Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 561
"Yes, General Gao is right, how can the juniors of later generations be on the same level as the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief should be awarded the title of generalissimo, this is worthy of the status of the commander-in-chief." Yang Liufeng hurriedly echoed the words.

Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a military rank, how can you be so particular about it?"

Yang Liufeng hurriedly said: "This is not just a question, it is an affirmation of the commander in chief's achievements. If you don't agree, I think General Gao and the generals will not agree."

Gao Qi smiled and said, "Commander, I don't, I'll write a letter to brother Wen Zhao and the generals, asking for their opinions?"

Hearing this, Li Jing waved his hands again and again: "Well, don't make trouble for me. With your encouragement, what can they say? You can figure it out yourself.

As for the military ranks of the few of you, you can figure it out, even if you all have the rank of marshal, I have no problem. "

Gao Qi smiled and said, "Marshal, don't talk about it, I really need to discuss this matter with them, especially to hear what brother Wen Zhao means."

Li Jing nodded lightly when he heard the words, Cao Wenzhao has led troops to conquer the north and south in recent years, and has made countless military exploits, so he should be given the title of marshal.

After thinking for a while, Li Jinghu said: "By the way, Brother Gao, you should quickly raise the position and military rank of Brother Zhang Chu to him. You mentioned it years ago. Zhang Chu's ability is there. What's more, the old brother has been around for so many years. Why are you holding him down?"

"Isn't this because there is no suitable position? Besides, Brother Zhang Chu hasn't fought any battles in these years. He was promoted rashly because he was afraid that others would not accept him." Gao Qi laughed.

Li Jing glared at Gao Qi and said: "Who is not convinced? Even Dingguo is a soldier brought out by Zhang Chu, and now Dingguo is the deputy governor, Zhang Chu is still a deputy general, you are not afraid of chilling Zhang Chu's heart."

Gao Qi smiled and said: "Commander, what is the origin of our group? I used to be a soldier. I never thought that I would be a general one day in this life. We have such a status now, thanks to the support of the commander. Thank you It's too late, how can you be cold?"

Li Jing waved his hand: "Brother Gao, Zhang Chu is your direct confidant. I understand very well what you mean by suppressing his military position. Don't tell me these useless things. He was promoted to general a few years ago. With Chen Dahu, Liu Er was taken aback, and Zhou Huhu was on the same level.

Don't always use low military merit to suppress him, won't you have military merit after fighting a few battles?Are you still afraid that Zhang Chu will lose the battle?Even if you lose a battle, there is nothing to be ashamed of. How many generals have been victorious in ancient times?General Xu Da of this dynasty has suffered defeats, and even Han Xin, who is known as the God of War, has not lost battles. "

Gao Qi said helplessly after hearing the words: "Since the commander-in-chief said so, let's promote him to general."

Li Jing patted Gao Qi's hand lightly and said: "Brother Gao, it is more suitable to promote him now than after the army expands in the next year. At that time, he led more troops and it was justifiable. If he was promoted temporarily at that time, someone would say that you appointed him." confidant."

Gao Qi nodded: "Thank you, Marshal, for your guidance."

Li Jing smiled and said: "Brother Gao, don't think about it all day long, just focus on the army. I am not Liu Bang, nor the Taizu of this dynasty. Can't do it yet."

"Marshal, you say that, my brother is terrified." Gao Qi hurriedly got up and said.

Li Jing scolded with a smile: "Fuck, you are so scared, we have been old brothers for many years, who do you not know about me? Don't talk about this with me."

Hearing Li Jing swearing, Shen Zheng and the others couldn't help but smile.

Li Jing now occasionally bursts into foul language in front of his old brother. Anyone who knows Li Jing knows that Li Jing's cursing like this shows that he is in a good mood.

But everyone immediately noticed a trace of exhaustion on Li Jing's face.

It was only then that everyone remembered that Li Jing had just passed his fever and was still in a weak state. He had said so much just now, and it was a bit exhausting.

"Marshal, are you tired? I'll help you lie down. What's the matter? I'll talk about it when you recover." Gao Qi said.

Li Jing shook his head: "It's okay, Brother Gao, just pour me a cup of tea, I'll just drink some hot tea."

"Marshal, don't force yourself!" Yang Liufeng said anxiously.

Li Jing smiled: "There are still a few days before the Chinese New Year. There are some things that must be dealt with before the year. If you don't come, I plan to return to Beijing tomorrow. Since you are here, I will explain the matter, and it will be two days later." Return to Beijing."

Shen Zheng heard the words and said anxiously: "What things have to be dealt with before the year, but not after the year?"

Li Jing shook his head: "No, some important things for next year must be decided this year, so that we can implement them after the end of the year. If they are delayed until the end of the year, many things will be delayed.

The few things I just said have to be done in the next year. Be careful, write it down, and start making arrangements when you get back. "

Yang Liufeng nodded, moved tables and chairs, spread paper and ground it, and then recorded the few things Li Jing said just now.After finishing writing, he handed it to Li Jing, who took a look at it and said, "The Ministry of Officials took the lead in handling these matters. One is the appointment of North Korean officials, and the other is the training of officials. Let Heng Chen It's good to think about it, try to select people before the year, and I will meet these people after the year.

