Chapter 824: Preparing to go to Nanjing in person
On the 10th day of July, Zheng Zhilong and his family all arrived in Nanjing.
Zheng Jinhong kept Zheng Zhilong in Fujian for more than ten days, mainly to stabilize the sailors under Zheng Zhilong's command, and the dispatch of sailors is not as simple as lip service, and many details need to be paid attention to.
Xu Wanghua and Zheng Kaihua arrived in Fuzhou, Fujian, brought more than 200 people, and when they were ready to go to the government offices at all levels to take up their posts, Zheng Jinhong breathed a sigh of relief, and he explained to Xu Wanghua in detail the situation of the dispatch of the sailors.
All of the more than 300 officers of the naval division under the command of Zheng Zhilong were sent to the lecture hall in Nanjing for training for three months to half a year, and at the same time, they also had to undergo the cruel training of the Zheng Jiajun, so that qualified officers could enter the sequence of the Zheng Jiajun and become officers of the Zheng Jiajun Naval Division.
This is the decision of Zheng Xunrui and Xu Wanghua, most of the officers of the Navy Division under Zheng Zhilong are pirates, these people are not afraid of death, but there is a big gap in discipline, but military discipline and military regulations are the soul of Zheng Jiajun, and unqualified people will never be able to enter Zheng Jiajun, even if you have great ability.
Liu Zeqing led 40,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army and returned to Nanjing with Zheng Zhilong and his family.
At the same time, Zheng Xunrui received a letter from Yang Yipeng, in which Yang Yipeng said that Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, would go to Nanjing in person, and when the time came, he would follow Mu Tianbo to Nanjing to meet His Royal Highness the King of Xiang.
Yang Yipeng's letter amazed Zhou Yanru and others, in just over half a year, Zheng Xunrui basically pacified the south, and the next time is to completely stabilize the south, and there are many things that need to be done. Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places need to send new governors, and need to send a large number of officials, more local officials need to come to Nanjing, enter the Guozijian training, qualified officials can continue to hold official positions, unqualified can only be eliminated.
As the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. Yang Tingshu once suggested that whether to implement the imperial examination in the south and reserve talents, he has already seen that Zheng Xunrui needs a large number of officials, after all, many trained grassroots officials of the Ming Dynasty cannot all be qualified, on the contrary, there are very few who can be sent out as officials, and many people are not suitable for the new policy at all. Rebei is those who are old, their understanding is solidified, and it is basically difficult to change, and it is impossible for these people to be sent out as officials, but they can only be allowed to go home to retire.
Talent decides everything, not only Yang Tingshu has such an opinion, but even Zhou Yanru and others are convinced. In Huguang and Sichuan, the situation is extremely complicated. But in just a year or so, it has been completely stabilized, and the new policy has been rolled out in an all-round way, which is not much different from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, which is all thanks to the government at all levels, in strict accordance with the requirements of the six ministries of Nanjing and the requirements of the governor's yamen. Just imagine, if the officials are not qualified, the governors of the six departments of Nanjing and the provinces will be helpless even if they are immortals.
By now, Zhou Yanru, Yang Tingshu and others have finally accepted and convinced Zheng Xunrui's order. That is, the chief officials at all levels, including the prefect and the county, go to the Guozijian in Nanjing at least every year to participate in the training for about ten days, and when these chief officials participate in the training, they need to talk about their experience in local politics and how to maintain local stability, and all these reported matters will be recorded in detail, including the documents they wrote, and then the doctors of the Five Classics, teaching assistants, Xuezheng, Xuelu, etc. will be jointly compiled by the doctors of the Five Classics, teaching assistants, Xuezheng, Xuelu, etc., and the things compiled are the ready-made teaching materials of Guozijian.
Needless to say, the role of the textbook is much stronger than that of the Four Books and the Five Classics.
Zheng Xunrui met with Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Sen and others at the military headquarters in Nanjing.
Zheng Zhilong was appointed as the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, while Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen entered the Guozijian to study, and after the half-year study was over, they were arranged for positions.
Such an arrangement is very clear, although Zheng Zhilong is appointed as the right attendant of the military department, in fact, he is hanging a position, and he will not do anything specifically, he has experienced so many things, Zheng Zhilong cannot do things with peace of mind in a short period of time, and how to do things, Zheng Zhilong does not know, so he simply recuperates at home.
Zheng Zhilong's mansion is arranged in Xizhi Street in Nanjing, and the mansion is very large, covering an area of nearly 100 acres.
It is very good to have such a mansion in Nanjing.
Zheng Zhilong is very satisfied, showing an attitude of being at ease with the situation, in Fujian for more than ten days, he can be regarded as really seeing the strength of the Zheng family, the Zheng family army soldiers have to train every day, wind and rain have to insist, and the training project is very harsh, jaw-dropping, Zheng Zhilong thinks that the sergeants under his command can't do this at all.
Zheng Jiajun's strict discipline made Zheng Zhilong even more impressed, after so many years, Zheng Zhilong has never seen such a well-disciplined army, no wonder Zheng Jiajun is extremely strong.
Defeated under the command of Zheng Jiajun, Zheng Zhilong was finally convinced.
