The cabinet is extremely cold and stern, and the wind and rain are in turmoil.

Sun Chuanting looked at the cabinet elders present, and said with a firm tone, "The evil words confuses the public, and the intentions are ulterior motives! In the name of ghosts and gods, attacking the court, what are the departments doing!"

Since Zhu Xu ascended the throne, rumors have never stopped. In and outside the palace, the Ming Dynasty, almost everywhere, and the attacks and harms on the Ming Dynasty have become increasingly deeper. Especially since Sun Chuanting took office, the attacks on the cabinet ministers including Sun Chuanting, the attacks of the six cabinet masters were like a rush, which brought endless disasters to Sun Chuanting's administration and the "new policy" of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, Sun Chuanting was really angry.

He is not afraid of those people outside, nor is he afraid of so-called rumors, but his place in Taishan is different and is too sensitive. If it touches the rebellious scales of the Ganqing Palace and arouses dissatisfaction, he, the chief assistant, may really be driven out of office in a mess!

"I have already talked with Shangshu Zhao. The Ministry of Personnel decided to set up a municipality control department to control these rumors and quickly suppress this matter!" Zhou Yingqiu said in a cold face and a calm tone.

This matter was not only worried by Sun Chuanting, but also by everyone in the cabinet.

King Jing said: "The Governor's General Assembly has sent forty censors to the city. They will soon find the person who compiles these rumors. They will definitely deal with it hard and kill one to warn a hundred!"

Sun Chuanting looked fierce, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and said, "One hour, I will only give you one hour! If I can hear rumors within one hour, I will retire, pull three of you, and then three Shangshu!"

This is a very terrible threat, and the hearts present are chilling, which shows that Sun Chuanting is really angry this time.

A group of cabinet masters left the palace one after another, and then the imperial cabinet, six ministries and many other yamen, had a rare move. The Tiqi, who had disappeared for many years, ran around the vast streets of the Ming Dynasty.

In just half an hour, he caught gangsters, rogues, street gangsters, some low-level officials, and some officials from the previous dynasty. Four or five hundred more people were added in half an hour in the capital prison!

"Sir, I'm wronged. I didn't smash that shop, let me go..."

"Sir, I don't. The Yang family's wife has nothing to do with us. I'm just passing by. Please beg for mercy..."

"Sir, sir, those rumors were not written by me, really not. I heard of them in a teahouse, and I just taught them to play with them..."

"Sir, sir, you can't be convicted for your words. The official said nothing, I really didn't say anything..."

In the prison, countless people were shouting, panic and fearful, desperately rushing to the prison guards, wishing they could rush out.

Some old people in the prison smiled and "comfort".

"Stop shouting, this is a prison. Either you have the means of heaven or just wait for a miracle, otherwise, behead your head or sit in the prison..."

"Hey, these newcomers will become honest after a while. They don't know the methods of these prisoners..."

"Wait. When I was a child, they would urinate several times a day, and they would urge it clearly. Oh, it's still tender..."

A group of old prisoners sat on the haystack, bored, commenting on these newcomers, and giving some advice.

In a cell among them, except for being a little cleaner, there was nothing else. The old prisoners did not comment. They each leaned against the wall and held grass in their mouths, with a leisurely and cold expression.

By the bed, there was a middle-aged man with dark skin and several scars. He leaned against him, never talking or interacting with others.

Because this man was the murderer of the family extermination case, he was sentenced to the killing of the marquis and was waiting for death, so no one dared to provoke him. This cell has a strange quietness.

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the arrested person, shook his head secretly, and sighed in his heart: "Sun Chuanting is much better than Bi Ziyan, life is not easy..."

The court's actions were so big that even the place felt under the pressure of the mountains and began to do things wildly.

On the Qinhuai River, hundreds of brothels and music workshops were seized overnight, and more than 500 people were arrested. In the entire Nanzhili, there were thousands of academies, brothels, music workshops, and various literary and book clubs!

Sun Chuanting's cabinet is becoming more and more powerful, and the local government is facing a great enemy. How dare you neglect it? A vigorous "removal of rumors" campaign swept across the entire Ming Dynasty. For this reason, nearly 10,000 people were arrested alone!

Countless memorials and impeachments, and some people from the "Not-in-Official Alliance" committed crimes against the wind. A joint letter from more than 100 scholars of the government and the country was published in the Su newspaper, the largest newspaper in Nanzhili.

