Chapter 1539 - Always Alive


In the eleventh year of Jingzheng, before the Lantern Festival, the noble concubine Xingzi of Yonghe Palace brought a team of nearly 10,000 people, and took the emperor's five sons out of Beijing and went to Suihai Province, that is, the Wa Kingdom.

This matter, for the Ming Dynasty, was naturally the task of 'education', and the imperial court sent a very large group of envoys from top to bottom, almost all-encompassing.

The mighty procession boarded the ship at Tientsin, escorted by the navy, and headed for Edo.

The former emperor returned with the 'prince', which naturally had a different meaning for the whole of the Japanese country.

For ordinary people and low-level samurai, they did not identify with the Ming Dynasty, especially those who did not stop in rebellion, but for the former emperor, it must be different.

It is foreseeable that the chaos in the Wa Kingdom will be calm for a while.

The same was true for Tokugawa Akihide, Masahito, Matsudaira Nobutsuna, Date Masamune, and others, who, as the ruling class of the Wa Kingdom, naturally also wanted stability, and organized a huge welcome ceremony for the return of Koko.

The people brought by Xingzi naturally have a detailed plan, which has played an unimaginable role in the development of the entire Suihai Province.

When Xingzi returned to the Wa Kingdom, Dolgon finally arrived in the capital.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Xu is playing Tai Chi in the courtyard, his movements are leisurely, skillful, and his walking is like flowing water.

After more than half a month of recuperation, Zhu Xu's body has recovered greatly, and his whole expression is also ruddy and spiritual.

Zhu Ciye and a few little guys also followed him, learning from each other, playing slowly and leisurely.

However, they are all nondescript, only Zhu Cixuan is presentable, without a trace of jerkiness.

Zhu Xu looked back with bright wings, and said with a smile, "This Tai Chi, I practiced it when I was seven years old, and I was still in Jinghuan Palace, and Deputy Marshal Cao taught me." ” A few little guys glanced at Cao Wenzhao standing not far away, and continued to tremble.

Cao Wenzhao took two steps forward and said with a smile: "This is the blessing of the minister." ” Cao Wenzhao has followed Zhu Xu for the longest time, and the things in Jinghuan Palace are still vivid, but it has been more than 20 years in a blink of an eye.

This is indeed a great blessing for Cao Wenzhao.

When he saw the Qianqing Palace, he was recruited into Jinghuan Palace by His Royal Highness King Hui, who was still in the palace, and became a big housekeeper.

He has jumped from a small Liaodong general to a big and obviously noble.

Now, the Cao family has become the first family of the Ming Dynasty, and the Cao family is all prominent and incomparable!

Who has this blessing?

Zhu Xu only smiled at Cao Wenzhao's words, and said, "Say, why are you here today?"

” Zhu Xu really didn't pay much attention to the outside for a while, and he really didn't know why Cao Wenzhao came.

Cao Wenzhao took another step forward, his expression was solemn, and said: "Your Majesty, Burma and Siam are a little unstable, Lu Xiangsheng has written a letter, please allow them to carry out a limited attack on the two countries, warn them, and ensure the stability of the border." ” Zhu Xu put away the gesture and said, "Quasi-play." ” Cao Wenzhao said, "Yes."

The second thing is that Marshal Qin is preparing to deepen the reform of the military system, promoting the assessment, rotation and replacement of generals at all levels. ” Assessment, rotation is a regulation, needless to say, the most important thing is the 'replacement' behind.

On the side of the civil service, the political department has basically replaced the county level, and with the continuous graduation of students, the county officials, the main bookkeeper, and the warden will be replaced, and then from top to bottom, the 'purification' of the government will be completed.

Now, it's the turn of the army.

The Royal Military Academy has also produced many officers over the years, but the number is still small compared to the expanding imperial examinations and the huge political departments and reformed universities.

In addition, most of the officers who came out of the Royal Military Academy are in the Royal Legion, that is, under Cao Wenzhao, if there is a 'replacement', that is to say, Cao Wenzhao's people will be sprinkled all over the Ming army, and it is likely to have an extremely terrifying influence in the entire army system in the future!

This is also the reason why Cao Wenzhao came to report, not Qin Liangyu.

Zhu Xu put away his hand, took the towel, wiped his neck, looked at a few little guys to accept it, raised his hand and said, "You fight a few more times, Xie Yu, and stare at them." ” Li Xie Yu smiled, responded, and walked over to tell a few little guys to continue practicing.

Cao Wenzhao bowed and accompanied Zhu Xu.

He naturally said this taboo, looked at Zhu Xu's side face with an undiminished smile, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has discussed with Marshal Qin, and the royal legionaries can get rid of it, or they can start to split it up and establish two or three legions." ” Cao Wenzhao took the initiative to cut power, so as not to arouse Zhu Xu's suspicion.

