Chengtianmen.
There are two large flags fluttering in the wind, full of solemn atmosphere.
On the city tower, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Shen Yongmao, Lu Xiangsheng and others stood and watched below.
The east and west gates of Chang'an were open, but the farther ones were blocked, and the figures under the Chengtian Gate were in a hurry, running around and shouting.
Shen Yongmao held the binoculars in his hand and said to Sun Chengzong and others, "Because it is the first time to perform martial arts like this, it is a little messy, they are still organizing, and the order is ......."
In Sun Chengzong's hand was a 'Great Martial Arts Manual', which was discussed by the celebrant supervisor, the cabinet, the military department and other departments.
He looked down, nodded slightly, and said: "There are two days left before the New Year, the training here can't be stopped, this martial arts exercise is very important to my Daming, there must be no mistakes!"
” Sun Chuanting and the others nodded, this big military exercise is to boost morale internally, and to show off their military power externally, to warn those 'potential enemies' who are about to move, to make them quiet, and to make time for Daming to fix internal affairs.
Not long after, dull drums sounded on both sides of the Chengtian Gate, followed by a flag-raising ceremony.
As soon as the flag-raising ceremony ended, after a dull drum sound, a team of shield soldiers appeared from the west gate of Chang'an, wearing heavy armor, wearing steel helmets, holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, appearing calmly and powerfully.
Then came a procession of about six hundred men, dressed in silver armor, with swords at their waists, and spears in their hands, as if they were stamping their feet, slowly but forcefully moving from west to east.
This group was followed by infantry, then archers, then arrows, then cavalry, engineers, artillery, etc.
Almost all branches of the Ming Dynasty can be seen here.
They are all elite, with strict steps, solemn expressions, and strict military regulations in every move, without any chaos.
This is just a simple drill, and after a few days, people on the city tower have been looking at each other, and they don't know what to say.
After a while, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Although there is nothing wrong with the military appearance, the lower officials always feel that there is something wrong......
Sun Chuanting also nodded, his eyes were still looking down, and said: "It's too complicated, not only does it not show its might, but it is a little different from ......."
Shen Yongmao and Sun Chengzong also agreed, watching the last artillery enter the east gate of Chang'an, Sun Chengzong groaned, and said: "In this way, all of them will be changed to infantry, and some cannons and muskets will be displayed in order to show some cannons and muskets."
Before the big martial arts, we asked the emperor to take hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries to the Jingdong camp in the east of the city to show the power of artillery, only artillery, simple and direct!
” Shen Yongmao took over the conversation and said, "Xia Guan agrees."
I want to be powerful, or is it more deterrent to real artillery. ” Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and said, "Xia Guan also agrees, if the artillery fire is powerful enough, Chengtianmen will go here again, but it will be more popular, so that Xiaoxiao will not dare to act rashly!"
” Sun Chuanting said: "It's okay."
Then I will enter the palace and advise the emperor later, mobilize more artillery, arrows, and heavy cavalry, and show the strongest military strength of my Ming Dynasty in a short time!
” "Jingdong camp is basically empty," Sun Chengzong said: "When the time comes, it will be open to the people and allowed to enter and watch, we will let everyone see, my Ming army has been reborn and is the strongest army in the world!"
” The other three all nodded in agreement.
Sun Chengzong saw that a few people had no opinions, so he said, "The heavy armored cavalry taught by Zhao Shuo, the light cavalry of Mangui, and the artillery are personally commanded by Cao Wenzhao, and they will be transferred to the Jingdong camp overnight, and the training will start tomorrow, first use duds, don't alarm the people." ” "Yes."
Shen responded with a voice and prepared to give orders.
As soon as he left, Sun Chengzong looked at him again and said, "Governors of various places, when will the chief soldier arrive?"
” Shen Yongmao said: "The emperor's wedding is scheduled for the ninth day of the second lunar month, and they should arrive before the sixth day of the lunar month." ” Sun Chengzong looked at the direction of Daming Gate and thought: "It's okay, the new military system, military ranks, military ranks, etc. have been clearly determined, and there is still plenty of time before the big court meeting, so we must be careful." ” Sun Chengzong's 'intentions' all those present understood that the Qianqing Palace had been vague about the 'military reform' they were brewing, and obviously there were still many dissatisfactions, and they had to insist on it, and they could not let the Qianqing Palace continue to follow the reform of the sword - it was not conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty and would be unified for 10,000 years!
"You mean, just going through the motions?"
Zhu Xu of Qianqing Palace got the news before he left, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Cao Huachun stood behind him and said, "Yes, it's over in a hurry, and it seems that I want to change it again." ” Zhu Xu sat on the soft floor and looked at the notebook, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, continue to stare at it." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu continued to look at the notebook, his expression quite relaxed.
Regardless of whether the cabinet satisfies him or not, after all, he shares a lot of his affairs and pressures, and he does not need to do everything himself and work hard.
The notebook in his hand is from the Ministry of Industry, and it is the plan of the Ministry of Industry for next year, with the vote of the cabinet.
