There is no shortage of speculators in any era. In times of trouble, there are always well-educated people willing to exchange their full potential for generations of wealth, such as Wang Meng of the Former Qin Dynasty, Li Ji of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Pu of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yelu Chucai of the Mongolian, Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, and even Fan Wencheng of the Qing Dynasty today are all this person.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, it was still a bit special. Most of the people who came up to compete for the world were treacherous people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. They were thieves who were traitors, and they were killed by the aristocratic families and were defeated by the scholars, and could not attract literati to follow. Li Zicheng's civil servants and aides such as Gu Junen, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, etc., all fell in Luoyang in the 13th year of Chongzhen to establish a regime in Xiangyang in the 15th year of Chongzhen, and only joined when Li Zicheng founded a regime in Xiangyang and revealed the world's momentum. These people were all destitute scholars, not very talented, and even at this time, Li Zicheng also discussed that the senior officials of the government secretly colluded with the Ming Dynasty, trying to eliminate Li Zicheng from the inside and outside.

Zhang Xianzhong is almost the same. His subordinates are like Pan Duao, and Xu Yixian is almost stolen by him. They are all destitute scholars but not very talented.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was no ambition warlord to be a climax. After all, military households were also despised and discriminated among scholars. The civil and nobles and martial arts were inferior. The seventh-rank county magistrate dared to point fingers at the second and third-rank generals. It was a very unpleasant reputation for working for martial artists. For example, the four towns in Jiangbei, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing, and the general Zuo Liangyu, there were no people under the command of the thief counterattacking general.

Mao Jue's own experience was also fully explained. In Jiangnan, several scholars from several aristocratic families wanted to ambush him to fight for women. What's even more annoying is that if these scholars really succeeded, they might not have paid the price. With the word-of-mouthed literati of the Jiangnan gentry, they might be able to rise to the top and rise.

The same is true for the Donglin Rebellion in Japan. With Mao Jue, these Jiangnan people became rich and became the best in Japan. But this time, more than a hundred Jiangnan scholars participated in the rebellion of Guomatsumaru. On the one hand, they wanted to seek official positions, but on the other hand, these people were probably dissatisfied with living under the rule of a vulgar warrior.

But in this case, someone could actually help Mao Jue persuade Yuan Chonghuan! Although Chiyo Ji was proud of her, Mao Jue knew that she had invited her. Apart from being a symbolic meaning and hiring a son-in-law to give birth to an heir, she had no use. She could only come to help herself, and she might even come to ask for an official position.

This is a good omen. It seems that after the massacre established its authority, the relocation of the Jiangnan scholars from Japan can be regarded as seeing the situation clearly, acknowledging him, Mao Jue, and knowing who he wants to be an official.

Mao Jue is too short of the civil servant team. In the future, Heilongjiang town alone may have hundreds of counties and more than ten prefectures. Economic development and governance of people's livelihood still require educated people to form a detailed inheritance of government rule. The population is still too small now. A military town can barely support the talents and military management cultivated by the Dongjiang Academy, but no matter how many, there will be mistakes.

In addition to the shocking Dongjiang horse riding team in Japan, Mao Jue's real control power was relied on the team of the Toyotomi family's old ministers. Dongjiang's civil servants and staff here had less than a hundred people. Because of this, Mao Jue needed Yuan Chonghuan to lead the overall situation, so that he gave up his marriage with Toyotomi family and relied on Chiyoji, the "children" to tie Yuan Chonghuan up.

If there were civil officials who were inclined to form a team to control the Japanese court and Toyotomi, Tokugawa's jurisdiction, and even infiltrate the vassal classes of various vassals in the future, Dongjiang's rule in Japan would be completely stable!

The boss still has to be supported by the younger brother, and anyone can jump out of the way. The most difficult thing is to organize a group of younger brothers, and the division of labor is clear to collect protection fees and protection fees. When you see the venue, you should watch the venue, and you should go to the top to give gifts. Now Mao Jue has too many people who are chopping people in the venue. What is missing is a dog-headed military advisor and accounting secretary. Even if the one who comes to persuade Yuan Chonghuan this time is just a secretary who runs errands, Mao Jue has to promote him to an accountant. This is called the advertising effect. With my salary and benefits, I have more benefits.

Full of interest, Mao Jue bribed Ji Luoli with a handful of candy, and asked this girl to lead the way quickly along the winding mountain road, hoping to meet this party in time for rain to lead the way.

