I am the king of the dead

"The soldiers are very fast!"

"Fifth, in this battle against bandits, only victory is allowed, not defeat, and the loser will take the lead."

"I'm done talking."

Winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists, but this is the sharpening of knives by the Beijing camp. What is the combat effectiveness of bandits?What is the fighting power of the Daming Beijing Camp?

This battle must not only be won, but a big one must be won.

If you can't beat a group of bandits who have completely figured out the dens in the Beijing camp of Ming Dynasty, then it's better to go to see Taizu and Emperor Taizong.

"The ministers take orders!" Many generals heard the cold blood in His Majesty's words.

The evil spirit on Zhu Qiyu's body gradually receded, and he said with a smile: "When you leave later, you all go to the lecture hall to have a look, gold flowers and silver, I didn't take silver coins as a reward."

Yang Hong looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is better to take silver coins. Although gold flowers and silver are expensive, they cannot be bought and sold. You need to go to a bank or other places to exchange them for copper coins or broken silver. It is really troublesome. Take them." The Baoyuan Bureau also exchanges heavy silver coins, which is actually the same."

Shi Heng nodded repeatedly and said: "Silver coins are good. We have to open 50 taels of silver ingots every time we give out rewards. It is inconvenient for soldiers to use them. Moreover, the gold and silver ban is still there. This silver coin is very good." .”

"It's not fair for those Minggongs to show off with silver coins every day, but the soldiers don't see any of them. It's not fair. The salary of the Beijing official Minggong is silver coins, and the silver rewards should also be silver coins."

Zhu Qiyu looked left and right, there is only Yu Qian who can be regarded as Duke Ming...

But Yu Qian is not a pure scholar.

Chapter 2 The ministers feared the capital's criticism

Courtiers like Yu Qian were not alone in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Wang Ji was awarded the title of earl by being a scholar of literature.

Yu Qian's combat strength, if he really fought against fierce generals, he was naturally not as good as Shi Heng, Yang Jun and other good fighters. His skills were all brought out by bandits.

But he is not a coward who writes sour poems, can't hold a gun, and can't go to the battlefield.

After the Battle of the Capital, Yu Qian entered the Shaobao. If he had more military exploits, he would naturally have the position of Bohou.

Zhu Qiyu didn't stay in the meeting room, instead it was inconvenient for the generals to discuss the battle plan. There was an extremely intense discussion in the meeting room about how to wipe out the bandits in Yanshan, Taihang and Gouzhu mountains.

Knowing that these bandits and rogues are a chronic disease of Ming Dynasty, why not get rid of them?

It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't do it. These bandits have been running the Taihang Mountain camp for hundreds of years. They live deep in the mountains and are extremely difficult to find.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who holds an army of one million, is he struggling?

He has a grassroots organization in Lizheng, so finding some bandits is not easy?

Zhu Di, who holds elite soldiers in the Beijing camp, is he struggling?Going out of the fortress to fight in Outer Mongolia is no problem for Zhu Di.

Why is this bandit so difficult to eliminate?Why have they experienced successive dynasties, passed down from generation to generation, even more ancient than some dynasties?

Because the soil of bandits and thieves is the idle people and the people who do not work.

These farmers who lost their land paid land rent, paid high taxes, and had to deal with the private demands of the township department.

Instead of solving the problem of idlers and unemployed people, want to solve the problem of bandits?It's just fishing for the moon in the water. Today they are scattered, and tomorrow there will be people roaring together in the mountains and forests.

The most important thing is that an effective method is needed to solve the problem.

Can Zhu Qiyu's farm law solve this problem?

He can only guarantee that when he is alive, the plowmen will have their fields, and the people will be able to stay on the land safely and cultivate, and they will get something from their work and get enough food to satisfy their stomachs.

Food and clothing?He can't even solve the problem of being full, he can only solve the problem of living.

But as long as the problem of life and death can be solved, these lazy and unproductive people are not willing to fall into the grass and become bandits.

Because the government and the army are going to suppress, they will inevitably die.

Ninety-nine out of ten people in the Gyeonggi and Kyushu outside the mountains have reached the number of peasants, idlers, and end-of-life people. This is no longer a delayed certificate but an urgent certificate.

The farm law can't do much, it can ensure that when those rural people seek privately, the common people can beat those rural gentry, know how to pick up their knives, and resist those privately begging people.

Zhu Qiyu waited for more than half an hour, and got the marching route of the pre-war meeting in the Jiangwu Hall. Although it seemed complicated, Zhu Qiyu took out his own seal and stamped it on it after a little review, and Zhu approved a lot. The transfer order ordered Xing'an to go to Yinshou Supervisor to obtain the fire card for dispatching troops.

He walked into the conference room of Juxian Pavilion, handed the fire cards to Yang Hong, Shi Heng, Yang Jun, Liu An, and Sun Tong one by one, and said: "In this battle, we must ensure that the people will not be robbed by bandits within three years." Harassment!"

