294. Situation

"My lord, the territory of this domain is growing, but there is a shortage of available officials, so please immediately start recruiting talents. (Like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)"

Looking at Chen Kejun, who was concurrently serving as the chief official of the Dadu Governor's Mansion School with the Ministry of Rites, and Deng Lincai, who was also the chief official of the Dadu Governor's Mansion with the experience of being the judge of the Dadu Governor's Mansion with the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, Zheng Kezhang was thoughtful, of course he knew that Ming Zheng's territory was too small, and although it took nearly 20 years to cultivate talents, it was a little stretched to use it in the new ruling area that had skyrocketed dozens of times, and it was no wonder that the two people in front of him were anxious to find themselves to solve it.

"What the two Qing families said is necessary, and they can't rely on the demotion to support the place," Since there is such an understanding, Zheng Kezhang naturally nodded and agreed very happily. "Then according to the charter of the two divisions, at the end of October, in Zhili and Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Kaienke, it just calmed the hearts of the local people. However, "Zheng Kezhang dragged out his voice. "This is an expedient measure, and in the future, we must improve the cascade education system of the feudal country's sub-supervisor, government school, county school, and Mongolian school, and this time Enke should also be practice-oriented, and the township will be directly distributed after the trial, and the main list will be from the eighth grade, and the sub-list will be from the ninth grade, and you can't use people."

The two of them retreated, but they retreated, and Lin Heng, the left attendant of the military department and the director of the military affairs department of the metropolitan governor's mansion, and Cai Qian, the right attendant of the military department and the commander of the military weapons department of the metropolitan governor's mansion, followed the guards and walked in: "The ministers see the lord." ”

"Lin Qing," Zheng Kezhang waved his hand to make them stand up, and then asked bluntly. "How's the soldier going?"

"Back to the Lord, the current Military Affairs Department has set up five large battalions along the river: Zhenjiang, Taiping, Chizhou, Jiujiang, and Ezhou, each battalion has 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses," asked the soldiers, and Lin Heng naturally replied. "However, these five battalions all have only one or two divisions, their combat strength is extremely suspicious, and there are also a lot of insufficient military resources such as firearms and war horses, so it is okay to hold on, but I am afraid that it is impossible to attack."

"If the combat strength is insufficient, it depends on the strength of the General Staff Office's training." Because the Zheng Army's naval division cut off the Yangtze River, Zheng Kezhang still maintained a certain degree of optimism about the suspicious combat strength of the new recruits and the new annexed army. "As for the shortage of firearms, it's a problem, Cai Qing, can the Ordnance Department come up with an exact timetable?"

"Returning to the Lord, the minister has ordered the iron-smelting yards and cannon workshops in Dongning to be moved to Fujian and Guangdong, and has also sent people to set up factories in Zhejiang and Zhili, and as long as these factories resume production, the minister will definitely make up for one-third of the shortage of firearms." Because the manufacture of Zheng Jun's guns involved a secret process, Cai Qian did not dare to boast too much. "In addition, according to the Lord's will, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have also begun to re-produce various types of inland river vessels." Because the notification ship and the patrol ship all use keel technology with a deep draft, it is somewhat inconvenient to use it on the Yangtze River, so Zheng Kezhang asked the Ordnance Department to produce inland river gunboats with a shallow draft. "It is estimated that it can produce five to six oars and gunboats with more than 1,500 materials and less than 3,000 materials and 25 transport ships with about 1,000 materials per month."

"The production of three-deck gunboats at the Ezo and Seogwipo docks cannot be stopped, and the iron ore mining in Seoklok must not be stopped." Zheng Kezhang nodded a few words, and then his gaze returned to Lin Heng's body. "The problem of military horses does exist, so the orphan society will arrange for Honglu Temple to negotiate with the North Korean side to lease the entire Jeju." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang paused. "The Yangtze River defense is like this, but Yueqing Bo (Hong Gongzhu), Changhua Bo (Mao Hongyan), and Xin Changbo (He Qian) are fighting in Jinghu and Guixi urgently, and the two divisions of military affairs and ordnance must give priority to replenishing the shortage."

Sent away Lin Heng and the two, Zheng Kezhang walked out of the house, slowly stretched his body in the courtyard, the fatigue of sitting for a long time made him a little sore back, speaking of which he actually didn't have to work so hard, but because the Qing army was in Jiangbei, the timid Emperor Wuding did not dare to move back to Nanjing, so the center of the Ming court of Zheng Ji was forced to stay in Fuzhou, and most of the members of the Zheng Fan Political Affairs Hall who served as scholars, scholars of various ministries, and imperial history of the left capital stayed in Fuzhou, so Zheng Kezhang had to do it himself.

Zheng Kezhang was shaking his head and feet and moving his body, a guard with a happy face hurriedly walked in, whispered to the deputy chief of the guard standing aside, and after listening to the guard's report, Ma Yankai, who had just been transferred from the military post of the director of the Zuohu Division, immediately stepped forward and reported to Zheng Kezang: "Lord, the canonization envoy from Fuzhou has just entered Chaoyangmen. ”

"Are you coming?" Zheng Kezhang nodded, it has been ten months since Zheng Jun recovered Nanjing, and in these ten months, Zheng Jun has taken southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, southern Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, western Hubei, northern Hunan, and northwest Hunan, and advanced the front to Lianghu and western Guangxi. "This is the third wave, right?" Ma Yankai replied, and Zheng Kezhang laughed. "The number of etiquette is enough, and if you push it back, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts." Ma Yankai smiled inexplicably, looking at his appearance, Zheng Kezhang suddenly remembered something, so he asked. "Has King Ning arrived in Fujing?"

