Yesterday, Li Shantang sat in the hall and thought for a long time. The four parties had united to deal with him. His resignation was a certainty, and there was no room for maneuver at all.
The reason why he came to the capital was his own willingness to go further, but more importantly, he had Wang Xuan's support.
Wang Xuan needs him to give some support in the court, and at the same time be a nail to pave the way for things he may encounter in the future, but now, he has been resigned...
As a person, it doesn't matter if you have problems of one kind or another. As long as you are valuable, you will definitely live a good life.
Li Shantang is what he is today because he has enough value. He will never allow his value to decrease. Even if he is no longer an official of the imperial court, he still has to show his value.
To show value, things must be done. Now he has no rights, but he still has connections, but he needs a certain amount of exchange.
In the early morning, before going to the court meeting, Li Shantang arrived a little earlier than usual. He greeted every official he met warmly and chatted casually. He didn't look like a minister of the Ministry of War at all.
He is so approachable, and usually has a good reputation. Although he has a somewhat direct temper, he likes to support his juniors.
When he saw Qi Shijiao, Li Shantang greeted him as usual, but after the two separated, Qi Shijiao had an inexplicable paper ball in his hand.
Qi Shijiao pinched it, showed a playful smile, and gave no other expression. When no one was paying attention, he opened it and took a look.
"The governor of Fujian is vacant. No matter who he is, he will definitely die as long as he takes office. However, the prerequisite is that the governor of Fuzhou must be Sun Chuanting."
After glancing at it, Qi Shijiao quietly put the paper ball in his sleeve, as if nothing had happened. He felt that this transaction was worth it. Let alone who he got rid of, it was not important. The important thing was that he
Being able to get favors from the other two parties and at the same time forge a good relationship with Wang Xuan is simply killing two birds with one stone, and you don't have to pay anything. It couldn't be better.
Before going to court, he briefly contacted the other three parties. Qi Shijiao looked at Fang Congzhe and the others inexplicably and said with a smile: "The Donglin party members are all well-educated people who are devoted to the country and have noble moral character. I think if
Not promoting him would be a disservice to the country."
The members of the Donglin Party are all well-educated people. This sentence can be said from the mouth of Qi Shijiao, the leader of the Qi Party. No matter how you hear it, it feels awkward, as if eunuchs are all upright officials and never corrupt.
Several people frowned at Qi Shijiao and didn't rush to say anything. They were all old foxes and didn't believe that Qi Shijiao didn't have a follow-up.
"Fujian is on the border and is often harassed by Japanese pirates. If a well-educated scholar from the Donglin Party is appointed as the governor, he will be able to educate all living beings and bring peace to the coastal areas."
As soon as these words came out, the people from the Zhejiang Party and the Chu Party were stunned. Didn't they agree with the Donglin Party members yesterday to push a few royalist people over? Why did they change their minds?
We are all important ministers of the imperial court, leaders of one party, and world-famous people. How could they do something contrary to their word? This is simply an insult to their character. This is absolutely impossible!
I, an important minister of the country and a gentleman, will not break my promise for the sake of personal grudges even if I am exhausted, die outside, or jump from here.
At this time of national crisis, evildoers are born. How can important ministers like them only focus on personal grievances and ignore national affairs? Are they that kind of people?
Absolutely not!
"Donglin Academy has numerous talents who are the pillars of the country. At this critical moment, we will never slander others due to personal grudges. Therefore, the governor of Fujian is Mr. Yang Lianyang who is more suitable."
"What Mr. Guan said makes sense. Everyone in Donglin Academy is talented and well-spoken. Mr. Yang is a well-educated Confucian scholar. The most outstanding figure of this generation in Donglin Academy will definitely be qualified for the post of governor of Fujian."
"Master Yang has outstanding abilities, and he will definitely be able to govern Fujian with ease."
"I think Mr. Yang is the Wenquxing who descended to earth..."
Faced with the rolling sound of flattery, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian and other Donglin Party members are going crazy. Damn it, we agreed last night to nominate the royalists, and now you are going back on your word.
How shameless!
Letting Yang Lian go to Fujian would be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. It would be weird if Wang Xuan could leave him a whole body...
Everything that happened in the court had nothing to do with Li Shantang. After resigning, he left the imperial city directly and returned to the mansion. He sent the news out as soon as possible. The reason why he did not send the message yesterday was because he had to wait until today.
This operation showed Wang Xuan his ability.
At the court meeting, the Donglin Party was severely dealt with, but after the end, the arrangements for Wang Xuan did not stop. On this point, everyone has the same interests and they are all mature politicians. They will not be affected by a sudden change.
The battle of loyalty and victory or defeat will change the planned plan.
Wang Xuan, who is far away in Guangdong, still knows nothing about this. It is too far from the capital to Guangdong. Even a letter sent by flying pigeons has to go through countless transfers. There is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.
If you meet that greedy person on the road...the homing pigeon may become braised.
Therefore, such important news is usually delivered manually.
In fact, when Wang Xuan received the news more than ten days later, he didn't care too much.
