Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 2927: Daqin's First Governor, Qingxu Governor Zhang Zifang
Chapter 2927: The First Governor of Daqin, Governor of Qingxu Zhang Zifang
Chapter 2923: Daqin's First Governor, Qingxu Governor Zhang Zifang
The reason why Zhang Liang is the most suitable person is naturally because most of the people in the three counties of southern Qing and Xuzhou are believers of the Ming Cult, and the predecessor of the Ming Cult is the Taiping Cult.
Although the name of the Taiping Sect was changed to the Ming Sect, its doctrine remained unchanged.
Even under the newly compiled Mingjiao doctrine of the Ming Dynasty, the three generals of heaven, earth and man during the Taipingjiao period were still the three great gods under Mingzun.
The system of the Ming Dynasty is different from that of all other countries. It is a state system that combines politics and religion.
As the King of Ming, Zhu Di was both a monarch and a leader of the Ming Cult, and the new doctrines of the Ming Cult were naturally completed under the leadership of Zhu Di.
Zhu Yuanzhang recompiled the Mingjiao canon when he was still alive, but it was axed by Ying Hao before he could finish it. The recompilation was not completed until one year after Zhu Di ascended the throne.
Based on the foundation laid by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di continued to revere the God of Heaven, the God of Earth and the God of Man as the three main gods of the Ming Cult, but he ranked Ming Zun above the other three gods.
The three Zhang Jue brothers are the reincarnations of the three main gods of heaven, earth and man. However, the reincarnation of Mingzun was changed from the first Ming Emperor Zhang Sheng to his father Zhu Yuanzhang.
The content of the new version of the Mingjiao scriptures is roughly like this: The three main gods, Tiangong, Digong and Rengong, reincarnated to the earth to save the world and wash away sins, but they are not strong enough, so they were defeated by the big man favored by the evil god. However, the three gods have another important task, which is to protect the reincarnation of Mingzun who has not yet grown up.
Ming Zun is the most powerful god in the teachings of the Ming Cult, surpassing all ancient gods such as Pangu, Nuwa, Taiyi, etc. As long as his reincarnation can grow up, he will be able to eliminate evil, easily complete salvation, and then return to the realm of gods.
However, the evil god in this life was too powerful, and there was a traitor (Zhang Sheng) among the gods, so that the reincarnation of Mingzun had not yet grown up before he was murdered by him and the reincarnation of the evil demon god Ying Hao. This is why Zhu Di, the reincarnation of Mingzun's eldest son, was given the task.
As for why after the death of the reincarnation of God of Heaven, the reincarnations of God of Earth and God of Man, who were supposed to protect Ming Zun, are now standing on the side of the demon god Ying Hao?
Zhu Di's explanation was that the two gods were bewitched by the evil god.
Zhu Di actually knew that religion was a double-edged sword, but given the situation he was facing at the time, using religion could allow him to quickly stabilize the internal situation, so he chose to swallow this bitter fruit that would sooner or later backfire.
In order to delay the backlash, Zhu Di has been patching his own settings. For example, the reincarnations of the two gods, Di Gong and Ren Gong, were all bewitched, which was one of the patches he made to himself.
As for why he didn't demonize Zhang Liang as a person, just like Hei Yinghao did?
Naturally, it was because Zhang Liang's status in the Ming Cult was too high. If Zhu Di demonized Zhang Liang, it would be destroying the sanctity of the Ming Cult's pantheon, which would be tantamount to shaking the core of the Ming Cult. How could he dig up his own foundation?
Ying Hao was so angry that he laughed after seeing the Mingjiao myth made up by Zhu Di.
He was not angry at Zhu Di for stigmatizing him. Zhu Di had a grudge against him for killing his father, so it was not excessive for Zhu Di to insult and demonize him.
Being able to give him the title of the reincarnation of a demon god, rather than some unlucky star, bad luck god, shit god or other disgusting gods, was already a sign of Zhu Di's good character.
What made Ying Hao angry was that the doctrine was so outrageous that no one with a bit of common sense would believe it. However, Zhu Di used this doctrine to trick most of the people in Xuzhou and Qingnan into becoming believers.
Although the new religious scriptures of the Ming Cult in the Ming Dynasty are a bit outrageous, the overall teachings are still inspiring and belong to the orthodox sect.
