Zhu Youcong came to Beijing again. Unlike the previous two times when he was escorted or went to Beijing privately, this time he arrived in the same car with the emperor. He no longer lived in the small palace villa of the Tianqi period.
Instead, Chongzhen personally ordered Li Guopu to supervise the construction of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which was inscribed by Yan Shenggong! In order not to make Zhu Youcong feel unfamiliar, the General's Mansion was seriously over-the-top. All buildings were constructed with reference to the original Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang. However,
None of this made the ungrateful fat man happy.
"Sister Zu'e, do you think the emperor has gone too far?" Nestling in the same small courtyard as Luoyang, Zhu Youcong's face was full of displeasure. He had never seen such a deceitful brother. He clearly said yes.
He wanted to use Nan Juyi as his military adviser, but not long after that, the emperor asked him to take it back.
"It shouldn't count!" Since she was a personal maid, of course she would follow her master wherever he went. Zhang Yan didn't care what the courtiers looked at her, and still played the piano quietly. "Master Nan, what happened in the court?
He has a relatively thorough grasp, and his strategy should be able to help the emperor implement the planned plan, but battlefield battles are not what he is good at..."
"But I will go on an expedition in more than a month. Where can he ask me to find such a suitable military advisor in such a short period of time? I don't think he will stop until he makes me lose a few kilograms of flesh.
!" Almost all the civil servants Zhu Youcong is familiar with have been dug out, and they all have jobs. Not to mention that he can't think of it now, even if he finds another one, it won't be able to compete with Nan who is born with a heart that hurts people.
Ju Yi was compared to him. The most hateful thing was that the second wife would rather work for the emperor as a behind-the-scenes adviser than ever see the light of day, rather than follow him around and cheat.
"Brother Cong, can't you be quiet? The emperor promised to send you someone else!" The little fairy handed over a peeled apple and blocked the mouth that had been talking about it all day.
She really didn't like Nan Juyi, who was locked in the room with Zhu Youcong, thinking about how to deceive people. If he hadn't been instigated by him, how could her kind-hearted brother Cong have come up with such a harmful trick of drugging?
"Come on, what other good stuff can the emperor send? If he doesn't continue to poach me, I will have to thank all the gods and Buddhas in the sky." Regarding Chongzhen's glorious deeds that have been deceived all over the history,
Zhu Youcong really couldn't take a good look at him. "You think, how about I get Mao Yuanyi here?"
"It's useless. The Emperor Zhezi who was recommended by Commander Sun to go to Shaanxi to replace Xiong Zhaojue in training the new army has already approved it and sent it out early this morning!" Zhang Yan's tone was very calm, but what she said was very hurtful.
"How could he do this? All the people were poached to my research institute, and my eldest brother didn't object at all?" Sure enough, Zhu Youcong jumped up from the bed after hearing this. He had originally thrown Mao Yuanyi into the research institute.
The hospital just wanted to have a back-up, and after squeezing out the knowledge of fire starters that others had, they captured them to chat and lead the troops, but now Chongzhen actually took the lead.
"This matter was brought up by the dean. You were on the boat at that time..." Zhang Yan was embarrassed to say that Zhu Youcong was so dizzy at that time that he had no time at all, so he had to stop there. And although Mao Yuanyi compiled this
"Military Preparations" But that was only because he had no choice but to see the weakening of the imperial court's military preparations. He was essentially a Confucian general who was familiar with military strategies. Zhu Qiji, who was in charge of the Luoyang Research Institute, also saw this and decided to
After he mastered the knowledge of using the new equipment, he took the initiative to let him go.
"No! I have to go to the emperor to reason with him. How can he be such a bully?" Zhu Youcong muttered while putting on his shoes: "If he doesn't give me an explanation this time, I will stay in the palace."
Got it!"
"My brother's palace cannot afford to support a general like you who can eat and drink..." As he spoke, Chongzhen walked in with a young man without anyone announcing it.
"Brother Emperor? Why are you here?" Anyway, in his own home, Zhu Youcong was not so polite.
"You go outside and wait for the announcement first!" Chongzhen said with a smile after pushing away the people he brought: "As a brother, I know that you have always only taken advantage and refused to suffer losses. This is not to rush to the next court and give you a gift later.
Military advisor?"
"Strategic advisor? Brother Emperor, are you talking about the one just now?" The young man who was already standing outside the door looked upright, and he knew that he was definitely not the kind of bad-tempered guy he wanted to be his military advisor.
I don’t know how much time it will take to slowly train him. Zhu Youcong really doesn’t have that time now.
"Of course not. This is my first time sending someone to you. I have to find someone you can't refuse!" This time Chongzhen was more reliable and did not let Zhu Youcong's enthusiasm encounter the thousand-year ice.
"Someone I can't refuse?" In this era, all the civil servants who were somewhat famous and had a rebellious spirit were kidnapped by Zhu Youcong. Even Zhang Huangyan, who was only eleven years old, was under the strictest surveillance, so his
My first reaction was that this royal brother wants to deceive people! No matter who you dig out, I will refuse. At worst, you will find someone to kidnap him back halfway.
"If Brother Wei knew it right, this time Si Shou's idea of provoking party strife turned into a plan to deal with all the courtiers and prepare a knife for them. Is there an expert behind the scenes?" Chongzhen didn't.
