In the second Battle of Tuen Mun, Wang Hong mobilized almost 15 times the number of troops and 10 times the number of warships, and also went through the early imitation of guns and centipede boats, and ventured to carry out a sneak attack at night before he was victorious.

But after all, it was a victory.

With the power of a great victory, Guangdong began to suppress bandits.

Zhao Jun led his troops to suppress the bandits on land, and after the rearmament, the Haiphong Dao warships, which were equipped with some new artillery, began to go to the sea again at the end of October to suppress the bandits.

The ships are still being built, and the Guangxi side is sending troops here, because the Portuguese in Manraka may attack again.

As for the money and grain needed, Zhang Fujing's sword from the Son of Heaven was still pinned to his waist, and all the autumn grain in Guangdong was left in Guangdong after it was collected, and Xie Changjie had already started to preside over the affairs of Qingzhang land from Guangzhou Mansion.

It was Prince Liang who took the lead in taking the initiative to cooperate, and the former cabinet elders all made gestures, does anyone want to try the means of solving the politics and the history of the Yuanxing Wangfu with a ruthless expression?

Xie Changjie's strength was so fierce that even Zhang Fujing was a little scared: Is this going in the direction of making himself a lonely minister?

Those who can be cleared out of a lot of land are all official gentry families or wealthy merchants. Who of these people in the court has no friends? Who doesn't have a few reading seedlings in the family?

This saved Zhang Fujing a lot of things, but he was not in a hurry to try any other new methods. The only thing that was approved at the national policy meeting was to clarify the tax situation in Guangdong and improve the "Law on Tribute Transactions of Fanbo" requested by Wu Tingju, and the other was to reform Guangdong's coastal defense system - first to prevent the first, supplemented by the suppression of the invaders.

Zhang Fujing still has two months to go, and by the end of the year, he will sort out the situation of Guangdong's taxation and tributary trade.

But he knew that his most important task was to find out the situation of maritime merchants and pirates under the sea ban, and to establish a tax revenue system based on Guangdong that could support the prototype of ocean-going sailors.

Only when Guangdong Province can reach this level can we talk about the further development of the new law and make a profit from the next move.

He is now pondering, although Your Majesty does not need the benefits of Guangdong for the time being, but the beauty of Guangdong, Your Majesty will still need it next year, right?

So he chose to "comfort" the hard-working Xie Changjie, invited him to the family banquet and asked: "Brother Jie, I concentrate on the emperor's order, you have been in the palace for a long time, and you will have to worry about next year's draft, so you should pay more attention to the land in Qingzhang." Of course, don't disturb the people and leave the handle! ”

The corners of Xie Changjie's eyes twitched.

Do you think I know His Majesty's preferences very well or something?

My special lard is blinded, and I am ready to bid for His Majesty's selection of the princess to receive benefits, do you dare to listen to it?

But then he thought about it, but said with a straight face: "Lord Futai, Your Majesty has declared Tianwei in Guangdong, and if you choose a Guangdong show girl as a queen or concubine next year, it will not be a policy of appeasement." Lord Futai is a messenger, and the saint is extraordinary, so you might as well speak up and ask for it. In this way, it will not seem that Guangdong has other ideas and is inferior. ”

Zhang Fujing was thoughtful.

He pleaded guilty and said that he compared the emperor to Huguang dragon and tiger medicine, and the emperor only replied, "That string of sharp edges is very wonderful."

Saying that His Majesty is fierce, he is also happy, isn't he?

Why don't you try again? Now that Emperor Daxing has been introduced, His Majesty is already sixteen years old.

I just think that it was really too fierce to cut people before, and Guangdong needs His Majesty's grace now, um.

Zhang Fujing raised his glass with a smile on his face: "Brother Xie reminded me very much!" Come, drink! ”

……

Huang Zuo belongs to the hometown of Yijin, it stands to reason that he is at the level of the fourth grade, how can he easily become an official in his hometown?

But Guangdong is now an extraordinary period after all, and Zhang Fujing killed too hard. Even with Chen Jin, an important minister who is familiar with the two Guangzhous, many specific tasks still have to be carried out more efficiently.

Huang Zuo is the right senator, and the specific work is to guard Lingnan Road. This division is mainly used as a political envoy to do the work of uploading and distributing to the prefect and governor of the local prefecture, which seems to have little authority, but in fact it belongs to local practical work.

Political envoys and left and right participation in politics are all about controlling the direction.

In fact, most of the specific work of the political envoys and yamen is done by the senators.

