Chapter 821
Zhao Ming served as the regent, quickly cleared the Nanjing court, stabilized the remnants of Longwu, and gradually stabilized the Ming court.
In order to transfer as soon as possible, the impact of the "Linggu Temple Incident" will not allow the government and the public to have free time to investigate.
Zhao Ming then issued an order to calm the people and resume production, and trained a large army and prepared to launch troops to expel the Qing army in Jiangbei.
At any time, nationalism is a very effective means to unite people's hearts and divert contradictions.
Although this method often has great sequelae, Zhao Ming needs him now.
From the end of the coup in June, Zhao Ming was making people publicize the evil deeds of the Qing army in Jiangbei. In August, Zhao Ming proposed to expel the Qing army in Jiangbei, and immediately received a response from the government and the opposition, diverting everyone's attention.
Although Zhao Ming cleaned up a large number of officials from the Jianwu Dynasty, more people were continued to be appointed by Zhao Ming, and he also incorporated tens of thousands of Jiangbei troops.
Many of these people, many families and industries, were in Jiangbei. After Zhao Ming proposed to expel the Qing army in Jiangbei, their attention immediately shifted from Zhu Yihai's abolishment, his colleagues and superiors' exiled to the war against Dongqing.
Zhao Ming then further promoted the members of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the name of starting a war, allowing the members to take control of the important positions of the Nanjing court and various departments.
In just two months, the Nanjing court completely controlled Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming also began to strengthen the strength of the Nanjing court.
Nanjing, the western suburbs, Dasheng Pass.
An official boat, docked on the shore, lowered the boat board, and came down three officials in red robes and more than ten followers.
The three of them stood on the dock and saw hundreds of cargo ships moored on the side.
At this time, a team of cavalry galloped to the dock, and the general led the leader turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, saluted to the three people and said, "The last general Wang Shuang, under the order of regent, come to welcome the three cabinet ministries!"
The visitor was Du Yinxi, Jiang Yueguang, and Li Dingguo's military advisor, former deputy envoy of Yunnan, who were summoned to Nanjing, and Yang Weizhi, who was sent to Jin Cang.
Faced with the current situation of warlord separatism and the situation of three parts of the world.
There are two roads before Zhao Ming. One is to first solve the problem of internal warlord separatism, completely unify the internal situation, and then the northern expedition, eliminate the Eastern Qing Dynasty, and destroy the Zhou Kingdom.
Another way is to temporarily accept the current situation of domestic separatism, gather the strength of each town in the name of fighting against foreign enemies, and under the banner of the Nanjing court, first defeat the Eastern Qing and Zhou Kingdoms, unify the world, and then reduce the vassal states.
By then, the power of unifying the world will be enough to use relatively peaceful means to complete the act of reducing the vassal states.
Previously, the Longwu court adopted the first strategy, and wanted to reduce the vassals first, but Zhao Ming now implemented the second strategy.
This choice is because of the differences in the situations facing each other. During the Longwu period, the vassal states were too strong, and the main force in the anti-Qing Dynasty was the vassal states. The more they fought, the faster the strength of the vassal states grew, making Longwu unable to sleep or eat. Now Zhao Ming's strength is stronger than all vassal states. The main force in using troops was Zhao Ming's subordinates. There is no need to worry about the achievements of the anti-Qing Dynasty. The prefectures and counties occupied were stolen by vassal states, so you can choose the second path.
That is, the Northern Expedition was first, and the domestic vassal states needed to stabilize the domestic vassal states, so Zhao Ming made great efforts to give up the position of three Grand Secretarys to the local separatist forces, stabilize them, and allow them to temporarily be on the same footing as Nanjing and contribute to the great cause of the Northern Expedition.
In this way, Zhao Ming could not only stabilize the vassal states, but also transfer Du Yinxi and Jiang Yueguang to Nanjing to collect talents into the court, but also weaken the strength of the vassal states in disguise.
