Zhenwu chose to visit Tianjin at this critical moment. The civil officials were puzzled, but the banner owners and princes and nobles of each banner were relieved. It took only half a year since Zhenwu ascended the throne and the imperial court. He dared to leave the capital after a slight adjustment of the flags in the capital, which shows that he had great trust in the princes and commanders of each banner. This also means that the adjustment of the military generals in the capital may have ended, so they were naturally much more contented.

Prince Lian, however, knew that Zhenwu went to Tianjin to inspect the situation of the bannermen in the Tianjin military workshop. After returning to Beijing, he was very likely to start rectifying the flag affairs immediately. The flags would probably have to make major adjustments at that time. The fourteenth prince is not a person who gave up halfway. Since he had already taken action, it would be impossible to stop.

Yibeile Yinxiang began to organize the spring assessment of each banner the next day. The thoughts of the princes and princes of each banner immediately turned to this. Zhenwu made a statement. A year later, he would personally examine the training of each banner. If the lower-level assessments account for 30%, all the generals should be dismissed.

The official hats on the matter were held, the group of assistant leaders and the leaders did not dare to slack off. They all worked very hard and strictly respected the system of assessment. No one concealed false reports or made fraud. Anyway, no one was held accountable this time, and the group of assistant leaders inspected their soldiers one by one. The old, weak, sick and disabled in the flag, those who were lazy in practice, and those who were not ridiculous in riding and archery were all eliminated by this assessment opportunity, without any mercy.

As a result, the princes and princes of the banners of each banner couldn't help but complain. If there were anyone who had been replaced by these eliminated soldiers, it would be a good idea. If the young and strong men who were familiar with riding and shooting took over the armor, the family's livelihood would become a problem. Thinking with their toes, they could also think that these bannermen might be pulled into the military workshop in Tianjin in a blink of an eye.

Although there are people who manage the flag affairs in Tianjin, they are far away from each other and they cannot leave Beijing casually. After a long time, who knows what the situation is?

Seeing that a group of soldiers were removed, the princes and princes could not sit still. They asked their commanders to consider the subject as appropriate and try to avoid missing soldiers. However, the commanders would not be able to get along with their official hats? After a while, the conflicts naturally arise.

Upon hearing this situation, Yinxiang couldn't help but sigh in secret that the Fourteenth Old Method was really speechless. Who would have thought that cleaning up and rectifying the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing would cause such a situation? But no one could object. The Eight Banners soldiers are the foundation of the country. Purging military discipline, strengthening training, and eliminating the elderly and weak is an open and upright matter. How to object? The bannermen entered the Tianjin military workshop to solve the livelihood of the bannermen. Not only were all officials of the court supported them, but the bannermen themselves also welcomed them enthusiastically. They could not object.

Another plot was made, Yinxiang laughed in his heart. These princes and princes in front of the Eleventh. Since it was the Eleventh who did it deliberately, Yinxiang simply pretended not to know and evaluated the various banners as usual.

On the fifth day of the second month, Zhenwu arrived in Tianjin with Zhang Penghong, Fu Ning'an, Minister of Works, Wang Xiangling, and Fang Bao, who had been promoted to the Hanlin Academy, and others.

The ninth old Yinzhen, the sixteenth old Yinlu, the Tianjin Customs Supervisor Hai Shan, the Navy General Wu Ge, the imperial envoy Shi Shilun, the Zhili Governor Zhao Hongxie, and the Tianjin General Du Chengsi led the Tianjin local officials and scholars to wait in the north of the city. Countless people came to see the holy face. The outskirts of the city were crowded with people coming to see the holy scenery.

Yinlu and Wuge were worried that something would happen, so they transferred the two thousand naval officers and soldiers who were specially selected to serve as guards to maintain order. The two thousand naval officers and soldiers with neat uniforms stood on both sides of the post road like two ink lines. The straight military posture and unique military uniform attracted everyone's attention. Although the people of Tianjin knew that there were a large number of naval stationed at Dagukou, they rarely had the opportunity to see naval soldiers dispatched on weekdays, so they naturally felt quite novel.

At noon, the Zhenwu imperial guards came slowly, and Zhenwu did not pay attention to it. He did not bring the Luzhu Dajia, who had declared the power of the emperors of all dynasties, nor did he set up a leading carriage, guard armor and shields, ceremonial flags, music and dance. However, he sent a man to Zhang Jiuwei to the front drive, and he rode his horse slowly.

Seeing Zhenwu arrive, drums and music immediately sounded. The officials, scholars and common people who were welcomed to us burn incense and kneel down to welcome him, shouting long live. Zhenwu, who was riding slowly on the horse, only stopped in front of the officials. After the crowd was kneeling for a big ceremony, he urged the horse to move forward, went straight into the city, and moved into the Ding Gu Palace.

The officials naturally rushed outside the palace to wait for the meeting. After a while, Bao Fuquan came out and sang: "The emperor has an order to summon Yinzhen, Yinlu, Wuge, Shi Shilun, and Zhao Hongxie to meet. The rest of the officials do not have to wait, and they will go back to the yamen to do their jobs."

After hearing this decree, the officials couldn't help but look at the few people who were named after the name, and dispersed reluctantly. For the local officials, there were not many opportunities to meet Tianyan. This was not only a glory, but also an opportunity. It was in line with Emperor Zhenwu's wishes, and it was not impossible to reduce the struggle for more than ten years. They were sent back to the yamen, and they were naturally very disappointed.

