After Chen Lifu received the appointment to inspect North Anhui Province, he didn't have much thought, but he felt that he might break his leg again in the next few months.

It was Li Xuan's talent that made him feel a lot, and he guessed that it should be when he rectified the internal tax system, he rectified the tax system full of scum, which greatly changed the atmosphere of the tax system, and made His Majesty feel satisfied, so he said so.

This also made him feel that His Majesty also hated the internal atmosphere of the tax system as much as he did, and supported him to reform the internal tax system, which suddenly made him give birth to a confidant and die, and even felt that His Majesty was also a benevolent monarch, that is, His Majesty had a ** minister around him who obstructed the Holy Hearing and blinded the Holy Monarch, so it will cause this state of chaos and tyranny!

He must work harder, so that he can rise to a higher position, and then really contact His Majesty, and give advice to His Majesty, help the Holy Monarch to reform the Tang Dynasty, end the many chaotic and tyrannical governments, and return the people of the world to a bright future!

Well, Chen Lifu would never know, the reason why Li Xuan said this is just that he thinks that Chen Lifu's ability to collect taxes is very good, and he made more than 40 million taels of silver at once, what is a talent if this is not a talent?

Although Chen Lifu has not yet been promoted, his dispatch is getting heavier and heavier, and his actual power can be said to be quite large, and more importantly, people who have a little officialdom consciousness can see that Chen Lifu will be promoted and promoted again in the future, and maybe in a few years, he may become an important minister of the court.

As a result, many people who hated Chen Lifu in the past quietly changed their attitudes, and the teacher who announced the severance of the teacher-student relationship in front of him now does not say that he is not in front of outsiders.

Of course, as a scholar, he still has backbone, even if his students are about to soar now, but he is too lazy to get up, at most he no longer denies that Chen Lifu is his student!

As a scholar, you must have such a righteous spirit!

As for the many relatives and friends who had a lot of complaints about Chen Lifu in the past, they have also changed their attitudes now!

Last year, when Chen Lifu's husband surrendered to thieves, he didn't ...... Phew!

Last year, when Lord Chen was eager to seek talents and resolutely came out, most of them maintained a disdainful attitude, especially when they learned that Chen Lifu had become a tax inspector.

Chen Lifu killed from Chizhou to Dezhou, Ningguofu, and then to Songjiang Mansion, and now to Jiangbei, killing a lot of people along the way, or more accurately, he killed a lot of gentry along the way.

Therefore, the Jiangnan gentry, including Chen Lifu's relatives and friends, are ashamed of Chen Lifu, and many people think that when the Ming army returns to Jiangnan, they will definitely dismantle Chen Lifu's dog thief!

It's just that, this is the previous idea, when the Tang Dynasty Wang Division defeated the last main force of the Puppet Ming in the north in one fell swoop outside Anping Town, Shandong, everyone knows that the Puppet Ming is already powerless to return to the sky, and the world has completely fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

So, almost overnight, in the ruling area of the Tang Dynasty, especially in the area of Nanzhili, many gentry have consciously erased the words of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, Li thief, and thief army, and then opened their mouths to be the imperial court, and closed their mouths to be the king's master, which is not public, but private.

In public, it is impossible for someone to say this openly, if you are not careful, the patrol police will directly come to the door to investigate, and it is a crime of insulting the Holy Monarch, this crime can be big or small, if it is small, it will be fined, and if it is big, it will be beheaded and raided.

Living under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, he dared to scold Li Xuan, the Holy Monarch of the Ages, it was simply the birthday star who hanged himself, and he was impatient!

Outsiders are reused by Chen Lifu, Jane is talking about it in the emperor's heart, especially relatives and friends, some time ago, a classmate friend who broke off the marriage contract of his children with Chen Lifu was cheeky and wrote a handwritten letter, saying that he was too reckless in his previous words of divorce, and he was restless in recent months, and now he is cheeky to re-establish the marriage contract.

After Chen Lifu saw it, he shook his head and sighed, he didn't hate his teacher, his classmates and other relatives and friends, on the contrary, he understood their thoughts, even when his teacher spit three mouthfuls of phlegm in his face, he was never angry, on the contrary, he was still full of guilt at that time, hoping that they would understand him one day.

But now, for the first time, he felt bored!

How could they be?

How can they do that?

They can't do that!

They are scholars, they are readers who read the books of sages and sages, they must have the common people in their hearts, they must have the dawn in their hearts, he Chen Lifu endured humiliation and burden, in order to help the world and end many chaotic and tyrannical governments in the imperial court, but now, these teachers, classmates, relatives and friends, just saw that they had the opportunity to become important ministers of the imperial court, and directly gave up the belief in their hearts, and turned cheeky to please themselves.

They have already changed so that Chen Lifu doesn't know each other!

Could it be that among the many teachers, students, relatives and friends, no one sees their own burden of forbearance and humiliation?

Could it be that they just saw the high-ranking officials, glory and wealth?

