Chongzhen looked at the three first-rank courtiers kneeling on the ground and felt that it was almost over, so he said: "Qing and the other three are exempt, stand up!" ”

Then he picked up a copy of the recital and said: "This recital in my hand was played by the governor of Pingdu Prefecture under the rule of Governor Denglai, and this recital was specially presented by the cabinet to the imperial review, which shows that Zhou Qing is loyal and commendable!" Saying that, he waved his hand to signal that Zhou Yanru didn't need to thank him.

"The little Zhizhou book can actually be used by me to comment at the court meeting, I believe that the ministers are very curious. Since the rebellion of the displaced people in Shaanxi, although the imperial court has spent a huge amount of money on military salaries, and nearly 100,000 troops have been exterminated day and night, the thieves have been suppressed more and more. Now a large number of homeless people and thieves have spread to Shanxi, why? I thought it was a problem with the imperial court's strategy for dealing with thieves. ”

Chongzhen stopped talking, handed the recital in his hand to Wang Chengen on the side, and said, "Read this recital in public and listen!" ”

Wang Chengen bowed down and took the book and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

A slightly sharp voice sounded in the main hall: "On the twenty-fifth day of the third lunar month, under the rule of the governor of Denglai, Chen Suowen, the minister of Pingdu Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture: ...... There are more than 20,000 bandits, and their leader Feng, whose name is checked, deeply feels that the emperor rules the world, and the four seas are close to it, and his little bandit is ...... This time the thieves surrendered, and the rest of the thieves followed suit, and the chaos was eliminated from then on...... The subordinates and others will pursue and suppress it together, and they will not let it go unpunished...... This all depends on the blessing of the emperor......

After Wang Chengen finished reading it, he bowed down and returned the chapter to the imperial case, Chongzhen looked at nearly a hundred pairs of eyes under the platform, and said slowly: "The thieves in the world can return to the imperial court like Pingdu Prefecture and be obedient to the people; The parents and officials of the county government in the world can be as good at sharing the worries of the court as Pingdu Zhizhou, so why worry about the homeless people and thieves not getting rid of the world! Should the ministers think about it? ”

After the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, retired. After thinking about it, his heart was already bright at this time, and Chongzhen was taking advantage of this court meeting to warn his behavior. It seems that the emperor has heard of his behavior of forming a party for personal gain, buying and selling officials.

But he still has enough trust in himself, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, is his own party. has a close relationship with himself, and under his rule, Pingdu Zhizhou even allowed Pingdu to be his parent official through himself.

It can be said that these two people belong to their own family, and reading the Pingdu Zhizhou Concert in front of many courtiers is a kind of trust and praise for themselves.

Slap and give a sweet date to eat, Chongzhen's hand is perfect! Zhou Yanru thought secretly.

He went out again and said: "The emperor Shengming, Pingdu is a small country with such righteous people, and most of this matter is attributed to the local parents and officials in Pingdu, who thought that they should be rewarded for the people involved, and publicized this matter loudly, so that the lost people and thieves repented. Return to the rule of my holy son of heaven. ”

Wen Tiren, who had not been mixed up, came out and knelt down: "Your Majesty, why are the thieves and homeless people in the world making trouble, the minister thinks that the root of it is that life is forced to have nothing to eat and drink, if you can make the homeless people repent by preaching, then why do you need the court to mobilize the people to spend money to exterminate them." The minister thought that it was a matter of course for the righteous people of Pingdu Prefecture to submit to the imperial court, and the imperial court should publicize this righteous act to the outside world, but how to reward it or behave well according to the rules. ”

Zhou Yanru smiled on his face, as if he didn't care about Wen Tiren's obstruction, and Wen Tiren smiled apologetically to Zhou Yanru after the performance. It seems to say that I'm not targeting you.

The main and auxiliary assistants of the cabinet are harmonious on the surface, but in their hearts, they can't immediately hit each other and step on a few feet.

