Chen Di found Tang Shunzhi.
Chen Di first asked about the expansion of the Flying Tiger Army: "Teacher, is the expansion of the Flying Tiger Army going well?" β
Tang Shunzhi said: "Everything is easy when you have money! Nine thousand recruits have been recruited, and Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are stepping up their training. Butγγγγγγ β
The Flying Tiger Army is Chen Di's baby bump. Hearing Tang Shunzhi say the word "but", Chen Di asked anxiously: "But what?" β
Tang Shunzhi said: "But the fire gun is not enough!" Although in the last battle of Beipo Town, we captured 300 firearms of the Japanese Bandits, but it is still not enough! In my opinion, the Flying Tiger Army should be 4,500 fire-gunners and 4,500 sword-axe men. There are still more than 3,000 firecrackers! β
Chen Di nodded: "Firearms are not something that can be bought with money. Allow me to figure it out. Inviting the teacher this time is a big thing for you to do. β
Tang Shunzhi is an extremely smart person: "What did the adults say about the abolition of the Zhejiang Weisuo Army?" Zhejiang's Weisu army has long been rotten to the roots! It's long overdue! β
Chen Di nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what happened!" Zhejiang's Weisu army should have seventy or eighty thousand people on the records of the military department. In fact, I estimate that there should be thirty or forty thousand. It is not easy to smash the jobs of 30,000 or 40,000 people at once. β
Tang Shunzhi said: "If it's not easy to do, you have to do it!" Zhejiang's Weisu army has no combat power, and it is empty of national funds, so it should have been eliminated a long time ago! Long pain is better than short pain, you should be ruthless to them! The guards in Zhejiang, with Taizhou Wei and Hangzhou Wei as David. Although the Taizhou guard has been reduced to a few thousand, those thousands of people can only look at the city gate! I mean all of them! Hangzhou Weima, there are also 30,000 people in the records of the military department, and I will also abolish this group of people. After the two guards are abolished, all that remains are some small guards, and things will be much easier! β
Chen Di said: "Taizhou is our own territory, and there is a Flying Tiger Army stationed there, and the guards there can't make any moths. Hangzhou Wei's side, the teacher should be careful! β
Tang Shunzhi said with a smile: "With you, Zhenhaibo, sitting in Hangzhou's political envoy Yamen, what kind of moths do the people of Hangzhou dare to make?" β
Tang Shunzhi took the order and left, and Chen Di took a sedan chair to the Yamen of the inspection envoy.
According to the inspector, Tang Xiaojiang is borrowing wine to kill his sorrows in the back office. His own lord Zhai Luan has lost power, and his position as an envoy will not be able to be kept sooner or later.
Seeing Chen Di coming, Tang Xiaojiang actually kowtowed to Chen Di!
In terms of official character, Chen Di is now the acting political envoy and is his superior. From the perspective of the backer, Chen Di's father-in-law Yan Song is now the first assistant, and there are rumors in the officialdom that the emperor intends to recruit Chen Di as a concubine. From the handle, Chen Di is holding the evidence of Tang Xiaojiang's communication!
No matter what aspect it is, Tang Xiaojiang has to kowtow to Chen Di, a fourteen-year-old boy!
