Chapter 432: Sacrifice to the Heaven and Change the Yuan
In 1796, the year of Bingchen, on July 17, on the outskirts of Guangzhou, under the suggestion of a group of civil and military personnel, Ye Kai built an altar here to worship the heavens, and sacrificed to Emperor Chongzhen, who committed suicide in the coal mountain.
At the same time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty abolished the title of "Qin Tianshou, Dao Min Yi, Dun Jian, Hongwen, Xiangwu Tiren, Zhi Xiaozhuang, Lieshu Emperor" for him.
Emperor Hongguang was re-activated as his "Shao Tian Yi Dao Gangming Ke Ming Ke Frugal Wen Fen Wu Dun Ren Mao Xiaolie Emperor" nickname.
The temple number abolished the temple names such as Sizong and Yizong on the Hongguang regime, and replaced it with the Weizong temple number on the Longwu regime.
After sacrificing Emperor Chongzhen, Ye Kai successively sacrificed Hongguang, Longwu, Lu Jianguo, Shaowu, Yongli, and after Zhu Qin surrendered, the last Ming Dynasty supervisor who committed suicide and martyrdom - Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing.
At the same time, the name of the 60th year of Qianlong was abolished this year, and the name was changed to the 169th year of Chongzhen, and the next year, 1797, will be changed to the first year of revival.
After the sacrifice was completed, Ye Kai released it again, and changed the government affairs and the official system.
The civil official leader is no longer called a scholar, but is called the prime minister in a dignified manner, placing the left and right prime ministers, with the left as the honor, and the right prime minister as the supplement.
In addition to the left and right prime ministers, there are three to five auxiliary ministers, who are generally concurrently served by the six ministers, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple.
But unlike in history, the left and right prime ministers no longer have their own subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials who assist the left and right prime ministers in handling government affairs have become university scholars.
The bachelors at all levels of the university are not appointed by the prime ministers themselves, but directly appointed by Ye Kai, of course, the prime ministers can be recommended, and if the number of recommendations is not large, generally Ye Kai will not deny it.
In fact, this is just a change of name, you see the left and right prime ministers as the first assistant, the second assistant, the auxiliary minister as an ordinary scholar, and the current university scholar as the celebrant supervisor, which is completely the same as the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why he did this was because Ye Kai wanted to leave a place for the new-style talents he had cultivated, and the bachelors at all levels of the university scholar's mansion were the private land of King Ming, and they were also used to check and balance the old-style civil officials in the future.
The big change is here, and the remaining six departments, the Inspectorate, Dali Temple, etc. are all the same.
Locally, according to Ye Khai's original plan, Vietnam was divided into two, with Quang An province north of Hue.
Guang'an is a place that is too important to Ye Kai, the foundation of everything he has, whether it is an industrialized factory or a base camp for food production, is placed here, and even almost one-third of the army is from Guang'an.
So in this place, there is only one person in charge, and Ye Kai is relieved, that is Deng Chenchang and Deng Da traitors.
This traitorous brother can be described as a god and a ghost in Guang'an, and the gentry of Guang'an do not want to see him, if it weren't for Ye Kai's strong support, he would have been torn and eaten by the gentry of Guang'an.
Therefore, Deng Chenchang and his subordinates are all puppets pinched in the hands of King Ye.
If Ye Kai wants to clean them up, he doesn't need to give an order, as long as he spreads the news that he no longer trusts Deng Chenchang, Deng Da's traitorous ministers will be killed by the gentry of Guang'an immediately, such a governor of Guang'an is the best candidate for Ye Kai at present.
South of Hue has become Quang Nam Province, and there are many candidates here to be arranged, He Xiwen naturally became the governor of Quang Nam, he is not a local, and there is no army under his hands, and Ye Kai also brought the largest civil and military leaders in Quang Nam Province, Wu He and Wu Renjing with him.
If He Xiwen really dares to have two hearts, he only needs to put Wu Renjing back, and He Xiwen has only one way to hang!
And He Xiwen has no need to be double-minded at all, a good first lord should not be a traitor?
And he is also one of the few people who know Ye Kai better, and he asked himself that he was not his opponent at all, so there was no need to toss.
The four states of Nanyang were changed to the jurisdiction of the governor of Xinzhou, and the territory of the four states remained unchanged, and Gu Lihuan became the first governor of Xinzhou.
This arrangement is also logical, Gu Lihuan is an important minister promoted by Ye Kai, relatively speaking, he is still very relieved.
And Ye Fulai, the son of King Ye, is still in Xinzhou, and many of the elders of the Ye family are still settled in Beifu, so Gu Lihuan can't do it even if he wants to.
And Ye Kai is also ready to wait until He Yuer's husband, Ye Ming, the son of the third uncle Ye Fushun, grows up for a while, and Ye Kai will bring Gu Lihuan to the mainland, the position of the right minister or even the left phase, Ye Kai is very interested in Gu Lihuan.
