Chongzhen Undergraduates

When Zhu Youjian disembarked at Chaotianmen Wharf, Zeng Ying said that he would present a case to welcome Shengjia, but Zhu Youjian stopped him.

"I heard that people in Sichuan call you "Mr. Zeng", right?" Zhu Youjian looked at Zeng Ying with a smile. He still liked this rising star in Sichuan from the bottom of his heart.

Although Zeng Ying ranked behind Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in terms of fighting skills, Liu Wenxiu was obviously not his opponent.

The Daxi Army has been fighting for many years, and it is not uncommon for two military geniuses to emerge, but Zeng Ying can only be regarded as a rookie in Sichuan, and he can command tens of thousands of troops at the age of 25, which shows that he is not an ordinary person.At least much stronger than Deng Zhirong.

What's more, Yu Dahai and Li Zhanchun under Zeng Ying are relatively young, both in their early twenties.Based on the soldiers led by these three young men in their 20s, Zhu Youjian can guess that the age of the Chongqing defenders is generally too young.

"The emperor praised me a lot. This is the encouragement from the folks in Sichuan." Zeng Ying's hometown is from Putian, Fujian. She came to Sichuan with her father who was an official since she was a child, and she can speak Sichuan dialect.

"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Your subordinates will be reorganized on the spot. You will stay as a brigade commander. Li Zhanchun, Zhang Tianxiang, Mou Handing, Li Ding, Yu Chong, Tao Kefa, etc. will report to the staff office of the military headquarters, and Yu Dahai will serve as the Chongqing water commander. Master Admiral, that's it!"

Zeng Ying was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhu Youjian to be so generous and let him be a general.And basically all of his subordinates have been appointed. Although he doesn't know who the staff officer is for the time being, he thinks it's not bad to hear the word "Military Department".

In Zhu Youjian's vision, if the Xinchuan Army wants to fight against Houjin in Central Sichuan, it cannot be just an army, it must be a legion, it must be the Sichuan Army.

It is impossible to form a large army without a leading general. Since Zeng Ying is more capable, he should train his subordinates.

The so-called staff office is more of a short-term training class. It is necessary to strengthen ideological education and familiarize these people with some rules of the new army as soon as possible.

Since Dang Shousu led the troops into Sichuan, he stayed and participated in the reorganization.As for the navy, he has a general who understands water warfare in his hands, and Yu Dahai happens to stay in his post.

After Zeng Ying's subordinates got rid of the old and weak, there were still [-] people left, and they were all young people, which completely exceeded Zhu Youjian's expectations.In terms of age group, the Xinchuan Army is the youngest army in Ming Dynasty.

In terms of civil servants, Liu Linchang, the former head of the Nanjing Nanjing Household Department, and Ma Gan, the military preparation officer, etc., the basic administrative team can still operate normally, which can be regarded as a good fundamental.

Just when Zhu Youjian was actively preparing to participate in the situation in Sichuan, Nanjing sent a piece of information saying that the Mongols in Hou Jin's rear had rebelled.Dorgon's original plan to enter Shu was temporarily put on hold. Instead, he mobilized some troops from Hanzhong to go north, and entered Hetao from northern Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion.

Zhu Youjian only remembered that there was a Mongolian rebellion in this period of history, but he couldn't remember the specific time.

The resistance of the herdsmen is obvious. Although Hong Chengchou's active production recovery has brought benefits to the northern part of the Central Plains, it has squeezed the various tribes of Mongolia. This is not happy for anyone.

Hou Jin entered Shuzhong a year later than in history, which is both good and bad for Zhu Youjian.He is now very worried about Zhang Xianzhong's overreaction to the Xinchuan Army's occupation of Chongqing.

If this is the case, then the Ming army will inevitably have to fight the Daxi army in advance.Zhu Youjian was actually a little afraid of facing Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo from the bottom of his heart. No matter who these two came, Zhu Youjian felt that it was difficult for him to win.

The good thing is that he has time to free up his hands to rectify the recovered places. According to his vision, Sichuan will implement a new administrative system amidst the war.

For example, officials and gentry pay grain together. This matter can only be carried out in places like Sichuan where the landlords and gentry have been smashed, and the resistance is the least.If it was Jiangsu and Zhejiang, don't even think about it.

"Where are the people sent by Ma Shiying?" Zhu Youjian stared at Daxinan, thinking about how many people he still needs.

"We have already arrived in Yiling. Does the emperor plan to let them go by land or by water?" Ma Gan, the nominal governor of Sichuan, temporarily became Zhu Youjian's personal secretary, assisting Zhu Youjian in handling government affairs.

"The waterway is a blessing, let them all go by land. The waterway must be reserved for transporting military supplies." Zhu Youjian rolled his eyelids, and he never thought about making it so easy for these future officials.

The Sichuan officials logically have nothing to do with Donglin, but Wang Yingxiong, who is currently the most powerful person in charge, is from Sichuan, but he is a Donglin through and through.

Whether it is Zeng Ying or Ma Gan, they are very capable in Sichuan, but they are at odds with Wang Yingxiong.

As early as the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wang Yingxiong formed a party with Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren; in the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), Zhang Xianzhong broke Fengyang and destroyed the imperial tomb. According to Wu Zhenying, he was impeached by Fan Shutai, dismissed from office, and returned to Ba County.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen (1642), Zhou Yanru recommended Wang Yingxiong as his own generation, and with his ruthlessness as aid, he called Wang Yingxiong into the court in November of winter.In the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643, Zhou Yanru died, Wang Yingxiong arrived in Beijing, please enter the right, not allowed; please return to the field, allow it. Return to Ba County in Jiangxi from Jinling.