This Hongxia Mountain also belongs to the Japanese royal family and the royal family, but the Japanese royal family and the Ming royal family are not the same family. They can't afford to play with the magnificent buildings like the Summer Resort and the Ligong Garden.

The rich play method is rich, the poor play method is poor, and you can only play some elegant things when you have no money. Under the construction of the royal family and monks, a small path up the mountain is winding and twists and turns, with green bamboos layered, and the quiet bamboo houses appear and disappear from time to time. In the cheerful birds, you can vaguely hear the sound of wooden fish hitting, and the entire Hongxia Mountain exudes a sense of elegance and Zen.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Chonghuan is escaping from the world and relaxing.

After climbing for half an hour, it was a reflection of these cultural scenery. The small temple closest to the top of the mountain appeared in Mao Jue's eyes. This time, he didn't play anything and was still holding a pipa half-covered. He was directly in the pavilion beside the gurgling water outside the temple. Yuan Chonghuan, who was dressed in Taoist robe and pretended to be full of aura, sat leisurely there.

Opposite him, there was a young scholar with a white robe and scholarly crown. He looked much more handsome than Mao Jue. The younger ones also surprised Mao Jue. Under normal circumstances, the ones who surrendered first were unsuccessful old guys. They encountered too many walls and made them smooth and sharp, while young people were generally full of energy and would not lose face and admit defeat.

The two were playing Go quickly.

"I've seen General Mao!"

It seems that the young man's persuasion is really useful. If it were Yuan Chonghuan's disheartened and lazy appearance after the death of the student Guosong Maru, he would probably continue playing chess without caring, instead of seeing Mao Jue arrive, he would put down the chess piece and stand up to salute. The salute shows that he still cares about his status in Japan, cares about politics, and recognizes his subordinate relationship with Mao Jue.

Looking at Mao Jue, who was considered pretty, looking at the young man couldn't help but be surprised, but then he paid a great gift to worship.

"Meet Mao and Liaodong!"

"There is nothing Mao and Liaodong here! Mao is just a scholar, please get up!"

Although he was appointed as the Minister of War, he was given the title of Minister of War based on Emperor Chongzhen's harsh and polite personality, he was also a high-ranking official. Not to mention that this young man was still a white man, even a fifth-rank prefect would have to kneel down when meeting him.

However, literary nobles and martial arts are inferior, and there are always literati who rely on their "character" to show that they describe the powerful. Mao Jue in Japan has also seen many Jiangnan scholars who come to visit "***" and do not worship them. The young man's upright Dali seems surprising.

His attitude of completely surrendering made Mao Jue satisfied, but he also saw him slightly. Most people who tend to be powerful in this way do not have too strong willpower. In other words, if there is a fence-bearing person who can bring benefits more than Mao Jue, he would probably be able to turn around and turn around.

Generally not very useful.

"Have Mr. Yuan been in a comfortable state of recuperation recently?"

After all, he was a good start. Mao Jue was very approachable. He helped him up with courtesy and polite people. Then he hugged Yuan Chonghuan with his fists and asked with a smile.

It was really convinced. For the first time, Yuan Chonghuan actually bowed with a hint of guilt.

"Yuan is ashamed! Yuan is deeply trusted by General Mao and entrusts him to make a major event in Japan, but Yuan is confused and delays political affairs. It is really not worthy of it. Please punish General Mao!"

After all, he was a Liaodong Supervisor. The Supervisor Yuan Chonghuan could not say anything, but this attitude made Mao Jue overjoyed. He laughed and waved his hands. Mao Jue shook his head repeatedly and said, "Mr. Yuan is joking. It is already a blessing to get help from me. How can I say punishment?"

Chiyohime next to her was holding Candy and prideedly raising her little head, as if all this was her credit, while the young scholar smiled calmly on the side, looking calm and composed.

Of course, the rewards that should be given must be given, not to mention that a sign has to be hung out to appease Yuan Chonghuan. Mao Jue saluted him slightly: "Liaodong is located in a wilderness, lonely overseas and has not yet been civilized. Mao still lacks a referral. I wonder if this brother Tai despises Dongjiang?"

Although he was humble in his words, Mao Jue's tone was taken for granted! To be honest, the reward he gave was not small. He lost to the sixth rank of Yu Zheng and was also an important civilian official among the supervisors' staff. He was able to reach the sixth rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of

As Mao Jue expected, the young man quickly thanked him again after a big week.

"How dare you, how dare you? Thank you, Lord!"

Since Yuan Chonghuan was convinced, he naturally did not need to hide in seclusion. Under Mao Jue's joyful instructions, a group of warrior servants packed up their things for him and moved directly to Kyoto City.

