Chapter 1684 If you want to fight, then fight!
The wall at the victory entrance of Datong Town was breached by the Han army on the second day of the sixth lunar month in the first year of Chongzhen. Just one day later, the urgent Tangma Army Report sent the news of the Han army's invasion to the Ming Empire.
The Capital of Good Things. Watermark Advertising Test When the news of the watermark advertising test was delivered, it was noon on the third day of June. At that time, the cabinet ministers, the ministers of the Sixth Ministry, as well as the Kedao Yanguan and the general admirals of the Beijing camp were gathering.
In the main hall of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they were drinking tea and talking while waiting to go to the Wenhua Hall to attend the umrah.
As a result, before it was time to go to court, the 600-mile expedited trip from Datong arrived.
Huang Liji, who was already used to seeing strong winds and waves and had been trained as the first assistant scholar of the Prime Minister's Office, frowned while holding the Tangbao, which was led by Mangui, holding a hot tea bowl, and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Come on.
Didn't the imperial court already send envoys to the Han tribe? Why did they just call over? Could it be that the talks have collapsed?
When Prime Minister Huang came to his senses, he immediately jumped up and shouted to the ministers who were drinking tea with him to hurry to the Wenhua Palace.
But before they could leave the official hall, Cao Wenxue, the eunuch in charge of Wenhua Palace, came in a hurry and announced a piece of news that left everyone speechless.
Long Live Lord, I feel cold, so today’s Umrah is cancelled!
Now, this long-lived master, to be honest, is quite diligent among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Although he basically does not attend the first and fifteenth day of the Ming Dynasty - these two days are equivalent to vacation! But the little one in Wenhua Palace
The government basically does not ask for leave, and the ideas for handling government affairs are very clear. It is not easy to be fooled, and you can make decisions immediately when encountering difficulties. If you don't like to seize internal money and pro-army, you also like to scare everyone with the label of rebelling against the party.
Son, this young emperor is basically a wise king.
But why did this Ming army fall ill just when he was inserting Han troops into Datong?
"Eunuch Cao, the matter is urgent now. Han soldiers have been inserted into the bandits and the border wall of Datong has been cut through. Do you think you can invite Long Live Lord..." Of course Huang Liji couldn't let Zhu Youjian go like this. Now
It’s no different than usual. Foreign enemies are invading. You, the long-lived man, have to continue to work even though you are sick!
As he spoke, the loyal and treacherous ministers in the staff hall all turned into unreasonable supervisors and agreed one after another.
"Yes, the matter is urgent now. If Long Live Master is okay, please come and see us!"
"Yes, the chief's 100,000 soldiers have broken through the Datong border wall..."
"Eunuch Cao, Long Live Master was fine yesterday, wasn't he? He was still reviewing the armed forces at Nanhaizi Camp, why did he..."
"Yes, why are you sick? Yesterday, you were riding horses and shooting arrows in Nanhaizi!"
"No, we have to go to Qianqing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
"Eunuch Cao, please take us to Qianqing Palace quickly... Datong Mansion is in an emergency now, we must see him!"
Upon hearing that Datong Mansion was in emergency, Cao Wenxue was also anxious. He had to say to the ministers: "Since Datong is in emergency, our family will take you to Qianqing Palace... But it won't work if so many people go.
Long live the Lord is sick and cannot see so many people! How about a few pavilion elders and British father-in-law follow our family to Qianqing Palace?"
After hearing this, the ministers all became worried. Originally, they thought that Zhu Youjian was just too tired from playing yesterday and really couldn't get out of bed today.
But according to Cao Wenxu... is he really seriously ill?
This Long Live Lord is only 18 years old! And he doesn’t have a son yet. If he dies, who will be the emperor?
...
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
In the afternoon, several pavilion elders from the outer court and the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, finally gathered outside the Qianqing Palace, clamoring to see Emperor Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, the chieftain's soldiers have penetrated the border wall of Datong. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Datong is in a hurry..."
"Your Majesty, please come up with an idea quickly!"
"Your Majesty, is your dragon body still okay? Can you see us?"
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The door creaked loudly, and a young woman in gorgeous clothes came out of the main hall of Qianqing Palace with the support of Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch of Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremony, and Shang Fuming, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch.
This woman is none other than Queen Zhou!
