Chapter 206: Chain Reaction 7
Qi Yuanbiao's construction is very "insightful" in Yao Zongwen's view. On the bright side, that's not a problem.
However, there is a deep-seated reason for Qi Yuanbiao's proposal to let the 1,000 "model soldiers" who have just been selected follow the investigation team. He didn't really mean anything.
Why do we always say that the interpersonal relationship problem in feudal society is very big? The reason lies in the fact that in feudal society, limited by the level of development of productive forces, and under the condition that the external conditions are solidified, people in feudal society can easily fall into the shackles of internal struggle and consumption.
For example, Qi Yuanbiao was originally the commander of Yao Zongwen's direct army. However, because of the concept of military selection, there was a conflict between Qi Yuanbiao and his boss Yao Zongwen, which made Chen Jianye, who was in the secondary position of military attaché, see an opportunity.
The reason why Qi Yuanbiao was taken away by Yao Zongwen was inseparable from Chen Jianye's instigation.
Qi Yuanbiao is in Jingwei, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing. Although Qi Yuanbiao himself doesn't like this kind of dirtiness, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the trickiness in it. Therefore, Qi Yuanbiao quickly discovered Chen Jianye's role in this matter from the clues.
For this Chen Jianye, Qi Yuanbiao looked down on him quite a lot. The reason is nothing else. This Chen Jianye was originally the nephew of a master of ceremonies during the Wanli period. Because his cultural level is very limited, even if his uncle is one of the top power figures in the Ming Dynasty, but because of his own conditions, there is really no way to arrange a good errand for him.
Many modern people feel that cheating in various exams in modern society is very strict. The fact is that in ancient society, whether it was the civil official imperial examination as a national talent selection ceremony, or the military examination responsible for the selection of military generals, all kinds of fraud in the two were very common.
Many second-generation officials and third-generation officials relied on their fathers or grandfathers to be admitted to the champion or jinshi, and this kind of thing is endless in feudal society. Rather, feudalism is more decadent and backward than capitalism. The second and third generations of officials, plus interest groups, these things are actually manifestations of feudalism raging in China.
Chen Jianye is a typical second-generation official, and he is still a second-generation official (eunuch).
The bigwigs of the inner court do not pay as much attention to false fame as the civil official group as foreign officials, and like to do things like to be bitches and set up archways. Therefore, they have no bottom line when they start to do things. Because Chen Jianye is really unable to handle it culturally, it is difficult to write his own name, and he is completely insulated from the civil and official imperial examination. Therefore, his uncle, the great eunuch, arranged him in the martial arts examination.
The martial arts examination of the Ming Dynasty not only examines the candidate's personal martial arts, but also examines the candidate's ability to strategize the art of war. As a result, this Chen Jianye not only relied on the gunman to pass the strategy exam, but also asked someone to take the exam on his behalf in the assessment of his personal martial arts. As a result, this matter has become a common scandal in the Jingshi society, whether it is officialdom or the people.
Qi Yuanbiao was in Jingwei and had long heard of this person's name. Originally, I thought that these people should be more weak-minded and should be more low-key in dealing with the world. I didn't expect this straw bale to dare to dig into his corner and rob him of his opportunity. Naturally, Qi Yuanbiao was going to use his influence in Yao Zongwen to clean up this straw bag through Guò Yangmou.
Qi Yuanbiao has never led soldiers, this is a fact. However, Qi Yuanbiao, who has been mixed in the Jingwei for more than ten years, knows both from military books and in practice that leading soldiers is not a simple matter.
Although it is only a distance of more than 400 miles from Xiangyang to Jingzhou. However, it is completely impossible for more than a thousand recruits, who have not undergone any training and have no experience, to complete the march of four hundred miles.
Qi Yuanbiao knew that Chen Jianye might not have any skills in governing and leading the army except for the officialdom fighting techniques he and his eunuch uncle had learned. This person has always been the head of the logistics department in Jingweili. How to deduct food and salary, how to resell military uniforms and ordnance, Chen Jianye is naturally very good. When it comes to marching and fighting, this straw bag must be blinded.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Qi Yuanbiao gave Yao Zongwen such an idea to test the ability of recruits to march. This kind of dignified conspiracy, Chen Jianye really can't refuse.
What's more, Qi Yuanbiao has given up the power to pay the soldiers and the power to lead the troops to Chen Jianye. He himself wants to stay in Xiangyang as an otaku. Anyway, no matter what kind of mistakes go wrong in this operation, it has nothing to do with him, the leader of the military attache who has now been seized power.
Qi Yuanbiao's deeper purpose is to educate his boss Yao Zongwen with the failure of facts. The so-called not listening to good people suffers in front of you. Qi Yuanbiao knew that his boss, who was not familiar with military affairs, would not have fully adopted his own ideas if he had not learned the lessons of failure. In that case, let failure educate him.
Chen Jianye, how to say it, in a sense, this gentleman is a relatively righteous person.
For his colleagues, he is able to achieve a balance of interests. No matter who became the chief officer in charge of Jingwei logistics, he, the second officer of the logistics department, would be able to pull him into the water. Whether it is his superiors or his subordinates, they can eat meat and drink soup in Chen Jianye's black trade of reselling Jingwei materials.
Naturally, Chen Jianye didn't even need to use his uncle's power to get a good reputation of "timely rain" in Jingwei.
Chen Jianye is actually his uncle's heir. Because one of his three sons passed on to his uncle as a grandson. Therefore, the millions of family assets that his uncle has saved in the past ten years as a boss in the master of ceremonies are actually his.
He became a military attache in charge of logistics in Jingweili, and his annual black income was also innumerable. Therefore, Chen Jianye has always been generous in spending money. He was very fond of throwing money around and helping people. This characteristic of his has allowed him to accumulate a very good reputation in Jingwei.
Last year, Uncle Chen Jianye passed away. Chen Jianye, who lost his backer, didn't get along in Jingwei for this reason. Because of his "good reputation" in Jingwei, he was taken by the newly appointed Wei Zhongxian's minion, the eunuch Wang Tiqian.
It was because of Wang Tiqian's recommendation that Chen Jianye, who was "quite methodical" (Wang Tiqian's words) in terms of logistics, was arranged by Wei Zhongxian into the Huguang military attache system.
It's not the same as a pure nerd military attache like Qi Yuanbiao. Chen Jianye's personal style is very global. On the way from Beijing to Huguang, he and Yao Zongwen's civil and military staff were hot.
Chen Jianye also has his personal pursuits. It was his goal to compete with Qi Yuanbiao, who was deeply valued by Yao Zongwen, for the position of the leader of the military attaché, and finally become the first military attache in Huguang.
