Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, first give you an early year, we can finally reunite with our loved ones after a busy year, this is the happiest thing. Those friends who still have to stick to their posts should not be sad, the prosperity of a family and the prosperity of a nation always need someone to fight and pay for it.

Chinese civilization has a long history of 5,000 years, and our ancestors told us that gentlemen should strive for self-improvement. For example, the custom of going home for the Spring Festival, but when we encounter any difficulties, we all join the Spring Festival army without hesitation.

Of course, everyone will encounter all kinds of setbacks and unsatisfactory in their journey, just as Fang Yueshi of the Song Dynasty said in "Commander Beizicai" that "unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, and they can be the same as those of the language", so we must strive to change our situation and make it rich and exciting.

To get back to the point, Zuo Zhan tried to carry out the reform of the land and return to the river in the southwest, but met with unprecedented opposition. Due to Zhou Jiamo's rebellion that day, Ye Xianggao and others were temporarily frustrated, and they immediately counterattacked after being silent. Under his instruction, Han Geguang said conclusively:

"Qi Shengshang, although the Jianyu is still defeated, there are also Jurchen tribes such as Tunguska, Beishan, Yehe, etc., and the Horqin Department on the grassland is also the two ends of the first rat, and Weichen believes that the center of gravity of the imperial court should continue to be placed outside the Guan. At present, the southwest is temporarily stable, and it is really not appropriate to add more incidents and shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

These people obviously came prepared, and what they said was the truth, Zuo Zhan had no choice but to say patiently:

"What Han Aiqing said is true, I will think about it seriously, is there anything else that others need to add?"

Zhou Chaorui saw that the little emperor was retreating, and then said:

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the southwest region is mostly poor mountains and bad waters, with many ethnic minorities and chaotic living habits. Since Emperor Taizu Gao sent Mu Guogong to guard Yunnan, our dynasty has implemented a moderate ethnic policy, and made them obey the imperial court through subtle guidance. ”

Zuo Zhan understands these objections very well, after all, he is working backwards from the known results to formulate countermeasures, so he said without hurry:

"The opinions of the two Aiqing are reasonable, but the situation in Liaodong and the southwest is very similar, if you agree to develop Liaodong because of the rebellion, will you wait for the rebellion in the southwest to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream?

I thought that the environment in Liaodong was more difficult than that in the southwest, but Nurhachi still caused great trouble to our dynasty and tried in vain to fight against it. If I hadn't gone on a crusade myself, the outcome would not have been known, would it? Therefore, you Aiqing should take a long-term view, don't always worry about the small profits in front of you, and you can't sit back and enjoy the dream of a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

Ye Xianggao refuted their opinions when he saw that Zuo Zhan was tepid, and decided to go into battle shirtless, saying:

"During the reign of Cheng Zu, he conquered South Vietnam three times, and finally abandoned the plan to set up a state capital there and incorporated it into a vassal state. There are two reasons, one is that the local area is not civilized, and the people are not easy to manage. Second, the economy is scarce, and the output is not enough to support various expenditures.

The minister believed that the four southwestern provinces were the same as those of South Vietnam, and that Liaodong had been initially decided, and that various localities needed relief, so it was not the best policy to rashly implement the reform of the land and return to the river. As the "Sima Law" says: "Although the country is big, the warlike will perish", please enlighten the saint. ”

Zuo Zhan saw that the snake's head was out of the hole to make trouble, and he decided to beat seven inches with a stick, so as to suppress the status quo of heavy literature and light military force, and said with a gloomy face:

"Ye Aiqing is well-informed and knowledgeable, and should know that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the surrounding wars have not been interrupted, Tatar and Warat in the north, Tubarian in the northwest, Tusi in the southwest, Wakou and Hongmaoyi in the southeast, and Jurchen in the northeast, these neighbors have caused a lot of trouble to our dynasty. I take history as a mirror, learn the lessons of the past and decide to be prepared for danger in times of peace, just as Ye Aiqing quoted "Sima Law" has the next sentence: Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous! ”

Seeing that Zuo Zhan was talking eloquently, everyone was speechless. Zhu Kuiyuan, who was in charge of changing the land and returning to the stream, thought to himself that the little emperor knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains, and said cautiously:

