Chapter 210: Fengyang Shock
With the rapid improvement of Su Yang's status, authority, wealth, and the reason for holding heavy troops, 6 continued, many scholars who were optimistic about Su Yang either directly or indirectly found Su Yang, wanting to get an official position or an errand under him. But these people are very tactful when expressing their wishes, and no one has ever said to him so directly and justifiably that I want to be an official.
Yue Yang was immediately amused by this scholar named Wu Qing, and he said to Wu Qing angrily and funny: "Your name is Wu Qing, right, it's the first time I've seen a person like you who wants to be an official as soon as you meet directly, and this is the first time I've seen you, you're really welcome!" Haven't you read "The Mean"? ”
In the face of Yue Yang's ridicule with both blame and smile, Wu Qing arched his hand and said: "The students of "The Mean" have naturally read it, but the students think that the mean is not the meaning of letting people do nothing and go with the flow. Therefore, the students think that the adults say differently. ”
"Hey...... This kid. "Yue Yangxian himself has made a big mistake, he shouldn't have dropped his schoolbag with this scholar, that is purely to find guilt for himself. What do people do, they eat this bowl of rice, and discussing the Four Books and Five Classics with them is equivalent to a middle school student who has just learned the binary equation and finds Hua Luogeng with great interest to discuss the Goldbach conjecture with him.
Well, since discussing the mean with him is looking for abuse, Yue Yang will no longer bother with this issue. He asked Wu Qing very bluntly: "Since you are an official with this official, what will you do?" What official position do you want? ”
Wu Qing arched his hand again: "The student is quite interested in Tuntian and wants to serve as the deputy director of the Department of Civil Affairs." ”
"You want to work in the Department of Civil Affairs?"
Yue Yang looked at the other party with interest, in fact, the imperial court did not have the position of civil affairs department. This position is just a temporary official position that Yue Yang established more than a year ago. Its task is to resettle the displaced people, reclaim the wasteland, and put seeds, farm tools, and cattle for the displaced people.
Its first director was Hailou, even now. However, due to the fact that there were too many things in the Civil Affairs Department, Hailou gradually lacked skills, and several times proposed to Yue Yang to add a few deputies. Yue Yang also agreed, but today's scholars can talk and point out a lot of things, but the people who are proficient in agriculture and mulberry are too rare, and they have not found a suitable candidate until now, and now seeing that someone wants to volunteer to serve as the deputy director of the Department of Civil Affairs, Yue Yang suddenly became interested.
"Since you want to serve as the deputy director of the Department of Civil Affairs, then this official will test you, and now the number of displaced people in Hunyuan Prefecture has reached nearly 200,000, if it is handed over to you to manage, how do you think they should be settled?"
Wu Qing knew that this was Yue Yang's test for him. Whether he eats meat or drinks soup in the future depends on his current appearance, and he quickly cheered up and said, "My lord, this matter is not difficult to say. The students believe that the most important thing in resettlement is to resettle these displaced people in batches. Our dynasty has long made a rule on this, 50 households are 100 households for one tun, and the displaced people are concentrated and settled on a piece of land, and after giving them agricultural tools, seeds, and ploughing cattle, the displaced people can be bound to the land, so that they do not have to worry about them turning into wanderers. However, the resettlement of displaced people should also pay attention to the following points: First, the composition of displaced people is complex. It is necessary to pay attention to the placement of them according to different surnames, different clans and regions, otherwise it is easy to evolve into clan forces. Second, each tun must implement the system of a chief and a tun chief......"
Wu Qingyang spoke freely for nearly a quarter of an hour, and Yue Yang nodded frequently when he heard it. The so-called connoisseur will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move, this Wu Qing said that he called Yue Yang and knew that this guy had real talent and real learning, at least the several methods he said to resettle the displaced people are very practical methods. Although I don't know what his actual work ability is, I just want to talk about these methods. It's okay to be a policymaker.
"Alright, that's it for now. It's your turn, what kind of official do you want to be? Yue Yang stopped Wu Qing, who was still talking non-stop. He pointed to the scholar named Chen Zhi next to him.
Chen Zhi, who had a square face, said a little embarrassedly: "The student is not too interested in civil affairs, and the student wants to be a praise painter by the general's side." ”
In addition to giving advice to the commander, he was also responsible for drafting documents, orders and other things for the commander, which can be said to be a rather low-key position, which also made Yue Yang feel a little surprised.
Yue Yang looked at him with some surprise for a while before he said, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be interested in military affairs as a scholar, which is quite rare!" ”
Chen Zhi said with some embarrassment; "Let the general smile, when he used to study at home, students were interested in the art of war and military books such as battle formations, but my father hoped that students could get a meritorious name and come back, but after ten years of cold window, although the student has obtained the fame of Xiucai, it is really difficult to climb to the sky if he wants to take the examination in the future.
