Zhu Linmiao also nodded happily when she heard this, and immediately unfolded the secret report, which was played by Song He, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei who went to Yuanzhou to assist Zeng Jian. It describes in detail how Lord Zeng and Gonggong Feng have recently repelled the murderers who intimidated the contractors and recovered the encroached public land, starting from Fenyi County and passing through Wanzai, Gaocun, Pingxiang and other counties.

Zhu Linmiao looked at Feng Kang's various insidious, treacherous and even scoundrel methods on the secret report, which made the local officials in Yuanzhou want to cry without tears, and finally had to honestly let go of the people to contract the Huangzhuang, and couldn't help but smile on his face. These civilian, official and gentry cliques who are full of benevolence and morality, but in fact only care about their own interests and hinder the development of the country, have to use Feng Kang to deal with them.

When he thought of this, he suddenly smiled, and couldn't help but think that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was also like himself now, and wanted to reform the evils of the times, but he was constrained by the civil officials of the Donglin Party at all levels and was not allowed to use it.

In the end, Tianqi had no choice but to create Wei Zhongxian, a "big killer", and within two years, the Donglin Party was almost completely collapsed, the national finances were greatly improved, and the people's lives gradually became stable. However, the eunuchs' participation in state politics also caused serious consequences, Wei Zhongxian embezzled and took bribes, formed a party for personal gain, and sold official positions, and the harm was not much less than that of the Donglin Party.

He sighed a long sigh, to deal with the clique of civil officials and gentry, simply relying on eunuchs to engage in nonsense is not the way after all, and it is necessary to thoroughly reform the rule of officials, and use a scientific and fair selection, assessment, and supervision mechanism to standardize the behavior of officials, this is the right way. It's just that now the main energy of the Ming Dynasty is to deal with foreign enemies, and if the action is too big, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the DPRK and adversely affect the recovery of rivers and mountains.

You still have to eat the rice in one bite. He said in his heart, but taking advantage of the reason of Yuanzhou Mansion, he could knock on these officials first, which could be regarded as a wake-up call for them, and also as a warm-up for the great changes in the future......

Zhu Linmiao looked at the date of the secret report again, it was six days ago, so he looked at the Jinyi guard who was delivering the message and said, "The affairs of Yuanzhou Mansion are doing well, Zeng Jian should have left to return to Beijing now, right?" ”

The brocade guard hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, Lord Zeng was in Yichun, the seat of Yuanzhou Mansion five days ago. Or because the movements in Yuanzhou Mansion before alarmed Cheng Fude, the prefect of Yuanzhou, he made careful arrangements in Yichun in advance, so Zeng Daren has been here for a long time, but there is not much progress. He bowed his hand again and said, "Your Highness, do you want Jinyiwei to use some extraordinary means......

Zhu Linmiao knew that the "extraordinary measures" he mentioned were nothing more than secretly threatening, extorting confessions from Cheng Fude's subordinates, and making people bite and so on.

He shook his head resolutely, "Jin Yiwei's original method will be collected in the future, and evidence must be emphasized in everything, if I let me know that you have committed assassination and unjust imprisonment, I will not be spared!"

"As for Yichun, since more than ninety percent of the affairs of Huangzhuang in Yuanzhou Mansion have been completed, then Governor Cheng should be commended. You go and tell Zeng Jian, just wait for it to change. ”

"Commendation?" The second monk of the brocade-clothed guard was puzzled, so he had to respond respectfully, "Yes, my subordinates should remember His Highness's teachings." The subordinates then returned to Yuanzhou. ”

After the brocade guard left, Zhen Zhen was also quite puzzled: "Your Highness, why do you still want to reward Cheng Fude for stumbling with the imperial court?" ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said: "Divide and disintegrate, set an example." The Huangzhuang contract of Yuanzhou Mansion was rolled out, which was a bad start in the eyes of the gentry and landlords. As the prefect, Cheng Fude must be under pressure from all sides, and my side praises him with great fanfare, which is to cut off his back road. You see, things in Yichun will soon be resolved. ”

If you want to say that it is really no problem to march and fight, Zhen is really fine, but she is a layman in the political struggle, and she didn't hear a reason for a long time, so she simply continued to talk about dealing with the attack and harassment of Jiangbei Jian.

