Chapter 845: Promotions of Officials

Zhang Keda stayed at the Dagukou shipyard for three days, discussed with Shen Tingyang, Huang Binqing and others about the construction schedule of the ten Daifuku-class warships and other specific matters, and then rushed back to Tianjin with the congregation.

Because, as one of the five military governors, the Navy Governor's Office, according to the order of Emperor Chongzhen, was officially set up in Tianjin Mansion.

In the mind of the current Emperor Chongzhen, as the chief of the Ming Navy, the naval governor's office must be located in a place with a harbor.

The location in Beijing is certainly convenient for the control of the emperor, the military aircraft department and the military department, but it is far away from the coast, but it will also bring a lot of trouble to the civilian and military generals of the naval governor's office to command, dispatch and integrate the current various naval divisions.

The most important thing is that the establishment of the Naval Governor's Office in the coastal areas is more conducive to the formation of a strategic thinking oriented to the sea by these civilian and military generals who command the fleets of various naval divisions of the Navy.

After inspecting the Dagukou Shipyard, Zhang Keda hurried to Tianjin, and together with Ning Yuanbo, Li Zunzu, the governor of the right capital, and others, who were already waiting there, they prepared to build the Yamen of the Naval Governor's Mansion.

As for the left guard of the Naval Governor's Office, it was concurrently served by Liang Tingdong, the governor of Zhili, who moved to Tianjin.

Its right protector is planned to be Mao Weizhang, the guardian of Dongjiang Town, the town guard of Yingzhou Town.

It's just that Mao Weizhang himself is still busy in Yingzhou Town Guard's Mansion to dispatch the major affairs of supporting his sailors to march into Tsushima Island, and has not yet received the will of Emperor Chongzhen to transfer him as the right protector of the Navy Governor's Mansion.

In addition, the candidate to replace Zhang Keda as the chief military officer of Denglai is Qu Chengen, the general of the left general of Dongjiang Town, who has been in contact with Denglai Town.

Qu Chengen was not only familiar with the affairs of Korea and Liaodong, but also familiar with the naval divisions fighting on the Liaohai Sea in Denglai.

As soon as such a candidate was recommended by the Ministry of War, Emperor Chongzhen immediately agreed.

As for Qu Chengen's position as the chief soldier of the left side of Dongjiang Town, he was also taken over by Shen Shikui, another veteran of Dongjiang Town, in accordance with the recommendation of the Ministry of War.

The two positions on Mao Weizhang's body, the Imperial History of the Dongjiang Town Supervisor and the Guardian of the Yingzhou Town Guard, were respectively taken over by Lu Daqi, a scholar in the cabinet, and Chen Jisheng, the deputy commander of Dongjiang Town.

Needless to say, Lu Daqi was admitted to the Jinshi with Shi Kefa, Zhang Pu, Xia Yunyi, Niu Juming, Li Xin and others, and then was selected into the cabinet as a member of the Chinese Scholar's Department.

Now Shi Kefa, Zhang Pu, Xia Yunyi, Niu Juming, and Li Xin are all soaring and prosperous, and they have been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, and he is still conscientiously following the emperor in his old position in the old place, and it is indeed time for him to take up a foreign post.

For the role of supervising the imperial history of the army, Emperor Chongzhen values loyalty the most, loyalty to himself or to the imperial court, as for whether he has military ability, it is secondary.

Especially in Dongjiang Town, what is needed is a person who understands and understands the overall situation of the relationship between Liaodong and Korea and the Ming Dynasty.

And Lu Daqi, who has been serving in the center of the cabinet, may lack experience in actual government affairs, but he is higher than ordinary people in the overall situation of the imperial court, especially when he stays by the side of the cabinet ministers and the emperor every day, and knows the emperor's ideas very well, so it is also appropriate for him to go to Dongjiang Town to replace Mao Weizhang's superintendent of the imperial history.

Mao Weizhang has been in Dongjiang Town for so many years, and it cannot be said that he has no credit, at least he has made great contributions to the issue of taking Yingzhou Island.

Moreover, in the past two years or so, more than 100,000 people have migrated to the island from the direction of Dongjiang, Denglai, Zhejiang, etc., and resettled more than 100,000 refugees and refugees of various kinds, turning the jurisdiction of Yingzhou Town into a rich land that can be self-sufficient in food and can also export more than 2,000 war horses a year.

That's definitely a big deal.

However, there is nothing to say about the responsibility of the imperial history of the Dongjiang Town Supervisor.

Although most people can't go with Mao Wenlong, Mao Weizhang, the imperial history of the supervising army, simply retreats to Yingzhou Island, but he seems a little powerless.

Although this made Yingzhou Island a success, it also prevented him from really breaking into the core decision-making level of Dongjiang Town.

Except for Chen Jisheng and Kong Youde, who followed him to open up the Yingzhou Town Guard's Mansion, they were branded by him and escaped from Mao Wenlong's control, the other generals of Dongjiang Town, Mao Weizhang, who lived far away on Yingzhou Island, was beyond his reach and had no influence.

