One thousand three hundred seventy-eight chapters(1/3)
February of the 23rd year of Wanli.
Liaodong won victory.
First, in October last year, the chief of the Taining tribe joined forces with Xiao Deqing of the Duoyan tribe, Bo Yaner of the Fuyu tribe, and Bu Yantai-Zhou of the Chahar tribe invaded Liaodong.
At that time, Liaodong General Dong Yiyuan discussed with Liaodong Governor Guo Zhengyu. Although the Chahar tribe had many troops, it was far away from Guangning. Our army could defeat the three divisions including Taining first. In this way, the Chahar tribes retreated without fighting.
So Guo Zhengyu followed Dong Yiyuan's strategy and planned in Guangning to set up an ambush to defeat the three divisions. Bo Yan'er of Fuyu's tribe was killed in battle, and Taining's tribe seriously injured rabbits, captured and beheaded more than 540 people, and seized 2,000 cattle, horses, and camels.
The emperor was very happy to promote Dong Yiyuan to the left governor, and was granted the title of Prince Taibao, and was granted the title of commander of our guard for generations.
Because he was worried that the Taining tribe would return, Dong Yiyuan selected elite soldiers and Liaohaidao Senator Yang Hao to march for 400 miles in the ice and snowy land in Liaodong, and attacked the Taining tribe's nest three days and three nights later.
The Ming army beheaded a total of 120 levels in the victory, seized countless cattle, horses and weapons, and almost no casualties were found.
The Taining tribe killed Rabbit soon after being seriously injured and the rest of the tribe dispersed. As for the Chahar tribe, which originally wanted to jointly invade with the Taining tribe, they also fled.
The emperor was very happy to have made great contributions to the battle, so he immediately added Dong Yiyuan to the second rank, and was promoted from generation to generation.
The emperor paid great attention to martial arts, and believed that Guo Zhengyu and Yang Hao were inspecting, believing that both of them were good talents.
Yang Hao was promoted to Deputy Envoy of Liaohai Road for his military achievements. I also knew that Yang Hao was serving as the Liaohai Road Senate to reclaim more than 130 hectares of wasteland, and stored more than 18,000 stones of grain every year. He was promoted to Yang Hao and Liaohai Road to participate in politics, entering the ranks of third-rank senior officials.
As for Guo Zhengyu's rule of law to rectify Liaodong, and after defeating Taining, Fuyu and other troops, he proposed a strategy of dividing and winning over.
In his memorial to the emperor, he said that the Taining tribe was severely injured and it was not feared for a moment. Now only Fuyu and Duoyan tribes are enemies of our Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Deqing, the chief of Fuyu tribe, already regretted that he could allow him to open the market to win over it, as a way to differentiate between Fuyu and Duoyan tribes.
After hearing this, the emperor decided to adopt it and allowed Guo Zhengyu to open the market in Yizhou.
So in order to repay the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Deqing, the chief of Fuyu tribe, secretly informed Minister Duoyan's invasion. After Guo Zhengyu learned the news in advance, he used Li Rumei as the general to defeat Duoyan's troops in Jinzhou.
When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed. Not only did he praise Shi Xing, the Minister of War, and immediately issued an order to promote Guo Zhengyu from the right assistant censor to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, to the third rank, and ordered Guo Zhengyu to go to Beijing to report his duties.
Guo Zhengyu also created an official myth. He was not from Hanlin and was appointed as the third-rank minister after twelve years of official career.
In front of Zhengyang Gate, the editor of the Yanjing Times was broken by Lin Yanchao's complaints, and then endured the humiliation of discrimination by others and passed the Jinshi exam.
Originally, his articles could be among the best, but because of his lameness, he was deposed as the last of the Three Ages in the palace examination.
The subsequent library selection could have stood out with his talent, but in order to make his disciples selected, the library teacher Shen Yiguan also rejected Guo Zhengyu for his appearance.
Now Guo Zhengyu is back here.
Together with Guo Zhengyu were Tang Xianzu, Qu Hengjiang, Lu Wanjia and others.
Now that I have entered Beijing again, everyone feels that the past is like clouds and smoke.
"I can finally return to the capital in a noble way." Qu Hengjiang sighed. He was so energetic and chivalrous that year, but now he is more and more smart and capable.
