Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 299 Datou Wang, You Must Help Uncle Fu! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Datou Wang, you must help Master Fu! Otherwise, you will be ungrateful!"

"Datou Wang, your master is right. You must help me. This is not only the business of Uncle Fu, but also the business of Mr. Yang. Both Mr. Fu and Mr. Yang have helped you a lot!"

On this day, Li Zhongshan was discussing with Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Zhou Chang, and Yao Qisheng in the Shengqi Building of the Mochou Lake Prince's Mansion on how to set up a new local official system in Ming Dynasty. The voice, the whole person was taken aback, then turned to look out the window, but the yard was empty.

But Huang Zongxi, who was introducing to Li Zhongshan the "New System of Local Civil Officials" drafted by himself, Gu Yanwu, Zhou Chang, and Yao Qisheng, didn't hear anyone looking for Wang Datou outside at all, and was still shaking his head and talking.

".The local official system is more reasonable than the Han Dynasty's method. Local officials such as governors, county guards, state ministers, and county magistrates are not allowed to be local people, and must be directly appointed by the court.

The big officials such as Biejia, Zhizhong, Zhushu, Gongcao, and Duyou, etc., are served by local scholars, who can be elected by the localities, and the chief officials will be recruited.

The local officials are also officials, and they can also be promoted to prefectures, counties or even Zaifu.This method of appointing chief officials by the imperial court and appointing assistant officials by the local government is actually a way for the people of the country to discuss government affairs.

However, this dynasty has not only restored the ancient rules of the people's discussion of politics, but also went a step further by formulating the "original law" and various implementation rules for the people's discussion of politics. Therefore, this dynasty can completely improve the local official system on the basis of the Han system.For example, local civil officials can have three levels: governor, magistrate, and county magistrate. Below these three levels of chief officials, there are two deputies. Zhi, below the county magistrate is the magistrate of the left and right counties.

One of the two deputies under the three-level chief official is nominated by the chief official and appointed by the court. This deputy also needs to avoid his origin.The other person is elected by the local people's political council, and then the chief official submits it to the imperial court for appointment.There is no need to evade the country of origin for the deputy elected by the Chinese, and it can be taken by a local scholar.

As for officials at all levels below the local deputies, they can be appointed by the National People's Congress and the selection of chief and deputy officials. It is best to prevent the strange phenomenon of commoner masters participating in local governance.

In addition, starting from the second or third year of the Republic, we should also gradually improve the examination system for local officials and the system for promoting officials to chief officials.It is best to gradually form a system in which assistant officials must be tested, and chief officials must be promoted from assistant officials.In this way, the disadvantages of assistant officials not knowing grammar and chief officials not understanding government affairs can be avoided."

Not to mention, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu, who wrote "Mingyi Waiting for Visits" and "The World's Commandments and Countries' Benefits and Diseases Book", together with Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng, who are probably the number one and second masters in the world today The local new official system in China is much stronger than the systems that have been implemented for hundreds of years in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Or to be more precise, the system of the strong man and prosperous Tang Dynasty certainly has its merits!Compared with the later system that only sought to weaken the local wealthy families while ignoring administrative efficiency, it is of course much stronger.

What Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu have experienced is another era when local governance is almost ineffective. Of course, they will pay more attention to improving efficiency.And Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng were both born as masters, so they know how corrupt and incompetent those high-ranking officials are, and they also know how masters and officials below colluded to fool things.

Looking at the history books, although the local officials in the Han Dynasty were not very good people, compared with the local officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, at least they were quite capable!

Even the officials under the various Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty were not comparable to those masters and local officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

But now the world is in trouble, and the new Ming Dynasty is based on the people of the country, implementing a local governance model similar to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties in order to improve efficiency, which is a matter of course.

"Mmmm!"

When Huang Zongxi was talking vigorously, Li Zhongshan suddenly coughed. He looked up and found that Li Zhongshan was waving at him.