"The saint looks at the future and considers the long-term plan for future generations, and the old minister is willing to smear his liver and brains. It's just that this national policy involves six departments, and if you only send ministers and generals such as Qin and Yuan, I'm afraid that you will lose your grace. It is not a pity for the ministers to die, and they really don't want to affect the prestige of the saints. ”

Zhu Kuiyuan's meaning couldn't be clearer, it is not enough to just level the army, and all the departments of the imperial court also need to work together. Zuo Zhan secretly thought that any change was an exchange of interests, and as long as he gave enough benefits, someone would naturally follow him, so he said:

"What Zhu Aiqing said is very true, today's court meeting only determines whether it is feasible or not, and the specific plan will be drawn up by the cabinet. At present, I want to announce one thing, amnesty for Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng's relatives, subordinates and others to be confiscated as military soldiers, move them back to their hometowns, and the imperial court will be responsible for their resettlement.

In addition, the Song Dynasty General Yue Fei was posthumously honored as the Marquis of Loyalty, and his seventeenth generation Sun Yue Zhenbang was knighted. Posthumously crowned my dynasty Qi Jiguang as a loyal and brave marquis, and his eldest son Qi Zuoguo was promoted to the title of Jinan Mansion. Posthumously crowned Yu Dayou as a loyal marquis, and his eldest son Yu Zhigao was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Fujian. The former military department Zuo Shilang and the governor of Zhejiang investigated Hu Zongxian, loyal to the country, meritorious in resisting the Japanese, and pursued Xiangmao. Their descendants can enter the Taixue, and I will personally test the selection of talented people. ”

Everyone was still pondering about changing the land and returning to the stream, and suddenly heard that the little emperor was posthumously awarded the title of anti-Japanese hero, and even Yue Fei, the anti-gold hero of the previous dynasty, suddenly dizzy. Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were also puzzled, last year the imperial court rewarded the three armies, but several generals who followed the emperor did not receive the reward, I don't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd.

After Zuo Zhan and other ministers calmed down, he said slowly:

"In the battle in Liaodong last year, Huang Degong and Cao Wen's troops were in danger, attacking Jianjiao from the rear and capturing countless prisoners. Later, Huang Degong took the lead in the encirclement and suppression of Mang Gurtai in Yizhou, and set many records for the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. In the bloody battle of Salhu, Qi Changguo, Qi Xingguo, Yu Dingbian, and Li Xingbang followed me with only 5,000 tigers and Yulin to dare to attack Huang Taiji's 60,000 army.

I am not mean and unkind, but they are my confidants, and it is inconvenient to interfere with the reward and punishment system of the imperial court. How to reward Sun Chengzong, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, drew up a plan and submitted it to the Military Aircraft Department for review. ”

Regarding the little emperor's arrangement, everyone suddenly realized when they heard about it. This not only consolidated the status of Sun Chengzong, the new secretary of the military department, but also promoted a large number of military upstarts, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As for the position of the governor of Jiliao, Xiong Tingbi took over, and was also responsible for the resettlement of the Chahar Department that moved inward. The command department of the Nuer Gandu Division was restored, with Hong Chengchou and Li Rubai serving as the chief and deputy commanders, responsible for clearing the remnants of Huang Taiji.

Nuer Gandu Division was established by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and its predecessor was the Marshal Mansion of Zhengdong of the Yuan Dynasty. It is located in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, on the east coast near the estuary, opposite Sakhalin Island. Since this institution is for military purposes, the local economy has not developed.

By the time of Xuanzong, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were divided into Tatar and Warat tribes, and the Jurchen people were also scattered, and this institution had no substantive significance. In order to pursue a policy of recuperation and recuperation, Zhu Zhanji abolished the Nuer Gandu Division after abandoning Annam.

This decision was correct at the time, but it also laid a hidden danger for the decline and fall of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the decline of the influence of the Ming Dynasty outside the Guan, the Tatars and Warats successively became dominant, and the Jurchen tribes gradually rose. At present, Russian merchants began to operate in the area of Trin, and in order to facilitate trade, they decided to build the city of Yakusk, which is the bane.

Of course, this policy has become the target of public criticism, and not only the Donglin Party opposes it, but even the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department do not agree with it. At that time, Zhu Zhanji still had the "rule of Renxuan" and did not dare to develop these bitter cold places, and now the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, and it is really not appropriate to waste national strength.

