Chapter 271 Jiangnan is centrifuged!
After asking about the situation in the capital, Chu Yi sat there firmly, and the chief supervisor standing opposite him respectfully bowed to Chu Yi: "Supermaster, before leaving, Your Majesty once told me to tell the Supermaster!"
He looked up at the chief supervisor, and Chu Yi nodded and said, "Oh, I wonder what your Majesty has to tell me?"
The chief supervisor bowed and said, "Your Majesty asked me to tell the Lord of the Supervisor that if the matter is almost done, please return to the capital earlier. Your Majesty miss the Lord of the Supervisor!"
Chu Yi took a deep breath and bowed towards the capital and said, "Your Majesty loves you, Chu Yi is very grateful. If it is done, he will return to Beijing as soon as possible!"
He nodded to Cao Shaoqin and said, "Shaoqin Cao, please ask a few angels to rest first, and wait for this governor to personally write a secret letter to the emperor!"
The chief magistrates bowed to Chu Yi and followed Cao Shaoqin to leave.
Fang Li and his men looked at Chu Yi with joy on their faces, and then Fang Li said to Chu Yi: "Master, Your Majesty has a queen, this is a great joy!"
Chu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, once the prince is born, some people will have nothing to criticize Your Majesty, let alone think about changing the world."
Tang Yin and others were stunned when they heard Chu Yi's words, and looked at Chu Yi in shock. Tang Yin could only hear him say, "Supermaster, no one really wants to change the world, right?"
Chu Yi sneered and said, "Your Majesty has no queen. If something you can't bear to say happens, what will happen?"
Several people looked at each other, with a look of horror in their eyes. Fang Li said in surprise: "If Your Majesty has no descendants and something that cannot be said will happen, then they must support the new king. The first emperor only has His Majesty, the son of the royal family, so it can only be selected from the nearest branches of the royal family. The generation of the first emperor is only King Xingxian, and King Xingxian has two sons. If nothing unexpected happens, then the new king will probably be born in King Xingxian's branch."
As he said that, Fang Li's eyes flashed with cold expressions, "If King Xingxian's lineage ascended the throne, he would definitely eliminate the power left by His Majesty in the inner court. The governor of Jieshi would definitely become the new king's thorn in his eyes!"
Tang Yin said: "The new king must not reuse the supervisor!"
Fang Li sneered, "The new king will naturally value the governor when he ascended the throne, but the more he did, the more it means that the new king would take the initiative against the governor. That is the inner court, which is directly related to the safety of the emperor. If it is not in the hands of the new king, I am afraid that the new king will not be able to swallow his food and sleep."
Qi Hu, who stood beside him, said: "If you have a queen today, your Majesty will be prosperous in spring and autumn. With your Majesty's emphasis on the Supervisor, the inner court will still be the Supervisor's world in the next few decades."
Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, no matter what, Your Majesty will be the biggest joy for us. As long as you do things with peace of mind."
With a bang, a good official kiln porcelain vase was kicked to pieces in the study room. Ning Wang, who was wearing a python suit, said angrily: "Zhu Houzhao, you have a son, God has no eyes!"
In the study, the strategist Liu Yangzheng stroked his beard and looked at the angry King Ning. After King Ning calmed down a little, he spoke: "Your Highness, please calm down. Now it is just the queen who is happy. If the queen is born as a princess, the position of the Eastern Palace will still be empty!"
King Ning shook his head and said, "Sir, you should know why I got angry. After our efforts over the years, there have been rumors in this Jiangnan land that the emperor has no virtue and was punished by heaven and even has no descendants. This is the biggest stain of righteous virtue and a great advantage that the king can gain the will of the people in the future."
For the throne, King Ning can be said to have started to make various preparations many years ago. A few years ago, he ordered people to spread the rumors in Jiangnan that the emperor had lost his virtue and was guilty of being punished by heaven.
What the common people are most interested in is various royal rumors, and Zhu Houzhao has no children for a long time. Although it is just a rumor, in the eyes of those common people, if a person has no descendants, even if he is the emperor, even if the rumors are rumored, they will probably be rumored to be true.
You should know that the people's will be very important, especially when it comes to the disputes between the world. Even if a noble person like King Ning may not take those ordinary people to heart on weekdays, but he at least knows that those who win the people's hearts will win the world.
Once the people think that the emperor is unrighteous, if someone calls out and rebels, they may not be able to fool a group of people into their use.
This is what King Ning planned, but now the news that the queen is pregnant has spread. I believe that it will take a long time for King Ning to spend a lot of effort to gradually become a rumor accepted by the people.
The people in Jiangnan are worth no less than tens of thousands of soldiers for King Ning.
These are two concepts: looking at the wind and falling down by an inch of land and not giving up. Those who win the hearts of the people can be as powerful as a bamboo shoot. The enemy's troops descend by an inch of the wind and falling down. If they are not popular with the hearts of the people, they will be unable to move around.
