Either plant or die, so that a fool would not choose C, and all the Jurchen captives immediately picked up their hoes and began to plow the land.

But they were accustomed to riding horses and holding knives, and they were indeed very unfamiliar with the hoe at this time, and they were sweating profusely, and they were still much slower than the guards on the nearby farmland.

The guards sent some men to teach the Jurchens how to farm. The Jurchens were amazed, learning and communicating at the same time.

"Aren't you soldiers? You know how to use swords and guns, and you are a soldier, how can you farm? ”

The guards said embarrassedly: "Our guards of the Ming Dynasty are like this, serving the people in their spare time and being soldiers in wartime, which is called the tuntian system." ”

A tall and sturdy Jurchen man's eyes lit up: "This is really a good system!" If we Jurchens had known about such a system, perhaps it would have been revived long ago! ”

The guards were speechless, what kind of good system is this, soldiers are not like soldiers, and the people are not like people. But the Jurchen was very serious and praised again and again.

"If I can be in power in the future, I must carry forward this miraculous system. Well, if we Jurchens are organized into several brigades, farming in our spare time, and going into battle in wartime, we must be invincible! ”

The officer of the Ming army guarding them smiled and said, "You just thought of it, the imperial court has thought of it a long time ago." The cabinet Xiao wrote a proposal to unify the military and civilians outside the Guan, whether Jurchen, Mongol or Han, into eight guards.

Farming in peacetime, serving in the army in wartime, living in mixed places, intermarrying with each other. Expand the territory and serve the country.

The Ming Dynasty will not divide people into hierarchies like the Yuan Dynasty, everyone is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and enjoys the same court policies.

How about it, since you have been captured, let's farm well, as long as you behave well, serve the imperial court like the three guards of Jianzhou, and ride a war horse, there is a chance! ”

The Jurchen snorted and expressed disdain: "This time you relied on the musket to be powerful, and you just took us by surprise."

If there is a war, you are no match for our Jurchen warriors. Even the Mongols are just relying on the strength of the crowd, and if they really want to fight with the same forces, we Jurchens are the best in the world! ”

"Who said that, stand up and let me see what the number one warrior in the world looks like?"

Everyone was shocked, Xiao Feng rode by with the three hundred musketeers, heard someone say this, and led the musketeers to stop.

The Jurchen was also angry, and said loudly: "You are powerful with a musket and attacked us secretly, you are not a hero!" ”

Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "The musket was ordered to be used by me, it is a heart of compassion, you are so ignorant!" ”

The Jurchens were furious: "You beat us with muskets, and what kind of compassion do you say, isn't this farting?" ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "In the small group of enemies, let you Jurchens see the power of the musket as soon as possible, and avoid regenerating the heart of delusion."

You don't want to think about it, if it really comes to the point where the situation is really the same as the fire, and the two sides are fighting with tens of thousands of horses and horses, and we are all armed with muskets, won't you want to exterminate the race? ”

The Jurchen was speechless and speechless, because what Xiao Feng said was indeed the truth. He didn't know that Xiao Feng was just bragging.

The technical and scientific examinations have not yet begun, and there are not enough high-level craftsmen in the WTO entry concept, and these 300 new-style muskets are already all the family foundation of the WTO entry concept at present.

But let Xiao Feng say this, it was as if Da Ming already had tens of thousands of new muskets, if this was the case, it was really useless.

Seeing that the Jurchens were dejected, but still unconvinced, Xiao Feng knew that he had to be punished today to ensure that these Jurchens honestly obeyed the arrangement.

Immediately threw the musket to his subordinates, pulled out the embroidered spring knife and shouted: "Give him a horse, a knife, I will be one-on-one with him today, let him see the strength of the Ming soldiers!" ”

The Jurchen looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, this guy is in green clothes and white robes, the army is not the army, the people are not the people, the monks are not monks, and the Tao is not Taoist. It's not short, but it's not stout.

Is he blind and can't see that he is so tall and mighty, full of flesh? I should be able to cut him down with a single sword!

It's just that this guy doesn't seem to have a low status, and he really hacked him to death with one sword, and this group of Ming soldiers will probably kill themselves on the spot without talking about martial arts.

So he shook his head: "I won't fight you, you're too thin, you find a big one to fight me!" ”

Xiao Feng was about to speak, when the officer of the Ming army who was guarding walked out and threw his hand at Xiao Feng.

