With the gradual stabilization of the situation in various parts of Liaodong, the officers and men of the Central Military Commission can finally take turns to rest and recuperate in their respective stations. For more than a month, Li Ming could only sleep for two or three hours a day, which really burned him down.

The places in Liaodong slowly calmed down, and Li Ming finally had a chance to make up for a few days of sleep and slept groggyly. It's strange to say, I didn't sleep every day before, and I wasn't as sleepy as I am now, and the more I slept, the less energetic I became.

Now Liaodong is in ruins, and the people of the Military Commission can rest, but Li Ming can't be idle. Who let him still be a member of the Standing Committee of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, so Li Ming rested for a few days, and then went to the Ethnic Affairs Committee to continue to be busy with everyone.

Wang He led a group of people from the Ethnic Affairs Committee to formulate various policies and regulations, as well as plan administrative institutions, in preparation for the future founding of the country. The work is very cumbersome, but a group of employees who used to be in the system, as well as a few people who worked in the legal system back then, are like chickens, and they get together every day to study and debate day and night.

Sometimes they are divided into several factions, with a red face and a thick neck, and their eyes are red, like a group of fighting cocks. If it weren't for the king's coordination, they would have to fight.

Li Ming really didn't have that much energy to participate in it, so he simply went down to the grassroots level to avoid these hot-blooded older youths. He is now in charge of all the work in Liaoyang, and he has begun to get up early and be busy again.

Once you get into a stressful state of work, time becomes faster. Every day when you open your eyes, you have to deal with a lot of bad things, but as the top leader of the Liaoyang region, Li Ming has an unshirkable responsibility, and he can only patiently solve them one by one.

As soon as Li Ming got up today, he received a call from Gao Jianguo, asking him to go to Shenyang immediately, and the company was preparing to hold an emergency meeting of the board of directors. There must be something important to study, so Li Ming arranged the work later. Got into a jeep and rushed back to Shenyang.

Li Ming got out of the car in front of the door of the Liaodong Management Committee, and just wanted to go in when he saw a truck driving over, and as soon as the car stopped, Hu Wei jumped out of the car.

He saw Li Ming and said with a smile: "Li Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time." I heard that you are in charge of work in Liaoyang. What's your situation there? ”

"What else, every day from morning to night, no matter what kind of work has to be arranged, it is better to do some specific work."

Hu Wei laughed when he heard it: "Haha...... This is indeed the case with the work of presiding over a place, and it is really better to do some specific work. It turns out that I had the same idea as you, but now I'm used to it. ”

Li Ming smiled bitterly and nodded: "During the period when I was presiding over the work in Liaoyang, I really understood the work of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, which is really not easy. I'd rather spend my days in the barracks training with my soldiers than stay in the office every day dealing with all that endless stuff. ”

"Let you go to the grassroots level to preside over the work. It's really hard for you, but you have to take this step. ”

Li Ming smiled when he heard this, Hu Wei has indeed changed a lot now, and he said with emotion: "Yes, if you don't go, you have to go." ”

After the two looked at each other, they laughed and walked into the Liaodong Management Committee together. When I walked into the large conference room, I found that the two of them were the only ones left.

Hurriedly hugged his fists at everyone and apologized.

Gao Jianguo smiled: "Okay, one of you is in Liaoyang." One is in Tieling, no one picks on you. Hurry up and sit down. ”

After the two sat down, Wang He spoke first: "We have just received a telegram from the garrison area of the Daling River, and a delegation composed of Ming officials has arrived on the eastern shore of the Daling River. It seems that the Ming Dynasty has reacted, I don't know what Chongzhen's intention is to send someone this time? ”

After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "What was the first thing they said when they saw the soldiers in the Daling River garrison area. I don't know if you can guess? ”

Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "They won't let our warriors kneel to greet the envoys of the Heavenly Empire, right?" ”

Wang He laughed and said, "We didn't let our warriors kneel to greet us, but the Celestial Empire's style was very good. They really came to Liaodong with Chongzhen's canonization edict, and there were more than 100 people, haha......"

Qiao Haipeng next to him scolded with a smile: "Da Ming is really upside down, he actually came with us." They knew they couldn't beat it. But he got an embassy and wanted to use canonization to establish a relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal state with us. In this way, I have all the face, I just want to find a step down. Now it's up to us to see if we give him face, if we humiliate them and drive them back, Daming and us will still remain at war. ”

Wu Yuandao, director of the clan affairs office: "Actually, it's nothing for us to accept the olive branch of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it just a name." Just give it to him, and now Da Ming just wants to save face. ”

His words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of another member of the Ethnic Affairs Committee: "Then what do you mean, we still have to pay tribute every year." The Ming Dynasty also takes itself too seriously, don't even think about it, it's not bad that our Far East didn't destroy the Ming Dynasty once, and they still want us to be their vassal states, I really don't know what to do. ”

"Hmph...... I am not accustomed to the form of tribute and vassalization of the Celestial Empire in the past dynasties, and it is nothing more than an attempt to promote national strength and exaggerate the peace, so that the Chinese monarch and even the native subjects under his rule can obtain a strong spiritual satisfaction and indulge in the position of the center of the world. Typical self-absorption, cover-up stupidity.

