Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Updated: 2012-11-16

The grand court ceremony in the first year of Baokang seemed to be very successful. Zheng Kezang personally led a group of officials to pay homage to the new emperor, and there were also foreign countries such as Korea, Ryukyu, and Annan Zheng Dynasty.Of course, everyone understood that this scene was just a flashback, no, the next day, almost the same ceremony was held again in the Xia Palace.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, news came out from the palace that the 72-year-old Baokang Emperor Zhu Ciying fell ill.After Zheng Kezang heard the news, he sent several first-class doctors from Taiyuan Hospital to the palace for treatment, but after the doctors took the pulse, they all shook their heads and remained silent.It is said that the old emperor is old and weak, and medicine and stones are difficult to get in. By this time, the fuel is exhausted, and there is not much time to go. Now the treatment is just a day.

That being the case, the outside of the palace began to prepare for the funeral, but the rumor of Emperor Baokang's imminent death stimulated the rumors in the workshop, and everyone focused on whether Zheng Kezang would take the opportunity to establish a new dynasty.

On the 25th of the first lunar month, Emperor Baokang, who had been in a coma for several days, suddenly woke up, and immediately invited Zheng Kezang into the palace for a talk.

Zheng Kezang quickly entered the palace, but unexpectedly, Zhu Cizhen did not explain the funeral, and begged Zheng Kezang to save the life of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yiming in the future, but instead begged Zheng Kezang to accept his abdication in an unusual tone .Of course, Zheng Kezang refused again.Speaking of Zheng Kezang's desire to replace Da Ming, it is also a matter of minutes and seconds. The reason why he repeatedly pushes back is not that he wants to build a chastity archway after being a bitch, but because his layout has not yet been completed, so he doesn't want to do it overnight.

Seeing Zheng Kezang insisting on his own opinion, Emperor Baokang, who had exhausted all his energy, let out a long sigh, then lay down and closed his eyes, and never opened them again.Afterwards, Zhu Cizhen struggled on the sickbed for another eleven days before he passed away worrying about his descendants. Yuanren Kuanmin Zhuangjianren's posthumous title, and was finally buried in Daishan (a hilltop of Niushou Mountain) Huiling.

In accordance with the rule that a country cannot live without a master for a day, under the support of Zheng Kezang, 39-year-old Zhu Yiming was established as the No. It was the first year of Taishun, and the Wang family was canonized as the queen, the third son Zhu Bozhen as the crown prince, and the fourth son Zhu Bozhen as the king of An.

But as a puppet, Zhu Yiming only has this bit of power. After being frightened by Zheng Jun's butcher knife during the Nanjing Incident in the third year of Wuding, he immediately announced the formal suspension of all state affairs and government activities such as the Great Dynasty and the Chang Dynasty. , reiterated that all military and state affairs are related to the Baixia King's shogunate, so that he can "govern it"

The two national funerals within half a year made even the dullest people understand that Ming's Guozuo would not last long.However, there were still some people who did not give up. In March of the first year of Baokang, some people raised the banner of clearing the emperor's side and eradicating traitors during the civil unrest in Quzhou caused by the clearing of Zhang Zhang's land and the verification of household registration in Zhejiang and Jiangxi.After the anti-Zheng rebellions in Lianping and Xinfeng in Guangdong were quelled, anti-Zheng riots with the background of the White Lotus Sect broke out in Longchuan and other places in Guangdong.This series of civil disturbances and riots forced Zheng Kezang to kill and clean up the Taoist sects and sects in the territory on a large scale. The parties who had the same goal of anti-Qing finally had a scene of fighting with each other.

"Helmsman, it's not good, officer, officer!" Amidst the panicked voice, the door was knocked open, and a stocky man rushed in in a panic. "Official troops surrounded the pier, and our boats and people were arrested."

"What did you say?" Weng Youhan, who had just got up from his concubine's belly, originally wanted to get angry and teach this clumsy subordinate, but when he heard this sentence, his hair stood on end. "The government sealed off the ship and arrested our people. This, why is this!" Weng Youhan was originally in the water transport business, but Zheng Jun occupied Jiangnan and Jiangbei. This water transport has long been cut off, so he had to change it to Yangtze River shipping. , also helped Zheng Jun to transport supplies, and usually relied on him a lot on the official level, but I don't know why he suddenly turned his face today. "Come on, follow me to the yamen to find out."

The yamen Weng You mentioned in Hankou was not the Chaoguan and Water Mooring Offices inherited from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the newly established Shipping Administration Office, an institution affiliated to the Shipping Administration Department of the Ministry of Water Resources, which is responsible for managing all private shipyards and private fleets. Registration, inspection, license issuance, and fishery administration are the main official agencies like Weng Youhan who discuss life on the water.

"Master Weng is." When Weng Youhan rushed to the shipping office out of breath, he was not greeted by the shipping ambassador and deputy shipping envoy who drank together a few days ago, but a green-robed official with a sullen face. . "I was looking for you. Now I have surrendered myself. It just saves my strength. Come and take it."

The guards swarmed up, no, they are called patrolmen now, and they tied up Weng Youhan and his companions like five flowers, and Weng, who didn't dare to resist, could only shout loudly: "My lord, my lord, what's wrong with the servants? Not only will the ship be sealed, but people will also be arrested, the people are wronged, wronged!"

