Zhu Linmiao said: "The Yang Pavilion Department can send people to Chongyang to build the Tang Palace, and you can't slack off." also waited for the situation in Huguang to be more stable, so that the old queen mother and the king of Tang could enter Chu. ”

Yang Tinglin raised his eyes and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and he hesitated a little and said: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence, I don't know if I should say it." ”

"Yang Gebu said it directly."

Yang Tinglin looked at his toes and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when the Tang King becomes an adult, if it is used by those who have a heart, I am afraid that it will ...... The minister thought that it was appropriate to keep the Tang King in Beijing. Even if you want to let the Tang King become a vassal, the old queen mother must not leave the palace......"

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "Do you want me to set up 'Nangong'?" ”

In that year, the Tumubao Incident, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured, and Daizong Zhu Qiyu succeeded him. In order to cause civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen was released to return to Beijing, and Zhu Qiyu was worried that his brother would seek to seize the throne he had just arrived, so he imprisoned him in the South Palace of the Forbidden City.

Yang Tinglin hurriedly knelt down, and even said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

You must know that although Yingzong was imprisoned in Nangong for seven years, he was successfully restored in the end and abolished Daizong.

Zhu Linmiao held him up, "I know that Yang Gebu is worried about the stability of the imperial court, but I believe in King Tang." Yang Gebu just did it. ”

In fact, Zhu Linmiao has decided to gradually abolish the vassal king's protectors, and the safety of the vassal king will be the responsibility of the local police in the future, and it is basically impossible to reproduce the situation of Jingjing.

In addition, now that Emperor Hongguang and King Lu are still in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if Dolgon suddenly lets them back, the two of them can see Zhu Linyuan, who is living in peace, to be a vassal king with confidence. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to lock up three "former emperors" in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Linmiao has sufficient confidence to lead Daming to achieve prosperity. There are no ordinary people who have no life to instigate, and with the Jinyi guards watching from the side, there is no possibility for the vassal kings to do things at all.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Yang Tinglin had no choice but to respond: "Minister, obey the order." ”

"By the way, since the Yang Pavilion Department is here, then I just want to tell you something." Zhu Linmiao handed him a secret report, "Now that Wan Yuan Ji has taken control of Wuchang, Zhai Shiqi and Yang Zhan are besieging Changsha. Only more than 10,000 people left in the Huguang Rebellion Army fled to Baoqing Mansion, and Qin Zuoming's troops had already pursued them, and they would soon be pacified. ”

Yang Tinglin was shocked, "Half a month ago, the rebel army was still very arrogant...... It was destroyed so quickly! "To say that the secrecy work of the military department is really good, Wenchen still thinks that the war in Huguang is tight.

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "What if I tell you that Huguang is always under the control of the imperial court?" ”

Yang Tinglin was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, bowed down and sighed: "Your Majesty has strategized, the blessing of the world!" ”

"On the north shore of Duoduo Chen's soldiers, a big battle is about to break out. After the Yang Pavilion Department returns, it is necessary to make preparations as soon as possible, and when the war is over, it will immediately spread the word about the victory of the vast number of lakes, and the morale of our army and people will definitely be greatly boosted. ”

"Yes."

"Also, you give me a review of the officials of Huguang Liupin and above, and all those related to He Tengjiao will be dismissed. Draw up a list of vacancies. ”

"Yes." Yang Tinglin responded, but his eyelids jumped violently. Where is there anything in Huguang that has nothing to do with He Tengjiao, doesn't this have to replace the entire Huguang officials?! Our son of heaven is really generous!

Zhu Linmiao has her own thoughts about this. Huguang has been occupied by He Tengjiao's domain for a long time, and it is easy for officials here to unite the party in the future, and take advantage of the fact that there is a large army in Huguang Town in the imperial court now, so as to quickly cut through the chaos, so as to minimize the harm and realize the smooth flow of Huguang's government decree as soon as possible.

"Let Zhang Canghai also rush to Wuchang as soon as possible, and be sure to prepare potatoes and sweet potato seeds before spring ploughing, and spread them out and plant them throughout Huguang."

Huguang is the combination of Hunan and Hubei in later generations, with a huge geographical area, and the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes here is extremely important to improve the grain production of the Ming Dynasty.

"Minister, obey the order."

After Yang Tinglin left, Zhu Linmiao drove for more than an hour, and saw Yu Xin and others waiting outside the camp.

The generals stood on the side of the road and saluted, Yu Xin stepped forward to welcome Zhu Linmiao and got out of the car, and signaled to the Chinese army's big tent: "Your Majesty is tired of traveling and driving, can you rest in the tent first?" ”

"It's just a half-day ride, and it's not uncommon to ride a horse for a few days during a war." Zhu Linmiao strode towards the camp and asked Yu Xindao, "Are you ready for the military parade?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Zhu Linmiao's trip, the parade to boost morale is only one of the purposes, there are important matters behind, and he waved his hand at the moment: "Okay, start the parade immediately." ”

"Yes!"

On the viewing platform made of wooden frames, Zhu Linmiao sat upright in the center, Yu Xin and Zhang Jiayu accompanied him on both sides, and other senior officers stood respectfully in the back according to their ranks.

Zhu Linmiao glanced at the black queue in the distance, and instructed Yu Xindao: "Let's start." ”

"Yes!"

Yu Xin took two steps forward and said loudly: "In the first year of Hanxing, the Ming Field Army, Jiangning Dayue begins!" ”

A herald shouted, "Yes! Immediately, two "fireworks", one red and one blue, flew straight into the sky.

Zhang Jiayu whispered to Zhu Linmiao on the side: "Your Majesty, according to your previous plan, now the heralds above the even level have been equipped with this 'signal flare'. After several months of training, the various ministries were greatly impressed by the way they issued orders, even if they were far apart, and the military orders could be smoothly obtained. ”

After Jurong's victory, Zhu Linmiao formulated a series of plans to enhance combat capability, and this signal flare was one of them. However, now that the Daming Field Army has a mature management, command, and training mechanism, he is only responsible for the design of this improvement plan, but the specific implementation is handed over to Yu Xin, Zhang Jiayu and others for implementation.

Zhu Linmiao looked at the several "iron pipes" on the herald's waist and asked, "How high can you shoot?" Is it stable and reliable? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the short tube can shoot to twenty-three or four zhang, and the long tube is more than ten zhang high. So far, there has been no trial in the army, and there has been no precedent of unsuccessful casting. ”

In fact, as the birthplace of fireworks, China has a very long history of using signal flares, but in the past, flares had low launch heights, poor stability, and no complete set of command systems.

Zhu Linmiao designed a very "simple" conical projectile, with a rubber cap and gunpowder cap, and then fired with an iron tube. Not only can it shoot to great heights, so that the army can see it from miles away, but it is also windproof and rainproof, and can be used in any weather.

Most importantly, he also designed a whole set of command "codes" - with five to six flares, military orders including time, direction, and mission type can be transmitted. In the era when the command was basically based on the flag, it was like being equipped with a radio, especially when fighting in a large corps, the command efficiency and distance increased by dozens of times!

When the flares rose to the clouds, more than a dozen cannons rang out in all directions, and the neat infantry phalanx walked towards the viewing platform from the west side in turn.

Zhang Jiayu "explained" to Zhu Linmiao: "Your Majesty, at the front are the first, second, and fifth battalions of the Dragon Guard, and they are also the three most elite battalions of the whole army. At present, they have all switched to a type of infantry gun, half of the soldiers are equipped with cuirasses, and the rest are equipped with stainless steel cotton armor. ”
