Chapter Ninety-Four: Liu Zongzhou
The monkey is already a Ben San person, and in this era he already belongs to the older middle-aged people, and in the context of the serious imbalance between men and women, it is really a luxury to stay here to find a daughter-in-law.
"Of course it's good, I'll accompany you to the county government again, let's go together, and we will take care of each other." Dashan said happily.
……
According to the process, the county government first gathers those who are willing to immigrate and then sends them to the state capital, and then from the state capital to Yunnan Province, and then from Yunnan Province to Longchuan, where they divide their daughters-in-law, plough cattle, and divide fields. After the division was completed, it was brought back by the new officials of the state capitals and counties of Mubang.
Migration is in full swing, and after a month in the first stronghold, the Longteng Army officially enters the second planned stronghold. This stronghold is only a day and a half away from Mubang City.
After arriving at this stronghold, Xiong Tingbi ordered the whole army to camp on the spot, and then began the construction of the second fortress. The speed of construction of the second fortress has been completely compared to the first one, mainly because there is a problem with manpower, and the natives of Mubang have been driven around Mubang City by Xiong Tingbi or driven away from Mubang.
Most of the teams sent out by Xiong Tingbi to catch the strong men returned empty-handed, and less than 100 strong men were caught in a few days. However, Xiong Tingbi chose to build a fortress so close to Mubang City, which put great pressure on the Burmese Wood Coalition Army.
On the third day after Xiong Tingbi's army entered the stronghold, the Burmese allied forces once again discussed the matter of taking the initiative to attack.
"General, the Ming thief is only a day and a half away from Mubang City, stalling again, according to the scout's report, the Ming thief is building a fortress, if the Ming thief fortress is completed, the Ming thief can enter and retreat, I suggest a decisive battle with the Ming thief as soon as possible." Han Feng proposed.
"The Ming thief is now far away from Hanlong Pass, it is indeed the time for a decisive battle, the total strength of the Ming thief is only 25,000 people, but in fact, only 20,000 people are here, and there are 5,000 people left in the Wooden Dragon Fort, and our army has more than 40,000 troops, according to scout news, the Ming thief mainly relies on the bird gun, we had eleven years ago with the Franc machine man holding the bird gun in Sha Lian decisive battle, the first battle defeated the Franc man, in this battle we found that the bird gun once it encounters a rainy day will become scrap metal, so we must choose to fight in the rainy day."
"What the general said is very true, when it is rainy, we will go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Ming thief, and strive to defeat the Ming thief in a battle, maybe we can take the opportunity to enter Longchuan." Han Feng nodded and said.
"From tomorrow onwards, scouts will be dispatched, and I will know every move of the thief."
……
The Ming and Burmese armies are on the verge of breaking out, the number of scouts sent by both sides is obviously increasing, the scouts on both sides can often meet unexpectedly, small-scale clashes continue, and both sides also have their own victories and defeats in the scout war, and the number of casualties on the Ming side during this time is more than the time it took to enter Myanmar for a month.
The entire Longteng Army realized that a big war was imminent, and the atmosphere in the barracks began to become tense.
And when the decisive battle of Mubang was about to start, Liu Zongzhou, now forty-six-year-old, rushed to Jingshi, and his academic thinking at this time had matured and his reputation was far and wide.
Zhu Youxiao specially hosted a banquet to entertain Liu Zongzhou, who was known as the last Confucian master of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, what Zhu Youxiao admired most about Liu Zongzhou was that after his death in the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to achieve his own personality with his own actions, set an example for the declining world, and finally went on a hunger strike and forgot.
This is the second time that Zhu Youxiao has recruited Liu Zongzhou after becoming emperor, and Liu Zongzhou has offended Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao for the first time and has been dismissed. It has not been a year yet, and he was recruited by Zhu Youxiao again, and Liu Zongzhou still came.
"Mr. Niantai, I offended Mr. Wei Wei when he was in power last time, and I hope Mr. will forgive me." Zhu Youxiao said politely. Of course, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not take the blame, he blamed all the blame on Wei Zhongxian, a dead man.
"Your Majesty's sin? Your Majesty was just deceived by traitors, and now Your Majesty wakes up in time and works hard to make the country prosperous, which is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the people. Liu Zongzhou felt very comfortable with Zhu Youxiao's apology, but he definitely couldn't say something like "I accept the emperor's apology", and he was very natural to relieve the emperor.
"I have summoned you this time to prepare you to serve as the eunuch of the country." Zhu Youxiao said straight to the point.
"The wine of the kokuko priest?" Liu Zongzhou was very puzzled by this appointment. When he left the Beijing Division, he was already the right general secretary of the General Administration.
"Yes, I very much agree with what Mr. Niantai said: 'The decline of the world, scholars do not know what etiquette and righteousness are, and often do not know how to retreat. and its change, or retreat as advance. As for retreating as advance, the more skillful the hiding of the lower is, the more powerless the upper holding the world, and the whole world rashly runs in the field of sound and profit', and the Guozijian is the root of all corruption, and the corrupt style of the Guozijian has led to the decline of morale and corruption, and to change, we must start from the Guozijian. Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and said.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, if Your Majesty lets the minister serve as the priest of the country, the minister hopes that the system of regular supervisors will be abolished first." Liu Zongzhou said.
"Yes." Zhu Youxiao replied.
"After the minister serves as the Guozi Supervisor and the wine, the ancestral system will be restored, and the Guozi Supervisor system during the Yongle period will be strictly implemented." Liu Zongzhou continued.
"Yes." Zhu Youxiao replied without hesitation.
"For the time being, the minister will make these two requests." Liu Zongzhou said.
"In the future, Guozijian will still implement the points system, and only those who pass the points can have a chance." Zhu Youxiao emphasized.
"The minister understands, and the minister will strictly enforce it." Liu Zongzhou replied.
……
No one objected to Liu Zongzhou's appointment as the priest of the country, and even if anyone objected, they all felt that it was overkill. Liu Zongzhou's ability and qualifications are undoubtedly the best.
Liu Zong took office on Monday and began to rectify the problem of study style and clean up the yellow book prisoners. At one time, tens of thousands of prisoners were cleared out.
Of course, there are more and more recitals about Liu Zongzhou, but they are all suppressed by the cabinet or Zhu Youxiao. With the support of Zhu Youxiao, since Liu Zongzhou took office, the atmosphere of Guozijian has gradually been fundamentally reversed.
And Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan rushed to Diying Tianfu with a group of people, and along the way, the two of them were out of the limelight, and everywhere they went, local dignitaries and businessmen would take the initiative to entertain the two. Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan also looted all the way, and defrauded more than 10 million taels of silver along the way.
As soon as Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan stepped into the confines of Nanjing City, a group of people greeted them on the road.
