Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty: Rectify the Armament

After a while, Zhu Youxiao suddenly woke up on the imperial desk of the Xihun Pavilion, as if he was hanging all over.

The first move to get up was to burp a long hiccup.

At this time, the gate of the West Warehouse was closed, and there were still palace maids and eunuchs around the sides of the service. A faint incense drifted out of the Xuande furnace and lingered around the dim corner lamp.

Zhu Youxiao asked casually: "What time is it now?"

At this time, Wang Chaofu had left, and Wei Guangwei's memorial was steadily placed on the imperial desk, and Zhu Youxiao's reach was within reach.

Upon hearing this, a palace maid who was close to him bowed and then said softly:

"Your Majesty, it's the hour of Hai."

"Oh, it's already the hour, what is this?" Zhu Youxiao saw the memorial at first sight, and just said it casually, without intending to listen to the palace maid's reply.

Turning on the memorial, the expression gradually soothed.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down his memorials. This was the time when he felt most comfortable when he was late at night and liked to concentrate and think carefully.

The impact of this imperial examination was no less than that of the North and South List case in the early Ming Dynasty. This has never happened in history. It seems that it is its own butterfly effect.

The examiners must deal with all the people found by Wei Guangwei.

It is indeed common for the imperial examination to involve and cheat, but it is rare to make such a big fuss.

If it were not possible or dared to happen before Jiajing, the test paper was sold privately, but it happened in this Apocalypse.

The reason for this is naturally that the current situation is already very different.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations were all "eight essays" to win the imperial examinations, and the same was true for this imperial examination. The eight essays were all tested at all levels of the imperial examinations.

Just talking about eight essays is equivalent to turning articles that evaluate talents into moral articles that can be memorized by rote.

When learning from Confucius and Mencius and talking about Confucius and Mencius, they have become recognized stepping stones for scholars all over the world. They can throw them away directly after they are used up. Few people will be stupid enough to follow suit when they are officials.

If this continues, the so-called great sages will become more and more fake.

The only thing that can make these civil servants restrain themselves a little is their reputation after death. When many people don’t care about their reputation after death, corrupt officials and real treacherous villains will appear.

I laugh at the poor but not the prostitute, and I laugh at the honest but not the greedy but not the greedy.

Many officials have only two criteria for comparing whether they have achieved success or not. One is whether their reputation after death is enough to be famous in history, and the other is the weight of the silver in their pockets during their lifetime.

Under this trend, those civil servants become superficial and secretly do all their bad things in order to pursue fame and fortune, which is naturally the general trend.

During the Chongzhen period in history, this trend even spread from the court to the people. Once the moral trousers that restricted officials were loosened, they would dare to do anything!

The Donglin Party actually sold test questions in private, hoping to use the proportion of new officials to regain control of the court.

Such behavior occurred to these so-called famous scholars and Daxian, and Zhu Youxiao was not surprised at all.

Since the Donglin Party is thief, there is no need for the emperor to keep them. The Donglin Cabinet must be completely cut off and a new batch of cabinet ministers will be added!

Although the Donglin Cabinet in the past was also capable, they did not have to go on the right path, and they fought all day long, shirking responsibility, and neglecting political affairs.

Zhu Youxiao needs this Cabinet of the Apocalypse that took on the burden of the entire country. The Cabinet can share some pressure for itself. At the same time, the ministers in the Cabinet can check and balance each other!

As for the military computer room, we still have to keep the restrictive cabinet.

Wei Guangwei's trial of the case was very fast, and Zhu Youxiao also decided to take ruthless measures to deal with these civil officials who formed gangs. No matter Donglin or other parties, the court would be disobedient!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao put down Wei Guangwei's memorials, looked at the dozens of memorials piled up into hills, and began to flip through them one by one.

The first memorial was presented by Lu Xiangsheng.

What Lu Xiangsheng said was basically the situation he had in the southern Zhili area since the second half of the second year of the Tianqi to August of the third year of the Tianqi.

After the southern tour, Zhu Youxiao re-divided the areas of the provinces in Nanzhili, handed over several rebellious garrison troops to Lu Xiangsheng, and asked him to train the Tianxiong Army.

