The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60: Daming's future (1)

"His Royal Highness, let me talk about the bad side." Xu Yingyuan remained calm. "Actually, the reason is the same as the last time. It's just that Your Royal Highness's current status is higher, and the jealousy will be heavier. People who are jealous of Your Highness will also be more serious. More. But because His Royal Highness is the emperor’s brother and will not become a prince in the future, there will not be a group with His Royal Highness as the core, and those who agree with and support His Highness will not desperately protect His Highness."

Won't be a prince? Zhu Youjian muttered Xu Yingyuan's words silently. Could it be that Daming's history will change because of his arrival? Really can't become the emperor of Ming Dynasty? Does it make sense to do all this by yourself

In the future world, if you can't see through it, others will be even more at a loss.

No matter what the future is, we must do well now.

Opportunities will only favor those who are prepared. If you become a prince who eats and waits to die, once the opportunity comes, you will not be able to grasp it. Not only will you not be able to pass through, but it will also disappoint the expectations of the Qingyuan master and Xiaoyu.

Thinking of Xiao Yu, Zhu Youjian couldn't help smiling in his heart. Can he see her again? When she didn't have any preparations, Xiao Yu broke into her heart. When she was ready to accept her, she floated away like the white cloud in the sky without any scruples.

Xu Yingyuan's drinking water interrupted Zhu Youjian's meditation, "Yingyuan, you said, will the supervisor impeach me and force the emperor's brother to take his life back?"

"Not for the time being. Your Majesty has just made contributions in Shandong. This military merit is not like a falsification of political achievements. So the officials still dare not impeach Your Highness. However," Xu Yingyuan frowned slightly, "I can't come, they may Those who come secretly can at least investigate your Royal Highness secretly and look for any place where His Highness is unscrupulous, so that you can make a fatal blow to your Highness in the future.

"Who will investigate me? Who will attack me?" Zhu Youjian was very disgusted with the infighting of the Ming court. He flaunted himself and attacked others. His own advantages were infinitely magnified, and the shortcomings of others were on the line, without political integrity. And moral bottom line. The last time the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party were above the court, in front of the emperor brother, they wanted to end their political life without principle.

"It's all possible." Xu Yingyuan is quite sober about Daming's political situation, but he is an eunuch and cannot interfere in Ming's political affairs, at least in name. "The Donglin Party advertises itself as a strong loyal minister and the most important group of imperial power in Ming Dynasty. For His Highness who violated the ancestral system and went to the military camp privately, he would attack in groups like the last time; while the Eunuch Party, although not as good as Donglin The party cherishes feathers like that, but they especially value the power in their hands and will never allow a center of power to be formed around His Highness that can compete with them."

Since the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party cannot tolerate themselves, the only thing they can form an alliance with is the army. Although the army is also inextricably linked with the two parties, it is better than fighting alone. It seems that Qin Yongnian and Li Chunye are more supportive of them.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian especially valued himself and Qin Yongnian's layout in Shandong. "Ying Yuan, let's go to the Ministry of War."

In the main hall of the Ministry of War, Zhu Youjian saw Li Chunye again.

This time the two met individually.

"His Royal Highness, come to the Ministry of War to report so soon? You can take office after ten days." Li Chunye, who has always been unsmiling, greeted him with a smile this time.

"Master Li," Seeing Li Chunye's strangeness, Zhu Youjian immediately understood that Li Chunye must have made arrangements, but he didn't know the result. "It's not urgent to take office, but this imperial decree is only a reward for me, why is there no commendation for Fenwuying?"

"Haha, don't worry, Your Highness, there has been an imperial decree sent to Shandong to commend all officers and soldiers of the Fenwu Camp." Li Chunye maintained a calm smile, the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes raised high, and the marks of the wind knife and frost sword were very deep.

He looked at Zhu Youjian, now very proud, like a fox who knows that the little chicken will throw himself into the net.

"Then General Qin?" Zhu Youzhen really became a chicken. What he cared about was Qin Yongnian's arrangement, which was related to his layout in Shandong, especially the formation of the navy.

"The emperor has a purpose, General Qin was promoted to General Zhaowu, and served as the general army of Shandong; Li Yuan was appointed as Shandong chief envoy, his Highness is satisfied?" Li Chunye twisted his beard, which was not too long, as if playing with Zhu Youjian's mind.

"Thank you Lord Li." Zhu Youjian let go. Shandong's writing and martial arts are all arranged according to his own ideas. I don't know if Xiao Yu helped him in the dark. "But I have another request."

"His Royal Highness, please say, as long as I can do it." Li Chunye didn't know what trick Zhu Youjian had played. In fact, Qin Yongnian and Li Yuan were both exceptionally promoted. Although he did his best, the key is Zhu Youxiao. If it were not for Zhu Youxiao's full support, Li Chunye really didn't know if he could solve it. He secretly prayed in his heart that it is best to solve the problem of "one plus one equals several".

"Shandong Wubei collapsed. Can Fenwuying be allowed to stay in Shandong for two months? Although Qin Yongnian is an excellent military officer, he is a little benevolent, and Shandong's armed forces are seriously damaged. Without the protection of Fenwuying, he is afraid that his own safety It's the problem."

