Chapter 543: Memories, Confidence, The process is very important

When later historians studied the rise of Huazhou, they always felt very strange, because the world was still peaceful at that time, and the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty was still very complete. Neither the Mongols nor the internal peasant uprising could cause any damage to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Feng, a small soldier who was equivalent to a policeman, became a wealthy person in just a few years and a great general guarding one in just a few years. Then he did not live a prosperous life like traditional Chinese generals or rebelled at home, but instead took his subordinates and his subordinates to go overseas. This rebellious behavior did not destroy his power, but gradually dominated the sea.

All of this seemed to be step by step, everything was as expected as God's help, but there were also some disorganized behaviors. For example, letting the strength of his enemies be allowed to do so is not the action of a scheming politician or military strategist.

Many people are puzzled by this. They always analyze the politics, economy, military and the situation at that time. With the continuous development of the times and society, some people have begun to propose to analyze it using behavioral science and psychology. At this time, the book "Looking Up to the Emperor" that has always been regarded as an anecdote of great men was picked up by many people, trying to analyze it from Jiang Feng's words and deeds.

After Rodriguez served as a servant, his status in China has greatly improved. He was originally just a smart young man among the Netherlands in China. After reaching this position, he immediately entered the top figures. For a time, he was at the same level as chief instructor Jason Hogan and Sinon Wiscons, and he can be regarded as the leader of the small circle of the Netherlands.

Those who proposed marriage to him for a while and those who took the initiative to help him do business came to him. Of course, many people regretted beating their chests and stamping their feet. Why didn’t they think of becoming an official? For a moment, the Dutch people took the initiative to enter the system to become an official, which caught people off guard.

However, Rodriguez was very clear about his judgment. He also knew that he might have a future in the future, but it was certainly not now. A foreigner who was just doing elementary reading and writing would have any real important secretarial work to him. So when he was in the Governor's Office, he always did some work within his ability. I will never say much. In the eyes of the Han people in Huazhou, the Dutch people were quite flamboyant and liked to make loud noises. The calmness and perseverance among the Han people was quite different.

Seeing this young man in the Netherlands is so humble and polite despite being in a high position, he is very impressed. In the Chinese system, the only non-Han ethnic group who can be used with confidence is the Netherlands. In addition to Rodriguez's performance, many people have the intention to cultivate him.

Jiang Feng usually has no time to take care of these things, but Liu Shier has been paying attention to Rodriguez. After a while of investigation, he found that this person was indeed a good person, so he began to train him personally. In the Governor's Mansion, the best way to train him is to lead him to watch and listen more.

Liu Shier is the person who comes into contact with the most information in the entire Huazhou, so it is of course of great benefit to be by his side. Of course, Liu Shier is also the person who meets Jiang Feng the most times in the entire Huazhou. Rodriguez is either on duty or following Liu Shier every day, and spends a lot of time around Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's life is like a legend. It is not only passed down by Han people, but also by word of mouth among the people in the Netherlands. In the church, there are also special people who wrote Jiang Feng's story into a textbook for people to browse.

Rodriguez naturally saw these stories. After all, it was the young man's longing for the heroic property in his heart. When he saw the real person at this time, he was of course very careful about Jiang Feng's words and actions. These materials must be the basis of his memoir after he returned to his hometown.

The following description is excerpted from "Looking Up at the Emperor" and is considered an important material for studying Jiang Feng's behavior. Of course, some people say that this is a baseless unofficial history of village words. It was the Dutch people who were contaminated by the gossip of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty and made up:

Every time I walk into the palace, I can't help but admire. When our family was a prominent family in Rotterdam, my parents once took me to a banquet for a prince in Spain. The luxury of the mansion completely shocked me, thinking that it was the ultimate in the world.

But no matter which aspect, this palace is many times higher than that prince's mansion. The wealth of Huazhou is already a recognized fact. What really makes me feel incredible is that many of my colleagues said unhappily that if King Hua was not willing to spend more money, this mansion would not have been built so simply. You can't imagine what I was feeling at that time. Of course, today, this feeling has become nostalgia and pride.

