Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 304 High Seas Auction

When Zhu Yuanzhang was there, even the later Zhu Di or Emperor Xuanzong carried out large-scale plundering and killing of Mongolia, which made the life of this nation known as the most warlike in the world unable to take care of itself.

However, since Ming Yingzong, the battle against Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty has basically been maintained in a defensive position. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, after Nurhachi became stronger, Mongolia even flirted with this emerging grassland brother, and together they caused great damage to the Ming Empire. Hurt after hurt.

For nearly a hundred years, the Mongols have been harassing the border of the Ming Empire as invaders. When did you see Ming attack Mongolia and beat the prairie wolf so badly?
Not to mention that the Mongols couldn't figure it out, even the members of the Ming Empire couldn't figure it out.

Many people are simply blinded by the dog's eyes of aluminum-titanium alloy, okay?

Daming was too busy to deal with civil strife and Jianlu by himself. Where did he get 30 troops, and this was in Shaanxi, where the poor, the hungry, and the scum?

After receiving the news, many courtiers did not believe it, and the cabinet was still hesitating whether to verify it before reporting it to the emperor.Yang Sichang thinks about it or forget it, just report it directly, the emperor has a special agency like Jinyiwei in his hands, and he can't hide anything from him, okay?

Sure enough, just after the memorial was sent up, the emperor looked at it without showing any surprised expression, nodded, and said: "I also heard the newspaper early in the morning, saying that Zhu Changyuan not only wiped out most of Shaanxi, but also led his troops to attack Mongolia and cross the Yellow River in the north." , Sweeping the grassland for three thousand miles, sounds really satisfying."

"I thought that Chang Yuan deserved a reward for his contributions to the community, but I don't know how to reward him, so I asked you to help me solve my problems!" Emperor Chongzhen said in a seemingly unhurried manner.

The officials below were shocked.

As a courtier, the most fearful thing is to hear a sentence, the merit is too high, the merit is too great, and when the emperor can't reward him, it means that this person is not far from death.

Now that the emperor suddenly said this to Zhu Changyuan, who was appeasing Shaanxi, is it a signal?

indeed!

Not to mention the emperor, even if anyone here becomes an emperor, they will be worried when they see Shaanxi become what it is today.

Zhu Changyuan, that's a member of the royal family, a famous general.

The point is, now this guy has won the hearts of the people in Shaanxi, and he still holds 30 heavy soldiers. If he comes to Jingnan again like his ancestor Chengzu Emperor Zhu Di, what will the result be?
It's hard to tell!
Many people think that Zhu Changyuan provoked the emperor's anger because he was too powerful, but it was not the case, and only a few people thought of the real reason for the emperor's anger.

Sun Xiaofeng was first conscripted and suppressed because Sun Xiaofeng was a bandit, and it was natural for the government to exterminate bandits. Later, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated because Zhang Xianzhong rebelled on the spot. Everyone who rebels can be killed is understandable.

Shaanxi recruited Luo Rucai, which was part of his job, because this guy was originally the recruiting envoy of Shaanxi.

Unfortunately, what is it to plunder Mongolia?

National affairs, major affairs linked to principles and policies, even if you, Zhu Changyuan, want to send troops, why don't you ask the court for instructions?Who gave you Zhu Changyuan the right to send troops on an expedition?Moreover, why are the account details of the looted materials not reported?

this is the key of the problem.

This alone can punish Zhu Changyuan, which is a real crime of supporting soldiers and self-respect.

"Zhu Changyuan embraced his own self-respect, and the minister thought that he could be arrested and returned to Beijing for questioning!"

A censor held his own responsibility and opened his mouth to impeach.

The Ming Empire has this tradition, regardless of whether you have evidence of paralysis, first impeachment.

However, after hearing this suggestion, Chongzhen did not move or express anything.

This censor has only a half-knowledge of Shangyi, so he speaks nonsense, which is really extremely stupid.

Arresting Zhu Changyuan for questioning, is your brain rusted?They have an army of 30 in their hands, and they are firmly seated in Shaanxi, which is a bit stronger than Li Zicheng, who made the court talk about it in the past.

In the past, taking people directly was not a punishment, but a rebellion!

At this time, Liu Zunxian did not move, Yang Sichang did not speak, Jiang Fengyuan, Xue Guoguan and other senior officials did not speak a word, because they knew very well that the emperor did not want to arrest Zhu Changyuan immediately, but asked how to eliminate this dangerous man. It may evolve into another super power of Xiong Wencan.

If Shaanxi can be taken over peacefully, then both parties will be able to talk. If not, then the Ming Dynasty will soon face another super explosive package.

This explosive package is very likely to push Daming Jiangshan into a situation where there is no redemption.

"Your Majesty!" Shang Zhouzuo, the censor of Zuodu, came out, knelt down to Chongzhen with both hands in his hands, and said: "Although Zhu Changyuan has made meager military achievements in the country, His Majesty has already rewarded him generously. The title of Uncle, for His Majesty to level the world, is the duty of a courtier, Chang Yuan must be grateful for His Majesty's great grace, so he does his best."

Shang Zhouzuo said so on the surface, but in fact he was telling Chongzhen, you old man, don't be suspicious. What Zhu Changyuan did is not necessarily because of self-respect, but also because he is sincerely for the court.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Sichang also came out and said, "Chang Yuan made another great contribution this time, and I believe that he should be allowed to govern the land of Shaanxi. With such a reward, he will have no complaints."

