Win the Ding 1617

Zheng Zhilong's words had quite an effect on the civil and military nobles present.

Just kidding!Even if you have trouble with Liang Guogong in public, he will not make trouble with you given his status as an old man.At most, he just smiled. As for whether the magnanimous old man wrote you down in the little black book and took care of you slowly when he went back, that's hard for anyone to say.

However, no one dared to stroke the beard of this navy admiral, Mr. Zheng.The reason!It's also very simple, who made him the admiral of the navy! ?What is his origin, everyone present is very clear!The famous jade dragon on the sea!If you offend him, if the Qing soldiers come one day, Fuzhou City can no longer be defended, and we all have to flee again. At that time, he will tell you that there is no space on the sea ship. You old man can figure out a way for you!Then we have to use our two legs to race against the Qing soldiers, and use our two legs to measure the mountains between Fujian and Guangdong.They don't have the leisurely mood, they can drive seven hundred miles for fifteen days, and they can still write heroic poems about the vastness of the Gan River and the vastness of the Minshan Mountains.These gentlemen must have sedan chairs and horses. Of course, it is best to go by boat.

This is what civil servants think.

As for the honorable military officers present, which one didn't know the methods of Admiral Zheng in front of him?Among other things, look at his son, his name in various parts of Nanyang can cure children from crying at night!It is called the Great Demon King of the Sixth Heaven!But whoever has such a nickname, how can he be easy to get along with?What's more, they are still Liang Guogong's sons and daughters.At this time, Shi Lang, who led his troops to besiege Hangzhou, was still his little pirate back then!

The nobles looked at Zheng Zhilong with admiration and admiration in their eyes. "Boss! Well done! You can scold me so much!" These nobles have more or less dealt with the Nanyue Army in Nanjing, and they have all earned a lot of silver dollars from Nanzhong merchants.For them, the happiest way to make money is to rent out the qualification flags of ships stipulated in the Jianghai Joint Defense Agreement. Even if you sell the Nanmi contract, you have to follow the market. How can it be as easy as renting out the qualifications?Brothers, everyone drank and chatted, fixed the rent, and then waited for the sea merchants to come to your door!

What?You said that you have a large fleet and many ships, so you are not afraid of pirates running rampant at sea?OK!But don't blame us for not reminding you!At the beginning, there were also a large number of people who didn't pay attention to the good intentions of Jue Shuai's Jianghai joint defense agreement, and went out to sea without going through the flag and formalities. Hairy pirate.Poor!Out of a fleet of tens of thousands of people, only a dozen escaped back.The goods worth tens of millions of silver and hundreds of large ships have all become waves in the eastern ocean.

With so many things at stake here, Zheng Zhilong's words are naturally quite intimidating.

Seeing that the court hall had quieted down, he exchanged glances with Li Shouhan, held a wat board, and knelt down when he came out of the squad: "Chen, Admiral of the Navy of the Southern Guangdong Army, Zheng Zhilong, the general soldier of Fujian, has a book to play!"

The plan proposed by Zheng Zhilong seemed to be bombarded by several giant ships such as the Fubo, the Three-Headed Tiger, and the Aomei.

First, it is said to set the battalion system and set the number of troops.

Second, it is said that officials will go down to the villages.

The third is to recruit people and calm people's hearts.

Zheng Zhilong's first statement, the so-called "set the battalion system, set the number of the army", the core content is that now in our Daming area, there are quite a lot of officers and soldiers scattered in Jiangnan, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong, Huguang and other places. However, the battalion is complicated and the orders are different, so it is difficult to coordinate and cooperate with each other, and it is even easy to be defeated by the Qing army one by one, or lured away by high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong proposed to arm all the Ming armies under Emperor Longwu's rule, to have a unified organization, unified supply, and unified system.Only in this way can orders be unified and coordinated actions.In this process, those battalion heads with many officers but few soldiers should be reorganized, and the troops with incomplete weapons, shattered discipline, and more than enough to disturb the people and not enough to fight against the enemy should stop spending extravagant food and pay.All abolished!

