Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1628 Storm Seven

Compared with Hebei, where the flames of war are visible to the naked eye, the Southwest has fallen into a war without gunpowder, and the reform and reform have entered a new stage.

However, this kind of trouble in the southwest is within the rules, and the weapons have not been used, which has not affected the normal life.

No matter how the game is played above, the life of the people remains the same, horses run and dances continue to dance.

Of course, the game above the imperial court is also very important to ordinary people. After all, the representative of policy involves the well-being of countless people.

On the contrary, the city of Yudu is becoming more and more lively. With the construction of large-scale roads and the smooth water transportation, this city has truly become the center of the southwest.

The nine-story Daming Palace stands in it, like Optimus Prime, subduing the people of Southwest Town.

Daming Palace, eight floors.

Zhaoming Pavilion.

A meeting was in progress, and it was presided over by Mu Jing, all the ministers were present, and the meeting lasted for about an hour.

Mu Jing didn't say much, and it was Hu Zhao who spoke.

As the first prime minister of Ming Dynasty, it is normal for Hu Zhao to support the Zhaoming Pavilion meeting. After all, Mu Jing's status is relatively high.

Today's meeting is naturally also related to the New Deal.

The Privy Council proposed the Recruitment Law to replace the military system of the previous dynasty.

This is a reorganization of the military.

The military is the most stable, and now the sudden proposal of restructuring has surprised many people, especially now that the whole army is still in progress.

Hu Zhao was not intimidated, he thought it was just a smoke bomb at best.

Recently, it has become more and more difficult for Hu Zhao to guess Mu Jing's thoughts, just as it is also difficult for Mu Jing to guess Hu Zhao's position. The monarch and minister who used to work together seem to be going farther and farther on their respective paths.

The final result of the meeting was that it was not passed.

This was not beyond Mu Jing's expectation, he wanted this result, and when he brought it up at this time, it was not Hu Zhao thinking so, but a temptation.

He has considered the recruitment system to replace the military service system of the previous dynasty. He has considered for a long time. The Ming army implemented a policy of elite soldiers, and did not need county soldiers, state soldiers and endemic diseases. They were all central troops, so the practice of military service was somewhat backward.

Of course, he doesn't want to do it overnight, and slowly, there will always be a suitable system that is in line with today's military.

It's really not possible, Mujing still has the Fubing system, but he doesn't like it very much. In his opinion, although the Fubing system and the current military service system are somewhat improved, there is not much difference.

After the meeting, all the ministers filed out.

Xi Zhicai combined some files in his hands, looked at Mujing, and said with a smile: "It seems that the army is better off stabilizing the situation temporarily, Your Majesty, you are in control of the overall situation, it's not that bad!"

"roll!"

Mu Jing cast a glance at Xi Zhicai, and said, "If you're in a hurry, finish what you're doing quickly. Someone else's Zhang Liao has trained elites, and your Privy Council doesn't have a plan for future wars yet!"

"Do not worry!"

Xi Zhicai said confidently: "We have already made the layout in advance. As long as the elite soldiers come out, we can go to war at any time. Of course, it will take a little time to raise the military preparations. We will complete the replenishment of the arsenal and grain depot as soon as possible." !"

"The speed should be faster, and it is better to be prepared!"

Mujing's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said in a low voice: "I always feel that the days of peace are numbered. If we don't attack, they will come to attack me!"

Don't think about waiting until after you have rested before going to war, sometimes it is better to change the plan, Mujing will not think that Cao Cao is a person who can sit still.

If the princes outside lose their opponents, they will go straight to the southwest immediately. For all the princes of the Han Dynasty, the destruction of the Ming Dynasty is a supreme benefit.

"If Guandu has a winner, then this situation is really possible, but Mr. Huang has already gone north to Ruzhou himself. If the Wei army dares to go south, I am looking forward to it!"

Xi Zhicai said with a cold snort.

As far as the main force of the Ming army is concerned, it is indeed in a stage of rest and rectification. It is estimated that the combat effectiveness is less than [-]% or [-]%, so it is the weakest time.

But it is only for a full-scale war, a partial battle, and the Ming army will not be afraid of anyone.

"Keep an eye on it, especially the news about Guandu, don't slow down for a moment!" Mu Jing said, "The Privy Council must be tense!"

