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

Chapter 235 Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Jianwu two years.

end of February.

The first spring of the Ming Dynasty ended successfully.

A total of 418 tribute scholars were admitted this time, which is already close to the 449 tribute scholars in the third year of Shunzhi (three of them were tribute scholars who failed to pass the palace examination in the 16th year of Chongzhen).

However, this is not really a case of letting the Ming Dynasty Center let loose. On the contrary, the Ministry of Rites has specifically increased the difficulty.

After all, it has been a year since the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. People's hearts have been determined and the foundation has been established.

Even the false reputation of Qing Dynasty will be abolished, and there is no need to engage in such small tricks to win people's hearts.

Even so, the number of admitted students is higher than that of Denki Enke before.It can be seen how many people came to refer to it, and there must be a lot of people with real materials.

It is worth mentioning that the number of students admitted to the Mingshu Science and Technology Department this time unexpectedly reached 98, which is almost double the minimum number of 50 students set by Zhu Yijiong.

It seems that the previous list of Enke's Jinshi was specially published in Di Bao, and it was indeed effective.

There will always be some people who are not good at writing articles and will take the Mingsu subject. As long as they pass it, more scholars will be encouraged to get in touch with Mingshu, that is, mathematics.

Mathematics is the foundation of natural science, and any science is inseparable from mathematics.

As long as mathematics is promoted and developed in China, Zhu Yijiong can try to add other subjects, and it is not impossible to even directly set up a science department specifically to place such talents.

But this is all a matter for the future, and the focus now is still on competing with the Manchus for power.

……

Guilin.

Lin Jun was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. He stood outside the city gate and refused to go in.

This horse is also a Mongolian horse from the north, with a shoulder height of up to 1.5 meters and a strong body. Even among Mongolian horses, it is considered top-grade.

On the side, Su Wenze, the left prime minister of Dai Viet Kingdom who was accompanying the army to serve as a staff, came forward and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you enter the city?"

"...enter the city."

Lin Jun ignored him and was silent for a moment. Then he pulled the reins and slowly entered the city from the road lined by the army.

The outside of the city was fine. Even though it was a battlefield, it was still cleaned up.

Entering the city, you can see stains of blood everywhere, and the corpses of countless dead Qing soldiers and civilians are being gathered and burned by their soldiers.

This is a necessary measure. Burying it on the spot will last for that time. If it is not burned quickly, a plague may easily break out.

In ancient times, wherever the army went, plague would be brought.

There were no cases of women being raped in the street. This is not to say how good the military discipline of Lin Jun's Dai Viet Army is, but simply because he, the Dai Viet King, has entered the city.

No matter what happens, you have to give some face and be calm.

However, Lin Jun's face was still gloomy and terrifying.

Just look at the tragic situation in Guilin City, you can vaguely hear the moans of the people, and there are fires burning corpses.

The capital of Guangxi was defeated, but it was also completely destroyed.

Lin Jun thought that this attack on Guangxi would be easy.

The first game in Wuzhou was also very honorable. He scored in one fell swoop and gave him a good start. It also greatly enhanced the confidence of Lin Jun and his soldiers.

Lin Jun, who had conquered Wuzhou, immediately adopted Su Wenze's advice and planned to go all the way to Guilin along Pinglefu.

Once Guilin is established, the whole of Guangxi will be able to pass on the emblem.

Unfortunately, the actual development was beyond everyone's expectations.

Not to mention Guilin, just one Pinglefu caused Lin Jun's army to lose several teeth.

In the entire Pingle Mansion, Lin Jun almost conquered one city after another.

If it weren't for the small number of troops left in these cities and the fact that everyone was trying to clean up their own troubles, Lin Jun would have been defeated long ago.

Why did the rebel surnamed Zhu go all out, and even the Qingguo surrendered?When it was his turn to rebel, he would defend the city to the death, even committing suicide when the city was breached.

Including Kong Yuxun, the governor of Guangxi in Guilin, not to mention the other officials of all sizes who died in the city.

Although he had no intention of saving these people's lives, whoever allowed these people to resist him ended up dragging him down below Guilin for a month, causing him to run out of food and grass and suffer heavy losses.

Even if these people are willing to surrender, he has to kill them to vent his anger, not only to vent his anger, but also to vent his anger to the soldiers below.

But killing oneself and these people taking the initiative to commit suicide are two different things. While Lin Jun felt angry, he also felt a sense of frustration for no reason.

Is King Talin really that bad?
They both have three legs and two arms, what’s the difference?
Just because that guy is a descendant of Zhu Ming from Lao Shizi.Of course, there are reasons for this, but the root lies in King Lin himself.

Although Lin Jun has become the king of the establishment, he is still the same as before. He has a rogue mentality and robs when there is not enough food.

