When it comes to a large project such as bridge and road construction, the greater the power of the person in charge, the faster the project progresses. It is like an ordinary civilian who wants to dig a small ditch in his own field. Of course, he will dig whatever he wants. But if he wants to dig a water diversion channel from a river hundreds of miles away, then first of all, not to mention whether the people along the way will let him dig it. Even if he is asked to dig, he will not be able to dig it out because there is no one!

The Ming Dynasty was Zhu Cijing's own land. He naturally built a railway, so he would do whatever he wanted. He needed people and would just pull it up casually for 700,000 labor. He asked for materials. The railway tracks in the steel plant were piled up like mountains, and stone sleepers in various prefectures, prefectures, counties and townships were gathering along the line. Whoever dared to say that he would not hit me, just say "The emperor has an order" and climb out immediately, otherwise he would die. This death is not an adjective, it is really fatal!

In short, all parties are actively participating, and the construction of the entire railway is amazingly fast. In just three months, the railway from Jinling Prefecture to Siming Prefecture was completed in early October!

The machinery factory of the Royal Machinery Group of the Ming Dynasty has built many trains in the past few months. Zhu Cijing originally thought that he would mobilize more than 80 trains to pull all the 200,000 troops and entourages at a time. However, this time, the first army of the Imperial Guards and the Second Army of the Border Defense Army were not only the first army, but the war was not just for people to go there. All kinds of materials had to be transported in place. All places along the route were trying hard to mobilize supplies, and there were not enough trains at all.

In order not to affect the progress of other aspects, Zhu Cijing finally mobilized more than forty trains and took the First Corps of the Imperial Guards and his entourage to Siming Mansion with him. As for the Second Corps of the Border Guards, Zhu Cijing simply asked the Beiyang Navy to send them over the sea.

This time the military launch of Nanyang can be said to be one of the few major operations in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, so the entourage is naturally indispensable:

Needless to say, Qin Mingyue and Cao Huachun are the ones who protect him from safety and take care of his daily life and must be brought with him;

Minister of War Sun Yuanhua also wanted to bring him to help him manage the army;

Cheng Guoxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also brought him to assist him in managing the logistics;

Wu Meicun, the Tongzheng envoy, also brought this time. With such a big action, the publicity work must keep up;

Zheng Chenggong also needs to bring him along. This kid is about to become an adult, but he will command the navy for him in the future. In such a war, he will naturally take him to study;

Zheng Zhilong, the king of Zhennan, was also waiting for him in Jinling. After all, the south was his jurisdiction, and he had to coordinate the allocation of various materials;

There are many more, and I won’t explain them in detail here, but there is a group of very special people here, namely the Imperial College Priest’s priest, Huangdaozhou and a group of famous scholars in China.

By the way, this is going to fight, why are you doing with these powerful scholars?

The so-called "being polite first and then military force" was not to destroy all the vassal states in Nanyang, but to make them completely surrender and accept the "Ming Dynasty Vocational State Order System". After all, not everyone is a desperate person, and some people may surrender without fighting. Therefore, Zhu Cijiu decided that before the fight, he would send the Ming Dynasty envoys to the various vassal states to announce the imperial edict, that is, read the "Ming Dynasty Vocational State Order System". If you are willing to accept it, it is easy to say, and you will be generous. If you are unwilling to accept it, it is easy to say, and you will fight directly.

This makes people bow down and surrender. If it is good, it is good. If it is bad, it may kill the people who announced the imperial edict directly. After all, Nanyang is a well-known southern barbarian area. There are possibilities for such things, so the people who go to announce the imperial edict are likely to die!

Zhu Cijing thought about it and didn't know who to send him. Finally, he thought of Huang Daozhou. Of course, he didn't want to send Huang Daozhou, but wanted Huang Daozhou to find a suitable candidate.

People like Huang Daozhou are not good at speaking. He is a typical corrupt scholar, who is hard-working. To put it nicely, he insists on principles, has integrity, and would rather die than surrender. People like him have never lacked in all dynasties, so there are a bunch of like-minded people who only follow him.

For these people, it is a great honor to promulgate the imperial edict for the Ming Dynasty and make the barbarians surrender. Even if they are killed by the barbarians because of this, it is also a model that has been remembered in history. At this moment, there are more people who want to be remembered in history. Therefore, when Huang Daozhou conveyed the emperor's meaning, the people who came to "seek death" were like crucian carp crossing the river, endless!

For a time, the Imperial College, which was originally full of cultural atmosphere, almost became a martial arts arena. The great scholars from all sides went into battle, fighting wildly for a limited number of "successful deaths" places.

Even Huang Daozhou was scared of this situation. Those gentle and gentle masters and gentlemen were like crazy at this time and could not hold on. If they hadn't known that their military strength was not worth enough, someone would have begun to beat everyone down!

Huang Dao saw that this would be awesome on Monday. If he really fought, it would be a disgrace. In the end, he could only put forward hard indicators and set screening standards.

The rules he set were very simple. This hard indicator was grade. He had to be or had been a senior official of the third rank or above in the court. The reasons were also very good. This time, he was on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. He was not embarrassed to be the envoy of this Heavenly Kingdom!

"Swish", nearly 90% of the people were defeated. Although there were many officials in the Ming Dynasty, there were not many senior officials above the third rank. They were officials above the ministers of various ministries. How many could there be in the entire Ming Dynasty?

The screening standard is simpler, that is, according to age. After all, if you are old, you are virtuous, and if you are high, you are highly respected. The older you are, the more respected you should be. Now everyone has nothing to say. The last ten great scholars with white hair and beards are smiling. Oh, no, they were elected with laughter.

Of course, these ten people may not be able to use them. It seems that the Ming Dynasty did not have so many vassal states in Nanyang, but it doesn’t matter. It’s still the same old method. Whoever is older will go first. Anyway, the person has already chosen it, and the emperor can just issue an order.

Zhu Cijing was so amazed that he was amused. Some people were rushing to go to "successfully" and had to be qualified for seniority. These people were also weird enough. Moreover, the screening standard of Huang Daozhou was simply a quarrel. Many places in Nanyang are full of mountains and ridges. If you want to choose some old men who are old and strong, can these old men who can blow the wind over the mountains?

Fortunately, the envoys of the Heavenly Dynasty must have been in a large sedan chair. Forget it, it only made people suffer for those who carry the sedan chair. If they are young and powerful messengers, they can still come down and get over when they cross the mountain. It will be much easier to carry the sedan chair when they are empty. As for these old men, don’t expect them to get out of the sedan chair.

However, in the end, Huang Daozhou's words dispelled all Zhu Cijiu's dissatisfaction, because Huang Daozhou said: "These are all noble people who are willing to die!"