Zheng Zhilong consciously took out most of the gold and silver treasures in the mansion, and left about three million taels of silver for his own use, as a family, with this silver is enough.
The handover was done very well, more than 300 officers under Zheng Zhilong's command entered the lecture hall in Nanjing for training, Zheng Zhilong was very supportive, he knew very well that if these officers under his command could not be trained well, they would not be able to gain a foothold in the Zheng family army in the future.
Zheng Sen's performance made Zheng Zhilong even more pleased, in just over ten days, the secretary of the Nanjing Criminal Department and the general army of the Zheng family army admired Zheng Sen very much, and once specially introduced Zheng Sen to Xu Wanghua, who was also the governor of Fujian with the secretary of the Nanjing household department.
Being able to become the Shangshu of Nanjing Sixth Department is definitely Zheng Xunrui's confidant, and Zheng Sen can be appreciated by them, and his future prospects are indispensable.
Zheng Zhilong is forty years old, it is the time when he is in the prime of life, but after experiencing too many things, he also came up with the idea of resting, to say that Zheng Zhilong was originally a very strong person, and he would not admit defeat under normal circumstances, but it is a pity that he saw the strong Zheng Jiajun, thinking about his lifelong struggle, the gap with others is too far, and he can't catch up with his desperate efforts, so he is a little disheartened.
This is probably the usual fault of strong people.
After settling Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Xunrui was ready to welcome Mu Tianbo's arrival.
He was going to send an envoy to Yunnan to see what Mu Tianbo meant, the situation in Yunnan is a bit special, there are too many toasts, blindly using the method of forced pressure and conquest, the effect is not necessarily very good, the Mu family has been operating in Yunnan for hundreds of years, has a deep foundation, and in the future to govern Yunnan, it also needs to get Mu Tianbo's assistance, so as to be able to truly stabilize this place in Yunnan.
Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou and other places also need to be considered, these places only have the army of the guard, there are no particularly strong figures, there is no particularly strong army, after Liu Zeqing returned to Nanjing, Zheng Xunrui has issued an order, asking him to rest for a month, lead the army to attack Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou and other places, this time to subdue the army of the guard in these places, try to avoid large-scale fighting.
Zheng Xunrui has already thought about the candidates for the governors of many places.
Huang Huixu, Governor of Guangdong, Li Changshun, Governor of Guangxi, Li Panlong, Governor of Guizhou, and Ma Kuifeng, Governor of Yunnan.
Among these four people, Huang Huixu, Li Changshun and Li Panlong were the first to follow Zheng Xunrui, when Zheng Xunrui was still the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, Huang Xuhui was the prefect of Yanzhou, Li Changshun was the prefect of Jiazhou, Li Panlong was the prefect of Qingjian County, and Ma Kuifeng used to be the magistrate of Shangyuan County, and he took refuge in Zheng Xunrui very early.
In terms of talents, Zheng Xunrui is indeed lacking, now Nanjing is the busiest is Guozijian, to undertake the task of training officials, there is almost no time to rest, a steady stream of officials sent here, training can only be taken after passing the training, and the current Fuzhou County Chief, also to come here for training, Zheng Xunrui also plans to let Tongzhi, Tongju, County Cheng, Zhu Bo and other officials also participate in the training, but it is really impossible to arrange at present.
Everything will have to wait until the time is ripe, and training is necessary, and only in this way can basically qualified officials be trained.
If the new policy wants to be rolled out in an all-round way, and after taking control of the world in the future, it wants to change many stereotypes and bad habits, and the way that can be relied on at present is to increase the intensity of training.
Of course, the system is used to act as government affairs and affairs, which is a higher requirement, and it cannot be forced at present.
In late July, Yang Yipeng wrote again, Mu Tianbo had set off from Yunnan in mid-July to Nanjing, and it would take about ten to fifteen days on the road, and it was estimated that Mu Tianbo's arrival time in Nanjing should be in early August.
Seeing Yang Yipeng's letter, Zheng Xunrui smiled slightly, he had already obtained information from the Investigation Bureau, Mu Tianbo set off from Yunnan and brought a lot of gifts, including some gold and silver treasures and local products in Yunnan.
It seems that Mu Tianbo came to Nanjing with the intention of being able to talk about some conditions, at least to strive for a situation that is very beneficial to himself.
It's normal for everyone to want to get the most out of it.
After Zheng Xunrui and Zhou Yanru and others discussed, he made a decision, he only met Mu Tianbo after he arrived in Nanjing, and the next matter was handed over to Zhou Yanru, Wen Zhenheng and Yang Tingshu and others to deal with, Mu Tianbo's reasonable conditions were acceptable, and unreasonable conditions were rejected without hesitation.
The reason why Zheng Xunrui arranged it this way was because Mu Tianbo was accompanied by Yang Yipeng.
Yang Yipeng's attitude has long been clear, that is, he wants to stay in Nanjing to do things, of course, Zheng Xunrui has already thought of a position for Yang Yipeng, serving as the left waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, assisting Yang Tingshu in doing things, Yang Yipeng has the ability, he has been the governor of Caoyun, and he is qualified for this position.
