My Daming New Empire

Page 570

But under the high platform in front of Zhu Di, on the platform on the second floor, there is one prince missing, and only one grandson is sitting alone on the right.

Although today's Zhu Zhanji is not high-spirited, but compared with four days ago when he lowered his head, today he raised his head high and stared at the ministers in the audience.

Right in front of him is the camp of honorable generals.Hundreds of people held their breath and stood there looking ahead without making a sound.

In front of him on the left is the camp of civil servants, but they just happened to be able to look directly at Zhu Zhanji who was diagonally ahead, and glanced at Zhu Zhanji from time to time.

Although they prefer Zhu Gaochi, the prince, compared to the iron-blooded Zhu Di, they are still willing to accept this grandson of the God of Wealth who likes to reason.

Although Zhu Zhanji has never participated in political affairs, it does not mean that everyone is unfamiliar with him.

Since the Eastern Expedition to Dongying, Zhu Zhanji has already begun to make his own voice in the political arena of Ming Dynasty.Although he is not as respected as Zhu Gaochi, he treats everyone equally.

Moreover, he can make money and do things, he is more like a curious child, always focusing on things other than Daming.

Today, he founded the two banks of Daming, and these two banks have become institutions that all Daming people cannot leave.

The official salaries of Ming Dynasty were paid on time, including the rapid development of commerce, mainly because of the role of banks.

He is not as bloodthirsty as Zhu Di. All the ministers who have come into contact with him may not say they like him, but he likes to be reasonable, which is highly respected by officials.

Dealing with such a grandson is better than dealing with an emperor like Zhu Di who doesn't like reasoning.

As for Zhu Gaochi, when he has been eliminated, not many people think about him except those who have completely entrusted their lives to him.

People are realistic, not to mention this era when standing on the wrong team is likely to lose your life.

This time the Great Court will be an additional addition. If it is not a big festival, there will only be two Great Courts in a month.

The military general system in the early Ming Dynasty had a lot of autonomy. Except for the work of military logistics support, because it involved the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, it needed to be discussed in the court, and military affairs were basically out of the hands of civilian officials.

Also because of this, many nobles don't even bother to come to the court meeting, they only need to attend the meeting of the five army governor's mansion.

It is also due to this degradation that there are fewer and fewer generals who are political.A few decades later, the military generals had almost lost any political power after the civil fortress change, and became vassals of civil servants.

Everyone is very clear that today's Grand Court Meeting is mainly held for Zhu Di's westward expedition.

When all the officials were on standby, Jian Yi directly handed over the initiative to Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War.

It is still the procedure of the previous few days. If the imperial court wants to be a teacher, it needs to prove its righteousness and truth.

However, because the envoys of various countries had already met once a few days ago and submitted the letter of request for help, so this time, the envoys of the northwest countries were not summoned.

Zhu Zhanji focused his attention on a group of clans and nobles, who would never appear here on weekdays.

Especially the King of Han, who had already become a vassal and was imprisoned in Le'an, was deprived of the title of King of Han. Even if he entered Fengtian Hall today, he was only placed behind the nobles.

Although Zhu Zhanji knew yesterday that he wanted to go west, he didn't reveal what Zhu Di was thinking.

No matter whether it was Wang Yan or Yang Rong, they didn't dare to reveal Zhu Di's intentions without Zhu Di's permission.

The main reason is that Zhu Zhanji felt that there was no need to put pressure on them, otherwise they would also tell him Zhu Di's intentions.

No matter how Zhu Di arranges it, it is just a little wave in the tide and cannot affect the tide.

The hall was silent, only Wang Yan's voice sounded sentence by sentence, and the voice of the messenger eunuch spread throughout Fengtian Hall.

"I hereby appoint Marquis Zheng Heng of Wu'an as the chief officer of the former battalion of the North Route Army..."

"I hereby order Huang Fu, Minister of the Ministry of War, to be the commander-in-chief of the rear battalion of the North Route Army..."

"I hereby order Meng Ji, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, to be the military supervisor of the North Route Army..."

"Hereby appoint Longping Marquis Zhang Xin as the commander-in-chief of the former battalion of the South Route Army..."

"I hereby order Zhongwuhou Liu Jiang to be the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army Navy..."

"I hereby order Mu Xin, the captain-in-law, to be the admiral of the former battalion of the South Route Army..."

"I hereby appoint Zhang Chang, the left governor of the military governor's mansion, as the admiral of the Beijing army..."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Di to transfer his uncle out and entrust him with such a heavy responsibility.

This should be to prevent yourself from being too young to do anything, and if you have power in your hands, vigorously eliminate dissidents.

"I hereby order Fu'anzi Huang Yuan to be the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army's Rear Army..."

If the appointment of Zhang Chang as the admiral of the Beijing Army is still understandable, the appointment of Huang Yuan, who is not yet 30 years old, as the commander-in-chief of the rear battalion is beyond the expectations of most people.

Not to mention that he was a viscount riding on many marquises and earls, even his age was surprising.

Many ministers turned their astonished eyes to Yang Rong, the chief assistant of the cabinet. In the cabinet, even if Yang Rong cannot be reused, there is still a Jin Youzi who is proficient in military affairs.

Why didn't these two people use it, but used a little-known Huang Yuan?

This Huang Fu, Huang Yuan and his son, one civil and one military, respectively served as the commander-in-chief of the rear battalion of the two armies of the north and the south.

Duke Mu Sheng of the State of Qian wrote letters several times, wanting to be Zhu Di's vanguard and participate in the Western Expedition, but Zhu Di did not agree, because he was afraid that his achievements would overwhelm the Lord, and there would be no rewards.

It is really surprising that the Huang family father and son are so reused now.

But Yang Rong and Jin Youzi both had smiles on their faces, and they didn't feel the slightest sense of loss at being abandoned by Zhu Di.Everyone soon understood that these two were left by Zhu Di to assist the grandson.

In addition to the chief soldiers and admirals of the northern and southern armies, dozens of earls led various ministries and served as commanders.

This time, the South Route Army alone had 34 Jingwei troops, plus 15 musketeers and [-] artillerymen from the Shenji Battalion, totaling more than [-] people.

In addition, a total of 5 mountain troops were mobilized from the southern guards, making up a total of 20 troops.

In addition, the navy and the internal supervision mobilized more than 1000 ships and nearly 10 soldiers.

However, the navy will not participate in the war this time, and is mainly responsible for logistics and transportation.Therefore, there are basically no combatants among the personnel transferred by the navy, and they mainly use boats and gang leaders.

In addition, all the subordinate countries of Ming Dynasty will accompany the army except the princes of other countries, and each country will also send envoys.

This is Ming's attempt to show off its power, so no country is allowed to refuse.

Although Zhu Gaochi was not able to directly lead the army, he was left by Zhu Di in the tent of the Chinese army to wait on his left and right. As long as he didn't mess around this time, he would probably regain the throne when he came back.

Although most of the South Route Army is elite, Zhu Zhanji is not worried that Zhu Gaoxu will be able to seize military power.

Not to mention that the family members of all the nobles are in the Ming Dynasty, and they have to go through Zhu Zhanji's navy to come back.Even if Zhu Di had an accident, Zhu Zhanji didn't believe that Zhu Gaoxu could win people over.

Of course, necessary precautions are still in place.

Zhu Zhanji has conveyed his order through Huang Yuan, asking the soldiers of the Habayashi Guards of each army to pay close attention to the situation of each army.

In addition to these people, Ming also had a special army, which was the world's first "air force".
