Thanh Hoa City in summer is like a sea of gold!
It's harvest season, and the continuous rice fields outside Tsinghua City are filled with ears of rice that are about to mature.
In more than half a month, it will be harvest time.
The people who were the first to return to Thanh Hoa City from the mountains and were allocated land and houses through the city lord's palace were carefully taking care of the last period before the crops matured.
Walking on a road with rice fields on both sides.
Chen Qiong did not react with joy. Instead, her face was heavy, filled with endless worries and panic.
In the fields close to the road, the people who were first brought back by him would lower their heads with countless disgust on their faces when they saw him, and carefully stay away from the road.
It’s so disgusting that people hate ghosts!
Chen Qiong rode on horseback and not only sighed, but then silently looked at the man next to him wearing the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Feiyu uniform, as well as the hundreds of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers following him.
When facing the powerful gentry of Qinghua City and the common people hiding in the mountains, he basically has the power to make decisions in front of these people.
But once he no longer faces those people, he is just a surrender monitored and controlled by these people.
And because of all the things he did in Qinghua City, outside Qinghua City, and in the mountains to the west, he could not gain the trust of the people in Qinghua City.
It seems that I have reached a point where I cannot please both sides.
As a result, Chen Qiong became increasingly sad.
The news from Qinghua City did not exclude him. He also had some means to get the news from Qinghua City every day.
Chen Qiong knew everything the emperor's grandson did in Qinghua City. Chen Qiong knew very well what he had done time and time again to win people's hearts and instill the concept of Ming Jiaozhi Road into the minds of the people who returned to the city.
Even if he didn't know it and couldn't get the news through his own channels, the Jin Yiwei Baihu around him would still tell him everything.
Then, every time he told himself, this Jin Yiwei Baihu would calmly observe his face and reaction.
He has become an image of killing people, oppressing the people, and flattering his superiors.
Cochin people are afraid of themselves.
The people of Ming Dynasty look down upon themselves.
Chen Qiong turned back and glanced at the people who were retreating in the fields by the roadside. He clearly heard that those people had called him a terrible devil.
He smiled to himself.
If he is a devil, then the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor who is praised by everyone in Qinghua City and is called the benevolent king is probably the one who can create devils.
"What is Mr. Chen thinking?"
The voices of Jinyiwei Baihu reached Chen Qiong's ears.
Chen Qiong looked at the person outside, and when he saw the other person showing his scrutinizing eyes again, he chuckled this time.
Then, under the puzzled gaze of the Jinyiwei Baihu, Chen Qiong asked: "I heard that the Jinyiwei is divided into the North and South Town Fusi. I wonder if the Baihu is the South Town Fusi or the North Town Fusi?"
Jinyiwei Baihu paused and looked at Chen Qiong calmly: "Since Mr. Chen knows about the North and South Zhenfu Divisions, he should also know that these two divisions have their own responsibilities."...
Chen Qiong nodded and sighed: "Can't I go to Yingtian City to meet His Majesty?"
Baihu shook his head and said: "In my Ming Dynasty, everything is decided by the Holy Spirit. I forgive you for not being able to answer Mr. Chen's question."
"I can't go even if I think about it..." Chen Qiong muttered a little lonely.
Baihu felt that Chen Qiong at this time was still of great use to his grandson.
Then he said: "My great grandson... I, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, focus on inheritance. Mr. Chen has a great talent. Even if the official examination is conducted, he should be placed among the capable officials. Your Highness has the ambition to revolutionize the old and make new things, and the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day. . I think Mr. Chen should know what he should do."
Jinyiwei Baihu felt that he had made his words very clear.
After all, from his own point of view, he did not feel disgusted with Chen Qiong, a member of the Chen Dynasty royal family who betrayed the original Annan. On the contrary, he admired the other person for being the most aware of current affairs.
It's just that the other party is a newcomer after all, and the Central Plains has never been short of surrenders and rebellions. Therefore, the internal evaluation of Chen Qiong in Jinyiwei still requires long-term observation of his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
But under these conditions, Chen Qiong's style of conduct was very popular with the Jinyi guards in Qinghua City.
His methods are clean and neat, and he never hesitates to kill.
It's a talent.
Chen Qiong was slightly surprised, silently glanced at Jin Yiwei Baihu, and then silently cupped her hands in gratitude.
He looked straight ahead on the road, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"We have arrived at Thanh Hoa City. We will go back and wait until I see His Highness, and then we will invite hundreds of households and brothers to have a drink in the city."