"That's right!" Yue Yang pondered for a moment, and casually asked him a few military questions, although his answer was not very standard, but it was much stronger than ordinary people, so he nodded, "Okay, I've finished asking, and I'm basically satisfied with your answer." What's that, Wu Qing...... I remember that your cousin's name is Sanshi, right, Sanshi, you will go to the Department of Civil Affairs tomorrow to report to Director Hai, and he will arrange for you to work. Chen Zhi, your name is called Zai Liu, Zai Liu, you will go to the General's Mansion tomorrow to be a scribe first, and then the official will arrange your specific work in the future, just like that, you ...... first"
Before Yue Yang's words were finished, he saw Chen Dazhi running in in a hurry. Seeing Chen Dazhi's appearance, Yue Yang couldn't help frowning slightly, why did this Chen Dazhi be so ignorant of the rules today, and he ran in without even shouting a report. It's just that as soon as this thought arose, he saw the anxiety and a hint of panic on Chen Dazhi's face. Only then did Yue Yang realize that something must have happened, otherwise his own captain would not have shown such a look.
Before Yueyang could speak, Chen Dazhi strode up to Yueyang, bowed his head to Yueyang and said: "General, I just got the news that the thieves Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xian and other troops actually broke through Fengyang on the 15th of this month, and Zhu Guoxiang and thousands of officers and soldiers were left behind in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial mausoleum was destroyed, and the Longxing Temple was burned. ”
"Boom ......"
Yue Yang was suddenly a little stunned, and at this time he remembered how he had forgotten this important event, the incident of being born in Chongzhen for eight years can be said to have affected the military deployment and direction of the future of Daming.
Seeing that Yue Yang's face changed color slightly, Wu Qing and Chen Zhi, who were sitting in front, glanced at each other, although they were curious, they didn't dare to ask, and the hall was silent for a while.
After a while, Yue Yang let out a long sigh, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled bitterly at Wu Qing and Chen Zhi and said, "Let the two of you laugh, you really just learned about a big event, so you are a little out of shape." ”
Seeing that Wu Qing and the others looked like they wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Yue Yang didn't intend to hide it from them, after all, even if he didn't say anything about it, they would know about it, so he explained: "The official got the news that a few days ago, the thieves Kou Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong broke through Fengyang, destroyed the imperial mausoleum, burned Longxing Temple, killed more than 60 eunuchs, and beheaded Zhu Guoxiang and thousands of officers and soldiers left behind in the Ming Dynasty. ”
"What, Fengyang is broken!" Wu Qing and Chen Zhi were also shocked.
Fengyang is not an ordinary place, although it is not a strategic place, but it is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, he issued many preferential policies to Fengyang and also built the imperial mausoleum. And Longxing Temple is the place where Lao Zhu was a monk when he was a child, and it is also a place to focus on protection.
After learning the news, Wu Qing and Chen Zhi knew that Yue Yang must have something urgent to deal with, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left. Looking at the two people who left, Yue Yang stretched out his hand and beckoned Chen Dazhi over and ordered: "You go and tell Jiang He, let him check the details of these two, remember to check carefully, and report in time if there is any problem." ”
"Yes!"
Chen Dazhi quickly said goodbye and left, leaving only Yue Yang, who was sitting there thinking about it.
For a long time, Yue Yang, who had been maintaining a posture of immobility, sighed: "It seems that the military strategy of the Ming Dynasty will change greatly in the future!" ”
Yueyang, a latecomer, knew very well that it was because Gao Yingxiang and these people burned Fengyang that Chongzhen shifted his military strategy from resisting Houjin to the direction of encircling and suppressing Liukou, which also led to the fact that in the next five or six years, the Ming Dynasty slowly consumed all the remaining elite troops on the domestic battlefield like squeezing toothpaste, and finally let the Manchus pick up a big bargain.
Things turned out to be as Yue Yang expected, after receiving the news of the fall of Fengyang, Chongzhen was dressed in plain clothes, burst into tears, and sent officials to the temple. The edict ordered conscription to exterminate the peasant army. On 13 February, due to the loss of the imperial mausoleum, Yang Yihe, the governor of Caoyun Shangshu, was arrested and imprisoned. So he was arrested and imprisoned with Wu Zhenying, the inspector of the imperial history, and Yang Ze, the eunuch who guarded the tomb. Yang Ze committed suicide first, Yang Yipeng abandoned the city, and Wu Zhenying fought on the side.
For the matter of being born in Fengyang, Anhui Province, although Yue Yang has learned the results from the history books of another time and space, he still has no way to intervene in the exhibition of things at this time, although he is now a general, with 16,000 troops, but now he is still an inconspicuous little thing in the entire Ming Dynasty, and many things are that he can only watch him live but cannot change.
It was only in March that Yue Yang suddenly received an order from Datong Mansion...... (To be continued......)
