"Ben General Mawo, the world guards Liaodong!"

In the five military camps, Li Quanli and this group of generals who came to participate in the big competition had a meeting, and now it was time for each military general and his assistant general to meet with the recruits under his command.

It's already night.

The light of the torches shook on the faces of the more than four hundred soldiers standing in the open space of the camp room, and Mavo looked at them.

The soldiers do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. Three months later, he'll be relying on these people to help him get to the next round.

The Emperor actually had a problem for each of them, and Mavo knew it.

Training, take your time, you can always train better than you are now. But there are only three months, and you have to compete with others, and these three months are too much to test the personal charm and ability of the generals.

Marvo got straight to the point and told them his name.

What's next? Which axes? Eat and sleep together, practice together?

Ma Wo thought for a while, and only said: "Your Majesty's grace, give this general a horse flag." After three months, if you don't enter the top ten, you will be a weak brigade in the fifth military camp, and the general will also be a weak general! After March, I will eat and live with you in these three months. ”

The original commander who assisted him couldn't help but look at him: You just said it, is it useful?

In another camp, there is now good wine and meat.

"See? This is the scar left by a sneak attack when the Tartars committed the border the year before last, Lao Tzu cut more than a dozen Tartars! it! Lao Tzu later hacked three to death! ”

In the camp, there is a strong man who clinks glasses with everyone one by one with a wine bowl and shouts there.

He gestured a hand to the scar on his chest, and his heroism suddenly appeared.

The soldier looked at the hideous scar, and couldn't help but be intoxicated by the war in the northwest that he recounted.

"A brother is broken!" The strong man sighed, "But! Lao Tzu first let the Tartar return three lives to one life, and then fought with Shangguan! Pension silver, not a penny can be less than Lao Tzu's soldiers! You are not qualified to be Lao Tzu's soldiers now! No matter how Lao Tzu says it, it is also a thousand households, in Shaanxi, Lao Tzu guards a city, tens of thousands of people! ”

The original commander who assisted him also looked at the scar: What? I'm just a boss in Beijing for the time being, have you been wronged?

In another camp, it was quiet.

There was no feast, no lecture.

Their new "boss" was lying in bed, his eyes still looking at the flag he could see outside the window.

Three months, unfamiliar partners, unfamiliar soldiers, unfamiliar assessment items.

Although many colleagues who thought that they were just quietly testing martial arts thought about it, this topic was actually very difficult.

Until you think clearly, it may be useless to move around.

The soldier is new, and so is himself.

He thought about what Li Quanli said about the separate parade and the ten-mile march, and the three items of bows, guns, and cannons, and suddenly sat up.

Walking out of his barracks, he came to the side and knocked on the door not far away: "Brother Pang, are you asleep?" ”

can be selected as a recruit camp general, at least the level is not bad, right?

If you want to be in the top ten, I'm afraid that the first one who should have a good relationship is the original boss who assists me.

From this night onwards, the generals who entered the Beijing competition had to give full play to their personal charm, communication skills, and training strength.

Few people are thinking about the actual combat exercises in a few months at the moment - the top ten are qualified, and this level is almost one out of ten.

But there are also people who are really studying real combat exercises.

Li Quanli made it very clear that this actual combat exercise really included three aspects: pre-war planning, troop marching, and hand-to-hand combat.

The subject of the exercise is: galloping to the aid of Xuanfu.

Xuanfu is the gateway to the northwest of the capital.

If the Xuanfu is broken, the enemy army will drive directly to the capital.

The subject of the exercise is actually to rush to the Xuanfu.

The general, who was thinking about these in his heart, looked at the map of the border town overnight.

Li Quanli, who had a meeting with the generals under his command, gathered with Qiu Luan in the camp tent of the commander of the five military battalions.

Li Quanli is almost Qiu Luan's father, but now, the two have been classified as rivals by the emperor.

