In front of his confidants, Yuan Keli also said some high-sounding words meaninglessly, and these words were indeed sincere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The situation in the Ming Dynasty is different from that of the dynasties, and the status is different after the examination is lifted.

If you want to do something practical and make a name for yourself, of course, you still have to be a junior high, at least a second-class or above. And once you become an official, if you reach a certain age and there is no big boss to support you, you can live a very comfortable life when you resign and return to your hometown, and you can shade your children and grandchildren and become a scholarly family. Because there are Jinshi people, in the art industry can train a lot of qualified children, in the wealth and knowledge of the double insurance, as long as there are people in the Jinshi every few generations, in the township is no one dares to provoke the gentry family, in the field and business are guaranteed, in the local government affairs of the squires are grouped, the magistrates do not dare to despise the opinions of the squires, do not need official constraints, live a rich life, but also intervene in local government affairs, the clan has a status, the people respect, this is the Ming Dynasty scholars in the people or after the Jinshi lifestyle, It can be described as a standard person.

If the enterprising spirit is not strong, many officials will resign directly for one or two terms of office and return to their hometowns to enjoy happiness.

"Does the court have a saying?" Yuan Keli complained for a while, and couldn't help but be concerned.

"The emperor has royal approval." The staff said: "The emperor said: The minister will stay and listen to the referee, and the official should be in general, and there is no need to attack it in a chapter!" ”

"Alas, this must be Ye Taishan's first assistant to paste yellow, and the celebrant to paste yellow as a reply, not the emperor's tone."

"Well, yes."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse personally wrote very little Zhu criticism, which led to rumors that he was illiterate, and the emperor personally criticized very little, and sometimes he would dictate, and the tone was different from that of the ministers, and the ministers could hear it when they heard it.

The staff pretended to be relaxed and said: "The emperor has also been annoyed by the officials recently, and the party struggle has become more and more intense, I am afraid that although the emperor has not personally approved, he agrees with it in his heart." ”

Yuan Keli nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with this statement.

The emperor's dissatisfaction with the Imperial Court and the officials of the system in the matter has not been a day. In the second year of the Apocalypse and the third year of the Apocalypse, the emperor issued many times in an unusually harsh tone, but the atmosphere of the official can be said to have a long history, and the party struggle, the attack is more and more without a bottom line, it is germinated from the Wanli years, Yuan Keli is Wanli was an official in the early years of the court, and he knows a lot about this. After the middle and late Wanli period, the speech officials were completely reduced to a tool, and it also represented a kind of wind direction, Yuan Keli was attacked by the speech officials of all parties, and the prospects were indeed very bad, and it was difficult to continue to stay in office without strong support.

"Ask for it for me." Yuan Keli said: "Be sincere. ”

The staff responded, he originally did such a thing for Yuan Keli, of course he would not refuse. The official of the Ming Dynasty, even if the official is really guilty, as long as it is not a particularly serious crime, it is generally resigned and left, no one will chase and beat, if he is not guilty, the court will not be dismissed, if he is not guilty, the court will not be dismissed, if he is innocent, the court has no intention of retaining, even if the court retains some face for the dismissed officials, After all, voluntary resignation and dismissal are two different things.

The staff hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Dong Weng, this time Mao Shuai instigated people to attack, I'm afraid that Yan Guanzhong didn't exactly accept his money and did such a thing, it is estimated that there are still people who want to target Inspector Sun." ”

Yuan Keli said: "How can I not know about this matter? However, this cannot be said. ”

"Do you want to ask the superintendent to replace Mao Zhennan and resend the general to the Dongjiang River?"

"No." Yuan Keli categorically refused and said: "Dongjiang was founded by Mao Zhennan, and the generals under his command are all generals brought out by him, who can control it except him?" Once the generals are changed, the Dongjiang River is centrifuged up and down, and now there is still the power to contain it, and after the change of generals, I am afraid that it will be a mess of scattered sand, and there is nothing that can be done. ”

At this point, Yuan Keli saw it very accurately, and the staff knew it in their hearts, but they were really unwilling to give up, this time Yuan Keli was impeached, and the root of the impeachment turmoil was Mao Wenlong, and some people wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Yuan Keli to target Sun Chengzong...... Sun Chengzong was in western Liaoning, behind him was the governor of Tianjin, Li Banghua, to help him with the power of the water division, and then the governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli, many places worked together, and Liaoxi was as stable as Mount Tai, not only conservatively closed the door and Ningyuan, Juehua, but also pushed forward to Daling River and Jinzhou and other places, and then west is Guangning, if you can recover the hometown of Hexi, the strategic disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty to the Houjin will be pulled back a lot.

Yuan Keli also understood the meaning of the staff's words, since this matter had something to do with Sun Chengzong, it was better to find Sun Chengzong to design to calm public opinion, with Sun Chengzong's position in front of the emperor and his status in the Donglin Party far exceeding Yuan Keli...... Yuan Keli also taught the apocalypse, but his affection is far from being comparable to Sun Chengzong.

