Zhu Han didn't care how Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with the corruption issue in Yingtian Mansion. In other words, he knew Zhu Yuanzhang and knew that he didn't have to worry about it.
Furthermore, based on Zhu Han's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, he would never allow corrupt officials to exist in the Ming Dynasty under any circumstances. Moreover, Zhu Han solved a problem for Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was too late for him to be happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang would only be happy if he went on a killing spree in Xuzhou without Zhu Yuanzhang's permission. If Zhu Han didn't take any action, then Zhu Yuanzhang would be angry.
After leaving Xuzhou, Zhu Han did not go directly north to Qilu, but went west into the southern realm of Henan.
In the original plan, Zhu Han was going to rest in Qufu. After all, it was once the territory of the Kong family, but Zhu Han directly pushed him from the sky to the ground. At this time, the ministers in Qufu were the confidants sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, so even if he went,
It's just a superficial article.
Moreover, they already knew that Zhu Han would pass by Qufu. After what happened in Xuzhou, Zhu Han simply changed his route and raided southern Henan.
When the chief envoy of the southern province of Henan heard that Zhu Han suddenly changed his route, he immediately panicked. In Zhu Han's original itinerary, Zhu Han would not have passed through southern Henan at all, but why did he suddenly change his route now?
Xuzhou is not far from southern Henan. They must have heard about Zhu Han's killing spree in Xuzhou City. In the eyes of these officials, Zhu Han is a broom star who will definitely bring disaster to others wherever he goes. Southern Henan
The chief envoy of the province originally thought that he was relatively lucky, but who would have thought... Zhu Han directly brought disaster to him.
"I'm really afraid of what will happen."
The Chief Envoy of Southern Henan at this time was Meng Duan, a man who rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty and entered the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. It must be said that he had two skills to transform from a surrendered minister to an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, in charge of one side. Meng Duan
There are two brushes at the end.
But no matter how powerful he is, he can't stop Zhu Han from appearing in southern Henan at this time.
I have no choice but to bite the bullet and pick it up.
Similarly, Meng Duan also asked people around him to inform the officials of various prefectures and counties in southern Henan, asking them to take care of themselves. If anyone has done something corrupt, he should come forward and confess as soon as possible. If Zhu Han finds out, he will eventually be blamed by the family.
He was also implicated.
Meng Duan's threat, coupled with Zhu Han's reputation as a vicious man, really intimidated many officials, so much so that their legs trembled when they saw Zhu Han.
After Zhu Han arrived in southern Henan, Meng Duan led the officials of the Chief Envoy of Southern Henan to come. After seeing Zhu Han, he bowed and said: "My lord, Meng Duan, the Chief Envoy of Southern Henan, has met His Royal Highness.
"
"Are you Meng Duan?"
Zhu Han looked Meng Duan up and down, but found that... this big liar who was very famous in history was not very good at all. He didn't even look like a scholar, just like an old farmer, with nothing outstanding. Zhu Han
I really can't understand how this ordinary-looking middle-aged man deceived the Mongolian and Yuan ministers.
I diverted to southern Henan, firstly because I felt reassured about the situation in Qilu, and also because I wanted to conduct a surprise attack and check the governance of the southern province of Henan.
Of course, there is also a small wish of Zhu Han, he wants to see Meng Duan once.
Meng Duan was amazing. If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't marched north much faster, Meng Duan alone would have overthrown all the senior officials of Meng Yuan in southern Henan.
This old guy is a liar!
Meng Duan is a scholar, but he is not a scholar who follows the rules. When he was a Jinshi in high school, he was very depressed because he was not taken seriously by the Meng Yuan Dynasty. He studied hard for ten years and finally became a Jinshi in high school, but you don't take me seriously?
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Meng Duan went directly to the road of deception, found an official position for himself, and then went south to southern Henan to deceive. Those nobles of the Meng Yuan Dynasty were also stupid. They knew that Meng Duan was here to deliver the holy edict orally, so they directly chose
It is believed that Meng Duan directly became the local emperor of southern Henan... Then on the eve of his lies being exposed, Meng Duan directly chose to strike first and tied up all the senior officials of southern Henan. Before he could take action, Xu Dahe
Chang Yuchun led his men to fight over, and Meng Duan simply took the senior Meng Yuan executive he had captured as his surrender certificate.
Later, Meng Duan started as a seventh-grade county magistrate. In just seven years, he became the chief envoy of the southern province of Henan. His ability alone was enough to impress many people.