When there are no days when people return to the city, the bathing sheds outside Qinghua City will not be hot. If there are people in the city who want to wash up, they can go out of the city and make fire and water for their own use.
On the other hand, the porridge shops in the city are cooking porridge non-stop every day and distributing it to the people who have not yet been allocated land.
The hundred households of the Jin Yiwei looked at Qinghua City, which was deserted and deserted when they first arrived. Now it has a lively atmosphere. They smiled and looked at Chen Qiong: "This situation is also due to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen invited me. I dare not refuse."
Chen Qiong nodded and said no more. Instead, he led several of his attendants, raised his whip and sped up to break away from the entire team and rushed back towards Qinghua City.
…
In the palace of the city lord of Qinghua City.
With the return of the people, the city lord's palace has gradually begun to accept many suitable women to do things like sweeping and sweeping as maids.
The salary offered by the City Lord's Mansion is very attractive.
Two shi of rice per month is enough to make this position a goal pursued by all women.
Therefore, this rule became another reason for the people of Jiaozhi Road to praise and be grateful to the great grandson of the Ming Emperor.
However, in the backyard, only people from the Ming Dynasty were allowed to stay permanently. The people from Jinyiwei still acted as servants, and they would not get an extra salary because of it.
At this moment, in the pavilion teahouse in the back garden.
A rather burly Guard Tiqi in Jin Yi was delivering a tea set into the tea room.
Just when he was about to start cooking tea soup for Taisun and Yan Shizi.
Prince Yan Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes with disgust and waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go down now."...
Tiqi was stunned for a moment, then stood up with his hands and feet slightly aggrieved, bowed and slowly exited.
Zhu Yunxi, who was reading the latest summary of the report compiled by Zhu Gaochi, the Taisun's Army Sima, on the relocation of Qinghua City to the local people and the resettlement of the returned people, silently raised his head and glanced at the Jin Yiwei who had withdrawn aggrievedly, and then looked at the people who had already returned. Zhu Gaochi took the tea set and started cooking by himself.
"Hypocritical."
Facing Zhu Yunxi's ridicule, Zhu Gaochi turned a deaf ear.
While he was busy with the things at hand, he said: "Now our department has accepted a total of 3,672 households of returned people, with a total population of 13,396 people. Each household has less than five people. , according to our department’s estimation of Qinghua City, more than 30% of the people have returned.”
Zhu Yunxi put the report together on the table, patted it and said: "A city has a population of 50,000 to 60,000. In a place like Jiaozhi Road, it can be considered a big city. Your calculations are not wrong."
Zhu Gaochi tilted his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and continued: "Qinghua City is our experimental place to implement the reform of the land and return it to the local people. The people who have returned now are enough for us to enter the next stage of the plan."
Zhu Yunxi agreed and said casually: "Then let Gao Yangzhi and the others send manpower over. Since these Jinke Jinshi and national imperial officials are willing to go south with the army, naturally we cannot let them all stay in Changhua County."
"I think so too." Zhu Gaochi agreed and said, "But the pre-job training and assessment you mentioned last time, especially the ideological training, I think are very important.
Yes, they must be made clear about what they need to do after coming to Jiaozhi Road, and how they should do it. "
Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at Zhu Gaochi: "You are the Sima of our army, you can arrange these things."
Zhu Gaochi snorted.
Then he looked at Zhu Yunxi with his eyes raised, and said quietly: "Should we also transfer Gao Yangzhi? Qinghua City will become Qinghua Prefecture. I think you have already chosen Gao Yangzhi for the position of Qinghua Prefecture." .”
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "He is the top scholar of Enke in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign. If I hadn't pressed him down, he would be doing noble work in the Hanlin Academy. He would be able to wait for two years. Go to various ministries and departments of the imperial court to be a doctor.
Now, in a newly conquered place like Jiaozhi Road, being an inexpensive magistrate was aggrieved to him. "
Zhu Gaochi curled his lips.
The last thing Zhu Yunxi said was that he didn't believe it at all.
He hummed again and again, with an ambiguous expression on his face.
He hummed and said: "The laws of the Ming Dynasty are directly under the jurisdiction of all the magistrates outside Yingtian Mansion. They are registered in the imperial court with the fourth rank, hold the rank of Zhongxian Dafu, and are awarded the Yin Xun of Zhongxian. They are in charge of the land of a mansion, ten thousand households, and have jurisdiction over the local government. Soldiers, punishments, and gifts are all in the hands of one person. Even the first person in the Ren Heng Dynasty to own the No. 1 Scholar Archway had never had such a start. Now that Gao Yangzhi is made the prefect of Qinghua Prefecture, how can he be considered wronged? "
Zhu Yunxi put his arms on the table, his palms dragging his cheeks, tilting his head and staring at Zhu Gaochi with a strange expression.
