Chapter 480 The Ming Dynasty with internal and external troubles
Chapter 479: The Ming Dynasty with internal and external troubles
Chen Liu, the former prefect''s palace, is now the temporary palace of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
There are big men who are aggressive outside and the governor is eyeing them covetously. In addition, the entire army of more than one million troops is wiped out, and 90% of their wealth is left in Luoyang...
Although the founding of the Ming Dynasty is inspiring, the form it has to face is not optimistic. After all, even if you have the support of the people under your command, it is impossible to produce weapons, armor and other materials out of thin air.
The Yellow Turbans could expand so quickly before, and it was entirely due to the huge financial and material resources of the aristocratic family, so that there was a pathological abnormal expansion speed.
Now, the Kanto family has no ability to continue to transfusion blood to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has to face the embarrassing situation where there are only people in the army but no weapons and equipment.
In order to restore his strength as soon as possible, Zhang Sheng adopted a series of strategies to save money and save food. He did not even build an imperial palace, but only regarded the Chenliu Prefect''s Mansion as a temporary palace.
The Ming Dynasty gave priority to all costs to the army, just to restore self-protection intelligence in a short period of time to protect its territory.
But the territory of the Ming Dynasty was too wide, with the six states requiring too many troops and places to spend money, so even if Zhang Sheng was sluggish, he was still a drop in the bucket.
Looking at Zhang Sheng, who was dealing with government affairs seriously, Guo Jia felt admiration in his heart.
Now, she is probably the only one who can clean up such a mess! Guo Jia thought to himself.
After shaking his head to drive away the distracting thoughts in his heart, Guo Jia stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Zhang Sheng''s eyebrows were full of fatigue. Seeing that the person coming was Guo Jia, he put down his pen and asked, "Have the letter been sent out?"
Guo Jia nodded: "It has been delivered through emergency channels and will definitely be delivered within three days."
"That''s good." Zhang Sheng couldn''t help but relax and breathed a long breath.
After ascending the throne, Zhang Sheng realized how far the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty had leaked. Countless bad news made her breathless.
Basically, we can receive news that the Kanto family rebelled and the county magistrates or prefects from various places asked for reinforcements.
But the new army of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been trained, so how can reinforcements be sent?
Even if reinforcements can be sent, as soon as the army arrives, the rebels hide in the mountains and continue to rebel as soon as the army enters, so they cannot completely suppress the rebellion.
As a last resort, the Ming Dynasty court made a temporary measure of "sacrificing the small and protecting the big", which also caused the Ming Dynasty to be like a sieve, and each state and county had several rebellious forces that were difficult to wipe out.
Of course, this is not the main point. What really hurts Zhang Sheng is the attitude of the five governors.
In order to gain the recognition of the five major governors, Zhang Sheng had no choice but to enthrone Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu who were not around him.
After all, even these two people who almost became heirs are willing to assist the new emperor. What reason do you losers who have failed to oppose it?
With the names of these two people, Zhang Sheng was temporarily loyal to the five governors, but Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu were not by Zhang Sheng''s side. After a long time, even a fool could see that Zhang Sheng was in the frame of them.
If Xiang Yu and Zhang Liang did not appear, Zhang Sheng would really not be able to withstand it, so she used the information channels in Guo Jia''s hands to send a request to Qin Hao for help, Zhang Liang who was imprisoned.
In addition to Zhang Sheng’s letter of help, the three letters sent this time were also written by Zhang Jiao to Qin Hao, Zhang Liang and Zhang Ning. Zhang Sheng believed that Qin Hao would definitely let Zhang Liang and Zhang Ning come back after reading it.
Suddenly, Feng Yunshan walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoys from the Hundred Schools are here. Are you seeing each other or not?"
Zhang Sheng''s contact lenses were full of murderous aura. After suppressing the anger in his heart, he said coldly: "Boll it away for me."
The reason why Zhang Sheng never called himself "I" after becoming emperor was first of all, because she didn''t have much ambition, and secondly, she didn''t know how long this emperor could last, so she didn''t feel that she had to be called an ulterior motive.
Zhang Sheng knew that the four barbarians invaded the Han Dynasty was actually the work of Baijia. Baijia once again sent goodwill to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Sheng was unwilling to accept it.
The Yellow Turbans rose because of the hundreds of schools, and they were also defeated because of the hundreds of schools. Zhang Sheng did not want the Ming Dynasty to repeat the mistakes of the Yellow Turbans.
Guo Jia knew Zhang Sheng''s temper and hesitated for a while, he advised: "Your Majesty, the Hundred Schools really want to use the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty can also use the Hundred Schools. After all, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is not optimistic, and it will benefit both sides."
"No need to say too much, the Ming Dynasty will never cooperate with those people again." Zhang Sheng said coldly, his words reaching the extreme.
Guo Jia sighed when he heard this. He naturally knew that the hundreds of schools were unreliable, but now the two parties have the same interests, and it would be a pity not to make use of them.
Besides, the Hundred Schools have once again set their sights on the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty and the Hundred Schools are too involved, so it cannot be cut off just by Zhang Sheng.
There is one thing Guo Jia didn''t say, that is, even if Zhang Sheng refused to cooperate, the Hundred Schools could still find others. Anyway, Zhang Sheng was not the only one who could make the decision in the Ming Dynasty, and it would be the worst situation at that time.
"Reported... Yangzhou Governor Hong Xiuquan, who led his troops to attack Jiangdong without asking for his order..."
"Reported to... Li Mi, the governor of Yuzhou, ignored the ban on the court and led his troops to attack Runan..."
"What?"
Zhang Sheng suddenly stood up, his face full of anger without any flaws.
"I have clearly issued a strict order. Before our army recovers, we are allowed to defend and not send troops. How dare Li Mi and Hong Xiuquan resist the order? Are they going to rebel?"
Zhang Sheng was extremely angry. She worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, but Li Hong and the others were dragging her down.
The wealth of the Jiangdong family is not much lower than that of the Central Plains. If Hong Xiuquan could take over Jiangdong, he would naturally be able to quickly expand his army with the power of the aristocratic family.
In addition to a few cities in Nanyang, most of the county towns are actually under the control of the Yellow Turban forces. If Li Mi can completely capture Runan, she can connect Nanyang and Yuzhou.
But with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, even self-protection is difficult. If the Han Dynasty does not take the initiative to attack, it will burn incense and worship Buddha. How can he have the capital to start a war with the Han Dynasty?
Zhang Sheng couldn''t help but think of Qin Hao''s catchphrase: Don''t be afraid of opponents like gods, but just fear of teammates like pigs!
But Zhang Sheng thought about it again and said that Li Mi and Xiuquan are considered veterans, so they wouldn’t even be able to imagine such a simple truth, right?
Just as Zhang Sheng was thinking, Guo Jia promptly reminded: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the Hundred Schools?"
Zhang Sheng suddenly realized something, turned to grit his teeth, and said, "These two fools."
Zhang Sheng doesn’t have to think about it. This is definitely the result of the bewitching of the hundreds of schools, otherwise these two people would not be able to even see this.
"Speedly send an order to order the two to retreat and not to go to war with the Han army."
Zhang Sheng quickly ordered and prayed in his heart, hoping that the two of them would listen to him once, and this was of course impossible.
?In the past few years of truce, the protagonist will definitely not be idle. After all, after making such great contributions, he will definitely have his own territory. As for where it is? I will explain it in the next chapter.
