Chapter 211

The highest affirmation of Daming's power structure in a province is to announce that the political envoy is in charge of the civil affairs of a province; Then there is the sentencing observation envoy in charge of a judicial prison. In addition, there is the Du command envoy. There are officials who are the same as the Du command envoy. One of the officers is in charge of the Department, called the palm seal, or Du Secretary for short, and ranks below the cloth and press departments.

This is the local three divisions, the highest authority. The imperial court has a variety of local affairs and the three divisions quarrel with each other, so the governor appointed by the central government coordinates and manages them to increase efficiency. The governor of the Ming Dynasty is not a local official, but a representative of the places where the capital lives, but has the power to control the local three divisions.

For example, Zhu Dadian, governor of Shandong Province, can take care of the other three and eat to death.

Governor Lai has some differences. Denglai town was set as a military town from the beginning. It is responsible for garrisoning troops and horses, preparing food and grass and supporting outside the pass. Moreover, he was also separated from Shandong, so it is impossible to have three systems.

Of course, the biggest governor in Denglai town is this governor. This governor is directly in charge of the three camps and 24 offices of the Dengzhou general army. Then he also has the power to appoint and remove the officials of the three Eastern governments. Therefore, under Chen YingYuan, the greatest power is naturally the Dengzhou general army and the magistrates of the three governments.

All the posts of chief and deputy chief shall be filled by those with the titles of Duke, marquis, uncle and governor. During Wanli period, the general army was added in Lintao and Shanhai. In the middle and late Wanli period, the general army officers were added in a variety of ways, which can not be remembered.

In the Ming Dynasty, the general army was originally a committee without grade difference. In fact, it depends on where he is in charge. It does not mean that when he becomes the general army, he must have several grades and titles. This name is a bit like the commander of later generations.

However, this is only a superficial hierarchical arrangement. In the Ming Dynasty, literature is expensive and martial arts are cheap. Only civil servants have a high status. Therefore, a new tradition has been formed in recent decades, that is, the status of several prefects is above the Dengzhou general army. To put it mildly, the general army still needs the support of the local government, but the local government does not need his support.

This has formed a more pit father tradition, that is, there is no county magistrate under the general army account, and there is a general army under the county magistrate account.

Now the magistrate and the general army under his account have joined hands to put him on the shelf, which has ruined his Chen Ying's vitality.

Chen YingYuan immediately ordered his long follower to call Zheng Zhibao. He vowed that if the other party dared to come, he would scold him for being bloody.

Who knows the answer: "Zheng Zongbing has returned to the countryside to preside over his daughter's wedding ceremony."

Hearing this, Chen Jingyuan was even more angry. That is, the chief soldier of Tangtang town asked for leave, but he didn't ask him for leave. He hit him on the face.

Originally, he wanted to have Liu Yuanqiao scolded, but he was thinking that the Liu and Zheng families were in laws. Since the Zheng family married a woman, the Liu family would not be idle.

Originally, Zheng Zhibao asked for leave. He was very angry. A commander-in-chief asked for leave, but it was not like him. Is he still in the eyes of this commander-in-chief?

But the master told the governor, "since Zheng Dianbing is not here, can't adults take the opportunity to win over his Navy generals and Lu Yong."

As soon as Chen YingYuan heard this, it was true. Since Zheng Zhibao was not there, I can't buy off one of your soldiers.

Chen YingYuan asked him, "well, who is in charge of the water stronghold under Zheng Zhibao's general army?"

The master said, "Zheng Zhibao's man in charge of the water stronghold is his confidant Zheng Lin, who is very loyal and should not be bought, but the navy is actually composed of ten main warships. For each warship, a leader said: Captain, as long as we invite these captains, his fleet will be overhead."

Chen YingYuan said, "good!"

Master, he said again: "As for his soldiers, the main one is the 1000 servants under Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning is his real name. He used to call Liu Ning. He was a fugitive from Liao town. When he was desperate, he took refuge in the Liu family, joined the servants, became one of the servants, and took charge of 1000 elite servants for him. It is said that Zheng Zhibao is going to let him serve as the garrison commander of Dengzhou camp. He is a close confidant, my Lord If you can buy Xiao Ning, you can seize his military power. "

Chen YingYuan said to him, "since this man is a confidant of the Liu family, how can he be bought by my official?"

The master said, "all these generals are forgetting their righteousness for profit. If adults promise them good positions and rights, they will naturally take refuge in adults."

This is the literati's view of military generals.

