263 [The ambition to seal the wolf Juxu is too small]
The officials left one after another, and Fang Shengchang was responsible for picking up people at the dock.
Fei Ruhe and Zou Guangdi were left behind.
Zhao Han suddenly said: "Corruption and bribery should be investigated first among the military, first among the military judges and propaganda teachers."
Fei Ruhe was suddenly startled: "I usually control things very strictly. There may be a few soldiers hiding it secretly, but it is absolutely impossible for an officer to take bribes."
"You think you're smart?"
Zhao Han suddenly turned cold: "You still let your generals accept all comers and use all the money sent by merchants as military pay? Are you saving money for me to fight? Should I thank you and give you the entire army?"
Announce the reward! I didn’t mention it before, but I want you to be convinced. Chief Zou, take people to the military to investigate immediately!"
"Yes!" Zou Guangdi clasped his fists and left.
Fei Ruhe hesitated to speak. He felt that he had done nothing wrong.
"Speak if you want to speak, don't act dumb!" Zhao Han scolded.
Fei Ruhe explained: "These merchants are intricately connected. I am not familiar with the place here, and I don't even have any officials available. I just want to collect money first to stabilize people's hearts, and to confuse those merchants."
Zhao Han raised his hand and said: "You don't need to say anything. I didn't punish you when I came here, and I won't punish you now. I'll wait until the Integrity Department finds out the results. I know that no matter how much you say now, you won't admit that you were wrong.
Already."
Fei Ruhe stopped talking. He knew that Zhao Han was angry, and it could be said that he was angry.
Because the Department of Integrity can only supervise civilian officials, military discipline, including corruption and bribery, is handled by military judges.
This time Zhao Han asked the Department of Integrity to investigate the military, and he obviously no longer trusted the military judges. In other words, Zhao Han believed that military judges were also suspected of corruption, so he asked the Department of Integrity of the civilian system to intervene.
No matter what the findings are, many officers will be demoted.
The chief military judge under Fei Ruhe will bear the brunt of being accused. The best outcome is that he won a big victory this time and was transferred to other posts based on his merits and demerits. The worst outcome is that he will be punished to the end. If he really embezzles money, he will be 100% sure.
Beheaded!
"Don't go anywhere, wait with me to see Zheng Zhilong." Zhao Han said.
"Okay." Fei Ruhe sighed secretly. He was grounded, but he only saved face.
Alas, Brother Han is getting more and more expressionless. After being in Guangzhou for so many days, he waited until someone from the Department of Integrity came to suddenly want to investigate corruption in the military.
Fei Ruhe's mood was very complicated.
After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Zheng Zhilong still hadn't arrived. Fei Ruhe finally calmed down and reflected. He found that he had been carried away. He had won successive victories in the past few days and occupied Guangzhou without a single blow. As a result, he became casual in doing things and forgot about Zhao Han's decision.
military rules.
Except for quartermaster, other positions in the army are not allowed to touch money!
Suddenly, Fei Ruhe said: "One person is responsible for the work, and the money collected from the merchants is returned to the public. I asked them to collect it. Lao Liu, Lao Yang, Lao Chen (command, missionary, and military law system officials) all advised them at that time
Me, don't punish them. This time when we go south to fight, everyone is looking forward to making meritorious deeds. If I do this, the people who follow me in the war will not only not be able to make meritorious deeds and receive rewards, but will also have to be punished for their crimes. I really feel sorry for them."
When Zhao Han heard this, he became even more angry and scolded: "Are you showing your loyalty to the world, or are you trying to win people's hearts?"
"Damn it!"
Hearing such heart-wrenching words, Fei Ruhe immediately became angry. He stood up and pointed at Zhao Han and said, "You and I have known each other for eleven years. Don't you, Zhao Han, still know who I am, Fei Ruhe? I admit my mistake."
Well, one person does the work and the other takes responsibility, what else do you want me to do before I give up?"
This guy is a loyal soldier at heart.
"Sit down!" Zhao Han shouted.
Fei Ruhe lost his temper and refused to sit down while standing there, staring at Zhao Han with wide eyes.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, sitting and standing, and Fei Ruhe was defeated.
"you say!"
Fei Ruhe sat down.
Zhao Han asked: "What do you do?"
"The one who fights." Fei Ruhe said.
Zhao Han repeated: "What do you do? Be clear."
Fei Ruhe said: "The South Branch of the Military Academy."
Zhao Han asked again: "When you followed me in the uprising, what did you say your ideals were?"
"Do big things!"
Fei Ruhe suddenly stood up again: "I was young and didn't understand before, but now I understand. A man was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements! Now, Jiang Dashan is raiding eastern Guangdong, and Zhang Tieniu is raiding
Western Guangdong will soon be able to capture the entire territory of Guangdong. I heard that Huguang will soon occupy most of it, and it will be a matter of time to conquer the south. To pacify the south, I will vow to fight the Northern Expedition and destroy the imperial court, rogue bandits and Tatars! I don't ask for anything else.
We don’t need money or land. When we establish a new dynasty, we should build a Lingyan Pavilion. No matter what type of pavilion it is, if you put my name in it, your life will be worth it even if you die!"
"I thought you forgot that you wanted to do big things." Zhao Han laughed.
"I won't forget it." Fei Ruhe sat down again.
Zhao Han said: "The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations. Without rules, nothing can be achieved. As a general of the Military Academy, you are not a hero. If you want to do big things, you can't break the rules!"