"Your Highness, in addition to the area from Yingtianfu to Jiangyin, Wu Sangui's subordinates have also invaded Chuzhou, Hezhou and even Luzhou and other places in the west several times. There are many cavalry in the Wu thief's department, and they come and go very quickly, and the prefect of Chuzhou immediately asks for help, and when our reinforcements rush to arrive, the thief has plundered and returned. In less than a month, 1670,000 people have been displaced. ”

Wu Sangui, this national thief! Zhu Linmiao frowned, and said that Jianlu likes to plunder, but in fact, when the Guanning cavalry, the former Ming army, plundered their own people, their level was by no means worse than that of the Qing army. In addition, Wu Sangui is anxious to invite credit in front of his master, and his attack will inevitably be ruthless, and the situation in Chuzhou and Hezhou can be imagined.

It's just that Chuzhou and Hezhou are both west of Nanzhili and northeast of the Yangtze River. And the main defense line of the Ming Dynasty is still south of the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to take care of these state capitals in the north of the Yangtze River. The previous time, Chen Bangyan took advantage of Hong Chengchou to empty the Qing army in these places, and regained these lost territories without bloodshed, but he failed to leave too many troops to defend.

Although the Ming army on the south bank of the Yangtze River did not dare to besiege Chuzhou and other places, if it continued to be looted so frequently by the Guanning army, the local area would inevitably be rotten.

Zhen Zhen said again: "Your Highness, it has been difficult to guard the Yangtze River since ancient times, and it is easy to guard the Huai River. The Yangtze River is flat, and there are no less than 100 places that can land on the shore, and the terrain along the Huai River is steep, and there are many mountains to rely on. In my opinion, our army can go north from Chuzhou, seize Fengyang Mansion in one fell swoop, and then rely on the Huai River fortification to press the thieves to a corner of Yangzhou Mansion. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded slightly when he heard this, Jianyu's defensive strength in Fengyang Mansion is not strong, and the Ming army should soon be able to recover the south of the Huai River from Huizhou, and at the same time take Fengyang, the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, which is also of great political significance.

However, at present, the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion have to keep an eye on Duoduo and Wu Sangui's main forces in Yangzhou, and it is not appropriate to mobilize them in large quantities. It seems that the plan to besiege He Tengjiao can only be postponed, and the troops will be divided to deal with the Wu thief first.

"It is indeed more appropriate to establish a defensive line along the Huai River, and I will immediately ask the General Staff Department to draw up a charter after I return to Nanjing......

"Cabinet Department," Yan Qiheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, said very worriedly, "This matter of Yuanzhou, it seems that the Auxiliary Political King is going to move seriously. At present, there is only Yichun left, and Cheng Fude is still gritting his teeth and holding on. You see, should we do something about it......"

Zhu Jizuo put down the tea bowl in his hand, shook his head and said: "Now that Jiangnan is decided, Dongyu is still watching in Yangzhou, so it is not appropriate to make too much movement." messed up the court, only to make the thief happy. ”

"Then, just like this, watching the civil labor force be taken away by the imperial village?"

"Hold your breath." Zhu Jizuo glanced at him, "Since Yuan Pengnian has already come out, the situation in Yuanzhou has become the current situation, how can he give up?"

"You first communicate with the courtiers, and when Yuan Pengnian jumps out, you will let everyone follow and create public opinion, and then make the official come to the table. Remember, at that time, only taxes will be mentioned, and there should be no more discussion about the enclosure of the imperial estate. ”

"Yes, the student wrote it down."

"I'll take care of the cabinet, even if the elder Huang Ge is also unhappy with the affairs of the Imperial Village, most of them will help from the side, at least they won't oppose it too much."