Of course, no one is perfect, and Emperor Chongzhen will not treat meritorious officials because of this deficiency.

Now let him be promoted to the right protector of the Navy Governor's Mansion in just three years, which can be regarded as a compensation.

As for Chen Jisheng, there is no need to say more, in terms of his historical performance, the position of Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion was handed over to him, and Emperor Chongzhen was absolutely relieved.

Moreover, Zhang Keda, the left governor, arranged the construction of naval warships, hurried back to Tianjin, and began to prepare for the construction of the naval governor's yamen.

The Governor's Mansion of the Guards Army, the left governor of the first town of the Guards Army, Wuding Bo Ma Shilong, the right governor of the 3,000 battalions of the Beijing Division, Hui'anbo Zhang Qingzhen, the left protector of the Shanxi Governor Zhang Xiao, and the right protector of the former Beijing Battalion Supervisor Yu Shi Wen Zhenmeng.

After the departure of Wuding Bo Ma Shilong, the position of the commander of the first town of the Guards Army was promoted by You Shilu, the left deputy commander of the first town of the Guards.

Zhang Xiao's post of governor of Shanxi after leaving Taiyuan was promoted on the spot by Zhang Zongheng, the Shanxi envoy who had made meritorious contributions to the suppression of thieves.

At the same time, Zhang Zongheng's post of Shanxi envoy was promoted from Zhejiang to Ling Mengchu, deputy military envoy of Zhejiang's envoy department, who had meritorious service in suppressing thieves.

The promotion of officials under the hierarchy is like this, and the promotion of one person often means a series of personnel changes.

Unlike the left and right governors and left and right guards in the Guards Governor's Mansion, the left and right governors and left and right guards of the Border Guards Governor's Mansion really made Emperor Chongzhen weigh it for a long time.

After all, the Guards are a new army, and there are not many people who have held high positions in them, and they are close to the Beijing Division, so it is relatively easy to choose the candidates for the left and right governors.

However, it is not easy to choose the Governor's Office of the Border Guards, because according to the new Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Governor's Office of the Border Guards is responsible for the command and management of the towns on the nine borders of the north and the capital guards in various places along the northern border.

In other words, the hundreds of thousands of border troops under the control of the Governor's Mansion of the Border Guards are definitely the most important of all the officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of merit, the commander of Liaodong Town, Man Gui, is qualified, and the commander of Dongjiang Town, Anton Hou Mao Wenlong, is also qualified.

But these two people, one in Liaoxi and the other in Korea, are the two iron fists of the Jin State after the capture of the East and West, and neither of them can be easily moved.

The rest of the other nine-sided generals are better than Jingyuan Bo Zhao, the chief military officer of Shanhai Town, and their qualifications are enough, as well as Shijue, and the conditions are very suitable.

It's a pity that now he is fighting in the northwest with men and horses, and such a figure is transferred back to the yamen of the Beijing Governor's Mansion, which is somewhat wasteful.

Similar to Zhao Shujiao, there are people with similar qualifications who can serve the public, and there is another person, that is, Wuchuan Bozu Dashou who moved to Guihua City with the main force of the border army of Datong Town.

However, Zu Dashou has just moved to Naturalization City with the main force of the original border army of Datong Town, and it is not appropriate to transfer him out of Naturalization.

In addition, there is also You Shiwei, the general who moved to defend Rehe, although he was strongly recommended by Sun Chengzong, the minister of military aircraft, but the emperor did not choose him.

First, this time he didn't have enough credit, and second, You Shilu was his younger brother, and the two brothers were promoted together, which was a bit too much.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and the position of the governor of the border army and the left governor of the palace still chose the general of Xuanfu Town, the general of Zhenshuo, Yin Hou Shilu.

This Hou Shilu has the same characteristics as Zhang Keda, he is not the most outstanding, but he is very loyal and reliable.

After the left governor of the border guard military governor's office was decided, the rest was easy to do, the right governor was reappointed from the former rear army governor's office, the left governor Guangningbo Liu Sien was reappointed, the left protector was transferred from Gansu governor Mei Zhihuan, and the right protector army was appointed by Zheng Chongjian, the left governor of Shaanxi.

The position of the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town left by Hou Shilu was promoted by Deng Zuyu, the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu Town.

And Mei Zhihuan's position as governor of Gansu can only be vacant for the time being.

Because at this time, except for a few important fortified cities such as Lanzhou, the whole of Gansu was in chaos, and Ganzhou, where Mei Zhihuan's governor Yamen was stationed, was also occupied by the Musu barbarian army under Mi Layin.

At this time, Mei Zhihuan, as the governor of Gansu, had nowhere to go, no people to manage, and no government to manage, so he could only lead the army with Zhang Jiamo, the chief soldier of Gansu, to follow Yuan Chonghuan's left and right, and together to encircle and drive the Musu barbarian army and people westward.

Under such circumstances, it is useless to let him stay in Gansu, it is better to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Border Army to be a protector, at least he has been in the Northwest for many years, and he still has a good understanding of the Northwest Frontier Army and the complex situation in the Northwest Frontier.
