I am the king of the dead

Tongzhengshi is an official of the third grade. Although this official position is not high in rank, it is the master of the bank, and it is a humble and powerful position in the true sense.

The envoy of the general administration is responsible for conveying the situation from above to below, guarding against the entry and exit of official documents by various divisions, reporting to the Quartet, confirming feudal advice, making complaints, and reporting on military affairs and disasters.

What does the envoy do?Discuss big politics, big prisons, and ministers of civil and military affairs.

After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, for a long time, the Tongzhengshi was actually Wenyuan Pavilion.

Why did Zhu Qiyu suddenly propose the appointment of a new envoy?

In fact, the law of historical development has arrived.

The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Department of General Affairs at the beginning was not only to let the envoys sort out the memorials by category, but also a key purpose, that is: to achieve the words of the world since the four Cong.

The Tongzheng envoy is in charge of the peasants in the villages and villages in the world, and is responsible for rumors and rumors.

Now that the farm law is developing very smoothly, the demand for the words of the world has become increasingly strong, and a person is needed to help deal with the orders of the commanding officer.

However, the affairs in the countryside are very complicated and need to be handled by a person with the Secretary of General Administration.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to do this?" Yu Qian frowned.

It seems that he is the only courtier who takes both the military and the government in the court, who has always spoken the word of the world, and who is good at dealing with the common people.

Chapter 2 The way the country employs people

Tongzheng envoys, the officials use the name of Tongzheng, and the politics are like water, and they want it to be always open without obstruction.

Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of the government is like water, and the role of the Tongzheng Secretary is to dredge the waterways so that they will not be blocked.

However, the duties of the Tongzheng Envoy are gradually being replaced by Wenyuan Pavilion, and even the Supervisor of Rituals has a library dedicated to managing memorials and presenting them to the imperial court.

Zhu Qiyu did not intend to demolish Wenyuan Pavilion when he re-appointed the general manager. Apart from Chen Xun's fondness for chattering about scriptures that he himself didn't believe in, on the whole, apart from being a bit pedantic, he did a good job.

Zhu Qiyu intends to let Yu Qian officially lead the words of the world with three thousand farms, eighteen thousand miles, 180 million households, and nearly ten million people.

This matter seems difficult, but it is nothing more than Chen Tiao, who is in charge of more than [-] commanders. With the cooperation of the entire General Administration Department, it is not much more than the Ministry of War.

But the affairs of the common people are complicated. People can be killed because of a wall, they can die because of a canal, and they can turn upside down because of a poplar tree to cover another house. These things are dealt with. thread.

But Yu Qian has ample experience in dealing with the people.

"The matter of the Ministry of War can be temporarily put aside and handed over to Chen Ruyan." Zhu Qiyu answered Yu Qian's question, and he did intend to let Yu Qian go up secretly.

But Yu Qian shook his head and said: "It's better for me to lead the affairs of the Ministry of War. Chen Ruyan said he..."

Chen Ruyan once impeached him too modestly, and Zhu Qiyu refuted Chen Ruyan at the beginning, telling Chen Ruyan to stop making noises and take a good look at what kind of person Yu Qian is before impeaching him.

Chen Ruyan was the left servant of the Ministry of War, and Luo Tong was the right servant of the Ministry of War, but Luo Tong went out with the army this time, and Luo Tong participated in the martial arts lecture hall, which meant he planned to switch from civil to military.

Wang Ji can be named uncle.

Although Luo Tong was born as a Jinshi, he already had the power to win the victory. He defended Juyong Pass, allowing Yang Hong's reinforcements to rush to the capital as quickly as possible. Even if you have military exploits, you can be named Bo.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of War was obtained by Chen Ruyan, the left servant.

Yu Qian was not too satisfied with Chen Ruyan, and Zhu Qiyu was not too satisfied with Chen Ruyan.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I hate this person, it's that Chen Ruyan can't bear this great responsibility." Yu Qian bowed his head and said.

Yu Qian has always done things with a clear distinction between public and private. For example, Shi Heng's Marquis Wuqing was invited by Yu Qian for Shi Heng with his achievements in defending the capital. You must know that Shi Heng was not a Bohou before that.

