Chapter 297 Entering Nanjing ([-])

Chen Yujie?
Liu Sheng felt that this name was quite familiar. He seemed to be one of the celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty, but he should not be famous, otherwise he would not be unable to remember his deeds.

After remembering this person's name, Liu Sheng asked some questions about Huang Ceku.

Chen Yujie answered one by one, obviously knowing the situation of Huang Ceku.

Later, Liu Sheng asked someone to arrange a boat to visit the warehouse on the island where the yellow books were stored.

He is not a member of the Zhu family who is easily soluble in water. He once served in the special forces and is also good at underwater combat.Of course, for safety reasons, the ship was still found and inspected by the guards.

Before boarding the ship, Liu Sheng said: "Deputy Envoy Chen will board the ship with Gu. Please introduce the situation of each warehouse in detail."

"Yes."

Chen Yujie did not refuse and got on the boat very cooperatively.

Most of the other officials showed envy, but a few showed disdain, probably because they couldn't stand Chen Yujie's behavior of "subduing thieves".

Liu Sheng saw that there were many small islands in the lake, as many as a dozen, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Are these islands in the lake all natural?"

Chen Yujie said: "Of course not. Some of them were built by Emperor Taizu Hongwu in order to store yellow books."

"How many archives are there on this island? How many pornographic albums are there?"

"There are now 960 bookstores on the island, with a collection of more than 170 million yellow books."

As a descendant, Liu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath when he heard these two numbers.

It can only be said that the Ming Dynasty is worthy of being the last Han feudal dynasty in history, and some systems have developed to the extreme of feudal society.

No wonder later generations called the Xuanwu Lake Huangceku a miracle in the history of world archives.

Immediately Liu Sheng felt pity.

The corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty meant that the ten-year update of the Yellow Book could not be implemented properly. Otherwise, he would be able to know the population situation of various parts of the Ming Dynasty through the Yellow Book records here.

After that, Liu Sheng probably visited the archives of various islands.

Under his inquiry, Chen Yujie told more about the library.

For example, the Lake Guan Office has more than 30 officials, and in addition there are more than 100 servants who are responsible for repairing warehouses, carrying books, rowing boats, cooking and other chores.

If the Office of Guanhu Lake needs to copy and dry yellow books, it will borrow people from the Imperial College to help.

There are also strict regulations on the management of the registry. Because there is no oil and water here and the matters are very important, some easy regulations are always strictly enforced.

Only the update of the yellow book originated from local county and government offices, so it was not strictly implemented as early as the middle and early Ming Dynasty...

After Liu Sheng finished visiting Houhuangceku, the Huben Guards, Shengjie Guards and three security regiments also arrived in Nanjing.

As for Zhang Guying, he was ordered to lead the second brigade and six security regiments to pursue Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo and others who had fled the Ming army.

There are also two guard regiments stationed in Jiangning Town and Dasheng Pass respectively.

Liu Sheng immediately rearranged the military garrison arrangements.

Naturally, the Guards and Guard Regiments were stationed in the Imperial City of Nanjing and were responsible for the defense of the Imperial City and the inner city.

The Yangtze River Navy was stationed in the former Nanjing Camp of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest, and was temporarily responsible for the defense of the outer city.

Because the Jingying garrison is closer to the riverside, you can reach the riverside through Dinghuaimen and Yihuangmen in the west, which is convenient for the Yangtze River Navy to board the ship as soon as possible.

As for the three garrison regiments, they were stationed at the Grand Campus near Jiamen Gate in the south to assist the Navy in the defense of the outer city.

At this time, you can see how big Nanjing is.

The Yangtze River Navy, plus the Guards, Guard Regiment, and three garrison regiments, totaling 8 people, jointly responsible for the defense of Nanjing City seems a bit insufficient!
Also because the city of Nanjing is so big, the rioters and civilians in the city could not be completely cleared until dark.

At night, Liu Sheng lived in the well-maintained Fengtian Hall and handled military and political affairs.Not long after, Li Weiqi arrived and handed over three pieces of information.

But after visiting Houhu, Liu Sheng asked Li Weiqi to investigate the family backgrounds, life histories and other information of Wang Duo, He Yingrui and Chen Yujie.

Among the three, Wang Duo had the most information, but Liu Sheng read it the fastest.

Wang Duo, a native of Hongdong County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, was a Qingliu, calligrapher, painter, and poet with almost no experience in serving in prefectures and counties.Although he is well-known in the literary world, he has done nothing in the officialdom.

This person is not suitable to be an official.

Liu Sheng shook his head and put down his information.

Next came He Yingrui, Minister of Industry.

He was a native of Caozhou, Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. He was born into an official family and became a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli (1610).

He has successively served as a pedestrian, county magistrate, household affairs minister, household department chief, magistrate, political officer, deputy capital envoy, and minister of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing. He has a rich resume.

He had considerable political achievements in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, and at the same time he was half a division away from Du Yinxi.

"This He Yingrui seems to have some ability, but he left today with his seal. Obviously he has no intention of serving our army for the time being."

Zhang Kuang said on the side: "If your Majesty is interested, I will visit you tomorrow and persuade this person to surrender."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly and said, "You come to the door first. You can't go alone."

In fact, Liu Sheng didn't think He Yingrui was very talented, but he also didn't think that visiting a talented person in person would cost him too much - he didn't have the burden of being a king yet.

Finally looking at Chen Yujie's information, Liu Sheng realized why he was familiar with this person.

It turns out that Chen Yujie is Xu Guangqi's nephew!

Chen Yujie, a native of Songjiang Prefecture, was a scholar and a graduate of Nanjing Imperial College.

Li Weiqi handed over only so much information, but Liu Sheng suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be influenced by Xu Guangqi, and was proficient in astronomy, as well as the casting and use of Western guns.

During the Hongguang Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, it seems that he helped Shi Kefa train musketeers and assisted in guarding Yangzhou City.

He doesn't remember much more.

Liu Sheng felt that the information given by Li Weiqi was too little and was not satisfied.

But he did not blame Li Weiqi.

Because Xunfengwei was mainly used to detect military intelligence, he temporarily asked these three people to investigate. Xunfengwei was able to obtain this information so quickly, which is already a good performance.

However, this incident made Liu Sheng realize that it was time to establish another internal intelligence system for administrative management.

After Li Weiqi left, Liu Sheng continued to handle military and political affairs.

It took less than half an hour to finish the process. Seeing that Zhang Kuang was still there, Liu Sheng asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you willing to serve as the prefect of Yingtian?"

"This..." Zhang Kuang hesitated for a moment, and then responded: "Wei Chen will do his best."

Liu Sheng walked down and said with a smile: "I know that Mr. Gu is interested in participating in military affairs, but there is indeed a shortage of administrative officials now, and Yingtian Mansion is very important. Only by leaving it to reliable people can I rest assured."

Zhang Kuang was somewhat moved when he heard that Liu Sheng regarded him as a confidant, and immediately expressed his stance: "I will definitely live up to the king's trust!"

Thinking of the shortage of administrative officials, Liu Sheng asked again: "Sir, do you think Zhang Shenyan and Ma Shiying can be used by our army?"

Before dinner, Zhang Kuang went to see Zhang Shenyan and Ma Shiying. At this time, he recalled their behavior when they saw him and said: "Ma Shiying has already decided to surrender. Now he should be holding on until he finds a step before surrendering.

As for Zhang Shenyan, he is a bit stubborn and may have a hard time changing his mind. "

　Second more.

　　Good night~
