The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132 The Governor of Suncheon
Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, I think that the soldiers in Liaozhen are arrogant and unruly. It is advisable to transfer the Dongjiang soldiers to Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and divide the troops from outside the pass to Jimen to prevent accidents."

Sun Chengzong said: "The Dongjiang River is used for containment, but it is not based on its territory. If it is moved to a key point, it will be enough to contain it. And it is for border defense. It is not appropriate to use all Liao soldiers in Liaozhen. Things will change over time, and it is better to prevent them from the beginning. "

Zu Dashou ran away quietly with [-] to [-] people from Liao Town, didn't Chongzhen hold grudges in his heart?

But he had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept Zu Dashou's explanation that he was coerced by his subordinates to return to the north.

The two important ministers Sun Chengzong and Liang Tingdong both proposed to prevent problems before they happen. Of course, Chongzhen acquiesced, and it was imminent to transfer some Liaozhen soldiers to mix sand again.

It had only been three days since the Houjin army went northward after offering sacrifices to their ancestors in Liangxiang. Chongzhen felt extremely aggrieved. The enemy seemed to be strolling outside the capital city, but Daming could only choose to watch helplessly, and was unable to launch an active attack.

He asked in a reproachful tone: "Dong Nu has been rampant in the capital for several months, why can't my Ming Dynasty launch a decent counterattack? What's wrong with my Daming?"

Seeing that the emperor's face was not looking good, Liang Tingdong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in fact, our army is already in the middle of a counterattack. This morning, I received another good news from Zunhua. Liu Zhilun, Huang Han, Ma Shilong and others gathered cavalry to complete a surprise attack. You have to get close to five hundred."

Chongzhen actually stood up when he heard the words, and he asked, "When and where is this victory over Dongnu? Has Liang Aiqing ever verified the authenticity?"

Liang Tingdong breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: Fortunately, Liu Zhilun and Huang Han have gained again, otherwise, how can he, the minister of the Ministry of War, refute the emperor's complaint today?

He said: "Your Majesty, I dare not be careless. I have personally inspected the heads and waist cards one by one. They are all young and strong. Among them, there are nearly a hundred Dongnu armored soldiers, more than a hundred string-controlling Tartars, and two bannermen. More than a hundred.

This time Liu Zhilun, Huang Han, Ma Shilong and others raided a small town called Luojiazhai where Jiannu was stationed.He also rescued [-] to [-] people of our Ming Dynasty who were kidnapped by Dongnu."

Hearing that the Ming army had recaptured many ordinary people, Chongzhen said happily: "It's Liu Shilang and Huang Shoubei who have made great achievements again. This time, I will reward them properly. Liang Aiqing quickly discussed with the cabinet to come up with the regulations."

Liang Tingdong said: "I obey the order."

Chongzhen said: "Master Sun, the troops from Liao Town have already entered the customs, and the troops from all walks of life are also arriving one after another. Now it's time to recover the lost land. I ask Master Sun to go to the supervisor without hesitation."

Sun Chengzong also knew that Liao Town's people were not stable at present, so he could only buy his old face, he said: "I obey the order."

Liang Tingdong said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Yacha has been paying attention to the situation of the battle, and I think I can order a part of his supervisor to wait for an opportunity to recapture Yongping."

Zheng Guochang is a senior member of the third rank and the same rank as the governor, and he is qualified to be a supervisor. Moreover, he has the credit for recommending Huang Han and his son.

Chongzhen agreed to Liang Tingdong's recommendation, and it was up to the Ministry of War to decide who should be handed over.

Zheng Guochang should have been promoted to Shanxi Youbu Zhengshi before Yongping Mansion was breached, but Zheng Guochang failed to take office due to the establishment of slaves and the invasion of the bandits.

With the approval of the emperor through the cabinet collegiality, Zheng Guochang was changed to be the right chief envoy of Beizhili, and he was a second-rank official.In addition to the North Zhili and the South Zhili, the Ming Dynasty was designated as the thirteen chief envoys, commonly known as "two capitals and thirteen provinces".

The two capitals and the thirteen provinces all set up the Department of Chengxuan, which is the highest institution at the provincial level. From the second rank, one to the left and one to the right, they are the largest local officials in the Ming Dynasty, only one level lower than the six ministers. One level higher than the governor.

Zheng Guochang was the thigh that Huang Han planned to hug tightly. Now this person not only did not die because of his own changes, but also became one of the largest local governors in Beizhili. It seems that Huang Han will get a lot of benefits in the future.

On April [-]th, the city of Zunhua ushered in angels again, and all the generals who participated in the attack on Luojiazhai were at least promoted to the first rank.

Liu Zhilun's rank is still the same, but his third-rank right servant of the Ministry of War is just a false title, and he can't manage the affairs of the Ministry of War at all. This time he got the actual position of Governor of Shuntian.

The former governor of Daming Shuntian was Wang Yuanya. He committed suicide and died for the country when the Jin army broke through Zunhua after November last year. Now this position is vacant, and Liu Zhilun, who has made many achievements, is now cheaper.

In the Ming Dynasty, the official position of the governor was also a third-rank official, but the power was relatively large. He was in charge of the army and the people, had the power of life and death, and evaluated the performance of local officials.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the provincial system, and a province was divided into the Commander Division, the Procuratorate Division, and the Procuratorate Division.

After the year of Xuande, six ministries and ministers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were sent to supervise the local administration in the name of the governor and governor. Of course, the purpose was to strengthen the centralization of power.

Therefore, the governor is actually not a local official, but directly under the central government. At that time, some governors had one governor per province, and some governors had several governors per province.

For example, there are three governors in North Zhili, the governor of Shuntian is based in Zunhua, the governor of Baoding is based in Zhending, which is now Zhengding, Hebei, and the governor of Xuanfu is located in Xuanfu Town, which is later Xuanhua, Hebei.

Now Liu Zhilun, who has a good relationship with Huang Han, has become the governor of Shuntian, which will certainly benefit the future development of the "Red Banner Army". Besides, Liu Zhilun came from a poor family and has the ambition to serve the country.

Huang Han is still Yongping's garrison, but it has become a part-time job. He has an extra professor and has become the third-rank Funing Guard Commander.

Funing Weicheng is located in the northwest of Funing County. It has been in disrepair and dilapidated for a long time. When the Hou Jin army besieged Funing County last time, the Weicheng was abandoned. Huang Han had no way of knowing if there was a commander there.

Anyway, Huang Han went to Funing a few times and didn't see the officer of the guard. It stands to reason that besides the commander of the guard, there should be two Tongzhi from the third-rank commander, four commanders from the fourth-rank commander, and two Fuguan from the fifth-rank town. People and several Zhengwupinqianhu and so on.

It's possible that this guardhouse has been abandoned, but Huang Han doesn't care about it. A blank sheet of paper is better. With an official position, he can promote the heroes of the "Red Banner Army" to the top, and everyone is happy.

Since Funing is only 120 miles away from Shanhaiguan, Daming had the experience of being attacked by the Hou Jin army this time, so he paid more attention to the defense system at this time.

Huang Han led the "Red Banner Army" and made a name for himself. He is already in the heart of the emperor. Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Ministry of War, does not want this army to be assimilated by Liao Town, so he is not going to order the "Red Banner Army" to leave the customs.

After discussing with Zheng Guochang, he chose Funingwei, which is very close to Shanhaiguan and not far from Yongping Mansion, for Huang Han to station.

The intention of this arrangement is obvious, Shanhaiguan can pull out the "Red Banner Army" to fight the fire at any time, and Yongping Mansion can quickly come to help Huang Han if there is an emergency.