Chongzhen did not express his opinion on the opinions of the two ministers, he picked up another recital and said: "This recital is still played by the Pingdu Zhizhou, please allow the Pingdu righteous Feng Jian to personally take out the silver taels for the imperial court to dredge and govern the Nanjiaolai River." It will connect it to the mouth of Jiaozhou Bay and restore the status of the maritime transportation channel of the South Jiaolai River. ”

He turned his gaze to Zhou Yanru and said, "This righteous Feng Jian must be the Feng Jian who led the people to submit to the imperial court!" Zhou Yanru nodded hurriedly.

In an agrarian society like China, water conservancy is crucial to the development of agriculture. There are many people of insight among the courtiers of the Wenhua Palace.

During the incident, Huang Chengwu heard the emperor mention the construction of water conservancy. Directly out of class and knelt down, interrupting Chongzhen and said: "Holy grace." Nowadays, the southeast suffers from floods, all because the water conservancy is not repaired. ”

Chongzhen was not annoyed by being interrupted. Instead, he knowingly asked, "Then why don't you repair the water conservancy?" ”

The first assistant Zhou Yanru and the second assistant Wen Tiren played at the same time: "Water conservancy is the first major thing in the southeast, but the construction of water conservancy requires a lot of money and grain, but now there are many places where money is used in the imperial court, and there are too many places where water conservancy needs to be built everywhere, so it has to be postponed." ”

Chongzhen pondered for a while and said: "Now that there is no peace on all sides, and there are thieves and robbers making trouble, my people are really very miserable!" I know very well that the construction of water conservancy can enrich the people and strengthen the country, but at this time, the national strength is not enough. ”

sighed with a sigh of relief: "It is rare to have such righteous people under my rule, who not only belong to the imperial court but also have righteous deeds to fund the construction of water conservancy, and think about my country wholeheartedly!" I only hope that there will be a few more righteous people like Feng Jian in my Ming court, then the world will not be quiet, and the four sides will not be worried! ”

The Wenhua Hall is full of important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how can they not hear the helplessness and expectation in Chongzhen's words, the "Hulala" courtiers knelt down one after another, asking Chongzhen to take care of the gods and not to worry too much.

Chongzhen looked at the ministers who were kneeling intensively under the platform, sighed and said, "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

Turning his head to Zhou Yanru and said: "It is completely necessary for our central court to reward a righteous person like Feng Jian with an exceptional reward, and the cabinet intends to promote and reward people like Feng Jian who are good at sharing worries for the court, and add a special reward on top of the promotion according to the regulations!" He should be rewarded for his righteous act of funding for the construction of water conservancy, and his demands should be met as much as possible. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Of course, Pingdu Zhizhou should also be rewarded, and the imperial court can't chill the hearts of scholars." ”

"Your Ministers obey!" Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and other important cabinet ministers knelt on the ground again to receive the order. Wen Tiren then stood up and returned to the train.

And Zhou Yanru kowtowed again: "According to the Pingdu Zhizhou Songzhang, the state flood camp in Pingdu City was originally set up for the Jiaolai River to and from the shipping and guarding the safety of ships. Later, due to the abandonment of the Jiaolai River water transportation, the state flood camp was in name only. According to the calculation of accepting the merit of the imperial court's recruitment, this righteous man Feng Jian can be awarded the six-rank military attaché, plus the special reward of the saint to be promoted to the first level. The imperial court should reward the five-rank military attache and give the five-rank military attache uniform. Seal the letter ribbon and order him to come to the staff department of the Beijing Division and Military Department to handle the collection of the farewell. ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "These superficial rituals can be dispensed with. Let him stay in the local area to concentrate on dredging and governing the Jiaolai River for the imperial court, and the imperial court directly sent personnel to announce the decree and reward, and did not have to enter Beijing. ”

Zhou Yanru breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It just so happens that Feng Jianyi funded the dredging of the Nanjiaolai River, and the minister thought that Feng Jianping could be awarded the five-grade garrison of the state flood camp in Zhouzhou, may I ask the holy will?!" ”

There are thousands of such small sesame officials in the court, and they can't attract Chongzhen's attention at all, so he thought about it slightly and nodded: "Accurate!" In addition, I would like to say that the court will never treat people who have a heart for the court. ”

Feng Jian, who was thousands of miles away in Huluyan, Daze Mountain, never thought that he had been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court overnight. Suddenly promoted to the Pingdu Prefecture Flood Camp is a solid five-grade garrison military attaché.

