Chapter 481 Hong Chengchou becomes the governor of Shaanxi!
In the end, Zhu Zilong planned his ideas and various plans to vigorously rescue disaster victims.
"As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not delay chopping wood, and you have to squeeze out time even if you don't have time. First, solve the troubles of Jiannu and targets in the north, then calmly turn around and completely eliminate the rioters."
"The country will hold on to the civil strife and natural disasters first, and grit your teeth. After some time, you can promote the planting of red and potatoes in the north. A mu of grain fields can only harvest more than 300 kilograms of wheat a year, but one mu of dry land or even one mu of mountain land, it is easy to harvest two or three thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes a year."
"There are also potatoes and corn crops, which are drought-resistant and high-yield grains. It is easy to collect thousands of kilograms of grain per acre of land. It only takes two or three years. The Ming Dynasty did not even have to travel thousands of miles from Jiangnan to Shaanxi. Just half of the grain from Shanxi and northern Zhili can easily appease the remaining hungry people in Shaanxi. It completely eliminates the hidden dangers of hungry people's riots!"
Zhu Zilong said to himself, as if he had made some decision for himself.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong felt that according to the current situation, the candidates for the positions of the three-sided governor and the governor of Shaanxi are very important.
You cannot choose someone at will, and several conditions must be met.
First, they cannot be their current confidant and recent officials, because according to the current situation, no matter who comes to power, their anti-rebellion and suppression of thieves is destined to fail. At most, they can only break up the rebels and make a big deal. They are also destined to become targets for the censors and censors to attack Khan’s accusation!
Second, your ability should not be too poor. At least you must be able to fight, organize local people to train new troops, and eliminate rebels.
After thinking about it, Zhu Zilong thought of someone.
Hong Chengchou!
Hong Chengchou (1593.10.16-1665.04.03), whose courtesy name is Yanyan and his pseudonym Hengjiu, was from Yingdu, Nan'an, Quanzhou, Fujian.
He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli (1616), and now he has been appointed as the Shaanxi Provincial Administration Commissioner to participate in politics.
In the original unchanging history, he eventually became a famous traitor. Well, to say that, in fact, in ancient China, there was no word traitor.
The emergence of the term traitor was when the Ming and Qing dynasties alternated.
Some officials from the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing regime for various reasons. Later people called these people traitors.
There are four types of traitors in the late Ming Dynasty:
The first type is the active type. The representative characters are Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. The second type is the forced helpless type. The representative characters are Zu Dashou!
The third type is extremely special type, and the representative character is Wu Sangui.
The last one is to want to set up a archway and make a model. The representative figure is Hong Chengchou!
Although this guy may not have the chance to become a traitor in the current changing history, his personality means that he can cherish himself for his unclear clothes and eventually become a traitor.
Such people are capable but not overly high, just as they are for a time traveler who knows history.
Because they have interests with the eunuch group, they are relatively close to each other.
At this moment, Zhu Zilong, who was in the Ming Dynasty, had a reputation outside in addition to leading troops to fight, and also received the title of a copycat eunuch party outside!
It is all a copycat eunuch party, so naturally, Zhu Zilong has to stand opposite the Donglin party regardless of whether he wants it or not.
Unfortunately, Hong Chengchou, a person who is somewhat disliked, is a member of the Donglin Party.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong felt that the candidate for the governor of Shaanxi was Hong Chengchou.
Taking this opportunity to let him go to Shaanxi to suffer a little! If he has the ability, he will continue to use it as long as he does not change his mind. If he fails, he will send him home.
So I shouted, at this moment.
Zhu Zilong's lips curled and laughed: "Comrade Hong, don't say I won't give you a chance. The difficulty of suppressing the uprising of the peasant uprising in Shaanxi is much smaller than in the original history."
"At least, you don't have to worry about Chongzhen, who killed the minister, pulling you back than killing chickens. I'm willing to play with you, but I know a little bit about the reason why the emperor is not bad at hungering soldiers, and I also have a way to get money and food for the front line. Your military pay, food and grass are guaranteed. Whether it can be shown depends on your own ability."
the next day.
