Section 198 The role of Yan Jizu

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Chongzhen's originally skeptical eyes gradually softened, the young man suddenly ascended to a high position, and he had not yet learned the compromise in officialdom, between good and evil, he paid attention to the clear distinction between love and hate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, only this kind of sharpness and momentum, without paying attention to compromise, can have unexpected effects.

To tell the truth, Chongzhen is an acute person who always wants to receive miraculous results.

And if you want to receive miraculous results, you have to use strange people, and if you want to enable strange people, you have to find talents from newcomers. Therefore, Chongzhen always likes to enable newcomers.

This is the logical relationship between Chongzhen's character and the way of employing people, including the use of Qin Haoming as the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou.

"Yang Aiqing is honest and hardworking, and there are few courtiers, but the talent is enough to help. So that the courtiers will not be constrained by the door, so that they can concentrate on the thief, it may not be impossible.

However, since Qin Aiqing doesn't like it, in order to avoid discord among the generals and the battle of will, I will make Yang Aiqing back down, hoping that Qin Aiqing will not be disappointed. ”

In the end, although Chongzhen made peace with a handful of mud, he still agreed to Qin Haoming's request.

It should be said that from his heart, he hoped that the courtiers would be twisted into a force, especially Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Haoming and Yang Sichang.

But he knew that it was just an extravagant hope, and the noisy quarrels among the ministers over the years had already made him physically and mentally exhausted, and forbearance for the country was just an empty word.

"By the will of God!"

Qin Haoming sighed secretly, the relationship that has been established for a long time, Yang Sichang is still indestructible in Chongzhen's heart. Moderation is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

The main event has fallen to the dust, and the rest is some words and explanations of Chongzhen's encouragement.

For example, let Qin Haoming bring the Tianxiong Army under his command to Fujian, exempt Fujian and Guangzhou from two years of food for military training, and so on.

At the same time, it also means that the third year must be known.

"Let's talk about it here for the time being, the two Aiqing will go back and have a good rest, and we'll talk about it another day.

As for Qin Aiqing, you might as well walk around the capital in the near future and appreciate the customs. ”

Chongzhen rubbed his head a little tiredly, and the long conversation for a few hours undoubtedly consumed a lot of his energy.

"Wechen retires!"

"Wechen retires!"

Qin Haoming and Lu Xiangsheng saluted and retired, and under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, who was on duty in the palace, they left the palace.

"Go to the Guild Hall."

Lu Xiangsheng is a magistrate and does not have his own mansion in the capital, let alone Qin Haoming.

As a result, they could only spend the night in the hall under the leadership of the palace guards.

The Huitong Pavilion is also commonly known as the post station, which is dedicated to staying in various places and the royal palace and internal and external officials. There is everything in it, there is a banquet hall and a back hall, which is thought to be a place for banquets.

There are also horses, donkeys, oxen, boatmen and sedan chairmen for the exclusive use of high-ranking officials, depending on the situation.

According to the regulations, 80, 60 and 30 horses are generally required for important places, and 20, 10 and 5 horses are required for non-important places.

In addition, each post station should also store sufficient food for passing people and officials.

The Ming Dynasty was very strict with the management of post stations, although many local post stations were eliminated, but the capital's ones have been retained.

They have different names, in Beijing called the Huitong Hall, in the outside called the post station, the Huitong Hall was originally located in Nanjing, moved to Beijing during the Yongle period.

During the orthodox years, it was set up in the north and south departments, the north hall was six, the south hall was three, and one ambassador and two deputy envoys were set up, and one deputy envoy was in charge of the south hall.

During the Chongzhen period, the military affairs increased, and the hall under the military department gradually expanded.

The military department will be in the east of Qingfang Street, orthodox six years to build, Hongzhi five years to rebuild, there are 376 rooms, east and west front and back nine wings.

Lu Xiangsheng was obviously a frequent visitor to the Huitong Pavilion, and he was familiar with the two upper rooms of Wenzhao Pavilion, and the other accompanying guards asked for fifteen Datong shops of Wucheng Pavilion.

Even in the middle of the night, when the deputy envoy on duty heard that Lu Xiangsheng had arrived, he still got up in person and entertained them properly.

Lu Xiangsheng is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and his position has long been rotated in the positions of governor, governor, secretary of the military department, and commander, and no one in the entire Ming Dynasty dares to slack off on him in etiquette.

It should be said that the rooms of the hall are not much better than the star-rated hotel suites of later generations, and the four treasures of the study room such as antique mahogany furniture and pen and ink inkstone are neatly placed.

For high-ranking officials, hot water is also available throughout the day.

Qin Haoming lay comfortably in the large wooden barrel filled with hot water, sleeping.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door.

"Wait a minute!"

Qin Haoming shouted, grabbed a towel and hurriedly wiped it, could it be that the senior officials of the same hall still arranged to sleep?

Otherwise, when is this time, Lu Xiangsheng is also tired from a day, and it is impossible to knock on the door and chat again.

Tangled, should it be corrupt?

opened the door from time to time, but it was Yan Jizu who was wearing a vermilion robe, his eyes were red, and he was a little haggard, standing at the door.

It seems that he deliberately waited for Qin Haoming to get drunk, and there were people from the hall next to him carrying food boxes and wine.

