In the past two months, all the progress of the Ming Dynasty was still going smoothly.

The battle situation in Liaodong stabilized, and the Mongolian side was over, and the ending was perfect.

The only person who is unhappy may be Lin Danhan.

Inexplicably, two Mongolian tribes grew stronger and even started playing alliances?

The Ming Dynasty still wanted to build a city in Daning and trade with Korqin and Neikhalkha?

When he received the news, Lin Danhan was very angry. But he had no choice. After all, this was a civil war in Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty did not send troops.

As for the trade between these tribes and the Ming Dynasty and the border trading, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been doing it all the time, but they are just fighting and stopping. After so many years, everyone has become accustomed to it. It is no big deal to have a trading city.

As long as Lin Danhan sent someone to speak, the Ming Dynasty would push the matter to Korqin and Neikhalkha. You should solve your own affairs by yourself.

On the Jurchen side, Huang Taiji hunched up, licking his wounds, and was waiting for the opportunity. It is said that he set his eyes on the forest further north, trying to get out the people there.

In the Liaodong side of the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi was building a city. In addition to the original location of Dongningwei, a city was also built on the Yalu River.

The name of this city is Dandong, which is said to be named by the emperor himself. No one knows how this name came about, but it is called Dandong anyway.

These things were all participated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is said that they bought a large area of ​​land in Liaodong and seemed to have to do a big deal.

There are also countless merchants working with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The reason is very simple. Merchants who participated in Liaozhong investment can get a share of the trade in Daning, which is a huge market.

In addition, it is said that after the completion of Dandong, the Ming Dynasty and North Korea began trade.

It is not that kind of ordinary trade, but trade with official cooperation, and it is said that it is still very effective.

For a moment, countless people began to flock to Liaodong. In their words, they should go to Liaodong to make a fortune. Some people began to spread rumors, saying that people from Liaodong came in a hurry to get money.

For a moment, Liaodong was very lively.

This matter was left to the people of the Interior Department, so Zhu Youxiao naturally did not participate. He just needed to further control the situation and prevent the situation from getting out of control.

Many foreigners were sent to the capital. This is no longer something that foreigners want to come or not. After receiving the news, governments from all over the country sent them to the capital as soon as possible.

With the special appearance of foreigners, it would be impossible to hide in the Ming Dynasty. Local governments were also annoyed by these foreigners. If the court had not allowed them to be arrested and killed, these officials would have killed them long ago.

These foreigners are there to be fooling people’s hearts without any trouble. Do you know whether you are safe and stable? What are you making trouble?

After the news came from the court, the officials happily arrested these foreigners and asked the Jinyiwei to send them to the capital.

After these foreigners arrived in the capital, they naturally wanted to appease them. Zhu Youxiao also met and invited them to a banquet.

After fully expressing his sincerity, Zhu Youxiao handed over these foreigners to the Wei Dynasty and asked them to go to Xincheng.

There, Zhu Youxiao demarcated an area for foreigners, asking them to live there while helping to build a library, while asking them to help the Ming Dynasty conduct research, and also need to translate books.

The entire new city became much lively because of the arrival of these foreigners. After all, many scholars in the capital knew about them. People like Xu Guangqi and others were very happy and would occasionally communicate with them.

The entire new city actually created the illusion of cultural prosperity.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao asked the Wei Dynasty to send people to watch and strictly prohibit these foreigners from preaching. The reason given is very simple. The new doctrine has not been formulated yet. Your doctrine does not conform to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, nor does it conform to the public order and good customs of the Ming Dynasty. You are not allowed to preach at present. When will your new doctrine be compiled and when will you preach?

This matter was supported by the Ming Dynasty, and many scholars agreed with this matter, and even Xu Guangqi and the others couldn't say anything.

As for those missionaries, it would be nice not to make a noise.

They are not from the same country. If they all preach the original teachings, then there is nothing.

Now that the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the localization of doctrines is released, some of these foreigners think that the original doctrine should not be changed, some of them think that it is necessary to change, and some of them think that the person who changes is betrayed God.

These foreigners started to argue themselves, and some people were trying to get discord in the middle, so the effect was even better.

Don’t think that they are all from the same sect and unite. Most of the time, the most naked hatred between colleagues is often the most unrestrained.

After the internal strife of foreigners, Zhu Youxiao was very happy. He asked someone to watch them, as long as there was no fighting, others would go with them.

Everything was getting better, and Zhu Youxiao naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Youxiao came out of the palace, but he really couldn't come out.

Because something happened, the Yellow River broke its mouth!

When he heard the news that the Yellow River was breached, Zhu Youxiao could be said to be one of the first two.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ming Dynasty has not stopped. It can be said that it is a lot of messy things.

