Beiyang new warlord

At this moment, the courtiers were already turning their heads from side to side, discussing hastily, just like when Zuo Maodi and the other two entered the palace, this imperial decree also touched their core interests, you southerners want to come to the north to grab officials, Where do these Beijing officials like Lao Tzu go?

Although after Mao Jue came to power, being an official was not as easy as before. He worked ten times more every day, and the benefits of tax exemption were gone, but after all, being an official was more comfortable than being a civilian. The salary set by Taizu Zhu Xiaoyu has been increased by ten times. He also imitated the Dongjiang system and deducted a little from the monthly salary. After the age of 60, you can still get a considerable pension when you retire.

What's more, most of the officials from the six departments of Jiuqing were newly promoted by Mao Jue in the past few months, and asking them to give up their hard-won positions is like revenge for killing their father!

Mao Jue's goal has been achieved. This crazy Nanming imperial decree is equivalent to offending most of the officials in the north. When the time comes to war, the whole north will be the same enemy, unlike the Qing Dynasty in history, when it fought against Nanming It also faced an internal Han bureaucratic rebellion.

The heat was enough, and Mao Jue finally nodded to the new emperor Zhu Cihong who was sitting on the dragon chair and saw the prince for the first time.

I couldn't hold back for a long time. The imperial decree just now pushed the subjugation of the country to my father. Besides, even if I am a puppet, I have to be the only puppet. I have a cousin in the south who keeps pace with me. With the momentum of Emperor Chongzhen back then, Zhu Cihong suddenly stood up and roared loudly.

"Shameless rebels, are you asking me to accept the imperial decree of that usurper of King Fu?"

"Presumptuous! Your Majesty is the flesh and blood of Emperor Wanli! It is only natural for the supreme being in the world to inherit the throne! You are a warrior, how dare you presume to become the emperor, is it a big rebellion?"

Before he figured out the situation, Zuo Maodi was still pretending to be aggressive, and even Zhu Cihong was so angry that he was almost out of breath.

"Presumptuous! I am the prince of the first emperor! The first emperor was great, and it is reasonable and reasonable for me to inherit this legal position! You rebellious ministers, greedy for wealth and honor, even surrounded the rebel King Fu and proclaimed emperor, it is a crime that cannot be punished! Regent, I want you to send troops to conquer This group of traitors!"

It was only then that Zuo Maodi saw clearly that the person sitting on the dragon chair was just a boy in his teens, and following his voice, Mao Jue, who was standing aside and blocked by the officials, walked away comfortably He came out and looked coldly at the two people in the middle of the hall.

"When you see the real dragon emperor, don't you still kneel?"

"Who knows who is sitting in the hall? Do you think the prince is the prince? Mao Jue, you dare to arbitrarily set up the prince. This crime cannot be pardoned! The whole world should punish it!"

There is a saying that the dead duck's mouth is hard, it is already in chaos, Zuo Maodi is still here to hold on, but even if he kneels and kowtows, it doesn't matter to Mao Jue, he put the saber on it with contempt Between his hands, he snorted proudly.

"I'm giving you a chance. Before March next year, let Funi bring Yingtian and those rebellious ministers to the capital to apologize! After accepting the review of Dali Temple, I can spare you a life. Otherwise, next March , This king has set up righteous teachers from all over the world from the capital to punish unruly ministers. When Yingtian is overthrown, it is the time when all the criminal ministers are destroyed. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they will be punished as treason, and the city mayor street will be abandoned!"

Without giving Zuo Maodi any chance to refute, Mao Jue proudly waved his hands, "Come on, beat these two traitors out of the palace!"

"The last will obey!"

Chapter 612. Kai Kun Comes To Fuck You

For this mission, Nanming prepared for four months. From the envoy's dispute to the terms of the negotiation and the credit for sharing, he was blushing at every bit of dispute, but the real mission was over in one day, and Zuo Maodi We have to bring this unprecedented bad news back to Jiangnan.

It's time for war!

After being kicked out of the palace, with the mission, the two of them rubbed against the gate of the palace for a long time, and even paid money to bribe the guards of the palace gate to meet the crown prince or Mao Jue again. Unfortunately, let alone being caught for retirement Jin was ruined. Just because these bastards wanted to grab their own jobs, these guards didn't care about them at all.

Standing on Chengtian Gate, watching a group of people walking out of the city with drooping heads, Mao Jue couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, the key to starting a war is surprise. Like the German army in World War II, they broke into the empire's borders with lightning speed and delivered a fatal blow. Like Mao Jue, he told people directly in front of the entire court that I will fuck you next year, and wash his neck first. Wait! It's a bit like Song Xiang's formula "benevolence and righteousness", so that Nanming has time to prepare for the war.

However, will the group of benevolent and moral guys prepare for the battle?In history, the capital fell and half of the country was gone. Apart from being busy arguing with each other, these Donglin party members, who are known as honest gentlemen, spared no effort to chase down former ministers. They took the opportunity to reverse all the verdicts that they could not see in the history of Ming Dynasty, and did not add a soldier to the front line One silver, when the Qing army went south, it was instantly defeated.

If in this time and space, the ministers of Nanming can unite and actively prepare for the war, Mao Jue can still look at them highly.

The question is, can they?

With a grunt, Mao Jue turned around and went back to the palace with his big sleeves on his back.

Time passed bit by bit, the biggest historical turning point in history, the 17th year of Chongzhen, AD [-], was passed smoothly in such tranquility, and in the new year, the reign of Chongzhen became history On the one hand, Mao Jue ordered to change the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, it indicated that he would turn the Ming Dynasty from closed to open, which was a great change in the national policy.

