Chapter 376: New Year and new atmosphere, just play big!

When the sound of firecrackers in Fushan City kept ringing, the sound of firecrackers continued in Yangjiatun. The most lively one was naturally the Yang Kaide family. At the invitation of Yang Yinghan, Xue Zhidie, Xue Ningying, Ning Lingwei, Chen Lingfei, Sisi and others were all celebrating the New Year at Yang Yinghan's house.

Because it was New Year's Eve and there was no man present, a group of women were together, so happy. The most active among them was naturally the active Chen Lingfei. While eating, Chen Lingfei drank a little wine and became three points drunk. After setting off the firecrackers, she fell asleep in a daze. In her dream, she seemed to see Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun was riding a horse and following her. She didn't know why, but she ran forward desperately, as if she wanted to escape from Zhang Zhun's claws.

While he was in a daze, Zhang Zhun's figure suddenly disappeared. Chen Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, suddenly, his feet fell off the cliff in an empty space. Chen Lingfei woke up immediately, and then heard Sisi's voice, "Miss, wake up, Miss, wake up, the Governor sent someone to find you!"

Chen Lingfei woke up in a daze and said in confusion: "What kind of governor?"

Sisi said with a strange expression: "Miss, what else is there in the Governor? Zhang Zhun! Didn't you shout the Governor's name in your dream just now? Why did you forget it now?"

Chen Lingfei was shocked and subconsciously sat up from the bed.

Zhang Zhun!

Governor, isn’t it Zhang Zhun?

What's the important thing about him sending someone to find him at this time?

Could it be that he had the same dream as himself? Or maybe it wasn't a dream just now, he was really chasing behind him? Now he is finally catching up?

"It's so embarrassing!"

Chen Lingfei's heart suddenly felt like a deer, her face flushed, and she hurriedly started.

After a simple washing and putting on his clothes, Chen Lingfei came to the living room outside.

It turned out that Zhang Zhun sent was Zhang Haibin, the new deputy commander of the Tiger Army Navy.

Zhang Haibin said apologetically: "Miss Chen, I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you. I'm here to come and second three merchant ships to you by the order of the Governor."

Chen Lingfei said in surprise: "Ah? You want a boat at this time? What do you want a boat to do?"

Today is not New Year's Eve... Oh, now it's midnight, it's already the first day of the first lunar month. What does Zhang Zhun want to do at this time? The Shen family's fleet is pure merchant ships, and has no combat purpose, so it can only be used for sea transportation. Last time Zhang Zhun came back from Jiangnan, he snatched all the Gu family's fleet back. The five large ships of the Gu family have a large carrying capacity, which can basically meet the daily cargo transportation needs of the Hu Ben Army. What does Zhang Zhun want to transport? The five merchant ships of the Gu family are not enough? They actually have to second their own merchant ships?

Zhang Haibin said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, it's related to military secrets and cannot be disclosed below."

Chen Lingfei nodded and said, "Oh, okay!"

As he said that, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and gave it to him.

With this jade pendant, Zhang Haibin can call on Chen Lingfei’s three merchant ships.

"Thanks!"

After Zhang Haibin thanked him, he turned around and left, and the speed was quite fast.

Chen Lingfei looked suspicious and said to herself: "What happened again? The Gu family's ship is not enough, so I still want my ship?"

Yang Yinghan and others all got up when they heard the movement.

When everyone heard Chen Lingfei's explanation, they were confused.

What should Zhang Zhun do if he wants the Shen family's fleet at this time?

Chen Lingfei shrugged helplessly and said in wonderingly: "I don't know what's going on. Something must have happened. Let's go to bed first. We will go to greet the governor tomorrow. Then I will ask him what's going on?"

Of course, when she gets up tomorrow and brings gifts to Ziyuan to greet Zhang Zhun, Zhang Zhun is no longer in Fushan City. It is related to military secrets, so Ji Yuqing will certainly not tell her the specific situation. Chen Lingfei did not learn until a few days later that Zhang Zhun had already gone to Huai'an Prefecture.

