Today's Longwu Imperial Court, judging from the modern evaluation standards of political power, is basically a military government, and the administrative power is held by the armed forces represented by Li Shouhan. Most of the administrative orders came from the shogunate. This is also normal, and they are at war with the Liaodong rebels in the north! In short, this form of political organization was determined by the actual situation, not by the coup d'état by Li Shouhan. However, this situation is a different virtue in the pen of civil officials. In their letters to each other, it is described as follows:

"Fang's stake today is all attributed to the shogunate. The politics of the world are all from the shogunate. We are people who are on the right path, and we are only the ones who hold the palm print! "It is full of dissatisfaction and complaints about the loss of the power position that once looked down on the world.

Every time the court was discussed, Li Shouhan reported to Emperor Longwu in the name of the general on behalf of the military attachés and nobles. After obtaining the emperor's permission, it was announced to the world that it was officially implemented.

As a matter of fact, everyone knows that the matters agreed upon by the general will be carried out in various places after the seal is printed and distributed, and the so-called invitation to the Son of Heaven is just a formality at the last pass.

This has seriously broken the situation of civilian dominance since the civil engineering change. Even more annoyed the civil officials than the three-legged power structure of the military attaché, the honorable nobles, and the civil officials at the time of Taizu and Chengzu.

Where there is anger, there is joy. The military attachés and nobles raised their eyebrows. The generals who led the troops no longer had to kneel and salute a seventh-grade grain manager as a second-grade general soldier for the sake of mere salaries, and they didn't have to worry about their military exploits being picked by all kinds of horizontal noses and eyes. Of course, if you take the risk of success and defeat to win, it will be the military judge who will come to talk to you. All of the above benefits are based on the premise that you dare to fight the enemy and have a good record. Moreover, the salary is to check the strength of your soldiers and horses, and pay it on time and in full. You don't even think about the fact that there are 2,000 soldiers and 50,000 in the report.

What the? Do you want to borrow troops from your colleagues around you to deal with the inspection? I'm sorry, but when you count, you and your neighbors are doing it at the same time. The kind of method of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, if it is still more useful in front of Generalissimo Sun of the military government of the Protector of France, you can lie on the Luohan bed, face the cigarette lamp, hug the beautiful and charming aunt, and wait for the news ahead. If the front is victorious, he immediately asks Generalissimo Sun for supplies and rewards, and if the front is defeated, he wants to replenish, burn money, and pay for the army. This trick can be used to deceive Generalissimo Sun, but in General Li's place, it won't work!

With such a method, those arrogant and arrogant officers with troops, look at the wolf-like guards and horses that came to inspect the committee members, and then look at the hungry and cold soldiers under their own hands, and peek at the heavy vehicles in the inspection committee team, and can't help gritting their teeth, "It is said in the horizontal and vertical inspection regulations that the number of soldiers and horses is one thing, and Lao Tzu's official rank and grade will not be less than a penny or a grain of rice!" It's a big deal, Lao Tzu handed over the soldiers and horses, and took a note to go to overseas trade and reclamation, which is still a good day for fine clothes and food! ”

As for those nobles who came from the dragon in Nanjing City, they were contained by Li Shouhan in one go, and according to many indicators such as age, rank and rank, ability, attitude, etc., they were appointed to join the army, join the army, walk in the army, join the army, and other positions, all of them worked in the army room, and a generous salary supported them.

However, this salary was not taken for nothing. Li Shouhan raised them to use their status after the founding fathers to fight with those hated civil officials. As it turned out, the salary was worth the money. Don't say that there is money to be taken, in the eyes of these nobles who have earned a lot of money through the Nanmi contract and the southern goods trade, they can make those poor and sour literati who have national hatred and family hatred with us, and look for trouble, that is, they are willing to pay out of their own pockets!

For what this generation thinks, even if Huang Daozhou is not a roundworm in the stomach of these nobles, he can guess seven or eight percent from their daily performance. "Humph! A bunch of rat-eyed people! Understand what! He straightened the wat board in his hand and lightly touched his waist with his elbow, which was the inscription he had written overnight, a splendid article, which was the heavy cannonball he was going to throw at the court meeting today. In this article, he analyzes the general trend of the world, the aspirations of the people, and the influence and appeal of the village sages in various places, and the analysis can be described as extremely fine. Finally, end with a rather inflammatory text.

