Chapter 142: The Political Envoy of the DPRK
After Kim Kwon left, there was silence in the living room.
"My lord, this Jin Quan is a capricious villain and cannot be reused." Huang Fu spoke first.
"Hehe, such as tin, Jin Quan is indeed a villain, but villains can also be used." Zhang Zhen shook his head with a smile, he pointed to the direction in which Jin Quan left: "In general, he is the old subordinate of the Joseon Hou, and now that the Joseon Hou has been assassinated, it is not appropriate to immediately denounce him, and it is easy to misunderstand; And he is still useful, he accused Li Fangyuan of the crime as an old subordinate of the Joseon Hou, which is more convincing. ”
"By the way, what does An Yuanbo think?" Zhang Zhen turned his head, looked at Qu Neng, and asked.
"Your Majesty has a strict decree that military generals are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and these things can be done by adults."
"Well, in fact, Jin Quan is just a trivial matter, His Majesty gave the official the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, so the official wants to ask, when will An Yuanbo send troops to quell the rebellion?"
"Lord Zhang, before the arrival of the holy decree, the commander-in-chief Sheng of Quanzhou has already set a strategy, and the last general has already made preparations, so the last general can set off tomorrow."
"I don't know who will stay in Seoul?"
"Qu Yu!"
"That's great!" Hearing that Qu Neng's side had been arranged, Zhang Zhen was also very happy.
"In that case, the general will take his leave!" Qu Neng stood up and saluted Zhang Zhen.
"General Qu, please!" Zhang Zhen raised his hand.
Qu Neng was just about to turn around, but he heard Tao Jia next to him say: "Master Zhang, is that Jincheng still in the hands of Jin Quan?" The lower official wants to interrogate him! ”
"This, it should still be there!" Zhang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote a few words, and handed it to Tao Jia: "You go to Jin Quan to kick people," Speaking of this, Zhang Zhen hesitated for a moment before saying: "Be careful not to get killed, and inform the official of the investigation results in time!" ”
"Master Xie, definitely, definitely!" Tao Jia took the warrant, was very happy, and bowed down.
......
After Qu Neng and Tao Jia left, Zhang Zhen left Huang Fu: "Ruxi, since you came here today, let's go over what we said in the afternoon again." ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Is there a problem with abolishing the provincial division and adopting the state capital entirely?"
"There is no problem, the same is true in China, it's just that," Huang Fu hesitated for a moment, and said, "In this way, the number of officials will be reduced a lot, but you just said that these officials should be retained." ”
"Don't worry about this," Zhang Zhen waved his hand: "After a while, this official will play Your Majesty, and Lelang Mansion will be included in the North Korean Political Envoy Department, so that there will be more official positions, and if it doesn't work, it can be arranged to the northeast, where there is a great shortage of officials!" ”
"Your Excellency is clever, such as Xi admires!" Hearing Zhang Zhen's categorical voice, Huang Fu's uneasiness in his heart fell to the ground, and he hurriedly praised him.
"Hehe, you......"
......
Following.
When Cheng Shilin and others arrived at the House of Representatives, they saw a group of people replacing the plaques, and at the moment when the sign of the "House of Representatives" was taken down and the plaque of the "North Korean Political Envoy" was hung up, Cheng Shilin couldn't help but burst into tears, and he quickly turned around and blocked it with the sleeves of his robe, lest others find out.
When Cheng Shixuan came back to his senses, he found that the plaque had been replaced, and when he looked around, he found that everyone's eyes were more or less red, and of course there were a few people who had not changed.
Huang Fu has already come, today's meeting is not trivial, there are many things to prepare, first of all, the structure of the Council needs to be adjusted, after all, before yesterday it was still the highest authority of a vassal state, but now it is just a political envoy to the yamen, replacing the plaque is only one of them, and there are many forbidden things to be removed; Secondly, Huang Fu also wanted to observe the performance of these people, what satisfied Huang Fu was that he did not cry bitterly, and those who followed the old master were still emotional, which made Huang Fu feel a little regretful.