……

In the four years of Chongzhen, a new page in history is about to be opened, and the Ming Dynasty, the edifice that is about to collapse, has taken another step towards collapse!

In this year, Qiu Hejia patrolled the town of Liaodong, did not listen to Sun Chengzong's order, and in July of this year, he started to build Dalinghe City, and sent Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi brothers to lead 4,000 elite soldiers and more than 10,000 soldiers to guard the city.

In the first month of this year, Huang Taiji, the lord of Houjin, inspected Shenyang and ordered Ding Qiming, Zhu Shiyin, Wang Tianxiang and others who surrendered to Houjin to cast Hongyi cannons. Huang Taiji personally named: "God bless the general" cannon.

In July of this year, Huang Taiji ordered the newly subjugated Mongolian Belle leaders to lead their own troops to gather in Baiyun Mountain, thirty miles north of Dalinghe City, to swear an army and attack Dalinghe City.

In October of this year, the Emperor Taiji will meet in Eastern Mongolia on the Narit River. It also joined forces with the Mongolian Association and Qingcheng in the north, and the coalition army was divided into four routes from Xifengkou, Longjingguan, Daankou, and Hongshankou respectively. After passing through Zunhua City, he began the first roundabout attack on the heart of the Ming Dynasty - the capital. Tens of thousands of Manchurian and Mongolian troops. He stayed in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and plundered for seven months......

October of this year. Dengzhou generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others launched the Wuqiao Mutiny, causing the land of Shandong to be devastated by the rebels. The people have no means of making a living!

The fourth year of Chongzhen is an eventful year, and this year is also destined to be a year in which Feng Jian of Dazeshan seized the opportunity to quickly pout!

This year, the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association will harvest the first batch of grain, and this year, the Zhenshan Camp will exterminate all the bandits in Daze Mountain......

On the sixth day of the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, at this time, Feng Jian was accompanied by Xu Yannian, the commander of the Zhenshan Battalion, Zhao Shougang, Huang Fuchun, and Zhengqing, the superintendent of the Zhenshan Battalion, to inspect the newly built barracks of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion.

The new station of the entire Zhenshan Camp covers an area of more than 300 acres, which was originally completely covered by a large area of pine forest, and after more than a month of rushing to build by thousands of villagers in Huluyan, what is presented in front of it is already a large-scale barracks.

As soon as you enter the camp gate, what catches your eye is a huge archway to set up, in the middle of the writing "honor door" three words, on both sides of the archway respectively write "want to be the soldier of the earthquake mountain camp, first do the things of the earthquake mountain camp". The huge torii and the words written on it are immediately inspiring.

Walking into the soldiers' barracks, I saw that a barracks can accommodate twelve soldiers, just a squad, a total of six wooden beds with two floors up and down in the barracks, neatly arranged on both sides of the barracks, in the middle is a big eight-immortal table, with some pen and ink on it, the barracks is a weapon rack by the door, with soldiers' weapons, etc., everything in the barracks looks in order.

Xu Yannian introduced in a low voice, "There are a total of 130 rows of barracks like this, and a public thatched house is built between every two rows of barracks, and the location of the barracks is close to the training ground, so that soldiers can quickly assemble at any time in case of emergencies." ”

There was a soldier's canteen in the east and west directions of the soldiers' barracks, and at the north end of the barracks was a training ground that could accommodate several thousand people.

Feng Jian was very satisfied with the rapid and high-quality construction and use of the Zhenshan Camp along the way, and listened to Xu Yannian's suggestions on the construction and improvement of the Zhenshan Camp in all aspects, and asked a few words from time to time.

"Commander, please move!" The group walked to a large wooden house, and Xu Yannian took the first step to invite Feng Jian to enter. (To be continued......)
