Seeing this scene where the emperor and his ministers were like teachers and friends, Dong E, Mang Yitu, and Leerjin, the three good servants of the Qing Dynasty, felt that the Qing Dynasty's system was really not good! The people below can only kowtow and be slaves, and the emperor above is praised very highly. He is obviously of average appearance, and he thinks he is a rare holy king in ancient times... The man in front of him is wearing ordinary clothes. The emperor who wears blue collar and Confucian uniform is the real sage!
Thinking of this, the three people hurriedly took a few steps forward, then knelt down together and performed three bows and nine kowtows, saying something like: "Slaves Dong'e, Le'erjin, Mang Yitu... I sincerely wish your Majesty the Emperor a long life!"
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded: "Pingshen, Pingshen, I don't have that kind of kowtow ceremony here. I don't have to kowtow every time I see you in the future, and I don't have to call myself a slave. I just need to call myself a minister."
There is no longer a slave to be a servant!
Dong E, Le Erjin, and Mang Yitu thought it was not good to be slaves just now, but now they suddenly felt a sense of loss.
The three of them were "family-born slaves" of the Qing Dynasty, and they were slaves after they were born... What an honor! But now there are no slaves left to serve as, how can we not be disappointed?
When the three liberated slaves were missing, Zhu Heji had already seen Xue Zhang, a handsome "dog official", so he smiled and said to Xue Zhang: "Xue Taishou (Prefect is the honorific title of the prefect, Zhu Heji has just met him) When Xue Zhang was in power, he was the prefect of Chaozhou), you don’t need to make any big gifts, we are old acquaintances!"
"Foreign Minister Xue Zhang, respectfully greet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Heji chuckled and said, "Come here, bring a chair for Prefect Xue, Dong E, Leerjin, and Mang Yitu... all sit down!"
Xue Zhang breathed a sigh of relief - he still had some issues with Zhu Heji, and he was still a little worried about being killed by Zhu Heji.
However, his old subordinate Fengmingshan is now in a prosperous situation. He has already served as an inspector, and he is also the first inspector in the Ming Dynasty! He even arrested the Ming Emperor, who would dare to disobey him? No matter whether you are a robber or a member of a gang, you will tremble when you hear Feng Jiantai's name.
Therefore, in any province under the Ming Dynasty that had poor public security, Feng Zhitai would be transferred to that province to rectify public security, and it would be effective!
Through this incident, all knowledgeable people in the world admire Zhu Heji's magnanimity. Of course Xue Zhang admires him very much, otherwise he would not dare to come.
But when it comes to fear...it's still a little bit. But in order to maintain his position under Wu Guogui, he still had to go through this. He has to achieve results. Although it is unlikely that he will get the last part of one million, there must be an explanation for what Wu Guogui and Wu Yingxiong will do in the future, right?
Now looking at Zhu Heji's attitude, it is obvious that he will not pursue the past, so Xue Zhang is completely relieved.
Of course Zhu Heji would not let anyone chop Xue Zhang into pieces. Firstly, his soul did not have so much hatred for Xue Zhang... Secondly, Zhu Heji really needed to hold on to Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui. dog. .
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he needed suitable people who could act as the eagle dogs of the Ming Dynasty, and go outside to bite people, conquer territory, and guard the territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Not all territory depends on these hawks and dogs, but there are many territories in this world that are "tasteless" and tasteless to eat, but you can't give up... If you give up the tasteless territory, it will be taken by others. Eat it, and when the people who eat these useless things get stronger, those rich territories will suffer!
In the history of Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of suffering from giving up "tasteless" items!
But Zhu Heji couldn't eat all the "tasteless" things. The cost of governance would be too high and the country would go bankrupt sooner or later.
So he needs someone to be a hawk, and after establishing a territory, he will stay in the local area and take root. In this way, the management cost will be low - this is actually a feudal system!
But who can be such a released hawk?
A person who is upright, kind, and has a mother's heart will definitely not be able to be a hawk. Anyone who can be a hawk must be a very bad person. Because Zhu Heji doesn't need a pet dog to watch eagles. What he wants is an eagle dog that can break the old order that he is not satisfied with...that is, a bad eagle dog that causes destruction!
