Chapter 299 Entering Nanjing ([-])

Although the governor's position conferred by Liu Sheng was two levels lower than Ma Shiying's previous governor's position, it was the governor of Nanzhili in the Wei region, which was of great significance. He suppressed his joy and accepted it happily.

"The humble minister will do his best to govern Nanzhili well and live up to the king's trust!"

Immediately, Liu Sheng chatted with Ma Shiying about how to govern Southern Zhili.

After Southern Zhili was divided by Liu Sheng, there were still ten prefectures and three states, namely: Yingtian, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Ningguo, Huizhou, Taiping, as well as Guangzhou, Chuzhou, and Hezhou.

After Ma Shiying learned about it, he said: "Your Majesty, these ten prefectures and three states are prosperous places. Even if they are not as vast as the former Nanzhili, I am afraid that more governors will be needed to divide and rule them."

Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "From now on, in our Kuei department, the governor will be the chief executive of a province. There will only be one in each province, so there won't be more than one.

However, the affairs of the Southern Zhili are complicated. In addition to the left and right chief envoys and the left and right councilors, there can be two to three more councilors in charge of government affairs. "

The Ming Dynasty's provincial council had no quota, but Ma Shiying had no doubts about this.

In addition, there was originally a political participation position between the chief envoy and the counselor in the Ming Dynasty, but the Ebu abolished it.

Because political participation is now an important position in the Government Affairs Council of the Ministry of Finance, Li Changwen, for example, in addition to serving as the governor of Henan, is also the general political participation of the Government Affairs Council.In the future, several people will be appointed to participate in politics and be in charge of various departmental affairs.

Ma Shiying thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, Southern Zhili needs at least four senators to take charge of regional government affairs."

"Oh?" Liu Sheng became interested, "How are these four regions divided?"

"Yingtianfu, Chuzhou, and Hezhou are one region, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou are one region, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Jiaxing are one region, and Ningguo, Huizhou, Taiping, and Guangzhou are one region."

"In other words, Southern Zhili needs four to six senators?"

"exactly."

"Mr. Ma, does he have any talents to recommend for the position of counselor?"

Hearing Liu Sheng's question, Ma Shiying first thought of Ruan Dayue, who had helped him reinstate him as the governor of Fengyang - not only because he and Ruan Dayue were good friends, but also because Ruan Dayue was in Nanjing.

But thinking that Ruan Dajue was a famous eunuch and had a bad reputation among officials, he gave up the idea abruptly.

As for other people who could be recommended, there were too many, but he was familiar with few in the area of ​​Nanzhili.

Then he thought about whether this was Liu Sheng's test to see if he had any tendency to form a party.

But if someone didn't recommend him, he was worried that Liu Sheng would misunderstand that he didn't want to recommend talents.

So he said cautiously: "Qian Qianyi and Qu Shichu from Changshu have both been declassified and dismissed from office. They may be able to use them together."

Liu Sheng frowned slightly after hearing this.

He did not expect that historical inertia would be so great.

Historically, when Ma Shiying was in power, he promoted these two people. Unexpectedly, now he would recommend this pair of masters and apprentices, only Ruan Dayue was missing.

Qu Shichun is nothing, but Qian Qianyi really doesn't like him - this person seems to be good at literary talent, greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for power. In the future, he will most likely be a pen writer or work in the Ministry of Etiquette.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng said: "Since these two people are from Suzhou, it is difficult for them to be officials in Nanzhili. I know Qian Qianyi a little bit. What is Qu Shishu's resume? You can tell me."

Ma Shiying said immediately.

Liu Sheng frowned again. He discovered that this historical figure who directly became the governor of Guangxi in Nanming had only served as a county magistrate once before, and then became a capital official.

As a result, he was attacked first by the eunuch party, and then by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru. In fact, he did not have much experience in governing local areas.

After listening, he said: "This man doesn't have much experience in governing the place, but he is upright. He can be recruited as an envoy."

When Ma Shiying heard that Liu Sheng didn't mention Qian Qianyi, he wisely stopped mentioning it.

