Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

When the generals heard this, they burst into laughter.

Amid the laughter, only Zhang Shifu was a little uncomfortable, and said coyly, "My lord, I won't take up my post in Dengzhou... It's good to be in Jinan City."

"Brother Shifu is talking nonsense!"

Zhang Shouren chuckled, pressed Zhang Shifu who was about to get up, and said in a very sincere tone: "I've been busy for a while, and I haven't talked to you. In fact, the emperor's hand is nothing more than trying to help you and make me empty. As a matter of fact, no matter who is the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, he can't cover the sky with one hand, but in terms of your loyalty to me, brother Shifu, I trust you in terms of character."

Zhang Shifu's eyes were red, and he replied: "My lord has said this, I am relieved."

However, Sun Liangdong said: "There is no general army in Huai'an, and I can be regarded as covering the sky when I go. With my temperament, I will definitely make mistakes if I don't restrain myself. So before this, I thought that my lord must send me a governor to supervise the army. , the town governor and the executive committee, even if I make a mistake, it won’t be wrong.”

Everyone nodded with a smile on their faces. They are all military generals, so it's good to talk... But Zhang Shouren is still a little embarrassed. These brothers are all confidantes who can defend him from arrows on the battlefield. Brothers and feet are generally better than relatives Brothers who are still close, but for the sake of future development plans and to maintain a benign and positive atmosphere for the group, there are some things that have to be done if they are not done.

He nodded to Sun Liangdong and said with a smile: "I have my own arrangements for Huaiyang. After you go, wait for my military order."

"Yes, my lord!"

"As for Qurui's Baoding Commander-in-Chief, tell him to give a speech, and say he has a foot problem."

Seeing that everyone was stunned and silent, Zhang Shouren said with a smile: "I'm not trying to suppress Qu Rui, I'm planning to ask him to guard Yanzhou. There are many aristocratic families over there, and Zhu Wangli will be agitated for a while, and there needs to be someone who can calm people's hearts and stabilize the place. Qu Rui, I don't want to send anyone else. Besides, Baoding is close to the capital, and once the Eastern captives invaded, they would go straight to Baoding and other places. I don't want my people to take the thunder for others."

Zhang Shouren looked sternly, looking into the distance, outside the pass, in Songshan, in Jinzhou, an unprecedented war was about to start in summer and autumn, this was actually the most painful place in his heart, but the current Daming, he couldn’t save it, he couldn’t care about it, It's better to just sit back and watch him die!

At the last moment, he made up his mind and said to everyone: "Shandong, Linqing, Dezhou, Jinan, Yanzhou...Qing, Lai, and Deng are all owned by us. If we manage well and have 20 people, we will be the best!" When we really intervene, before that, even if Beijing is destroyed, Shandong Town will never send troops, gentlemen, do you remember what we said tonight?"

"Everything is up to the adults."

Zhang Shifu said peacefully: "My wealth and life have long been entrusted to the lord. If the lord is honored, we will be honored, and if the lord is humiliated, we will be humiliated. Even if the lord wants to rebel, we will follow."

In the silence, although many of the generals were sweating on their foreheads, their eyes were firm. Obviously, what Zhang Shifu said was what they meant.

After a long time, Zhang Shouren smiled and said: "I've been thinking about it for the past few years. If I only want to do things happily, or if I change the soup without changing the medicine, and only replace a group of ministers and the emperor, it may be another way. What I hope is that Daming can get rid of the cycle of rise and fall, jump out of the barriers, and walk out of another way. I am a warrior, even if it is like this now, I still say that I am a warrior. The most important thing for a warrior is to protect the family and the country. Instead of falling into internal strife. It is not my honor to grab that chair, but a burden."

The words were too deep, and everyone present seemed to be listening attentively, but after listening for a long time, only Lin Wenyuan vaguely understood some of Zhang Shouren's meaning, but the deeper things were still unexpected.

"There are so many hateful things about this Great Ming, so hateful that I don't want to help him, but there are also so many respectable and lovely things that make people can't bear to give it up..."

When everyone was ignorant, Zhang Shouren could only let out such a long sigh in his heart.

At this time, he is qualified to stand on a high place and overlook this Daming that he loves to hate.

The absurd financial system, the overall incompetent and extinct civil servant class, the gentry class that is difficult to control, the arrogant and untrained scholars, and the armed forces with the lowest combat effectiveness, only stronger than "My Qing Dynasty" ...

These are things that people hate and want to get rid of, but the inherent splendor of Han civilization is still there, and the diligence and wisdom of the Han people are not empty words. The long clothes are fluttering, the virtues still exist, and civilization and hygiene are still the mainstream of society. In this era when Europe has just emerged from ignorance, Ming can still be proud of its people, even if it has begun to lag behind the enemy.