This Wang Yingxiong is completely the root of the disaster, a veteran of forming a party for personal gain. It should be said that Emperor Chongzhen understood the virtue of this guy after he eliminated Zhou Yanru.

In other words, Wang Yingxiong himself occupied Zunyi and disrespected Emperor Ming. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the relationship between himself and the emperor was already on fire.

Now that Zhu Youjian has already occupied Chongqing, can he still be allowed to continue to harm the place?

The new officials sent by the Ministry of Officials are here to dig out the roots of these people.

Chapter 3: Inertial thinking mixed with officialdom

Because of Zhu Youjian's south crossing, the Shapu Rebellion in Yunnan did not break out, but the situation in Yunnan was not as optimistic as expected.

Lu Daqi's arrival in Kongming helped Mu Tianbo stabilize Yunnan, and he indirectly helped the Ming Dynasty a great favor.Zhu Youjian has not paid much attention to the affairs of the southern provinces since his crossing to the south, and all depends on the results of the south crossing.

Some Ming fans said that Zhu Youjian should not travel to the south. Some people thought that this idea was based on the phrase "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!" In fact, the reason why Nanming has been fighting constantly is because the emperor died in the capital, and the country was originally a country. caused by injustice.

If it is said that Zhu Youjian should not travel to the south because he is afraid of the Donglin Party in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then the benefits of traveling to the south are obviously greater than not traveling to the south.After crossing to the south, apart from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, several other provinces will be able to form a united front, and the interior will be much more stable.

A stable internal situation is the spiritual Great Wall against foreign aggression.

When Lu Daqi and Mu Tianbo led [-] Dian troops into Guiyang after a month's long journey, Wang Yingxiong in Zunyi City was completely panicked.

Wang Yingxiong opened a mansion in Zunyi without the approval of the court.He is just a former minister of the Ministry of Rites who has just ceased to be an official. What qualifications does he have to open a government and appoint staff?This guy is clearly trying to mess things up.

Why did the Yongli Dynasty have constant internal strife? There were a total of three major internal strife. The first time was that Wang Yingxiong and his confidant Wang Xiang kept eliminating dissidents and constantly fighting for power and profit; It is Yongli's father-in-law who wants to control power by relying on his power.

It is said that Nanming was consumed by himself, and the internal strife caused by the party struggle took the lead, and it was the Donglin party king Yingxiong.In a sense, after Donglin encouraged Chongzhen to defeat the eunuchs, Donglin fought against himself for power.

And Wang Yingxiong substituted the "craftsmanship" of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, who fought the most fiercely, into the small court of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yingxiong thought that Zhu Youjian would be trapped in Jianghuai and would not have time to take care of the Southwest, but he did not expect that Zhu Youjian would stabilize the court situation in Nanjing for two years, which completely exceeded his previous understanding of Emperor Chongzhen.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youjian's policy in the Shizhu area was almost completely incomprehensible to him.Although it is not Zhu Youjian's original creation to turn the people into the mu and reform the land to return to the local people, Wang Yingxiong thinks that these two things will eventually fail like the Wanli Dynasty.

But the final result surprised Wang Yingxiong. Under the heavy pressure of military means, the land reform in eastern Sichuan and western Hunan went smoothly.

The ensuing rebound pressure received by officials and gentry in one system was not as great as imagined.The reason is that these places are non-Sinicized places in the eyes of scholars, and most scholars are even happy to see these places being tossed.

After the grassroots officials in these places have been slowly changed, there are still not many people who have thought deeply about the impact this matter will have on other places.

Wang Yingxiong opened a mansion in Zunyi, and many of the big landlords and gentry in central Shu fled to Zunyi with him, or they all hoped that Wang Yingxiong would be their savior.

Just as Wang Yingxiong was trying to figure out a way to deal with the Yunnan army's attack on Guiyang, news came from Chongqing, which Wang Yingxiong had given high hopes for.

"Your Excellency, something is wrong. Chongqing has already been taken by Qin Liangyu of Shizhu." Luo Yuxin, Wang Yingxiong's general in Zunyi, did not dare to conceal the military situation and could only report the truth.

"Qin Liangyu is so courageous, how dare she send troops to fight against the officers and soldiers of the court?" Fan Yiheng, another nameless governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, hid in the Southwest with a little deserter, collaborating with Wang Yingxiong.

In order to show his self-cultivation skills, Wang Yingxiong pretended to be calm and asked, "Where is Zeng Ying?"

"Zeng Ying and all his subordinates surrendered to Qin Liangyu." Luo Yuxin said in a low voice.

"Bastard, Zeng Ying's subordinates are all recruited by the supervisor, how dare the thieves..." Fan Yiheng himself couldn't find soldiers in Sichuan. From the bottom of his heart, he was quite jealous of Zeng Ying, a young man. of.

"It seems that Qin Liangyu has benefited from the emperor." Wang Yingxiong can probably guess that Qin Liangyu didn't have the guts to capture Chongqing directly, and only the Nanjing court had the guts.

"Then what shall we do?" Fan Yiheng looked at Wang Yingxiong eagerly. Since this old fox dared to confront the court, he must have some means of his own.

Wang Yingxiong didn't speak, he just walked back and forth in the hall.After a long time of burning incense, Wang Yingxiong sat back on the chair again and said:

"Send someone to welcome Lu Daqi to Zunyi."

"Supervisor must not..." Fan Yiheng hurriedly stopped, if the power is handed over, how will they have a good life?