At this meeting, Zhang Zhen determined the establishment of the DPRK political envoys, of which Zhang Zhen was the political envoy, Huang Fu and Cheng Shixuan were the left to participate in politics, and Quan Zhun was to participate in politics on the right; Wang Liang was sentenced to punishment according to the procurator, Jin Quan was the deputy envoy, and the grades and positions of the rest of the officials were assessed one by one after participating in politics and according to the inspection of the procuratorial department.
After the appointment, Zhang Zhen immediately ordered someone to serve the official uniform, and ordered everyone to change into the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone naturally received the order.
After that, Zhang Zhen announced the order of the reorganization of administrative divisions, abolished the establishment of the provincial level, and divided the entire political envoy into eight prefectures, including Seoul, Chungju, Cheongju, Wonju, Jeonju, Naju, Gyeongju and Sangju.
Hearing this change, everyone was only slightly surprised, but they were all expected, because this is the kind of establishment in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and this way made by North Korea is essentially to arrange more officials, and it does not have much value.
After announcing these, Zhang Zhen immediately announced the results of the investigation of the North Korean Hou case, which was like stirring up a thousand waves for a while, everyone immediately looked at each other and whispered, in fact, until now, there are still many people who suspect that it is the murderer of the Ming Dynasty, and do not believe that Li Fangyuan is the murderer; Moreover, after Li Fanggan's death, the Ming Dynasty immediately set up a political envoy, which made people feel that it was premeditated.
But with some of the evidence displayed by Jin Quan, especially Li Fanggan's handwriting, the most suspicious people had to keep their mouths shut.
In the end, Jin Quan read out the text he had written all night to denounce Li Fangyuan, which concealed the content of Li Fanggan's disloyalty, but said that Li Fanggan was diligent in political affairs, sympathetic to the lower feelings, mingled with the people, and won the hearts of the people, so Li Fangyuan was jealous, and then sent someone to assassinate......
Although Jin Quan's essay is a bit exaggerated, most of it is based on facts, so many people followed Jin Quan to curse Li Fangyuan, so that Cheng Shixuan, Quan Zhun and others also had to stand up and denounce.
Seeing that the mood at the scene was extremely warm, Zhang Zhen had to stand up and summarize.
For Zhang Zhen, scolding Li Fangyuan is not a burden at all, and his hatred for him is not mixed with any water, but as a political envoy, he can't scold the street like a shrew, so after slightly repeating Jin Quan's text, he assured everyone that the Intelligence Department will arrest the murderers Deputy Quan and Jin Yong as soon as possible, and also revealed that the Investigation Department and the Security Department will soon set up a garrison in North Korea, which will crack down on all those with ill intentions and ignorance of the prestige of heaven.
Then, Zhang Zhen ordered Jin Quan's inscription to be sent to the state capitals, and at the same time drew pictures in the state capitals to arrest the two murderers, Deputy Quan and Quan Yong.
Of course, the smear work against Li Fangyuan is far more than Jin Quan's essay. In the following months, Zhang Zhen launched a grand propaganda offensive, citing various examples, pointing out that the Li family did not have a good person, but a bunch of scum, a cancer on the Korean Peninsula, and the greatest threat to peace on the Korean Peninsula, and the only good man among them, Li Fanggan, was brutally killed, buried in the fire, and there were no bones, so Zhang Zhen vowed to catch the murderer and comfort the soul of North Korea waiting in the sky.
Under this momentum, Li Fangyuan's public opinion counterattack was as vulnerable as the waves hitting a reef.
Of course, the most important reason is not that what Zhang Zhen and Jin Quan said is the truth, but because the swords and guns in the hands of Sheng Yong and Qu Neng are unstoppable.
......
Chengdong Campus.
Seeing Zhang Zhen coming with a group of officials in scarlet official uniforms, Qu Neng hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Zhang, why are you here?" ”
"Hehe, now that the political envoy has just started, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and you still need the help of Master Qu!"