This is a nation with serious physical illnesses, both in court and among the people, but it is still alive and progressive inside, from the translation of Western and Western academic works by the scholar-bureaucrats to the self-confidence of the people. , from academics to weapons, the overall attitude is to use it to learn, you might as well learn, neither arrogant nor inferior, the whole nation has maintained considerable vitality in the southeast area, foreign trade has been very successful, and it has successfully sucked in one-third of the world's silver The reserves are still strong... It is impossible for a lazy nation to achieve such success, and it is impossible for the people to be rich and powerful, rich and polite, well-dressed and bright, and healthy and energetic as recorded by the Western missionaries at that time! [

For that alone, Daming is worth giving up everything to save!

When Zhang Shouren's heart was shaking, the hundreds of generals in the hall were also very excited!Since I followed Zhang Shouren, it was the first time I heard him make such an impassioned and unpretentious declaration... How powerful and confident this is!

The whole of Shandong is under control!

……

……

At dawn the next day, the entire city of Jinan woke up amidst the whispers of the common people.

Many people suddenly remembered when they opened the door and opened the window that those Fushan soldiers were sleeping outside the windows of their homes, on the side of the courtyard wall, on both sides of the street, on those roadbeds or under the trees. Sleep in the open air all night!

"Don't be a son of man, don't be a son of man!"

Many people in Quancheng have the unique and simple personality of Shandong men. After seeing such a scene, they first blame themselves.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to blame themselves. After dawn, the sound of gongs sounded everywhere in the city, but it was the government that summoned the people. All the barracks in the school camp were refurbished.

Jinan has not had more than 5 troops stationed in the city for decades, and the school camp has been in disrepair for a long time. This time, the government has also spent a lot of money. Not only will it mobilize more than [-] people to build military camps in batches, but also burn a large number of Green bricks and square bricks are estimated to cost about [-] taels of labor and materials, and it will take more than half a month to build the barracks into specifications that can accommodate the army.

As for the fine repairs in the future, these Fushan soldiers' own engineers can handle it.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the common people went back to get the tools they were comfortable with, and those who should be on duty today carried the tools to the camp. No matter what, these well-disciplined, first-class and powerful troops were stationed in front of the spring city. Among them, everyone's wealth and lives are also guaranteed. These days, who knows whether the bandits or the Eastern captives will return next year?Having a strong army is always something that makes people feel at ease.

Before the people went out, the army had already got up. When the people were all over the street, all the blankets and tarpaulins were cleaned up. There was a well in every alley. The soldiers lined up in front of the well water, or dug the well with iron buckets The water is forming an orderly team, washing teeth, washing face, and washing clean.

Seeing this in other cities, it must be a wonder. Fortunately, the Fushan Army's emphasis on hygiene has been accepted by the people of the city a few years ago. Seeing such a situation, the people are all laughing and feeling I am very familiar with these soldiers. Under such a situation, those bundles of well-made long guns leaning against the wall, and those firecrackers with black muzzles are not so scary.

In this era of Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that only Fushan soldiers can make the common people feel close.

Surrounded by hundreds of brothers, the senior officials of the merchant group had already taken off their merchant costumes and put on civilian clothes, striding towards the barracks.

Behind him, all the regiment members followed Gao Hu's example. They all took off their military uniforms and followed behind Gao Hu.

When seeing the Fushan soldiers in the brigade, including Gao Hu, these regiments all greeted each other, or gave military salutes affectionately, because the military salutes are very standard, many Fushan soldiers couldn't help but return the salute... and then they were dumbfounded ...Who are these guys?

Only a small number of military officers in the team recognized Gao Hu, and while returning the salute, they laughed and cursed: "Gao Hu, what the hell are you doing? Are you scary when you come out in broad daylight?"

"Report to the instructor!" Gao Hu has already become a team officer. Many of his instructors are only deputy sentries or platoon leaders, but they have been trained for a day and will be teachers for life. Gao Hu stood still and replied: " I won’t do it for those bastard businessmen, now I’ve stripped off my clothes and begged the Taibao to take me in, so I can be a soldier under the command of the instructors!”

"You are already a team officer, are you still a soldier?"

"However, you have suffered the same hardships as us in training, but you were almost beaten. If you can succeed, go!"

Being encouraged by the instructors, Gao Hu and his group were of course beaming with joy.

Although the betrayal of the chamber of commerce was not visible, Gao Hu and the others were not fools. They immediately resigned in the chamber of commerce, returned their weapons, took off their military uniforms, and walked out without looking back.

Regardless of whether it was Dongzhu Qin or Old Dongzhu Li who came to persuade him personally, Gao Hu and the others were determined and refused to listen to anyone who persuaded them.

If you hang out with these old men again, do you still want this face?

No matter how high the salary is, he still guards the door of the house, but the face of a man is also needed. When walking on the street, people point out that he is a lackey of the guard of the commercial firm. Can't swallow it! >
