Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2054 Zhengguoben ([-]) Rooting Out
Under the operation of the emperor, the respectful king Li Yan not only expressed his full understanding of being granted the title of Yuzhou very obediently, but also thanked His Majesty the Emperor Ming for understanding his obsession with getting closer to Shenjing.

Of course, these are scene words.

With Zhu Yijun's awe of "being sealed in the Yue Kingdom", how could Li Yan dare to pick and choose the fiefdom, and it would be great to have a place to settle down.It is a blessing for the king who lost his country to survive, so why would he dare to ask for more.

However, at this point, I will talk about why Zhu Yijun called Li Yan to talk about the fiefdom today-because the major event of establishing a province in North Korea has basically been completed.

North Korean Governor Gu Yangqian, North Korean Governor Jang Zuozhi, and North Korean General Qi Jin have jointly signed a memorial, indicating that all preparations for the establishment of North Korea's province have been completed.

According to their report, in addition to the three major yamen of the three of them, the Governor, Fu, and Zhen, the three major yamen of the chief minister, the inspector, and the commander have all chosen their addresses. After selecting the auxiliary officials and assistant officials, we just wait for the imperial court to appoint the chief officials of the three divisions to take up their posts.

All of the above are handled according to the previous highly pragmatic design.The establishment of a province does not end with a governor, governor, and chief soldier. After all, the job arrangement of these three is only a "top-level design", and there are officials at all levels under it. Second only to the three important officials of the governor, fu, and town.

Below the third department, the chief officials of all provinces, prefectures, and counties have to arrange one by one. These things are now basically everything is ready, and it is only due to Dongfeng.

Dongfeng means that the Ministry of Officials sends officials to take office, and the so-called everything is ready means that their assistant officials have already arrived in advance.

Why can the auxiliary officials and officials arrive early?Because according to Gao Yushi's previous instructions and the later ratification of the court, at least for a period of time, in North Korea, except for the three governors, governors, and towns, all officials at all levels from the third division to the lower level were in accordance with the principle of "the chief official is selected by the Ministry of Officials". "Auxiliary officials and assistant officials are selected from the local area." This rule comes from the rule that when the chief officials at all levels take office, they only need to bring their masters and other aides - of course, it is your own business to bring your own servants.

There are two main considerations for Gao Yushi’s arrangement. One is to enrich the local yamen with a relatively large proportion of local officials and officials, so as to reduce the resistance of local Koreans to the new government; Smearing, even because of language and other issues, it is impossible to effectively form governance.

As I said before, the upper class in North Korea can basically know Chinese, but ordinary people may not necessarily know Chinese.Therefore, at least within a certain period of time, there must be a large number of Korean locals to enrich the government in order to form effective governance. Otherwise, government orders may not go out of the yamen, and "government" is turned into "rule without governance"-that is tantamount to wasting time.

Since the annexation of North Korea was chosen by the North Korean court itself, and its officials at all levels were basically very cooperative, and the main force of the Ming army remained in North Korea, so few people dared to jump out and make trouble.Up to now, the above-mentioned things have basically been done, and the remaining things can basically be regarded as finishing work.

Now that the most critical local tasks in North Korea have been completed in close proximity, Zhu Yijun must of course implement Li Yan’s own arrangements as soon as possible, so as to cooperate with North Korea’s establishment of a province, and prevent anyone from using him to question the direct rule of the Ming Dynasty. Korean legitimacy.

Of course, the above said that things are basically settled, after all, there is still a word "basic". In other words, there are still some things that need to continue.Therefore, after listening to the music, Li Yan resigned, and Zhu Yijun immediately sent an oral order to ask Wang Jiaping and Gao Wushi to come to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.

Originally, Zhu Yijun planned to go to the Wenhua Palace to announce that the two of them came to summon the couple, but the imperial doctors thought that the emperor just coughed up blood and fainted not long ago. Although he seems to be recovering well now, it is still not appropriate to walk around in the cold wind. So I had to excuse the two elders to walk a few more steps and come to the Qing Palace to face the Holy Spirit.

Gao Wushi didn't mind walking a few more steps, and Wang Jiaping's body was not bad, so after receiving the oral order conveyed by the supervisor of ceremonies, they set off together to face the saint.Speaking of it, the two of them were actually quite happy to have the opportunity to have a few words alone.

The two first exchanged a few words about the investigation of the Yikun Palace, and then quickly shifted the topic to the main purpose of today's meeting, which is the follow-up work of the North Korean side.

Wang Jiaping opened the mouth first: "Rixin, in your opinion, what other important matters need to be dealt with by the North Korean side?"

