Zhou Zheng stayed in Yongping Mansion for four days, sorted out government affairs, and went down to inspect the people's situation.

Two days later, he convened a general meeting of officials at all levels in the whole government, and promoted more than 20 people with outstanding performance, and rewarded them with cash and acres.

The conference was very successful, and everyone was enthusiastic, and they all promised to charge forward for Zhou Zheng and promote the 'restoration of the ancestral system' in Yongping Mansion.

Zhou Zheng sat at the top, kept watching, happy in his heart, and nodded secretly.

With this period of time, Kou Huaiyi, Zhou Fang's order finally came, Zhou Fang was transferred to the magistrate of Changli County, and Kou Huaiyi was transferred to the magistrate of Funing County.

In addition, Zhang Heyi was promoted to the magistrate of Yongping County, and the magistrates of the three counties of Yongping Mansion are all Zhou Zheng's people.

Zhou Zheng chatted with them for a long time before sending them to the administrative office.

In March, Zhou Zheng had time to leave and went to the military camp in the east of Yongping Mansion.

Cao Bianjiao was training at the training ground at this time, his eyes were blazing, his expression was stern, and he shouted as he walked: "Hard! Hard! The more you work now, the better your chances of surviving on the battlefield! If you want to be promoted, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, give me strength! ”

The soldiers, half-naked, jumped with all their might, and at the same time shouted loudly in their mouths.

"Obey orders! Obey the command! ”

"Loyal to the Emperor! Defend the Ming! ”

The spirit of the soldiers is excellent, and they are also very serious and hardworking.

Zhou Zheng stood not far away, watching quietly.

Not long after, a soldier came to Cao Bianjiao and whispered.

Cao Bianjiao turned around violently, and saw Zhou Zheng looking at him with a smile not far away.

Cao Bianjiao said 'continue training', then turned around and ran in front of Zhou Zheng, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will see your lord." ”

Cao Bianjiao was rewarded as a 'guerrilla general' because of his great merits, and this official position is not a 'general', but under the generals, it is a big step forward, and he is a dazzling new star rising in the army.

Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Tell me about the situation." ”

Cao Bianjiao got up, and while inviting Zhou Zheng to the camp, he said: "My lord, the bereavement pension that should have been issued has been issued, and there is no omission, and the general will personally check it." At present, there are 5,000 people in the barracks, and the last general is working hard to recruit 10,000 people again......"

These Zhou Zheng already knew before they came that Cao Bianjiao would report whatever he did.

Zhou Zhengdao: "It's a good job. First suspend recruitment, I want to go to Tianjin Wei, first rectify Tianjin Wei, and then in Yongping Mansion, I have to do it again in Hejian Mansion, 10,000 people are easy. ”

Tianjin Wei itself has more than 10,000 people, according to the general requirements, 10,000 people in one government, Zhou Zheng has the right to raise more than 30,000 people!

Cao Bianjiao said: "My lord, are we all going to Tianjin Wei?" ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "The army is concentrated in Tianjinwei, and two thousand people are stationed in each prefecture for contingency. ”

Cao Bianjiao thought for a while and said, "My lord, the last general is just a guerrilla general, 30,000 people, which is not in line with the system. ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You are only in charge of training, the commander is your own official, and others can't say anything." ”

Cao Bianjiao didn't say much, and said, "Yes." The last general gave the order, cleaned up, and prepared to pull out the camp. ”

"I'm here for today, to hold a promotion meeting to promote and reward meritorious soldiers." Zhou Zhengdao.

"It's my lord!" Cao Bianjiao responded.

There is nothing more than promotion, cash, and acres of rewards to boost morale and buy people's hearts.

Zhou Zheng presented them with awards one by one, smiling and encouraging.

These soldiers were so excited that they all knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve my life for my lord!" ”

Zhou Zheng patted his shoulder with a smile and nodded.

The award rally was undoubtedly a great success, and the morale of the whole army was high and the future was bright.

In the third year of Chongzhen, in mid-March, Zhou Zheng, under the escort of Cao Bianjiao's 5,000-strong army, went south and went to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei, in fact, there are three guards, Tianjin Wei, Tianjin left and right two guards. According to the establishment, the full number of people in each guard is 5,600, and the number of people in the third guard should be 16,800.