The most ridiculous thing is the Manchu slave chief Qianlong, the smell of his body has not faded, so he dares to speak out, saying that the Celestial Empire is rich and the four seas are really so-called as for the sunrise in the corner of the sea, and he is reckless! That is to say, the whole world at the corner of the sea and the sunrise must come to the court. What was the result, closed off the country, blind arrogance, and in the end, the whole country almost let these losers be defeated. Another committee member expressed his opinion, and he was also strongly opposed to maintaining such a relationship with Daming.

Liu Zhipeng, director of the Social Security Department of the company's general office, supported Wu Yuan with a clear banner. He said with a solemn face: "Da Ming and we are of the same species, after all, this era is the era of the supremacy of imperial power, and we must also consider contacting Da Ming." If we enter the Central Plains on a rampage, it will be difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty and the scholar class to have a sense of belonging to us. ”

As soon as Liu Zhipeng's words fell, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at him strangely, and even Wu Yuan was full of disdain.

Gao Jianguo coughed, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became cold.

"What kind of bullshit are those scholars and doctors in the late Ming Dynasty, how can they still have a trace of scholars, they are a group of national moths who are pulled together for their own interests. The scholar class, accustomed to singing and dancing, was lifeless in its sluggish life, and its pioneering spirit was gone, and it degenerated into a veritable rat in society.

In order to protect the interests of the Shidafu group, the Donglin Party members opposed taxation, and even when there was such a serious financial crisis in the late Ming Dynasty, they still turned a deaf ear. Chongzhen couldn't even send troops out of the silver, but the commercial tax still could not be collected normally, and they would rather watch the Ming Dynasty perish than lose their own interests.

This group of short-sighted scholars and doctors were still calculating their own little calculations when the empire was about to collapse. If you still want them to have a sense of belonging to us, then forget it, even if they kneel and beg me, Lao Tzu won't bird them.

The huge empire cannot be destroyed by a single Li Zicheng or a figure such as Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji. The total population of the alien races in the entire Outer Northeast is more than one million, and the Ming Dynasty has millions of people in the army alone, and the Ming Dynasty is still the world's first power at that time, with a vast territory, a large population, and developed science and technology, culture, and economy, even the European countries at that time together will be inferior.

The traditional intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty have been corroded by the life of drunken gold fans and devoured righteousness. In the end, it evolved into a group of national moths, gnawing at the foundations of the empire. Wu Sangui, the great traitor of the ages, according to me, he was really wronged, as if he didn't let the Manchus enter the customs, and the Tartars would not be able to enter the Central Plains. ”

Gao Jianguo's words made everyone laugh, and Li Ming also said with a smile: "There are many reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, but the greedy scholar group is definitely a major tumor of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the dead knot of the Ming Dynasty was a huge interest group in which the scholar class colluded with merchants and big landowners. By taking advantage of the state's preferential policies for the scholar group, they wanted to deprive the state of more financial resources and use the state's wealth to support private goods.

The morale of the late Ming Dynasty was, in short, the people's hearts not ancient. Anyway, history is written by literati, and all the characters that the scholar class does not like, they must use the pen in their hands to write and knock them down. When we enter the Ming Dynasty in the future, they are our biggest enemies.

Of course, in the more than 270 years of history of the Ming Dynasty, countless literati and doctors have emerged. There is Yu Qian who "wants to leave innocence in the world"; There are three Yang, Li Xian and so on; There is both civil and military, and Yang Ming Gong, who is the unity of knowledge and action; There are Zhang Juzheng, who is determined to innovate, high arch and so on; There is Yan Yingyuan, who "sent a message to passers-by to rest and cover their noses, 100,000 people are united in dying righteousness, and the living are not as fragrant as the dead". But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were too few such scholars. ”

After Gao Jianguo and Li Ming spoke one after another, the other committee members also expounded their views, and most of the committee members did not have any hope for Daming. Even if he was a member who supported the establishment of relations with the Ming Dynasty, the original intention was to paralyze the Ming Dynasty and prepare for the entry into the Central Plains in the future.

Wang He didn't speak, and only after everyone finished expressing their opinions did he smile and said: "At present, everyone's opinions are very clear, so I will tell you my opinion." (To be continued......) R1292
