Chapter 552: The Gun Powder Barrel
The next day, the sky was still dark, and the curfew in the capital had not yet been lifted, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves rang out on the streets of the capital.
The city gate had already opened, and the fire was flashing, and the rushing iron cavalry rushed out of the city gate without any obstacles. In the end, they slowly slowed down outside the city, and the iron cavalry stopped suddenly.
Duke Jingguo and Duke Liao looked at each other, then clasped their fists and looked at each other without saying anything else. The two rode their horses again, and the two iron cavalry rushed in completely opposite directions.
On the palace tower, the emperor stood. Through this straight long street, you could vaguely see the outline of the outer city gate, but the surging iron cavalry was no longer visible.
His eyes turned, and the emperor looked at the direction of Jiangnan, but he couldn't help feeling helpless.
Since he was in power at the beginning, he wanted to solve the problem in Jiangnan. Until now, so many years have passed, he has truly gained the capital to solve the problem in Jiangnan.
If he had expected it, he would naturally lead the army and suppress Jiangnan, but now in such a situation in the north, how could he dare to act without any action?
So many people who were affected by the disaster, have collected millions of young and strong people from all over the country, and Lin Danhan, who is ready to move on the grassland.
It is no exaggeration to say that Daheng is now just a powder barrel!
If you are not careful, you will explode directly!
But he must sit on this powder barrel and try his best to cool it down!
Under the current huge pressure, sending troops to recover Jiangnan is to borrow Jiangnan's wealth and maritime trade wealth to cool down this powder barrel!
In such a situation, how could he dare to lead the army in person? He even dared not leave the capital.
He must always keep an eye on all parts of the world, urge all officials and generals to solve any hidden dangers that may trigger this powder keg in a timely and quickly!
"The main thing is the victims. We must keep a close eye on any abnormal movements. We must deal with them in time. Don't give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of them!"
The emperor slowly spoke, and Wang Wu and Li Ruolian, who were following along the side, responded quickly after hearing what the emperor said.
"Whether the war is going on, Mongolia or pseudo-Ming, we will never let this issue go. We must make trouble and instigate..."
The emperor still said to himself, what he was most worried about was the impact of natural disasters.
If the national coordinated project disaster relief is achieved, it will naturally be a huge benefit!
Whether it is repairing rivers and promoting these water conservancy projects or building roads, it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Moreover, it has also used this to provide relief to the victims and comforted the people in this year of natural disasters.
But it is undeniable that such a large project has truly gathered millions of people to do things, and they are all serious young and strong. If they are encouraged and encouraged by those with ulterior motives, it will be a huge disaster, a disaster that can destroy Daheng!
Anyone who is hostile to Daheng will never miss this good opportunity as long as he can do it!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei has installed a large number of spies in various construction sites. Anything can be noticed as soon as possible!"
Li Ruolian immediately promised that he was full of confidence in this matter. This matter was targeted at the common people and was also a devastating disaster victim. Naturally, the Jinyiwei could not have any interests involved.
Without too much involvement, it means that if things are arranged, there will naturally be no obstacles.
In this way, with the current size of the Jinyiwei, a group of spies were planted, and some money and food were spent to win over some disaster victims to do it. A large monitoring network was spread out. They didn’t need to deal with any changes, and they just threw it to the officials and generals who maintained stability.
The emperor glanced at Li Ruolian, nodded, and said nothing more. He had always believed in the theory that eggs should not be placed in a basket, which was related to the national destiny, and obviously he could not rely solely on the Jinyiwei.
In fact, his attention to these victims was far better than the upcoming war between the north and the south.
The monitoring of the Jinyiwei, the monitoring of the intelligence power of the inner court, and even the secret report of civil servants and generals, as well as the inspection and audit of the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Military Law.
He implemented almost all the means that could be used in this era, and opened the curtain of disaster relief for this project at the beginning of the year. Almost every month, hundreds of people were confiscated and sent to the public.
These people, without exception, are groups related to engineering or disaster relief, either officials, officials, soldiers, generals, or merchants involved...
Most of the charges are unified, such as greed for disaster relief, or collusion to resell greed for disaster relief.
No matter which of these two types, it is obviously a great sin. If one stone is less than the food for disaster relief, the victims will have to have one stone less. If one tael of disaster relief is less than one tael of silver, a certain project place will inevitably have one tael of quality less.
The emperor naturally put away all his tolerance and dealt with it when he found out. Regardless of the rights of the official position, he used his head to build an iron law, implemented it in the disaster relief system, and deterred those officials as much as possible.
This is the ultimate that the court can achieve on its own.
The rest are secret means, whether it is the Jinyiwei, the inner court, or the secret press, etc.
It is naturally impossible to be perfect. It can only be said that it should be maintained at a stable stage as much as possible and to eliminate potential risks in a timely manner.
This naturally depends on whether the execution and supervision system is efficient or not.
Then, the outcome of the war.
No matter how efficient and orderly the internal and external stability maintenance is, no matter how efficient and orderly the external threat cannot be solved, it will be invalid.
"First south and then north..."
The emperor murmured softly, but he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Although the current situation has changed dramatically compared to before, there is always a possibility that the soldiers will not be normal...
...
The movement of tens of thousands of troops was naturally hidden from the fact that the people were interested in it, but what puzzled the world was that the pioneering Beijing army was actually heading towards the northern border town.
Such movements have puzzled many people, but whether it is the court officials, the nobles, the false Ming, or Mongolia, Daheng's actions are already extremely clear.
After all, for several months, people could see how Daheng was moving in such a big move.
Covered by such an imminent atmosphere of war, even the pseudo-Ming Dynasty that had been fighting endlessly was much more peaceful. Although it was still noisy, the food, grass and weapons assigned were also transported to the front line one after another. However, under a distinct faction, it is also an uncertain thing for who can get money and food.
Under such a strong atmosphere of war in the prefectures and counties on the front lines of the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, another wave of escape also appeared again.
The entire Nanming, in front of the unspoken Daheng military power, also became in chaos before the battle...