"What do you say, it is my duty to protect the land and the people! Hahaha! ”
Hearing Qu Neng's words, Zhang Zhen smiled slightly, he pointed to the army that was arrayed on the school field, and said, "What troops are there on the general's expedition this time?" Is there anything you need help with? ”
"Hehe, don't worry, my lord, this time under the command of this general, it can be described as a strong soldier, come, my lord, this will introduce you," Qu Neng pulled Zhang Zhen and introduced the generals around him one by one: "This is General Zhang Lunzhang, the commander of the First Guards Army, who was just transferred from Pyongyang last month; This is General Cao Yushu, the commander of the Second Army, who was also transferred from Shandong last month; These were two generals, Mahamu and Arutai, who each commanded a cavalry regiment of about 3,000 men. ”
"I've seen my lord!"
"I've seen Master Zhang!"
When the generals saw Zhang Zhen, they hurriedly came over to greet them, and Zhang Zhen also introduced them to them: "This is Huang Fu who participates in politics on the left, and this is Quan Zhun ...... who participates in politics on the right."
Cheng Shixuan and others carefully observed several generals in front of them, among which Arutai and Mahamu were obvious Mongolians, Mahamu was slightly younger, about thirty-five years old, and he did not seem to be a traditional Mongolian from the face shape, his figure was a little taller than that of ordinary Mongolians, the bridge of his nose was high, his eye sockets were deep, his jaw and cheeks were angular, and the color of his eyes seemed to be slightly different from that of ordinary people, and his expression was also more melancholy, and he didn't like to talk much, he was always thoughtful, and seemed to have an unknown past; Arutai is even less like the Mongols, he is about forty years old, with a hooked nose, light red hair, small eyes, and when he laughs, he will squint in a line, and sometimes he will seem overly enthusiastic when greeting people, but he is not annoying, but Cheng Shilin's first impression of him is not very good, and he feels that his smile seems to be a little fake.
As for Zhang Lun, the commander of the First Army, Cheng Shixuan has seen him very early, and this person has a very good impression on him, he is a traditional northern man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a bold nature, a loud voice, and a good way to govern the army, although it is said that he drinks a lot, but Cheng Shixuan has never seen him drink.
The commander of the Second Army, Cao Yushu, is very different from Zhang Lunbi, this person is about thirty years old, medium height, thin body, slightly thin, he doesn't like to talk much, he doesn't seem to be very willing to interact with people, and the courtesy with Zhang Zhen and others is just faint; Sometimes Cheng Shixuan is thinking, this Cao Yushu should be in the wrong line, if he takes off his military uniform and puts on a Confucian shirt, I am afraid that he will be a beautiful son, so Cheng Shixuan's evaluation of him is not very high, and he thinks that he can achieve the high position of military commander, he should have a special background.
Although Cao Yushu gave a bad impression, the Second Army under his command was impressive, Cheng Shixuan will never forget the sea ships that he saw at the mouth of the Han River that day, they entered the port in small boats, and the first batch of people who went ashore were all dressed in armor, holding knives and guns, and quickly lined up after arriving on the shore and took over the port; The musketeers who entered the harbor were the musketeers, who also quickly lined up and turned to the periphery when they came ashore; And then there were all kinds of artillery, and then there were the baggage troops, and the boats and boats of supplies were jaw-dropping......
If the second army gives people the feeling of being neat and uniform, there are a lot of firearms, and the first army gives people the feeling of being relatively rough, although the equipment is also very good, but the maintenance is not as good as the first army, for example, its armor is not polished enough, but its combat effectiveness is still very good, after Li Fanggan's death, there are also some bandits around Seoul, but as long as these bandits report to Seoul, the cavalry of the first army will be dispatched immediately, and at the latest before the sunset the next day, a group of heads will be brought back.
Now the heads hanging on the head of Seoul are reminding the First Army all the time that it is a mighty and majestic army!
Seeing the First Army go out to quell the rebellion, the ministers, including Zhang Zhen, breathed a sigh of relief, in their opinion, with the First Army dispatched, there should be no problem in quelling the chaos, as for the Second Army, everyone generally felt that it was better not to run around casually, after all, fighting a war depends on courage.
......
With Qu Neng's order, the army of the school turned and headed towards the east gate of Hancheng.
The marching sequence had already been set, Zhang Lun led the First Army as the vanguard, Qu Neng personally led the Second Army as the middle army, Mahamu and Arutai protected the left and right flanks, and as for the rear army, it did not exist.
