Zhu Youjian was concerned about many things and had many troubles, but in the eyes of this young emperor, none of these were problems.
This is the self-confidence of a great Ming Dynasty emperor who is ready to revitalize China. He survived such a critical situation a year ago, and Wei Zhongxian, who almost made him walk on thin ice at the beginning, was also swept into the garbage heap of history by him.
All of this proves that he is truly the person to whom destiny belongs.
He has always admired and always used it as an aphorism to remind himself of being calm when faced with important events.
Be calm and then you can be at peace, be at peace and then be able to worry, and be at ease and then be able to gain. No matter how bad everything is, calm down first, and then slowly think about countermeasures, there will always be a way to solve the problem in front of you.
And he did the same.
From expelling Wei Zhongxian and cleaning up the eunuchs, to sending Yang He as the governor of the three sides to quell the civil unrest in the northwest, and making Yuan Chonghuan the governor of Jiliao, he took care of this huge empire step by step, working hard and forgetting to eat and sleep.
His efforts have finally paid off. Yuan Chonghuan put down the Ningyuan mutiny in Liaodong, and then reorganized his army in Dongjiang. The situation outside the pass seems to be improving step by step, but inside the pass, the governor of the three sides, Yang He, has been receiving good news frequently. Now he
Nanhaiwei, who had not placed too many expectations on it, also brought him unexpected surprises.
This made him feel that even God was helping him.
However, if God really helps him, Ming Dynasty should have good weather and abundant harvests. However, God is probably too busy and has not paid attention to all the things in this world, or God feels that he should not do everything.
, so there are still many natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Zhu Youjian still felt that this was not a big problem.
Natural disasters may occur in one year, or in two years, but they will not be frequent every year. The imperial court has a prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally there is a barren land in the northwest. As long as the people keep their peace, they will not become refugees wandering around.
It is enough for the imperial court to cause trouble everywhere.
The expansion of Nanhaiwei's army, which now has nearly ten thousand people, is not a big deal. If Jiang Wan trains these soldiers and horses to be really capable of fighting, he will be happy to see the results. One of them is in the hands of the emperor, and they can fight at any time.
What does he have to worry about when his soldiers and horses obey his will without any compromise?
Nanhaiwei used firearms to kill the enemy and achieved great results. He didn't care too much. The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty had a long history of using firearms. When Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu were emperors, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty used firearms to defeat Mobei.
The Tatars were defeated one after another. Jiang Wan was good at using the sharpness of firearms, which can be regarded as his method of using troops.
Does he, the emperor, need to care about the general's path?
However, it took almost no time for Jiang Wan to defraud the so-called "treasure" from the Fo Langji people. The Jinyiwei side sent him the specific content he needed. Luo Yangxing did a great job in the position of the Jinyiwei commander.
It was even better than he imagined. At this point, he did not regret transferring Jiang Wan to Shaanxi. If Jiang Wan and his Nanhai Guards were in the capital, Luo Yangxing wanted to integrate them in such a short period of time.
It is not an easy task for Jinyiwei to become his eagle dog that Zhu Youjian can use very smoothly.
In Zhu Youjian's mind, there is an essential difference between Luo Yangxing and Jiang Wan.
Luo Yangxing was his minister. As long as he gave orders, Luo Yangxing would do his best without hesitation and even exceed his expectations.
Jiang Wan is also his minister, but it seems that he is not completely his minister. At least, he is not the kind of minister who waits for his orders before doing things. The advantage of Jiang Wan is that he has orders from Zhu Youjian.
However, when Zhu Youjian did not give instructions, Jiang Wan would also find something to do, and then at the last moment, everyone discovered what Zhu Youjian wanted to do.
Before that, Jiang Wan had already done most of the things.
No matter whether Zhu Youjian is a prince or an emperor, no matter what Zhu Youjian has thought of, or what Zhu Youjian has not thought of.
Just like in Shaanxi, if Luo Yangxing led the army to quell the chaos, Zhu Youjian could only imagine what Luo Yangxing would do.
He must first go to the Governor of Shaanxi and hand over all his troops to the Governor of Shaanxi. Now that the Governor of Shaanxi is vacant, Luo Yangxing must have gone to the Governor's Mansion of the Three Sides. Then, where should he garrison?
When it came to quelling the chaos, he must have followed the arrangements of the three governor-general offices.
