Qi Jiguang engaged in a big project all winter, "There is a great posture of turning the battlefield into a construction site and holding it for a long time, which really gave the Mongols a strong psychological hint, as if the Ming army had made up its mind and could not shrink out."

But the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches follow. Taking advantage of the Mongolian army's desire to obtain the grain and grass of the Ming grass, Qi Jiguang laid a simple but ingenious trap, and finally fought in Laziwan, through pre-setting an ambush and expelling the enemy for a long time, so that the enemy was exhausted and defeated without a fight. In the end, without firing a single shot or firing a single bullet, more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers were captured, as well as Noyandara's three younger brothers. Coupled with the more than 1,000 people killed during the pursuit, and the more than 2,000 killed and wounded in the fierce battle at night, the last strength of the Ordos Department almost collapsed.

Noyandala's father and daughter "witnessed the fierce battle between the two armies, the corpses were all over the field, and then they fled and chased after them." This kind of onlooker people's taste from fierce battle to rout can definitely make people completely collapse. If it weren't for the fact that the Ming army never relaxed its surveillance, Unachu would definitely not be able to help but set fire to the hill under his feet.

When the news of Baisan, Buyangu, and Bat being captured came back, Unachu's face turned pale and he was silent, and Noyandara sighed and said, "Daughter, do you see? Inspector Shen didn't lie about it, it was indeed not difficult for him to exterminate us. The previous argument between the father and daughter about Shen Mo taking the initiative to extend an olive branch ended with the daughter insisting that "the other party will use the gentle method because he can't win."

But the cruelty of reality has educated the proud princess, since the Ming army entered the set of operations, whether it is encounters, raids, siege battles, blocking battles, or defensive battles, "almost all ways to defeat the Mongolian army, cruelly completely stripping the self-confidence of the grassland people."

In fact, this is nothing, the grassland people have an open temperament, and they will not fall into hatred because they are defeated on the battlefield", but will be impressed by the strong who defeated them. But when Unachu thought of that gentle and harmless handsome face, he hated the roots of his teeth, because it made his toe arrogant even more, which was really ridiculous......,...

, this ding, the Han people "are simply too bad, deliberately humiliating me in this way" Zhong Jin clenched his pink fist tightly and "I can't wait to pinch the person surnamed Shen to death."

Seeing that her daughter was silent for a long time, Noyandara asked worriedly, "What do you want?" ”

"It's nothing," Zhong Jin shook his head, biting his lower lip and said, "I'm just thinking, since it can be solved by force", why bother with such a pretense? ”

"Daughter, Inspector Shen is not pretending." Noyandara sighed and said: "It's great compassion, God sent this person as the commander of the Ming Dynasty, which is the blessing of the Han people" It is also the luck of our people. ”

"Daddy is so frustrated...... Zhong Jin turned his head away and snorted, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

When the news of Jia Sheng reached Yulin Fort, Shen Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Wang Chonggu: "This year, you can live a stable life." "However, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and he has not yet let go of this breath" and was grabbed again.

This time, the trouble did not come from the northwest" but from the southeast. Su Song's governor Hai Rui, who had just been in office for less than three months, once again caused an uproar......

It is said that there are two top priorities of today's Ming Dynasty, the outside is to set the border and level the captivity, and the inside is sufficient for national use. In Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's view, in order to be sufficient for the state, it is necessary to implement a whip law to collect all the taxes that should be collected: and to implement a whip law, "the premise is to re-measure the land to determine the amount of tax to be paid by each household."

However, since Zhengde, the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty has been serious, and a large number of fields have been concentrated in the names of the nobles of the clan and the gentry and landlords. If the imperial court wants to implement the Qingzhang mu, isn't it as if they were killed? Naturally, they will resist desperately, so they tried it in several places, but they were all struggling and gave up halfway, and even the officials in charge lost their officials."

At the cabinet meeting, Zhang Juzheng proposed to first conquer the two stubborn fortresses of Quzhuo and Songjiang, so as to open up the situation, "and got Gao Gong's approval." Then on the issue of candidates, Gao Gong consulted Shen Mo, and Shen Mo recommended Lin Run to Shandong as the governor, as for Governor Su Song, under Shen Mo's hint, Gao Gong gave Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng, who was idle at home.

