Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, Zhu Youzhen doesn't understand this truth, he has already received such an education, and many civil and military ministers in the court have also specially admonished, warning that the Ming Dynasty is a very large place, things are very complicated, and they need to be patient.

Zhu Youzhen knew very well that when he ascended the throne, he was faced with a situation full of holes, in the imperial court, Wei Zhongxian and the ministers of the court and the central government were-for-tat, and did not want to let each other go, resulting in a miasma in the court, even he, the prince who was about to become the emperor, was almost plotted by Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, and disasters were repeated in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and large-scale rogues began to appear in Shaanxi, and the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong became increasingly arrogant.

He decisively cleaned up Wei Zhongxian, including Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, limited the strength of the eunuchs, and reused the ministers of the court, the Ming court had a prosperous situation in a short period of time, but unfortunately the blow soon came, after the ministers of the court and the central government grasped power, it was not as good as he imagined, many civil and military ministers fought for power and profit, cultivated their own strength, strengthened their own strength, the confrontation between the imperial power and the vassal power became more and more intense, disasters around the country were more frequent, and the people were struggling on the verge of death, The scale of the rebellion became larger and larger, so that it could no longer be controlled, and the Houjin Tartars also took the opportunity to enter the pass and plunder, threatening the capital every time.

There is no silver in the imperial court, and even if Zhu Youzhen has great ambitions, there is no way to achieve it.

After selling the ginseng and other items in the palace and collecting a pitiful amount of silver, Zhu Youzhen was even discouraged, thinking about setting up the crown prince, and if he couldn't bear it, let Huang Taiji succeed to the throne as soon as possible.

The emergence of a turnaround. It was still on Su Tiancheng's body, after Su Tiancheng became the magistrate of Jiangning Ying, he vigorously rectified the city and the city, so that the imperial court had a stable source of income, and then, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Ying. began to exterminate the rogues, and achieved a series of major victories, and the rogues gradually declined. The most important thing is that the imperial court basically does not need to allocate any military salaries to the Jiangning battalion, and Su Tiancheng relies on his own strength to maintain the operation of the Jiangning battalion.

Later, after the Liukou was exterminated, Su Tiancheng immediately moved to Liaodong to deal with the Houjin Tartars. The effect is the same very good, since the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Houjin Tartars no longer dare to enter the Guannei easily, and Su Tiancheng stabilized the situation in the grassland, and the mutual market between Anning Fort and Jingbian has become another important source of income for the imperial court.

It's a pity that when Houjin Tartar suffered a heavy blow and saw that it was possible to be annihilated, Su Tiancheng's rebellion happened. This is tantamount to ruining the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen never understood why Su Tian would do this. He has also reflected many times that he and Su Tiancheng get along very well, and he has always trusted Su Tiancheng. According to this line of thinking, Zhu Youzhen finally believes that everything is Su Tiancheng's problem. Su Tiancheng had long thought about rebelling, and the reason why he was reluctant to stay in the court was actually to secretly gather strength.

Zhu Youzhen rarely reflects on the flaws in his own character, or that this is a bystander who is a fan of the authorities.

Zhu Youzhen grew up in a different environment, in fact, he was able to become an emperor. Or because of Zhu Youxiao's health, otherwise he would have been a king of faith all his life, not much different from other vassal kings. It is precisely because of this growth environment that Zhu Youzhen's personality has been distorted, he has seen too much deceit, too much calculation, and even more unusual domineering, in his heart, after mastering power, what he can absolutely trust is himself.

As for governing the country, Zhu Youzhen does not have much ability, the emperor does not require special wisdom, as long as he can know and use people, he can also become a generation of Ming Jun, Zhu Youzhen's problem is in this regard, he often doubts the ministers below, even the most trusted cabinet chief, in this case, how can he really know and employ people.

This is the tragedy of Zhu Youzhen, and it is also the tragedy of many dynasties, Zhu Youzhen's character is not bad, he is by no means a mediocre emperor, but Yuanmu's thinking of begging for fish makes him and his goal far from each other, and the distance is getting farther and farther away.

In fact, from the moment Zhu Youzhen began to reuse eunuchs again, this change appeared.

Zhu Youzhen, who was angry, didn't feel it at all, or didn't think about these problems at all.

The news from Zhejiang and Fujian came in a steady stream, until Liu Zeqing's 100,000 troops were all wiped out, and Zhejiang and Fujian were all under Su Tiancheng's command.

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youzhen's face was pale, showing a violent emotion.

