Directly let Lin Zhe act Su Songtai to prepare for the road?

Xu Naizhao listened to Huang Yidian's suggestion, and fell into deep thought for a while, he hadn't considered this situation before, because Lin Zhe was not strictly a local official, let alone an official in Jiangsu Province.

Lin Zhe's current identity is somewhat special, which can be seen from his series of titles: Zhejiang Provincial Co-organizer of the Minister of League Training, Huzhou Donation Bureau Supervisor, Shanghai Business Zone Supervisor, and then add a Zhejiang Province Sanpin Candidate Dao.

It can be seen from the fact that he still hangs on the three-rank alternate path that there is no serious traditional shortage in his various titles, and all of them are temporary assignments.

Coupled with the factor that Lin Zhe supports an army of 5,000, many people regard Lin Zhe directly as a military general, rather than a traditional civilian official.

This is also the reason why Xu Naizhao has never considered recommending Lin Zhe to serve as Su Songtai's soldier before!

It's just that now being reminded by Huang Yidian, Xu Naizhao has also thought about it, if Lin Zhe is directly acting as Su Songtai's soldiers, is this matter feasible? Is it good for yourself? Does it help the current predicament in southern Jiangsu?

Among the advantages, if Lin Zhe served as Su Songtai's military preparation, then his Yu Shengjun garrison in Shanghai would not be a co-defense, and if the Taiping army crossed Zhenjiang to attack Suzhou, Lin Zhe must lead his troops to fight, otherwise it would be the crime of trapping the city and losing the land.

This means that this official position can force Lin Zhe to take the initiative to send troops to fight against the Taiping army.

With the help of Yu Shengjun, it is not a big problem for him to hold the front line of Suzhou, and it is even possible to recover Zhenjiang.

Thinking of this, Xu Naizhao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Recommend Lin Zhe, Lan Weiwen, and Xue Huan!" ”

Although Xu Naizhao is the governor of Jiangsu, in fact, he has no power to selfishly decide that a four-grade Taoist is really lacking such an important official position, and he recommended Lin Zhe to it, as for whether it can be achieved, it depends on the thoughts of the court bigwigs.

Xu Naizhao recommended the new Su Song Taibing to the imperial court, and there was his name in the list, although this matter was a secret, but Lin Zhe still knew it quickly, because Xu Naizhao did not hide it from him, and wrote directly to Lin Zhe, saying that he recommended him to prepare for Su Songtaibing.

Xu Naizhao sent a letter to Lin Zhe, on the one hand, to let him be psychologically prepared, on the other hand, Xu Naizhao has to let Lin Zhe know that it is me who brings you, whether it can be you or not, Lin Zhe had better remember this kindness, and in the future, when I want you to send troops to Zhenjiang or Jiangning, don't push back.

After reading Xu Naizhao's letter, Lin Zhe frowned a little!

Su Song is too prepared? This is not a good errand, maybe in the eyes of others, this kind of four-grade shortage is extremely rare, and it is still a rich place like Shanghai, and it is easy to earn 100,000 taels of snowflake silver for the first term of office.

But Lin Zhe himself doesn't see it that way.

This Su Song Taibing Beidao is different from the supervision of the business district, although the business district is small, but it is an independent kingdom with a transcendent status, Su Songtai Bingbei Dao is just a traditional position, and he still has Xu Naizhao as the governor.

Moreover, although Su Songtai is rich, these taxes have to be paid to the imperial court, and many of them will be collected by the governor's yamen, and you can't intercept much at all when you prepare for the yamen.

In 1853, the power of the local governors of the Qing court was far less than that of the late Qing Dynasty, and the people said that the central government was weak and the localities were strong.

Not to mention anything else, just look at how hard Wu Jianzhang was before, he controls the Su Songtai region and the customs, and handles millions of taxes every year, but he still has money under his hands, and he has no soldiers!

This changed Lin Zhe to serve as the superintendent of Jianghaiguan Dao for Su Songtai's military preparation, and the situation would not be better than Wu Jianzhang's.

