Chapter 322: Jiangnan Daying
The reason why one more province was divided and some localities were included in Jiangxi and Zhejiang was because more officials could be appointed.
If there is one more province, there will be a complete set of three divisions, and the various state capitals below will also have to be redivided.
This can please most officials, after all, you can't always be the enemy of the Manchu civil and military, killing people is only an auxiliary means, and the main thing is to balance the interests of all parties.
Zhu Youxiao could also guess their idea, and he agreed with it in his heart, but he didn't show dissatisfaction, turned his head to look at the others, and asked as if unintentionally:
"What about you, that's all the idea?"
The British Duke and the Wei State are the leaders of the nobles in the north and the south, and the reason why Zhang Shize and Xu Wenjue came here on behalf of their father was actually for the later reform of the Wei Institute.
Whether they agree or not determines whether the reform of the health center can be smoothly implemented.
In the division of provinces and the appointment and dismissal of officials, the interests of the nobles did not intersect much, and neither of them had much right to speak.
The two glanced at each other, but it was Xu Wenjue who stood up first and said cautiously:
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister feels that the imperial court should still be cautious in this matter, after all, Nanzhili occupies a wide and soft area, and improper disposal will cause serious consequences."
Seeing that this person had already opened his mouth, Zhang Shize was no longer indifferent, he said:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks so too."
Zhu Youxiao was happy in his heart, these two seemed to have learned the essence from their fathers, and this opinion was the same as not saying.
Zhang Shize is more simple and rude, and I am the same directly.
"Wang Zaijin, what do you think?"
Zhu Youxiao looked sideways, and he didn't plan to ask any useful words from these relatives, although he agreed with this opinion, but after all, he still had to know what other people thought.
When you are an emperor, remember to be self-congratulatory.
Wang Zaijin was noncommittal, and also felt that such a division was feasible.
In the end, Zhu Youxiao decided to issue a holy decree on the same day, redividing the southern integration into Jinling Province and Jiangbei Province, and the local health centers remained unchanged for the time being.
Set up Jinling and Jiangbei political departments to govern all places, and their officials were appointed, and they were all drawn from the five provinces of the Central Plains and Shuntianfu to be honest and competent.
As for the 500 selected officials in the big test, except for a few very special ones such as Wang Yongguang, who was not a scholar in Nanjing, most of the rest will be transferred from the south to the north.
Either they went to Yunnan, Guizhou, and other places in the southwest to accept orders in critical situations, or they went to Shandong, Shanxi, and other provinces where an earthquake occurred in the Central Plains not long ago and a large number of officials lost their lives to fill the vacancies.
The first batch of scholars who went to the southwest to give lectures has been going to the southwest for more than a year now.
Due to special reasons, Zhu Youxiao informed the ministry and asked that some outstanding talents be selected from among them to fill the vacancies in Jinling Province and Jiangbei Province in advance.
There are also cadres from various localities, who are recommended or self-recommended by the locality, and who echo the request after the inspection of the cabinet and the military engine room, can submit it to the imperial court for ruling.
If Zhu Youxiao thinks that it is okay, these "officials" can go to Nanzhili to be "officials", which also gives hope to the officials from all over the country who could not be turned into regulars.
This recommendation is also deliberate, you must know that every person who is recommended must have a force behind it, big or small.
What Zhu Youxiao did this time was to win over these local forces for his own use.
In short, in the newly established Jiangbei Province and Jinling Province, ninety percent of the officials were able to become officials because of the various benefits of Zhu Youxiao's imperial policy.
As soon as the policy came out, the previous wave of opposition to reform was almost reversed, and under the propaganda of intentional or unintentional, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were praising the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao's Shengming Xiongxuan.
The superintendent came to arrest the old Nanjing officials of the Wuxi Academy faction led by Zou Weilian from Jiangxi, Xia Jiayu from Songjiang, and Jiang Yunyi from Jiaxing.
Tian Ergeng counted the three people on the street to bewitch the people's hearts and intend to rebel, and was sentenced to March 27, the third year of the Apocalypse, Ling Chi in the city.
The protégés and sons of the three, the pro-old nobles, were all pardoned by the emperor because of the emperor's benevolence and served the country.
