In order to facilitate the act, lest the border generals be false and wronged with each other, protect each other or shirk each other's responsibilities, appoint Wen will be the governor to supervise and command the border generals, in order to concentrate all efforts against the Mongolian cavalry, the southeast land was originally the interior of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely not a border land, and there is no reason to set up a governor, but since the beginning of Jiajing, the trouble has intensified, and the peaceful areas of the past have become war zones, so the establishment of the governor is also a last resort. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the governor of the three provinces, or the three most important and most elite provinces with the largest population in the Ming Dynasty, gave all the financial, military and political powers, not to mention that the emperor would suspect it, even the ministers would doubt it, not to mention the Kedao Yanguan, a little bit of turmoil, the impeachment chapter immediately flew to the Jiajing Emperor's table like snowflakes, and he had to kill the governor.

Zheng Guang also couldn't stop slandering, remembering that in another time and space, at the beginning, there was no governor in the southeast, that is, to raise two provinces or one province of soldiers and horses, or it was the governor, and as a result, seven or eight anti-Japanese governors were changed in fifteen years, and the end was very miserable, except for one person who went to work on the grounds of his father's death, the best fate for the rest of the people was exile, and the more chaotic the situation became, the more he was forced to set up the southeast governor, but the fate of several southeast governors was not good, all in all, in this group of anti-Japanese heroes, There was no one who died well, and Emperor Jiajing didn't believe in these courtiers.

Then I will ...... myself It's dangerous, isn't it......

Zheng Guang was worried about his stall, and Emperor Jiajing spoke again: "What Xia Ge Lao said is also reasonable, the Ming Dynasty has always set up governors in the land of nine borders, which is convenient for managing border generals, integrating forces, and avoiding shirking responsibilities between each other.

However, what Xia Ge Lao said was not unreasonable, I thought about it again and again, and decided to fulfill Xia Ge Lao's meaning, the governor of the southeast has no right to interfere in government affairs, finances and the appointment and dismissal of officials, and is in charge of commanding the army and commanding the army, and the army of the three southeastern provinces needs to obey its orders, which is related to the war situation, and wherever the governor goes, the local officials must cooperate with the governor, and must not shirk, not be false, and must not resist, if there is such a situation in wartime, the governor can urgently dismiss this person, command the battle, and after the war, the court will find out the situation, and such officials will be severely punished! In addition, I have decided to set up a grain and grass transshipment envoy who will be transferred to the southeastern governor to transport grain and grass, and mobilize grain and grass from the southeastern provinces to provide the governor's use. ”

Xia Yan has nothing to say, this is the way to ensure the safety of the governor to the greatest extent, and if he wants to decentralize power, it is estimated that he will not be able to concentrate on the enemy, so Xia Yan paused and said: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

The rest of the people waited to see that Xia Shoufu had no opinion, and they naturally had no opinion, so they spoke together: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded, and then spoke: "Then, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?" I need a seasoned and experienced governor and a capable official as a transit envoy, and another governor of Fujian. ”

Xia Yan looked at Sun Chengen and gave Sun Chengen a look, Sun Chengen understood, so he stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to recommend Zhu Kun, the current governor of Zhejiang and the military envoy of Zhejiang, to serve as the governor of the three southeastern provinces. ”

The officials on the scene began to whisper, Emperor Jiajing also frowned, Zheng Guang knew why, Yan Ne's letter before attracted the attention of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing specially inquired about the recent anti-Japanese situation in the southeast, and learned that Su Song's situation was okay, too many Japanese invaders had died before, and Zheng Guang's main force of the Black Flag Army was stationed in Susong, and now the Japanese basically did not dare to enter the range of Su Song, but this will be different, a month or two after the New Year, it was still stable before the end of March, and the Japanese invaders rose again.

And it was not to attack a big city, but to attack a small village, Zhu Su could not cope with it, and the trained firearms troops could not play a role in time, and asked Su Song to send the Black Flag Army, but the Black Flag Army was small in number and could not divide the troops to guard the villages, so it caused the Japanese to repeatedly invade small villages and slaughter villagers, and many Zhejiang people fled to the land of Su Song with their families, causing a lot of chaos, and many people impeached Zhu Kun, saying that he was derelict in his duties.

So Emperor Jiajing pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Zhu Kun is acceptable in Su Song's office, he dares to fight against the Japanese Invaders, he is a capable official, and he also has courage, but there are many mistakes in his Zhejiang office, which made the Japanese invaders wantonly slaughter the countryside and cause chaos, and I don't see what countermeasures he has to deal with properly, it can be seen that although he is talented, he is not enough to be the governor of the three provinces!" ”

Sun Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Kun does have a small fault, but as a civil minister, because of the courage of the Japanese to face the battle, he actively responded, rather than passively evaded, it is enough to see that he has enough sense of responsibility, and he has also made a lot of military achievements in his early years, and he has rich experience. ”

Emperor Jiajing also thinks that this is reasonable, the new arrangement for a person to go to the southeast to take office, or to hold such a high position, to command all the southeast troops, whether it can be recognized is still a question, the key is that once the Japanese invaders, this person does not have enough prestige to command the army to resist, causing a catastrophe, it is not beautiful, Emperor Jiajing has suffered in this regard, and knows how passive it is to play away from home.