Qiu Luan toasted very low-key: "Li Dudu, don't let your nephew lose ugly." ”

Li Quanli only smiled: "Your Majesty didn't say that the new barracks must win." The recruitment of troops in Beijing is so strict that it is difficult for all armies in the world to match. The Marquis of Xianning holds veterans and veterans in his hands, and occupies the best of the location, and please give these places a little color to the fierce generals who have entered Beijing to take a look, so that they can know that the sky and the earth of the Ming Dynasty are thick. ”

Today, the emperor himself came to give a lecture and present the flag, and in the evening he was allowed to drink and feast to boost morale.

The two drank wine, but the abacus in their hearts was different.

Qiu Luan only entered Zhu Houxi's sight with Guo Xun, and Li Quanli entered the emperor's sight because of his ability to kill officials and suppress bandits in the southeast, and the two were in different circumstances.

Now, Li Quanli's official position is higher, but Qiu Luan's title is higher and younger.

Li Quanli looked at the immature Qiu Luan, but there was only one thought in his heart: If he loses to him, is there a gap in the strength of the "general" under his command and the soldiers, or is there a gap between the generals of the two?

You can't lose!

Zhu Houxi went to the Fifth Military Camp to meet and present flags, leaving behind the thoughts of the full camp competition.

After he returned to the palace, he didn't compete with himself, but took a very comfortable bath first, changed into cool clothes, and came to the room where the ice cubes were placed.

It is not easy to use ice in this court.

The Inner Palace Supervisor, the Ministry of Rites, the Jinyi Guard, the Household Department, and the Ministry of Industry are jointly responsible for the affairs of the palace and the ice required for the sacrifice, and now, the imperial court "chisels the ice twenty districts", and only the ice cellar in the capital will use more than 270 Jinyi Guard Banner School, with only one goal: to make the summer in the palace cooler.

Zhu Houxi finished fighting chicken blood in the school field of the Fifth Army Camp, but after returning to the palace, he paid attention to another matter.

"How's the chain?"

"Your Majesty, I'm already waiting for your review."

As Huang Jin spoke, he only led him to the courtyard where he used to be the master of ceremonies.

Zhang Lun also arrived here.

The emperor followed the printing press and drew up another drawing, and this new project was already highly valued.

But this time, Zhu Houxi is really just for personal enjoyment, and at the same time wants to see if he can inspire them.

Over there, another set of machines has appeared.

"You go up and let Your Majesty see!"

Zhu Houxi's eyes were only fixed on the chain that connected the bicycle gears to the gears of the "human fan".

It's already this taste. As long as there is a clear idea, according to the current level of technology, many things can still be done decently.

After the toss of the printing press, gears are nothing new. Between the gears, it is not necessary for the gears to be driven by each other, and the use of this chain with a clamp groove is only a small change.

But now, as a little eunuch stepped onto the "bicycle seat", stepped on the curved pole with his foot to drive the gears, and drove the fan over there to start turning, Zhu Houxi felt the wind blowing in his face and was still happy.

In the comfort of the human fan, Zhu Houxi only looked at Zhang Lun: "British duke, do you understand?" ”

Zhang Lun: ???

Zhu Houxi was also helpless, but he still said patiently: "Could it be that the British public thinks that I am just for enjoyment?" Now that this thing is feasible, didn't the British public expect that this thing could be used for more things? ”

Zhang Lun: ??? +1

“…… Carriage! Zhu Houxi was convinced, "Horses and livestock are expensive and few!" This gear chain can make the blades turn, but can't it make the wheels turn? If a new kind of vehicle can emerge to carry goods and people? ”

Under today's conditions, Zhu Houxi doesn't think about internal combustion engines or trains, but can't he think about bicycles and tricycles?

Zhang Lun pondered it carefully, suddenly brightened, and then exclaimed: "Your Majesty has a high opinion!" ”

Zhu Houxi also saw the great achievements of his ancestor Zhang Fu and endured this foolishness.