Huang Zongxi thought that he was dissatisfied with the new official system that he worked so hard to formulate, so he immediately became unhappy, his face darkened, and he frowned at Li Zhongshan.

"Mr. Lizhou, what you, Mr. Tinglin, Peigong, and Xizhi have decided is very much in line with my wishes!" Li Zhongshan said with a smile, "But now that we have distinguished guests coming, we can only discuss it later, and see the guests now. Bar!"

"Guest? Who is it?" Huang Zongxi asked.

Li Zhongshan smiled, then opened his throat and shouted: "Wang Quan, please come in with my master and Doctor Le!"

"Yes!"

Then the door of the courtyard of Shengqi Building creaked open, and Wang Quan, the commander-in-chief of the Shanzi Camp, pushed the door open and led two monks, one thin and one fat, into the room.

Among them, the skinny monk is Li Zhongshan's mentor, Duolong!

Duolong used to be a fat man, but now he is so thin that he lost his shape, but he is in good spirits, as if he has some incurable disease.

And that fat monk is married to Yang Xiaohuan and her mother, Jin Yuhuan. Old man Le is having a good life, everyone is getting fat!

Li Zhongshan did not dare to be negligent - he is the principal himself now, and as a teacher, of course he must pay special attention to respecting teachers.That's why he stopped discussing, and led Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Zhou Chang and Yao Qisheng out to welcome them.He also cheerfully gave Duolong a thousand salutes: "The big head greets Master. Master, have you lost weight? It's better to be thinner, and you look energetic."

Duolong glared at Li Zhongshan, with a look of grievance on his face: "How can you not lose weight? Dismissed from office and ransacked house, all the officials talk about death, and put him in a prison waiting to be beheaded. Anyone else will lose weight!"

It turns out that Duolong has suffered a great crime these days!
As the governor of Liangjiang, he is the local guard, and he has the responsibility to guard the land!

As a result, he lost Jiangning City, and was defeated by Geng Jingzhong in Taiping Mansion, and fled to Zhenjiang in embarrassment.After arriving in Zhenjiang, he was dismissed from his post, but he was not arrested immediately. Instead, he and Er Chu were asked to commit crimes and meritorious deeds together.

But when Yue Le ran from Huguang to Zhenjiang, Duolong and Echu were immediately arrested and imprisoned, and they were escorted back to Beijing.Since most of Duolong's floating wealth was in Jiangning, all of it was divided up by the third prince Zhu and Lu Sanhao, so after he was arrested in Beijing, he couldn't even pay for his life, so he had to squat in the prison of Shangfangyuan.

At the end of the day, he and Er Chu decided on an "Autumn Judgment", that is, the autumn queen asked to cut!

After autumn last year, Echu went to the vegetable market on a business trip, and when it was over, he hugged Duolong and cried!

After beheading Echu, I will be beheading Duolong, but for some reason, I have not beheaded him, but I have not let him go, and I have not told him not to be beheaded. I just "wait to be beheaded". The wait until the beginning of December last year Eighth, he was released to live on the street - his home in Beijing was confiscated a long time ago, and all his family members were exiled to Ningguta, and he is alone in Beijing, not to mention unaccompanied, that is also a slanderous proposition .

Although he still saved several 10 taels of silver in Ruixintang, he didn't dare to withdraw it, so he had to endure hunger and begged for a few days of food in the outer city of Beijing. In the end, he was found for several days Miracle Doctor Le found it from Caishikou!

He is begging at Caishikou!
Take a look at the place where he begs for food. This city entrance is really not suitable for begging!

After being found by the blessed Doctor Le, he found out that it was Yang Qilong's sister Yang Xiaomi, that Nala Lan'er who had been blowing wind in Fuquan's ear to keep him "waiting to be beheaded".And the reason why he was released was because Yang Qilong found him a good job as an envoy to Nanming to contact the big head.

