Chapter 277: Selfish and private affairs
Hong Chengwan, twenty-four years old this year, is Hong Yanyan's second brother, in addition to Hong Chengwan, Hong Yanyan also has a younger brother named Hong Chengwan, looking back at the names of these two brothers, you will have a strange feeling...... That's right, Hong Yanyan also belongs to the Chengzi generation, and he also has a name called Hong Chengchou in the Hong family.
Hong Chengchou, he is nine years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he was born in 1693, plus his ancestral hometown is Nan'an, Fujian, and everyone should know that this Hong Chengchou is the Hong Chengchou in history, the first in the history of traitors in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the great sinner of the Han nation, the optimus jade pillar of the Manchu regime in the early Qing Dynasty, the official to the university scholar, Taifu, Taibao, young master, prince and young master, the great traitor of the ages.
As his superior, Li Zhe naturally had already obtained this information.
He never expected that the infamous super traitor who was ruined in later generations would be in his hands, and he would become the first staff member to be used by his subordinates.
This made him feel even more absurd about the world he was in.
This fully shows that the history of this world is still inexplicably related to the history he knows well in another life, although the great history of this world has completely turned into a complete fork in the road since the Hai Song Dynasty, but a certain inertia in history is still within his reach.
However, knowing that this Hong Chengchou is Bi Hong Chengchou, Li Zhe did not have any prejudice against Hong Chengchou, but gave him a special feeling of controlling history.
Hong Chengchou! Now it's under his hands.
The historical situation of this goods in another life is a tragedy, and it is widely infamous before and after his death.
But now under him Li Zhe, there is no sign of this at all, in the eyes of the officials of the Governor's Mansion, Hong Yanyan is a very good colleague, in the eyes of Li Zhe's boss, this product is a very capable subordinate, to Li Zhe to say, this guy has any shortcomings in his eyes, that is, this person is too good at judging the situation.
In other words, the appearance is relatively smooth, and with such a character, it is no wonder that he will surrender in the history of his previous life.
Therefore, in Li Zhe's eyes, this guy is a good staff, but he is not a qualified commander, he lacks the domineering spirit of a real commander on the field. Therefore, Li Zhe would never let him go out to lead the troops, so naturally this guy would not have the opportunity to surrender to others.
In fact, from the point of view of modern people in the previous life, Hong Chengchou's defeat in Songshan was not a fault, he just made the most beneficial choice for himself, and the fault was only that after he surrendered, he did too much to the Qing court, almost single-handedly stabilized the turbulent Qing court after the death of Huang Taiji and others, and completely killed the last glimmer of hope of the Han people.
The traitors are also more thorough.
Such people always have to be on guard.
Hong Chengchou didn't know that his boss had such a complicated view of him.
He is still staying in repaying Li Zhe's "kindness" wholeheartedly, hugging the thigh of his "benefactor" and climbing up fiercely.
"Cheng Wan wants to serve in front of the army?"
Hong Chengchou closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he spoke softly,
"The matter...... You can also,"
I agree with the ideas of my father and second brother.
Now in Tianzhu, everyone knows that the pre-military service is a channel for rapid rise.
You don't see the newly rising Xu Qingyuan in the navy and the Ma Zhong, Yan Guozhen, and Wang Degong in the army, and he himself is not an example, he has just entered the officialdom for less than two years, and he just followed the battle, and the military ranks of the officers are almost rolling upward.
Hong Chengchou stayed in the Governor's Mansion all day, knowing that Tianzhu had no choice now.
In the past two years, there have been too many battles, and at the same time, the army has been expanding rapidly.
At the beginning, the Japanese army, the Weiyuan army, and the two armies added up to only fifty or sixty thousand, but now it has only been less than two years, and the three military orders of the Japanese army, the Weiyuan army, and the Dangkou army are all full, and they are all five large army numbers of more than 60,000 troops, and the new army that has not yet been given a military horn is still being intensified outside Mengzhou City, and now there are more than 200,000 military orders directly under the command of the Tianzhu Imperial Court, which still does not count the navy that has become independent from the army.
The imperial army has expanded into such a state, how can the promotion of the officers in the army be unhappy?
In addition, there have been frequent wars recently, and everyone is not short of military achievements, as long as they can go to the battlefield for a few rounds, most of them will be able to take some credit. The Tianzhu strong army is now notoriously strong, and no one will think that their army will lose the battle when they go to the battlefield.
How could the children of the imperial court not sharpen their heads and squeeze into the troops?
The old man and his younger brother saw that they happened to be in the Governor's Mansion, and wanted to take this opportunity to take a ride.
This kind of thing, as the eldest in the family, Hong Chengchou naturally can't let his old father and younger brother down.
Hong Chengchou is different from others, he has no political cleanliness, he has this kind of power in his hands, and it is natural to ask his family for profit, strictly speaking, this kind of operation is not illegal in this era.
In the eyes of officials from families, this world is shared by them and the king, and they are supposed to take care of the king's political affairs.
While helping the king rule the world, he also brought the people in his family in to be officials, what is this! Do you think this is a power peddling? No, in the eyes of the officials of the family, this is called recommending talents for the king.
Only in this way can the family firmly control the power bestowed by the king and pass it on from generation to generation, continuing the prosperity of the family.
This is their greatest loyalty to the king in the eyes of the family, only when these people are stable, the country can be stable, and the position of the king will be stable.
This has been true from generation to generation, and it has been true from all dynasties to generations.
As for the "stability" of the family, it will inevitably lead to the closure of the country's upward channels, the monopoly of resources, and then cause dissatisfaction among the people, the solidification of classes, class antagonism, and the boiling of public resentment, which they do not care.
In short, the so-called social elite is like this.
Since he Hong Chengchou has climbed to this position, what do he have for some "small benefits"? The key is to understand the meaning and not to violate the taboo.
Once his second brother Chengwan's position in the army is stable, he can also share the worries of his family, so maybe he can contribute to him Hong Chengchou in the future? The so-called father and son soldiers fight tiger brothers, that's it!
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou began to think carefully about how to plan this matter.