What is truly outrageous is the evil cults such as the White Lotus, whose doctrines are filled with extreme, chaotic, and depraved ideas, yet they are still able to prevail in the Central Plains and deceive wave after wave of ordinary people.
This made Ying Hao dissatisfied with those sects, and he also felt pity for the misfortune and anger towards the people who believed in the evil cults.
But on second thought, if this era was not too chaotic and desperate, leaving the people with no hope of survival, how could they be easily deceived by these sects?
Ugh……
Ying Hao sighed in his heart. He had a vague premonition that even if the Wei, Song and Ming Kingdoms were destroyed and the demon sect forces were driven out, the Central Plains would not return to peace.
The harm done to the Central Plains by the evil cult ideology is so serious that it will take a long time, or even a generation’s efforts, to govern the Central Plains again.
Once the pace of unifying the world is set, it will not stop, so the Qin army will definitely not wait for the Central Plains to completely submit before moving south.
This also means that when the Qin army continues to move south to destroy Shu and Chu, the Central Plains, which has not yet completely surrendered, may not only fail to provide much help, but may even tie up a lot of Qin army's military power.
Ying Hao had no solution for this. The only thing he could do was to reduce the influence of the Demon Sect as much as possible, and Zhang Liang was undoubtedly one of his pioneers in his fight against the sect.
Zhu Di did not stigmatize Zhang Liang and did not dare to destroy the sacredness of the Mingjiao gods, which instead gave Ying Hao an opportunity to take advantage of.
In the eyes of the Ming Cult believers in Qingxu, the three Zhang Jiao brothers were all reincarnations of gods who came to earth to save the suffering mortals like them. Even if Zhang Liang, a hero, was bewitched by the evil gods and chose to temporarily turn against Ming Zun, it was not something that mortals like them could change.
Therefore, if Zhang Liang, who was a general, was allowed to go to Qingzhou to serve as the governor, he would surely win the hearts and minds of a large number of Mingjiao believers, thus quickly restoring stability to Qingnan.
Of course, in addition to stabilizing the people's hearts, Zhang Liang also has a certain prestige in the hearts of those former veteran generals of the State of Qi. If Zhang Liang were to win over the Qi generals who were unable to be alienated even by Zhuge Liang's series of alienation strategies, there might be unexpected surprises.
"No, Zhang Liang cannot be the governor." After a little thought, Ying Hao discovered a fatal problem. Although letting Zhang Liang be the governor of Qingzhou would kill two birds with one stone, Zhang Liang, as the Minister of War, had a status second only to Prime Minister Wang Meng, and his political achievements over the years were also excellent. Sending him out to be the governor was not a promotion, but a demotion.
This was also the main reason why Ying Hao did not send Zhang Liang out to serve as the governor of Qingzhou at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Zhang Liang's status is too high. As the leader of the Ming faction of Qin, if he can no longer serve as an official in the court and is instead sent out to serve, what will the generals of the Ming faction think?
If you think that Ying Hao neglected or even suppressed the Ming faction, then you have a big misunderstanding.
Therefore, it is certainly possible to let Zhang Liang take up the post in Qingzhou, but the prerequisite is that he should not be demoted, and the weight of a governor's position is definitely not enough.
Above the Inspector is the Governor of a Province, but the Governor of a Province has too much power. This position has never been established in the Qin Dynasty, and it will not be established in the future, so naturally it cannot set a precedent.
The governor was not important enough, and the governor was not good enough either, which made Ying Hao feel difficult in appointing Zhang Liang. After all, the situation in Qingxu had almost reached the point where Zhang Liang was indispensable.
After some contemplation, Ying Hao decided to follow Zhang Jue's example and establish the post of governor.
The position of governor was very common in later generations, such as the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Governor-General of Zhili in the Qing Dynasty, but it never appeared in the Three Kingdoms period, so Zhang Jue in this world was the first to create this position.
The governor that Ying Hao was going to establish was different from the governor established by Zhang Jiao. Although he was also mainly responsible for the military and political affairs of many states, he weakened the military power and strengthened the political power. After all, the governor could not affect the military power of the grand commander-in-chief.
The governor's authority is greater than that of a provincial governor, so it naturally cannot be a permanent position. Instead, it is a temporary position established to deal with certain important matters. It will be revoked once the matter is resolved, thus avoiding the risk of power falling into the hands of others.