"Also, I used to be the governor of Shaanxi's trilateral military affairs. The former was busy with military affairs and had no time to look around, so I asked Chang Yuan to take charge of it. Now Hong Chengchou is in charge of Ji Liao. The situation in Liaodong has stabilized, so I can go to the post. Your majesty is also invited to go."

After the two said this, Chongzhen's face became much better.

Didn't Zhu Changyuan pacify most of Shaanxi? Well, please hand over the military power.It should not be a big problem for Yang Sichang to go to Shaanxi to hand over.

At the same time, granting Zhu Changyuan a high official is a consolation.

This is also a transaction.

"The cabinet drafted a decree to promote Zhu Changyuan as the governor of Shaanxi, and ordered him to comfort the post-war affairs in Shaanxi. He was granted the title of Daming Emperor Uncle, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, added a first-class marquis title of Sun and Moon, and a four-clawed dragon robe. Madam Xiao and Princess Yipin ordered Madam!"

After Chongzhen finished speaking in one breath, the people below kowtowed and knelt down, shouting long live.

After talking for so long, all he was given was false names and impractical things. For Zhu Changyuan, the most valuable thing might be the 1000 taels of gold.

However, after messing around for so long, he can finally shed the layer of Shenhou. From now on, he will be the famous Uncle Daming Emperor, Marquis of the Sun and Moon.

"Damn it!" Half a month later, after receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Changyuan, who was far away in Shaanxi, uttered a dirty word in surprise, held the bright yellow dragon robe, shook it back and forth, looked at Cao Huachun and asked, "Mr. , don’t deceive me, are you sure this thing is a reward from the emperor? This nima is a dragon robe!”

"Yes!" Cao Huachun's smiling face was full of chrysanthemums. He was familiar with Zhu Changyuan, so he sat down on the chair and said, "This is an imperial decree. How dare this old slave disrespect it."

After finishing speaking, he laughed again and said: "What kind of friendship does our family have with the emperor, even if I cheat anyone, I can't cheat you, can I?"

Well, maybe officials of the Ming Dynasty can really wear dragon robes, right?

Zhu Changyuan didn't understand history anyway, so he just took what the emperor bestowed, and besides, it was also recorded in the imperial decree, so it shouldn't be wrong.

"Mr. Cao looked a lot better when he came in." Zhu Changyuan looked at the ruddy face of this guy, and his complexion seemed to be better than when he first met him in Pidao, Dongjiang Town last year.

"Isn't that right?" Cao Huachun Lanhua pointed, stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "Since you, Chang Yuan, opened a Baohetang medical clinic in the capital, our family has often gone to recuperate. I was cured, really, well-deserved reputation!"

With a constipated expression on his face, Zhu Changyuan said bitterly, "How did Mr. Cao know that the hospital was run by the general?"

"Nonsense!" Cao Huachun said, "Not only that hospital, but also that Ajiu firm is also written by you, Zhu Changyuan, right? How can we hide it from our family?"

"Whether our family buys things in your store or sees a doctor in your Baohetang, we have never defaulted on a bill."

Zhu Changyuan sighed and said: "So, His Majesty and all the officials also know about it."

"Do you think you can hide it?" Cao Huachun asked back.

Zhu Changyuan shook his head, really couldn't hide it.

Forget it, it's not a crime anyway, it's just that the emperor knows he has a lot of money, so it's no big deal.

Along with Cao Huachun, Yang Sichang, governor of the three sides and secretary of the Ministry of War, came to Shaanxi.

He came to take over Shaanxi military affairs.

Originally, Yang Sichang thought that the process of the handover of military affairs must be full of difficulties, and Zhu Changyuan would put forward a series of harsh conditions, and even refused to hand over military power.

However, the matter was not only beyond Yang Sichang's expectation, but also beyond the expectation of the entire court.

After Zhu Changyuan learned of the purpose of this guy, without a word, all the military power of the 30 troops was handed over to him, and he was also given a year's military rations.

This incident made Yang Sichang feel extremely guilty, secretly thinking that he used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman, and then reported Zhu Changyuan's actions to the court one by one.

After receiving the report, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, saying: "It's me, I have suspected the emperor's uncle for no reason! Zhu Changyuan, a true loyal minister!"

Of course, to the emperor, none of this mattered. The important thing was that he felt relieved, happy, and happy. The hole in Shaanxi finally came to an end.

Zhu Changyuan handed over the 30 troops under his command to Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang didn't cause Zhu Changyuan any trouble. He filled Liaodong with 20 elite soldiers, leaving [-] points to guard the three important towns and various parts of Shaanxi.

However, Zhu Changyuan was not stupid enough to hand over his 200 cavalry to Yang Sichang. Now, his cavalry is gone, and all [-] of them have changed jobs, or have become county magistrates in a small county on the Weishui Plain, or become water conservancy, Experts in farmland and other fields assisted Zhu Changyuan in governing Shaanxi.

As for Zhu Changyuan himself, he returned to the modern society, because he was too busy, and the auction on the high seas was about to start. In order to prevent any trouble from happening, he personally sat down.

　Good night, I'm sorry brothers, I just went out to drink with the leader, and I came back a bit late, making everyone wait for a long time, I'm sorry. . .