Chen YingYuan thought it was the same. Where is loyalty in the hearts of the generals? They are basically mothers with milk. He was a dignified governor who offered a bigger price, so he didn't believe he would not vote.

Chen YingYuan was very angry with Liu Yuanqiao and Zheng Zhibao for putting him together this time. He also decided to put everything back with the other party. The best way is to buy off the other party's important men and seize his fleet and servants.

So he immediately ordered him to drive to Dengzhou camp. Taking advantage of Zheng Zhibao's absence, it was a good time to buy off their men. On that day, when Xiao Yun led a thousand elite soldiers in, he left a deep impression on him. This is a very tall, tough, brave and good at fighting. If there are a thousand elite soldiers in hand, we can build more large-scale military bases on this The army, these 1000 elite soldiers, look like the servants of the senior general of the border town. They can stand on their own.

However, when Governor Chen YingYuan came to Dengzhou camp in a sedan chair, he was told: "Xiao yunqianhu has led his elite soldiers to go out for field training."

Chen YingYuan doesn't believe it. Now it's snowing heavily and it's so cold. Dare he go to the field for training? So he directly ordered people to carry his sedan chair into the command post of Dengzhou camp to see where Xiao Yun hid.

However, after he went in, he found that it seemed to be true. Let's see that the whole camp was empty. There was no one except some soldiers sweeping snow and cleaning up here. Therefore, it should be true that the other party led more than 1000 soldiers out for field training, which aroused Chen YingYuan's interest.

It's still snowing in such a cold day and he can go out for field training, which shows that the military discipline of this army is extremely strict and powerful, just like the Qi family army in those years. In this way, Chen YingYuan has the heart to take. He said to the left and right: "no matter what method you use, I must find out this Xiao Yun."

He was going to call the other party over and win over himself.

But he said, "what if Xiao Yun doesn't appreciate it and doesn't want to come?"

Chen YingYuan's eyes flashed coldly. He said, "a small thousand households dare not listen to my official. Just give him a ride and change a obedient person."

Now there is no chief soldier in Dengzhou city. If Zheng Zhibao is here, he still has some taboos. After all, the other party is also the chief soldier, in charge of the military power here, and the soldiers here obey him. But Zheng Zhibao is not here, which is a great opportunity for him to start. He should teach the other party a lesson, that is, when the other party comes back, it has changed here.

It's not that the weather has changed, but that they have returned to the right track and listened to the orders of his governor.

Chen YingYuan also lamented that it was a god given opportunity. Fortunately, at this time, the Zheng family and the Liu family got married. All the important people of their family were busy to get married for Liu bu. It is estimated that their main energy would also be here. As a governor, he'd better take this opportunity to gather their troops and horses and come back after their marriage, I found that all their soldiers and horses had been loyal to my governor.

Chen YingYuan thought it was beautiful, but he sent his hands to win over the captains under Zheng Zhibao. These ten captains were stationed in the Navy stronghold in Dengzhou to be responsible for the sea safety in this area.

Now Zheng Zhibao has made a guarantee to ensure the safety of the Bohai Sea. There will be no more slaves and pirates robbing and intercepting their grain ships. If these things happen, they will have no face.

However, it's not unusual for Zheng Zhibao to make such a promise. Their Zheng family is very powerful now. All ships sailing to the East, whether you are Dutch, Portuguese or Arab, have to pay 3000 liang of tax silver to their Zheng family in exchange for a flag. If the other party hangs their Zheng family's flag, they will travel unimpeded in the sea area, If you don't hang up, you will be sunk or captured by them.

Since the Third Master of the Zheng family has made a guarantee here, any pirate who dares to grow hair and intercept the ships of the official Army is to fight against the Zheng family. This is death. Only Zheng Zhibao dares to make such a guarantee.

Zheng Zhibao and his men are also here for adaptability training. They are ready to start a new round of battle when the commander in chief comes back. At this time, the governor sends someone to woo them and invite them to dinner. The other envoy says that as long as they see the governor, it will be good.

The messenger who attracted them was very proud and seemed to give a gift to each other. He didn't worry that the other party wouldn't come. He just put down the invitation and went away. He thought that a small captain had no grade. The largest local governor would invite you to dinner and summon. This is a blessing from several generations. Don't you rush to come with gifts?

Who knows, at the appointed time, the governor arrived, and none of the ten captains was present, which made Chen YingYuan's face white. The dignified governor invited several tasteless captains to dinner, but the other party didn't come.

Chen Ying was so angry that he said, "go to the water stronghold immediately. I want to see if the water stronghold is surnamed Zheng. I don't even listen to the orders of the imperial court“
