Hutchison is already such a behemoth, and has its own system in every aspect.

Juren is a well-educated scholar. He is not only a classic of Confucianism, but also a very outstanding miscellaneous academic discipline such as classics, history, and military science. He is not unfamiliar with farming.

Simply put, he is a versatile talent. His subject name is not very close. He became a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, but he was appointed as a Beijing official shortly after he became a general official, and his superiors generally felt his talent. He was promoted to prefect after two years of releasing him.

Originally, he was promoted very quickly. He became the Governor of Xunyang less than ten years old. Later, he became the Governor of Huguang and was responsible for the military affairs of the five southeastern provinces. He was valued like Hong Chengchou and became a full-time official.

Hong Chengchou had a Hong army and won many battles against the peasant army. This court official who pretended to be a juren trained an army of more than 10,000 people when he was ordered to go out to recruit soldiers, and was called Tianxiong Army.

When restraining Zu Dale Cao Wenzhao and other border generals, he was respected because of his outstanding martial arts skills and dared to fight in battle. Because of his out-of-foot food in the army, he did not eat or drink water for several days, and fought in battles. How could such a civil servant and governor not win the hearts of the crowd?

The peasant army, who was the governor, was defeated and fled everywhere. He was transferred to Governor Xuan Da, devoted himself to strength, built city walls and forts, enriched defense, and focused on military farming. When he was the governor, Xuan Da increased his output by one bell per mu, and the town increased his output by more than 200,000 stones. He was rewarded by the emperor Chongzhen at that time, and ordered all places to study Xuan Da.

Later, he led his troops to fight against the Qing army in Xiaoqi and died in battle. He was worthy of being the most versatile civil servant in the late Ming Dynasty, and ended with integrity.

The juren in front of him is Lu Xiangsheng.

A hundred years later, Qianlong recommended Huang Daozhou, a master of Confucianism, to be a perfect person in the late Ming Dynasty. In fact, Lu Xiangsheng performed very well in all aspects regardless of his knowledge, talent, ethics, ability, military affairs. Even though his knowledge of calligraphy may be slightly inferior to Daozhou, the four words "perfect person in the ancient and modern times" are truly worthy of it.

This time, when he went to the capital, the prefect was transferred to the prefect and was promoted quickly. Lu Xiang's life trajectory was a little faster than his history.

The main reason is that there are few people in the court. Those famous officials and generals who have been on the nine sides for a long time are mostly involved in the Hutchison, while officials in the north and south of the Yangtze River may not be aware of northern affairs.

Lu Xiangsheng is in Daming recently and has had many dealings with Hutchison. He has written many memorials about Hutchison's escorts to the Hutchison Trading Company, which is quite insightful.

And he was young and believed in his moral character. Therefore, during this tide of nine-sided substitution, Lu Xiangsheng received the attention of Emperor Tianqi. This time he went north to meet, the monarch and ministers submitted a decree to him. After the meeting, the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel received the decree. Lu Xiang was promoted to the Senate of the Shanxi Provincial Administration Commission, the Censor General, and Yanghe Army was in charge of the military.

Yanghe Bingbei is also the place where the current Fujian Governor Zheng Guochang started his home. He was stationed in Yanghe Acropolis, which was very close to Xinping Fort and is regarded as the old nest of Hutchison and Zhang Han.

If someone else gets such an appointment, it will definitely be regarded as a fear of a path and may even retreat with a terrible attack. He would rather offend the emperor for a while than take office in a dangerous place.

However, Lu Xiangsheng accepted the appointment generously and had decided to take office within two or three days.

Before taking office, he subconsciously went to Hutchison to take a look. He didn't expect the weather to be bad, but he didn't see any special scenery, but heard what a group of special people said. This trip was not unfair.

When Lu Xiang was executing the matter, he also mentioned the need to train troops and enrich the army. Tianqi certainly agreed with this and ordered the Youshi Department to provide money, food, and military pay.

Lu Xiangsheng did not have much hope for how much money he provided. The imperial court has always been short of money. Only western Liaoning did not owe to pay, and other places were delayed for a long time.

The serious officers, soldiers and border troops are all owed military pay, so how much money can he get?

But Lu Xiangsheng was determined to train a soldier, just like he recruited and trained the Tianxiong Army in Zhending Daming and other places during the Chongzhen period. Now he is a civil servant in charge of military affairs. The tradition of the state dynasty is to control the military with civil servants. Lu Xiangsheng's view of the current situation is quite accurate. He believes that due to insufficient financial resources, the court's control over the army will become weaker and weaker. Civil officials can only control the generals with the reliance of military power in their hands. Otherwise, there will be only a few aides and more than a hundred personal soldiers. During the Wanli period of Jiajing, a powerful general like Li Rusong may not be able to defend himself. In this situation, once he fights with Huji, it will definitely be a disaster that will cause the local destruction, and all kinds of ambitions will emerge. They should make preparations early. Civil officials from all over the place should start to enrich their suprabat and suprabat. Each soldier should also practice more strong soldiers, and be in charge of civil officials, and should be more reliable in loyalty.

This remark Lu Xiangsheng was just a general mention and did not say it in detail when you read the preface.

He still had many concerns. The court had its own considerations in military affairs, and he, the newly appointed military preparations, could be fully described. Moreover, when Xuanda went to Jizhen, Liaoxi, the generals had a huge power. The emperor was transferred to the generals of many generals and replaced them with generals of the Beijing camp. I believe that the generals and sects in various places were greatly dissatisfied. Although they would not rebel, if Lu Xiangsheng openly emphasized the weakening of the power of the generals and the promotion of the civil servants when the report was made, it would still have serious consequences.

