Chapter 506: Squire
Mobile reading
After Jia Yidao told him again, Zhang Shu, Yu Jie, and the others quickly left in a hurry. Pinshu.com
When the army set out, there were too many things to prepare, not to mention a military operation like Jia Yidao.
Zhang Shu, Yu Jie, and Xu Kai led the troops to Lianzhou first, and Jia Rudao only gave one day to open, and one day, the heavy grain, grass, ordnance, etc. had to be prepared, which was a huge project in itself. This is also one of the reasons why Jia Rudao wanted to send Shi Chun, Shui, Yao Xing, Jian Fangda and other people who originally belonged to the two commanders to the two armies.
After all, Shi Chun, Jian Fangda and others are all local snakes, put them all in the army, and if they win, they will all have merit, and no one will be able to run away if they lose. And Zhang Shu and the others are obviously Gasdu's henchmen, whether they are convinced or not, they are really defeated, before the court receives the news to clean him up, he has enough time to clean up Shi Chun and the others first.
I think Shi Chun and the others also know this.
Fortunately, Cao Si has now been merged into the Yamen of the General Department of the City, with Yu Ci, Zhou Tan and others watching, and then with the help of Cao Si and Cangsi, according to the bloated and huge bureaucratic system of Guangdong Road today, under the condition that Jia Rudao gave a death order, I want to prepare the grain, grass, baggage and ordnance of the 20,000 army, although it may be a little difficult, but it is not absolutely impossible to complete.
At least Jia Yidao has not heard anyone say that the grain, grass, baggage, and heavy ordnance cannot be prepared to be completed, and even Shi Chun and others have no objections, obviously these local snakes are the most aware of the situation of these armaments and materials in Guangdong.
Let's hope everything goes well.
Jia Rudao got up and prepared to go to the back house to see Xu Ruoxi.
Pregnant for October, also these days to give birth. These days, except for Liu Ru, who has a very cold nature, who has to go out every day because she is busy with the residence of her own people, Shi Zhenxiang and Huang Jiaoniang can be said to be inseparable from Xu Ruoxi. Even Jia Rudao went to see it twice and was kicked out, saying that it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room.
Just out of the study, I saw Zhao Yi coming in a hurry.
Jia Rudao stopped, could it be that he really responded to the unfavorable words of the passing year?
"Your Excellency."
"What's wrong?"
"Dozens of squires from Guangzhou City went to the prefect's mansion to petition and asked Lord Ding to give an explanation."
"Petition? Hand over? What to petition for? Explain what? ”
Jia Rudao frowned slightly.
He knew very well that these squires, if they were just themselves, were nothing, but how could these squires only represent themselves? Each of them has a clan behind them.
Nowadays, the clan power in Lingnan and other places can be said to be extremely huge, and in some places it has even exceeded the influence of the government. In many places, officials are even from wealthy local families.
Shi Chun, Jian Fangda and others can be said to be typical representatives of the clan forces in the east and west of Guangnan.
Behind each of the six generals of Shuaisi is a clan that is not weak in the local area, and the six of them are the spokesmen of this clan in the official face. If it weren't for Jia Rudao who first pinched the death hole of Shi Chun and the others, and had enough strength to suppress everyone, it would definitely not be so easy to make Shi Chun and Jian Fangda and others obedient.
Zhao Yun transferred the original Jingjiang prefect Qinhai back to Lin'an as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and vacated the position to Hong Hao.
Qinhai is a distant relative of Zhao Depu, the king of Heiyi, and he has served in Jingjiang Mansion for more than ten years, which can be regarded as a trace of officialdom, in order to make Zhao Depu agree to transfer Qinhai away, Zhao Yun and Shi Songzhi have paid a lot of price, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, although Qinhai is only a deputy envoy when he enters the Privy Council, and he is also one of the four deputy envoys, but for the clan, it is also a great victory, after all, the hand of the clan can finally reach out to the military.
Although Qinhai is gone, Jingjiang Mansion, which he has operated for more than ten years, still leaves Hong Hao with a lot of trouble. Not long ago, Hong Hao's letter was still mentioning that the wealthy squire clans in Jingjiang Mansion hindered him everywhere, although it has not yet reached the point where the government decree cannot go out, but in Jia Rudao's thinking, it is not far behind.
Hong Hao is not like Ding Daquan, there is Jia Nidao, the ancestor by his side, in addition to the dozens of personal soldiers given by Jia Nidao, the real one is a lonely man who went to Jingjiang Mansion.
can make the decree of the prefect of the government unable to go out, which shows how huge the clan power in various parts of Lingnan is.
For example, the prefects of Yingde, Zhaoqing, Deqing, Qingyuan and other places are basically the top local wealthy squires.
The squires relied on the large clan power in the local area to support their spokesmen, and their spokesmen served their clans in all aspects. The interdependence between the two sides is somewhat like a collusion between officials and businessmen, but the collusion between ordinary officials and businessmen is much stronger. After all, their spokesmen are themselves people in their own clans, and they are all extremely talented people.
