Chapter 378: Situation
"Ningbo Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Taizhou Prefecture, Chaozhou Prefecture, Ji'an Prefecture..."
In the Nanjing Jingjun camp, with the arrival of military information, red circles were also drawn on the map of the commander's tent.
Looking around, the dense red circles have spread across half of the south of the Yangtze River, especially in several coastal provinces, which is even more serious.
“It’s just the beginning.”
Hong Chengchou held the teacup and took a sip, and said without any rush: "It would be fine if Your Majesty likes the gentry of Jiangnan. If you don't like it, the whole Jiangnan will probably be in chaos in the future."
"How could I like it!"
Yan Shun shook his head: "Before I return to Jiangnan, do you know how Your Majesty ordered me?"
"oh?"
Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Your Majesty personally said that he would rather suffer than suffer a hundred years of disaster!"
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou's expression became solemn. He slowly lowered the teacup, stood up and stared at the map. After a while, he nodded: "Da Heng succeeded the Ming Dynasty, and the problems of the Ming Dynasty Chen Ke will also be fully accepted. If he does not do a big move, the fate of the Da Heng country will be difficult to stabilize!"
"It's hard!"
Yan Shun shook his head: "All the plans are all there are only about 100,000 troops in Jiangnan. The only ones that can be used are nearly 30,000 Beijing troops."
"But what we have to face is the boiling rebellion of the entire Jiangnan!"
"Besides, the influence of those gentry and wealthy merchants is much greater than that of us. Now they are only some minor details. If they really move, they will be completely out of control."
Hong Chengchou said: "It's okay for us to come here. Jiangnan has been peaceful for too long. Even if it is out of control, even if it cannot be pacified and maintain one acre of three parts of the land, it is still fine. The real difficulty is how to use this chaos to eliminate Chen Ke's problems. This will not be solved in a short time."
"The real disaster is still in the northern border, in the grassland and in the Liaodong."
"Yuan Chonghuan has caused such a big storm, and Dai Shan and Lin Danhan obviously won't sit by and watch."
"As soon as the northern border moves, that is the real battle to establish a country!"
As for this, Hong Chengchou pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty should have noticed it. Recently, a large number of grain and grass have been transported to the capital through the canal transportation."
"Also, I didn't see any troops sent to Jiangnan to assist in defense this time. I think they are all guarding against the Mongolian and Later Jin..."
...
As Hong Chengchou said, at this moment, in the capital, since he ascended the throne, Li Xiu was preparing to prevent the Mongolian Later Jin and even Liao Town.
Li Xiu never underestimated heroes like Dai Shan and Lin Danhan at all.
The Jinyiwei made a meticulous work, and the border troops did not stop at night, staring at every move on the grassland at all times. Any military situation changed and they immediately rushed to the palace for eight hundred miles.
In the imperial palace and Wuyuan Pavilion, it has now completely transformed into a military important place. In the empty hall, there are sand tables depicting the important places in the border area in detail. At the end of the hall, there is a huge map of Daheng Qiankun hanging high.
In the side hall, there are also desks like academy, and a group of scientists transferred from the Martial Arts Academy are even more excited to write.
There are also students of the Martial Arts Academy standing in front of the sand tables of border fortresses everywhere, arguing endlessly or frowning and contemplating.
In Wenyuan Pavilion not far from Wuyuan Pavilion, the ministers of the cabinet were still dealing with government affairs slowly as usual.
For the ministers of the cabinet, although the days after the change of heaven were no longer as depressed as before, the emperor and the ministers of the cabinet, except for Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan who had already expressed their position early, the rest of the cabinet ministers were undoubtedly still trembling and shocked.
After all, they were all cabinet ministers selected by the former Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty...
In such a trembling and shock, the chief minister of the cabinet, who only knew how to respond, came to Zongdao, and the entire cabinet was almost a rubber stamp.
"Wenyuan Wuyuan, the cabinet is in Wenyuan Pavilion. This Wuyuan Pavilion is full of military generals and students from the Martial Arts Academy. Your Majesty's move is quite meaningful!"
Lai Zongdao stood behind the window, staring at the busy scene of the Wuyuan Pavilion staff entering and leaving, and said with some emotion, then looked at Liu Qiyuan and said with a smile:
"I'm afraid few people could have thought that the cabinet would develop so quickly."
Liu Qiyuan frowned and said:
"When the cabinet was first established, its purpose was to assist the emperor in handling government affairs."
"This Wuyuan Pavilion looks quite similar to the functions of the cabinet, but this Wuyuan Pavilion is specialized in handling military affairs. However, no matter how I think about it, I can't understand the meaning of the existence of the Wuyuan Pavilion."
"What does this mean?"
Lai Zongdao was obviously a little curious. Wuyuan Pavilion was established quietly. In terms of military affairs, their civil servants did not have much information, and the emperor had no explanation. Naturally, their civil servants did not ask much about it.
But it is difficult to ask whether it is difficult to ask about it. However, the Wuyuan Pavilion, which is obviously similar to the prototype of the cabinet, cannot help but not pay attention to it. After all, no one knows whether this will be a trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron. If it is not good, it will be a cry without tears.
"A few days ago, His Majesty asked the Ministry of Revenue to send the tax books for the past years to Wuyuan Pavilion. This matter is serious, so I naturally brought people to send them over to me and I also experienced it in it."
Liu Qiyuan spoke slowly:
"The Wuyuan Pavilion staff are all drawn from soldiers and generals who are elite troops studying in the Martial Arts Academy. Some are like military advisors and staff, but they are much more comprehensive and professional than military advisors and staff."
"The personnel include the insurgent department of the Martial Arts Academy, the cavalry department, the navy department, the artillery department, the engineering department, the arithmetic doctor, etc. Almost all the top elites in the Martial Arts Academy were transferred to Wuyuan Pavilion."
"If military advisors and staff are mostly relying on their personal knowledge and literacy, and this Wuyuan Pavilion is obviously a brainstorming and planning a war from all aspects of an army..."
Speaking of this, Liu Qiyuan said: "Now, almost all information related to military affairs will be sent to Wuyuan Pavilion by the Metropolitan area. After the Wuyuan Pavilion soldiers are summarized, they will be submitted to His Majesty's case again."
Lai Zongdao frowned and said, "Isn't this a cabinet that is specifically responsible for military affairs?"
Liu Qiyuan shook his head: "If it were just like this, it would be just a transfer of the functions of the Governor's Office of the Five Army to Wuyuan Pavilion."
"But the Governor's Office of the Five Army has long been His Majesty's possession. What does Your Majesty want to do? Just do it directly in the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Why do you need to start a new job like this?"
Hearing this, Lai Zongdao was also stunned, and he ignored this point.
In military affairs, it is indeed necessary to be troubled by the Governor's Office of the Five Army. It is obviously abnormal to start a new job.
"Can you? Your Majesty wants to borrow this Wuyuan Pavilion..."
I was worried about the Sect.
"It should be unlikely..."
Liu Qiyuan's tone was also obviously a little inaccurate.
His Majesty, they had a criminal record, and the civil servants were unable to use it at the time, so he could do things like civil science, education, military and herdsmen in military places like the Martial Arts Academy.
Now, this troubled Wuyuan Pavilion may be really ready to remove the firewood from the cabinet.
After all, in the current cabinet, except for the two of them, the other cabinet ministers are all promoted by the Empress Dowager, and they are all stirring up the wind and rain in Jiangnan.
Your Majesty disliked it and directly took the cabinet, which was not impossible...
Chapter completed!