Liu Sheng then looked at Zhang Kuang and asked, "What was the result of Mr. Zhang's visit to the Ming officials in the city today?" Zhang Kuang said, "Zhang Shen said that he could not get enough oil and salt, but he did not seek death. Although He Yingrui did not agree to serve in our Wei tribe, he also If you don't refuse sternly, you should be hesitant.

In addition, Huang Xixian, the former governor of Yingtian in the Ming Dynasty and the left minister of the Ministry of Industry of Nanjing, was also hesitant.

Originally Yingtianfu Yin Qi Fengji and Yingtianfu Prime Minister Shi Jinlan were both willing to surrender..."

Zhang Kuang spent most of the day visiting the main officials in Nanjing.

Among these people, the most hesitant officials like He Yingrui and Huang Xixian were the ones who returned home with official seals, followed by those who directly surrendered, and then those who refused sternly like Zhang Shenyan.

There are also a few people who can't think about it and commit suicide alone or with their whole family.

Liu Sheng still followed his past habit of not publicizing it and just buried it like an ordinary person.

Later, Liu Sheng asked about the resumes of Qi Fengji and Shi Jinlan, and found that they were just two ordinary officials who had probably been involved in corruption when they served in Yingtian Mansion.

Liu Sheng immediately called Li Weiqi and asked Xunfengwei to check the details of these two people.

Ma Shiying saw all this and immediately alerted himself.

'It seems that this man, like Ming Taizu, hates corruption very much. He will not be able to do things according to the rules of Ming Dynasty in the future. '

Ma Shiying himself is not very greedy, at least he shows some routine filial piety.But he has served in the local government for many years and knows that dealing with corrupt officials is indispensable, and sometimes he even has to live in harmony with others in order to survive.

For example, he was dismissed from office when he was governor of Xuanfu because he failed to handle this aspect well.

Now that he didn't have to pay attention to Ming's official rules, it made him feel relaxed.

After chatting with Ma Shiying and Zhang Kuang about the administrative affairs of Yingtian Mansion in Southern Zhili, Liu Sheng took a battalion of guards to the Northwest Military Camp (formerly the headquarters of the Beijing Camp).

The surrendered troops collected by the Yangtze River Navy after entering the city are now being reorganized there.

As for the rebels, most of them were killed yesterday, a small number escaped, and a small number were not guilty enough to die and were sentenced to hard labor. Sergeant Youwei supervised the cleaning of the city.

Zuo Liangyu's troops and other battalions surrendered, and together with the troops from the Nanjing Jing camp, there were more than 4 soldiers.

Guarding them would require a lot of troops, so Liu Sheng naturally hoped to complete the reorganization as soon as possible to free up the troops in the army and increase the available troops in the army.

Among them, most of the Nanjing Jingying soldiers did not meet the recruitment requirements of the Wei tribe. In addition, many soldiers had no intention of joining the army, so it is estimated that the most will be eliminated.

There were more than 2 soldiers in the Beijing camp, but only a few thousand remained in the end.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the various ministries originally attached to Zuo Liangyu were basically young and strong, and a considerable number of them were foreigners. It is estimated that many of them were willing to continue to serve as soldiers.

Liu Sheng took the guards to inspect, firstly to stabilize the morale of the army, and secondly to supervise the reorganization so as to complete the matter as soon as possible...

On the way from Nanjing to Maoshan, Hou Fangyu followed Hou Xun on horseback. Looking at the soldiers of the Shengjie Guards marching beside him, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Yesterday, when the Yi army entered the city, he hid at home and felt nothing.

Marching with the Shengjie Guard today, even though he didn't understand military affairs, he felt that this army was extremely elite and could not be compared to Zuo Liangyu's troops.

'Could the Yi army really be able to unify the country and change the dynasty? '

This thought couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

He also hesitated about what he was about to do.

After that, Hou Fangyu didn't have time to think about things, because the march was too tiring, especially the rapid march!
　Second more.

　　Good night~
