In the cold winter, the north wind is on the twelfth day of the year.

In the winter of this year, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace lived a better life. The emperor increased their treatment and supplies for them, so they did not have to worry about being frozen or hungry. The work was also adjusted every day, and each department performed its own duties, and the palace was running in an orderly manner.

Zhu Youxiao successfully became the emperor supported by eunuchs and palace maids, and senior eunuchs from various departments basically had no corruption at this time.

It is mainly because Zhu Youxiao put his mind into management. What is more important is to prevent corruption and rely on systems and management maintenance, rather than relying on personal morality and self-constraints, which is completely a cure for the symptoms but not the root cause.

On the morning court, the censor Feng Sanyuan impeached Liaodong ruling Xiong Yanbi for various crimes. More than 800 soldiers were killed in Puhe's defeat, so it became the reason for the Donglin Party to attack.

Xiong Yanbi is a sergeant official, but he is not afraid to fight and has some skills. Although Liaodong cannot be said to be crystal clear like an iron barrel, it is unlikely that Haci will achieve greater results. As long as Xiong Yanbi is here, Chenyang will be basically solid.

However, Xiong Yanbi was the mortal enemy of the Donglin Party. He served as the censor in the court and specifically attacked the Donglin Party. Therefore, he won the favor of Emperor Wanli. At the same time, because of his knowledge of military affairs, he became the governor of Liaodong.

The censor Feng Sanyuan impeached Xiong Yanbi, and Xiong Yanbi also quit his responsibility and wrote a letter to resign. Although Xiong Yanbi is a man with some talent, he has a bad temper and acts in anger and will eventually be unable to become a great person.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to reject the request of the Donglin Party on the grounds that it was inappropriate to change the commander in the last round, and tried to continue to arrange Xiong Yanbi in the position of Liaodong's strategy. Unexpectedly, Xiong Yanbi gave a memorial to make Zhu Youxia's plan aborted.

Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to approve Xiong Yanbi's resignation memorial, which once again made the Donglin Party succeed.

Then it was like that. The Donglin Party took the opportunity to elect Yuan Yingtai and asked Zhu Youxiao to appoint him as the Liaodong Strategic. Zhu Youxiao agreed without expression, and could only sigh in his heart. It seemed that Chen Yang was no longer safe.

In the late Ming Dynasty, as long as the Donglin Party was a faction to manage Liaodong, problems would happen immediately. Are the Donglin Party members all stupid pigs? Of course not, they are not stupid, but they are greedy.

The military pay in Liaodong alone is as high as more than 3 million taels per year, and sometimes it even exceeds 5 million taels. Coupled with the income from local settlement, what a huge expenditure this is.

The Donglin Party members wanted to fight for this position because they were greedy for money. The military pay of front-line soldiers was greedy, and sometimes even sold all their weapons and equipment for survival. After the ups and downs, the army would immediately be corrupt. In this way, how could the army fight?

Moreover, the bigwigs of the Donglin Party were almost greedy, so they would organize a wave of "forced warmth" activities, allowing a group of mobs to go out of the city to fight, and then be killed by wild boar skin to lose. In this way, Haci would not be wiped out, and the court would have to spend more money on Liaodong.

The generals raised the enemy and respected themselves, and the Donglin Party raised the enemy and became rich. When Haci was weak, the Donglin Party first built a wall to isolate Haci, so that Haci could digest the territory with peace of mind. When Haci was almost strong, the Donglin Party cooperated very much to tear down the wall, allowing Haci to continue to grow.

**The gang of Haci robbers robbed things, and these Donglin Party were also beneficial. Because the wild boar skin had to buy combat supplies from the Ming Dynasty, they had to trade with the Shanxi merchants. The Shanxi merchants earned money, so the big bosses of the Donglin Party naturally had to get the money.

The Liaodong issue is a complex triangular interest.

