Ming dynasty grand dude

And these low-level soldiers and sergeants can enter the military academy by virtue of merit and assessment.

After he came out, he would be a lieutenant. If he could apply for assessment after making military exploits in the future, then the Imperial Military Academy would become a student of the emperor!

Thinking about it, I feel that there is hope for life, which is much better than staying in the guard without seeing any future.

At the expedition ceremony, Emperor Hongzhi did not come to practice, only the tiger-headed old Duke came.

But this standard is already considered relatively high. It is said that it is only going to the south to quell the chaos, not to the nine sides.

As far as the empire is concerned, the nine sides have always been the most important, and the south... How many barbarians from the south can still attack the capital? !

After all, the ships that can enter the canal are not large. The expeditionary force went directly to Jinmen and boarded the ship from the newly built Jinmen Port.

What no one noticed was that the carriages on the Chaobai River Wharf were also loaded onto the cargo ship.

At the same time, a large number of castings covered with tarpaulins were transported from the Ordnance Construction Department.

Of course, more of them are the prominent figures in Xungui's family.

Everyone's faces flushed with excitement, this is to follow Mr. Zhang to get rich!

But Zhang Xuanying, Zhang Shunde, the chief minister of northern Guangdong, is not good, and it is very, very bad!

Speaking of which, Lao Zhang also came from a famous family, and his father Zhang Lun Zhang Da Jing was an orthodox four-year Jinshi.

Jing Tainian was promoted to be a doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette. According to historical records, "he has a straight personality and can't marry the vulgar", and "he speaks bluntly, but is not liked by those involved".

Because Emperor Ming Dynasty abolished the post of Prince Xianzong later, he helped his son to be Prince.

Because of this, he was miserably cleaned up by Daizong. Fortunately, Yingzong restored and released the old guy later.

But the old guy has always liked to be young everywhere, and as a result, he didn't have much promotion and finally returned home.

The posthumous title is still good, it was given to "Gong Yi".

It can be regarded as affirmation of his deeds during Daizong's reign, and he was recorded in the history books.

Lao Zhang probably learned his father's lesson, so he didn't do anything too outrageous.

In the 11th year of Chenghua, he became a Jinshi and was awarded Nanjing to Shizhong.

In the third year of Hongzhi, he was changed to the Chief Secretary of Huguang to participate in politics on the left, and in the tenth year of Hongzhi, he was promoted to Chief Secretary of Shaanxi to participate in politics on the right.

Seeing that Hongzhi was almost ready to retire in 14 years, it turned out that this happened now!

What is this for? !

Old Zhang is about to cry, Mr. Zhang is indeed the Royal God of Honor and Wealth.

But he is also a razor hand for officials and merchants. Wherever he goes, officials will be left on the ground.

I didn't see him staying in the capital, so almost all the six departments of the capital have changed people? !

There are also various chambers of commerce and township associations. After directly ransacking their homes, the whole family is now suffering haha ​​and is building roads and dams for the Guochao...

Thinking that the eunuch merchant Zhang Shaved his head was coming to northern Guangdong, and it was before he became an official...

Lao Zhang now feels that the sky is about to fall, my Lao Zhang's life...why is it so hard!

:. :

Chapter 368 Officials and merchants are frightened, and there are many pirates and bandits in northern Guangdong

Perhaps because of the influence of his old father, although Lao Zhang should take care of things, he will not be perfunctory.

But he never said too much about things that he shouldn't be in charge of, so he was regarded as Zhongping who had served as the chief envoy in northern Guangdong.

Unexpectedly, the return from officialdom was about to arrive, but suddenly a Jade Chihu came out to suppress the rebels.

You said you went to southern Yunnan to suppress the rebel bandits, so what's the matter with you setting up your camp in northern Guangdong? !

The entire northern part of Guangdong, from the chief envoy, the inspector envoy, to the command envoy...all are trembling, as if they are facing an abyss, like walking on thin ice!

