Chapter 1459: The Second Examination of Zhang Jing (Part 2)
"Well, what do you think is the first priority in order to destroy the Japanese?" Zhang Jing looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes and asked again.
Zhang Jing also asked Hu Zongxian this question last time, and Hu Zongxian's answer at that time was: mobilize troops, mobilize troops, or mobilize troops.
Hu Zongxian regarded the deployment of troops as the first and most urgent task in destroying the Japanese. If the Japanese were to be destroyed, the troops must be mobilized.
Zhang Jing is looking forward to Zhu Pingan's answer to see if Zhu Pingan has any unique insights into the current strategies to control Japanese invaders.
"The lower official believes that the first priority in the plan to destroy the Japanese is unified command!" Zhu Pingan said without hesitation.
"Unified command?" Zhang Jing was slightly startled. To be honest, Zhu Pingan's answer was a bit beyond his expectation.
"Or rather, appoint the governor." Zhu Pingan said softly.
"Where did you come from?" Zhang Jing asked with great interest.
"Nowadays, the Japanese pirates are getting worse. Countless Japanese pirates gather and disperse, wreaking havoc in the south of the Yangtze River. From Shandong Province in the north to Guangdong Province in the south, they are all within the scope of the Japanese pirates' ravages. Each province has limited power, and Japanese pirates are roaming around to commit crimes. Just one province alone
With such power, it would be difficult to exterminate the Japanese pirates, or even fight against the Japanese pirates. Under such circumstances, if we want to exterminate the Japanese pirates, we must coordinate the troops and supplies of Shandong, South Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian Province, Guangdong and other provinces, and conduct unified command.
Gather strength, mobilize troops and dispatch generals to exterminate Japanese pirates. In addition, our current military system in the south of the Yangtze River makes it difficult to effectively concentrate our forces to exterminate Japanese pirates. Now we have no responsibility to patrol the sea and manage the army. We have no flags on the river to fight against Japanese pirates, and we have no authority to prepare for Japanese invaders.
The military talisman is sent, but the officers have no soldiers who have fought before, the militiamen have no people to train on daily basis except for the lower officials, and there is no other valuable source of military supplies... Therefore, unified command is imperative. If
To achieve unified command, the only way is to appoint a governor-general and appoint a governor-general of Zhejiang. No, in these extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done. The governor-general of Zhejiang is far from enough. The governor-general of Jiangnan should be appointed. The governor-general includes Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Guangdong.
, Guangxi and other places, vested all military and financial powers in the governor-general's jurisdiction. He could have the power to coordinate the distribution of money, food and supplies in the jurisdiction. He had the power to command and mobilize the military forces of all provinces in the jurisdiction, and to pool the efforts of each province to fight and destroy Japanese pirates. Under unified command, he appointed the governor of Jiangnan.
, If you think about it, I think this is the most important thing to do to destroy the Japanese."
Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhang Jing and spoke slowly. Although his voice was not loud, it was loud and deafening.
"The governor of Jiangnan, the governor directly under the control of the military affairs of Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places..."
When Zhang Jing heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath. Governor Jiangnan... Zhu Ping'an was too bold to think about it. The jurisdiction of Governor Jiangnan occupied half of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty. This Jiangnan
The power of the governor was also too great, equivalent to half the military power of the Ming Dynasty. The word "high position and power" is not enough to describe the governor of Jiangnan.
Although Zhang Jing also thought about appointing a governor, he only thought that he should appoint the governor of the province of Zhejiang, or at most the governor of Zhejiang and Zhili, and the governor of Zhejiang and Nanzhili provinces. I have been since the Ming Dynasty.
Since its establishment, the most it has done is appoint governors to manage the military affairs of two provinces.
How dare you imagine that the Holy Emperor would appoint a governor to oversee half of the Ming Dynasty provinces, including Zhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.
Zhang Jing never dared to think about it.
Therefore, when Zhu Pingan said this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhu, you are still too young, and you are a bit fanciful. The Governor of Jiangnan... is impossible... throughout the ages, there has never been such a high-ranking and powerful governor.
"
Zhang Jing coughed, waved his hand, and said bluntly.
Faced with Zhang Jing's doubts and denials, Zhu Ping'an remained calm and calm, insisting softly, "Perhaps the official is too young, but it has never happened in ancient times, which does not mean that there will not be in the future. The official thinks that appointing a governor like this will get twice the result with half the effort."
, can wipe out Japanese pirates in the fastest, best and most stable way."
The reason why Zhu Pingan is so persistent is because he comes from modern times and is well aware of the development and evolution of history.
Historically, Emperor Jiajing would soon appoint the "Zhezhi" governor, whose jurisdiction would be Zhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other half of the Ming Dynasty provinces, and he would hold half of the Ming Dynasty's military power.
The "Zhejiang" governor who Emperor Jiajing was about to appoint was the actual governor of Jiangnan, and his jurisdiction was exactly the same as that of the governor of Jiangnan mentioned by Zhu Ping'an.
The reason why Zhu Pingan said the governor of Jiangnan and not the governor of Zhejiang is because the literal meaning of "Governor of Zhejiang" is the governor of the two provinces of Zhejiang and South Zhili. The reason why he has jurisdiction over Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, etc.
Half of the Ming province was specially approved by Emperor Jiajing, who was actually the governor of Jiangnan.
Now when it comes to appointing the governor-general of Zhejiang Province, without the special approval of Emperor Jiajing, he is the governor-general of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili Provinces, and his jurisdiction is only the two provinces of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili.
Only after Emperor Jiajing specially approved the jurisdiction of the "Zhejiang" governor-general, the Zhejiang-zhi governor could govern Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces.
In the future, when Emperor Jiajing decrees the establishment of a governor-general of Zhejiang Province, and specifically stipulates that his jurisdiction is Southern Zhili, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces, the governor-general of Zhejiang Province will actually be the governor-general of Jiangnan. He said that he would appoint Jiangnan
The governor is also correct. It would be wrong to appoint the governor of Zhejiang Province now.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan said that he was the governor of Jiangnan.
Insisting on his own opinion now may give Hu Zongxian the impression that he is too young and takes things for granted.
but!
Zhu Ping'an believed that after Emperor Jiajing appointed Zhang Jing as the governor of Zhejiang Province, Zhang Jing would be shocked and his scalp would be numb when he thought about what he said today, and his image would suddenly shine in his mind.
At that time, I will definitely leave an unforgettable impression in Zhang Jing's heart.
Zhu Ping'an is really good at this, he knows everything like a god...
This is similar to the desire to advance, suppress first, and reverse, and it will leave a more profound impression.
This day will be very soon.
According to historical records, in as early as three to five days, or as slowly as ten days and a half, Emperor Jiajing would issue an imperial edict and appoint Zhang Jing as the governor of Zhejiang Province, with jurisdiction over half of the Ming Dynasty including Zhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.
With all the military and financial power in the provinces and governor-general's jurisdiction, Zhang Jing can directly mobilize troops in Shandong, Southern Zhili, Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi and other jurisdictions without going through the cabinet or asking the Holy Father for instructions. When the time comes, Zhang Jing can again
If you want to mobilize Guangxi wolf soldiers, it is a matter of one sentence and one article.
Young is still young. It is a good thing for young people to have confidence, but confidence must be realistic.
Seeing Zhu Pingan's persistence, Zhang Jing shook his head slightly in his heart, and his score for Zhu Pingan's answer this time was not as high as the previous question.
It is necessary to appoint a governor, but the governor of Jiangnan is a bit taken for granted...
Hu Zongxian's answer to this question gave Zhang Jing a few points higher than Zhu Ping'an.
