On March 15, the Spring Palace Examination ended, and the first champion of the Tianwu Dynasty was born.

The new champion is named Yang Tingjian, a native of Changzhou Mansion in Zhili, and what makes Zhu Cihong depressed is that this eldest brother was the last champion in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty in history.

It stands to reason that Yang Tingjian took the palace examination in Beijing in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, but now he does not.

Because of the appearance of Zhu Cihong, the historical pattern has changed, and the time for Li Zicheng to break Beijing has been advanced by more than half a year, and a political center has also appeared in Jiangnan.

Yang Tingjian in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen to participate in Enke, won the tribute, originally went to Beijing to participate in the palace examination, but did not expect to pass through Henan when he was caught by the army, was broken to stay in the army for the army to write the slogan "Welcome to the king does not pay food".

After all, with the capital of the champion, Yang Tingjian easily fooled the intruders and took the opportunity to run away.

At the time of the great chaos in the north and the invasion of the army to the north, Yang Tingjian thought that the imperial court would not hold a palace test, so he had to pat his ass and return to Jiangnan, continue to study the scriptures and history, study hard, cultivate self-cultivation, and establish integrity and shame.

A few days ago, Zhu Cihong held a palace examination in Fengtian Temple, and raised some questions about the way to take the imperial examination and become an official.

Yang Tingjian answered the best in the audience, he said: "Take the character first, and then the rhetoric, use the noble, simple and honest and frivolous, compete with the evil and the right, regardless of the ...... of the door."

Zhu Cihong expressed his deep admiration, and transferred the information of this person from Dongchang, and learned that Yang Tingjian was not full of running trains, he had studied hard since he was a child, and he was not good at fresh clothes, and his talent and character were recognized as the first in Changzhou Mansion.

Zhu Cihong vaguely remembered that Yang Tingjian, the champion of the capital, was also well-known in history, and Li Zicheng, who entered the Beijing Division, attached great importance to him and asked him to be an official, but he refused and returned to his hometown to settle down.

Later, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, and the Qing court specially summoned Yang Tingjian, the champion, to Beijing as an official, but he did not go.

A few years later, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiangnan who helped the Qing court fight the world, recommended Yang Tingjian as an official, but he resigned because his mother was not satisfied.

The adult Shunzhi Emperor invited Yang Tingjian to go out of the mountain as an official several times, but he refused, although his son was not angry to become an official of the Qing court, but Yang Tingjian did not become an official until he died of old age, showing the integrity of a champion.

Above the officialdom, what is lacking is this kind of scholar who has integrity and does not change his original intention, Zhu Cihong personally promoted Yang Tingjian as the champion in the court, awarded the Hanlin Academy to revise, and first experienced it in the center.

The rest of the new Jinshi will be assigned work according to the previously redefined Jinshi official system.

In recent days, Zhu Cihong urged Zhu Chenggong to hurry up preparations for war and recover Dongfan.

The decree to send troops to Taiwan reached Fujian as early as a month ago, and on the day they received the decree, Zhu Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui handed over their posts and stepped up preparations for war.

On the first day of Zhu Chenggong's promotion to the commander-in-chief, he tore off the Zheng family flag on the original Pingfan fleet, hung the dragon flag high, and held a military parade in a serious manner, taking the opportunity to clean up the two thorny officers.

Zheng Hongkui was very dissatisfied with this eldest nephew, and secretly said that he had been an attendant by the emperor's side for a few years, what a cow!

When he saw the murderous Royal Forest Army beside his eldest nephew, Zheng Hongkui immediately became honest and said that he was willing to serve as a deputy general.

Zhu Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui are both main battle factions, and they have long been unhappy with the red ghosts, so the preparations are progressing very smoothly.

Food, salaries, and medicinal materials from Zhili and Zhejiang were also sent to Fujian in a steady stream, and Hongyi cannons, Dongfang rockets, and other weapons were sent to the front line one by one.

The thick clouds of war hung over the coast of Fujian.

