I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 105
"Reporting to the Supervisor, since Lin Jun from Tingzhou moved south, Tingzhou Mansion has been controlled by Commander Xu Jin of the Third Army of the Ming Dynasty's New Army, and all the remnants of the bandits and rebels in the mansion have been eliminated." Privy Councilor Zhu Chengxun stood in the Imperial Study Room. In the middle, he played respectfully to Zhu Yijiong.

After Zhu Chengxun finished speaking, Wang Li immediately followed up and said: "Reporting to the Supervisor, the cabinet has also sent accompanying officials to Tingzhou Prefecture a few days ago. They are expected to arrive in a few days, and the civil and political security of Tingzhou Prefecture can be restored by the end of the month at the latest."

The two men played in tandem, which basically determined the future development direction of Tingzhou Prefecture.

Lin Jun took the initiative to retreat south. Although it was slightly different from what Zhu Yijiong thought, it was not a bad thing to be able to regain Tingzhou Mansion without any bloodshed.

Furthermore, Lin Jun went south to conquer Guangdong under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Without affecting the foundation and overall strategy of the Ming Dynasty, if he could try to preserve more anti-Qing forces, Zhu Yijiong would still be happy to see it. It's done.

After finishing the report on the affairs of Tingzhou Prefecture, Zhu Yijiong immediately talked with Wang Li and Zhu Chengxun about the future affairs of the three prefectures in western Fujian.

As a newly restored place, the three mansions of Nayan, Shao and Ting will definitely not be able to do what they did before, whether it is cutting off braids or shaving their hair, or reforming the New Deal.

Previously, Zhu Yijiong's Ming Dynasty seemed to be strong, but in fact it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In western Fujian alone, there were three forces that were disobedient to orders but not to propaganda. Moreover, most of the other state capitals were newly occupied territories and were quite powerless.

Therefore, in order to integrate these state capitals as soon as possible and accumulate strength to attack the Qing Dynasty externally and suppress internal pressure, the Ming Dynasty had to use some radical and crude methods.

But this method is indispensable, and it always has hidden dangers.

When the Ming Dynasty carried out New Deal reforms and cut braids and shaved hair, the local army alone suppressed many rebellions, and the total number of heads chopped off was at least [-].

Of course, the most important thing is that the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the original uprising regime. In terms of various institutions, it is gradually moving closer to an orthodox dynasty. Although the territory is still small, it cannot always mess around.

In response to this, Wu Sidao, the current prefect of Shaowu and chief secretary of the three prefectures of Yanshaoting, Zuo Shenzheng (equivalent to Daotai), even wrote a special memorial to him as the supervisor.

Among them, it is said that although cutting braids and shaving hair and New Deal reforms are the national policies of the Ming Dynasty, today is different from the past. The situation in the Ming Dynasty is very good now. There is no need to forcefully dispatch local soldiers or even the new army to enforce it as before. .

After some investigation, Wu Sidao suggested that the method of combining hardness and softness should not be implemented forcefully, but could be implemented among officials at all levels first. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, wearing Qing Dynasty pigtails was not in line with the rules.

With a righteous name in hand, no one can say no.

Once the upper-level bureaucrats are defeated and these people serve as examples and propaganda, the gentry and common people below will inevitably be shaken.

At this time, let officials at all levels go back and forth to explain the situation in the world. They should focus on the past achievements of the Ming army and the war in Zhejiang, and try to exaggerate as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, it is intimidation. There are many smart people among the gentry. The Qing government cannot save them, and there is even a tendency that they will fall at the first push. So why do they persist?
In this way, after a few rounds, it will be almost done, and then we will arrest a few tough models and convict them casually.

You can’t just say it’s casual!
It is impossible for those who can make a fortune these days not to have blood on their hands.

Zhu Yijiong felt that this method was very good. It could not only achieve his goal, but also re-establish the image of his Ming Dynasty.

Wang Li also had no objection to this.

After all, even the Supervisor State has told them personally, which shows that the Supervisor State is very optimistic about it.

In this case, as long as there is no big problem... If there is a big problem, you can't talk about it first. At most, you can find a private setting, or you can secretly give a remonstrance later. You can't publicly let the supervisor lose face.

As for the Wu Sidao who was behind the scenes in Jian Guo's words, Wang Li naturally knew who he was.

After all, the impression of being a crippled staff member of the former governor of Fujian and Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty should not be too deep.

