Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"From Gucheng to Fengyang, then to Xing'an, and then to Xiangyang, Nanjing, Huaiyang, and Yanzhou, the latest information is gathered together. Uncle, what do you think?"

In the dead of night, Uncle Lang stood in front of two lamps, each of which was extravagantly lit with two wicks. The brightness in the room was not enough for Zhang Shouren, but it was already a bit dazzling for people at that time.

If you don't accept it, look at the festival hall in the center of Taiping Town, except for the stars in the sky, the few solitary lamps are all dim yellow. Zhang Shouren is very suspicious, how can you see things and read with such brightness?

It is now the end of February in the 13th year of Chongzhen, and it will be March in a blink of an eye. According to the Gregorian calendar of later generations, it is already April. There are also a lot of rapeseed here in Huguang. Riding out during the day, the rapeseed has bloomed, but there are no elders. Fresh, tender and delicious... Zhang Shouren can't help jumping off his horse to pick a few plants to try something new. Of course, he wants to ask the soldiers to give him money...

There is no small matter in military discipline, and as a general, he must lead by heart and body, but he really can't forget the taste and taste of his childhood. [

How a person from Shandong, especially from Jiaodong near the sea, likes to eat rapeseed flowers is really hard for his subordinates to understand. Everyone is more interested in this thing. If you want to say that you really miss it, it is still in the sea The food is good. In spring and summer, all kinds of seafood begin to become fat, and the poor don’t pay much attention. They pile up stones and start roasting them with charcoal fire. The roasted fat comes out and the aroma is overflowing. So beautiful.

Such comments are actually worth noting to the coach... This shows that his subordinates already have strong homesickness.

Calculated from October 12, Chongzhen began to prepare and mobilize to go on the road. Now it is March 13, a full five months have passed, and even if we start the journey home now, it will be summer at the earliest before we can return to Fushan.

"My son knows how to crawl..." Many times, there was a flash of tenderness in Zhang Shouren's heart. It was the first time for him to have his own blood inheritance in two lifetimes. It would be false to say that he didn't want to, how could he not?

But when it comes to official business, his tenderness and tenderness are thrown far away. Even now, there is a jug of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of cucumbers under the two lamps. Looking at the information delivered in a hurry, it seemed relaxed, but the topics of conversation under the lights and the attitudes of the two were relaxed and extremely serious.

"A big net..." Hearing Zhang Shouren's question, Lin Wenyuan also sighed dejectedly, stroked his forehead and replied, "It doesn't feel good, it seems that many people are plotting against us."

"Can it succeed?"

Lin Wenyuan smiled: "Isn't that a dream? We can still tell these sour scholars to forget about it. But my lord, the state affairs are like this, they still calculate like this, and after all, they still put self-interest first... Pooh, it's my fault Before, they respected Qingliu, scholars like them, but now, what is the difference between them and relatives and eunuchs? It's just a nice word!"

"The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River manipulate public opinion. There is indeed a discrepancy between words and deeds."

Zhang Shouren also sighed that what he knew in later generations was completely inferior to what is heard in this world. The famous scholar-bureaucrats in the south of the Yangtze River and the famous literati in the later generations were all masters in the south of the Yangtze River who had fertile land and lived a carefree life. They were indeed masters in learning Experts each have their specialties, but when it comes to practice, they are all caught blind. Not only that, there are many paranoid and ignorant ones, and those who start from the party's self-interest are everywhere. Countless.

"Zhang Pu went to Fushan to pull people, should the Military Intelligence Department stop him?"

"No, he's good to go." Zhang Shouren smiled, full of confidence in his smile: "If Chen Zilong is such a fast-moving guy, what good should I keep him?"

"Liu Zeqing's troops went north and cut off my way out of Denglai. The Huaiyang salt merchants restored the sites of Jinan and Dongchang, and the Laiwu Iron Mine would not be able to keep it. What they did was nothing more than grabbing the site. It is really shameless It's the best."