This nima, Mr. Zhang, is too famous for killing, and the Jinmen Sanwei is also a guard that has been passed down since the Yongle Year.

The commander of the Little Two Thousand, and the soldiers of thousands of households and hundreds of outdoors are all building roads for the country.

All the family property was confiscated, and it is said that several of them died of exhaustion in the mine...

The same is true for the civil servants, and the dignified servant is limping and pushing and pulling the cart to pull the stone.

The masters of Hanlin who are full of water are building dams, and the capital is in full swing. It's all their blood and sweat!

When these news came, who wouldn't be trembling? !

In fact, those gentlemen and merchants are more panicked than the adults from all walks of life.

No one is clean, especially the gentry and merchants in Yangcheng.

It is said that Zhang Xiaogong is very good at killing officials and guards, but have you not noticed that he is also very good at killing gentry and aristocrats? !

More than a dozen families of the Jinyang clan were wiped out, and now they are all building roads in the capital.

It is said that half of them have died of exhaustion, and the rest are living a miserable life!

Although the gentry and aristocratic families in northern Guangdong are not as ruthless as Jinyang, there are indeed few clean under their hands.

If this little prince is really swept up...

Think about it, everyone is trembling at the chrysanthemum door, that is really a disaster of family raiding and extermination!

However, this young man seemed to be stationed here in northern Guangdong. After getting off the boat, he went straight to the camp and became silent.

If you want to see him, you will see him too, everyone should praise Mr. Lin Langyu, who is a good man.

But I just met everyone and said that I would stop drinking when I was young.

Meals are also used in the military tents, if it weren't for the endless military tents and the shouts of daily drills...

Everyone hardly notices their presence.

Zhang Xiaogong did not settle in the Yangcheng mansion, but set up a military tent outside to live.

It is said that no woman is allowed to approach in the barracks, but Zhang Xiaogong is the only exception here.

To be precise, Zhang Xiaogong can't even count it as a military account here.

How could the loyal dogleg king Zhou Jinshan and housekeeper Zhou allow his little father-in-law to suffer? !

On the eve of learning that Mr. Zhang was about to set off for an expedition, our dog-legged housekeeper Wang Xiaozhou began to entrust various matters to the capital without hesitation.

The three major car dealers were handed over to the crown prince, and Zhu Houzhao was also the one who passed on millions of taels of silver.

There is no pressure at all to manage the three major car dealers, and there will be no major problems with the assistance of Liu Jin and Gao Feng.

Then it was time to start preparing for the little grandpa's travel needs. I knew that the little grandpa didn't like to be too public after he joined the army.

So the first thing Xiao Zhou did was to change the car urgently.

First of all, the appearance must not be as eye-catching as before, and secondly, the strength must be increased to ensure the safety of the vehicle.

The interior is not luxurious, but it must be comfortable, and it must be able to seat four to five people without being crowded.

The car can also be camped and expanded on the spot to become a small house.

Although it takes time to open and close, the whole car can form a nice bedroom when it is stretched out.

After the two carriages were spliced ​​together, it immediately became a hut with a bathroom, a bedroom and a reception room.

When Grandpa Zhang saw this car for the first time, he was immediately amazed by the magical idea of ​​housekeeper Zhou and the craftsmanship of the master craftsmen!

Damn it!This is simply a high-end luxury station wagon!

This little housekeeper Zhou... is really a talent!

Butler Xiao Zhou just smiled reservedly and served our little father-in-law!

The Ji military generals on Zhang Xiaogong's side would certainly not be willing to stay at home, but they naturally couldn't camp with the brigade.

Therefore, the camp of Mr. Zhang is on the edge of the camp.

"In the Yangcheng mansion, there are 37 households that can be called wealthy gentry and wealthy merchants, all of whom went to sea to do business..."

Xie Yutian is no longer the same as when he was a Louis Vuitton tycoon, now he looks like a gentle and elegant scholar.

