Yang Peng appeared in Beizhen Fusi with brisk steps.
When he was supervising Dongchang, he often came to this place. Although he is now serving as a eunuch in Yumajian, it seems that he is not as prosperous as before, but because he is now a member of Zhang Zhou, he will be transferred to Liaodong soon. As a senior official guarding one side, he was still full of expectations.
"Immortal Master."
When Yang Peng saw Zhang Zhou, he did not kneel down, but his respectful attitude made it clear that he regarded Zhang Zhou as a direct Boss.
Zhang Yu just glanced at Yang Peng, and then Guo Ang personally led people to escort him down.
In the lobby of Beizhen Fusi, Zhang Zhou and Yang Peng were left, and beside them stood Wang Mingshan, who had nothing to do with her.
Zhang Zhou said, "Eunuch Yang, being transferred from Beijing to Liaodong is a hard job. Your Majesty asked me to give you a few words before you leave to let you know what to do after you go to Liaodong. But I'm not sending you an errand, just think of me as an ordinary Six-Buddhist minister." "Wherever you are, your little guidance will be of great benefit to me." Yang Peng. Pay homage to Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou smiled.
Since the fall of Li Guang, Yang Peng has been trying to survive in the cracks. He has been able to survive until now because he thought he was a good person. In this regard, Yang Peng and those who dare not touch Yang Peng Everyone knows it.
He did not support Yang Peng explicitly, but everyone thought that he would support Yang Peng, so Yang Peng got to his current status.
"The Three Duoyan Guards, also known as the Three Uliangha Tribes in the mouths of the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, are now weak. Large areas of land outside Liaodong are no longer grazed by people. The Ming Dynasty wants to be on the east side of the Chahar Tribe. Gradually it began to expand, incorporating some small and medium-sized tribes, and using them as a barrier."
"The Jianzhou Jurchens are now either destroyed or moved inland to Liao. In the southern land, reclaiming wasteland, Ming Dynasty will achieve self-sufficiency in Liaodong in the next two years, including establishing shipyards and transportation transfer stations along the coast of Liaodong, and adding some iron-making workshops in Liaodong. All of this requires you. To implement it."
"This is it."
"Originally, His Majesty intended to move 300,000 soldiers and civilians from Shandong, Henan and other places to Liaodong to increase Liaodong's defense, but because It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the people are unwilling to migrate. My opinion is to develop Liaodong first. When the conditions there are better, people will naturally be willing to go there. This requires your efforts, Eunuch Yang."
Yang Peng couldn't help but ask, "How far will it develop?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "A few days ago, I didn't ask you to go to Xishan to see how you think Xishan is developing now."
< p>Yang Peng swallowed and said, "Very good. There are many people in that place, and many people have passed there. Now it looks like a small capital.""Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded. He said, "In the future of Liaodong, let's aim at Xishan."
"Ah"
When Yang Peng heard this, he said, "Good guy, only the emperor can develop a world under his feet."It is Xishan, and Xishan is supported by coal and has a strong industrial system. The key point is that the consumer market is right next to it, plus there are various military orders from the imperial court.
And a place like Liaodong with high mountains and far away from the emperor can develop into the prosperity of Xishan within a few lifetimes
Zhang Zhou said, "I am not giving you a problem. To develop Liaodong, you must naturally have some To rely on industry, we must first establish transportation. You also know that the Ming Dynasty now has an additional governor of the Bohai Sea, that is, Tang Yin. He will soon come to the capital to report on his duties. At that time, some maritime ferries will be established around the Bohai Sea, and Liaodong It's also his stop."
"Yes." Yang Peng didn't understand.
"The new governor of Liaodong, Han Zhong, has been transferred to Liaodong, and the former governor of Liaodong, Lu Wan, will be transferred back to the capital. The Liaodong Army will soon undergo a purge. The action will not be too big. After you go there, you can You must learn to restrain yourself and don’t hehe.”
Zhang Zhou was reminding Yang Peng that with your urinary nature, if you go to the northwest, you will probably be the second Ren Liang, or even worse than Ren Liang. .
Yang Peng quickly expressed his position: "You should take the orders of Your Majesty and Master Zhang Xian first, and dare not make mistakes."
"Your Majesty's orders are still dangerous, as for my orders , Haha, just refer to it." Zhang Zhou looked at this "loyal" subordinate with a smile, "But we can't mess with the general policy. With the situation in Liaodong now, it's hard to provoke a big war. Difficult, even if there is, it is the slave's business. You are here to build Greater Liaodong."
The word "construction" is new to Yang Peng.
Zhang Zhoudao said: "It means turning Liaodong into a fertile land. In the future, Liaodong may be separated from the Shandong Chief Envoy Department. There are also ways to build more key passes and fortresses in Liaodong, and there is also the need to strictly govern the Jurchens. , in case they have evil intentions against Daming in the future."
"Oh, I understand, I understand." Yang Peng still seemed to understand.
The cabinet is valued.
Xie Qian went out all morning, and finally got the exact news when he came back, and told Liu Jian and Li Dongyang the news.
"It has been decided that the governor of Liaodong and other places will be Yin Hanzhong of the former Shuntian Prefecture, who also serves as the right deputy censor of the capital. His Majesty the Zhongguan will choose Yang Peng, the eunuch of the former governor of Dongchang. This Yang Peng's background is not small, you two should have heard about it."
