Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1053 Returning to Dongchang Fort

Of course, the dignified governor returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Of course, he didn't mean to leave immediately. There must be arrangements for government and military affairs.Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has always had a traditional system of pilgrimage every three years. During the period when the corresponding officials return to Beijing to report on their duties, the affairs in charge of them are usually temporarily replaced by the second official.

However, the governor is an exception, because the governor itself is not the "management officer" set up by Zhu Yuanzhang. In theory, he is just a dispatcher, so the governor does not actually have the setting of the second official.

But a living person cannot be suffocated by urine. Although the governor does not have a second official, at least he has important colleagues and subordinates. Therefore, generally speaking, before the governor returns to Beijing, he will assign all kinds of powers to the guarding eunuch, eunuch, etc. Zongbing and others.

Generally speaking, the daily affairs of the place where Fuyuan is located are entrusted to the guarding eunuch, and the chief soldier is in charge of military affairs.But at the same time, the most important subordinate under the governor's jurisdiction, Bingbeidao, still retains considerable power. They are solely responsible for various powers within the jurisdiction, just like the governor in the province, and even in military affairs, they also have The right to refuse the request of the commander-in-chief at the appropriate moment.

As I said before, the setting up of the military preparation system itself is the result of civil servants checking and balancing the general army and supervising the general army. Therefore, it does not mean that the general army can rely on military power to run rampant without the governor.

Similarly, the administrative power of guarding the eunuch is only a greatly weakened version of the governor. His actual administrative area is only the place where there is no military road-in short, it is the Liaoyang area (plus the Liubao area of ​​Kuandian), and even Guangning It doesn't matter.

Because although Guangning is the headquarters of the Liaodong General Army, Guangning also has civil servants. There is a "sub-patrol of Liaohai Road and management of Guangning and other places to garrison soldiers and participate in politics", so Guangning's government affairs are under his control.

As for the supervisory power, it is still divided between the military and the military, and the guarding eunuch is only temporarily supervising the Liaoyang area on behalf of the governor, and Daming attaches great importance to the supervisory power. I can't make a decisive decision, I can only help the governor to record it, and I have to wait for the governor to come back and then investigate and deal with it in detail.

In addition, there is a special situation in Liaodong, that is, the chief soldier and the deputy chief soldier guard two large areas of Liaoxi and Liaodong. It is responsible for other areas east of the Liaohe River.

Since there is a system, let's follow it and implement it. Gao Pragmatic wrote a few official letters and private letters, divided his power after returning to the capital and delegated it to the relevant officials, and then set off for the capital with Huang Zhiting.

Gao Yushi still chose to take the water route first, and took a boat directly from Liaoyang to Taizi River to Liaohe River. His goal was to go straight to Niuzhuang Mayi, which belongs to Dongchangbao.As for why he didn't go to Yingkou and took the fastest sea route - Zhu Yijun said last time that he was not allowed to take the sea route to avoid accidents, so after arriving at Dongchang Fort, he had to go back to land.

When the group arrived at Dongchang Castle, Zhang Wanbang thought he was a direct descendant of Gao Pragmatic, so he naturally worked hard to entertain them, and it was a joy to kill pigs and sheep.

Gao Yushi is a person who can drink but not addicted to alcohol. He doesn't usually drink alcohol, but he is more tolerant of the toasts of generals during the banquet. He almost always refuses toasts - of course, the difference in status is here, it must be toasts He took a sip of boredom, and the old man took a sip to express his meaning.

Zhang Wanbang was most surprised and uncomfortable during the banquet, that was, there was a woman sitting on the second seat next to Futai.

From Zhang Wanbang's point of view, according to Daming's habits, it is rare for men and women to sit together, especially for a senior high school student, even if he is dining in his own mansion, he should be the only woman who can sit with him His mother and his wife.

This "Deputy Envoy Huang" seems to be an exception, and Zhang Wanbang felt a little regretful: I knew that she had such a great position in front of Futai, and when she passed by Dongchang Castle not long ago, I really should have behaved more thoughtfully. .

Zhang Wanbang's fighting skills are not bad, especially after learning the style of fighting developed by Gao Yushi and Qi Jiguang, he has already won two consecutive big victories, "Shangda Tianting".However, there are many generals in the Ming Dynasty who can fight. Even famous generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang have to find a backer in the court, let alone Zhang?Therefore, when the direct lineage belongs to the direct lineage, it must not be tender-hearted when it is time to flatter.

It was getting late today, and Gao Wushi was going to stay overnight in Dongchang Fort temporarily. After Zhang Wanbang had drunk enough, he slipped out quietly under the pretext of helping Gao Futai arrange a place to stay.

