The 364th Round: The Opening
Yang Cheng's emergency suppression of bandits has a lot to do with the influx of displaced people.
Since the day after the withdrawal of the Houjin army from Gaizhou, there has been a large influx of fleeing people.
These poor people did not have a good garment on them, they ate the grass of tree roots, and their feet were frozen with pus.
There are also missing arms and fingers, which are very common things.
made Yang Chengying dare not go out for several days.
I'm afraid that if I see these things, he will give me full authority to handle them.
Therefore, it is an urgent task to suppress bandits and reassure the people. It doesn't matter how wronged you were before, since you have become a bandit, you must have the consciousness of being eliminated.
In addition to this, there is a very important reason why Yang Chengying does not go out.
He'd have to figure out a way to make himself a staff.
Kaifu, a very familiar word, was a very unfamiliar word in the Ming Dynasty.
Because opening a government means having its own hired subordinate officials, and the Ming Law clearly stipulates that it is strictly forbidden for officials to privately invest in subordinates.
In other words, Yang Chengying has now touched the ceiling of the Ming Dynasty's military generals.
used to invite Mao Yuanyi and Sun Yuanhua, because his power was still very weak, and the court didn't know that there was such a number one person as him.
In other words, both Jinzhou Town and Jinzhou Army relied on Yang Chengying to fight.
But as his prestige grew, so did the restrictions.
Outside, it seems that there is only one Hu Liang auxiliary eunuch. But this benevolent brother came out of the imperial horse eunuch, and that was the eunuch next to the emperor.
In other words, he was pinched by Hu Liangfu.
Internally, there is also the princess pressing. From time to time, she wrote letters to her emperor's brother to report on the inside of Jinzhou Town.
These are nothing compared to "Kaifu", which is something that military generals can't even think of.
The governors and governors served by civil officials have a certain right to open the government, which is approved by the imperial court and the emperor.
Yang Chengying now wants to open the government, not to mention the ministers of Yanguan Kechen, even Yan Mingtai, the governor of New Jiliao, and the ministers of the King of New Jiliao will not agree, and the emperor will not agree.
But if you don't "open the house", Jinzhou Town will be in charge of each piece for a long time, and sooner or later something will happen.
In particular, Yang Chengying had to personally defend Gaizhou and deal with the strong enemy in the north and the Ming army in western Liaoning.
Gaizhou commanded the envoy, and Yang Chengying came to Ning Wan to discuss the matter.
"I really can't think of a good way to solve this problem."
Yang Chengying rubbed his temples, "This was the case with grain sales last year, and the two sides had to negotiate together, and it almost caused a big incident." ”
Ning Wan asked, "Then the marshal wants to use those people to form your staff and coordinate the handling of government affairs of all parties?" ”
"Of course it's you, Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian and Zu Tianshou."
Yang Chengying blurted out.
These three, except for Zu Tianshou, are all bachelors used by Huang Taiji to balance the Jurchen aristocracy in history, and their abilities have their own tendencies.
To use an inappropriate analogy, Fan Wencheng is similar to Zhuge Liang, Ning Wan I is similar to Pang Tong, and Bao Chengxian is Xiao He and Cao Shen of Lao Qiu's eighth version.
Zu Tianshou can be included in the list, which has something to do with Yang Chengying's balance of forces.
Moreover, Zu Tianshou's performance was not bad.
After Ning Wan, I thought for a while, and then said, "In that case, why don't you ask the imperial court to allow you to set up a literary hall." The excuse is that there have never been decent scholars in Liaodong, so you have to set up a literary museum to hire readers to write and engrave books, and spread them in the four guards of southern Liaoning, so that they can deeply admire the teachings of the saints. ”
"Beautiful!" Yang Chengying slapped the table in surprise.
This idea is exactly an excuse made by Huang Taiji in history in order not to attract the attention of the Jurchen nobles. It is said to be a translation of books, but it has gradually become the decision-making body of Huang Taiji.
Later, Huang Taiji gave them positions with real power, which virtually replaced the tradition of the Manchurian aristocracy discussing politics together.
