Since Huaien came back, Zhu Youtang asked Huaien to stay at Qianqing Palace every day. After these few days of heart-to-heart talks, he found that Huaien was indeed a far-sighted person. If he were not an eunuch, he would be capable enough to serve as one of the six central ministries. one.

On the fourth night, Huaien refused to stay at Qianqing Palace for any reason. He believed that there was a difference between monarch and minister, and he was a slave of the emperor. How could he sleep in the same bed with the emperor?

Tonight, Zhu Youtang had insomnia.

On the dragon bed, he rolled over and over again and thought about his modern life. Although being the county magistrate of a small county in a remote mountainous area was very stressful and the income was not very high, in his spare time he could masturbate with his friends at a barbecue stall. Go out together, drink beer, and brag. You can play football with your friends for a while and relax. You can also talk on the phone with your parents and relatives and talk about what’s on your mind. But since he traveled here, he can’t talk about what’s on his mind. , he is an emperor, and he carries the burden of the fifty million people of the Ming Dynasty on his shoulders. Because of his special status, few people can confide in him. Even Huai En in the past two days has always been considerate and forward-thinking when speaking. .

The Qianqing Palace was built in the 18th year of Yongle reign and has always been the residence of the Ming emperor.

This palace is so big, I always feel that something is missing. Before the mourning period is over, I can't sleep in the queen's palace. Historically, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang, only married one wife in his life, Queen Zhang, who was known as the model emperor in ancient times. .But I am not that stupid. After finally traveling through time once, how can I still establish monogamy again? Not to mention that I am an emperor, even an ordinary person still has to have several concubines!

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he decided not to sleep. Zhu You put on some clothes and got ready to walk. As soon as he got off the ground, he heard the sound of soft footsteps outside the palace.

The hurried footsteps belonged to He Ding. Because Wynn was already old, it was impossible for him to run so fast.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from the northwest, the Tatars invaded Lanzhou Guards, destroyed the city, burned, killed and looted. Six hundred and forty-five people died!"

Sure enough, war broke out on the border again, and the Ming Empire's life-long enemy, the Mongols, rose again!

Lanzhou Guard is the future capital of Gansu Province, Lanzhou City. The original establishment of Lanzhou Guard was mainly to prevent the rise of the remaining Mongol forces in Lanzhou area, to support the border guards, and to transport military supplies to Hexi. At that time, it belonged to the inland guards, and the guards mainly Responsible for farming and has fewer troops.

However, since the war god Zhu Qi of the Ming Dynasty defeated the Tumubao and Oura in the town, all the elites of the Ming Dynasty were lost. In Mongolia, the Oara invaded the northwest many times, and the internal defense line continued to shrink. Especially since the Chenghua period, the military service was too heavy and the farmland was neglected, resulting in the serious desertion of soldiers. .

Zhu Youtang snatched the memorial, which probably meant the memorial from Liu Ning, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province: "On January 15, the Tatars attacked in three directions, attacking Ningxia Town along the way, attacking Suzhou Guard along the way, and plundering all the way. Lanzhou. Ningxia Town, Suzhou Guard Commanders Liao Bing and Ding Yue defeated the Tatars. Only the Lanzhou Guard commander Wu Hua left his post without permission that day and went to Liangzhou to drink with the commander Chen Ming, leaving the Lanzhou Guard without anyone. The command was captured by the Tatars, and 645 people died."

"How did the two mediocre generals Wu Hua and Chen Ming become commanders?" Aren't these people named Wu Hua and Chen Ming just drunkards? Because they drank and lost their fighting opportunities, the people of the Ming Dynasty lost 640 Five people died at the hands of the Mongols.

"Returning to your Majesty, Wu Hua and Chen Ming were both recommended by Chief Minister Wan."

"It's Wan'an again! Such incompetent people are harming the country! He Ding, tell me, should I kill him?" Zhu Youtang's sudden question startled He Ding, and the word "kill" came out of his mouth.

, indicating that the emperor was already furious.

"I don't know, please leave it to your Majesty to decide." No matter how you say it, Wan An is the chief minister of the cabinet at that time. Although he is the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, he cannot speak out about the murder of the chief minister easily. Otherwise, he will be punished by the court.

Wan An's accomplices or people under him in the hall found out later, but they didn't even know how he died.

"It's okay, you old cunning guy. I won't force you. I drafted an order: "Wuhua, General Chen Ming drank and delayed the fight, beheaded in public, as a warning to others!"

Since the Chenghua period, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has shrunk a lot. In the Northeast, the Nuergan Dusi was abolished during the Xuande period, which caused the former Oara forces to enter the Northeast beyond Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty's rule in the Northeast beyond Liaodong basically collapsed. Grassland.

With the assistance of Manduhai, Balumengke unified all Mongolian tribes, and the power of the newly established Mongol Khanate has reached as far as Korea in the east and Central Asia in the west. The Ming Dynasty lacked institutional rule in the Hetao area, so that it had no control over the Hetao area.

Control was gradually lost, and the Mongols aimed to incorporate the Hetao area into their own territory.

Zhu Youtang really wanted to gather troops and horses to have a good fight with the Mongols, but now the elite of the Ming Dynasty have basically been lost in Tumu Fort. The current army is filled with wine bags and rice bags arranged by some noble people just to get more.

A share of imperial grain.

It seems that it is time to make changes. In addition to the changes to the Four Guards of Tengxiang, the military system reform of the Beijing Camp and the national army must be carried out. I also need to create an invincible and invincible new army! How to change?

Reform requires expenses. Where do the expenses come from? You have to ask the system.

The soul traveled to Zhu Youtang and came to this world. Zhu Youtang only summoned the system twice. One time was just when the soul traveled and there was a novice reward. The second time was to order the arrest of Li Zi Province, but Zhu Youtang clearly remembered that both times

There is a choice of "one hundred thousand taels of silver" among the rewards. As long as you summon it a few more times, won't you get military expenses?

I remember that today I also did several political things that were beneficial to the development of the Ming Empire. Can I summon the system?

"Goldfinger? Goldfinger, I order you to come out and sleep with me!"

Ding dong... [I heard the call from the host. The host has not met the summoning conditions today. Please be diligent in political affairs and continue to work hard]

Zhu Youtang curled his lips and thought: "The triggering conditions of this system are too harsh, isn't it? I have been so diligent today but I have not met the conditions? (Most of them were approved by He Ding).

"There are still a few political matters we need to check."

Ding dong... [need two more]

Zhu Youtang turned his brain rapidly but couldn't think of anything. Suddenly he saw He Ding still standing outside the door, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

"He Ding, please come in first and talk to me."

He Ding walked in cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body."

"He Ding, how long have you not seen your family? Are you homesick?"

Seeing that the emperor suddenly asked about his family, He Ding thought that he had done something wrong and wanted to drive him away. He quickly knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, what did this slave do wrong? Do you want to drive me away?"
