Chapter 44: Governor Ye Ming

Is it true that the last wish of the deceased old general will not be fulfilled until 148 years later? In the sunset, Lin Haijiang looked at his shadow in a daze.

Zijuan and Lily, who were standing in the outer hall, didn't dare to disturb, but they were quietly looking at the young master who felt more and more strange!

Lin Haijiang did not show up at dinner, and his reply to his parents was that he wanted to give the governor a handbook for military training, Lin Hanlin stood outside Lin Haijiang's window, looking at his son who discarded the paper from time to time, his eyes were full of love and longing.

Lin Haijiang's calligraphy can be said to be miserable, and a lot of traditional characters with a quill pen are not well written, after trying a few times, Lin Haijiang found the second account of the account room, and dictated it by himself.

The beautiful and upright fly-headed Xiaokai in the second account made Lin Haijiang very embarrassed, as a person of later generations, he couldn't even write well......

Not only that, Lin Haijiang also invited his father's Taiwan case, Mr. Qin Ming, he wanted to make up for the official system of the Qing Dynasty, at least he had to understand the Liangguang area, otherwise it would be worth the loss to make jokes.

Qin Ming pinched his goatee, drank three hundred and twenty-one catties of Longjing, enjoyed the respect of the eldest young master who was ashamed to ask, and said leisurely: "Our Qing Dynasty called the official in charge of the financial and civil affairs of a province called Fantai, also called the political envoy, generally the third grade from the second grade, with no real power, and the governor is the military and political governor of a province, and is regarded as a feudal official, from the second grade, for the highest administrative level of a province, for example, the right deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the rank of squire of the military department. Inspect local officials in the province. The provincial tariffs and government affairs are also in the hands of the governor. If there are soldiers, they will supervise the rations. Every year, the township examination is supervised by the governor, and the martial arts examination is conducted by the governor. The governors of the provinces are also like the governors, all of them have their own directly subordinate military camps, called Fubiao, and the governors have many concurrently the rank of governors, and control the general soldiers of the towns in the province. Its powers are slightly inferior to those of the governor, and provinces without governors are in charge, so the governor and the governor are both local magistrates. ”

"What about the Governor of Liangguang?" Lin Haijiang's inquiry made Qin Ming slightly stunned, in the eyes of the old man, the eldest young master must have been stupid to learn from Yangyi in England, but he could only think about it but never dared to say it, otherwise the old man who advocated sending the young master to study in England would turn his face.

Qin Ming took a sip of tea and continued: "The governors of these two provinces are not trivial, the official title is the governor of Liangguang and other places, the governor of military affairs, food and salary, and governor, and he is one of the eight highest-ranking feudal ministers of our Qing Dynasty, in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. ”

Qin Ming paused slightly and said, "Since the Qing Dynasty was redivided into twenty-three provinces by Lord Qianlong, each province has a governor who is the highest official in charge of civil affairs of a province. The power of the governor was much greater than that of the governor, but there was no direct subordinate relationship between the governor and the governor, and all the recitals were presented to the emperor by military aircraft, and the governor and the governor were directly subordinate to the emperor. The difference is that the governor can manage several provinces, focusing on the military, while the governor can only manage one province and focus on civil affairs. At present, there are eight governors in the imperial court, namely Zhili, Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Lianghu, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Liangguang, and Yunnan and Guizhou. ”

Qin Ming said this, turned his eyes to look at Lin Haijiang and said: "The eldest young master is a descendant of the superintendent, and he is a martial artist, this old man knows even less, and what the old man knows is just some miscellaneous hair outside the skin, what I said is just common sense, and the real young master has to realize it yourself!" As the saying goes, water and rice raise a hundred kinds of people, and this official is also average, and he is very happy! ”

"This tea is old and ashamed!" Qin Ming left leisurely.

Lin Haijiang only knew that Qin Ming was a high-paid Taiwanese case invited by his father, which was equivalent to a figure like a strategist, and he was originally a big man who used to be an official to the third rank, but later he was dissatisfied with what some people in the court did, abandoned the official and went away, and was almost wanted by the imperial court.

Regarding Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang who was belittled in later generations, Lin Haijiang felt that it was indeed a bit too extreme, and from some angles, Ye still had a certain ability and considerable integrity.

After Ye Mingchen was captured, the British took him to Indian Bengal, where he lived on the upper floor of Zhenhai. In his spare time, Ye Mingchen made calligraphy and painting, signed himself as Su Wu on the sea, wrote poems and saw aspirations, and recited the Lu Zu Sutra. When Ye Mingchen died in 1859 after eating the food he brought from home, he died of hunger strike in Calcutta, India, and his temperament was comparable to that of Bai Yi and Shuqi, who did not eat Zhou Su.

And Ye Mingchen is good at internal affairs, especially good at financial management, Ye's ancestor Ye Wenji, well versed in medical science, opened Ye Kaitai Chinese medicine store in Wuhan, and is a well-known local time-honored brand for treating diseases and saving people. It can be said that since the outbreak of the Taiping Rebellion in Guangxi to the Second Opium War, Guangdong has paid tens of millions of taels of silver for the already stormy Qing Dynasty, which cannot but be said to be related to Ye Mingchen's good governance of the region.