Soon, the Wuxi Academy faction, which was spontaneously formed by the old officials in Nanjing, was arrogant for a while, and even the Wuxi Academy faction, which was in charge of the government, spontaneously disbanded under successive blows.
Those "officials" who have been laid off have become synonymous with waste, and whether in their hometowns or in the officialdom, they all can't hold their heads up, and they don't go out of their homes and don't go out.
As for the Tang Bin Yin Xuankun Party, which is still very powerful in the DPRK and China, it is now also in a slump, and its influence has been greatly reduced.
......
As a result of this reform, the political apparatus of the two provinces was once again functioning, the interests behind the officials were reshuffled, and the people were at peace with each other.
The rich Jiangnan region will soon provide the Ming Dynasty with a huge income that can really be taken in their hands and real money.
Of course, there are also people who are not used to seeing such a thriving atmosphere.
It's not that they don't want the Ming Dynasty to prosper, it's not that they don't want the Jiangnan to be "prosperous", they are gritting their teeth and hating, their own interests are divided by others.
Watching the Ming Dynasty flourish, watching others count the money and count the cramps, the original conservative forces in Nanjing became more and more gnashing their teeth.
With the dissolution of the Wuxi Academy faction, the old Nanjing officials disappeared, and the chaebol forces behind them gradually surfaced.
Although these people have no spokespersons in the officialdom, they are still a top powerful person in the local area, and both financial resources and power are enough to shake the rule of the imperial court.
There is also the minister of the Xuankun Party established by Tang Binyin, and the current situation is difficult for them to ride a tiger.
Many officials who have been severely criticized for reform are frightened, and the interest groups behind them are more powerful than the old chaebols in Nanjing.
These people were also worried, fearing that the emperor and the royalists would take the opportunity to make trouble.
Half a month after the formal formation of Jinling Province and Jiangbei Province to replace Nanzhili, a proposal was placed in front of Zhu Youxiao's imperial court by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei.
This lord of Nanjing, suggested that a Jiangnan camp be set up in Nanjing.
The Jiangnan battalion was actually a standing army that Zhu Youxiao wanted to set up and was specially stationed in the suburbs of Nanjing in order to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan.
The Northern Yongwei Battalion, as well as the Jiangnan Battalion that will be set up this time, are all descendants of Zhu Youxiao.
They are not only a field army responsible for the security of the south, but also a "special force" that is not subordinate to the military department and is directly under the emperor except for the establishment of the national army.
This time, Zhu Youxiao planned to divide the Jiangnan camp into three battalions.
One of the battalions specially selected the sons and daughters of the nobles who had firmly supported them in the Funing Hou rebellion to join the army and conduct training in person.
True, most of them were not officers, but soldiers, and this was an army composed mainly of the sons and daughters of the nobles.
The nobles of this battalion must also be loyal to the royal family, and after they have made meritorious contributions in the Jiangnan battalion, they can be incorporated into various guards to command the army.
In addition to using the Yongwei Battalion and the Shuntian Martial Arts Academy to fill the local armies with officers of his lineage, Zhu Youxiao also had to cultivate the noble forces of the lineage.
The initial structure of the three battalions of the Jiangnan Battalion was 15,000 men each, with a total strength of about 50,000 troops.
Huang Degong followed Zhu Youxiao for many years, and this time he was finally promoted by virtue of his military exploits and was appointed as the chief soldier of the first battalion of the Jiangnan battalion.
Zhou Yuji was transferred to Datong Town, as the commander of Weiyuanwei, and the general of the northwest road of Datong, guarding the border and personally leading the first army.
As for Liu Yuanbin, Zhu Youxiao promoted him from the commander of the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion to the chief soldier of the 3,000 battalion of the Beijing battalion, and was responsible for rectifying the Beijing battalion.
The commander of the Jiangnan Battalion is currently undecided, but Zhu Youxiao does not intend to let Xu Wenjue, who is currently the most popular and the Qing Dynasty in history, be the commander.
I have this layer in my heart, and I can't rest assured.
Wei Guogong Xu Hongji has to beat them up and give them some benefits to the old Xu family, so that he can shut up.
