It's late again, can Rollo ask for a few monthly passes? The monthly pass is so little

In the spring of the fifth year of recovery, the Daming Dynasty, which had just stabilized, suddenly became stormy again. It's not because of Yi Su and Yi Xin, the living treasure brothers who don't die with thieves. This era is not yet the Republic of China in later generations, and when there is a rebellion and rebellion, a telegram must be sent to make everyone in the world know, and sometimes there will be a "telegram war" and scold the street with electricity. At present, there are such good communication conditions, telegrams and so on, and the people of Kulun and Xining have not even seen each other. Therefore, they rebelled, Ying Tian didn't know about the rebellion for several months, and it wasn't until the summer of that year that he knew that Yixin had rebelled, and it wasn't until the autumn that he knew that the Qing Dynasty was back!

And in the spring, it's the newspapers that really stir people's hearts. The newspaper should be regarded as Zhu Jishi's own bringing to China. The Ta Kung Pao he ran in Hong Kong was a revolutionary journal that strongly agitated against the Qing Dynasty. Despite the strong propaganda of the newspapers, Emperor Zhu did not impose strict press controls after the occupation of Guangdong, but allowed a certain degree of freedom of the press. After moving the capital to Yingtian, the promulgation of the "King James Constitution" clearly stipulates the standard of press freedom - no opposition to the emperor, no endangerment of the national security of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor has the right to issue an edict to implement press control. Later, Zhu Jishi set up a news department under the Hongru Academy, which was responsible for news censorship. What he did was not to emulate the freedom of the press in the West, but to obtain a channel to understand the situation in various places that was not completely controlled by the bureaucracy, and the current Ming Dynasty was full of feudal bureaucrats, and if strict press control was implemented, the emperor would sooner or later be blinded and deaf.

But in the next two years. The Ming press has not made any trouble for Emperor Zhu and the government. Even the content of singing praises of virtue occupies the main space of the newspaper - those Confucian scholars trained by the Qing Dynasty even became newspaper editors. Still very careful. It was not until the appearance of the "Qingliu Daily" that dared to speak up that the Ming newspaper began to constantly test the bottom line of the imperial court's public opinion control, and tried to criticize some policies and regulations of the imperial court. Of course, the main target of a group of "critical" newspapers represented by "Qingliu Bao" is still the corrupt and dark officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the story of a good emperor being deceived by corrupt officials has long been in the hearts of the people.

In the spring of the 5th year of Guangfu, as a group of Shanxi celebrities who went to Beijing to petition arrived in Yingtian, they handed Zhu Jishi "Please transfer the Miao Party to leave the Jin Xing Jin and the Jin people to govern the Jin". Shanxi Governor and Admiral Fengtai County Gong Miao Peilin, a corrupt official and warlord, became a figure on the cusp of public opinion overnight.

A large number of self-proclaimed and influential newspapers, including "Qingliu Bao", "Shizi Daily", "Zhengqi Bao", and "Shilin Newsletter", all began to talk about the disaster of the Tang Ji Domain, either metaphorically or alludingly, referring to Miao Peilin, who supported the army and divided one side with self-respect, as the first feudal town of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Bai Yu, a commentator of "Qingliu Daily", strongly appealed to Miao Peilin to learn from Yixin and invite himself to join the court.

"Your Majesty, the minister won't help Miao Yusan speak this time, he has done something too much. not only held on to the Miao army, but also let all 70,000 or 80,000 Huai officers and soldiers naturalize in Shanxi. It is clear that it is necessary to continue to control the local ...... in Shanxi"

At Fort Maria, Luo Zenan, the military advisor who recommended Miao Peilin to Zhu Jishi, buried his body in the leather sofa in the living room. He said with a frown. Everyone in the court knew that he had a good relationship with Miao Peilin, and if it was a "trivial matter" such as corruption, he would definitely help Miao Peilin speak. But the feudal town or something, but the emperors of all dynasties Lao Tzu were the most jealous. This Miao Peilin is indeed a little confused.

And Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong, the two prime ministers, also kept nodding, as if they were echoing Luo Zenan. Not to mention what Zuo Zongtang thinks of the feudal town, then Zheng Hong is the first hero of the Ming Dynasty to restore the country, he has been released several times to take charge of the army, and every time he finishes something, he honestly returns the military power, and then enters the court as an official. An old man knows this truth, but Miao Peilin doesn't know it. Moreover, the seven provinces of Sichuan, Henan, Shandong, Beizhi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, which have also exercised military management, have already achieved the separation of military administration from the military. The power to appoint magistrates had been returned to the imperial court, and officers were no longer concurrently serving as local governors, and local governors were likewise not in charge of the army. Only Miao Peilin is still grasping the military and government, and he has no intention of letting go.