"If Your Majesty gives an order today to order the loyal and righteous soldiers everywhere to train soldiers and horses, and the imperial court gives them nominal official positions and allocates food and pay equipment, the ministers dare to assert that it will not take ten days, and the loyal and righteous soldiers from all over the country will raise their arms and shout, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will flock to gather. With hundreds of thousands of athletes in hand, why worry about staying and not being able to recover, why worry that the Beijing division cannot be recovered, why worry that Liaodong can't wash away the bloody flesh!? ”

Several disciples under the Zodiac Zhou also quietly communicated the idea of the teacher to the Longwu Heavenly Son in the palace through their own ways. For this matter, the cronies around Longwu Tianzi are also happy to see it happen. Originally! Now the emperor only has Liang Guogong a usable soldier in his hands, and the military salaries, money and food expenses in various places all rely on the allocation of Nanzhong, one hand is a gun, and the other hand is a money bag, all of which are Liang Guogong's, so naturally the affairs of the DPRK and China are what his old man says.

"How can this work?! Even if Liang Guogong is loyal and righteous, what if his subordinates want to be the founding father? Or, what about his sons and daughters who want him to be Emperor Wu of Wei? ”

Mao Yujie's words were extremely straightforward and even explicit. However, it really hit the vital point in the hearts of the emperors of the past dynasties.

Regarding this question book to be put on by the Zodiac Zhou, there was a whisper in the palace that as long as Lord Shoufu raised it in the court, His Majesty would never allow it!

In order to strengthen his momentum, Huang Daozhou quietly communicated with Xia Yunyi and others, and they would respond together at the court meeting. Xia Yunyi even made a generous statement: "If Your Majesty approves this inscription of Lord Shoufu, Xia will cross the sea and go north, go to Songjiang Mansion, gather the elders in his hometown, and lead the children of Songhu to fight the enemy to the end!" ”

Now the palace and the court have all been contacted. However, Huang Daozhou put forward a call on the loyal and righteous gentry to raise troops at the court meeting, and the court gave the report in the name of food and equipment, and Emperor Longwu approved it, which was the victory overture for the civil officials to regain the power of the court again!

With the summons of the Ministry of Rites standing under the pillars, the officials quickly lined up according to their ranks, official positions, and knights, and the civil officials were headed by the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry, Huang Daozhou, and the military attache was mainly Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang Guogong, and the military attachés were mainly composed of two classes in the Golden Palace.

"There is a morning music, and there is no retreat." The little eunuch made a routine announcement, but he smelled a hint of danger and tension from the atmosphere in the hall, and even his voice trembled a little.

"Minister, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, Huang Dao Zhou Youben."

"Minister, general, Liang Guogong Li Shouhan has a book."

Almost at the same time, Li Shouhan and Huang Daozhou went out to salute, holding the wat board in their hands and playing up.

"It's coming!" Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu screamed bitterly in his heart. From the morning, he found that there were at least thirty percent more guards and guards in the palace than in the past, and the degree of inventory was much more intensive. I think Liang Guogong also heard some rumors of news from inside and outside the palace.

Such a situation is naturally quite embarrassing. Seeing this, Huang Daozhou wanted to show the demeanor of the prime minister and give the opportunity to play this time to Li Shouhan. didn't want Li Shouhan to open his mouth first. "Mr. Huang, please first."

Speaking of which, the first assistant of the cabinet is the first person in the DPRK, but Li Shouhan has the super status of the duke of the country, and he has the official position of a general, so he is naturally faintly above the zodiac Zhou. When he made this humble move, it was naturally a move to claim his own identity. This made Zodiac Zhou quite unhappy!

His mind was racing, and he immediately thought of the news that had quietly come when he was outside the palace when he lifted the sedan curtain for him.

"Lord Xia's personal entourage invited the slave to transfer to the lord, in the early hours of the morning, Lord Xia received a letter from Songjiang Mansion, and the war in Shanghai County and other places is unfavorable! The Qing soldiers were quite rampant, and they had already approached the city of Shanghai. It is reported that the second son of the Li family has personally led the guards Ding to swing his sword, and the banner of the second son of the Li family can be seen before the battle. ”

It must be so! That Xia Yunyi is a famous family in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and the news he came from must be much faster than that of Chaozhongdi! The news is also much more accurate! It must be that the war ahead is unfavorable, and Li Mou has such a coy move! Huang Daozhou figured this out, and naturally had a bottom in his heart.

