Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 1048 Who Says We Will Not Kill Prince Daming
It's not that He Jinzhao has never summoned the scholar who asked to see him.

However, almost all of them came in good spirits and returned in disappointment.

They all thought that He Jinzhao would reuse them.

After all, how many scholars can there be in the Den of Thieves?
Scholars of my generation are rushing to join you, even if you don't tell your generals, you have to be courteous and corporal.

What about He Jinzhao?

I just asked them to write about how to govern a county and ask about policies. Some people wrote colorful articles, but Zhang Fuzhen called them to ask about the detailed rules.

But those of them who can't even pass the Jinshi exam are so ignorant that they are not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of Zhang Fuzhen.

Zhang Fuzhen asked them if they would like to practice with the Hammer bandit officials, but none of them were willing.

Because once you become an official in Daming, it is very difficult to be an official again!
In addition, being an official is the way out for many "failures".

Although "officials" are at the bottom of the "chain of contempt" in officialdom, from the perspective of ordinary people, "officials" are still a high-ranking "official".

Why are these scholars who came to join He Jinzhao angry?
Because they can't get into the Jinshi of Ming Dynasty, they can do this!

The Hammers are here, and they're fucking doing this!

Then why did he still go to He Jinzhao and call him a Hammer Bandit?

What an ignorant thief.

Then these people saw the style of the hammer bandits, and they were kicked out one by one.

And it was publicized loudly that you don't have any skills but only know how to read a few books, and you can't even pass the Jinshi exam in Ming Dynasty, so you want to come to my Hammer Bandit to seek high officials, generous salary, and rich children and grandchildren?

It's just wishful thinking.

Zhang Fuzhen's operation directly kills justice!

He knew the nature of these scholars, and for the sake of face, he appointed to pour dirty water on the hammer bandits in various ways.

Zhang Fuzhen simply used magic to defeat the magic, first pouring dirty water on them.

With this background, the onlookers naturally knew that the laughter was loud.

Scholars have a noble status, and it is said that Wenqu stars came down to earth, but in Ming Dynasty, it was Wenqu stars who could really be admitted to the number one scholar, otherwise there would not be enough Wenqu stars in the world.

Under such circumstances, in He Jinzhao's view, this Gu Jikun still dared to muster up his courage, probably because he really had something in him.

Otherwise, these noble juren and scholars can't afford to lose that face.

"He came by himself?"

"Back to the commander-in-chief, just himself."

"Then tell him to come in and lead him to that table."

Gu Jikun's lower body was searched properly, and then he was brought in front of He Jinzhao, and he bowed slightly to salute.

On the contrary, some scholars have the spirit of not kneeling directly on the ground.

"Kunshan Gu Jikun, met King Qin."

"Sit down, sit down." He Jinzhao pointed to the chair beside him and signaled Zhang Fuzhen to make a move.

Zhang Fuzhen handed Gu Jikun a paper with a smile, and then asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Gu Jikun was obviously a little confused. He wanted to talk to He Jinzhao about the restoration of the society. There are many scholars in Nanjing who have the ambition to serve the country, but there is no way out. He wants to persuade He Jinzhao to use scholars.

Daming now has to spend money to make connections even in the imperial examinations, and it is becoming more and more like the end of the dynasty.

Many officers and soldiers are busy making money, and then wait for the new dynasty to be established, and then we will sing praises.

It would be best if it could be reused, even if it is not satisfactory, you can live in seclusion, just advertise that you are a survivor of the previous dynasty, and live your own prosperous life behind closed doors, it will not get in the way at all.

Gu Jikun first subconsciously looked at the examination paper, the first question was self-introduction, and then how to govern if he became the county magistrate of Yicheng, and gave the current predicament of Yicheng.

Yidu was his last stop before coming to Xiangyang, and he stayed there for a while, so he knew a little about it.

Gu Jikun brushed and wrote according to the requirements, and then looked at the second question, how should the subordinate staff manage?
In other words, what Gu Jikun is writing now is all theory.

After a quarter of an hour, Gu Jikun put down the brush and rubbed his slightly sore wrist.

Naturally, some officials took it to Zhang Fuzhen first.

"King Qin, this person still has some insights."

He Jinzhao took the answer sheet and glanced at it casually. There were too many grades, but he could tell the good from the bad.

"Gu Jikun, can you accept going to the countryside to practice with officials for a year?" He Jinzhao asked directly.

Gu Jikun raised his forehead and said, "Dare to ask King Qin, have I been chosen?"

"Not bad." He Jinzhao put down the test paper in his hand and said:

"There are so many scholars who come to apply, what they say is empty talk, what's the use of empty talk?

Can Daming keep the people from starving to death by relying on their empty talk?

Can relying on their empty talk eliminate us and other rebels?
Can they kill the Tartars outside the customs by relying on their empty talk? "

Gu Jikun was a little excited for a moment, as if he had met a confidant.

