Song Lian was "invited" back by the Guards ten days later.
Through reports from his personal guards, Li Jiang learned the reason for his departure.
He was not afraid of death, but knew that he had no hope of passing the exam, so he left Kaifeng the next day after finishing the exam and traveled west to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
According to the information he "revealed" to the leader of the personal guard, he wanted to visit Shanxi and Shaanxi. How was Li Shoufu, who had second thoughts about imitating Zhou Zhao's republican rule, how was he doing?
Li Jiang became interested and asked the reporter: "What next? What does he think?"
The personal guard Xiaoxiao was embarrassed for a moment and muttered: "He didn't say...but, uh, my subordinates guessed that he didn't go anywhere. He has been sleeping in flowers and willows since he arrived in Luoyang. When we found him in Qing...
He is still drunk..."
"Oh? Haha, it's understandable that you are young and frivolous, and that you are talented and romantic." Li Jiang laughed and shook his head.
While sighing, Li Jiang was distracted. He remembered the time when he was young and frivolous. Many years ago, he had thought of going to investigate the living conditions of women who had lost their feet at least once, but he never made the trip, either because of this reason or because of that reason.
, every time I make up my mind to go, I always miss it by mistake.
The guard kept his posture of clasping his fists and bowing, and never heard Li Jiang cry out. He raised his eyes and took a peek in confusion, and saw the chief assistant looking up at the sky, with a hint of... silver smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if he was remembering something.
The guard's body shook unnaturally twice.
In Li Jiang's copycat spirit, no one can hide from him within ten meters!
Even the smallest movement woke up Li Jiang. He pretended to cough and said, "Okay, I understand. You send the person to the reserve class and give it to Tong Derong, he will handle it."
The bodyguards were ordered to retreat.
On the first day of October in the 14th year of the Zhengzheng Period, the Mingjiao reserve class officially opened. The venue was still the Confucius Temple, but there was an extra sign, "Mingjiao Civil Servant Training School."
"Civil servant" and "training" are new words, but their meanings are simple and straightforward. For the top 108 people, they can understand the meaning at a glance, and there is no need for a special explanation from the head teacher Tong Derong.
Not only that, many students also gave Tong Derong opinions: The name of the school is too rustic and white, and it does not reflect the high-end, grand, mysterious and majestic feeling at all. It should be changed to "Tai Xue" or "Guozijian", or at least create a different name.
Is "official school" good too?
Tong Derong replied to them, "This is the handwriting of the chief minister!"
A group of people remained silent.
At the opening ceremony, the school’s first principal, Assistant Professor Li Da, took the time to attend despite all the busy schedules.
Amid the warm applause of the students, Li Shoufu delivered a speech on "Study seriously and be down-to-earth, and look forward to the future to be a leader."
Student representative Li Shanchang then took the stage and read the oath "We are ready".
After that, Li Shoufu cordially met with each student and asked them in detail about various situations they encountered in study and life.
After the meeting, Li Shoufu gave important instructions. He asked the school to not only care about the students' studies, but also provide logistical support for the students, so that the students should be focused on completing their studies and graduating as soon as possible to contribute to the overthrow of the tyranny.
Amid cheers from the students, class teacher Tong Derong said that the school will definitely keep the instructions of the chief assistant in mind, study the logistical support issues immediately after the meeting, and strive to implement them as soon as possible. Please rest assured that the first assistant will also ask the students to supervise this.
Finally, with all the teachers and students of the school reluctantly seeing each other off, Li Shoufu climbed up... and walked away in the car.
Time passed slowly, the fourteenth year of Zhizheng passed, and the fifteenth year of Zhizheng came.
In terms of regulating people's livelihood, Mingjiao has completely digested the territory in Henan. Although it is under military control, it can be expected that these places will return to normal once the reserve class graduates.
The military results were even more significant.
First of all, the number of troops directly led by the Mingjiao center has reached one million.
Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang was ordered to move to the northern part of Henan Jiangbei Province (Anhui), met Fan Yao, and came under Fan Yao's command.