As soon as the appointment came out, countless people cast envious glances at Hai Rui.

Why envy him? Because the full name of this official position is, the right of the Imperial Palace, the Prime Minister's Grain Reserve, the Admiral Military Affairs, and the Governor Su Song. This position is too dazzling, known as the world's first Fu Ming Dynasty official positions that are not changed for a governor, and there are naturally countless "what literary selections, military selections, salt transportation, and tax envoys...... There are all kinds of things, five huā and eight gates, but compared to this Su Song governor, it is simply the difference between Haoyue and fireflies.

A brief analysis of this official position. The full name of the first "Governor Su Song and other places" is, and the governor Su Song and other ten prefectures and one prefecture were called eleven prefectures at that time, including, Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Taiping, Anqing, Chizhou, Guangde, Ningguo, and Huizhou. In short, in addition to the seven prefectures under the jurisdiction of the governor of Fengyang, Nanzhili is the richest and most prosperous place in the whole country, not only the grain and rice warehouse of the Ming Dynasty, but also the main source of wealth for the imperial court, accounting for seventy percent of all taxes.

In addition, there is also the so-called "general management of grain reserves" and "supervising military affairs", which is to ensure that the above-mentioned areas, as well as Fujian, Guangdong, and southwest China, provide a steady supply of materials to Beijing. Grain, cloth, silk, ironware, and other materials from the south were transported through the Yangtze River "through the canal, to Beijing, and to the northern border, which can be said to be the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty." "The prime minister's basic duty is to ensure the material supply of this lifeline.

Finally, in front of the above-mentioned position, "there is also one, the identity of the right of the Imperial Palace." This is the title that all feudal officials have to hang up, "With this title, all officials in the jurisdiction can be supervised." Although this, the imperial history of the capital, itself is only the fourth grade, but because of the prime minister's grain reserves, the commander's military affairs and the governor, this is equivalent to the position of the second grade.

With a humble background, and getting such a prominent official position, "Hai Rui is also very excited", and he can feel how high the expectations of the court and the cabinet are for himself. So he secretly made an oath that he would do his best to serve the court "to complete his mission and not to return to the trust of the elders."

So he received the letter of appointment, packed up his things, and went south to take up his post "non-stop".

There is an idiom in the state, which is called, "the first voice to seize people" is also called "the first voice to seize people's spirit...... This word is used to describe Hai Rui's appointment this time, which is simply apt...... The others were still halfway there, and the news of his appointment had reached Su Song, and the heaven on earth where singing and dancing had been leveled exploded.

The shadow of the famous tree, the fierce reputation of the king of the sea is too strong, because of the fear of him from the heart, those officials who are corrupt and pervert the law on weekdays and do not do good things, it is estimated that they will fall into his hands, "If you don't die, you have to peel off the skin, I really can't afford to provoke it, so I can only hide." So he didn't have time to write a resignation report to the imperial court, so he rolled up his bedding and ran away with the looted property, lest he take a step slow and be blocked in the yamen by Hai Rui.

These foreign officials can roll up and leave, but those squires who are usually powerful and wealthy can't go, so they can only quickly rein in their tracks, and no longer dare to go to those high-end ** "Don't dare to bring slaves and maids" to swagger through the market, all day long, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, more beautiful than their daughters, they always like to paint their doors in vermilion, which is not only festive, but also means developed. Now he is busy and hurriedly paints the vermilion gate black, striving to be low-key and low-key, and must not let the King of Haiyan target him.

I really can't go out, and I don't dare to wear those expensive clothes, so I change them to cloth and linen shirts, and I can't wait to put on some patches and pretend to be the elders of the beggar gang. Meeting people" originally started to compare with others within three sentences, but now I hear others say that my family is rich" is more uncomfortable than scolding his eight generations of ancestors.

Even the city of Nanjing, which was not under his jurisdiction, was shaken, and Ma Quan, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing, should sit in a four-carrying official sedan chair according to the system. But he relied on the fact that he was the head of the two dynasties, and he was majestic on weekdays, "in and out of the sedan chair is eight lifts, I heard that Hai Rui is coming" not only lowered the specifications of the sedan chair, but also reduced most of the servants who followed him, lest he not pay attention when he left Nanjing" was done by Hai Rui.