Regarding population statistics, please be careful. When you go back, you will write to the provinces. The wording should be stricter, and the chief envoys of the provinces should personally supervise the implementation. I want accurate figures.

As for the recruitment of soldiers, Brother Gao, I think the scope should not be too large. We tentatively plan to recruit soldiers in several provinces, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shanxi. These provinces have a small population. I mean try not to recruit soldiers in these three provinces. Zhili , Shandong, Anhui, and Lianghu, let’s decide on these provinces.As for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, let Chen Dahu and Liu Erleng take care of it. These two boys ask me for soldiers all day long, and they can solve their own affairs. "

"Yes!" the crowd responded.

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "By the way, the two lakes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are our Daming's granary and money bank. We need to find someone safe to manage it. I plan to appoint Chen Dahu as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and let him be in charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What is the result? If there is no problem, then let him continue to serve as the governor of the two lakes, if not, replace him."

Shen Zheng said with a smile: "Master Wu has been in Lianghu for a short time, but the result of the exam is still quite good, Zhongyu."

Li Jing said in surprise: "Zhongyou? It's quite good to be able to achieve Zhongyou in such a short period of time. In the coming year, let Wu Zhen continue to serve as the governor of the two lakes. Father-in-law, you reward Wu Zhen once in the name of the cabinet and let him make persistent efforts." , I hope that the two lakes can produce better results next year, if he has any difficulties, let him mention them."

"Okay." Shen Zheng said.

Li Jing continued: "There is one more thing. I asked Wen Qing to deal with the restoration of the society in Nanjing. Wen Qing suggested that I open Enke for these people. I think it is still feasible. You go back and tell Yuan Boying to let Boying think about it. Let’s see how Enke will be opened this time, and what will be tested if it is opened.”

Seeing Yang Liufeng, brushing up his pen to record, Li Jing rubbed his forehead: "Let's meet Li Zong from North Korea in the next year. Give him a favor, let the emperor summon him a year ago."

"What kind of grace! Who should I summon?" Li Jing had just finished speaking when he heard someone outside the door say.

"Ah! The emperor is here." Shen Zheng and others hurriedly got up and said.

Hearing that Zhu Youjian had arrived, Li Jing hurriedly said to Gao Qi, "Brother Gao, put some clothes on me and help me up."

Hearing this, Gao Qi looked coldly at the door, frowned, and slowly took Li Jing's cloak from the hanger, and put it on for Li Jing.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Li Jing about to get up in his cloak, Zhu Youjian quickly stepped forward and held Li Jing's shoulders: "Brother Li, what are you doing up? If you catch cold again, then Wouldn't it be a crime for me to come to see you?"

Li Jing smiled: "The emperor came to see me, if I didn't greet him, I would be out of courtesy."

Zhu Youjian shook his head: "Brother Li is the one who bothers about these etiquettes the most. How did you come to me with so many etiquettes?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "The emperor is the emperor after all, so you should be more particular about what you should be particular about."

Zhu Youjian pressed Li Jingqiang back on the bed, took the quilt and covered Li Jing, and then said: "Brother Li said that, isn't it a stranger? I..."

Speaking of which, Zhu Youjian turned around and looked at the people in the room, and seeing that all of them were Li Jing's most capable subordinates, he turned around and said, "I have always treated Brother Li as an elder brother for the past two years, if Brother Li treats me as a brother, Don't tell me so many hypocrisy."

Hearing this, Li Jing patted Zhu Youjian's hand lightly: "It's up to you, up to you, don't talk about politeness. Brother Gao, bring a chair for the emperor."

Gao Qi moved a chair behind Zhu Youjian with a smile: "Please sit down, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian turned back and smiled and said, "You guys came fast enough. When I heard that Brother Li had caught the cold, I wanted to let you know and come to visit Brother Li together. I didn't want you to be one step ahead, so I hurried or came later." One step."

Gao Qi said with a smile: "I dare not disturb the emperor, and I never thought that the emperor would come. If I knew that the emperor would come, I would definitely come with the emperor."

Zhu Youjian shook his head: "You guys, it seems that you still don't understand what I'm thinking. I want to rejuvenate Daming, but unfortunately my ability is limited. In my hands, instead of rejuvenating Daming, it's going from bad to worse.

But after Brother Li came to Beijing, he used thunderous means to purge the court, and the atmosphere in the court changed drastically. I really admire Brother Li's methods and abilities.Yes, I have less power, and I was really dissatisfied with Brother Li at first.But in the past two years, seeing Daming gradually prospering, I have long since lost my original hostility towards Brother Li, and I just want to cooperate with Brother Li as much as possible to make Daming revitalize as soon as possible.

Let me tell you the truth, Brother Li has been working hard every day for the past two years, and he has lost weight day by day. I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart. Brother Li is the pillar of our great Ming.

This time I heard that brother Li has caught the wind and cold, although I have not known you for as long as you and brother Li, and I do not have such a deep brotherhood as you, but my impatience will never be much worse than yours. "

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Wang Chengen continued: "General Gao, my lords, what the emperor said is indeed from the bottom of my heart. The emperor heard that the Duke of the country was ill, so he asked this old slave to find your lords early this morning. I heard that your lords have already left. The emperor immediately took the old slave to Tianjin Wei, the emperor only brought a dozen guards with him during this trip."
