Lubu Feijie, who conquered the Burmese army, did not take a boat. Instead, he first went to Yunnan and then traveled across the entire empire on horseback.
Wherever Lu Bu went, all the inns and cities knew that the imperial Burmese army had won a great victory and killed the leader of Burma. The unruly chieftains in the south became much more honest after the news reached the mountains.
The difficulty of official governance is greatly reduced.
The "Empire Nanjing Daily" subsequently published an editorial, explaining to the people the reasons for the conquest of Burma and analyzing the pros and cons - it was nothing more than protecting the homeland and defending the country and keeping the enemy at bay.
After several years of exaggerating nationalist literary works and newspaper propaganda, the cities in the southern part of the empire with higher literacy rates have developed stronger national cohesion. Moreover, the Burmese army did not mobilize the entire southern China like the three expeditions to Luchuan during the Yingzong period.
, guns, artillery, and ammunition were all transferred from the capital, and Yunnan could easily handle the food and fodder for the 10,000-person new army. As for the 50,000 people who followed, they were a mixture of local Yunnan soldiers and chieftain soldiers, and it did not cost much extra food.
Therefore, Jiangnan, which has not felt the pressure of war, is happy to see the New Army's attack on Burma and its great victory. Occasionally there are some comments in newspapers, such as: "If the land cannot be inhabited, if the people cannot be used, how can they be punished with axes and money?"
, Xing my feather dance", and "The king's army cannot go out lightly, the barbarian nature cannot be trained suddenly, the ground is dangerous and the troops cannot be used in large numbers, and the guest soldiers cannot be flooded for a long time", etc., which were immediately refuted by organized rebuttal articles.
Become a climate.
The most powerful article in Nanjing Daily refuting the theory that land expansion was useless came from Wang Shizhen. He and Feng Bangning, the proprietor of Nanjing Daily, had been friends for eight years and became good buddies. Because Feng Bangning brought back the five children of the Wang family who were exiled to the Northeast.
When the emperor gets married, he must grant a general amnesty, and Zhu Yijun cannot be too unconventional. However, for the sake of the seriousness of the law, the general amnesty is limited to those over forty-five years old and not guilty of heinous crimes. Those who were exiled by the Wang family were all young people, and they were not included in the scope.
Inside.
In desperation, Wang Shizhen found Feng Bangning. Feng Bangning asked his godfather Li Xiushan and sent someone to do something in the Northeast. Several members of the Wang family were released. After this incident, the two Wang Shizhen brothers were grateful to Feng Bangning.
Into the bones.
Wang Shizhen, who had completely lost the possibility of political progress, experienced a great change in his family, and sought psychological comfort and balance in Taoism and Buddhism. In particular, he became a disciple of Tan Yangzi, and published an article on the relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
After reading many articles, I felt that I was already on par with the sages in terms of thought, and my reputation among the scholars in the south was even better than before.
Although Wang Xianzhe is awesome, Boss Feng is his nemesis. As he publishes more and more articles in the "Nanjing Daily", his family becomes more and more interested in Feng Bangning in many aspects such as buying land and rescuing people.
After coming more and more, he himself fell deeper and deeper into the hands of nephew Feng Bao.
In the fourth year of Wanli, Feng Bangning suggested that Wang Shizhen revise "The Legend of the Phoenix" and take advantage of the prosperity of Kunqu Opera to push his own literary name to a higher level. Wang Shizhen was of course willing. Like Feng Bao, he hated Zhang Juzheng to the core—
- As for writing articles like Pi Li Yangqiu and writing novels to satirize world affairs, these were Wang Shizhen’s special skills, and Feng Bao didn’t even need to ask him about them through Feng Bangning.
After Zhang Wenming was assassinated, Wang Shizhen almost died of fright. The assassin sang "The Legend of the Phoenix" and killed Zhang Juzheng's father. The whole Wang family might have to be buried with Mr. Zhang. When the white terror spreads across the country, the politics contained in "The Legend of the Phoenix"
Metaphors have also been extended and excavated endlessly - Wang Shizhen dared to point his finger at the sky and swear to the sun, and the scholars' reading and understanding of "The Legend of the Phoenix" was absolutely beyond the standard!
However, since the Wang family hit rock bottom, it seemed as if they had a protective shield around them. During the time when Jinyiwei was conquering the world, no one even came to ask Wang Shizhen for questioning. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he became increasingly unclear about the forces behind Feng Bangning -
-Li Xiushan's ability can certainly protect himself, but even his questions are not absolutely exaggerated.
Therefore, Wang Shizhen had no objection to Feng Bangning's instructions. In fact, his thoughts were almost metaphysical in level, and he naturally believed that war, land and wealth were nonsense. But after receiving Feng Bangning's letter, Wang Shizhen accepted
It was also very smooth and completely non-confrontational. He even felt that he was a patriot and it was natural to advocate war.
This is the importance of the mouthpiece, and it is also the greatest confidence that Zhu Yijun dared to change the law after taking office. Although the New Army can suppress the rebellion, it is not Zhu Yijun's wish that the change triggers rebellion or even civil war. Therefore, if he has the weapon of public opinion, he can hold it.
won the hearts of most people.
