Chapter 749: Chen Xinjia's excitement
After the decree was issued, Chen Xinjia was very excited, he was grateful to Yang Sichang from the bottom of his heart, he had been in the court for so many years, so that he was a little depressed, all parts of the Ming Dynasty were slowly developing, at this time, if he wanted to show his ability, he couldn't stay in the court, Chen Xinjia was still capable, if he could become a feudal official, he would definitely be able to make this place develop. But no matter how he thought about it, he didn't expect that he would become the governor of Liaodong.
This position is not so easy to sit on, Su Tiancheng is too good in Liaodong, after serving as the Jiliao Governor, he did not take a long time to Liaodong, and decisively recovered Dalinghe City, captured Yue Tuo and Kong Youde, you must know that this Kong Youde is a figure hated by the imperial court, and the Dengzhou and Laizhou are destroyed in the hands of this Kong Youde, the original Dengzhou was the artillery base and logistics supply base of the Ming Dynasty, because of Kong Youde's rebellion, the imperial court suffered heavy losses, and the already not rich treasury was even more stretched, So much so that the emperor took out the ginseng in the palace and sold it for silver.
Dolgon invaded Dengzhou and Laizhou, Su Tiancheng broke off the attack, attacked Montenegro, forced Huang Taiji to withdraw troops from Dengzhou, Laizhou and Mongolia, Su Tiancheng's move, Chen Xinjia is highly respected, at that time, if you reinforce Dengzhou and Laizhou, it will definitely not have much effect, the army is exhausted, and there is a possibility of encountering Dolgon's ambush, Su Tiancheng chose the sharpest offensive means, attacked Montenegro, directly threatened Shenyang, so that Huang Taiji had to make the decision to withdraw troops.
Su Tiancheng exterminated the rogues, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui and other leaders of the rogues all fell into Su Tiancheng's hands, this kind of ability is not blown out, and it is completely different from those who lie about their achievements. Chen Xinjia also heard about the bloody battle in Kuizhou City, and felt that Su Tiancheng's insight was indeed extraordinary, decisive and brave, and well-planned. It is indeed a person who does great things.
was appointed as the governor of Liaodong, Chen Xinjia was a little nervous, this time the holy decree was different from the past, the holy decree specifically said that he went to Liaodong to assist Su Tiancheng, and there was such content in the holy decree, which was originally inappropriate. But Chen Xinjia was convinced, a conceited person like him still admired him in his heart for a truly capable person, and he and Su Tiancheng could not be compared, at least at present, although Su Tiancheng was young.
Therefore, Chen Xinjia is holding the mentality of learning and obedience. Ready to take office.
However, the secret talk of the Heart Cultivation Temple. changed Chen Xinjia's mind.
Chen Xinjia, who was ecstatic, felt that he had met a great opportunity, and he couldn't imagine that his mission was different, and he could establish the merits of no one before or after, and if he did it well according to the emperor's requirements, he would be able to leave his name in history. If you can receive everyone's admiration, you will not be worse than Su Tiancheng, and even your fame will surpass Su Tiancheng's, and at that time, you will enter the cabinet. Even becoming the head of the cabinet is not an unusual thing.
In just a few days, Chen Xinjia's mentality has changed a lot, and it is still necessary to respect Su Tiancheng, but the responsibility on his shoulders is significant, and it needs to be kept absolutely confidential, after arriving in Liaodong, he needs to quickly understand the situation, really grasp the situation, and after analyzing the situation in Liaodong, he can act in accordance with the emperor's requirements.
On the fifth day of the first month of April, Chen Xinjia came to Liaodong and officially took office.
The governor's yamen is also in Ningyuan City, so Chen Xinjia first arrived in Ningyuan City.
Hong Chengchou, Xu Eryi, Qin Sande, Zu Dashou, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale and other civil and military officials are all going to visit, although Hong Chengchou is the governor of the same knowledge, the military department is still the secretary, the prince Shaobao, Xu Eryi is also the governor of Liaodong, but he is the governor of Liaodong, where his responsibilities are, except for Su Tiancheng, he is the leader of Liaodong, Hong Chengchou and others have to obey their own dispatch.
Su Tiancheng is in Dengzhou, under normal circumstances, he would not come to Liaodong, in this case, Chen Xinjia is the natural leader of Liaodong, and everything can be decided.
Just took office, Chen Xinjia is still relatively low-key, especially after seeing Hong Chengchou, Xu Eryi, Qin Sande and others, the enthusiasm makes the other party a little embarrassed.
In the middle of the very good atmosphere, Chen Xinjia unconsciously learned about the garrison situation in Liaodong, which has a total of 135,000 sergeants, including 30,000 in the Jiangning battalion, 15,000 in the Yulin battalion, and 90,000 in the border army, and 30,000 soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City and the surrounding fortresses and strongholds, including 5,000 soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, 10,000 soldiers in the Yulin battalion, 15,000 in the border army, and 25,000 troops stationed in Jinzhou, including 15,000 soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, 10,000 in the border army, and 25,000 troops stationed in NingyuanAmong them, there are 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, 5,000 soldiers of the Yulin battalion, and 10,000 border troops.