Arranging accommodation and so on, in fact, has been done a long time ago, and he came out because of other important matters-to ask the high-level servants to inquire about the origin of Deputy Envoy Huang.

Of course Zhang Wanbang knew about the title of Deputy Envoy of the Annan Tribute, but it was meaningless to know this. He wanted to find out more inside information.

Gao Jiajia Ding is supervised by the Jinghua Internal Affairs Department. According to the discipline, it may be the strictest in Ming Dynasty. The relationship itself is not a secret, at least within Jinghua, they have not received an order to keep it secret, so it doesn't hurt to tell Zhang Wanbang.

Under Zhang Wanbang's deliberate wooing and flattery, several servants slowly opened up the chatter box, telling each other some stories about Gao Wushi and Huang Zhiting in Guangxi and Annan.

There was even a sassy talker who winked and said: "Young General Zhang, think about it, how can there be a girl like our master who doesn't miss it when she sees him? Needless to say, the guard of Huang Zhen, he just went out in Guangxi The famous beauties, the two of them traveled thousands of miles, this lonely man and widow... Tsk tsk!"

Zhang Wanbang was also dumbfounded when he heard it, and another coquettish No. [-] appeared next to him, and hurriedly continued: "Yes, yes, we often talk about this in private. Think about it, when the envoy Huang was beating Annan , especially in the battle of Lang Son, that was really relentless—you said that if an ordinary chieftain would work so hard?

Not to mention later, she is the most supportive of our master's chieftain's plan to move the town. If she hadn't taken the lead, I don't think it's hard to say whether Mr. Cen Qi would agree to move the town.Judging from this situation, we are afraid that sooner or later we will have to change our name to Madam. "

Zhang Wanbang didn't care about whether Gao Wushi and Huang Zhiting had acted beyond ordinary friendship during their journey together, he just thought that he had missed a great opportunity to show his loyalty last time, he couldn't help but feel regretful, and hurriedly pondered how to redeem it.

And another family member Ding said: "I guess the guardian Huang is actually quite anxious. After all, our master may not be in a hurry to start a family, but she is a girl. She can't just wait around forever, can't she? Otherwise, this time I will go to Beijing to pay tribute After that, why did you come to Liaodong on purpose? You said it was to discuss matters related to maritime trade, but in fact, you didn’t miss our lord..."

"Hey! Er Huzi, you motherfucker, shut the door and stop yelling nonsense." A team leader hastily interrupted: "If the envoy Huang Zhencheng really becomes a wife in the future, I will know what you are today. These words, I see where you are going to cry."

The servant known as Erhuzi shrank his neck, smiled dryly and stopped talking.

Zhang Wanbang laughed and smoothed things over: "Hey, it's just a casual chat between us, who would talk about this kind of thing outside? Don't kill me?"

That being said, there was no way to continue the conversation when we got to this point, so Zhang Wanbang said a few words and left with an excuse.

On the other side, after the dinner party, Gao Wushi came to the yard arranged by Zhang Wanbang with Huang Zhiting, and suddenly said with a smile, "This kid Zhang Sanxi is a little restless."

Huang Zhiting turned to look at him in surprise: "What?"

Gao Wushi pointed at the yard, and said with a half-smile: "A yard, where we live together?"

Huang Zhiting was startled for a moment, and then understood Zhang Wanbang's meaning, blushing and said: "No, you go and tell him that you need a yard."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Forget it, Dongchang Fort is a frontier defense fort, and it's only this big in total. You can see for yourself where there are other yards? Actually, I've been to this place before, and this yard is for defense. Yes... He probably got the news that I was coming, so he moved out early. If you have to build another yard, then we have to go south for more than 20 miles to Niuzhuang. The official post there is quite big. After the inn reform, you can spend money to stay.”

When she heard that she had to go for more than 20 miles, Huang Zhiting stopped talking, but after a while she found that Gao Yushi hadn't said anything, so she turned her head to look, but saw that Gao Yushi was still looking at her with a half-smile, and couldn't help saying annoyed: "A yard is a yard, not just one room."

As she said, she walked towards the west room with some anger.

Gao Wu said with a smile behind his back: "Why don't you live in the north room?"

Huang Zhiting said without turning her head: "Forget it, this is Liaodong. You are the landlord and I am the guest. I dare not break the rules and be judged by others."

Gao Wushi chuckled, but he was not very polite, and gave instructions to the people behind, and the four servants went in to check first—this is the security rule set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even though Gao Wushi is considered to be in the "military" now, There are no exceptions.