The country's famous glitz and extravagance "actually changed the aesthetic fashion because of his arrival alone" I have to say that Haida people have reached the realm of unprecedented people.

So when Lord Hai came to Suzhou, he was surprised to find that this city, which is famous as the richest city in the country, did not have a single person wearing silk clothes on the streets, which seemed to be hundreds of years backwards from when he left.

What the hell is going on? Hai Rui held back his doubts, and finally after entering the yamen, he specially stayed and waited for his former governor to return to the light to relieve his doubts.

looked at him with suspicion on his face, "Gui Youguang secretly smiled bitterly: , Come on, this one thought I had cured Suzhou beyond recognition." , then sighed and said: "The three-year-old child has no mother, it's a long story...... Let's talk while eating. Before Hai Rui opened his mouth to refuse, he explained: "Don't worry" I know that you don't like to socialize, it's just the two of us, and I can pay for the banquet myself, without government expenses. ”

Hearing him say this, Hai Rui was a little embarrassed, and squeezed out a smile and said, "I'll just eat." ”

"That's how it should be." Seeing Hai Rui's face, Gui Youguang was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled him in, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

Entering the main hall and seeing the generous furnishings inside, Hai Rui frowned and did not speak, and then looked at the banquet, it was also extremely extravagant, and many dishes were not even famous for him, who had been an official in Suzhou for many years. Hai Rui moved his lips and said, "I put up with it again."

Sitting with Gui Youguang and Zhaomu, he sighed and said, "Brother Zhenchuan, you shouldn't be so expensive. ”

Gui Youguang has been watching his reaction with interest, and said approvingly while pouring wine: "It seems that I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Gangfeng has indeed changed." Saying that, he smiled and squinted his eyes: "I thought that when you saw this banquet, you would turn around and leave." ”

"Hehe" Hai Rui touched his beard, which already had silver threads, and said, "After so many things, if I can't accommodate things, it's called strange." ”

"I thought it would", Gui Youguang said with a smile: "You won't change for the rest of your life." ”

"When it is tolerant, it is tolerant." Hai Rui said with a straight face: "Since you have made it clear that you are inviting me to dinner with your own money, I shouldn't just care about my own feelings like before." ”

"Okay, listen to you." Gui Youguang was very relieved when he heard this, picked up the wine cup and said, "Come, cheers for our reunion." ”

Hai Rui picked up the wine cup and drank it all, "Gui Youguang wanted to refill the wine for him, but he stretched out his hand to block it and said, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Gui Youguang thought about it for a while, and then realized what the problem was, so he put down the wine jug and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Gangfeng, Su Song's wealth has reached an unprecedented level, like today's banquet, it is just the standard for ordinary people to feast guests."

"Then why do I see all the things I see," Hai Jui asked in a deep voice, "is it so shabby and depressed?" ”

"It's not because of you." Gui Youguang said with a wry smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Hai Rui's face is not very good-looking.

"Some time ago, when the officials here heard that you were coming, they were really terrified. To put it mildly, the news of your appointment is like a reminder. Many officials who feel that they are not so clean have not had time to ask for transfer, so they abandon their officials and do not meet with you. The vermilion-lacquered gates of the city's wealthy families were all painted black overnight. What is even more enjoyable is that "they no longer dare to ride horses and sit in sedan chairs when they go out into the streets, but walk honestly, and put on the clothes of inferior slaves." Gui Youguang was amazed: "What's even more enjoyable is that all the high-end green buildings in Suzhou City were closed overnight, and those famous prostitutes all went to Zhejiang to beg for a living... So you don't feel bad at all" Suzhou City did return to the Hongwu period overnight. ”

"Hahaha......" Hai Rui laughed when he heard this, "Do you think you can escape from my palm like this?" Saying that, he sneered and said: "Tomorrow, I will make a list and encourage the people of Su Song to come to avenge their grievances, and I will seek justice from the local tyrants and inferior gentry for free!" ”

"Isn't that too radical?" Gui Youguang's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Su Song's generation is no better than other places, this is the country's tax-paying place, and a large number of officials live here, and most of them are powerful families." ”

"There's no time." Hai Rui trusted Gui Youguang very much, so he did not shy away from saying: "I just poke this hornet's nest, if I don't beat down the arrogance of these inferior gentry dogs, how can I fulfill the trust of the imperial court?" ”！ ~！