"Let the Tongyi Bureau and Huang Mingji ponder it." Zhu Houxi enjoyed his fan first, "Build some more and send them to the palaces." ”

This is because his court procurement has made the craftsmen more familiar with the technology, and there must be many problems, such as the durability of the gear chain.

But it's more important to open your mind.

And what's more: from a material point of view, there are so many advantages of iron. Iron farming implements, iron gears, iron chains, iron ......

Iron!

Huaxia has long entered the Iron Age, but the scale of iron utilization is still an important indicator in the memory of Zhu Houxi's last life.

Large-scale ironmaking seems to be inextricably linked to chemistry.

Therefore, Zhang Lun and the others saw the emperor standing comfortably at the downwind of the "fan" for a while, and then stood up with a sad face and said, "Go to the Qin'an Palace!" ”

……

Among the eight eyes, four eyes are said to be old, sick, stopped, and careless.

Taking a leave of absence because of old age or physical discomfort is too common among officials in Nanjing.

Now that Jingcha is currently in the present, are you still asking for leave at every turn?

"When is such a day a head!"

A certain official looked at the sky and sighed before going out.

His wife didn't say much, but asked, "If you can't do it, visit a friend, and transfer out of Nanjing as soon as possible." ”

“…… Woman's view! The officer glanced at him and continued to sigh, "When Jingcha is in the past, how can he be transferred?" Promotion and deposition, wait for Jingcha! This delay is months! ”

He thought it was a few months, and he didn't know that Yang Tinghe thought it would be okay for half a year or even longer.

However, at the time of the Jingcha, personnel were frozen, and this was certain.

In the second half of the fifth year of Jiajing, officials in the two capitals felt the pressure from their official positions that might not be guaranteed.

From the fourth rank and above, there is more space. Although it is said that since Chen Shuli has made meritorious deeds, but since Chen Shuli can't blow nonsense to himself, is it possible that the imperial court has arranged all this, and there is no other corroborating material?

Thinking about it, smart people know that the only way to do it is to get things done well in these months.

Shangguan is urging, the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Science and Technology are advising and visiting, and they are trembling every day in the fifth grade and below.

The current things have to be done well, and the previous troubles have to be solved.

For the Beijing officials in Nanjing, the biggest warning from the Beijing inspection at the moment is naturally one point: do not interfere in the reform of the government offices of the prefectures and counties in the south of the country.

The level of Nanzhili and Nanjing has not changed, which does not mean that the prefectures and counties have not changed.

Therefore, with the two major events of clearing up the land and the restructuring of the government office this year, Nanjing's "independent power" over Nanzhili and even the three provinces of Huguang, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang has been increasingly "provoked."

"Gong Xie, Nanjing is the capital of the country! Now there is a lot of fighting, and the officials are panicking. You are highly respected, can't you advise Your Majesty? ”

In a mansion in Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, the old people don't seem to have heard this sentence.

"Gong Xie?"

"Huh?"

"Gong Xie, the foolish nephew said, now in Jingcha, Nanjing Kedao Yan officials are chasing the wind and shadows, and they are wantonly attacking. Nanjing's hundreds of officials are panicking, this is not the luck of the national dynasty! ”

“…… This year, the virtuous nephew was promoted from the Wailang of the Ministry of Military Vehicles to the Langzhong of the Nanjing Military Department, and this is the first time he has returned to the old man's mansion. ”

“…… It's a foolish nephew who is busy with official business, and there are a number of rudenesses. ”

"Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan." The old man smiled, "The virtuous nephew visited today, and the humble house was full of brilliance. The old man is dizzy, deaf and unclear, what does the virtuous nephew say? You and I, in this world, can't move now! Hee-hyun is in good shape now? ”

“…… Lao Xie Gong is worried, and his father's body and bones are not as good as before. ”

This year, who is seventy-eight years old, is Xie Qian, who was famous in the early years of Zhengde.

And this young man is Liu Dong, the son of Liu Jian, who was as famous as Xie Qian and Li Dongyang.

