"Husband, is this your next target?" In a tightly guarded mansion in Nanjing City, Zhang Yan looked at the big red circle on the map in disbelief.
"Yes! This is my primary target!" Zhu Youcong's frowning for many days finally relaxed, and he said fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes: "I will personally lead the navy and swallow this place in one go. I will never give it to you. Any chance of anyone interfering!”
Zhu Youcong locked himself in the room not because he was upset with anyone. To be honest, he really didn't have that kind of free time. He went to the palace on time every day to eat just so that he could exercise a little after the meal and take a walk to avoid eating. While he was full and sleepy, he could also lose weight at the same time. Of course, the target of losing weight was his mule.
As early as when Chongzhen led his ministers to the Baishuiyang to welcome the triumphant army, the fake Taoist Wang Zheng had already approached him and raised the issue of shortage of raw materials. Logically speaking, there are quite a lot of undiscovered resources in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Partial mining can fully meet the current production demand, but Zhu Youcong does not intend to name the few major mines he knows. Those are the property of future generations of the Ming Dynasty, and he cannot find them without hollowing out other people's homes. Use it for any reason.
He had already chosen a place to grow food, and Annan next to it was very good. Zhu Youcong also wanted to know, if he had used this army that he had formed to have a force of seven million to play with his ancestor Chengzu, what would happen in the third year of the Apocalypse? After the invasion of the small place in Guangxi is swallowed up, will it affect the country in another time and space that has been occupied by these scourges with twenty-nine islands and the comrade-like friendship between them? As for Siam, it can only be regarded as Hunting rabbits in the grass. Zhu Youcong even thought of an explanation to the people in the country, and just said that these guys are not pleasing to the eye! [
"But isn't it too far here? They didn't provoke me, the Ming Dynasty?" The knowledgeable Zhang Yan did not raise any objections to Zhu Youcong's plan to attack Annan. Annan had been set up there as early as the first year of Tang Diaolu If it weren't for the appearance of Liu Daxia's prodigal son, the Duhu Mansion, this place would still belong to the Ming Dynasty.
According to Ma Wannian's report, his bayonet team has already reached the Yi'an area. Since it is already in such chaos, let's just regain their homeland. Anyway, these two places have already reached an agreement with the Western allies. It belongs to the Ming Dynasty, so they probably won't mind.
"They haven't offended me, so I can't beat them up?" In this era of Fa Tian, since everyone relies on robbery to make a fortune, then grab the best if possible, and try to avoid causing evil in the West if possible. Wolf's attention. "Madam, you have to change your concept. Look at those Western allies. Aren't they wandering all the way around?"
"But..." If Zhu Youcong planned to take advantage of Tianzhu now, Zhang Yan would not have such a strong reaction. But this militaristic young husband chose to conquer another place personally. You know where it can be Separated by more than 20,000 sea routes, this little fat guy still gets seasick to this day.
"It's settled! When the new warship is built, I will take you sisters to the sea to count the stars!" Although the British have already boarded there, they just treat it as a place of exile and have not yet discovered what is hidden there. Huge mineral resources. And Zhu Youcong believed that the evil people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could help him convince this Western ally before going on the expedition.
"Go to the sea and count the stars? Okay, okay!" Ning Meng, who was going to get the ginseng soup, appeared at the door with excitement on her face. This jealous little girl who only had three days of enthusiasm for work really has no interest in fighting. Her biggest hobby is sticking.
She was beside the chubby Zhu Youcong. The air combat experience she had pondered on the island had long been thrown to the staff committee in charge of Mao Wenlong.
"It's easy to look at the stars! I remember someone provoked me this morning..." Zhu Youcong felt relaxed after making the decision. He stared at his two troublemakers with a wicked smile. "Since the emperor brother has already
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, should we..."
"Don't..." Two screams came out at the same time from the door that had just been opened. The shadow guards hiding in various corners moved their positions very wisely. They had long been concerned about General Zhenguo's immoral behavior.
I'm used to it. What I need to take care of now is not to let anyone disturb the little fat man.