After casually reading the information in the letter, Fan Wencheng and others were casually thrown aside to watch. Fan Wencheng, who did not know much about the forces in the DPRK, had no reaction, but Sun Chengzong, who was familiar with the strength of the four major parties, frowned.
, looked at Wang Xuan with some worry, "Lord, this matter should not be taken lightly."
"How do you say it?" Wang Xuan looked at a book in his hand and asked casually.
"The Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and Donglin parties account for almost 80% of the world's officials and 10% of the national taxes. It can be said that the remaining northwest and provinces and customs will only waste the court's taxes every year without making any contribution. Once these four
If the party unites together, not even the emperor can oppose it, but the power mobilized is too powerful. If it is aimed at the emperor, Fujian and Guangdong alone have no ability to resist." Sun Chengzong looked a little anxious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You are not wrong to say that." Wang Xuan nodded in agreement, "But I also tell you a truth, the truth is always within the reach of a sword and a gun.
Guilty, not words or so-called power. As long as your force is strong enough, you can ignore them. It doesn't matter what you say or do. If you don't like them, just kill them all."
"This..." Sun Chengzong did not agree with this, "Killing cannot solve all problems!"
"Wrong, that's because you haven't killed enough. For the country, this problem may not be solved. So, if you kill the people who created this problem, then the problem will naturally be solved."
"For example, in the last years of the dynasty, land annexation was serious, and the landless people could not guarantee their livelihood, so they had no choice but to rise up in rebellion. In the end, the dynasty collapsed, and a large number of landless people died. Rich families and landlords died in the turmoil.
, this process is solving problems, and finally the new dynasty is established."
"Similarly, the Annan people are always thinking about rebellion, so as long as all the Annan people are killed, the problem will be solved naturally."
"No matter what the plans of these four major parties are, if they want to solve this big trouble of mine, they all need enough force to destroy the 120,000 troops in my hands. And, do they have this force? No! They have this.
Are you brave? No! They have nothing. All we have to do is develop ourselves step by step. In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and tricks are useless."
When Wang Xuan said this, Sun Chengzong couldn't find anything to refute for a while. Although he thought Wang Xuan was talking heresy, he couldn't find any loopholes to refute. He didn't bother to do that kind of forced sophistry.
, he agrees with Wang Xuan on one point, it doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, the one that catches mice is a good cat. Everything can be proved by facts.
"Now, there are still several things we need to do before us. First, train troops, second, capture Annan slaves, and third, arrange the development of Annan. They do theirs, we develop ours, those families are worried
Don't worry about it, look at Fujian, I have destroyed many aristocratic families, but now, the remaining aristocratic families are not grateful."
"Sun Chengzong and Hong Chengchou, let's talk about how the military training is going."
Wang Xuan changed the topic. Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong and others immediately showed smiles on their faces, "It's very effective. Your Majesty, this kind of military training method is simple, easy to understand and has no difficulty. However, the effect is so good that it is simply unheard of. The only
The disadvantage is that the cost is simply too high, which makes me feel distressed.”
"Hahahaha." Hearing this, Wang Xuan laughed non-stop. He didn't know anything about military training, and he didn't think that the modern formation method was so strange. He could really surpass the ancient times. If he was good at it, he would be better than
The most powerful people in all dynasties are rich!
Hong Chengchou's words of distress were true. Not counting the use rights of twenty acres of land, the salary alone was twice that of the Ming army. If calculated based on the amount obtained, the gap should be six times.
Not to mention food consumption. The military rations of the Ming Dynasty are comparable to the food in the canteen. New food is impossible. Old food is good. Many of them are simply moldy or mixed with wheat bran.
What’s even worse is to mix sand directly. Of course, to be crazy, just mix rice into the sand...
If you eat a bug, don't make a fuss, just pick it out and continue eating. These are all basic operations.
If it's Wang Xuan's side, it's all new food, so that's enough!
Meat is indispensable in every meal, and now it is still mainly fish, but occasionally there are other meats, such as pork, rabbit and so on.
Pork was not popular before, mainly because it was not tasty and too spicy.
In addition, it is not easy to raise. Pigs in ancient times did not eat and sleep. Instead, they were not much different from wild boars. They were particularly violent. Of course, Wang Xuan knew the reason and found some people who were good at 'sword skills' to give them to them.
The pigs clicked like this, and their "roots of right and wrong" were eliminated. From then on, the pigs became extremely docile and the meat became delicious.
In fact, this is not only true for pigs, but also for other horses, cattle, and sheep. Even for humans, there will be obvious changes after the 'click'. This is called exuberance of sex causing disaster, and cutting it will cure it permanently.
At first, Wang Xuan did not have such talents under his command, so he still took action indiscriminately. As a mentor, he trained a group of outstanding talents. Now, this group of "craftsmen" are very popular, and they are busy every day without touching the ground.
(There are a lot of messy things today. I started typing at ten o'clock in the evening. I will post this chapter first. There is another chapter that can only be posted in a hundred days... Sorry, I can only do typing overnight.)