Born as a jinshi, he was a foreign minister of the military department. After Liu Jianzhi, he has been stumbling in the military department. Up to now, even the Driver Department of the Ministry of War has transferred a lot of authority and assets to the Natong Post Bureau, and Liu Dong has also been "promoted" to an official and placed in Nanjing as a certain division of the Ministry of War.

But Lang Zhong is the fifth product, and he is among the "court trials" in Jingcha.

Now, he, a member of the Nanjing Military Department, somehow ran to Zhejiang and came to Xie Qian's house.

Seventy-eight Xie Qian pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Liu Dong was silent.

Although my father is still here, he may not be able to survive these two years.

Although there is now a "love grabbing" policy, Liu Dong has been stumbling for so many years, and he no longer has higher expectations for his career.

With his father's Yu Yin, if he can accumulate some contacts and friends in Nanjing, he may not be able to wait for his children to have a new career.

But Jingcha disrupted everything for him.

Now, he ventured to Zhejiang to visit Xie Qian, but all he gained was this attitude.

"My brother died young, and my father was heartbroken. The foolish nephew is ashamed, and so far he has only been promoted to the fifth rank of idleness. Liu Dong made up his mind and spoke a lot more bluntly, "Gong Xie, Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead, and he is honest with the world." However, Jiangnan is a heavy tax place, and the foundation of the Nanjing Dynasty. At this time, it is not a blessing for the country to make a big move. The foolish nephew is soft-spoken, why doesn't Duke Xie speak out impartially, dissect the interests and disadvantages to His Majesty, and don't lightly touch the ancestral system of the two capitals? ”

Xie Qian seemed to be too old, so he took a sip of tea with the support and service of the servants, and then only asked, "What?" ”

When Liu Dong saw Xie Qian's appearance, he was very depressed, but he couldn't have a seizure.

But the purpose is always to be expressed.

As a result, Xie Qian still said: "The ancestral system of the two capitals? All right! There should be a governor in heaven, okay! ”

If the words are not speculative, Liu Dong will return in vain.

When he left, Xie Qian was in a lot of spirits, where was the old guy who still needed someone to support and feed tea?

His younger brother Xie Di, a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, is now the right senator of Jiangxi, and he works under Yang Tinghe's younger brother Yang Tingyi!

His eldest son, Xie Zheng, is now a member of the Beijing Ministry of Rites!

His second son, Xie Pi, the township test Xie Yuan, the eighteenth year of Hongzhi Tanhualang, is now the editor of the Hanlin Academy!

His third son, Xie Dou, is in Dali Temple in Beijing.

After his fourth son, Xie Gan, succeeded his younger brother, and now he is also the Metropolitan Affairs Office of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

His five sons and six sons are all officials in Shandong, and they are under the control of the "Zhang Killing Head"!

Liu Jian's son, which brain is wrong and wants to pry himself out and jump out to make irresponsible remarks about His Majesty's strategy?

In this Jingcha season, I left my post and came to Zhejiang, crazy, right? I don't know how many Taoist officials are staring at them, for fear that their Jingcha advice has no content?

See you of course! After seeing it, there was no movement, and there was no loss of old friendship, nor did it make His Majesty think anything about his Xie family.

The seventy-eight-year-old Xie Qian was famous for his "ability to talk", which reflected his side of talking about people and talking about ghosts.

After Liu Dong left, he only ordered: "Next year, the old man will be eighty years old, so go to Yan Dutai for an invitation first." ”

The matter of the resetting of the Zhejiang City Bosi that has been rumored in Hangzhou in private has not yet been decided, and the eight-faced Yan Song is afraid that he will think more when he sees his post.

This protégé of Yang Tinghe still doesn't know how deep the water in Jiangnan is!

What if he was born in Jiangxi? It's going up so fast!

Xie Qian had his plans for his own heirs, and Liu Dong could only return in vain.

The Nanjing officials on this hot pot in Beijing, except for not wanting to leave ridiculous reasons such as "old, sick, resigned, and careless" in the special period, now seem quite calm.