I rarely hear people say that my younger brother is very good at cheating. If he can't get him to nod and approve on the spot, I really don't want that person to get to the position smoothly.
"No, where did the master come from?" Zhu Youcong was not telling lies this time. He didn't know whether he was a master or not, but there must be a beauty. Because it was his eldest wife Zhang
Yan came up with this serial plan that required the emperor to complete the layout to deal with the entire scholar class!
As if he could predict the future, Chongzhen did not choose to argue with Zhu Youcong. Instead, he smiled and said: "Brother, I also know that you are not only going to destroy the Tatars, but also to take the first step in the expansion of the Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right!" Zhu Youcong really didn't want to deny this. Now 300,000 troops have begun to gather on the front line of Shanhaiguan. During this period, the arms produced crazily have also arrived at the front line, enough for all the troops to use for half a year. According to
According to the intelligence coming back from Liaodong, the Tatars are not worthy of such high-level treatment at all. Their little possessions are not enough to support the 200,000 new troops. What about the remaining 100,000 people? It is impossible to go and cheer for them?
"Just admit it!" Chongzhen took out a formal diagram of Liaodong and spread it on the table. He sat next to him with a tea cup and said with a smile: "You take a look at this first, and then continue talking for the sake of my brother!"
"Who wrote this?" The map was very simple and had no military deployment, but what made Zhu Youcong break into a cold sweat was the words "expansion trap" written next to the river in the lower right corner! Three hundred thousand troops came out of Shanhaiguan.
The Shaanxi New Army has returned to the Ganzhou Five Guards. If someone sees that they want to attack the Tatars, the old enemy of the Ming Dynasty, after finishing dealing with the Tatars, it would not be surprising. But this person can see his true intention.
This arrangement, which is still in the planning stage and has not been mentioned to anyone, was brought to the fore.
"Don't worry about who wrote it. I just want to ask you, is it right or wrong?" Chongzhen was very proud. When he first learned from that person where the expansion plan might start, his reaction was much better than
Zhu Youcong is much older now.
"Yes!" Bangzi in the Northeast Peninsula has been entangled with China for thousands of years. Most of the time, they were quite obedient. Even after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, they continued to use the Chongzhen reign name. They were as respectful as they were to their biological fathers. But these guys are too
He is a coward who yells louder than anyone else all day long. He dresses like the overlord of the universe but is repeatedly invaded by Japanese pirates. Every time he is bullied, he comes running for help. And being the boss of these guys is really not a good idea.
Easy. In order to help them drive away the Japanese pirate named Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Wanli period, they fought for several years. As a result, after repelling the Japanese, the Ming Dynasty suffered a lot of losses, causing the Manzhou boar skin to grow! Another time and space
Not to mention the Tatars. In order to be their father, he ended up having to cede land to survive, and almost made the Japanese pirates the masters of the Chinese land.
Moreover, Bangzi is not as harmless as it seems on the surface. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Bangzi country called Silla was not only ungrateful after being redeemed, but instead provoked a civil uprising to let the Tang Dynasty give up the territory it occupied in Goguryeo.
The Anton Governor's Mansion was moved to Liaodong. What angered Zhu Youcong the most was that these arrogant guys were divided into two groups in later generations. Those in the north would jump out and yell and cause trouble whenever they had nothing to do.
And those in the south even think that they can forget about their real father if they find a godfather, and they either fight over their ancestors or openly fight for territory.
In the era of migrant workers, Zhu Youcong had no choice but to be at the bottom of his status. He could not have any complaints against the foreign uncles, including Bangzi, otherwise those who rushed to be others' grandsons would jump out... But now that can be done
It’s different. He is the Crown Prince of Fu, the general who conquered the Ming Dynasty with a wave of his fat hand and killed tens of millions of people. Don’t you just want our ancestors? Come on, don’t worry about it. Save your energy and go to work after you return.
If we live like this for hundreds of years, our ancestors will belong to you! Besides, let others look after the door. How can it be better to enlarge the house yourself, build a wall, and mount a cannon?
"If that person guessed correctly, you still haven't found an excuse to act honestly?" Chongzhen's pressing step by step made Zhu Youcong feel as if he had been stripped naked and hung on display at the top of the city.
"Well!" Zhu Youcong was no longer interested in refuting. He just wanted to know who that person was, and he actually knew him better than his family.
"If I find this person and he can solve this problem for you, how do you plan to reuse him?"
"My brother immediately worshiped him as a military advisor and obeyed his advice!" In order to realize his ambition, let alone becoming a military advisor, even recognizing him as a brother was not a problem for Zhu Youcong. Of course, if he wanted to be anything else, it would definitely not work!
It seems that Zhu Youcong's reputation is indeed not very good. Even the emperor Chongzhen did not dare to believe it easily. He took out another piece of paper from his arms and said: "This is a military order written for you by my brother. You sign it."
I’ll give it to you after I finish writing!”
"Sure!" Although he felt that he had been cheated, Zhu Youcong still wrote his own name and stamped it on the military order that left the opponent's name blank.
Chongzhen cheerfully filled in another name and said: "Hey, it's done! Let me tell you, Brother Cong is very good at thinking about the overall situation!"
