Jinyi Night Walk

The hundreds of officials that Zhu Di sent to Xia Xun this time, Yi Anling, Huang Zhen, Zhang Rantong and others are just representatives

Gu Zhou is very familiar with all ethnic groups in Liaodong, especially the leaders of the Jurchen and Goryeo clans in the Changbai Mountain area. In the past, under his careful management, most of them had some friendship.Most of these tribes used to be attached to North Korea. North Korea took advantage of these tribes to seek refuge and continued to infiltrate the inland of Liaodong. They have maintained considerable tolerance and restraint for their penetration and encroachment.

Using this period of time, North Korea crossed the Tumen River and controlled many Jurchen tribes. These Jurchen tribes and the land they settled were indirectly equal to North Korea's sphere of influence.Now that these tribes intend to seek refuge with Da Ming, Da Ming certainly welcomes them, but it is always not pleasant to say that poaching people's corners is harmful to the country's system.

Xia Xun wanted to use this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and promote their attachment, but he didn't want to teach others.In fact, before their attitude became clear, too many official contacts were made. In this case, a secret envoy was needed, and Gu Zhou was a suitable candidate.When Xia Xun rushed to Liaodong, he thought about transferring him and using his familiarity with Liaodong to help him.

Now that Gu Zhou is here, he just asked him to do this. After some advice, Gu Zhou took dozens of his subordinates and a sum of funds for the activity, and rushed to his main activity place outside the customs as a visitor." He went to Changbai Mountain and started his secret tandem journey.

Yishiha is an eunuch next to Zhu Di. He is a Haixi Jurchen. He was transferred to Liaodong. No matter what achievements Guzhou has made, when official personnel are needed to negotiate, they still need to mediate and maintain the Liaodong Jurchen tribe and the Liaodong government. Because of his status, he was more likely to be accepted by those ethnic minorities, so Yi Shiha was sent to Liaodong and appointed a guard post. His actual function was equivalent to the director of the Liaodong Ethnic and Religious Administration.

Yi Shiha is not just one person, he also brought some former Yan Palace guards. These former Yan Palace guards were the daughters of Zhu Di, the leader of the Jurchen Huligai Department, who were married as side concubines when Zhu Di was King Yan. The dowry that I brought over at that time has been with Zhu Di for many years now.He took these people, and the first one he was going to fight for was Aha.

The Huli Gai Department was originally one of the [-] households in the Yuan Dynasty. After the Yuan Dynasty lost its ruling power in the Central Plains, the Hu Li Gai Department changed its attachment to North Korea and paid tribute to North Korea. Now the control power of Ming Dynasty in Liaodong is strengthening. The Jurchen tribe, who was an official in North Korea, wanted to join them. If he took advantage of the relationship between Ahachu and Emperor Yongle's son-in-law to win him over, Gu Zhou would be able to do the work of other tribes with half the effort.

Of course, Xia Xun welcomed the arrival of such a competent person with 12 points.

Zhang Xitong took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Liaodong. Xia Xun was determined to establish Confucianism in Liaodong. At the beginning, the conditions were limited, and he only taught the children of tribal leaders in Liaodong and the children of Liaodong military officers. Shi Wanghua education.It is necessary for the court to send some cultural and educational officials over.

In the eyes of most people in the Central Plains, Liaodong is still a barbaric and backward uncivilized place. It is a place where exiled prisoners should go. Not many people are willing to come here, but Zhang Xitong is an exception.He has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and now he is just a minister.What kind of guy is that Huang Zhen? divine speed.

The last time Fuguogong Yang Xu married the little princess of the Zhongshan Palace, he was the master of ceremonies. He thought that he and Fuguogong had a little bit of love, and now he volunteered to go to Liaodong to work for him, even if it lasted for a few years. Bitter, with this qualification, Duke Fu will not treat him badly. When the time comes, he will be recommended to return to the court. If he can't be the Minister of Honghe Temple, he can be a Honghe Shaoqing, right?

So, Master Zhang packed up and volunteered to go to Liaodong to popularize culture and education.

As for Huang Zhen rushing to Liaodong with the honor of the imperial envoy of the capital, he reciprocated.

For Xia Xun's many actions to change the ancestral system in Liaodong, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has some criticisms. Some imperial envoys headed by Chen Ying have to impeach with a memorial from time to time. Zhu Di is forced by public opinion and needs to send someone to Liaodong to supervise government affairs.Huang Zhen volunteered and took the job.Chen Ying was the Imperial Envoy of the Left Capital, Wu Youdao was the Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital, and he was next, the third in command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He took the initiative to ask to come to Liaodong. Is there anyone more suitable and qualified than him?As a result, Chen Ying's wishful thinking happened to be on this last one. Although he managed to fight for it, he sent a few envoys from his faction, but Huang Zhen was the person in charge. With him here to maintain, those envoys The buzzing sound is very difficult to have any influence on Xia Xun.

"Duke, when the next official comes, the emperor has given instructions!"

In the study, Xia Xun and Huang Zhen were sitting. Huang Zhen leaned slightly, and said to Xia Xun: "The emperor said that the border gates establish mutual markets, so they are used by the country and Huaiyuan people. This is an act that benefits the country and the people. Let it go. To disturb the officials and the people.

As for the envoy's engraving, Liaodong mutual market trade, and shipping operations, most of the family members of the generals stationed on the border participated...