And based on the special nature of his troops and horses, the governors of the three sides will definitely not send these troops to death. After a little training and some achievements, Luo Yangxing can take this troops back to Beijing to restore the order.
The achievements are his own credit. If something goes wrong, it is naturally because the local soldiers and horses did not cooperate well.
After all, quelling the rebellion is mainly a matter of local soldiers and horses. When the imperial guards are here, they are just guest troops and will have to leave sooner or later. Everyone is happy and supporting each other. This is the way to be an official.
However, Jiang Wan's approach was completely different. What he did in Shaanxi was something Zhu Youjian did not expect. He stationed in the capital, gathered the refugees, opened the country in exchange for money and food, and expanded the local troops. If these things were done by the local troops,
There's nothing wrong with it at all, but it's a little strange that he, the Nanhai Guard, has a Jing Guard to do it.
Not to mention, no matter how great the achievements he achieved, Jiang Wan seemed to look down upon him. He just quietly operated in Shaanxi, as if he must quell all the civil unrest in Shaanxi and restore peace to the court.
A stable Shaanxi can be regarded as fulfilling the emperor's will.
Zhu Youjian didn't even know how to judge this guy.
Call him stupid!
Zhu Youjian knew that Jiang Wan was not stupid at all. A fool could not build Tingyu Tower, and it was impossible for him to compete with the eunuchs in the treacherous situation when he had just ascended the throne.
It is impossible to defeat the bandits time and time again in the land of Shaanxi. When the court has almost no money and food, it is impossible to defeat more and more soldiers and horses, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.
But let’s call him smart!
Everyone can see that the emperor ordered him to go out of Beijing to quell the chaos, but he did not expect that his bodyguards could go to Shaanxi to turn the tide and become the pinnacle of the Northwest. His small bodyguard commander could go to Shaanxi to quell the chaos.
The emperor gave him an opportunity to earn seniority and military exploits.
After dealing with it for a while in Shaanxi, when he returns to the capital, the emperor will definitely reward him and use him heavily.
In fact, Zhu Youjian really planned this. When Jiang Wan came back from Shaanxi, he would definitely make up for it. As his closest confidant, he would not be mean and abandon him. Even in the capital, there is no one now.
However, if placed anywhere, after a few years of experience, Jiang Wan would not be surprised to become an important minister in his own right and Zhu Youjian's assistant.
"This guy doesn't seem to want to come back to Beijing. According to his plan, I will not order him to come back!"
Zhu Youjian shook his head and smiled as he opened the booklet given by Luo Yangxing. Next to him, Wang Chengen kept smiling and staying with Zhu Youjian.
Sometimes the emperor seems to be talking to himself, but in fact he is talking to him. Sometimes it seems to be talking to him, but he is talking to himself. The sense of propriety in this is probably the only one who has enough contact with the emperor.
Only those who have been around for a long time can master it easily!
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhezi, but a look of surprise slowly appeared on his face. Luo Yangxing in front of him always lowered his head slightly, as if he had been waiting for his orders.
"Has it been verified?" Zhu Youjian gently placed the fold on the dragon case: "If what is said in this is true, it is understandable that the Folangji people will be furious. They are really not from my race, and their minds must be different. They
You don’t even think that my Ming Dynasty is any better than me!"
"It's basically true!" Luo Yangxing replied: "In the Fo Langji mission, I paid a lot of money to bribe several people. Without knowing each other, what they said was correct. The possibility of falsehoods is very high.
I was worried that the Folangji people had unified their rhetoric a long time ago, and I searched for a few Folangji priests from overseas in the capital. They had also heard of similar things, but even from overseas,
Earth, these things are also under the control of the Folangji people. If they are smuggled out illegally, they will be subject to hard labor at the least and beheading at the worst!"
"In that case, I, the Ming Dynasty, have never known about the existence of this thing. It's not because you are slacking off, but because the Folangji people have always kept their mouths shut!"
Luo Yangxing remained silent. He didn't know how to answer this question.
"But how did Jiang Wan know about this?" Zhu Youjian frowned: "Don't say that he has dealt with Fo Langji people a lot. I have many Ming officials who have dealt with Fo Langji people. Since then,
There are hundreds of them from the capital to Guangdong, but these officials couldn't find out any information, but Jiang Wan knew about it while he was in Shaanxi, and even sent someone to steal it from the Fo Langji people?"