In addition, there is another problem that this Lin Zhe is the minister of the Youth League Training of Zhejiang Province, and the Huzhou Donation Bureau supervises it, and even the title of Sanpin Candidate Dao has to add a prefix to Zhejiang Province, which is called Zhejiang Province Sanpin Candidate Dao.

To put it bluntly, Lin Zhe's foundation is in Zhejiang, and it is one thing to let Lin Zhe serve as the temporary dispatch of the superintendent of the business zone, and it is another thing for you to officially appoint Lin Zhe as Su Songtai's military preparation.

When Lin Zhe became Su Songtai of Jiangsu, would he still have the title of Minister of Youth League Training in Zhejiang Province and Supervisor of Huzhou Donation Bureau?

Without the Huzhou Donation Bureau, it would have to lose nearly 10,000 taels of silver every month, and without the name of the minister of Zhejiang co-organizing the regimental training, Yu Shengjun would not be justified.

Lin Zhe dreamed of having a piece of his own territory, but this territory must ensure that there is independent military, political and financial power, such as the governor of a province or the governor of several provinces, not just a mere military reserve among middle-level officials.

If he is a nominal and unsubstantial, he does not have much benefit to himself, he might as well continue to be the supervisor of his own business zone, although the business zone is small, but the military, political and financial powers are independent, and the development potential is not to say, counting the Jianghai Beiguan, the future tax of the trade zone is not much difficult to compare with the entire Susongtai region.

In addition, Lin Zhe now has no local official concerns, he can leave if he wants, stay if he wants, fight wherever he wants, and fight wherever he wants, no one dares to force him to fight if he doesn't want to fight, and there are not many people in the world who can control him.

If he becomes Su Songtai's soldiers, in case tens of thousands of Taiping troops come over and occupy Suzhou, will he Lin Zhe fight or not? If you beat him, he will suffer a loss, and if he doesn't fight, the court will immediately dismiss him and ask him for his guilt.

In short, for ordinary officials, there are many advantages to being Su Songtai's soldiers, but compared to Lin Zhe, the benefits are actually quite limited, and even more disadvantages!

But it was useless for Lin Zhe to think about it, the appointment of Su Songtai was not something that Lin Zhe could decide, after Xu Naizhao's recommendation was sent, Lin Zhe's name once again circulated among the court bigwigs on a small scale.

"This Lin Zhe, this name seems to have been heard there!" Prince Gong, who had just been on duty for not long ago, looked at Xu Naizhao's fold and said while flipping through it.

Ruilin, who was on duty at the same time as him next to him, picked up the conversation: "Lord Wang, this Lin Zhe is the one who defeated the thief army in Huzhou!" ”

Listening to Ruilin's reminder, Yixun also thought about it: "I remember, at that time, Governor Huang of Zhejiang reported his merits, saying that Lin Zhe led the army to break the army of tens of thousands of thieves with a thousand people!" ”

"Yes, this is the person!" Ruilin said: "It's just that this Lin Zhe's ability to lead the army to fight is naturally there, but Jiangsu Futai is recommending him to prepare for Su Songtai's soldiers, which is not suitable!" ”

However, Yi Xun on the side read Xu Naizhao's recommendation excerpt a few times, and there was not much description of Lin Zhe in the excerpt, but Lin Zhe was more respected in his words, "The officer is good at training and governing the army, good at helping the people and reassuring the people, and negotiating with foreigners is also quite profitable."

A few simple words gave Lin Zhe a very high evaluation, and finally bluntly said that the member was the best candidate for Su Song Taidao.

"This person is only a villager in the wild at the beginning of the year, and less than a year after the donation group training, he has already been blessed as a three-grade Dao, if he is allowed to be in charge of the Dao again, a year or two later, he will make meritorious service again, wouldn't he reward him with a governor, you must know that this person is only twenty and three this year!"

Ruilin's words directly said that Lin Zhe was promoted too quickly now, and he was too young, and his official qualifications were still shallow, which was not enough to serve the public.