It's just that Emperor Jiajing is really not at ease to let a person who obviously does not have higher talents do this thing.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing was so embarrassed, Xia Yan knew that Zhu Kun might not be appointed as the governor of the three provinces, even if he was forcibly appointed, it was estimated that he would not be trusted and expected by Emperor Jiajing, and he was also considering whether there was a more desirable candidate than Zhu Kun who could be appointed, and after thinking for a while, a name suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty thinks that Zhu Su is inappropriate, then can Your Majesty consider Zhang Jing, the former governor of the three sides?" Xia Yan suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned, Emperor Jiajing was also stunned, and Zheng Guang's mind suddenly appeared the appearance of the old governor who had won a great victory but was unjustly killed - Wang Jiangjing's great victory, if he had not been born out of nowhere, it would probably be the biggest victory since the Ming army fought against the Japanese in the southeast, and the stubborn and old-fashioned old governor who created all this was not only not rewarded after the victory, but also unjustly killed, the reason was that he did not please Zhao Wenhua, and was impeached by Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian, who was eager to make meritorious contributions.

Zhang Jing's resume is very beautiful, very early is one of the generals in the talent bag of the Ministry of War, Zhengde 12 years of Jinshi, the rank is not high, the first was awarded Jiaxing County, the appointment began to show their military talent, Jiajing 16 years into the right Lang of the Ministry of War, the governor of Liangguang military affairs, in order to suppress the Guangxi Datengxia Yaomin uprising meritorious service, into the military department left Shilang, soon with Mao Bowen to pacify the Annan Kingdom, into the right capital of the imperial history, and then quell Sien Jiu Tusi and Qiongzhou Li Min uprising, and then into the military department of Shangshu.

However, after that, after a series of events such as being impeached and returning to his hometown, Zhang Jing should have been used as the governor of the three sides, but at this stall he was impeached for being suspected of corruption and dereliction of duty, and the emperor canceled Zhang Jing's appointment. Exactly the right choice!

Emperor Jiajing also had an impression of Zhang Jing, when the governor of Shaanxi was first agreed, the earliest candidate was Zhang Jing, but suddenly a spokesman appeared to impeach him for embezzlement of military funds in Liangguang, according to the convention, whether there is such a thing or not, he has to take the initiative to suspend himself pending investigation, the court sent Zeng Mo to go, and then the investigation and investigation did not find anything, and it was over, now think about it, the person who impeached Zhang Jing must have ulterior motives.

But this is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure the smooth flow of speech, but also to prevent retaliation and attack that affects the speech of the official, even if the first assistant is impeached, he must take the initiative to suspend himself and hide at home to wait for the trial, and he is not allowed to go to work normally during the impeachment period, although it is an unwritten rule, but if you do not abide by it, it will still affect the identity and decency, and become the public enemy of the Taoist official, it is rare to live in peace.

Zhang Jing's resume is very beautiful, but he has not served for a long time, and whether he can really be competent remains to be discussed, Chen Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and questioned: "Zhang Jing has not held an official position for a long time, has not led troops to fight for a long time, and rashly gave him a high position, is it really appropriate?" ”

Sun Chengen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, retorted: "Zhang Jing has profound qualifications, outstanding achievements, and the ability to command the army to fight, and in the past years, he led the troops to quell the rebellion of the Tusi in Yunnan and Guangxi, and has a great reputation in the local Tusi, and the local soldiers are strong and good at fighting. ”

Xia Yan also said: "Zhang Jing has a talent for military strategy, he has commanded the army to fight, and he has many achievements, he is really the best candidate, if he does not choose Zhang Jing, there will only be Zhu Kun, Zhu Kun's qualifications are not enough, you think it is inappropriate, so who should you choose?" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Guang secretly said that it was not good in his heart, so he secretly looked at Emperor Jiajing, and sure enough, he saw Emperor Jiajing frowning slightly when he looked at Xia Yan, and suddenly said: "Weizhong, you are the second assistant, what do you think?" ”

Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that Emperor Jiajing had called him every time he had been calling him for deliberations these days, and he had called Xia Ge Lao, but he was commensurate with Yan Song, and he could see at a glance that when he was uneasy, there was still a trace of loneliness, but when he thought of the child behind him, he had an inexplicable expectation.

Yan Song lowered his head, and his voice was not loud: "The old minister thinks that Shoufu's words are right. ”
