On April 13 of the third year of Daming Shenwu, Zhu Hongsan, who was far away in Guilin, Guangxi, had been repairing here for more than a month. The climate in Guangxi is very hot, which makes Zhu Hongsan, who was born in the north, very uncomfortable, so he stayed here in Guilin for a few more days. Zhu Hongsan's next step was to enter Guizhou, and then go south to Yunnan. Because of the news from Jinyiwei, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang had fled to Anlongsuo, Guizhou.

Although this place in Guizhou is full of mountains and Han and Yi live together, it is not a good place. But the geographical location of Guizhou is too important, he is just between Yunnan and Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty into the Sichuan Basin only two roads, one is from the north of Hanzhong into Sichuan, and the other is to take Guiyang, through Banzhou into Sichuan. Hanzhong was still in the hands of the Manchus, so to end the warlord secession in the Sichuan Basin, it was necessary to occupy Guizhou.

At the same time, Guizhou is still the nest of Sun Kewang of the Great Western Army entrenched in Yunnan, so Zhu Hongsan decided not to follow Zhu Youlang to Anlongsuo, but to set off from Guilin, enter Liping Mansion to Guiyang, and then decide what to do next.

Just when Zhu Hongsan was about to leave, a bunch of impeachment of Tong Tuchang in Nanjing arrived.

Zhu Hongsan flipped through these more than 20 folds, and said that they were all the same, Tong Tuchang brought disaster to the country and the people, signed a secret treaty with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and caused the Wuchang Navy to be wiped out, please Your Majesty behead Tong Tuchang and so on.

Zhu Hongsan picked up Tong Yangjia's fold again, which said that the failure of Wuchang was completely due to the inaction of the magistrates, and the Manchu Qing army of more than 200,000 troops gathered in Jiangbei, and they had no news at all, so the main responsibility for the failure of Wuchang should be borne by the governor Liu Siyi.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Yangjia's fold and nodded, the old man Tong was quite interesting, and did not say that Tong Tuchang was forced to go to the peace talks.

After reading it, Zhu Hongsan said to Zhang Huangyan: "Xuanzhu, what do you think? ”

Of course, Zhang Huangyan hopes to kill Tong Tuchang, but it is superficial to say directly, it is not what a master of conspiracy should do at all, Zhang Huangyan has also learned to use the situation to achieve his own goals in the past few years by Zhu Hongsan's side, so he did not rush to answer after listening to the emperor ask his opinion, but lowered his head and pondered.

Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhang Huangyan didn't speak, and asked, "Xuanzhu, what do you think about this matter when I ask you?" Didn't you hear? ”

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister heard it, the minister was pondering one thing just now!" ”

"What's the matter? Tell me about it! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is thinking that now it seems that the matter of peace talks is basically useless, and Ma Mingyuan, who agreed to the peace talks back then, has been deposed and is now living at home. Now that there is such a big thing in Wuchang, there should be someone in charge, but this candidate is very difficult to choose, so the minister was pondering just now! ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled in his heart when he heard Zhang Huangyan say this, this Zhang Xuanzhu has learned to play this routine after staying by my side for a long time.

Zhang Huangyan's meaning is already very clear, there were only two people who urged peace talks back then, one was Ma Mingyuan, and the other was the emperor. Ma Mingyuan is now unlucky to eat himself at home, does he let the emperor carry the black pot? So this black cauldron is only carried by Tong Tuchang. However, Zhang Huangyan has already learned ghosts, and saying it directly will inevitably offend Tong Yangjia, so he used words to wake up Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan is the kind of person who eats meat, I will come, and you will be killed, and immediately after settling the account, he said: "What Xuan Shu said is very reasonable, let's draft the purpose!" Tong Tuchang's peace talks were unfavorable, resulting in the defeat of Wuchang, the removal of all official positions, and the return of Zhishi! ”

Tong Tuchang is now the governor of Anhui, and now he has been swept to the end, which can be regarded as a big bad luck. Zhang Huangyan was happy to see Tong Tuchang's bad luck, and he was ready to make persistent efforts, and it was best to bring Tong Yangjia down together.

"Your Majesty, Tong Yangjia, as Tong Tuchang's uncle, is not conducive to his nephew's education, is he also jointly and severally responsible?"

Zhu Hongsan was amused when he heard Zhang Huangyan say this, this Zhang Huangyan is still tender, didn't you see Ma Jiyuan They just pointed the finger at Tong Tuchang, and it didn't involve Tong Yangjia at all, do you think Ma Jiyuan is kind-hearted and soft-faced? Ma Jiyuan's son died at the hands of Tong Yangjia's uncle and nephew, and he couldn't wait to kill Tong Yangjia directly. But Ma Jiyuan, as an old politician, knew that the country was now at war and the emperor was fighting on the front line. And Tong Yangjia is the elder in charge of the military department, and the emperor naturally can't move him in order to ensure stability, but Tong Tuchang, a governor and magistrate, has nothing to do with stabilizing the central government, so Ma Jiyuan pointed the finger at Tong Tuchang, and it didn't involve Tong Yangjia at all.

Zhang Huangyan is 28 years old this year, and he used to be just a person who was idle at home, and only five years ago he participated in the anti-Qing armed forces of Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu. When he came to Zhu Hongsan, he was directly appointed as the military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, and he was not like Ma Jiyuan who had been up and down in the sea for more than 20 years, and it seemed that he was still hairy.

Zhang Huangyan is a loyal person, and he is extremely upright, which is completely different from the villain Zhang Jiayu, so Zhu Hongsan educated Zhang Huangyan as the successor of the first assistant, and now it seems that staying by his side cannot educate him well, so he can only be put into the big dye vat of officialdom. Although officialdom is dangerous, there is a great chance that Zhang Huangyan will fall under the open gun and hidden arrows before he grows up, but how can he grow without exercise?