This arrangement, Chen Xinjia carefully analyzed, feel that it is very good, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou are places that need to be defended, and the troops stationed are relatively capable, especially the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion and the soldiers of the Yulin battalion, stationed here, can absolutely ensure the stability of the defense line, as for Shanhaiguan, Houjin Tartar has almost no chance to attack Shanhaiguan, and all the border troops with slightly weaker combat effectiveness can be placed.
Chen Xinjia felt that Su Tiancheng did have a set of military affairs.
Of course, Chen Xinjia's main concern was the combat effectiveness of the sergeants stationed in Liaodong, which was crucial.
In the next time, Chen Xinjia went to Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, and Shanhaiguan to inspect the situation, and he was very satisfied with the situation he saw, and the morale of the sergeants was high, and the most important thing was that from Dalinghe City to Shanhaiguan, more than 400 miles away, there were cultivated and planted cultivated land everywhere, and the seedlings in the fields were growing, which indicated that the situation in Liaodong was very stable, and the Houjin Tartars did not dare to invade at will.
Chen Xinjia is not a straw bag, he will not come to Liaodong, he will start a new stove, and ask all the sergeants to be prepared, to launch a full-scale attack against the Houjin Tartars, this is unrealistic, at least a lot of preparations, the best time for the attack is to wait for the autumn harvest, the grain in the fields will definitely be recovered, can it be left to the Houjin Tartars.
After making up his mind, Chen Xinjia began to learn more about the policies implemented by Su Tiancheng in Liaodong.
Chen Xinjia's low-key, the impression of Hong Chengchou and others is still good, at least Hong Chengchou and others are relieved, and feel that Chen Xinjia did not deliberately come to Liaodong to demean Su Tiancheng, during the conversation, Chen Xinjia revealed his admiration for Su Tiancheng all the time, so Su Tiancheng implemented a series of policies in Liaodong, Hong Chengchou and others have truthfully reported, in the process of reporting, everyone believes that these policies should continue to be adhered to, and policies are the cornerstone of Liaodong's stability.
Chen Xinjia recorded these conversations in detail, and in the dead of night, he carefully pondered the deep meaning.
Su Tiancheng opened the door to accept the Han people, Chen Xinjia is very much agreed, this is a means to effectively weaken the Houjin, the land of the Houjin projectile, what is lacking is the population, as for the agricultural tax policy implemented by Su Tiancheng in Liaodong, Chen Xinjia's heart has a different view, Liaodong is not the mainland, can not be implemented in accordance with the tax policy of the mainland, everything here is for the military deployment, all for the army, so the military household policy can still be implemented.
As for Su Tiancheng to cut off a lot of border troops, Chen Xinjia is difficult to understand, these military tunhu, are the strongest labor force, can farm in peacetime, feed the army, these people are sergeants in wartime, can go to war to kill the enemy, just like this, it's a pity, if the military tunhu exists, the strength of Liaodong can reach more than 300,000, so many troops, to deal with the Houjin Tartars, grasp a lot bigger.
Of course, Chen Xinjia also understands the combat effectiveness of the military cantonment households, and it is indeed a little weak, but the border army is still much stronger than the inland guard station, at least these military cantonment households can be trained to enhance their combat effectiveness, as long as the cultivated land is planted well and the food is guaranteed, everything is possible.
After carefully thinking about the policies implemented by Su Tiancheng in Liaodong, Chen Xinjia had a whole set of ideas of his own, some things, to continue to implement the original policies, and some things that must be adjusted.
A month after arriving in Liaodong, Chen Xinjia wrote the first secret letter, which Chen Xinjia painstakingly wrote for a long time, including an analysis of the situation in Liaodong and the situation of Liaodong's troops, a request for instructions on policy changes in Liaodong, and an analysis of the best timing.
Of course, there is also one of the most important issues in the secret fold, recommending talents.
After coming to Liaodong, Chen Xinjia and Qin Sande were relatively close, and the two quickly got into a hot fight, Qin Sande talked about a lot of situations in Liaodong, which made Chen Xinjia feel that if he did not adjust the officials, he would not be able to perform in Liaodong, and the current people, including the people in the Governor's Mansion, are loyal to Su Tiancheng, including Hong Chengchou and Xu Eryi, such a situation is definitely not good, Chen Xinjia needs to enrich the strength of the governor's yamen, weaken the strength of the governor's mansion, at least in terms of money and food, It must be under the direct jurisdiction of the governor's yamen, and should not continue to be under the jurisdiction of the governor's office.
Xu Eryi put forward a list, the content of this list is very rich, and some of the people in it have also been greeted by the cabinet, and they must be arranged.
You can't be too anxious to do things, you have to take it step by step, as long as you have a firm foothold in Liaodong, everything will be easy to do.
Therefore, Chen Xinjia did not move, the army was deployed, Hong Chengchou was still responsible, and in terms of people's livelihood, Xu Er was worried, and Chen Xinjia seemed to have nothing to do, just to act in accordance with Su Tiancheng's previous deployment. (To be continued......)