Originally, Yang Qilong also arranged for Miracle Doctor Le, who was on a mission with him, to wait for someone outside Shangfang Hospital, but Miracle Le was blinded and didn't recognize Duolong who had lost more than a hundred catties.

So Duolong could only beg for food, and almost starved to death at the entrance of the vegetable market with a few 10 taels of deposit.
After being found by Doctor Le, Duolong shaved his head and pretended to be a monk. He went all the way south to Nanjing to find Datou Wang, but when he arrived in Xuzhou, he heard that there was a fight in Nanjing!This king beheaded that king, and that king beat this king, as if he wanted to kill each other and die.

So Doctor Le and Duolong waited for a while, until the news that the Third Prince Zhu ascended the throne and Wang Datou took the post of Great General as Minister of Records reached Xuzhou.It was only then that I started to go south again, and I just arrived in Nanjing yesterday, and I was so sad again!

I was so sad that I read poems, and there came a sentence on the spot, "The carved railings and jade bricks are still there, I don't know where my little wife is?"

Then Duolong spent another night in the hotel sad, and only found the Yingwang Mansion in Mochou Lake early this morning.

The commander-in-chief of the Shanzi Battalion (still a battalion, but the commander-in-chief was given the rank of commander-in-chief) who was in charge of guarding the palace of King Ying, Wang Quan knew him and Doctor Le, so he led them into the palace and let them sit outside the Shengqi Building. Wait for a while——General Li now has a high position and authority, and he has a lot of opportunities every day, so it's not easy to see him.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Duolong suddenly exploded again, and shouted loudly outside the Shengqi Building.It seems that this guy's mental capacity is not good enough!After experiencing such setbacks as family ruin, loss of office, resignation, and death sentence, this mood is quite unstable.

However, Li Zhongshan is so powerful that he can't be more arrogant with his master!

So I greeted him with a smile, even if I was complained, I didn't get angry, and I took Duolong's hand and introduced him to the people on my side.

"Master, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Lizhou, the original author of Huang Lizhou's Tianzi No. [-] anti-book "The World is Public" is him, this is a great Confucianism!"

Duo Long has stabilized his emotions, and hastened to bow his hands to the big villain Huang Zongxi: "I have long admired and admired Mr. Duo for his anti-name, but it is a pity that we have not been able to meet each other. It is a pity!"

Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "If we meet the Duozhi army sooner, Huang will die!"

"Master, this is Mr. Tinglin Gu Tinglin. "Rizhilu" and "Tianxia Junguoli Disease Book" are his masterpieces. When it was released in the Qing Dynasty, these two books were enough to be anti-books! However, Mr. Tinglin is a great Confucian, so it is relatively deep, and most people can't understand it."

"Long-awaited, long-awaited." Duo Long did not read those two books, but he had heard of Gu Tinglin's name.

"Master, this is Zhou Peigong, you know him, Tuhai's master."

"Pei Gong, Tu Hai has been rehabilitated now," Duo Long said to Zhou Chang, "Oboi has also been rehabilitated. It's a pity that both of them are gone!"

"It's a pity," Zhou Chang nodded repeatedly, "If Tutang is still there, Zhou wants to compete with him on the battlefield!"

"Master, this is Yao Xizhi. He is not a man of the world! None of the Han civil servants appointed by the Qing Dynasty can compare with him in governing the country with soldiers!"

"Oh, oh, what a pity. A great talent like Mr. Yao was almost buried." Duo Long looked at the elderly Yao Qisheng, and felt bad that this talent had all gone to work under Li Datou?

This Qing Dynasty is about to end!
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Zhongshan and the others returned to the Shengqi Building, where the guests and hosts were seated in the living room below, and then began to talk about business.

"General, the old man came south with the Duozhi army this time, in fact, to serve as a lobbyist for Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu has been kind to you! He is your sponsor, and now you are anti-Qing and restored Ming. It’s the Lord’s favor, if you can help, you still have to help.”

