Chapter 124: Observing the Government by Order (4)
Gonggong Huang hurried to visit Gao Shixue, but it was not that he was in a hurry to report anything important to Qincha, but it was because this guy had studied in the master of ceremonies before, and he knew that it was far more important to go to the peak than to drink wine and eat meat.
The meaning of the little eunuchs studying in the celebrant supervisor is to train as a private secretary around the emperor, to a certain extent, it is similar to the background of the previous life of the high attendant, this kind of person will not only serve people, but also know an important official truth: the meaning of the leader must be understood at the first time, if you can't know the meaning of the leader for a while, you can understand it from the people around the leader.
Because Meng Zhangyin was only a chef and had not been trained in the celebrant since he was a child, his ability was limited, and his level was average, he was slow to take it as a major event, so Huang Zhenshou did not get Meng Zhangyin's instructions to him in advance.
Fortunately, Huang Zhenshou himself is a person with vision, and he knows that his ancestors relied on Gao Ge Lao to go up, so for Gao Ge Lao's nephew, Huang Zhenshou did not dare to slack off at all, so he had a wine banquet to see this one.
As for Cheng Wen, this person is a high-arch protégé, if it goes well in the future, he is naturally a person with a promising future, it can't be said that it is not important, but there are so many protégés of high-arch, even if it is only counted as a useful batch, if there is not a hundred, there must be eighty, how can this nephew who let him personally take with him is important?
In this case, of course, the only thing Huang Zhenshou can do is to show loyalty.
Gao Pragmatic still recognized Huang Zhenshou's knowledge and interest, and praised him very much with a pair of "Little Pavilion Elders", and said that Huang Zhenshou's face was full of red light, and he even dreamed that in the future, Gao Shishu would become Gao Ge Lao, and he might be able to boil from Huang Zhenshou to Huang Zhangzhang......
In fact, theoretically speaking, "Qincha Town Guards Datong Local Eunuch" is much harder than his high level of attendant, and in terms of real power, he is even more beaten by him, the powerless prince's unauthorised companion. But in the era of backward human rule such as the feudal dynasty, many things can't be seen on the surface, and Gao Shiyu is a figure who communicates on an equal footing in front of his Huang Zhenshou's top boss Meng Zhangyin, so what's so strange about praising him?
However, the reason why Huang Zhenshou is valued by Gao Shiyu, in addition to being knowledgeable and interesting, is more important because of his position as a eunuch in Datong, which is very useful for Gao Shishi's next work.
Since Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, there have been three types of town guards: Nanjing and other places to garrison eunuchs, Zhubian town guards, and provincial town guards.
The duty of the Nanjing garrison eunuch was to "guard the remaining capital". If we are specific, the internal affairs include the affairs of the Yamen and Xiaoling Guards of the Inner Government of Nanjing, the management of Houhu Reclamation Art and the soldiers who were purified by the vegetables, and the punishment and imprisonment of the guilty lieutenants sent to Nanjing from all over the country; Foreign affairs include the planning of Nanjing's city defense and river defense, the recruitment of prisoners in Nanjing's prisons, the promotion of officers and troops in Dashengguan and other passes, and the collection of taxes, money, and grain in various parts of the Yangtze River.
Of course, the duties of the lieutenant guards of the Zhubian towns are mainly to guard the borders. If we are specific, one is "supervising the army", and the other is "Fuyi". The supervision of the military of the town guard is different from the supervision of the imperial history, the supervision of the imperial history supervision is to audit the rewards and punishments of meritorious crimes, while the supervision of the town guard of the middle officer and the supervision of the army has the authority to supervise the military generals, assist in military operations, and rectify military discipline and border defense.
The main duty of the lieutenant guards in the provinces is to reassure the people. Its specific functions and powers include supervising civil and military officials, dispatching officers and troops from the guard to suppress the people's resistance, suppressing large local tyrants, arresting fugitives, proposing to the central authorities to increase administrative and military settings in response to the needs of local public security, coordinating the official affairs of civil and military officials and departments, governments, and counties in the province, and recruiting the displaced population.
In addition, all the town guards have two special missions, one is to serve as the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and to inform the situation in various places at any time; The second is to purchase local tributes for the royal family, thinking that the slaves are "filial" to their masters.
Since Huang Zhenshou is the town guard Datong, of course, it belongs to the "Zhubian Town Shou Zhongguan", and the Zhubian Town Shou Zhongguan is set up along the Great Wall from Liaodong to the first line of Gansu, that is, the so-called "nine sides" area, these areas in the early Ming Dynasty have more capital divisions or line capital divisions, which are important towns in the north. During the Yongle period, the general army was successively increased in these areas, and there were military posts such as guarding staff generals and guerrilla and garrison, and at the same time sending lieutenant officers out of the town to supervise and inspect military affairs. After Xuande, where there is a town guard chief military officer's office, there are town guards eunuchs or young eunuchs, there are sub-guards of the generals' office, there are sub-guards of the young eunuchs or supervisors, there are military garrisons, and there are also lieutenant guards, generally supervisors, Fengyu, internal envoys, etc., forming two complete sets of systems for guarding military ministers and guarding lieutenant officials.
At this time, Gao Shishi relied on Huang Mengyu, but he had the authority to take care of the ordnance. There are many prison guns in each castle pass of the border pass, and the duty is to "protect firearms, and military officers are not allowed to touch this" - the gun supervisor is served by the eunuch, and is under the supervision of the town guard.
Gao Pragmatism is just a junior for Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi, and the level is not even mentioned, if you want them to help, you can only use the name of Qincha to force it, but this is definitely the next policy, and there is no need to explain.
For Ma Fang, although Ma Fang has already taken refuge in Gao Gong, Gao Pragmatic is not Gao Gong himself after all, and the relationship between him and Ma Fang is actually more similar to the relationship between allies, and Ma Fang's responsibility is mainly to lead troops to fight, and he does not have the authority to directly govern the firearms warehouse, so although Gao Pragmatic can still ask him for help, things may not be so easy to do.
Only Huang Mengyu, the eunuch who guards the Datong area, although he has neither the right to command troops nor the right to transfer troops, but for the supervision of firearms, it is within the scope of his authority.
Unless the emperor is exceptionally promoted, even if it is recommended by the first assistant, it may not be able to ascend to the sky in one step, because the first assistant also has to consider the style of discussion, which usually can only keep you from taking detours.
However, eunuchs are different, although there are rules in theory, but as long as the emperor approves it, he is still the chef in charge of the imperial dining room today, and he can go to the celebrant tomorrow to do Bingbi. Although Meng Chong Meng's palm print has limited ability and average level, he has served Long Qing for a long time, and he has the help of Gao Gong, and it is still very effective to speak to the emperor, and it is not a big problem to promote the little eunuchs under him, so he can affect the high attendants of Gao Gong, and in Huang Zhenshou's opinion, he is completely an uncle who must be served carefully.
Since he is an uncle, he must have the demeanor of an uncle, and he does not have to be as cautious as he is in the face of his predecessors in civil officials, so after Gao Pragmatic finished praising him, he directly opened his mouth to ask. He looked at Huang Mengyu, who was in power and leaned towards Datong but was only sitting on half of his buttocks in front of him, showed a polite smile, and asked, "Tomorrow, Ben Qin will inspect all kinds of firearms in Datong City, especially the firearms in hand...... Huang Zhenshou, you may arrange it for me to not be disturbed by others? ”