The Ministry of Industry was ambitious before, planning to build roads across the country, through major cities, this is a rather huge project, in the past it was a waste of labor and money, and now it is 'work for relief', which has indeed played a very good role, and has immeasurable benefits to all aspects of the Ming Dynasty and the future.
The Ministry of Industry stated in the notebook that it would continue to spend more than 7 million taels of silver a year, not counting the rest of the rice, which was a great burden on the current state treasury.
But this plan has been going on for four or five years, and a lot of work is already halfway through, or even almost complete, so naturally it cannot be stopped, even if it grits its teeth, it must continue to invest.
The Ministry of Works scaled back the plan and removed some of the works, but retained a huge plan – two major arteries.
Attempt to establish two of the widest official roads, one leading to Gan.
Suzhen, a coastal until Kun.
Bright.
As for the plan to connect the cities, it can only be put aside for the time being.
Zhu Xu looked at it slowly, scrutinizing.

Now the number of refugees gathered by building bridges and paving roads is as high as 3 million, all over the north, south and east of the Ming Dynasty, if the plan of the Ministry of Industry is terminated, what will happen to these 3 million people?
After thinking for a while, he turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Did the cabinet mention that after the completion of the Ministry of Industry's plan, how will these farmers be resettled?"
” Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "The slave maid has seen the brief cabinet meeting, and these farmers are all locally summoned, which probably means dismissal on the spot. ” Zhu Xu frowned slightly, these people were originally disaster victims, and the disaster situation is getting worse, what's the point of putting them back?
After thinking for a while, he said, "Send a message to the cabinet, before the project of the Ministry of Industry is completed, these people will arrange to go to Liaodong or Bei'an Nan to reclaim wasteland, and they can't be saved." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said.
Just about to leave, Cao Huachun suddenly said again: "Princess Ping went to see the old lady yesterday and talked for a while. ” Zhu Xu 'um' sounded, and just about to turn over the book, he raised his head again and said, "Is there something wrong?"
” Cao Huachun hesitated a little and said, "Wang Yuyang was in Liumen before, and later merged into the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Governor's Yuan, but he was excluded and resigned and returned to the Criminal Prison Department of Shuntian Mansion. ” Zhu Xu looked at Cao Huachun and said with a smile, "Which big man did you provoke?"
” Cao Huachun said: "In the corruption case in Wanxian County, she may think that Cao Dingjiao was involved in the case, and tracked Cao Dingjiao, collected evidence, and caused some conflicts. ” After hearing this, Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "How can the Cao family be messed with......
After all, I helped me, so let's do the Anti-Corruption Bureau leave a place for her, by the way, when will Gong Dingyu arrive in Beijing?
” "Yes.
It has been notified in advance, but it will not arrive until the new year.
Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Go to the Imperial Dining Room again, check it out, get ready, and don't make mistakes. ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun bowed and quietly retreated.
Zhu Xu opened his eyes, exhaled, picked up the notebook in his hand, and continued to watch.
This year's events are basically over, and all that's left is a messy finish.
"Uncle Huang."
Zhu Xu didn't read a few words, Xiao Yongning came in from outside with a sad expression, and walked directly to Zhu Xu's table, his little head resting on the table, his mouth was deflated, listless, as if he had received a big blow.
"Xiangjun has seen the emperor."
Li Xiangjun was very polite and saluted Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu put down the notebook, looked at Yongning and smiled: "What's wrong?"
The imperial sister-in-law punished you again?
” The little girl raised her eyes, said with a sullen 'um', and said, "The Queen Mother makes people become female celebrities, and people can't hold the needle." ” Zhu Xu laughed and said, "By the way, what about your little red?"
"Xiaohong is a little red horse, Zhu Xu gave it to the little guy, plus a pair of red armor and a red tassel gun.
"It was hidden by the Queen Mother."
As she spoke, the little girl climbed up to the soft collapse and sat opposite Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu beckoned and said to an inner supervisor, "Bring a charcoal stove over, a kettle, and a snack." ” "Yes."
The inner supervisor answered and hurried out.
The little guy sat opposite Zhu Xu, looked at the table full of playbooks, glanced at his mouth, his eyes turned around, and suddenly saw two boxes on Zhu Xu's side, and his eyes lit up and flew over.
Zhu Xu shook the table, hurriedly held it down, and said, "Be careful." ” The little girl hugged the box, broke it open, and suddenly her eyes lit up, holding two necklaces in her little hands, which looked quite delicate and unusual.
At the moment when the little girl was about to carry it in her arms, Zhu Xu said, "Let me go, I want to give it away." ” The little girl looked up at Zhu Xu, and then glanced at the inner prison not far away, the palace maid, estimated that she couldn't run out, she pursed her mouth a little reluctantly, and reluctantly put the chain back.
The little girl looked at the two boxes, then looked up at Zhu Xu, her eyes widened, and said, "Uncle Huang, are you going to give it to your aunt?"
” Zhu Xu picked up the notebook again and said slowly: "Hmm." ” The little girl's eyes rolled slightly, and she said, "Then, at the New Year's banquet, will the little aunt come?"
” Zhu Xu said: "No, avoid suspicion." ” "Oh."
The little girl nodded solemnly, her eyes shining.
