Zhou Zheng's remarks in the cabinet caused a rare calm in the government and the opposition.

No one is framing, no one is jumping up and down, as if the government and the opposition are working together to promote the change.

This harmonious atmosphere gives people an extremely unreal feeling, as if it should not exist.

The eight ministers of the cabinet, all of them are busy, and they don't stop for a moment, and the atmosphere of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is changing rapidly, giving people a feeling of 'Qingming'.

In June, this feeling became more and more intense, there was no external enemy, there was peace inside, and the government and the opposition burst out with enthusiasm, single-mindedly doing things, and moving forward bravely.

Zhou Zheng summoned all the governors and governors of his department to the capital for a meeting, and used Nanzhili as a template to work together, learn from experience, and promote the orderly progress of the reform of the law throughout the country.

Together with the officials of the six ministries and others, more than 30 people ate and lived in the Zhou Mansion for three consecutive days.

After that, an enlarged meeting was held in the Cabinet, and finally, the Cabinet issued a unified report.

That is, the imperial court worked together to support the reform of the law, seek the Ming Revolution to eliminate maladministration, and prosper forward.

The Cabinet once again issued a report to the Cabinet, which undoubtedly had a great impact on the localities, bringing about the forces of law change and compressing the forces of the Cabinet.

In mid-June, Zhou Fang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, shook 1.2 million yuan and 200,000 people, and carried out large-scale renovation of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and other major roads, striving to 'be free of major troubles in five years and ten years', involving the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and its tributaries, plus various canals, and so on.

From Shaanxi to Jiangnan, you can see the vast tide of migrant workers almost everywhere.

As for the special rectification of river and canal irrigation, it was handed over to the local government, and 2 million silver was allocated, starting from Nanzhili, covering all key grain areas.

As for official roads, bridges, and the Ministry of Industry even entrusted them to the private sector, and implemented them in sections and places.

The projects are vigorous and unstoppable.

With the support of Zhou Zheng, Nanzhili is extremely rich, constantly throwing money, and the change of official positions has attracted a large number of people's hearts.

In September, Zhou Zheng and Gao Hongtu came to Shaanxi and Tongguan.

Shaanxi Governor He Yiming, Governor Chen Binli, Xi'an Governor Peng Dezhi and others accompanied them to inspect Tongguan.

He Yiming accompanied Zhou Zheng and introduced: "My lord, Tongguan has been repaired several times, and it is still the second Xiongguan in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack......

"Shaanxi's various rivers of all sizes, Zhou Shangshu has also done it himself, has dredged most of it, no matter how heavy the rain this year is, it has not been troubled, and it has covered a thousand years......."

"Shaanxi was completely destroyed by thieves, and the law change is unimpeded, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and chaos and bandits occur from time to time, and the ministers will do their best to restore the people's livelihood ...... Shaanxi."

Zhou Zheng listened and nodded slightly, He Yiming and the others still made a lot of effort, and Shaanxi had recovered some vitality.

Gao Hongtu said: "The imperial court's support for Shaanxi will only increase, not decrease, and you should not slack off, it is still far from recovery." ”

He Yiming and others said yes, and they said the importance of Shaanxi.

Shaanxi is the most important place to support Gansu and other northwest China, and the grain and grass transshipment place has a very high strategic position.

Zhou Zheng has been talking less, watching and listening more along the way.

In July, Zhou was holding a conference in Shaanxi, commenting on various things and deploying specific tasks, and then left Shaanxi and went to Sichuan.

Zhou Zheng was in Sichuan, meeting with Qin Liangyu and other Sichuan military generals, talking a lot, listening a lot, and seeing a lot of places.

Sichuan used to be the land of abundance, but now the disaster is harsh, and it is very far away from the capital, the road is difficult, and life is really not easy.

Zhou Zheng was appeased again and again, and then left and went to Gansu Town.

Man Gui and Cao Bianjiao had been waiting for a long time, and the three of them stood on Jiayu Pass together, looking at the northwest.

Man Gui touched his beard and said, "Dingguo Gong, this grassland is too big, I have gone out with Cao Zongbing many times, if it is not a compass, it is easy to get lost." ”

Cao Bianjiao didn't speak, his expression was full of confidence.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "How are your 20,000 cavalry training?" ”

Man Gui looked upright and said, "I won't tell you this, even if we fight with Jianyu, we can fight!" ”

Cao Bianjiao was cautious at this time, and said, "My lord, I think it still has to be tested in actual combat." Jianyu is not so belligerent, and if he uses the desperate fighting style before, he is afraid that the adults will be very distressed. ”

Just these 20,000 cavalry, if they are defeated, Zhou Zheng will definitely be very distressed!

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "This Horqin in Mo Nan is the most suitable. Liuzhi, in my name, sent a letter to the Great Khan of Horqin, asking Horqin to sever relations with Jianlu and submit to my Ming Dynasty, otherwise the army will be conscripted and the punishment will not be smooth! ”

Liu Liuzhen said: "Yes." ”

Man Gui blinked, and said impatiently: "When will you fight?" ”

Korqin will definitely not agree, they will ride the wall, or even stand on the side of Jianyu, and it is inevitable to fight.

Zhou Zhengdao: "You see the opportunity, you don't need to ask for instructions, that is, there are small defeats, not big defeats, and training is the main thing." ”

Cao Bianjiao replied: "Yes, the last general remembers." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted, looking at the scenery of Saibei, it was really refreshing.

Man Guimian was careless and careful, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he said: "I heard that there is no peace in the capital, and someone has been calculating you, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "If there is anything you can do, give me a good fight, and after beating him, we can go to fight Jianyu." ”

Cao Bianjiao and Man Gui both had expressions that moved, this matter was expected, but it was unexpected.

It is expected that sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will fight Jianyu, which is already a big problem and it is impossible to coexist. Unexpectedly, because the Ming Dynasty is very weak now, and it is a critical moment for changing the law, do you really want to take action against Jianyu?

Zhou Zheng looked at the expressions of the two and said, "Only when everyone else is letting go can you take it by surprise." ”

The two nodded slightly, but worried.

Success is gratifying, failure, may repeat the battle of Salhu in the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty lost Liaodong again, the situation in Liaodong was corrupted again, and the Ming Dynasty was unable to clean up in a short time.

The Ming Dynasty and Jianyu, the offensive and defensive switch, returned to the Apocalypse, and the Chongzhen period.

Zhou Zheng would not say this to them, and said: "Tomorrow, we will go out of the customs together, I also want to see the grassland, it has grown so big, and I have never been out of the customs." ”

Man Gui put those aside and said loudly: "Okay, let's go to Horqin tomorrow to see if they dare to fight with us!" ”

The soldiers around raised their swords and shouted, eager to rush out now.

Zhou Zheng was quite satisfied with such morale, and with his hands behind his back, he had some expectations in his heart.

The next day, Zhou Zheng took Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao and 20,000 cavalry out of the customs, wantonly crisscrossing the grassland, this feeling of the vastness of the world is really too comfortable!

Horqin naturally did not dare to fight, but instead sent cattle and sheep and other comforts.

Korqin is also too weak to withstand a battle with the Ming Dynasty.