Not long after Zhu Youxiao left the capital, an earthquake occurred in Yangzhou. There was an earthquake in Su, Song, Feng, Si, Huai, Yang, Chuzhou and other places in Yingtian Prefecture, Nanzhi, and the same earthquake on the same day. More than 380 city walls were unloaded in Yangzhou and more than 20 city walls were more than 20 city walls.

Then a few days later, the Luanzhou earthquake in the capital was earthquake.

First on the 13th, Jizhou, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places repeatedly quake, destroying the city walls and ignoring the houses.

Later, Luanzhou was in a major earthquake, and countless houses were damaged, and foreign objects were swelling from the ground.

The old village of Leting was paved with black water, and the ground was cracked and the height was more than a foot.

The sound of moving to peace is like a huge thunder, and countless people's houses have been destroyed.

Lu Long shook down many houses in the government and the people.

The palaces in the capital are shaking and sounding, and the water in the copper jar fluctuates.

More than 20 prefectures and counties including Changli, Xin'an, Zhending Prefecture, Jizhou, Zunhua, Yutian, Hejian Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Tianjin, and Shandong Linyi, Deping, Haifeng, Wuding Prefecture, etc. were affected.

While Zhu Youxiao was busy causing trouble in Zhangjiakou, the court was busy providing disaster relief. After the disaster situation slowed down, war began in Liaodong.

Zhu Youxiao had just returned to the capital and took a breath, but the Yellow River broke its mouth in Xuzhou again.

These things made Zhu Youxiao very worried; the ministers in the court also looked very ugly.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne, with an ugly expression on his face.

His eyes slowly swept across all the ministers standing below, and Zhu Youxiao said, "Is there any result in the specific situation?"

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to send the imperial envoy to you." At this time, Xu Guangqi stood up and said directly: "The Yellow River breaks, check whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. If someone takes the opportunity to annex the land and exploit the people, the imperial envoy can make a decision for the people. Moreover, disaster relief is prone to malpractice, so it's better to send someone to see it."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, thinking that what Xu Guangqi said made sense.

Things like the Yellow River breaking is not like an earthquake.

You can't predict such a disaster, and you know that it is a natural disaster.

But things like breaking a river bank may not be fine. The court will allocate a sum of money to build a river bank every year. If it is not a particularly serious natural disaster, it will not break.

When a river bank breaks, it is either a natural disaster that is too serious or a man-made disaster. Moreover, under normal circumstances, corruption is involved.

There is another meaning to sending an imperial envoy to investigate. After all, the imperial court also requires money and food to provide disaster relief. There are some wealthy businessmen and local officials who are likely to collude with each other and cause trouble after the disaster.

The imperial court sent an imperial envoy to check whether local officials and merchants were corrupt. If so, they could confiscate their homes to provide disaster relief.

I don’t know if I have tasted the sweetness, but now the imperial court is familiar with investigating corruption and house confiscation.

Especially the loyal ministers of Zhu Youxiao were obviously used to making good things. People like Xu Guangqi even thought it would be good to confiscate their homes if there was a big deal.

Take the disasters this year for example. If Zhu Youxiao had not searched his home and got so much money, the court would have almost couldn't bear it.

Moreover, since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been asking people to build granaries and buy grain in various places, and this matter has never stopped. If this were not the case, where would the imperial court get the capital to go to Liaodong to fight? The disaster relief alone has made the court unable to stand it.

But it’s not OK to spend like this. Although His Majesty got some money in Zhangjiakou this time, the more money, the better.

Anyway, the Yellow River broke its mouth in Xuzhou, so let’s take a look.

Looking at the ministers below who looked as if they were taken for granted and those who agreed, Zhu Youxiao looked a little sad.

He suddenly realized something, that is, the ministers under his command seemed to have become accustomed to his style of doing things, and through him, they can connect with each other, eliminate dissidents and change candidates.

Now these people in the dynasty are their confidants.

There is a saying that the Tao is different and does not plan for each other, but in the court and in the officialdom, it is not just that. Only those who support themselves as emperor will be promoted.

Zhu Youxiao only promoted Xu Guangqi and others, and they quietly developed a party. Zhu Youxiao discovered that something had become much less opposed to his own affairs recently, which means that these people had formed a huge party.

I didn't even notice it. Was it too slow? Or was it because they did it silently? Or was it because they agreed with me?

The current situation is like Yan Song is in power. As long as the court is what Emperor Jiajing said and what he wants to do, there is nothing that cannot be done and no one will object.

As for those who come out to dance, someone will get them down.

Emperor Jiajing was impeached because he did too much.

Zhu Youxiao is different. Liaodong has just won a battle and is frugal every day. He always sends people to brag for him, the emperor, so that his reputation will be great.
