Sun Jiagan finally set foot on the land of Tianjin Wei. Today, Tianjin Wei has completely become a large military port. After the Ming army occupied Tianjin Wei, it began to build Tianjin Acropolis into an important base for the Ming Dynasty in the north. Not only did it improve the Tianjin Wei port and rebuilt the Dagukou Fort, but even Tianjin Acropolis is different from before.

The current Tianjin Weiji Military Port is connected to the warehousing and military camps. Not only is the East China Sea Fleet stationed in the military port, but there are also many merchant ships traveling from north to south. In addition, Tianjin Wei has nearly 10,000 troops stationed. In addition, the civilians sent by the city expansion and construction fortifications, the entire Tianjin Weiji is extremely lively.

Sun Jiagan is not unfamiliar with Tianjin Wei, because he was originally from the northerner. In the 47th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Sun Jiagan boarded a ship from Tianjin Wei to Jiangnan. At that time, Sun Jiagan was just a poor scholar in his early twenties in Xing County, Shanxi. Due to his poor family, and his friends in Jiangnan made an appointment, Sun Jiagan left his hometown and went south to study.

It took five years to leave. Sun Jiagan himself did not expect that he would return to the north in another capacity.

When he arrived in Jiangnan, Sun Jiagan studied hard and only wanted to take the scientific examination after two years. But who knew that Yuan Qi raised his troops in Jiangnan later, and the situation changed in a blink of an eye. Sun Jiagan, who was involved in the war, was penniless and could only barely copy and live in Hangzhou.

Subsequently, Yuan Qi was defeated, and Zhu Yicheng rose again in Ningbo. Later, Hangzhou City was captured by the Ming army, and it became even more difficult for Sun Jiagan to go back at this time.

It was not until Zhu Yicheng occupied Nanjing that after the Ming Dynasty, he held the imperial examination for the recruitment of scholars from all over the world. At that time, Sun Jiagan, who was already in a very downturn, gritted his teeth and took the imperial examination that year. Who would have thought of passing the examination in one fell swoop?

After being a Jinshi, Sun Jiagan first became an official in the Hanlin Academy. A year later, he was transferred to the magistrate of Yixing. During his tenure, Sun Jiagan was honest and impartial, and dared to speak out and had outstanding political achievements. After being a magistrate for more than a year, Sun Jiagan was attracted by Wu Sidao and recommended to be transferred to Yingtian Prefecture. In just one year later, he was promoted to Yingtian Tongzhi.

Becoming Yingtian Tongzhi, it can be said that Sun Jiagan has stepped into the ranks of middle-level officials, and with his age and ability, as long as there is no mistake, it is possible to take charge of one in ten years.

However, the Ming Dynasty took over Beijing as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and its importance was self-evident. After discussion by ministers of the Military Affairs Office, Zhu Yicheng agreed that Sun Jiagan stood out among several candidates, and was promoted from Yingtian Tongzhi to the prefect of Shuntian, and entered the ranks of middle and senior officials.

The choice of Sun Jiagan to this position was due to his character and ability, and the second was to consider that Sun Jiagan was originally from the northern region and had a good understanding of the situation in the northern region. Furthermore, Sun Jiagan was extremely courageous in doing things, was not afraid of power, and dared to speak out and take such a person as him in this position. Both Zhu Yicheng and the Military Affairs Office were more at ease.

"Are you Mr. Sun Xi Gongsun?" Just as Sun Jiagan was looking at the familiar but unfamiliar Tianjin Wei, a personal guard officer with a silver star on his shoulder came forward and asked after saluting.

"I am Sun Jiagan, I don't know if the captain is..."

"Go back to Master Sun, here is Zheng Qun, a staff officer under Shuai Lin, a guard of the guards, who was appointed by Shuai Lin to pick up Master Sun."

"Ship Lin is intent, and he is also bothering the captain Zheng to pick him up." Sun Jiagan immediately nodded with a kind look when he heard that the other party was Lin Jianzhang sent him to pick him up.

Zheng Qun told Sun Jiagan that there happened to be a transportation convoy from Tianjin Wei to Beijing City today, and they could follow the convoy to Beijing. After all, although all the vicinity of Beijing is controlled by the Ming army and the road from Tianjin Wei to Beijing City is relatively smooth, the Qing court in the north is still very powerful. In addition, the Ming army cannot control the surrounding area of ​​Zhili due to its military strength and other problems. For safety reasons, the Ming army's material transportation is formed, and then escorted by the troops to prevent the Qing army from attacking halfway.

Sun Jiagan had no objection to this arrangement. After all, he had just come to the north and didn't understand the situation in Beijing. Moreover, Lin Jianzhang sent someone to pick him up, so he had already thought about it carefully and just followed Zheng Qun.

When Zheng Qun asked Sun Jiagan where the luggage, family, subordinates, etc. were carried so that he could make arrangements, Sun Jiagan pointed to the two servants beside him and added a few boxes of books and told him that it was all. Zheng Qun was a little surprised. He did not expect that Sun Jiagan would be so simple as a third-rank official. You should know that the Ming Dynasty now has a lot of salary for officials. With Sun Jiagan's level and income, it is easy to raise more than a dozen servants and take a few masters. As for luggage, it is not so shabby.

However, Zheng Qun didn't say anything and asked someone to make arrangements. Not long after, Zheng Qun told Sun Jiagan that the arrangement had been made and that he could set off now. Sun Jiagan nodded, then followed Zheng Qun to the convoy, got on a prepared carriage, and the group headed towards Beijing.

