Chapter 256 The First Year of Jingwu
Although the battle in Liaodong did not have much result, it still attracted the hearts and joy of the people in the court.
Even though the court officials couldn't stand the military man Li Xiu, they had to admit that the glory of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts today depended on the existence of this Qin Duke.
If it weren't for him, the Ming Dynasty might have been the Southern Ming Dynasty. The country's fortune was shaky, and I didn't know what the result would be. How could it be as powerful as it is now, and even the Later Jin Dynasty, which has been experiencing generations of efforts, was pressed to the ground to rub against it.
At this point, the situation is undoubtedly very optimistic!
Everyone can see that the current situation in Liaodong, as long as Shanhaiguan controls the hands of the Later Jin and Liao thieves will be in the turtle in the jar, or even a turtle in the jar that is bleeding all the time.
In this way, just maintain this strategic oppression.
Sooner or later, the Later Jin Dynasty will completely become history, the confidant that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for decades!
The court officials were excited, and some even shouted out the words of doing their best in one battle and defeating the thieves and destroying the bandits.
And with the sudden attack and the sudden end of this battle, the court officials suddenly discovered that the decaying military in the past, the internal and external troubles that once worried them, now it seems that they do not need to worry about them at all.
Even the process in the middle can only be seen through good news.
The figure that made them extremely afraid of snatching power from their hands, and also brought the heavy burden on them, and gave an answer that was much more perfect than when they were in power.
Under these glorious events, the court officials also found that their confidence was as weak as the Later Jin Dynasty today!
But they were like Later Jin, like a turtle in a jar, with a knife bleeding. The situation was uncontrollable, completely without any means.
What the court officials thought was no longer in Li Xiu's attention at this moment. The corruption case of the two tombs was not over yet, which was enough to involve the center of gravity of the court and to cultivate enough power among civil servants.
The significance of this Liaodong battle, which was a start and abrupt, in Li Xiu's eyes, is naturally different from the court officials' concerns.
The war between the Later Jin Dynasty, which was a start and a bit short, undoubtedly proved that the strategic blockade circle he forged was useful and very useful. It was enough to encircle Liaodong while also being able to use a knife to bleed!
This means that the system he forged is enough to suppress the problems outside the Ming Dynasty today. This undoubtedly means that he can completely focus on the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to worry about the impact of the changes in Liaodong on the Ming Dynasty for the time being.
As for the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiu’s current goal is very clear.
Everything he has done now, whether it is to rectify the military or control the court, is to prepare for the next reform of the Ming Dynasty's financial and taxation system.
Finance and taxation are his ultimate goal!
Before this goal is achieved, everything can be put aside for the time being. Even the still-burning civil unrest, even the trapped Later Jin can be ignored for the time being!
He really doesn't have much time.
Everything about him now and all the glory of the Ming Dynasty is supported by those unexpected wealth.
The Ming Dynasty itself did not support these brilliant capitals!
Surprising wealth is an astronomical figure, but now his plate, the Ming Dynasty plate, is so great!
The rectification of the entire Ming Dynasty military system, the accumulation of heavy troops in Beijing, Ji and Liaodong, the construction of the two tombs, the suppression of the thieves and chaos in the two towns of Xuanfu Datong, and the silver rewards of Mongolia in the south and north of the desert...
Every moment, a large amount of silver pay was scattered, and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, with the current total tax revenue, was not able to provide him with such a large basic base.
Not to mention, the Ming Dynasty and the entire Ming Dynasty are not just the army.
In the future, there are countless tests waiting for this country that has lasted for more than two hundred years.
The financial and taxation problems cannot be solved, then these glory in front of you are just the last glory of the Ming Dynasty, or the last masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, he must, before these unexpected wealth is exhausted, grasp a sustainable source of wealth that can provide him with such a large basic foundation now and maintain the continued navigation of the Ming Dynasty, the broken ship!
Only when this goal is achieved can he have the energy to reorganize the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty and the mountains of the Ming Dynasty. Only then can he continue.
Otherwise, the saying that the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the Ming Dynasty will always be there will always be a fantasy.
This political fairy tale that belongs to him, Li Xiu, will either be shattered or once again staged an eternal tragic song engraved in history and made countless people unable to satisfy their wishes.
And these two results are undoubtedly not what Li Xiu wanted.
This goal must be achieved and no one can stop it!
If anyone stops it, he will not agree, and even the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command will not agree, and the millions of troops in the Ming Dynasty that he is already gradually mastering will not agree!
There can only be one sound in this Ming Dynasty, and this sound can only come out of him!
"First rituals and then soldiers..."
"But don't be ignorant..."
Under the night, a gentle murmuring sounded.
When the maid on the side heard this, she immediately lowered her head.
Only they know that the fate of many powerful figures in the outside world was determined in this picturesque and beautiful courtyard, and in a slight murmur of this man holding huge power, a thought.
...
The end of the year passed quickly, and the Ming Dynasty also entered a new year in the midst of this turbulent and turbulent state.
From ancient times to the present, the new emperor's succession to the throne would change the year name. For example, in the third year of Chongzhen, when Chongzhen died and his son took the father's throne, it was naturally impossible to change the year name in a hurry, and the young master would not have the intention.
Therefore, just like every new emperor in the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, it was not until the end of the year that the new emperor's year name was promulgated to the world.
The Jingwu period of the Yuan Dynasty was the first year of the Jingwu period!
Jing means stability and no turmoil.
The meaning of Wu, naturally, is extremely clear.
The meaning of the Jingwu era name is naturally very clear in this era.
In fact, for civil officials, they were extremely reluctant to let the word "日本" appear in the year title.
The Ming Dynasty was prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. Although the military fortune had actually flourished, and even surpassed the civil movement and was in power, civil officials always liked to argue with reason on these plausible faces.
But no matter what, the decision is not in their hands.
After refusing and re-rewriting, Li Xiu didn't know what he experienced, but the result was enough to meet Li Xiu's expectations.
Jingwu!
Use martial arts to pacify turbulent times and create a prosperous and glorious era!
The third year of Chongzhen passed and the first year of Jingwu arrived.
Chapter completed!