Chen Di helped Tang Xiaojiang up: "Lord Tang, what are you doing here?" β
Tang Xiaojiang said frustratedly: "Alas, Zhen Haibo is an understanding person. Now that Zhai Luan has been dismissed and returned to his hometown, I, the inspector, are in danger! Maybe I'll be a grass farmer tomorrow! β
Chen Di smiled: "Where does this start?" β
Tang Xiaojiang cried: "Don't adults know? The six divisions of Kyosato are now earth-shattering! All Zhai Luan's disciples were all cleared out of key positions by Yan Shoufu. It is estimated that Yan Shoufu has cleaned up the six departments, and he will have to do something to the feudal officials of the following provinces! I, Zhai Luan's doorman, naturally want to lose my official hat! β
Chen Di sighed: "Alas, the scholar has stood out from countless moves for ten years, and the official uniform on his body was changed only after being shortlisted for the gold list. If Lord Tang really wants to be removed from his post as a citizen, it will be a pity! β
Tang Xiaojiang said: "Is there any way? Who told me to follow the wrong person? β
Chen Di poured Tang Xiaojiang a glass of wine: "What if I help you?" β
Tang Xiaojiang's eyes lit up: "Will Zhenhaibo help me?" β
Chen Di nodded: "Our time as officials in a province is not short. Since they are colleagues in a province, they should naturally help each other. β
Tang Xiaojiang was overjoyed and said: "If Zhenhai Bo can help me, I am really grateful!" β
Chen Di sighed: "But my ability is limited. You are Zhai Luan's doorman, my father-in-law wants to purge Zhai Luan's doormen among the provincial feudal officials, and your position as a procurator is second only to the governor and me, the political envoy, in the province, and my stepfather will definitely not tolerate the former Shoufu's protΓ©gΓ© to continue to be a procurator. β
Tang Xiaojiang shook his head in disappointment: "Zhenhaibo said so, it seems that my official fortune is coming to an end." β
Chen Di said: "Instead of waiting for others to take off your official hat, it is better for you to take the initiative to resign!" It looks better on the face! As I said, it is not easy for a scholar to change an official hat for ten years, and I will guarantee you to the imperial court and let you become an official in the six ministries in Nanjing. Don't worry, I can still do this! β
After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he still retained six departments in Nanjing: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. Nanjing No. 6 is not inferior to Beijing No. 6 in terms of grade, but it has no real power. The officials who were transferred to the Sixth Department of Nanjing were jokingly called pension officials.
Tang Xiaojiang heard Chen Di say that he wanted to ensure that he would be an official in the Sixth Department of Nanjing, although he was still a little disappointed in his heart. But after all, the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing are also officials of the Ming Dynasty! I won't become an unofficial and jobless grass people!
Tang Xiaojiang was grateful: "Zhenhai Bo is really my Tang someone's reborn parent!" I will give a report to the court tomorrow and ask for my resignation as an envoy in Zhejiang! β
Chen Di said: "At the same time as you resign, it is best to promote Tang Shunzhi as the successor of Zhejiang as the envoy of Zhejiang. Governor Zhao and I will also jointly sign an excerpt to promote Tang Shunzhi as an envoy, and by the way, I will promote you to serve in the Sixth Department of Nanjing. β
Chen Ditie wanted to turn Zhejiang into his own land. The position is so important, Chen Di naturally doesn't want this position to fall into the hands of others. Tang Shunzhi is his own person, and he is quite talented, holding Tang Shunzhi to sit on the probation envoy, Tang Shunzhi will be able to give full play to his talents!
Tang Xiaojiang knew that it was Chen Di's condition to promote Tang Shunzhi as an envoy. He, Zhai Luan's protΓ©gΓ©, no longer has any bargaining chips to negotiate conditions with Chen Di, so he can only agree!
Chen Di comforted Tang Xiaojiang and said: "People, there are always times when you are unlucky. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. As long as you keep your official character, Lord Tang, there will still be hope for you to go out of Nanjing Sixth Department to take up a substantive position in the future! β
Tang Xiaojiang arched his hand and said: "I think of me, Tang Xiaojiang, how can I be able to get Zhen Haibo's love, I am really grateful!" Zhen Haibo helped Tang this time, if there is a chance in the future, Tang will definitely repay Zhen Haibo! β
According to the position of inspector in Zhejiang, Chen Di won it for Tang Shunzhi. What he is worried about now is whether something will go wrong with Tang Shunzhi's dismantling of the army of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Guard.
Chen Di had a heart, and he quietly wrote a warrant, asking Yu Dayou to bring five hundred Flying Tiger arms to Hangzhou. If the group of ruffians in Hangzhou Wei dare to be unfavorable to Tang Shunzhi, then don't blame him, Zhenhaibo, for making some tough moves!