Han Zhong is not unfamiliar to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang. After all, Shuntian Prefecture Yin is the highest local administrator in the capital, with a rank of They are all different from ordinary Fu Yin.
Li Dongyang said, "The right deputy censor of the capital and the governor of Liaodong can be regarded as a promotion."
Originally, the governor of Liaodong was transferred from the censor of the right capital of the capital procuratorate. That's fine, but now that the right deputy censor is transferred, it means that the defense of Liaodong has been improved by one level. This is higher than the governors of Jizhou, Governor Baoding, Neisanguan, Ningxia, etc., and is higher than that of Xuanfu , Governor Yansui was equalized.
Liu Jian's focus was not on Han Zhong. He said, "This Yang Peng has too much contact with Zhang Bingkuan. It is said thatWe also went to Jiangnan together."
Xie Qian laughed and said, "That's what happened. Lu Wan is Zhang Bingkuan's man. I thought that after replacing him, Liaodong should do some sorting, but it turned out that he was replaced. There is something special about asking an internal official who is close to him to go there. "
Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "Even if there is contact between the middle official and the foreign minister, to what extent will it be possible? Zhang Bingkuan is not afraid that the official will impeach him."
Xie Qian said, " His Majesty's instructions, so what if he participates in the impeachment? In the past few years, Zhang Bingkuan has suffered less criticism. ”
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside, but someone from Zhongshushe brought in two boxes of memorials. Xie Qian went over to explain, and Xie Qian carried them to the side.
"Why are there so many?" Xie Qian seemed to complain.
Li Dongyang picked up a few copies and read them, and said, "Some of them were sent from General Secretary Si Gang, and some were from Liuzhong. Your Majesty has been there recently." There was some slack in approving memorials, especially after the start of the Northwest War, and His Majesty was delayed in approving memorials that were related to people's livelihood in Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places. The Supervisor of Ceremonies seems to be in turmoil now."
Liu Jian stared at some memorials and said, "Your Majesty seems to have never even opened the recent memorials. ”
Originally, the cabinet drafted the impeachment memorial. What it looked like originally was what it looked like when it was sent back.
Let's redraw the ticket plan."
"Just wait. Li Dongyang said, "The ones that have just arrived should be dealt with first. As for those that are delayed, there will be an edict telling how to deal with them, etc. It seems to be about the northwest."
Half of the sentence.
Liu Jian basically classified most of the memorials into categories.
Then he discovered the "problem" like Li Dongyang, that is, many memorials related to the military and political affairs of the northwest had not been approved. , is not among the memorials sent back, and even the recent memorials from the northwest are not among the memorials that the cabinet needs to deal with urgently.
"I hope this is not the worst expectation. " Xie Qian mentioned.
While speaking, he glanced in the direction of the Wenhua Hall.
That is the location of the "Shangting Office". From above After the Shangting Office was established, the three people in the cabinet were afraid that the emperor would divide the power of the cabinet with the Shangting Office. The emperor had previously mentioned that he would hand over major military affairs to the Shangting Office, but Zhang Zhou, the chief minister of the Shangting Office, was not often there. In the Shangting Department, the emperor's trust in other members of the Shangting Department is not high, so that the Shangting Department now has the right to know at best.
Some major events will summon members of the Shangting Department to ask for their opinions. The Shangting Department has no direct decision-making authority.
It is almost time for the emperor to implement it.
Wang Qiong will take it today. After receiving the "lesson plan" given to him by Zhang Zhou, he took Zhu Feng, Lin Ting, Liu Jin and others to give a "tactics" class to the members of the Yanwu Hall in Beijing.
This time the class was. Debate class, the debate is about one issue, will the Tatars "sneak in"? If it is the TatarsPeople will come, from which direction the attack will be launched, and how to defend against it.
Before the debate class begins.
While the instructor next to him was leaving, Zhu Feng hurried over and asked, "Shilang Wang, are you saying that the Tatars are coming to kill you?"
Wang Qiong said, "It's just a guess, not a calculation." , otherwise it would not have been discussed in the military. This matter should have been discussed in the court, but because Cai Guogong had deduced it in advance, His Majesty was more inclined to listen to Cai Guogong in adopting opinions, so the matter was not discussed. Let's go to the palace to discuss."
Zhu Feng muttered, "But Brother Zhang didn't mention it before."
Wang Qiong glanced at Zhu Feng and said with a smile, "You know the truth. If Cai Guogong asks you, would you be willing to lead the army?"
Zhu Feng was ashamed.
Now even Wang Qiong knows what kind of character he is. As one of the most powerful military figures in the Ming Dynasty, now he is just doing nothing but eating and waiting to die. He himself can't hold his head high.
"I discussed it with Cai Guogong before. He mentioned that if the Tatars want to take the opportunity to disturb the border, they will most likely invade from the surrounding areas of Ningxia. You were the chief military officer in Ningxia, and you are more familiar with it. You are familiar with it, so you need to guide the students in the future. Also, this question will be used for the selection test of new students in the next two days." Wang Qiong said.
Zhu Feng asked, "Do you want to make it public?"
"Yes." Zhu Feng nodded, "As of now, there is nothing to hide. It's just for defense, who could do it?" As for the roundworm in the stomach of the Tatars, no one can say that Cai Guogong is determined to have his own way. After all, this is not a proactive attack, but a passive speculation of hostility. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest non-anti-theft free reading