From Tianjin Wei to Beijing, the convoy route is to stop for one day through Langfang, and then set off in the afternoon to Beijing.

Along the way, Sun Jiagan was not idle either and asked Zheng Qun about Beijing City. Zheng Qun was Lin Jianzhang's adviser, and he also sent him to welcome Sun Jiagan. He knew the situation in Beijing City well and immediately told him one by one.

Sun Jiagan listened carefully and asked in detail if there were any unknown points. He asked and answered questions and answered them all. When he entered Beijing, he would have roughly a clear understanding of the current situation in Beijing.

When entering Beijing City, the first thing he had to do was of course to go to the Ministry of War, which is the current command center of the Northern War Zone. First, Sun Jiagan would visit Wang Dong, Lin Jianzhang, and Zhuang Yan, and second, as the prefect of Shuntian, he would of course take over the management of Beijing City when he came to Beijing as the prefect of Shuntian.

Now, due to the war situation, Beijing City is still in military control, and it has changed from military control to government intelligent department, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

Although Sun Jiagan has strong abilities, he took office alone. The situation and a series of work of the government office require assistance from the troops. He has to wait until the team is slowly built to play a role.

Everyone had already prepared for Sun Jiagan's arrival. Wang Dong told Sun Jiagan as the Minister of Military Affairs that he, Lin Jianzhang and others would strongly support him at any time, and would send the security forces responsible for military control to Sun Jiagan in advance for assistance.

However, for the government structure, it depends on Sun Jiagan himself. After the Qing Dynasty hunted the west, officials with status in the court almost fled. Those who were left behind were either small officials or small officials. Which of these people were available and where they could not be used, Sun Jiagan could make a decision directly. Whether it was the Military Affairs Office or Zhu Yicheng's side, they only needed to see the results.

Sun Jiagan had already prepared for this and officially took office after negotiations with Wang Dong and others. It has to be said that Sun Jiagan is indeed very capable. Within just a few days, he first selected some people from the previous Qing officials, and then formed a general government structure with the officers assigned to him by the military management. Then he began to take over the jurisdiction of the entire Beijing city step by step.

Although the military controls stabilized the order in Beijing, military control could not replace government departments. When the government departments were put on their arsenals, some functions began to gradually operate. In addition, after the support of the military and the Ming government continued to send middle and lower-level officials to Beijing in the later period to enrich various departments, Beijing gradually completed the transition.

But Sun Jiagan's work is still busy day and night. Since he came to Beijing, he has hardly had a lot of rest and spent countless affairs every day.

Just like now, apart from some small things, there are two big things in front of him, both big things are imminent.

The first thing is the palace.

The Qing court hunted westward. After the Ming army entered the city, the remaining enemies in the city were wiped out, and at the same time temporarily sealed the Forbidden City. For this reason, Lin Jianzhang and others did this. The Forbidden City was the residence of the emperor, and it was inappropriate for them to take over as military generals, so they temporarily sealed the palace, one to avoid suspicion, and the other was waiting for Nanjing to officially send people to take over the deal.

This matter needs Sun Jiagan to deal with. Although the Forbidden City is temporarily sealed, it cannot be said that there are no one in the Forbidden City. There are still many palace maids and eunuchs left behind. In addition, the Jinyiwei, as the emperor's personal army, is temporarily used as a guard to guard the palace.

After Sun Jiagan took office, he deleted, selected and retained the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and made adjustments according to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty's inner palace. Sun Jiagan also wrote a detailed memorial and reported it to Nanjing. Zhu Yicheng had no objection to this, but Zhu Yicheng made three requests.

These three points require that the palace must be intact and that the items in the palace must be sorted out and archived. Second, the deletion and selection of retained personnel must be strictly carried out. Whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, it is necessary to make a file, and this matter requires the participation of the Jinyiwei. Third, the traces of the Qing Dynasty in the palace, whether it is a palace gate plaque or decoration, any traces of the Qing Dynasty should not be retained.

After all, after the Ming Dynasty, Beijing would be the capital. An emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not live in a palace with obvious mandarin decorations and could not become a laughing stock for the world? Although the Ming Dynasty is in financial difficulties now and cannot afford to spend money to renovate the Forbidden City for a while, it is still possible to do a simple way to go to Manqing traces.

The second thing is even more important. This matter was specially taken care of by Zhu Yicheng when Sun Jiagan left Nanjing, and that was to instruct Sun Jiagan to inquire about the whereabouts of his grandfather Zhu Cihuan, the fifth son of Emperor Chongzhen, the third prince Zhu, commonly known as the folk, and later named Wang Shiyuan, and his father Wang Yi (Zhu Heqi), uncle Wang Zai (Zhu Hezai), cousin Wang Yubao (Zhu Yiyu) and others.

Back then, Kangxi took the lead and sentenced them to death. Later, after hearing the news, Zhu Yicheng set up a tomb for his clothes and clothes to worship each other in Nanjing. Now that the city of Beijing has been taken down, he naturally has to collect his bones to be buried. In fact, the Jinyiwei has been inquiring about this matter, but since he only knew that his remains were thrown into the chasing tillage outside the city, it was impossible to determine where it was, so Sun Jiagan asked to inquire carefully after taking office.
Chapter completed!