"Sir, don't be humble. The marshal has a lot of opportunities, and if you think it's a military matter, you might as well ask the marshal to say it first. ”

"Mr. and Liang Guogong are both my ministers. You don't have to be rigid about these rituals. "Zhu Yujian, the Longwu Emperor sitting on the throne, couldn't hold it back, and acted as a referee from the role of the audience." General, it's up to you to say first, after you play the invitation, then ask Mr. Huang to play. ”

"It's good! And the minister was bold. ”

Li Shouhan's recital was a bit unexpected by Huang Daozhou and others, and it was not even a military event, it was simply not golden, but it made Huang Daozhou cry out.

"The minister has the courage to speak, please ask Your Majesty to pay tribute to the temple and posthumously seal the three generations."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yujian's heart suddenly became angry, and he was almost scratching his ears and cheeks when he put him on the throne. What does that mean? That is to say, Your Majesty, please posthumously honor your great-grandfather Zhu Yuwen as Emperor Zhezong Xietian'an Dao Jingzheng Gong Shengxi Wenyuan Wu Dai Ren Ke Xiaohui Emperor, grandfather Zhu Zhouyu posthumously honored as Emperor Xuan of Pure Sect Du Tiancheng Dao Qin Zhao Xian Mu Li Wending Wu Ju Renti Filial Piety Emperor, and his father Zhu Qiqi posthumously honored as Emperor Xuan.

In this way, his succession to the throne of Zhu Yujian can no longer find any fault in the patriarchal law. It must be known that in order to fight for this political treatment for his father, Emperor Jiajing launched a years-long dispute with the Chinese officials of the DPRK. Now, I, the Duke of Liang Guo, am the minister of Qingtian's protection, and even this matter has been thought of by me.

There is no reason for this kind of thing. So, the Ministry of Rites and Rites let them run it.

Then there is another part of Liang Guogong's invitation, next year to change the Yuan Longwu, at the same time the issuance of Longwu Tongbao and Longwu silver dollars, posthumously respect the Hongguang Emperor of the Northern Hunt as the Emperor, and respect the Empress Dowager Zou as the Empress Dowager. These are trivial matters, and it is to order the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household to complete this matter under the leadership of the Great Shogun. Since the period of Emperor Chongzhen, the minting of coins and other things in the court were carried out by Nanzhong on behalf of them, and they were very skilled in doing this.

After talking about etiquette, Li Shouhan finally began to talk about issues related to the actual situation.

"Your Majesty, if you want to go to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, you must first compete for Huguang. If you want to compete for Huguang, you must first take Shuzhong. Now, in the land of Shuzhong, although there are many officials in my Ming Dynasty, there are many political and orderly. And there is also the Shu royal clan who is held hostage to do illegal things. In order to determine Sichuan, Pinghu Guang, and the ministers to protect the promotion, please ask Your Majesty to appoint Qin Liangyu as the governor of Sichuan and other places to supervise military affairs, food and salaries, and governors. He Tengjiao was a scholar of Wuyingdian University, the governor of Huguang and other places, and the governor of military affairs, food and salary, and governors. ”

Li Shouhan's proposal is tantamount to throwing a little boy in the ears of Huang Daozhou and others.

If He Tengjiao is allowed to be the governor of Huguang, it is just that. After all, he was also born on the right path of Kejia, and he was promoted all the way, and there were merits and achievements in every bit of it. Before being coerced east by Zuo Liangyu, he escaped from the left army, fled to the ground, and gathered his protégés to organize resistance. There is no doubt about this person's origins and loyalty, and he has to do this extraordinary thing at this extraordinary time. Promoting him to be the governor of Huguang is not a big deal.

It's just that now everyone knows that most of the land of Huguang has been occupied by hundreds of thousands of remnants of Li Chuang's Dashun army. It is rumored that all this generation has returned to Shi Lang, the son-in-law of Liang Guogong, and the military salary is given by the Nanyue Army and a letter is issued to Guan Fang. Now he has proposed to let He Tengjiao be the governor of Huguang, your family has collected hundreds of thousands of rogues, and now it is difficult to clean up the scene, do you want my generation of scholars to act as a fig leaf for your Li family?

Even if I think so, I can't say anything. Once it is spoken, it will be a never-ending situation in the court. These words reached He Tengjiao's ears, which cut off the way for people to be promoted! Well, that's a governor too! And when he said this, he would make a mortal enmity with him. Why should you cut off other people's path to entry for the sake of a false name? After all, everyone is in the same vein as a saint, and monks don't kiss their hats.

However, Qin Liangyu, as a toast and a woman, how can he be the governor of Sichuan?!