Because Doctor Le married Yang Xiaohuan's mother, he and Li Zhongshan are also considered relatives, and he and Li Zhongshan have a long-term friendship, and the relationship is quite strong-the two of them did bad things together in Suzhou, killing people and deceiving the king. So now I can really talk.

He went on to say: "Moreover, Sange Yang and Uncle Fu are now one. If you help Uncle Fu, you are helping Uncle Yang. That's right. The son born by Xiao Mi and Uncle Fu is also your nephew. He will be a nephew in the future." Prince! Can you help me with this favor?"

"Help, help, must help!" Li Zhongshan had nothing to say about helping Fuquan and Yang Qilong.

After all, he can't afford to take the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to govern a country. It is much more difficult to rectify the interior than to destroy the dead on the battlefield!
In history, a stalwart like Zhu Yuanzhang also spent a lot of time governing the Huaixi and Jiangdong territories, and he also had to flatten all the anti-Yuan forces in the south. After roughly unifying the south, he sent his army to the north.

And that Liu Yu, who was as angry as a tiger, had impeccable military ability and was invincible during the Northern Expedition, but because of the instability in the rear, he had to withdraw his troops and return after the death of Liu Mu, who was sitting in the southeast, so that the success fell short.

Therefore, Li Zhongshan would rather seek stability now, first get the local governance of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces settled, and then open up communication with Guangdong, and then win Geng Jingzhong and Jieshu, unify the southeast, and then it is Huguang’s turn to go north to the Central Plains, That will have to wait until Huguang is taken down.

As for the present, it is better to maintain a "Fuqing" court that I can get along with, than to preserve a "Kangqing" court that will definitely cause trouble for me, right?

However, Li Zhongshan is indeed a bit unable to make a move now.

After conquering Anqing, Ming's next goal was naturally southern Anhui and Jiangxi.

After all, Li Zhongshan and Li Fuchen had to open up a land line of communication with Guangdong!
Otherwise, Guangdong and Guangxi have been left alone, and Li Jizhen and Wu Xiaotu are still in "Tongzhi". God knows what will happen after a long time?
But Fuquan had to help... It's really embarrassing!

"Big head, how are you going to help?" Duo Long also knew Li Zhongshan's situation, so he asked, "How many troops can you send north now?"

"I can't send them out." Li Zhongshan didn't hide anything from Duolong, "Unless Jieshu can be withdrawn from Jiangxi."

"That's impossible!" Duolong was also straightforward, "Jieshu doesn't listen to the regent now!"

Prince Kang Jieshu must not listen to Duolong, because he is surrounded by Wu Guogui, Li Zicheng, Li Zhongshan, and Li Fuchen!

If these people beat him together, then he will lose even the slightest chance of survival!
So he can only keep peace with one of them, and Li Zicheng, Li Zhongshan, and Li Fuchen will not let him go.The only person he could contact was Wu Guogui's adoptive father, Wu Sangui!
And Wu Sangui and Kangxi became a group again, so Jieshu can only be commensurate with Kangxi's successor.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to hand over Jiangxi. Without Jiangxi, where can he go?

"Master, don't worry, students, I can do what I say." Li Zhongshan said to Duolong with a smile, "How can students look at Uncle Fu's misfortune? In fact, if you don't come to Nanjing, students should help Uncle Fu." ...and the students have already helped!"

"Already helped?" Duolong was stunned for a while, "How did you help?"

Li Zhongshan said with a smile: "Which family does not have fathers who are kind and sons filial, and brothers and brothers who are respectful? Uncle Fu and Kangxi were such good brothers back then, and now they have turned against each other? The brotherhood of the two in Wu Sangui's family is nothing like that. It's too bad, they don't see each other very often!

Moreover, Wu Sangui has always raised Wu Yingqi as his son... Most of the Shaanxi people in Wu's army support Wu Yingqi.And the student just has a friendship with Wu Yingxiong... How do you think I can help? "