No one is talking about what Nanjing is the country.

What is the national capital of Nanjing? In case Beijing is gone, Nanjing is the way out.

Who wants to curse that under the outstanding talent and judgment of His Majesty, Beijing will have nothing?

Jingcha, why did it affect Nanjing's national capital?

However, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate released by Xia Yan and the other officials of the six departments of Nanjing are not making trouble. Since they cannot be spared from the "court trial", it is natural that they must first make meritorious service before they can be justified.

Guo Xun has been in Nanjing for a long time, and now there are many guests in his house.

"Brother Guo, there is nothing illegal for us to live in Nanjing. But now this Nanjing Yanguan is like a wild horse, and the brothers are really a little worried! Your Majesty set up the emperor and set up all the enterprises, we have nothing to say! ”

Next to Guo Xun is Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei who lives in Nanjing.

It was not Xu Pengju who spoke, it was he who answered: "Uncles of the world, you seem to have a lot of tricks like this." ”

“…… What a thing! ”

Guo Xun smiled happily.

The River Transport Bureau and the Shipping Bureau were established, and Nanzhili Zhuwei was first divided.

The Zhenwu battalion recruited troops, and the rest of the people didn't know where to go - other provinces began to recruit and reform at the provincial level, but Nanzhili didn't.

But now a Jingcha, what is the Nanjing lord anxious about?

There is no other reason, because there are many low-grade civil officials in Nanjing, who are actually their sons-in-law, nieces-in-law, and grandsons-in-law......

Now, Guo Xun only said: "If you live in peace, you will live in peace!" The affairs of the Beijing camp, the affairs of the Zhenwu camp, don't you just worry less about it? Your Majesty has already said that if you want to do business, you can do business, and if you want to make contributions! You are all known to me. What are you afraid of? Is there anything else I don't know? ”

Let you invite you to drink and stuff people into the new camp in Liangjing!

What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your daughters, nieces and granddaughters will have a bad life, or are you afraid that Your Majesty has other thoughts about investigating and dealing with Nanjing Xunqi?

The ants on the hot pot are moving indiscriminately, and the hot-blooded soldiers are starting to train recruits in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

In August, Nanjing's right attendant finally arrived in Beijing.

Impeached Jia Yong, the secretary of the Nanjing Officials' Department, and Xia Yan, the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and in the name of Jingcha, connived at the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the officials of the Department of Science and Technology to attack and blackmail the officials of Nanjing, so that the affairs of the Nanjing Departments came to a standstill.

didn't say anything about the importance of Nanjing's national capital.

It is the right attendant of the Nanjing household, not the book of the Nanjing household.

However, Beijing only gave one opinion: Governor Ying Tian, Yang Tinghe, find out the truth, and then report to Beijing.

Yang Tinghe did not have the power to directly govern the six ministries of Nanjing, but he now had a holy order, and the coordination meeting was to be held.

"Jingcha is not a new thing, and the official visit of Kedaoyan has not exceeded the rules, why is the affairs of the ministries stagnant?" Yang Tinghe looked at the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, "I heard that Liu Dong of the Military Department was on leave for nearly half a month due to illness, but Yuyao mentioned Liu Dong's visit in the letter from Qiao Gong. What Gong Xie means by this letter, you should know. Nanjing's ministries are stagnant, is there anything going on? What is the reason for this? ”

What did Xie Qian mean by writing a letter to Yang Tinghe? Tell Yang Tinghe: I don't get involved in this matter, and by the way, there are officials in Nanjing who are not honest.

Falling into a well or releasing a dark arrow? doesn't exist, he is an old man, a former court elder, and the words in the letter are absolutely exquisite, as if he is just chatting about the past.

But Yang Tinghe directly used Xie Qian's words as evidence on this occasion, Xie Qian knew that in addition to the national scolding that lingered in his heart for a moment, he could probably only sigh: Yang Ting and you kid, not the Yang Tinghe back then.

