Chapter 495: If you dont believe it, its hard for man to defeat God.
Sun Cheng led his men to stop the two horse-riding teams outside, and looked back at His Highness Taisun, who was sitting on the horse with his brows furrowed and a look of doubt on his face.
They took over the express delivery from Guzhen Station and Wangzhuang Station respectively, and those who rushed to the front of the team were the soldiers from the express delivery shops of the two stations.
Because it is urgent to report the grandson's whereabouts.
Every express delivery shop has three people and three horses on their way.
The six soldiers were all wearing post uniforms and leather belts around their waists. The bells on their belts kept ringing to inform people on the official road.
The soldiers also each carried a gun, a sword, and a short stick.
He was stopped by someone from Jinyiwei, and the official robes he wore were clearly different in style.
The six soldiers immediately reined in their horses and stopped in front of the team.
"Reporting to Shangguan, the Chief Envoy of Henan Province and the Inspection and Envoy Department of Henan Province will direct the envoys and the Yamen of the Governor of Hedao to write an urgent report to His Highness Taisun. I hope that Shangguan will inform you about the slight improvement."
This is Pubing going south from Guzhenyi, delivering urgent reports from Henan Road.
On the other side, Pu Bing, who had come north from Wangzhuang Post, also hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Shangguan, the Chief of Staff in Zhongdu, Fengyang Prefecture's Yamen urgently reports to Your Highness. There is an urgent report. I hope the Shangguan will inform you."
The imperial court had begun to rectify and reform the inns many years ago, involving nearly two thousand inns across the country.
In addition to the original purpose of housing the disabled and old soldiers in the army, the renovation of the post station was also to create a source of revenue for the imperial court.
The effect of innovation is obvious.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many things had to be started from scratch. In government affairs, there were systems inherited from the former Yuan and Song dynasties, as well as new practices.
Just like the official post stations, the Ming Dynasty was different from the previous dynasties. There was no separate delivery post office in the world. They were all handled by the local prefecture and county levels. There are nearly two thousand post stations in the world, and they are directly under the Ministry of War in the Yingtian Chaotang.
The jurisdiction of the frame department.
Although this to a certain extent ensured the court's management efficiency of the delivery station and ensured the speed and normality of the court's express delivery.
But it’s also a very bad thing.
That is, the cost of these water horse stations, delivery stations, and express shops that are responsible for the local prefectures and counties is not paid by the Vehicle Frame Department of the Ministry of War, but is also the responsibility of the local prefectures and counties.
Naturally, it was impossible for the local government to divert money and food to pay this bill for the imperial court. In addition, in the early days of the country, all the local waste was being developed, so it was impossible to come up with this money.
Therefore, the local government and the imperial court compromised with each other.
The final result was that all the money and food needed for the nearly two thousand post stations throughout the Ming Dynasty were allocated by the people of local prefectures and counties.
The biggest result of the post station restructuring in the past few years is that all the costs originally allocated to local people have been wiped out. It is up to the Ministry of War to coordinate the revenue and losses of the post stations all over the world.
The inns with more money and food now not only accommodate more disabled and elderly soldiers, but also gain more profits.
Zhu Yunxi, who was riding horses with the accompanying officials in the team, raised his head and looked towards the soldiers in front who were stopped by Sun Cheng.
There were only six soldiers, but all of them had injuries visible to the naked eye.
These people are all veterans of the army who have been bleeding and injured for the Ming Dynasty over the years. They just can no longer serve the court in front of the battle, but now they have also changed to serve the court in another form.
The imperial court also gave them peace.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of Xiaopang joking with him when the inn's restructuring was initially effective.
Nowadays, even if you look at the military accounts of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, they are all clear and clear.
But as long as the imperial court needs it, these old soldiers who are placed in the nearly two thousand post stations can immediately pick up their swords and armor and go into battle to kill the enemy for the imperial court.
This is an indisputable fact.
At that time, Zhu Yunxi just smiled silently, assuming that he acquiesced to Xiaopang's statement.
after all.
It should be noted that within a local county, there may only be a few dozen officers in the third class of the Yamen.
However, there may be several inns within a county.
The total number of soldiers in these stations is an armed force that far exceeds that of the government yamen.
Thinking of the joke he had with Xiaopang, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but narrow his eyes at this moment.
Perhaps when we return to Beijing after this northern tour, we should discuss in the cabinet the matter of those disabled soldiers being transferred to the local government's third class police officers.
Zhu Yunxi, who was escorted by Jin Yiwei and Yulinwei officers and soldiers in the team, was thinking about new innovations.
Sun Cheng, who was at the front of the team, was performing his duties.
He sat on the horse, holding the riding whip in both hands and pressing it on the horse's back, looking at the six soldiers in front of him: "Bring the report plywood, the voucher, and the return."
The two leading soldiers from Guzhenyi and Wangzhuangyi immediately got off their horses and moved the packages they had been carrying from their backs to their chests. They also walked up to Sun Chengma.