Even He Jinzhao, who claimed to be the Ming Dynasty's traitor, wasn't so excited.

"Empty talk is harmful to the country, and only practical application can save the people of Li from fire and water." Gu Jikun couldn't help but excitedly said: "Those who protect the world are as cheap as ordinary people, and have no responsibility!"

Zhang Fuzhen looked at Gu Jikun and couldn't help being a little surprised. It seemed that this tried and tested scholar was really a promising talent, which was very in line with the hammer bandits' way of development.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!" He Jinzhao blurted out without thinking.

"Ok?"

Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help looking at He Jinzhao again, where did his commander-in-chief's quick wit come from, this kind of talk can be picked up, and it sounds more conducive to spreading?

Gu Jikun was also full of astonishment, and then he said with great joy: "What the King of Qin said is really short and sharp."

"Gu Jikun, now I will give you a chance to display your talent."

He Jinzhao also stood up and said with a smile, "Go to Yidu as an intern for official staff, and settle down well, and you will definitely have greater development in the future."

"Thank you King Qin." Gu Yanwu immediately agreed happily.

It wasn't until the subordinate officer at the side took him to the next room for an "official examination" that Gu Jikun realized that this trip was not to seek an official.

I just want to have a discussion with Marshal He, and then recommend a few friends who have been re-established.

"King Qin's astonishing words from time to time really amaze me." Zhang Fuzhen flattered him.

He Jinzhao nodded absently, because he recalled that it was Gu Yanwu who said those words.

After all, it is quite famous, and Gu Yanwu also changed his name because he was against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.

Does it mean that the Gu Jikun in front of him is Gu Yanwu?
Gu Yanwu is also a person who has tried and failed many times. He Jinzhao doesn't know much about this person's profile. Whoever has nothing to do will remember such things. Knowing a name and specific events is already very good.

History books are so thin, how could it be possible for you to learn all the lives of everyone?

Zhang Fuzhen really felt that He Jinzhao ignored him because he didn't like being flattered, so he asked He Jinzhao to read the latest newspaper.

After all, their own side moved thousands of miles to Huguang and won consecutive victories. The news of the big victory ahead can also make them feel more at ease and save a lot of things.

After completing the registration process, Gu Jikun got his "official status", and came back and said that he wanted to recommend Fushe members.

He Jinzhao naturally responded again and again, as long as he wasn't the type of empty talker.

Gu Jikun looked at He Jinzhao who was holding something that looked like a mansion newspaper in his hand, and it was written on it to introduce the fighting intention of the hammer bandits to defeat the Ming government army.

When He Jinzhao put down the newspaper in his hand, Gu Jikun quickly turned his head to the side, in case it was military intelligence.

"This is the newspaper that my Hammer Bandits published to the people under our rule, so that they also know about our frontline." He Jinzhao took the initiative to hand over the sample of the newspaper to Gu Jikun: "Look at it."

"newspaper?"

Gu Jikun took it and quickly browsed it, the official newspaper issued by the Hammer Bandit, and it was not the first issue.

"Are there many literate people under King Qin's rule?"

"Probably illiterate." He Jinzhao replied truthfully.

Although he sent many children to school and organized evening classes at the peasant associations in the townships, the literacy rate still did not improve.

But compared to Daming's literacy rate, it has risen a lot.

Gu Jikun expressed his understanding, maybe it was the officials who read the newspapers to the people under their rule to let them know about the major events of the Hammer bandits.

"King Qin, there is one more thing I want to ask."

"You said."

"My family has a lot of fertile land. If I can perform well under the Hammer Bandits in the future, will I be able to keep my ancestral property?"

"What is ancestral business?"

"Fine land that has been passed down."

Hearing Gu Jikun's answer, He Jinzhao stood up and took a few steps: "I don't bother to fool you, if your Gu family is a cannibalistic master, I will appoint a few people to kill your family members.

If the performance is acceptable, we can also redesignate the land after each of you is separated. "

Hearing this, Gu Jikun shook his head again and again and said: "To be honest, Wuzhong has also been drought in the past two years, and the fertile land at home has not produced much, and it is also missed by the wealthy Ye family in Kunshan."

"The Ye family is a big landlord in Kunshan?"

"really."

When the person was sent out, Zhang Fuzhen pinched his beard and said:
"King Qin, Fushe has always been known as Xiaodonglin, Erzhang has merged dozens of associations, and it is rumored that there are thousands of people participating.

They are opposed to empty talk, and actually participate in political struggle. "

He Jinzhao remembered that Sun Chuanting had sent back news.

In order to help Zhou Yanru regain his position as the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, the members of the Fushe gathered tens of thousands of taels of gold back and forth.

Most of these people are from very good backgrounds, otherwise they would not have such capital.

And Zhou Yanru's title of virtuous prime minister is also thanks to the operation of this group of people.