Look at Zhang Huangyan's previous military aircraft Zhang Jiayu, and now he is giving full play to the true character of the villain. Zhu Hongsan received a secret report from Jinyi Wei that Zhang Jiayu kowtowed and made a fuss in order not to be played to death by Liu Siyi, so he almost didn't call his father. However, Zhang Jiayu was so shameless and also forgiven by Liu Siyi, only living in the officialdom is fundamental, there is hope in life, and there will be a comeback one day.

"Xuanzhu, have you been by my side for almost three years?"

Zhang Huangyan didn't know why the emperor asked this, so he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the minister came to His Majesty's side in the second year of Hongguang to serve as the chief military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, and it has been almost four years!" ”

"Good! Xuan Zhu has almost experienced in the central government, so this time he will go to the local government to serve as a magistrate! ”

Zhang Huangyan heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and the deer in his heart collided, magistrate! Back then, Zhang Jiayu directly became the envoy of a province, and he didn't know what kind of official he could be? Now the official position of the chief military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department is from Wupin, and he is simply a low-level petty official in the central government, and even when he arrives in the locality, he is also the life of the governor, and I don't know how the emperor can arrange himself.

"Xuanzhu, how do you feel about going to a province to be a governor?"

Zhang Huangyan fainted when he heard that the governor was happy, the governor of the Shenwu Dynasty was different from the previous governor, the previous governor was just an official with the nature of Qincha, and he was set up at any time, and it was revoked immediately after the matter was completed. However, the governor of the Shenwu Dynasty has completely become a feudal official in charge of the military and the people of a province, which is simply the governor of the trumpet and the emperor of the province.

Zhang Huangyan summed up in his heart, which province is lacking governors now, Guangxi that has just been occupied is one, and the unlucky Tong Tuchang poured out the governor of Anhui, is it Anhui? That's the place to be!

How do you know that Zhu Hongsan continued: "Obviously, I am going to enter Guizhou next, and I have decided to change the Guizhou Xuanwei Division to a province, how about you go to be the first governor?" ”

Zhang Huangyan's originally fiery mood immediately became cold, Guizhou is not a good place, this place has a population of less than 2 million, more than half of them are still ethnic minorities, and more than 20 years have passed since the Lu'an Rebellion, it is really not a good place. But the emperor's exit is a holy decree, and Zhang Huangyan can't object to it at all.

"Your Majesty, the people of Guizhou are brave, and the ministers are afraid that they can't be suppressed!"

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will leave you a division, and transfer you 20,000 cold weapon troops, so it should be enough to deal with those barbarians who are still slashing and burning!"

Zhang Huangyan heard the emperor say this, and had no choice but to receive the decree and thank him. Although Guizhou is a poor place where birds don't, but China is like this, who can be poor and be an official? And the emperor directly promoted him from a fifth-grade official to a second-rank official, which is a great grace.

"Your Majesty, who is the new military aircraft after the minister leaves?"

Zhu Hongsan picked up the palace examination list sent by Nanjing, pointed to the name on it and said, "I'll use this person to replace you, Hou Fangyu!" ”

Hou Fangyu was imprisoned for burning Ma Mingyuan's courtyard, and he was supposed to get rid of his fame, but he knew that Ma Mingyuan was unlucky and was dismissed, and several of them were acquitted of burning the Ma family. Hou Fangyu then participated in the general examination and the palace examination held in March, and achieved a good result of 46 places, this time Zhu Hongsan saw the list sent by Nanjing before he remembered that he was a rival in love, so he decided to use this rival in love as his secretary.

"Xuanzhu, you draw up a will! Hou Fang Yu entered the military plane, and the official position gave him a sixth grade! There is also another holy decree written, Jiangxi Governor Zhang Jiayu attached Ma Mingyuan to the prefect of Jiujiang! Gong Dacheng, the secretary of the logistics department, has blurred handwriting and was transferred to the governor of Jiangxi! Guangdong Governor Lu Shiyuan was transferred to Guangxi Governor! Fang Feng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, made meritorious contributions to the impeachment of Tong Tuchang and was promoted to the secretary of the logistics department! Chen Bangyan, the inspector of Guangdong, had the courage to do things and was promoted to the governor of Anhui! Tang Qiu, the prefect of Leizhou, did an excellent job and was promoted to the political envoy of Anhui! Ma Shaoguang, the governor of Yong'an Prefecture, was promoted to the political envoy of Jiangsu! ”

Zhu Hongsan's large number of appointments cleared most of Tong Yangjia's forces in the court, Tong Yangjia's cheap old man Gong Dacheng was demoted to governor, and Lu Shiyuan's descendant was transferred from rich Guangdong to barren Guangxi, this is a beating on Tong Yangjia, don't think that you can do whatever you want if the emperor is far away, and your Tong Yangjia's net worth and life are in my thoughts.

At the same time, Ma Jiyuan's henchmen were promoted to official positions, which was to stabilize the central government. Needless to say, Fang Fengnian was the same year as Ma Jiyuan. Tang Qiu is also Ma Jiyuan's old subordinate who was the prefect of Leizhou, Ma Shaoguang is Ma Jiyuan's eldest son, and he has been refrigerated by Zhu Hongsan in Yong'an Prefecture for the past five or six years, and this time he has also been promoted. As for Zhang Jiayu, he completely asked for it, Zhu Hongsan cleaned him up completely because Zhang Jiayu was too arrogant, you are my confidant, but you can't take advantage of my favor to do evil.