High, really high!
Yang Cheng immediately wrote a notebook and begged the emperor to let him open a literary hall and publish books.
Before getting approval, Yang Chengying did several things in Gaizhou.
The first thing was to move out of Amin's place and give it to Hu Liangfu, who had just arrived in Gaizhou City.
is the so-called canary with a golden cage, although Yang Chengying raised this no bird, it does not prevent him from treating him with the treatment of raising canaries.
Yang Chengying himself got a mansion near the West Gate, which was formerly the residence of Zilharang. Yang Chengying changed it there, and next door is where Yang Chengying's literary museum is located.
The second thing is to restore the Ming Dynasty's dun army - Shimen Pass, Shanghata Pier, Da Tuo Ling Pass, and Da Tuan Ling Dun.
There were 500 soldiers on each pier.
These dun troops were served by the soldiers of the original Ming army who surrendered to Jin and Yang Chengying, and their treatment was slightly lower than that of other Ming troops.
Thanks to Amin, after these Dun soldiers mentioned it, Jin Jun gritted his teeth, and the treatment was naturally not much better.
Now that I have followed Mr. Yang, I really gave money and food, and let them eat hot mutton soup and rice, so they naturally worked hard.
Yang Chengying didn't let them stay as a dun army, but told them, you guard these piers for me and contain the attack of the Houjin army. Those who perform well are recruited into the regular army, and those who perform poorly are dismissed.
Those who perform decently will wait for the physical evaluation to pass the test, and then consider joining the regular army as appropriate.
This move is ostensibly recruiting the dun army, but it is actually preparing for the next army expansion.
Beijing, East Factory.
Wei Zhongxian has been fighting against each other several times, and he has already monopolized power.
Wherever he stays, there is the place where the world is governed.
"Yang Cheng should go to the imperial court and ask for the establishment of a literary museum, what do you think?"
Wei Zhongxian is illiterate, so he can only leave this kind of thing to his subordinates.
And his two smartest subordinates are Cui Chengxiu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and Huo Weihua, the Taifu Siqing.
The two said in unison: "I can't agree." ”
"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin fought with Li Jiancheng for power in order to recruit talents, and created a literature museum."
Cui Chengxiu quoted scriptures, "Yang Chengying wants to set up a literary museum, and his mind is the same as Li Shimin." ”
Wei Zhongxian listened, turned his head to look at Huo Weihua: "What about you?" ”
Huo Weihua said: "Yang Chengying has become a climate, but he has been suffering from not being able to hire staff to manage government affairs, if he opens a museum, it will help him solve this problem, and it will be even more difficult to manage in the future." ”
"If the imperial court doesn't agree, what will happen if he opens his own literary museum?" Wei Zhongxian asked.
This question asked Cui Chengxiu and Huo Weihua.
Although the Da Ming Law has clear provisions, if it is really implemented conscientiously, how can there be so many things today.
Moreover, Yang Chengying can completely excuse himself as a scholar to publish books, and you have nothing to do with him.
If there was a way, Huo Weihua would not have been held until he left.
"You say, does Yang Cheng have any thoughts about the imperial court?" Wei Zhongxian asked suddenly.
Choi Chengxiu is not easy to answer.
Huo Weihua, who was familiar with the situation, said: "That's not true. Yang Chengying was very afraid to come to the capital, as if he was summoned to Liaoyang by Wang Huazhen once and almost killed him.
If it weren't for the late Xue Guoyong to stop him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today. ”
Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Since he doesn't have the heart to come to the court, why should I provoke him and give the Donglin Party a chance to win him over." This matter is approved, and by the way, let the messenger tell him that this is all the grace of our family. ”
Cui Chengxiu and Huo Weihua looked at each other, both feeling that this move was inappropriate.
But thinking that this kind of thing he did was not small, he had no face to persuade Father-in-law Wei not to do that.
So, Wei Zhongxian made the decision and asked Yang Chengying to set up a literary museum in the name of the imperial court.
