Wanli Xinming

Chapter 197 Aftermath
Lu Bu Feijie, who conquered the Burmese army, did not take a boat, but first went to Yunnan, and then quickly crossed the entire empire.

Wherever Lu Bu went, all the stations and cities knew that the imperial army had won a great victory and killed the Burmese lord.The rebellious chieftains of all sizes in the south have become much more honest after the news spread to the mountains, and the difficulty of local officials' governance has been greatly reduced.

The "Imperial Nanjing Daily" subsequently published an editorial to publicize the reasons for the conquest of Burma to the people, and analyzed the pros and cons - nothing more than defending the family and defending the country, and defending the enemy outside the country.

After several years of nationalistic literary works and newspaper propaganda, the cities with a high literacy rate in the southern part of the empire have produced strong national cohesion.Moreover, the Burmese army did not mobilize the whole of South China like the three expeditions to Luchuan during the Yingzong period. The guns and ammunition were transferred from the capital. It was originally a mix of Yunnan local soldiers and chieftain soldiers, and it didn't cost much extra food.

Therefore, Jiangnan, which did not feel the pressure of the war, was pleased to see the new army's victory in the attack on Burma.There are occasional comments in the newspapers, such as: "Once you have the land, you can't live in it, and you can't use the people. Why should you let your axe and money be punished, and let my feather dance dance?" , the land insurance should not be used by the public, and the guest soldiers should not be flooded for a long time.

The most powerful article in Nanjing Daily refuting the useless theory of land expansion comes from Wang Shizhen.He and Feng Bangning, the proprietor of the Nanjing Daily, have made good friends.Because the five children of the Wang family who were exiled to the northeast were all brought back by Feng Bangning.

The emperor will pardon the world when he gets married, and Zhu Yijun can't be too unconventional.But for the seriousness of the law, the amnesty is limited to those who are over 45 years old and who have committed no heinous crimes. Those exiled by the Wang family are all young people, which is not within the scope.

In desperation, Wang Shizhen found Feng Bangning.Feng Bangning asked his godfather, Li Xiushan, and sent someone to do something in the northeast, and several members of the Wang family were released.After this incident, the two Wang Shizhen brothers thanked Feng Bangning to the bottom of their bones.

Wang Shizhen, who had completely lost the possibility of progress politically, experienced a major change in his family, and also went to Taoism and Buddhism to seek psychological comfort and balance.In particular, I worshipped Tan Yangzi as my teacher. After I published many articles on the relationship between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, I felt that I was already on a par with the sages in thinking, and my reputation in the southern Shilin was even greater than before.

Although Wang Xianzhe does not want it, but Boss Feng is his nemesis.As he published more and more articles on the Nanjing Daily, and his family sought more and more Feng Bangning in many aspects such as buying land and saving people, he himself fell deeper and deeper into the palm of Feng Bao's nephew.

In the fourth year of Wanli, Feng Bangning suggested that Wang Shizhen revise "Ming Feng Ji", and take advantage of the prosperity of Kunqu Opera to push his name up.Wang Shizhen is of course happy. Like Feng Bao, he hates Zhang Juzheng to the bone. As for writing articles Pili Yangqiu and writing novels to satirize the world, this is Wang Shizhen's housekeeping skills, and Feng Bao doesn't need to mention him through Feng Bangning.

After Zhang Wenming was assassinated, Wang Shizhen almost died of fright.The assassin sang "Ming Feng Ji" and killed Zhang Juzheng's father, and the Wang family might have to bury it all with Mr. Zhang.When the white terror spreads across the country, the political metaphors contained in "Ming Feng Ji" are also infinitely extended and excavated - Wang Shizhen dares to swear to the sky, and everyone in Shilin's reading comprehension of "Ming Feng Ji" is absolutely beyond the line!

However, since the Wang family fell to the bottom, it seemed that they had a protective cover on their bodies.During Jinyiwei's search for the world, no one even asked Wang Shizhen to ask questions.While he was relieved, he became more and more incomprehensible to the forces behind Feng Bangning - Li Xiushan's ability can certainly protect him, but even the questioning is not absolutely exaggerated.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen had no objection to Feng Bangning's order.In fact, his thinking is almost metaphysics at the level, and he takes it for granted that things like war, land, and wealth are all nonsense.But after receiving Feng Bangning's letter, Wang Shizhen accepted it smoothly, without any sense of resistance. He even felt that he was a patriot, and it was natural to advocate war.