Various great principles, such as the "The Disaster of Party and Prison", "blocking the way of speech, and leaving the people behind the fields", "The court is cruel and inferior, and all people are mourning", etc. Although they do not speak out directly, they are all angry and uneasy about the court's actions in their own words.

The huge pressure, like a tide, surged and surging towards the cabinet.

The old things about Fu Changzong were revealed again. However, without Luo Yangxing manipulating them behind the scenes, everything seemed inappropriate, quite scattered, and weak in attack power. Zhou Yingqiu took the backhand and dealt with them.

However, Sun Chuanting did not hesitate to a series of events caused by this case, which enriched the real power of a series of institutions of the court, and further extended his hand to the local government. The Governor and Dali Temple were quickly promoted. The Anti-Corruption Bureau was all implicated. More than 100 officials of the fifth and sixth rank were arrested in one go, spreading all over the court and the local government!

The instability and rebound caused by this poured into the court, into the cabinet, into Sun Chuanting, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Sun Chuanting was in the Qianqing Palace at this moment. He stood in front of Zhu Xu and said, "At present, the biggest resistance comes from the gentry forces that are staggering in the local area. If you don't move any more, the local area will shake three times. Although the court does not have enough ability, energy, comprehensive and concentrated handling of local affairs, such fragmented attacks may be a kind of preparation."

Zhu Xu was playing chess, staring at the black and white chess pieces, and casually 'um'.

Just like what he said to these old masters a few days ago that the Ming Dynasty wanted to break the Great Wall and the Aquarius in his head. He had already made preparations and made sufficient preparations for these things. Now it is natural and there is no resistance.

Sun Chuanting stood respectfully and said, "The Jinyiwei informed the cabinet that this time there was no participation from Luo Yangxing and others. It was purely those who opposed the 'New Deal' that were rebounding. I have dealt with it properly and will not disturb the Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Xu then smiled and turned his head, saying, "Well, I believe in your ability. There is no need to come here to report these things specifically, and do things with peace of mind."

Sun Chuanting still had a look of respect on his face and said, "Yes. I have coordinated with the General's Mansion. Their preparations are almost done. They may conquer them in advance. I ordered Shandong, Tianjin and Liaodong to do a good job in logistics and will not drag down the war."

Zhu Xu looked at him and said, "Not mentioning this for now. What are you planning to do next?"

Sun Chuanting said, "Consolidate the court, straighten out various institutions, strictly enforce authority, and promote the rectification of officials and expand from within the capital to outside the capital. The current important matter of the court is still the first priority of officials..."

Zhu Xu nodded and agreed: "Well, persevere, don't be afraid or retreat. You will personally preside over this year's imperial examination. The quota of Jinshi can be further expanded. After the ministers before Wanli, observe and see if there are any successful talents, and you can promote them. It is also very important to rectify the administration of officials and cultivate new people."

Sun Chuanting could understand Zhu Xu's good intentions and raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu said, "How are you preparing for the abolition of the prime ministers of various provinces?"

Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and said, "The Liaodong area is planned to be three provinces, Liaodong, Shanghe, Moyang, and Naxu area. There are 25 provinces in total in the Ming Dynasty. If there are prime ministers, it is beyond the reach. Now there is no need for prime ministers. I plan to recall the prime ministers to Beijing, and the parliament is ready. This month, it should be completed."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, what other plans do you have?"

Sun Chuanting said: "After this time, I plan to convene governors from all over the country to Beijing in batches, and then take concerted actions to promote reforms in all aspects to avoid changes in the court and affect local morale..."

Zhu Xu got down the soft collapse and stood up, saying, "This is very good. You talk first, I will see you again, and I will suppress you. These adults have been in the place for a long time and know all kinds of problems and difficulties. They will be afraid and retreat. They must give enough pressure..."

Sun Chuanting turned sideways and said, "Yes. What I mean is that they should act together and create momentum. As long as the momentum is complete, it will be difficult to retreat."

Zhu Xu walked to the desk and sat down and said, "Well, the idea is right, do it faster. You can go to the trade conference of Shenlong Mansion in person. In terms of business, you should make more preparations to promote development..."

Sun Chuanting said: "Yes. I also plan to do a two-pronged approach, business may also be a key to breaking the collusion between gentry."

Zhu Xu smiled. Sun Chuanting was still thinking more comprehensively. Apart from some blind spots, he basically didn't need to mention it.