The two moved quickly and quickly took out the three things Sun Cheng wanted.
Sun Cheng first looked at the voucher, which was what proved the identities of the soldiers.
After checking and handing it back, Sun Cheng looked at the two plywood more seriously.
Stored in the plywood are the urgent notes sent from Henan Road and Fengyang City.
After checking that the splints were well sealed and that there were no signs of being opened in advance, Sun Cheng stuffed the two splints on his chest.
Then he stretched out his hand, and immediately a soldier took an ink pen from the package and handed it to Sun Cheng.
Open one of the replies from Wangzhuangyi.
Sun Cheng scanned it carefully, and there was ink in front of his head. It was written that Haoliang Station handed over the urgent report, Wangzhuang Station received the urgent report, and followed the Taisun in the journey or sent it to Guzhen Station. On it, there were also
It states the name of the person who delivered the urgent memorial at Haoliang Station, and the name and identity of the person who received the urgent memorial at Wangzhuang Station.
Everything has been checked and correct, and the inspection of the receipts for the soldiers on the Guzhenyi side has also been completed.
Sun Cheng then wrote on the two replies that he had received the urgent report and verified that it was correct.
"Thank you for your hard work, take your time on the return trip."
Without saying a word, Sun Cheng held the two splints and pulled the reins to turn the direction.
The soldiers did not stop. After completing the delivery of the urgent report, they checked the signature on the receipt and immediately mounted their horses and rushed back to Guzhenyi and Wangzhuangyi without stopping.
Sun Chengye had sent two copies of the emergency plywood to Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, please report from Henan Province and Fengyang Mansion."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu rode horses next to Zhu Yunxi, and they both looked at the rapid-playing splint handed out by Sun Cheng.
As soon as His Highness left Fengyang City today, an urgent message came from Fengyang that something was not right.
A lot of things happened in Henan Province this year.
The situation was so serious that the entire officialdom of Henan Province was almost completely cleaned up and dealt with. Thousands of people under the Henan Dusi were implicated, and hundreds of local gentry had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.
Today, the Sansi Yamen of Henan Province and the Yamen of the Governor of Hedao Province sent urgent notices together.
Gao Yangzhi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Obviously, this matter has something to do with the Hedao Governor's Yamen.
Otherwise, the Henan Province Third Division Yamen would not have asked the Henan Province Governor's Yamen to jointly sign an urgent report.
Zhu Yunxi also frowned slightly.
Which side you watch first means which side you want to deal with first.
"Take the one from Henan Road."
Zhu Yunxi spoke softly and looked at Sun Cheng, who was holding two quick-play plywood.
Sun Chengcheng immediately handed over the Henan Road Jizo plywood sent by the soldiers from Guzhen Posthouse.
Zhu Yunxi took the splint.
Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu silently turned sideways and looked over.
Just after reading the first two sentences of the urgent note, Zhu Yunxi immediately tightened his eyebrows and his face became gloomy and solemn.
"Something happened to the river, Nian."
With that said, he handed the hurried music to Gao Yangzhi who was standing aside.
Gao Yangzhi took over the urgent performance, his expression also heavy.
No wonder the urgent notice sent by the Yamen of the Third Division of Henan Province was co-signed by the Yamen of the Governor of Henan Province.
However, things on the river had just begun this year, and now something happened. He was really not sure whether the things on the river could continue in the DPRK.
That is a big thing that costs millions of money and food every year.
Compared with the levee breach that may occur only once every few years or ten years, the money and food can be used elsewhere by the court.
What happened on the river?
With doubts in his heart, Gao Yangzhi lowered his head and looked at the rapid music plywood in his hand. Following Taisun's words, he read out the contents of the rapid music in a voice as low as possible that only a few people around him could hear.
"His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor of the State was ordered to supervise the country. I have appointed Henan Daocheng to announce the political envoys, the punishment and inspection envoys, and all command the envoys. I have also sent you to the Yamen of the Governor of the Daming River to report this to Your Highness.
Since the twenty-seventh year of the Hongwu Period, chaos has broken out in Henan Province, internal affairs have been turbulent, and local unrest has spread. Rivers have overflowed and rivers have been raging. Fortunately, Henan Province had the favor of the emperor, heavy responsibilities from the imperial court, and the personal visit of the grandson, which eliminated the unrest.
When Henan Road took over, the officials of the three prefectural offices were new, and they worked together to promote the new government. The Yamen of the Governor of the River Road supervised the affairs of peace and stability of the Yellow River, and the Yamen of the three prefectures worked together.
The ministers and others looked at the people above the court and below the prefectures and counties, all of whom had a new appearance and a renewed atmosphere. This was the time when the ministers and others were working hard, but the weather was not idle, and the river course suddenly changed.
In Henan Prefecture, Henan Province, in the territory of Shaanxi Province, the river governor's office supervised the construction of dams and water reduction dams that had achieved success, but collapsed. The upper reaches blocked and silted the river water, pouring down and impacting both sides of the river.