He himself called Huang Zhiting to stop, walked up to her, and said, "It's just getting dark, it's too early to rest now, let's talk first."

Huang Zhiting had a better understanding of Gao Yushi now, and asked after hearing the words: "Are you still wondering why the emperor is in such a hurry to call you back to Beijing?"

"It must have something to do with the current situation, needless to say." Gao Yushi frowned: "What I don't understand is that even if the emperor thinks that I am more familiar with the situation in southern Xinjiang, Guangxi and Yunnan are not the same place after all. It stands to reason that if you are familiar with Guangxi, you may not be familiar with Yunnan. At this time, he called me back to Beijing, is it really just to ask about the war in southern Xinjiang?"

In fact, he still has some reservations about what he said, because according to the original historical situation, the Ming court did not pay much attention to the Ming-Myanmar war that took place in Yunnan. Zhu Yijun recalled his newly appointed governor simply because of this incident It is really unreasonable to ask policy.

Huang Zhiting said: "Who knows, maybe it's not about this? Hmm...or maybe I'm asking you to borrow money."

Gao Wushi was taken aback when he heard that: "Borrowing money? Not enough military pay?"

Does Zhu Yijun want to fight in Yunnan?It shouldn't be, the treasury of the imperial court has been emptied, and Ming Dynasty is not a European country, how can it have the habit of borrowing money to fight wars?Besides, Zhu Yijun rejected his own proposal to lend him money last time.

"It's not military pay." Huang Zhiting said: "When I left Beijing, everyone in the capital was concerned with the affairs of King Luo Lu's Kingdom. It is said that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter of King Lu's Kingdom. 7+ taels... But I also hear it from hearsay, there are many rumors outside.

In addition, King Lu's granting of land and the cost of building the palace were also a hot topic. I heard that he had arguing with the Ministry of Households several times. Da Si Nong (Shangshu of the Ministry of Households) asked to resign four times, but the emperor may not be sure. "

Gao Wushi frowned slightly.

He and Zhu Yijun talked about this series of things in King Lu's Kingdom last time, but they didn't discuss it in depth.

Judging from Zhu Yijun's statement, his great reward to King Lu was mainly based on political considerations rather than economic considerations.Although the Empress Dowager Cisheng returned to power, it was not long after all. Although Zhu Yijun's high pragmatism won a big victory in Monan and improved his prestige, in the final analysis, the time in power was still too short.

Names and status are relatively stable in Ming Dynasty. There is nothing to doubt about this. The emperor is the emperor.

But prestige is something invisible and intangible. It’s hard to say. Emperor Jiajing’s strategy is enough. A group of ministers and elders were treated like dogs, but in the end they were not forced by Hai Rui to "overwhelm the world, Your Majesty has not been straight for a long time." "?What's even more amazing is that he really didn't dare to kill Hai Rui.

So in the final analysis, "name" is a very magical attribute in Daming. The higher the status, the more you pursue this thing.

Zhu Yijun may have hoped to use the Lu Wangzhiguo incident to establish a perfect elder brother image of "brothers and brothers respectful" for himself, and also completely stifled the hope of the Empress Dowager Cisheng intervening in the government.

But the problem is that the imperial court really has no money, and this scene is in danger of being unable to continue.

The Battle of Monan, the Battle of Liaonan, and the recent Liaodong "market plan", after the three rewards, the Ministry of Household Affairs may have really run out of money, but Zhu Yijun's internal funds are not very rich— - Part of this matter is to be blamed on Gao Yushi, who persuaded Zhu Yijun to evacuate Huangzhuang all over the place.

The image of a perfect elder brother, it is difficult to achieve success just by saying a few beautiful words at ordinary times. This must rely on spending money. The more he spends, the more he can show that he, an elder brother, cares about his younger brother—although this is superficial, but People in the world follow this set, because it is the most direct expression.

And the reason why this point is related to Queen Mother Li's last chance to intervene in politics is because Zhu Yijun is already in charge after all, and only the matter of King Lu's country can be related to Queen Mother Li. Once Zhu Yijun is beautiful, King Lu will send him away Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Li can't find anything wrong with it, so there will be nothing else related to her in the future—since it has nothing to do, naturally there will be no chance to speak. It slowly disappeared.

Seeing Gao Wushi pondering for a long time, Huang Zhiting couldn't help but said: "I'll just say it casually, don't take it too seriously... Do you think so deeply about everything?"

Gao Wushi was about to answer when Zhang Wanbang hurried over and said, "Futai, Uncle Ning Yuan is here!"