With salary, food and equipment, the morale of the Pingfan fleet was greatly boosted, and Zhu Chenggong's confidence was also greatly increased, and when the trade winds arrived, he ordered to cross the sea to fight and recover Dongfan (Taiwan)!

On this day, Jinyi Weitianzhi sent major information, and after political competition, the Qing State finally won with the two Tartars led by Hong Chengchou and mastered the power of the military array.

Zhu Cihong didn't care about the little emperor of Shunzhi recognizing his father, he was most concerned about Hong Chengchou's next series of national policies.

"Qing concluded an alliance with Japan, and the occupied Shikoku Islands were not repaid to Japan?"

Zhu Cihong was a little curious, if Tatar Qing didn't go to Japan, where else could he go?

In the past, Zhu Cihong forced the Tatar Qing to fight with Japan, the dog ate the dog's hair, and finally the Ming Dynasty knocked them all down with a stick, which saved time and trouble.

However, now, under the call of the regent Hong Chengchou of the imperial father, the Qing State began to set off a shipbuilding boom, opened several ports such as Pusan to trade and exchanges with Spain, Portugal and other countries, and invited many Spanish shipwrights from Manila to prepare to build ocean-going ships.

Importantly, the Tatars also hired a number of Spaniards and Portuguese to serve as instructors for the Eight Banners, as well as to help the Qing court supervise the manufacture of guns.

After reading this information, Zhu Cihong had to admire Hong Chengchou's ability.

In this era, Hong Chengchou's ability can at least rank in the top three, and his performance in history is very outstanding in the Central Plains and Songjin Wars.

After the Qing Dynasty, it was a light for the Qing army to go south, when Dolgon's "shaving order" aroused a strong resistance from the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Qing army in the south almost overturned.

In the midst of the crisis, the regent Dolgon hurriedly sent Hong Chengchou to replace the Yu prince Duoduo, who had just conquered Nanjing, and appointed him as a military scholar to appease the southern governor, passing through several provinces south of the Yangtze River.

Although Hong Chengchou did not have a prince, he directly commanded Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and other Sanshun kings, as well as some Manchurian Eight Banner Army (in case of major events, it must be carried out with the Pingnan general Belle Lekdehun).

Hong Chengchou easily pacified Jiangnan at a relatively low cost, and also appeased Zheng Zhilong, saying that he was "the first credit of the Qing Dynasty".

Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong and others were finally crowned princes, and Hong Chengchou, who had more credit, was only a third-class viscount, because his ability was too strong, so that the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not at ease, worried that there would be another Sima Yi, and finally raised him to death in Beijing.

Hong Chengchou has a fellow countryman, named Cao Xuegao, who will pass the examination in the Wanli period, and asked about "car warfare", and Mr. Cao replied: "Chennan people are also not familiar with car warfare, please use boat warfare to discuss."

So the examiner examined his boat battle, and Cao Xuegan detailed Chen Zhou's battle method, and initially decided to be the first, but because he could not make an exception, he changed it to the tenth place.

Hong Chengchou was born in Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong are fellow villagers, from a county, facing the sea (his home is more than ten miles away from the sea), and he is more familiar with the ocean and boat battles.

Such a character was not taken under his command, Zhu Cihong did not feel sorry at all, if there was no romance to knock his head on, how could there be more braids on the screen?

In his eyes, integrity is more important than ability, which is also the charm of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong repeatedly read this information to judge the direction that Hong Chengchou wanted to expand.

The Tatar Qing alliance with Japan was a manifestation of eating and waiting for death, but their development of navigation must have been an attempt to establish maritime power.

But who do they want to hit? Counterattack the Ming Dynasty? Unless Hong Chengchou is tired of being alive.

And why didn't they go to the Dutch to cooperate, but instead look for the Spaniards?

Zhu Cihong read the contents of the trade treaty signed between Tatar Qing and Spain again, and finally locked his eyes on the words Acapulco.