"In order to boost morale and encourage the morale of the army, I boldly said that the battalion numbers and town names of the previous armies were all removed, and they were collectively called the 'Hongwu Army' No. XX Town and No. XX Association. The obvious differences between them were unified in front of His Majesty. In order to set an example for the whole army, the minister and the general agreed to first remove the bugle number bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen, and since then there will be no more soldiers from the Southern Guangdong Army. Only the towns and battalions of the Hongwu Army under His Majesty's command. The ministers are willing to conquer the Quartet for His Majesty, crusade against non-subjects, recover the lost land, and return it to the capital!"

This statement was naturally passed without a doubt.Originally, in the army under the rule of Emperor Longwu, only Liang Guogong's soldiers and horses can be called powerful troops, who can give it a go with the Qing soldiers.The remaining soldiers and horses, let them eat and drink, are all experts in the industry, let them go to battle, that is, bandits and bandits can defeat their existence.Since you, Li Shouhan, want to change the designation of the Nanyue Army to the Hongwu Army, naturally there is no objection.As for whether there will be annexation of miscellaneous brands and expansion of direct lineage in this process, I'm sorry, the North Korean and Chinese military officials are not aware of that.

At most, some censors and Hanlin muttered a few words, "Emperor Taizu Gao's reign name is Hongwu, and His Majesty's reign name is Longwu. Is this Hongwu army suspected of committing a taboo?"

"No! No!" Among Hanlin and Yushi, there were also members who had made up their minds to join Li Shouhan, a broad and warm embrace. Faced with such a good opportunity to make a good impression in front of Liang Guogong, of course they couldn't let it go.

"Magnificent, carry forward! The so-called military title of Hongwu is to amplify the literary and martial arts of our great ancestor, Emperor Gao, and His Majesty, to recover the lost land and expel the Tartars. Just like in the past, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu raised troops from Baishui Village, Great victories all the way to Kunyang, taking over Hebei with one hand, and fixing red eyebrows with a horse, this is the achievement of Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che! The title of Hongwu is just right!"

Li Peilin nodded slightly to these officials who were pioneers of Wang, carefully memorized their official ranks, and planned to arrange people to work on them later.After all, anyone who can turn back from the enemy's camp is welcome!Even a few bastards have to operate with the attitude of buying horse bones with thousands of dollars, in order to set an example for others.

This first statement was approved by Emperor Longwu.

What followed was not so smooth.

"Use officials to go to the countryside?" This is undoubtedly going to touch the cakes, cheese, four dishes, one soup, bird's nest and shark's fin of the officials, gentry and sages!Officials, gentry, and sages have always appeared in the countryside as co-governing the common people with the imperial court.The collection of money and food, the collection of corvees, the recruitment of civilian husbands, and the mobilization of food and grass to supply the army all depend on the officials, gentry, and village sages.Of course, this is also an important means for them to make a fortune.

In the well-known "Let the Bullets Fly", Huang Silang said, "The money of the officials and the gentry will be returned in full, and the money of the common people will be split." This is what he said.

As for behaviors such as sweeping taxes, sweeping lawsuits, etc., they are often seen in writing.As for the most profitable, that is to deal with the cross-border support of military supplies.

After the outbreak of the Second Zhifeng War, Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army. The troops of the third brigade of the first division under his command left Gubeikou to meet the Feng army on the front lines of Rehe and Chengde at that time.

Feng Yuxiang asked Wang Huaiqing, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, to meet with Wu Peifu to discuss the issue of marching supplies and asked for the establishment of a military station.Wu Peifu said very easily: "There is no need to handle the military depot. Wherever you go, you can eat there. Not only does it save yourself a lot of trouble, but the local officials are also very welcome."

"Excuse me, Second Master Wu, what does this mean?"

"Is there a need to ask?" Wu Peifu replied: "Who in the local officials and gentry is unwilling to take over the official post? They spend five and can apply for ten, which is a great source of wealth. You just start and don't have to think about it. I am here Hubei and Henan all adopt this method, and the local government welcomes it, and it saves us trouble.”

This is the secret of officials and gentry getting rich!Unexpectedly, Wu Peifu, a talented scholar who is admired by countless people, who is almost like Yue Fei and Guan Erge, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Confucian general who writes poems from time to time, is actually such a person!Don't you take Yue Shaobao and Qi Shaobao as your role models?Even the name is based on Qi Jiguang's characters, why do such things that are more vicious than looting?