But what made Ruilin say this was not only because of Lin Zhe's age and qualifications, but more importantly, this Lin Zhe was just a registered squire, but such a person responded to every call in his hometown, and easily recruited thousands of soldiers, and his momentum was no less than that of Zeng Guofan.

The court bigwigs have always been full of vigilance against Zeng Guofan's group training, and in history, even Emperor Xianfeng wanted to reward him with a governor of Hubei, but he was dissuaded by those ministers, saying that there are more than 10,000 followers, I am afraid that it is not the blessing of the country, and the interesting thing is that if Emperor Xianfeng is a Manchurian minister, then it is nothing, and people should guard against you Hanchen. But the key dissuasion is still a Han Chen, who is the contemporary foreman of the military aircraft Qi Junzao.

Today's Lin Zhe and Zeng Guofan are in a similar situation, and even the political disadvantage is worse than Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan is still a jinshi, Ding Wei was a squire before, and he Lin Zhe used to be just an ordinary person, and this official hat was bought directly with money.

Such Lin Zhe called out thousands of people in Jiangnan and gathered 5,000 troops, how could this not make these court bigwigs vigilant.

Although Lin Zhe was always thinking about rebellion and the like, the Qing court bigwigs were not stupid, and they all prevented Hanchen landlords like Lin Zhe and Zeng Guofan from rebelling.

However, Prince Gong, who is younger than Lin Zhe, is still just a hairy young man, he is only twenty years old this year, he has just set foot in government affairs, although his talent is not weak, but in the end he is still young and vigorous, I heard Ruilin say that Lin Zhe is young and lacks qualifications.

directly put these on himself, he is younger than Lin Zhe, and his qualifications are not a few months, but he has already entered the military aircraft department, which will naturally make many people dissatisfied.

This group of old immortals, one by one, is afraid of this and that, if it weren't for these people shrinking their hands and feet, this Yue rebellion would have been wiped out in a hurry, why drag it out until now, Yixun muttered in his heart, but he knew what to say and what not to say.

He immediately said: "Now that the thief army in southern Jiangsu is strong, in order to prevent the wealth of southern Jiangsu from being lost, it is better to have someone who understands military affairs to sit in town, in case Shanghai falls again." ”

Yixun said this, although Na Ruilin still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't speak.

There was a little wave in the imperial court for his appointment, Lin Zhe naturally didn't know, for Lin Zhe, the temple was still too far away, and whether he could serve as Su Song's military preparation, he himself was not very active, otherwise he would have been replaced by other officials, and it was estimated that he would have sent someone to bring a large amount of silver to the Beijing Division.

But Lin Zhe didn't ask, it can be seen that he really doesn't take it to heart!

If you have to let him be this soldier, he will try one or two if he has no delay, in short, don't expect him to be an ordinary Taoist like Wu Jianzhang, and if he doesn't squeeze out more than one million taels of silver in the Su Songtai region, Lin Zhe is too lazy to take office.

If he can't do it, Lin Zhe is also happy to see the current situation of maintaining a high degree of freedom and exclusive power, and is bent on developing the trade zone and then expanding the army with this, and then seeking greater benefits.

Lin Zhe kept a relaxed attitude, but others may not, I don't know who passed it out Lin Zhe was going to take up Su Song's military preparations, and countless people paid attention to this matter for a while, even those foreigners came to ask Lin Zhe, whether he was going to be transferred, and if Lin Zhe was transferred, would it affect the continuation of the business area?

Lin Zhe is a little annoyed, the efficiency of this court is too slow, isn't it just an official appointment, as for delaying for a month?

Now the business area and Yu Shengjun are floating in the hearts of the people!

And at this time, Shanghai finally ushered in the Qincha team, and the leading Qincha led people straight to the yamen of the business zone, and for a while, everyone knew that there was finally a result in this matter!

For a time, many officials and gentry in the Shanghai area were looking forward to it one by one, and even the Anglo-American-French consuls sent people to the yamen of the business zone in time to inquire about the news.