What's more, Huang Zuo's identity: Xinke Jinshi, Bangyan, from the seventh grade of the Hanlin Academy to the fourth grade.

Another person in Guangdong who flew at this speed was his good friend Zhang Fujing.

Therefore, Yang Shen was very restrained in front of Huang Zuo: If nothing else, Guangzhou Mansion is on Lingnan Road.

"Yang Futai, this is the letter that Ling Zun entrusted me to bring."

Yang Shen hurriedly took it with both hands: "There is Lao Huang Senator, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

"It's a gesture." Huang Zuo is more modest than him, "Futai is famous, and Xizhai has always admired it." Now he is leaving the imperial study to accompany him and go to the frontier to share his worries for the king, which is even more impressive to Xi Zhai. Since Xi Zhai is guarding the Lingnan Road, what is the difficulty of the government in Guangzhou Mansion, we must not see the outside. Xi Zhai is willing to help Futai to speed up the nostalgia and show his ambitions. ”

Yang Shen hurriedly said: "It's really a long drought and a rainy day, and the lower officials thanked me first." ”

Of course, there are many people who are familiar with the situation in Guangdong, but Chen Jin has been by his father, and he is far away in Wuzhou; Liang Chu was also by his father, so it's good if he doesn't embarrass him.

Yang Shen didn't expect Huang Zuo to suddenly get such a big promotion, but he was still so modest.

Now that I need to face some government affairs, I know how idle and carefree I was in the Hanlin Academy in the past.

He, the son of Shoufu, will certainly make his subordinates and squires more awe-inspiring, but this identity and the clear stream habits he has cultivated over the years will create a sense of distance between him and others.

Well, now Huang Zuo is a local, and he has been in the Hanlin Academy, so he is a role model.

With such a person willing to help him, and both of them had talents to talk about, Yang Shen relaxed a lot for a while, and immediately invited him to his home for dinner on the grounds of thanking him for bringing the letter.

Hearing that Huang Zuo had arrived, Zhang Fujing, who had just returned to Guangzhou from Zhaoqing Mansion, came uninvited.

"On this table today, there are all the flowers on the top of the list, and they should be white!" Zhang Fu Jingzhi was proud for a while, and when he saw Huang Zuo happy and drunk late, he was a little floaty when he spoke.

Huang Zuo glanced at Yang Shen, who was slightly embarrassed, and immediately raised his glass and smiled: "Brother Mao Gong, first you have a sword and two criminal ministers are the head, and there are Qingzhang Tianren who are uneasy. With the hope of being the champion of the cultivator, you and I have been given the grace of His Majesty to enter the first class, why not teach multiple times in Guangdong? Next year's township test, Guangdong Xiucai gathered, there are champions who do not hesitate to teach, and Guangdong will be a tribute to many high school tribute students. Isn't it a grand event for you and me to be cheeky and teach you a little experience? ”

Yang Shen hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." I know that Guangzhou Prefecture, this county school, the government will be more attentive. ”

Zhang Fujing also came back to his senses, thought about it and said: "Uncle Cai is very right! In this two large cases, most of them have no registered fields. Next year's township test is a major event, and the Mongolian social science should not be neglected, and more can be established. At present, Guangdong not only has many examinations for the main examination of Confucianism, but also has the ability to repair such a world, and we should gather together, and it is time to revitalize the name of Cantonese. Caibo, I respect you! With repair, I will ask you more for next year's township test! ”

The conversation turned to this, which is not only a specific political achievement, but also in line with the fluttering feeling in the hearts of the three successful people in the imperial examination, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Originally, the embarrassment of Tanhua being the best mixed and the youngest champion was gone, and Yang Shen found that the two of them were extraordinary.

Huang Zuo is modest and delicate, but he is not only modest to the lower officials, but also knows how to remind the upper officials tactfully.

Needless to say, Zhang Fujing was able to quickly accept Huang Zuo's reminder without feeling angry.

They're not simple characters.

……

"Why he was stabbed to death, I don't know."

In Zhenjiang Mansion, Gui Cao, who has compact facial features and a messy beard, always reveals a sense of provocation that makes people want to punch two punches.

He looked at Zhai Luan and Zhu Su with small eyes: "When I was the governor of Dantu County, the prefect was not him. I've only been working in Dantu for more than a year, and I don't know much. ”

Zhai Luan and Zhu Kun only felt that there was some distrust in his unruly eyes.

