"Chief Yun, where are Zhong Yan and the others?" Now that the rebellion has been put down, the next work is for Wang Zhizhen and Yang He and his son to take care of the students. Zhu Youcong decided to arrange the last thing and return to Luoyang.
Go take a rest and see if those two troublemakers at home have caused trouble for you recently.
Wang Zhizhen read the text carefully and compared it with the map for a long time before answering: "I received a report the day before yesterday that they had passed Puzhou, and I think they should be able to arrive tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll just wait for two more days." Thinking of something, Zhu Youcong asked Lu Shanji next to him: "Have Zhaojuan and the others left?"
"Let's go, Commander Xiong took the soldiers and set off with the 100,000 troops brought by Mr. Yang early this morning." Lu Shanji was quite gloating. Originally, it was his turn to garrison Shaanxi and deal with the Tatars in the north;
But who told that young man to be so drunk that after just two drinks, he started swearing and boasting that he could bring the Tatar tribe into submission in just half a year? This was overheard by the general Zhenguo who happened to be passing by.
, the official military order the next day became the third division garrison for this. When Xiong Zhaojue left, his look in his eyes could turn Master Lu, who was inviting guests to dinner that day, into ashes.
"General, do you think this matter needs to be reconsidered? After all, he is your uncle..." Wang Zhizhen has never seen such a monster in his whole life. He even tricked people on his own uncle. He also
Is he considered a human being? The most incredible thing is that he can actually convince the emperor to send Du Yinxi to help complete this task
Zhu Youcong doesn't have a good impression of the current Shu King Zhu Zhishu, but he can actually be promoted by the scholars to compete with my eldest brother for the throne in another time and space? "What about uncle? I don't know how many twists and turns he has taken.
Besides, I’m here to take him to the capital to enjoy his life. Are you so busy with nothing to do that you actually take care of my family affairs?”
Sichuan must be in its own hands. It is said that unruly people come from remote areas. Sichuan has often rejected national integration since the Song Dynasty. A small Diaoyu City actually dared to withstand the attack of the Mongolian and Yuan armies for thirty-six years.
Those Sichuan Wazi used their own strength to force the murderous demons who dominated Eurasia and finally had to let them retreat on the condition that they could not kill a single person in the city. The Tatars were even more cowardly. At this time, they boasted that they let Zhang Xianzhong kill him.
It took ten years to completely occupy the uninhabited Sichuan. It can be seen that not only the people here are ruthless, but also the flowers, plants and trees are biting! The Japanese pirates in later generations were so cunning that they sent out planes to bombard them all day long.
They did not attack from the ground; however, the answer they received was that 3.5 million troops came out of Sichuan and fought bloody battles with them on various battlefields at the cost of 640,000 casualties.
Of course, Zhu Youcong will not let go of such a lovely and loyal person. They will have little chance to defend their homeland and country in the future, but it is a good choice to try to bully others. Moreover, there is still a long way to control Sichuan based on the current situation.
On the plus side, it was not an exaggeration at least in the Ming Dynasty to say that the road to Shu is as difficult as going to the sky. If you want to enter the Sichuan waterway, you can take a boat upstream, but you have to rely on trackers to pull it. Aren't you afraid that someone will run away and the rope will break during the boat trip?
The most convenient land route is to take the Baoxie Road into Sichuan, but you have to be careful when a few people suddenly appear on the plank road and block the front. The Chengdu Plain is also known as the land of abundance. It can easily solve the food problem and move the Ming Dynasty's weapons research institute in the future.
When you go to a place like this, do you still have to worry about leaking secrets?
The most important thing is that Sichuan is close to Yunnan and Guizhou and guards Wusi Zang. Along the river, it can also directly threaten the Jiangnan area now controlled by the scholars. Once the imperial court accumulates elite soldiers here, people with evil intentions from all over the world will have to think carefully about attacking.
?Be careful not to fall when you climb the mountain. You'd better ask me for a fake or something before going down the mountain. Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you when you are so tired that you can't stand up straight! Defense? When your whole army is dragged away
When I was here, I couldn’t attack from the flank? Don’t forget that the six northern provinces are now my territory!…
"But..." We are all one family, so why do things so carefully? Keeping them in Sichuan won't affect you at all. It wouldn't be nice if word spread about the quarrel between uncles and nephews.
"What's wrong! If you say one more word, I will leave Zhong Jin in Shaanxi and let you do this!" The most unlucky thing about the King of Shu is that he has a good reputation among scholars. Zhu Youcong doesn't know what's going on.
There is something fishy, but now that I have noticed it, I will never allow others to use this loophole to cause trouble for me behind my back.
Two days later, Du Yinxi finally arrived at the Xi'an government office after a long journey. Although this mission was not glorious to say, it was still an opportunity to serve the imperial court, and he semi-voluntarily accepted the contract with Du Yinxi.
Also arriving at the same time was a new recruit, Danzi. Li Guo would lead five recruit battalions to join him in Sichuan.
"Zhong Yan, tell me what your plans are?" Zhu Youcong was really a little uneasy. Du Yinxi was the only political novice in his small circle and had little experience, but he really couldn't send other people.
