Military preparation is the core, and internal control and cleaning are in full swing.

Corresponding to the Military and Political Departments within the Jingzhou Army, Lin Chunhong established the Political and Propaganda Department in the Zhongshu Mansion, and established the Political and Propaganda Department in the four ministries of Jingzhou, Yiling, Kuizhou and Zhijiang respectively. The first thing after the establishment of the Political and Propaganda Department was to send propaganda teams to travel around villages and households to publicize Bangtai's various policies and the achievements of the Jingzhou Army, and enhance the people's sense of identity with Bangtai.

At the same time, Lin Chunhong ordered the Security Department to strengthen the monitoring of bureaucrats and gentry in the territory to strictly prevent these people from causing trouble in the territory and maintain the stability of the four places. He also ordered the Security Department to strengthen the capture of spies. In just one month, more than a hundred spies of all kinds were arrested, and these people came from all kinds of people, and even Zuo Liangyu and Zheng Zhilong were in charge.

Moreover, Lin Chunhong demolished all the checkpoints in various places and severely cracked down on various extortions and damaging industry and commerce. This move was unanimously supported by enlightened gentry.

Lin Chunhong believed that no matter how rich he was in politics, he could not afford to have money and food. Therefore, he formulated a detailed relief plan to provide subsidies to people who were unable to work; at the same time, he invested huge amounts of money to rectify domestic roads, digging fiber routes into Sichuan, and building irrigation and drainage facilities throughout the country, and implementing labor-for-relief.

In addition, Lin Chunhong also implemented tax refund policies for some key industries to stimulate the development of these industries.

All of the above are in line. Lin Chunhong's time was about to draw the bells during this period, which made Bangtai's foundation in Jingzhou, Yiling and Kuizhou increasingly deep, and established a solid rule.

In the outside world, Lin Chunhong ordered the Military Information Department to strengthen the monitoring of various troops, Donglin Party, Fushe and the court, and his attitude towards all parties was as clear as the fire. The memorial submitted to Zhu Youjian was sent back to Jingzhou within three days so that Lin Chunhong could quickly take countermeasures.

When Lin Chunhong learned that Zhu Youjian ordered the cabinet to discuss the constitution, Lin Chunhong breathed a sigh of relief, just like Cao Huachun. The stubborn and impatient Zhu Youjian did not send troops to attack, and the biggest crisis had disappeared.

According to the general practice of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of major matters are delivered to the court, as long as they are handed over to the court, all political forces will definitely introduce measures after they fight and compromise. This process is protracted and it is estimated that even a few children will have to give birth to them by then.

However, in response to the overwhelming accusations and insults, Lin Chunhong cannot remain silent. Silence is equivalent to acquiescence, which will encourage the arrogance of the person who is present.

Moreover, Lin Chunhong knew that the court was struggling and could not attack Jingzhou at all, so he had to give Zhu Youjian and the court a step forward. Therefore, Lin Chunhong carefully prepared a self-defense memorial and sent it to the capital.

In the memorial, Lin Chunhong first reviewed the glorious experience of going north to suppress bandits, boasted about his military achievements, and said that in Jingzhou and Yiling fought for the frontline soldiers, his life was getting worse and worse, and he was terrible. At the same time, he expressed his loyalty to Zhu Youjian, claiming that he was unable to eat and sleep and could not sleep in order to suppress bandits. In this way, he won consecutive victories.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Chunhong tried his best to deny the unauthorized opening of the government office and building the government office, claiming that in order to supply the frontline soldiers, he had to organize a business to make profits, and everything was to suppress bandits. The business also needed management, security and supervision. The reason why there were rumors about the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Governor's Office and the Supervision Office was that the gangsters claimed the crime. Lin Chunhong promised that the gang would be rectified. If the gangsters had committed the crime of overcoming the crime, they would be punished without forgiveness!

As for the robbery of the Jiang bandits, Lin Chunhong claimed that it was not his instruction, but his subordinates were confused by wealth and had a temporary intention, and this kind of thing happened. Lin Chunhong said that he would severely punish his subordinates and give the damaged business travelers an explanation.

