In the Palace of Raising the Heart in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Liu Ziguang was sitting on Kangxi's throne, with his legs crossed on the top of the dragon book case, dangling in his hands, holding the list of Han officials sorted out by the officials.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Han nationality was used on a large scale, because the Manchus were only good at war, and they did not know anything about culture, education, economy and other fields, so they followed a lot of Han officials, and followed the Han system, opened the imperial examination widely, and for a short period of time, the Southern Ming Dynasty politics **, but there were also some southern scholars who were disappointed in the Ming Dynasty and ran to Beijing to take the exam.

At present, Liu Ziguang is the same as the situation encountered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there is a serious lack of civil officials in his hands, and his red-shirted army is full of people who can recruit good fighters, conquer cities and conquer the country, but they can't count on them, the academy is still under construction, and civil officials cannot be provided for the time being, so they have to be selected from the Manchu Qing Dynasty's demoted officials.

This file records the names and resumes of all Han officials in Beijing, Liu Ziguang looked at it at a glance and picked out some names, marked them with pencils, and then said to the guards: "Go and find me the person who underlines the name." ”

As soon as the guards went out, the little eunuch who was dedicated to serving Liu Ziguang came in and lay down from a distance away, saying, "The Generalissimo, the emperor has come up to greet you." ”

Today's Gongrong Emperor has to come to Liu Ziguang every morning and evening to invite An Daqing, the tradition of ruling the world with filial piety, as the emperor supported by Liu Ziguang, Fushou naturally wants to fulfill his filial piety.

Liu Ziguang said: "Pass." Fu Shou came in respectfully, not when he was in the court, the emperor was wearing civilian clothes, a bright yellow Tuanlong horse coat, wearing a melon skin hat, a big jade in the middle, Liu Ziguang was shabby, a half-old battle robe, rubber bottom, canvas body of combat boots, not even a hat on the head, but the demeanor of the people was there, and the golden knife sat down, not angry and arrogant.

When Fu Shou entered the door, he kowtowed, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother Chen, please give peace to the eldest brother, can the eldest brother's body and bones be fine?" Liu Ziguang said with a big grin: "Okay, the emperor also has to take care of the dragon body." ”

In these two sentences, even if the process of asking for peace is over, and then Fu Shou was escorted back to his Qianqing Palace under the escort of the eight yellow coat guards sent to him by Liu Ziguang, without Liu Ziguang's consent, he didn't even have the freedom to leave the palace, let alone meet anyone privately, this kind of day is better than being a prince of the Taiping back then, Fu Shou regretted it, but now the matter is irreparable, he can only go to the dark one way, fortunately, he can wear a dragon robe, call himself a lonely widow, and be majestic in front of the eunuchs and palace maids, no matter what, he is also an emperor, even if it is a child, the emperor is also an emperor.

Not long after, Liu Ziguang selected the Han officials, and a large group of people of all ages came to the Yangxin Palace, a large group of people of all ages and young people wore their own custom-made Ming Dynasty round-neck official uniforms, and some wore Qing Dynasty style placket official uniforms, but all of them cut off their braids, to be honest, none of these people can be said to have both ability and political integrity, because in the case of the Han regime still exists, surrendering to the enemy and taking the initiative to join the enemy are despicable behaviors, but Liu Ziguang does not intend to investigate the moral debt of these people, he now wants only people who have the ability to govern the country.

Liu Ziguang is also a person who has been in the officialdom for a period of time, and when he looks at it, he can see whether a person is talented by asking a few questions, and he adopts the method of interviewing one by one, and calls them in to ask them in for questioning, poor these officials, they boast that they are proficient in calligraphy, painting, and poetry, but they can't show it at all in front of this "Emperor Taishang", and they only ask a few simple questions: Why do you want to be an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? What are your thoughts on your future? What do you think about the future of this country? Although they are three extremely simple questions, they contain a lot of content.

For the first question, most people are in tears, regretting that they recognized the thief as their father and the tiger at the beginning, and some people said that they had to be in love at that time, and they couldn't help themselves; As for the second question, the officials all expressed their willingness to continue to use their wisdom and talents in their current positions, and some even asked Liu Ziguang to give them a heavier burden; For the third question, the answers are very diverse, but in general, it is said that the world will be unified, and the Ming Dynasty will return to its former glory.

After some selection, Liu Ziguang eliminated some people and selected some people, among the selected people, there were three people who stood out, namely Xiong Cixu, Among Li Guangdi and Gao Shiqi, Xiong Cixu is the oldest in Shunzhi's fifteenth year of Jinshi, and he is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and Li Guangdi and Gao Shiqi are both Jinshi in Enke in the first year of Kangxi, and they are both in their early twenties, the three of them are southerners, Xiong Cixu is Huguangxiao, touching, Li Guangdi is a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, Gao Shiqi is a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang, and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to take the Jinshi as an official, and he actually passed the examination, which shows that he does have some real skills.

The three of them are not outstanding in Hanchen, and their official positions are also very low, but they are just attendants of the Hanlin Academy. Shu Jishi and other small civil officials, but when they answered Liu Ziguang's question, the surprising unity was to say that they came to Beijing to take the exam for their own future, and they were willing to be loyal to the marshal from now on, please note that they are loyal to the marshal rather than loyal to the Ming Dynasty, which is easy to ignore but very important, for the future of the country, the three of them all talked eloquently, showed their strengths, Xiong Cixu started from the general trend of the world, analyzed the various reasons for the failure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and his views on the future, greatly promoted trade, reduced taxes, and allowed land to be bought and sold freely was his suggestion. Li Guangdi, on the other hand, said from the aspect of science and technology that the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not pay attention to science and technology, and it was only because they were complacent that they lost their military superiority, and that future wars would inevitably eliminate the once glorious method of warfare of mounted archery, but replace them with large-scale firearms units, and that to maintain firearms units, it is necessary to develop the economy and make continuous progress and maintain scientific and technological superiority at all times. Gao Shiqi said that in order to prosper the country, it is necessary to attach importance to education, and talent is the foundation of everything, and the current imperial examination system is backward and must be reformed.