Perhaps it was Zhu Youcong's absurd behavior that angered the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, or perhaps Zhang Tianlin's curse had an effect. At least there was a lack of telepathy between Chongzhen and this shameful fat man. Just when Zhu Youcong bullied his wife
At the same time, the deception meeting in Jinshen Palace is still going on. But this time there are more people.
The person they want to trick is General Zhenguo of the Ming Dynasty. Although the traitors in the court have no psychological barriers to doing this kind of thing, they must consider the reactions of all parties. If they don't play well, even if they force the damn fat man
Now that we have taken action, what if he finds another excuse to hide?
Therefore, the first thing to consider is the attitude of the military. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's frontiers have been relatively stable in recent years. Chongzhen has recruited all the commanders of the major legions back for the New Year. It is also very convenient to find out some information. However, let everyone
What none of the civil servants expected was that the persuasion of the generals went surprisingly smoothly this time.
Lu Xiangsheng was very unhappy. After all, he was the first general who followed Zhu Youcong, and now he commands the Central Group Army, the most elite group of the Ming Empire. But that damn fat man went to the Japanese island for more than a year this time.
Not only did he not let him play with him, but he lured Lu Shanji away to form a force affiliated with the navy.
Sun Chengzong and Zhang Polu were also full of resentment. When they regained Liaodong, let alone the fat man who tricked them into doing dirty work. After the Liaodong campaign, they were kicked to defend the border.
But the two major corps on the Western Front and the Eastern Front, even excluding the Mongolian Cavalry Regiment, still have 850,000 regular troops. The damn fat man only sent 170,000 new recruits to the Japanese island, which made all the people on the training ground touch
How can these old youtiaos feel so embarrassed when they are rolling around and howling with pain? If it weren't for the strict military discipline in the New Army, they would have been scolded by those veteran scoundrels who had made great military exploits when cleaning up the Tatars and climbed to the Chengtian Gate.
sieve.
The most angry among the generals was the old woman Qin Liangyu. In any case, Lu Xiangsheng could still intimidate the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, bully the vassals everywhere under the emperor's arrangement, and set up two cannons at other people's doors to let those
The princes who were reluctant to leave home obeyed the imperial edict and returned to the capital in good order. Sun Chengzong and Zhang Polu could even conduct some subversive exercises from time to time to vent their anger on the Tatar tribe. Only her Southern Corps
Apart from training all day long, I couldn't find anything to do.
Want to help the emperor deal with the vassal kings? But there was only one Shu king in the southwest area that Qin Liangyu was responsible for, and that guy was unlucky enough to be beaten every day by Du Yinxi, who was in charge of Sichuan at the time. As soon as the emperor's edict arrived this time, he
Relieved, she moved her family back to Nanjing. She joined the royal caravan, and it was not her turn to show off her force.
She and Du Yinxi yyyng just wander around and educate the chieftains when they have nothing to do? Well, this job is not bad. Anyway, she has handed over the position of chieftain of Shizhu to her husband's family and can't bully her. But what are the governors of Sichuan and Guizhou doing?
Lively? After she was ordered out of Sichuan by General Zhenguo, she relied on the five battalions of new soldiers under Du Yinxi to completely quell the Yi chieftain She Chongming. The rebellion of Anbangyan can be ignored, but the slaughter of these two scourges nearly ten people in the entire clan.
Why can't she wait until the main force of her Sichuan army returns to do the good deeds of thousands of people? Look at how frightened those chieftains are by them. Each one of them is more like a turtle than a turtle. Let alone mobilizing the army now. Even if she is in Chongqing
A cough can scare the toast in Yunnan for three days.
What Qin Liangyu couldn't accept the most was that she was responsible for the flank battlefield during the Liaodong campaign. After returning to Sichuan, her precious grandson went to Annan to fool around, but she had to stay at home and take care of herself. She finally waited until the Sichuan Army recruits were dispatched to Japan.
Island, but the two treasures, He Renlong and Zheng Chongjian, are in charge of leading the army. Doesn’t General Zhenguo know that she will be sixty after this year? She is really an old woman, and she can’t be beaten.