At this critical moment, Lu Xiangsheng no longer wanted to cause more trouble for the emperor.

Lu Xiangsheng is a person who knows the general situation very well and knows the overall situation.

The most stubborn time in his life is to control the king's troops and fight against the Jurchens. It involves national justice and has many generals and war soldiers under his command. If he fights hard, there may not be no chance with a small number of war soldiers in the Jurchens.

Unfortunately, Gao Qiqian was constrained by the eunuch, and the generals had no intention of fighting. In the end, he was his own subordinate who followed Lu Xiangsheng to fight. From that battle, it can be seen that Lu Xiangsheng was not wrong in what he considered, but unfortunately the court's support for him was too small.

While everyone was silent, a healthy servant rode a horse from the rain. When he arrived at the tea stall, his eyes lit up, he turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "Sir, Hong Jun sent someone to the guild hall. People there were looking for adults everywhere, so let's go back quickly."

"You are so reckless." Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic when encountering anything, be calm."

"Yes, sir." Jianpu bowed and said, "There is also Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Revenue waiting in the guild hall."

This is really a big delay. Although Lu Xiangsheng still wants to continue talking, time no longer allows it.

Today I came to Hutchison, and wanted to see the situation of the commercial bank here. Just now, Lu Xiangsheng had already entered the commercial bank and felt the financial resources of Hutchison Commercial Bank in Beijing. No wonder the economic lifeline of Henan, Shandong and other places has been controlled by Hesu Commercial Bank. If you look at it on the spot, you will feel more deeply.

As for talking to these storytellers, I didn’t do it intentionally, but I also gained a lot.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded to a group of storytellers and smiled and said, "Nothing is big, it's just a chat. You don't need to think too much."

After saying that, he stood up and another servant brought the horse over. Lu Xiang rose up and the horse, and his movements were quite agile and skillful.

As a serious scholar, Lu Xiangsheng won the imperial examination from Tongsheng to Xiucai and then to Juren, and won the Jinshi all the way, and he won the Jinshi in his twenties. If he polished his writing carefully, it would depend on his luck to enter the First A. You can still compete for the position of the Second A. However, although his second A. is far behind, his grades are quite amazing. He successfully stayed in Beijing as an official in Beijing, but he had not entered the Hanlin area and had no hope of the cabinet for life.

His career was extremely smooth and his reputation was extremely smooth, but he could not conceal Lu Xiangsheng's outstanding aura of martial artists.

When he was born in childhood, Lu Xiangsheng was thin but had large arms. He was very strong since childhood. After he grew up, he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, but he inadvertently practiced a skilled martial arts, which was excellent in fighting and riding and shooting.

If not, there would be no way to successfully train the Tianxiong Army, and in the war he held a long sword, rushed forward, and killed the bandits.

This kind of courage and martial spirit are actually an anomaly among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

The beautiful horse-mounted move made the storyteller cheer, of course, because of the large silver left on the table. After Lu Xiangsheng left, the gentlemen exchanged the silver equally. In addition to being happy, they also left a story that could be fabricated. Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to report his name, otherwise a few months later, his secret investigation of the Hutchison Trading Company would become a legendary story and would have been circulated for a while.

Lu Xiangsheng lived in the Yixing Guild Hall, and there were not many guests. This time, the meeting came in a hurry and not many people knew about it. Moreover, he went to Datong dangerous place, and many people were not optimistic about his future, and even fewer people came to visit and make friends.

Although it is from the Donglin lineage, the future of Donglin people in the officialdom has been quite bleak in recent years. Lu Xiangsheng became the prefect of Daming Prefecture at the age of 27, which is a rare anomaly among the rising stars of the Donglin Party. However, because Donglin was suppressed, the support he received was quite limited.

Mr. Xiao Wang and Lu Xiangsheng from the Ministry of Revenue who came to the Ministry of Revenue today were both Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. They had a close relationship in the same year and would support and take care of each other. Sometimes the relationship in the same year was even closer than the party. This is also the routine of the ecology of the Ming Dynasty. The teacher is closer than his parents, and he is more reliable than his colleagues in the same year.

When he saw Lu Xiang ascended into the door, the official wearing the sixth-grade replenishment uniform in the room stood up and bowed and said, "I have met Brother Lu Nian."

"Brother Wang Nian is so kind." Lu Xiangsheng laughed and said, "I haven't asked for advice much, and I'm not here today. I'm really disrespectful to ask Brother Nian to wait."

"Where, I have always admired many older brothers."

Wang Jilian is the top three majors. According to the rules, he can stay in Beijing or be released. The Hanlin Department of Science and Technology was no longer there, and the six departments were also suspended. They are generally divided into cold yamen such as Guanglu Temple. Lu Xiangsheng was directly appointed as the head of the Ministry of Revenue. Not long after he was promoted to the fifth-rank official, and not long after he was released, he was the fourth-rank Huangtang. His career was bright, and now he has been promoted to the third-rank military preparation department. He may become a governor in his thirties.

This is not a false statement. Even if the knowledgeable people cannot see that the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse, they can still feel that the storm is coming, the East Gate, the Hutchison, and years of disasters have continuously weakened the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Once the national strength is weak, the evil will definitely be born.
