After staying in the capital for a while, Liu Jun finally resigned from the capital. ◎,

When he came, he went to Beijing with two teachers, and when he left, he was not alone. Chongzhen issued an order to order Liu Jun to go to the southeast to worship the sea god and to inspect the military affairs of Jiangnan on behalf of the emperor.

This order caused an uproar in the court and the country. Liu Jun, a military general, became a marquis and became the rank of the rank of the magistrate. After entering Beijing, both teachers entered the cabinet and became the chief assistant. Later, Liu Jun was personally accepted as his adopted son by the emperor, and was granted the national surname and was granted the nationality. He had only a lot of effort to do so, and then went to the southeast for the emperor to sacrifice to the sea gods and also instructed the imperial envoy to inspect military affairs. This favor is really unattainable.

And just after the imperial envoy Liu Jun's decree to inspect Jiangnan's military affairs, there were several personnel transfer orders.

The governor of Hunan Yuan Jiwei and the governor of Hubei Zhu Dadian were exchanged. Yuan Jixian was appointed as the governor of the two lakes and the governor of Hubei, and was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right assistant censor.

Henan Governor Li Shuchu was promoted to the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the military affairs and governor of Zhejiang, Fujian, Taiwan and other departments were transferred to Henan Governor.

Zhang Guowei, the former governor of the Tenth Prefectures of Yingtian, was promoted to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and was the military affairs and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

He Tengjiao, the deputy general of the Huai Xu Bing, was promoted to governor of Taiwan, Wu Xian was promoted to governor of Fujian, and Wu Zhiping, the governor of Fujian, was promoted to governor of Guangxi.

Zheng Zhilong, the deputy general of Fujian, was promoted to the general of Taiwan, Zuo Liangyu, the general of Hunan, was transferred to the general of Henan, and Ma Xianglin, the deputy general of Sichuan, was promoted to the general of Hunan.

He was also transferred to the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Hou Xun, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, and Fang Kongzhao, the former governor of Huguang, as the Minister of War in Nanjing, and appointed Xiong Wencan, the former prime minister of the five provinces, as the Censor of Cao Jiangdu.

The series of personnel transfers have scattered many people's eyes. If the previously appointed governor of Jiangbei Shi Kefa, governor of Jiangnan Chen Qiyu, governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting, governor of Sichuan Wang Qiaonian, etc., the court has basically replaced the governors of half of the south in the past six months.

With the entry of Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng into the cabinet, although the governors of eight provinces and the governors of five southeastern provinces were abolished, the governors of the two lakes and the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang were added. If the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Minister of War in charge of military affairs in Nanzhili were added, there would be four governors in the southeastern region. The two admirals Liu Jun and Xiong Wencan were also added.

After carefully studying the resumes of these new governors, someone with a heart suddenly realized that the governors in the south are basically people who are close to the cabinet for the first time. They are either fellow townsmen or fellow party members.

It was at this time that Liu Jun and Zhang Guowei, Wu Yan, Xiong Wencan and other governors resigned to Chongzhen and left the capital.

When leaving Beijing, Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng took the other four auxiliary members of the cabinet, six grand sirs and nine ministers of the court, to see him off in the suburbs.

This scene amazes countless people in the capital. Most of the cabinet team and the nine ministers are newcomers, and most of the people who leave the capital this time are new governors from the south.

In fact, what many people don’t know is that the list of the major changes made by the governors in the South was basically drawn up by Liu Jun, and handed them over to the two teachers in the cabinet, and then presented them to the emperor for approval. No one could have imagined that for such a big change, Liu Jun is actually the real promoter behind the scenes.

It was October when he entered Beijing, and it was November when he left Beijing. After leaving Beijing, the crowd rushed to Tianjin directly. On the way, Liu Jun and Yuan Jixian also talked about a lot of things, mainly asking Yuan Jixian to continue to support Huang Daozhou and Yang Tinglin's military farm cleaning after returning to Huguang, and in addition, they helped him keep an eye on Zhu Daedian.

Originally, Mei Zhihuan and the others planned to replace Zhu Dadian this time, but Liu Jun thought that Zhu Dadian was familiar with him, and he also had the fatal handle on Zhu Dadian. The two of them are working well now, so there is no need to replace him, so they kept him. However, in order to strengthen their control over the base camp of Huguang, they finally ordered Hunan Governor Yuan Jixian to be transferred to Hubei and promoted to Governor of Two Lakes.

No matter how much Zhu Dadian cooperated, they would definitely not be as trusted as Yuan Jixian. After all, Yuan Jixian was also Liu Jun's teacher. He kowtowed and started with the introduction.

"Tell me, what's going on with the sacrifice of the sea god? Why did you ask you to inspect the military affairs of Jiangnan?" Yuan Jixian rushed to the capital to meet the saint a few days ago, and left Beijing after staying for two days. He was not very clear about many things that happened in the capital. He couldn't understand. After Liu Jun entered the capital once and became the emperor's adopted son. In a blink of an eye, he was going to the Jiangnan area to worship the sea god and inspect the military affairs.

"Salvation of the Sea God is actually just a public name. With this name, the emperor wants me to see the reality of Jiangnan." Liu Jun said with a smile, which was a bit untrue. In fact, Chongzhen asked him to sacrifice to the Sea God is indeed just an excuse. More importantly, he was asked to meet with the Zheng family. The title of an imperial envoy who inspected Jiangnan's military affairs was specially added to make him meet with Zheng Zhilong this time.

