In fact, ministers also marry in private, and even form alliances secretly. For example, Wang Zhiren and Zhang Mingzhen used to have a good relationship, and later they married their children. Zhang Mingzhen married Huang and Zheng Zhilong, and Wu Kai and Wang Xiang married Shen Wenzhong and Yang Boxing.
They jumped into the country together, and later became the emperor's confidant, both civil and military. They also arranged marriages between young military commanders and civil servants, and civil servants married civil servants. In addition, they also had relatives, brothers, companies, in-laws, etc., and formed various networks. For example, they were married before
Ding Chu, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who was dismissed by Zhu Yihai, had his nephew Ding Qi, who was originally a bachelor of the Chong Dynasty and later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Ding Chu secretly contacted Ding Chu and brought Ding Qi and Ding Qiguang brothers over again. They also revolted against the Qing Dynasty in Henan. Zhu Yihai
Later, Gong Qiguang was also awarded the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Regiment Training. For example, Daqi, who was once a bachelor, had seven Jinshis from his brother, son, daughter, and in-laws, not counting the two families.
The relatives of the clan are second to none, and the marriages are even better. All the sons and daughters of the family are Jinshi in the Shaotian Dynasty. Now there are many emerging nobles. For example, Zhang Mingzhen was named Duke of Chu, and he was promoted to the governor. He also had three brothers, one
Now he is a civil servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the other two are admirals. The three brothers have all been granted titles. The two and one uncles have four brothers in the family. The first uncle, the second uncle and the guide, plus the sons of their four brothers, have all begun to work in the civil service.
He had military positions, and there were even two who had already been granted the title of uncle based on their military merits. The family had been granted the title for six generations. Many people in the emerging dynasty were related to each other. Naturally, Zhu Yihai also acted as an emperor to the emperor.
Everything, every word and deed, Zhu Yihai now likes to learn from General Tiance Li Shimin, the prime minister of the Li Shimin Dynasty. He can't escape sending his daughter to the palace, or doing such things. In fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it. Anyway, fight.
The civil and military generals, that is, the soldiers under the imperial camp, are now starting to form a somewhat exclusive circle. They feel that the imperial camp is well treated, the wealth does not go to outsiders, and they even get married to take care of each other. This is a very realistic consideration. Now in the Shaotian Dynasty, there are
There are several very powerful military general families, including Duke Zhiren of Yue State, Duke Zhang Mingzhen of Chu State, Duke Wu Kai of Wu State, Duke Wang Xiang, the foreigner Liangyu, the Xingguo Li Chixin, and the Duke of Ping Zheng Zhilong and other five adopted sons of the emperor.
It also represents the five emerging generals. Others such as Yang Boxing, Liu, Zheng Zunqian, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Yi, Xiang Guan, Jin Gongyu, and Liu Shi are all already under the same banner. "Under the banner, I have been suffering from foot illness recently.
The pain in his legs and feet was unbearable, and it was difficult to walk. The minister asked to resign from the military position and concentrate on recuperating at home. In a good mood, Wang Zhiren actually submitted his resignation after accepting the banknote returned by the emperor. Zhu Yihai looked at him with a glass of wine, "But because of Fang Yu et al.
Bullets?"
Wang Zhiren silently read the bullets of Fang Yu and others, but he didn’t agree with them. He ignored them all. Why should Wang worry about them? He is a general, and he is an official. It is normal for an official to find fault. He knows what is right and wrong. "
Fang Yu was one of the four great masters of Fushe. When he first came to join Zhu Yihai, Zhu Yihai asked them to run the Fuxing Newspaper. Later, the four of them became public officials, and along the way, they achieved the goal of giving all the palm seals of the six subjects to Shizhong. After the official position was reorganized, they also became the third-rank purple robe.
When the ministers came to the court, they also ran a new newspaper, and they were also entrusted to their editors. These four people have been in charge of six subjects in the past few years. They are also good supervisors. They run the newspaper according to orders and are also good mouthpieces. They have also won a great reputation in the government and the opposition.
The next king Zhiren besieged the state and rushed to break the city before the New Year. After entering the city, he slaughtered the stubborn defenders in the city. More than 20,000 people not only killed the Manchus and Mencius in the city, but also killed all their family members, old and weak, and even
Han military flags, Han Chinese coats, slaves, and their families were also killed. This was the first massacre of the city since the Ming army's Northern Expedition. Although Wang Zhiren reported to the court that all those killed were the Qing army and their recalcitrant families, but
This explains that many people in the court did not approve of Fang Yu and took the lead in attacking Wang Zhiren. They listed many crimes such as massacre of the city, indiscriminate killing, and plundering. In fact, there are some historical reasons for attacking the king like this. Wang Zhiren's eldest brother Wang Zhixin was the chief eunuch of the Chong Dynasty.