King Hua is a great hero. He is different from most emperors in the East and Europe. He is busy with his work every day and rarely enjoys it in his own palace.

My colleagues said that what King Hua really enjoyed was the family dinner with his concubines and his children. At that time, it was the only relaxation for King Hua. At other times, even when he was with his closest ministers, although he was gentle and smiling, he was serious and laborious.

Things in the world are not constant. I have seen a very interesting situation in the past thirty years with King Hua for more than thirty years. I think I can finally tell you it now without considering things like confidentiality.

The Interior Minister of Huazhou was nominally General Luo Yi. However, my mentor, the wise Mr. Liu Shier, also held a similar job, although his official position was the chief of staff of the army. When I first entered the Governor's Office in Huazhou as a servant, my mentor, Mr. Liu Shier, was not in a good mood. This is a rare situation. Mr. Liu has always been famous in Huazhou for his kindness and calmness.

One night in March, King Hua invited Mr. Liu to have a private banquet for a small banquet. There were only two participants, but as attendants, I was with several guards.

I am sorry that I can’t tell you what happened because of the need for confidentiality. However, at that private banquet, I really felt the confidence that the emperor should have. Perhaps it was because of this confidence that King Hua led Huazhou from one victory to another.

...

Historians have been racking their brains to guess what happened, but the parties involved are all keeping their mouths tight and no one reveals anything.

After Jiang Feng became king, except for the slight changes in his official positions, most of the rest of his time spent patrolling and inspecting the troops under his jurisdiction and various places in the territory. This was not a matter of traveling around, but a light vehicle and a simple inspection of the troops, from civil guards to military camps, from docks to workshops. Of course, the effect was good, but people were also troubled.

After returning to Huazhou City, Jiang Feng was a little tired, so he simply arranged for the people below to set up a banquet, but invited Liu Shier to the banquet. For Jiang Feng, this banquet was purely a pastime drink for two people, a few exquisite dishes cooked in the kitchen, and a pot of warm rice wine, which was not complicated.

When Liu Shier saw Jiang Feng coming back, he would squeeze out a smile even if he was in a bad mood. Jiang Feng had a moderate alcohol tolerance, but he liked to be with others when drinking, which means that when he was drinking, others could not stop drinking. Liu Shier's alcohol tolerance was very average. He sat down and the two drank a few glasses of yellow wine. Jiang Feng talked about some of the experiences below, saying that all aspects were running in full swing and there was nothing wrong.

Originally, Liu Shier had already made a clear judgment. No matter what the situation in Huazhou was, no matter what the Ming Dynasty, millions of soldiers and civilians in Huazhou did not have to worry about self-protection. Then he ignored Jiang Feng's actions. Although he was in a bad mood, he was unwilling to mention it at this time.

However, alcohol is rising, and people often cannot control their emotions and mouths. The same is true at this time. Liu Shier drank a few more glasses of wine and felt the heat surge. The original distinction between the ruler and the minister was much weaker. When his mind became hot, he spoke:

"King, competing for the world is a military and national event, and you cannot be treated like this!"

Jiang Feng raised the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and asked with a smile:

"How did I have a joke?"

Liu Shier was a very cunning person in his heart. He knew that the emperor's heart could not be speculated normally, so he always abides by his duties and never wants to transcend the rules. However, today he was drunk, but he couldn't care about anything and said:

"King, the Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, seized power in the mutiny of the Ming Dynasty. The thirteen provinces in the north and south, and the vassal kings and the border towns of the vassal were all panicked and restless. At that time, Huazhou was equipped with soldiers and warships. If the flag was raised high and the Ming Dynasty, it would be unstoppable. I have it all. Now, Jiajing has already trained tens of thousands of strong troops in order to rectify the internal affairs and collect finances and taxes. The situation is becoming increasingly stable. The opportunity disappeared in an instant. King, what a pity! Could it be that these hundreds of thousands of wolf and tiger soldiers are just guarding the door."

This was actually quite rude, but Jiang Feng was not angry. He said with a smile:

"I know these things too, but I just don't want things to be too boring..."