Yinzhen, Yinlu, Wuge, Shi Shilun, and Zhao Hongxie bowed into the hall, and found that Zhang Pengfeng, Fu Ning'an, Wang Xiangling, Fang Bao were all there, and hurriedly kowtowed respectfully. Yinzhen said, "My minister, Yinzhen, and others, please invite the sages."

Zhenwu looked up at the few people and said, "Don't give gifts, give seats, and give tea." After the few people sat down, he looked at the few people carefully one by one. Yinzhen was obviously much thinner. It seemed that he had not been idle in Tianjin for these days. Yinlu was much darker, but he was much stronger. He looked more energetic, but Shi Shilun seemed to have grown a lot aged.

After pondering for a moment, Zhenwu said, "Tianjin has developed rapidly in the past two years, and it is changing with each passing day. Shi Shilun and Zhao Hongxie have made great contributions."

Shi Shilun and Zhao Hongxie did not expect to receive such praise from Zhenwu. They hurriedly bowed and said, "Tianjin has been able to grow to its current scale in just three years, and it all depends on the emperor's kindness. The ministers and others are just respectful of their duties and dare not be greedy for the achievements of heaven."

Zhenwu said with a slight nose: "I should reward you for merits, and I will punish you for mistakes. How can I not be rewarded or punished?" After a moment of pondering, he said: "Shi Shilun was promoted to the Governor of Zhili, Governor of Zhili, Henan and Shandong, and other places. He was awarded the title of Minister of War, and the title of Right Censor of the Censorate. The Zhili Governor's Office was moved to Tianjin."

Zhenwu really restored the Governor of Zhili! He was awarded the title of Minister of War, but he was a first-rank official. Shi Shilun hurriedly got up and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "I received the order, thank the emperor for his kindness."

Zhenwu said gently: "Orders are important, and your body is also important. I also hope that you will work hard for me for a few more years and should know how to care about your health."

Seeing Zhenwu so compassionate, Shi Shilun couldn't help but feel warm. He kowtowed heavily and said in a deep voice: "The kindness of heaven is so great, how dare I cherish my body? The emperor is polite to his ministers and the work of the officials. It is a blessing for the court and the officials. The man is still strong and can he serve the emperor for a few years."

Seeing that Shi Shilun was not convinced of his old age, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile and said, "Flat." As he said that, he looked at Zhao Hongxie and said, "Zhao Hongxie has restored his original grade and has the title of Right Minister of the Processing Department."

Zhao Hongxie was the governor of Zhili and had been demoted and remained in office. Now he has not only restored his original grade from the second grade, but also added the title of Right Assistant Minister of the Processing Department, and suddenly became the second grade. He also liked it all, so he hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "I received the order and thanked me."

Zhenwu nodded, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Now the sea shipping is convenient. There are many vassal states in the Qing Dynasty. Most of the coastal vassal states pay tribute to water. Officials who go south and north will also choose sea routes in the future. Tianjin is a must-pass place for sea routes to Beijing. Zhili Governor's Office should not be simple. I allocated 100,000 taels from the treasury to build Zhili Governor's Office. Shi Shilun, this money should not be used for it."

Shi Shilun was worried about building the Governor's Office. When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He knew that Zhenwu wanted him to build the Governor's Office into a receptionist, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "I respect the orders of the minister and immediately choose a site to build it. It will definitely be a high hall and a rigorous building, and it will not damage my grandeur."

Seeing him understand at a glance, Zhenwu couldn't help but look slightly. Shi Shilun was good at everything, but he was too stingy. He was the best candidate for the Office of the Internal Affairs. But he was a little embarrassed and pondered slightly, and then he asked, "After the beginning of the New Year, will the number of refugees in Tianjin increase?"

Shi Shilun is also the one who likes to visit privately for the most. Because of his ugly appearance, no one will regard him as an official of the court. In addition, he is good at talking, privately for visiting privately for the most part can often have miraculous effects. Therefore, he knew very well about the people's ills and understood very promptly. After hearing Zhenwu's question, he immediately realized that Zhenwu was coming from this spring drought this year.

After pondering slightly, he bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, Tianjin has developed very fast in recent years and is being built everywhere. After the beginning of the New Year, many people from the surrounding counties have come to Tianjin for short-term work. Therefore, although the port has not yet been thawed, the number of refugees in Tianjin will also increase after the beginning of the New Year.

However, the number of refugees this year has increased compared with the previous two years, and it is not limited to surrounding counties and towns. Weicians have visited privately on private occasions, because the snow was light last year and the rain was less this spring. Many people are worried about the heavy spring drought, so they went out to work early.”

After pausing slightly, he hesitated: "In the past two years, the people's short-term work income in Tianjin is better than farming. The ministers are quite frightened and worried that the people are lazy about farming."

Zhenwu nodded and said, "It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm, pursue fame and fortune. Working is better than farming, so the people are naturally more willing to work. They are worried about wasteland, so there is no need to fill in the barren land. The people will be able to take care of it, and the court and local officials will guide them correctly.

In view of this situation, the Australian immigration plan can be slightly modified. The barren prefectures and counties near Gyeonggi will be slightly postponed and observed for a few years before making a decision.”

Zhang Penghong, Fu Ning'an, and Shi Shilun, who were in charge of Australian immigration, bowed together and said, "I am honored by my ministers."