"My dear ministers, I have decided to establish the post of governor, and transfer the Minister of War Zhang Liang to serve as the governor of Qingxu, who will be specifically responsible for the political affairs of Qingxu and Xu states, as well as part of the military affairs..." Ying Hao ordered in a deep voice.
Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others naturally had no reason to object to this. After all, the complicated situation in Qingnan and Xuzhou had reached the point where Zhang Liang had to take action. Given Zhang Liang's identity, status and achievements, it would not be a good idea to let him serve as a governor. It was reasonable to establish a post of governor-general specifically for him.
"Your Majesty, since the Yellow Turban surrendered ministers can win the hearts of the people, why not choose one or two of them to be the prefects of the three Qingnan counties?" Jia Xu suggested.
Ying Hao was stunned when he heard this. It's not that he had not thought of this, but he felt that with Zhang Liang's ability, he alone would be enough to deal with it. However, he overlooked that finding him a few helpers would speed up the efficiency of Qin's digestion of Qing Xu.
However, the selection of the prefects of the three counties troubled Ying Hao. After all, the Ming faction of the Qin Dynasty had always been strong in military but weak in literature. Among the Yellow Turban civil officials who surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, except Zhang Liang and Feng Yunshan, he could not remember any other civil officials with outstanding abilities.
"What the Grand Tutor said makes sense. How about this? Feng Yunshan will be the governor of Qi County. As for Jinan and Le'an counties..."
Ying Hao thought about it and couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he asked Jia Xu and Guo Jia: "Do you two have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
After hearing this, Jia Xu was in a dilemma. Even though he was in charge of intelligence before, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while.
It's not that the Ming Dynasty had no civil officials to use, but that there were too many of them. However, most of them were people with mediocre abilities, such as: Gao Sheng, Wu Huan, Liang Zhongning, etc.
After these people surrendered, even though His Majesty gave them important positions, they were unable to seize the opportunities due to their own lack of ability, so they have not been able to make a name for themselves in all these years and could only be promoted based on their seniority.
The situation in Qingnan is so complicated and the position of prefect is extremely important, so naturally we cannot allow these incompetent people to take office.
Seeing that Jia Xu was in such a dilemma, Guo Jia was delighted and stepped forward to help him out. He said, "Your Majesty, I have been an undercover agent in the Yellow Turbans and I know them well. Feng Yunshan is more than qualified to be the governor of one county. As for the governors of Jinan and Le'an counties, I recommend Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Baiqi."
As the No. 1 Huangzi, Guo Jia once served as the strategist of Emperor Ming. Naturally, he understood the Ming faction more thoroughly than Jia Xu. Knowing that there were no two people in the Ming faction who could match Feng Yunshan, he simply recommended two military generals to Ying Hao to be prefects.
Ying Hao frowned upon hearing this and said, "Feng Xiao, these two are both military officials, and the situation in Qingnan is extremely complicated. Can they take on the important task of being the governor?"
“Your Majesty, the selection of the governors of the three Qingnan counties is more important in terms of their status in the Taiping Sect than their personal abilities.
Lack of administrative ability is not a big deal, it can be compensated by a few capable subordinates, but status cannot be compensated casually.
Feng Yunshan was once the right-hand man of Emperor Ming, and Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Baiqi were both his disciples. With these three serving as governors of the three counties in southern Qing, they will surely be able to assist Shangshu Zhang in stabilizing the situation in southern Qing."
After hearing what Guo Jia said, Ying Hao also felt that it made sense, so he made a prompt decision and ordered the transfer of Zhang Liang, Feng Yunshan, Zhang Baiqi and Zhang Niujiao to Qingnan to take up the posts.
Sizhou, Luoyang.
As the capital of the Qin Dynasty, even though the whole world was stagnant due to the war, and even became depressed and desolate, Luoyang alone remained as prosperous, lively and bustling as ever, with no sign of being affected by the war at all.
Zhang Liang, the Minister of War, had just returned home after finishing his official duties when he received an imperial decree from the palace, saying that the emperor had sent an imperial decree back from the front line, asking him to quickly enter the palace to receive it.
But Zhang Liang didn't seem surprised at all. He calmly told the butler to pack his bags, tidied his clothes and went into the palace. At the palace gate, he met Feng Yunshan and Zhang Baiqi, the guard of Luoyang East Gate.
