Chapter 156: Zhu Houzhao’s smile on the preparations of various countries before mobilizing troops.
Yang Heting listened to His Majesty's description of the Governor-General's authority.
His expression became dull for a moment.
Speaking only of authority.
The power of these six provincial governors is even greater than that of him, the prime minister!
Li Dongyang was also slightly surprised.
But his focus is not on power.
With your majesty's current power, let alone being the governor of six provinces.
Even if they fabricate a regent out of thin air again, who would dare to say anything wrong?
Zhenwu Division.
West Factory.
Aren’t the powers of these two yamen excessive enough?
Li Dongyang just said in a deep voice: "Is the position of Governor a common practice?"
If it is a positioning example.
Then all the more than 20 provinces in the Ming Dynasty would have to have governors.
Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "It's just a convenient way."
The Governor has too much power.
Even though all the people under his command have already taken the Blood Bodhi or the Enlightenment Stone.
He was also 100% loyal to Zhu Houzhao.
But they were personally loyal.
But it does not mean that every one of his subordinates is extremely loyal!
Take Wang Yangming for example, he himself is undoubtedly a sage.
But what about the disciples and officials who were recruited in the future?
It was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to make the post of governor a regular practice.
And it must be after Wang Yangming has resolved the issues in the south.
Wang Yangming was transferred back to the Forbidden City to serve as the chief minister and take charge of overall power.
Even after unifying the nine provinces.
It is also necessary to build a brand new system.
Nowadays, the Zhenwu Division, the Western Factory, and the Governor are just acting according to their own convenience.
Zhu Houzhao said it was better to do it according to his own circumstances.
The three people present all understood what His Majesty meant.
Wang Yangming's face did not show any dissatisfaction.
He was not a person who coveted power.
Before this, I even wanted to give Your Majesty some advice.
Your Majesty already has a plan in mind.
Wang Yangming had no choice but to bow his head and said: "I will definitely reorganize the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River for your majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.
He said to Yang Heting and Li Dongyang, "You guys also need to assist with the things in Jiangnan."
With the connections of Yang Heting and Li Dongyang.
As long as they are willing to assist Wang Yangming.
Coupled with Yu Huatian’s brutal methods.
With both kindness and severity.
The six provinces south of the Yangtze River will be completely under control within two months.
Then we can start conquering other countries.
Whether it is starting the military campaign against the Song Dynasty based in Jiangnan.
Or use the food and grass in the south of the Yangtze River to expand the army.
Prepare to wait for an opportunity to annex the Mongols.
It's all easy.
This is also the most important place in an empire - finance!
Zhu Houzhao gave a few more instructions to Wang Yangming, Li Dongyang and others.
So let them go down and do the work.
After Wang Yangming had revised all the reform plans.
He was about to go to the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to take office and rectify the situation.
Zhu Houzhao will also go to Wudang Mountain tomorrow.
All these matters still require a lot of arrangements and preparations.
...
It was just when Wang Yangming and others went down.
Cao Zhengchun walked in again.
This time he held a piece of letter in his hand.
This is the news that Zhuge Zhengwo passed on from Huashan yesterday.
Originally, this news should have been delivered to Zhu Houzhao last night.
It’s just because Jingwei and others have just taken over the authority of the Six Gates.
Plus the Four Famous Detectives and the top brass of the Six Gates.
They all went to destroy the mountains and temples.
This delayed some time.
Cao Zhengchun explained the situation in a low voice.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Jingwei and others took over in a hurry, so some problems are inevitable."
This Cao Zhengchun had obviously also broken through to become the Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena.
Not willing to be just a summoning eunuch.
Instead, he wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Forbidden City.
Otherwise, with Cao Zhengchun's temperament, how could he dare to say something bad about Jingniu in front of Zhu Houzhao?
Cao Zhengchun immediately knelt on the ground and said, "This old slave has no other thoughts."
"I just want to do more for your majesty."
There is no doubt about Cao Zhengchun's loyalty.
This is especially true after taking Blood Bodhi.
But this kind of thinking is really boring.
Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Work hard in the future."
"Since the East Factory has nothing to do, you can go and spread the East Factory spies to the Song Dynasty."
"I want to know the situation in the Song Dynasty as soon as possible."
Whether it is against the Song Dynasty or the Mongols.
Zhu Houzhao must first understand the affairs of the Song Dynasty!
The Zongwu Continent is like the different historical conquests.
The victory or defeat of wars between nations is certainly on the battlefield.
Victory or defeat is determined by military strength and national power.
But the background of the underworld and the imperial court are also extremely important.
Why have the countries been living in peace over the years?
The Qin and the Mongols were still hesitant to attack the Ming Dynasty?
It’s not that the Qin Dynasty and the Mongols did not have strength before.
But it is the complexity of the Ming Dynasty's underworld.
No one can be sure that after the army invades, there will not be a master of the immortal level on land who will stand up.
For example, if the Mongols marched south in large numbers.
They just ignore the threat from Wudang Zhang Sanfeng?
These martial artists are certainly lawless!
But when foreign races invade.
There are also enough chivalrous people who will stand up.
What's more, this is also related to their own interests.
If Zhu Houzhao wanted to attack the Song Dynasty or other countries.
The same goes for this!
Especially what Zhu Houzhao did to the Ming Dynasty's underworld.
I'm afraid that the martial arts world of various countries has long regarded Zhu Houzhao as a formidable enemy!
.....
Cao Zhengchun heard this instruction.
A smile appeared on his face: "I will do my best!"
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to say anything to Cao Zhengchun.
He set his eyes on the letter.
Then he suddenly laughed: "This is Zhang Sanfeng!"
It is true that the older people get, the smarter they become.
Zhang Sanfeng's letter this time seemed to be asking for Your Majesty's opinion.
In fact, it already has some meaning of taking sides.
He will stand on Zhu Houzhao's side.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to express his opinion.
Let Zhu Houzhao not make things too difficult for Wudang.
However, Zhang Sanfeng ultimately underestimated Zhu Houzhao's determination to reorganize the martial arts world.
He picked up the pen and wrote four words on the letter paper.
Then he said, "Send the letter to Wudang Mountain as soon as possible."
Cao Zhengchun lowered his head, took the letter and walked out of the hall.
...
That night.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Jingwei and Yanfei in the bedroom: "This Zhang Sanfeng is really interesting."
At the peak realm of land immortals.
Plus his status as the leader of Wudang.
Shaolin will also be destroyed sooner or later.
Zhang Sanfeng actually had no ideas or ambitions at all.
This kind of mentality is also extremely rare.
Lives up to the good reputation rumored in previous life.
Yan Fei and Jing Wei's eyes flickered slightly: "I wonder how your majesty plans to deal with Zhang Sanfeng?"
This time the Ming Dynasty martial arts world was suppressed.
To them it was not a problem at all.
Buddhist monk Dini, the first ancestor, and Donghuang Taiyi are all dead.
What kind of evil can these Ming Dynasty martial artists do?
It’s simply that Your Majesty does not want the Ming Dynasty to be too turbulent.
Otherwise, what if they really trampled into the rivers and lakes and set off a bloody massacre? !
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course it will be taken into the Zhenwu Division!"
Zhang Sanfeng's character is naturally very good.
He is not someone who causes trouble.
However, Zhu Houzhao wanted to unify the nine provinces and suppress the underworld in the nine provinces in the future.
If he were a land immortal like Zhang Sanfeng, he would have some privileges.
Then how can we suppress this underworld?
The immortals on land are still high and mighty!
What is this martial arts world suppressing? !
Only targeting those who are innate and masters? !