Ye Mingchen's infamy in later generations mainly comes from his super ability to suppress internal conquests, and since the first year of Xianfeng, Guangdong's public security has fallen into chaos, and the rebel army has swarmed, which is related to the background of the times and the tradition of the Tiandihui in the coastal areas. In the famous Hongbing Rebellion in Guangdong in the fourth year of Xianfeng, Guangzhou only had 15,000 soldiers, but actually resisted the attack of 200,000 people, held the city of Guangzhou, and finally expelled the Hongbing from the country.

But this also made Ye Mingchen honored to become the executioner who suppressed the people's anti-imperialist and anti-feudal dynasties, and became a typical figure of negative teaching materials.

Generally speaking, Lin Haijiang believes that Ye Mingchen can be said to have won the favor of Emperor Xianfeng, and has been firmly in the position of governor of Guangdong and governor of Liangguang for nine years, and is the only local official in the same period who has served as governor for a long time and has been constantly crowned.

As a capable general of the imperial court, Ye Mingchen knows people well, is diligent in political affairs, as an executioner to suppress the rebellion, Ye Mingchen is hated and hated, and as a prisoner who has dignity and guards in a foreign land, Ye Mingchen is worthy of admiration and respect.

Therefore, Lin Haijiang still retains a respect for Ye Mingchen, and Lin Haijiang knows that if he despises a capable and capable feudal official like Ye Mingchen, then he will not be far from death, and people who regard others as fools are often the biggest fools.

The so-called predecessors are just inferior to themselves in terms of some historical trends, but when it comes to wisdom, strategy, means, and relationships, Lin Haijiang believes that Qin Ming just now can play with himself in the palm of his hand.

Early the next morning, the ambitious Lin Haijiang had just hung up a trace of fish white in the east and waited outside the Liangguang Governor's Mansion on the Governor's Yuan Street.

The generous young master Lin naturally didn't need ordinary people, and was let to the concierge by Mr. Qian, who was on duty at the door, with a cup of tea and a plate of melon seeds, which can be said to be the best treatment for the Governor of Liangguang to listen to the orders of the marquis, compared to the rest of the officials who were dumbfounded, Lin Haijiang still had a chair to settle down in.

In Lin Haijiang's memory, Ye Mingchenke was a diligent official, so he didn't worry that he would wait too long.

However, what surprised Lin Haijiang was that it was not until the third pole on the day, about half past ten in the morning, that the word came out from the inner government, this time the governor is not in good health, and he is no longer a guest, so please trust Dapeng to guard Lin Haijiang, and Lord Lin will report his hand to enter the back hall.

In the midst of an exclamation, Lin Haijiang smiled helplessly.

For this newspaper book into the back hall, Lin Haijiang was slightly stunned at first, and Mr. Qian on the side hurriedly flattered: "My garrison lord!" This is the Governor's view of you differently! Your promotion is imminent, congratulations to the next official! ”

Lin Haijiang took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and tacitly stuffed it into Mr. Qian's hand and said, "Thank you, my lord, I changed it to Brother Guangyuan Building!" ”

Well said, well said! After the two said goodbye briefly, Lin Haijiang began the so-called newspaper notebook, in fact, this newspaper notebook is to read aloud the name, place of origin, origin, and person who is being promoted on his notebook while walking all the way.

The fame of this newspaper can be said to be very big, if the two people do not match, the grade difference is not great, it means that it is to humiliate the other party, if it is the relationship between the upper and lower belongings, the difference between the grades of the two sides is huge, it is equivalent to telling everyone in disguise, this person is covered by brothers.

However, this move is the so-called trust and grace in the eyes of others, but in Lin Haijiang's eyes, it is tantamount to playing monkey.

Lin Haijiang, who entered the inner hall, picked up his official robe and knelt down with a complaint, and said in a loud voice: "The humble Lin Haijiang sees the governor and the lord. ”

Ye Mingchen, who was sitting in the center of the center, looked around at several officials on the left and right, stretched out his hand slightly, and said: "Lord Lin is also loyal to the imperial court, so don't be more polite, I have seen Lord Bai Guibai, the governor of Guangdong!" ”

Lin Haijiang hurriedly saluted an old man on the left who was so thin that he could almost blow away in a gust of wind, and Ye Mingchen continued: "This is Lord Mukdenne, the general of Guangzhou, and Lord Halde, the commander of the Guangdong Navy Division, you will have to rely on the two adults in the future, and the 1,000 soldiers this time are allocated to you by the two adults." ”

"Humble duty understands!" Lin Haijiang did another round of salute before it was finished, Lin Haijiang, who was sitting at the very end, straightened his waist slightly, he now understood why he always said that the Manchu Qing bowed his knees, it turned out that he was used to bending over......

But then the atmosphere in the room began to become weird, Lin Haijiang could obviously feel that Bai Gui, the governor of Guangdong, and Ye Mingchen were the masters who couldn't pee in a pot at all, and Bai Gui didn't seem to care much about Ye Mingchen, the favorite of the holy clothes, in his words?
