Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 652
During the Chinese New Year in the 18th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen happened to pass by Yangzhou with his army. For this reason, he took a day off in Yangzhou.Therefore, this Chinese New Year in Yangzhou is very different from previous years.

In addition to the food, grass and materials that the local government wants to organize an army, the emperor has come here, of course, to have an audience.When the surrounding people heard that the emperor led the army passing by, they were naturally very curious, and they all rushed over to watch the excitement.

Not only were they not dissatisfied with the emperor's appearance and breaking their New Year's reunion, but they were deeply moved.

"I didn't expect that the majestic emperor would not be able to survive even a year. It is really rare to personally lead the army to suppress the rebellion!"

"No, no matter how powerful the chieftain's rebellion in Yunnan is, it's still in a corner. The emperor is worried about the suffering of the people in Yunnan, and he personally leads the army to conquer. In the past dynasties, there have been several emperors Can you be so considerate of the people?"

"It's not up to you to say that when Yangzhou was hit by floods, the emperor had a strict order and sent the guards to help. Otherwise, many people would have died!"

"When you said that, I remembered again. Since the 12th year of Chongzhen, although our Ming Dynasty was still flooded in the south and drought in the north, the emperor paid the most attention to disaster relief and disaster prevention. He has never heard of mass starvation. thing!"

"..."

This is the emotion of ordinary people. As for those who have read books, whether they are scholars, craftsmen, or others, their focus is different.

"Tell me, what does the emperor look like? Why is the emperor so knowledgeable?"

"Yes, the line of natural knowledge created by the emperor is really simple. How can you know so much! All kinds of knowledge can be said casually, and most of them are things that have never been noticed before, but can be said by the emperor. Make some sense."

"Not to mention, when I first came into contact with those Western Yi monks, I was overwhelmed by their profound knowledge, but I didn't expect that our emperor is the most powerful. What those Western Yi monks know is not as good as the emperor. It's a drop in the bucket!"

"That's right, I'm in ten miles and eight towns, and my strength is here. But when I delve into the emperor's knowledge, I have to feel that my previous knowledge is too shallow. I don't know how many times I have seen the hot water bottle. I never thought that a steam engine could be built according to this principle. I heard that after the prince built the steam engine, the efficiency of the glass factory has been greatly improved, and all kinds of mines use that steam engine. It's all money!"

"As soon as you said that, I remembered that the emperor conferred the crown prince as a master of machines. It's really hard to say! The title of our Daming used to be non-military merit, and the emperor's family was not conferred. Now this set is related to craftsmen. The title, the emperor is obviously not a trifle, as long as it is of great benefit to the people's livelihood, the emperor will never be stingy."

"The people of Daming will benefit in the end. By the way, have you heard about the Yichun Courtyard?"

"Are you talking about our Yangzhou oiran?"

"Yes, I heard that our oirans here in Yangzhou used to compete with each other in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and recite poems, but now, they are still competing with each other in natural knowledge to see who knows more!"

"I also know about this! The customs of our Ming Dynasty used to be our Jiangnan side. Suyang and Yangzhou took the lead and then became popular all over the world. And the customs of Suyang and Yangzhou took the lead in those romantic places. But now I didn't expect that they Everyone has learned this knowledge of nature, thinking that it will be used to attract literati, and it seems that the atmosphere of our Ming Dynasty is really about to change!"

"Haha, that's right, Qinhuai Bayan knows it. I'm talking about the past. I heard that they still have gatherings to discuss the knowledge of nature. Some of them even let it go, saying that they want to be our Daming's number one." And a duchess!"

"Then how is it possible that the emperor will confer the title of a woman? It's impossible!"

"Is there anything impossible? Your Majesty will do things you can't think of, don't do too much! As far as I am concerned, if they can really invent something that has a great impact on people's livelihood, maybe the Emperor will really confer titles on them. Otherwise , before, did you think that the emperor would confer the title of crown prince?"

"That's true, those ladies are all smart people, maybe they can really invent something, ah, if this is the case, I am a scholar, I will be ashamed!"

"..."

Basically, on the Jiangnan side, as Emperor Chongzhen led his troops, discussions like this would reach a climax.Almost all the people, regardless of men, women, old or young, were discussing matters related to the emperor.

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about these public opinions. Instead, he came all the way, paying attention to the situation of the troops in various guards.Although in the past few years, starting from the reform of the Beijing camp, the reform of the guards and troops across the country has also been carried out one after another.However, the situation of the guard troops in various places made him not very satisfied.

The nearly 300-year history of the Ming Dynasty, on the south side, whether it was the Japanese pirate rebellion during the Jiajing period or the rogue disaster a few years ago, all prove that the guard army has completely lost its combat effectiveness.Even if it is only disaster relief and prevention, it has not achieved the expected effect.Probably because these guard troops, after so many years of accumulation, have already rotted away.

