advantage of this great victory to continue to seek benefits for military heroes, so that they could fight on the front line without any scruples and expand the territory!

Moreover, this great victory also helped to completely consolidate the power of the Five Military Commandery and complete the full handover from the Ministry of War to the Five Prefectures.

Who said that military heroes were useless?

Who said that only civil officials and gentry could become generals and ministers?

Wang Yue, who was born as a civil official, only beheaded more than 40 people, but this time, the military hero went to battle and beheaded nearly 30,000 people, and this did not count the gains in Liaodong and Daning!

With this great victory, it will be much easier for Zhu Houzhao to support military merits and consolidate the power of the five governments.

Zhu Houzhao adjusted his mood and said to Zhang Yong calmly: "Order the ministers to discuss matters in the morning court tomorrow!"

Yang Tinghe, Wang Ao, Zhu Youlu and other important officials beside him suddenly shrank their pupils and trembled unconsciously.

They knew that with the nature of this emperor, he would either not attend the court or take the initiative to attend the court to make a big move!

And at this critical moment, what other major events are worth discussing in the court besides praising those warriors?

The ministers looked at each other and saw the hidden worries in each other's eyes.

The warriors are in power!

That night, after the curfew, the noisy and prosperous capital during the day fell into silence.

But in a dark room, a fierce quarrel broke out.

"Impossible! Your Majesty will never agree!"

"That's right! Your Majesty is in high spirits now. Anyone who dares to propose this will surely die without a burial place!"

"Then you will just sit back and watch the military rule the country and run the government?"

A low questioning voice sounded, causing the quarreling ministers to fall into silence.

A warrior rules the country!

This kind of abnormal politics that only occurs in troubled times seems to be about to reappear in the Ming Dynasty, and the possibility is extremely high!

You know, the Marquis of Zhongshan in the Ming Dynasty has not returned to Beijing yet!

He fought from Liaodong to Western Liaoning, and then from Western Liaoning to Daning, and now he is even heading straight to Kaiping!

The Tang family, who was born out of nowhere, rose rapidly at an incomprehensible speed, and then led his troops on expeditions again and again. He personally created and cultivated the today's nobles of the Beijing army. At this moment, he is about to wipe out the northern barbarians and completely solve the problem. A serious problem for the Ming Dynasty.

I can't imagine how high this son's power and prestige will rise if he really does it!

"Now that the Beijing army has won a great victory, our Majesty's prestige has risen to a whole new level. He will use this victory to arbitrarily increase titles during the court meeting tomorrow, and a number of new military groups will emerge!"

"If things continue like this, I'm afraid there will no longer be a place for civil servants like us to stand in this court!"

Everyone was silent when they heard this, because what this person said was not unreasonable, on the contrary, it made too much sense!

Judging from Emperor Zhu Houzhao's usual behavior, he will definitely propose to negotiate a knighthood tomorrow, and the ministers will not be able to refute it.

After all, where are their achievements, what qualifications do you have and what can you use to refute them?

But in this way, this emerging military group, which is different from the noble line and is only loyal to the emperor and Marquis Tang, will continue to grow and continue to plunder the vested interests in the hands of officials like them!

This is also the main reason why they were invited to plot tonight!

Emperor Zhu Houzhao and Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao went too far!

If things continue like this, there may really be no place for them in the court!

"The rituals and music have collapsed, and the country is ruled by warriors!"

"Marquis Tang is still there, what can be done? What can be done?"

"have!"

The person who had shouted before replied calmly and forcefully, which made everyone look refreshed!

"I got a secret report. This victory report is false. Jinglubo Anguo did not lead his troops to participate in the battle at all. They obtained Tatar heads through trade!"

"Hiss...is the news true?"

"Absolutely reliable!"

After a pause, the group of people laughed in unison.

"How dare you, my bastard?!"

"How dare these nobles from the Beijing army be so bold?"

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is enough to make them irrecoverable!"