"General Wang doesn't have to be too polite!" Du Yinxi nodded slightly.
Jiang Yueguang said: "Then I will be the general who will lead the way!"
Yang Weizhi continued to look at the scene around Dasheng Pass. Seeing the merchant ships coming and going on the river, he couldn't help but sigh that this was his first time to come to Nanjing and was very curious about Jiangnan.
Wang Shuang smiled and said, "I heard that the three cabinet ministers arrived in Nanjing and asked the last general to welcome him, just in time for the afternoon cabinet discussions."
Yang Weizhi said in surprise: "Are you going to the cabinet so soon?"
Du Yinxi and Jiang Yueguang were also shocked. Unexpectedly, they had to go to the cabinet to manage politics as soon as they arrived in Nanjing.
In the past few months, the Nanjing court has undergone a major change. Although Zhao Ming has controlled the Nanjing court, he has experienced several months of chaos, as well as violent purges and personnel changes, which has almost paralyzed the Nanjing court and political affairs are in chaos.
Zhao Ming was very unreasonable because of this, and he just needed capable officials to help straighten out many matters.
Du Yinxi and Jiang Yueguang looked at each other and then said, "Since that's the case, then go to the cabinet quickly!"
"Can you all be able to ride a horse?" Wang Shuang asked immediately.
Seeing that all the three of them nodded, Wang Shuang immediately ordered the soldiers to bring horses, and everyone turned over and headed towards Nanjing.
Along the way, watching the ships shuttled across the river, Yang Weizhi couldn't help but ask: "What are so many merchant ships on this river?"
Wang Shuang explained: "Most of the west are merchant ships from Jiangxi, which are loaded with porcelain. Before, they could not be shipped out and the price was low, so some merchants went to purchase and prepared to take ships overseas."
Yang Weizhi nodded with emotion, thinking that the southwest products were rich, but unfortunately, it was difficult to travel the roads and transport them from east to west, making it difficult to be as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, Du Yinxi looked at the military camp in the Yangtze River and heard the sound of training from afar, and asked, "That's it?"
Wang Shuang explained: "The Regent wanted to drive away the Qing army in Jiangbei, which was a training and newly reorganized imperial guard!"
In recent years, Zhao Ming has conquered more than 200,000 troops, and is now reorganizing the army in the name of the Northern Expedition to completely control the army of the Nanjing court.
Du Yinxi couldn't help but nodded secretly. Although he was a political enemy, he had to admit that the King of Han had extraordinary methods.
The group ran all the way, watched all the way, asked from time to time, and when they arrived at the cabinet, Du Yinxi had already learned a general understanding of the situation in Nanjing.
At this time, everyone came to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zhao Ming had led more than ten officials to stand in front of the door and wait.
"Hahaha~ Master Du Ge, Master Jiang Ge, Master Yang Ge, King Gu, and Prince Gu have been waiting for the lord to come for many days!" Zhao Ming smiled.
He stepped forward to hold Du Yinxi's hand and looked at him with a fiery look. The Prime Minister of the Last Rescue of the Southern Ming Dynasty couldn't help but feel happy. Du Yinxi was once his idol.
Although your position is different now, since you have come to Gu Wang, can Gu Wang still guide you?
Du Yinxi pulled out his hand without any trace, looked at Zhao Ming with a stern face, bowed and said, "I heard that the Regent is eager to discuss matters, so let's start as soon as possible!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ming smiled and slapped his horse sideways and said, "The master of the Tuge is unparalleled. He is eager to contribute to the court regardless of the hard work. He is a role model!"
Du Yinxi glanced at Zhao Ming with a squinting eyes. Didn’t you ask me to wait for the matter? I didn’t expect that the regent would have many faces.
I still remember that a few months ago, Zhao Ming besieged Wuchang. His face was so arrogant and hateful, but now he looks flattering, not like the Han King under Wuchang City.
