Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Zhang Hao has great power in ancient times, but now that this matter is coming, I am a little hesitant."

Liu Guangtong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. Not to mention the Liaodong Tartars, even the Jiliao military town is not something Zhang Haogu can take lightly."

Easy to take."

"Then Jiliao Military Town was already at odds with the imperial court and supported its own troops. Zhang Haogu just left, so what?"

Zhu Youxiao thought thoughtfully: "Those people in Jiliao Army Town are so self-reliant and unruly that they are indeed difficult to control."

Ji Min said: "When two thieves meet, it will inevitably be a fight between two tigers. Whether it is the warlords of Ji Liao or Zhang Haogu, no matter who loses or wins, it will be a good thing for Your Majesty."

"The most important thing right now is to let Zhang Haogu go to Liaodong as soon as possible and not give him much time to prepare. Otherwise, if he waits until he has made all the preparations in the capital before going to Liaodong, your Majesty will be in real trouble if he wants to reorganize the government."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Youxiao suddenly woke up: Yes, the most important thing now is to let Zhang Haogu leave as soon as possible!

Otherwise, if Zhang Haogu is in the capital and the new parties are integrated by him, he will not be able to get out of the palace, and he will really become a puppet.

"That's true. Then give Zhang Haogu an order to go to Liaodong to conquer the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible."

The next day, after the previous quarrel among the ministers, Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to go to court. He directly sent someone to give Zhang Haogu an imperial edict at the court, gave Zhang Haogu the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and asked Zhang Haogu to leave for Liaodong as soon as possible.

Zhang Haogu was restored to his position only the day before yesterday, and today he hurriedly let Zhang Haogu go. The conflicts between the emperor and his ministers were not concealed, and all the officials turned a blind eye. Anyway, it doesn't matter if the officials believe it or not. The merchants and the people believe that there is no problem with the emperor and his ministers. The Ming Dynasty remains the same.

Peace is enough.

As for what Zhu Youxiao thinks, it doesn’t matter!

In the cabinet, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh. He didn't understand why Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu had ended up in the current situation.

Look at this cabinet, who else is there besides yourself?

Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng were originally clay sculptures, but now they claim to be ill and cannot go to court.

Qian Qianyi used the excuse that he had just returned to the capital and needed to recuperate, but he did not show his face.

Zhang Ruitu and Qiao Yunsheng both went to Zhang Haogu's house.

Compared with the empty cabinet today, Zhang Haogu's home has become the new cabinet office. Although Zhang Haogu does not have the name of chief minister now, he has the actual status of chief minister, covering major military and political affairs, and affairs between the DPRK and China.

They are all sent to Zhang Haogu for processing.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, sighed and left.

cabinet.

"Mr. Sun Ge, what are you doing?"

"Go home, why don't you become a clay sculpture here?"

After Zhu Youxiao learned about what happened in the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao was even more determined to ask Zhang Haogu to leave the capital as soon as possible. Zhang Haogu must not be allowed to continue operating in the capital like this.

Otherwise, after Zhang Haogu controls both inside and outside the palace, the entire Zhili and the north, he will have no hope of making a comeback.

At this time, in Zhang Haogu's mansion, there were the cabinet ministers, Zhang Ruitu, the minister of rites, a bachelor of the cabinet, Lu Xiangsheng, the minister of household affairs, as well as the ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Industry, together with Fang Yunchu, Wang Dashan, Han Yaowei, etc.

The generals of the new party are also here.

Now that the quarrel with Zhu Youxiao has reached this stage, Zhu Youxiao also wishes he could eat his flesh and sleep with him, so Zhang Haogu thinks that he doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.

What's more, he is still a bachelor of the cabinet, and he also controls the military. In the name of the court's righteousness and the connections of the new party, he summons generals and arranges his confidants. Zhang Haogu's current actions are very fair and aboveboard.

"Ming Gong, I have sent letters to the governors of all provinces and the governors of all towns."

Huang Zongxi said.