Zhu Zilong's body was sent to the capital for 800 miles, and he wrote to the capital and brought together a group of officials from Shandong.
He recommended Sun Gelao as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and at the same time, he recommended Hong Chengchou as the governor of Shaanxi with a reputation of being a talented person and not avoiding revenge.
Sun Chengzong, as a veteran of the three dynasties, the imperial rank of the current dynasty, former Minister of War, Liaodong Strategic Envoy, and Liaodong Supervisor. Zhu Zilong recommended him to return as an official and governor of the military, political and civil affairs of Gansu and Shaanxi. It is impossible for anyone in the dynasty to have any objections.
Even the officials of the Donglin Party rarely stand on the same front as Zhu Zilong and support this recommendation.
Because Sun Chengzong is also one of the elders of the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party members who like to form cliques and factions certainly hope that their party will be in power and in the court and local governments!
However, Zhu Zilong's original body and Shandong officials recommended Hong Chengchou as the governor of Shaanxi, but encountered big trouble. This is not because all civil and military officials do not want to sell their face.
The key is that Hong Chengchou, the two Xicheng, announced that the left senator of the government was the fifth rank, and he jumped to the fourth and fifth ranks to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, which is still rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
What's even more troublesome is that the position of the governor of Shaanxi is too sensitive. Everyone knows that this governor of Shaanxi is not going to Shaanxi to collect taxes and settle lawsuits, but to suppress the rebellion.
In later generations, Hong Chengchou proved that history was a good civil servant, and he could lead the army.
But now, no one knows it.
It is a risky person to let Hong Chengchou, who has never been to the battlefield and has no military experience, take the role. Therefore, there are many discussions among all officials!
The first person who stood up to raise objections was the Minister of Personnel. He carefully walked over to the soul, and the clone of Emperor Zhu Zilong who started the morning court, said: "Emperor, Hong Chengchou is also a gentle minister. Wanli has 44 Jinshi in Bingchen, and has served as the head of the Qing Lishu Department of the Ministry of Justice, the doctor and Xijiang are responsible for learning the entire affairs, etc. He is very capable in his work, and his official voice is also good."
"If such an official is promoted to the territorial territory in an extraordinary manner, there will be no negotiation. However, the current situation in Shaanxi is somewhat different. Hong Chengchou has never served in the Ministry of War, nor has he been on the battlefield or led the army, so he has made him rashly serve as the governor of Shaanxi. Is it too risky?"
As soon as this statement was made, many officials immediately followed suit.
"I'm going to discuss it."
"I'm going to discuss it."
"I am also asking."
Emperor Zhu Zilong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, really didn't expect so many people to oppose Hong Chengchou being the governor of Shaanxi.
After thinking about it, I was not angry.
I know that these people are not all out of malice, but are limited to knowledge and historical limitations.
So, the next second.
He looked at the obedient Huang Liji and others and asked, "Huang Aiqing, so many people oppose Hong Chengchou as governor Shaanxi, what do you think?"
Under the hint of Zhu Zilong's eyes, Huang Liji understood it.
He stood up and said, "When I recommended the Longhou of the Four Seas, I opposed it no fewer people than now. But the current situation in Shandong is obvious to everyone. Regarding Hong Chengchou as governor of Shaanxi, I believe that it should not only look at the surface. I agree!"
After Huang Liji said this, the pro-Chief Ministers arranged in the cabinet also came out to express their opinions:
"Whether Hong Chengchou is qualified to govern Shaanxi, he has issued a holy commander and will. From the perspective of the empress, he has also studied military tactics and military books. With this person assisting Sun Ge Lao to eliminate the rioters, he is also a good candidate."
OK, this is a subtext reminder for everyone.
Hong Chengchou went to save the gold medal, mainly to help Sun Chengzong.
So, Huang Liji and the minister's confidants came out to express their support later.
Taking this opportunity, Zhu Zilong waved his hand to determine the matter.
"That's all, then okay, don't discuss this matter again. Chengen, you will immediately draft an order to let Hong Chengchou be the governor of Shaanxi and assist the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu to quell the thieves in Shaanxi."
"I obey the order." Wang Chengen quickly agreed.