The importance of the mouthpiece lies in this, and it is also the greatest confidence for Zhu Yijun to dare to reform after he is in power.Although the new army can wipe out the rebellion, it is not Zhu Yijun's wish that the change will lead to a rebellion or even a civil war.Therefore, if you have mastered the weapon of public opinion, you will hold most of the people's hearts.

Therefore, after Feng Bao crossed the line without purpose, he was still able to protect the leader. On the one hand, what Feng Bao did objectively promoted the reform of the Ding You system; on the other hand, it also provided Zhu Yijun with a moral commanding height to eliminate opponents of the reform; In terms of grasping public opinion and people's hearts in Jiangnan, Feng Bao is indeed indispensable.

Of course, Feng Bao thought he was doing it without knowing it, so he was heartbroken after Zhu Yijun exposed it.And after "giving death", he has completely understood the consequences of crossing the line.

As Lubu flew northward, the information about Myanmar among the people in Jiangnan and Liangjiang also spread on a large scale with the reports of war reporters: "Myanmar is rich in gold and jade, and is rich in rice." If you want to make a fortune, go to Myanmar; if you want to be full, you can also go there. Myanmar.It is said that because of the hot weather, the trees there have edible sweet fruits all year round, even if you are a lazy person, you will not starve to death.

As a result, some of the poor southerners who were afraid to make up their minds to emigrate because of the cold weather in the northeast became interested in migrating to Myanmar.Later, a more attractive statement appeared: because the Burmese lord has been fighting for decades, most of the middle-aged men in Burma have died in the battlefield, and the entire Dongyu Dynasty has more women than men. Start - if you are strong, you can marry ten or eight without a dowry.

The bachelor men who heard the news all of a sudden are tempted, because there are more people and less land, and the population imbalance caused by the drowning of female infants for many years finally has a solution.The people who spread the news about Myanmar are flying everywhere, wishing that they could abandon their wife and have a good time:
"Well, these Burmese men are blessed. They only do wars and build houses. They don't do any work in the fields. Women do it."

"Women here also work in the fields, it's nothing special."

"If you don't have a wife, you go there with three wives to serve you, two to work in the field, and one to give birth to a baby. Isn't that beautiful?"

"Hey, if you say that, it seems pretty pretty. Then it's okay to send me your yellow-faced mother-in-law? If you go to marry three, I'll want one."

"Wow, I said you look at my wife wrong, you must have been aiming at it! I will kill you!"

Of course, this kind of casual talk does not lead to actual action. Just as Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun who have returned to Beijing have judged, the Chinese people will never leave their homeland.Except for wars and famines, the Chinese never leave their ancestral lands, and no matter how far those who leave their hometowns go, they always think of falling leaves and returning to their roots—burying them under the graves of their parents.

Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing in a high-profile manner on the grounds that ministers should not receive unreasonable ceremonies—sit in a formal position It is a large sedan chair given by the emperor to be carried by 32 people.From the north to the south, the official circles and folks that have been cleaned up, except for flattering Zhang Juzheng, have not even encountered a single person who sings a different tune.

Of course, just because Zhang Juzheng didn't meet him doesn't mean he didn't exist in the imperial court. After Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing, he was promoted to the title of Dali Temple Minister, and the impeachment memorial for Hai Rui, who was in Xi'an for the final judgment, also arrived.

Although Hai Rui was doing the arduous work of the Supreme People's Court, his spirit of being responsible for the emperor and loving the people was at a loss.Anyone who feels that the administration is not right, there must be an impeachment memorandum.

When Zhang Juzheng's father was assassinated, Hai Rui first sent a letter to comfort him. Then, because of the Zhang Wenming case, the emperor made a big splash, and Hai Rui immediately went to the book to persuade the emperor not to fool around and wrong people.

When the case of Zhang Juzheng's father came to an end, Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing in a high-profile sedan chair with 32 people. Hai Rui knew that there was another round of gunfire and went to face Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was also very happy to see Hai Rui's bullets. To push away the emperor's grace.

When Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing, the New Year was just a few days away.After seeing Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng thanked him in various ways, Zhu Yijun repeatedly condolences and no longer list.The first serious thing the two discussed was Myanmar.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I can't imagine that the battle went so smoothly. Not to mention the main force of the Burmese army, he also killed Mang Yinglong in the first battle. As a result, the previously planned Myanmar strategy has to be adjusted."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said yes, first congratulate the emperor Hongfu Qitian, in order to be better than thousands of miles away.Immediately said: "Before the imperial court was just reaffirming the sage teaching and stabilizing the golden letter and red card authority of the three declarations and six sympathies, and did not have the idea of ​​occupying its own territory and becoming a country. Now that he has no main force, he should carefully consider how to do it. It's better to manipulate this Burma."
