Chapter 326: Shang Kexi's descendants
As soon as the spoils distribution meeting was completed, the entire market of Thang Long City flourished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It turned out that the citizens of Shenglong, who had already run away, did not know where to come back again, although the war with the Qing Dynasty was not over, but these ordinary people still felt the taste of peace.
Ye set up several tents as a recruiting point at the four gates of Thang Long City, and anyone who thought he had talent could come and apply.
The only thing the applicant has to do is to complete an exam paper designed by Ye Kai.
In Ye Kai's view, the topic is simply so simple that it explodes, a few elementary school math questions, a basic Chinese test, and a policy question that can speak freely and say anything.
With a full score of 300 points, and if you can get 150 points, Ye Kai will interview in person, and then give you an official position according to your ability.
This move was greatly welcomed by the people of Thang Long City and several counties in Gyeonggi, whether it was a low-level scholar who claimed to be a well-educated person, or a martial artist who was tall and strong and proficient in martial arts, they all flocked to the application point set up by Ye Kai.
In just three days, there are more than 500 talents who have passed the Thang Long pilot project, which is very good in terms of the total population of more than 400,000 near Thang Long City.
Subsequently, Ye Kai selected 300 people from these more than 500 people to give official positions, but most of them were agricultural and water conservancy officials, persuasion officials, and scholars.
The first two were mainly used to restore agricultural production around Thang Long, to repair water conservancy damaged by the war, and to tell farmers who had taken refuge in the mountains for fear of military disasters to go down to the mountains to cultivate.
It is used to sort out the books of the past dynasties, survey the acres of land and the number of people, explore the rivers and lanes, and sort out the current legal provisions of the Li Dynasty.
Of course, more importantly, there is also one of the most important tasks of the Bishulang, which is mainly composed of Mingxiang people, which is to quietly record the Mingxiang family in the entire North Vietnam.
In their hands, the North Vietnamese will be divided into four categories: Ming Xiang people, Han people with ancestral genealogy, Han people who claim to be or have no evidence, and native Yue people.
In this way, Ye Kai can easily figure out the origin of his courtiers and officials, and they can also be used to select the country.
The remaining 200 people, Ye Kai imitated the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division of the Lighting Dynasty, and set up a Shenglong Four Gate Soldiers and Horses Division, and captured the duties of public security, investigation and other duties in the entire Shenglong City.
As Ye Kai's hand into Thang Long City, the Four Soldiers and Horses Division can control the essence of the entire North Vietnam.
Thang Long Palace, in the Heavenly Prison, the prisoners here were once overcrowded after Sun Shiyi entered Thang Long City, but they were soon empty.
It turned out that the courtiers of the Yuanli Dynasty who had taken refuge in Ruan Hui were locked up here, and Li Weiqi's butt was unstable, so he couldn't wait to kill them cleanly, and even included a few Li Weiqi's cousins.
Now in this prison, it cannot be said that there is no one, because there are still many prisons.
But the prisoner locked up inside, only one guy with a big waist and a round waist, but his spirit was about to be tortured, was none other than Shang Weisheng, the chief soldier of Jiangzhen in the Qing Dynasty.
This Shang Zongzhen also has a famous ancestor, Pingnan King Shang Kexi, Shang Weisheng is Shang Kexi's fourth grandson.
In the narrow, but empty prison with few people, crisp footsteps sounded.
Shang Weisheng, who had a weak appearance, got up violently, and he rushed to the iron fence with a howl.
"I don't know which adult imprisoned me here, please come out and see, I am a member of the Han Army, the prince of Pingnan, a certain family has a lot of money, and I am willing to ask for a way to live!"
Ten days ago, Shang Weisheng was thinking about martyrdom, but after a few days, his blood cooled down, and he was thinking about how to survive.
After being locked up for almost ten days, there were only prisons in this prison, and no outsiders came in, Shang Weisheng was about to go crazy!
When he heard the movement, he shouted without caring about anything, regardless of whether the Vietnamese could understand the official dialect of the north.
Ye Kaishi Shiran walked over and motioned to the Vietnamese prison in the prison to open the door, Shang Weisheng moved violently, as if he was about to grab the door, and then looked at the shackles in his hands and stopped alive.
"What are you doing here? Don't you know that Shang Zongzhen is a nobleman of the Northern Dynasty? Loosen the shackles! Ye Kai roared angrily.
Shang Weisheng was overjoyed, and he didn't care about the pain all over his body, and immediately arched his hand at Ye Kai.
"I don't know which adult is in person, but you want to release Shang?"
"Don't be alarmed by Mr. Shang, I am the prince of Binh Thuan County of the Nguyen clan in Quang Nam, not a thief from the West Mountain, and I am here to release Mr. Shang Town today."
Ye Kai's fluent northern Mandarin made Shang Weisheng, who grew up in Beijing, feel extremely cordial, and when he heard that he was about to be released, every cell in his body was full of joy.