When Sun Chuanting was facing the saint, hundreds of large ships in Dengzhou gathered and floated quietly on the water.

Cao Bianjiao and Dorgon stood side by side on a mountain, pointing to the sea and said, "Going north is Tsubasa Island. There is a base there. I took it two years ago. It is built very well now. It is suitable for large army stations and naval docking. The back is North Korea and the front is Jiuguo Island. It can attack and retreat and defend. It is an excellent place!"

Dorgon had studied the map in detail and nodded, "It's indeed a good place, but when transporting it, we have to see how many people are seasick and naval battles, we are not suitable for it."

Cao Bianjiao said: "Okay, come to Tsuma first, let's take a look. Tsuma is not far from Kyushu Island."

Dorgon looked calm, like a loyal general of the Ming Dynasty, and said, "Governor Cao, I want to meet Governor Yang, I wonder if it is appropriate?"

Governor Yang, also known as Yang Sichang, is the envoy of the expedition this time.

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, his face turned as usual, and said, "Governor Yang has gone to the Ekima, and there are 30,000 Mongolian troops over there."

Dorgon did not answer this, and silently said, "According to the information obtained by the generals, Japan is an island country with a difficult terrain and a very dense population. Their shogun is quite capable. Is it really enough for a hundred thousand troops?"

Cao Bianjiao glanced at him, smiled rarely, and said, "You are worried, and there are also governments and oppositions. Now it is summer harvest, and Japan must be in a state of turmoil. Their fatality is that there are no fortresses and no restraints. All the places are within the range of our Ming Dynasty attack, and Japan will definitely be defeated!"

Dorgon almost nodded subconsciously, but actually disagreed.

Japan is an island country with many mountainous lands, many islands, peninsular, complex roads, fierce weather and dense population. If it is a stalemate, it will be difficult to pacify.

When the Ming people marched, they always abide by the "rituals and laws" and only punished the evil people. The rest were pardoned. Wouldn't this be endless?

He didn't say these things, his identity was very sensitive and he couldn't speak much at this time.

Cao Bianjiao didn't know what kind of thoughts he had. He seemed to know everything, but in fact he had many reservations and did not tell Dorgon.

At the same time, the Ryukyu and North Korean troops were easily concentrated. They were not stationed in Tsuma Island, but went to the Satsuma tribe in Kagoshima and were assigned by Zuo Liangyu. In this way, the Satsuma tribe's army had 20,000, and they temporarily expanded, nearly 30,000!

To the south of Sakhalin Island is the Hokkaido Island. The Hokkaido had a very famous name in later generations: Hokkaido.

Today's Hokkien Island is still desolate, with a sparse population, and the cultivation is not good. Even though there have been immigrants in the Ming Dynasty in recent years to prevent the cultivation of the Ming Dynasty, the relatively large island is still only in one corner.

The 30,000 Mongolian army has been stationed here, looking at its own island across the Jinqing Strait.

At this time, Yang Sichang and Qian Jinxiao, director of the Staff Office, were discussing specific strategies in the camp.

Qian Jinxiao looked at the map with a serious expression and said, "The previous idea was good, but I landed in close range, took Edo and collapsed Japan in one fell swoop. But it was not said whether I could arrive in Edo smoothly. If the Tokugawa shogunate led them to retreat in advance, we would not be able to pursue it for a long time, without support and logistics support. If we fall into a hard battle again, it may be wiped out and affect the overall plan..."

Yang Sichang looked at the map without any displeasure, and he stared at the map, saying, "The General's Mansion's concern is right. The situation in Japan is complicated. We should take action step by step, make steady progress, and ensure victory... However, we cannot wait, we cannot turn the war into a stalemate, and we cannot continue to waste..."

The situation in the Ming Dynasty did not allow long-term intensive battles, and money and food could not support it.

Qian Jinxiao said: "Then, what do you think? The emperor has authorized you to command on the front line and never make any mistakes."

Yang Sichang said with a blank expression: "There is still time. Let's review the strategies and tactics again, formulate a quick and appropriate plan, order the troops to step up their positions, and order the MIIS to keep a close eye on the Japanese side!"

"Yes!" Qian Jinxiao saluted and said in a deep voice.

Yang Sichang stared at the map, looked at it for a while, and said, "The tactics in the early stage remained unchanged. The navy separated the Shiguo Island from the national island and Jiuguo Island. Dorgon's 50,000 troops took over Shiguo Island!"
Chapter completed!
