Chapter 5 You Hit You, I Hit Mine (1)

Chapter 5: You hit yours, I hit mine (1)

When the storm on the Mongolian grasslands changed color, Xiong Tingbi, who had occupied Wuchang, rectified his troops, recruited the army, and removed the old and weak. The total total force reached 100,000. Hong Chengchou and the Jiangfang Minister were not willing to fall behind. After acquiring the Dongting Lake Naval Division, he officially submitted a memorial to Zhu Yinglong. Dongting Lake Naval Division and Shibazhai Water Shang Township Yong merged with one place and selected his elite troops to officially establish the Yangtze River Naval Division. Zhu Yinglong approved his request, but changed the name of the naval division.

It was changed to "Naval East China Sea Fleet". Although they could only stay in the Yangtze River for a while, the name was still in place at once, saving trouble in the future. In this way, Zhu Yinglong pulled up the navy's banner. Although Hong Chengchou couldn't guess why the emperor gave him an irrelevant name at once, he was concerned that he, the minister of Jiangfang, had an army to command. No matter what his name was, he had to listen to the emperor anyway.

Bi Zisu was promoted more than a little bit, from the original Hanyang Prefecture to the Wuhan Prefecture. Zhu Yinglong issued an order to merge Hanyang Prefecture and Wuchang Prefecture into Wuhan Prefecture. Hanyang City and Wuchang City were also merged into a new Wuhan City, and moved the capital of Wuhan to the original Wuchang City. The original Hanyang Prefecture Office gave Hong Chengchou, the Minister of Jiangfang, and became the temporary commander of the Navy's East China Sea Fleet.

Ten days after occupying Wuchang, Xiong Tingbi found that the reorganization was almost done. He made an order to take Huguang in the year, so he left 20,000 to defend the city, and the remaining 80,000 troops were divided into two groups. One was his deputy commander Yang Zhaoji, leading 60,000 troops to attack Changsha Prefecture south. On the other side, Zuo Liangyu led 20,000 people to cross Dongting Lake and fight westward, joining forces with Zheng Nansheng and then going south. The two armies, one east and one west, quickly attacked. Yang Zhaoji brought six red cannons, Zuo Liangyu brought these four red cannons, and the remaining ten red cannons defended Wuchang, because Wei Zhongxian drew 50,000 troops from Nanjing and joined forces with more than 40,000 local troops convened by Jiujiang, Jiangxi and other places, with Li Qi as the commander and Li Chaoqin as the supervisor, rushed towards Wuchang with aggressive force.

Although Li Qi is Wei Zhongxian's confidant, Li Chaoqin is not as strong as anyone else's. He is Wei Zhongxian's most trusted godson. Xiao Jiuqiansui is so hot in Nanjing. So Li Qi has to listen to Li Chaoqin's actions. It would be fine if Li Chaoqin understood military affairs, but he was a fool who pretended to know. When he heard that Xiong Tingbi had divided his troops, he immediately ordered the army to rush to Wuchang.

Although Li Qi reminded Li Chaoqin to be careful of fraud, it is important to know that the famous generals in Wuchang City are famous for their time, even the Jin people are under him. Li Chaoqin doesn't think so. Although he already knows Xiongba's true identity, he doesn't agree with it. He believes that Huang Taiji was just underestimating the enemy for a while and was defeated by a great defeat. It was not defeated by Xiong Tingbi, but by himself. From this point of view, Xiong Tingbi is not that scary, as long as he plays steadily

It’s no longer a problem to take down Wuchang City. Of course, Li Chaoqin had some eyesight and could see some of the reasons why Huang Taiji was defeated by Xiong Tingbi, but he forgot one thing that hadn’t been Xiong Tingbi’s major mistake of underestimating the enemy, he wouldn’t have defeated Huang Taiji. It can be seen that a person’s failure is not single, but Li Chaoqin saw it alone. Unconsciously, he made a mistake of underestimating the enemy even more than Huang Taiji. How could there be a reason to be invincible?

Just as Li Chaoqin crossed Li Qi to command a 90,000 army to besiege Wuchang City, a shocking event occurred in Luoyang. A mountain that lies above the people of Luoyang fell suddenly. King Fu, who had been majestic for more than ten years, was confiscated by the court. King Fu, who was more than 300 kilograms, was arrested in a crying manner with his family in prison.