"Wronged?" The green-robed official sneered. "Forget it, I have to punish you without teaching." As he spoke, the green-robed official cupped his hands in the direction of Nanjing. "According to the order of the shogunate, to eliminate evil sects such as the White Lotus Sect and the Eight Diagrams Sect, and to clear up the folk associations. Your water bank calls itself the Cao Gang, and there is even more filth in it. Isn't it a violation of the order? Isn't it a crime?"

"My lord, I've been wronged!" Weng Youhan yelled when he heard it. "The villain is just for a bite of food"

Speaking of this incident, Weng Youhan was indeed a little wronged, because the Cao Gang had not formally formed during this period, and the organization was still in a situation of fighting on its own; but it makes sense to say that he was not wronged, because from the Ming Dynasty After the capital was moved to Beijing during the Yongle period, the Cao Bank implemented the so-called "Cao Regulations", and the "Cao Regulations" were mastered by the "Caokou", which already possessed all the characteristics of the Cao Gang.In addition, most of the members of Caoxing are young and strong men, and the seriousness of the system is maintained by cruel "cao regulations", family laws, and loyalty. Who should I turn to if I use them as targets for surgery?What's more, the so-called canal water transportation is just a piece of scum in the eyes of Zheng Fan, who has a huge shipping fleet, and there is no feeling that the Ming and Qing dynasties are too big to lose.

"Crack!" The green-robed official snorted contemptuously. "Detain it and wait for the trial."

Weng Youhan was escorted down, and the ambassador of the shipping office next to him frowned and looked at the green-robed official: "Master He, all the water banks have been arrested by you, so the shipping on the river will come to a halt, this man, this man When will the boat be released?"

"When will people be released? How can I know when I am a small police officer? I have to go through the trial of the Supreme Court before I know." Mr. He in Tsing Yi said with a smile on his face. The external characteristics of those people. "As for those who have been interrogated, those who have committed evil deeds will probably go to Shilu to find them. As for those who are relatively innocent, the Navy Department will go through it first, and only those who are old and unsuitable for sea navigation will be released. "Master He looked at the shipping ambassador with a bitter face, and chuckled lightly. "However, we are interested in those dilapidated boats, and the navy probably doesn't like them, and they will return them to you at that time."

"What do we need the boat for?" Facing someone He's ridicule, the shipping ambassador of the sixth grade said a little displeased. "The shogunate has long issued a strict order that the government is not allowed to handle commercial affairs except that the government land can be rented out. If the ship is given to us, we have to seal it up and take care of it. It is a waste of government money."

"Master Du, you are pretending to be ignorant." Master He suppressed his smile. "You can't use these ships. Naturally, there are people rushing to use them. Whether they are sold or leased, they will make a lot of money."

"Master He, you want to take me into the ditch." Ambassador Du was unmoved. "According to King Xia's will, the Shipping Department has only expenditures and no income. Even if these ships can be sold and rented out, it is still a matter for the Ministry of Salt and Iron. It needs to be investigated, and the audit office must also be investigated. If such a large amount of income suddenly emerges from the shipping office, no matter whether it is privately divided or not, my test scores will be poor!" Ambassador Du looked at He Engeng's extremely calm card. face, feeling unhappy for a while. "Master He is going to cut off this official's future."

"Where, Mr. Du is too serious." He Zhengzheng laughed. "The shogunate was newly established, and many laws and regulations have been changed from time to time. The lower officials are not familiar with it. If there is any intention of framing Mr. Du, I am talking too much. I really should fight. Okay, okay, the lower officials have something to do, so I won't stay any longer, Du. My lord, just hand over the nailed ship to Yousi, but one more reminder, register the owner and shareholder ratio, if there is any return, you can't give the ship, you have to give money."

"Thank you, Mr. He, for your reminder. I won't give it away." Looking at the back of the other party who was walking away, Ambassador Du spat on the ground. "Damn the factory guard, I'm here to play tricks." After speaking, Ambassador Du summoned the rest of the officials of the Shipping Office. "The matter is coming, please work hard, what needs to be nailed and sealed, what needs to be checked and checked, in short, we need to come up with a detailed name."

"My lord," the deputy envoy of Zheng Qipin cupped his hands. "My lord, this matter is related to the account books and documents of the Cao Bank. If our family does something, I am afraid that our colleagues will think that we have tampered with it. It is better to work with the Ministry of Salt and Iron, so that there will be no mistakes."

"It's best to say hello to the police branch again." The master of Zhengbapin added. "Master He didn't seem to have a good idea just now, and he may not be able to entrust it to him. What's more, he patted his ass and left. We can't move our nest, so we have to rely on the place."

In Zheng Kezang’s plan, the ministries and yamen have branch offices, branch offices, and sub-bureaus in each province, and branch offices, branch offices, and branch offices at the prefecture and Zhili prefecture levels. As for the Sanzhou and county levels, they will be unified. Therefore, the police branch mentioned in the main book is actually the Zhenjiang branch of the police government office, but of course the chief officer is not called the head of the branch, but the inspector.

"It's still you who are thoughtful, so that's it."