In addition, although Wu Sidao was promoted from secretary to Shaowu prefecture, and later promoted to chief secretary of Yanshaoting three prefectures, Zuo Shenzheng (equivalent to Daotai), these appointments were directly ordered by Zhu Yijiong.

However, the procedures were still handled by the Ministry of Personnel as a formality. How could Wang Li, the chief minister of the cabinet, not know this.However, knowing Gui Gui knew, Wang Li didn't have any overreaction. Wu Sidao was promoted quickly, but no matter how fast he was, he was still a chief secretary and a left-hand politician, which was still far from him as the chief minister.

Moreover, the fact that the Supervisor has promoted this person so highly means that he must be very important to him. If he still messes around, wouldn't it be very ignorant?

The plan of the three prefectures in western Fujian was decided, and Wang Li immediately talked about another important matter: "To report to the supervising country, our Ming Dynasty now occupies Fujian, and has restored the three prefectures of Zhejiang, and the new government reforms of the imperial court have been implemented for a long time. , the people's hearts are attached to them, and the country's power is growing day by day. I have the courage to ask the supervising government to open up a new branch to recruit scholars, seek talents for the country, and respond to the hearts of the world!"

After saying that, Wang Li knelt down.

Opening schools to recruit scholars has always been the best method used by feudal dynasties to gather people's hearts.

Rao is the young scholar who is very easy to use in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they are all the products of the imperial examination. Wang Li's advice, in addition to being a group of scholars, the butt determines the head, is indeed what he said, it is For the sake of Ming Dynasty.

After all, the war in Zhejiang is now easing, and the Ming army has shown great power in this battle. Even the gentry groups in Fujian who were originally in the Ming Dynasty and had a heart for the Qing Dynasty have begun to waver after this battle.

If you want to open a subject to get scholars at this time, it is a good time to win over people's hearts.

However, Zhu Yijiong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Well...Wang Qing, this imperial examination matter is of great importance. The war in Zhejiang is urgent now, and Fujian is full of waste. The imperial examination should wait until the Zhejiang battle is over before doing business." Promote it!"

This... Wang Li raised his eyebrows, but still did not persuade him.

In fact, Zhu Yijiong did not want to go against the times and not hold the imperial examination, but felt that the imperial examination could be opened now or wait until the Ming Dynasty captured Zhejiang.

Moreover, after capturing Zhejiang and marching to Nanjing, Ming Dynasty already had the capital to truly dominate the world. When the time comes for the imperial examination, it will be even more confident.

Zhu Yijiong said: "Okay, let's not mention the imperial examination for the time being. Zhu Qing, Gu ordered you and the Privy Council to immediately start preparing food, grass and baggage, and recruit civilians. In this battle of Zhejiang, Gu wants to be the imperial driver to personally conquer!"

Driving in person?

Upon hearing these four words, both Zhu Chengxun and Wang Li were startled.

It seems that the Supervisory State is about to launch a general attack on Zhejiang.

In fact, this was also the result of the discussion between the two before Zhu Yijiong sent Wu Sidao to Shaowu.

In the battle of Zhejiang, the Qing army lost [-] troops. Even if many of them were young and strong soldiers, it was a heavy blow to Zhejiang.

Not only in terms of military affairs, but also in people's hearts. In particular, in order to shirk responsibility, two people, Huang Sheng, the admiral of Zhejiang and Dai Kun, the commander-in-chief of Wenzhou, tacitly praised the Ming army in the battle report in order to shirk their responsibilities. Huang Sheng even bluntly said that the Ming army had witchcraft. , and Wenzhou Commander-in-Chief Dai Kun was more arrogant and directly shouted the slogan "The Ming thieves are full of invincible enemies".

After these two people's operations, the Zhejiang Qing army was not afraid of the Ming army like a tiger, but it was almost there.

Zhu Yijiong and Wu Sidao didn't know about the Zhejiang Admiral's tricks, but they also understood that the opportunity was rare at the moment, and the Ming Dynasty took advantage of this opportunity to capture Hangzhou in one fell swoop with a thunderous Northern Expedition. As long as Hangzhou was conquered, there would be a real dragon entering the sea.

Ming Dynasty will truly rebel from one place and gain the capital to dominate the world.

Therefore, Zhu Yijiong decided to go on a personal expedition, not only to boost morale, but also to attribute this great achievement to himself.

Otherwise, the world would have been brought down by the generals under his command.

So what do you want him to do as a supervisor?
Become Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty?
　Calvin...