After all, this man has historically developed an island in Penang into a big city like Singapore, and it is no problem to be a left-right minister.
The territory under the jurisdiction of the governor of Lanfang is more troublesome, the natives in various places have not been completely subdued, and Jiang Wubo is also ambitious.
But the good thing is that Luo Fangbo's daughter Luo Zifeng finally gave birth to a son at the beginning of this year, and Jiang Wubo's heart that has been playing drums has finally settled down.
Because his daughters are eight years old, if Luo Zifeng can't give birth to a son, the agreement between Ye Kai and Jiang Wubo will be invalid!
Ye Kai is now the dignified King of Ming, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty can't marry a woman ten years older than him!
Luo Zifeng can't give birth to a son, and his identity as the son of the Ming Dynasty is about to come to naught, although there is still a risk of not raising a lot, but there is finally a hope.
And Ye Kai has another means to restrain Jiang Wubo, that is, Luo Fangbo is still there, although Luo Fangbo's health has not been good over the years, it seems that he can live for three or five years, and he can also help the town for the time being.
Luo Fangbo's son Luo Zizeng is also currently with Ye Kai, and he and Ye Kai's eldest cousin Li Zhenglin have become the most iron-clad fox friends and dog friends, and they are happy in Guangzhou City together.
With a few fetters, there should be something big wrong with Lan Fang, but it can't let the Luo family, especially the Jiang family's power in Lan Fang further expand, Ye Kai from later generations knows how important this Borneo will be in the future.
At the same time, on the Guangxi side, Master Ma and Chen Wenqi cooperated with each other, relying on the elements of the Heaven and Earth Society and local guests from all over Guangxi, they have basically occupied Guangxi.
Cheng Lin, the governor of Guangxi, had been forced to retreat to the area of Sicheng Mansion and White Hall, which were close to Yunnan, so Master Ma finally achieved results and became the governor of Guangxi who was full of ghosts, snakes, and gods.
As for the specific candidates for the prime minister and the officials of the six ministries, there are basically no suitable candidates now.
Ye Kai appointed Wu Shiren as the right minister, but his right minister is basically Ye Kai's rubber stamp, because he is a Guang'an man, his prestige has not been established, and he can't manage much things at all.
The right phase is like this, the left phase is even more difficult to give birth, and most of the other six officials are also missing, King Ye sighed and recalled the 'talents' under his command.
There are profiteers, there are party members, there are militia leaders, there are boat bandits, there are bandits, and even the great monks of Southern Shaolin.
It's just that there are no scholars, to be precise, there are no qualified government officials, and they have a headache, should they also open a imperial examination?
Alas! Let's see later, and now these positions are still lacking, it is better that the Manchu soldiers going south are probably coming, and they should also hold all the power in their hands and go all out to deal with the Manchu first.
The big deal is to let your original staff team help take charge first, anyway, there are not many things now.
He is on the mainland in total, and he actually controls only the circle around Guangzhou, and when he defeats the Manchurian soldiers, it will be too late to select talents.
And with so many empty official hats, he can recruit talents, if the official positions are all occupied, who will take refuge?
What will we do to attract talents from the two lakes and two rivers?
。。。。
Northern Guangdong, the junction of Guangdong and Hunan, Luojiadu, Lechang County, Shaozhou Prefecture, people shouted horses neighing, and the team was crossing the Tiantou water at a glance.
Co-organizer of the university scholars, the new governor of Liangguang, Tuo Sha Lahafan and Lin Zheng rode their horses to stand by the water in the fields, commanding the army to cross the river.
He Lin took over as commander after Fukangan's death, oversaw the siege of Shiliudeng, and divided his troops south to suppress the Nanlong Rebellion led by Wang Nangxian.
But soon the news of Ye Kai's attack on Guangdong came, and Qianlong was not angry at that time, so he immediately appointed He Lin as the governor of Liangguang in accordance with Fukangan's will, and commanded the army to go south.
For this reason, He Lin withdrew the army that suppressed the Nanlong uprising, and ordered Feng Guangxiong to hold the Anshun line and block the road of the Nanlang Zhong and Miao people to Guiyang in the north.
Shiliu Deng of Songtao was besieged, and Guizhou Governor Peng Tingdong was ordered to mobilize the militia to guard the exits out of the mountain.
After doing all this, He Lin took 12,000 Mongol horse teams from Beijing, 1,700 elite Manchurian soldiers such as the Eight Banners Jianrui Battalion, Forward Battalion, and Firearms Battalion stationed in Beijing, and 800 Sauron people from Jilin, Heilongjiang and other places.
Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan green battalion elite 31,000, including Hubei green battalion and horse team 2,000, and militia groups, more than 30,000 people, a total of 45,500 elite soldiers, a total of 80,000, known as 200,000 troops in the starry night south, a big war is about to break out!
