Chapter 149: Joint Conference of Civil and Military Affairs
Two days apart.
The first plenary meeting of the top leaders of the Jinhua Rebel Army was held to discuss the distribution of the spoils captured after the defeat of Zheng Cai.
Zhang Qiang sat in the main seat of the large conference room on the second floor of the Governor's Palace.
The first row below is Mi Chun, the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture, Zhou Congee, the prefect of Taizhou Prefecture, and You Haibo, the prefect of Chuzhou Prefecture.
The second row is Wei Wuji, the governor of Jinhua Mansion, Zhang Ying, the commander of Taizhou Mansion, He Jin, the governor of Chuzhou Prefecture, and Tang Dianfeng, the governor of Jianning Mansion.
The third row is Mi Lin, the chief soldier of Jinhua Mansion, Du Ge, the chief soldier of Taizhou Prefecture, Hu Kui, the chief soldier of Chuzhou Prefecture, Xuanyuan Longfei, the chief soldier of Wenzhou Prefecture, and Liu Liangzuo, the chief soldier of Quzhou Prefecture.
The fourth platoon is Lin Chengcheng, deputy chief soldier of Jianning Mansion, Zhao Siyang, general of artillery, and Chen Hanhui, deputy chief soldier of Taizhou Mansion.
The reason why there is a fourth row is because Zhang Qiang has something to do with these people, and the high-level meeting he held today, obviously, the level of deputy chief soldier entered this conference room.
The prefect, the general soldier, and the admiral, to say that the admiral is one level higher than the prefect, but in the Ming Dynasty, where civil officials are higher than military generals, even Zhang Qiang has to abide by these rules, and he doesn't want to impose his future generations of ideas on the current people.
So the Admiral actually had to be a little lower in rank than the Prefect.
On one side of the conference room, there was a row of tables on which were recruited some of the most talented people, and their task was to record everyone's speeches at the meeting, and Zhu Dayou summarized them every time.
Zhu Dayou sat at the bottom of the rostrum, in front of these people.
At the beginning of the meeting, Zhu Dayou concisely explained the theme of the meeting, and then sat down and waited for Zhang Qiang to speak.
Zhang Qiang cleared his throat and looked at Lin Chengcheng, who immediately lowered his head.
Although he was a strong force in the peasant rebel army, and he also caused countless injuries to the Ming Dynasty during the Ming Dynasty, he did not have any major achievements, and he was really not very qualified in terms of fighting.
The previous time he won first and then lost outside the capital of Chuzhou, this time he almost couldn't withstand the pressure in Tiantai County and gave up Tiantai County, which almost led to the collapse of the whole army, so he also knew what the result of being called this time was, so he could only bow his head and say nothing.
"In the battle with Zheng Cai, Lin Chengcheng did not fulfill the duties of a commander, so I decided to transfer Lin Chengcheng to be responsible for the management of the prisoner camp and the hard labor camp in the territory of the Jinhua Volunteer Army in the future, he was in charge of this part before, therefore, from now on he still serves as the head of these two battalions, as for the official position, the same as the deputy commander-in-chief, under the direct management of the governor's office."
Zhang Qiang looked at Lin Chengcheng and announced his punishment for Lin Chengcheng.
No one had any opinions, Zhang Qiang swept everyone over, and then said:
"Since then, the establishment of the administrative joint conference, the chairman of the administrative joint conference I personally serve, in charge of civil affairs, approval, justice, garrison, finance, personnel and other work, the administrative joint conference by the Jinhua prefect Mi Chun, the prefect of the state of You Haibo, the prefect of Taizhou Zhou Congee, and the future Quzhou prefect, the prefect of Wenzhou and even the prefect on the territory we laid down, they jointly deal with the administrative affairs of the territory."
Zhu Da was stunned, and immediately raised his hand and asked, "My lord, what are you doing?" β
Zhang Qiang glanced at Zhu Dayou, "Aren't I the chairman, in the end, the major matters will be decided by me, and other trivial matters will be coordinated and solved by these people." β
Zhou Congee raised his hand and asked, "My lord, do you have to deal with everything at this joint meeting?" β
Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, each prefect manages the affairs of the territory under its jurisdiction, but if there is something to be coordinated, a joint meeting will be held, and several prefects will coordinate and solve it, and if it can't be solved, report it to me, and I'll solve it." β
Xuanyuan Longfei smiled and said: "My lord, you are lazy, everything has been solved by the prefect's joint meeting, don't you have a lot of time to pick up girls?" β
Zhang Qiang glared at Xuanyuan Longfei, to be honest, Xuanyuan Longfei said what was on his mind, but it was not all, what he wanted was to hand over civil affairs to his subordinates to solve, and there was another problem, in addition to You Haibo, other people still have a lot of deficiencies in solving civil affairs problems, they are not talents, nor are they lifting people, and they have not received training and learning in civil affairs and administrative affairs, and they have little experience.