Fei Ruhe explained: "I have already said that I did something wrong this time. Just punish me. You can't let the soldiers down below feel cold. It will not be easy for them to come out to fight."
"Why are you so messed up? I can't explain it to you," Zhao Han said in a foul language, "Rules, rules, do you fucking understand what rules are?"
Fei Ruhe was silent for a few breaths, then nodded and said: "I understand, I just feel I owe my subordinates. If they are demoted and removed, and I am still in this position, how can I have the dignity to lead troops in wars in the future?" This guy put on a show.
He acted like a bachelor, "Brothers who share the same pot of rice share the blessings and share the hardships. If you want to remove someone from his post, remove me too. I'm not threatening, but I really have no face. This
I took the lead in this matter!"
Okay, after talking for a long time, I made a roundabout way, and it’s still the same Jianghu loyalty.
Zhao Han could only comfort him: "It's not as serious as you think. As long as there is no embezzlement of money, I will handle it properly. There must be rules in everything. Chen Daihui is the military judge of the Southern Military Academy. He will definitely not be able to stay in the army in the future. I will
Let him become a civilian official. As for you... Jiang Dashan is in charge of the Southern Military Academy, and Jiang Liang is promoted to deputy military academy. You can temporarily withdraw from your post and lead the troops."
"That's fine, just push it to the end and feel relaxed."
Fei Ruhe was really relaxed, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to face his soldiers.
And the two of them knew it well and would definitely be promoted back in the future.
In the Military Academy, there are already South Court, North Court, and Middle Court, and East Court and West Court will be added in the future. In fact, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. The reason why the name was changed is that he does not want to irritate the court.
In another year and a half, Fei Ruhe will be able to take charge of the Military Academy again, but by then, he will be the chief of the East Academy or the West Academy.
Zhao Han suddenly stood up, went into the inner room to get a map, and said with a smile: "What do you think this is?"
Fei Ruhe glanced at it: "Deng Yunzhan also gave me a copy of Map of the Four Seas, saying that he copied it from a scholar when he was studying in Hangzhou."
There is a copy hidden in the Forbidden City called "The Complete Map of Kanyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms".
The map template came from Matteo Ricci, and Li Zhizao read through classics and replaced some of the place names from Africa to China with names from Zheng He's era, and some with names commonly used by Europeans.
Without Australia, Central and South America are severely deformed, China's area seems to have shrunk somewhat, and the area of Ryukyu Island is larger than Taiwan.
After Zhao Han observed carefully, he discovered something more interesting.
The place that should have been labeled "Egypt" is labeled "Papironia" on this map, and the text notes that the largest city here is called "Memphei".
Babylon, Memphis!
These two names are actually marked on the land of Egypt!
The map template used by Matteo Ricci originated from the map of the sixteenth century. In just a few decades, Europeans replaced "Babylon" with "Egypt (Ejudo)" and the capital "Memphis" in their global maps. It became "Cairo (Cairo)".
Is this a mistake on the map, or is there something wrong with the history created by the Europeans?
"If you want to do big things, I'll tell you what big things are," Zhao Han spread out the map and pointed at the location of China. "This is the Ming Dynasty, this is Liaodong, and this is Mongolia. Not only do we want to replace the Ming Dynasty, we also want to destroy it. After defeating the Tatars, they will also devour Mongolia. Then, they will recover Dongbo (Taiwan) and immigrate the population of each province to Dongbo and Qiongzhou (Hainan) to open up wasteland and colonize. Then they will capture this place. This place is called Annan, which was originally the Jiaozhi cloth of the Ming Dynasty. Chief Secretary!"
Speaking of opening up new territories, Fei Ruhe immediately became excited and asked, "Will the Western Region be conquered?"
"Of course we have to win the Western Region, this is the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" Zhao Han said.
Fei Ruhe swallowed his saliva and said, "Where is Lang Juxu?"
Zhao Han pointed in the direction of Mobei: "It should be over here, the exact location is not clear."
"I'll fight here!"
Fei Ruhe said enthusiastically: "No one is allowed to rob me from now on, I will fight to Langjuxu Mountain!"
"No one is robbing you," Zhao Han pointed at the Philippines, "Look here, a huge island, all occupied by the Xiaofo Langji people. This is Luzon, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. How can you let the barbarians from other countries be allowed to do so?" Stealing evidence? Luzon must be taken back from now on!"
"Collect it, collect it," said Fei Ruhe, who had no interest in the Philippines. "Just let the navy collect it. I will just seal the wolf and live in Xu."
"No ambition!" Zhao Han scolded.
Fei Ruhe was unhappy: "Feng Lang lives in Xu, but you don't have any ambitions?"
Zhao Han pointed at India: "This is the land of Tianzhu. The small country of Folangjizuo'er has occupied a large area of territory along the coast of Tianzhu. It is said that Tianzhu has fertile land and more fertile soil for cultivation than the Ming Dynasty. Don't you want to conquer it?"
"They are all aliens, and there is no way to govern them if they are beaten down," Fei Ruhe said.
Zhao Han patiently guided: "Since it is fertile land, immigrants can cultivate it. While the Han people immigrate there, they will educate the local people. In a few hundred years, won't Tianzhu become a Han country? By that time, how will future generations respect you and me?"
Fei Ruhe stared at India dumbfounded, remained silent for a long time, and asked: "Is there really more fertile soil for cultivation here than in the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhao Han said with certainty: "It's absolutely true!"