But Shi Heng and Yu Qian can't say that they are incompatible, they can only say that they are fighting to the death.

Until now, Yu Qian and Shi Heng are still not very good at dealing with each other. Shi Heng's words that Yu Qian will be killed when he arrives in Datong are very harsh.

Yu Qian visited Kyushu outside the mountains last year, and went everywhere, but he didn't enter Datong Mansion, but in Yanghe County. After meeting Yue Qian, he went to Dongshengwei. (99 chapters)

Yu Qian was not afraid of Shi Heng or Shi Heng's old department in Datong, but afraid that Shi Heng's old department would suddenly become messy.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, and the governor of the capital's military affairs and the chief military officer of the capital's capital had another quarrel. Wasn't it a joke for the Wala people?

Just like when Lin Xiangru met Lian Po in the alley, Lin Xiangru immediately gave way, just to prevent the two tigers of Qin from fighting together, and the poisonous plan that was inherently powerful did not succeed.

At that time, the Qin State's poisonous scheme separated Lin Xiangru and Lian Po. After Lin Xiangru learned about it, he backed down everywhere in the court and the opposition, just to prevent the situation where the two tigers were fighting together.

Yu Qian is very clear about public and private, public is public, private is private.

Therefore, if Yu Qian said that Chen Ruyan was unbearable, he probably was unbearable.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu also knew that this Chen Ruyan was nothing more than a mediocre person.

On the same stage as Yu Qian, Hu Wei, Jin Lian, Wang Zhi, Yu Shiyue, Shi Pu, etc., even Chen Xun and Chen Ruyan can't compare. At least Chen Xun can explain the truth clearly, although his truth may not be all right.

Chen Ruyan can only echo what others say.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Then, is there anyone for Yu Shaobao to be the general manager?"

There are enough things for the Ministry of War, and if there is one more thing about the general manager, Yu Qian's mental strength may not be able to bear it.

Yu Qian thought for a long time before saying: "Wang Wen has been in charge of the region for more than ten years, and he can be used as a temporary acting envoy. Originally, the Metropolitan Procuratorate overlapped with the Department of General Affairs."

"I think that the most suitable one is to select one of the commanders. They are better at dealing with the people than the ministers."

There needs to be a commanding officer in the court, but the seniority of the commanding officer is still young at the moment. Wait a few years, and when the commanding officers really grow up, they can be selected by the commanding officer.

Yu Qian has his reasons for saying this.

Why did the once-famous Tongzheng Envoy, who was originally the head of the Great Nine Ministers, and who was in charge of internal and external memorials, application, and rebuttals, quickly decline?

One is that King Jili ascended the throne with Youchong, Sange Lao Yang Rong, etc., considering that the holy body of King Jili was easy to wear out, and because of the innovative system, only eight things were allowed to be said in the morning court every day.

King Jili was strong, he assisted the country with three Yangs, and died one after another, but no one said to restore the old system of the ancestors.

Why is no one talking about restoring the old system of the ancestors?

Sometimes it's not the eunuch Wang Zhen who has power to block things like this. Some courtiers also have some intentions to deceive the saints. If His Majesty doesn't mention it, they don't talk about it at all.

Second, it is the words of the world since the Secretary of the General Administration, but in the end the envoy of the General Administration came from a rich family background, how can he understand the suffering of the people?

The Secretary of General Administration lost its original function, like water without roots, lost its cornerstone, and was gradually annexed by Wenyuan Pavilion.

If His Majesty wants to restore the government envoy, so that there will be no obstruction, then he must find someone who understands the sufferings of the people and deal with the old things.

Yu Qian said with certainty: "Your Majesty, if one day your Majesty cultivates a great success in a hundred years, I think that military students from farms and military guards will be more worthy of reuse."

He is from Qiantang, and there was a flood that year, flooding everywhere, Qiantang county government was located on a high ground, and was not affected by the disaster.

As the so-called Yazhai listened to Xiao Xiaozhu, it was suspected to be the voice of suffering among the people.

Without understanding the sufferings of the people, how can the herdsmen guard the land as an official?

