710 Taking advantage of the situation
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty initially ordered the world and announced that everyone in Annan wanted to suppress the rebellion, and the force was fierce like thunder. This made the forces fighting against Annan feel unprecedented pressure at the first time and were forced to let go of their prejudices and unite.
As a result, what no one expected was that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty actually made a move, with a loud thunder and a small raindrop. When the Annan border was ready, the forces in Annan stopped moving forward and retreated to the border area to rest. And it seemed that there was no sign of attacking Annan immediately.
If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty really didn’t fight, that would be fine. Everyone went back to their own houses and fought each other again, then let’s talk about it.
However, the key is that if you really want to withdraw, do you believe it or not and suddenly start attacking! Annan, with only one family's strength, it is impossible for him to be an opponent of the Ming emperor.
The more uncomfortable the situation is, the more uncomfortable it is!
Of course, this discomfort refers to the forces in Annan. As for Emperor Chongzhen, he did whatever he should do, staying in Yunnan, especially the Lin'an Prefecture, which rebelled in Shadingzhou, to supervise local officials to transform the local area, which is also a good thing.
…………
On this day, during the routine military discussion, Annan all parties listened to the detailed rewards, and the Emperor of Ming was still the same as before. Finally, Zheng Jian sighed and said, "It seems that the Emperor of Ming was a cunning person and had made up his mind to waste it. Now the only way is to fight it! I just hope that the war can be ended as soon as possible!"
The army has been gathering, and the military supplies are consumed a lot. Not to mention, if other forces want to transport them from their own side, the consumption on the road is also not affordable.
With the huge difference in national strength, the difficulties encountered by the weak are so great!
After hearing this, Mo Jingyu nodded immediately and said, "Can't drag it down anymore, fight!"
Zheng Jian did not pay much attention to his opinions at all, but turned his head to stare at Ruan Phuket, whose opinions were the most important.
Nguyen Phuc nodded, meaning that he agreed, but then he sighed and said, "Now we take the initiative to attack, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty avoided attacks, and even lured the enemy into the deep, led us into the hinterland of Yunnan and dragged our food routes. So what should we do?"
"..." As soon as he finished speaking, the lobby suddenly became silent and became very quiet.
If they really follow what Nguyen Phuket said, they will lose on this side!
Even if the two armies do not fight, if they continue to consume it this way, the food and supplies in Annan will definitely not be able to afford it!
Originally, this move was intended to deal with the Emperor of Ming, but the Emperor of Ming did nothing at all and cracked it in one go, but instead let them taste this move.
Alas... Zheng Jian sighed a long sigh in his heart. He thought it was very possible for Ruan Phuket to say this possibility. In this way, the army may not be able to do it even if it takes the initiative to attack and seek a battle!
This can't be done, absolutely not!
Zheng Jian made up his mind and said, "I decided that we must take the initiative and force the Emperor of Ming to fight us in a decisive battle!"
Hearing this, Ruan Phuc couldn't help but look at him and asked: "How do you force the Emperor of Ming to fight to the decisive battle?"
Things in the world are really unpredictable. What they are discussing now is that they are trying to force the Emperor of Ming to fight to the decisive battle.
Zheng Jian said in a deep voice: "As the emperor of the Celestial Kingdom, he will definitely value his face. I know this very well. Therefore, we should attack this point and force the emperor of the Ming Kingdom not to avoid fighting!"
In Annan, the Li Dynasty was nominally orthodox, and the King of Qingdu was the actual controller of the Li Dynasty. As a superior, he naturally had to pay attention to face, otherwise where was his prestige and prestige?
Therefore, he said that he was very clear because he had a deep understanding.
After hearing this, Ruan Phuket couldn't help but lit up his eyes, and immediately had an idea in his mind, and immediately said: "Yes, we can make a sound and create momentum in advance. Whether it is our Annan or the Ming Dynasty, we must let people know that if the Ming Dynasty emperor avoids fighting, it is fearing us. Such people are not worthy of being the emperor. In this way, we can also inspire our morale and destroy the prestige of the Ming army! It can be said that we can kill two birds with one stone."
As soon as he said that, he immediately beat the snake and followed the stick. He had a specific idea. Zheng Jian admired it very much. But that's why he also had the intention of killing Ruan Phuket in his heart: This boy is indeed powerful, and he must not be kept after the war!
However, on the surface, he nodded with a smile and began to discuss the specific situation based on this point. The final conclusion was that the army took the initiative to attack and face it!
On October 26, the 19th year of Chongzhen, the Annan Allied Army swore a swearing battle, divided into three lines of symbols, advancing in unison, approaching the Yunnan Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.
