Zhu Xu returned to the imperial study room, and Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others were waiting.

As soon as Sun Chengzong and Zhu Xu sat on the chair, they raised their hands and said, "Emperor, Shaanxi/Western areas are too wide. The places where the government troops stationed are far apart, the head and tail are not connected, and the disaster is serious. In addition, rumors are flying all over the sky. If there is a little movement, it will cause chaos in the people. This situation can not only be solved by relying on the government troops to ease the sanctions."

This is not a new word. Zhu Xu drank tea and signaled him to continue.

Sun Chengzong's previous words were just to lay the groundwork and continued: "Emperor, these bandits will be too big once they become powerful. Tens of thousands of people gathered among friends, but they cannot be comforted. They dare not fight against the government army. They only know how to grab, grab big families, grab officials, grab the people, grab everything they can get. Even if the court temporarily suppresses him, it will still be restored when there is any movement. If the roots are not eliminated, the disaster will not be eliminated."

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his fingers, looking calm, but he agreed with Sun Chengzong's words in his heart.

In the late Ming Dynasty, no matter how corrupt the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty was or how suspicious and fickle the emperor was. Despite the defeat of the government army in the face of bandits, the court always had the upper hand before Sun Chuanting's death. After Sun Chuanting's death, the Ming Dynasty was not without generals, but why could Li Zicheng break through the North/Beijing?

Because at that time, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty had been exhausted and he had no strength to fight against the bandits anymore. Even except for the Guan/Ning Army of Shanhai/Guan, the power of resistance was lost.

Zhu Xu didn't want his political reform to be consumed by these bandits. He looked at the few people thinking about it and said, "What about your opinions?"

Shen Yongmao glanced at Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting and raised his hand and said, "Emperor, you can't fundamentally solve the problem even if you refine the province and increase troops. Transferring refugees is the only choice."

Zhu Xu frowned. Didn’t this be negotiated long ago?

When Sun Chuanting saw this, he quickly responded, "Your Majesty, we have discussed that Shaanxi/Xi, Sichuan, Yunnan/Nan, and even to Hubei/Guangzhou, Yunnan/Nan and other places, the disaster is too severe and will continue for a long time. Therefore, Yichen and others believe that it should be transferred by force. Liaodong has now reclaimed more than 10,000 hectares of land, most of which are not bad. Mao Wenlong has also reclaimed a lot in the Liaodong Peninsula in the past two years, and North Korea is enough to accommodate one million people. In this way, three million people can be transferred from Shaanxi/Xi and other places this year!"

“Forced transfer?”

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him. It was obvious that they also realized the hidden threat of civil chaos and wanted to completely eradicate civil chaos.

However, the Jiannu of Liaodong is still there, and there is a fundamental threat. The forced transfer of the court will be restricted, and the risks will be greater, and it may not be approved by the court.

Sun Chengzong seemed to see Zhu Xu's concerns, and several people looked at each other and said, "Emperor, there is another news. Lin Danhan appeared and sent envoys to the capital."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, he didn't know the news!

Thinking that the Ministry of War had always had contact with Mongolian and ancient tribes, he was not surprised and said calmly: "Talk about it."

Sun Chengzong said, "Emperor, Chahar was defeated before, Lin Danhan fled to the Moxi Huit tribe and was taken in by them. Now Jiannu is depressed and unable to conquer the grasslands. Therefore, Lin Danhan led his troops back to Chahar and has already conquered Chahar. The Bahrain, Zalut and other tribes that were annexed by Jiannu have been loosened, and the relationship between Korqin and Jiannu also seems a bit subtle. The emperor and Tatars may be able to re-reinforce Jiannu."

The Tatars were generally the general term for Mongolians and ancient times in the Ming Dynasty, including Chahar, Korqin and other tribes.

Zhu Xu's eyes gradually flashed as he listened to Sun Chengzong's words.

The weakness of the Later Jin Dynasty is now, and it is impossible to do anything to the Mongolian and ancient tribes. There are also many conflicts within the Mongolian and ancient tribes. Ke/ Erqin is currently the largest tribe in the southern part of the desert, and the tiger looks at the entire southern part of the desert. Ke/ Erqin has a close relationship with the Later Jin Dynasty. Even though the relationship is subtle now, the cooperation is unnecessary.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, looked at the two of them and said, "You mean, I should support Lin Danhan, let him become bigger, and threaten Ke, Erqin and Jiannu?"

Sun Chuanting raised his hand and said, "Yes, the constant conquests between the emperor and the Mongolian tribes will also make them restrain the Jianshu and unable to invade our border."

Zhu Xu understood that this was a strategy of killing one stone, and the risks didn't seem to be great. He said thoughtfully, "So, what do we have to pay?"

The three of them looked at each other and Sun Chengzong said, "Emperor, I am discussing reopening the mutual market and supporting Lin Dankhan. This person is determined to revive Mongolian and Gu and realize Kublai Khan's great cause. As long as you get enough things through the mutual market, he will not invade again. Instead, he is committed to destroying Jiannu, unifying Mongolian and Gu, and finally breaking with our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xu tapped his finger on the table, his expression calm and he remained silent for a long time.

The three people's plan can be said to be very good or even the best. If they really want to implement it, it will not only allow Mongolian, Gu and Jiannu to restrain each other, and the Later Jin Dynasty to buy time for the Ming Dynasty, but also allow the Ming Dynasty's immigration plan to be implemented smoothly without any obstacles and greatly reduced the risks.