Yang Hong remained silent all this time, fiddling with the huge map on the table. This time, General Pingkou was Yang Hong's seal, and the governor of the military affairs of the Beijing camp was still Yu Qian, but the two of them did not leave Beijing and went out with the army.

But they will be here, after summarizing the news of various soldiers and horses, inserting them on the geomancy map, marking the marching route.

"What do Marquis Changping think?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Yang Hong said with a smile on his face, "I'm a warrior. If you want to talk about fighting, I can talk about it for three days and three nights. But when it comes to the ability to govern the country, your Majesty should ask Yu Shaobao more. I don't understand."

Does Yang Hong understand?In fact, Yang Hong understands it very well.

But he didn't really want to say, since the beginning of the orthodox dynasty, how many military officers have chosen to hibernate to protect themselves?

Even a smooth veteran like Chen Mao, and even a British prince like Zhang Fu, who has conquered the country and made him a prince, has been tossed into what kind of situation?

But at this time His Majesty asked, this is the Jingtai Dynasty after all, and it is an unorthodox Dynasty, His Majesty is open to speak out and accept good words.

Yang Hong thought for a while and said: "Yu Shaobao is worried about the country, and what he said is very reasonable, but according to Yichen, some civil servants in Beijing should actually go to the local area to practice."

"Then Zhu Chun is also an old pedant. After several years of hard work, he seems to be confused, and he is not ambiguous. He often gives relief to the border people. The money sent back to the south to sell the paintings is also bought. Food, relief to the victims gone."

"Yu Shaobao and Wang Zongxian, aren't they both like this, are they only able to make real gold through hard work in the local area?"

Zhu Chun has been in the Ministry of Military Affairs during the orthodox years, and worked in the Xuanfu. Yang Hong garrisoned Kaipingwei, and had a lot of contacts with Zhu Chun.

When Zhu Chun first arrived at the Xuanfu, his nostrils were upturned. After a few years, he gradually understood that the book of sages is a book of sages, but doing things only with the books of sages will not achieve anything.

Yang Hong continued: "Actually, the principle is the same as your Majesty's use of generals now. Your Majesty uses good fighters instead of descendants of honorable ministers."

"Your Majesty sees those descendants of honorable ministers, who are full of ugly appearances in the lecture hall, so naturally he is unwilling to use them, but in fact, they are brave and usable talents who have been trained on the frontier for several years and then lead troops in battle."

At this time, Yu Qian and Yang Hong were discussing the way the country employs people, and what they said made sense.

Yang Hong kept putting red flags on the Kanyu map, and soon half of the map was filled with small black flags, all of which were bandits from various cottages.

The blue flag is the marching position.

Zhu Qiyu, Yang Hong, and Yu Qian spent a long time pointing the country at a map, only to realize that they had only received news, and the generals were still responsible for the actual battle.

After the three of them reacted, they shook their heads and laughed.

It seems to be talking about war on paper, but it is Yang Hong who is checking the combat effectiveness of Daming's army.

Zhu Qiyu returned to Tai'an Palace on time, and continued to deal with the official documents of the imperial court. The temporary envoy was handed over to Wang Wen. After the Commander grew up, he would slowly select him.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist, let out a breath, and looked at the sign in the drawer, only Tang Yunyan turned over the sign.

One queen and one concubine are all pregnant, Li Xi'er came to Tiankui, Zhu Qiyu's harem can be said to be quite simple.

In turn, Zhu Qiyu put Tang Yunyan's sign on, and said to Xing'an, "Sleep in the Imperial Study Room today."

When the army went to battle, Zhu Qiyu didn't have much love for his children. He stood on the Kanyu map for a long time before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, at five o'clock, although he did not go to court, Zhu Qiyu stepped out of the gate of Tai'an Palace on time and arrived at the Wufeng Tower of Xizhimen, where he wanted to send off the Ming soldiers who were about to go to battle.

As soon as he went upstairs, Zhu Qiyu saw that Yang Hong was also upstairs. He was wearing a big cloak. Although it was only October, Yang Hong was no longer able to withstand the cold. .

