After about a while, an old porter pushed open the door, the expression on his face could not be seen to show joy and anger, he glanced at the coachman who sent the name post, then nodded, and directly pushed the door open a larger gap, signaling the minister from the military department who was waiting behind the coachman to go in directly.

The so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, Ge Tianzhang has been in the military department for so many years, and he has really entered the cabinet of the Ming Empire as a cabinet minister for a few days, so this old servant in front of him can definitely be regarded as well-informed. But today, the old porter didn't even say a word of compliment, so he turned sideways and let the familiar Minister of War into the courtyard.

Bypassing the stone screen carved with a lotus pond, slowly stepping on the rather elaborate stone floor, until he reached the main hall, the minister of the military department found that the servants he passed by were all in a hurry, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet. He stopped, looked at the old butler who came out to greet him, and asked, "Where is Master Ge?" I have a great happy event, come to talk to Master Ge. ”

"Alas......" The old butler, who had always known the Minister of War, sighed, and then couldn't stop his sobbing: "Woo, my lord, you're late...... Just about half an hour ago, my lord he, my lord he...... Here it goes! Woo, woo. ”

"What? Master Ge he, he? "That minister is another henchman of Ge Tianzhang in addition to Cheng Zhixin in the Ministry of War. It's just that he is hardworking and willing to work on weekdays, and he is low-key, so his reputation is not obvious, but he was also picked up by Ge Tianzhang, and when he heard the news of Ge Tianzhang's death, he couldn't believe it for a while.

He got the news from the court meeting that His Majesty the Emperor had decided to continue to implement the strategy of first south and then north, and then after the end of the court meeting, he rushed to give good news to his mentor. As a result, who would have thought that he came in a hurry to report the good news but did not catch up with his mentor for the last time.

"Teacher! The emperor has made up his mind to adhere to the established national policy of first the south and then the north! Why don't you just hold on a little bit more? His Majesty...... He didn't mean to ruin your life's work, so why didn't you wait for me? He muttered these words, staggered, and sat down on the stone floor of the front hall, oblivious to the pain in his ass.

Outside the gate of this courtyard, under the frightened eyes of the guards and coachmen brought by the secretary of the military department, two servants from Ge's mansion climbed the ladder and hung white lanterns under the eaves outside the gate......

Ge Tianzhang, a man who appeared in the political arena of the Ming Empire at a young age in his thirties, influenced the strategic decisions of the Ming Empire for 50 years, and was still in charge of the most important military department in the court of the Ming Empire when he was over 80 years old, closed his eyes forever in the early winter of 1832.

He was world-famous for his life because of a book of "Playing the Book of Sailors of the South Seas", and he also spent his life's work to run the southeast peninsula of the Ming Empire. In the 50 years that he ruled the Ming Dynasty, he used troops on the Southeast Peninsula 77 times and defeated 51 times, but the Ming Empire did not lose an inch of land on the Southeast Peninsula, but had more......

Ge Tianzhang has proved one thing with his life, it is not that after deciding on the goal and putting in great efforts for it, it will definitely usher in success. He has met several heroes of Ceylon, the last of whom is the lone wolf of Ceylon, the current speaker of the Ceylon parliament, Miao Shengye - so it is destined that his strategy of sticking to the south in this life will not end well, and it is also destined that he will lack many deserved honors in this life.

But in the same way, because of his slack, the iron-smelting industry arose in the southeast, which became the core steel base of the Ming Empire, and built a large-scale industrial system in the jungle of Yunnan and Burma. It is precisely because the southeast region is firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty that India, which is only connected to the first line, still belongs to the Ming Dynasty in name, and the fleet of the Ming Empire is still cruising in the Indian Ocean.

But in the last year of his life, he met an emperor named Zhu Mu, who first fought a war in the north of the Ming Empire, and then set off a military revolution in the north of the Ming Empire. Immediately afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor expelled him from the court, and even his successor Cheng Zhixin was not spared and was kicked to the Qingshui Yamen.

And this helmsman, who once presided over the strategy of the world's largest empire, could only leave the scene in disgrace and watch as a bystander in an inconspicuous corner to see others shatter the strategic deployment he had built for more than 50 years. For a stubborn and persistent man like Ge Tianzhang, this is hardly any different from murdering his children.

He was able to hold on for a year before leaving, which was enough to persevere. In fact, many people have lost their souls from the moment they leave their positions, and they have ended their political careers, and they have also ended their lives. Ge Tianzhang is such a person, so in the past year, he has died more quickly than before.

This old man has given his life for the Ming Empire, at least a thousand times greater than many people. The second he closed his eyes and stopped breathing, he did more good than bad for the country, and it was already an achievement that he could be proud of.

In the back house, there was already a faint cry, and an irrepressible atmosphere of sadness spread in this courtyard. Soon, among the brocade guards who were in charge of the security here, three people turned on their horses at the same time and rushed out of the alley through the back door. They had to report this matter to their superiors, after all, the death of a former cabinet minister of the Ming Empire was not a trivial matter.

The minister of war, who had originally come to report the good news, was in tears, and reluctantly sat down on the chair with the support of the housekeeper of Gefu, and the man who also had the rank of general on his shoulder still cried like a child. He has learned too much from Ge Tianzhang and inherited too much, so he will naturally be sentimental and sad.

Even if it is a person who has committed a heinous crime, it is inevitable that a few people will cry when he dies, not to mention that Ge Tianzhang, as a minister of the empire, can't actually be evaluated and measured by good or bad?

No one would believe that this old man, who arranged a mediocre Wang Futong in northern Liaobei in order to realize the Ming Empire's strategy of first south and then north, would still be appeasing the old ministry and paving the way for the new army procurement of the Ming Empire a few days before he died.
