Chapter two hundred and twenty first shocking waves

As Yuan Keli and his three-member army rolled south, the court talked everywhere.

Because the 70,000 troops were not only exhausted, but also the garrisons in the coastal areas also loudly opposed it.

In the court discussion, both the Donglin Party and the neutral ministers had a lot of complaints, and they all believed that the command of the coastal garrisons in various places was enough. Moreover, the number of troops in various places was that there was no need to recruit troops again and waste the imperial taxes.

Also, the two ministers of the Ministry of Works and Rites are now vacant, and there are only two auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, and the ministers have argued for more than two hours.

Zhu Xu always spoke without saying a word. When they were tired of fighting, they ended the court meeting with a word of "Another discussion".

July fifteenth.

As soon as the court discussion ended, Zhu Xu hurriedly left Huangji Palace and asked while walking: "How is it, what's the news over the mountain and east?"

Cao Huachun followed him quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yuan has come to report the incident. The siege of the coastal bandits has been basically eliminated, but the land bandits are spreading across the mountains, and there are many garrisons in the east. It is difficult to completely eliminate them."

At present, the bandits are not seriously affected by the military and political corruption. The local garrisons are like officials and bandits. If the official army is not rectified, it will be difficult to eliminate the bandits.

Zhu Xu paused and said, "Issued an order, Yuan Keli and the other two continued to go south. He ordered Lu Xiangsheng to complete the army and advance to Ji, Nanfu, and then ordered Sun Chengzong to go to the mountain in person. Dong, and the mountain must be transformed as soon as possible and the east will be completed!"

Cao Huachun's face changed slightly and he said, "Emperor, Lord Sun will leave Beijing, and no one will be in charge of the Ministry of War."

Zhu Xu walked quickly and waved his hand and said, "Ministry of War is fine, let Ho Weihua stare."

Cao Huachun didn't know why Zhu Xu was so anxious, but he didn't dare to ask and agreed.

Zhu Xu came to Wenzhao Pavilion, Luo Yangxing and Zhu Zonghan were already waiting.

The two of them knelt on one knee at the same time, "I bow to the emperor."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, sat on the soft collapse and looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me about the situation."

Luo Yangxing said, "Return to the emperor, Guang, the deputy general of the West rebelled, colluded with Yun, and the rioters in the south, and now they have entered Huguang, Dutch soldiers entered Penghu, and Annan people are also disturbing the border."

Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse and drank a sip of tea, with a calm expression.

At this time of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it was a troublesome time, with internal and external troubles.

Thinking that Huang Taiji will come to power next year, Nurhaci, who is not a fair-going Nurhaci, is young and strong and ambitious. After he comes to power, he launches a southern invasion almost every year. In addition, the natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty will become heavier and heavier, and Zhu Xu's pressure will be increasing.

He took a deep breath, stood up and walked a few steps, and said, "Continue to stare and speed up the deployment, there should be more carrier pigeons. Cao Huachun sent an order to general Penghu, Guang, and Xidu Command Office to prepare for war. Whether it was the Dutch, Annan, or the rioters, they would severely suppress them, and reinforcements arrived soon. At the same time, he sent an order to Yang Sichang, from He and Nan, went all the way into Jiang, to pacify bandits in Xi, and Qin Liangyu sent an order to lead troops into Huguang, and wipe out all the bandits."

"Abide by the order!"

One by one, the decrees were sent from the palace, and it was difficult to hide them.

The court officials were talking and loudly opposed it. They flew into the ritual tutors. Even Zhu Youjian and Sun Chengzong felt that Zhu Xu was too anxious and advised him not to make a hurry. If he was anxious, he could not eat hot tofu, which would only cause more chaos.

They didn't know Zhu Xu's pressure. If they don't hurry up and train soldiers and sweep away bandits, it will only become more and more difficult to overcome next year.

In August, the bandits in Jiang, Su, Zhejiang and Jiang were basically eliminated, and the two provinces were relatively small and had no choice but to jump. Sun Chuanting and Yuan Keli were all very capable people. While suppressing bandits, they calmly recruited various garrisons. After a few rounds and rounds, they disrupted the original system.

