Chapter 874 Fujian Incident
Qin, on behalf of the emperor, cha, on behalf of sending, Qin cha is the meaning of the emperor to send, so the minister of Qin is an official specially sent by the emperor to handle something. There are two main points in this interpretation, the emperor personally dispatched and handled important events, and these two points determined that the Qin mission would inevitably clash with the local officials when he arrived in the locality. Quite simply, the Chin Cha is an outsider who has come to infringe on local interests, and will naturally be resisted by all local officials.
In ancient China, the whole country belonged to the emperor himself, and those officials were just wage earners who worked for the emperor. The emperor was afraid that he would be deceived by the workers, so he had to send his cronies to the place to find out the specific situation of the place, so the basic functions of the ancient Qincha and the inspection team and the inspection team of later generations were similar.
In the second half of the eleventh year of Shenwu, a lot of big things happened in the Ming Dynasty, one was the Henan corruption case, which the emperor Zhu Hongsan sent his son to be the messenger. However, because Zhu Yuan's ability was not good and the local officials in Henan were stirring up the situation, the affairs of Henan came to a complete standstill.
And another Qincha, Yao Qisheng, who was sent to Fujian by the emperor in order to solve the matter of Zheng Chenggong in Taiwan, also encountered resistance from local officials, and the matter of peace talks with Zheng Chenggong was completely put on hold.
Zhu Hongsan always likes to make empiricist mistakes when he travels to this era, thinking that celebrities who have left a good reputation in history must be capable ministers, so he has that kind of desire to collect celebrities. However, this kind of empiricism still played some role in the early stage, such as Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, Qu Shiyun, Lu Daqi, Qian Qianyi and other celebrities, these people did give him different help in the early development of Zhu Hongsan Middle School.
But Zhu Hongsan forgot that these people were officials in the pre-Ming Dynasty, and Chen Zizhuang served as the right attendant and bachelor of the Ministry of Rites during the Chongzhen period, and was a serious provincial and ministerial-level senior official. Although Zhang Jiayu is young, he also worked as an editor of the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and as for Qu Shiyun, Lu Daqi, Qian Qianyi and others, they have all worked in the local central government, and this kind of bureaucrat with administrative ability can quickly play a role after joining Zhu Hongsan's team after a run-in period.
But Yu Jackie Chan and Yao Qisheng are different, Yu Jackie Chan and Yao Qisheng both became famous during the Kangxi period, and in history, the two of them also went through the training of grassroots officialdom before they could grow into feudal officials. But now it's different, Yu Chengchan is just a person who has failed to take the exam for many years, and he has not been tempered by my Ming officialdom, so he naturally can't effectively assist Zhu Yuan.
Yao Qisheng is the same, Yao Qisheng in history was very bumpy before middle age, he went to the mountains and went to the countryside, he was in prison and carried a gun, he was a magistrate, a political envoy, and a governor. After this kind of training, Yao Qisheng can naturally see through those things in the officialdom and control everything in his own hands. But now it's different, Yao Qisheng is only thirty-eight years old this year, and his official position is only as a big secretary by the emperor's side. This kind of officialdom newcomer went to Fujian to fight with those old officialdom fritters, who were their opponents.
When Yao Qisheng first arrived in Fuzhou, Yuan Pengnian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Tong Dafang, the governor of Fujian, were more supportive of his work, and Yao Qisheng also met with Chen Yonghua, Zheng Chenggong's representative, several times, and although no substantive agreement was reached, they both left a good impression on the other party.
But after half a month, I don't know why, Yuan Pengnian and Tong Dafang began to not
Cooperate with Yao Qisheng's work. At first, he just pushed back and didn't let Yao Qisheng and Chen Yonghua meet, and in the end, even Yuan Tong and the others didn't see Yao Qisheng.
Yao Qisheng was similar to Zhu Yuan at the beginning, and he took out his own style to negotiate with Yuan Pengnian, wanting to negotiate with Zheng Chenggong next. But Yuan Pengnian is also an old man in officialdom, and he scolded Yao Qisheng back with a word. Very simply, Yao Qisheng's holy decree only stated that Yao Qisheng was ordered to inspect Fujian's coastal defense affairs, but did not actually specify that he would be sent to deal with the matter of peace talks with Zheng Chenggong.
The holy decree is also Zhu Hongsan's helplessness, and now the entire Ming Dynasty has completed the reunification in form, because the last separatist force, Zhu Youlang, has died, so Taiwan is an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty on official documents. But this problem comes, Taiwan is a part of China, so Zhu Hongsan, as the central government, cannot negotiate with the local government on an equal footing, so it cannot be written on the holy decree that Yao Qisheng's main purpose is to negotiate with Zheng Chenggong, and he can only write that Yao Qisheng will inspect Fujian coastal defense on behalf of the emperor.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with writing like this, there are many unspoken rules in Chinese officialdom, and there are many officials who use empty titles to do other things. So as long as the magistrate cooperates, Yao Qisheng's trip to Fujian is not a big problem.
But the problem lies with the magistrates, half a month after Yao Qisheng arrived in Fujian, Yuan Pengnian and Tong Dafang received a letter from Tong Ge Lao in Beijing, asking them to find an opportunity to disrupt the peace talks, and it is best to fight with Zheng Chenggong.
Tong Yangjia is the backstage boss of Yuan Tong and the two, these two naturally want to listen to Tong Yangjia, anyway, the emperor's holy decree did not specify what Yao Qisheng did, how to interpret the holy decree depends on the presence of officials.
