Zhu Cixuan, who was once again tortured by endless case files and couldn't even step out of his room for a whole day, finally broke out. After reviewing more than ten reports in a row that did not express his purpose, said nothing and were extremely lengthy, he was no longer bored.
, swept all these case files aside.
"No wonder the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had to rely on the cabinet and eunuchs to help process the memorials. They were surrounded by these junk messages every day, so how could they have the time and energy to think about business!" Zhu Cixuan, who was sweating profusely, said bitterly. He stared at him with a bad look on his face.
Looking at the piles of case files, his face full of entanglements and contradictions, he finally forced himself to sit down.
"Wang Banban!" Zhu Cixuan shouted with his head lowered. At this moment, he had an idea.
"Master, my servant is here." Wang Tonghe was as respectful as ever.
Zhu Cixuan still did not raise his head and directly ordered: "Go to Kunming again and invite Master Yang and the officials of the East Palace to come to Chengdu. I want to establish a cabinet."
Wang Tonghe trembled in fright at the word "cabinet" and said in a trembling voice: "Young master?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Cixuan asked confused.
"My lord, your majesty is still alive..." Wang Tonghe whispered. This lord is so courageous. How can the prince set up the cabinet privately?
Zhu Cixuan was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, saying helplessly: "Okay, I made a slip of the tongue. It's not the cabinet. Well, let's call it the Secretariat. I need a Secretariat to help handle political affairs. You go ask Master Yang and Dong Gong
The official came to Chengdu."
Wang Tonghe still did not move: "My lord, the officials of the East Palace are not a big problem, but Bachelor Yang is a member of the cabinet. If His Majesty doesn't nod, he may not dare to come to Chengdu privately." Moreover, Wang Tonghe secretly complained that Yang was here.
He is the confirmed next chief assistant, why would he be willing to come to Chengdu and submit?
"Huh?" Zhu Cixuan then realized that he was thinking too simplistic, "In this case, I will write a memorial to my father, asking my father to send someone to Chengdu to serve as the counselor of the Secretariat. You first go to see Master Yang and ask him
Recommend a capable person when the time comes."
After Zhu Cixuan finished writing the memorial and sent Wang Tonghe away, he just picked up a case file, but before he had time to read it, he received a secret report from Jin Yiwei.
"If the clouds don't rain, the war will begin." After reading the secret report, Zhu Cixuan was no longer as relaxed as before. Jinyiwei integrated information from the capital, Shaanxi, Hunan and other places, plus the information from Liu Xuanchu, who had become an insider, and judged that Wu Sangui would
In October, he raised his troops and went south, aiming at Chongqing.
"The last battle in history in which the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed the Southern Ming Dynasty is finally about to begin. Although it is a few months late, it is true to that sentence. Although it is late, it has arrived." Suppressing the uneasiness and excitement in his heart, Zhu Cixuan began to take stock.
The strength in his own hands. It has to be said that with the flapping of his butterfly wings, the situation in Nanming has improved a lot compared to history. The two kings of Jin and Shu did not turn against each other, and Xiying did not fall apart. This was not possible in history.
The development of Sichuan was progressing smoothly. More importantly, Hong Chengchou died early, which deprived the Manchu Qing Dynasty of the magic needle to subdue all parties and coordinate the war. Under the circumstances, blocking the Qing Dynasty's attack was no longer a fantasy.
.
"I wonder how Yang Jing's arrangements in Chongqing are going..." Zhu Cixuan murmured to himself. The foundation in Chengdu was still too weak, and the time left for him was too little. If the Manchu and Qing dynasties kept wrangling, it would be a drag.
In two years, the situation will be completely different. According to the current development speed of Chengdu, in two years, before Wu Sangui goes south, he will take the initiative to start a war.
"Call Tan Yi, Tan Hong, and Yang Youcai to see me." Putting aside the complicated thoughts, Zhu Cixuan said in a deep voice.
"I have received the report. Wu Sangui will go south to Chongqing in October." Looking around at the people standing in solemn silence, Zhu Cixuan said straight to the point, "By then, Sun Ke is expected to send troops to Guizhou to contain the King of Jin, and Hu Quancai will also attack Kuidong. In other words, Chongqing will
Survival or failure depends entirely on us."
