Chapter 334: Framework Formation
(September is coming, and I hope to get a lot more support from readers, thank you.) )
Cao Yun is so important, it is impossible to fight alone, it is impossible to have any results, there must be the cooperation of the government and the people, the smooth completion of the Cao Yun task, thanks to the strength of Zheng Jiajun, but this situation is only temporary, Zheng Jiajun can not be engaged in Cao Yun matters for a long time, Zheng Jiajun has its own tasks, and continuous development and strength is what it should do at present.
Long before the start, Zheng Xunrui had a far-reaching plan, the first step was to severely punish the officials who did a lot of evil, as well as the Cao Gang, on this basis, to establish the prestige of the Caoyun Governor's Office, but also to maintain the normal operation of the local government, it should be said that the purpose of this step was basically achieved, after Zheng Xunrui reprimanded nearly 500 officials returned to the place, they became extraordinarily honest, honestly doing things, and no longer dared to fight the idea of Caoyun's food, for the documents and notices issued by the Caoyun Governor's Office, they were all implemented to the letter, These officials also maintained the normal operation of the local government and allowed the localities to slowly calm down.
The second step is that the officials must be in place.
The officials, wardens and messengers of the six rooms of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion have almost all been replaced, and Wen Kun has become the governor of Zheng Bapin, in charge of the six rooms, of course, in terms of important things, Wen Kun still has to report to Zheng Xunrui in a timely manner, and when dealing with daily things, he also fully respects Xu Wanghua's opinion.
But this is only the beginning, the allocation of local officials, as well as the adjustment of the guards and soldiers, must also be carried out, after all, Cao Yun involves all aspects, and it is only the actions of the government, it is not good, since the Cao Gang has been defeated, there should be a corresponding local organization to coordinate the relevant matters of Cao Yun, after all, the officials of the government cannot be particularly familiar with Cao Yun. As the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not particularly familiar with business affairs, which is caused by the system, and it is impossible to change it in a short period of time. In such a situation, it is necessary for a non-governmental organization to come forward to coordinate the affairs of the Cao Yun.
This second step is the key to the success of remediation.
Therefore, most of Zheng Xunrui's energy is put into this, and his plan is very far-reaching.
Cao Yun is not the most important matter, it is to use the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to run through the north and south of the material exchange, this task is not very complicated, it is nothing more than the officials in charge of this matter, as well as some non-governmental coordination organizations, have evil ideas. In addition, there are Donglin Party people intervening in this, which makes Caoyun extremely complicated and shady, once the chain of interests is cut off, Caoyun can become simple.
Zheng Xunrui's main energy is still in the construction of Zheng Jiajun.
This time, the top ten Cao gangs were eliminated, and by the way, some little-known small Cao gangs were also eliminated, and Zheng Jiajun seized 30 million taels of silver. These silver can do big things, and at the same time, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun have come to the south. Huai'an is close to Nanjing, and Zheng Xunrui's plan to strengthen the strength of the Zheng family army and concentrate on the research and development of firearms can begin to be considered and implemented.
Let the Zheng family army become an invincible army, this is the most important thing for Zheng Xunrui.
The relevant recitals have long been sent to the capital, but the emperor's decree and the edict of the officials have not come down for a long time, and Zheng Xunrui is not easy to urge. During this period, he received a letter from Yang Tingshu, Yang Tingshu carefully talked about the fluctuations in the capital, and said that there were still a lot of discussions about what happened in Huai'an, but the emperor did not specifically mention this matter. The early dynasty did not discuss this matter, and several prefects who were escorted to the capital were locked in the prison of Dali Temple, and no one paid attention to them for the time being.
Such a calm situation in the capital should have been expected by Zheng Xunrui, he had already made preliminary preparations, wrote several letters, and stabilized the feelings of some people, otherwise such a big thing would not be a frying pan in the capital.
The holy decree and the edict were delayed, and Zheng Xunrui thought of the Donglin party.
Huai'an's actions should have threatened the foundation of the Donglin Party, not to mention the capital, let's talk about the south, the Donglin Party's proud Huang Daozhou came forward in person, it can be seen that the Donglin Party people are aware of the danger, but there is no place to start.
Of course, Zheng Xunrui has absolute confidence, this time the action is lightning fast, the Donglin Party people can't make good preparations, and they can't think of other ways to deal with it, not only that, once all the matters of the first and second steps are done, Zheng Xunrui will start to target those scholars and businessmen in the south.
Therefore, Zheng Xunrui was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for the emperor's decree or the edict of the ministry.
On the first day of November, the edict of the Ministry of Officials finally arrived.
Shi Kefa served as the patrol to participate in politics, Ma Shiying served as the governor to participate in politics, and Su Jiancheng served as an escort to participate in politics.
Liang Xingli served as the inspector of the imperial history, and Zhao Danyu served as the governor of the imperial history, and the grades of both of them were positive seven grades.
Cao Chi served as the chief inspector, Gu Menglin served as the director of the warehouse, and Wen Kun served as the governor of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion.
Ma Zhukui served as the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, Luo Changluo served as the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, Li Changshun served as the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, Huang Huixu served as the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture, Ma Daikun served as the prefect of Xuzhou, and Li Panlong served as the prefect of Shanyin County.