"His Royal Highness is now the commander of the Fenwu Camp, you can decide for yourself. However, the transfer of the army is a major issue. The old minister has made two points. First, the Shandong Japanese pirates have been wiped out, and the Fenwu Camp can be withdrawn to the capital in batches; second, you can stay. A small number of officers and soldiers served as Qin Yongnian's personal soldiers." Li Chunye, who was familiar with Ming's military system, quickly solved Zhu Youjian's problem. In his eyes, this is the question of "one plus one equals several".

"Thank you, Mr. Shangshu, and the younger generation also thanked Mr. Qin on behalf of General Qin." The smooth implementation of the Shandong layout, Li Chunye must have done a lot of work behind the scenes. Zhu Youjian's gratitude is from the heart.

"Your Highness is serious. I don't know what else your Highness wants?" Li Chunye helped Zhu Youjian to send the Buddha to the west, and sooner or later it will reach Wei Zhongxian's ears. This thickest thigh is no longer his support, maybe When will he be given the deadliest kick. Now, he can only put his hopes on Zhu Youjian.

"There is another problem." Zhu Youjian didn't know whether Li Chunye could solve it. The Ministry of War is not only a book by Li Chunye, but also involves the interests of many high-ranking officials.

"The capital of the capital army has a serious air payment. Take the Fenwu camp as an example. It is full of 9,600 soldiers, but only 6,000. The other battalions are not much better. I hope Master Li..."

"Military air payment has been around for a long time. Comprehensive rectification will inevitably cause armament turmoil." Li Chunye wrinkled his head. This problem really can't be solved. He is just one of the top books of the Ministry of War. There is also a cabinet scholar on it, and there are nine thousand years old. Wei Zhongxian. Unless the emperor comes forward, there is little hope for a comprehensive armament rectification. "Let's do this, the old ministers use law and favor together. Taking the emperor's rectification of Shandong's armaments as an opportunity, first complete the military strength of the four military battalions. The other battalions must be developed slowly."

Zhu Youjian understood that Li Chunye had tried his best. In the late Ming Dynasty, the corruption of politics and the military has deepened into the bones. If the armament is comprehensively rectified, it will inevitably damage the vested interest groups that hold heavy powers. Whether it is the Donglin Party or the Eunuch Party, the reformers will be torn to pieces. This is definitely not Li Chunye's ability. I can afford it, and no matter my prestige, experience, or status, I am not enough to take on such an important task.

Then come step by step, anyway, the Siwuying can be full, and his goal has been achieved. "Let's do it then! Master Li is Daming, but he has worked hard! I don't know how Daming will repay Master Li in the future."

Li Chunye didn't expect Zhu Youjian and Daming to repay, he just looked at Zhu Youjian, the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes stretched the old man: "His Royal Highness, your problem has been solved, now it is time to solve the problem of the old minister."

"Your problem?" Zhu Youzhen was puzzled. You are the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and you can't solve it. What can I do? I am still a minor. Apart from my status as a king, regardless of experience, status or prestige, who is your opponent of Li Chunye? "I wonder what is wrong with Lord Li?"

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, the old minister's question is very simple for your Highness. Just open your mouth." Li Chunye seemed to guess Zhu Youjian's belly, "His Royal Highness can look forward to the future of Daming to the old minister?"

"Zhan Wang? Master Li joked. The younger generation is young, and I can't say that it can be said. But since Lord Li asked, the younger generation will talk about their crude opinions." Zhu Youjian discovered that Li Chunye still had high hopes for Daming's ZTE, and wondered if he was greedy. Rot.

In the present Daming, it is very difficult to be loyal to his duties and to consider Daming's future. Moreover, Zhu Youjian wants to strengthen the army, and only Li Chunye can support him.

"The old official listens carefully, and see what else you can do for your Highness." Li Chunye felt that he was old, and even if he had ideas on many things, he didn't want to turn a new page. Only a young person like Zhu Youjian can plan the future for Daming, and he can at best assist Zhu Youjian in playing the side drum.

As for offending Wei Zhongxian, he also considered it. At most, it is to avoid the officialdom. In the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, as long as those who take the initiative to contribute to the officialdom can get a good death, only Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are hard-headed. People will die in Jin Yiwei's purgatory.

"That junior will talk about his own thoughts." Zhu Youzhen claimed to be a junior, and he really respects Li Chunye. Li Chunye is the person most likely to support him. Even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he cannot do without the support of a group of ministers. There are only two of them here today, so there is no need to worry about the words going out.

Li Chunye didn't say a word, but looked at Zhu Youjian with gleaming eyes.

"In the future, the first battle of Daming must be the building of slaves. The capital of the building of slaves is currently Shengjing, which is Daming's Shenyang. Daming has almost lost the entire Liaodong town, leaving only Ningyuan and Jinzhou east of the Liao Great Wall and west of the Bohai Sea. The narrow Liaoxi Corridor. The capital of building slaves was moved from Hetuala to Liaoyang, and then from Liaoyang to Shenyang. From the order of capital transfer, it can be seen that the building of slaves was not satisfied with Liaodong and would never divide the Great Wall from Daming. Instead, I will cross the Great Wall, and the goal is all the rivers and mountains of my Daming.” Zhu Youjian has the experience of later generations. Of course, he knows that Jiannu crossed Shanhaiguan and ruled the entire Han nation for nearly 300 years after Daming repeatedly injured his teacher and lost land. The three days in Yangzhou and the tenth massacre in Jiading are the eternal pain of the Han nation.
