Chapter 102 They did what civil and military officials dare not do
The Prime Minister found a clumsy excuse at will, and left with a little shame and depression.
Only Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Fu were left here.
The two of them looked at each other, chuckled softly with a tacit understanding, and then raised their glasses to drink the wine in the glass.
Bang bang bang.
The door of the house was knocked, and Zhu Xiu walked in from outside and came to Zhu Zhanji, as if he had something to say.
Zhu Zhanji put down his wine glass: "What's wrong, but it's okay to say it, the Duke of the State is not an outsider."
Zhu Xiu nodded and explained: "The news sent by Luo Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, just now seems to be a little uneasy in the south..."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned, then looked at Zhang Fu, with a chuckling on his face: "Look, there is no problem in the north, but there is a problem in the south. These people always don't know to be more obedient."
The Ming Dynasty was like the richest family in the village. Not only were the granaries piled up like mountains, but there were too many servants and maids in the family, but even the concubines who warmed the bed did not carry the same thing for a year.
Such a big dog family will naturally be afraid of others.
It's okay on weekdays, there is a group of vicious servants in the house to guard the house. But once there is a conflict in the house, other families in the village will inevitably wave hoes and want to knock down a few pieces from the wall of the house.
Anyway, I just can't go back empty-handed!
Zhang Fu shrugged and asked Zhu Xiu about the details: "Is it the chieftain from the Yunguang area in the south, or the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, or Jiaozhi, Annan, and Chameng?"
Zhang Fu's words exposed the situation in the south of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the military core of the Ming Dynasty is now targeting the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the north. However, the south is not a place of peace, but it is easier than the north.
But whether it is Yunguang chieftain, the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast, or Vietnam in later generations, they are not always obedient.
Zhu Xiu's face was a little strange. After pondering for a while, he said, "There are all...the chieftains clamoring. The court is too harsh on them, and they can't even fill their stomachs...
Recently, although no Japanese pirates dare to land in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, coastal people can often see Japanese pirate warships on the sea...
As for further south, the news came from there was some gossip from the old dynasty. The Guangxi Provincial Administrator believes that the southern Xinjiang region has to be prepared in advance."
Zhu Zhanji frowned: "It seems that the form in the south is not optimistic..."
Zhang Fu is now in the cabinet and is the left governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. He immediately made a suggestion: "Do you need to dispatch officers and soldiers of Huguang and Nanzhili Guards to the south to suppress them?"
Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Don't move for the time being. If these people are a little restless, the Ming Dynasty will have to launch a large army. Wouldn't it make them feel that the Ming Dynasty is afraid of them?
The Duke of the State issued an order in the name of the cabinet and the governor's office of the Five Army to order Zhejiang and Fujian provinces to strengthen the training of naval forces, and local garrisons to strengthen the training. All commanders can make decisions on their own when encountering the enemy, but they cannot take a step back!
Guangdong and Guangxi will mobilize the provincial garrison stations on their own and go south to the border in the name of training. Sichuan and Guizhou will be vigilant against the direction of Yunnan, and if there is any abnormal movement, it will suppress it with all its might!”
Zhang Fu wrote it down one by one, searching for the military forces of the Ming Dynasty in the south in his mind, and then he felt a little relieved.
Although the Ming Dynasty deployed far more military officers and soldiers in the south than in the north, it was enough to deal with the barbarians in the south who were still monkeys on trees!
This is the confidence of the Ming Dynasty!
Only in this era, the world's overlord's power and confidence!
It was this time.
There were thudding and rapid footsteps coming from the stairs outside.
Without knocking on the door, a general wearing armor rushed into the private room.
It was not someone else who came, but was transferred to the capital from it. Qi Zi'an, the commander of the Fengyang Guard of the former Zhongdu.
The matters decided by the cabinet that day were extremely fast with the joint efforts of both civil and military sides. In just a few days, Qi Zi'an handed over the military affairs of Fengyang Guard and rushed to the capital alone.
Now, he, the commander of the former third-rank, is already the assistant general of the Central Army Governor’s Office, and the second-rank!
Although he no longer leads troops directly, the position of being the deputy governor of the Five Army Governor's Office is different from the past.
The deputy general of the Five Army Governor's Office is in charge of the affairs of the Five Army Governor's Office. If you are transferred out, you can immediately take office as the general, deputy general, and guard the side!
If a war happens, you can even take command of the commander.
This is from a middle-level commander of the Ming army to a top-level figure who can stand alone at any time.
Today, Qi Zi'an has taken over the affairs of the Central Army Governor's Office, and is also responsible for the heavy responsibility of the Beijing Army. He is more powerful than in the past, and he is powerful without anger.
He entered the room and immediately asked to stand firmly, holding his fist and speaking in a deep voice: "Report to Taisun, the left governor, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are gathering in front of the Meridian Gate. A leader is shouting to clarify the cabinet and maintain the tranquility of the Ming Dynasty."
"presumptuous!"
Zhang Fu was instantly angry, and his murderous hand slapped the table heavily. The wine glass in front of him fell down instantly, and rolled to the edge of the table with his spare force.
With a bang.
The wine glass fell on the ground and broke into pieces in an instant.
Zhu Zhanji thought of the cabinet chief who had just left before, and couldn't help but speak: "Where is the cabinet? The cabinet commands various departments and yamen in the court and sets an example for literati in the world. What are they doing?"
Qi Zi'an glanced at Zhang Fu, the left governor who was already angry, swallowed his saliva, and then continued to hold his fists and answered: "Mr. Jin and two Lords Yang of the Cabinet immediately went to the Meridian Gate to persuade the scholars to leave. The Chief Minister who returned to the palace also persuaded him with great pain."
It would be strange if Hu Guang is not heartbroken!
He was still here just now and wanted to protect the scholars. Before he could rush back, the stupid scholars in the back were slapped hard on the face of the Prime Minister with his actions.
During this period of time, everyone was angry with the civil and military officials of the court, but they were forcibly held down by the big bosses from all sides, and the emperor gave some grace, so there was no big mess.
I think that when I was going to investigate the military in Beijing, those military bosses also tried to block the Meridian Gate. If they had not given them the glory of a cabinet, it would have been difficult.
I think that when the Five Army Governor's Office was in charge of the cabinet, the civil servants were also excited and almost blocked the Meridian Gate. If it weren't for the emperor's shock and the future of their descendants, something might have happened.
But now, these young scholars have done things that even the civil and military ministers of the court have not done.
They were really brave and gathered to block the Meridian Gate...
What an honor this Meridian Gate is.
