Chapter Seventy-Four: Searching for Talents
After learning that Yuan Keli had entered Beijing, Wei Zhongxian knew that the other person Wan Sui wanted to use was Yuan Keli.
Sure enough, Tianqi's proposal to reappoint Yuan Keli as the governor of Denglai was quickly sent to the cabinet and the six ministries.
Since even Sun Chengzong didn't dare to stop it, it was naturally impossible to stop Yuan Keli, who had never participated in the party struggle and was not from the Donglin Party.
Therefore, Yuan Keli's appointment was also passed logically.
However, before that, the current governor of Denglai, Sun Guozhen, had to be transferred.
Almost without any reason, Tianqi directly ordered him to be transferred to Liaodong at the same level as the governor of Liaodong.
At this time, the status of Liaodong is higher than that of Denglai, so for Sun Guozhen, this is no different from promotion, so naturally there will be no opinions.
Before Yuan Keli left, Tianqi also gave him a Shang Fang sword to show his dependence.
Yuan Keli has served the Ming Dynasty for decades, and has never enjoyed such an honor, nor has he ever been so trusted by the emperor.
This is enough for a loyal veteran to serve him to the death.
With full of enthusiasm, Yuan Ke immediately rushed to Denglai to take up his post.
However, this arrangement alone is not enough for Apocalypse.
As a later generation, he knew very well that at this time, the combat ability and combat will of the captives were in their heyday, and almost no Ming army could match it head-on in field capabilities.
No matter how strong Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli's personal ability is, it is difficult to turn the tide in a short period of time, so they must arrange as many backhands as possible.
Tianqi called Luo Sigong and asked him to provide him with a comprehensive list as soon as possible, which included those who were in office or who had stepped down for some reason, who had held official positions of the fifth rank and above, or those who had held guerrilla and above military positions.
Of course, these people must still be alive, and he asked the household department to fully cooperate.
Although Luo Sigong and Guo Yunhou, the head of the household, didn't know what the apocalypse was going to do, they didn't dare to slack off.
Three days later, Luo Sigong handed over the list to Tianqi, who immediately locked himself in his study without anyone disturbing him, and then took a red pen and began to look for his familiar name.
"Lu Xiangsheng." Seeing this name, Tianqi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly circled the name.
"Qin Liangyu, this is the Taijun of the Ming Dynasty, the Qin family and her husband's Ma family can be described as full of loyalty." Apocalypse was very emotional, and hurriedly circled her name.
Then, he successively discovered Xu Guangqi, Cao Wenzhao, Hong Chengchou, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Mao Yuanyi, and Bi Maokang......
Of course, there are also some names he is familiar with that are not circled, and they are directly skipped, because they are not going to use them at all, such as Qian Qianyi, Feng Quan, etc., who are too cold in water.
It's not that the apocalypse looks down on their surrender in the official history, but that these people are shameless at the same time, and they have no ability to govern the country and the army except for intrigue, so what is the use?
However, there are a few names circled by the apocalypse, but they are a bit dazzling, such as Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming......
In the official history, these people all surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and made great contributions to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the unification of the country.
But the apocalypse didn't bother too much, and still circled them too, because these people are indeed capable.
Now that it is the last years of the dynasty, all kinds of problems are frequent, and it is not easy to have a person like Lu Xiangsheng, who is both civil and military, and has high moral integrity, and it is completely unrealistic to not let other officials and generals also follow this standard.
Therefore, as long as this person's role is greater than the harm now, and there is no one else who can replace them, the apocalypse can endure it, and if he can't bear it, he has to endure it, otherwise he is joking with his own country and net worth.
Besides, these people already have a certain status, and they can't be discarded now because of what may happen in the future.
And if these people are used well, they are a very good chess piece, wouldn't it be better to use them to consume Jianyu's strength?
As an emperor, the most taboo is to act rashly, just treat them as chess pieces, the chess pieces are not good or bad, just see if they are useful.
The list is long, but the apocalypse also looks quick, and it took less than an hour to go through it all.
However, what puzzled Tianqi was that there were still some people who were very familiar and had a great reputation in later generations, but they were not on this list, such as Sun Chuanting, Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing, etc.
This is either because Luo Sigong and the household department are missing some names for some reason, or these people have not yet reached the fifth rank official or above the guerrilla.
Tianqi felt that it should be the latter one more likely, because even if the household department had this heart, the current Luo Sigong would not dare to deceive himself like this.
So, the apocalypse brought Luo Sigong again and asked him to use part of the strength of Jinyiwei to inquire and find them.
The emperor's fanfare to find some unknown people is naturally easy to arouse people's curiosity and suspicion, because these people, even Jinyiwei and Hubu have not heard of it for a while, how did Banzai who has been in the palace for a long time know?
Apocalypse could naturally anticipate the reaction of some people, but he was not worried at all, and even wanted to send a signal to Wei Zhongxian through this move.
Without too much explanation, Wei Zhongxian himself should think about Taizu's head, he would definitely think that these were talents recommended by Taizu to the emperor, so that it could be explained.
This is exactly the case, when Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, told Wei Zhongxian about this strange thing, Wei Zhongxian instantly had this guess, and then asked the household department to fully cooperate with Jinyiwei to go to the place to investigate, and he must help Banzai to do this errand well.
Apocalypse didn't care about this anymore, he first listed the circled names, and then asked the household department to record the resumes of these people in detail and give them to himself.
Lu Xiangsheng: The word Jiandou, a native of Yixing County, Changzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, was born on March 4, the 28th year of Wanli, at the age of 28.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, he was first appointed as the head of the household department, and two years later he was promoted to a member of the foreign office, and then moved to the current Daimyo prefect.
Although Lu Xiangsheng was already the prefect of Zhengsi at this time, his reputation was not obvious, and no one would have thought that a few years later he would form the "Tianxiong Army" that would be famous in later generations, becoming a rare super general in the late Ming Dynasty, and was named "King Lu Yan" by the enemy.
However, thinking of Lu Xiangsheng's tragic ending in the official history, Tianqi was also indignant, and vowed that he would never let such a tragedy happen again.
So, he couldn't wait to give an order and summon Lu Xiang to the palace.
The Daimyo's Mansion is located in the southernmost part of Kita-Naoli, but it is also thousands of miles away from Kyoshi.
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was supervising a case of a gentry occupying fertile land in the government office, and when he heard the chanting outside the hall "The holy decree has arrived", he thought that his ears had heard it wrong.
"The decree has arrived, the decree has ......arrived," shouted one of the officers as he ran.
Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came out of the hall, and at a glance saw the eunuchs who were walking quickly with the holy decree.