"Scholar bureaucrats are just like this, so don't worry about them. Now Donglin's plan is that I will go north and fall into the mud pit, Yang Sichang will fall into the mud pit in Huguang, Zhou Yanru will take advantage of the situation, and go to the capital as the head and assistant... It's a good plan."

"Daming's officialdom is like this. It's all trying to tear down the stage for itself. No wonder the state affairs are getting worse day by day."

"It's inevitable for officials to dismantle each other. The most important thing is that the emperor himself has to make up his mind and not be led by the nose...but our present is a model of ambition and talent."

Uncle Lang and the two chatted, Zhang Shouren simply didn't shy away from anything, and said whatever came to mind.

Now his expression is also very relaxed and relaxed. Recently, he is training in Huguang, and the arrangement in Shandong has been arranged a long time ago... Now he is waiting for the result, and judging from the summary of various information, the whole world is under control in the feeling.

From the natural disasters in Henan to the war situation in Huguang, as well as the military preparations in Sichuan and Xing'an, Shaanxi, the military equipment in Fengyang and Anqing, the official situation in Nanjing, the situation in Zhunyang and Yanzhou, the trends of Donglin and Fushe, The movements of the imperial court and so on... With all these in his hands, how the whole world works, and where this chart is going, he is also very clear in his heart. [

Why did the Ming Dynasty fall and how did it go to extinction? What happened between Chongzhen's ten years and 17 years? Zhang Shouren's mind was clear with all the information he had obtained, and the general situation of the world, like a clearly compiled map, had already shown the panorama in his mind.

How to take the next step, how to see the walking steps, is also clearly thought out.

Don't go to Songshan, don't go!

The fall of the Ming Dynasty, in the finances, in the court, in the officials, in the eunuchs, in the emperor, in the generals... In short, everything is wrong, all the screws are not installed in the correct place, so this carriage is going wobbly Huang, now he is rushing towards the edge of the cliff, at this time, even if he can stop him, he won't stop... Why?

These bastards are trying to ruin the country one by one, and the emperor is not a good bird. Although Chongzhen tried his best to save money, why didn't he think about messing with the clan?Zhang Xianzhong broke Xiangyang and distributed 50 yuan in silver to the people a day. Li Zicheng won more than one million gold and silver when he broke Luoyang. There are dozens of families at the princely level, hundreds at the county king level, and the town general level. There are thousands of families, and the entire clan has 10 people, all of whom beat the people to the bone, causing the whole world to hate. He always said that the people are all my sons, and they will reappear on their faces after death... This hypocrisy, why did he not think of it? Do you want to restrain the clan and suppress eunuchs?

In addition, the clan, generals, generals, and gentry are all vampires attached to this country. When Henan was thousands of miles away, the imperial court had negotiated the matter of increasing the levy and training salary in the past two years. Officials regardless of the north and the south never said that they would add a tax to themselves.Anyway, it’s a dead friend who doesn’t die a poor man, so just say a few more compassionate words to sell yourself...

Zhang Shouren saw all kinds of evils in his eyes, and his heart was already clear.

No wonder the Ming Dynasty didn't have the ZTE Four Marshals like the Southern Song Dynasty... There is no such soil at all!

Now that the big tree is about to die, the thing to do is to promote new shoots after it dies, not to prune and prune it... It's no good.At least in Zhang Shouren's view, under the current system, even if he led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to change the battle of Songshan, which was a life-and-death decisive battle for the Ming Dynasty, it would only make Chongzhen linger for a few more years. The demise of the dynasty is inevitable, and it is inevitable that there is no possibility of redemption.

He is not a party member of the system, but the system is indeed a hurdle that cannot be bypassed...

To put it bluntly, he was ready to do it himself...

"If we can go to Songshan..." Lin Wenyuan is the intelligence chief, and now the imperial court's act of gathering troops to Songshan is very obvious. An unprecedented decisive battle is about to break out, and it is false for him not to be concerned.