Zheng Jinhong concurrently served as the commander of Wei Caodu.
Shi Kefa was originally the prefect of Xi'an, Ma Shiying was the governor of Yansui, and Su Jiancheng was originally the governor of the Qin Prince's Mansion, Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying, among them, Zheng Xunrui had long wanted to bring to Huai'an, as for Su Jiancheng, it was a secret agreement between him and Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, to unite the power that can be united, which is Zheng Xunrui's style.
Liang Xingli and Zhao Danyu, the two of them used to be the lord of Lishui County and the lord of Jurong County, respectively, and they were the eighth grade, but this time they were adjusted to patrol the imperial history and supervise the imperial history, and became the officials of the seventh grade, and they were promoted two levels in a row.
Cao Chi and Gu Menglin, who used to be the governors of the Shaanxi Governor Yamen, followed to Huai'an this time to serve as the chief of the patrol and the director of the warehouse, on the surface, they are still eight products, but the responsibilities are completely different, especially Gu Menglin, you must know that the warehousing matters of Caoyun are directly under the jurisdiction of the director of the warehouse, although the official is not big, the power is not small.
Ma Zhukui, Luo Changluo, Li Changshun, Huang Huixu, Ma Daikun and Li Panlong were all Zheng Xunrui's right-hand men when he served as the governor of Yansui, and all of them were transferred to Huai'an this time to help Zheng Xunrui control the four prefectures and three prefectures.
Such an approach made Zheng Xunrui a little ashamed of Wen Zhenheng, after all, this time the transfer made Wen Zhenheng lose a lot of capable cadres, but long before that, Zheng Xunrui wrote a letter to Wen Zhenheng to explain the situation, in comparison, Huaibei's status is far more important than Shaanxi.
After such adjustments, Zheng Xunrui firmly controlled all the matters of Caoyun, the most critical links of Caoyun, namely patrolling, supervising, escorting and warehousing, these positions, all of them are Zheng Xunrui's henchmen, and then the four prefectures and three states, the most critical four prefectures, the new prefect are all Zheng Xunrui's trusted officials, among the three states, Xuzhou's position is the most important.
As for Shanyin County, its importance is self-evident, it is the location of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and the location of the Caoyun Wharf, and the county governor here must be Zheng Xunrui's henchman.
In addition, the big adjustment is Zheng Jiajun.
Zheng Jinhong as the commander-in-chief of the Zheng Jiajun, concurrently served as the commander of the Wei Caodu, controlled the Wei Cao soldiers, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui, Hong Xinyu, Wang Yuncheng served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zheng Jiajun, of which Yang He was in charge of the daily training of the Zheng Jiajun, assisted Zheng Jinhong in the recruitment of sergeants, focusing on the management of the scout battalion, Liu Zeqing was in charge of the logistics supply of the Zheng Jiajun, focusing on the jurisdiction of the cavalry battalion, Hong Xintao was stationed in Shaanxi, responsible for the exchange of markets with the grassland tribes, Hong Xingui was in charge of the cavalry battalion, Hong Xinyu was in charge of the pro-soldier battalion, and Wang Yuncheng was in charge of the infantry battalion.
Su Congjun, Su Manzi and Wang Xiaoer were all promoted to the rank of general of the Zheng family.
Zheng Kaitao served as the guerrilla general of the Zheng family's army.
It can be said that the edict of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War made Zheng Xunrui a complete victory, he fully grasped the opportunity of a qiē, and has firmly controlled the entire Huaibei and Caoyun matters, and this opportunity has strengthened the construction of Zheng's army.
Don't underestimate such an adjustment, he has laid a solid foundation for Zheng Xunrui's future development.
Sowing the autumn wind, there is night rain, this is the end of Zheng Xunrui's hard work.
Zhang Fengyi can serve as the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Yang Yipeng can become the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, which has the credit of Zheng Xunrui, and between the first assistant of the cabinet Wen Tiren, Zheng Xunrui also pays attention to the relationship, and more importantly, the relationship between Zheng Xunrui and the eunuch Gao Qiqian is very harmonious, which is a relationship that should not be underestimated, so that Zheng Xunrui can leave a good impression in the emperor's mind.
Zheng Xunrui understands very well that there is still a period of time before he is full-fledged, but the shelf has been erected, and then it depends on how to work hard next, Huaibei is one of the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Jiajun has a foothold here, can get sufficient supplies, with silver, can develop and build Zheng Jiajun on a large scale, once Zheng Jiajun has a good scale, then he can completely decide his own fate.
Of course, the road behind is still very difficult, the news from the north, as well as Wen Zhenheng's letter, Zheng Xunrui learned that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others, who fled Sichuan, began to operate in Shanxi, Henan and Huguang again, and the scale is not small, as for the Houjin Tartars, after suffering the last defeat, they will never give up, after a short period of rest, there will definitely be a big move, after all, Huang Taiji took out more than 10 million taels of silver, this is not a small amount, it has a great impact on the Houjin Society, Huang Taiji was desperate to make amends.
After the announcement of the edict, Zheng Xunrui had a heroic mind, he felt that the road in front of him suddenly became wider, and there were more choices in the future, whether to continue to maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, be loyal to the emperor, or set up another stove, and start all over again, so that the Ming Dynasty would prosper and stand on top of the world, which became a more realistic problem.
