Chapter 181: Meet the Governor
The full name of the Governor of Liangguang is "Governor of Liangguang and other places to supervise military affairs, food and salaries and governors", and he was not a magistrate before the Qing Dynasty, including the governor. When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he was afraid that the local power would be too great and he would become the temperance envoy of the Tang Dynasty, so he made a system of separation of powers.
At the provincial level, a three-division system has been set up, with the proclamation of political envoys in charge of civil affairs, the administration of justice according to the procuratorial envoys, and the command of envoys in charge of military affairs. This kind of system looks very beautiful, but the Chinese know that no matter how much you are in charge, you can't do anything.
At the time of the founding of the country, the population was small and there were few things, so the three-division system could still be adhered to. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the population increased, and there were more and more local disputes, and the central government established a governor system.
At that time, the governor system was similar to that of the ministers of later generations, and they were organized in the central government, working below, and managing several prefectures. Take it back as soon as it's done.
But there are some things that cannot be solved by a province, such as rebellion. The rebel can't say that he is required to rebel in one place, of course, he moves everywhere, so the governor who manages several provinces appears.
However, at this time, the governor was still in the nature of a chase, and he was abolished after settling specific matters. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was set to customize. The country was divided into nine governors, who were in charge of the military and civil affairs of one or more provinces.
Some governors also held other positions, such as the governor of Liangjiang, who also served as the governor of Caoyun. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Zhili concurrently served as the prime minister's yamen for state affairs, that is, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The governor of Liangguang in the Ming Dynasty was first established in Jingtai for three years, when the ethnic minorities in Liangguang rebelled. The imperial court felt that a governor could no longer suppress it, so the position of governor of Liangguang was established.
However, it was not customized at that time, and after the first year of Chenghua, due to the growing population of Guangdong and the developed commerce and trade in southern China, piracy was rampant. That's why the governor of Liangguang became customized.
In history, after Shen Youlong went to Nanzhili to become an official, he was replaced by Ding Kuichu, the governor of Huguang, but the big butterfly Zhu Hongsan appeared, and now the governor of Liangguang, the feudal official, has become Feng Ruoshu.
Today is the last day of rest for Feng Zhitai, the governor of Liangguang, in Dongguan, so all kinds of officials of all sizes rushed to pat their ass early and send off the emperor of Liangguang to get out of here.
Now Feng Zhitai is meeting with several officials in the house, that is, Zhu Hongsan, the king of Chu. Ma Jiyuan, Feng Ziyong, Tong Yangjia, Xu Dali, and Peng Ershu were several prefect-level officials.
Peng Ershu is a new recruit, and he originally regarded what Zhu Hongsan said as a fart. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the governor Xingyuan really sent Guan Fang and asked him to go to Dongguan to meet the master of Taiwan.
Peng Ershu was very surprised, he didn't expect the energy of King Chu to be so great.
Peng Ershu still had a little shame when he was young, but after more than ten years of eunuch life, he had already lost anything. He is because there is no one above, and he has been in the position of Zhixian for more than ten years. In the end, he was also put on the edge of the county as a county magistrate.
Therefore, Peng Ershu decided to seize the opportunity this time, and he came to the Chu King's Mansion to meet the King of Chu as soon as he received the notice. And very undisciplinedly bowed to the big gift. You must know that if this news spreads, he will not be able to mix it up in the officialdom at all.
But Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied with Peng Ershu's surrender, and encouraged him to go to Lianzhou Mansion to work hard. Strive to build the Shangsizhou coal base as soon as possible.
Of course, Peng Ershu promised to live up to the hopes of the King of Chu.
After Peng Ershu came to the post station, he was even more grateful to Zhu Hongsan, and looked at who was sitting in the hall. Ma Jiyuan Chongzhen has been in the state of Zhengwupin for ten years, and the hinterland of the Central Plains in Xinyang is not comparable to the kind of place where birds don't in Shangsizhou.
Feng Ziyong doesn't say it, he is also the same knowledge of the fifth grade, and Xu Dali has been the prefect of the fourth grade for many years. That obscene old man Tong Yangjia heard that he was the cheap old man of the King of Chu. Peng Ershu felt that he had no door and no faction to serve as the prefect with these people, and it was really timely.
These people Feng Ruoshu have discussed with Zhu Hongsan many times, and they have nothing to say. Feng Ruoshu just symbolically said a few clichΓ©s to protect the territory and the people and reimburse the court. Then he said that now is an extraordinary period, and everyone does not need to go to Zhaoqing to watch the ceremony, and go directly to the local government to take office.
Then everyone expressed their stance one after another, never disappointing the hopes of the people in Taiwan, and then got up to say goodbye.
The second wave came in with some petty officials, a few petty officials of six or seven grades. Zhu Hongsan used these official positions to bribe some local gentry in Guangdong.
