"Your Majesty, I believe that since Your Majesty asked King Tang to recruit troops, there must be your intentions. I support Your Majesty's decision."
Zhang Huangyan, Sun Chengzong, Xia Wanchun and other ministers, although they are literati, can also straddle the enemy and command thousands of troops. They also fully support Zhu Youjian's decision.
In their hearts, the emperor is definitely a holy king, and his existence is like a god. How could a few civil servants of the fifth and sixth ranks be able to question it.
Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with the performance of these competent generals under his command, and when he looked at Fang Kezhuang and other civil officials, his face gradually became cold.
"I have established a system in which civil servants and military commanders have their own responsibilities. In order to prevent the blood and tears of the soldiers, and to ban the Metropolitan Procuratorate, don't you all know?
You are not Dongchang fanzi, nor Jinyiwei, how can you be so clear about the recruitment of soldiers by the vassal king?Have you already started planning something? "
Zhu Youjian's words almost scared several civil servants to pee. They used to be the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After being banned by Zhu Youjian, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Since he worked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has been specialized in spraying people. He is used to his old job. He forgot his current job in a moment of impatience, and ended up going back to his old job.
The change in the emperor's face immediately reminded them of the fate of those generals and censors, who were either killed or exiled to Mongolia to graze.
Their faces were pale with fright, and they kowtowed upwards:
"I deserve ten thousand deaths for my crime. I am guilty of my crime. Please punish me."
Fortunately for them, they were in a good mood today when they met Zhu Youjian, and they didn't bother to argue with them:
"I don't care about you today, remember not to be an example, otherwise you will know the consequences yourself, do your own work well in the future, don't use it to go up, and step down."
Originally, they were just the assistants of Hubu Shangshu and Hubu Shilang, and their official positions were only fifth and sixth rank. It didn't matter whether they were in the court, so Zhu Youjian directly disqualified them from going to court.
"Thank you Your Majesty for not killing me, long live my emperor!"
These people didn't expect that after the emperor got angry, he would spare their lives, kowtowed to thank them, and exited the Emperor's Palace in despair.
Now for them, it doesn't mean much to them not to go to court.
In the past, it was possible to get promoted and get rich by spraying people in court, but now the risk of spraying people is too great.
Once it is said that it is impossible to save one's life, it is best not to go to court, the worst is to stay where one is, as long as one is not corrupt, at least one's life will be safe.
Seeing these embarrassing exits from the Emperor's Palace, the generals were all secretly amused. Now, there is no room for villains in front of the Holy One. Long live the Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 655 Tang King Zhu Yujian
Chapter 655 Tang King Zhu Yujian
After Zhu Youjian's imperial edict was issued, with the assistance of the Ministry of War, Haijiao and Tang Wang Zhu Yujian immediately began to prepare military supplies for Ryukyu.Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not moved food and grass first, but this expedition does not need to transport military supplies by land, as long as they are shipped in Tianjin.
Haijiao loaded all the military supplies and food on the sailing warship in Tianjin, and Tang Wang Zhu Yujian led the army to rush to Fujian to meet up.
Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, with the word Changshou, the second emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the eighth grandson of the third son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang No. 20, Tang Wang Zhu Wang, his grandfather was Tang Duan Wang Zhu Shuoyin, his father was Tang Duan Wang's son Zhu Qiqi, and his mother Xuan Queen Mao.
After Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Beijing, the clan of the Ming Dynasty established Nanming in the south of the Yangtze River.
In 1644, Fu Wang Zhu Yousong established the Hongguang regime.
In 1645, Emperor Hongguang was captured by the Qing army and died. Zheng Zhilong, Huang Daozhou and others supported Zhu Yujian to ascend the throne in Fuzhou and proclaimed himself emperor. .
In 1646, when the Qing army entered Fujian, Emperor Longwu was taken captive in Tingzhou and died of a hunger strike at the age of 44.
Emperor Longwu was a more accomplished emperor in the Nanming regime, but it was a pity that his personal power was not enough to change the whole situation.
There are many theories about the fate of Emperor Longwu: he died on a hunger strike, was shot to death by random arrows, beheaded at Caishikou, and died in Tingzhou Mansion, etc., and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
The Qing army chased Tingzhou, and Emperor Longwu, Empress Zeng, Concubine Shen and Concubine Chen were captured in Zhaojiatang.Emperor Longwu and later were killed in Changting about the day they were captured.
According to the records of the Qing Dynasty: General Dorobeileboluo, the great general who conquered the South, entered Fujian and went to Jianning and Yanping Prefectures.
"I heard that the puppet Tang king Zhu Yuzhao fled to Tingzhou, and sent the commanders of the guards, Azignikan and Dould, to lead their troops to pursue them and went straight to the city. Our army fought hard and captured Zhu Yuzhao, the puppet Yangqu king Zhu Shengdu, and the Xihe king Zhu Sheng Quan, Songzi Wang Zhu Yanhan, Xicheng Wang Zhu Tongjian, false officials, false uncles, etc., Fuding Tingzhou.... Nine false seals were obtained, and the horses and mules were too heavy."
