Chapter 177 Closing Statement

Entering the pass from the Honger Mountain Pass of the Great Wall, back to the Hongshankou Valley where grain is hidden outside Yulin Fort. The entire valley has now become a huge warehouse, and the piles of grain are simply unbearable.

Zhao Zi and Chen Ce came up from afar. Zhao Zi asked anxiously: "What is the battle situation, how are our brothers casualties?"

Zhao Xing said to him sadly: "We defeated the enemy, but our Tiqi brothers lost nearly 200." But he turned to announce loudly: "But we defeated the five thousand Tartars who were preparing to go east and joined Huang Taiji invading the capital. Among them, more than a thousand were annihilated, the important salt fields of the Mongols were burned, and no less than 1,000 people were burned to death, and more than a thousand war horses were seized. We obtained a great victory that had not been seen in a century." Then he raised his arms and shouted: "Tiqi is mighty, the Ming is mighty."

Everyone shouted together, "The Tiqi is mighty and the Ming is mighty."

With food and military morale stable, Zhao Xing's plan can begin vigorously. Now, in front of Zhao Xing, a piece of white paper is spread out, and he will let him outline it.

"Long live, I personally went to the Northern Fufu Department to guard Zhao Xing, and asked the Sheng'an to fight for his own actions--" Zhao Xing was writing a memorial to Chongzhen. He needed to report every three days and summarize every ten days.

Zhao Xing’s memorial is unique. When reporting the official title, you must add the four words "Bronze-in-law" army. This is to remind Chongzhen at all times that I am your personal army. Don’t doubt it at any time, don’t lay off it at any time. Let’s train yourself as a confidant to become an isolated minister, don’t make trouble.

The second characteristic of Zhao Xing's memorial was that his unreasonable and cited the classics. His memorial was a straightforward and plain language. Unlike the Hongwu period, Ru Taisu, the Minister of Justice, wrote a memorial of more than 17,000 words. Zhu Yuanzhang asked the Secretary of the Secretariat Wang Min to read it. By 6,300 words, he had not yet heard the reason. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was busy every day, was furious and ordered people to beat Ru Taisu in front of all civil and military officials.

Chongzhen is now busier than his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhao Xing did not intend to cause trouble for Chongzhen and let him beat him up. He did not have the quirks of the Donglin Party members.

The fundamental reason is that Zhao Xing has no ancient culture and wants to be arrogant, he doesn't have it either.

He reported to Chongzhen in detail about the process of quelling the mutiny, and then packaged the robbery as Mongolian invaders. The battle report said that Wang Jinzhong and Zhao He learned from their mistakes and were deeply grateful to the emperor's grace. He fought to the death of the Great Wall, beheading 1,55 Tartars, and asked the emperor to make up for his merits and forgive him for his crimes and restore his post.

In this battle, Hong Chengchou's general He Renlong Qianzong bravely took the lead, chasing the Tartars into the grassland for 500 miles, killing the Tartars in a battle, and bringing back two hundred heads. He should be promoted to the garrison.

Hong Chengchou made contributions to raising grain and grass for the army, so he should be requested to be sealed.

I brought my own county lord Zhang Cuiyan to take the arrows and stones, and I went in and out and was covered in blood. I won the top ten Tartars for the emperor. As for how to reward, you can do it. In the end, the border army is poor and weak, and needs to be rectified, so I want to stay here for a while, and wait until this fall, and then return to Beijing. Please be kind to the emperor.

Then I wrote a letter to Zhu Chenguang and Guo Guangsheng, who were in charge, but some replies from the last time I came to the official letter.

Then I wrote a letter to my mother, from daily life to warm clothes, then Xiaoya’s snacks and the terrible study, then the little dog’s bones and its great career to lose weight.

Then there are brothers Zhang Zhi, Wang Dazhuang, etc.

Anyway, every time I write a letter, I have to consume a fat goose's feathers.

Then there is Cui Yan's letter and Xiufen's letter. Anyway, every time the 600-mile rush is sent back, it is overloaded.

After these things are handled, what is started is to make up for Tiqi.

After two major wars, the Tiqi suffered heavy losses. Now only 300 people can fight, and the vacancies are 300. This must be supplemented, because this is the foundation for saving one's life in the future.

Recruiting Tiqi is very easy. There is no shortage of tough and loyal men in the northwest. It is a dream to find such a generous amount of money and food treatment in such a difficult time.

The Sanbai Tiqi completed the selection of the essence in the blink of an eye. When he was teaching them, he found that among the group, there was a young man named Zhifeng, who was not only skilled in martial arts but also literary, capable and thoughtful, and was a good seedling. So, without saying a word, he first told the Jinyiwei Baihu to the hundred households, staring at this guy who was still calm in the face of the sudden Gao Sheng, Zhao Xing thought badly: "If you can give me some bribes, I will let you stand alone in the blink of an eye, and a thousand households will be yours. If you keep bribing me, I will be willing to give it to you by a Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei Fushu Department." Thinking of his dark mentality, Zhao Xing thought that he should give Zhifeng a slight attack.

"Sir, the Jinyiwei is notorious all over the world."

Zhao Xing stopped: "It is in the mouths of officials and scholars, not in the hearts of the real people, because our Jinyiwei specializes in dealing with officials and so-called gentlemen. Oh, by the way, are you a gentleman?" Zhao Xing asked Zhifeng seriously, "We are notorious units, and here, the way of gentlemen cannot work."

Zhifeng smiled: "What I control is the hearts of heaven and man. The so-called gentlemen have true or falsehood, but even true gentlemen, if they are blindly stubborn and unchanging, I will not take them." He did not admit whether he was a gentleman.

Zhao Xing smiled relaxedly, leaned his back on the chair and smiled, "I'm relieved." Then he explained, "Our Jinyiwei is to monitor officials and those who are planning illegal. Our profession determines that we must treat everyone in the world with doubt. If you are not a real villain, but a real gentleman, then you are not suitable for our Jinyiwei."

Zhifeng said calmly: "Instead of being a fake gentleman, it is better to be a fake villain who truly serves the country and the people. Only by enjoying life will you not be unfair to come to this world once."

Zhao Xing nodded appreciatively: "In this era, in this dark officialdom, it is very difficult to be a true gentleman. Donglin claims to be a member of the gentlemen of the Song Dynasty. Bah, Song is a true gentleman, and nowadays, they are all fake gentlemen who are thieves and prostitutes seeking selfish interests. For example, the so-called gentlemen today cannot even write a poem from the Song Dynasty, so why are they talking about the style of gentlemen?" Then he lamented: "Now, even shit, pee and fart have become poetry, how sad is this for the entire cultural world?"

Of course, Zhifeng did not know Jia Qianqian's new poetry school, but he admired Zhao Xing's insights and was promising. "It is precisely because of this that his subordinates abandoned self-study, joined the army, and became a pioneer in turning the world's style."

"If you have great ambitions, treat it as a big thing, and try it under my hands, and then change the world with me."

Looking at Zhifeng who was excited and stride away, Cuiyan pinched Zhao Xing's arm: "You have already taken away, but you didn't expect that you have taken away an aspiring young man. You are a monster and you are a harmer.
Chapter completed!
