Late at night.Zhu Youxiao looked in the direction of Kunning Palace and did not speak.Li Ruhua did not leave the Qianqing Palace.Even Fang rushed from the Zheye Political Affairs Hall and waited outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace.All three were nervous and worried about something unexpected.Zhu Youxiao was naturally the most nervous, especially after Li Ruhua suggested that he decreed that if the imperial heir had something to do, everyone in Kunning Palace would be buried with him.He knew what Li Ruhua was guarding against.But because of this, Zhu Youxiao was even more worried about whether there would be a conspiracy lurking in Kunning Palace at this time.Zhu Youxiao now wants to go to Kunning Palace to see the situation.But now, Zhu Youxiao knew that he couldn't go.Liu Ruoyu ran again.Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao also hurriedly ran over.Li Ruhua and Fang Congzhe also hurriedly followed."
How?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.Liu Ruoyu gasped and knelt down first.And Zhu Youxiao's expression froze because of this, and he shouted loudly: "Wang Chengen, pass on the noon gate Yulin and Jinyiwei!"
”Liu Ruoyu only adjusted his breathing at this time, and hurriedly shouted with his headbutt: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the queen mother successfully gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus!"
”Fang Congzhe and Li Ruhua looked at each other and smiled.Then, the two of them couldn't wait to bow their hands to Zhu Youxiao and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this is a sign of peace and security for the Ming Dynasty!"
”"What about the Queen?"
Zhu Youxiao asked."
The queen is fine."
Liu Ruoyu replied."
Spread the decree, everyone in Kunning Palace will be rewarded with three salaries, and the palace will be promoted to the first level!"
Zhu Youxiao continued."
Yes!"
Liu Ruoyu replied, and said in his heart: "Is there no me again?"
”In the next few days, Zhu Youxiao's other pregnant concubines also gave birth one after another, and they all went quite smoothly.In the end, in February of the third year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao had a total of seven children, including five boys and two girls.Zhu Youxiao was naturally a little excited and excited about this, because he never thought that one day, he would have so many children at once.He had to admit that his rain and dew were even wet and his hard work was not in vain.Zhu Youxiao now only hopes that these seven children can grow up happily and peacefully.Of course, Zhu Youxiao also knew that the appearance of the imperial heir was good news for the Ming dynasty.This means that his reign will be more secure.After all, people in this era believe in having many sons and blessings, and the ministers in the court are no exception.Fang Congzhe and Li Ruhua, the ministers who stood on the emperor's side, were already excited, they felt that this meant that the Son of Heaven and his Apocalypse Dynasty were very favored by God, and the Ming Dynasty did have the appearance of revival, rather than being like other dynasties that would have to enter the world of decline after more than two hundred years.Therefore, the Ministry of Rites immediately suggested that Emperor Zhu Youxiao immediately give the name of the prince to the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion to read the jade.In addition, the officials of the household department were also successfully moved by Li Ruhua's words, and took the initiative to ask the imperial court to strictly control the change of rice to mulberry and increase heavy taxes on mulberry fields."
The Imperial Decree and the Zongren Mansion, the eldest son of the emperor gave the name Zhu Ciwei, the second son of the emperor gave the name Zhu Cican, the third son of the emperor gave the name Zhu Cizhuo, the fourth son of the emperor gave the name Zhu Cizhuo, the fifth son of the emperor gave the name Zhu Cizhuo, the eldest daughter of the emperor gave the name Zhu Yan, and the second daughter of the emperor gave the name Zhu Yi, so that he prepared the jade and the ritual note.""
The edict of the household department, the lower part of the decree is to the political departments, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, strictly control the change of rice to mulberry, and those who change rice to mulberry shall be taxed on mulberry fields several times heavier than the tax on rice fields.""
The Imperial Decree of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will add a Department of Veterans and Disabled Soldiers, and together with the Ministry of Officials, the soldiers who apply for discharge and are discharged due to disability will be recommended as local officials, especially Yulinwei and Jinyiwei, and they will be specially hired on file.""
The edict decrees that the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armies, after the North Zhili, set up a patrol battalion in the South Zhili on a pilot basis, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion are allocated by the Military Department together with the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the military attache is preferentially selected by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies from the Department of Retired and Disabled Soldiers, and the patrol battalion is subject to the dual control of the local governor and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and is dispatched by the Governor in peacetime, but it needs to be regularly reported to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies every year!"
