Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 130 Ying Gong Goes Ashore, Shi Xun Launches

From the current point of view, the Wu Xun Group is the biggest enemy of the strong army.

The Wu Xun Group has always been an overrated group. Although their ancestors were Xiaoyong's titans, the favorable living environment has already wiped out the blood of these Wu Xun children.

Although Wu Xun has a good pedigree and educational environment, his military theory is not as good as that of a civil servant who has studied hard for decades, but how can his actual combat be compared with a general who really licks blood on the knife's edge?

The hereditary system is Wu Xun's advantage, but it is also their disadvantage.

Although they can easily obtain military power by relying on their own blood, but this kind of military power comes too easily, which also makes it difficult for them to have enough prestige.

There are only [-] or [-] military heroes in the capital who are in their prime, and if they want to find a military monster among them, it can only be said that they want to win a big prize with just a few scratch cards.

It's just that this group of people has been operating steadily for decades since the founding of the country. Maybe they were beaten by the civil servants in the court and lost their temper, but they have a network of connections in the army that cannot be underestimated.

These warriors who rely on blood to be at the top of the army have already regarded the army as their own land, and naturally they are not willing to have strong generals emerging from the bottom to compete with them for military power.

However, this group is not a solid one after all, and now the British Duke Zhang Mao has exposed that Marquis Funing and other military officials had come to Dingguo Duke's mansion to discuss stopping the SHIELD camp, and cracks appeared within the group.

Naturally, Zhu Youtang would not let go of this opportunity to "break up" the Wu Xun Group, even if he took advantage of the backstab of the British public Zhang Mao to create a bigger rift for the Wu Xun Group.

"Your Majesty's word of mouth! The Marquis of Funing will go to Dingguo Mansion that night to report on the list of attendees and talks. There must be no mistakes, please!" Liu Jin, like a hardworking bee, immediately rushed to the homes of various martial arts to announce the decree .

Although this verbal order was seeking the truth of that night, it also showed that Zhu Youtang already knew about their conspiracy, and skillfully planted seeds of doubt between them.

After Fu Ning Hou Zhu Yong received this verbal order, he immediately gritted his teeth angrily: "Damn it, really damn it, who leaked this secret?"

Chen Huan, the Marquis of Taining, knew very well that there was a traitor among them, so he cursed bitterly: "What friendship for hundreds of years? What in-laws? They're all a bunch of bastards!"

"This matter is groundless, and the emperor is just bluffing! As long as we speak the same words, don't be alienated by the emperor, and the emperor will have nothing to do with us!" Facing Wu Xun who came to ask for help one after another, Zhu Fu, the son of Duke Cheng, showed The temperament of the leader said.

After all, it is a friendship of more than a hundred years, and they are relatives by marriage. Although it is not known that the British Duke Zhang Mao backstabbed for self-protection, it seems that he can survive this crisis of trust.

As night fell, the Qianqing Palace appeared brightly lit.

"Your Majesty, the plum blossoms in the backyard of the palace have sprouted buds, I think you can take a look tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty, I went to play with sister Erya today, she is very worried about your assassination today!"

"Your Majesty, do you feel that this servant has talked too much today? Would you like me to say a few words less?"

……

A court lady with an oval face was doing the work of grinding ink, but when she was grinding the ink stick regularly in her hand, she kept talking in her mouth.

After Zhu Youtang uttered a word, he took a pen and dipped it in some ink, and then continued writing.

After all, he is not a courtier fighting for power and profit, but the emperor of this country, so he can't just focus on the Wu Xun Group, which stands in the way.

A strong army is of course very important, but without a good financial foundation, it is difficult to build a truly strong army.Or even if a strong army is built, it will be difficult to support it.

The reason why the Twelfth Battalion later declined was never that Daming had no good soldier seedlings, but that all the good soldier seedlings chose to find another way.

Zhu Youtang's current financial problems are not serious. After all, the granary left by Zhu Jianshen has 200 million shi of grain, and the confiscated gold and silver are more than 100 million taels. tax to make up for the fiscal gap.

It's just that people have short-term worries without long-term considerations, and some things are about to start now, so he is already thinking about how to govern the official and gentry class that is a hundred times stronger than the Wu Xun Group.

"Your Majesty, the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the length plus the width times two? What are these?"

"Your Majesty, the area of ​​a rectangle is its length times its width? What is length? What is width?"