"My lord, kill chickens with a knife, and be willing to fight!"

Xiao Feng looked at him and said with a smile: "This battle is related to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, you have to think about it well, don't be reckless." ”

The man nodded firmly, and when he saw that Xiao Feng agreed, he immediately turned over and pulled out the steel knife. The Jurchen also picked up a knife and got on the horse, and the two faced each other from a distance.

Xiao Feng said loudly: "The two of you compete in martial arts, fair and just, regardless of death or injury, the Jurchens win, and they can be free." If you lose, you have to swear allegiance to the Ming!

If you agree, you can fight, if you don't want to, it's too late to stop! ”

The atmosphere is here, and no one is embarrassed to disagree. The Jurchens are a nation on horseback, and when they got on the horse, their momentum immediately increased by ten points, and the murderous aura of their whole body suddenly exuded.

The Jurchen captives immediately clamored and shouted for their warriors.

The officer of the Ming army, although not so fierce in momentum, was not afraid, and was as calm as a rock. The Ming army also shouted and cheered for their comrades.

The two sides slapped their horses and rushed to each other, slashing each other, the Jurchen was so powerful that they slashed down, and the Ming army officer slashed his knife with both hands, blocking this blow, and suddenly sparks splashed.

The two sides slashed without any fancy slashing, and soon there were scars on their bodies, and the Jurchen was full of blood, roared, and also slashed his knife with both hands, only attacking but not defending.

After all, his strength was slightly better than that Ming army officer, and under the slash of his hands and knives, the Ming soldier's knife was split! He laughed wildly and raised his knife to slash again!

The officer of the Ming army was in danger, shook his feet, got out of the stirrups, pounced, hugged the Jurchen by the waist, and dragged him to the ground.

The Jurchens' knives also crashed into the air, and the two rolled on the ground in hand-to-hand combat, the two of them fisted to the flesh, their faces were covered with blood, and everyone around them was terrified.

This fight is different from cutting each other immediately, the Ming army officer's fist and foot kung fu is obviously superior, I don't know how long the fight lasts, and finally the two separated, and they both staggered to their feet.

The Jurchen shook a few times and fell to the ground. The Jurchens around them were all dejected, and the Jurchens struggled to get up and fell to their knees on one knee.

"I obeyed the rules, I was defeated, and from then on I was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. But I was defeated at the hands of this warrior, and I wish I could be his servant! ”

Xiao Feng jumped off the horse, walked up to the Ming army officer, and patted him on the shoulder: "Very good, what's your name?" ”

The officer wiped the blood from his face, and the national character face was ruthless and calm, as if he was not the person who fought for life and death just now.

"Inferior Shanhaiguan Garrison Liupin Military Academy, Li Chengliang."

Xiao Feng's eyelids jumped: "Okay, in the future, this Jurchen captives will be incorporated into the branch led by you." But I have a request for you.

These Jurchens will wear Ming costumes and learn to plow the land from now on. In a few days, there will be a school here, and they will also learn the cultural etiquette of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Li Chengliang was stunned: "My lord, the school is for dolls, there is not even a woman here, let alone dolls, what is the use of opening the school?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "Women like a stable and prosperous life, where there is stability and abundance, there will be no shortage of women everywhere."

If you have a woman, you have a home, and if you have a home, you have a doll. If you can make this land stable and rich, I will guarantee that you will not lack women here. ”

Li Chengliang nodded silently: "The words of the adults are understandable." In fact, the so-called nomadic people are not what people want. Human nature is the same, there is a stable and prosperous life, who wants to eat and sleep in the open? ”

Xiao Feng turned over and got on his horse: "Musket, I'll leave it for you, there must be more Jurchens and even Mongols to take revenge." You're scared of them!

From today on, you are the commander of the five products of the Ming Dynasty, and this newly reclaimed land is under your protection and control! If you make another great contribution, I will be promoted to your official again!

But you have to remember one thing, I didn't ask you to slaughter the Jurchens, whether it was the Jurchens or the Mongols, you had to use both grace and power, and attack the heart.

The Ming Dynasty cannot be the king of the Great Wall, the land outside the gate is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people outside the gate are also the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Li Chengliang gave up his hand to send Xiao Feng away, and his subordinates came to congratulate him, Li Chengliang looked at the opponent who knelt down on one knee in front of him, and the farmers who worked hard, and he was full of pride.