The imperial envoy, King Hui, Zhu Changrun, looked at the fat King Zhu Changxun, who was almost unable to walk, and cried like tears, and shouted loudly that he had no choice but to be the imperial envoy.

The poor King of Fu Zhu Changxun didn't understand why he suddenly changed from a mighty prince to a prisoner under the street. His mother, Concubine Zheng, was moved out of Cining Palace and moved into the Luan Palace where the palace maid was waiting to die. His nephew was much crueler than his father and elder brother.

The results of searching the Fu Palace were shocking. Only one vassal king who had been in the vassal for more than ten years had collected more than 5 million taels of silver, 3,000 gold ingots, five large boxes of gold and silver utensils, jewelry and jade, countless porcelains, antiques, and many other things were copied. The charge of the Fu Palace was confirmed. This made King Hui Zhu Changrun's eyes burst into flames. They were all born by a father, and his own property was compared with King Fu.

Come, less than one tenth. It is said that the court is so poor that the emperor is not out of money, so he should take action against the royal family! Thinking of this, King Hui Zhu Changrun suddenly felt that he was sympathetic to King Fu. He quickly found someone when no one was around and quickly compiled a letter and went home, asking the family to hide the valuable things. Although he had only been a few years old, he didn't do much good things, but there were a few bad things. If the emperor held on, it would be troublesome.

Opening the memorial presented by Zhou Huaian, Zhu Yinglong was surprised. He could have expected that he could copy a lot of things from the Fu Palace, but he didn't expect that there would be so much. Now Sun Shenxing would not bother him every day, because Zhu Yinglong used a large pen to set up a navy and build large warships with a large pen. In this way, the silver that the Ministry of Revenue, which was already a small amount of money, suddenly disappeared. Sun Shenxing naturally refused to obey, and wrote several letters to request the suspension of the group.

Zhu Yinglong naturally disagreed with the construction of the navy and the construction of large warships. He repeatedly rejected his memorials, but Sun Shenxing was stubborn. If you rejected it, he continued to submit the memorials and even pulled several censors to submit the advice. Zhu Yinglong now saw Sun Shenxing and walked around. At present, the threat from the sea was Zheng Zhilong from Fujian. However, Zhu Yinglong's huge naval plan was not enough to defeat Zheng Zhilong, so the investment was very large. Three million was already calculated by him, and the preliminary construction could not be reduced. Sun

If you have a different view, you will have another idea. Although Zheng Zhilong has won Fujian, his fleet is still responsible for escorting business with Japan, Nanyang, Malacca and other people. It is not possible to be an enemy of the court for the time being. If there is no sufficient benefit, Zheng Zhilong will not rashly lead the fleet to the north. Especially this year, Fujian suffered a severe drought. Zheng Zhilong is busy with disaster relief and immigrating to Taiwan. The court only needs to maintain a even-match fleet. It is calculated that one million taels of silver has been spent.

It was enough, so Zhu Yinglong was repeatedly asked to cut the Navy's funds and use the saved money to use the disaster relief in Shaanxi. Not only did Fujian suffer from drought, but Shaanxi also suffered a large-scale drought this year. The court had to add the disaster relief special bank for Shaanxi's suppression and comforting camp. Originally, the Ministry of Revenue should have been the richest yamen in the court, and it almost became the poorest yamen, because the money in the Ministry of Revenue's bank treasury was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, and it had long been divided up by various expenses. The Minister of Revenue was so anxious that he went to Chongwenmen to collect taxes.

Although house searches are quick to get money, this can only solve the urgent problem. To treat the symptoms but not the root cause, it is necessary to vigorously develop the economy, encourage business, and open up the country's doors.

You can't just circulate the houses. If King Fu hadn't committed so many crimes, Zhu Yinglong would have no reason to issue an order to circulate the house of a vassal king. His purpose was to shock the royal family and nobles. Don't do too much and arouse public grievances. Don't blame him for not talking about family affection at that time. But unexpectedly, the circumvention of the Fu Palace and the Ministry of Revenue was relieved of the unexpected accident.