"After North Korea established a province, I foolishly thought that there were three major issues that were the most important." Gao Yushi, as the main promoter of North Korea's internal affairs, naturally had a plan for what to do after North Korea's establishment of a province, so he spoke with confidence and eloquence. talk.

"First, the normalization of the military structure... oh, I mean, the garrison plan should be fixed as soon as possible, so as to always ensure that the imperial court maintains enough deterrence against some opponents who may still exist in the local area, so that they can be photographed by our army. The military prestige does not dare to make mistakes easily."

Wang Jiaping nodded and said: "Rixin's words are very true. As the saying goes, barbarians are afraid of power but not virtuous. Although North Korea has long been a king, it cannot be regarded as a complete barbarian, but after all, it has ceased to be a familiar place for China since the Tang Dynasty. It is attached inside, and its heart is unknown, if there is no large army to deter it, it will be difficult to say that it is safe... I wonder what arrangements Rixin has for the army stationed in North Korea?"

What he said earlier is very suitable for the status of the first assistant, but the last sentence is somewhat... You are the first assistant, how can you ask the third assistant Gao Yushi "what is the arrangement", isn't this what you should arrange?

Of course, this is the truth, but Wang Jiaping is already weak in the cabinet. As for prestige, although it cannot be said that it is not without it, it is probably hard to say that it is more than a high level of pragmatism.In addition, now he has long believed that he is about to resign, and Gao Yushi is the inevitable candidate for the next chief assistant, so he doesn't think there is any problem with his question at all.

Gao Wushi always abided by his identity, and said first: "Yuanfu's words are serious, you are a pragmatic officer, how dare you make arrangements? It's just that I just returned to Beijing from North Korea, and I have some considerations about local affairs, and I am going to explain to Yuanfu."

Wang Jiaping was deeply relieved upon hearing this.

Of course he knew that Gao Yushi's words were just for show, but the problem was that when everyone in the court knew that Gao Yushi was about to become the chief assistant, he could still abide by his duty, and he didn't overstep the rules in his words, and he still treated him well. It's remarkable that I, the chief assistant who is already somewhat nominal, maintains respect. It can be said that he is not proud of his credit and is mature and prudent-although Gao Pragmatism is definitely a rare young man among the high-level court officials.

This kind of person attracts people wherever he goes, and Wang Jiaping is even more emotional. He feels that Gao Yushi can reach this point before he is in his forties. In addition to the shadow of three generations of chief assistants and his own academic achievements, this This kind of personality charm formed by always abiding by etiquette must also be the key to its success.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.Wang Jiaping laughed, waved his hands and said: "There is no need for Rixin, you have been the model of a man and minister in my dynasty for more than two hundred years, regardless of virtue or talent, you are called perfect, what do you think, just come out." The reason why Jiaping is asking is because he intends to cooperate with you when the emperor asks."

"Thanks to Yuanfu's absurd praise, I'm so frightened..." Gao Wushi was about to give an example, for example, that he was not as good as a former virtuous official in a certain aspect, but he saw Wang Jiaping waved his hands repeatedly, so he had to swallow his words back. Start talking about the business: "With regard to the garrison, at present, there are two aspects that need to be addressed."

"First, Qi Zongrong's field army. As far as it is concerned, all the troops under his command are the North Korean aid troops that have not been withdrawn, and there are still more than 14 troops in total. This army is naturally enough to deter North Korea. But they have been on the expedition for a long time, and each of them has been rewarded for their military exploits, so they will be homesick every day. They cannot stay in North Korea for a long time, and they must send another army to garrison.

Also, there is another problem here.Qi Zongrong is a newly promoted general soldier, and he was only a general before. Many generals in the current aid army were older than him.Some of the veterans of the Qi family army are fine. For the sake of Ding Haibo (Qi Jiguang), they will naturally not embarrass him, but those generals who have no friendship with Ding Haibo are hard to say...

Therefore, it is foolish to think that those soldiers not led by the generals of the Qi family army should be withdrawn first, and at the same time, some young generals with low prestige will be recruited from the country to North Korea to avoid discord between the generals. "

Wang Jiaping nodded and said: "That's right, what Rixin said is true. However, I don't know if Rixin has thought about it. Under such circumstances, the soldiers stationed by the imperial court cannot only be the Southern Army, but must be the Southern Army and the Northern Army. There are some, and the northern and southern armies often have conflicts...

Before and after Li Rusong's battle in Pyongyang, he almost caused a big mess because of the conflict between the northern and southern armies.Both Qi Jin and Li Rusong were born in the general family, and he is younger than Li Rusong, so don't cause any troubles at that time... Rixin, you must explain this to him clearly, and you must let him know the seriousness. "

What Wang Jiaping said was very clear. Of course, the army sent by the imperial court in North Korea could not only be the Northern Army, nor could it be the only Southern Army. The reason for this is very simple, and there is no need to say it explicitly.

