Nine hundred and seventieth chapter on the table and dismissal

Since Zhang Han could say this today, he would not be unprepared. In fact, what he said today has been hidden in his heart for a long time, but he only said it today.

Xinming seems to be booming now, but in fact it is hidden dangers, and this hidden danger was laid down when the court decided to develop the Xinming. It was not that Zhu Yicheng or the court did not consider this at that time, but because no one expected that the Ming Dynasty would be so rapid in Xinming's development. In just a few years, Xinming became what it is today. As time goes by, anyone can see that Xinming will definitely become an important force in decades.

The strong local forces in the past were an extremely dangerous signal for central control. Especially now, Xinming has stopped its rapid expansion and turned to the road of internal operations. At this time, if Xinming's problem is not solved, it will inevitably be a big result.

Zhang Han is different from Pan Mengyuan. His political sensitivity is far better than Pan Mengyuan. In addition, his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and his personal relationship with Pan Mengyuan, he did not want to see Pan Mengyuan end up in a miserable end, and he did not want to let the land of Xinming ruin tens of millions of people for several years of hard work.

"Mr. Don't worry, there is room for recovery for this matter." Seeing Pan Mengyuan's expression of panic, Zhang Han quickly comforted him.

"If Brother Zhang has any advice, please just say it bluntly. I, Pan Mengyuan, am very grateful!" Pan Mengyuan immediately showed joy and quickly stood up to salute Zhang Han solemnly. Zhang Han was not willing to accept his gift, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

"Master, today I will say this to you. First, I respect the Master for the sake of it, and second, I also think about my BenQ. You and I have been with each other for many years, so there is no need to be like this."

After Pan Mengyuan sat down again with gratitude and expectations, Zhang Han then said: "Now that we are going to break the deadlock, this is still on the Grand Marshal, and it must be fast. Please ask the Grand Marshal to write a memorial and hand it over to the Clippers to deliver it to the capital today..."

"Brother Zhang didn't say it..." Hearing this, Pan Mengyuan was stunned and looked at Zhang Han with some confusion. The moment he said he wanted to write a memorial and resign, wasn't he against it? Why did he suddenly mention this matter again?

"This memorial is naturally different from what the Grand Marshal said." Zhang Han waved his hand and said, "In the memorial, the Grand Marshal can submit three points. One of them: The Grand Marshal submits a memorial to the court to formally establish a provincial government in Xinming, so that all the land of Xinming will be directly controlled by the court."

"Brother Zhang means..." Pan Mengyuan reacted a little and looked at Zhang Han and asked.

Zhang Han nodded and said, "That's right! Now the land of Xinming has been basically confirmed, and the initial expansion has come to an end. At present, except for the bitter and cold land in the extreme north, you can make plans later, and the rest of the land has already occupied thousands of miles of fertile land. From this point of view, the time for setting up a province and opening a prefecture is ripe for division of counties. The general submitted the court on this grounds, and the court certainly has no disclaimer."

"It makes sense! It makes sense!" Pan Mengyuan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Han continued: "As for the second, since the province has been established and the county is divided, the responsibilities of the previous governor's office will naturally be different. The general can submit the civil affairs of the court to the various governors to divide their power. As for the matter of officials' assignment, the general does not need to mention it. Naturally, there is a court order, and everything can be followed."

"What about the third one?" The more Pan Mengyuan heard, the more he felt. As soon as these two points were mentioned, the court would have been greatly wary of him, and he also gave the court a reason to directly govern Xinming. In this way, he could get out of it.

"As for the third, it is naturally the army." Zhang Han said: "The military and political separation are separated, the navy and the army have their own jurisdiction, and the local garrison and the governor-general directly have to be divided separately. In this way, according to local rules, the local generals can be set up to indicate their loyalty."

After saying these three points, Zhang Han continued to give in: "In addition, the name of Xinming is not appropriate. The so-called "all under the world is the king's land, and all the lands are the king's ministers. Since it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, how can the name of Xinming come from? The general can use the above three points to get the name of Xinming."

"Okay! OK! OK!"

A few simple words made Pan Mengyuan's sorrow dissipate, and a smile finally appeared on his face. Doing this according to Zhang Han was indeed much more appropriate than he had thought before, and he could use this to express his feelings to the emperor and Daming.

However, Pan Mengyuan thought about it again and couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhang, do I still want to resign as governor?"

"There is no need." Zhang Han smiled and said, "If the court allowed the three examples of the Grand Marshal, it would be okay to keep the Grand Marshal's position as governor. What's more, the emperor is the hero of the world. Can't you see the meaning of the Grand Marshal? How to reward and resettle at that time, the court will naturally be the ruler. The Grand Marshal only needs to remember that he is just doing his duty as a minister, so why should he worry about anything else?"

Only then did Pan Mengyuan realize it suddenly and his heart was finally completely relieved.

After seeing Zhang Han away, Pan Mengyuan immediately started writing the memorial, and the revisions were completed until late at night. After reading the content of the memorial again, Pan Mengyuan carefully sealed it with fire paint, and found a personal guard to send it to Wanghai City overnight, and sent a clutch to deliver it to the local area today.

After doing all this, Pan Mengyuan felt relaxed, as if he had removed the big stone. When it was dawn, Pan Mengyuan got on the bed and fell asleep with a smile.

Just as Pan Mengyuan had just finished these things, thousands of miles away, New Spain Governor Jose couldn't sleep all night, looking extremely haggard, his eyes were red, and his gorgeous clothes became wrinkled. Where did he look like a governor?

All night, Jose roared almost hysterically in the Governor's Mansion, and even smashed some of the objects in his study. Even his most beloved beautiful vase was cut into pieces by Jose's sword, which scared his adjutant, his followers and even servants, who fled far away, for fear that he would be stabbed to death by the crazy Jose.

At this moment, Jose, who had been exhausted for a night, sat on the ground without any image, and threw this beautifully decorated parchment paper not far from where he sat. Looking at the parchment paper, Jose suddenly dropped the sword in his hand, covered his face with his hands and cried loudly.

"It's over... everything is over..."

The most worried and terrifying scene finally happened. After the news of Luzon's loss came more than a month ago, the bad news that the fleet he sent to Luzon was wiped out. The successive blows made Jose stunned and could not believe his ears.

These days, Jose's spirit had some problems, becoming a little hysterical and manic, because he knew very well what it meant to lose the extremely important Far Eastern colonies as the governor of New Spain, coupled with the loss of so many ships and immeasurable gold and silver.

Sure enough, in a panic, the envoy sent by the local people yesterday finally arrived in New Spain and sent him the king's order. During the order, he tried his best to get the position of governor and was removed by the king. Not only that, he also wanted to return to his country today.

Although the king did not directly order him to arrest him in his order, the meaning was very clear. Jose could imagine what outcome he would face after returning to China. Thinking of this, Jose felt that there was no hope in his life.