"Back camp tomorrow."

Did Zhu Qiyu make the same mistake as Zhu Qizhen?

Are you going to let the capital go out of Beijing to fight in a few days?

No, the Beijing camp has been waiting for more than a whole year since Oala retreated in October last year, and they have also prepared for more than a year.

There is no need to recruit too many civilians, because Wu Gang vehicles have the ability to afford part of the transportation of grain and grass, and the state governments in various places will also cooperate with the deployment of grain, grass and armaments.

The most important thing is that the farms all over the country will fully cooperate with this operation.

If the troops of the Ming Dynasty cannot carry their own grain and grass to the state capitals, they can borrow grain from the farm. After writing the IOU, the tax can be deducted after the end of the second tax exemption next year.

But at most, they can only borrow [-]% of the grain from farms in various places to do battle.

This time, the [-]th Regiment Battalion of the Beijing Camp and various farms worked together to suppress the bandits.

Will the people of the various farms agree?

The ones who suppress the bandits are the bandits around them. As long as the government order is issued to the village and the commander in charge of Liuli is asked to gather the people and explain the matter clearly, why do the people not support the bandit suppression?

Zhu Qiyu attaches great importance to the suppression of bandits.

This is the full cooperation of the farm law and the capital's march since the New Deal. If it can be customized, Zhu Qiyu dares to say: The Ming army is invincible in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

With the strength of all husbands, the world is naturally invincible!

Liu Bowen's words were the reason why he was able to be assigned to the Emperor Taizong's court.

As soon as the news that the capital camp was about to be launched, the entire capital immediately exploded.

The Beijing camp is about to move out quietly, where are they going?I don't know what to do?Not sure.

Didn't King Xiang hand over the scale book to the capital?Don't you have to pay taxes according to the system?Why did His Majesty's army suddenly mobilize?Who will bear His Majesty's iron fist?Where is the capital going?

These are not the main points, the key is... It is unreasonable for the Beijing camp to be transferred like this!

The first to react were the six ministers, the minister and the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When they heard the news, they almost threw the pens in their hands to the ground.

They suddenly remembered that in July last year, Emperor Zhengtong was like this. He issued an edict to personally conquer, and immediately pulled out the camp after five days. He went out to fight without any preparations!

They remembered the humiliation and fear when they were besieged by the Oirats!

Absolutely cannot let His Majesty dispatch troops so hastily!

The fastest runner was Jin Lian, Minister of the Household Department. Although he knew that the Beijing camp had about [-] days of emergency food and grass, he rushed to the Juxian Pavilion in the lecture hall immediately.

Thirty days is enough for what?It happened to be beaten by the Wala people to the death of the Sixth Division!

Jin Lian was completely shrouded in fear.

Zhang Fu, Duke of the United Kingdom, Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, Chen Ying, Marquis of Taining, Cao Nai, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Wang Yong, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Deng Chi, the right deputy capital, and Zhongshu Names such as Sheren, Engineering Giving Shizhong, Supervisory Censor, etc., remained in his mind for a long time.

This is the civil servants and military generals who died in the battle of Tumubao, eighteen honorable officials, and 48 civil servants in the court, all died for the country.

He remembered the panic of the capital at the time.

He remembers it all!

After Xing'an's notification, when he was brought up, Jin Lian was already extremely anxious.

He rushed into the long table conference hall and saw the emperor sitting on the main seat. Jin Lian heaved a sigh of relief. At least His Majesty did not insist on going his own way, at least he was still willing to meet courtiers.

Seeing that Yu Qian and Yang Hong were there again, Jin Lian breathed a sigh of relief. At least these two are here. If His Majesty really wants to conscript himself, the two should persuade them. will fail miserably.

But didn't the officials of the capital back then hold the mentality of Zhang Fu, the British Duke, Wang Zuozai, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Kuang Yezai, Minister of the Ministry of War, and didn't Chao Tianque stop them?

Daming couldn't stand a civil engineering castle anymore.

Jin Lian must ask clearly today.

Jin Lian straightened his crown and belt, and made a grand ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows.

Zhu Qiyu stared blankly at Jin Lian's salute. Zhu Qiyu still trusted the Hubu Shangshu who said he would burn the Tongzhou granary at first, after ending his misunderstanding.

At least when the emperor was abolished and established, Jin Lian also participated in it.

On weekdays, in the upper court, only Daming, who performed the Jishou ceremony, worshiped three times and kowtowed nine times, which is the etiquette only used when offering sacrifices to the Taimiao during the Chinese New Year.

Why?

Zhu Qiyu still underestimated the shadow of the Civil Fortress Change in the hearts of the ministers and workers of the Ming Dynasty, not only Jin Lian, but the entire capital was full of turmoil and discussions.

The great emperor let Beijing camp, why go?

