Chapter 1143: The North
In this case, the high arch can be said to be prosperous and show its talents. Working day and night, it can be said that he has done his best, and one measure after another has been implemented, healing the sick of this huge empire, so that this huge empire has gradually regained its youth.
Now the most beautiful thing in the whole Ming Dynasty is the imperial envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, who seems to never know tiredness, and frantically impeaches one official after another, from the university scholar to the small county order. No matter how big or small the mistake is, as long as they can be caught, they will launch a violent impeachment.
As a result, a large number of officials are impeached every month, both big tigers and small flies. In this way, countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials were dismissed, and officials who were vegetarian were also dismissed and replaced with new officials, and a fresh wind blew in the officialdom, correcting many cumbersome malpractices in work.
Da Ming seems to be on the right path, and it seems that it is about to reach its peak.
The government and the opposition praised Gao Gong, but there were also voices cursing Gao Gong, because Gao Gong did not replace as many new officials as he dismissed, but began to eliminate some unnecessary posts, and this measure came out and laid off more than 5,000 officials. This can't help but make those officials who have been dismissed scold Gao Gong, and also usher in the scolding of those scholars, because those people are watching those posts, because those posts are poured out, it will be their opportunity. As a result, Gao Gong said that those posts were banned. This gives them hope, after experiencing disappointment, how not to scold?
Luo Xin, who is far away in Liaodong, receives news from Jinyiwei every day. Now Liaodong is the last province of his disaster relief and banditry suppression, and after stabilizing this province, the disaster relief and bandit suppression will end.
Luo Xin sat behind the bookcase, looked at the news that Liu Shouyou had sent him, and sighed slightly.
The high arch is well done. However, it is also a palliative. The fundamental problem of the Ming Dynasty is still the land problem, and if this reform is not addressed, it will eventually perish.
"Brother Liu, we can go back."
"No, aren't you going to Liaodong Town?"
Luo Xin shook his head and said: "What I got was only the appointment of disaster relief and banditry, and I didn't get the will to lead the troops in Liaodong, if I go to Liaodong, it will be the crime of killing the head." Let's go back first and see how His Majesty arranges it. ”
Capital.
Palace.
Emperor Jiajing is losing his temper, Goryeo has already captured another Ming barrier, attacked the city of Liaodong Town, burned, killed and looted, and if this continues, the entire Liaodong will be owned by Goryeo. Once Goryeo occupied Liaodong, it was able to threaten the Gyeongshi at any time.
Emperor Jiajing couldn't find anyone to vent, so he vented his anger on Gao Gong's body, and at the same time, this was also a kind of suppression of Gao Gong, giving Xu Jie a chance.
However, Xu Jie didn't seem to see this opportunity, it was still like a wood carving, which made Emperor Jiajing so depressed that he almost vomited blood, so he only ordered Gao Gong to immediately come up with a way to relieve the siege of Liaodong.
Gao Gong withstood the anger of Emperor Jiajing, so he naturally poured his anger on Ma Fang's body. Others are afraid of his high arch, but Ma Fang's old qualification is not afraid at all. Shang's recounting of the situation in Liaodong is to emphasize a conclusion, and it is good to be able to hold it to this level now.
In fact, whether it is Emperor Jiajing or Gao Gong, they all know that Ma Fang is right. The main problem is that the border army does not have enough food and grass. In the past six months, for the sake of disaster relief, there was not much food for the border army at all, and the border army was hungry, and it was not easy to hold on to such an extent. If it weren't for Ma Fang's pressure on the border, I'm afraid they would have mutinied.
And at this time, Luo Xin returned to Beijing.
After returning to the capital, Luo Xin was immediately recruited to the palace by Emperor Jiajing. First affirmed Luo Xin's achievements, and then appointed Luo Xin to lead the northern army, Luo Xin and Emperor Jiajing stayed in the palace for an afternoon, and left the palace at ten o'clock in dusk.
The next day.
Luo Xin came to the arsenal and prepared to transfer a batch of equipment to Liaodong. But after seeing the equipment in the arsenal, Luo Xin was furious.
Those armors are serious and cut corners, they don't hide their hearts in the middle, they don't cover the umbilicus under them, the leaves are not strong, the sleeves are long and the arms are not fitted at all, and the bow strength is no more than one or two buckets, and the arrow length is no more than seven or eight.
Luo Xin immediately found Gao Gong, and Gao Gong was also angry. For a while, he only went to govern the civilian officials, but he neglected the military attachés. In fact, it is not negligence, but now that the military is suppressing bandits and resisting Goryeo, at this time, it is not suitable to govern the generals. Not to mention the governance of military generals, it is also not suitable for the governance of civilian officials related to armaments.
But now seeing the situation submitted by Luo Xin, Gao Gong knows that it is not possible to govern it. Otherwise, use this equipment to fight Goryeo, what a joke.
Luo Xin and Gao Gong talked for another morning, and Luo Xin left. In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Xin left the capital and headed for the southeast. He went to the southeast because Luo Sheng transported another batch of grain to Hangzhou. He was going to preside over this transaction and hand over the supplies that Da Ming had prepared for them to Luo Sheng. Then he was going to go southeast with a batch of grain and grass.
Luo is confident that even if the armor and equipment are not good, as long as there is food and grass to feed the soldiers, it is not so difficult to repel Goryeo.
Of course, it is not easy to go deep into Goryeo and attack the territory of Goryeo after repelling Goryeo. And Luo Xin didn't want to do that. Goryeo was going to leave it to Luo Sheng. When Luo Sheng completely digested the Wa Kingdom, he would go straight to Goryeo.
came to the southeast and finished the last transaction with Luo Sheng. After this transaction, Daming will no longer be short of food until the autumn arrives. And Luo Sheng also got the materials he needed, so Luo Xin took the grain and grass and headed towards Liaodong Town in the north.
The entire northern military town is short of food, not just Liaodong Town. Luo Xin came to Xuanfu and did not rush to Liaodong Town. Luo Xin knew very well that as long as the grain and grass were sent to Ma Fang, Ma Fang, who had grain and grass, would definitely be able to guard Liaodong Town. Once the soldiers are well fed, I am afraid that without Luo Xin's intervention, Ma Fang will be able to drive Goryeo out of Goryeo with a large army and regain the lost territory.
Therefore, Luo Xin sat in Xuanfu and sent people to start sending grain and grass to various military towns, and at the same time asked the person who sent grain and grass to Liaodong Town to send a letter to Ma Fang, asking him to act on his own. Completely underhanded the power to Ma Fang.
For Luo Xin's stay in the Xuan Mansion, no one in the court felt surprised. Because everyone knows that although Goryeo made a lot of trouble, it was not put in Daming's heart. As long as the grain and grass are sufficient, it is only a matter of time before Goryeo is expelled, and it does not take much time for the Ming Dynasty.
The enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the grassland.