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai nodded and walked out.

In the conference hall, Hu Zhao and Cai Yong were still there, and the rest of the ministers had already left, leaving only the three of them.

They looked at each other, and Mu Jing spoke first: "Mr. Hu, let's put the matter of the military system aside for now!"

What he said made Hu Zhao think of countless reasons, and he suffocated in his heart without any chance to say it, as if today's meeting did not exist at all.

"The stability of the place is the blessing of Ming Dynasty!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice: "The new policy is related to the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for me to give in. How can we make the place more stable under the new policy? This is your responsibility as prime ministers!"

"Yes!"

Hu Zhao and Cai Yong nodded, this is not to blame, but the fact that Mu Jing can make great strides forward and promote the New Deal at all costs, isn't it because they are behind to clean up the mess.

"Okay, it's nothing, I'm leaving first!"

Mu Jing left quickly.

After he left, Hu Zhao and Cai Yong came to their senses and glanced at each other. Finally, Hu Zhao opened his mouth and sighed, "It's getting slippery!"

"This is the talent to be an emperor!"

Cai Yong smiled, and said to Hu Zhao: "Hu Xiang, let's not think too much about changing his mind. We have said everything that needs to be said. Everyone has an account in their hearts. He is very clear. I don't want to listen to you, the meaning is already obvious!"

"But I'm afraid that if this continues, Daming will be in turmoil!"

Hu Zhao's eyes were gloomy: "Recently, I have received some news that some local gentry and aristocrats can't bear it anymore, and maybe they will directly force them against them!"

"It's still the same sentence, the Ming Dynasty's army is not chaotic, and the country is still stable!" Cai Yong said: "As long as His Majesty's New Deal does not spread to the army, I will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. As for them wanting to rebel, let them Come, why should Daming be afraid of their rebellion!"

"You are so generous!"

Hu Zhao sighed: "When the situation is chaotic, I am afraid that a single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"No!"

Cai Yong had a different opinion: "The gentry and aristocrats, who cannot represent the common people of Ming Dynasty, are different today. Do you think it is useless for the Department of Education to establish a county school in every county? Maybe it was those who The common people believe what the scholars of the country gentry say, but now, there will be no such situation!"

"Do you think His Majesty has expected it a long time ago!" Hu Zhao heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "At the beginning, when he suddenly put so much effort into education, he would rather delay the expansion of the army and the development of people's livelihood, and build a school with great fanfare. I have long thought that there will be such a day, even..."

Thinking of this, he felt shuddering: "He is simply pushing against them. If he wants to establish a new order, he must break the old order, and only then can a new life be reborn!"

Cai Yong was silent and did not respond, but in his heart, he thought so.

"But in this way, the killing is too much!" Hu Zhao shook his head: "No matter what, I can't let the place fall into turmoil. I plan to change the governors of Hanzhou and Shuzhou!"

Hanzhou is the former Hanzhong, and Shuzhou is the former Shu County. These places have the deepest signs, and the rejection of the New Deal is also very large.

Therefore, Hu Zhao does not intend to condone and raise traitors, and has to resort to thunderbolt methods, so as not to give people the chance to rebel.

"This may not last long. The new policy and the old system will always be in conflict, and the benefits are different, so the conflict is inevitable!" Cai Yong saw it clearly: "Your Majesty is right, we It is impossible to continue following the system of the previous dynasty, so we can only follow the path of decline of the previous dynasty!"

"Why don't I know!" Hu Zhao said: "It's just that His Majesty is too hasty in his actions. He overestimated himself and underestimated the courage of some people, and his interests were damaged. No matter what, there will definitely be people who can't sit still!"

Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to Huang Quan and Zhao Wei!"

"The aristocratic family overwhelms the gentry?" Hu Zhao immediately understood Cai Yong's thoughts.

"It's a moment to be able to suppress it for a while!"

Cai Yong said: "When the new policy is implemented, maybe we can deal with it much easier!"

"How much effort can you make at the Zhengshitang?" Hu Zhao hesitated and asked.

"The old man lifted a rock and hit his own leg. The reform of the Zhengshitang was smooth, but there are too many follow-up things. Make it clear, how to manage local government affairs!"

Cai Yong shook his head: "Your Majesty's restructuring is planned. I was forced to do so. There is still a gap, so the difficulty is even greater!"

