Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Zhu Youjian gave himself a holiday on the grounds of physical discomfort. He didn't want to be lazy, but just watching the Donglin Party bickering all day long was a waste of time. He might as well spend some time doing other things.

Of course, the court affairs could not be interrupted, so he still arranged for a few old eunuchs to be on duty and collect the memorials submitted by the officials.

Not to mention, in just one morning, several old eunuchs received several thick stacks of memorials, which were piled on the Long Case, waiting for his review.

Zhu Youjian could guess that most of the memorials from the officials were impeached by Ruan Dacheng, the deputy minister of the cabinet. The charges were various, including assaulting colleagues, being unbecoming and so on.

The other part is nothing more than asking for additional expenditures of various kinds, including military expenditures, treating him like a silly son of a landlord, using all kinds of deception and exaggeration, which is simply a disguised threat.

The remaining very small parts are all messy little things, and they are also all kinds of deception. Emperor Chongzhen, who laid off his imperial guards, was deceived like this, at the cost of his own life and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also the possibility of impeaching Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, for not doing his job well, working hard, and refusing to save people at the risk of death.

Sun Chuanting led his army to Zhuxian Town. Except for the victory report of annihilating Li Zhun's troops in the first battle, there was no news at all. Gao Mingheng, the governor of Kaifeng, and Zhu Gongzhen, the king of Zhou, desperately sent messengers to the court to cry for help.

The civil servants, who had always been good at talking, did not know the specific situation on the front line. They just jointly signed a letter urging Emperor Chongzhen to issue an edict and force Sun Chuanting to send troops as soon as possible to defeat Li Zicheng's army and break the siege.

Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that although Sun Chuanting stood still in Zhuxian Town, it was actually the best and most stable move in the current war situation.

Li Zicheng should have felt the strong threat from the flanks, and he did not dare to be careless at all. He could not attack the closed city with peace of mind, and had to allocate part of his troops to defend Sun Chuanting's 300,000 elite army.

It is precisely because of this that although Kaifeng City is besieged by the rebels and seems to be in danger, it is actually safe. Whether Kaifeng City will fall depends on whether Sun Chuanting is defeated?

As for the current war situation, the official army and the rebel army have temporarily formed a confrontation. The red lady who avenges her husband and leads the army to kill the rebel army may be the variable that breaks the deadlock.

After Zhu Youjian and Chen Yuanyuan practiced for three rounds in the morning, they got up to shower, change clothes, eat two bowls of black-bone chicken porridge, and then ran to watch the new army training.

As for Chen Yuanyuan, who was a sparring partner, her body was so weak that she could only continue to lie down and rest.

When the other concubines heard the news, they were all envious and envious. Concubine Chen was the only one who doted on the harem.

In fact, although Zhu Youjian stayed at Yuanhua Pavilion most of the time, he spent most of his time dealing with official matters. When he was too busy, he asked Chen Yuanyuan to help review the memorials. He was exhausted and had no time to do anything.

As the master of the harem, Queen Zhou knew this, so she ignored the slanders of other concubines.

It was precisely because of Queen Zhou's magnanimity and wisdom that Zhu Youjian's harem did not stage one scene after another of palace battles due to jealousy and other reasons.

Everything goes well with the family, but what men fear most is that there will be commotion at home.

salute.

Under the protection of the shadow guards, Zhu Youjian entered the military camp of the First Royal Regiment. The officers on duty quickly raised their chests and raised their hands in salute.

According to military orders, military camps are important military areas. Even generals who are in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as they are not members of the army they belong to, must show their IDs to enter. In special circumstances, they also need to give permission.

But the officers and soldiers on duty all recognized Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youjian did not hide his identity. He was very conspicuous in the uniform of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces with a white gold star.

Zhu Youjian responded with a military salute, and then waved his hand to indicate to the officers on duty that they did not need to report and continue to be on duty.

According to the old system, both officers and soldiers must bow and salute when they see a superior.

Zhu Youjian directly changed it to the military salute of the original Chinese Empire in time and space, which was simple, serious and mighty. The reason was not only that he disliked the verbosity of the old military salute, but also that he wanted to improve the social status of soldiers.

The Ming Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, and the status of civil servants was so high that even the common people despised soldiers. After many years of inheritance, it has become a bad habit.

He also knows that it is difficult to change something that has been passed down for many years. He can only change it slowly and little by little. Time will change everything.
