Emperor Tianqi's several moves were quite effective. He was transferred to a new civil servant and military general. Now the border areas have significantly strengthened the prevention of Hutchison. Although the business has not been greatly affected, personnel exchanges and the folk reputation have been greatly impacted. There are obviously fewer people coming to apply for Hutchison. One is that the border guards have strengthened patrols and garrisons, and ordinary people are not able to cross the border so easily. Even the defenses of core areas such as Datong and Zhangjiakou, especially Lizhuang, have been significantly strengthened. The new Datong General Town Huang Degong and the governor Hong Chengchou are both talented. The Daiwang and other officials and gentry of Datong also strongly support these new civil and military boundaries. Now even Datong is not so stable.

But on the surface, Emperor Tianqi praised some of the useful things done by Hutchison, mainly Hutchison's livelihood institutions such as clinics. The emperor not only praised them, but also ordered local civil servants to give some money, grain and materials to cooperate. In this way, Hutchison's work had been robbed by the emperor for a lot of credit. According to the folk sayings, Emperor Tianqi has never been bad. In Jiangnan, due to the propaganda of the Donglin Party, the emperor's image was a bit bad, such as carpenters and emperors. In the northwest, due to the timely disaster relief, Emperor Tianqi's reputation was not too bad.

In addition to the implementation of these measures, and the praise for the Zhang family in Puzhou. Now from northern Shanxi to Zhangjiakou, Shanxi and Shaanxi, the people's reputation has not changed much. This is the contribution of Hutchison propaganda personnel over the years. Zhang Han's great achievements and image of caring for the people have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and will not have much impact.

However, among the gentry class, especially among the student class, there was a certain conflict because Zhang Han determined the new theory, that is, the theory of merchant contract. After Emperor Tianqi praised the Zhang family in Puzhou, especially after posthumously named Zhang Siwei, the reputation of the popularity did change greatly. Most people think that Zhang Han cannot be more frugal. When Zi was not virtuous today, the state affairs were not corrupt. If Hu Ji revived the army, it would give people the feeling of An Lushan in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although An Lushan was the governor of the Hu people and everything about Zhang Han was created by himself, and Zhang Han was also a Han Chinese and not a Hu person, but it gave people the feeling that it was like this. If Hu Ji really took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty, it would give people the feeling of Anshi Rebellion!

Many people may feel that as long as the people support me, they can win the world, but this is definitely not the case in history.

Most of the people who revolted were supported, but it was not the kind of people who actually succeeded. For example, Liu Futong failed to succeed, but Zhu Yuanzhang was the one who succeeded.

To win the world, you either use force purely or you must win the hearts of the people.

People's hearts are not the hearts of the people, but gentry and students.

These are the real ruling class, gentry and clan, students and public opinion.

This is the foundation of the huge empire. Otherwise, a new Jinshi with an annual salary of 45 taels would be able to control a huge territory of hundreds of miles and hundreds of thousands of people with only a few staff members?

The emperor represents the law, officials are the extension of this natural law rule, while gentry and clan power are the cornerstones of rule, and students are the intellectual class, and they can easily influence public opinion.

During the Shunzhi period, Duoduo easily went to Nanjing because the Ming Dynasty had lost all his heart and Li Zicheng did not gain recognition from the gentry class. Although the Qing Dynasty was an alien regime, it was easily supported by the gentry and students because it represented a serious regime that could make people surrender with peace of mind.

But when the heads were shaved, the reason why Jiangnan was in chaos was that the gentry and the students could not accept that the class was completely reshuffled and destroyed. It was not only the civilization of China, but also the representative of this civilization was the gentry and the students of Jiangnan.

The shaving order was also the complete suppression of the Jiangnan region by the Qing Dynasty with the Eight Banners as its core interests. The means that could fight against the Wanli Emperor were useless to the Qing Dynasty, because the core group of the Qing Dynasty was the Eight Banners of Manchus. The Qing emperor did not need the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang to meet all the conditions for totalitarian rule. Because the entire China was under the rule of the Eight Banners, the emperor was only responsible for the Eight Banners, and the entire Eight Banners were the emperor's slaves, so the autocracy and centralization of the Qing Dynasty were far more than that of the Ming Dynasty. Or it can be said that the Ming Dynasty was a centralized system, and the Qing Dynasty was a semi-concentrated and semi-slave dynasty. The two seemed the same, but their core was completely different.

The senior management of Hutchison may not be able to understand these similarities and differences. Zhang Han himself understands them quite well and blows the wind to the senior management.

Hutchison may not require the support of gentry, clan and students, and even despise individual members in these classes. But Hutchison must not use force under the premise of strong opposition from the entire gentry and student class. This is the bottom line. Except for Zhang Han and the Qing Dynasty, using continuous massacre to destroy people's resistance spirit and courage, it is not much different from destroying the core of Chinese civilization. The difference is that it has changed to the enslaved master.

What Zhang Han wants is to truly revive China, rather than destroying it with his own hands.