The old man leads the newcomer, this is his original intention to set up the joint conference.
In fact, he didn't have more experience, so he set up this joint meeting to learn from it, and in the future, he might join more Nanming or experienced officials from the original Ming Dynasty to help his henchmen learn to handle things.
Xuanyuan Longfei couldn't withstand the pressure of Zhang Qiang's murderous gaze, and sat down with his head bowed.
Zhang Qiang said: "In addition, a military joint conference will be established, which will be composed of the governors of each province, Jinhua Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, Quzhou Mansion, Chuzhou Prefecture, Wenzhou Mansion,"
Liu Liangzuo's heart was beating faster, he was just a general soldier and a descendant, could he have a place in it?
Zhang Qiang continued: "This joint meeting is chaired by me, Wei Wuji is the vice chairman, the overall management of this joint meeting, the commander of the Navy Zhang Ying also joined, because there are no commanders in many places, therefore, for the time being, this joint meeting is dominated by Wei Wuji, He Jin, Tang Dianfeng, and the general soldiers are members of this meeting, you have the right to make suggestions, but the final decision is made by the three admirals."
The overall management of the training of recruits in the provinces, the management of prisoners, the management of the militia, the garrison of troops, the handling of border conflicts, as for the right to transfer troops, the right to go to war, need to be decided while I am not there, and if I am not there, it is made by the three admirals, and they are responsible and report to me, and if something goes wrong, all three of them are fully responsible. β
Zhang Ying was stunned, he became the only member, but he had no right to decide.
But he knew that he was not an old man in the Jinhua Righteous Army at all, he was a person who took refuge, and too many rights were not good for him, but to be a member of the committee, the rights were still very great, and this was also an honor, at least he entered the top of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army.
He knows his ability, the Jinhua Yijun now has no water master talent, so he let himself become a high-level person who defected to the early stage, and no matter how much ability he has in the future, he has to figure it out under himself, and he is still very satisfied with this result.
Tang Dianfeng was also very satisfied, he was a general of the rebel army who defected, and he could become a member of the highest level, he also felt incredible, he still felt unworthy when he served as the governor of Jianning Mansion before, and this time he felt even more unworthy, not worthy of ability, but since Zhang Qiang raised him to this height, he felt that he must study hard and take on this responsibility.
Although this committee does not have the right to go to war, it has the power of war, and when the enemy invades, the three of them are the highest command level of this army, and they are the senior members under one person and above ten thousand people.
It's a member of the imperial court.
He is talking about the Jinhua Righteous Army, the imperial court, and he has already regarded Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army as a Ming force like Dashun and Daxi.
Wei Wuji was also very satisfied, from a family member, to the current commander, and the vice chairman of the joint council above the governor's power, although he didn't know what the word chairman meant, but he knew that this meant that in the military, most of it was he who had the final say.
Compared to Zhou Congee in the joint meeting of civil officials and has to be under You Haibo, it is obvious that You Haibo is a person from Nanming, and he has rich experience in dealing with civil affairs, Zhou Congee is also a family member like him, and he must be below You Haibo in terms of ability, so of course he has to be second, compared with the two people, Zhou Congee is half a level lower than him, at least on the same level as him, and the meaning of the level is because Daming has always been a civilian official who is superior to the military attachΓ©, and he is also very satisfied with this result.
The first general, this is his idea.
He Jin was also very satisfied, he never thought that he could get such treatment, the admiral was only the highest military governor of the first government, but the member of the military joint conference, that is, Zhang Qiang, the high-level of the Jinhua Righteous Army, he thought that he was at least a second-grade member.
Everyone is very satisfied, Zhang Qiang is also very satisfied, with a joint meeting, he bought these people, and he can be more relaxed, the best of both worlds.
Zhang Qiang knows that he is not a capable person, and his henchmen are not some capable people, but he wants to find a step and motivation for himself and his henchmen to continue to be high-ranking officials and continue to move forward, without being squeezed out or bitten back by other capable people, thus ruining the foundation he has developed.