"Please rest assured, my lordship, I will live up to my trust, turn the land of Kanto into the fertile soil of the Ming Dynasty, and let the people of the Kanto region be the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

It's getting drier and drier.

The land that has not been moistened for a long time is like Princess Chang'an, who has not seen Xiao Feng for many days, and it is extremely violent...... Dry.

Especially when she heard that Xiao Feng had just returned to the capital and was called by Jiajing to have a small meeting, she suddenly broke out, and took the painting to Xiyuan and ran to Xiyuan to ask for someone.

Unexpectedly, I was startled as soon as I arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, and the courtyard was full of ministers, all of whom were civil servants. There isn't even a place for a pin.

Chang An was like playing a game of squid, and was helped by the painting to jump over the ministers who were full of courtyards and came to the house.

Then I found that there were several kneeling in the house, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others were kneeling.

There were only three people standing in the room, one was Huang Jin, one was Lu Bing, and the other was Xiao Feng. Jiajing sat with a dark face and a sinking face.

Chang An originally thought about taking Xiao Feng away with coquettishness, but when he saw the current situation, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, and immediately changed his tactics.

"I heard that my father has been anxious about the major events of the court recently, and my daughter can't rest assured, so she came to visit her father, but I didn't expect so many adults to be there.

Father has to take care of his body, no matter how big it is, it is not as important as his father's body! ”

Jiajing's expression was a little gentle, he looked at his daughter lovingly, and snorted: "It's still Chang'an sensible, unlike some people, you have to force me to death to feel at ease!" ”

Xu Jie knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Long live this, there is no place for hundreds of officials to be buried!" The ministers just wanted to ask the Heavenly Master to ask for rain, how could they have such a rebellious heart? ”

Chang An was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Feng, who smiled helplessly. As soon as he entered Beijing, he was summoned to Xiyuan, and then he faced such a situation.

The first assistant of the cabinet, led all the cabinet ministers and hundreds of officials, on the grounds of the great drought in the world, asked Jiajing to issue a decree and asked the Taoist real people to pray for rain.

Not all officials participated in the petition, such as Ding Rukui, Liu Tong, Pan Huang and others, but they did not dare to object.

Because of the great drought in the world, hundreds of officials ask long live to pray for rain, this is a very routine and standard operation, who dares to object, that is the public enemy of the people!

Chang An blinked his eyes and asked Xiao Feng silently with his eyes: "Pray for rain, pray for rain, why are you so tense?" ”

Xiao Feng also blinked his eyes and replied to her silently: "You know a fart, hurry up and hide back to the princess's mansion, there will be a sword and sword shadow here, don't break your blood." ”

Chang An understood, slapped Jiajing's shoulder, weakly held the hand into the painting and walked out of the house, out of the West Garden, and ran back to the princess's mansion with a smoke.

With Chang An's age and experience, it is indeed difficult to understand the situation faced by Jiajing at this time, and it is also difficult to understand the cleverness of Xu Jie's hand.

Xu Jie, as the leader of the scholars at this time, was naturally against Jiajing's cultivation, but Jiajing had already proved with countless butts that whoever dared to oppose his cultivation would not work as opposed to his ancestors entering the Taimiao.

So Xu Jie thought of such a trick. Don't you believe, well, we will follow you! Now that there is a great drought in the world, we firmly believe that Taoism can pray for rain and save the Ming people.

Hooray, you've been worshipping the Daomen for so long, it's time for them to perform real techniques. Take two steps, have the ability to come out and take two steps!

What? They don't dare? And what do you believe them do? This shows that they are all a bunch of liars who eat and drink and have a reputation! You won't be embarrassed to trust them anymore!

What, you don't want to decree? Long live we believe in you, and we believe in the Daomen you believe, if you don't have faith in the Daomen, then it's too much to say.

This trick is called pushing the boat along the river, and it is also called borrowing strength to fight, compared to those ministers who sacrifice their butts and even have their heads against Jiajing, I don't know how much smarter.

Now that Jiajing has been put on the fire, he is indeed a little difficult to ride a tiger.

With his IQ, of course, he could see the true intentions of these bastards, but he couldn't go crazy, and he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Because these guys quote scriptures and occupy the moral high ground. If the drought is like this, as the Son of Heaven, he will definitely be inseparable. They didn't force Jiajing to make an edict against themselves, and they were already very face-saving.