The military's complaints about Zhu Youcong's actions were not limited to the generals of the four major armies who had been suppressed in the country. Even Li Zicheng and others who had just returned from the Japanese island thought that what the little fat man did was very unethical. Of course,
This has nothing to do with Zhu Youcong reselling weapons to them at high prices. The money is taken and spent. But what's the point of taking a year off and letting the generals at all levels of the overseas legions write down their experiences in this conquest of Japan?
They are all bandits, organized and disciplined? That’s right! Let the bandits write books? Then why do you need those literati? If you have time to do this, you might as well let them out and continue robbing.
Since General Zhenguo talked like this, he should know that although the soldiers loved him, they would never mind making some pranks to trouble this fat man during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, when the civil servants made this suggestion.
The two sides hit it off immediately.[
"Your Majesty, what do you think the evildoers are most afraid of?" Han Xu thought about it again and again, and finally came up with a solution once and for all.
What is that damn fat man afraid of? Afraid of death? This is what everyone is afraid of. But he and the emperor are guarded by the most elite shadow guards. If he wants to threaten his life, it will be harder than reaching the sky. Besides, there are so many things waiting for him.
They asked him to do it, but no one was willing to let him hide and enjoy the peace and quiet now. Afraid of being scolded? That shameless fat guy would mind what others say about him? Afraid of his wife? That fat guy is not
He is afraid of his wife, but he is reluctant to let the two troublemakers suffer any injustice. Once he determines that it will not hurt the Zhang Yan sisters, it is useless to persuade him. Afraid of his father? Although no one knows this fat man
When he was eight years old, he dared to trick his fat father into buying Lu Xiangsheng, but King Fu's love for the fat man was well known to everyone. Even if King Fu was persuaded to help, the little fat man might still run away.
"Han Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."
The treacherous Han Thief smiled and said: "People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong! Isn't it because the villain has stayed there since he pacified the Japanese island this time because he is afraid of being famous?"
"Reputation? Yes, how could I have forgotten it?" Chongzhen also suddenly realized, patting his forehead and said: "Congdi's many excuses are just to cover up his fear of establishing too high a prestige, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty will never forget that there is someone behind them.
General Zhenguo supports them."
"So, Wei Chen suggested that he should be given more responsibilities, and the title of General Zhenguo should be changed from a virtual title to a real job..." As for how much power he should have, that is a matter decided by the emperor, and Han Ke did not dare to say any more.
"This is a good idea! Didn't I give him the right to conquer foreign countries when he was crowned?" Without the slightest hesitation, Chongzhen could finally justifiably put the hat on Zhu Youcong's head. "Just do it.
Leave it to him to do all the things that the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses should do." Feeling that this was not good enough, Chongzhen quickly added: "In the future, all matters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also be handed over to him, so that others will not be deceived.
Curse me!"
"My emperor is wise!" Didn't that damn fat guy always say that with great power comes greater responsibility? With such a big hat on his head, no matter whether it is an enemy or an ally, if you want to be scolded after being beaten, you must scold him first. As for that
No one is worried about whether Zhu Youcong will rebel. Although except for Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan who heard a few words, no one else knows that Chongzhen once wanted to give the Zen throne to that damn fat man, but if he wants to rebel, even if he doesn't have this name
The head has been made long ago. Why wait until now or in the future? Why bother to eliminate your own influence?
"But after turning this general who governs the country into a real job, won't Brother Cong lose his title? Otherwise, I can make Brother Cong a king?" Chongzhen had wanted to do this for a long time, but he was always rejected by Zhu Youcong.
.
"My Holy Emperor!" All the ministers had long thought that Zhu Youcong should have been crowned a king for his merits. Anyway, it wouldn't cost much money. Since that damn fat man is afraid of being famous, then give him more hats to wear.
With.
"My dear friends, do you have any suggestions on this title?" It would have been a great thing to break the earth and become the king, but Chongzhen had to do it behind the scenes, otherwise the damn fat man would definitely be very embarrassed when he got wind of it.
reject him.
Yes, what kind of title should I give? The kings of the Ming Dynasty are basically named after their fiefdoms. But this principle will definitely not work on Zhu Youcong's head. It seems stingy and it is easy for the damn fat man to find an excuse to kill himself.
Hidden away from worldly affairs.
