Chapter 112: Chu Mingzhi
Zhao Zongwu's words made Lu Xiangsheng have some doubts in his heart.
Originally, according to his idea, the outbreaks in Shaanxi would be pacified this year, and in two years at most, Shaanxi would be able to gradually restore peace.
But now that his grandfather is telling like this, this makes Lu Xiangsheng understand that his previous thoughts were a little too optimistic.
As if seeing Lu Xiangsheng's doubts, Zhao Zongwu slowly walked to the map of Guanzhong and told as if he was taking care of himself: "Today's court is no longer controlled by those shrewd courtiers, and many of them are secretly exerting all kinds of strength in order to be able to reach that position.
For them, they are no longer concerned about local suffering, but most concerned about the black hat on their heads.
At this stage, although Shaanxi is said to have failed to harvest crops due to drought, because the people in this place have no way to live, they have no choice but to rise up.
But Jiandou, have you ever thought about such a question.
If in the following time, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other northern borders of the Ming Dynasty have been hit by droughts, locust plagues and other disasters one after another, then we have simply rectified and stabilized a place on the surface, but if we face the situation that this prince just described, do you think that a place that has been rectified and stabilized by our army will have a rebellion and an uprising again? ”
What Zhao Zongwu told made Lu Xiangsheng's face suspicious, although he couldn't believe this assumption made by his grandfather, but the reason in his heart told him that once the situation told by Grandpa Guo really happened, then the consequences were really unimaginable!
Zhao Zongwu glanced at the shocked Lu Xiangsheng, and then said: "People can't be without a sense of crisis!"
Instead of being in a hurry at that time, it is better to take advantage of this Shaanxi Liukou to slow down the progress of our army in recovering some places, so as to take advantage of this time to really sort out the Shaanxi places thoroughly.
You have been in officialdom for a long time, although it is said that you have been an official in Liaodong for a long time, but in the situation of other officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid you have heard of it.
Coupled with your authority to control Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion and other places, I am afraid that during this time, I will also know a lot about what kind of officialdom exists in this Shaanxi territory.
Relying on this group of corrupt officials to rectify the place, this is obviously unrealistic, it just so happens that this duke set up the Dingguo Gong in the capital, rather than let those corrupt officials go to the troubled place, it is better for our army to slowly consolidate the foundation from the beginning! ”
After listening to what his grandfather said, Lu Xiangsheng finally understood what was going on, and at the same time, it also solved many of the previous doubts in his heart.
"Grandpa Youguo has set the tone here, so the next official will be able to implement it with confidence." Lu Xiangsheng's face was a little moved, and then he said: "Actually, my monarch has laid a solid foundation in Yulin Mansion earlier, and through this period of time, a group of grassroots officials have been forged among them, who can be used. Listening to Grandpa Guo's story today, Xia Guan actually has a word in his heart to tell Grandpa Guo. ”
Originally, Lu Xiangsheng had some doubts in his heart, but at this moment, all the doubts in his heart had been solved by himself, so he wanted to continue to offer advice to his father-in-law.
Zhao Zongwu smiled and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Lu Xiangsheng said: "In fact, at a very early time, Xia Guan knew that Grandpa Guo wanted to master the Nine Sides, because the bad situation of the Nine Sides seriously dragged down my Da Ming.
Jizhen is an experiment for you, and Ma Shilong, who is the chief soldier of Jizhen, has completed your various deployments very well, which also makes you more firm in your thoughts.
Originally, Xia Guan still had some doubts in his heart, but today Xia Guan does not have these doubts in his heart, you actually want to use this time to quell the Shaanxi Liukou Uprising, so as to achieve the goal of mastering the nine sides and rectifying the nine sides.
But if you want to do this, you will inevitably need to gradually grasp the territory adjacent to the nine sides.
As Grandpa Guo said, the court at this stage is no longer the court, and most of them are officials for promotion.
But if Grandpa Guo wants to complete such a deployment arrangement, he needs a large amount of money and baggage to support it, but it is obviously unrealistic to simply rely on Liaodong.
Therefore, the land of Guanzhong, which has the most boundaries in the nine sides, through the will of Grandpa Guo, go to let the land of Guanzhong truly get rid of the original erosive situation.
According to the development model of Liaodong, to really rectify the Guanzhong region, only in this way can you achieve the goal you want to achieve. ”
Zhao Zongwu listened to what Lu Xiangsheng said, but he was very surprised in his heart, he never thought that Lu Xiangsheng would actually think of this step of the situation, although the final result of the two of them was different, but the process of this deployment was surprisingly similar.
He really deserves to be a virtuous minister at the end of the Ming Dynasty!
"This kind of thinking is indeed very surprising, but at this stage, my father does not want to think about it so far." Zhao Zongwu stabilized his mind, and then said: "For our army, if we want to completely stabilize the border of Shaanxi, then our army can further mobilize according to the new situation. ”
For Lu Xiangsheng's interpretation, Zhao Zongwu chose not to agree, since Lu Xiangsheng has thought of this level of deployment, plus he has some ideas in his heart, then Lu Xiangsheng is unwilling to look at the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty from his heart, and will be completely trapped because of the corrupt officialdom.
For capable officials, it is actually a matter of suffering for them to look at the good side on the one hand and the bad side on the other.
Therefore, Zhao Zongwu chose to wait and see the changes, and let Lu Xiangsheng go to that step by step, so as to achieve a change in Lu Xiangsheng's heart, and then affect many officials around him, and finally even if they knew the ambition in their hearts, they would finally fall under their wings after several struggles.
During this time, he can also further increase the cultivation and be completely loyal to his outstanding talents.
Liaodong already has such a talent training mechanism, so in Shaanxi can also start to set up, the corresponding talent training mechanism.
Seeking the country is a very complicated matter, so every step must be taken solidly, otherwise once there is any problem in the middle, it will lead to many problems.
Zhao Zongwu didn't want the ambition in his heart to fall short because of a few unreliable progress.
He has endured seven years, so what about another seven years?
I believe that at that time, the advantage will be behind him.
