Chapter 23 Sending troops to Chengdu

The situation of "heen silence in the morning" that all civil and military officials worry about has not appeared

After the empress dowager cleverly made plans to kill the "Two Kings", she did not obey the government as the ministers imagined. Instead, she issued an imperial edict, announced the emperor to take charge of the rule, and appointed four auxiliary ministers: Sony, Suksah, Ebilong, and Fan Wencheng.

This move was very clever, completely abolishing the system of joint political discussion between the prince, Bell and princes and nobles, consolidating the imperial power and quickly stabilizing the situation in the court.

After the series of operations by the Empress Dowager, all the civil and military officials discovered that although the Empress Dowager was in the harem, they knew the situation in the court well. They not only took ruthless actions, but also had a very clever and long-term layout, which quickly brought the Qing ship to the right track.

But they didn't count how long this ship could last.

Because in addition to internal stability, there is another external factor that cannot be ignored, that is, whether Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang would agree.

...

Compared with the bloody storm in Beijing, Zhu Youlang, who is far away in Sichuan, has always been proud of his youth.

Zhu Youlang celebrated the New Year in Chongqing.

In addition to reviewing memorials, he only did one thing this year, which was to promote hot pot.

The craftsmen in the army made dozens of copper hotpots and gave them to Qin Liangyu, Li Mei, Li Yindu, Qin Yiming, Tan Wen and other Sichuan officials. At the same time, they also gave them the base and soup recipes.

And he also had a hot pot and a hot pot for the next one, which made him feel bleeding from his nose. He didn't bring any concubines, and there was a beautiful Yang Ai next to him, who was so furious that he was like a baked cake at night.

Fortunately, although he likes spicy food, he dare not eat too much spicy food because he is afraid that he will become a "young man with hemorrhoids".

I don’t know if it’s because “the superiors have something to like, the subordinates must have the greatest interest” or the Sichuan people have a special liking for hot pot. After the Chinese New Year, Zhu Youlang went to the street to see it. There were already several hot pot restaurants, and the business was very prosperous.

Zhu Youlang was happy, and letting the hot pot enter the homes of ordinary people was his wish.

As for the words "Imperial Gift", "Imperial Making", "Imperial Seal" and other words written on the signs of these shops, he had no intention of correcting them.

Anyway, it is a means for merchants to attract customers. How could he be as knowledgeable as these merchants as a dignified country?

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youlang summoned the accompanying civil and military officials to discuss the march to Chengdu, including the Tan brothers of Zhongzhou and Kuizhou, Yang Zhan, Liu Weiming, etc., who also rushed over from the garrison.

After the civil and military officials and military officials met, Zhu Youlang looked at the Tan brothers, Yang Zhan, Liu Weiming and others and was startled: "Wow, it turns out that the five people looked like beggars, but now they are like little rich men? They are white and fat, and they are dressed brightly. How can they look like beggars?"

"Tan Wen, you guys have lived a good life recently." Zhu Youlang said with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, since you came to Sichuan, we have been celebrating the New Year every day, especially the hot pot I gave, which is so delicious. I eat it almost every day, how can I not eat fat?" Tan Wen replied with a smile.

When Tan Hong heard his brother's answer, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, not only me, but also the soldiers under his command. Although he couldn't eat hot pot, he had enough rice, and there was a meal of meat and vegetables every now and then."

"That's right, Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has given you enough supplies, we are suffering, but we are not the same as the New Year every day? My elder brother loves hot pot and has given me a lot of money to pay for the salary and money." Tan Yi quickly picked up the vacant ones next to him.

Zhu Youlang was happy and said to himself: "These three brothers really cooperate and understand each other."

"Yang Aiqing, where are you?" Zhu Youlang asked Yang Zhan again.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I am used to hard life and know how to cherish it. However, the hot pot given by the emperor is so delicious, so I am a little greedy. However, the emperor, I dare not drink military blood. I only bought mutton with my own salary." Yang Zhan said hurriedly.

"Yes." Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "What I hate the most is corrupt officials. Whether it is civil officials or military officials, if anyone dares to embezzle and accepts bribes, I will never look at the past, and I don't care how much you have made. As long as I find out, I will never give up."

"I will follow the sages!" The civil and military officials were so shocked when they heard the order, and hurriedly bowed and agreed.

"Of course, I will not treat my ministers badly, and I will never let them do the job hungry. In the future, the country will be stable and the material is abundant, and I will consider increasing everyone's salary. If the family is really large and there are difficulties, the court will not ignore it."

"Okay, I can trust you. I just want to say this."

Tan Wen waited and said repeatedly and returned to the class.

"I want to use troops to Chengdu in three days, and still advance by water and land. Zhongwu led the navy to go upstream along the Minjiang River. Ruiting led the imperial army, mountain army, and Baigang soldiers to set out from land, and Bishan led the engineering troops to be responsible for the baggage and set out with Ruiting. Before February 2, the Chengdu division was in Chengdu."

"I obey the order!" Chen Zhongwu, Jiao Lian and Zhang Tongchang came out to collect the order.

"Chongqing is a strategic location. I specially set up the position of Chongqing General, with the title of general, and is responsible for Chongqing garrison. Qin cheated on the Ming Dynasty!"

"I'm here."

"I have appointed you as the General of Chongqing and give you a military camp. I hope you can do it yourself."

Zhu Youlang had been observing for so long and had a deep impression of Qin Poming. This guy was very sarcastic, but he was very sensible and was very steady in his work, so he gave him the important task of defending Chongqing.

"I obey the order! Please rest assured that you must guard Chongqing well. As long as you are here, Chongqing will be as solid as a god." Qin Poming said excitedly on the ground.

Can you not be excited? It turns out that the military officer who is like King Shan became the general, which is the highest official position among military officers in a province. Oh, it is the rank of general, which is not bad.

"Well, do you know how to do it?" Zhu Youlang asked again.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I have learned a lot from the mountain army and imperial guards these days. The first is to train soldiers well and improve the combat effectiveness of the army; the second is to strengthen military discipline and never allow bad habits to be brought into the army; the third is to strengthen ideological education, do good deeds for the people, love and help the people without harming the people." Qin Poming answered in a very organized manner, and it seems that he has done a lot of homework these days.

"Well, that's it. In addition, don't interfere in political affairs, just do your job well." Zhu Youlang nodded with satisfaction and gave another order.

"I obey the order." Qin Feiming responded.

"Zi De, in addition to war and quelling chaos, any disaster or matters involving thousands of households and families are not enough, he can borrow troops from Feiming without asking for an imperial edict, but he must submit the edict later." Zhu Youlang said to Li Yindu again.

In Zhu Youlang's memory, Sichuan has many disasters, including floods, earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, etc.

I just don’t know if these hateful natural disasters will harm the people of Sichuan in this life?