Lin Chunhong also argued that it was forced to manufacture weapons in the name of the Left Guard of Jingzhou and the Thousand Hushou of Datian. The ward system has been broken for a long time, and the weapons and armor equipment they made are simply useless. The soldiers of Jingzhou Army were extremely short of weapons and armor equipment, so they had no choice but to start a new job and equipped the Jingzhou Army with their own weapons and armor equipment.

Regarding the forced surveillance of local bureaucrats, Lin Chunhong claimed that local bureaucrats focused on corruption and only worked for party struggles, which led to insufficient supply of soldiers on the front line, resulting in many excellent fighter jets missing in vain. In order to improve the efficiency of local bureaucrats, they had to send archers to Jingzhou and Yiling to collect manpower and food. "The Yue Chu was not the wish of the ministers, but was forced by local officials."

Lin Chunhong also claimed that for the sake of the court and the people, he implemented a policy of land redemption in Jingzhou, Yiling and Jingmen, reduced rent and taxes, and encouraged planting. "I looked at Jingzhou, Jingmen and Yiling, and no enemy entered the country, and no one surrendered to the bandits. These were all the achievements of this strategy."

In short, Lin Chunhong defended one by one, refuted one by one, denied one by one, and cried every word, and cried tears. He beat the psychological school and the emotional card, trying to capture Zhu Youjian's heart.

In addition, Lin Chunhong spent a lot of space to introduce the fact that he had minted silver coins and copper coins, and was proud of it, claiming that he would support the Jingzhou army by minting coins, and also introduced the technical details and management links of coin minting. Finally, he also claimed that if the court could mint coins, it would definitely reach a situation where the people would not increase taxes and the military pay was self-sufficient, and tried his best to bewitch Zhu Youjian and the ministers of the court to mint coins.

In addition to submitting memorials to defend himself, Lin Chunhong was also preparing to play a big one, completely blocking the mouths of bureaucrats and gentry: pay the land tax and autumn tax as soon as possible on time and in terms of quantity.

Before the land redemption was carried out, Jingzhou, Jingmen, Yiling and other places paid land taxes for only more than 2 million mu, and the annual regular tax was no more than 200,000 taels of silver. Lin Chunhong had no meritoriousness, title, and no privilege of tax exemption. Now more than 10 million mu of land under his name must be paid for regular taxes, and the autumn tax alone exceeded 500,000 taels.

With Lin Chunhong's order, more than 200 elite soldiers escorted more than 500,000 taels of silver and rode on a ship to the capital.

Lin Chunhong could completely imagine what the expressions of the bureaucratic gentry who attacked fiercely when the more than 500,000 taels of silver arrived at the Ministry of Revenue!

When Lin Chunhong's self-defense memorial arrived in the capital, all the people were noisy. In addition to Wen Tiren's party who deliberately kept silent, the court officials went barely, shouting that they would immediately send troops to wipe out Lin Chunhong, and also created a shaky world in the Ming Dynasty! They also created public opinion: The reason why the Ming Dynasty was difficult to get a bandit was the responsibility of the generals like Lin Chunhong, who had ulterior motives, which made everyone on the front-line generals in danger and scolded Lin Chunhong.

As soon as the memorial arrived at the Tongzheng Department, Zhu Youjian made it public. Some court officials threw the memorial to the ground before they even finished reading the memorial and made a contemptuous judgment: "Quote!" and then continued to curse, with great momentum that Lin Chunhong would be doomed to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

After these court officials cursed for a few days, they found out that Zhu Youjian had not mentioned Lin Chunhong again for several days. Moreover, the backbone of the court, Wen Tiren, the party and Donglin, remained silent. The court officials who became more and more braver were angry and gave memorials even more crazily, pointing the finger at Wen Tiren, claiming that Wen Tiren would be willing to allow Lin Chunhong, causing such a huge disaster.

Wen Tiren ignored the buzzing sound of these mosquitoes, neither fighting back nor defending him. He knew that his power basis was Zhu Youjian's trust. Zhu Youjian began to remain silent, and he became even more silent. He was still waiting for an opportunity to throw out his killer move.

The reason why Zhu Youjian was silent on this matter was mainly because Lin Chunhong's self-defense memorial had a great impact on him!