After leaving Ziyuan, Zhang Zhun quickly mobilized his troops.

Sun Ronglu dared to burn, kill, robbery and plunder in Huai'an Prefecture, and even used his name to not shave this boy. I wonder how many people would be ready to pour feces on his head in the future! There was an example of him bombarding Nanjing City. If this matter was not clarified quickly, many people might really believe it. Zhang Zhun still attaches great importance to his reputation. If his reputation is bad, he will have to clean it up in the future, which is a problem.

Since we are going to Huai'an Prefecture, we'll just have a big fight!

New Year and new atmosphere, let’s have a big battle and celebrate the New Year in a prosperous and prosperous manner!

Zhang Zhun quickly sent an order that, in addition to the First Association and the Second Association, the other five associations, including the Artillery Association, the Marine Corps, and the Tiger Ben Navy, were dispatched. Huai'an Prefecture was not elsewhere, and there was not enough troops, so Zhang Zhun did not dare to go rashly.

To be serious, Huai'an Prefecture is really a special place.

It is not just a palace.

There are many prefectures in Nanzhili. Most of the prefectures have nothing special except for their relatively developed economy. The prefect is all the fourth-rank civil servants. Only this Huai'an Prefecture is the most special, and even Yangzhou Prefecture is not special. Why? Because the two major yamen of the Governor of the Valley and the Governor of Fengyang are both in Huai'an Prefecture. In modern terms, Huai'an Prefecture is a municipality directly under the central government. In name, it belongs to the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, but in fact most of the relationships are directly under the city of Beijing.

Some readers may find it strange, why is the Governor Fengyang not in Fengyang Mansion, but in Huai'an Mansion? In fact, the Governor Fengyang is indeed not in Fengyang Mansion, but in Huai'an Mansion. As for the reason, it is probably only the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who knew about it, because he decided on such a setting at the beginning. The emperor later never changed.

When it comes to Huai'an Prefecture, it is necessary to mention the official title of Governor of the Grain Transport. The entire title of Governor of the Ming Dynasty was very long and difficult to remember. Generally speaking, it is "the Censor of the Censorate, the Governor of the Grain Transport, and the Governor of the Military Affairs, the Governor of Fengyang and other places." This title is necessary to explain it carefully, because Zhang Zhun will often encounter it in the future.

The first title is "Chief Censor of the Censorate". Most of them are Censors with the character "right". Because in general, the Left Censor is in charge of normal affairs of the Censorate in Beijing, the character "left" cannot be given a title for them. Sometimes it is the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censorate. Although the title of Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Cens

Because the Governor of Caoyun is a cross-provincial and cross-provincial official, this title is very important to him. Simply put, anyone who does not cooperate with my work will have the power to impeach you, no matter which province you are. Well, it is similar to today's cross-provincial pursuit, but the power is much more powerful than cross-provincial pursuit. If you don't have this title, the Governor of Caoyun will be empty-handed. Anyway, you can't do anything to me. What do you do? After you put this title, others will not dare to be arrogant!

The second title is "Governor of the Governor of the Grain Transport". This is his core duty. The Governor of the Grain Transport is stationed in Shanyang County, Jie (now Huaian City, Jiangsu Province), and governs the world's grain transportation affairs. In Huguang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili provinces, they are controlled by the Governor of the Grain Transport, and are responsible for collecting grains to be requisitioned. The grain ships from these provinces come to Huai'an and are inspected by the Governor of the Grain Transport and can only go north from the canal after being inspected by the Governor of the Grain Transport. Although the grain ships in Shandong and Henan provinces do not pass here, they must be inspected by their subordinate officials in accordance with the unified requirements of the Governor of the Grain Transport and handle grain responsibilities on time.