The King of Ning in Zheng Kezang's mouth is naturally Zhu Qi, to say that an old man with a sixtieth birthday should not actually become the object of Zheng Kezang's attention, but who made the Zhu Qi brothers the only powerful faction in the Ming clan, and one of the Ming troops who are fighting in Jinghu has a broken relationship and has a certain influence in Jiangxi Province.

"Minister, minister doesn't know." Ma Yankai replied embarrassedly that he was just a guard, so naturally he couldn't act beyond his authority.

"Lonely but forgot." Zheng Kezhang laughed, and then recruited the real person in charge, and when he heard the news that the other party reported that Zhu Qi had arrived in Fuzhou, Zheng Kezang's eyes flashed. "It's good to come, since you've fallen into the net, don't let him get away anymore." Of course, Zheng Kezhang will not start now. "You don't have to keep an eye on Yu Ping too closely," Zheng Kezhang commanded. "Give them the opportunity to connect activities, so that the ghosts will jump out one by one." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang reached out and took the towel from the hand of the attendant next to him and wiped his sweat. "That's how it can be done once and for all"

"Zheng Rei's ambition has really been exposed." When the news of Zheng Kezang's appointment as the king of Xia reached Beijing, it was already the end of May of the 33rd year of Kangxi, and Kangxi, who had just recovered his rights from Emperor Shaozheng Yinren, said to the two sons in front of him. "So I don't have to worry about it."

The so-called worry-free is just Kangxi's exaggeration, although Kangxi exonerated the sin of self-reliance on the grounds that Yinren was coerced and continued to retain the identity of the prince, but this hypocritical warmth is just between the father and son who are separated from each other, as for others, Kangxi has no need to be soft, of course, for the stability of the court, Kangxi must use the method of peeling off the cocoon, but even if it is gentle and drizzling, it is also a cleansing, which is bound to cause irreparable impact on the unstable Qing court. It also restrained Kangxi's plan to march south again, thus forcing Kangxi to watch Zheng Ji Daming gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan.

It is based on a clear qiē, so for Kangxi's words, Yinren, who no longer has too many illusions, listened expressionlessly, but the eldest brother Yinren, who already regarded himself as the future prince, said eagerly: "Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that now is the opportunity to counterattack."

Yinren's eyes suddenly lit up, and for a while he thought of Shen Sheng's death inside, and his heavy ears were at peace outside, so he eagerly interrupted Yinren's words without thinking: "Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that what the eldest brother said is extremely true, and when the crusade against the sea is in time, Erchen is willing to go out of Beijing to the south to fight, so as to make meritorious contributions." ”

Yinren finished his request in one breath, but it was Kangxi's scrutinizing gaze that responded to him, Yinren's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and after a long time, Kangxi waved his hand: "You were coerced by Tong Guowei, what is the fault, wearing a crime and making meritorious service is just a nonsense, besides, you are the prince, the prince, how can you leave the capital without permission, there is no need to say it in the future." ”

Looking at the gloomy retreating Yinren and the sneering Yinren, Kangxi's thoughts flashed, and then he said with a pleasant face: "As for the southern expedition now, you think very easily, but the imperial court has lost the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, and the granary of Huguang cannot be counted on. ”

Yinchu was stunned for a moment, he thought about it and seemed to understand something, knowing that he had been too proud recently to attract Kangxi's beating, but thinking about it, without Mingzhu's support, his only reason for the eldest brother was that he was just older.

Seeing that Yinchu also retreated after being beaten, Kangxi lowered his head and looked at the recital in his hand again, and suddenly he threw the recital to the ground in a rage: "The Emperor is extremely deaf, there are horse bandits in the root place of Fengtian Ancestor, he doesn't suppress or report it, what is his intention, someone came to the Zongren Mansion to take away his auxiliary prince, and served in front of the Huaiyang army." ”

The two princes who had just eaten the lesson didn't dare to make a sound, but after losing his temper, Kangxi asked Su La, who was waiting, to pick up the piece and read it carefully again. ”

The two who were named took the chapter, their heads came together and watched carefully, and after a long time, Yinren said hesitantly: "It has been a long time since the appearance of horse bandits in Liaodong, and the corpse of the corpse has been ignored in its position, and it is really an unforgivable crime to sit back and watch the Tunzhuang be destroyed and the clothes to be plundered. ”

Kangxi picked the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Yinchu, who said at this time: "Erchen thinks that this matter is not so simple. ”

Kangxi sighed, and listened to Yinchu continue: "The time when this horse bandit haunts is the time when the sea rebel invades the southeast, and it is unknown whether there is any connection with the sons and ministers during this period, but it may not be possible for the big ship of the sea to penetrate deep into Liaodong. ”

"Someone," Kangxi yelled at the door, and one of the imperial guards immediately rolled in, Kangxi immediately ordered. "The Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have checked whether the looted minions are the remnants of the three feudal clans, and in addition, I still remember that Dai Zi once made a kind of Lianzhu firecracker, and asked him to walk to the gun immediately."
