Chapter 142: Northwest Smoke and Dust Transmission of Beijing Division

Shi Heng's death, although it was fast, took a month to reach Zhu Qizhen's hands.

When Zhu Qizhen saw the news, he was dealing with the problem of the great drought in the northwest.

He also ordered the cabinet to make proper arrangements for transporting grain and grass from Henan to Shaanxi, and asked how the road from Chang'an to Xuzhou was being built.

Although there is a severe drought in the northwest this year. But in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, there was nothing surprising.

After all, there are often droughts in the northwest, and on the whole, after Yu Qian's rectification in the northwest, water conservancy projects have been restored, and people's livelihood has also recovered.

Today's drought is slightly less than before.

In addition, now the border defense line of the Ming Dynasty has been pushed to Ili, and the northwest is already the hinterland, and many garrisons have been reduced, which has also reduced the pressure on the local people.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen is more concerned about the construction of the northwest gallop road, as long as the gallop road in and out of the northwest is built, the difficulty of transporting grain from the Central Plains to the northwest will be reduced.

In the future, there will be no more natural and man-made disasters, and there will be a way.

When Zhu Qizhen opened the Northwest Emergency News, he saw that Shi Heng was no longer there. He couldn't hold the music in his hand for a while, and fell to the ground with a "pop".

For a while, Zhu Qizhen thought of Shi Heng's everything. Shi Heng's courage, Shi Heng's achievements, Shi Heng's recklessness, Shi Heng's domineering, Shi Heng's tyranny. And so on and so forth.

This helped him a lot, and it also brought him great trouble, he was both the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the troublemaker of the Ming Dynasty, and he was actually gone.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't believe it.

Although Zhu Qizhen wanted to execute Shi Heng several times in his heart, Shi Heng could not be called a pure minister. But when he heard Shi Heng's death, Zhu Qizhen was also a little happy.

He was stunned for a while before picking it up.

took a closer look, but saw that Shi Heng died hunting tigers. Immediately scolded: "I can't change this problem in my life, and I can't use my brain before doing things." ”

I just scolded twice, but I couldn't scold anymore.

Because of Shi Heng's death, Zhu Qizhen was wary of Shi Heng. It also melted in an instant.

Remembering only his goodness.

Shi Heng took the lead in various wars, just look at Shi Heng's battles, every battle seems to be a battle to the death, but he can survive in death.

No matter how many selfish thoughts Shi Heng had in his heart, but he was always loyal to Da Ming until the last moment, even if he had a lot of black information, but now there is nothing to say.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Summoning the order, the Ministry of Rites will discuss the mourning after the death of the Duke of Zhongguo, and I will posthumously crown the king of the county, so that they can choose a beautiful name." ”

After Zhu Qizhen approved this excerpt, he didn't have any intention to review other excerpts, so he put it down for the time being.

But he didn't want to wait a while, Yang Hong and Guo Deng jointly asked to see.

Zhu Qizhen was a little puzzled, and asked Huai En to pass it on.

After the two saluted, Yang Hong said, "Your Majesty, Shi Heng went?" ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Not bad." He secretly said in his heart: "Is he trying to turn over Shi Heng's old account?" "Zhu Qizhen naturally won't allow this thing.

Although Shi Heng had a lot of mistakes during his lifetime, there were still many bitter masters. But Zhu Qizhen must consider the political implications.

Today, Shi Heng is dead, turning over Shi Heng's old accounts. In the future, when others are gone, will they be able to turn over other people's old accounts?

After all, on the power stage of the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor himself, no one can occupy it alone, but you sing, and I will take the stage.

No matter how many people are indispensable, there is a time to quit.

If you really have to check carefully, who doesn't have much black material on his body, even if it is really white and flawless, can't he have it. After all, who is in the hands of the power, under Miki, why can't you ask for it?

Therefore, this example, Zhu Qizhen must not open it.

No matter what Shi Heng did during his lifetime, if people die and the debts are gone, unless Shi Heng's descendants make a big mistake in the future, implicate Shi Heng, and seize Shi Heng's mourning, Shi Heng will be the king of the Ming Dynasty, although the title has not yet been decided.

The same will be true for all ministers in the future.

When you have the ability to be on stage, you will overturn him. Otherwise, as long as you step down, no matter how big the matter is, you can't be involved.