What Lu Xiangsheng said in his memorial was that he had completed the training of the Tianxiong Army and how he led these rebels who had inflicted rebellions in the past to eliminate all the horse bandits and bandits from the mansions.

This kind of thing is nothing special, but for a newcomer like Lu Xiangsheng, it is a solid military achievement.

Zhu Youxiao will not help him grow. He will be promoted as he should. Just like Huang Degong, if the characters in history want to shine, they have to rely on their own efforts.

The land of the capital was the top priority. Wang Zaijin once reported that the military facilities of Baoding Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture were deficient, and Lu Xiangsheng was certain that he had outstanding talents. He could take the Tianxiong Army as the headquarters to these two places to rectify the military.

As for Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youxiao made other arrangements.

After the end of the Liaodong War, Jizhou General Wang Wei died in battle because of the Shanhaiguan General Gao Ditan, and Gao Di was also killed.

Judging from Sun Chuanting's current military merits and qualifications, he still cannot serve in Jiubian, so he would ask him to go to Shanhaiguan to prepare for military preparations and clean up the mess left by Gao Di.

Shanhaiguan is the barrier for Jiannu to enter the pass, and there must be a war-capable army to guard it.

Shan and Shaanxi provinces were places where peasant uprisings broke out in history. Although Zhu Youxiao had exempted the three-money tuition, he was defensive.

Zhu Youxiao was preparing to establish a governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi to rectify the garrisons and local garrisons in these two provinces, and prepare for the possible chaos in the future.

Needless to say, the candidates are determined to be in the southwest and Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the Ming Dynasty who defeated Jiannu in Liaodong, naturally took the initiative.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting have low qualifications, and Zhu Xieyuan already has sufficient government affairs and combat experience.

These are people who are extremely capable in history. Zhu Youxiao will not let them go. He will fully train them and serve himself.

Regarding Yuan Chonghuan who has been delaying again and again, Zhu Youxiao has always been concerned about his reputation in history, and now he does not intend to hesitate any more.

Such people dare not even listen to imperial edicts during warfare. It doesn’t matter whether they have strong abilities or not, let alone the Ming Dynasty is not short of generals.

He tapped his fingers on the table, and Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time before saying:

"I sent an order to promote Lu Xiang to Baoding, and the Hejian Prefectures were prepared, and the two prefectures were rectified. The Sun Chuanting was promoted to the Shanhaiguan Prefectures, and he immediately took office!"

"For the great victory in Liaodong, Zhu Xieyuan was appointed as the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, investigated the storage of grain and grass, and rectified the troops of the two provinces!"

"Tell Wei Zhongxian to put some pressure on the three judicial departments. Yuan Chonghuan's case will be reviewed before the end of the month!"

The internal matters have been handled almost completely. The situation around Mongolia, pseudo-Jin and North Korea after the Battle of Liaodong should be changed as soon as possible.

The main reason for sending troops this time was to protect Fuyu Guards. The reason for protecting Fuyu Guards was to strangle the wall where Jiannu invaded.

In order to appease Taining, Duoyan and Zhuwei, the court spent a lot of silver in advance. Since they won, the silver could not be spent in vain.

There are dozens of Mongolian tribes in Taining, Duoyan and Fuyu three guards. There are still millions of Mongolian people, and there are also many light cavalrymen that can be pulled out during combat.

These Mongolian tribes first followed the Yongle Jingnan, and the situation is not optimistic now.

They were oppressed by Lindan Batuur of the Chahar tribe in the west, attacked by Jiannu in the east, and the powerful outer Khalkha tribe in the north. Such a place of four battles led to their rapid annexation in history.

After winning this battle, the leaders of the three guards must be further won over. Zhu Youxiao thought about it again and again, and said:

"I sent an order to send Feng Zhuo, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, to the outside world, and summoned the leaders of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu guards to the capital to meet the saint!"

"Also, ask the Hanlin Academy to write a slave imperial edict, and the words must be understood by the people! I want to use this to tell the world that Jiannu is nothing to be afraid of!"
Chapter completed!