I admire... including Zhu Han.
There is no golden finger, no force value, no foresight of history, and even no helpers. When he is alone in the enemy's base camp, Zhu Han has to admit that if it were him, he might not be able to do as well as Meng Duan.
good.
This is a great talent!
For this reason, Zhu Han stayed in southern Henan for two more days. He and Meng Duan went to the Yellow River to have a look. They also visited several surrounding prefectures. After seeing it, Zhu Han didn't find anything novel.
, but there is nothing wrong with it.
One word to describe it is: stable!
The southern province of Henan is not moving fast, but every step is steady. We don’t expect to make mistakes or achieve results, we just move forward step by step.
On the edge of the Yellow River, Zhu Han said to Meng Duan who was accompanying him: "When you come to southern Henan, it is completely different from when I was in Yingtian and when I passed through Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Anhui. You are not complacent, nor are you in a hurry for success, and everything is stable.
We are moving forward step by step. The people in southern Henan are really lucky to have you as their parent official."
"It is my blessing to be praised by His Majesty the King of England."
Meng Duan's emotional intelligence is very high, otherwise he would not be able to kill the enemy in his nest alone. He heard the meaning of Zhu Han's words and explained to Zhu Han: "The people in southern Henan have suffered from wars.
They want to live a stable life and let them build factories and do business... It's too far away. They can only let the people settle down first, lead some people to do business first, and then lead the people to start thinking of ways to increase the income.
income……"
As the top administrative official in southern Henan, Meng Duan had a very clear understanding of the situation in the southern province of Henan and even had his own plan. However, when he talked to Zhu Han, he only scratched the surface and did not say much about his own plans.
.
"Not bad."
Zhu Han looked at Meng Duan beside him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Master Meng to be so courageous, but when facing the people, you used the safest method. What Ming Dynasty needs is talents like you.
"
"I?"
Meng Duan automatically filtered Zhu Han's last praise for him, because the meaning of Zhu Han's words lies in the first two sentences, that he was brave...it was also during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, not now.
"Your Highness, the King of England, is talking about me kidnapping officials from the Meng Yuan Dynasty, right? I was too young and too arrogant at that time. If it were now... I might not dare to do that."
Meng Duan showed a wry smile as he spoke, "I studied hard for ten years in Hanchuang, but was bullied in the Meng Yuan Dynasty. I really couldn't bear this tone, so I had to take risks. But in the Ming Dynasty, I don't need to worry about this at all. Your Majesty and
Your Highness, you make the best use of people and talents. Everyone has room for their own performance. Even if you dismiss me from office and let me become a commoner, I am still willing. In the Ming Dynasty... being a commoner is happier than being an official.
Much more."
Look, Meng Duanduo is good at talking. Zhu Han was obviously talking about him, but after he took over the words, he started to flatter Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, and it was very comfortable to listen to.
Being a common person is happier than being an official. This is not a derogatory meaning, but a compliment to Zhu Yuanzhang for his wise and decisive decision-making in governing the officialdom.
"Hahaha, Lao Meng, you are really a talented person, and Yunan is definitely in your hands!"
Zhu Han praised Meng Duan, "Okay, I will continue to go north tomorrow. I have worked hard for you these two days. I hope you will continue your efforts so that the people in southern Henan can not only have enough to eat, but also live a good life. Can you do it?"
arrive?"
Meng Duan answered simply: "I will live up to my orders!"
…
Yinzhou.
Hu Dahai already controlled a large area. He adopted a military management policy for the surrendered indigenous people. Everyone must live according to the rules of the army. This undoubtedly made his governance of Yinzhou a very simple matter.
Now, Kong Mingde, Yan Xiangdong, and Zhou Deming have completed their transformation. Hu Dahai directly let the three of them be the vanguard to expand the areas outside his control.
This descendant of Nankong has now completed his transformation. He has evolved from a scholar with a pen and paper to a military commander with a sword and slashing people. As more and more people die under his sword, his aura is also gradually increasing.
changes occur.
This day was the day when Kong Mingde came to report progress to Hu Dahai. By the way, he asked Hu Dahai for some supplies to meet the material needs for expansion.
Hu Dahai looked at the dark, muscular Kong Mingde and felt very satisfied... Has he completed the task assigned to him by Zhu Han?
Zhu Han let Kong Mingde be exiled to Yinzhou in order to prompt him to make changes. The Kong family that the Ming Dynasty needs is a Kong family that is capable of literary and military skills, a Kong family that can serve the Ming Dynasty, rather than those who only think about family interests.
the Kongs.