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Everyone, conquering Liaodong is what the people of the world want. We have been preparing for this for a long time."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since last year, we have been preparing for the battle of Liaodong. Now we have sufficient reserves of various ordnance and materials, including cattle, sheep and horses. Now I can call them."

Zhang Haogu looked at everyone present and began to order with a smile: "The grain and ordnance from Shandong were ordered to be shipped to the south of Liaoning by the navy. The governor of southern Liaoning, Yuan Chonghuan, was ordered to strengthen defenses, organize militia, and wait for the arrival of the imperial army."

"In Henan, the grain and ordnance of Zhili are escorted to Tianjin, where they are loaded onto ships and shipped. They do not go by land."

"Order the new troops in the 17th Town in Shandong and the 19th Town in Henan to break up their camps and stand by outside the capital."

"I ordered the Governor of Mongolia, Cao Wenzhao, to have the cavalry of the four Mongolian towns ready to be dispatched at any time."

Orders were issued one after another, and the Ming Dynasty, with Zhang Haogu's residence as the temporary cabinet, began to operate in an orderly manner, just like in the past.

Following the transfer order, grain and ordnance from Shandong, Henan, Zhili and other places began to be escorted in a steady stream. The soldiers and horses went ahead before the grain and grass were moved. The ordnance, grain and grass were escorted faster than the army moving out of camp.

The new armies from Shandong, Henan, and Zhili also began to gather and mobilize, and the armies broke out of their camps and continued to gather outside Shuntian Prefecture.

The imperial court's great momentum naturally attracted the attention of interested people, including Huang Taiji in Liaodong, the warlords in Jiliao Military Town, and Zhu Youxiao in the palace.

"Wei Banban, Zhang Haogu is mobilizing new troops from various provinces. Could it be that he wants to attack me?"

Zhu Youxiao was now suspicious of everyone. When he heard that Zhang Haogu had begun directing the operations of the court and mobilizing troops, he immediately thought of what he had thought about before.

However, Zhu Youxiao's plan was to mobilize troops to learn from the ministers of Huangji Palace and reorganize the imperial court. Now that he was trying to save others by himself, Zhu Youxiao doubted that Zhang Haogu was planning to directly mobilize troops to Beijing and then attack him!

Wei Zhongxian looked helplessly at the suspicious Zhu Youxiao. There were five new armies in and outside Shuntian Prefecture. If Zhang Haogu wanted to mobilize troops, would he mobilize troops from Shandong and Henan?

But Zhu Youxiao is now obviously suffering from delusions of being persecuted. After all, the ministers forced the palace there before. Now, Zhu Youxiao really has no idea what Zhang Haogu is going to do.

Zhu Youxiao, who was unable to control the military and political power, felt so helpless and weak for the first time.

Zhang Haogu didn't care about Zhu Youxiao's thoughts. With the mobilization of the new army, Zhang Haogu also began to make further arrangements.

In Zhang Haogu's mansion, the commanders and associations of all the towns gathered together. Zhang Haogu pointed at the map with a baton in his hand: "Jiliao Military Town is not a monolithic one. The warlords in it are not subordinate to each other, let alone the warlords above.

He and the soldiers below are not of the same mind."

"The warlords control the soldiers, beat and scold them frequently, do not pay the soldiers, and treat the soldiers as domestic slaves. The middle-level generals drink the blood of the soldiers and deprive them of food and grass. The warlords eat the most, and the middle-level generals are also full of fat.

But the soldiers at the bottom have no money or food, and are suffering."

"The most important thing to attack Jiliao Military Town is not the warlords, nor the generals in the middle level. Those generals are close friends of each family, but the basic officers at the bottom can be fought for."

Fang Yunchu said: "Ming Gong means that we should win over low-level officers and soldiers and let them switch to the imperial court?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "We are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are fighting against each other. Why do they attack each other and bleed so that outsiders can laugh at them?"

"Both officers and soldiers at the bottom are pitiful people. The military pay and food provided by the imperial court have been swallowed up by the warlords above, so they don't have any resentment in their hearts? What's more, the imperial court has great interests, are they willing to continue to be slaves of those warlords and generals?
