Chapter 111: Meeting
So after he took office, he earnestly proposed to recover the Central Plains, attack back to the north, and repel Jiannu.
But his series of twists and turns are like mud cows entering the sea.
Later, after several inquiries, he was surprised to find that the emperor of the dynasty was nothing more than a puppet in the hands of those governors.
At this moment of national peril, Zodiac Zhou was disheartened.
found that relying on the imperial court was no longer able to regain the old mountains and rivers, and it was impossible to reach the sky.
So, he retreated to the next best thing and turned his head to assist King Lu, who dominated Huaixi.
Unite the Ming Dynasty's Wenchen Liu Zongzhou, and Tang King Zhu Yujian.
Prepare 30,000 soldiers and horses and start the first Northern Expedition.
As a result, due to the internal warlord infighting in the Southern Ming Dynasty, after losing 20,000 people, the Northern Expedition failed.
The incomprehensible Zodiac Zhou did not give up.
Since the court is unreliable, the vassal king is unreliable.
Then it's on your own.
So he used his influence in his hometown for many years to prepare for the volunteers of the people.
In just half a year, 20,000 rebel troops were integrated.
Because at that time, the people of the Ming Dynasty already knew the wolf ambitions of the Jiannu people.
Including the former court-stirring sticks, the Donglin Party also knew that they thought Jiannu too well.
First of all, the Donglin Party in history originally took their hundreds of millions of family assets to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
As a result, their possessions were gone.
Another look, their wives and concubines were gone.
When the third came down, their families were also killed, and there were not many left.
As a result, in the first two years after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, almost six out of ten people in the Ming Dynasty were thinking of resisting the Qing Dynasty.
It was precisely because the Northern Expedition won the hearts of the people that Huang Daozhou recruited more and more soldiers.
Even on their way north, the common people along the way heard that Huang Daozhou had sent out the Northern Expedition, and they joined the army one after another.
Even though the people who face the loess with their backs to the sky on weekdays have no weapons, they are still holding farm tools and wooden sticks one by one, murderous and high-spirited.
This is the "flat soldier" that has been recorded in history.
But in the end, Huang Daozhou was outnumbered, defeated and captured.
After being captured, Huang Daozhou, who would rather die than give in, was martyred.
In history, there were such loyal ministers through the ages, and the Ming Dynasty was not absent.
It's just not reused, it's not appreciated, it's not protected, it's not understood.
Now, Huang Daozhou doesn't need to recruit the elders of his hometown to fight Jiannu.
He also doesn't need to witness the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the stupidity and incompetence of the Southern Ming.
Now that Zhou Xian is in charge of the country, the atmosphere above the court of the Ming Dynasty is lit by the person of Zodiac Zhou.
Yes, when Hou Lianhui told Zhou Xian that Lord Huang had come to Beijing.
A thousand thoughts and brains disturbed Zhou Xian's heart.
Wu has Lu Delin and Liu Yuzhou, which can ensure that the Ming border is worry-free.
Now the Zodiac Week, the leader of the Wenchen, is coming!
The civil and military wings of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as having to be gathered.
In an instant, Zhou Xian's thoughts were complicated.
Looking at the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace, he wanted to see through.
So excited!
Without waiting for Hou Lianhui to enter the door, Zhou Xian got up and walked down the hall and walked outside the palace gate.
Not long after, Huang Daozhou and Wang Zheng both entered the Qianqing Palace.
After seeing the concubine of the country, Huang Daozhou was a little stunned.
His expression was also a little sluggish.
He looked around in disbelief, and felt that the palace that had left him with no ambition was still the same as before.
Even so, Huang Daozhou also bowed and bowed: "The old minister sees Chitose." ”
"Aiqing is exempt, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Zhou Xian stepped up and personally helped Huang Dao Zhou up.
He motioned for Wang Zheng to get up.
Zhou Xian looked at Zodiac Zhou with blazing eyes.
This person is already over fifty years old, and the oily scholars and scholars in the court are all in their fifties and sixties, and they look energetic.
But Huang Daozhou has become an old man with a rickety figure and gray hair.
And he was wearing plain clothes, and his figure looked even thinner.
But it gives people the aura of a celebrity who is free from things.
"Aiqing has been working hard for you to meet you overnight."
Huang Daozhou's hands were clenched by Zhou Xian, and then Zhou Xian's subtle concern was heard.
His old figure was slightly stunned, and his eyelids twitched a few times unconsciously.
He never expected that the position of the superintendent of the country, the master of the horse, would be so kind and such a courteous corporal.
When the horse married Princess Changping, Huang Daozhou was also present.
And he is also one of the six bachelors who have been married.
At that time, he felt that the colt was a son-in-law who couldn't get on the stage.
It is simply not worth entrusting with a big task.
Even in many things, the pattern of the colt is far inferior to that of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But in the last half a year.
What this horse master did exceeded his expectations, and it also completely washed away the inherent impression in his original heart.
Especially the zodiac Zhou Yuan is in Liangjiang, but he has already heard of the murderous name of the last concubine of the Ming Dynasty.
That has almost become a nightmare for those corrupt officials in the Lianghuai region.
According to folk history, many dirty corrupt officials can really wake up in their sleep, and the corners of their mouths whisper 'Chitose don't kill, Chitose don't kill, spare ......me'
Such remarks.
The iron-blooded system is simply amazing!
At that time, Huang Daozhou no longer looked at this colt with a contemptuous mentality.
It's worship!
Worship from the bones.
Soon, the murderous name of the horse master spread out of Lianghuai and spread to Liangjiang.
And in the south of the entire Ming Dynasty, it has become a thunderous existence.
So much so that most of the officials in the people, if the children in the family cry, the officials will use the name of Zhou Taisui to intimidate.
It works great!
Those second-generation officials who have become famous in various places want to go out and bully men and women.
will also be taken home by their father and taken home, a good stick education.
And reprimanded fiercely: "Don't TM make trouble for Lao Tzu outside, the colt knows, our family is gone, understand?" ”
Rumors such as this are no longer uncommon in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, since the outbreak of the Zhao Yanpei case in Jinling City.
Zhou Xian, the master of the horse, has become the Shura Tai Sui in the Ming Dynasty.
Almost all the corrupt officials have brushed the impression of this prisoner to the abyss of the limit......
But the more corrupt officials hate Zhou Xian, the more Zodiac Zhou loves it!
"Hou Lianhui."
"The minions are here."
"What are you doing? Why don't you give a seat to the two adults? ”
"Yes."
"If you serve them tea, you will serve the snow ginseng tea that Lu Delin picked back from the front line in Liaodong."
"Yes."
The reason why Zhou Xian mentioned the ginseng of Liaodong is also to set a tone for today's topic.
That is the determination to carry out military reform and agricultural reform on its own.
Hou Lianhui invited Zodiac Zhou to take a seat.
The latter retreated in surprise and panic: "Old minister, no, how can the little people be virtuous, dare to sit with Chitose." ”
At this time, Huang Daozhou had no official status.
He also came to the palace as a commoner this time.
