Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 186
While reporting the great victory, use the spread of the Taiping business system.

Let the people of Ming Dynasty know about this great victory, Jiannu has always been a disaster for the people of Liaodong, and the people in the pass are not deeply touched.

But the Tartars have fought countless battles since the founding of the country, and the people in the north have no relatives who have been harmed by the Tartars, and they all have deep-rooted hatred.

When the people in the north learned that Zhang Zongxian led troops to completely wipe out Meng Yuan, they all praised Zhang Zongxian as the star of martial arts, and the investigation department also used this shareholder to continuously spread Zhang Zongxian's policies in Qingjian County.

This made the common people recognize Zhang Zongxian even more, and proud of it, more and more common people immigrated outside the border wall.

Even the people in the south praised Zhang Zongxian as a rare good official after hearing about Zhang Zongxian's deeds.

But among the scholars, Zhang Zongxian's reputation was as bad as ever. In their view, a prison student who received donations would be fine, and they would be able to destroy Meng Yuan as well.

Although he didn't dare to slander on the surface, he kept making up Zhang Zongxian's jokes in private, saying that Zhang Zongxian was illiterate, so he killed the general by mistake, saying that Zhang Zongxian knelt and licked Wei Zhongxian, and that he was Wei Zhongxian's illegitimate son.

The purpose of all kinds of arrangements is to tarnish Zhang Zongxian's reputation.

When there was a lot of discussion, Zhang Zongxian said that the battle to destroy Mengyuan was extremely tragic, not only the soldiers of the Xuanfu suffered heavy casualties, but also the newly built military households outside the side wall.

He doesn't want any rewards, but only asks Tianqi to exempt the land outside the border wall from taxes for the newly recovered land for ten years, so that the military households outside the border wall can recuperate.

The cabinet is naturally happy to facilitate this matter, and you don't want to reward it, so it will be approved by the apocalypse immediately.

The reports Tian Qi received were all written by the investigation department, and they were written extremely tragically. All the frontier generals in Xuanfu wrote that they were brave and fearless. play.

The investigation department also deliberately exaggerated the casualties of Zhang Zongxian's disciples, saying that ten out of ten did not save one.

The nature report also mentioned Zhang Zongxian's health, saying that he worked day and night, often dealt with official duties late at night, his hair turned gray a lot, and he coughed up blood when he was overworked.

Every time I read the apocalypse of the battle report, I have to sigh that such a loyal and brave minister is really a blessing to Ming Dynasty.

The performance was made publicly, for the cabinet to see, and Zhang Zongxian's special performance for Tianqi, which was presented by Wei Zhongxian himself to Tianqi.

Zhang Zongxian wrote in the solo:

At the beginning, he criticized himself for not doing things well, and did not clear up the Xuanfu's military fields, and then said that eliminating Jiannu was as important as sealing the snow demon, and Jiannu would not be able to attack Shenyang at this moment.

The spearhead has been turned to North Korea. Letting them massacre the people in North Korea will also open the door to the devil world. For this reason, Jiannu should be eradicated as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Jiannu didn't realize this, he just plundered in North Korea, and didn't do too much massacre.In order to rescue North Korea as soon as possible and organize slavery to further occupy North Korea,

It's just that the army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and soldiers need to be recruited and trained again. Moreover, to rescue North Korea, a strong navy is necessary. I hope Tianqi can give him time to recruit and train sailors.
The Navy wants to develop in Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Jiaozhou. There are many good ports here, and the local people are also good at sailing. It is also the most convenient to start from here to support North Korea.

After all parties are ready, save North Korea first, and then go forward by water to completely eliminate Jiannu. He is willing to issue a military order and give him three years to pacify Liaodong within three years.

As for military expenses, if Tianqi gave him the right to freely carry out maritime trade, during the three-year Ping Liao period, Zhang Zongxian could not have a tael of silver from the court,
On Hamiwei's side, the Eastern Chahatai Khan had a serious internal struggle, which could be resolved by sending his disciples. As for Fuyuwei, Duoyanwei, and Tainingwei, they could recover by the way while eliminating Jiannu.

After watching Zhang Zongxian's solo, Tianqi already had a solid foundation in his mind. The Crystal Palace had almost enough money, but Tianqi still wanted to build a crystal tower. He had only seen portraits of the glazed pagoda in Nanzhili.

I want to build one in Beijing as well to celebrate the eradication of Meng Yuan, and put all the captured gold and silver Buddhas in it.

If Zhang Zongxian can really save Liao Xiang, he will have the money to build the pagoda, and the three main halls should be repaired, and it will cost a lot of money. Saving Liao Xiang is just enough.

It just so happened that the cabinet also agreed with Zhang Zongxian to go to Liaodong, but the benefits of maritime trade are so great that Liaodong's military salary alone must not be spent.
Shortly after the Taimiao Grand Sacrifice, the cabinet proposed to transfer Zhang Zongxian to the governor of Jiliao, Jizhi Shuntian, Baoding, Liaodong Sanfu, Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong, Baoding four towns.

After being rejected by Tianqi, the cabinet was also not sure what Tianqi was going to do for a while. It was really impossible for him to join the cabinet, just when the cabinet ministers tried to prevent Zhang Zongxian from joining the cabinet.

The apocalypse decreed that Zhang Zongxian was crowned as the grand master, and Yin Qizi went to the Imperial College to study, and was granted the experience of the governor's office of the left army and the governor's office of the rear army.

Appoint Liangchen as the commander-in-chief of the newly established Hexi Town (Gansu, Ningxia, and Guyuan towns merged), and Boren as the commander-in-chief of the newly established Guihua Town.

Such kindness made those scholars jealous, and made up more jokes about Zhang Zongxian, saying that he never had a regular wife because he was divorced, and that he had married a regular wife because he was so angry that he hanged himself.

Mr. Ma intends to prevent the spread of these rumors, but they are all spread by scholars, so he can't use any means, he can only spend money to hire people to scold him.

The Donglin cabinet also kept spreading public opinion, asking Zhang Zongxian to go to Liaodong, and spreading all kinds of strange rumors, saying that Zhang Zongxian was afraid to go and wait, and they wanted to force him to go to Liaodong.

Zhang Zongxian also took advantage of public opinion to invite himself to Liaodong to pacify Jiannu.So under much anticipation.

Apocalypse officially appointed Zhang Zongxian as governor of Jiliao, concurrently serving as right deputy capital censor, supervisor of Jiliao, and governor of Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Jiaozhou military administration.Zhang Zongxian was also authorized to offset military expenses with profits from maritime trade.

In private, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian to ask Zhang Zongxian for 200 million taels of silver every year to supplement his internal funds.

After Zhang Zongxian got the appointment, he was not in a hurry to take up the post, but started to make arrangements after he left. In addition to arranging his own people in place,
He also told Liang Chengyuan, who was in charge of the civil affairs of Guihua City, to repair the railways from Guihua City to Zhangjiakou, Zhangjiakou to Quanning, and Quanning to Shenyang within three years. .

Then Hu Zhongxing was sent to take over the railway association and began to prepare for the construction of railways from Xi'an to Kaifeng, Kaifeng to Jinan, and Jinan to Dengzhou.

First start the construction of the railway in Shaanxi, and issue stocks while building.

Zhao's staff is responsible for dealing with the local government, even if they give up some more benefits, they have to start working first, but for the local officials, they only give shares and no cash, even if the other party wants a site, they can discuss it.

This road must be repaired within four years. If there are any local people who do not appreciate it, please contact Ma Shiye in the capital to fix it. Taiping's loan is unlimited credit for this railway, and of course the necessary supervision must keep up.