Zhu Xu walked under the eaves, sat on a chair, and said, "Sit down and say." ” Cao Wenzhao sat down and continued, "The reform of the army is a national policy, and the minister does not dare to slack off, and has written some plans and submitted them to the celebrant supervisor, and the minister specially came to ask for instructions, and went back to make revisions." ” Zhu Xu put down the towel, took the tea on the small table, and said, "I have unreserved trust in you and Marshal Qin.

I've read your plan, and there's nothing wrong with it.

There is no need to worry about anything, you can reform how you want, follow the established plan, and you don't have to worry about me or the voice of the cabinet......"

It has always been a tradition for civilian officials to manage the army, and although the reform of the army is led by Zhu Xu, the cabinet is not without a say.

With such a reform, many people are jealous of Cao Wenzhao.

Qin Liangyu is more than seventy, Cao Wenzhao is more than fifty, maybe it will not take two years for Cao Wenzhao to succeed him as the marshal of the Marshal's Mansion, and at that time, the whole army in the world will be his people, what a terrifying and unprecedented thing!

Although Zhu Xu said this, Cao Wenzhao did not dare to agree, and all plans should naturally be cautious, not only to complete the established reform plan, but also not to arouse Zhu Xu's suspicion.

Cao Wenzhao was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, Dolgon has arrived in Beijing and wants to ask to see the emperor." ” Zhu Xu naturally knew it for a long time, and said, "Well, take him into the palace." ” Cao Wenzhao hesitated for a moment, and said, "Dolgon went out of Tianjin Wei and used the means of stealing beams and replacing pillars, and when the carriage arrived in the capital, the people were gone, and the military intelligence department was still looking for them." ” Zhu Xu was stunned, he really didn't know this, Dolgon actually hid it from Jinyiwei?

Zhu Xu was not much shocked, but said with a smile, "It's a little interesting, it seems that this Dorgon wants to do something before he dies." ” Cao Wenzhao looked vigilant and said, "Yes, the minister is also worried."

The minister has ordered the military intelligence department to use all means to find out the person. ” Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "No need to look for it, if Dolgon doesn't have the means to hide it, it will be too much for me to underestimate and let him say the place." ” Cao Wenzhao's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Zhu Xu raised his hand, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said coldly, "I have my own plans." ” Cao Wenzhao was still worried, but he didn't dare to argue, and said, "Yes, the minister will arrange it." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand and picked up the teacup again.

Three days later, White Horse Temple.

The place had long since been emptied, and Dolgon knelt on a futon, facing the Buddha statue, clasped his hands together, and chanted a word.

Footsteps sounded, and a person stepped in, sat directly on the threshold, and said with a smile, "A butcher, actually believe in Buddhism?"

” Dolgon didn't look back, and said, "How dare you come alone?"

” As soon as his voice fell, seven or eight people poured out of the door, surrounding the threshold, long knives sharp and sharp.

"I heard that once people are helpless, they will turn to ghosts and gods for peace of mind, have you been here for more than ten days, are you at ease?"

The person on the threshold calmly did not move, and said with a smile.

Dolgon slowly got up, but instead of getting up, he turned around and sat down on the futon, looking at the man sitting on the threshold.

His back to the sun, his face was invisible, but he still gave people a very confident and calm feeling.

Dolgon said: "It is worthy of the Ming Emperor, before he dies, can you answer me three questions?"

” "Say."

The man on the threshold took out a jug of wine from his bosom and drank it casually.

His action made Dolgon's people look so shocked that they couldn't help but slash, and finally the knife was on his neck.

Dolgon's expression did not move, staring at the person on the threshold, and said, "First, I admit that you are majestic and rare, but there are some things that still cannot be explained, and I want to know why." ” Indeed, some things are too coincidental, and the coincidence seems to have been arranged by Zhu Xu, and the arrangement is exactly the same!

The person on the threshold nodded slightly, and said, "You are the first person to ask me this question, but I will not answer you, even if you are a dead person, this is my biggest secret." ” Dolgon's expression was indifferent, he was silent for a while, and said, "Second, Mongolia is your Ming Dynasty's feud and biggest enemy, why do I feel that you have the deepest hatred for my Jurchen?"

” Dolgon's words are extremely reasonable, the Ming Dynasty was taken from the Mongols, and for more than two hundred years, the war with the Mongols has hardly stopped.

The man on the threshold sighed and said, "That's a good question, but I still won't answer you." ” There was a hint of anger on Dolgon's face, and he said, "Third, why, I feel that you look at me differently, I have been as low-key as possible, big brother, Mandahai, and even Duoduo are better than me, why do you keep looking at me?"