Such a deformed relationship has also directly affected the officialdom in various parts of Lingnan.
Looking at the officialdom in various parts of Lingnan, you can know that those who have been prefects for a short time, such as Su Xuan, the prefect of Zhaoqing, and Fei Shan, the prefect of Deqing, have been in the prefect for five or six years, and Wei Yidong, the prefect of Yingde, has been the prefect of Yingde for eight years, and Yu Haoyi, the prefect of Qingyuan, has been the prefect of Qingyuan for 12 years.
Speaking closer, Qin Hai, who was squeezed away by Hong Hao, although he was an outsider, also stayed in the Jingjiang prefect for ten years.
Such a phenomenon is obviously contrary to the rule of the local officials of the imperial court for three years.
The Manchu Dynasty military including the officials and even Zhao Yun, who doesn't know such a situation in Lingnan? Apparently they all know.
But even if he knew, there was no change, and the reason for this was precisely because of the influence of clan forces in various parts of Lingnan. In the face of the squeeze and constraints of the local clan forces, the officials who are transferred abroad should not talk about their political achievements when facing the annual school examination of the Ministry of Officials, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even think of some chaos.
In this way, after the official examination, let alone being promoted, even the black yarn may not be able to keep it.
This has also directly caused that, basically except for the local scholars in Lingnan who can sit in official positions with the support of their own clans, outsiders would rather wait to fill the vacancies all the time, but they are not willing to go to Lingnan to become officials.
Jia Rudao has been busy integrating the affairs of the Yamen, Caosi and Shuai Si of the General Department of the City and the General Department of the City during these days, and has not had time to deal with the local squire forces in Lingnan, especially in Guangzhou, of course, the clan forces represented by Shi Chun, Shui, Yao Xing and others are another story.
If you want to do something in Guangdong, it is completely impossible not to deal with the clan forces represented by the squires in various parts of Guangdong. After all, these squires, all their clans together control almost seventy to eighty percent of the fertile land in the whole of Guangdong. It also controls nearly 50% of the commerce and trade in Guangdong.
If he could not reach cooperation with those squires or reach a consensus to gain their support, Jia Rudao, the pacification envoy of Guangdong, would not be as difficult as those magistrates, but he would definitely not be too happy. Unless he wants to use thunder means. But if you do that, Guangdong will be in chaos, which is not in the interests of Jia Yidao.
"Please send troops to exterminate the mob, saying that the Manichaean rebellion is about to reach the city of Guangzhou, and ask the prefect how to resist the enemy. By the way......"
"By the way, let's see if we have any oil on the soles of our feet and leave them on the road, shall we?"
Jia Yidao took Zhao Yi's words and said with a smile.
Zhao Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't dare to continue answering.
"I was expecting to meet these squires in a few days, but today they took the initiative to find the door. But looking for the prefect's yamen, it seems that Ziwan is too gentle to deal with them these days? I'm afraid that looking for the prefect's yamen is secondary, and wanting to see me is the real purpose.
Isn't this rumor just spreading? Did these squires get the news so quickly and all come together? Or do I have to look for the news they received? If not, could it be that he had been staying in Guangzhou City before, and he had already thought of finding a reason to meet me? ”
Jia Rudao thought about it and said to himself.
Who doesn't know that Ding Daquan is Jia Yidao's number one henchman? Who doesn't know that the Guangzhou Prefect's Yamen and the Guangdong Pacification Embassy are actually only one street apart?
Dozens of squires came together, so loud, how could the pacification envoy across the street not hear the movement?
Of course, if they received these rumors early and then got together, it is possible, but it is not very likely. The only possibility is that the new pacification envoy has been here for a few months, and he has not expressed his concern to them, the squires who have huge potential power in various parts of Guangdong, which makes these squires dissatisfied.
I'm afraid that after today, even if there is no matter of Lianzhou and Wuping, even if there is no Manichaean mob about to attack the city of Guangzhou, these squires will still find other excuses to come to the prefect's yamen to make a statement.
"Let's go, I'll meet the squires myself."
"Adult ......"
Hearing Jia Yidao's words, Zhao Yi suddenly became anxious.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord, now the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and a large number of Mingjiao people have infiltrated the city, even if there is a Jinyi guard yamen to search for it, it is not a moment to be able to search for it. It's too dangerous for adults to travel at this moment, why don't you summon Lord Ding and those squires to appease the embassy? ”
Zhao Yi clenched his fists and dissuaded.
"You, you. Which do you think is more difficult to guard against, Manichaeism or the plots I've encountered before? Not to mention, this is still in the city of Guangzhou. What's more, it's not the same thing to call them to come with me...... Okay, I'll go over by myself, go to the back door of the prefect's yamen, if you really don't feel at ease, go and invite Miss Liu here. ”
Jia Yidao smiled and patted Zhao Yi's shoulder and said.