Zuo Zhan was not annoyed by these objections, after all, he was looking back on history as a descendant, and he had to follow historical materialism, and only after thinking about it again and again did he say slowly:

"Just now, I counted the threats around the Ming Empire, but here I am even more severe. Although there are still hidden dangers in Jianyu, I heard that there are also Rakshasa merchants and Japanese robbers in the Trin area, and it will be difficult to recover them in the future if you don't plan early. The Chahar tribes on the steppe moved inward, but the Khalkha and Jungar tribes in the west are bound to take advantage of the opportunity to rise, and the threat to Hami, Hetao, and Gansu in the future is no worse than that of Tatar.

On weekdays, when these barbarians bow down to their subordinates, you consider yourself the superior state of the Celestial Empire, and when people enter the door, you will be shrunken turtles one by one. Nurhachi's rebellion is an example, the Liaodong army is retreating, the merchants of the Beijing division move their families south, and Sun Chengzong guards the Shanhaiguan when hundreds of thousands of strong refugees in disguise want to pour into the pass, this is the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Zuo Zhan tore off the last fig leaf of the imperial court, and everyone couldn't help but lose face, and the so-called Heavenly Dynasty was just an excuse for a corner of peace. Hearing that the little emperor counted the past, Fang Congzhe pondered the holy will and said:

"It is a great blessing for the country that the Holy One can be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions! The old minister is willing to follow the virtuous monarch, and he will not hesitate. ”

Since Han Xi, Yang Lian and others entered the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, the old fox, rarely showed up, and everyone saw that he took the lead in expressing his position and followed suit, Zuo Zhan continued with the east wind of the old fox:

"Since I ascended the throne, I have not hesitated to use the Bank of China to stabilize Liaodong and provide relief to the disaster situation in Gansu and Shandong, but the form of the whole country is not optimistic. Internal droughts, floods, plagues, insects, and plagues alternated, and the southeastern prefectures and counties often suffered from hurricanes, and the southwestern Tusi was capricious, and it was estimated that there would soon be a rebellion.

Externally, in addition to the pressure from Mongolia in the north, the pressure at sea is not small. In addition to pirates such as Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang, Hongmaoyi also occupies the area of Ma Ge Temple, and recently started the idea of Xiaoliuqiu. In the 31st year of Wanli, Hongmaoyi slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty in Luzon, and now the situation is to enter the country to cause chaos, and its threat is no less than that of the Japanese in the reign of Sejong.

With such internal and external troubles, I walk on thin ice every day, for fear that the inheritance of my ancestors will be lost in my hands. At that time, the Jurchens and Mongols entered the Central Plains, and the north was ten rooms and nine empty, and the population was almost extinct, which was a catastrophe for Chinese civilization. I don't want to be the king of the fallen country, let alone become a sinner of the Chinese nation, so I will start this year to implement a planned economy that focuses on valuing commerce and strengthening the military, and formulate a major military and political plan every five years, striving to restore production in the interior within 20 years and solve the hidden dangers in the surrounding areas. ”

At the beginning of the new year, as Zhu Kuiyuan's army marched to the southwest, the new policy of the Apocalypse formulated by the Left War began to be implemented in an all-round way. The second is to use the apocalypse calendar, with the Western clock as the unit of timekeeping. Third, it is necessary to carry out military reform, establish military academies, vigorously develop firearms, and form a modern army. Fourth, a whip law was implemented to re-measure the land, and the tenant farmers paid taxes to the state according to the area and quality of the land. Fifth, it is necessary to implement the use of cash-for-work to build water conservancy, roads, bridges and other infrastructure throughout the country. Sixth, it is necessary to popularize foreign crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes to increase the total output of land. Seventh, encourage the mainland to do business and open up overseas trade under the leadership of the state. At the same time, it will build new warships, vigorously develop the navy, and recruit pirates to jointly fight against the Hongmaoyi and protect the safety of overseas Chinese. Eighth, the royal family was allowed to do business, but the corresponding clan was abolished, so as to reduce the financial burden.

In order to prevent officials from being passive and slacking off in their work, the first-question responsibility system and the lifelong responsibility system have been added on the basis of the examination method. As long as there is a problem during the tenure, no matter how the person concerned is transferred, or he has resigned, as long as he has not entered the coffin, he must be arrested and held accountable. For irretrievable economic losses, they shall be repaid by their descendants on a monthly basis.