The person in charge of Dongchang is the party that Donglin and Fushe hate most. Wang Zhixin has a history of corruption and violence, so he has indeed done something to Donglin. The two sides have old grudges. Wang Zhiren was also a libertine in the past. Quan
Relying on his brother's relationship, he rose through the ranks in the late Ming Dynasty and became a general in charge of the army. Because he defected to Zhu Yihai earlier, his status in the Shaotian Dynasty has always been very high. However, Wang Zhiren has always been in charge of the troops in the Beijing camp and belongs to another group outside the imperial camp.
Shaotian's main force, Wang Zhiren, led the troops to fight, and many of the old military habits were still left over, such as looting and disturbing the people, and even some false claims of military merit. In the past, there were many officials from Donglin Fushe in the front area.
Bullets, but these are some individual problems of the soldiers below, not very serious. Although Wang Zhiren will be punished, it will not be too harsh after all. But Wang Zhiren has always been relatively good, how can he be so angry?
Therefore, not only did he openly scold these people but also wanted to start a party dispute. He even caught some Donglin Party members and families in their own defense zone for their illegal behavior and severely dealt with the conflicts between the two parties.
Fang Yu seized the opportunity and must put Wang Zhiren to death. After all, he massacred more than 20,000 people at one time. Although he did not massacre all the people in the city, it was indeed a bit shocking. Moreover, the state was still the home of Emperor Zhu Yihai.
Zhu Yihai, an old fiefdom for hundreds of years, was also somewhat dissatisfied with this matter. Wang Zhiren should not have killed him like this. When he was in Jinan, he only killed some officers and treated the others separately. Manzi went to the mines as slaves, Mengzi was exiled and reformed.
All the Han people in the Qing army immigrated to Taiwan to reclaim wasteland, and the officers in the Han army banner were also executed. But Wang Zhiren killed them all, and even because the killing was excessive, there was looting in the city. But he was a general after all, and Zhu Yihai also hated him.
Son, just kill him. You can't go deep into the general's merits just because of a group of people. This is also in the Shaotian Dynasty. In the past, this was not a problem. But Fang Yu held on to it, regardless of the emperor's wishes. On the contrary,
By controlling the editor-in-chief of several major newspapers and periodicals, and even using his influence in the court, he made the matter more and more serious, and even spread it to the people, making negative remarks against Wang Zhiren. He almost wanted the whole people to judge Wang Zhiren and kidnap him.
The emperor's intention has actually touched Zhu Yihai's red line. He is more dissatisfied than Wang Zhiren's behavior. Now there are many discussions, and Wang Zhiren has been described as a big warlord with no one to control him, etc., which makes everyone denounce Wang Zhiren today.
He took the initiative to resign and chose this time to specially gather with the Yuan people. It was not for other reasons, but because he really felt the tremendous pressure. There was no other way. His family now has father and son as public ministers. In addition, his brothers, nephews, adopted sons, etc.
With many holding important positions in the military, his daughter also entering the palace, and marrying many generals, he had to avoid the spotlight and had to ask for resignation, hoping to calm down the controversy and stop the fire from burning. "Today is not about talking about
At this time, I will not agree to your resignation. You are still in your prime and a general in the army. Now that the Northern Expedition has not yet succeeded, how can you choose your son?
This matter will be officially dealt with in the next two days. We will discuss the matter on a case-by-case basis. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. You did make a mistake, but it is not that big of a mistake. Fang Yu provoked this matter this time. To put it simply,
It may be an old grudge between the party and Donglin, but if you look into it in detail, it may be a big contest between the military and civilian officials. The military commanders of the Shaotian Dynasty have already had a very high status. No longer can a prefect be able to overpower the general.
, a military preparation road can make the general soldiers of a town kneel down. Although the court also has governors, governors, and even managers, there are also separate patrols for each road, but after the eunuchs were abolished to control the soldiers and supervise the army, the civil servants
In terms of supervising the army, many restrictions have been added to the army's own system. For example, the person responsible for supervising the army is now the chief historian, and the chief historian is no longer the censor sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or someone with the title of censor.
Civil servants are dispatched by the Ministry of War. Even many military generals are still responsible for food, but they are also their own systems. In short, military commanders now have a high status, and they even feel that they suppress civil servants. This has made things worse since the Tumubao Incident.
Afterwards, the civil servants who had completely taken charge of the government were naturally a little dissatisfied. This incident could be regarded as an explosion. However, this kind of momentum was exactly the opposite for the emperor. He would not tolerate kidnapping, whether it was military generals or civil servants.
, must not force his will. Fang Yu kidnaps public opinion and oppresses the emperor. This is the most inappropriate thing. Even if Wang Zhiren is not forced to resign today, Zhu Yihai has already decided to clean up Fang Yu severely after the Zhengdan meeting and fight a few
Go ahead and shock them. Zhu Yihai has never simply distinguished between loyal ministers and traitorous ministers, nor does he distinguish things by party status. The last time Gu Xianshou and other Donglin Party launched an impeachment case against Damascus Shiying and others, Zhu Yihai personally handled it in the end.