A life of seventy has been rare since ancient times. Yang Hong is very greedy now. He is willing to stay in the martial arts hall for a while every day, read more the study books of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, look at the soldiers who trained hard, and take a look at the Ming Dynasty. Towards slowly recovering armaments.

When the sky was turning white, Daming's two camps located outside Xizhimen and Zhangyimen moved slowly towards the direction of Taihang Mountain.

Rows of sergeants formed four columns. They pushed Wugang chariots, chanting chant in the morning dew, and with the melodious sound of horns, they filed out from the three earth cities outside the capital and rushed to the predetermined battlefield.

"Wu Gang's chariot." Zhu Qiyu looked at the soldiers in the sky and said with emotion.

Chapter 2

Yang Hong looked at Zhu Qiyu with a smile on his face. He had no idea that His Majesty had the habit of seeing him off, so he stood in the strong wind and watched the soldiers of Daming go to the battlefield.

He was quite surprised that His Majesty knew that the carts pushed by the soldiers were called Wu Gang carts.

Wugang chariot is a light vehicle with a towel and a cover. It can transport gunpowder, grain and grass and other supplies at ordinary times. It can be lined up in a row during battle and used as a camp. There are also four shooting holes for shooting with crossbow arrows.

The Wu Gang chariot of the Ming Dynasty was born out of the decisive victory chariot built by the second emperor Beishou and Zong Ze when he was staying behind in Kaifeng capital in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Any armament does not come out of thin air, but rises from the ground.

Daming's Wu Gang Chariot is an out-and-out offensive weapon. In grassland warfare, this type of cart is the most useful. Even if it is temporarily stationed, it is excellent to form a circle to defend against the enemy with firearms.

During Emperor Taizong Wen's second Northern Expedition, he built 30 Wugang chariots to transport grain and grass with the army, and only then did he have a journey of thousands of miles.

It took six full years to gather enough strength. The first World War broke the backs of the Tatars.

For more than 40 years, the Tatars still haven't calmed down. Although Tuotuobuhua is still a Khan, they were overthrown by the Oirats.

Yang Hong also went out with the army back then, how heroic was Emperor Taizong Wen?

"Crossing the river, crossing the river, crossing the river, the eternal masterpiece." Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath. He not only knew the function of Wu Gang chariot, but also knew the origin of Wu Gang chariot. It was Zong Ze's decisive chariot.

Crossing the river were Zongze's last three words before his illness and death.

It is a pity that until Liu Futong's suicide three-way northern expedition, the Yuan Dynasty fell apart, and no Han army had ever crossed the Yellow River again.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak anymore, this time there was melodious singing again, besides Yu Qian's blunderbuss song, there was also a red scarf song. Amid the sound of beating drums, the four soldiers left the two camps slowly.

Yang Hong returned to the lecture hall with His Majesty. Yang Hong's sacrifice of wine, now he has no military affairs, but to sort out the list of military students in the lecture hall next year and other matters in the lecture hall.

There are also some descendants of the old relatives of honored ministers who have not completed their studies, waiting for Yang Hong and others to teach and give them extra lessons.

If next year, the descendants of these old relatives who failed to graduate still fail to graduate, they will be sent to Kaiping Guards to guard the border for a year, and they will continue to be evaluated in the lecture hall when they come back. If they fail, they will be sent directly to Jiaozhi went.

Zhu Qiyu handled the official documents in an orderly manner. After Wang Wen, the general manager, took office, the words of the world on Zhu Qiyu's desk finally became orderly.

In the early morning of the next day, on the official road of Daming, the stage horses were galloping fast.

The postman leaned over and tried to maintain his balance. The horse was galloping on the road. There was a bell hanging around the horse's neck. When it was galloping, the bell could be heard two miles away.

After hearing the bell, the postmen of the water horse post and delivery station immediately began to select the post horses, turned on the horses, and immediately mounted the horses and galloped.

The speed of the front horse is relatively slow. When the rear horse and the front horse are parallel, the horses will not stop. On the horses, the postmen will deliver the official documents.

Then the front horse started to speed up and galloped towards the capital again.

Repeatedly, until the army reported to the capital.