For a moment, the two senior officers didn't say anything. The scenery in front of him was changing, from the barren grassland to a large area of ​​ruins. You can still see that the scale of the Daning Capital Acropolis was not small at that time. After all, Ning Wang was stationed here. After Emperor Chengzu raised his army, Ning Wang first watched here, and later became the fool of Chengzu and was dragged up together. The Mongolian cavalry of the three guards of the Duoyan he managed also became the main force of the cavalry in the Jingnan Army. Chengzu promised that after the Jingnan success, he would establish himself for the three guards of Duoyan and promised them the land of Daning.

Later, Chengzu wanted to break his promise, and the Mongolians were not stupid. If you don’t give it to me, you will take it yourself, and then there will be decades of wars.

King Ning was moved to Nanchang. Later, during the Zhengde period, King Ning attempted to have another Jingnan, which led to many famous stories and achieved Wang Yangming's great achievements.

The Daning Acropolis in front of us is already in ruins. After a brief period of glory, the Mongols quickly degenerated to the level of pure barbarians. They could only destroy but could not produce them, but at least they learned how to enjoy the products of civilization, but now they have no such ability.

A messenger rode his horse from afar. At dusk, the pond horse in red uniform looked very eye-catching. The horse galloped and the red clothes fluttered, as if it was coming quickly like a ball of fire.

"Teacher commander, regiment commander."

Tangma saluted the two senior officers, and Yang Sixun said, "What's the matter?"

Although there were formal military orders, according to the habits of many officers at that time, they still like to ask habitually before opening them.

"The former commander Zhou asked the two to discuss something in the past." Tang Ma said: "It is said to be a new change in the battle."

"Oh, I got it."

Yang Sixun made a hand gesture. The pond horse turned the horse away. When he pulled the horse around, the horse stood up halfway, forming a beautiful pause. Many dragoons around him shouted, and many young men had envy in their eyes... Before that, they were just peasants or military households and miners, and they had no chance to learn how to ride horses. They learned how to ride horses on the grassland, but their riding skills were just riding horses. The pond horse in front of him was born as a hunting cavalry. He was transferred to the military commander as a temporary cavalry. His riding skills were very good, and there were really many people who envy him.

Ren Jing snorted and said, "Now, we both have to listen to the orders of the Liaodong thief army."

"Okay, okay." Yang Sixun pressed his hand and persuaded: "I know Lao Ren, you feel a little uncomfortable. After all, the old brother, you have made some mistakes and were held down. Now several old guys have become commanders of the division. If you miss this step, you may have to follow behind and chase him. But I would like to say something you don't like to hear. Who told you to make a mistake at the beginning? Since the adult has dealt with it, now he is appointing Zhou Yao to believe this person. You insult him or an insult him or an insult. Whether it is the Military Information Department or the Inside Information Department, it is all the eyes and ears of the adults. If you say too much, what will he think of you when the adults hear it?"

Ren Jing frowned first, then looked up and said with his fist: "Brother Yang is really hardworking, and I'm here to teach you."

"You don't have to be polite." Yang Sixun said: "The merchant army will become stronger and stronger. In the future, it may reach 200,000 and 300,000 war soldiers. It is only a matter of time before you become a general. You really don't have to be trapped in a moment. We are old brothers, so I just mentioned it briefly. With Brother Ren's talent, I will figure it out sooner or later."

Ren Jing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood completely.

Zhou Yao's garrison was located on the left side of the Sixth Dragon Cavalry Regiment, just opposite the old Liao Zhongjing. When Yang Sixun, Ren Jing and others arrived, Zhou Yao had just returned from the front. He took a large group of staff to observe the enemy formation. Everyone looked relaxed when they returned.

Several staff members discussed the past of Liao and Zhongjing, and history was also a very important part of the military science courses of Hutchison. The past history, battles, and battle examples accounted for a considerable proportion. The officers were quite interested in the ruins of the old battlefield and historical cities.

"That's the Daming Tower." Zhou Yao nodded to Yang Sixun and Ren Jing, pointed to the building community vaguely visible in the darkness behind him and introduced: "I looked at it with a telescope on the east side of the Jingyang De Gate in Liaozhong. Apart from this tower, there was only a piece of ruins left."

Yang Sixun looked interested and said, "Is this tower name changed later?"

"It seems that it was changed during the Yongle period, or it may be during the Hongwu period. After Yongle, this place was returned to the Tainingwei of the Tartars, so they would not change the name of this tower."

"Who knows this?" Zhou Yao said indifferently: "Maybe the Liao people just use the name Daming Pagoda."

The officers present stopped for a moment and stared at the ruins of Liaozhongjing not far away for a while. The city must have endured a lot of war, including the Jin and Mongolians. In the end, it became a ruin, only the old history remains, and of course, this tall white tower.

All the soldiers present are all soldiers, which can easily arouse emotional resonance, iron and fire, blood and shouts, as well as whimpers and moans. These things cannot be seen or felt now, but they must have existed.

"The old Zhongjing ruins must be protected." Zhou Yao said in a muffled voice: "This is what the adults said. The adults said that hundreds or thousands of years have passed and cannot be destroyed in our hands."