Jiang Risheng's "Taiwan Foreign Records" says:
"Emperor Longwu died in the Tingzhou mansion hall on August 28th in the third year of Shunzhi. According to the records of various families, Longwu was arrested and sent to Fuzhou to be executed in the city.
But from time to time, Lu Kunheng, a guard in Jinyi, came along and saw that Emperor Longwu's empress, wearing a small cap in military uniform, was killed with his concubine Ji.Kunheng escaped.The people collected the corpses and buried them in Luohan Ridge, and erected a stele saying:
'Longwu and his mother, Concubine Guanghua, taboo the tomb of Yingying Zhonglie Xu Niangniang'.Later, Kunheng returned to Zheng, and then became a monk. He was eighty years old, and he was oral.Therefore, it is specially shown. "
There are varying degrees of disagreement in the records of Emperor Longwu's fate.Jiang Risheng refuted the statement that he was escorted back to Fuzhou, the capital of the province, to be beheaded. He was wise, because such a major event was never mentioned in Qing archives and records of people in Fuzhou.
Another theory is that the person killed in Tingzhou was the double of Emperor Longwu, who himself fled to Wuzhishan in Guangdong and became a monk.
According to folklore, after Emperor Longwu fled to Hutou, he was afraid of being found out, so he settled down in Miaofeng Temple on Miaofeng Mountain, shaved his hair and became a monk, calling himself "Southern Monk".
In the early days, the "Southern monks" studied and practiced martial arts, planning to try their best to recover Daming Rivers and Mountains one day.But later, when he saw that the situation in the world was clear and the general situation was over, he became discouraged and became a monk, and finally died in Hutou.
This statement is unbelievable for the following reasons: First, Guangdong supported the Longwu court at that time. If Emperor Longwu could escape to Guangdong, there was no need to escape into Buddhism; "The emperor sent envoys to comfort the ministers" in the book is contradictory.
Second, no one has ever come forward to confirm this rumor; on the contrary, after returning to Guangdong, the scholar He Wuzu who fled with Emperor Longwu must have received fairly accurate information before writing to the Zhaoqing authorities to appoint a new emperor.
If Zhu Yujian had been born in a peaceful and prosperous age, he might have been a wise king. He was very frugal, and his character was rare among the southern Ming emperors.
But unfortunately, he lived in the troubled times of the late Ming and early Qing, and the soldiers and horses in his hands were not enough to compete with the Qing soldiers.
He himself can be said to be a more capable emperor among the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong force in the wrong place, which made him achieve nothing. In the end, the Longwu court's plan to restore the country failed.
Zhu Youjian's previous understanding of the history of the late Ming Dynasty made him feel sorry for Zhu Yujian. Since Tang Wang is the most capable one among the many vassal kings, Zhu Youjian will give him a chance to display his ability.
At the beginning, he was preparing to let him go to Nanyang. Later, when the brothers Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong appeared, Zhu Youjian gave the management of Nanyang to Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong.
The country of Wa has done great damage to China, and Zhu Youjian is sure to take down this humble country. Tang Wang Zhu Yujian is the best candidate in Zhu Youjian's mind to manage the country of Wa.
After receiving the emperor's secret decree, the king of Tang began to recruit troops. Even though he only had 2000 troops, these 2000 were all young elites from the Central Plains.
The candidates recruited by the king of the Tang Dynasty should not only be physically strong, but also able to endure hardships and stand hard work, have a strong sense of identity with the country and the nation, and also have a flexible mind and a sense of firearms.
He knew that now was not the time when he was fighting with all his blood and holding a cold weapon. He specially went to the emperor and asked to assign military instructors to help them train recruits.
After receiving the report from the king of Tang, Zhu Youjian not only asked Qi Jiguang to send ten Qi family soldiers from hundreds of households, but also sent five Jinyi guards to teach them the skills of close combat.
Now these people are serving as hundreds of households under the command of King Tang. Under their strict training, the two thousand troops of King Tang have strong combat effectiveness and cohesion.
Some people may say that Zhu Youjian sent Jinyiwei and Qi's army to hold important positions in the army under Zhu Yujian. Isn't Tang Wang worried that he is the eyeliner who supervises him?
To be honest, King Tang really didn't care, he didn't have the idea of rebellion, and he didn't care at all that the emperor sent people to control his army, which was originally the Ming army.
Although the leader of the army was sent by the emperor, as long as Zhu Yujian does not rebel, all these people will obey the command of the Tang king. No matter who they follow, they are only loyal to Daming.
After receiving the imperial decree, the king of Tang immediately assembled his team, each carrying only three days of rations and a small amount of daily necessities, and set off quickly to Fujian on horseback.