**Haci, the Donglin Party, and the Shanxi merchants cooperated and covered each other, and finally evolved into the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass. The Donglin Party was so disappointed that the hearts of the soldiers were countless. For example, during the Chongzhen period, Kong Youde rebelled in Denglai because Mao Wenlong was unwilling to cooperate with the Donglin Party members to gain benefits. Yuan Chonghuan, who defected to the Donglin Party, killed Mao Wenlong under the instructions of the Donglin Party, as a result, the sincerity of Kong Youde and others was disappointed, and finally embarked on the road of rebellion.

Wu Sangui, who was scolded in history, was actually just a pawn of the Donglin Party. In history, Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou was captured by the Qing Dynasty. The reason why he was able to escape back was only the secret transaction between the Donglin Party and the wild boar skin.

Because after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he tortured all officials and found 8 million taels of silver from the residences of these officials in the capital alone. At this time, all officials were naturally the Donglin Party. Li Zicheng and the Donglin Party completely broke up, and the Donglin Party naturally instructed Wu Sangui to turn against him and let the Qing Dynasty enter the pass and destroy Li Zicheng first.

But unexpectedly, after playing with it, the Donglin Party could no longer satisfy the growing appetite of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why the Qing Dynasty could capture the world was not that the Qing Dynasty could conquer and fight well, but the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were the main force of the Qing Dynasty to seize the world. Because the Qing Dynasty was barbaric enough, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty fought like cannon fodder. In addition, the Qing Dynasty could rely on looting to maintain logistics and form more troops, so the Qing Dynasty seized the world.

**The combat effectiveness of the robber gang, Haci, is not that terrifying. As long as there is no internal support, the Ming army has enough military pay and supplies, and it will be easy to replace a more reliable commander, destroying this robber gang.

Zhu Youxiao basically cleared away the fog of history through the linkage of interests and saw the essential problems. The Donglin Party had already put a lasso on the Ming Dynasty, which was getting tighter and tighter, and would eventually hang the Ming Dynasty. The more than one million people of the Ming Dynasty were suffering.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was still unable to resist and could only continue to endure.

The national finance still needs to be managed. Because Taicang warehouse is deficient, Zhu Youxiao went to court this day and once again urged Jiangnan to pay the overdue tax of more than 2 million yuan.

Under Zhu Youxiao's repeated urging, the two million taels of tax arrears in the Jiangnan area were finally collected slowly, temporarily making up for the deficit in Taicang.

It’s just that next year’s finances will be another headache.

Zhu Youxiao, who realized the crisis, accelerated his pace. After retiring from the court, Zhu Youxiao was so busy that he couldn't get down.

The "Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty" under construction has recruited the first batch of employees, three of which were shopkeepers dug from Shanxi Piaohao. They have sufficient experience. Ordinary employees have recruited more than a dozen, all of whom are young scholars and have sufficient cultural level. Zhu Youxiao plans to train these scholars as backbones.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was doing personnel training, how the bank operates, and business scope are all needed.

As long as the first batch of staff are trained, Zhu Youxiao will not have to worry about it later.

Another thing is to rectify the military battle situation. The military battle situation is the department that produces military equipment in the palace. Zhu Youxiao went to check it out and found that it was just a workshop.

Moreover, the military armor made in the military battle is more used for ceremonial wars, and the quality is not up to standard.

"The reason why the military weapons made by official craftsmen are not qualified is that the craftsmen are treated too low, so that craftsmen can only cut corners, otherwise they will not even be able to build military weapons." Sun Chengzong pointed out the problem for Zhu Youxiao.

Craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty were a low-ranking family. Because they were not well-fed enough, they were gradually poached by merchants, and many craftsmen were lost.

Zhu Youxiao was unable to get involved in the military equipment production of the Ministry of Works for a while, but the military battles in the twenty-four departments in the palace had absolute power.

Then Zhu Youxiao issued an imperial edict to summon craftsmen from various provinces to Beijing. Zhu Youxiao wanted to train the army, and craftsmen in the military battle were far from enough.

Zhu Youxiao decided to set up a "Royal Military Factory" outside the palace with the craftsmen in the military battle as the foundation.