"Uncle Emperor, why don't you give me an idea?" Since we want to trick Zhu Youcong, we have to consider the feelings of the royal family members. Those who were forced to go to Beijing to celebrate the New Year by the emperor don't care, but since King Fu
You should listen to his opinions if you are there.
In fact, Chongzhen had no other purpose in calling Prince Fu, it was mainly for precaution. If even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't think of a way to trick the fat man, then he would have no choice but to kidnap his father and use it as a blackmail.
"I invite you to remove the title, and Cong'er will take over!" King Fu thought for a long time and could not make up his mind, but he had already got the news. At this year's great meeting, the emperor will announce that in the future, no one who has not expanded the territory thousands of miles will be granted the title of king. Now that there is
With such a good opportunity, one should seize it and allow his legitimate younger son to inherit his throne.
"Brother Cong, will you succeed the King of Fortune?" Chongzhen didn't mind what the title was, as long as the title could be pinned on that damn fat man. "My dear friends, what do you think?"
"This is a wonderful move by Your Majesty!" According to the new regulations that are about to be promulgated, Zhu Youcong is also eligible to be crowned king, and allowing him to inherit the title of Prince Fu can minimize his resistance. "But in this way, the Prince will be wronged.
Already..."
"Why not!" The prince's title is very important, but whether to confer it or not is not a matter of Chongzhen's decision? "The emperor knows the general idea. How about changing the title to King Qi first?"
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" I lost my title as Prince Fu, but gained the title of Prince Qi? Two princes and three county princes from the same family are all in charge of this real power? This deal is really a good deal.
"But..." Gu Xichou is a person who knows Zhu Youcong's temperament very well. He knows very well that there is nothing in this world that the fat man dare not do. Even though everyone is discussing it very lively now, when it comes to the specific implementation, he really says
Something might go wrong. "What if the general refuses?"
"Refuse?" Chongzhen said with a thief smile: "No matter how shameful he is, he will not refuse my reward in front of hundreds of officials and envoys from all over the world during the great dynasty meeting, right?"
"My Emperor's Holy Ming! Damn it! This foolish king is really a loss. Since that damn fat man wants to maintain the dignity of the royal family, he must be dumb and swallow this bitter pill. How can he continue to stay at home and not come out to do anything?"
"Your Majesty, General Zhu Youcong sent a memorial..." Wang Chengen suddenly walked in. Seeing the faces with evil smiles in the Jinshen Hall, he really thought he had accidentally entered a bandit's den.
"Brother Cong's memorial?" Chongzhen's smile froze instantly. Could it be that the damn fat man got some advice from an immortal again and actually ran away before he knew it? "Quick! Quick! Submit it!"
"Hahahaha..." Under the eager gaze of the ministers, Chongzhen, who had just read the beginning, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty?" What happened? Could it be that the fat guy really ran away? The emperor was so angry that he laughed?
"Come on, Lu Aiqing! Read it to everyone!"
"Combat arrangements?" Lu Xiangsheng rubbed his eyes hard and looked again and again, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this..."
"Haha! You didn't expect it, did you?" Chongzhen raised his head proudly, "Did you see it? This is the combat plan for the next five years! I just said that my brother Cong has always been caring about the country, but you don't believe it. You insist.
Said he was lazy at home!"
This foolish king! Who said that nonsense in the first place? If you hadn't been the one to instigate it, who would have dared to gather here and think of ways to trick that damn fat man? Lu Xiangsheng, who had already been betrayed once by the late emperor, lamented in his heart, and he had even
Imagine what will happen to you after being framed by the current emperor.
"Your Majesty, what about the title of king?" It's over now. All civil and military officials in the dynasty have mistakenly blamed that little fat man. What if he finds out? Han Ke didn't dare to interfere with the military arrangements. He was just wondering, if the emperor
If you don't want to take the blame, turn yourself in as soon as possible. In any case, the little fat guy must be lenient for the sake of the relationship between master and disciple.
"Everything is going according to plan!" With or without this memorial, the damn fat man would have to stand at the front desk, but Chongzhen thought that since he was so sensible, not continuing to take revenge would also appear to be too stupid for him as an emperor. (To be completed.)