"The Governor of Zhezhi summoned you to ask you to assist in the investigation of the Qin case." Zhai Luan looked at him, "Why did you repeatedly offend Shangguan at that time?" ”

Gui Cao said very calmly: "I have a bad temper. ”

Zhai Luan and Zhu Su looked at each other: we have already felt this.

But Gui Cao put on a posture of "I will come if you ask me to come, but I don't know what you ask", and Zhai Luan and Zhu Su couldn't do anything for a while.

"In Renzhi County, Wukang, Huzhou, it was also because of his bad temper that he repeatedly offended Shangguan?"

"I really have a bad temper." A hint of a smile on the corner of Gui Cao's mouth was hidden in his beard, and there was some cunning in his eyes.

The three of them were temporarily stalemate here, Zhang Zilin didn't know that a branch of investigation he had arranged was now two cabinet ministers and a feudal official in history who were temporarily promoted in rank.

The current three are still relatively vegetable.

It was Zhu Kun who opened his mouth first: "Brother Zishi, after the end of school, I came to Zhenjiang on the order of the governor, and the first thing I did was to supervise and suppress the bandits. After several days of investigation, most of the Yangtze River bandits were involved in smuggling salt. There is no need to think about it, the south of the Yangtze River is afraid that melons and vines are implicated, and there are few people who come out of the mud without staining. I look at the temper of my brother, not like the predecessors said that he is the same as the light, but because of this, he has repeatedly offended Shangguan? ”

Gui Cao restrained the cunning in his eyes a little, but still looked at Zhu Su with vigilance.

"Brother Zishi probably doesn't know, I'm from Suzhou. My father was a teacher in Jingning County in the past, but he was dismissed because of the framing of his colleagues, and then he was persecuted in every way. My brother attacked the official in anger, and three days after I was born, my family was imprisoned for committing a rebellion. ”

Zhu Kun said these things flatly, and even Zhai Luan couldn't help but look at him.

Gui Cao fell silent and looked at him solemnly.

Zhu Su saluted: "The southeast kills the official, Your Majesty is furious." The governor was ordered to go south, which was clarifying the opportunity for the southeastern officials to rule. What Brother Zishi has learned in his life, did he retreat to the mountains and forests because he repeatedly met villains? To help the governor solve the case, the governor must recommend Brother Zishi, no longer just a small county is held hostage by the officials everywhere. ”

"What is the ambition of Brother Zichun in this life?" Gui Cao asked suddenly.

Zhu Kun said calmly: "There are many officials and gentry in Jiangnan, and all the miscellaneous servants are returned to the people who are struggling to survive. Natural and man-made disasters are sometimes displaced. The younger brother has no great talent, but he is willing to do his best to defend the land and the people. ”

Gui Cao's eyes lit up, and then he stood up a little straighter, straightened his sleeves and saluted: "Disrespectful!" ”

Then he looked at Zhai Luan: "Lord Langzhong, although Your Majesty is angry, this southeast matter is intertwined, and Lord Dutai may be difficult to unravel." Kill officials, there are still fewer officials and officials who die of old age, illness, and fall into the water every year in the southeast? If I hadn't been in a bad temper in the past, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. This blatant killing of officials, and even more prefects and patrols, it is obvious that the big net has been completed. However, as far as I know, this southeastern gentry has the courage to make money, but he really doesn't have this kind of courage. The man who weaves the web is probably not in the southeast. The governor of Taiwan is exhausted in the southeast, and I am afraid that the south is in the opposite direction. ”

……

"Your Majesty, do you remember what the minister said in the palace at that time?" Zhou Zhao, who had been cultivating for nearly two months, finally got better, and after being summoned to the Qianqing Palace, he talked about what he was most concerned about, "My father was the magistrate of Lehui County, Qiongzhou, Guangdong Province in the past, and Haikou was troubled. At that time, the coastal defense road was not suppressed, and now it seems that the maritime merchants and Haikou have been colluding with Guangdong for a long time. My father had the responsibility to defend the land, but he couldn't ignore it, so he recruited the townsmen to set up an ambush and won a battle, and he was killed half a month later. ”

Zhou Zhao, who is nearly eighty years old, recalled the old events with tears in his eyes.