"Your Majesty, the area of ​​a triangle is equal to the length times the width and divided by 2? What is a triangle?"

……

Thanks to Zhu Youtang's tolerance and indulgence, Niu Mengmeng's nature was not obliterated by this rigid palace, but he became interested in what Zhu Youtang was writing.

After Zhu Youtang finished writing a page, he took the pen and left the paper.

Ju Mengmeng is a curious chatterbox, but God closes a door and opens a window, and this window is her sharp eyesight and quick work.

Zhu Youtang didn't understand why this girl could talk so much, so he satisfied her curiosity a little and said, "This is geometry! If you learn this well, you can measure the area of ​​your own field!"

"Your Majesty, this is too mysterious. My grandfather said that if you can plant a few rice seedlings, you can know how big the field is!" Niu Mengmeng squinted at the strange words, looking a little disgusted.

Zhu Youtang naturally does not underestimate the experience of old farmers, but the mystery of geometry is not only to obtain results, but to be able to summarize experience and knowledge, so that it can be popularized and promoted.

Although the policy of ignoring the people is beneficial to the rule, the backwardness of the nation will eventually be beaten, so it is also necessary to awaken the wisdom of the people, so that China can really take off.

It's just that "the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny", and the Wu Xun Group has not fallen apart.

Just when Niu Mengmeng left, Guo Yong walked in with a stack of memorials.

"This group of Wu Xun really wants to get together!" Zhu Youtang saw the ten copies of Wu Xun's memorials with the same tone, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Unlike previous emperors who liked to hand over the army to Wu Xun, he didn't like this group of generals with high salaries and low abilities. How could the flowers in the greenhouse compete with the Tianshan snow lotus?
Guo Yong originally thought that the Wu Xun Group could be defeated with one blow, so he couldn't help but regretfully said: "The slaves thought that the British public would report, and this gang of Wu Xun must have been denounced for self-protection, but I didn't expect that they all formed a group!"

"Not to mention that their ancestors have been friends with each other for generations, and their families have always had in-laws, how can they be so easily disintegrated!" Zhu Youtang put down the memorial in his hand, looking as expected.

Guo Yong was stunned for a moment, but asked in a very puzzled way: "Your Majesty, since you know they won't confess, why do you want them to defend themselves?"

"If they can disperse automatically, it will prove that the Wu Xun Group is a mess. I just need to show both kindness and power! Now that they choose to form a group and want to fight against me, it proves that they can only be solved with a heavy blow! I will give them every family today. Giving an oral order is not only a temptation, but also an opportunity for all of them!" Zhu Youtang looked at the ten memorials and couldn't help but bitterly said.

Originally, he didn't mind using the state's finances to support this gang of martial arts, but now that they don't know how to advance and retreat, and even dare to form a group to fight against the imperial power, then he doesn't need to think about the credit of their ancestors.

If it is said that the road to a strong army is to kill the Wu Xun Group, then he will not even blink his eyes, and he will definitely slash at the Wu Xun Group that blocks his way.

Guo Yong realized that those self-esteemed Wu Xun were looking for death, so he swallowed and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"The gang of Wu Xun are most suspected of stabbing this time. Give Dongchang some more time to see if he can pry Lin Guodong's mouth open!" Zhu Youtang expressed his position lightly, and then ordered Liu Jin who just came in: "Liu Jin, you Immediately go to Dongchang and let them investigate these ten martial arts heroes and their families, I don't believe that each of them can obey the law!"

Although one pot is very cool, the assassination may not be the work of the Wu Xun Group, or it may just be the conspiracy of an individual Wu Xun, so to deal with the Wu Xun Group, a two-pronged approach must be taken.

Even if the Wu Xun Group cannot be crushed in one fell swoop through stabbing, it must be broken one by one to achieve the goal of crushing the Wu Xun Group's power.

Compared with the Civil Service Group, the Wu Xun Group has been entrenched in the capital for hundreds of years, so it will undoubtedly be more troublesome to deal with, and even more people will be involved.

"Obey!" Liu Jin knew that His Majesty was going to deal with the Wuxun Group, so she cupped her hands respectfully.

When February of the first year of Hongzhi was approaching, the self-esteemed Wu Xun Group chose the road of forming a group, but they didn't know that someone had already put it on the chopping block.