The views of these three people are relatively advanced, and Liu Ziguang's ideas are very similar, and they are all cheerful people, Liu Ziguang would rather use real villains than use hypocrites, literati and martial artists to learn the same skills, naturally want to change the title of wife, Yinzi, they are not shy about the statement that they want to be officials, so that Liu Ziguang feels that these three people are available!

So Xiong Cixu was named the head of the Ministry of Households, Li Guangdi was named the head of the Ministry of Industry, Gao Shiqi was named the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice, or to hand over to his own people to be the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and not let outsiders control Liu Ziguang picked out a few thousand-level officers from the Red Shirt Army to serve as these official positions, pitiful these officers take off their red robes, they will be the Lord of the Book of Books, where will they be civil officials, fortunately, the scope of the jurisdiction of this small court of Gongrong is only the area of Zhili, and Tianjin, Anping, and Shanhaiguan are all under the military management of the Ming Army, and the orders of the so-called six departments can't even get out of the capital, so it's not too difficult for them。

Li Guangdi recommended two people to Liu Ziguang, Nan Huairen, a foreigner of Qintianjian and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, said that Dai Zi and Nan Huairen were the heroes who helped Kangxi cast cannons, while Dai Zi was fond of machinery and weapons since he was a child, and he studied this way.

Liu Ziguang was very happy to take the two of them into the account, and when he returned to Nanjing, he brought them back to Nan Huairen, who was originally afraid that Liu Ziguang hated him for helping the Qing State cast weapons and surrendered his guilt, who knew that not only was he not guilty, but he could also go to Nanjing to preach, and Dai Zi was even happier to go to the Nanjing Daming Royal Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University Hall to study.

The dust settled in Beijing, the status of the Manchurians plummeted, there was no place for the Manchurians in the court, and the only few official positions above the fourth rank were still deputy positions, which were deliberately maintained in order to ensure that there were several Manchurians in the Taihe Hall to decorate the façade. The soldiers of the Eight Banners have no weapons, no war horses, and can only squat in the barracks every day to sit and eat, waiting for death, but there is gossip that the imperial court will soon send them out to fight, Liu Ziguang will not let go of them, this group of unstable factors, just wait for the right time to disrupt the formation, and the green camp Han army will be mixed into Shanxi to copy the back road of the Western Xia people.

As Liu Ziguang expected, the crisis in Nanjing was quickly resolved, and the gunboats of the Shanghai Navy Division went upstream, blocking Hong Chengchou's retreat, and the soldiers and horses of Qinwang in Zhenjiang, Wuhu, Hefei, and Jiangnan prefectures and counties also marched towards Nanjing together.

The southern water network was dense, and it was difficult for the cavalry to wield the advantage, and Nashungeril's troops engaged in several sieges and reinforcements, but failed, and tried to snipe at people, but were led into the swamp and suffered heavy losses.

Hong Chengchou tried to attack the city, only to know that Nanjing is known as the tiger and the dragon, not in vain, the defensive force is even more fierce than Qingdao, Zhu Youxiao sent the capital to mobilize the forces that can be mobilized, in the arsenal, those advanced weapons that are ready to go to the north are all beckoned to the head of the Qing army, cannonballs are like rain, Hong Chengchou assault Nanjing is a fast word, since a blow is missed, you have to evacuate quickly, otherwise there is a danger of being dumplings, thanks to him, he used a few warships to attract the attention of the Ming gunboats, overnight the army withdrew to the north shore, and returned north in a hurry.

Although the danger in the capital was lifted, Zhu Youxiao always didn't have a good feeling in his heart, and even thirteen emergency calls asked Liu Ziguang to come back to save him, but he was unmoved, and only said that he would send Li Yan back to help, but as soon as he heard that the danger was lifted, he simply transferred Li Yan's troops back on the way, which clearly did not take the emperor seriously.

Zhu Youxiao's dissatisfaction, Liu Ziguang did not know, he just relied on his own judgment to think that Hong Chengchou would not pose much threat to Nanjing, if it involved the war situation in Beijing, he would be dragged away by the enemy, and the facts proved that he was right, if the whole army rushed to Nanjing at that time, then the war would have been delayed for at least several months.

Aixin Jueluo's imperial village, summer garden, palace, hunting ground, as well as state-owned coal mines and factories have all become war trophies, and the price of the north ticket in the Shanghai Stock Exchange has quadrupled, it is still priceless, and even the new stocks have been snapped up at a high price, with the help of internal relations, Peng Jingrong and Hu Yimin, who have already bought a large amount of war stocks at the market price, have ruthlessly exploded a sum of money, if the stocks in their hands are realized, I am afraid that there will be tens of millions of taels.

Liu Ziguang is like the CEO of a large enterprise, forcibly buying Daqing, a company with a very low price-earnings ratio, so that the stock of the parent company skyrocketed and made a lot of money. And this CEO doesn't plan to wipe it clean and leave, he wants to continue to operate the company in Daqing and create more benefits~