Get them all out. Now the big case of Wang Zhiren's impeachment has arisen again in Fangyu. This time it won't work if we don't deal with it more harshly. Although there was this small episode, but with the emperor's guarantee, Wang Zhiren finally thanked him and withdrew his resignation. Next, the emperor continued
Recalling the beginning of the war with everyone, I also thank everyone for their support along the way. Liu, Zheng Zunqian, Shen Wenzhong, Yan Wogong and other Yuan Cong were all drunk. In the end, they went outside the boat on the ice and set off fireworks together until very late.
After they dispersed, "Do you really want to deal with Fang Yu?" When he returned to the palace, Liu Chao couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think he should be punished?" Liu Chao reminded the emperor that the fourth son of Fang Yu had a very high reputation in the government and the public in recent years, even as good as
Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozong and others were even called loyal ministers, and some people called them Zhengma Zhou of Shaotian Dynasty. If the emperor punished them, it might cause some criticism. But Zhu Yihai just smiled, and he reached out to take a few falling snowflakes.
, watching the snowflakes melt into water in the palm of his hand, "Actually, Fang Yu and others are held in one hand. Although they can be scattered in the sky and earth, in fact, they are nothing."
Whether they let four people run the newspaper at first, or later let them have six subjects and regular seals, it was all needed by the emperor, and they also used their talents and reputations. But if they wanted to challenge the emperor, it would be a big mistake. "In fact, they also
"They are not treacherous ministers." Liu Chao couldn't help but speak for them. Zhu Yihai laughed and looked back at the loyal eunuch. "I know that if they were really treacherous ministers and traitors, how could they be kept here until now? But if they make mistakes, they must be punished, especially this
If you make a mistake, you must be punished, otherwise you will go further next time. You don’t have to worry about them, and you are not a fool. When you give punishment, it is before and after, so that they can repent and correct themselves."
Zhu Yihai looked at the snowflakes, "The Fourth Young Master has indeed become famous in recent years. They are still young, so they may have lost themselves a little. After a few years, they will be sent to Taiwan to serve as prefects for three years. It just so happens that Taiwan has established Taitung, Tainan, Taipei, and Taichung.
In the Fourth Prefecture, they have been scientific and technical officials for several years, and editor-in-chief for several years. They are either writing or talking, and they have not done anything practical yet. If they want to be prime ministers and assistants in the future, how can they be less important to the local prefectures?
County experience?
Let’s take this opportunity to let them go to the most remote Taiwan to serve as people-friendly officials, manage affairs, and engage in land reclamation and development. If they can calm down their mentality, work hard, and still achieve something, that means that
They deserve to be reused more. If they are complaining because of this, or if they are too talkative and unable to do practical things, then their upper limit is only this."
Liu Chao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the emperor wanted to send them to Taiwan's third-grade prefect of the sixth grade. He was known as the Prime Minister and had a bright future, especially because he was well-known in both the government and the public. But now he wanted to be the fourth-grade prefect, and Taiwan was a newly developed immigration land.
?
How many immigrants are there now? In total, they are estimated to be only a few hundred thousand. It is a barbaric place, more terrifying than Hainan Island or even Yunnan and Guizhou. Can these political upstarts withstand such a blow?
"Liu Chao, you don't have to think about that for them. You know that you are a loyal person, but there are some things that you shouldn't interfere with. Liu Chao knelt down and said, "Slaves deserve to die. You shouldn't interfere in government affairs."
"Get up, I know you are not selfish, let alone accepting money from anyone, you are worried about it, but don't worry, there are some things that you and I stand in different positions, and you can't see what you can see."
The Fourth Young Master of Fushe has indeed been having too smooth sailing in the past few years. With the full support of the emperor, standing in that important position, and suddenly gaining fame, they felt that it was all due to their own abilities. They mistook the platform for their personal abilities.
Whether it's Fuxing Bao, Bao Bao, or even the Sixth Section's handprint is given to Shizhong, it's all arranged by the emperor and the result of the emperor's support. But they use this platform to bring in private goods and don't even listen to the emperor's orders.
Warning, this must be taken care of and cleaned up. The emperor is still celebrating the New Year in Beijing this year. There are even prefectures in Henan, Nanyang has not been recovered, and Hubei has not yet been recovered. Some people have begun to fight among themselves.
How could Zhu Yihai condone such behavior that disregarded the overall situation?
Being exiled to Taiwan as magistrates is already Zhu Yihai's recognition of their abilities and even an expression of their achievements in the past few years. Otherwise, he would directly give them the title of county magistrate or even county. I hope they can cherish this opportunity!