Zhou Yanru led many cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu and the left and right envoys of the Imperial Procuratorate, all the time standing under His Royal Highness, they didn't dare to say a word, they knew what the Emperor wanted to think, but they couldn't come up with a real solution.

“…… I have so many civil and military ministers, what are they doing, such a big thing has happened, except for insulting Su Tiancheng, can I come up with any solution, I don't have any hope, I am still ready to bow down to Su Tiancheng and let Su Tiancheng be the emperor......"

In the main hall, only Zhu Youzhen's almost roaring voice was there, but this roaring voice seemed so weak and so strong.

The temper finally came out, Zhu Youzhen's face still did not change, and he stared at the people who bowed their heads.

"I want you all to look up, I need to hear you say what."

Everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Zhou Yanru, at this time, Zhou Yanru, as the first assistant of the cabinet, could not avoid the problem.

Zhou Yanru has long lost his previous self-confidence, he never thought that he had worked hard to become the first assistant of the cabinet again, he originally thought that it was under the situation of a very good situation, but the current situation is even worse than the situation in the early years of Chongzhen, at that time, the rogue was in turmoil, after all, it was not a climate, and the strength was not very strong.

When the news that the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing was exterminated by the Jiangning battalion reached the capital, it caused not only an uproar, but even a terrible silence, which was the feeling of a catastrophe, Yang Sichang and Lu Shanji successively did things for Su Tiancheng, Zhejiang Governor Li Juesi, and Fujian Governor Song Yihe also expressed their submission one after another.

The situation in the capital has not changed in the slightest, the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang has expanded indefinitely, the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK have suffered restrictions, and the emperor does not believe many ministers at all, thinking that the eunuchs and Jinyiwei around him are truly loyal, so that many civil and military ministers simply do not speak, so as not to be noticed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and are directly arrested in prison. The difference is that the strength of Donglin Academy is not only to condemn and abuse Su Tiancheng, but also to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, you must know that it is useless to say that it is useless to say with his mouth, so Jinyiwei and Dongchang began to focus on Donglin Academy, fortunately, Qian Qianyi is still a cabinet scholar, and he will not bow to Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

The cabinet has already discussed several times, in the face of such a situation, how to deal with it, but the opinions can not be unified, in fact, it is impossible to come up with a good way, and the final discussion is to continue to recruit troops into Zhejiang and Fujian to exterminate Su Tiancheng, and Qian Qianyi put forward, it is necessary to curb the strength of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Of course, the emperor is not interested in such a suggestion, even fools can know the Tao, and at this time, he should mobilize a large army to exterminate Su Tiancheng.

The potential danger is very clear, Su Tiancheng occupied Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian and other places, Nanzhili has been surrounded in the middle, not expected, the next step Su Tiancheng's spearhead will be directly aimed at Nanzhili, Nanzhili is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, if it is occupied by Su Tiancheng, it also indicates that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is shaken.

This situation is slowly becoming a reality, and this is a torrent that no one can stop.

Zhou Yanru spoke with difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this critical moment, it is still necessary to mobilize the army and exterminate Su Tiancheng......"

"I know that Lu Dao wants to exterminate Su Tiancheng, I see that the cabinet can't come up with any good solutions, so I will arrange it directly, and immediately draft an order, and entitle the Zuo Liangyu military department stationed in Wuchang, and order him to lead the army, stationed in Nanzhili, encircle and suppress Su Tiancheng, and encircle and suppress Su Tiancheng, and enclose the imperial envoy title of Huang Degong stationed in Jiangxi, lead the army, enter Nanzhili, encircle and suppress Su Tiancheng, and Sun Tai, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, lead the Nanjing Jingying army, encircle and suppress Su Tiancheng......"

Zhu Youzhen's arrangement surprised everyone, this time the mobilization is 300,000 troops, not to mention the grain and grass needed, the key is who will command the 300,000 army, where it is stationed in Nanzhili, how to attack Su Tiancheng, etc., a series of specific problems, someone needs to coordinate, but unfortunately this coordination task, or the candidate for the commander-in-chief, no one will take the initiative to fight for it, everyone knows very well, this is probably an unwinnable battle, think about the courage of the Jiangning battalion, Think about the Jiangning Battalion's outstanding military exploits over the years, and think about the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing, which was completely wiped out in just a few days, and the rest of the army, how much better will the result be.

Zhu Youzhen made arrangements in a fit of anger with anger, he didn't think of so many specific problems, which is enough to show that both the court and himself are in a mess. (To be continued......)