Zhu Youjian was unable to be angry about Lin Chunhong, just like when he heard Deng Yan plundering the people, he was furious. However, he had to endure it! As the supreme ruler of the world's largest empire, although Zhu Youjian was not capable enough, at least he knew that many things could not be done arbitrarily!

Zhu Youjian's heart has been bleeding: he can tolerate privately cast weapons! He can tolerate robbery by his subordinates! He can tolerate troops to attack the chieftain without authorization! He can tolerate land redemption, and he can tolerate oppression of local bureaucrats!

However, it is impossible to bear to open a government office and build a yamen to mint coins privately! This is Zhu Youjian’s bottom line.

Zhu Youjian really wanted all the people who reported the memorials to exaggerate. Lin Chunhong was still a loyal and capable general, and still fought in all directions under his wise command. When Lin Chunhong's self-defense letter arrived at Zhu Youjian, at the beginning, Zhu Youjian kept sneering and almost made a "quibbling" judgment. However, the more he read, the more he couldn't let go of it. When he saw that "the chef in the kitchen was not the wish of the minister, but was forced by local officials to shirk responsibility", Zhu Youjian actually had a strong resonance in his heart. All the ministers in the court were all in their positions and were dissatisfied with him. Zhu Youjian was already dissatisfied.

When he read, "I looked at Jingzhou, Jingmen, and Yiling, and no enemy entered the country, and no people surrendered to bandits, all of which were the achievements of this strategy." Zhu Youjian almost had the urge to "try it out for a while." When he read, "The people do not increase taxes and the military pay is self-sufficient", Zhu Youjian exclaimed and couldn't help but shout, "The court officials are stupid, and they are blind to such good strategies!"

Zhu Youjian was in a state of excitement and could not calm down for a long time. He was worried and worried that he would be too tempted and forced Lin Chunhong to rebel. Then everything would be over.

Just when bureaucrats and gentry in the world were rampant, more than 500,000 taels of silver from Jingzhou were transported to the Ministry of Revenue. The more than 500,000 taels of silver were the autumn taxes of Jingzhou, Yiling and Jingmen. If the world prefectures were all governed like the three places, what would the annual income of the Ming Dynasty be? How should we face the 500,000 taels of real gold and silver? If we stop, what if Zhu Youjian ordered the world to carry out Lin Chunhong's strategy, wouldn't we be done together?

Five hundred thousand taels of silver were slapped directly on the faces of the officials, and the whole Ming Dynasty suddenly lost its voice, and the court immediately became quiet. The court officials who were jumping up and down during this period also closed their mouths, not knowing what to do.

Compared with the officials who were extremely verbally abused, Wen Tiren and the Donglin Party members couldn't help but sneer: "Fortunately, they didn't step into this muddy water. Lin Chunhong was cruel enough to directly push the officials who were verbally against Emperor Chongzhen!"

Among them, the most surprising thing is Zhu Youjian. Lin Chunhong paid the autumn tax readily, which shows that Lin Chunhong had no intention of rebellion and was quite loyal and righteous. What's more, the 500,000 taels of silver can be said to solve the urgent need of the court. The year is approaching, and the court is waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.

As for how to deal with Lin Chunhong, Zhu Youjian was in a dilemma and was reluctant to make up his mind. Zhu Youjian hesitated for several days and finally decided to throw this problem to the cabinet. So Zhu Youjian ordered Wen Tiren to vote as soon as possible and resolve the Lin Chunhong case as soon as possible.

After receiving Zhu Youjian's oral order, Wen Tiren secretly asked Zhu Youjian tolerate Lin Chunhong, but he could not grasp the standard of handling, so he came up with a strict plan to test Zhu Youjian's true thoughts.

Wen Tiren suggested that soldiers from all directions be dispatched around Jingzhou, and Lin Chunhong led his troops north to suppress the bandits, took advantage of his departure from his nest, cut off his food route, forced him to give up his military power, and put him in prison.

When Zhu Youjian saw this plan, he couldn't accept it from the bottom of his heart. With Zhu Youjian's ability, he could see that this plan was full of loopholes and was absolutely impossible. So Zhu Youjian issued an order to order the cabinet to re-enroll.