Zhu Gaochi frowned, then reluctantly put down his work, raised his hands to express surrender: "I didn't say I had any opinion on this matter. I was just wondering if you have made up your mind, not just on Jiaozhi Road. To carry out the reform of the land and return it to the local people, and to circulate goods. But also to use Gao Yangzhi to influence the chief seal officer of the Ming Dynasty's Yamen, must he have experience in the state capital? "...
Zhu Yunxi looked puzzled: "Why do you think so?"
Zhu Gaochi reached out and lowered the flames under the kettle a little so that the hot water could boil more slowly, and then he said slowly: "Walking in the Wenhua Palace."
Zhu Yunxi's brows suddenly raised.
He blinked and motioned for Zhu Gaochi to continue.
Zhu Gaochi sighed softly: "If...if I am not wrong, you are preparing for the future by letting Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji, and Tie Xuan walk in the Wenhua Palace.
Since last year, you have allowed three of them to enter the palace to act as counselors and counselors. This is paving the way, and letting them all have the experience of going to places in the past is also paving the way.
If my guess is correct, as long as I wait for a few more thoughts, even I may have to change my name to "Grand Bachelor" when the three of them walk in the Wenhua Palace. "
The term "maester" has existed since ancient times, but sometimes the specific words are different.
For example, Bao Zheng, a direct scholar of Longtuge in the former Song Dynasty, was known as Bao Longtu.
Zhu Yunxi fell silent. He had never discussed this matter with Zhu Gaochi because everything was just a bud and had not been specifically prioritized for advancement.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and saw no other reaction from him, so he continued: "They have local experience, and they have the experience of being counselors in the government and state affairs. I can easily think that you want to go from another direction. To restore the status of prime minister in the former Tang and Song Dynasties.
If all of this is correct, a scholar like Gao Yangzhi, who is a top scholar with a background in psychology, still carries the title of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Now he started in the state capital, and in the future he will be a bachelor in your circle. "
Zhu Yunxi did not admit or deny it.
Instead, he said: "According to your guess, what are the pros and cons of doing this."
Zhu Gaochi finally stopped at this time.
He felt that his guess was correct.
"If this thing is really done, there will naturally be drawbacks. Powerful ministers are a problem that cannot be circumvented. As long as someone reaches that position and has selfish motives, powerful ministers with power will appear in the Ming Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil. the root of."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "What are the benefits?"
Zhu Gaochi then replied: "The descendants of future generations will not be able to come here even if they want to."
It is rare for everyone to be as talented as the emperor's grandfather, even uncle Ru and your descendants. If there are indeed some of these measures, it can at least ensure the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's decree and prevent the world from falling apart in vain because of one person's decision-making. "
"How to perfect this move?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Zhu Gaochi blinked hesitantly and looked at Zhu Yunxi. After a long time, he spoke again: "Supervision must make them feel awe in their hearts. Imperial power, the Ming emperor has supreme power. Military power, the king must have control over the armored soldiers in the world. I even think that Wuying Palace should be opened. People's sentiments, judging from the recent administration of Qinghua City, people's sentiments are the foundation for maintaining long-term peace and stability here. As long as the people's sentiments remain unchanged, there will be women in the court who are sycophants, and my family can still stand. It won’t fall, it’s as stable as a mountain.”
"It's difficult."
Zhu Yunxi sighed.
Political management, from ancient times to the present, and even in the future, has never been a perfect system. ….
Because the rule of man determines that politics is conducted based on human will.
And humans are the most complex creatures in the world.
Zhu Gaochi sighed in a low voice: "Since the Emperor Zhou in the 800th century, there has been no emperor in the world for nearly a thousand years. After all, one generation has to do the work of the other."
Woohoo.
The spout of the kettle began to whimper.
Zhu Gaochi's face was overjoyed and he smiled: "The water is ready."
"To your grandson and prince, Chen Qiong is here."
…
"My lord, Chen Qiong, I made a mistake when I summoned the people. I came here to plead guilty to your highness and ask your highness to punish me."
In the tea room, Chen Qiong, who had rushed all the way back to Qinghua City from the mountains, but did not take a moment to rest, walked into the city lord's mansion with a dusty face, passed through the reception hall and entered the tea room, then knelt on the ground and apologized solemnly. .