Where did Emperor Zhu know that Miao Peilin in history was actually such a person, not only loved power like life, but also had a capricious problem, vacillating between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty, and finally became ruined. However, in this time and space, Miao Peilin has always been a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, although he likes to seize power, he has definitely not had any bad intentions.

At the same time that the Shanxi gentry petitioned against Miao, Miao Peilin's excerpt was also handed over, the content was not to invite himself into the court or to ask for the removal of military power, but to expose the Shanxi gentry for plotting against Miao, colluding with the Bohai State, and attempting to rebel. He also took out the conclusive evidence that the Jin merchants smuggled AN oil explosives, military gunpowder, stainless steel and other controlled items and sold them to the King of Gongshun of the Bohai Kingdom and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom -- it is said that Mao Honghui, who had a Weizi ticket number in Shanxi, was the first to expose the crime. It is not a hypocrisy.

Zhu Jishi pinched Miao Peilin's fold, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it on the coffee table: "Miao Peilin's illegal Jin businessmen's various crimes, what do you think?" ”

When he asked, Zuo Zongtang, Zheng Hong, and Luo Zenan nodded at the same time, and they all thought that there were a lot of scum among the Jin merchants. After all, the lessons of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants are there, and the leaders of the Shanxi gentry, Qi Liaozao and Xu Jishe, are still working for Yixi. The Jin merchants also benefited greatly from the Mongol trade routes. It's not surprising that they have some dealings with Yi Xin and Yi Su.

Zheng Hong snorted and smiled: "Your Majesty, I don't think they are good people on either side, profiteers and traitors are eating dogs." ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded and said: "This matter is not complicated at all, it is difficult for one mountain to accommodate two tigers, and these two tigers are not what the imperial court wants." ”

"Miao Peilin is different from those profiteers." Zhu Jishi suddenly interrupted, "I still trust him, and the Jin Shang smuggling case can be handed over to him for investigation and punishment." ”

This sentence made Zuo Zongtang and the other three stunned, and asked Miao Peilin to rectify the business? Isn't this a rat to take care of the rice bowl? The family background of these old pits in Shanxi is not allowed to be hollowed out by the surname Miao!

Zhu Jishi continued: "The Duke of Fengtai County is 54 years old, and he is still working for the country, which is really commendable, how can I treat the heroes badly? Those Shanxi gentry actually wanted to separate me from Miao Qing's monarchs, which is really hateful. Moreover, our Ming constitution clearly stipulates that subjects have freedom of movement, and it is completely legal for Huai people to naturalize in Shanxi. I want to dismiss their petition. ”

"But what Miao Peilin is doing now is indeed not the way to preserve, if it is replaced by another suspicious king, why not take the opportunity to rectify him? At the worst, the official title will be reduced, and the leader will not be protected...... I don't want the heroes to be framed by Xiaoxiao, but Miao Peilin should also know the truth of the three of them becoming tigers. ”

The three important ministers of the Ming Dynasty have already understood that Emperor Lao Tzu wants Miao Peilin to take advantage of the gentry and profiteers in Shanxi, and then retreat bravely. Although this hand is not above board, it is worthy of the heroes, and as for those illegal merchants, it is completely self-inflicted.

"Strategist, you go to Shanxi, explain my meaning to Miao Peilin clearly, and ask him whether he wants to be the governor of Shanxi or continue to supervise the army after rectifying the gentry and wealthy merchants in Shanxi. If you still want to fight for a prince on the battlefield, then you should prepare to march into Ganshan. ”

Before Zhu Jishi's words were finished, Zuo Zongtang suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the Miao soldiers are no longer very useful, if you want to enter the northwest, it is still appropriate to use the elite of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Miao Bing is unusable?" Zhu Jishi was a little puzzled, although Miao Peilin's army was not Zhu Ming's lineage, it was quite strong in the local army, and it had defeated the elite of the Taiping army.

Zheng Hong took over the topic and said: "Miao soldiers are not a new army after all, the officers are all Huaibei heroes, the army has been prosperous for several years, their pockets are full of silver, it is time to enjoy the blessings, who is willing to fight, now it is best to dismiss the Miao army and let Miao Yusan be the governor of Shanxi." ”

"I see, military advisor, then persuade Miao Peilin." Zhu Jishi nodded, and said in his heart, "I'm afraid that Miao Peilin is unwilling to give up his military power, this old man has always thought that he uses soldiers like a god." (To be continued......)