Such a person, he Chen Lifu is now incomprehensible, and even unbearable, as the so-called Tao is not the same!

Sighing deeply, Chen Lifu read the letter from this classmate again, and then replied, saying that his eldest son had made a marriage contract with the daughter of a colleague in the Ministry of Taxation, and there was no need to mention the re-establishment of the marriage contract!

After writing the letter, Chen Lifu stood up, then looked out the window at the drizzle beating the plantains, and then sighed lightly: "It's difficult to be an official, and it's even harder to be a person!" ”

Li Xuan's words brought great changes to Chen Lifu's life, but Li Xuan himself didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew!

Now he has begun to continue north along the canal!

Some time ago, the news of the Third Army came, the Third Army had already conquered Tianjinwei, and its vanguard had already arrived in Youzhou City, and Hao Bonian was not in a hurry to attack the city, but first sent troops to continue to the west to prepare to seize Shanhaiguan.

But no matter what the specific strategic deployment of the Third Army is, Youzhou City should be able to be taken in a short time, so Li Xuan once again led the Guards Army to set off north, along the canal to prepare to go to Tianjin Wei first, and then to Youzhou City.

At the same time, in Youzhou City, Emperor Shao Wu and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were still in chaos, and the soldiers of the Third Army had actually appeared outside Youzhou City for a long time, but there were only a few scouts, and the real infantry arrived in Youzhou City only two days ago!

There were not many troops coming, only one infantry regiment and one cavalry regiment, and the infantry regiment was less than 2,000 men.

Because this was only a forward force, and it did not carry heavy weapons such as field artillery, this dissatisfied forward infantry regiment plus a cavalry regiment of 500 cavalry arrived outside Youzhou City, and only monitored the main entry and exit channels of Youzhou City, especially the west and north of the two escape directions.

As for the siege, that's not their task!

Their mission is to prevent the Ming army from other places from coming to the rescue of Youzhou, as well as to intercept the Ming army in the city, especially Emperor Shao Wu, from escaping!

After the west and north were blocked, in other directions, the south was the main force of the Third Army, and the Ming army fled south to find death, and in the east, the Third Army also sent troops east to prepare to seize Shanhaiguan, not to mention whether it could seize Shanhaiguan, but it must be able to block the eastward escape of the Ming army and Emperor Shaowu and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Youzhou City.

Today's Youzhou City is actually surrounded by strategy on all sides, their city gates can still be opened, they can get out of the city, but every direction after leaving the city is basically blocked by strategy, and they can't escape at all!

What's more, the Ming army in the city, Emperor Shao Wu and others also didn't have the courage to run out of the city!

Staying in Youzhou City, if you have the city wall to rely on, you can barely defend it, but running out of the city is basically a dead end, and everyone knows that the frontal field combat ability of the pseudo-Tang thief army is too strong.

Moreover, I heard that many of the cavalry of the border army who went south to Shandong chose to surrender after the Battle of Anping, which greatly increased the strength of the cavalry in the puppet Tang thief army, so that the Tang army had a greater advantage in the field fighting.

These Ming cavalry of the Ming army in Chengcheng were the cavalry of the previous border army and some of the cavalry of the Xinjing battalion, and the cavalry gathered by Zhengde in Shandong was about 10,000 cavalry, and 7,000 cavalry were sent south to harass the battle, leaving 3,000 cavalry in Anping Town.

In the Battle of Anping, the remaining 3,000 cavalry suffered great losses, and the remaining almost 2,000 cavalry finally escaped from the battlefield, and I heard that the cavalry general was King Hui's person, so he took these two thousand horses through Youzhou without entering, and went directly out of Shanhaiguan to Liaodong to join King Hui.

The 7,000 cavalry that went south to attack the logistics line of the Tang Army basically suffered no losses, but after the defeat in the Battle of Anping, they also broke through, but they were later persuaded to surrender.

For this cavalry, Li Xuan behaved very generously!

Compared with other Ming army surrenders, they were given much more favorable conditions, in order to let them surrender and use them for their own use, so that they would not run to Liaodong or other places like the more than 2,000 Ming cavalry in front.

The senior cavalry generals of the Ming army who surrendered to Cheng were awarded the ranks of major general and colonel respectively, and promised to let them continue to lead the troops, instead of having no military rank and no real position like many Ming army generals.

However, these cavalry generals of the Ming army continued to lead the troops, and at the same time, the Tang Army would also send a large number of officers to serve as their deputies and staff officers.

Middle- and lower-ranking officers will still be awarded the corresponding ranks, but according to the situation, professional training will be carried out to learn the various tactics of the Tang cavalry.

Not to mention ordinary cavalry, all of them will be retained, and then the training of the Tang cavalry will be carried out.

Li Xuan even gave them three months' military salaries at one time, but there was no way, Emperor Zhengde was too picky, and the military salaries of these cavalrymen had been in arrears for several months.

In order to recruit this cavalry unit, Li Xuan also spent a lot of effort, to be honest, he has not been so generous in dealing with the surrender of the Ming army!