” This is true, no matter when, Dolgon has not shown special ability, if you want to say special, it is probably that he has controlled the remnants of the Jurchen army unreasonably over the years, and Dai Shan, who was the head of the four major Baylors, could not resist.

On the threshold, he drank again, and said, "I can answer you about this, because you are ruthless enough, I need a ruthless person to do a lot of things, my Ming people are too merciful after all, and there are some things that can only be done by you." ” Dorgon looked at the people on the threshold, his expression indifferent, and the frost in his eyes gradually condensed.

This person, how much he hates, he can't wash it away even if he pours out the water of the three rivers.

But right in front of him, he couldn't even hate it.

Dorgon had a thousand words, but he couldn't say anything at this time.

He looked at the person on the threshold, closed his eyes deeply, opened them suddenly, and said, "If I kill you, do you know what the consequences will be?"

” The man on the threshold shook his head and said, "I know better than you that what you want will not succeed."

The structural reform has been basically completed, and the cabinet can be strongly controlled and will not be divided.

The Generalissimo's Mansion is the person I trust the most, and they will support the crown prince to ascend the throne, the Ming Dynasty, there will be no chaos, not even chaos. ” Dolgon's face was indifferent, and he said, "You think too simply, can Sun Chuanting hold the cabinet?"

Which of those people in the cabinet is not suspicious?

If you die, won't they have civil strife?

“ The person on the threshold took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Don't use these pediatric agitation methods, you are here to ask for death, death is fast, what are you asking for?"

” Dorgon stared at the man on the threshold, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel the confidence in his bones.

This made him angry and said, "Cut off one of his hands." ” The person on the threshold grabbed the left hand of the person on the threshold violently, and one of his arms was cut off!

The people on the threshold twitched the corners of their faces, and the others barely reacted.

He even turned his head, looked at his bleeding left arm, took the wine jug in his right hand, took another sip, and sighed: "After all, there is this day." ” Dolgon looked at his expression, suddenly his eyes changed slightly, he stood up and said angrily, "You are not Jingzheng!"

” The man on the threshold shook his head and said, "It's just an arm, and you doubt my identity?"

Shouldn't I come?

Still afraid to come?

” Dorgon took a few steps and looked at the people on the threshold.

There was no pain on the man's face, and he didn't seem to care at all if he didn't care about the loss of his left hand.

It's not a matter of will!

Dolgon's face was indifferent, and he said, "I think highly of Jingzheng, he didn't dare to come!"

” The man on the threshold took a sip of wine and sighed, "Who do you think you are?"

Will it be worth the emperor to come to see you in person?

The reason why I came is nothing more than to determine your corpse with my own eyes. ” As he finished speaking, groups of MI soldiers rushed over, surrounded the temple, and headed straight for Dorgon.

Dolgon looked up at the sky, smiled bitterly, was silent for a long time, and sighed, "I thought that he would look down on me, and before he died, he would meet me, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't see me at all......

I am not willing to die, hate!

” The person on the threshold shook his head and said, "Our fate has long been doomed, and the struggle is in vain, don't struggle, let's go on the road together." ” Dolgon looked at this man, suddenly felt a little familiar, and said, "Who are you?"

” The person on the threshold still shook his head and said, "I know you still have a back hand, do it, if you don't do it, you won't have a chance." ” Dolgon looked out in a daze, his expression was like crying and laughing, and said, "It's been more than 20 years, I didn't expect it to be such a result......"

As his words fell, he took out a box from his bosom and threw it directly behind him.

The candles on the altar fell to the ground one after another, and with a pop, the flames quickly shifted and burned a large area.

The man on the threshold frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

” rumble Before he could finish speaking, a violent bàozhà sounded, and then the entire White Horse Temple exploded!

In a restaurant not far from the White Horse Temple, Zhu Xu looked at the sky-high flames and said, "Dolgon's backhand is really surprising to me." ” Opposite Zhu Xu sat Qin Liangyu, at this moment she looked indifferent, and her eyes were afraid.

It was Qin Liangyu who stopped Zhu Xu from going over and used a stand-in.

Qin Liangyu didn't pay attention to this matter, but said, "Your Majesty, over there in the Wa Kingdom, the minister plans to make some more arrangements, and Zuo Liangyu and the others can be transferred." ” Zuo Liangyu is the only general of the Ming faction in the Wa Kingdom, and he has a congenital background of 'Qin Mission', which makes him do a lot of dangerous things in the Wa Kingdom.

Zhu Xu nodded indifferently, and said, "Let Yang Sichang go, it is necessary to kill some people."

On the side of the Taizheng Yuan, I will also let the cabinet change, and it should be beaten, beaten hard. ” Qin Liangyu looked at the smoke billowing from the White Horse Temple, felt the constant earthquakes, and said, "Gushi Khan of Moxi Mongolia died of illness half a month ago, and the letter of the new Khan's request for canonization is already ......on the way."

