Time is the catalyst that changes everything in the world, because of its existence, many people and things will be inadvertently changed.

Maybe it's a good change.

Maybe it's a bad change.

I am afraid that no one thought that this wave of uprising that started in the first year of Chongzhen, in the past seven years, although there was a powerful grandfather like Zhao Zongwu in charge.

But also because of the continuous emergence of all kinds of disasters and famines in the Ming Dynasty over the years, coupled with the increasing corruption of officialdom and the bullying of the gentry, this also made the wave of peasant uprisings, although it was completely extinguished in the northwest, but in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, it showed a spreading trend!

It was also because of such a premise that Zhao Zongwu seized the opportunity to use the cruel reality on the grounds of the instability of the frontier and finally seek to obtain the important town of the Nine Sides.

The original five-sided marshal's mansion has become today's nine-sided marshal's mansion.

With the increase of the control of the frontier within the jurisdiction, the energy that needs to be invested and the links that need to be sorted out are also increasing geometrically.

Everyone in the world says that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, but that is more in the era of Chengping, in this place where there are already troubled times, many things are like a thousand things.

It took Zhao Zongwu five years to sort out the northwest land, how could the stubborn diseases accumulated over the years be completely eradicated in such a short time?

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

Unlike the governance of Liaodong, in this northwestern land, in addition to serious polar contradictions, there are also acute religious problems, and those local missionaries have clearly grasped the psychology of the foolish people, so that they can be powerful and prosperous in the local area.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the news from Ningxia Town, the eradication of local sect forces this time has achieved a phased victory.

Because of the guidance issued by the grandfather of the country, many stubborn diseases have been solved, especially the local people have really come forward to accuse and resist, so that those people who have been bewitched can slowly turn their minds. ”

After solving the problem of military cadets, Chen Qiyu started his busy day again, because of the region, the current stage of the northwest region, the need to use the army to assist the local model can be truly stable.

But on the other hand, Zhao Zongwu has been promoting the separation of military and government, which makes many instructions to assist the local government be conveyed through the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion, and the chief military officer of the border town is not allowed to make decisions privately.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "To deal with this kind of evildoer, we must use the most severe means to deal with it, good things can be absorbed, but doing things under the core of oppressing the people and converging wealth will not work here at all!"

Although the first phase of the campaign to eradicate local sects has been successfully completed, this follow-up monitoring still needs to be put in place.

Entrenched in the northwest region, it is absolutely impossible to completely eradicate the sectarian forces for such a long time, and it will inevitably move to the shadows next, but it is precisely this that makes the most difficult stage to control come! ”

Zhao Zongwu first affirmed what Chen Qiyu said, but then told what he thought in his heart, after all, this ideological thing has always been the most difficult to deal with.

Chen Qiyu said: "Grandpa Guo, what you said is right, for this point, the Nine Sides Marshal Mansion will definitely strictly control it, and will definitely not let the local sect forces resurge!" ”

Zhao Zongwu still has a lot of trust in Chen Qiyu's ability, which is why the authority in Chen Qiyu's hands will become more and more powerful.

As far as the northwest region is concerned at the present stage, one is the local sectarian forces, and the other is the local development, and if the forces are to really take root, they must solve these two important matters.

Just when Chen Qiyu was reporting this, Hong Chengchou came from outside.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the news from Gansu Town, the previous policy of consolidating the border and defending the border has completed the first phase of strategic deployment.

Through unremitting efforts over the years, corresponding water conservancy facilities have been successfully built in Gansu to ensure that more than one million displaced people who have migrated to Gansu can have the most basic water source guarantee.

At the same time, the local garrison in Gansu has completed the corresponding local handover, which also consolidates the local foundation of Gansu and lays a solid foundation for the next stage of entering the Western Regions! ”

Hong Chengchou said excitedly that for him, Gansu can achieve such results, which will ensure to the greatest extent that the strategy he proposed to enter the Western Regions can be implemented as scheduled!

With the change of the situation, the scattered leadership core under Zhao Zongwu gradually gathered together, and it was also under such a premise that the talents under Zhao Zongwu were far higher than those controlled by the imperial court.

It is also because of this premise that the competition under Zhao Zongwu is becoming more and more intense, of course, this kind of competition is benign, and it will not be as fierce as the party struggle of the Ming Court, in Zhao Zongwu, it is more of a competition of ideas.

For today's results, Zhao Zongwu can be said to have paid a lot.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said, "Okay!" Very well done! Gansu was able to stabilize, which also laid a solid foundation for the further development of our army.

At this stage, there is overcapacity in the Guanzhong region, and the Western Regions is a necessary place to connect with the outside world, whether the Silk Road can be restarted and whether it can be in the hands of our army will be related to whether the northwest region can be completely stabilized! ”

Standing in Zhao Zongwu's current position, his consideration is no longer a simple place and a city, he needs to consider joint development more, and local construction is only one of them.

In recent years, with the stabilization of the situation, Zhao Zongwu has been building in the northwest region, and some undiscovered coal mines and iron mines have been explored, and the infrastructure built in various places has guided the people everywhere to develop in the direction he expected.

Because of the continuous improvement of water conservancy facilities and the vigorous promotion of high-yield crops, the northwest region, which has always been barren, has completely got rid of the situation of not having enough to eat.

Without the appearance of Zhao Zongwu, countless people in the northwest region would have starved to death, and countless young babies had drowned, but because of his appearance, these bad habits have been reversed.

But in order to do this well, Zhao Zongwu spent five years, and in these five years, he can be said to have not had a good day of rest, in order to be able to get rid of the stubborn diseases that have been accumulated, the talents under his command can be said to be all spinning.

But even so, everything is just the beginning of correction, if the follow-up supervision and implementation are not in place, I am afraid that there will be repeated phenomena, so there are still many places that need Zhao Zongwu's attention, and there are many places that need his control!