In order to keep warm, Kong Mingde chose to burn the books he brought. From that moment on, Kong Mingde changed.
This change is huge... at least Hu Dahai is very satisfied. For this reason, Hu Dahai even treated him to a meal.
Brown rice, big fat meat... Kong Mingde wolfed down the food, not at all the elegance that a scholar should have.
"I heard that you found three more indigenous women?"
Hu Dahai looked at Kong Mingde and said: "Be more restrained. The word "sex" has a knife on your head. You beat and kill all day long, and then you lie on the girl and exert force. Your body can't stand it. I will write to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King later.
Write a letter and ask them to find you two wives in Daming."
"General, I'm okay, this woman... I don't want to, it's better to be from Ming Dynasty, but... I have to do this."
Kong Mingde closed his eyes in pain and explained to Hu Dahai: "Duke Yue, Yinzhou is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. It is already very difficult to transport supplies. Transporting women... is too wasteful. Duke Yue... King of England
Your Highness wants to control Yinzhou and turn it into an overseas enclave of the Ming Dynasty. We must be self-sufficient and develop for the long term, instead of relying on domestic transportation of supplies. Then we need to be self-sufficient in supplies and population. Those people under my command,
Many of them are from the Ming Dynasty, and they don’t want anything to happen to the local women... Haha, to put it more harshly, old man... I now look at the men around me better than those women, but... as their leader, I
You trust me so much, and I don’t want to betray your trust, so... I must lead by example."
】
In other words, if Kong Mingde slept with an indigenous woman, his men would behave accordingly.
In order for the Ming Dynasty bloodline to blossom and bear fruit all over the world, Kong Mingde felt that his sacrifice was very high.
"fart!"
Hu Dahai curled his lips and said to Kong Mingde: "Don't think I don't know. Although the indigenous people here look different from our Ming women, their skin is very smooth...ahem!"
"Um?"
Kong Mingde raised his head and looked at Hu Dahai: "I didn't expect that the Duke of Yue is also a member of the same group..."
"...Get out!"
Hu Dahai cursed, and then said jokingly: "It's really rare to be able to discuss women at the same dinner table with the head of the Nankong family."
"In the past, I couldn't see the mountain with a blind eye. His Royal Highness and His Majesty...Kong admired me from the bottom of my heart."
I really admire him. Kong Mingde never expected that his life would be so brilliant after he was exiled.
Kong Mingde said to Hu Dahai: "Dong Yue, the natives here offered me a kind of food, which is the rhizome of a plant and is purple in color. It is very good for the body after eating, seven times a night..."
"Huh? Give it to me...ahem, what is that thing? Don't be poisonous!"
Hu Dahai became interested, but he did not want to lose his majesty as a general in front of Kong Mingde: "Be more restrained. I will rely on you to govern Yinzhou after defeating it. In the future, when His Royal Highness comes to Yinzhou, I hope to let him
He saw the rich Yinzhou."
"His Royal Highness is coming?"
Kong Mingde's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking: "When?"
He really hopes to see Zhu Han. After all, it was Zhu Han's idea to be exiled to Yinzhou. Now that Kong Mingde has been reborn in Yinzhou, he naturally hopes to see Zhu Han to thank him in person.
"I don't know. He just said he was coming, but he didn't mention the specific time."
Hu Dahai didn't want to mention it anymore. He waved his hand and said to Kong Mingde: "Take the supplies and go. In addition, you can warn Yan Xiangdong that he has done a bit too much recently. Tell him to be more honest. Don't think that this is Yinzhou, and he can be here."
This is the earth emperor! Here, it is still the world of the Ming Dynasty! Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Hu Dahai didn't say anything, and Kong Mingde couldn't ask any more questions. After he turned around, he couldn't help but frowned, what was Yan Xiangdong doing again?
This is just a good time, does he want to do something else?
Kong Mingde couldn't help clenching his fists as he left.
Take advantage of this time to deliver supplies to Yan Xiangdong, and go to Yan Xiangdong's camp to see what he is doing.
If Yan Xiangdong goes too far, Kong Mingde doesn't mind letting him disappear from Yinzhou.
Kong Deming was exiled to Yinzhou, which has caused the Kong family to suffer a huge disaster. He did not want the last incense of the Kong family to disappear from his hands. The Kong family could not survive in the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to create a new Kong family in Yinzhou, and he would never allow any
