Zuo Mengeng is finally going back to China.
As a monarch of a country, he stayed away for more than six months and visited the front line in person. This was absolutely unimaginable in the Ming Dynasty.
But in Xia Kingdom, everyone is accustomed to it.
Just because Zuo Menggeng doesn't care about administrative affairs, his presence or absence will not affect the handling of government affairs.
However, the war has come to an end and the situation has calmed down, and it will be up to him to preside over the digestion of post-war results.
Outside Hanyang City, King Li Hui led his ministers to bid farewell to Zuo Menggeng.
What is even more striking is that almost all the people in Hanyang came out in full force, kneeling on both sides of the road and kowtow to Zuo Mengengen.
Although the new law has stipulated that kowtow is no longer allowed. But the people who had experienced the baptism of war and died a lifetime could only express their gratitude to Zuo Mengeng in this way.
This king of the previous country was far more supported by the Korean people than the king of Korea.
They also don't know if Zuo Menggeng will return to North Korea in this lifetime. So while seeing him off, the cries of reluctance continued.
With the people's sentiments like this, how could Zuo Mengeng not be moved?
"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Although the principle is simple, it is extremely difficult to implement. I hope you will remember today's situation, perform your duties conscientiously, and bring more benefits to the people of North Korea."
From Li Hui down, everyone in North Korea has already been stimulated by the grand scene.
Zuo Menggeng then told Wang Yun: "North Korea is full of waste and needs to be renovated. The political system is not yet mature, so you still need to pay more attention. If there is any disharmony, report it immediately. Don't delay the national affairs."
Wang Yun heard the subtext and quickly promised.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am here to keep an eye on you, so you will be safe."
All the North Korean monarchs and ministers heard the conversation between the two and became cautious. I know that the days after Zuo Menggeng leaves will not be easy.
At the very least, I am afraid it is impossible to live the leisurely life of a scholar-bureaucrat as before.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zuo Mengeng, Hou Xun, Li Banghua and others divided into two groups and embarked on the return journey.
Hou Xun and Li Banghua boarded the ship directly from Hanyang and returned directly to Xia Kingdom.
There are always so many things in government affairs that there is no time to stop. The two heads of ministers have delayed a lot of work and must rush back to deal with it.
Zuo Mengeng wanted to go to Busan first to visit the naval officers stationed there. Then transfer to Jeju Island and finally return to China.
His inspection route has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the military.
There were also many people following his actions, including Zuo Yong, Zuo Hua, and the new generation of North Korean generals such as Li Yuanlao, Zhang Guanhua, and Cui Xiaoyi who were about to report to the military academy.
Li Yuanlao and Zhang Guanhua will go to the military academy to receive further education, and will be reused after they come out.
Cui Xiaoyi and others went to the sergeant school to learn the knowledge that grassroots officers need to master.
Today's Xia Kingdom Military Academy has been separated, and there are two types.
One is the military academy, which trains senior officers above lieutenant colonel, and the content of their studies is mostly strategic;
The other is the non-commissioned officer school, which trains middle and low-level officers in the army.
These people will be the cornerstone of the army.
Although Cui Xiaoyi and others were all famous people in North Korea, it was their first time to join the army, so they could only study in the sergeant school.
In this regard, Xia Jun treated everyone equally and would not give them any preferential treatment because of their status.
This arrangement actually convinced North Korea.
Busan is now very lively, even more prosperous than Hanyang.
Sitting on a good harbor, many economic and trade exchanges between the Xia Dynasty and the Xia Dynasty passed through here, and the exchanges with Japan made this place change and prosper with each passing day.
A sailboat sailed into the port. The man standing on the bow looked like a lion, very powerful.
But his face was pale, and he was obviously not used to sailing on the sea.
Now that he saw land, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The identity of the visitor was enough to shock the world.
"They say that King Xia is young. I saw it with my own eyes today and it is true. I never thought that Huang Taiji would be made to look so ugly by you."
Mang Gurtai sat opposite Zuo Mengeng and was filled with emotion for a while.
This was once one of the four great Baylors of the post-Jin Dynasty, but now it has completely changed its appearance.
He has the same short hair and the same clothes as the Xia people, and there is no difference at all.
Zuo Mengeng was also quite curious about this former powerful general of Houjin and his current subordinate.
Looking at it now, after years of hard work in the far north, Mang Gurtai has become more weathered. Fortunately, he is in good health and is as strong as an ox, which does not reduce the majesty of a warrior.
"I have recruited you this time to further your studies in the military academy. If you want to be a general, you must master more advanced military knowledge. Although you were once a famous general in the world, you must remember that the way our Xia army fights is no longer the same. .If you don’t understand that, you won’t achieve much in the future.”
Regarding Mang Gurtai's arrangement, Xia Jun did not receive any special treatment.
Although he held an important position in the Northward Army, the Northward Army was only a partial division of the Xia Army and was limited in scale. Even if he was exposed to it all day long, what he could learn was completely incomparable to that of a military school.
Therefore, seeing that the time was right, the headquarters issued a transfer order for him to go to Shandong to enter a military academy for further studies.
Both Mangguji and Leng Sengji were very opposed to this transfer order.
They all agreed that this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and cut off Mang Gurtai's wings.
But Mang Gurtai has undergone a transformation, accepted the order calmly, and boarded the sailboat heading south.
If the mind is not stagnant, the scenery will be as bright as the moon.
Sitting opposite Zuo Mengeng, Mang Gurtai was very calm.
"Your Highness, what do you think of Huang Taiji?"
Zuo Mengeng didn't hesitate for a second and opened his mouth.
"He and I are the only heroes in the world."
The short eight words made Mang Gurtai look sideways.
"I can't believe that His Highness has such a high opinion of Huang Taiji."
Everything Zuo Mengeng said was exactly what he thought in his heart and was not false.
"Huang Tai Jixiong is a talented man with great strategies, and he was able to bring the Manchu Qing Dynasty to its current level in a land of four difficulties. Looking at ancient and modern times, there are few who can surpass him."
Putting aside the so-called national prejudice, Huang Taiji's abilities and achievements are indeed worthy of praise.
Mang Gurtai became curious.
"Then, Your Highness, between you and Huang Taiji, who will be the winner in the end?"
Zuo Mengeng smiled boldly, overflowing with domineering power.
"Of course it is me."
"What's the explanation?"
"Times make heroes. No matter how capable a person is, they cannot go against the general trend of the world. Nowadays, I am the person who most conforms to the trend of history, and I am the natural winner."
Mang Gurtai was in a trance. He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand what he said.
However, seeing Zuo Mengeng with his own eyes and appreciating the master's style made him extremely convinced.
Following such a wise master, he would have no hesitation anymore.