He has a long thin beard, a carefully trimmed hat and crown, and an elegant Confucian shirt and Taoist robe.

His face is ruddy and gentle, and from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, he deserves a secret compliment: What a real celebrity, he is so romantic!

Even if they were beaten to death, the gentle Confucian scholar in front of him would not be connected with Lu Dahao who disturbed the capital.

"There are only seven companies that have no bad deeds. Although these seven companies are also merchants, they have never committed murder and robbery."

Zhang Xiaogong heard Xie Yutian's words, and his pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms narrowed slightly: "How can you see it?!"

"The seven families are in a group, and they have never made close friends with other places except for routine..."

Hearing Xie Yutian's words, Young Master Zhang couldn't help nodding and smiling, so it seems that these seven houses are indeed clean.

"The navy has encountered them at sea, and has also inquired with other families."

Xie Yutian then said in a soft voice: "The seven families are more united, and their skills are relatively strong."

"So although the other families are a little dissatisfied, they can only scold them behind their backs for their hypocrisy..."

Grandpa Zhang squinted his eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He stayed in this camp for so many days without moving a bit, in fact, he was waiting for the return of the factory guards.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Zhang Xiaogong is basically a confidant now, but knowing the enemy still depends on the factory guards.

"How much evidence has been verified?!"

Xie Yutian heard Zhang Xiaogong's question, lowered his head and said softly: "Seventy percent, and the remaining thirty percent has only circumstantial evidence and no direct evidence."

"And... I suspect that they actually have deeper problems, such as repeated Japanese raids, pirates in Boni and other places..."

Regarding these things, Mr. Zhang felt that it would not be surprising even if they happened. First of all, northern Guangdong has had the habit of crossing the sea since ancient times.

Secondly, these people are not good people, and many of them are simply thieves.

For example, the Chen Zuyi who was beheaded by the Sanbao eunuch, the pirates who rose up during the Hongwu period were not ordinary people.

This guy was entrenched in Malacca for more than 10 years as a pirate. At its peak, it had tens of thousands of people and hundreds of warships.

Dominating the Fusang, Yizhou, South China Sea, Indian Ocean... and other seas, looting and blackmailing as many as [-] passing ships!

He even attacked at one time, and more than fifty coastal towns were looted or harassed by him.

And this Chen Zuyi, whose ancestral home is Fengcheng in northern Guangdong!

:. :

Chapter 369 Static, dynamic, wind and thunder follow each other, and the overall situation in northern Guangdong will eventually change

Including the later Lin Daoqian, Lin Feng, Zheng Yisao, Zhang Baozai... etc., the land of northern Guangdong relies on the sea to cross the sea.

Some people become famous, some use it to recruit officials, some make a name for themselves overseas, and some are obstinate and repeatedly commit killings and looting on the frontier.

Zhang Xiaogong didn't mean to kill all of them, the Taizu also said it later!

To learn from past mistakes and avoid past mistakes to cure diseases and save lives, destroying all of them is definitely not enough!

Of course, Mr. Zhang didn't intend to chat with those dirty beasts.

So it is natural for the factory guard to make a distinction first, and then decide who to choose to cooperate with and who should die.

"Please also tell your little father-in-law that the old man will definitely come to the appointment on time."

As for the smiling young man in front of him who claimed to be the butler of the young grandpa's house.

Even if Zhang Xuanying was the chief envoy of northern Guangdong, he would not dare to neglect him.

"Mr. Shunde..."

The young man looked at Zhang Xuanying, and said in a soft voice: "Don't just listen to some rumors outside, can a frustrated person speak kind words?!"

"It's Master Fang Xinzhi who once met my little father-in-law, but now he is the minister of the Imperial Preface and Education Department..."

Zhang Xuanying was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and then his heart became hot all of a sudden.

Who is so ups and downs in the officialdom not for further advancement? !Who wouldn't want to step into the court and become a marquis to pay homage to a prime minister? !