The war is over, but there are too many trivial things that need to be finished. If Mao Jue fights in Japan for more than a year, it may be in vain. He is now in a hurry to clean up the mess for him. While walking, he is also chatting about his own disposal and matters that should be done to Yuan Chonghuan. Only when Japan gets on the right track quickly can he return to Dongjiang to take charge and explode his Huang Taiji's chrysanthemum at any time.

However, when he walked to the gate of Hongxia Mountain, Mao Jue remembered that he had just accepted a civil servant and was already his subordinate. Mao Jue was not polite and reached out to greet the personal soldiers who had kissed him on the bed, Ying Ji, who was in charge of the official certificate, and at the same time he nodded his head at the young scholar.

"You can record your name and origin, so that I can report to the Ministry of Personnel for you!"

The Liaodong Supervisor has the right to deal with officials of the fifth rank, but promotion also requires certification from the Ministry of Personnel, which is also a demonstration of the young scholar, so that he can go out and have the capital to show off, so as to fool more younger brothers to work for the boss Mao Jue.

With a flattered look, the young scholar couldn't help but bow.

"Thank you, Lord Weng, for the promotion! A student from Xihu Yinzhou, a native of Chongzhen's ninth year of provincial examination, named Zhang Huangyan..., Alas! Lord Weng, is it okay!"

Before he could finish his words, Mao Jue actually fell into a big horse and ate the rice cake. He finally got up, but he didn't even beat the ashes on his body. He looked at the young scholar like that, his eyes wide open.

"Who did you say you are?"

…………

Mao Jue was a happy event on this side. The country of Japan was unified and he rubbed the stubborn donkey Yuan Chonghuan. However, on the other side, the war in Liaodong once again suffered sharp twists and turns.

At the foot of Kumafeng Mountain, another war of attrition was overwhelming. It was just over. On the battlefield, there were messy chariots and lodging corpses everywhere, including Jiannu and Ming army.

Killing three thousand enemies, losing 800 to himself. Moreover, the Ming army's combat effectiveness would definitely not reach that kind of brilliant victory. The battle loss rate between the two sides was only 1.5, and it might even be lower.

If such results were achieved in peacetime, the Ming army would return to Ningyuan again, rest the troops, replenish the troops, and wait for the next time to continue to consume with the Qing people. However, this time, the troops that were preparing to retreat were stuck.

"Since you win, why not pursue it?"

Finally, he was free for a month. At the end of May, the two old men who came to the Ministry of War, representing the emperor, arrived in Ningyuan. This was their first battle with the army, full of arrogance. Ma Shaoyu stood in front of the army, while Zhang Ruolin, the head of the Ministry of War, held his head with contempt and posted a message with a strange voice.

The two civil officials did not understand military affairs, but Wu Sangui, the general of the former army, was an expert. The Ming army had heavy firearms and lacked mobile power. The best way to confront the Qing army was to slowly plan it. One battle after another was to drag down the Qing army. You should not be in a hurry. What's more, the Qing army was just retreating, not defeating, and chasing the cavalry with infantry, which was kicked by a donkey!

"Sir! The east robbery is cunning and unpredictable. When you look at the retreat, the queues are not chaotic, the flags are neat, and there are even heavy troops from the robbery who robbed the formation behind. They rashly pursued the army, and they may be taken advantage of by the east robbery!"

The humbleness of literature and martial arts is truly reflected in the fullest. Wu Sangui, the second-rank Ningyuan regiment general, had to explain to him, the seventh-rank sesame official, with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, his hot face didn't even change his hot ass.

Full of arrogance and loftyness, Zhang Ruolin was full of official voice and scolded him sternly.

"A wine bag! Liaodong spends money every year! He raises you cowards who are greedy and afraid of death? No wonder the East Caught is so difficult to calm down! He doesn't even dare to pursue him. What's the use of the court raising you waste!"

"Click the team immediately! Take down the broken mountain in front of you and then lift the siege of Jinzhou, otherwise I will participate in your crime of malpractice!"

A coward, a coward, has never encountered anyone scolding him like this before. Wu Sangui's face was as angry as ever, but at this critical moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded behind the legion.

"It was the governor who ordered that the pursuit was not allowed, and it had nothing to do with General Wu!"

"Supervisor!"

More than a dozen generals immediately knelt down, but they didn't even get off the horse. However, Zhang Ruolin turned his head arrogantly again.
Chapter completed!