Third, the Central Military Region occupies the Xiangyang area in the north of Huguang and is connected with Mingjiao Henan.
At this point, Mingjiao has made all preparations for the next war and is waiting for Li Jiang's order to advance into Shandong.
By February of the 15th year, the reserve class graduated.
Li Jiang held a special military meeting for the students, and finally decided that newcomers should not be promoted to high positions all at once, but should start from the grassroots level.
Transfer orders are issued to the reserve class:
Li Shanchang, an activist, squad leader and first-class student in assessment, was recruited into the Logistics Department and served as deputy director of the Grain Allocation Department.
Liu Ji, a first-class student, was recruited to serve as a second-level painter in the Central Military Governor's Approval and Painting Department of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and was awarded the rank of Wei Zhenfu (deputy department level).
Song Lian, a first-class student, was recruited to serve as deputy director of the Northern Bureau of the Propaganda Department (deputy department level).
The remaining B-class and C-class students were awarded county magistrates at the division level and county magistrates at the deputy division level in various places in the three provinces.
After arranging all personnel, the Ming Cult's war machine started.
Under such circumstances, Li Shanchang was in dire straits as soon as he took office. Before the army moved, food and grass came first. Therefore, his job was very important. He not only had to urge the food to be handed over from various places, but also calculated the number of troops in each army and arranged the allocation.
On March 1st, the weather turned warmer. Li Jiang issued a military order to liberate Shandong and Anhui.
On March 5, the military order was delivered to Fan Yao in Shangqiu.
On the 11th, Fan Yao led his army into Anhui, joined Zhu Yuanzhang waiting in Bozhou, and went south to attack Fuyang. Their goal was to reach the northern line of the Huaihe River, sweep eastward along the river, cross Hongze Lake, and reach the Yuan Dynasty's heavy troops in Huai'an. Group Right.
On the 15th, the Mingjiao Center left Kaifeng and headed east, entering Lankao three days later.
In Lankao, an army of 300,000 troops had been gathered one after another. Zhang Wuji beat drums to gather his troops, went to the altar to pay homage, and awarded General Li Jiang the title of commander-in-chief of all Mingjiao troops.
Li Jiang then took the stage and issued a military order in the name of general and commander-in-chief of the Guards: troops march into Shandong.
The audience's arms were like forests, and the mountains roared like a tsunami: "Drive out the Tartars and liberate Shandong!"
As for the Yuan Dynasty, although they concentrated heavy troops in the south of the Yangtze River, they also deployed more than 200,000 troops to defend Shandong. They did not dare to lose the southern gate of the capital.
The Ming army fought bloody battles all the way, captured the city when encountering it, conquered Heze, Jining, and Tai'an, and reached the south of Jinan.
The Yuan Dynasty finally panicked. If the Mingjiao took over Jinan, the south of the Yellow River would lose control, and Huai'an's army would become a lone army. As a last resort, they gathered the last garrison troops in most of the capital, and even the Great Khan's own troops were A total of 100,000 people were dispatched to urgently cross the river to support Jinan.
However, Li Jiang did not give them a chance. He captured Jinan one day earlier with the "Rolling Thunder" method, and then divided his troops eastward along the Yellow River to the mouth of the sea, completely blocking the 100,000 reinforcements on the north side of the Yellow River.
The reinforcements looked at the river and sighed, and most of them were frightened three times a day. They were afraid that the Mingjiao army would take the opportunity to cross the river and enter Hebei. Most of the plains here were in danger!
After several days of being on tenterhooks, news came from the front that made most of the nobles heave a sigh of relief.
The Ming army only sent people to guard a few crossings of the Yellow River, and then the army turned around and rushed south instead.
Except for Emperor Yuan who was still dreaming because the threat had been eliminated, many people in Dadu realized that Yuan's Huaihe Army was finished. They were attacked from both sides and their destruction was only a matter of time.
Once the nearly one million Yuan army in Huaihe River is over, the Great Yuan Dynasty will be over too!
Chapter completed!