When Sun Chengzong came, a group of people who were promoted to the army, demoted the officials, and the deposed decreed were directly transferred from the mountain to the capital.

As the soldiers gradually became more powerful, the 70,000 army was like a sharp sword, sweeping over the wind and rushing towards Fu and Jian.

Fu and Jian are the most complex. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The three departments of the governor, the inspector, and the command department are intricately related. The local garrisons are also connected together. There has been an offensive and defensive alliance. Sun Chuanting almost failed to enter the city. It was still Man Gui's temper and the cavalry set up a formation to threaten the attack. Fu and Zhou opened the city gate.

Sun Chuanting was also angry, so he took out the king's command arrow and invited the Du Command Office and the local garrisons to the yamen, and then all of them were under house arrest. Thirty thousand troops rushed forward, suppressing the Du Command Office, and almost barbaric and forced to rectify them vigorously.

When Sun Chengzong arrived, Sun Chuanting had almost finished rectifying it.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng shocked a group of officials and bandits in Shandong. When Sun Chengzong left, he also received the order and led his troops to work with Yang Sichang to enter Anhui from Henan, turn to Jiangxi, and go straight to Huguang.

Qin Liangyu had the most powerful army. Sichuan had wars and wars. She was full of elite soldiers and generals. She fought for half her life and was familiar with the four southwest provinces. The 50,000 troops were divided into three groups and headed south from Sichuan.

Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi and West was also preparing for war and frequently consolidated his troops in Shaanxi, Xishan and West.

The Ming Dynasty had nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country. If you trace back to this action, it is only in the last few days that Korea mobilized so many soldiers during the three major expeditions, even if the Ming Dynasty fought against Nurhaci, it only took 150,000.

With such a big arrangement, the waves stirred up in the court were not a small matter. Princes, ministers, royal family members, and countless memorials flew into the palace, asking the emperor to act cautiously and not cause chaos in the world.

In the end, even Queen Zhang was alarmed and came to the Qing Palace in person. In name, Xiao Yongning missed the emperor's uncle, so he still persuaded him quietly.

On August 15th, Wen Zhao Pavilion.

Zhu Xu flipped through the memoir and felt very stressed.

With the mobilization of troops in the world, the bandits in all parts of the country have not only not decreased, but have been in a turbulent wave of war. There have been rebellions one after another. There are three generals in the four southwest provinces alone, with more than 3,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 collusion with the rioters!

Zhu Youjian requested an order to send three governors and four governors to bring ethics to appease all over the country.

Zhu Xu wrote the word "Ting Announcement" on the memorial and put it aside, and then he saw that various places asked for more military salaries.

With the implementation of military system reform in various places, more and more personnel needing to be resettled. Not only the nearly 300,000 troops of food, drink, defecation, and slaughter. All provinces, prefectures and counties are short of money, and then they keep reaching out to the court.

Zhu Xu sat there and thought for a moment that in just half a year, the treasury and his treasury would be almost 20 million taels of silver!

"Spend money like flowing water."

Zhu Xu sighed, he had to give this money. He just beaten a stick and lost his heart if he didn't give it to others.

In fifteen provinces, Zhu Xumo calculated for a while and looked up at Cao Huachun and said, "I will send an order to the cabinet. Each province will have a resettlement fee of 500,000 taels, and the funds will be used for the purpose of the special amount, and it will not be moved privately."

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, his heart was bleeding, and this was another six million and a half million taels.

Cao Huachun bowed and said, "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu suppressed his heartache and said while flipping the note: "How is the East Factory integrating now?"

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu and hesitated for a while and said, "Feng Zhu, his ability is still a little lacking. Dongchang has expanded so much at once, so he can't hold back."

“Can’t hold back…”

Zhu Xu raised his head, squinted his eyes, slapped the slash in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly, and suddenly said: "You go to the Ministry of Justice in person and bring Wei Zhongxian to me, don't let people know."

Cao Huachun was shocked. He had a vague premonition a long time ago. Now that the waves of the country are rolling, if this person comes out again, he will probably not be waves, but shocking waves!