On that day, Pan Deshan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the governor-general of the river, visited the Liuyuankou river embankment. He was suddenly hit by a flood. The governor-general and officials were tens of feet away and were in a state of panic. There were many casualties among the river workers on both sides, especially in the section above Liuyuankou.
very.
I am awaiting death penalty.
However, the Yellow River is connected to the country of the Central Plains, and although I am in danger of death, I do not dare to do so. I am reporting to Your Highness and the Imperial Court. I am appeasing the river workers, rectifying the river course, inspecting the accident, and finding out the truth.
When there is a decree from the court, His Highness arrives, and the ministers wear shackles and hand over the case to the public case, and the guilty person is thrown into prison to await conviction.
Henan Road is located in the Central Plains, with an ambitious government and millions of people. Now we have encountered an accident, and I am waiting for the death penalty. The crime is punishable by death, but I dare not betray the Holy Grace. I am waiting for His Highness to arrive, and then I will determine the universe and the country of the Central Plains.
The guilty minister came forward to play."
He raised his head and took a breath to finish reciting the entire poem.
Finally, he took a deep breath, his face still livid.
Pan Deshan's method of regulating the river has long been submitted to the court and is also on file in the cabinet.
He Gao Yangzhi clearly understood the functions of dams and dams.
Something big is going to happen on the river.
It is not a major event that the dams and water reduction dams were destroyed, but the consequences it caused in the court and local areas.
Gao Yangzhi calmed down and glanced sideways at the accompanying officials behind him. Most of them were officials who had been able to stay safe in the court over the years, or young officials recently appointed by the court.
His voice was not loud, but these people could hear him clearly.
Everyone looked unhappy.
Being able to enter among the officials accompanying His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun on his northern tour shows that these people are completely trusted by the court.
Something big is going to happen to the court again.
This is the consensus in everyone's mind at this moment.
Gao Yangzhi looked at Zhu Yunxi and said in a low voice: "Behind are the Yamen of the Three Divisions of Henan Province, the signatures of the chief officers of the Governor's Yamen of Henan Province, and the signatures of subordinate officials of each Yamen, including almost all officials in Kaifeng City."
Tens of millions of money and food were spent, and now all of them have been washed away by the flowing water of the Yellow River.
The political disputes caused by this in the court are also about to come.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were solemn, but when he turned around, his face was calm.
He looked at the anxious-looking accompanying officials in front of him and said softly: "If the dam and water reduction dam are destroyed, the court can still allocate money and food, and Pan Deshan can continue to lead the people from the river governor's office to rebuild it.
River management is a national policy, it is the foundation for our Ming Dynasty to last forever, and it is something that Hongwu’s New Deal must do!
I don’t believe it, but I, the Ming Dynasty, can’t do this.
If you don’t believe it, it’s hard for man to defeat God.
I firmly believe that man can conquer heaven!"
After finishing speaking, he looked back at Sun Cheng who was holding the Fengyang Mansion Jizi in his hand.
Gao Yangzhi, who was beside him, felt slightly at peace. Taisun's words did not mention much, but they had already defined the matter.
This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster.
In this way, whether it is the Sansi Yamen of Henan Province, the Yamen of the Governor of Hedao, or Pan Deshan, who is the Governor-General of Hedao, they can calmly cope with the next test and scrutiny from all parties.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the destruction of the check dam and water reduction dam is really just a natural disaster?
Gao Yangzhi had doubts in his heart.
On the other end, Sun Cheng had already opened the quick-play plywood sent by Fengyang Mansion at Zhu Yunxi's signal and started reading.
Fengyang's quick note was very brief.
Except for the beginning and the end, everything is written according to the formula, and the content is only one sentence.
"The ministers and others were unaware that the useless Zhu Yunwen and his wife had left the city. They had not been seen for a long time. The government could not search for them. Everything in the imperial city was found."
The cripple disappeared.
This news, at this moment, in a sense, is more serious and impactful than what happened in Hedao.
Immediately, the accompanying censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate spoke in the queue: "Your Highness, I would like to ask Your Highness to return to Fengyang City, and the army will be dispatched to search for the crippled man!"
This is a matter related to the inheritance of the clan and the peace of the country, and there is no room for sloppiness.
The imperial court could allow the royal family to be especially kind to the disabled person. Even when the disabled person got married according to the standards of the imperial prince, no one came out to object.
But now this useless man who was involved in the coup has disappeared!
Who knows what he is going to do, who knows what he can do!
If we don't track down and find each other at this time, where is the legitimacy of these people in the court now?
Zhu Yunxi's eyes were gloomy.
No matter how innovative the imperial court is, how can it appoint new people?
In the minds of officials, political power is far more important than the people.
This is the truth.
He just said lightly: "Didn't any of his belongings be taken away from the Zhongdu Imperial City?"
Gao Yangzhi glanced at Sun Cheng and whispered: "According to the news from Fengyang, he should not have been taken away, but he is missing."
Replied.
Gao Yangzhi asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, should we continue going north or go back south now?"