This is the power of etiquette! Although Jiajing played a hooligan during the Great Rites Discussion, after all, he was also reasonable, and it was reasonable to use strong words.

But now in the face of this group of completely reasonable readers, even the emperor is helpless, after all, he doesn't want to be a faint monarch who has been stinking for thousands of years.

Besides, what if the prayer for rain is successful? I will become a saint of the ages, and I will prove to the world that I believe in the Tao and worship the Tao is absolutely wise and correct!

"Senior brother, what should you do about this matter?"

Xiao Feng's eyes looked at Xu Jie and the others, but Xu Jie didn't look at Xiao Feng at all, but just faced Jiajing seriously. Gao Gong had a high attitude of seconding the proposal, and he didn't look at Xiao Feng.

Only Zhang Juzheng secretly aimed at Xiao Feng, but as soon as the two made eye contact, Zhang Juzheng avoided it with a weak heart.

Xiao Feng knew that no matter what, Senior Brother's pot, he had to carry it himself, who made himself the first person in the Daomen?

Besides, you don't even want to carry your brother's pot, can you still expect you to fly up with your brother in the future?

"Senior brother, what you have said is also reasonable. The senior brother issued an edict to the disciples of the Taoist sect in the world, so that everyone could show their abilities and ask for rain from the heavens.

If it works, of course, it is the best, and if it doesn't, it is nothing more than a waste of energy. There are many days, manpower is difficult to violate, just do your best. ”

Jiajing nodded, the junior brother found a step, he had to hurry down, just as he spoke, Xu Jie suddenly spoke first.

"Long live, if the imperial court gives an edict, I don't know if those true humanists will act according to the order, and the people of the world don't know if the imperial court has done its best.

Daomen praying for rain, this is a long live worry about the country and the people, and it is good to let the people of the world know. In this way, whether it succeeds or not, the people can know that Banzai cares for them.

In the year of the catastrophe, it is very important to appease people's hearts, so the minister suggested that the real people of the Daomen from all over the country should gather at the Temple of Heaven and perform their own divine channel methods to pray for rain for the Ming Dynasty! Summoning the world to reassure the people! ”

Xiao Feng's heart sank, and he looked at Xu Jie's eyes with a hint of annoyance and disappointment.

Xu Jie's approach is very extreme, he asked all the real people of the Daomen to come to the capital, like the last Daoist Conference, live broadcast to the people of the capital, which can make the people of the Daomen embarrassed in public.

This is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, in terms of intelligence alone, compared to Yan Shifan, it is not inferior at all.

Xu Jie didn't pray for rain at all, and he knew that he couldn't pray for rain by relying on those Taoist priests.

But in this way, the Daomen will plummet in the minds of the people, and Jiajing will lose face, this is the first bird.

Jiajing is a person who wants to save face, but he can't spread his anger on these scholars who occupy the high ground of morality and etiquette, after all, there is a great drought in the world, and it is extremely politically correct for hundreds of officials to ask the court to pray for rain.

Therefore, Jiajing will spread his anger on those Taoist priests and real people who have not worked, even if he does not turn his face on the spot, he will feel that these people are all liars, and his heart of Taoism will inevitably fade. This is the second bird.

Losing the trust of the emperor and the worship of the people, the Daomen will inevitably decline, but these two birds are just birds flying in the sky.

The fattest and largest bird was actually Xiao Feng squatting on the tree.

Xiao Feng is the first person in the Daomen, and Jiajing's trust in the Daomen has weakened, so naturally his trust in Xiao Feng will also fade.

Feelings are based on trust, if trust fades, Jiajing's feelings for Xiao Feng will naturally fade, and from then on, Jiajing will alienate Xiao Feng and have to rely on the civil officials headed by Xu Jie.

This hidden hand of the gods is similar to Xiao Feng's original use of harem mature women to reverse Jiajing's underage perverted taste, and its purpose is to isolate the perverted resonance of Jiajing and Yan Shifan.

Feeling Xiao Feng's gaze on his back, Xu Jie finally turned his head and faced Xiao Feng with a smile, with the same humility as when Xu seconded the proposal before.

"Lord Xiao, as the second assistant of the cabinet, a true person of the Daomen, no matter what position he takes, he will never disagree with the suggestions of the hundred officials, right?"