"My father was on the way to supervise the mountain road when he encountered a sharp slope and a rockfall. The rain in Qiongzhou is dense and forested, and there is no heavy rain at that time, how can the mountains and rocks be loosened? However, the rolling boulders poured down from the top of the mountain, and the father and more than a dozen servants and officials could not be all corpses. Zhou Zhao said solemnly, "Although there is no clear evidence, under the national policy of banning the sea, those who dare to go to sea can die!" His Majesty entered Beijing, swallowing thousands of miles, and on the way back to Beijing, he heard that His Majesty ordered Qin to send a sword from the Son of Heaven to the south, and he was anxious! Your Majesty, you are in a hurry! ”

Even if it was Yuan Zonggao, he couldn't talk to Zhu Houxi in a "reprimanding" tone like Zhou Zhao.

After all, he left the palace for several years, missing the most critical years of the emperor's childhood to adolescence.

Second, he is not as old as Zhou Zhao.

Nearly seventy-seven years old, never overstepping. Zhou Zhao has no desire and is rigid, and only has pure concern for the emperor.

Zhu Houxi was silent, and only replied after a while: "I have a holy decree to expel the Portuguese, and hundreds of soldiers have sacrificed their lives because of it, and I really blame myself......"

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, which is a blessing to the world." Zhou Zhaochang sighed, "Fortunately, Your Majesty has shown his courage before, won the hearts of the people a little, and took advantage of the competition between the two factions to subdue the court. Otherwise, although Zhang Fujing is fast, the two Guangzhous are already in chaos! This time, it's risky and dangerous! It seems that the strategy is decisive for a thousand miles, but in fact, if the trust is not human, if there are one or two people in the center who are secretly paralyzed, things will change! ”

“…… I've been taught. ”

What Zhou Zhao said was that he didn't expect Zhang Fujing to be so decisive and brave, nor did he expect that after the establishment of the national policy meeting, the two factions would compete so delicately and form a temporary tacit understanding.

In Zhou Zhao's view, this has never been safe, but a manifestation of "eagerness".

"Then let the officials of the world go to the "On Hai Ce", and the special grace will promote new entrants, and it will increase the danger again!" Zhou Zhao said earnestly, "The minister grew up by the sea since he was a child, and he knows the benefits of the sea frontier. Under the ban on the sea for a hundred years, how many officials and gentry along the coast have taken this as the foundation for their clan? His generation has already become a trend because of this, but I hope that there will be no change in the slightest! Although it is only a matter of words now, it has not changed, but it is enough to disturb some people. There are also ill-intentioned people who stir up trouble, and they are coerced, and there is no way out! ”

Zhu Houxi frowned.

Zhou Zhao said sincerely: "Your Majesty! You are the first to ascend to the treasure, and the future is long. What you should be staring at most right now is not Liangguang, nor the southeast, nor the border towns, but the vassal kings! In just two or three years, Your Majesty will become a big deal! Slowly promote the new entrant, calmly arranged, this is the best policy! Those who have a heart only hope that His Majesty is anxious. The drama of central change is what they like to see; The speed of new promotions is a joy for their generation! The place is at a loss, and they like to hear it! ”

"As long as there is a little more Mars, the undercurrent of the world is surging, and the opportunity for them to take advantage of it will come! Since the dispute between His Majesty and the ministers, they must have begun to plan because of this! The fire of Rijing Gate began, followed by the defeat of Tuen Mun, and the southeast killed officials! Everywhere the net is intended! Please be wise to your majesty, and don't ignore it because of the image of the central salty obedience! ”

Zhou Zhao finished speaking in one breath, and then coughed.

Huang Jin and Zhu Qingping were extremely worried when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look at the emperor.

Zhu Houxi stood up and said: "Thank you for Master Zhou's teachings, I must be cautious!" ”

Zhou Zhao was relieved and sad: "Xun Qi is the pillar of the heavenly family, although there are many incompetent and arrogant people, why does Your Majesty need to demote, remove the knight, seize the property, and admonish at this time?" Wait a few years! Why didn't Zhong Degong speak out and advise? ”

Outside of his words, he began to blame Yuan Zonggao.

Zhu Houxi heard Zhou Zhao say it so bluntly, and he couldn't help but doubt himself: Is it really floating? Really in a hurry?

He felt that he was patient enough, and he was really anxious only in the ocean, which was also driven by a sense of responsibility.

After Zhou Zhao counted Yuan Zonggao, he looked at Zhu Houxi angrily: "Diligent government is naturally good, but what is the reason for discussing politics until late at night?" Your Majesty's most important thing now is to take care of your body and give birth to a prince as soon as possible! This matter is better than several of Your Majesty's plans! ”

The emperor scolded the Son of Heaven, and Zhu Houxi suddenly became a little numb: No matter how wise and martial I am now, I can't afford to give birth to a big fat boy early?
