Chapter 35 When the Central Decree arrives in Dengzhen, can you pick it up?
Denglai, the camp of the Ming army in Dengzhen.
Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was dressed in a second-grade flying fish suit, sat on the main seat, slowly took a sip of tea, raised his eyes, and glanced at Shen Yourong, the chief soldier of Dengzhen.
Originally, the commander of Jinyiwei was a third-grade envoy, but when he received the secret decree of the saint and went out of Beijing, Zhu Youxiao promoted him to the same rank as the governor of Denglai.
In the Ming Dynasty, the chief military officer was the highest military commander who guarded the locality, which changed the problem that the generals who trained the troops did not command the battle, and the generals who commanded the operation did not care about the training, which was conducive to improving the combat effectiveness of the army and creating a situation in which the power of affairs was single-minded.
However, the emperor was worried that the general army would dominate one side and support the army for its own respect, so he sent subordinates, called governors, to participate in the management of the army and weaken the power of the general military officers.
Due to the purpose of the imperial court, which emphasized literature and suppressed military force, the general army was also under the governor and was controlled by it.
In other words, Shen Yourong, the chief soldier of Dengzhen, was to be commanded by Tao Langxian, the governor of Denglai. Without the holy decree signed by the cabinet, and without the investigation and verification of the Ministry of War, Shen Yourong's face changed, although he had already complied with the order, he was still a little apprehensive.
Speaking of Shen Yourong, he is already sixty-three years old, which is about the same as Luo Sigong.
Don't look at Shen Yourong is not famous in history, but he joined the army after he was lifted in the martial arts test at the age of 22 and has a career of more than 40 years.
Shen Yourong participated in the war to aid Korea, crusaded against the Yehe rebellion under Li Chengliang, Ningchengbo in Liaodong, fought Duoyan under Qi Shaobao in Jizhen, captured and killed the Japanese in Dongsha, and scared off the Dutch in Penghu......
In the first year of Taichang (1620), the invasion of the Later Jin State in Liaodong intensified, so the Ming court set up a deputy general army in Shandong, stationed in Dengzhou, and commanded the naval division, thinking that it was a land strategy.
Because of his past exploits, Shen Yourong was appointed as the chief soldier and governor of Dengzhen, and "Denglai became an important town".
In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Shenyang and Liaoyang fell one after another, and the Later Jin occupied the Liaodong Peninsula and some coastal islands, posing a serious threat to the Ming Dynasty.
Xiong Tingbi, the economic strategy of Liaodong, proceeded from the overall situation and put forward the "tripartite arrangement", the second of which was "to cross the sea with Denglai as a surprise soldier", and recommended Tao Lang to be the governor of Denglai and stationed in Dengzhou.
To say that Tao Langxian, the governor of Denglai, is also a capable official.
In the forty-first year of Wanli, he was transferred to the prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture, and he asked for the opening of the sea ban and the transportation of grain from Liaodong. Build academies, buy military fields, recruit and reclaim 7,000 acres of island fields, and accumulate 300,000 stones. He ranked first in the performance appraisal and was promoted to deputy envoy of Shandong.
In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Nurhachi captured Shenyang, and the Ming Dynasty army transported grain from the sea to rescue that year. He was responsible for shipping grain, and transported 1.8 million stone to Liao in two years, saving 5 million gold compared with land transportation.
In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Liaodong was completely occupied by Nurhachi. He recovered another 200,000 stone of grain from the sea lane.
At that time, there were countless people who fled from the sea route to Dengzhou, and Tomran first taught the fields by mouth, and incorporated the strong into the army, so that the social order was stable and normal.
After the imperial court agreed on the tripartite arrangement, it entered Liaodong from the three directions of Tong (formerly Tongxian in Beijing), Tianjin (i.e., Tianjin), Denglai (referring to Dengzhou and Laizhou), and North Korea, and ordered him to sit in Denglai to make preparations.