In the past six months, the energy of the whole north has been put on the iron boss. The achievements of local officials in various places are all based on iron. Even in the cold winter months, the railway construction site has not broken. The Xulei Railway has really been built to the gate of Xuzhou, thanks to Liu Liangzuo, the general soldier of Xuzhou. As long as the money is in place, even if Mao Jue declares war on Jiangnan, this guy will still mobilize more than a dozen battalions of infantry to help Dongjiang pave the road come over.

Mao Jue also kept his word. Wherever the railway went, the grain produced by the granary in Heilongjiang would come in boxes and boxes, and distributed to the local residents as wages for the construction of the railway.

However, this new item of trains still caused a great shock among the common people, such as Tancheng, Shandong, which is the closest to Xuzhou.

Early in the morning, Zhao Jin, the county magistrate of Tancheng, was notified that Liao Town was going to test the railway. He also led the county police, county industry and commerce, and a large number of employees of the county bank to wait at the station near the gate of the city early in the morning. On the side, waiting to receive supplies.

Looking at the frozen railroad tracks in January, the county magistrate Liu Deguan, who was also a master of Jiangnan, was a little apprehensive and couldn't help muttering.

"I heard that the Kun from Liao Town is eight feet tall, with a bronze head and iron forehead, and a flame-breathing mouth. He is so brave that he can split mountains. I really don't know what kind of monster he is!"

"Yes! Yes! I heard that there are more than a dozen county officials in Fucheng County, the neighboring county, so frightened that they are paralyzed and unable to get up!"

Hearing the whispers of his subordinates, the county magistrate Zhao Jin's plump, shiny face immediately showed a wave of disdain, and proudly raised his head.

"Zibuyu is strange, what a kun, it's just a bigger carriage, it's embarrassing to see you all have never seen the world!"

"It's still the county magistrate who is calm!"

"Yes! No wonder your lord was promoted as soon as he came, and he is so trusted by King Liao."

"My lord, Mount Tai collapsed in front of me without changing his face!"

A series of flattery came overwhelmingly, and Zhao Jin, who has always flattered people, held his head high comfortably.

"My colleagues are amazing! I just read more books and visited more places. Everyone is loyal to the regent, haha!"

While speaking, the county policeman in the distance was riding a horse and waving a red flag, and then in the morning mist, a huge red eye slowly came into view, and he could faintly feel the huge shock coming towards him.

The train is coming!

All the discussions came to an abrupt end. All the county officials held their breath and looked towards the north nervously. A moment later, a strong wind suddenly blew on their faces. The smoky front of the car suddenly broke through the morning fog, and appeared in front of everyone in Tancheng County in shock, followed by the deafening buzzing of the siren, and the dark green train-skinned giant dragon flashed before the eyes.

"This, this is simply, this is simply a miracle! The regent king can use the dragon! He really is the right man! The right man!"

His old face turned pale with fright, Liu Deguan yelled loudly with trembling lips, and immediately, he yelled excitedly again.

"Lord County Magistrate, look! Really, what a fetish! Huh? Magistrate, where are you?"

With a greeting, everyone came back to their senses and looked forward one after another, but after a while, everyone was dumbfounded. The Magistrate Zhao, who was known to be well-informed just now, was stuck on the ground like a big piece of dough, and his body fell to the ground. He kowtowed and muttered non-stop.

"There really are kuns! God! There really are kuns!"

The train rushed forward for more than 100 meters under the inertia, and then it came to an abrupt stop under the brakes of Sisi, and then the door of the train opened. Everyone was wearing black cotton army coats, carrying flintlock guns. The handsome and handsome Liaodong infantry jumped down arrogantly.

In the front compartment, a dozen or so well-trained sergeants who were not easy to mess with at first glance jumped down immediately, and lined up with adult wall guards on the left and right, followed by a particularly mighty and solemn middle-aged man in a particularly dark military coat. Just like Master Zhang Dafo in "Old Nine Gates", he opened his mouth and asked while wearing gloves.

"Where are the magistrates here?"

While the north is slowly returning to life, the south is becoming more and more noisy.

As Mao Jue expected, after Zuo Maodi returned to Nanjing, he immediately aroused a fierce reaction from the scholars and bureaucrats of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The first time he clamored that the crown prince was a fake, that Mao Jue had the audacity to switch the package and set up a private son for the purpose of arrogating power.

Immediately afterwards, various literati transformed themselves into detectives, and articles were written one after another, from Li Zicheng's entry into the city, to how they harmed the Emperor Chongzhen and the prince's family, and how Mao Jue suppressed the news, how to find him. The folk children of the people pretended to be impostors, speaking as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

In addition, countless witnesses appeared, pointing out how Mao Jue cruelly persecuted the dead prince, forced Princess Changping to marry her, and then ravaged her every day in the mansion. Anyway, all kinds of sewage splashed on Mao Jue, for a while. Well, Mao Jue seems to have become a street mouse in the south, the kind that everyone shouts and beats.

But for the upcoming war, these Jiangnan scholar-bureaucrats did nothing!

Shi Kefa in Yangzhou and Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, panicked. While Ma Shiying wanted to transfer Huguang Zuo Liangyu's Chu army to Jiangnan for defense, he kept writing letters to Mao Jue. Ma Yaocao was a real person. Simply speak bluntly and rule across the river, and recognize each other.
