"Master Guo, Master Tan, please two adults to implement the manpower needed to run the school as soon as possible after returning home. This is a major educational matter and cannot be delayed, hahahaha!"

In front of Feifeng Pass, Wang Bing smiled proudly as he looked at Guo Zijing and Tan Xisi who were about to leave.

In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Guo Zizhang and Tan Xisi, who originally came to Hailongdun to fight for the governance of Bozhou, not only failed to win the governance of Bozhou, but they also lost a lot of lives in the two provinces.

Members come in.

"Uncle Guo, don't worry. Although Xiaguan and Mr. Guo have lost their wives and soldiers this time, it is a worthwhile trip to be able to contribute to the education of the barbarians."

Looking at Wang Bing's proud smile, although Tan Xisi and Guo Zizhang were a little helpless, it was obvious that they listened to Wang Liu's instructions.

After all, for them, no matter what, this is to promote the teachings of saints, right? So even though they were 'blackmailed and plundered' by Wang Bing, in fact, from the bottom of their hearts, the two of them were still very happy.

It turns out that the "support" Wang Bing mentioned before was to ask Guo Zizhang and Tan Xisi to recruit students from official schools from Sichuan and Guizhou to build a school in Bozhou after they returned.

Although from the bottom of his heart, Wang Bing himself did not have a good impression of the literati, but if he wanted to truly realize that "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers", it is obviously not enough to conquer by force. The literati's

'Education' or assimilation is also an essential part.

Therefore, after the idea of ​​establishing Bozhou as a "Zhili Prefecture" directly under the imperial government was reported, the first thing Wang Bing decided to do in the aftermath of Bozhou was to establish a school.

…

"What do you dear friends think of this memorial from the Third Brother?"

Just when Wang Bing was sending Guo Zizhang and Tan Xisi away, in the Forbidden City thousands of miles away, the little fat man didn't care that it was still the Chinese New Year, but he brought a group of cabinet members and six ministers, left and right ministers, all inspectors, and six

All the officials from Kelang were summoned to the Palace of Qianqing and they presented Wang Bing's memorial, which was only two days later than the victory announcement, requesting Bo Prefecture to be established as Zhili Prefecture.

Speaking of which, after re-building noble military generals and regaining a civil-military balance between North Korea and China to a certain extent, the little fat man has now begun to weaken the power of the cabinet.

For example, this small matter of establishing Bozhou as Zhili Prefecture, originally only needed to be discussed with the cabinet, but now he has summoned almost all the civil servants of the entire dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this proposal of the Champion Marquis is actually a sincere suggestion to seek the country. Bozhou is newly restored and placed directly under the imperial court alongside the Thirteenth Chief Secretary, which can just strengthen its sense of belonging..."

Upon hearing the little fat man's inquiry, as the head of the hundred officials, Pan Sheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, first stood up and expressed his affirmation of the establishment of Zhili Prefecture.

"The Chief Secretary of Guizhou and the Chief Secretary of Sichuan have been fighting for the governance of Bozhou for a long time. Now that Bozhou has been set up as Zhili Prefecture, no one can take it away, haha!"

As Tan Xisi and Guo Zizhang expected, not a single civil servant in the DPRK or Chinese government opposed Wang Bing's proposal to make Bozhou a state directly under the imperial government.

As for the military generals Xunqi, hehe, the establishment of Zhili Prefecture is a political matter, and the little fat man did not call them for discussion at all, so naturally there will be no objections.

"Since all the ministers have no objections, let it be settled that Bozhou will be designated as Zhili Prefecture. From now on, the governor of Bozhou will be ranked higher than the chief envoy..."

Seeing that there was no objection to the establishment of Zhili Prefecture, the little fat man naturally made a decision on the spot, and it was decided.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who will be the chief official of Bozhou..."

After the establishment of the Zhili Prefecture of Bozhou was confirmed, the candidate for the governor of Bozhou naturally fell into the eyes of many officials. After all, this was a frontier official who was better than the chief envoy.

"Bozhou has just recovered and everything is still undecided, so let the third child take care of it for the time being!"

Looking at the hopeful looks in everyone's eyes, the little fat man planned to let Wang Bing take over the post of governor of Bozhou on the grounds that Bozhou was newly restored and everything was undecided.

"His Majesty once said in the past that civilian officials do not care about military matters, and military generals do not involve themselves in political affairs. Although the champion is temporarily the governor of the military and political affairs of the southwestern provinces, this is just a subordinate of power... As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be fulfilled. I hope that your majesty will officially appoint the governor of Bozhou.

!”

What the little fat man didn't expect was that just as he finished speaking, a group of officials including the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Sections Gallery rose up to object, and the reasons they used were the same ones he had emphasized himself.

"Your Majesty, although Bozhou is at peace and everything is still undecided, there is a champion who is stationed in the southwest and an official magistrate is sent there. Even if something goes wrong..."

Finally, even Shi Xing, the Minister of War, who had been silent before, stood up.

"Well, if that's the case, then tell me, who should be the first governor of Bozhou?"

Seeing the objections of the ministers, and remembering that in the private message sent along with the memorial, Wang Bing himself also proposed that he appoint the governor of Bozhou, the little fat man finally followed suit and asked everyone to recommend the candidate for the first governor of Zhili Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.

.

"Your Majesty, I think that the right deputy imperial censor Zhu Zhengse has rich experience in governing the local area and is quite courageous. It is just right for him to serve as the governor of Bozhou!"

Seeing that the emperor relented, Chen Kezhai, the official official of the Ministry of Personnel, thought for a moment and then recommended Zhu Zhengse, the right deputy capital censor who had served as the magistrate of Jiangling.

"Zhu Zhengse? But the one who previously served as the magistrate of Mr. Zhang's hometown?"

After hearing Chen Kezhai's recommendation, the little fat man quickly thought of Zhu Zhengse because of Zhang Juzheng's relationship.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Zhengse did serve as the magistrate of Jiangling County!"

When the little fat man mentioned Zhang Juzheng, Chen Kezhai didn't say much, knowing that the matter must be closely related.

"Then let Zhu Zhengse serve as the first magistrate of Bozhou!"

Sure enough, as Chen Kezhai expected, after hearing that Zhu Zhengse had served as the magistrate of Jiangling County, the little fat man immediately appointed Zhu Zhengse as the first "big magistrate" of Bozhou.

As for other subordinate prefecture and county officials, since Bozhou has not yet been divided into prefectures and counties, we can only wait for Zhu Zhengse to take office and discuss with Wang Bing before reporting to the court for appointment.

At this point, Bozhou, the first governor of Zhili Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, was confirmed.

As for the military affairs and generals stationed in Bozhou, it is not something that these civilian officials can determine. After all, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has completely restored its previous functions.

…

"Zhang Weiming, Hu Dabiao, Qi Zhenzong, together you will lead the five military camps, the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp into parts, and comprehensively wipe out the rebels scattered throughout Bozhou and the seedlings who are dissatisfied with Wang Hua!"

While waiting for the little fat man's reply, Wang Bing was not idle either. Instead, he sent out troops from the Beijing camp to prepare for a comprehensive 'strike' on the land of Bozhou to prepare for the next return to the land.