"ASAP!"

Hu Zhaodao: "Your Zhengshitang can relax a bit now, but just now His Majesty said that war may appear soon, and the full support of the Zhengshitang will be needed at that time!"

"Ok!"

Cai Yong nodded, expressing his agreement. In a war, the backyard must be stable. How to stabilize the backyard can only be done by the Zhengshitang.

......................................................

Mu Jing hurried back to the ninth floor, sat down, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said helplessly to himself: "Hu Kongming is getting closer and closer!"

There was nothing he could do about running away in such a haste. Hu Zhao was pressing every step of the way and had to slow down. How could he agree.

"His Majesty!"

Not long after, a voice came from outside.

"Come in!" Mu Jing said lightly.

"Guandu thousands of miles secret report!" The secret report personally sent by Jingwu Division's right division commander, Zhao Xin, must be an earth-shattering event of this level.

"Translation!" Mu Jing's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice.

"promise!"

Xin Zhao quickly translated it and handed it over.

The news was sent back by Fei Ge, written in code, with very few words, only a few words of chat: the war has stopped, the week is defeated, and Yuan is dead!

The Battle of Guandu is over.

Zhou Jun was defeated.

Yuan Shao died in battle.

This news made Mu Jing startled for a moment, his expression was a little dazed, and after a while, he came back to his senses: "Yuan Benchu ​​died?"

Although he already had a hunch in this regard, he hadn't received the news for a day, and he still didn't dare to believe that a generation of heroes would eventually return to the battlefield.

"The Zhou army was defeated. How dare King Wei dare to leave Yuan Shao behind? Yuan Shao's death is not unexpected!" Xin Zhao said in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Mu Jing nodded: "It's just that I didn't expect it to be so fast!"

He thought for a while, and said: "Let the front line give me a detailed report on the battlefield, so I can know how Cao Mengde won this battle, and how the Wei army suffered!"

"promise!"

"The army of Zhou has been defeated. Yecheng is the most dangerous place. Tan Zong should be well-informed, but just in case, you should send them a message and ask them to withdraw as soon as possible!"

Mu Jing didn't know that Yecheng was also in a bitter battle, but he could already imagine that Tan Zong and the others were weak after all, and it would not be so easy to stand firm.

Especially once the main force of the Wei army is liberated, no, the main force of the Wei army is not even needed. As long as the Jiangdong army has [-] main forces going north, they can be wiped out.

"Yes!" Xin Zhao nodded.

"Give the news to the Privy Council immediately, and let them take the time to deal with it... Besides!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "Publish the news directly in the newspapers. The recent new policies of the imperial court have made the people a little breathless. Turn your attention and publish the relevant news about the Guandu Battle!"

He still has experience in guiding public opinion.

His time became more and more precious. After all, Cao Cao had won the Battle of Hebei. It was uncertain when he would go south and when he would conscript troops to conquer Ming Dynasty.

Before that, Mujing had to stabilize the interior in order to face the enemy.

"All the papers?"

"Everything must be on the front page!" Mu Jing said.

"Understood!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

"Recently, Yousi is in the local area, is there any news?"

Mu Jing thought for a while and asked.

Jing Wusi is an espionage guard, the left department is external, and the right department is internal. He keeps Jingwu's right side at home, just to make his eyes and ears more transparent.

"Chengdu, Nanzheng, there are people plotting rebellion in those places!"

Zhao Dao said: "Many people who are dissatisfied with the new policy are ready to move. The Household Registration Department liquidated the population in Hanzhou, but outside Nanzheng City, they were suddenly attacked and killed by bandits. Two master registers were killed. These bandits , they should all be from Nanzheng City, those gentry and wealthy people, but they did it very secretly, we can't hold the evidence!"

"Also, in Chengdu, a house caught fire, and a fifth-rank state official died. It should also be because of the New Deal. Someone was demonstrating against the New Deal officials!"

"You are very courageous!"

Mu Jing sneered: "Those who killed me really thought I wouldn't dare to kill them, didn't they?"

"Your Majesty, I will find evidence that they attacked and killed the court officials as soon as possible!"

Xin Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

"How dare you keep alive the work you do with your head in your hands!" Mu Jing shook his head, "If you want people to perish, you have to make people crazy. I want to see what other tricks they have!"