The third title is "Admiral Military Affairs". The Governor of the Grain Transport has certain military power, just like the governors of other provinces. In the Ming Dynasty, the Governor of the Grain Transport led 7 guards including Yingzhou Military Preparation Road, Xuzhou Military Preparation Road, Huaiyang Haidang Road, Zhongdu Leshou Guard Office, Hongtang Defense Office, Luzhou Military Preparation Station, Yangzhou Military Preparation Station, Gaoyou Military Preparation Station, Yizheng Military Preparation Station, Chuzhou Military Preparation Station, Xuzhou Military Preparation Station, Huai'an Military Preparation Station, Dahe Military Preparation Station, Pizhou Military Preparation Station, Sizhou Military Preparation Station, Shouzhou Military Preparation Station, and other guards in the Southern Zhili Luzhou Military Preparation Station were also under his jurisdiction.

These garrisons, a total of about 100,000 people, have a large number of troops. Although the garrisons are abolished, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers. Therefore, the governor of the canal transportation is called the general, the chief commander of the canal transportation, and he has military gates, including the central army, the left camp, the right camp, and the city guard camp. In addition, there are a large number of canals, which are considered private soldiers of the canal transportation, and their main responsibility is to be responsible for the safety of canal transportation.

The guards of Huaian City where the Governor of the Valley Transport is located do not require the personnel of local governments such as Shanyang County or Huaian Prefecture, but are responsible for the Governor of the Valley Transport Bureau. The local government only assists. If there is war, the troops within their jurisdiction can be mobilized, such as Yangzhou Camp, Xuzhou Camp, etc. In general, the military power of the Governor of the Valley Transport is still quite large.

Sometimes, the court also expanded its military power due to needs. Volume 21 of the Ming Dynasty Records recorded that in December of the first year of Jiajing (1522), in Bingxu, because of the peasant uprising in Shandong, the emperor ordered the governor of the grain transportation chief Yu Jian, "It is better to do the original affairs, and together with the general officers and generals Lu Gang, the military affairs of Shandong, Henan, Beizhili and other departments, so as to control the town patrol and other officials, try to suppress the troops, and select the regiment camp to fight 300 officers and soldiers, and give them two taels of silver, and follow the gang to follow the election."

The fourth title is "Governor Fengyang and other places". That is to say, he also served as a governor and managed a place like an ordinary governor. Because in the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang was the emperor's hometown, although he was clearly established in Huai'an, he was not called Huai'an but Fengyang. However, sometimes people still called him "Huaifu" instead of "Fengfu". "Governor Yuan" refers to Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Hezhou, Chuzhou, and Xuzhou, and is collectively called the four prefectures and three prefectures.

Luzhou Prefecture, Hezhou, Chuzhou is in Anhui, and Luzhou Prefecture is now Hefei. It includes the entire middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River north of the Yangtze River. Although its jurisdiction is crossed with Nanzhili, he still has to be responsible for the affairs under his jurisdiction. In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong burned Fengyang, and Yang Yipeng, the governor of Cao, lost his head. When the war broke out, his power was much greater than that of the Minister of War in Nanjing.

Therefore, Huai'an is like a province. The Governor of the Grain Transport is not only a professional official, but also a senior official. Huai'an Prefecture is a quasi-provincial city. The Governor of the Grain Transport should be like other governors. The Governor of the Grain Transport should be like other governors. The Prime Minister of the Grain Transport should be supervised by the military and political affairs of the province, including supervising money and grain, training troops, repairing cities, pacifying military and civilians, and banning corruption and other matters. If a war occurs, he can choose generals to dispatch troops and organize preparations for war. For officials who have poor talents or do not obey orders, they can be investigated, questioned and even engaged in military law. As for the impeachment of a letter of impeachment, causing a lower-level official to be demoted and killed, it is even a piece of cake.

