Chapter 99 Grain shortage
When it comes to the founding of the government, the first reaction of later generations was the shogunate in Japan. In fact, the shogunate first appeared in China. As early as the Han Dynasty, the three dukes and generals had the qualifications to establish the government. Moreover, this system continued until the early Ming Dynasty. After the Jingnan Campaign, the founding of the government became a situation and became history.
Now, with Zhu Yicheng's current sensitive identity, it is indeed a good idea to regain the opening of the mansion, but Zhu Yicheng spent a lot of effort on the establishment of various official positions after the opening of the mansion, and also found some classics to study it.
After some consideration, Zhu Yicheng's Grand Governor's Office will set up civil and military positions, and establish six departments based on the specific functions. These six departments are the six departments of the court, namely the six departments of the court, the division of labor is clear: the official department is responsible for the appointment, assessment and transfer of officials: the household department is responsible for grain and silver, civil affairs, finance; the etiquette department is responsible for etiquette, celebration, examination, and sacrifice; the military department is responsible for local soldiers' affairs; the engineering department is responsible for water conservancy, building cities, yamen, warehouses and other matters.
The chief officials of each section are called ambassadors, and the deputy position is deputy envoy. In addition to the six sections, the military commander, co-magistrate, assistant magistrate, magistrate, tutor, thousand households, deputy thousand households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households, 100 households,
The settings of these official positions not only refer to the organization of the royal palace in the Ming Dynasty, but also copy the military positions of the Ming Dynasty's brocade-in-law personal army. At the same time, they also added the structure of various dynasties to establish governments and then combined them together. From the current perspective, such a setting can basically meet the needs. It is just a different name, but at least it seems that external publicity is not as eye-catching as Yuan Qi did that day.
The official position is set, and the next step is to reward everyone. Unfortunately, there are too few people available in Zhu Yicheng, and the military position is better. Zhu Yicheng is also the commander and commander as the Grand Commander. At the same time, Dong Dashan led the Tongzhi, and he also appointed another old man Ma Gongcheng who has followed him since the Battle of Hangzhou. There are also people at all levels of official positions under him. Although it is far less than the number set, it can at least achieve the purpose of rectification.
Liao Huanzhi served as the Zuo Changshi and also as the ambassador of the official department. This position is not low. As the so-called "a thousand gold to buy horse bones", as the first scholar and Qing official to surrender to him, Zhu Yicheng still has the slightest devotion. For Liao Huanzhi, he was also very satisfied with Zhu Yicheng's appointment, which is enough to prove his important position in the rebel army.
Jiang Jin was named the military officer and also served as the deputy envoy of engineering. When the vacancies were in place, Jiang Jin also accepted the appointment with great joy. Wang Fan was the deputy envoy of the household department. As for the temporary vacancies of the ambassadors of other departments, Zhu Yicheng discussed with others and only appointed a few officials from various departments, and first carried out the various departments, and then appointed them after the subsequent appointment.
After the appointment was issued, everyone who received the reward was very happy. At the same time, it also said that the rebels in Ningbo had truly gotten rid of the hat of "rebels" and began to transform from a group of mobs to a regular army. Similarly, this reward also strengthened cohesion within the rebels, greatly boosted the morale of the rebels, and was more conducive to the future development of the rebels.
Since the opening of the government, there must be rules after the opening of the government. The previous voluntary will be gone forever. In the future, the discussions, including the issuance of some orders, have rules. As the Left Chief Secretary, Liao Huanzhi quickly adapted to his new role and managed the entire Grand Governor's Office in an orderly manner, which made Zhu Yicheng much easier.
After completing the matter of Kaifu, Zhu Yicheng had to investigate the various departments after Kaifu, and on the other hand, the reorganization of his subordinates was also in full swing. In addition to these, there were also the work of the Sihai Commercial Bank and the Navy, as well as the development of firearms and other important matters. After busy for a few days, Zhu Yicheng relaxed a little. After listening to Liao Huanzhi and others' reports to him on this day, Zhu Yicheng made some suggestions and asked everyone to do it as soon as possible according to his wishes.