Li Shishi narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Highness can be at ease. In these days, many gentry and tribes in Jiangnan have secretly supported Youth Highness to raise an army. As long as you get the help of these Jiangnan tribes, your highness doesn't have to care about the hearts of the people."
This was good news. When Li Shishi heard that many great tribes in Jiangnan were willing to support him in rebellion, King Ning couldn't help but look a little excited on his face.
Almost most of the wealth, material resources and manpower of Jiangnan are in the hands of these great clans. The Ming Dynasty capital is located in the north, and the main energy of the court is also in the north, which naturally makes the court less control of the south than the north.
If the court masters the south as if it were in the north, even if it was these aristocratic families, the gentry and powerful people would never dare to siege and kill the tax collectors of the court.
Taking a deep breath, King Ning sat down and looked at Li Shishi and said, "The two gentlemen have to worry more. Since these big clans choose to support me, let them show some sincerity. If the Japanese King wins the world, he will definitely reward you."
Li Shishi bowed and said, "Your Highness is very much. As long as these great clans are willing to help Your Highness, no matter whether it is food, fodder, military armor or even soldiers, it will be no problem. With the support of Jiangnan's wealth, Your Highness can definitely arm an elite army in a short time and enter the capital like a broken bamboo."
With his eyes narrowed, King Ning frowned and said, "When it comes to the capital, there is news that the spies we sent to the capital have been heard. How far has the reorganization of the Beijing camp been carried out? I don't expect to fight all the way to the city of Beijing at that time, and then I will attack the capital with a complete and solid armor."
Li Shishi looked at Liu Yangzheng, and Liu Yangzheng smiled bitterly and said, "Go back to Your Highness, this matter is the responsibility of me. The reorganization of the Beijing camp is the head of the General Manager of the Lishui Supervisor and Chu Yi, the General Manager of the General Manager of the Royal Horses, and it is expected to form the 18th Regiment Camp!"
"What, the 18th Regiment Camp?"
Since King Ning wanted to rebel, he naturally could not be unclear about the deployment of the troops in the capital.
Although the Beijing Camp has undergone several rectifications, the overall change is not much. In the early years of Zhengde, the Beijing Camp was reorganized into the 12th Regiment Battalion, and the full plan is only the 12th Regiment Battalion.
There are many elderly, weak, sick and disabled among them. In fact, the 12th Regiment Battalion has only 50,000 or 60,000 people in total.
This can be seen from the troops that the capital could use when Lu Wenyang raised his troops to clear the king's side.
Even so, the people in the Jingying camp were already a big trouble for King Ning. Now Liu Yangzheng actually told him that the reorganization of the Jingying camp was to form the 18th Regiment Camp.
One regiment camp has ten thousand people, eighteen regiment camps, that is eighteen thousand people. If they are all young and strong, even if they are new recruits, eighteen thousand soldiers, and the dangers of the capital, just thinking about it, King Ning couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
"Is he crazy to kill the eunuch? Are the eunuchs who are killing the heavens? Do the court let the eunuchs act recklessly and the national treasury be empty? How do he set up a Beijing camp and how can he support nearly 200,000 soldiers?"
King Ning almost roared.
He privately raised only 20,000 to 30,000, which made it difficult for the royal family's finances to support, so he had to exploit the people in Nanchang.
The court did have state taxes as support, but the national treasury was not sufficient. The consumption of the 180,000 army was not a year or two, but had to be supported. This was definitely a heavy burden for the court, and it might crush the court's finances.
With a light cough, Liu Yangzheng glanced at King Ning and said, "Have you forgotten the huge amount of gold and silver wealth obtained by Chu Yi's eunuch's house search several times?"
King Ning snorted coldly and said, "I don't know, it's not that part of it belongs to the Ministry of Revenue and part of it enters the royal treasury. According to my understanding of civil and military officials, it is absolutely impossible for them to provide military pay for a long time, not to mention that the court also needs gold and silver to manage the local area. As for the gold and silver that enter the royal treasury, would Zhengde's son still take it out of the inner treasury?"
The private treasury of Ning Wang's mansion was deposited by millions of taels of silver. These were the family assets accumulated by several generations of Ning Wang for hundreds of years. In order to seize the throne, Ning Wang transferred out millions of taels of silver from the private treasury to raise private soldiers and felt extremely painful.
He judged others by oneself, so King Ning did not believe that Zhu Houzhao took out the gold and silver that had entered the royal treasury to support Chu Yi in supporting the Beijing army.
Liu Yangzheng smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to the news from our people, this time the reorganization of the army, the court took out as much as five million taels of silver. Among them, the Ministry of Revenue gritted its teeth and released part of it, and the emperor also allocated part from the inner treasury..."
"Bang!"
King Ning slapped the table with a slap, shouting with anger: "All civil and military officials mist me, Zhengde's son mist me, and the eunuch's thief mist me!"
"Your Highness calmed down. The court's princes were forced to support Chu Yi's fierce power. Zhu Houzhao was united with Chu Yi's monarch and ministers, just like the same person. But your highness has the support of Jiangnan clans, so why are you afraid?"