It seems that the guard army still needs to make great efforts to rectify.Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and began to think about this matter in his heart.

After spending the New Year here in Yangzhou Mansion, after meeting several officials headed here, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Chongzhen continued to lead the army on the way.

By the time Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, Emperor Chongzhen had already arrived at Yingtian Mansion.

Here, the army rested again, and Emperor Chongzhen received another management team of Ming Dynasty. The most important thing was to meet the eunuch Lu Jiude, the guardian of Nanjing, Sun Chuanting, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Yang Tinglin, the censor of Nanjing Zuodu.

These three confidantes of them sit in the south of the Yangtze River and assist Zhang Pu in verifying the quota for the preferential exemption of officials and gentry and calling for the payment of owed taxes. Although they are not as dazzling as Lu Xiangsheng, in terms of credit, they are also great.Those who pass by here should be interviewed and encouraged in person no matter what.

There was nothing wrong with Yang Tinglin and Lu Jiude's meeting, everything was over just as Emperor Chongzhen thought.However, when meeting Sun Chuanting, something unexpected happened to him.

Just after Sun Chuanting reported that the matter was almost the same, and after Emperor Chongzhen encouraged him, he never thought about it, but heard Sun Chuanting play to him: "Your Majesty, I am a northerner. I have been in the south for many years. I heard that my colleagues in the past have many military exploits , I am very envious in my heart. I am very quiet and want to move, it is better to put down the chaos of the chieftains in Yunnan this time, and I am willing to obey orders under His Majesty's command!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was really stunned.But when he came back to his senses, he could understand why Sun Chuanting thought so.

Unlike the other two, Sun Chuanting's rise in the Ming Dynasty was actually to lead the army to suppress the bandits, and his ability to lead the army to fight has also been tested.Before that, he was even appointed as the governor of Jiliao, and he was used to deal with Liaodong Jianlu.However, because he promoted his method in Guanning and forcibly took back the farmland, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the Guanning warlords.

At that time, in order to prevent Guan Ning from causing trouble, of course, more importantly, it was necessary to have a powerful official who had nothing to do with the officials in the south. Not only was he selfless, but he was not the kind of confidant official who was good at dancing, he should be there to clean up the rotten things. In the officialdom, Sun Chuanting was transferred to the south to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he stayed there for five or six years.

It is estimated that Sun Chuanting is used to leading soldiers. When he heard that Hong Chengchou, especially Lu Xiangsheng, led troops to fight against Jianlu and Japanese pirates, he would be very touched every time there was a good news!In addition, Lu Xiangsheng finally became the second civil servant to be knighted in the history of Ming Dynasty because of the merits of leading the army in the war. It is estimated that this stimulated him even more.

Among the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming was the most important. He not only created the theory of mind learning, but also reached the pinnacle of civil officials and was awarded a title.Now, there is another Lu Xiangsheng. Although he has not joined the cabinet as a civil servant, there is absolutely no problem for him to join the cabinet in the future.

Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's incidents, Sun Chuanting, who also has a literary and military strategy, must be very quiet and thinking about moving, and he also wants to fight for the title!

In response to this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly in his heart. He liked motivated subordinates.

Today, in the Jiangnan officialdom, after years of rectification, that is, verifying the preferential exemption quota for officials and gentry and calling for payment of owed taxes, the atmosphere in the officialdom has been greatly cleaned up.In addition, the local Metropolitan Procuratorate on the Jiangnan side has already been successfully established, and the factory guards secretly supervise the officials, which is indeed much better than before.To keep Sun Chuanting here again, I feel that it is indeed a bit overkill!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately remembered the reform of the Weisuo.But after thinking about Sun Chuanting's style, it doesn't feel very suitable.The military is different from the officialdom, and it involves the reform of the military system of the guards in the south, which is even more important.Sun Chuanting didn't know how to be flexible, and he was easy to force the execution. Although he was not afraid of their rebellion, if it caused turmoil, it was not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see.

As for Yunnan, I want to solve the Yunnan chieftain problem once and for all. If there is still a chance, I will get through Dongwu by the way and get access to the Indian Ocean. It is difficult to achieve this goal.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little worried, how should he arrange Sun Chuanting?

Suddenly, a light flashed in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, and he suddenly thought of how to arrange Sun Chuanting.Therefore, he smiled and said to Sun Chuanting: "Over there in Yunnan, since I have already personally conquered, and I have arranged for the governors of the three sides and the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou in advance, there are enough manpower..."

Hearing this, he could see that Sun Chuanting's face was obviously a little disappointed.This person is indeed not those officials who are deeply in the city.It is also because of this that in the original history, he was angered by Yang Sichang's actions and sent to prison.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to him again.

　After returning from overtime work last night, I had a toothache and couldn't code. I drank mung bean soup and took medicine, and the pain disappeared in the morning.For the chapter in the afternoon, I have to wait until I get back from get off work to code.