Mr. Lu Wanjia spoke out: "The teacher went to the world to be a public messenger, and the Yanjing Times was sealed off. Brother Qu, Brother Tang, you will escape first, wander around the world, and hide in the world."
"Later, the teacher got up and went to Beijing. Although we had no worries about our lives, we had no intention of becoming an official. We traveled around the country to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and also to understand the customs and folk customs."
Tang Xianzu smiled and said, "Yes, we have traveled many places over the years, and we printed the entitle in the time of the time, 'Seeking the world's strange stories and magnificent knowledge to know the vastness of the world'."
"No, no," Qu Hengjiang retorted, "I think it's like another publication title, 'The world's magnificent, eccentric, and extraordinary view, often lies in the danger and distance, and it is rare for people to reach it, so those who have ambition cannot reach it'."
"This is appropriate." Tang Xianzu and Lu Wanjia both agreed and then burst into laughter.
Even Guo Zhengyu lined up to enter the pass and smiled slightly.
"The scholar's spirit is full of vitality!"
The frequent talks of everyone made Guo Zhengyu return to his youth and not yet in office.
"At that time, I was full of passion and hoped that the court could use the teacher's skills to reform, so that I would do my best to keep my name in history in the future." Lu Wanjia summarized.
Qu Hengjiangjiang joked when he heard this: "That's also the nameless master of Taiwan's patrol in history. Where is the turn of unknown men like you and me?"
Guo Zhengyu turned around and smiled, "I dare not take it."
Tang Xianzu said: "This is true. If the court had not been appointed as the governor of Tianjin as the governor of the Central Committee of the State Council, how could we have the opportunity to serve as an employee of the tutoring court?"
"It's right. If it weren't for Lord Futai, we wouldn't have any place to use our skills." Lu Wanjia and Qu Hengjiang agreed.
"I dare not take it. I'm not happy to be aware of you. You guys come and help me.
Guo Zhengyu looked at the Zhengyang Gate Tower and said solemnly: "Although the Times was sealed and no longer published, perhaps not many people in the capital remember it today. But I will never forget the purpose of publishing newspapers, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
Everyone remembered the past and nodded. Tang Xianzu said, "Twelve years have passed, and I dare not forget this one."
"Yes, just like the teacher, I take the world as my responsibility to take the rise and fall of the world, and I don't think I am humble and don't do anything to do the work." Lu Wanjia said so.
In fact, after Guo Zhengyu was in charge of Liaodong, they cooperated to reclaim wasteland in the local area and encouraged the people to plant corn and sweet potatoes, which actually did a lot of good things for the people.
"What are you talking about? You can't come!" The city soldiers from Zhengyangmen scolded.
Guo Zhengyu smiled and immediately asked someone to present the document.
When the city soldiers saw this, they immediately bowed and said, "I don't know Mount Tai. Please ask Lord Fu Tai to atone for his sins!"
The city soldiers thought to themselves that if the governor of Liaodong and other ranks of border officials came to Beijing, even if there were not a few troops leading the way, there were several large chariots full of Tu Yi who were carrying some officials in Beijing, at least there were groups of servants behind him.
A cripple-like simplified person like Guo Zhengyu is even worse than a seventh-rank magistrate.
Then Guo Zhengyu entered Beijing from Zhengyang Gate.
The first thing Guo Zhengyu did after he arrived in Beijing was to submit a post to the Ministry of War. Even if he was a magistrate like him who came to Beijing, he would not meet him whenever he wanted to see him.
However, Guo Zhengyu has border achievements, and even Shi Xinghe and the Ministry of War were commended by the emperor, so the officials of the Ministry of War specially arranged for Guo Zhengyu to have a time the next afternoon.
After Guo Zhengyu heard about it, the other party immediately sealed a door bag, which made the other party very satisfied.
This time, the Ministry of War had to handle some of the money. Guo Zhengyu had already prepared this amount of money. Although Guo Zhengyu was an official in Liaodong, he had no intention of bypassing these bad habits in the officialdom.
If you do it well, you can reduce trouble and avoid detours.
This is completely different from Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong's Qing was the true Qing Dynasty. The reason why Hanlin was more noble was that they were dealing with each other in different ways.
