The second thousand two hundred and ninety-five chapters prepare for war

After Wu Zheng in the hall ascended the throne, he immediately issued three decrees.

The first decree he issued was to enthrone his father Wu Bochang as the Supreme Emperor.

The second decree was to confer Zhu Chenyu as the eldest princess and to be named "Yongjia".

The third decree is to be all official positions and remains unchanged for three years.

Then, Wu Zhengmai went down two steps and handed back the jade seal in his hand to Zhu Chenyu.

This action not only shocked Zhu Chenyu, but also made all the civil and military officials in the palace look down upon him.

Zhu Chenyu asked in shock, "Brother... what does your majesty mean?"

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, "You are a descendant of Huizong, and this seal was made by Huizong and kept by you, which is natural!"

Mao Xiang was really anxious, "Your Majesty... No, the jade seal is a symbol of the country's oak, how can it be handed over to others? I hope Your Majesty think twice!"

All the ministers shouted, "I hope your Majesty think twice!"

Wu Zheng laughed, "When I returned to Shaoxing, I only had a small sentry officer, and then moved to the eighth year of war, expelling the Tartars in the north, fighting against rebellion in the south, and sweeping the world into the east... Have you ever used jade seals? You all know that I was not ordered by heaven. Since I was going to build a new dynasty of the ancients in the wild, I naturally should carve new seals!"

The ministers looked at each other and thought that they were indeed a weird person...uh...wei Jun!

But no one wanted to confront the new emperor at this moment, including Mao Xiang and others, and thought in his heart what Wu Zheng said was not without reason.

The imperial seal has long been lost, and this seal was actually made by Huizong.

Since it is a new dynasty, it is natural that it should be re-engraved with new seals from a new atmosphere. It is also reasonable.

So, the ministers bowed again, "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Zhu Chenyu calmed down and took the jade seal from Wu Zheng, then bowed, "Thank you for your accomplishment!"

....

Wuying Palace.

Wu Zheng sat cross-legged, without any ritual of the emperor.

Mao Xiang, the ministers of the cabinet, and Xia Wanchun and other military ministers, all sat on brocade benches and faced Wu Zheng.

"Xia Wanchun."

"I'm here."

"Are you interested in going out of seclusion?"

Xia Wanchun was stunned and hurriedly said, "I am naturally interested...but, the battle in Fujian offshore is not decided at the moment... I think it would be better to have a little more time to attack the Qing court."

Mao Xiang also said anxiously: "I think what Duke Wei said is reasonable... Your Majesty must rest for the people's livelihood!"

Wu Zheng shook his hand and laughed, "It's impolite to come but not go! People are fighting too many wars and their courage is getting stronger and stronger. You are pacified, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller... The Tartars were driven out of the pass and were defeated by Shanhaiguan. They have long lost their arrogance. At this time, it is a good opportunity to fight with victory. It is said that it is better to chase the remaining bravery and not to seek fame as the overlord... Xia Wanchun, if you are not interested, then I will fight in person. At that time, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

Xia Wanchun turned his head, his eyes touched Mao Xiang, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "I am interested, I am willing to go... I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to lead the troops to attack the north. I will wipe out the Tartars and live up to your entrustedness!"

Wu Zheng nodded, "That's right, soldiers should be proud... I ask you, how many people do you need to be sure?"

Xia Wanchun thought for a moment and looked at Mao Xiang again, "...Return to Your Majesty, you need...50,000 elite soldiers."

"Well." Wu Zheng refused to comment and thought for a while, "I will give you an 80,000 army... In addition to your Jianyang Guard, I will send you 20,000 troops in the First Army in Tongzhou at this time, and 30,000 people from Zuoying to hand them over to you... At the same time, after Shi Lang and Zhang Mingzhen were in charge, I will send a navy to the north to provide you with supplies and support!"

When Xia Wanchun heard this, he was excited, "With this 80,000 army, within a year, I will definitely be able to sweep the north...!"

"No...no!" Wu Zheng shook his head, "Five months!"

"Three months?" Xia Wanchun was shocked.

Wu Zheng sneered: "Such military force can be used to plow the courtyard and sweep the caves... Five months is enough!"

Xia Wanchun was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "If it is five months... I beg your Majesty to grant me the command of the Fenglei Knight!"

Wu Zheng laughed and pointed at Xia Wanchun and said, "You have learned bad things...well, I agree! However, the ugly words are ahead, you can't destroy my Fenglei Rider in the north!"

"My minister, I will thank you!"

....

"Mao Xiang."

"I'm here." Mao Xiang was nervous. He felt that he could not keep up with Wu Zheng's rhythm.

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, "Don't worry too much. It's a matter of time before the victory of the offshore war is achieved. Then, the food and supplies that the court wants to transport to the south can be transferred to the north. In addition, it is almost summer. Once the summer grain is collected, the food will be enough to fight a battle... as long as the battle is quick and the decision is enough... it's enough!"

"I obey the order." Mao Xiang responded, and then quickly changed the topic, "Your Majesty, the peacekeeping mission of the foreign people has been to Jing for many days... I would like to ask Your Majesty to tell you, or not to talk?"

Wu Zheng pondered for a while, waved his hand and said, "Let's hang them for a few days first!"

Mao Xiang hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Your Majesty will tell you... When will the throne ceremony be held? In addition, the name of the country and the year name must be decided by Your Majesty!"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's write it up first!"

“…I, follow the order!”

Seeing that Wu Zheng was a little tired, Mao Xiang said, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to give, then... I will take my leave first and go to the palace to report tomorrow!"

Wu Zheng nodded and waved his hand, "Old Ma, stay."

After Mao Xiang and others withdrew from Wuying Hall, Wu Zheng leaned down to the right.

Ma Shiying stepped forward diligently, took a brocade mat and supported it on Wu Zhengshou's side.

"Old Ma, is the Ministry of Revenue's job full of money?"

Wu Zheng said suddenly, Ma Shiying was so scared that he knelt down, "Your Majesty, don't you believe in your loyalty... You ask me to take what I should take, and don't take what I shouldn't take... I swear that if I take a penny, I shouldn't take... I will hang my beam at home so as not to dirty your Majesty's holy eyes!"

Wu Zheng slammed his mouth, "Look at you... You are so old, you are so stupid... Get up!"

"Thank you!" Ma Shiying wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead and stood up with a shy face, "Your Majesty... I heard that something happened in the city before Your Majesty left Hangzhou Prefecture?"

Wu Zheng slanted Ma Shiying, "You are very informed."

Ma Shiying hurriedly explained: "It was the chief minister who discussed with me. When His Majesty was preparing to enter the capital... I only know those... a little bit!"

Wu Zheng said "Hmm", "I feel like I'm gloating when I hear your tone?"

Ma Shiying suddenly said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am not gloating... I really feel that this person cannot have a second thought... Anyone who has committed an act of surrendering to the enemy will not be trusted!"

Wu Zheng said "hmm" again, "What I told you before... how did you do?"

Ma Shiying took out a few pages of paper from his chest, stepped forward, and presented it to Wu Zheng, "According to His Majesty's previous intention, I have checked all the two ministers in the city and those who are rich and unkind... This is the list!"
