Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

653. Clarify Relationships

"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, the last emperor of Jianlu was captured, and the imperial court has decided to hang him in the National Memorial Garden of Youzhou Prefecture. Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, important news, Chen Guojiu, the official minister of the Supreme Court, was ordered to go north for prison And always offer sacrifices to officials and people who died in captivity. Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, great news, the death of the captives will end, and the imperial court announces amnesty for the world. Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, great news"

After the Huaxia court passed the "Reporting Law" under the supervision of Zheng Kezang, many newspaper vendors appeared on the streets of Wuchang.However, due to the fact that there are very few types of newspapers and less news on the newspapers, the business can only be said to be good or bad.However, once the newspaper on July 17, 21, was sold out, it was sold out immediately.

Yes, whether it is those old and young who think that the Chinese court has collapsed, or those beneficiaries of the Huaxia dynasty who are worried that the Qing court will make a comeback, they are all shocked by the news in the newspaper-it is understandable that the court chased and killed thousands of miles, but the captured How cruel it is for the queen of a country not only to have no preferential treatment but to be strangled openly.

But the moralists had no way to criticize Zheng Kezang's decision. First, the Huaxia Dynasty's treatment of traitors was very cruel. Under heavy pressure, no one dared to openly complain about the outcome of the alien regime. Standing here, avenging Emperor Yongli, who was hanged alive in the previous dynasty, is also understandable.

Of course, there are also people who will raise the banner of benevolence, but this kind of people will only criticize the actions of the Chinese court behind the scenes, and they will not get it on the table. Blind obedience, so the entire public opinion is full of praise for the court's handling, and some people even bought firecrackers immediately and set them off on the spot

"Let's settle the matter about Beihai first." Of course, the public's discussion will not reach Zheng Kezang's ears for a while. At this moment, he is planning the future of Mobei. "'Selengesk' was renamed Ulan-Ude, and it became the seat of the Beihai Metropolitan Protectorate. The Horqin people were resettled on the spot, and their family members asked the Jilin side to inspect it. If they can be returned, they will be returned. As for the Buri Yate and Maomingan Mongols were organized into the general management banner, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Dadu Hufu. In addition, the Beishi Weidu Hufu was renamed Khalkha Dadu Hufu, and the government office was set at Uli Yasutai in Kuching. Then let the governor's office appoint a minister of affairs in Jebtsundamba's residence in Xixi to coordinate the relationship between the Khalkha ministries and the Uliasutai Grand Protectorate."

Chen Dunwen, the new minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to set up a deputy capital guard on Erren (Erenhot), so that it may be possible to command and deter the Mongolian tribes in Monan."

However, Chen Ke, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, disagreed with Chen Dunwen's opinion: "Erenke belongs to Monan Mongolia, not in the territory of Khalkha. From the perspective of its affiliation, it is absolutely impossible for Khalkha to be in charge of the deputy governor, so as to avoid internal and external Mongolian series will cause "disorder" on the border."

Lin Weirong, the new minister of the Duzhi Yamen Association, also analyzed from an economic point of view: "The imperial court has just borrowed money from the inner court to purchase Luzon. It is time to cut expenses. It is not appropriate to add new Yamen unless it is absolutely necessary." [

However, Chen Dunwen insisted: "It is the most economical to deter Wulanchabu, Ikezhao, Xilin Gol and other places with the Deputy Protector of Khalkha. As for the fact that the three alliances do not belong to Khalkha, the important thing is the cooperation of powers. one."

Chen Ke retorted: "The deputy governor of Erren has already conflicted with the pacifiers of Shuofang and Daibei prefectures."

But Chen Dunwen said: "Then just remove these appeasement ambassadors, and put them under the supervision of Erren Deputy Chief Protector."

"Then Zhao Wuda, Zhuo Suotu, and Zhelimu Three Leagues also need to set up deputy guards." Chen Dunwen's suggestion has actually surpassed the power of the Ministry of War, so Chen Ke countered coldly. "Or the conciliatory ambassador in Liaoning has also withdrawn."

Chen Ke was about to answer carelessly, when he suddenly remembered something, and his face changed: "This soldier is just discussing the matter, as for how to deal with it, it is up to the Holy Majesty to decide, why should Mr. Chen act like this."

Chen Dunwen was furious, and was about to impeach Chen Keyue, but Zheng Kezang waved his hands and said, "There is no need for the two lovers to argue. I thought that Erren could not set up a deputy guard, but all the post stations connecting Khalkha are run by Ulia. The Sutai Metropolitan Protectorate is in charge to unify powers, and the rest of the post stations connecting the banners of the Monan and Mongolia alliances are under the command of the deputy commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the neighboring provinces."

Chen Dunwen and Chen Ke looked at each other and fell silent, but Lin Weirong said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, I think the garrison in the north is spending too much money, so please remove some of them."

Chen Dunwen jumped up again: "Your Majesty, if the northern land is newly settled, if it is enough to suppress the army and deter it, once the local Tu people stand on their own, how do you know that it will not be the second slave building, so it is absolutely impossible to withdraw the army."

Lin Weirong retorted: "The population in the Northeast is very small, and the output is not enough to supply the army. All expenses need to be transshipped inland. If the Ministry of War is willing to include it in the military expenditure, then the Duzhi Yamen will not matter."

Chen Dunwen was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and wanted to fight Lin Weirong for his life, but Zheng Kezang thought about it, and he said while thinking: "I thought it was not because of the rivalry between the lovers. The status of the Protectorate has not yet been determined, so it is time for the imperial court to decide on the status of the Protectorate."