The courtiers quickly kowtowed to Queen Zhou and then knelt on the ground to secretly look at the young and beautiful Queen.
The Queen is pregnant with a child... I don't know if it's a boy?
But now there are still some days before childbirth, and the country cannot live without a king for a day!
Besides, the queen doesn’t look like she’s going to kill her husband...
When the ministers were full of doubts, Queen Zhou had already taken out a copy of the imperial edict, unfolded it in front of all the ministers, and then said in a low voice: "Long live the emperor already knew that Han troops were inserted to attack Datong. It’s about the border wall, now I have a decree for you!”
Have a purpose?
Then listen quickly!
Empress Zhou said: "Long Live Lord has a decree: If you want to fight, then fight!"
...
Today is the second day of June, and yesterday was of course the first day of June, Zhu Youjian's "rest day". Of course, it's not really a day off - Zhu Youjian had rested for more than fifty years in his last life, and now he is finally resting. Now that he is an emperor, he is still willing to rest? It's just that he doesn't devote all his energy to the court now.
Because in his opinion, the current court is pretty good...Although there are a lot of treacherous ministers, they are not very responsible, and there are not many ministers who are willing to really work. But at least they are not holding them back! What Wei Zhongxian left behind Even though those treacherous ministers were all wrong, they were relatively obedient after all, and they still had their pigtails in Zhu Youjian's hands. Therefore, Zhu Youjian would not make any big moves against the outside world for the time being. His main focus now is on the two sides. There are two aspects: one is the inner court; the other is the pro-military.
Both aspects gave him a headache, especially the inner court! In Zhu Youjian's previous life, he saw that it was quite easy for his rebellious son to run the Royal Chamber of Commerce. It seemed that he could conjure mountains of gold and silver out of thin air. But when it was his turn to take action, he realized that business was not easy to do. ah!
The current inner court obviously has a lot of assets - Wei Zhongxian and the two major Hakka families have stolen a lot of them! There are also a group of big officials in the inner court and the seventy fat sheep and traitors who were detained in Xiyuan bought indulgences, so Zhu Youjian took action There are some assets here.
Only the land in Gyeonggi, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places (at first only the land in Beizhili, but later many treacherous officials could not take out the land in Beizhili, so it was relaxed appropriately), after deducting the land for pro-military positions Finally, there are actually three to four million acres. In addition, there are a large number of shops, mansions, treasures, debt securities... The total value is tens of millions of taels!
But with so much property, there is just no way to create much profit!
And the expenses of the inner court are huge. Even if many eunuchs, maids, and a large number of pro-army soldiers are laid off, Zhu Youjian is now planning to buy poor children from Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places to serve as scouts. .....Another big expense!
So he always feels that he doesn’t have enough money!
Obviously there are so many high-quality assets, but they can't turn out profits...Zhu Youjian has been missing Nizi a little these days. Nizi always talks about hundreds of millions of dollars to make money! But the problem is that Nizi is still pregnant with Queen Zhou. Now - Queen Zhou has already diagnosed her Ximai pulse, so she must be the traitor, right? But even if it is, it will be more than ten years before it comes in handy?
What to do now?
Zhu Youjian was forced to do nothing. In the past two days, he had used the imperial horse supervisor to supervise the eunuch Pang Tianshou to go to Nanjing and Fujian to find Shen Tingyang and Zheng Yiguan - Chief Shen should still be in Nanjing Taixue. With a bachelor's degree, Zheng Yiguan was discussing with Xiong Wencan about recruitment.
Of course, the matter of finding money is not urgent at the moment. There is still a lot of money in the internal transportation warehouse, and the current expenses can be met.
Therefore, the top priority now is the army in front of the tent.
Because he knew that the war with the Han tribe was about to break out, Zhu Youjian had gathered all the troops in front of the tent in the Nanhaizi camp in the name of review. He also mobilized a war horse from the horse farm under the jurisdiction of the imperial horse supervisor. , walked the horse, and also ordered the army in front of the tent to prepare 10 days' marching food.
And since the first day of June, he has lived in the Nanhaizi camp - Nanhaizi was originally the hunting palace of the Ming Dynasty emperor. Although it had been abandoned for some years, it was in line with the system for Zhu Youjian to live in it, and the foreign ministers also Can't say anything.