If such a big and good bowl of rice is easily taken away by Li Shouhan, should we all still mess around?After returning home, how can I meet my classmates, the same year, and the same family who have returned to my hometown?Do you want to hang out?How can you continue to maintain your living standard after retirement and return home, control local government affairs, and use these affairs to search for the people's aspirations?Immediately, Zheng Zhilong's words were like knocking over a hornet's nest, and the hall was immediately as noisy as a vegetable market.

Although the voice was noisy, what they said was completely within the pre-planned deduction by Li Shouhan, Li Peilin and others.It is nothing more than "My Ming Dynasty has always ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. How is this practice different from the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty? Now if we want to regain the lost ground, we must have a good government and a harmonious people. Only in this way can we be prosperous. How can we make such a bad plan?!", "Since ancient times, cruel officials have disturbed the people. It can be seen from the history books, how can this generation have more places for disabled people to succeed?"

However, there are voices of exception.Li Peilin heard that someone brought up all the plots in the Water Margin that was circulated in the market.In that book, whoever works as a servant or a petty official is not a character who is used to extortion?Even Li Kui, Dai Zong and others in Liangshan Heroes also need to take some regular money to use.When Lin Chong was sent to the forage field of the army, he was also told by the master in charge of the battalion, "Every month, you only pay for the grass and feed, and there are some regular money. It used to be guarded by an old army. Now, I recommend you to guard it for the old army." Heavenly King Hall. You can find some money there."

"This man is an interesting person, not a dead book. Whenever I have a chance, I will hang around with him." Li Peilin looked at the messy situation in front of him with a smile, but felt extremely comfortable in his heart. "Let's be messy! The more messy, the better. The more messy you are, the more messy you are, it will be a great help to my brother."

However, the roar from a voice ruined his beautiful plan.

"Before the emperor, why are you so presumptuous!"

Everyone fell silent immediately, all eyes looked for the sound, but it was Huang Daozhou, the chief minister of the cabinet.At this moment, Mr. Huang's beard and hair are stretched out, and his eyes are wide open.It can be seen that he regards this kind of noisy and disrespectful behavior in the palace as a crime of disrespect for his subjects.

The hall suddenly fell silent.Both sides began to prepare for a big battle.Li Shouhan, Zheng Zhilong, Li Peilin and others adjusted their state silently, as if a big battle was about to take place.

Outside the hall, a few Southern Guangdong Army officers, no, officers of the Guards Brigade who are now called Hongwu Army, calmly adjusted their subordinates with gestures, and were ready for unexpected events to happen at any time.

"Once someone makes a move inside, you immediately rush in and control all the civilian officials and officials who are not our own!"

This is the arrangement Li Peilin made to them with a dark face before going to court today.He is only afraid that the world will not be chaotic. In his opinion, as long as Li Shouhan proposes these plans today, he will inevitably meet strong opposition from the bureaucrats.There are bound to be disputes in the court, and even fights. "As long as you make a move, I will rush up to the hall in the name of protecting the holy car, and capture everyone. At that time, my lord, you will have to stop wearing this yellow robe!"

"Marshal Jue, General Zheng. I don't understand something, and I want to ask my colleagues for advice."

"Master Chief Assistant, please speak."

Zodiac Zhou saluted Li Shouhan and Zheng Zhilong in a comprehensive manner, and then asked questions, which made people unable to say anything for a while.

"Since the birth of Jue Shuai, the old man has seen in his eyes and remembered everything he has done. Back then, Wanli Fuhai went north to serve as the king, and fought in Hexi Wu. His eyes were filled with tears. Later, the marshal donated money from his family to the Inner Palace, thinking that his family would provide for him, and even distributed his private wealth to provide relief with work. In the Liaodong War, the Marshal and his father and son went to battle, and even His Royal Highness almost escaped the battle. Killed in the cannon. All kinds of things, let Huang, who has read sage books since childhood, admire him. Thinking about it, the method presented by the marshal today is also a great means for the country and the people, but the old man is old and dull. If you can’t figure it out, please ask Jue Shuai for advice.”

After all, it is the chief assistant of the current court, and his words are so smooth that it makes people feel like a spring breeze.He clearly knew that what he said was full of blades, but he felt very comfortable.