"What's the situation in the west now?" Zhu Yicheng asked after explaining the work requirements of each subject, after taking a sip of tea.
The intelligence work is basically directly responsible for Dong Dashan. Dong Dashan immediately replied: "When returning to the Grand Governor, Zhu Jiancai's troops suffered several defeats in succession, and their momentum is no longer as good as before. The Qing army pressed forward step by step, and Zhu Jiancai couldn't resist and took his men to the southwest. It seemed that he wanted to join Yuan Qi's troops."
"How is Yuan Qi's army?" Zhu Yicheng asked again.
"After taking over the Qing army's military rations, Yuan Qi's strength has expanded rapidly and has occupied the three counties. However, it is said that his troops have signs of continuing to move westward. From this point of view, Yuan Qi does not want to directly compete with the Qing army in Jiangnan."
Nodded slightly, it seemed that Yuan Qi, the old boy, learned from his mistakes and was much more steady than before. Although he took advantage of the opportunity to revive, the time was too short, and the eldest prince gathered the elites of the Qing court in Jiangnan, and would definitely suffer a big loss when he fought head-on.
Yuan Qi's plan was very clear, that was to put Zhu Jiancai in front to attract the firepower of the Qing army, and he accumulated strength in the future to avoid the edge of the Qing army. However, Zhu Jiancai was not a fool. Didn't Dong Dashan say that after Zhu Jiancai suffered several defeats, he had already begun to lead troops to move towards Yuan Qi's troops. His intention was very obvious, to join forces to keep warm, but I didn't know whether Yuan Qi would accept Zhu Jiancai.
"There is another thing." Seeing Zhu Yicheng pondering and silent, Dong Dashan spoke.
"What's the matter?"
"There has been news from Hangzhou that it has been a little uneasy recently."
"The news from Hangzhou? Not peaceful? What exactly does it mean?" Zhu Yicheng's heart moved and asked hurriedly.
Dong Dashan replied: "After the Hangzhou War, Yuan Qi's rebel army collapsed, and the defeated rebel army was captured by the Qing court. In addition, many people were imprisoned and local displaced people, these people were later resettled by the Qing court. You also know that after the Self-Governor intercepted the Qing court's military rations in Tonglu and set up an ambush and cut off the Qing army's food route in Jiangnan, the Qing army's food and grass have been tight. In order to ensure the front line supply of the Qing army to continuously collect grain from all over the south of the Yangtze River, the food famine in Jiangnan has become increasingly fierce, especially the resettlement refugees and rebel prisoners cannot get food relief from the Qing court, which caused an accident."
Immediately afterwards, Dong Dashan brought the news he knew one by one. It is said that several civil unrest have occurred around Hangzhou, and the largest one has nearly a thousand people. If local officials had not guarded the situation and sent troops in time, a big mess would have caused a long time ago.
But even so, without sufficient food, all parts of Jiangnan are still collecting grain, which is no longer a way out for the common people. If nothing unexpected happens, a major change will be in front of you.
"Grandmaster, this is a good thing!" Liao Huanzhi said with a smile: "The clear dog is unrighteous and loses the people's hearts. Once the people are in a state of boiling and pressure is beyond suppression, the entire Jiangnan... No! It can be said that the entire southern provinces will have peak fires. At that time, the Grandmaster will be in the southeast and raise his arms and shout, why worry about the big thing being done?"
"It's extreme, it's extreme!" Jiang Jin was also excited: "The Grand Governor's vision is far-reaching and has a deep layout. Now there is a shortage of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but our Ningbo area is stockpiling grain like mountains. The Four Seas Commercial Bank is even more rushing to transport grain from all over the country to Ningbo. By the end of the year, our Ningbo food will have no worries. This is all the long-term plan of the Grand Governor!"