It's just that Yang Hong is such a transparent person. Naturally, this is not the case he said, he said: "Your Majesty, as soon as Shi Heng goes, the situation in the northwest may be unstable, and the minister thinks that the imperial court should prepare early." ”

Zhu Qizhen's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly said in his heart: "Why didn't I think of it." ”

However, during this period of time, Zhu Qizhen was focused on the implementation of the new policy, and he was a little negligent about the surrounding strategic threats.

At this moment, he was reminded by Yang Hongyi. Suddenly, I felt that the situation in the northwest was not very clear.

There is time when one person can prosper the country, and one person can lose the country.

Ban Chao is in the Western Regions, the Western Regions belong to the Han Dynasty, and Ban Chao returned to the country, the thirty-six countries are not Han vassals, and Shi Heng's prestige today is much stronger than the original Ban Chao.

Shi Heng doesn't have a good reputation in the Western Regions, if you really want to talk about it, that reputation can make children stop crying.

But the nomads have always been afraid of power and not virtuous. Shi Heng is here, so he is naturally afraid of Shi Heng and does not dare to act rashly, but now Shi Heng is gone.

Not to mention, the entire Western Regions was almost voluntarily given up by the Tile Thorns. It was not a bloody battle, although the imperial court made a lot of arrangements after that.

But the fundamental strategy is to rule according to customs.

Retain a lot of power from the local nobility. It's a hidden thing.

Shi Heng's Dinghai Divine Needle is gone, and the situation in the Western Regions is a little confusing. The risks have increased dramatically.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What does Chang Guogong think should be done? ”

Yang Hong immediately said:

"Order Shi Biao to go to Ili at night and inherit Shi Heng's position, so that General Zhengxi will be in charge of the Northern Xinjiang Capital."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Okay." Just do it. ”

Although Shi Heng's uncle and nephew successively followed, it seemed that they wanted to make Yili the private domain of the Shi family, but it was also a last resort.

The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation, and to stabilize the situation, the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Division, that is, the Ili garrison, must be stabilized.

Even if Zhu Qizhen didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that factions in the army had always existed.

Now, if you choose another general, go to Ili. The newly arrived generals will definitely make a series of personnel adjustments, which is inevitable, and no one can use Shi Heng's old people all.

Otherwise he will be hollowed out.

However, at the turbulent juncture of the Western Regions, it is too dangerous to have any more personnel struggles.

And Shi Biao is Shi Heng's nephew and the backbone of the Shi family's faction. Shi Biao also followed Shi Heng to fight for a long time, but when Shi Heng was stationed outside, Shi Biao was transferred, which was to avoid suspicion.

Now let Shi Biao go back, he can pass smoothly as quickly as possible. As for the future, it is not too late to do it slowly in the future.

It's just that the order has just come down here.

Jinyiwei commanded Yun Lei to enter the Qianqing Palace almost like breaking into the palace, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Ju Yanwei commanded Manjun to rebel and kill Ju Yanwei, and he is ready to gather tens of thousands of horsemen and prepare to go south. ”

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback and said, "What's going on?" ”

Yang Hong's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "Your Majesty, Manjun is from Guyuan Tuda, after the Western Regions have been decided, the imperial court will transfer troops from the northwest to the grassland, and the Han people are unwilling to go, so they send more Tuda from all over Shaanxi. ”

Zhu Qizhen knew about this.

The Northwest is a multi-ethnic place, and the Mongols are not in the minority. Many of the guards were made up of Mongol vassals. It's like Wu Jin's Wu family, their family also has a grassland in the northwest.

In the Western Regions, a large area of grassland belonged to the imperial court.

Zhu Qizhen naturally has to send people to occupy it, otherwise, these places will be occupied by various nomadic tribes, and after a long time, a regime that threatens the Ming Dynasty may be derived.

But the Han people went to live on the grassland, naturally they were unwilling. Therefore, send more of these Tuda to the grassland.

Juyanwei is located, and the Mongolian people call it also a set. When Jiang Gui attacked Adai Khan, he fought a battle here. And Juyan is the old name of the Han Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen's general principle of place names in the Western Regions is to change them to the old names, so the Mongols' Yi Naiji became the Ming Dynasty's Ju Yanwei.

Yang Hong said: "The minister also heard that the people below have some complaints, and they are unwilling to go to the grassland to defend. ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly, and said, "How is this possible?" Is the policy given to them by the imperial court bad? It's just that Zhu Qizhen immediately came back to his senses.

Why is it impossible?