Regarding Huang Daozhou's remarks, the civil servants naturally all agree, originally!We all have seen what you Liang Guogong did for the Ming Dynasty. You helped the crisis several times. This credit and loyalty are naturally worthy of the sun and the moon.But why don't you continue on the road of public loyalty to the country?Why do you want to go to the opposite side with all of us?Only Li Peilin cursed in his heart: "Old fox! It's a good way! I'm afraid the lord will be overwhelmed by pouring bowls of rice soup over here!"

Zodiac Zhou is also very depressed today.Li Shouhan vetoed one of the several regulations that were originally planned, but the other party's proposals took the initiative one by one.It's a pity that a group of well-read poets and regular-born people from Kejia on my side were beaten to retreat in front of several warriors and pirate-born nobles, and they were speechless.This kind of thing is really a shame for scholars!On my own side, it can barely be regarded as a Franc cannon, with a fast rate of fire, but low power and short range.On Li Shouhan's side, there are 24-pound and 48-pound guns of the same color. Not only are there common ones in the army and navy, but there are also a lot of those [-]-pound siege mortars!Therefore, Huang Daozhou stabilized his mind, carefully considered the words and sentences, and sorted out the various ills that may exist in the plan that Zheng Zhilong proposed just now for officials to go to the countryside, or that may occur in the future, and use them to attack Li Shouhan shells.

However, unexpected things always happen in this world.At the moment when Huang Daozhou prepared his words and prepared to shoot at Li Shouhan one by one calmly, behind him, two voices uttered back and forth.

"What Lord Shoufu said is very true. The lower officials also think that what Jue Shuai said is beneficial to the country and the people."

"I also agree with what Jue Shuai said. However, the key point is to ask Jue Shuai to give some advice, so that the subordinates can implement it, so as not to use the opportunity for the treacherous people to collect money from the people."

The person who spoke was someone who even Huang Daozhou wanted to dress up and treat each other with courtesy.

Former chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, teacher of Emperor Wanli, Zhang Tongchang, great-grandson of Zhang Juzheng.And the other is his teacher, Qu Shixu, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War and assists the general in military and political affairs.This Mr. Qu has been secretly regarded by the civil official group as a scum in clothes who has taken refuge in Li Shouhan.The reason is also very simple. During the reign of Chongzhen, he was squeezed out by Wen Tiren and others, so he resigned and returned to his hometown in Changshu.Invited by Xu Hongzu of Jiangyin to travel to Guangdong and Guangxi, and even traveled all the way south to Nanzhong.

The trip to Guangdong and Guangxi, especially to Guangxi, gave Qu Shishi a very good impression of Li Shouhan.Unexpectedly, Guangxi, which has been a barren and plagued land since ancient times, is full of chieftains and traffic jams, can be basically self-sufficient in food, and road transportation is even more convenient. Boats shuttle on the river, and roads connect various states and counties. More prosperous villages and towns also have roads for carriages.

Those chieftains who always burned property and houses and robbed people were honestly performing their duties.Those who dare to make mistakes have already become the military achievements of the second son of the Li family and the governor Huang.

Under Xu Hongzu's explanation and introduction, Qu Shixu couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

"Everyone in the world thinks that Li Shouhan's military power is strong and his horses are strong, and he runs amok, but they don't know that behind his military strength and horses, he relies on the political system. Tax money to pay! Otherwise, no matter how strong the soldiers are, no money, no food, and no sophisticated equipment in their hands, they can only act like bandits!"

What kind of teacher there is, and there will be what kind of disciple.What's more, this disciple's family has a long history and has lived in Guilin for many years.I have a deep understanding of the situation before and after the Li family settled in Guangxi.

After Li Shouhan supported Emperor Hongguang to ascend the throne in Nanjing, this pair of master and apprentice led the decree to become officials.However, all the way from south to north, just after arriving in Guangzhou, I heard that Nanjing had fallen.Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yujian ascended the throne to supervise the country and proclaim himself emperor.So, the master and apprentice went to Fuzhou.

Qu Shixu served as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and was invited by Li Shouhan to go to Xingyuan to help assist in military affairs.And Zhang Tongchang served as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.Because of being close to Li Shouhan, he has long been regarded as a traitor to a man in clothes.
