Chapter 253: Stand in line
It can be said that the results of this large-scale transfer of officials in Liaodong were somewhat beyond Ye Xun's expectations.
Almost all the civilian officials are gone, and the military generals are only a few insignificant generals, including Ma Lin, the chief soldier of Kaiyuan.
In addition to the personal soldiers of these generals, almost no soldiers followed them, and it was difficult to leave their homeland on the one hand, but more importantly, because of Ye Xun's return again, they saw hope, a hope that they could stick to the countryside and live and work in peace.
The person who did not leave the civil official also surprised Ye Xun, he was Zhang Quan, the inspector of Liaodong.
Ye Xun didn't understand why Zhang Quan stayed, but since he stayed, Ye Xun would not treat him badly, Liaodong Jingluo left, and there would be no more such official position in the future, so Ye Xun directly appointed Zhang Quan as the governor of Liaodong.
Of course, Ye Xun will still give the court a twist, as for whether the officials approve it or not, it is their business, anyway, the final salary has to be opened by him Ye Xun.
Li Guangrong took the initiative to ask to go to the Kuandian front, Ye Xun transferred all the Guangning troops to Shenyang, and then appointed Zhang Qi as the general of Guangning, and he was in charge of this Liaodong gate.
This move of the imperial court is both a bad thing and a good thing for Ye Xun, at least Ye Xun doesn't have to clean it himself.
In fact, due to the frequent wars, the role of civilian officials in Liaodong is not very large, and many places are under military management, so as long as the army is on Ye Xun's side, there will be no big problems.
There is a way to come and not to be rude.
On the way back to Shenyang, Ye Xun ordered Hu Jiucheng and others, who were lurking in the capital, to walk the rumors that the imperial court wanted to give up Liaodong, and this was only the initial stage.
"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures"
"A good man goes to Liaodong to protect his family and defend the country, and he is heroic"
"Don't wait, the young man's head is white... Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Jurchen blood"
A large number of highly inflammatory banners and calligraphy and paintings will soon appear in the streets and alleys of the capital of Daming.
That young man is not hot-blooded? Ye Xun believes that these leaflets and slogans will definitely bring him a large number of young talents.
Ye Xun knows very well that in the secret struggle with the imperial court, if he wants to be invincible, he must first win over public opinion, he always stands on the commanding heights of public opinion, and blames all the faults on the imperial court, coupled with Ye Xun's identity as a eunuch, no one will associate him with Dong Zhuo and others at all.
In the end, the court could only pinch its nose and admit that Ye Xun was de facto self-reliant.
The enthusiasm of the people here in Shenyang is even higher, but Ye Xun has too many things, and he can only live up to the kindness of the people.
After simply greeting the people, Ye Xun invited Zhang Quan into his carriage.
The red sleeves and the little sisters of the Hua family had already entered the city to decorate the house first, otherwise Ye Xun would not have invited Zhang Quan to get in the car.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Zhang Quan smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Ye, you are roasting me on the fire!" ”
Ye Xun said: "Lord Zhang has been an official in Liaodong for the longest time, when you know that although Ye has a lot of problems, he is dedicated to the country and the people, but the court treats me like this, how can it not make people's teeth cold?" ”
"Sometimes, people will always face some choices, since Lord Zhang chooses to stay, then I believe that Lord Zhang is also a good official who has the people and the country in his heart, let us join hands and work together to build a Great Wall of Steel in Liaodong for my Ming Dynasty and the people of my Han family."
Although Zhang Quan has passed the age of impulsiveness, he was still moved by Ye Xun's words, nodded and said: "I want to really do something when I stay, father-in-law, please rest assured, my subordinates will fully cooperate with you."
Ye Xun nodded and said, "At present, the most important thing is the appointment of officials from all over the country, what good countermeasures does Lord Zhang have?" ”
Zhang Quan smiled slightly, and said: "Gonggong Ye is a fan of the authorities, you must know that the real people in the government are not those who are in charge, so no matter who goes, the government affairs of various places will not be left behind, what the father-in-law needs to do is to screen the adjutants in various places, and then reappoint them, so that the new officials will not only no longer be affected by the imperial court, but also will be grateful to the father-in-law and serve the father-in-law wholeheartedly."
This is called a word to wake up the person in the dream, after this incident, don't look at Ye Xun as if he doesn't care, in fact, his mouth is on fire and foaming, and now after listening to Zhang Quan's words, he suddenly feels a sense of relief.
Leaning on the carriage, he sighed, and said, "Lord Zhang can stay, it is really the greatest gift from God to Ye someone."
Zhang Quan waved his hand a little embarrassed and said: "Father-in-law Ye has won the award, and I am also selfish to stay, and my silver is indispensable."
"Haha..."
Listening to Zhang Quan's words, Ye Xun couldn't help but smile, he lacked everything now, that is, he didn't lack silver.
Zhang Quan also smiled, as he said, he was indeed selfish to stay, because with his level, returning to the capital was just a mess in the Inspectorate, and there were more senior imperial histories than him, if there were no special circumstances, he would retire if he got to the fifth grade.
But staying in Liaodong is different, not to mention the official position of governor, which I dare not hope for in my life, even in other aspects, it is much better than in the capital.
Looking at the entire Liaodong, now in addition to Ye Xun, that is, his official position is the largest, and Ye Xun has never put on an official prestige, and he is also extremely respectful to Zhang Quan, what is he not satisfied with being able to display his ambitions under such a person?
Some people say that power is poison, and if you eat it, you will be addicted, which is not true at all, especially for men, rather than going back to the capital to live idlely, it is better to stay in Liaodong and fight!
There is less than a month to go before the New Year, but at this moment the city of Shenyang is already full of festive atmosphere, every household is lit up, when Ye Xun's frame passes, the sound of gongs and drums resounded over the street.
Looking at the grand scene outside the window, Zhang Quan couldn't help but sigh, this is the will of the people, it won't be long before the military and people of Liaodong are afraid that there will be no more shadows of the imperial court.
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Quan couldn't help but be surprised, and peeked at Ye Xun on the other side who was beside the open car window and kept waving to the people.
He's a eunuch, so he shouldn't be self-reliant, right? If he really wants to cut Liaodong out of the Ming Dynasty, where should he go?
For a while, the excitement that I had just been excited about being the governor of Liaodong fell down, and my whole heart was in turmoil.
In fact, if Ye Xun really wants to be independent, Zhang Quan really doesn't know what to do, because people are selfish...
Zhang Quan is not the only one who is in turmoil, Li Yongfang, as the Jurchen envoy, is standing among the people who greet Ye Xun at this moment.
Because Ye Xun went to Liaoyang, Li Yongfang arrived in Shenyang first, this place is not unfamiliar to him, what is unfamiliar is the atmosphere here.
I remember that when Nurhachi's army reached Fushun, the city of Shenyang was filled with the smell of doom, officials ran away, and the people fled, as if this place was about to become a hell on earth.
Looking at the present, everyone's faces are full of happiness, and the grateful and admiring eyes when they look at Ye Xun are enough to represent this person's status in their hearts.
Today's Shenyang is certainly not the Shenyang of the past, even Hetuala, which is the capital of the Golden City, is far inferior to Shenyang now, no matter in that aspect...