Yuan Tong and the others immediately took a cold approach to the peace talks, and it is very difficult to accomplish one thing in China, but it is very easy not to do anything. Yuan Pengnian took advantage of his status as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to order Yao Qisheng to inspect the coastal defense in accordance with the holy decree. At the same time, Tong Dafang began to use the power in his hands to set up obstacles to the peace talks.
Of course, Tong Dafang didn't engage in any drastic means, so it would be a success. Tong Dafang, in the name of protecting Chen Yonghua, put the people sent by Zheng Chenggong under house arrest, and at the same time cut off the water and supplies of the post station, and only gave food and drinking water to maintain basic life every day, and also called protecting Chen Yonghua's safety in the name of protecting Chen Yonghua, because Tong Dafang received a secret report from Jinyiwei that someone in the Zheng family wanted to assassinate Chen Yonghua.
Under the obstruction of the magistrate, Chen Yonghua also felt that there was no fun in peace talks, so after staying in Fuzhou for more than a month, he resigned and returned to Taiwan.
Yao Qisheng was so angry that he was about to reach peace talks after learning that Chen Yonghua was gone, but now he was all reconciled by Yuan Pengnian and Tong Dafang, but Yao Qisheng had no way to deal with these two, and the right that the emperor gave him was only the right to make decisions on the spot for officials below the fourth rank, not including the fourth rank officials. And Yuan Pengnian, as the governor, is from the first product, and Tong Dafang, as the governor, is the second product, these two people are not Yao Qisheng can deal with, not to mention that there is Tong Yangjia standing behind these two people, Yao Qisheng has no way except to scold these two people on the secret fold.
However, after Yao Qisheng heard that Chen Yonghua returned to Taiwan, he felt that this was also an opportunity, the emperor's holy decree to him was to inspect coastal defense, and in order to deal with Zheng Chenggong in Fujian Province, eighty percent of the sailors were concentrated in Zhangquan Erfu, anyway, they wanted to inspect coastal defense, no
For example, go to Zhangquan to see if you can get in touch with the Zheng family on the two islands of Xiamen and Kinmen in the name of inspecting coastal defense.
Yao Qisheng has fallen into the trap of Yuan Pengnian and Tong Dafang until now, Yao Qisheng didn't know when he first arrived, although Jinxia was managed by the Zheng family, but the defender generals on Jinxia and Zheng Chenggong were not of the same mind. Now the Xiamen guard is Zheng Chenggong's cousin, Zheng Lian Jinmen is Zheng Cai, and it is very unfortunate that Zheng Lian and Zheng Cai are one of the generals who oppose Zheng Chenggong's peace talks.
Governor Yuan Pengnian readily agreed when he learned that Yao Qisheng was going to Quanzhou, and sent a thousand people to escort Yao Qisheng south.
Yao Qisheng had a very good idea, and when he arrived in Quanzhou, he contacted the Zheng generals in Kinmen and Xiamen, and then bypassed the Fujian magistrates to directly negotiate peace with Zheng Chenggong. But he didn't expect that Yao Qisheng had just arrived in Quanzhou and had not yet had contact with the Zheng family before he was attacked.
The patrol battalion in Fujian Province is different from other provinces, in order to save financial resources, other provinces will protect the territory and the people, clear out bandits to the task of handing over the task of local guards, although the system of guards collapsed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, these guards are still officers and soldiers, after some basic training can still be qualified for this kind of task, this is also Zhu Hongsan came up with a trick for waste utilization.
However, the situation in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang is different from that of inland provinces, because there is such an overseas force as Zheng Chenggong.
It's okay for those guards to bully the bandit people, but it's not good for the well-equipped and well-trained Zheng Jiajun. Therefore, in order to stabilize his rear before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Hongsan transferred a large number of Manchu troops such as Han Army Banner and Green Battalion captured in the Nanjing Campaign and Nanchang Campaign to the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and set up a total of eight town patrol battalions along the coastline to guard against Zheng Chenggong.
These Han army flags may not have the combat effectiveness of Zhu Hongsan's new army, but they can still face the Zheng family's army, so they will win and lose each other in the conflict with Zheng Chenggong in the early stage.
It is precisely because these patrol battalions are the banners of the Han army that Zhu Hongsan sent all the Han army banner generals captured in previous battles to Fujian, such as Jin Li captured in the Battle of Hangzhou, Luo Chengyao captured in the Battle of Nanjing, Ma Degong captured in the Battle of Yangzhou, Meng Qiaofang and Li Guohan captured in the Battle of Zhangde, and Tong Guonai, a relative of Tong Yangjia in Beijing, who are now the commanders of the eight towns of the Fujian Patrol Battalion.
Of course, these people are completely second-rate generals in Zhu Hongsan's group because of their identity, and they are all born to Xiao Niang, so these guys quickly joined Tong Yangjia, who is also from Liaodong, in line with the principle of huddling together for warmth.
After receiving Tong Yangjia's order, these guys immediately organized a death squad of 500 people, put on the clothes of the Zheng family army on the other side, and waited for Yao Qisheng in an ambush outside Quanzhou City.
The attack took place twenty miles from Quanzhou City by Yao Qisheng, and the five hundred men began to attack the Qincha team. But fortunately, Tong Yangjia wanted to leave Yao Qisheng with his life on his back, and the two hundred guards of Qin Cha were really powerful, and after half a day of hard fighting, these guys were repelled.
As a magistrate in Zhejiang, Tong Dafang rushed to the scene as soon as possible to give cordial condolences to Yao Qisheng, who was not dead, and at the same time Tong Dafang checked the body of the dead attacker, and came to the final conclusion that these guys were from the Zheng family on the other side.