He hurriedly stood up and said, "Jin Shangshu, get down quickly, what are you doing?"

Jin Lian's breath was not very steady, he ran all the way on the way here, his face was flushed, but he still said fluently: "I dare to ask, what is the so-called reason for your Majesty to move the Beijing camp out of the capital?"

When people are in extreme panic and fear, there are two manifestations. One is Zhu Qizhen's aphasia, teeth fighting, completely unable to speak, and unable to hold the seal firmly.

One is Jin Lian, who speaks very fast and fluently.

Jin Lian was so frightened that His Majesty suddenly dispatched troops!

At the beginning of King Jili's personal expedition, the sergeants brought seven liters of rice, although now everyone in the Beijing camp carries three buckets of rice for one stone, why did they suddenly have to be transferred?

"Go to Yanshan Mountain, Taihang Mountain, and Gouzhu Mountain to suppress bandits." Zhu Qiyu explained: "Xing'an, help Jin Shangshu up."

When Jin Lian heard that it was the bandits, he softened and almost fell to the ground. If it wasn't for Xing'an's sharp eyesight and quick hands to stabilize Jin Lian, Jin Lian would lose his dignity in front of the king.

"Why is Jin Shangshu so terrified?" Zhu Qiyu asked back, not only Zhu Qiyu, but even Yu Qian had never seen Jin Lian like this.

Jin Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped for a few breaths, bowed his head and said, "I'm terrified, I thought your Majesty was going to conquer Wala in person."

"Xing'an, pour a cup of tea for Jin Shangshu, take your time." Zhu Qiyu hurriedly let Xing'an serve tea.

Jin Lian was not the first one. The second one was Hu Wei, and the third one was Chen Xun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Later, there were more and more people, and it didn’t take long for the Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to arrive. up.

"Suppress the bandits." Chen Xun returned to his usual appearance, that's all right.

Isn't it enough to suppress bandits with hands?

Even Chen Xun knew that the current combat power of the Daming Beijing Camp was more than enough to deal with the suppression of bandits.

When he heard about this for the first time, he was also trembling with fright. Could this Daming still endure the second civil fort change?

The Twelfth Regiment Battalion has only been practicing for one year and two months, and is it about to go out to fight?

But when they heard that they were suppressing the bandits, the officials were relieved. They did not go out to fight. His Majesty was on the land of Daming to quell the banditry.

good thing.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the group of courtiers, and said with a smile: "Because there is no need for the cooperation of the six departments and the three legal departments, there is no overall arrangement in advance, and there are not many local food and grass that need to be used. Supplement as needed, and there are also farms that can borrow food. I can feel the heart of all Minggongs to serve the country with fists."

"I didn't intend to conquer Wala myself, it was just a military exercise."

"Your Majesty is wise." The officials hurriedly bowed their heads.

They should actually trust the wisdom of His Majesty today, but it was Daming who had the big event of the Civil Fort change only last year, and the scar has not healed yet, so it is an overreaction.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Okay, gentlemen, please go back to the yamen of each department. Everything will be as usual. I just want to test whether the knife in Jingying is sharp."

"The ministers will leave." A group of courtiers bowed their heads and retreated with emotion.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the group of officials, he thought something big happened, or he was against the bandits, and he was going to force the palace!

The result was not the case, both sides had a misunderstanding, the officials did not force the palace against the sky, and Zhu Qiyu did not move the capital camp rashly to fight out of the fortress.

After simply explaining clearly, the misunderstanding was resolved.

This is the benefit that His Majesty can easily see, but if there is something wrong, if you make it clear in person, then naturally there will be no so many misunderstandings.

In contrast, let the ministers choose between a civil fort and a peaceful bandit, and they chose to support His Majesty to fight the bandit!

Moreover, the ministers also support His Majesty to move or not to move, and the local officials will ride on their heads!

Only when the Beijing camp moved, the local officials knew that His Majesty's turning over made such a big movement!

The strength of the Beijing camp is an important guarantee for the smoothness of the Ming government.

Zhu Qiyu watched the group of officials retreat, and said another thing: "Marquis Changping, Yu Shaobao, I have a matter. Last year, Xie Ze served as the general governor and died in the battle at Bauhinia Pass. I decided to appoint another general governor. I don't know What do you two think?"

Xie Ze is a good man and a loyal minister, but he is a courtier of Zhu Qizhen and a scholar of literature.

But Xie Ze is not Changshan Zhao Zilong after all, he doesn't have the ability to get in and out seven times.

Xie Ze was a Jinshi during the Yongle period, and the Tumu Fort changed. He rode the savior from Zijing Pass, rushed to Tumu Fort, and died in the Nanfo Temple of Zijing Pass. Before leaving, Xie Ze said to his son, I He must serve the country with death!

Xie Ze embraced his loyalty to the emperor, and repaid the emperor with death.