When Shen Yongmao saw that Zhu Xu did not speak, he also knew that the emperor had a firm blockade attitude towards the north, whether it was Jiannu or Tatar, and he said sincerely, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed, and it should be decided quickly."

Zhu Xu looked at Shen Yongmao, then at Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting. The three of them all agreed. He thought, and his eyes moved slightly, "In this way, I will meet this envoy first."

When Sun Chengzong and the other two saw that Zhu Xu was still hesitant, they looked at each other. Sun Chengzong said, "Your Majesty, what are your concerns?"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I have to think about it more."

Mongolian and ancient times were different from the Later Jin Dynasty. The Later Jin Dynasty had already established a country and had a perfect national system that could threaten the Ming Dynasty. Mongolian and ancient times were just a collection of tribes. They had long lost Genghis Khan's ambitions. At most, they were plundering and not having the ambition and ability to enter the Central Plains.

Sun Chengzong and the other two saw something vaguely, but fortunately there was no need to make a decision immediately. They looked at each other again. Sun Chuanting replied: "Emperor, Lord Bi is almost here at the West/An. According to the plan, he will convene generals, governors and governors of various provinces to discuss provincial reforms. However, the chaos in the southwest is frequent and cannot be eliminated for a while. I am afraid it will be delayed for a long time. Does the emperor have other decrees regarding the increase in troops?"

Now it is just when refugees first arose, most of them do not have the courage to compete with the official army. They are more like robbers who are being chased and suppressed by the official army. Although this mobility is not a guerrilla war, it also makes the official army a little powerless. It has just been wiped out on this side, but it has risen up again on the other side, running around, as if it is endless.

Zhu Xu always wanted to control the civil unrest at the beginning, thinking: "The key is to provide disaster relief and control the people's sentiment. The suppression of the government and military forces is just the last method. Not only should we save money, but we should also refine the huge prefectures and counties, and strengthen control. We cannot let rumors fly everywhere, and everyone rushed to become bandits..."

After listening to Sun Chengzong and others, they had no objection. The current civil chaos is not enough to cause panic among the court. They are relatively stable and their opinions are consistent, so they all provide disaster relief first.

After talking for a long time, Zhu Xu saw the three of them away, sat there, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Transfer to King Xin to see me. Let Lin Danhan's envoy also enter the palace and wait."

"Yes." Liu Shimin responded and quickly ordered someone to pass the order.

Zhu Xu sat there and sighed softly. He was really worried about internal and external troubles, and he was full of troubles. His current situation should be much better than Chongzhen in history, and I don’t know how he survived the past ten years.

Zhu Xu almost habitually picked up the memorial again. This was the memorial by the Governor of the Southwest Sichuan Province. He said that this year's drought will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in autumn grain, and asked the court to reduce taxes.

Zhu Xu looked carefully and wrote the words "Please correct, transfer to Wen Zhao Pavilion for detailed comments" and put them aside.

The next book is the governor of Hu/Guang, with similar contents. In addition to requesting reduction of taxes, the court also requested relief.

The next one is Shaanxi/Xiangxi, and later there are memorials from Shandong/East, Mountain/Xiangxi, Yunnan/South, and even Jiangsu, all of which refer to disasters and request tax cuts.

Zhu Xu frowned when he saw it. The disaster in the Ming Dynasty was indeed very serious, spread throughout the country, and all he could bear were the people at the bottom. The gap between the rich and the poor for more than two hundred years had reached the extreme. The wealthy group of people were still singing and dancing to peace at this time, and the warehouse was full of wine and meat, but the people at the bottom had already reached the tragic situation of eating each other with human flesh!

"It seems that we can't wait like this." Zhu Xu's gaze was slightly condensed, and he was about to start writing again. He had reduced taxes. If the local area collected a pampered bag, he would have to take the blame!

He looked at these memoirs and put his expression aside with a cold expression.

"See the Emperor."

As soon as Zhu Xu put it down, Zhu Youjian strode in and raised his hand and said seriously.

Zhu Xu looked up at Zhu Youjian. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell from his posture that the regent was now full of energy and determined to do something.

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "The emperor is not giving me a gift. I'm here to come to you this time for the southwest."

Zhu Youjian also knew that wars in the southwest and other places were constantly on the verge of war, which made the senior officials of the capital quite worried. He looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of disaster relief, I have ordered the disaster response yamen to mobilize 1 million stones of grain and 1 million taels of silver to Shaanxi. I believe that Shaanxi/Western will stabilize soon."

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly. There was a big hole in the southwest. The imperial court had no money and food enough to fill it. He said straight to the point: "Brother, my ministers have given me a suggestion to force the people who were seriously affected by Shaanxi and Xi to Liaodong."

Zhu Youjian's expression changed in shock and couldn't help but object: "Your Majesty, you must not! If the Jiannu has not been destroyed, if they robbed these victims, they will be like a tiger and become a major concern for our Ming Dynasty again! Never!"

Jiannu’s biggest weakness is that his population is small, so he tried every means to plunder the Ming population. If he sent hundreds of thousands of people to them for nothing, he would be afraid that Jiannu would recover his vitality in a short time.

In Zhu Youjian's view, those who proposed this strategy should be killed, which is a clear "investor"!
