Chapter 341 Marriage
In the imperial study room, Zhu Xu took a sip of tea.
Zhu Zonghan came in first, with this notes in his hand. While reading, he looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Emperor, Lin Danhan captured Chen/Yang, but before he could do anything, Huang Taiji arrived. He killed some more, and was about to escape. Huang Taiji chased to Liao/Xi and killed most of the horses. Now he has run back to Cha/Ha/Or."
Zhu Xu shook his head and smiled, saying, "Lin Danhan learned the news so long in advance, and is still obsessed with breaking through Chen/yang, and he has a strong desire to take revenge."
Zhu Zonghan said with no expression on his face: "It is said that he had killed a lot of people. Amin was almost killed in a murderous manner and hid in the cottage to escape. Many other Beile and ministers were killed. In addition, Nurhaci's tomb was dug up."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows. This time, Lin Danhan and Huang Taiji are going to die.
"Well," Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Continue to keep watching. Also, especially the matter of firearms, you must pay more attention. I will never allow Jiannu to own firearms, especially cannons!"
Zhu Zonghan bowed and said, "Yes."
"What's the news on Mongolia?" Zhu Xu said, after the defeat of the Later Jin Dynasty, the cavalry was sharply reduced and its strength was very weak. I believe that their Mongolian and ancient allies would have other thoughts.
Zhu Zonghan said: "There seems to be abnormal movements in Kalaqin, Naiman, Khalkha and other tribes, but there are no specific actions for the time being."
Zhu Xu's head thought, "Lin Danhan has also made contributions this time, and I should give him a reward."
As he said that, he turned to look at Cao Huachun and said, "I remember, there are some problems with the cannon designed by Bi Maokang?"
Cao Huachun turned around and said, "Yes, it is said that although the range is long, the requirements for shells are very high, and it is easy to explode the chamber."
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Well, tell Bi Maokang that he would make some more improvements. The shells should be designed more special. Outsiders cannot imitate them. If you produce twenty pieces, I will reward Lin Danhan. I believe he will be very happy."
Cao Huachun said: "Abide by the order."
Zhu Zonghan didn't say anything. He knew very well that there were many tribes in Mo/Nan/Mongol/Gu, and most of them had an ambiguous relationship with Jiannu. Although the Chaha/er tribe was strong, it was not enough. Lin Danhan really wanted to make a difference and would be very happy about the cannons of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xu was thinking of the ammunition supplier and said calmly: "Mongolian and ancient departments should also keep a close eye on them. If there is any disturbance, come and report it to me in time."
"Yes." Zhu Zonghan bowed.
Zhu Zonghan left, and Luo Yangxing also came in.
Zhu Xu asked directly: "I plan to garrison 130,000 troops in Yunnan, Zuo Liangyu's 30,000 Tiger Shooting Army, Zhao Shujiao has another 100,000 cavalry, and cooperate with 100 cannons. How likely do you think it is to retrieve the two Xuanwei Divisions of Meng Yang and Mubang?"
Since Zhu Xu sent him to Yunnan, Luo Yangxing has guessed that there was one day, and he pondered for a while, and said, "Emperor, Myanmar is now in trouble, with many rebels, and many people miss our Ming Dynasty. If there are more than 100,000 troops and hundreds of cannons, and suddenly send troops, there will be a great victory."
Luo Yangxing's words were very vague and did not explain them specifically.
Zhu Xu understood what he meant. Myanmar had been fighting with the Ming Dynasty since the tenth year of Wanli. It took decades and only stopped silently more than ten years ago. Many people now know the combat power of Myanmar and it is not so easy to defeat.
Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, thought silently, and said for a long time: "You sent three thousand households and Zhao Shujiao to Yunnan to find out all aspects of Myanmar. Apart from war, where is suitable for farming and reclamation, and the fertile land must be checked and entered at the right time. Since you want to fight, you must have results. I cannot waste military and civilian power in vain..."
Luo Yangxing was a little worried, afraid that Zhu Xu was a warlike emperor who was a good martial arts master and was determined to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and agreed quietly.
Zhu Xu paused and said, "In addition to Myanmar, Annan should also find out clearly. First, provoke their internal struggles, let's be fishermen..."
Luo Yangxing saw that Zhu Xu was not overwhelmed by the Liao/Dong war, and felt relieved, and said, "Abide by the order."
After Zhu Xu said this, he didn't ask again. He spoke so hard that he picked up another cup of tea.
After Luo Yangxing saw Zhu Xu, he said, "Emperor, King Xin has had a secret meeting with Yuan Chonghuan several times before. King Fu and others seem to intend not to enter the capital. There are also several princes who are a little tangent with the outside of the pass."
As he said that, he took out a memorial and handed it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu took it, flipped it over, and said, "Well, I know all these, don't move them for now. After you go back, you will hand over the places involving Zhang/Jiakou and other trading with Mongolia and Jiannu to the Ministry of Revenue."
Luo Yangxing also knew that the emperor had other information channels, so he bowed and said, "Yes."
Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nanbei, when coach Zhao Rui is safe, you will take action. At most one or two years, you can have more snacks and go."
"Yes." Luo Yangxing agreed.
After Zhu Xu finished all this, he stood up and said, "Let's go to Cining Palace."
Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu and smiled while walking, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress asked the imperial kitchen to prepare early in the morning. Now there is a big table waiting for delicious food."
