Chapter 138: Chaos in the North



When Ruihai was still in power, he had a very bad reputation in the officialdom.

Of course, that was in private. In public, everyone gave Rui Hai some face. After all, he was known as the most honest official.

In particular, it is in line with the moral values ​​of many people in the Confucian Academy. In the academy, countless people praise Ruihai's moral rule of law.

Reputation is excellent.

When Ruihai was around, Zhang Mingtu didn't feel much. Only when Ruihai was really gone did he begin to truly miss this top honest official.

When Ruihai was alive and still serving in the officialdom, even if he had not taken up office in a place, the local officials would have had some bottom line and would be a little more sober.

After all, Ruihai has a huge reputation. If someone were to come after them one day and find out about their affairs, it would be quite tragic.

The probability is very small, but there is still a possibility. Moreover, Rui Hai's reputation is very famous among many scholars and students who have not entered the court as officials.

There will inevitably be a few imitators and admirers among them, and then the situation will become quite awkward.

Well, the matter in Jianyi is easy to handle and not troublesome.

When I bought 150,000 acres of fertile land, the procedures were all open, fair, reasonable and legal. Of course, this was of no use to the county magistrate.

The small family that had been destroyed before also bought the land with the money they earned in an upright and fair manner, but it was completely useless.

I find it funny to talk about the rule of law in this era.

But perhaps it is only this persistence in my heart that makes me feel that I am different from this era and that I am a person from another world.

I changed the three fake documents a little bit, and vaguely introduced a person behind them, but it was not clear. I just said that he had connections with the authorities and was suspected to be a white glove.

Well, I modified the information among the Jinyiwei, and then sent it to the Liushenmen in the capacity of collaborating on the investigation.

There wasn't much trouble after that. I knew that some people in the Six Gates would definitely share this information with the county magistrate.

The county magistrate will not take action until the investigation is thorough. After all, he has many alternative options and there is no need to offend anyone over such a trivial matter.

As for land, it's everywhere.

As for the three wealthy businessmen who suddenly appeared, much of their previous wealth and property was unknown, and they took out such a large sum of money for no reason. This alone was enough to make the county magistrate confused for a long time.

This alone reveals that they are the white gloves of certain people.

The little episode passed just like that. I continued to study at Longxing Martial Arts Academy. With the support of many future brothers, I could understand a lot of knowledge very quickly and even apply it to other situations. It was not because I had a high level of comprehension, but because I had a wide range of knowledge.

I have a very high level of understanding in military courses because I have actually led troops in battle. Although after taking the military courses, when I think back on the battles I led, I feel that there are problems and flaws everywhere.

The reason why we were able to defeat the Japanese pirates all the way was that they were mostly a motley crowd in Jiangzhou, with very few real core members. At the same time, there were people from the Six Gates Jinyiwei who hid their identities to help me and make up for this shortcoming.

I have two of the three things: the right time, the right place, and the right people. If I still lose, I would be quite a loser.

When the Japanese pirates invaded Jiangzhou, residents from all over the country were willing to help me. This was because of the people. I was fighting in Jiangzhou myself, and the people around me were all from Jiangzhou. I was very familiar with how the various water veins flowed, and it was very convenient to transport supplies. Even if I was defeated, I would still get the unremitting help of the people of Jiangzhou.

The real reason for the defeat overseas was the loss of the right time, place and people.

During the battle in Suzhou, the Du family had completely sided with the Japanese pirates.

They lost the advantage of both manpower and timing, fighting on an unfamiliar sea, on the home turf of the Japanese pirates. They took the initiative to create a tsunami and lost the advantage of both location and timing. Their defeat was not unfair at all.

As for the more specific and detailed aspects of leading troops in battle and deploying troops, there is still a lot that can be supplemented.

I feel I have benefited a lot.

He studied at Longxing Martial Arts Academy for more than three years and graduated with first place in multiple subjects.

Of course, I can only get first place in the fields that I am familiar with. I can basically get first place in projects such as martial arts, military affairs, and investigation. But in other fields such as culture, I have not learned much and do not know much, so I can only be considered at an average level.

The world has become increasingly chaotic during these three years.

The information in Longxing Martial Arts Academy itself is relatively closed, but this cannot stop the people who study in Longxing Fifth Academy from coming from major sects, and their information channels are extremely smooth.

There are a lot of true and false news, but I can judge one very accurate news, that is, there is a problem in the north.

Outstanding graduates from the military academy can choose to serve in various military forces or go to the court, which is considered an independent system to balance the civil servants.

In fact, due to the years of peace, few people go to the army, and many people are unwilling to do so. After all, there are not many opportunities for promotion.

Most of the time they wait here, and once a civil service position becomes vacant, these people will fill it.

Among this graduating class, more than half were selected by the higher authorities to go north to report on their work in the army.

With such a big disturbance, naturally some rumors spread, and the North was in chaos.

During the time of Taizu, there were hatreds and conflicts with the northern ethnic minorities. Taizu conquered the world and established the country in one fell swoop.

After that, the conflict between Oshita and the north continued for more than 800 years after its establishment.

The second emperor of Daxia, Zhao Chuhan, once fought a great war with foreign races in the northern lands. He was even besieged and almost captured.

Both of them have been responsible for the military force since the founding of the country.

Zhao Chuhan once slew a dragon with his sword, and Taizu was a true martial saint, needless to say.

In such a situation, the northern ethnic minorities can become a serious threat to Daxia. It is conceivable how chaotic the war situation in the north is. Daxia has been established for more than 800 years, and its main foreign wars are against the northern ethnic minorities.

At the most critical moment, large areas of northern land fell.

Now that there has been peace for many years, the North once again needs a large number of officers. What this means is self-evident.

What struck me as particularly peculiar was that none of those people who seemed to be of noble status and came from wealthy families in the past were chosen to go to the north.

At a glance at the list published by the academy, all of them are talented people from poor families, without exception.

And everything indicates one thing: there is really a problem in the north, and it is definitely a big problem.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Mingtu ranks first on the list. After all, I am the first in all military subjects and martial arts.
