Chapter 657: The Wind Rises

When Zhou Zheng looked at Dolgon, Dolgon looked at Zhou Zheng like that.

He had not dealt with Zhou Zheng yet, and when Zhou Zheng was fighting with Huang Taiji, Dolgon had not yet emerged.

Dolgon's expression was resolute, his eyes sound, but his heart was secretly solemn.

He felt something from Zhou Zheng that Mingren didn't have - self-confidence.

Ming people face them, get a lot of solemn things, strong outside and dry in the middle, this week is different, he didn't take them as a thing at all, there is a trace of contempt and disdain in his expression!

Zhou Zheng and Dolgon looked at each other for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "I heard that you and Korqin are in-laws?" ”

Dolgon and Huang Taiji are brothers and brothers-in-law, and they married two Gege, the big and the small, respectively.

Dolgon's expression did not move, and he said, "Not bad. ”

The more Zhou Zheng smiled, he looked at Zhang Heyi and said: "After arranging for them, tell Cao Bianjiao, 20,000 cavalry, learn from these Jianyu people, and after a year, I will be of great use." ”

Zhang Heyi leaned over and said, "Yes." ”

Dolgon's brow moved, and he didn't speak, but he was actually very vigilant inside.

As for Ye Bushu, he kept his face strained and looked very nervous.

Zhou Zheng made some arrangements, and then turned around and went back to Beijing.

Dolgon and Ye Bushu glanced at each other, and the two didn't say anything, letting Zhang Heyi arrange it.

Tomorrow they will be very vigilant, and the five thousand men will be disorganized and redivided, and they will be arranged in seven directions, and there will be heavy troops to keep watch.

Cao Bianjiao and Man Gui, respectively, led the 10,000 cavalry required by Zhou Zheng, and were training day and night.

Zhou Zheng returned to the capital and directly summoned Sun Chuanting and Gao Hongtu to talk about things in the cabinet.

Sun Chuanting said: "In the name of Jingcha, the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate evaluated all officials inside and outside Beijing, especially focusing on changing the law, and observing the attitude of hundreds of officials towards the change. At the same time, we will purge the rule of officials and appoint officials who can do things......"

Gao Hongtu said: "My lord, at present, the order has been issued to the thirteen provinces, and the governor and the governor have issued a military order, and then, the government, the village, and the county have been like this, and the task has been set, and the responsibility has been implemented on everyone's head, and it will be completed within a time limit. ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and pondered: "To further enrich the local officialdom and strengthen the central government's control over the localities, our current shortcoming lies in the lack of available manpower." Jingcha is a good book, it must be vigorous and resolute, decisive and crisp, and do everything without dragging the mud and water, giving them room to fool. At present, we are focusing on solving two problems, the first is land, and strive to complete it in three years. If the land problem is solved, then it is equivalent to solving more than half of the problem. The second is taxes, especially commercial taxes, which can also solve a considerable number of people. Other problems basically revolve around these two things, we grasp the key points, don't get entangled, bury our heads in hard work, and strive to have a preliminary framework within five years, ten years, and basically solve the problem! ”

Sun Chuanting and Gao Hongtu glanced at each other, and said excitedly and solemnly: "Yes!" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the expressions of the two and said: "We will definitely encounter a lot of voices in the early stage, more backlashes, and mixed reputations, we must abide by our hearts and not waver." 'Changing the law' is the determination of the imperial court, no one can change it, regardless of the government or the opposition, anyone who can't change the law wholeheartedly, half-heartedly, and secretly stumble, can invite them home! ”

Sun Chuanting and Gao Hongtu both understood that this was Zhou Zheng once again explaining to them that he had a firm belief and would not be shaken by the outside world.

The two raised their hands and said in a deep voice: "Yes!" Keep in mind the lower officials. ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, asked the two to sit down, and began to talk about some things in detail.

Sun and Gao also talked about the problems they encountered, and the three of them discussed and made suggestions together.

While the three of them were discussing, the holy decrees, edicts, and newspapers issued by the emperor, the cabinet, and the six ministries were gradually digested in the capital, and there were gradually some voices.

These voices are not loud after all, they are still in a kind of 'thinking' stage, and they are not boiling over.

Zhou Yanru's silence made many people in the government and the opposition confused, and they were still waiting.

There is ambiguity on this side of the territory, but there is no ambiguity in the thirteen provinces outside Beijing, and the governors and governors jointly reported one after another, and then they summoned officials at all levels to talk, forcing them to make military orders, and those who resisted were deposed on the spot!

Such scenes are constantly staged throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Unprecedented opposition broke out one after another in various places, not only in the rebuttal of the book, impeachment, but also in the midst of the madness.

Words such as 'shaking the country', 'violating the ancestral system', and 'destroying the country' were overwhelming, almost drowning the government and the opposition.

The entire imperial court faced tremendous pressure, and these pressures converged from one individual, and finally to the imperial court, to Zhou Yanru, and Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng is naturally fearless and ignores it. Zhou Yanru felt that he had a big mountain on his back, and it was difficult to walk, and he couldn't sleep at night.

As soon as the first month passed, Zhou Yanru was a little unbearable, first to increase the officials, and then to reduce taxes, and then to announce this year's Kaienke and so on, in an attempt to win the hearts of the people and reduce the scolding.

But these did not weaken the scolding among the scholars, especially the Fushe in Nanjing and the Yantai Society in Beijing, which were combined into one, with more than 5,000 people and tens of thousands of followers.

'Erzhang' held a meeting in Huqiu, and with a joint letter of 8,000 people, he criticized the "change" of the imperial court, and demanded that Zhou Yanru, Zhou Zheng and others "rein in the precipice" and restore the court.

There are more than 8,000 people, and there are very few who repeat the imperial examination, most of them are in the official or have been in the office, and there are many former officials of the six ministries, plus Qian Qianyi and others echo it, and the momentum is really vast.

Zhou Yanru's second entry into the cabinet that year, there was the arch of the Restoration Society, this time the Restoration Society was clearly going to fight with the 'change of law', and there was no scruples, and the handle of Zhou Yanru in his hand became a sharp weapon again, half hidden and half leaked.

In such a surging criticism, if you are not careful, you may fall into the sand, how dare Zhou Yanru be careless.

He first put pressure on Qian Qianyi, and then he had to transfer the 'second sheet' out of Beijing, and at the same time make up the list of Enke's scientific expeditions this year, a series of means, very tough.

Zhou Yanru expected that these people would succumb because of their 'official position', but he didn't expect that they would be extremely angry.

Countless Taoist scripts flew into the General Political Envoy Department, and pointed their heads at Zhou Yanru, accusing him of being a 'thief of the country', 'doing nothing', and 'a vegetarian corpse'.

Because of the change, many people couldn't find the spearhead, or the ultimate 'culprit', and for a while, they rose up and attacked Zhou Yanru frantically.

Not to mention the impeachment of the government and the opposition, blocking Zhou Yanru's gate, and scolding countless people outside the cabinet compound, Zhou Yanru could go out, but he couldn't go back, so he had to hide in the cabinet compound and not come out.

Not only him, but all the big officials in the court, none of them were spared, and almost no one was not attacked, but whenever he went out, he shouted, it was a large group of people who rolled up their sleeves to fight, and it didn't matter who it was.