And because of this, Zhu Youxiao next issued three holy decrees in a row to ensure the next internal affairs reform.Needless to say, the purpose of strictly controlling the change from rice to mulberry is to ensure grain output.The addition of the Department of Veterans and Disabled Soldiers is Zhu Youxiao's plan to use his most trusted and reliable Yu Linwei and Jinyiwei to serve as local grassroots officials, so as to strengthen the imperial power's control over the locality, especially after the power of the gentry in the Jiangnan area has been greatly weakened and suppressed.The way to control the local grassroots is to set up patrol battalions and maintain local law and order by adding patrol battalions, instead of maintaining law and order by local clan forces."
Soldiers and horses will continue to train, the edict of the Ministry of War, continue to buy a large number of high-quality war horses, this year's treasury revenue has increased greatly, and the military funds allocated to the Ministry of War are far more prosperous than before, so that Xiong Tingbi must use this money in the right place, and then decree the Taifu Temple, when immediately enter the book, report this year's horse breeding plan, don't be afraid of spending money, now the treasury is full, just let me be strong and strong!"
Zhu Youxiao then made another decree."
Yes!"
Fang Congzhe said that he supported His Majesty the Emperor's behavior of strengthening the monarchy, and he still consciously played the role of a chief assistant who obeyed the emperor's will, even if he felt that something was wrong, as long as the impact was not great, he did not intend to stop it directly, and thus destroy the majesty of the emperor.Zhu Youxiao knew that he could not replenish the treasury and did not strengthen his military strength.Because if an empire does not have strong military strength, then no matter how rich his empire is, it is only a lamb to the slaughter, and even, it is best that the king himself is the supreme military commander and has the most powerful military power.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao still took out most of the internal money to forge his own pro-army Yu Linwei.The Yulinwei army is still expanding.Tianjin and Qufu, which had already received education from the emperor, had become a new source of soldiers, and a large number of young men began to be recruited, and the officers and men of the patrol battalion sent by Zhu Youxiao were trained in preparation for recruiting into Yulinwei in the future.The officers and men of the Guards Town, who had already been trained, continued to conduct actual combat and various simulated drills.Zhou Yujibu, the 1st Infantry Battalion of Guards Town, and Huang Degong, a cavalry battalion, sent to Liaodong, had already clashed with Dongyu several times, and the well-equipped and well-organized 1st Infantry Battalion Zhou Yujibu and the cavalry battalion Huang Degong showed strong combat effectiveness.Due to the loss of a large number of veterans in the past two years, the combat effectiveness of Jiannu has declined, so even if Nurhachi concentrates twice as many troops as the troops in the guard town, he still shows an invincible posture, so he can only retreat tactically after dropping hundreds of heads.Therefore, Nurhachi now had to put his Eight Banners on the defensive strategically and tactically, and took the initiative to order the smaller population of the Tunyu to be concentrated in some large tuns to build a stronger walled city.As a military genius proven by history, Nurhachi is naturally capable, and in doing so, he has indeed effectively curbed the strategic intentions of the Ming army.After all, the strength of the guard town is not enough now, and it has been trained in field mode since it was formed, so it is difficult for the guards infantry of Zhou Yujibu to pull out the Dongyu through a tough battle, and now a large number of troops and population, as well as grain and straw, and even a large number of farmland inside, will not only fail to achieve the goal of destroying a large number of Jiannu living forces, but also lose a large number of elites on their side.Because Donglu also had firearms, and in the era of the popularization of firearms, in siege warfare, a civilian could kill a well-trained soldier, after all, it is difficult for well-trained soldiers to exert their combat qualities in siege warfare."
After the strategy, Zhongcheng, the last general thinks, we must change the current way of playing, Donglu is now well-learned, shrinking his head and not coming out, and also took the initiative to give up some small villages, leaving only the big village that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now if you want to eliminate Jiannu, you must concentrate more troops, concentrate artillery fire to attack a big village in Donglu, as long as you hit a big village in Donglu, he will lose a lot of people and food!"
Zhou Yuji therefore said to Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting.