Wu Yingxiong is very bad, Wu Guogui is also a villain, and Dong E, Le Erjin, and Mang Yitu, the three slaves who sell their goods for a living, can tell at a glance that they are not good people.
These guys have the potential to cause havoc and become eagle dogs!
Of course, the eagle dogs left outside still need to be tied up with iron chains to prevent them from biting people everywhere. And this chain is the new order of Confucianism!
After the eagles and dogs have done their damage and smashed the old order, Confucianism can go in and preach with swords, and establish a new order.
If there were no eagles and dogs to cause damage, the Confucian sect would have to encounter the old order that had developed in the local area as soon as it entered... The Confucian sect disciples would not be able to attack the local feudal lords and religious leaders at the same time.
But if there are only eagle dogs that disrupt and watch the show, but no Confucianism to establish order, the eagle dogs will combine with the local religious P and gradually be assimilated by them.
At this time, Zhu Heji had already finished reading Dong E's "Reducing the List"... The writing is good, and he has a deep understanding of the Qing Dynasty's slave system. I don't know who ghostwrote it?
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji had already closed the surrender watch and handed it to Yan Yuan. Then he smiled and said to Dong E, Leerjin and Mang Yitu: "I told you, even if Kangxi comes to participate in the uprising, I also welcome the restoration of the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty! So the three of you can rest assured that I welcome you to join, and I will not deprive you of your military rights... You can continue to lead your respective teams. But you have to put your war horses, Leave the artillery and muskets to me, and you can keep the other weapons. In addition, if you are short of food supplies, you can talk to Yu Xiaoqian and Qiu Hu.
As for the official positions of the three of you, let’s start working on them one by one as general soldiers! "
When the three of them heard this, they quickly got up from their chairs, kowtowed to Zhu Heji, and shouted long live the mountain.
This time Zhu Heji did not stop them, but waited for them to finish kowtowing. He said a few more words of encouragement. Only then did Yu Xiaoqian and Qiu Hu accompany them back to Wulin Camp, and then they worked out a way to change the formation of the troops.
After they left, only Zhu Heji, Yan Yuan and Xue Zhang were left in the lobby.
"Prefect Xue," Zhu Heji said to Xue Zhang with a smile, "Is Wu Guogui preparing to withdraw? Does he want to take Wu Yingxiong with him? Or..."
As he spoke, he made a beheading gesture.
He asked again: "Also, what arrangements does Zu Zeqing of Guangxi plan to make?"
Xue Zhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Guogui still remembers Wu Sangui's great kindness. Moreover, Wu Yingxiong is good at serving as subordinates and has won the hearts of the people. It is not easy...
As for the ancestor Zeqing of Guangxi, his name was Zhou Chen, but he was actually a king. If the Holy One wants to conquer them, all he needs is an imperial edict. "
"What if there is no such imperial edict?" Zhu Heji asked with a smile.
The imperial decree to confer the title of "King of Guangxi" to the ancestor Zeqing will never happen in this life!
Because in Zhu Heji's eyes, Zu Zeqing is also a vicious dog that can be released to bite people!
Want to stay in Guangxi forever... no way!
"This..." Xue Zhang thought for a while, "He shouldn't have the guts to offend Tianyan, right?"
"I don't dare to measure him!" Zhu Heji paused and changed the subject, "I'm still short of Wu Guogui's one million silver dollars... Is this okay? Let's give him something to offset the bill!"
Xue Zhang smiled and asked, "I wonder what the Lord wants to give?"
Zhu Heji said with a smile: "How about muskets, artillery, and gunpowder? We captured a lot on the Jiangbei battlefield, but we don't want to take advantage of it. Why not give them all to General Wu... He is also one of my own. We may not be able to collect a hundred." Ten thousand, whatever the difference is, I’ll make up the difference in cash.”
After hearing what Zhu Heji said, Xue Zhang was even more impressed!
This emperor is indeed a king who keeps his word, which is rare in ancient times!
Before Zhu Heji finished speaking, he went on to say: "Prefect Xue, tell him again and leave when the last part is collected, and take Wu Yingxiong back to Yunnan with you!
In addition, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan can be handed over to them for the time being. Yan Yuan, you should immediately draft an imperial edict to make Wu Yingxiong the King of Pingxi and Wu Guogui the General of Pingxi. "