From the day he received the appointment, Du Yinxi kept thinking about what to do first. "Returning to the general, I borrowed 20,000 kilograms of corn and 60,000 kilograms of sweet potato seeds from Luoyang this time. I plan to
After the local area is established, we will first try to plant it on the original fiefdom of the King of Shu. If the effect is good, we will promote it throughout Sichuan. We will first solve the problem of food and clothing for the people and then talk about other things..."
After hearing this, Zhu Youcong relaxed a little and nodded in praise: "Well, very good! Conquering the world is a matter for soldiers like me, but ruling the world requires you civil servants. Can you take your time and start with the people's livelihood?
Much better than those people who only know what slogans to shout all day long. You have to remember that this time you not only have to take care of Sichuan, but also take care of Yunnan and Guizhou next to it..."
"But I still have something to ask the general to agree to..." Du Yinxi suddenly raised the request in embarrassment. He also wanted to tell the emperor about this when he was in the capital, but Chongzhen didn't know that he was planning with Li Guopu and Gao Doushu recently.
What a bad move. I just didn’t have time to see him. I just spread the word. All issues can be discussed with General Zhenguo. As long as the little fat guy has no objections, it can be settled.
"Tell me about it..." Doesn't this kid want me to help him clean up those local snakes? What's there to be embarrassed about? If you don't tell me, I'm going to do it.
"Everyone says that there are many wonderful people in Sichuan. I would like to ask the general to give me the power to appoint and remove local officials..." What Du Yinxi said is really not a trivial matter. Don't look at the power of the Ming Dynasty civil servants, even the Dalian emperor dared to stand up.
But at least for the sake of appearance, the court still has to appoint and remove officials. I have never heard of delegating this power to the governor of a province.
"Reason?" If people dare to make requests face to face, they should have no selfish motives. Otherwise, their brains can't think of a way to hold the emperor who is far away from the sky in their hands? Zhu Youcong is not worried that Du Yinxi is going to
Take the opportunity to cultivate your own power. As long as there is a suitable reason, he will really agree.
Seeing that Zhu Youcong was still smiling, Du Yinxi had the courage to put forward his request: "Our dynasty has always used imperial examinations to select scholars, but many of the outstanding scholars in Sichuan have no fame and honor. I want to ask the general to agree to treat these people."
People are promoted out of the ordinary!”
"Aren't you afraid of being copied by the scholars by doing this?" Now not only Wang Zhizhen, who was in the same room, but also Zhu Youcong himself was frightened. This boy was so ahead of his time that he even gave me a warning before I even had time to come up with a solution.
I figured it out. Jianfeng pointed directly at the imperial examination system that has been followed for thousands of years. It seems that he is not timid.
Du Yinxi stood up straight and said with an upright face: "Don't be afraid, Xianguan! Xianguan is selecting talents for the court for the future of my Ming Dynasty! Xianguan sits upright and has a clear conscience. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
"
"If you're not afraid, then go ahead and do it! But I've taken on this responsibility for you. I'm going to send someone to the capital to ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict to give me the right to employ people! If you do something, I'll scold everyone and everyone should bear their own responsibilities!"
Officials with ideas and courage like Du Yinxi must be protected. Zhu Youcong doesn't care about his own reputation. If you want to scold those rotten scholars, just scold them. Be careful that they make me angry and ask those two scourges to be released early.
Your whole family!…
"Thank you, General. I would like to thank the general for his great kindness and kindness to those strangers who are about to become soldiers..." Du Yinxi originally thought that even if the general of the country agreed, he would only let himself do it secretly, but he really didn't expect it.
He would take everything over so blatantly. With an emperor who is willing to think about the world and a general who can shield him from the wind and rain, what else can't he do?
Zhu Youcong waved his hands carelessly and said with a smile: "Okay, where is all the nonsense! You people have done a good job, made the Ming Dynasty stronger and stronger, and allowed the people to live a good life. This is just for the emperor and the emperor."
My greatest reward!"
"Do you know why I asked Li Guo to take five battalions of troops to Sichuan with you this time?" It seems that he no longer has to worry about civil affairs, but there is one thing that needs to be reminded in case he doesn't know how to deal with it when he gets there.
"The lower official is stupid, please give me a clear explanation from the general!" Du Yinxi has also been wondering why others are accompanied by a battalion when they take office, but he has to bring five times the number of troops to Sichuan, the safest place. If he bullies the King of Shu
If so, an imperial edict is enough.
"Do you know the chieftains in the southwest?" Zhu Youcong certainly would not let those group of people oppress the Han people and abuse the ethnic minorities, dare to separate one side and make the imperial edicts become nothing more than a piece of paper.
"This policy is our country's imitation of the old system of the Tang Dynasty. Its meaning is to restrain the rope without breaking it..." Du Yinxi also hated this group of guys who wantonly killed people and caused trouble on the border, but he did not dare to act rashly, otherwise if he provoked
It would be bad if these people rebelled, but now it seems that General Zhenguo has planned to deal with them personally.
"It's good to know. Not only will I send Li Guo to go with you this time, but I will also transfer two more battalions from Commander Lu to you!" Zhu Youcong paused and then said fiercely: "This time you arrived in Sichuan,
If they still dare to hide and try to fight against the imperial court, then you don't need to be polite. This army is prepared for them. Once you find any abnormality, you can directly use troops to annihilate them without asking for instructions, and I want you to remember to kill them.
