The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 751 Yan Yingyuan

It is unrealistic for the local officials of the new territory "Hanjiang Province" to be completely recommended by the General Zhenglu.

The members of the cabinet and the six ministries bargained with Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong, Wu Xiang, the spokespersons of General Zhenglu, and other master negotiators in the court hall, and finally began to compromise.

The final result was that a small half of the officials were recommended by the General Zhenglu, and the imperial court must appoint more than half of the local officials who came from the two ranks of Jinshi.

Daming's work efficiency is not high, and it always takes a while to get to the bottom of it. Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong, Wu Xiang, etc. have long been used to it.

They were not in a hurry to go back, and they gathered with friends in the city that never sleeps all day long. Many civil officials were amazed to see Zhang Fengyi, who had relieved the burden of minister of the Ministry of War, seemed to be more active and more energetic.

All of a sudden, the imperial court had hundreds of thousands of real shortages, and the scholar-bureaucrats who ran away for official positions flocked to them.

This is not an exaggeration. The "Han River Province" has grown from scratch, and gradually transitioned from military control to civilian governance. It will really require hundreds of officials to govern.

This piece of land is huge, more than 22 square kilometers, the latitude is close to that of Jiangsu Province in later generations, and the area is more than twice as large.
No official is a fool, even Qingliu sees the opportunity to be an official in the freshly baked "Hanjiang Province".

Most of them had participated in the compilation of the "Chongzhen Dictionary". Although they didn't like Huang Han's way of intimidating the court, they all admired Huang Han's power of dominance and ability to calm the people and support the army.

Knowing more about Huang Han's military and financial resources, and knowing that "Hanjiang Province" has a "Red Banner Army" led by a general who conquered captives, tens of thousands of soldiers are safe and sound.

The newly born "Hanjiang Province" has experienced the baptism of war and is waiting to be rebuilt. It is a blank sheet of paper where the ambition of serving the country and the people can be realized. Hundreds of officials are striving to work in the "Hanjiang Province".

Wen Tiren was ready to retreat bravely. Seeing the general Zhenglu handing over the steps, of course he went down the donkey. He sent the memorial three times in a row to resign, and voluntarily asked to go to the Hanjiang Chengxuan Political Envoy to serve as the chief political envoy.

After pretending to stay twice, Chongzhen agreed to Shoufu's resignation for the third time, and appointed Wen Tiren as the first Zuobu political envoy of Hanjiang Chengxuan's political envoy.

Huang Han's request to transfer Lu Xiangsheng to the "Hanjiang Province" was rejected by Emperor Chongzhen, and Chen Qiyu was appointed as the inspector of the Hanjiang River, Sizheng and the third grade.

With the replacement of the chief assistant, the cabinet team had to be adjusted, and the emperor approved He Ruchong's memorial to retire.

Zheng Guochang, the father-in-law of General Zhenglu, also chose to retire bravely, and simply wrote a memorial to return home, but he did not get Chongzhen's approval for submitting three consecutive copies.

The refusal to release Zheng Guochang is not hypocrisy, but Chongzhen needs such a person to communicate with General Zhenglu.

Chongzhen's ten-year cabinet team is now headed by the first assistant Zhang Zhifa, and the cabinet ministers include Liu Zhilun, Zheng Guochang, He Fengsheng, Xue Guoguan, Liu Yuliang, Huang Shijun, Kong Zhenyun and so on.

Song Yingxing is just a teacher from the eighth rank, and has no outstanding points at all. How can he be a proper fourth rank magistrate?After the cabinet collegiately gave face to General Zhenglu, Song Yingxing was promoted to three ranks and became the seventh-rank magistrate of Hancheng County.

As for Yan Yingyuan, Feng Houdun, and Chen Mingyu, the three ordinary people were nominated to be appointed as officials of the fifth rank and the sixth rank, which is too child's play.

In the mountains of the new territory, there are foreign thugs, so the inspection department is indispensable. The special affairs office of the imperial court assigned three nine-rank inspectors to Hanjiang Province.

So far, the talents Huang Han most wanted to acquire had all become officials of the "Hanjiang Province" because they were penniless in Daming. I believed that as long as the "Red Banner Army" had a chance to deal with them, it would only be a matter of time before they assimilated them.

The Five-Year Ping-Liao Plan was hyped up by the "Red Flag Daily". Daming was almost a household name, and Yan Yingyuan, Feng Houdun, and Chen Mingyu, the three heroes who were full of enthusiasm for serving the country, were of course familiar.

It's just that they didn't expect that there would be joy from the sky, and suddenly they were visited by the county magistrate and magistrate himself.

The high-ranking Emperor Chongzhen would not spend time thinking about the officials named by the General Zhenglu, but the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom was studying them.

Many civilian and military generals are now not only trying to figure out the holy will, but also preparing lessons in advance to try to figure out the intention of the general who conquered the captives.

The three ordinary people were exceptionally promoted by the general who conquered the captives, and they appeared on the list of officials in the new territory "Hanjiang Province" at the same time as the chief assistant Wen Tiren, the feudal officials Chen Qiyu, and Lu Xiangsheng, which was enough to cause an uproar in the world.

Originally, the appointment of a regular nine-rank inspector would not be approved by the cabinet, and the inspector of ceremonies approved the seal of the red emperor, but because it was the same batch of officials as Wen Tiren, Chen Qiyu, etc., the new chief assistant Zhang Zhifa did it together.

Zhang Zhifa and Wen Tiren are close friends, and the reason why he has come to this day is not unrelated to Wen Tiren's support.

Wen Tiren went to the "Han River Province" to serve as the chief political envoy. Zhang Zhifa didn't know that this was the goodwill released by the general Zhenglu. Of course, he would make good use of the power of the chief assistant to satisfy the wishes of the general Zhenglu.

How could Yan Yingyuan have thought that when he could receive the imperial decree, the whole family panicked, but fortunately, Master Zhizhou and the accompanying officials were very modest and did not blame Yan Yingyuan for his disrespect.

But the questions from the next few parents and officials made the freshly released Monk Yan Xunjian Zhang Er puzzled.

Because he was very familiar with General Zhenglu, but he didn't know why General Zhenglu knew him, and why he specifically named him to be an official in Hanjiang Province?
It wasn't just that Yan Yingyuan couldn't figure it out, Huang Sifang, the head of the banner guard who came to report at that time, was also in a fog when Huang Han gave him the task of investigating Song Yingxing, Yan Yingyuan and other four people.

Huang Sifang considered himself the most confidant of General Zhenglu, and he couldn't even know why Huang Han thought of inquiring about these four people, and from what channel did he know that there were such people?So mysterious!
Seeing that Yan Yingyuan didn't seem to be deliberately concealing the truth, several local officials felt at a loss, but they all wanted to make friends with the general who conquered the captives, and gave Yan Yingyuan some rituals to help him take the whole family on the road.

This is Huang Han's unique approach. The reason is that the conditions in the new territory are difficult and the population is too small. All officials are required to take up their posts with their families.

Next, we will specially organize people to go to Gyeonggi, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces to attract investment.

With talents, capital, population, technology, relatively advanced laws and regulations, and a management that can maintain integrity for at least ten years, the prosperity of "Han River Province" is just around the corner.

Like Yan Yingyuan, Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu were also confused, but they were extremely excited. They were not only happy because they were given official positions by the court, but the biggest reason was that they were able to participate in the five-year Ping-Liao Dynasty and contribute to the country. sweat.