"It's another move by Li to invite people to buy people's hearts!" The gentlemen of Kejia Zhengtu who were present defined Li Shouhan's proposal in their hearts. is different from He Tengjiao's rocket-like promotion, although there is no lack of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts, but, in comparison, He Tengjiao is also their fellow traveler. Everyone's meat rots in the pot. Moreover, many people also know that 90% of He Tengjiao's governor of Huguang is also a void. "I'm afraid that Huguang at that time will be one size smaller Fuzhou today! All the power is in the hands of Shi Lang! This pair of Weng sons-in-law is really a good family heirloom! ”

But Qin Liangyu is a woman in the end. It's okay to be a toast officer, or even a general soldier. Even if the first emperor inscribed a few imperial poems for her, it was okay to praise them. How can I be the governor of Sichuan?

"In today's Sichuan, there are many soldiers, and the imperial court has set up officials, so they naturally give priority to the armor of soldiers, recruit exiles, and restore agriculture and mulberry. Let me ask, who is more suitable than Lord Qin? If officials were sent to take office, there would inevitably be large soldiers, and if such an army and horses could travel thousands of miles to Sichuan, the imperial court would have pacified Sichuan a long time ago! In that way, all the adults and gentlemen can be ready-made in the past to be a Shuzhong Taishou in Jinguan City! "Li Shouhan's artillery fire is also not showing weakness, I am not targeting anyone, I just want to say, you civil officials are rubbish!

"On the war of soldiers, the white pole soldiers have restored their old outlook, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which can be called the crown of Shu. Now the pacification of Zhongzhou is adjacent to bandits, thieves, and rebels, and they are invincible, and more than a dozen prefectures and counties have been recovered, and the troops are approaching Chongqing Prefecture. ”

"On rewarding agriculture and mulberry, since returning to his hometown, Qin Zongbing has built water conservancy in Zhongzhou, Shizhu and other places, popularized improved seeds, implemented new agricultural tools, and promoted new crops. It has only been a few years, and it has already turned a barren land that relied on foreign food to make ends meet, into a land that can be self-sufficient in food and has a slight surplus. ”

"When it comes to the suitability of people and land, it is needless to say. The family of the husband and mother of Qin have been the indigenous people of Sichuan for generations, and they have been loyal to the country for decades. Today, the imperial court has awarded the name of the official title, which is bound to stimulate the morale of the military and the people in Sichuan, which can be described as a multi-task! ”

Although Li Shouhan has never been to Sichuan, he can't stand the merchants of Nanzhong from traveling all over the world, and the goods of Nanzhong are marketed to all parties. Therefore, he knows more about the situation in Sichuan than the Sichuan officials in the DPRK and China. What's more, Qin Liangyu also wrote to him at the beginning, asking him to help purchase a batch of ordnance and armor to restore the scale and morale of the white pole soldiers. On that day, Li Shouhan generously allocated her a batch of weapons and armor that were enough to rebuild the existing white pole soldiers. Because the two families are both so-called "Tusi officials", they have a close relationship. The fleet of the white pole soldiers, carrying tung oil, pig bristles, silk and other materials produced in Sichuan, went out of the Three Gorges to Yueyang, completed the delivery with the fleet of merchants in Nanzhong, and then transported the purchased weapons, armor, grain, cloth and other goods back to Sichuan. Among them, Li Shouhan ordered Nanzhong University to conduct research on the geographical environment and climate characteristics of Sichuan, and provide agricultural tools, seeds and other materials.

"Even if you can harvest dozens of catties per acre of land, it's good."

Seeds of crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, and peppers, as well as technicians who taught how to grow them, entered Sichuan with such thoughts.

If there was no material support from Li Shouhan and no farm tools and seeds provided by Nanzhong, Chungju Shizhu and other places would not have been able to restore the heyday of the white pole soldiers, but I was afraid that they would not even have enough to eat. Not to mention that in the face of Zhang Xianzhong's stormy and wildfire-like attack of the Great Western Army, he was able to keep his basic territory without falling behind.

"Qin Liangyu and He Tengjiao have all contributed to the country. I got it done. General, Mr. Huang, you have ordered you to send it to Huguang and Sichuan as soon as possible. In addition, I have another incentive. ”

Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu pondered for a while, "In the will, tell Governor Qin and Governor He that on the day of the recovery of the remaining capital, I and the two of them will meet in the remaining capital." Governor of Qin, I have prepared the seal robe of the Marquis of Zhongzhou and waited, and there is the crown prince Taibao plus. He Tengjiao, I also have the prince Taibao plus! ”