With the title of inspector military affairs, Liu Jun is the imperial envoy, who can meet and negotiate with Fujian Deputy General Zheng Zhilong with legitimate reasons, and even occupy an active position.

When Yuan Jixian mentioned Jiangnan, he shook his head. Compared with the northwest of the Ming Dynasty and the northeast, Jiangnan was like a paradise. However, this wealthy place had actually become the private land of those officials. The imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan scholars had the advantage, which led to the Ming Dynasty's officialdom being mostly Jiangnan people. These Jiangnan people had long formed a powerful interest group. No matter how difficult the court was, Jiangnan's wealth was difficult for the court to use.

The salt merchants in southern Zhili, the maritime merchants in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the silk merchants in Jiangnan were not rich, but they were rich and unwilling to give them any of them to the court, and even kept asking for reductions and exemptions through the Jiangnan officials in the court.

In the wealthy Jiangnan land, there is almost no commercial tax, so I can only barely collect some tariffs. In the wealthy land like Zhejiang, the tea tax was collected six taels of silver last year, and there are many jokes like this.

Liu Jun also knew this, but he couldn't move it either. Not only him, but also Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng, he couldn't move it now.

"You go early and come back early. The situation in Huguang is good now." Yuan Jixian said. Compared to the iron-clad situation in Jiangnan, Huguang has now opened up the situation. This is also the target Liu Jun chose. He did not stab the local gentry directly, but instead took the garrison first. Although the garrison has become a landlord, the landlords in the army are different from ordinary folk landlords after all.

"With a teacher here, what can happen to Huguang? If someone really dares to open his eyes, the teacher can directly transfer the new army in Hubei."

Liu Jun transferred Zuo Liangyu out of Hunan and transferred Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin to Hunan. In Huguang, Liu Jun can be said to be the only one in the army. Even if Yuan Jixian is the governor, he would not be able to mobilize the army without Liu Jun's support.

From the army to the yamen, Liu Jun has initially laid a real foundation in Huguang.

After a group of officials arrived in Tianjin, they took a boat to go south. Originally, Liu Jun wanted to take a boat to go south from the sea, but later they went south from the canal with everyone.

A group of governors and governors sailed south on dozens of ships, and the fleet was vast.

Liu Jun met and talked with the governors every day, which strengthened a lot of feelings. Especially with Li Shuchu, Zhang Guowei, Fang Kongqiu, Hou Xun and others, Liu Jun realized that Hou Xun was actually Mei Zhihuan's student. When Hou Xun was still studying at home, Mei Zhihuan was in charge of academic affairs. Hou Xun sought to study under his school. Although it was only equivalent to the relationship between university presidents and school students, not as good as the teacher-student relationship of Liu Jun and Mei Zhihuan, at that time, this was also considered a teacher-student relationship.

Hou Xun therefore insisted on calling Liu Jun a junior brother, and Liu Jun and Hou Fangyu and his son discussed their relationships with each other, and they both called each other brothers. Fang Kongqi originally wanted to call Liu Jun a virtuous nephew because his son Fang Yizhi and Liu Jun had a good relationship. However, when he saw Hou Xun calling Liu Jun a virtuous brother, the virtuous nephew could not shout it, so he had to call Liu Jun a virtuous brother.

The new governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Li Shuchu, was quite calm, and he didn't mind talking to Liu Jun's peers. However, Liu Jun had previously called his uncle with his daughter's seniority, so it is natural that he can't change his words.

Liu Jun manipulated the governor of Jiangnan to undergo a major change, and he had his own ideas. Although the Ming Dynasty was already rotten and basically no help, Liu Jun still wanted to step into Jiangnan. Taking advantage of his current influence on the court and taking advantage of the court's pitiful control over Jiangnan, Liu Jun wanted to put some connections into Jiangnan.

"This time I was ordered to go to Jiangnan to inspect military affairs, but I also had a secret order. The emperor asked me to inspect and inspect the Jiangnan army, and also handed me an important task."

On board Liu Jun's boat, the Minister of War Fang Kongqi, the Minister of War of Nanjing, the Minister of Revenue of Nanjing, the Minister of Revenue of Nanjing, the Governor of Jiangnan, the Governor of Jiangbei, the Governor of Jiangbei, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Li Shuchu, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Wu Xian, the Governor of Taiwan He Tengjiao, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Zhang Guowei, the Governor of Guangxi Wu Zhiping and other nine coastal governors gathered together.

Liu Jun read Chongzhen's secret decree in front of everyone.

"Full lift the maritime ban."

Although the imperial court's maritime ban was actually equal to none at this time, it was precisely because those officials had re-issued the maritime ban, which led to the prosperity of the sea trade along the coast, and the imperial court could only stare at and could not receive the money. This time, Chongzhen followed Mei Zhihuan and Li Changgeng and others' opinions, no longer banned the sea, but fully liberalized it.

Chongzhen wanted to fully lift the maritime ban, and his purpose was naturally to receive a batch of silver from it.

Liu Jun also took this mission when he went to Jiangnan this time.

"The emperor's will, after the maritime ban is opened, the Maritime Department will be established in coastal provinces and customs will be established in various ports. The first task of the governors and governors is to establish the Maritime Department and customs, set up customs points, and collect tariffs."