"It's been done," Qu Hengjiang suggested, "Yes, I don't know what Chi Sheng is? How about we go and find him?"
After hearing Qu Hengjiang mention Sun Chengzong's name, Guo Zhengyu remained silent.
As we all know, in the past, people from the Yanjing Times had a very good relationship with Sun Chengzong. Lin Yanchao was demoted to Guide, and Sun Chengzong would rather give up his qualifications to become an official in the society and follow Lin Yanchao. Now...
However, Guo Zhengyu and Sun Chengzong had a disagreement, and I don’t know where this disagreement started.
Others thought that Sun Chengzong and Guo Zhengyu were one inside and one outside, or that the two had a higher status and were full of concerns, and they were not as similar as before.
But both of them knew the reasons.
Seeing Guo Zhengyu's expression, Lu Wanjia immediately said, "Hey, Zhisheng is currently teaching a book to the eldest son of the emperor in Ciqing Palace. What is the place we can see if we want to see it."
Qu Hengjiang said: "Zhisheng is not such a person..."
Qu Hengjiang wanted to speak again but interrupted Lu Wanjia.
Guo Zhengyu turned around and said, "Zhisheng, we must see it, but now... I'll go to the Xinmin Daily Museum first!"
After hearing Guo Zhengyu's words, everyone applauded.
Several people came to Xinmin Newspaper in carriages.
As soon as I got off the carriage, everyone felt that the atmosphere was different.
In the Beijing government offices, the access controls are strictly controlled by stone lions, and the doors facing the nostrils to the sky. However, the Xinmin Newspaper is different. There are almost no access controls here, and others are entering and exiting at will.
Everyone asked for the way upstairs, but they saw that the editors along the way were all smoky and hadn't slept for several days.
Even if you are born in Hanlin, it is roughly the same.
Everyone was focused, focused and focused on the manuscripts in their hands. Such an atmosphere was something that Guo Zhengyu and others had never seen in other yamen.
Soon they met Fang Congzhe in the editor-in-chief's room.
Fang Congzhe is now famous. After Sun Chengzong's hand, he has made the Xinmin Daily business very popular. Everyone is happy to see him.
Soon everyone else retreated, only Fang Congzhe and Guo Zhengyu stayed in the room.
Just as Guo Zhengyu was alienated from Sun Chengzong at some time, he and Fang Congzhe were also close to each other.
As a traditional scholar, Guo Zhengyu was still somewhat morally clean when he first entered the officialdom, so he had close contacts with Sun Chengzong, but on the contrary, he had less contact with Fang Congzhe, who was deeply in a deep mind.
But later Lin Yanchao introduced Fang Congzhe to Guo Zhengyu, so the two gradually got closer.
The two closed the door and talked and discussed the big thing, Fang Congzhe said: "My teacher's situation is not very good now."
Guo Zhengyu sighed: "I don't understand why my teacher insists on reviving Taiyue's reputation?"
Fang Congzhe said: "This matter is a long story. My teacher once said that when he met the king two years ago, the emperor quoted Taizu's words to warn that the Yuan Dynasty lost the world because of lenientness, but the loss of lenientness. On the contrary, Qin lost the world because of lenientness. Han promoted it to help it with lenientness and lenientness, which was to get it. Therefore, Taizu helped it with lenientness and lenientness, and took the way to help it with lenientness and lenientness."
"Taizu helped him with his strength, so he abolished the prime minister and set up Jinyiwei, used empty seal cases and other cases to purify corrupt officials. He ascended the throne for 31 years without any fatigue, and rectified state affairs. How do you think about the beautiful life?"
Guo Zhengyu said: "The way to be broad and fierce is to judge. You should not blindly use force, nor should you blindly use force. You should not be broad and strong for a long time. This is just like a bowstring tightly and loosely, you can only pass through a hundred steps!"
Fang Congzhe slapped his legs and praised: "That's true, no wonder his mentor often says that you can understand his feelings best among all the students."
Guo Zhengyu smiled. Even though Lin Yanchao thought so in his heart, he would never say this in front of his disciples.
But when Guo Zhengyu said, "Where can you get Zhonghan, let's continue."
To be continued...