In terms of military structure, it is commanded by the commander and subordinate to the Houjun Protectorate. However, the five armies have long existed in name only, and the commanders of the Tianjin Sanwei have long been gone, and the Tianjin Sanwei is often commanded by the Tianjin governor and directly belongs to the military department.

Therefore, there are a total of fifteen thousand households in Tianjin Sanwei leading the troops, but Tianjin Wei is okay during Li Banghua's period, and it has been very deserted in recent years.

The reason why Chongzhen asked Zhou Zheng to purge Tianjin Wei should also be because of the uneasiness caused by Jianyu's invasion of the capital.

Tianjin Wei is the gateway to Gyeonggi, where Zhu Di crossed the Grand Canal, all the way to Nanjing, and won the throne.

It is also the key point of north-south transportation, if it is interrupted here, the money and grain from the south will not be able to enter Beijing, and it is the most important distribution center from the south to the north!

Therefore, Tianjin Wei is not only a military strategic place, but also economically very important, and it is a place where soldiers must fight!

After years of development, Tianjin Wei is more than just a military base, with nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians under its jurisdiction!

There are also colleges and many yamen, including Caoyun and salt classes, which are all in the official offices here.

Zhou Zheng led an army of 5,000 into Tianjin Wei, attracting many onlookers along the way.

Officials at all levels of Tianjin Wei, especially the thousands of households who led the troops, had long been waiting for an audience in Zhigu.

Officials at all levels came to see because they had received the news that Zhou Zheng had already written to the imperial court, saying that there were many complicated affairs in Tianjin, and that there were too many officials to set up for unified management, and asked for the establishment of counties.

If the county is really set up, then everything such as personnel must be adjusted by Zhou Zhengzheng, if they don't show up quickly and make a good impression in front of the envoy, they will not be allowed to go home to farm?

And the thousands of households in Tianjin Sanwei heard that Zhou Zheng was going to drastically reduce the redundant troops of Tianjin Guard, and streamline the government, even if they were arrogant in Tianjin, how they played these officials, especially Qincha!

So, how dare they slacken?

Zhou Zheng just released two rumors, which made Tianjin Wei uneasy, and they came to the door to ask for a meeting, but no one dared to give him a horse.

At the same time, Chen Wuyong and others in Hejian Mansion were even more gloomy.

Wei Zhong looked at Chen Wuyong and said with a worried face: "My lord, do you really want to be transferred to Yongping Mansion?" ”

Chen Wuyong glanced at him and said, "The order of the officials will arrive tomorrow." ”

He Gong hurriedly said, "My lord, is there really no room for manoeuvre?" Yongping Mansion is a place where Zhou Xun pressed, and when he went, he was not overheaded? Besides, what can I do in Hejian Province? ”

Chen Wuyong kept a calm face and did not speak.

He Chen Wuyong has been in Hejian Mansion for four years, and he is not the Emperor of the Soil, so there is not enough reason for Wang Yongguang to keep him here forever.

Besides, some of his handles have been obtained by the officials, and he is being impeached, if Wang Yongguang stays strong, the officials will impeach Wang Yongguang for 'forming a party for personal gain', and at this time when the situation is chaotic, Wang Yongguang will not be charged with this crime because of him.

What's more, compared to going to Fengxiang Mansion in Shaanxi, Yongping Mansion is already much better, even if it is a shelf, it is better than going to Fengxiang Mansion.

Not only He Gong and Wei Chongzai of the left and right mansions, but also a few magistrates, they looked at Chen Wuyong without speaking, their hearts rose to their throats, and their faces were full of fear.

They all know what Zhou is doing in Yongping Mansion, Zhang Yonglian was taken to the capital and beheaded, and his cronies and henchmen will either die or be exiled, if Hejian Mansion also comes like this, can they be good?

How can the Ming Dynasty be an official, it is a check and a quasi, and there is no wrong!

Chen Wuyong looked at the expressions of a group of people, all of whom were 'common wealth' people, his expression moved, and said, "Zhou Xunji has arrived in Zhigu, let's go and meet him." ”

Zhigu, the central station of Tianjin Sanwei.

Everyone listened to Chen Wuyong's words, the corners of their mouths were bitter, and they didn't speak.

This time is equivalent to giving the head to Zhou Zheng, and what Zhou Zheng said is what.

But they don't dare to resist, the situation is stronger than people, what can they do?