Well, Lin Jun has also given many orders, but many of them followed Lin Jun and raised troops to follow him until now.

Why do you, King Lin, become the king, but you don't allow your old brothers to get rich? And if you punish them for such trivial matters as robbery, it will inevitably make your tribe resentful.

To put it bluntly, Lin Jun now is somewhat similar to Li Zicheng in the past.

Lin Jun took the risk to become the king, which was driven by ambition, but he also had the intention of being coerced by his followers.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about Guangxi?"

Seeming to see that Lin Jun was discouraged, Su Wenze immediately said: "Now that Guilin has fallen, and the puppet Qing governor Kong Yuxun has committed suicide in fear of crime, the king should put together a piece of paper at this moment, and the whole of Guangxi will be at your fingertips. By then, the king will be in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi, and all he has to do is select talents. Appointing capable officials, regulating officials, organizing households and people, and encouraging farming and mulberry farming, these two Guangdong provinces are not without their status as emperors."

After all, Lin Jun had experienced many defeats. After hearing this, he regained his confidence instantly and nodded: "That makes sense. This dragon chair can be used by those bullshit Tatars and people named Zhu. Why should I, King Lin, sit on it?" No?"

King Lin?
How could anyone claim to be so?
"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Su Wenze was a little speechless, but did not say a word to remind him. He only said: "One more thing. Your Majesty, do you still remember the invitation from the puppet Qing envoy years ago to send troops with Vietnam in the spring of this year to fight against the puppet Ming Dynasty. It is almost the third day of Yangchun. Yue, I don’t know what should I do in Vietnam? Please tell me, Your Majesty.”

Lin Jun snorted coldly: "Huh! Don't pay attention to the Pseudo-Qing Tatar. If we don't beat him, he will be lucky. How dare you order us? Do you really think that we are his dog slaves?"

"What the king said is absolutely true." Su Wenze handed over his hand, noncommittal.

He just asked casually, after the battle in Guangxi, Guangdong no longer had much strength, and money and food were already insufficient, so it could only rely on looting and oppression.

At the moment, the first thing is to spread the word across Guangxi, and take advantage of the opportunity of the Puppet Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty to attack each other, to quickly digest the territory and restore people's livelihood.

Su Wenze had heard the story of the Three Kingdoms.

Nowadays, the pseudo-Qing Dynasty is the "Cao Wei", the Ming Dynasty is the Sun Wu, and the own Yue is the "Shu Han".

Let's call this "Cao Wei" and that "Sun Wu" dog bite dog first, and I, the "Shu Han", can just sit back and reap the benefits.

……

The first year of Yongzheng.

Spring in March.

Wuchang Mansion.

Many private merchant ships were forcibly recruited by the government and parked at Hankou Pier together with the warships of the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing Army.

A large number of organized Qing troops set off from Wuchang in batches. Only a few thousand people set off each time. Together with the civilians transporting food, they boarded the Qing warships moored at these docks.

A closer look shows that the armor-wearing rate of these Qing troops has reached [-]-[-]%, and all of them are full of morale and in good shape.

Longkodo had been preparing in Wuchang for more than four months and was finally going to send troops.

But what he doesn't know yet is that he is the only one who is actually sending troops. Guangdong, no, Lin Jun, who is in Guangxi, has already determined that he will not send troops.

Although Yongzheng in Beijing ushered in the change of his reign name, he was not happy at all.

Not only because the world they took over is already in a mess, but more importantly, the north has also determined that it will not be able to go south in the spring of this year as planned.

The reason is simple. Not only did Yongzheng have no money, he also had no food.

From the rush to harvest last year's winter wheat harvest in the north, military rations will not be available until May at the earliest.

Although Huguang is known as the granary of the world, it is already doing its best to support Longkodo's training of [-] troops, plus the relief from the four provinces of Shanhe.

There is no way that the four provinces of Shanhe and Shanhe have not been solved, and they are thinking about destroying Huguang as well, right?
In addition, there was a military disaster in the north last year, so not much winter wheat was actually planted. When the wheat is harvested in April and May, the production will almost certainly be significantly reduced.

The only thing that made Yongzheng happy was that last year's military disaster, famine and additional dispatches had caused a sharp decline in the population of the north.

Not all of them died of starvation, some died of military disasters, and most of them became bandits.

The North is rotten.

Yongzheng is now completely biting the bullet and making a desperate move.Urging the subordinates to prepare food and fodder, and by the way, identify the generals who will lead the army south.

As long as the false Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River can be eradicated, water transportation can be restored. If water transportation is restored, the wealth and food from the south can quickly reach the north through water transportation.

With the support of money and food, the corruption problem in the four provinces of Shanhe can be slowly quelled, and the border problems in the northwest can be dealt with calmly. Even the southwest is no more than a scabies disease.

There is still room for change in everything.