Zhu Xu looked at Xiao Yongning's expression, and always felt that this girl had bad intentions, so she got up and put on her shoes, held her ears, and pulled her down to the soft ground.
"Put on your shoes and go, I don't have time to play with you, go back to your palace."
Zhu Xu said.
The little girl refused to leave, and said, "Uncle Huang, people don't bother you, just sit for a while......"
"There's no place for you to sit, hurry up, I still have something to do."
Zhu Xu waved his hand with disgust.
Xiao Yongning's little face was indignant and he didn't want to leave, but as soon as he saw the two boxes, his eyes narrowed, and he was driven out by Zhu Xu with a reluctant look.
Zhu Xu drove away the little girl, continued to sit on the soft collapse, and looked at the notebook.
After a while, Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao came.

"You're saying you want to change the way you use martial arts?"
Zhu Xu sat on the soft collapse and looked at the two of them.
Shen Yongmao said: "Yes."
Cannons, arrows, and muskets can't intuitively see the power, and the ministers and others discussed, and conducted martial arts exercises at the Jingdong camp to show the world. ” Zhu Xu looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile, and said, "Your idea is very good, you can arrange it." ” Seeing Zhu Xu nodding, Shen Yongmao felt a lot relieved, and said: "Yes, the ministers will arrange it as soon as possible and conduct a drill, and there will be no problems before the big martial arts." ” Zhu Xu still held the notebook in his hand and said, "Well, we have to hurry, let's just lose ourselves and forget it, we can't throw it outside."
On the Jingdong camp, I asked Jin Guoqi to assist. ” Shen Yongmao hurriedly thanked him, and seeing that Zhu Xu was in a good mood, he said, "Your Majesty, the 'military reform' has been roughly completed, and the ministers have already prepared a script, does the emperor want to see it?"
” Zhu Xu waved the notebook in his hand, thought for a moment and said: "You continue to improve this matter, and when the general troops from all over the country enter Beijing, you will discuss it carefully, and you can't do it behind closed doors." ” Seeing that Zhu Xu still refused to nod, Shen Yongmao felt a little uneasy in his heart, and turned his head to look at Sun Chuanting.
Although Sun Chuanting did not participate in the 'military reform', he also knew that Sun Chengzong had added a lot of selfishness to it, and the army, departments, etc. restricted, balanced, and even weakened each other, and such a reform was obviously not in line with the emperor's mind.
Sun Chuanting didn't care about Shen Yongmao's gaze, raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, the government affairs of the cabinet have been stepped up, and the annual leave is not off, striving to finish this year's affairs before the opening of the dynasty, I don't know if the emperor has any other instructions?"
” Zhu Xu glanced at him, leaned on the soft collapse, slapped his knees with a notebook, and said: "In the past, many policies, bans, etc. were superficial, and the imperial court's control over the local area was also very weak.
Now that the first floor of the local governor has been basically erected, in the future, when promoting the 'New Deal', we must also strengthen various government affairs and the implementation of the law......
The Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple, and the Criminal and Prison Department must be moved, and they cannot be furnished, and the 22nd Patrol Imperial History must also be prepared, and the training must be strict, not to go to the mountains and rivers, write poems and lyrics, and linger in the Qinglou Hook Fence......"
Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao could both hear that the young emperor in front of him had a deep distrust of the civil officials of the foreign court, and they looked at each other quietly, and they all secretly twisted their eyebrows. - This is not a good sign.
Zhu Xu stopped, glanced at Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao, and said, "That's it, you know in your hearts, don't slack off, there will be more things in the future." ” "Obey."
Sun Chuanting and Shen Yongmao said, both of them feeling the heavy pressure on their shoulders.
Zhu Xu casually took the notebook and flipped it up, next year he can leisurely hold the whip, whip the six cabinet departments, sink the matter step by step, and solve it with heart and force.
"Your Majesty, the shipyard has sent a message that it has been tried at sea once, and there is basically no problem, and you can try again in three days."
Cao Huachun walked in quickly.
Zhu Xu has always kept this matter in mind, thought about it and said, "It's too late, let's wait for the third time."
Is the menu ready?
” Cao Huachun hurriedly took a list from the desk behind him, handed it to Zhu Xu and said: "According to the meaning of the change, there are a total of eighty-one dishes, all of which are famous dishes from all over my Ming Dynasty, and the chef has invited them into the palace from all over the world, and the ingredients are ready." ” Zhu Xu looked at the menu, the names were poetic and picturesque, full of meaning, just looking at the names, Zhu Xu didn't know what it was.
Speaking of which, Zhu Xu, the emperor, is also poignant, I really haven't eaten much to worry about, at least I haven't heard of most of these on the menu.
After reading it, Zhu Xu said, "The amount of wine and dishes should be small, but they should be exquisite, and the New Year's banquet should be an atmosphere, not to eat wine and eat, just watch the song and dance, chat, and narrate." ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said. —— The Ming people don't care much about the New Year, but they don't care, the first month is the New Year, not to mention the most lively Lantern Festival of the year.
A year of disturbances, at this point, in the eyes of many people, can be regarded as an end, an end, and a new beginning.