Everyone's expressions became solemn, and Zhu Cixuan continued: "From now on, Chengdu has fully entered a state of war preparation. All production and materials are given priority to military use. The blacksmith shop will no longer produce farm tools, and will focus on building armor and equipment. When the farmland is mature, it will be organized to harvest immediately, except for
In addition to rations and seeds, the Governor-General's Office purchased all food and put it into storage. Establish a warehouse in Xuzhou, collect all salt ships and sailors, and prepare to supply Chongqing at any time. In addition, do a good job in war propaganda, mobilize the people, and organize civilian workers
Be on standby at any time and tell the people that if the Tatars attack Chengdu, all their fields will be lost."
These are all civil arrangements, and Tan Yi and Tan Hong took the orders personally.
"Tan Hong, are there any plans for iron ore mining in Jianchang? The blacksmith shop is about to build weapons on a large scale, and it can't do without iron ore." Thinking of the iron ore mining matters that had been arranged before, Zhu Cixuan asked casually.
Tan Hong immediately replied: "Your Highness, we have arranged for people to mine. The news from Jianchang said that the iron ore reserves there are huge and the mining difficulty is not high. The first batch of ore can be mined within a month."
Transported back to Chengdu."
Wang Qilong brought back a lot of people from Hubei, and many of them were professionals who knew how to prospect and mine, which greatly supplemented Chengdu's shortcomings in this area. Zhu Cixuan was happy in his heart, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that the slaves liked to plunder people from the Ming Dynasty.
Sure enough, trading without capital is the shortcut to making a fortune.
"Very good, you should take the time to go to Jianchang, and be sure to do a good job in safety work in the mining area. These people are all treasures, and I feel heartbroken if one of them dies." After Zhu Cixuan finished his instructions, he turned to Yang Youcai and said, "Military aspect
, Expand the army immediately. Now that Qilong, Yang Jing, and Liu Yao are not here, you have to take on this matter. Form the second division. It does not mean that they can go to Chongqing to fight immediately, but at least they must be able to stabilize Chengdu. If we really want the Tatars to fight
Come here, they have to dare to go up to the city wall to defend the city, is there any problem?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely do it in the end." Yang Youcai, who had been making soy sauce everywhere, was extremely excited. His talent, which had nowhere to be put, was finally put to use.
"There are ready-made regulations for recruiting, organizing, and training. According to the One Belt and Five principle, you select a group of veterans from the first division to serve as officers of the second division, and then fill the vacancies in the first division as soon as possible." Zhu Cixuan
He warned that he was very worried about Yang Youcai, but there was no one available, so he had to let him do it first. Zhu Cixuan was thinking about transferring Wang Qilong back as soon as possible. The Dongting Lake Navy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was currently unable to survive, and Lao Wang had been staying here.
This is not a problem in Kuidong.
After thinking about it, Zhu Cixuan was worried and added: "Let Yang Jing come back and work with you to reorganize the first and second divisions. After the first division is replenished, it will go directly to Chongqing. Send someone to inform Supervisor Wen.
He and Lin Guogong asked them to make preparations to attack Hu Quancai and support Chongqing. And..." As he said, he turned to Tan Yi again, "Arrange some people to repair the city wall of Chengdu, although most Tatars will not know how to do it.
When we call Chengdu, we are well prepared."
"That's pretty much it. Go down and take care of it immediately." Zhu Cixuan waved his hand, "If you have any questions, report to me immediately."
After everyone retreated, Zhu Cixuan took up his pen and began to write a letter to Li Dingguo. It was time to implement the plan he and Liu Wenxiu had made.
"I still feel that it is not safe. What other power can be used?" Zhu Cixuan once again reviewed his arrangements and tried hard to find any omissions. "By the way, Zheng Chenggong should also take action."
Thinking of the beautiful scene where the Qing Dynasty rushed towards Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, but Zheng Chenggong stabbed them hard in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but reveal an evil smile.
"Sometimes, it feels good to be a villain who secretly plots against others."