TOMRA actively cooperated with the implementation and used the recovered grain for shipbuilding and armament. At present, Dengzhen has 30,000 soldiers, nearly 10,000 good horses, 2,000 ships, and countless armor battles.
Zhu Youxiao read Tao Langxian's resume and felt that he was much stronger than Wang Huazhen. If he can do what he is told, that's for the best.
If TOMRA refuses to take it first, then it can only be taken first, and then reused at a later opportunity.
After Shen Yourong took over as the commander-in-chief of Dengzhen, he got along well with Tao Langxian, and he received strong support from Tao Langxian in the placement of troops and military forces. In his heart, he hoped that Taurang would accept the order first, and he would do it.
The emperor bypassed the decree of His Excellency, although the procedure was wrong, and he could send the Jinyi guard to command officials of this weight, which shows the emperor's determination, and the consequences of refusing to accept the decree can be imagined.
Of course, no matter what Tao Langxian's attitude was, Shen Yourong had already passed down the general order in accordance with the instructions of the holy decree, and the entire Dengzhen soldiers and horses were in full swing preparing for cross-sea operations.
This is the difference between civil officials and military generals at that time, civil officials are heavy-minded, and they are also brainless, not only do they come to "ministers dare not obey edicts" at every turn, but they also take pleasure in instigating the emperor.
The more angry the emperor is, the better, the more fierce the scolding, the better it is to take a beating of the court staff, and it will be praised by Shilin and famous throughout the country.
Hehe, I was not ashamed of being beaten up, but I was proud of it, and I took this as a good opportunity to become famous and spread through the ages. There is no one with such a mentality.
The most interesting thing is that during the reign of Emperor Jiajing, because of the great ceremonial dispute, the emperor once made more than 100 people in court.
Hey, guess what, after the fact, there were a lot more people than they actually got beaten, what's going on?
It turns out that many people have added the names of their relatives and friends through this. Spanked by the emperor, glorious ancestors.
Because of this, several emperors of the Ming Dynasty were helpless against such a stinky and shameless civil official.
Sometimes, when I was scolded badly, I could only comfort myself: this girl was deliberate, she wanted to deceive the court staff to become famous, but Lao Tzu didn't beat you and didn't let you get your wish.
That's right, it's not so easy to get beaten.
Therefore, the emperor hated so much that he had to swallow his anger. Beat you up to get angry, but there is the depression of being played.
As a result, there were more strange emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Zhengde completely let go of himself, Emperor Jiajing embarked on a long road of mortal cultivation of immortals, Wanli can't afford to provoke and hide, I can't be a dead fat house?
According to Zhu Youxiao's thoughts, these emperors are especially forced and angry by the civil and official group, and they are already shameless and skinless if they don't get mental illness under the wild spray.
"Master Tao has arrived!" The news from outside caused both men in the tent to stop their original movements.
Luo Sigong put down the tea bowl, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, got up with a smile, and fortunately dusted off the small folds on his clothes.
Shen Yourong's face was more complicated, he got up to greet him, and politely invited Governor Tao Lang in first.
"Master Tao, Luo has missed the distance, forgive me." Luo Sigong arched his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Lao Luo has been waiting for a long time, forgive your sins, forgive your sins." Tao Lang didn't dare to hold it up first, and hurriedly returned the salute.
Luo Sigong said with a smile: "Lord Tao is busy with official business, and he has managed this Denglai very well. The saints all praised it, saying that Governor Tao had the talent of the pavilion! ”
Tao Lang hurriedly identified the direction, arched his hand to the west, and said: "The saint praises falsely, Tao Mou dare not be." ”
Hehe, Luo Sigong smiled, then smiled, stretched out his hand and asked, "Gonggong Chen, announce the decree to Master Tao!" ”
Gonggong Chen coughed dryly, and then slowly got up from his seat, stood up, and took out the holy decree.
Tao Lang frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, knelt down and kowtowed, "Chen Tao Lang will take the order first." ”
