Chapter 43 Goodbye Yu Dayou

Although Zhu Yijun has been the emperor for more than five years, except for Zhang Juzheng, he really doesn't have many ministers. He is not familiar with the two Grand Secretary Lu Diaoyang in the cabinet, let alone Zhang Siwei, who entered the cabinet later.

Zhang Siwei looks in her forties, not tall, not very strong, and looks a little thin.

But he was in good spirits. After coming in, Zhang Siwei hurriedly saluted Zhu Yijun and said, "I am Zhang Siwei joining the emperor!"

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "No gift!" He also turned to Zhang Jing not far away and said: "Turn a stool for Mr. Zhang, I will sit down and Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang, and said!"

As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, I still have the treatment of giving this in private.

After Zhang Siwei was done, Zhu Yijun spoke, "In the morning court today, the imperial envoy impeached Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of War. What do you think about this matter?" After saying this, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Siwei with a smile.

Zhu Yijun's problem was not beyond Zhang Siwei's expectations. He pondered for a moment and said, "I think this is nonsense."

"Your Majesty, I am from Shanxi. I know very well what Shanxi looked like before. When I was young, the Tartars always violated it." Zhang Siwei said with a confident look: "The people's lives were difficult at that time!"

"Since Wang Shangshu governed Shanxi and Shaanxi, this situation has improved greatly."

"Wang Shangshu went through the formation, practiced the war and defended the war, accepted the surrender and attached, and sent several troops to rush the nest, which made the Tatars dare not go south. Later, he started a battle with the Tatars. The war was no longer there in Shanxi and Shaanxi for many years."

"I think that Shangshu Wang is not only unforeseen, but also has made contributions."

Zhu Yijun nodded. In fact, what Zhang Siwei said was not beyond Zhu Yijun's expectations. Zhang Siwei is now following Zhang Juzheng's footsteps, not showing his position at all, and he looks like he is following Zhang Juzheng.

He looks loyal, but he is actually very cunning.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't care and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Zhang said that, then Mr. Zhang will draft an order to praise Mr. Wang. As for what to reward, Mr. Zhang will do it according to the rules of the cabinet."

"Those who impeach Lord Wang, issue an order to denounce him!"

Zhang Siwei was stunned and did what I said? Although he was suspicious, Zhang Siwei still said quickly: "Yes, the emperor, I will do it when I go back!"

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "It's so good."

Zhang Siwei's efficiency was still very fast. The imperial edict that praised Wang Chonggu was soon received, and the reward was also given to Wang Chonggu. Those who impeached Wang Chonggu were also criticized, but the matter was not over yet, but someone wrote a letter to impeach Wang Chonggu.

This time it was not a crime that had been impeached by Wang Chonggu before, but a person recommended by Wang Chonggu, who was Liang Menglong, the governor of Ji Liao. Speaking of which, the Minister of War recommended the governor of Ji Liao, this is also a very normal thing.

If there is any problem with the person you recommend and promote, you will naturally be responsible. There are naturally such rules in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

In fact, although Liang Menglong was recommended by Wang Chonggu, he was indeed Zhang Juzheng's person. Together with Qi Jiguang, the general of Ji Liao, stabilized the situation in Ji Liao. When Zhu Yijun saw this memorial, he immediately frowned.

This is obviously someone is causing trouble!

The goal was to focus on the border affairs in the west, and now it was to focus on the border affairs in the east. Although it pointed directly at Wang Chonggu, Zhu Yijun could always feel the smell of conspiracy from it. Why do you always feel that someone is diverting his attention and trying to shift the attention of the court from the government to the border affairs.

What impressed Zhu Yijun the most about this was Liaodong in the later Ming Dynasty. No matter what round of party struggles, it would definitely be the event of Liaodong.

Zhu Yijun took a look and threw the memorial aside, saying directly: "I'm really not idle!"

Zhu Yijun ignored such memorials. What he wanted to do now was to meet Yu Dayou. Since he threw Yu Dayou to the imperial guards, he had never seen Yu Dayou. Before Zhu Yijun waited for too long, Yu Dayou walked in from outside.

After seeing Yu Dayou, Zhu Yijun smiled. Although he was a little darker than when he saw Yu Dayou last time, he was still very energetic.

Seeing that Yu Dayou was about to kneel down and salute, Zhu Yijun went up to support Yu Dayou and said with a smile: "General Yu, don't have any gifts and mercy. I haven't seen General Yu for some days. I'll have dinner in the palace today and have a good chat with me."

Yu Dayou felt flattered and hurriedly said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Seeing Yu Dayou's awkward look, Zhu Yijun didn't care. In fact, compared to Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou had a more temper with Zhu Yijun. This old man was loyal and honest, but he was also a lot of guilt because of his bad temper.

To be honest, Zhu Yijun really wanted to meet Qi Jiguang. There are many famous generals in this era, but Qi Jiguang is the most famous.

In addition to Yu Long and Qi Hu, there are also Dong Li Xima among the younger generations. Dong Li naturally refers to Li Chengliang, while Xima refers to Ma Gui. Of course, there are also a lot of other famous generals, and there are also many civil servants who can fight in this era.

Zhu Yijun pulled Yu Dayou to talk about the Warriors Camp and the Four Guards Camp, and talked endlessly about Yu Dayou.

First, we talked about the equipment issue. Yu Dayou didn’t say that the equipment of the Four Guards and Warriors Battalions was not good. After all, they were imperial guards. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the equipment was definitely the best. Yu Dayou felt that their equipment had many unreasonable aspects and needed adjustments.

Without hesitation, Zhu Yijun agreed directly and asked Chen Ju, who was in the military battle, to cooperate with him.

Chen Ju casts cooked iron for Zhu Yijun to make cooked iron cannons, but the experiment has not been successful yet. However, it is still okay to use the iron to build some equipment for Yu Dayou, and Zhu Yijun gave him support.

After talking about the equipment, Zhu Yijun obviously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Dayou.

Zhu Yijun was helpless. Yu Dayou seemed to be unaccustomed to it. It was probably because he was scared by the civil servants who were in charge of military supplies before.

After finishing things, Yu Dayou then talked about the matter about the Four Guards and Battalions, how many old and weak have been eliminated, how many people have been removed, how many people have been trained, how to improve combat effectiveness, etc. Zhu Yijun listened very seriously and gave some suggestions from time to time.

Although Zhu Yijun's military knowledge was very lacking, Zhu Yijun still couldn't help but talk about something from later generations.

For example, military posture and stance, you should know that the muskets of this era are queuing guns, and the formation and lineup mean power. The more rigorous and unchaotic the lineup, the greater the power. Zhu Yijun also hopes to combine some training methods from later generations with this era.