But Yuan Keli understands in his heart that Sun Chengzong doesn't like party disputes, and usually says that he is a humble gentleman if he hears good, but he has no responsibility when it is difficult to hear, and he has always taken an attitude of non-interference, non-support, and non-intervention in party disputes, but he has the position of the Donglin Party, but he does not have the responsibility of the Donglin Party, and the core of Donglin, such as Wang Wenyan and Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian and others have always taken Sun Chengzong's strong momentum, but they will never expect Sun Chengzong to charge into battle.

And the leader of the party is by no means a high-powered minister as later generations imagined, on the contrary, for example, the leader of the Zhejiang Party was Liu Tingyuan who only supervised the imperial history, not Fang Congzhe, who had a higher official position, and the leader of the Qi Party was Zhou Yongchun in the matter of Like, and the core of each party was this kind of official who dared to fight and dare to rush, and basically they were young or middle-aged, daring to fight and dare to rush, and were good at fighting. Among them, the cadres of the Donglin Party are good at bayonet blood, so the three parties are not opponents.

"Since Dong Weng doesn't want to bother Inspector Sun, how about going down to Phi Island?"

The staff worked so hard, Yuan Keli was also very moved in his heart, and said immediately: "I'll repair a book and bring it to you, but the important thing is to say that you tell Mao Zhennan that Dongjiang is indispensable to him, and I will never deal with him because of a small mistake, so that he must not doubt himself." Also, a gentleman can be bullied, but the court must not be bullied, otherwise it will definitely be wrong. Tell him, 'Don't be deceived', Cheche! ”

"Okay, let's leave immediately."

Yuan Keli sent this staff member to the eaves as an exception, watching the other party pass through the rain curtain and disappear outside the courtyard, he sighed, knowing that he was just doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven, since Mao Wenlong launched it, how could he stop the action so easily?

……

Yuan Keli's staff members had official positions in praise of painting as usual, and they decided to leave after explaining the matter at hand to other staff members that night.

Of course, there is only a boat from Dengzhou to Phi Island, Dengzhou has a water pass, and there are sea boats docking every day, but when this staff member went to the seaside, the water pass guard said to him: "Mr. Today is a coincidence, there is a big ship from Tianjin, here to replenish some goods and materials, ready to cross the sea to Phi Island, this big ship is very big, Mr. can take this boat to cross the sea, it is much easier." ”

This staff member was originally a little seasick, if it wasn't for the proprietor to solve problems, crossing the sea would never be allowed, since there was a big boat to sit, of course it was a good thing, but he hesitated and said: "I don't know which ship it is, if you don't recognize it, I'm afraid it will be in trouble." ”

"Fine." The guard said: "It's a sea ship with Yusheng, and it's used to coming and going, and it also has business dealings with Dongjiang Town on Phi Island." And Mr. Yusheng expected to know that it was our first-class big merchant in the north. ”

"I really know that." The staff didn't know the specific situation of He Yusheng, they only knew that it was a big businessman with great power and even the imperial court, but He Yusheng was at most buying goods and passing by in Dengzhou, and did not go ashore to operate, they had a branch in Linqing and Jinan Dezhou, which was a headache for the governor of Shandong, and it was not related to the governor of Denglai, so Yuan Keli did not pay special attention to this, but just paid a little attention to it.

"Since I know, the lower official will go and talk to them first."

The garrison is really enthusiastic, the staff around the governor can be said to be the third level of the official, even if the top boss of the garrison Haiphong Dao has to be polite with the staff, he immediately ran to the seaside anchored in front of the Yusheng ship, and said about the boat, seeing that the people on the boat did not object, he led the staff to the ship, set up the board and boarded the ship.

After the staff got on the ship, they inquired about the captain's call for Zheng Shaolai, so they found Zheng Shaolai and thanked him.

Zheng Shaolai said with a smile: "I can't thank you for this, this matter is the master of our Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang." ”

The staff noticed the two young men standing on the enemy tower in the bow of the ship, he was a little surprised, one is that the ship is really too big, the southerners are okay, and they will always see some big ships over the years, but in the north, larger lucky ships are rare, not to mention this big ship from the Netherlands, when the staff boarded the ship, they felt that the hull was huge, about three or four times the size of the serious sea boat he had sat in before, and the fishing boats were even farther away. First of all, there are many sails, and then you can see that the materials are very elegant, and the carpentry work is also quite meticulous...... I have to say that the Song Dynasty was still leading the world, and the Chinese navigation and shipbuilding industry in the early Ming Dynasty was still majestic, both of which were backward at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Europe has always attached great importance to technology and craftsmen, and it is not surprising that their craftsmanship is accumulated, and at this time it far surpasses that of China.

As for the bow two-storey bow tower, it is very conspicuous...... In fact, this ship is not a Galen ship in the full sense, it seems to be a mixture of a Spanish-style Galen ship and a Clark galleon, the bow is tall is the characteristic of a galleon, and the four-masted and low-board sides and the gun emplacements on both sides of the hull are the standard Galen ship style, and the Galen ship is actually a large tonnage, generally about 300 tons to 1,000 tons, so as to be worthy of the word "battleship", this ship is a super ship on the side of the Ming Dynasty, in Europe is just an ordinary slightly larger schooner, far less than the standard of the main battleship.

Even so, for Yuan Keli's staff, the ship in front of him was too big, and the bow of the ship was similar to an enemy tower, with artillery on it, and it looked very sharp and mighty.