The courtiers present were stunned, and they heard Zheng Kezang say: "I think that the Duhufu should be a province that has not yet been established. As long as the household registration, fiscal and taxation meet certain standards in the future, counties and state capitals can be established successively, and so on." The number of counties and state capitals has reached the lower limit, and they will be further transformed into provinces, and the Qing family should have no objection to this."

Chen Ke, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is most qualified to respond, replied immediately: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true. I also think that the Duhufu is the province to be built. If the manpower and material resources are sufficient for a generation, it will naturally be converted into a new province like Jinlan and other places. .”

"Then Duhu should be compared to Dudu Tongzhi or Dudu Qianshi. His subordinates, Changshi and Sima, should be abolished and Xingshangshutai should be set up instead." With Chen Ke's support, Zheng Kezang clarified his thinking, so he went on to say . "As for the garrison of the Protectorate's Mansion, the court's financial resources are limited, so the Shence Army should be the main force. What does the Ministry of War think?"

Zheng Kezang discussed the issue from the perspective of the overall situation, and Chen Dunwen couldn't only care about the interests of his own department, so he nodded after thinking for a moment: "I think that since I have the experience of the Southern Protectorate, maybe the North can also implement it as a whole."

Speaking of this, Chen Dunwen suddenly understood: "The meaning of the Holy One is to merge the Mongolian Yicong Army into the Shence Army?"

Regarding Chen Dunwen's assessment, Zheng Kezang gave a clear and erroneous answer: "That's exactly the case. In the future, we should abandon the law of leading the army from the Mongolian princes and directly recruit the Shence Army from the allied banners, so as to restrain the Mongolian princes. Power, and secondly, it can better guarantee the imperial court’s control over the Mongolian soldiers and horses. Of course, I think that relying solely on the Shence Army is unreliable, and the imperial court should also station three to four cavalry and cavalry The military divisions will support the two capitals of Andong and Songmo, and the Longjiangbei, Jinghai, and Extreme North capitals have naval divisions and Longxiang troops stationed there, and the cooperation with the Shence Army may be enough to deter the local area."

Chen Dunwen thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "I think the Holy Majesty's decision is quite novel, and the Ministry of War has to negotiate with the Privy Council before giving the Holy Majesty a reply. In addition, I think that if this is the case, should the Navy side cooperate with the reorganization?"

Zheng Kezang pondered for a moment, and expressed his opinion: "Your statement is indeed somewhat reasonable, and we should communicate with the Privy Council at this time. As for the overall reorganization of the navy, counting the time, Lu Qing has already accompanied Lu Songyi. No, when the Spanish envoys arrived in Luzon, once they oppressed the local chiefs to obey their orders, they would soon go north to receive the land purchase money. When the imperial court accepted the entire Luzon, they would be able to straighten the coastal defense line in the south, and it is indeed necessary to re-clarify Sea area patrol arrangements have been made.”

"Your Majesty," Chen Dunwen had just retreated after receiving the order, and Chen Ke stood up again. "If the Protectorate's Mansion is an unestablished province, then what status should the Protectorate's Mansion be placed?"

"Dadu Protectorate," including the newly established Beihai Dadu Protectorate, Huaxia currently has four Dadu Protectorates, namely Beihai, Khalkha, Lingyamen, and Ambon in the East Indies. There are mostly military towns in Xiayi, but there are very few real immigration areas, so Zheng Kezang made a quick decision. "Under the rule of the Dadu Protectorate, it is either a place of fetters or the location of the inner vassal. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to simply regard it as a future province, or it may be regarded as a sub-office of the governor's office authorized by the imperial court."

Chen Ke had obviously judged Zheng Kezang's possible answer, so he suggested accordingly: "I think that since the Holy Majesty prefers that the Dadu Protectorate is a sub-administration of the Governor's Office, the personnel of the Dadu Protectorate will still be proposed by the Governor's Yamen, but the Governor's Office will Here, I also ask the Holy One to clarify the duties, so that the two divisions will not delay the imperial court's affairs."

"Qing is good at calculating." Of course Zheng Kezang understood what Chen Ke meant. It was obvious that the Ministry of Officials wanted to take this opportunity to take back the right to vote for the governor. "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to seize the power of the Governor's Yamen while the Governor's Yamen is the leader of the group."

At present, Xu Qing, the minister of the Governor's Office, is applying for an official position due to his old age, and Lu Weijun, who Zheng Kezang prefers to succeed as the Minister of the Council, has not yet returned to China. It is conceivable that no one in the palace speaks out against the officials on behalf of the Governor's Office. Therefore, it is not too much to say that Chen Ke took advantage of the fire to rob.However, Zheng Kezang was the first to mention Duhufu as a future province. Of course, he couldn't blame Chen Ke for clarifying his powers.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang could only laugh and said: "I have always advocated not to act presumptuously, but I also advocate taking the initiative to fight for power, but the fight for power is not for profit but to better share the worries of the court."

After beating Chen Ke, Zheng Kezang's face turned serious: "So, I agree to transfer the personnel affairs of the Duhufu to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials. In this regard, the Ministry of Officials should listen more to the opinions of the Governor's Office. In addition, the personnel affairs of the Governor's Office cannot be delayed. I approve Xu Qing's appointment, and I will arrange it with the Minister of Bideyuan. The Ministry of Officials must cooperate with the Governor. The yamen will discuss as soon as possible, and first appoint an assistant to preside over the affairs of the department."