Zhu Xu said, "Well, I already know, according to the law, this new khan can delay for me for another ten years, and in ten years, my army will set foot in Moxi in one fell swoop!"

” Qin Liangyu responded, looked at Zhu Xu, and said: "Your Majesty, the navy has submitted a plan to build more than thirty overseas bases or strongholds next year, and the minister intends to reject ......."

Zhu Xu was still thinking about Dolgon's life and death, and before he died, listening to Qin Liangyu's words, he interrupted violently, and said, "Why do you want to dismiss it?"

” Qin Liangyu said, "Last year, the navy has built more than 100 large and small bases, and the minister is worried that the navy will expand too fast, which will not be conducive to the development of the navy. ” Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said, "I am also worried, the scale of the navy is still limited, the main reason is that the profits obtained are not equal, and you can't become a fat man in one breath." ” Qin Liangyu saw Zhu Xu's gentle attitude and said, "Then, the minister dismissed it?"

” Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't dismiss it, so let's ask the navy to mark the place, what good things there are, how much potential there is, explain it clearly, take it out for auction, and sell it to domestic businessmen." ” Qin Liangyu was stunned, a little puzzled.

Zhu Xu didn't explain much, stood up and said, "It's almost done, let's go." ” Qin Liangyu glanced at the direction of the White Horse Temple again, and hurriedly followed Zhu Xu away.

Such a loud bàozhà sound naturally alarmed the patrol battalion and other yamen, and then the military intelligence department intervened, and other departments stayed away.

In the evening, Cao Wenzhao came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Dolgon is indeed dead." ” Zhu Xu didn't care, and said, "Hmm." ” Cao Wenzhao glanced at Sun Chuanting on the side, didn't say much, and left.

Sun Chuanting handed over a notebook and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions about this year's plan?"

” Zhu Xu stretched out his hand to take it, casually opened it and looked at it, leaned on the chair, was silent for a while, and said, "How sure is it?"

” Sun Chuanting proposed a bolder and more radical approach, that is, no longer step by step, but began to comprehensively measure the acres of land across the country, and opened the curtain of land division!

Such a move will not only cause a huge shock, but the cabinet may also be inadequate.

Sun Chuanting pondered for a while, and said, "There are ministers who grasp it, but it will take a long time to digest it in the future, and the advantage is that once the disaster is over, the recovery of national strength will be accelerated, and the people will be better off." ” Zhu Xu has been thinking about this matter for several days, looked up at Sun Chuanting, and said in a very calm tone: "Since you are sure, I will support you in doing it." ” Sun Chuanting lifted his clothes, knelt on the ground and saluted, "The minister obeys the order, thank the Holy Grace!"

” Courtiers rarely make such a big gift, Zhu Xu did not stop it, and accepted it.

Their monarchs and ministers all know that this is their last battle, and once they succeed, they will definitely be able to establish the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years!

Jingzheng 11th year, March.

In the name of the first assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chuanting signed the 'land division order' and opened the land division across the country.

The Chaobao comprehensively forwarded the Cabinet decree and attached a signed article by Cabinet Minister Fu Changzong.

As a result, the nationwide action of dividing land from north to south, like a raging fire, spread out.

The cabinet ministers and the five ministers of the Cabinet all went out of Beijing and went to various places to supervise a series of tasks in the sub-localities.

The eleventh year of Jingzheng, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in history, March 19.

Zhu Xu appeared on the Changhua Gate and looked to the north.

He was followed by Cao Huachun, who had not been seen for a long time, and there were only the two of them.

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu for a long time, and could feel his complex emotions, but he didn't know why, so he could only accompany him quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Xu exhaled lightly and said, "Xiao Cao, I don't have any regrets. ” 'Xiao Cao', Zhu Xu hasn't called Cao Huachun that way for a long time.

Hearing this title, Cao Huachun was also in a trance, as if he thought of the scene when he was in Jingyang Palace, or His Majesty King Hui asked Emperor Tianqi to ask him to go to Jinghuan Palace.

Even Cao Huachun, who had followed Zhu Xu for more than 20 years, didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Xu's words, bowed down, and didn't speak.

The reform of the Ming Dynasty is vigorous and unstoppable, and it is only a matter of time before the reform is completed.

He knows very well that this is Zhu Xu's long-cherished wish, and he has been fighting for it for more than 20 years, and more than 20 years, in the blink of an eye, when he succeeds, it seems to be in front of him.

Zhu Xu just stood like this, except for Zhu Xu, no one knew.

On this day in history, Li Zicheng invaded the city of Beijing and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is still alive, countless people are alive and will always be alive.