"Disturbing General Qin late at night, I still hope to forgive my sins. The grace of life, I don't know how to thank you? ”

After the personnel set up the dishes and chopsticks and left, Yan Jizu bowed deeply 90 degrees, and his attitude was respectful.

The ghost door was closed and walked around, and he was able to walk out of the prison cell of the Criminal Department on the same day, without being tortured and reinstated as an official, all thanks to Qin Haoming.

"Lord Yan is polite, it's all due to Lu Du. The kid just happened to be at the right time, and the effort of his hands was not enough to worry about. ”

Qin Haoming avoided it lightly and spoke.

Thank you for your kindness!

Yan Jizu didn't get too entangled, Wang Chengen had already told him all about the process, but the young general in front of him didn't hold grace and self-respect, which made him even more admired.

"After this incident, the old man was discouraged, and he really didn't want to stay in the Ming officialdom anymore, and after a little arrangement, he returned to the countryside to beg for the remains of the Son of Heaven."

The two sides sat down, a glass of wine was down, Yan Jizu shook his head and said.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was really dark, and Liu Zeqing, Ni Chong and others avoided the war, but they were safe.

And if he hadn't been for Qin Haoming's help, he would probably have no luck. As for the signatures of the officials of Shandong officialdom, that is just icing on the cake.

has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and he knows too well what it is.

"Lord Yan doesn't have to be like this, it's just that there are occasional setbacks, isn't it good luck every time?

Adults should be more courageous and seek well-being for the people of Shandong.

Besides, Liu Zeqing, Ni Pet and others also rely on the suppression of the boss. Otherwise, they will continue to plague the people of Shandong. ”

With this kindness between the two sides, Qin Haoming's speech was undoubtedly much more casual.

However, at this point, there was a faint movement in his heart, and a new idea gradually formed.

The Dezhou Mansion is under the rule of Yan Jizu, and if he helps, it is undoubtedly more reliable than Ni Pet, and it is also more convenient to penetrate.

"Old, now that the Ming Dynasty is broken, and the people's hearts are dark, I'm afraid that without their means and subordinates, they can't fight them.

What's more, Ni Pet and Ben Fu are not subordinate to each other, Liu Zeqing and Ben Fu are at the same level, it is difficult! ”

Yan Jizu shook his head and toasted Qin Haoming, feeling a lot of melancholy.

While the powers of the three divisions of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated on the governor and the governor, various restraining forces on the governor also existed.

Between Xuande and Orthodoxy, on the one hand, governors and town guards were dispatched to various places, and on the other hand, they were gradually stationed in town guard officials.

As a result, in some areas, a new triangular relationship has been formed in which the three towns and guards of the general army, the lieutenant officer, and the civil servant stand side by side.

After Jiajing, the status of the general army declined, and the lieutenant officers of the town guard were withdrawn, but in terms of system, the general army and the governor were still in a par relationship, and the border towns were reinstated from time to time to establish the lieutenant officers to guard.

Therefore, in the border areas, the commander-in-chief and lieutenant officers remained a restraining force against the governor.

Although Shandong does not belong to the border pass, it has continuous natural disasters and natural uprisings, which is equivalent to a quasi-border pass. Therefore, the position of Liu Zeqing's general army is more critical.

"My lord's words are wrong! After more than ten years of hard study, he has traveled the world, raised the army and the people, and strived to leave a name in history!

It doesn't matter if Ni Pet is not under the command, or Liu Zeqing is at the same level, but seriously speaking, Lord Yan is still their superior, how can he allow this shameless person to continue to be free?

To tell the truth, the Son of Heaven summoned the general today and ordered me to be the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou provinces, so the general has no time to separate.

Otherwise, I will let these two people be ruined and treacherous! ”

Qin Haoming impassionedly persuaded Yan Jizu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to make him muster up his fighting spirit.

"Yikes! It is gratifying to congratulate, but I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to value General Qin so much. ”

Yan Jizu gasped, the governors of the two provinces who were less than twenty years old were the only ones in Daming!

Of course, the children of the noble family who inherited the merits of the previous dynasty are not counted, and only Qin Haoming is the one who can do it alone.

"Please keep it a secret from the boss, and the general also knows how the Son of Heaven persuaded the ministers?"

Regarding this matter, Qin Haoming was very curious, what means did Chongzhen have to make the princes of the court submit?

"The Son of Heaven ascended the throne as a young man, and there is no shortage of means, which should not be underestimated. General Qin can just wait with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry too much.

However, in order to gain a foothold in Fujian and Guangzhou, it is necessary to master the coastal defense forces.

The virtuous do not avoid relatives, the old man is a native of Longxi County, Zhangzhou, and has a nephew who is a guerrilla in Yuegang coastal defense, General Qin can see it when the time comes, see if it can be used? ”

"Oh, that's really great, Ben is worried that there is no Haishi manpower, please introduce the boss?"

Qin Haoming clapped his hands and laughed, and at the same time knew how to let Yan Jizu continue to stay in Shandong.

"The old man will write a letter to General Qin tomorrow, General Qin will take a look at it first?

The old nephew's name is Chu Duyu, and the Chu family has a lot of roots in Haicheng, Zhangzhou, which should be helpful to General Qin. ”

Yan Jizu's face was quite flat, but there was a little arrogance in his words, it seems that his nephew can be used, otherwise it would not be so.

"Dazan, I will also introduce a young man to Lord Yan!"

Qin Haoming said to Yan Jizu with a smile.