Quang Nam Nguyen Thi Shang Wei Sheng also knows a little bit that for others, Quang Nam, which is located in South Vietnam, seems too far away.
But for Shang Weisheng, who was the chief soldier in the left and right rivers on the border between China and Vietnam, he still knew a thing or two.
While holding Shang Weisheng's arm and walking out, Ye Kai explained: "Ruan Hui, the non-subordinate of the Celestial Empire's crusade, is really a traitor to my Guangnan!"
He was originally the owner of the Xishanzhai under the account of the lord of Guangnan Kingdom, and then he bewitched the people in Xishanyi, gathered the people to rebel, and we could not be defeated, and even the temple was destroyed.
Fortunately, I have recently learned Western tactics, so I turned defeat into victory, and my brother heard that the Celestial Empire was going to send a large army to punish the unsubordinate, so he sent me to lead the army north, and I didn't want to be one step late, so that Shang Zongzhen suffered! ”
"What about Nguyen Hue's traitor? Did the county lord ever capture him? Shang Weisheng hurriedly asked.
"Alas!" Ye Kai let out a long sigh, "Ruan Hui's thief is as cunning as a fox, although I defeated him, I failed to capture him alive." ”
Shang Weisheng nodded, he had a deep understanding of Ruan Hui's power.
"What the county lord said is not bad, that Ruan Hui is ruthless with soldiers, and he is better at surprise attacks, which is really difficult to deal with, but since the county prince can defeat him, it can be seen that the talent of the county prince is far better than that Ruan Hui!"
The two of them said that they had walked out of the prison, and Shang Weisheng had not seen the sun for many days, and he couldn't open his eyes for a while.
Ye Kai summoned an old eunuch who came to the palace, "Send Shang Zongzhen to the mansion I arranged to settle down, don't slack off!" ”
"Obey the king's orders!" The old eunuch dragged under the voice and bowed to the order.
"Shang Zongzhen, you go to rest for a few days, cultivate your body, and wait until I report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire, and if I find the charter, I will send Zongzhen back to the country!" Ye Kai let go of Shang Weisheng's hand, bent over and said.
Shang Weisheng also knew that it was impossible to return to China so soon, and when he heard someone call this Vietnamese who spoke fluent northern official dialect the king, he was even more worried.
But despite this, he still bent over with his eyes closed, "In this way, it will disturb the county prince, and when Shang returns to the country, he will have a good reward!" ”
Seeing Shang Weisheng being carried away by a soft sedan chair, a sinister smile overflowed from the corner of Ye Kai's mouth.
Shang Kexi is the culprit of the Guangzhou Massacre in Gengyin's robbery, hundreds of people were killed in the Ye family of Jiaying Governor Fang, Shang Weisheng is Shang Kexi's fourth grandson, how could Ye Kai let him go?
If he is spared, how can the 700,000 undead in Guangzhou City be comforted?
And the reason why Ye Kai won't kill him now is because he still needs Shang Weisheng.
Originally, his plan was to hook up with Sun Shiyi, but Sun Shiyi, an old thing, wanted to kill him, so he could only strike first, and by the way, he also eradicated the hidden danger of Li Weiqi.
But Sun Shiyi died, and his follow-up plan was not easy to implement, although Master Ma and others contacted Sun Yongqing, the governor of Guangxi, but this Sun Yongqing was a mediocre talent, and Ye Kai didn't know if he could be relied on.
And Ye Kai killed Sun Shiyi now, will Sun Yongqing be scared to retract? None of this is known.
Further, why did Ye Kai bet the treasure on Sun Yongqing alone? Why not bet on one more?
And the Shang family, as a big traitor family, thanks to Shang Kexi's old things, during the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Shang family not only did not fall after the rebellion of the three feudatories, but also went further!
Shang Zhilong married Shunzhi's elder brother, the daughter of Prince Yu Shuosai, who was the official to the Minister of Guards, and Shang Zhilong was Shang Weisheng's cousin.
This kind of traitor family of the Han military banner can get Qianlong's favor more than a mere Guangxi governor, after all, they are their own people!
Ye Kai is going to give more than half of the great merit attached to the invitation to the Shang family, Shang Weisheng's cousin, Shang Yude, the head of the Shang family, although he is too old to be a director, but with such a great merit, he is definitely unwilling to let it out.
When they put the great merit attached to the king of Annam on their heads, Ye Kai will raise the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the future, and then coerce a few Shang family members, claiming that they rebelled together!
How the old man with an excellent face will treat the Shang family, it is completely conceivable, if he doesn't pit, he won't pit, and if he doesn't pit, he will pit his whole family!
"All arranged?" Ye Kai asked lightly.
"Back to the king, everything is in order!" The old eunuch who came back after sending Shang Weisheng echoed Ye Kai and laughed sinisterly together.