In short, there are only a few people like Gu Jikun who can afford it.

As for the people who were rehabilitated, He Jinzhao who was willing to seek refuge was also willing to use them, and he didn't bother to invite those who were unwilling to seek refuge.

This group of people is really a leader in the party struggle, but to govern the local area, I am afraid that even an official is not qualified.

When Gao Yigong entered Jingzhou, King Xiangyin refused to surrender, thinking of negotiating terms with the hammer bandits, but Gao Yigong didn't give him a chance to bargain at all.

The whole family of King Xiangyin was killed.

Li Dingguo also successfully conquered Jiangling, and the two sides joined forces smoothly.

The hammer bandits continued to march towards Chengtian.

Chengtian, present-day Zhongxiang County, Hubei Province, was enshrined here by King Xingxian Zhu Youhang, the father of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, had no sons after his death, and Zhu Houcong joined the Datong.

Zhongxiang was regarded as the "Land of the Dragon", and also the location of Xianling, so it was upgraded to Chengtian Mansion, and two guards, Chengtian and Xianling, were set up for defense.

When the storm of peasant uprisings swept across the land at the end of Ming Dynasty, Daming moved the general army of the province to garrison, and dispatched other provinces to assist and suppress the general army to assist in the defense, and ordered the provincial governor and inspector to sit in Chengtian to protect the mausoleum.

Although there are heavy soldiers guarding here, they can't shake the hearts of the people.

When the vanguard of the hammer bandits arrived in Chengtian by boat, some local residents wrote "Welcome to the King" on the gate, and some opened the Xiguan gate to welcome the rebels into the city.

But they were all stopped by Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang.

In fact, he was also very confused, and things were developing too fast.

Originally, Zuo Liangyu committed crimes in Xiangyang and other places, so he impeached Zuo Liangyu.

But the court obviously didn't order to reprimand Zuo Liangyu, and didn't even reply.

In this way, Zuo Liangyu became even more rampant.

Song Yihe secretly hated.

So when Zuo Liangyu retreated to Chengtian in embarrassment, because the soldiers had no food to ask him, the governor of Huguang, to pay him, Song Yihe categorically refused.

So Zuo Liangyu borrowed food again, but was repelled by Song Yihe's troops, and even recruited Zuo Liangyu's soldiers to expand his manpower.

But Zuo Jun didn't dare to continue to be fierce because of the hammer bandits chasing behind him, but he just robbed the landlords outside the city and ran to Wuchang.

Even a rich man from the countryside can't stand the food and drink of so many people.

Now Song Yihe finally understands why Zuo Liangyu gave up the fertile land of Xiangyang and ran away with others.

The reason is that the hammer bandits have traveled thousands of miles to attack Huguang!
Since the fall of Sichuan, Song Yihe, the governor of Huguang, has been a little worried that the hammer bandits will rush out of Sichuan to attack Huguang.

But gradually, the hammer bandits took over Sichuan and there was no movement. Instead, Zhang Xianzhong committed crimes in Huguang, which affected the vital power of the court.

As a result, after Zhang Xianzhong was almost pressed to death by Hou Jingliao, everyone thought that he would live a long and peaceful life.

Unexpectedly, the hammer bandits came suddenly!

Song Yihe came to power by licking Yang Sichang, because Yang Sichang rewarded the emperor, saying that it was Song Yihe who made the first contribution to Jingchu in suppressing the bandits.

And Song Yihe wrote a letter to Yang Sichang and signed it as a bird because Yang Sichang's father was named Yang He, which became a joke in Chu for a while.

But the effect is obvious, because he was implicated in the crimes of the fallen feudal lord, and was promoted by Yang Sichang to become the governor.

Although Song Yihe kept his political future by licking Chongzhen's first favorite minister, he also recruited villagers to train troops to defend against bandits. He had an army in his hand, but he didn't have much confidence in facing the hammer bandits.

The most important thing is that Zuo Liangyu directly refused to listen to his orders from the governor, and refused to turn around and fight against the hammer bandits, making it impossible for Song Yihe to judge the combat capabilities of the hammer bandits soldiers.

As the governor of Huguang, even if Xiangyang is lost, King Xiang or other princes are killed, it doesn't matter.

But Chengtian Mansion is different!

This is the place where the Ming Dynasty inherited the throne, and it must not be lost easily.

That would be a serious crime, it's not as simple as Song Yihe being locked up in prison, and he has to walk through Caishikou anyway.

In order to deal with the hammer bandits' siege, Song Yihe recruited the commander-in-chief Qian Zhongxuan and asked him to build wooden fences around Chengtian, so that the hammer bandits could not easily attack the city.

Qian Zhongxuan actually planned to escape with Zuo Liangyu.

Even if he had never fought against the Hammer Bandit, he had heard about the record of the Hammer Bandit!
It is by no means that he can repel them by setting up a few wooden fences outside the city and then defending the city.
