Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Eight: Food House, Mingque Pavilion
The changes in Jizhou City soon spread to the capital.
"Master, the new snacks for gathering food outside the palace are here." Wang Chaofu looked at the palace maid and walked into the Western Warehouse Pavilion with a plate of snacks, and said with a smile.
Zhu Youxiao stretched out his waist, put down his notebook about the drought in Shaanxi, picked up a piece to taste it, his eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Why don't you need Mingque Pavilion? What's unique about this food restaurant?"
"As far as I know, Mingque Pavilion is famous and has a older font size? For a long time, the imperial snacks in the palace were sent to the palace by Mingque Pavilion..."
Not to mention, this snack melts in your mouth and penetrates into your heart. It’s very good. Zhu Youxiao didn’t pay attention and ate several pieces in a row.
Wang Chaofu laughed.
"This is not the one who is in charge of me."
"I just heard that there are two kinds of pastries in Jishiju, yellow rice and sorghum, which need to be purchased from the palace every year."
"Because these two supply is limited, there are very few snacks that can be sent to the palace every year. This is just sent in, so I quickly brought it to the master."
Zhu Youxiao nodded thoughtfully, picked up a piece of it casually, and suddenly remembered that it was already the eighth piece. He smiled, put it down again, and flipped through the memorial.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to eating?"
"I will order people to leave the palace and purchase pastries from Mingque Pavilion!"
After Wang Chaofu said that, Zhu Youxiao called him and waved his hand and said, "It's not that he can't eat it, it's that it's better than Mingque Pavilion. I've eaten a few more pieces at the moment and can't eat it anymore."
"You can do something. In the future, I can buy more cakes from the Qianqing Palace and bring them in."
"By the way, I'll send some of the rest to the queen and the others, and they should like it."
"I'll do it now!"
Seeing Wang Chaofu leave happily, Zhu Youxiao opened the book about the severe drought in many places in Shaanxi just now by Shaanxi Governor Li Qiyuan, and frowned slightly.
This disaster relief is really a waste of money. A batch was just distributed in June, and there were droughts in many places in July. I am asking for disaster relief again.
If this continues, no matter how much money you save, you can't stand such spending.
What's more, the places where money is spent are not just disaster relief, but the big one is in the military weapon department and military expenditure. For disaster relief, we need to prepare as soon as possible.
Zhu Youxiao’s idea was to set up a department with a department directly under the Ministry of Revenue to be in charge of disaster relief in various places.
Civil officials will definitely object, saying that it is a waste of money and money. Some people will definitely say that these disasters are not large in scale, but they don’t know what will happen to the Ming Dynasty in the next ten years.
The little glaciers have many droughts and locust plagues that have not been encountered in years...
Zhu Youxiao needs to prepare for the future. There is no need to seek the consent of the civil servant. He knows it and just asks to do it.
If they don't agree, they will ask them to say that sooner or later, they will find that their emperor is so prescient.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao approved 500,000 taels of silver on Li Qiyuan's memorial, and then closed the memorial and said to the outside world:
"Call the cabinet chief minister here."
......
On August 12, the fourth year of Tianqi, Sun Chuanting led 140,000 border troops and elite troops of the Beijing army, carrying new firearms such as Suiqiu guns and swearing to fight in Datong Zhencheng.
According to the plan, Sun Chuanting will go from Datong Town to Weiyuanwei, pass through Chier Mountain, and arrive at the first garrison place of the battle, Guihua City.
The reason for choosing the Guihua City is that the area has now been basically divided up by the three guards of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.
For them, this is the war dividend after the war in Liaodong.
But for the court, Guihua City was a Tibetan Yellow Sect Center that was deliberately supported and was an important place to control the hearts of all tribes.
Since we are going to go out of seclusion, we should take a look and use our army to intimidate the three guards in the northern suburbs that have been surrendered. This is also natural.
This move not only ensures that the three guards in the northern border of the Selangori will still support the Ming Dynasty in the subsequent war, but also can use practical actions to allow the surrendered Mongolian tribes to see the determination of the northward expelling Lin Dankhan.
The scale of this battle was not as large as that of the Liaodong War, but the impact on the situation in the future border was not much different.
If victory is achieved, the left-wing tribes and even the southern tribes will surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Although the 30,000 households on the left wing are a mess, if they are tied together, they are powerful troops with similar strength as Chahar.
If Lin Dankhan was allowed to control the left wing troops, his power would increase exponentially and the threat to the border areas would increase day by day.
On the contrary, if the Ming Dynasty won this battle, it would mean that the forces loyal to Chahar were basically destroyed.
The loyalty of the 30,000 households on the left side will be of great significance to the future recovery of the Hetao area and the establishment of the Woerdus to manage the left side.
The Ming army came out of the pass in a mighty manner, walking on the way to Guihua City, looking at the border that was getting farther and farther away, no one was in a mood.
This is a real battle to go out of seclusion. Although the battle in Liaodong was also a battle to go out of seclusion, it was Shanhaiguan, and Liaodong was also a territory of the Ming Dynasty.
This time it was different. After leaving the border and outside the border, everything was unknown.
Even though all those who came out of seclusion this time were brave and warlike elites, they were afraid that they would not be able to return to their hometown, died on the grassland, and their bodies could not be buried in their hometown.
The same is true for Sun Chuanting. He is even more nervous than other generals and schools.

When all the civil and military officials in the court believed that Zhu Xieyuan should be the commander of the army, the emperor's sudden trust moved him, and he felt the burden on his shoulders.
Riding on the horse, holding the reins tightly, sweat was already oozing slightly.
Sun Chuanting was so confused that he didn't hear what Zhang Wanbang, the general of Datong beside him, so he had to ask:
"What did you say?"
Zhang Wanbang was stunned and suddenly realized that the supervisor Xu was also nervous.
He smiled slightly. After experiencing Wang Bao's incident, he saw the five thousand Qin troops who were in an orderly manner, and he was no longer as rude and presumptuous as before, and said:
"The last general is saying that this time I went out of seclusion to fight the Xilu, are the supervisor afraid?"
Sun Chuanting smiled, looked at the sunset, and said something that surprised Zhang Wanbang.
"Afraid."
"Is the supervisor afraid?" Zhang Wanbang and Sun Chuanting seemed to be walking on horses, but they were using their superb equestrian skills to always be half a horse's head.
This can not only respond quickly when danger comes, but also affect the conversation between the two.
Sun Chuanting looked at him, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "I am also human, so I will be afraid."
In front of the generals, Zhang Wanbang seemed to be smoothing out the situation for him.
"When the Supervisor killed Wang Bao that day, he faced tens of thousands of soldiers in Jizhou Army, but he was not afraid at all. You are too modest."
Sun Chuanting laughed and said nothing.
Soon, two Ye Bushu rushed back, and one of them immediately clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Supervisor, there are a large group of Mongolian cavalrymen thirteen miles ahead, under the banner of Uchiyete."
Wuqiyete is the headquarters of King Zaisei of Fuyu, and it is the most powerful tribe among the more than 20 small tribes of Fuyu Wei.
The second battlefield of the Battle of Liaodong revolves around Wuqiyete.
Sun Chuanting nodded and signaled to continue his march, and asked the Datong Army as the vanguard to adjust its formation to fight. The Western Barbarians came and went like the wind. As long as they came out of the pass, they should not underestimate the enemy's carelessness.