However, the two armies of the North and the South often have conflicts, and how to balance them at this time has become a trouble for the generals.Generally speaking, it is necessary for the commander in chief to be able to make peace with each other, which is a test of how to behave.Generally speaking, older generals are better at doing this job, while young generals tend to use their own affiliation to protect their weaknesses, such as Li Rusong at that time.

But Gao Wushi was not worried, he smiled and said: "Although Qi Jin is a southern army, he is actually more like a northern general——Yuanfu thinks about it, he has spent most of his time in the army on nine sides , and the familiarity with the northern army is by no means comparable to that of ordinary southern generals. Of course, what needs to be explained will be explained in a pragmatic manner."

In fact, Wang Jiaping had never even met Qi Jin, but since Gao Wushi said so, Wang Jiaping believed in his vision and even more in his "confession".After all, Qi Jin has been under Gao Yushi's command for a long time, and it is impossible for him to dare to violate Gao Yushi's confession.

"Okay, what about the second one?" Wang Jiaping agreed.

"The second is the commander of the North Korean capital." Gao Wushi said: "The current commander of the Korean capital is concurrently held by Zhang Wanbang, the deputy general.

Wang Jiaping nodded, he knew this.Zhang Wanbang was not only highly pragmatic, but also made several important contributions. Although his command was infantry, he was a model army of "controlling cavalry with steps" in the Ming army.And in this battle to aid Korea, he quelled the Quanli Rebellion, and was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief.

However, Wang Jiaping didn't know Gao Yushi's intention of emphasizing this point first, so he couldn't help looking at Gao Yushi with some doubts.

Gao Wushi faced Wang Jiaping's puzzled eyes calmly, and said, "Whether it's Qi Jin or Zhang Wanbang, keeping them in North Korea is actually not just to frighten the local people in North Korea. There is one more thing that Yuan Fu must remember... ...Jurchen moved the town."

"Oh! Yes, yes, there is also the matter of Jurchen moving to town...but what does this have to do with Qi Jin and Zhang Wanbang?"

Gao Yushi said seriously: "It's not that I'm being pragmatic and conceited. At present, there are two strong Jurchens, one is Ye He, and the other is Jianzhou. Ye He obeys me, and Jianzhou fears me.

The two generals, Qi Jin and Zhang Wanbang, both lived in Liaodong for a long time. Ye He and Jianzhou knew both their bravery and pragmatism behind it, so they partnered with each other in North Korea to make the Jurchen ministries dare not take advantage of the chaos. Let's fight, and wait for them to settle down in their own places, so that they can be used by me after a long time. "

"So that's the case." Wang Jiaping nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Then what does this have to do with the capital?"

Gao Wushi said: "The capital division should have been formed from the local military households, but North Korea has no military households in its own dynasty, and it is not easy to allocate them suddenly, so we have to take other measures."

"What kind of measures?" Wang Jiaping intuitively felt that these measures might be very different from the state system, so he couldn't help but look a little cautious.

Gao Wushi said: "Half of them are newly compiled by domestic military households who lost land, and half are drawn from the Jurchen ministries."

Wang Jiaping almost thought he heard it wrong, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Is it transferred from the Jurchen ministries?"

The so-called army of the capital is actually the army of the guards. Although this system has long been dilapidated, it is the foundation of the military system of the Ming Dynasty no matter what.Now Gao Yushi suggests that half of the North Korean capital should be reorganized from domestic military households that lost land, and half should be drawn from the Jurchen ministries. Although the former may have some troubles at the implementation level, at least it is no problem in principle, but the latter is too earth-shattering. up.

Wang Jiaping looked at Gao Yushi in shock, and said, "Jurchen barbarians! They are not of my race, so their hearts must be different, how can they be used in the guard?"

However, he never expected that Gao Yushi said: "If the imperial court always regards Jurchen as a barbarian, a generation who's not my race, his heart must be different", then no matter how much Jurchen convinces me and fears me, she will always be the only one. If you can be a Yidi, you can only stay outside the court forever, and you will never be your own person."

Gao Wushi raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "The Jurchen family is only a few hundred thousand, and after being moved to North Korea, it is even more lonely and lonely. There is no other way to go except for my heart. Such a good opportunity, how can we tolerate mistakes?" However, this is the opportunity to completely subdue them... If the strategy is right, it is foolish to think that after a hundred years, there will be no Jurchen clan in the world."