At present, the heads of the Nanjing ministries at the coordination meeting are not easy to answer.

As the director of the nursing home, most of them no longer expect more in this life.

Some of them are the people below them who make their own decisions, and they can't be the masters of this - you don't have much real power yourself, what do you do with the people below?

Yes, it is because he has other thoughts - does His Majesty have the intention of abolishing the government offices of Nanjing to accompany the capital? If it is abolished, where will it go?

Yang Tinghe sighed: "It's just a routine Beijing inspection, why do you have to give birth to so many incidents?" I'm about to give up, and I hope you will let me relax for two years. ”

There was a period of speechless slander in the audience: Which important minister of the imperial court was the first governor of Yingtian before Zhishi?

When you come to Nanjing, you don't have a good heart!

Information is always asymmetrical, Yang Tinghe finally grasped the initiative after coming to Nanjing, looked into the eyes of the chief officials of the Nanjing Ministries, and said slowly: "Jingcha, the key is always to promote the loyal and virtuous. Your Majesty is working hard, even if there is the disturbance of Jingcha, how can the hundred officials in Nanjing have no intention of doing their work? ”

What do small fish and shrimp do, the impact is not big, and Nanjing does not have much power to really affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

The main target of Nanjing Jingcha has always been to have the right to "self-report" from the fourth rank and above the high-ranking officials, especially the second- and third-rank officials of the Nanjing Ministry.

As soon as the four words "promotion of loyalty" came out, loyalty was in the front and virtuous was in the back.

No one is stupid here.

Sure enough, it's a purge of dissidents!

However, it is not any courtier who is purging dissidents, it is the emperor who is purging dissidents!

Nanjing is no longer obstructing the new law! Who else is a dissident?

Xia Yan, the "party", was also present, and he was learning Yang Tinghe's words and strategies.

What is Chung?

Even if you don't know what the emperor wants to do, if you are obedient and obedient, you are loyal!

Now there are people at the bottom who delay the "ministry affairs" because of Jingcha, who has the face to complain to the capital, blame Jingcha?

Yang Tinghe first threw out the evidence that Liu Dong was "derelict in his duties" and went to Zhejiang to visit Xie Qian, and then put forward soul torture.

What's new in Jingcha? Is the Nanjing Kedao official outrageous?

Xia Yan said angrily: "The lower officials have repeatedly told the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate not to interfere with official business. The subordinate officials don't know where this attack and coercion comes from! ”

Nanjing's household department has rare real power among the Nanjing departments, and at this moment, the right servant replied strongly: "How many practical things do you have to do?" Now that almost every official of my household department has been asked by almost every official, who still has the truth? ”

Xia Yan smiled: "The total number of Nanjing Kedao officials can be counted. The visit slip was made by the Ministry of Rites, and the official of the Ministry of Rites consulted according to the list, that is, every official of the Ministry of Science and Dao asked about it, and how much time it took in total can be calculated. Twelve hours a day, how many hours are on duty? How many hours is there in a month? It turns out that without so much time, the Nanjing departments will not be able to do practical things? Do you want me to present your majesty? ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but look at him: Nanjing's officials have a lot of energy. Zhang Fujing started his head, Xia Yan, this kid is also so brave?

Jia Yong smiled bitterly: "Everyone, it is indeed difficult to decide during the Jingcha period. It's just a matter of Jingcha, and it's also a practice. There should be no less links. Now that this matter has come to your majesty, we can't relieve your worries, how can I bear it? It's better to go back and appease the subordinate officials and use things with peace of mind. ”

Yang Tinghe spread his hands: "There is no grievance, but I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and some newcomers in Nanjing occasionally complain." The household department is serious, and I am afraid that it will be delayed by Beijing. What do you think? ”

Nanjing's right waiter sank: Is that me a clown in vain?

He looked at his boss: Didn't you say that the crowd was full of affection, and all departments gathered in the Jing Servants?