Therefore, Feng Bao was still able to keep his leader after Wu Zhi crossed the line. On the one hand, Feng Bao's actions objectively promoted the reform of the Ding You system; on the other hand, it also provided Zhu Yijun with the moral high ground to eliminate opponents of the reform; and finally
, Feng Bao is indeed indispensable in terms of grasping public opinion and people's hearts in Jiangnan.
Of course, Feng Bao thought he was doing it without realizing it, and that was why he was devastated after Zhu Yijun exposed it. And after going through the "death penalty", he has completely understood the consequences of crossing the line.
...
As Lubu Feijie moved north, information about Myanmar among the people in the south and south of the Yangtze River also spread on a large scale following the reports of war reporters: "Myanmar is rich in gold and jade and is rich in rice." If you want to get rich, go to Myanmar; if you want to be full, you can also go there.
Myanmar. It is said that because of the hot weather, there are edible sweet fruits growing on the trees all year round. Even if you are a lazy man, you will not die of hunger.
As a result, some of the poor people in the south, who were suffering from the cold weather in the Northeast and did not dare to make up their mind to immigrate, considered migrating to Myanmar. Later, a more attractive argument emerged: because the leader of Myanmar has been aggressively militarizing for decades, Myanmar has
Most of the men in their prime died on the battlefield. In the entire Toungoo dynasty, there were more women than men. As long as a man was willing to settle down, he would start with one wife and two concubines. If you were strong, you could marry ten or eight men without any gift money.
Now all the bachelor men who heard the news were tempted. Because there were so many people but so little land, the population imbalance caused by the murder of female infants for many years finally had a solution. People everywhere who spread the news about Myanmar were so excited that they wished they could abandon their wives.
Have a great time:
"Well, these Burmese men are blessed. They only work on fighting wars and building houses. They don't do any work in the fields. Women do it."
"Women here also do field work, it's not that big of a deal."
"You don't have a wife, but you have three wives to take care of you, two of them work in the fields, and one of them is used to give birth to a baby. Isn't that beautiful?"
"Hey, you seem very pretty when you say it like that. How about giving your yellow-faced woman to me? You can marry three of them, and I want one."
"Wow, I said there was something wrong with the way you looked at my wife. You must have been targeting her a long time ago! I'm so tender to death!"
...
Of course, this kind of casual talk cannot lead to practical actions. As Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun, who have returned to Beijing, have judged, the Chinese will never leave their homeland. Except for war and famine, the Chinese will not leave the land of their ancestors but their hometown.
No matter how far people have traveled, they will always think about the fallen leaves returning to their roots - buried under their parents' graves.
Emperor Zhang Juzheng successively issued endless decrees such as "burial", "sacrifice", "shadowing of children and grandchildren", etc. He returned to the capital in a high-profile manner on the grounds that ministers should not receive undue courtesy - he was sitting upright.
It was a large sedan chair given by the emperor and carried by thirty-two people. From north to south, the officialdom and the people had been cleaned up. Apart from fawning over Zhang Juzheng, they did not encounter even a single dissenter.
Of course, just because Zhang Juzheng did not meet him does not mean that there was no one in the imperial court. After Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing, he received the title of Minister of Dali Temple, and the impeachment memorial for Brother Hai Rui, who was conducting the final judgment in Xi'an, also arrived.
Although Hai Rui was doing heavy mobile work as Supreme Court, his responsibility to the emperor and his love for the people had gradually declined. Whenever he felt that his administration was wrong or inappropriate, there would be an impeachment memorial.
When Zhang Juzheng's father was assassinated, Hai Rui first sent a letter to express his condolences. Then the emperor made a big deal out of Zhang Juzheng's case. Hai Rui immediately wrote a letter to advise the emperor not to act blindly and unjustly accuse people.
When Zhang Juzheng's father's case came to an end, Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing in a high-profile manner in a sedan carried by 32 people. Hai Rui knew that another round of artillery fire was directed at Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was very happy to see Hai Rui's bullets - this
Only then can we successfully push away the emperor's grace.
When Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing, the Chinese New Year was just a few days away. After meeting Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng thanked him in various ways, and Zhu Yijun repeatedly expressed his condolences without giving any details. The first serious thing the two discussed was Myanmar. After all, it is a major national event that cannot be ignored.
A little bit of neglect.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I never expected that the battle would go so smoothly. Not only did I easily encounter the main force of the Burmese army, but I also killed Mang Yinglong in one battle. As a result, the previously planned Burma strategy will have to be adjusted."
Zhang Juzheng nodded in agreement, and first congratulated the emperor on the great blessings to the heavens, so that he could be better than thousands of miles away. Then he said: "Previously, the imperial court only reiterated the teachings and stabilized the authority of the golden red card of three declarations and six consolations. It did not occupy its place or deny it."
The country’s thoughts. Now that he no longer has the main force, he must carefully consider how to manipulate Burma.”