The tea soup brewed from the just boiled water was a bit hot to the mouth, so Zhu Yunxi drank the tea very slowly, and he only glanced at Chen Qiong lightly.
Next to him, Prince Yan and Sima Zhu Gaochi of Taisun's army were sitting upright, holding a thick book in their hands, their eyes slightly lowered and their lips moving slightly.
"A few months ago, Zhu Quan, the general of the forward battalion of our headquarters and king of Ning in the Ming Dynasty, led three thousand troops across the river and captured Langshan Pass. The general led the Chinese army to Langshan Pass."
"The next day, when the fire at Lang Son Pass was extinguished, the general of the forward battalion refused to rest and led his troops forward again to pursue the enemy's deserters. For a total of five days, he killed two thousand enemies and captured more than three thousand. The general's central army tent was set up. Outside Lang Son City."
"Three days later, the army was rested and reorganized. The general marched forward with all his troops. The rebel Chen Yuan Dan's front army was defeated and collapsed. Lang Son City was captured by the general. In this battle, the general's troops killed half a million enemies and captured more than 10,000. They rebelled against Chen Yuandan's troops and pushed them to Liangjiang City, using the river as a danger to resist the general's advance route."
Chen Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, was already sweating profusely.
Such a frontline military intelligence report did not need to be discussed when he had just returned to the city. Then there is only one possibility, and that is to say it specifically to yourself.
In this military intelligence report, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty is a heavenly soldier, and Chen Yuandan, who is an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, has been identified as a traitor. When the Annan rebel army commanded by Chen Yuandan faced the Ming Dynasty army, it collapsed and was defeated.
Chen Qiong no longer dared to imagine how angry, anxious and defeated Chen Yuandan, who was on the front line of Liangjiang City, was now, but had no good plan to retreat.
I am afraid that after Chen Yuandan was lost at Langshan Pass, he had already written to inform the Ming Dynasty that everything in Annan was done by Li Jisou, and that both he and Annan Chen Chao were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Just thinking about it, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, who was the general who conquered the south, would not listen to a word.
The Ming Dynasty was occupying pieces of land in Annan with an invincible attitude, turning them into Ming Dynasty's Jiaozhi Road territory.
This was the subtext that Chen Qiong heard from Yan Shizi's voice at this moment.
As a result, Chen Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, had her face closer to the ground and her butt raised higher and higher.
"Fifteen days ago, the General of the Forward Battalion led his troops to the west and occupied Taiyuan City (the name before Taiyuan City on Jiaozhi Road was not found). Xuanhua City on the west side did not fight.
And descend. The forward battalion will march eastward from the *** road and make a surprise attack on Liangjiang City. The battle will be decided in one battle. The general attacked from the front and cooperated with both sides. The rebellious Chen Yuandan was defeated and more than half of his subordinates were lost. He retreated to Daluo City and defended by the river. He recruited local strong men to strengthen the army, hoping that he might not retreat and stay with the city. "
Annan is finished.
Completely finished.
Chen Yuandan no longer retreats, he has no way out.
The Ming Dynasty has reached outside Daluo City, the capital of Annan. Where else can Chen Yuandan go?
Hiding westward in the mountains and forests?
I heard that Xiping Hou Muying, who was originally in charge of Yunnan Road in the Ming Dynasty, had burned the territory of the Lao tribe to ashes.
Can Chen Yuandan escape to the west and defeat Xiping Hou Muying?
southward?
That's even more impossible.
The 20,000 Ming troops here in Qinghua City are responsible for shutting down the city and beating the dogs. The Ming troops now occupying Qinghua City have blocked the last way for Chen Yuandan to escape south.
"The general sent a message to Thanh Hoa City. Anyone who encounters rebels going south will be killed without mercy. Thanh Hoa City will not let anyone go south."
Chen Qiong was lying on the ground, and the sweat on his face soaked the floor.
There are no vigorous battles, no epic battles.
Annan has become an ink character in history, and from now on there will only be the Ming Jiaozhi Road.
What about yourself?
As a member of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, what will happen if Annan surrenders?
Chen Qiong raised his head with beads of sweat on his face and saw the emperor's grandson staring at him calmly.
His heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
"I congratulate the imperial court on the success of the war. The rebellion in the Jiaozhi Road is about to be eliminated. The country is peaceful and prosperous. I bow my head and am willing to be a lackey. I only hope that the emperor's grandson will show mercy."
At this moment, Chen Qiong lost all her reserve and lost all dignity.