…………
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was summoning a large group of civil servants. These civil servants had just arrived from the mainland and were preparing to arrange for Annan as local officials.
Yunnan has changed its territory and relocated its territory and Dongwu has a new province, which has a huge demand for officials. In addition, the conditions are relatively difficult, so most officials in these places are unsatisfactory Jinshi, but more are Juren and scholars.
However, as the news from Dongwu came back to the mainland, Yan Yingyuan became the chief official of the Ming Dynasty and was the governor of Dongwu, which shocked many low-level officials and unsatisfactory officials of the Ming Dynasty.
If you are in the mainland, even if you are a third-class Jinshi, you will not only take many years of experience to reach the level of a governor, but also have certain opportunities to be able to do so.
However, if we respond to the imperial call now and go to the border, although the conditions have been much more difficult, the road to the official journey will become very wide.
Of course, although some of them understood that Yan Yingyuan could become the governor of Dongwu in one fell swoop, and his military achievements were still there. However, even if they did not have Yan Yingyuan's ability, they would not admit that they were much worse than a classic.
Therefore, the decree issued by Emperor Chongzhen before coming to Annan was responded to by many officials. According to the information from the capital fed back in the eavesdropping system, there were already signs of it. The officials of the marquis of the Ministry of Personnel in the capital have already started to run away to serve as officials in order to come to the border.
Therefore, this time, there were few scholars standing in front of Emperor Chongzhen, most of whom were at the level of Juren and Jinshi. In addition, a memorial in front of the emperor was complained by the Minister of Personnel. It said that the Hetao region, Liaodong, North Korea, Yunnan, and Dongwu needed a large number of officials in a short period of time. Now there are very few officials, which is obviously not enough. He was worried that if scholars were used as officials for a long time, it would affect local people's livelihood and have a great impact on the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen had actually considered this situation, so he issued an imperial edict to the Minister of Personnel, the Cabinet and the Crown Prince of the State.
He decided to open a tribute, and in addition, he wanted to re-open miscellaneous subjects from the Tang and Song dynasties, namely Ming Jing (Method of the Classic), Jinshi, Ming Law (Law), Ming characters (Writing), Ming Achievement (Mathematical Science), and Ming Achievement (Mathematical Science), and no longer just Jinshi.
In addition, the examination is no longer just the meaning of the classics, but the content of the ink, oral examination, posting of the classics, questioning, poetry and essays, etc. Finally, special products must be added, that is, the natural knowledge must be tested.
His decree was actually something he wanted to issue. Now that the officials are short of them, they just took advantage of the situation and sent out this decree. Many of these contents are referenced in the previous examples of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it is not abrupt to propose them. By the way, the subject of natural knowledge is truly included in it, and there will be less criticisms encountered.
In Emperor Chongzhen's next plan, he would further refine his natural knowledge in the future and divide many subjects from it.
Now that the imperial examination with so many contents is opened, it will definitely trigger local research on the differentiated examination content, and the academies established are no longer just the Confucianism of the past. With such a need, public schools can be established to promote basic education, and it can be natural.
This model of having needs first and then doing specific things is better than doing it first and then doing it first. Not only will the resistance be small, but students will also know why to learn and consciously choose the direction they are good at.
It has to be said that the series of changes that can be brought about by expanding territory from the outside world, taking advantage of the situation is also a way to change the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen also made a request to the new officials below, allowing them to be scattered to the prefectures of Yunnan to learn the governance methods of local officials. After gaining experience, Annan happened to be defeated, and they could use the prefectures they governed themselves.
For Emperor Chongzhen, he did not want Annan to happen in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The officials sent to impose heavy taxes, making Annan live in vain. As a springboard for the Ming Dynasty to expand to the Southeast Asian Sea, Annan should be managed as a local government.
Emperor Chongzhen has always been watching the land reform in Yunnan Province. He knew whether the local officials were doing well. After studying and observing here, I believe that no matter how bad the governance in Annan is, it will not be much worse!
Just as he sent all these officials away, he came to report that the Annan Allied Army had advanced here. He also reported some news spread by the Annan people.
In response, Cao Bianjiao immediately reported: "Your Majesty, this is the trick of Annan's traitor. As long as our army can finally pacify Annan, these rumors will be defeated without any attack!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huang Degong also immediately replied, "Since ancient times, it has been normal to advance and retreat during wars. It just so happened that Lin'an Prefecture was harmed by the traitor in Shadingzhou, and the population was not large. It is actually not difficult to let them retreat with the army!"
“…”
Faced with the advice of the generals, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh.