In the second wave, the highest position was Li Zhi, who was from the fifth grade.
Li Zhi arrived very early this morning, and the master of Taiwan asked him to report the situation. Feng Ruoshu is also the governor of Guangdong, and no matter what position he is, he is in charge of Li Zhi's sea patrol.
But Li Zhi didn't understand what was going on after thinking about it for a long time. He is just a fifth-grade Taoist, and in the eyes of Feng Ruoshu, a second-grade official, he is really a sesame mung bean-like official position, I don't know how Feng Zhitai knows about it.
When he entered the house, Feng Ruoshu still said the same thing, saying a set of great principles for the country and the people, and then let these petty officials get out, without giving them a chance to speak. It was Zhu Hongsan who won the opportunity to meet this time, otherwise it would be impossible to meet them with Feng Ruoshu's status.
Li Zhi was also about to go out together, when he heard Feng Zhitai say, "Lord Li of the Patrol Sea, please stay." β
This is looking for something to say. When Li Zhi heard this, he turned around and returned to the hall.
Feng Ruoshu asked first, "Master Li, tell me about the situation of your sea patrol." β
Li Zhi arched his hand and said: "Yes, Lord Hui, there are a total of 8,000 soldiers under the lowly position, and they are stationed in the six water villages at the mouth of the Pearl River. There are 52 sea-going ships of 800 materials, 98 sea-going ships of 600 to 400 materials, and 260 small boats of 200 materials. β
I didn't expect this Li Zhi to have some strength. Feng Ruoshu then asked, "How is the situation in Nantou Water Village?" β
Li Zhi said: "Nantou is where the Yamen of the Patrol Sea Road is located, with 3,500 soldiers, 30 large sea ships, 52 medium sea ships, and 110 small boats. β
Feng Ruoshu nodded and said, "Lord Li, now that piracy is rampant, you patrol the sea to strengthen training and protect the safety of merchant ships going to sea, do you know?" β
Li Zhi nodded and said: "My subordinates also think so, so in the past few years, all soldiers have to go to sea for three months every year, and now the subordinate soldiers can treat pirates as ten." β
When Feng Ruoshu heard Li Zhi say this, he thought that Zhu Hongsan still has some vision, and this Li Zhi still has some ability.
Feng Ruoshu said: "Master Li, you have done a good job. Now the Governor has a task for you. β
Hearing Shangguan's order, Li Zhi hurriedly stood up and said, "Please show the master of the table." β
Feng Ruoshu glanced at Li Zhi and said, "Now that piracy is rampant, it has affected the shipping business of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and this governor orders you to lead all the personnel and ships of the sea patrol to be managed by Shi Ma Mingyuan, the governor of the Chu Palace. Your mission is to protect the fleet of the Chu Prince's Mansion from loss. β
Li Zhi suspected that he had misheard, and asked, "Master Zhangtai, can you say it again?" β
Feng Ruoshu said what he just said again, this time Li Zhi heard clearly, this is to let himself be managed by that bastard King Chu, how can this work?
Li Zhi said: "Lord of Taiwan, the imperial court has a system that does not allow vassal kings to associate with local officials. β
Feng Ruoshu said: "I asked you to go to the king of Chu Changshi, don't you know what Changshi does?" "The long history of the Ming Dynasty is to put it bluntly, that the imperial court prevented the vassal king from having spies set up in the palace with different intentions, and they had the right to repair the vassal king.
Li Zhi is also a Jinshi, of course he knows what Changshi does. Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "Lord Zhangtai, I am an official of the imperial court, it is really inappropriate to escort the vassal king." β
At this time, Feng Ruoshu was also a little unhappy, let you do it, what are you doing with so much nonsense.
Feng Ruoshu's tone was a little cold, and he asked, "You are an official of the imperial court, aren't you under the control of this governor?" β
Feng Ruoshu is the Governor of Liangguang Military Affairs, and is in charge of this sea patrol. Seeing that Feng Ruoshu was unhappy, Li Zhi gritted his teeth, thinking that he must push this errand out today, or he would definitely be worse off than dead if he fell into the hands of the King of Chu.
Li Zhi's heart was horizontal and said: "Lord Zhangtai, aren't you afraid that I will directly write to the court?" β
Feng Ruoshu didn't expect Li Zhi to dare to say this, so he laughed angrily and said: "Lord Li, you are just a Cong Wupin, don't say whether you have the right to write alone, don't you know that Lord Shoufu Ma, Lord Ruan, the secretary of the military department, and this governor are the same year?" Don't you know that the beloved daughter of Lord Qian, the secretary of the ministry, was personally married to the king of Chu by His Majesty? β
Hearing Feng Ruoshu's words, Li Zhi was like hearing a thunderbolt from the sky, and scolded in his heart: "Zhu Hongsan, you faint king, don't you want to let me go?" β