"This, according to my speculation, there should be an important Buddhist woman who has a crush on Mr. Jiang. In order to please Mr. Jiang and gain his favor, she revealed this information to Mr. Jiang, and with her help, she put this thing
Smuggled to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty!"
Luo Yangxing smiled and said: "It is reported that we met this woman when Lord Jiang was a professor in the Tenth Prince's Palace and participated in the observation of the cannon trade of Folangji!"
Zhu Youjian's expression suddenly became strange. He looked back at Wang Chengen: "Is Jiang Wan not married yet?"
"Your Majesty once rewarded him with a concubine, Li Fuyao, who used to take care of your Majesty's affairs in the palace!" Wang Chengen replied: "Other than that, Jiang Wan rarely has other women serving him! And he has never been married!"
"Let this Fo Langji woman take advantage of it!" Zhu Youjian muttered, but shook his head slightly. Jiang Wan is the person he wants to use. If the main wife is a Fo Langji woman, this
It's out of character.
"On Duke Ding's side, the Queen Mother intended to bring Miss Xu and Jiang Wan together. However, not long after this matter was raised, Jiang Wan left the capital under the order, and the Queen Mother never mentioned it again!"
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Youjian's eyes widened and he suddenly became interested: "Doesn't this mean that Xu Caining chased Jiang Wan to Shaanxi? This is a bit interesting. This Miss Xu family
He looks heroic, but he is not a shy person!"
"I feel that this Fo Langji woman is so affectionate that your Majesty should commend her vigorously!" Luo Yangxing suddenly said: "Xu Caining is the daughter of Duke Ding. If she marries Mr. Jiang, it will be a waste of Mr. Jiang's talents.
!”
"I don't think so!" Zhu Youjian glanced at Luo Yangxing and said slowly: "If you can't even trust me, Duke Ding, then naturally you can't trust me, Duke Xu. Then who else can I trust in the entire Ming Dynasty?"
"As for Jiang Wan, hum!" Zhu Youjian's voice suddenly became softer: "I sometimes wonder, on the first night when I entered the palace, if it hadn't been for Jiang Wan, would that old dog Wei Zhongxian really be ready to make a move?
Is it bad for me?"
There was silence in the room, neither Wang Chengen nor Luo Yangxing dared to speak at this moment.
"Jin Yiwei needs someone to go to Yan'an Mansion!" After a while, Zhu Youjian suddenly raised his head: "I should know about Jiang Wan, I want to be clear about it. In addition, regarding the overseas crops, Jin Yiwei is in Yan'an Mansion.
Another important thing is that Jin Yiwei's mission is to ensure that Jiang Wan can cultivate this crop and successfully test it near Yan'an Prefecture. If the people of Folangji can use these things to solve the food shortage, can't I, the Ming Dynasty, do it?"
"When Jin Yiwei is acting, do you need to inform Mr. Jiang?" Luo Yangxing nodded and asked for instructions.
"Are you the commander of the Jin Yiwei, or am I the commander of the Jin Yiwei!" Zhu Youjian raised his brows and glanced at him with some dissatisfaction: "How to act, do you need me to teach you?"
Luo Yangxing bowed his head and retreated. Zhu Youjian shook his head, still feeling a little disappointed.
Luo Yangxing's last sentence seemed to be loyal, but in fact he still meant to compete with Jiang Wan for favor. If Zhu Youjian had not realized the subtleties before, but now he felt it clearly.
Why do Jin Yiwei need to inform local officials about his actions? He can just report it directly to the emperor. Luo Yangxing's unnecessary question, at best, shows that the pattern is not enough. At worst, it puts Jiang Wan in trouble.
It tastes like roasted food.
When the Jin Yiwei reported the matter to the emperor, they also notified the officials involved. Doesn't that mean that the local power of the officials involved was greater than the imperial power.
"Don't tell the Queen Mother about Xu Caining's return!" He shook his head and threw these thoughts behind him. The king should focus on the principle of balance. It is not a bad thing for the Jin Yiwei to be wary of Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan can act with the Jin Yiwei watching.
Naturally, he would be more restrained. As long as both parties did not go too far, he would not bother to clarify the matter.
"My slave knows!" Wang Chengen nodded: "My slave will tell Duke Ding!"
"When you go, ask Ding Guogong what his plans are for Xu Caining's marriage!" Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment: "If Jiang Wan can marry the Xu family, it can be regarded as a good match. My Conglong family
