Chapter 1157 Declaration
On June [-], the tenth year of Wanli, the governor Zhang Jiayin, who had been in Zhejiang for half a month, sent the first telegram to the Forbidden City, asking the emperor what he should do.

Zhang Jiayin knows what he should do. He has always known that in the first year of Wanli, he quelled the Anqing mutiny, and he was the governor of Baoding, Shaanxi, and Xuanfu. Coping with civilians and related military experience.

But the order given to him by the emperor was not to quell any incident, but to maintain the status quo, which was much more difficult than quelling.

But the emperor had stayed in the Tsinghua Garden for a long time and hadn’t returned to the Forbidden City, so that even Qi Qingha’s return to Guihua City, and then to Shahukou’s request to enter Beijing to accept the canonization continued to be delayed. When it was handed over to Tsinghua Garden, the emperor only said that Qi Qingha was waiting at Shahukou, and he had no time to see him recently.

The Ministry of War had no choice but to report the matter to Zhang Juzheng's mansion. This matter was too urgent. In Wu Dui's report, after Qi Jiguang's battle outside the Great Wall, all the ministries in the east had been overwhelmed. The disorganized Khan Court and Qiqingha merged to move to Guihua City.

Khan Ting, whose purpose was unknown, made the guard Dong Yiyuan feel like he was facing an enemy, and wanted to use San Niangzi's armored cavalry to meet them, but worried that they would go out of the city to rebel, so he led half of the Wanli army to set up camp on a flat place fifteen miles east of the city, and then He led the troops to leave an empty camp, and the infantry went back to the trenches under the city to garrison, and personally led thousands of cavalry to camp on the south slope.

Bu Yanbo and Qi Qingha led their troops into the camp without any investigation, and saw that the Ming army was waiting in the trenches below the city. They thought that the Ming army was timid and laughed loudly, and continued to advance westward. As a result, they suffered a large number of casualties when attacking the trenches. Yi Yuan led the hussars to attack from the rear and kicked through the Chinese army. Khan Buyanbo escaped death by leading the cavalry on the right flank. Lower head.

As for the clever Qi Qingha?He didn't want to fight the Ming army at all, and led his headquarters to work on the left wing without any effort. When he saw the Ming army cavalry running out, he ran south and ran all the way to Shahukou...that is, the Ming army returned home. The military rations transported in Huacheng have been delivered, otherwise we will have to taste the power of rockets on the way.

The staff of the Ministry of War were kicked out by You Qi for the first time, and they only entered the mansion for the second time to invite Zhang Juzheng into the palace to discuss with the Empress Dowager Li, but now the Empress Dowager does not work anymore.

Ever since the emperor invested in temples in the southwest in the name of the empress dowager, and the temple property was sent to the palace, the empress dowager's view that the emperor was too young to take on great responsibilities has also been shaken-the emperor will follow what he says, and has a long-term vision beyond ordinary people. It seems that the times have passed changed.

Empress Dowager Li often wondered, if Longqing knew about investing in temples when he was alive, would the imperial court economy not be so difficult?

Empress Dowager Li, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time and influenced the government, finally admitted that her vision may not be able to bring much help to the emperor who is facing a changing situation.

As a result, Wanli received unprecedented treatment. When Zhang Juzheng sought out Empress Dowager Li to discuss the matter, the empress dowager, who was extremely trusting and obedient, not only did not blame the emperor, but also sent eunuchs into Tsinghua Garden to ask him what he meant, and told him to pay attention to his health and drink less.

Master Wanli was flattered.

This world is really strange, the emperor and the proletarian unite, and the queen mother won't let him kneel down.

The emperor who reciprocated the peach blossoms immediately approved Qi Qingha's request and asked him to enter the capital to accept the canonization.

Ever since the news that the emperor was going to issue an imperial edict to punish himself for the southeast incident, countless eyes in the court were staring at Tsinghua Garden. Although not many people could understand why the emperor summoned the people to enter Tsinghua Garden, the direction of the wind had changed.

The Nanyang Army is established in Nanyang, the Western Army is established in Xiyang, the Eastern Army is established in Dongyang, and the Beiyang Army is now on an expedition to the desert to expel the Khan Court. Since Wanli ascended the throne, the good news is like snowflakes in the middle of winter, and the roar of the steam engine makes the output of the world ten times the past. A hundred times the amount of military equipment and civilian supplies has contributed to the prestige of the people of the world.

What the courtiers saw was not only that the emperor was now using a huge amount of domestic currency to reform the social sciences of the world, presided over the construction of unprecedented railway transportation, and used the Long Live Army to join forces with Qi Jiguang's army to fight northward, they also recalled the emperor's cleverness in order to gain military power With tricks, 40 taels of huge sums of money were used to buy out the rare treasures of the Donghuamen Market, to ride the Huode Xingjun in the Forbidden City to shovel snow and punch, and to secretly dig out the completed telegraph network in the Forbidden City.

It is difficult for people to understand the emperor's approach to some things, but from the results it seems that the matter is beneficial. From top to bottom, the court is willing to give the emperor a little more time before evaluating the profit and loss of his actions... Of course, there are personal achievements in this Needless to say, that is Governor Xu of Jin Yiwei who is as fat as Dong Zhuo.

Thanks to him, the factory guards invited Liu Dechang, a master of spearmanship from Beiyang and the instructor of the Beiyang Banner Army's blunderbuss, to teach the cudgel technique.

So everyone was very quiet and refused to make noise about the emperor's private affairs.

These days, the discussions in Tsinghua Park have also achieved some results.

First of all, it is related to the redundant soldiers in Zhejiang. After Ma Wenying and Yang Ting used the second general to inquire about the soldiers who followed him to the north, most of the veterans were willing to go to sea under the premise that the imperial court would give them land after going to sea. Therefore, the emperor decided to Luomuying was edited concisely, leaving [-] elite soldiers still stationed in Luomuying, and the military pay remained unchanged; the remaining [-] were allowed to cross the sea with their families to open up new land for the court, and sent a letter ordering the Sanyang Army to prepare to accept these people.

However, Ding Shiqing, Han Jin, and former governor Wu Shanyan were recruited by the emperor and initially created an organization called the "Junmin Minghui". Wu Shanyan is composed of three people, and the mission is to bring the guards of the West Factory to the southeast, starting from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and select the people who are willing to plead for the people to absorb the meeting, and become a local semi-public grassroots organization similar to Li Lao.

The selection criteria for members is strict, and people from all walks of life must be recruited, but they must not be incumbent officials and wealthy merchants. They also need to be willing to spend their youth to plead for the people like Ding Shiqing. For the time being, three people can go to the local area together with Wang An to select. Absorb into the meeting, and then form an organization by means of observation and promotion after the basic structure is formed.

The monarchs and citizens of each county, state, and government declare that there will be a house as an office location, and a telegraph room must be set up in the back house.

The Xichang guards who are with them will send a small flag to the Minghui. They have no jurisdiction over the common people. It sued the Forbidden City.

The first mission of the three of them is to return to Hangzhou City with the declaration issued by the emperor, and investigate the long-standing problems of Hangzhou City one by one. Telegraph report to the Forbidden City.

As for whether this organization can solve problems, and whether it can really let the people make their voices heard, Wanli actually doesn't really care much about it. What he cares about is this organization.