Zhu Xu also smiled, that is, Cining Palace could make him feel comfortable and happy from the bottom of his heart. He put his hands behind his back and thought for a while, "Well, what's wrong with the emperor's sister-in-law recently?"
Cao Huachun said, "This, I don't know."
Zhu Xu nodded and thought to himself that his palace was clean and neat, and he thought there would be no unopposed things.
"You have a half-day vacation. If you have any things to do, go and do it."
Cao Huachun did have something to do, so he bowed and smiled, "I thanked the emperor."
Zhu Xu waved his hand and strode into Kunning Palace.
I could hear Xiao Yongning's giggle from afar.
The little guy is over one year old and can speak or walk simply.
"I've seen the Emperor."
Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs saluted one after another, and Zhu Xu waved his hand and walked into the room.
Xiao Yongning held the small stool with both hands, held the drum in his hand, and was happily beating on the stool.
As Zhu Xu walked in, the little guy looked over, blinked first, and was about to run over. Zhu Xu quickly trotted a few steps, hugged the little guy, and looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Yongning, do you think of the emperor's uncle..."
The little guy opened his big eyes, looked happy, and his little hands pulled his clothes, and said in a slight voice: "Uncle... is delicious..."
Zhu Xu laughed, picked her up, and said, "Yes, I will take you out of the palace tomorrow, and I will have whatever I want to eat..."
Xiao Yongning giggled, as if she was tickling, and her little body twisted and said, "Chicken...chicken legs..."
Zhu Xu smashed her mouth, pinched her little face, and said, "Your emperor likes to eat chicken legs, choose something else."
"Chicken legs..." The little guy also pinched Zhu Xu's face without compromise.
Zhu Xu laughed loudly, Empress Dowager Zhang came over, carried the little guy over, and said softly, "Sit down quickly, I've been bored today, I have as many as I want to eat."
The little guy pulled Zhu Xu's clothes and was reluctant to let go, and shouted: "Chicken legs, uncle..."
Zhu Xu was really happy and said, "Okay, today I will make an exception and give you one!"
The little guy didn't know if he understood or didn't understand, so he was happily talking.
The dishes are opened one by one, the fragrance is refreshing and refreshing.
Zhu Xu saw the white and tender chicken legs at first sight, and he reached out to pull them.
Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted him with chopsticks and said angrily, "I have been ascending the throne for so long, but I still have no demeanor at all."
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "I see that Xiao Yongning is hungry and I want to give it to her first."
Xiao Yongning cooperated very well and stretched out his hand and said, "Chicken legs..."
Empress Dowager Zhang glared at him again, tore off the two chicken legs, handed one to Zhu Xu, and the other to Xiao Yongning carefully.
Zhu Xu took a hard bite, and then he felt relieved and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh.
Empress Dowager Zhang had no choice but to do anything to him, so she asked, "Are you injured in Liaodong?"
Zhu Xu waved his hand, his mouth full of chicken, and said, "It's delicious and delicious, I haven't seen any war."
Only then did Empress Dowager Zhang feel relieved and asked carefully about the matters during this period.
Zhu Xu had something or nothing, and he said while eating, and he didn't remember what he said until he finished eating.
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head, handed him a towel, and said, "Tell you, Ningde, Yong'an, Suiping is old, and it's time to arrange a marriage."
Zhu Xu was stunned and blinked, then he remembered that Empress Dowager Zhang was talking about his sisters and three princesses. These three were about the same age, and they should be sixteen or seventeen this year.
Zhu Xu looked at Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, is there anyone who chooses?"
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head and said, "This is what the old concubine said a few days ago. I remembered that all three of them lived in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, and it is not very common on weekdays."
Zhu Xu thought of Concubine Liu and thought to himself, "Then, what did the old Concubine say?"
Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The old concubine means royal rules, and they can also be ruled by power, and they may not necessarily be chosen from ordinary people's homes."
Zhu Xu understood that marriages have always been the best way to win over. Concubine Liu wanted to borrow the marriages of several princesses to help him further consolidate his status and situation.
After thinking about it, Zhu Xu said, "I am not very close to the three emperor sisters. The emperor sister can go around and ask if she has time. If there is someone who meets her, tell me, if not, I will help me get together."
There is no place to choose a royal marriage. Empress Dowager Zhang just pretended that Zhu Xu's words were a scene, nodded and said, "Eat quickly, wipe your mouth, let's go to Renshou Palace."
Zhu Xu drank some soup, wiped his mouth, and then went to Renshou Hall with Mr. Zhang.
Concubine Liu was in good spirits today and was pulling Li Jieyu and saying something.
"The emperor is here, sit down quickly." As soon as Concubine Liu saw Zhu Xu, she pulled him to her side and looked at him with a smile: "Well, it's not bad. This time the emperor has given the Emperor of Shenzong a face!"
The old concubine is over 80 years old and has a lot of strength in her hands. Zhu Xu's face is not moving, but she complains in her heart. She glances at Li Jieyu and smiles, "It's all the credit of Master Sun and the others, and I haven't done anything."
The old concubine was covered in silver hair and smiled and said, "It's great if you don't give up too much or take credit for the best."
Zhu Xu laughed with her, and the old concubine said for a while, as if she suddenly remembered it, and said, "By the way, the emperor, how do you think of your three sisters' marriage?"