The emperor said that Liaodong was poor, and the officers and soldiers could hardly support their families with their salaries alone. They would certainly not feel at ease guarding the border. There was nothing wrong with the family members finding a job to make a living, but they had to set rules and not use power to seek power, or even blackmail them, so as to arouse public resentment.You Dung Nuan Tao's family does not allow military supplies to be exported. If they leave the country privately, they will guard against the bandits.

Xia Xun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. Liaodong actually has its own rich products, such as mink, ginseng, wood, and fish. Because the west wall is close to captives, in order to restrain foreigners, during the Hongwu Dynasty, random trade was not allowed at all, especially bureaucrats were not allowed to participate. At that time, it was stipulated: "All personnel on business missions are not allowed to import pine and hazel and other things to cross the sea. Violators will be divided into one or two catties, three or five two. People who are on business trips in Liaodong want to bring a few catties of Liaodong local products back home to give their families a taste. It is a crime of beheading. Since the time of Jianwen and Yongle, the rules of trade have been relaxed, but the participation of family members of officials in business is still criticized. It's not that Xia Xun doesn't know that this is easy to cause corruption, but he must mobilize all his forces now to turn their inertia into enthusiasm, so they have to get some benefits.

Some people are greedy, is it better than everyone has nothing, and their pockets are cleaner than their faces?Everything has advantages and disadvantages. With the prosperity of the economy, there will inevitably be some bad phenomena. These can be gradually solved by improving the system, instead of giving up food because of choking. In order to prevent corruption, everyone is simply poor. Get greedy.

But some of these meanings cannot be put on the table. When he wrote the letter last time, he only euphemistically explained the necessity of the participation of the government and the people. Now that the emperor has said this, he is finally at ease.

Xia Xun led the leader and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but the matter of supervising cars and holding cars is easy to handle inside the pass, but outside the pass, it is as difficult as going to heaven. There is no administrative department here, only the six departments under the military preparation department. There are only three or two kittens, even if they grow hands and feet, what can they do? Besides, they are affiliated with the army, can they supervise the violations of discipline by the generals in the army?"

Huang Zhen said with a smile: "My lord, please stop complaining. The emperor said that restoring the Yamen is a major event. If it is abolished and restored, the establishment will be unstable, and it will be abolished again in the future, and the prestige of the court will be lost. There is nothing left. But what the Duke said is also true, and the emperor also hopes that Liaodong can re-establish government officials and officials, so as to pasture the land, so the emperor here has another decree that the Duke should set up the Liaodong shogunate." Huang Zhen said, He took out a scroll of yellow silk from his sleeve, solemnly held it in his hand, and handed it to Xia Xun.

Xia Xun took it and was at a loss: "The shogunate? Isn't that something made by the Japanese? Is there a shogunate in China?"

He didn't know that the shogunate existed in ancient China, and it was clearly recorded in the Han Dynasty, and the name of this system in the Han Dynasty was called the shogunate. Later, the name was changed, but the system remained the same. Besides, the vassals and towns in the Tang Dynasty were an extreme form of the shogunate. On behalf of the shogunate, there are four basic characteristics: [-]. Buying officials cheaply.Second, financial autonomy.Three, the autonomy of military rewards and punishments.Fourth, military decision-making command.

One of the most important items is to set up official offices and officials according to needs.Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the power of the shogunate has sometimes been large and sometimes small. From time to time, the last three powers have been transferred to the imperial court, but the first one must be retained. Only when this system exists can it be called For the shogunate.

The shogunate system was basically abolished in the Song Dynasty, and the power to appoint and remove officials was all transferred to the imperial court. It was said that it was basically abolished because there were still shogunate in some special areas. In the middle and late period and even in the Southern Song Dynasty, this system was not completely eradicated.

During the Jianyan period, due to the war between the Song and Liao Dynasties, the imperial court decreed that "Hebei Zhaofu, Hedong Jingzhi, and appeasement envoys shall all be appointed as generals and officials; generals in the five armies and imperial battalion divisions shall also be appointed large and small envoys. Zhudao counties The county was in ruins, the officials were disbanded, and the various divisions tempted people to fill in the gaps. They all took the post first and then gave them to themselves. Therefore, the prefectural and county guards all exchanged officials in the name of military prosperity... ".

Not to mention after the south crossing, which army does not have the right to call itself a general?At most, report after the fact.In the original history, there was also a shogunate in the Ming Dynasty. The anti-humble generals Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, etc. all recruited private individuals as shoguns to assist in military and political affairs.It's just different from the previous generation. These are all temporary errands.

Zhu Di didn't want to rashly re-open the government office in Liaodong, lest it be untenable and abolished again to make the world laugh, but in the face of Xia Xun's report, he also knew that this was an excellent time to re-establish the government office in Liaodong, so he thought With this compromise strategy, the Liaodong shogunate was established and power was further delegated to Xia Xun.If the government office of the shogunate is untenable, it is only the personal behavior of the governor of Liaodong. If it is established, the government office and officials of the shogunate will suddenly become the government office of the imperial court with an edict.

"My brother-in-law is pretty smart. Such a cautious move can solve the urgent problems that need to be solved in Liaodong. If it fails, there will be nothing wrong with the court..."

Xia Xun smacked his lips with the edict, and suddenly remembered the classic line of the movie "Mission Impossible": "If..." The government will not admit that it has anything to do with this matter.This recording will be destroyed in five seconds, I wish you a long way..."

I can't send flowers to everyone on Valentine's Day, so... an extra gift, the last minute is ticking, I wish you a happy Valentine's Day!