In fact, there was a governor in Huai'an in front and a governor in the water transport department in the water transport department in the water transport department. Before the governor of the water transport department, there was a governor in Huai'an. Volume 24 of the "Hecai Transfer" of the Chronicles of Ming Dynasty: Geng Jiuchou, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, was appointed as the governor of Fengyang in October of the first year of Jingtai (1450). The imperial edict said: "I ordered you to patrol the salt law. Now I specially ordered you to be the governor of Fengyang, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Luzhou, Chu, Xu, and three prefectures to pacify the soldiers and civilians." The scope was the same as the scope of the later governor of the water transport department and the governor.

The affairs of the Governor of the Grain Transport were already busy enough, and he had to be such a large area, so he often couldn't get busy, so he often had another governor. For example, it was divided into eighth year of Chenghua, and it was banned in the second year, and it was divided into 13th year of Zhengde and merged in the sixteenth year. In the 36th year of Jiajing, due to the harassment of Japanese pirates, he also appointed a single governor, and Li Sui served as the position. After the Japanese pirates subsided, he was banned in the forty years. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, it was divided into 10th year until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the power of the Governor of the Grain Transport was not only that. It also had some titles that had once or had held the same position from time to time: such as managing rivers. When the Governor of the Grain Transport was first established in the Ming Dynasty, it also "in charge of rivers", that is, managing the management of canals, Yellow Rivers and other rivers. Later, there was a Governor who specialized in rivers and channels, and it was no longer the Governor of the Rivers and Channels, but when there was a dispute with the rivers and channels, it was often the Governor of the Grain Transport. The same was true in the Qing Dynasty. Whenever the Governor of the Rivers was short of termination, the Governor of the Grain Transport was often held.

For example, he was responsible for coastal defense. This title started in the Ming Dynasty, which was exactly from Yang Yipeng. In the sixth year of Chongzhen (1633), when he served as the governor of the grain transport, the title finally added the four words "in charge of coastal defense". In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), after he was arrested, his successor Zhu Dadian also had this title. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Tian Yang also served as the governor of the grain transport. However, in the Qing Dynasty, it had become a fixed responsibility.

Having said so much, there are actually only two words in the core: difficult to deal with.

Huai'an Prefecture is a huge mud pond. Zhang Zhun stepped in with one foot, and the consequences were difficult to predict.

The current governor of the grain transport and governor of Fengyang is Yang Yipeng. If history has not changed, the first month of next year, well, I am wrong. It is the first month of this year. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others will capture Fengyang Prefecture, burn Huangjue Temple, and turn Zhu Yuanzhang's Longxing Land to the sky. Yang Yipeng and the eunuch of the army will be beheaded by Emperor Chongzhen. After Yang Yipeng was executed, the governor of the grain transport was Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong.

Due to the power to supervise military affairs, the number of Ming troops in Huai'an Prefecture is still quite large. In addition to the guards and combat soldiers, Yang Yipeng also has a large number of grain peddlers. The so-called grain peddlers are the soldiers who ensure the safety of grain transportation, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the grain peddlers. Because the grain peddlers have money in their hands, the equipment of grain peddlers is better than that of the ordinary Ming army, and their fighting will is stronger than that of the ordinary Ming army. grain peddlers are an armed force that cannot be ignored.

When he was in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Zhang Zhun's troops had already had a conflict with the grain lieutenants, and dozens of grain lieutenants were killed. Even the grain lieutenants were killed. In addition to the precedent of bombarding Nanjing City, the Governor Yang and Governor Yang obviously would not like Zhang Zhun very much. Historical records show that Yang Yipeng is actually a very outstanding local official. In addition to his poor military capabilities, he is second to none in terms of internal affairs or personality.

Yang Yipeng, whose courtesy name is Dayou and his pseudonym Kuncen, was from Yunxi, Linxiang, Hunan (now Yunxi District, Yueyang City). He was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty (1610), and was the first to be the Chengdu Secretary Li. He was in charge of the area of ​​Bozhou (now Zunyi, Guiyang). The court wanted to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress. Yang advocated the adoption of a pacification policy, but the result was that Bozhou was pacified without any troops.

Soon, some officials who purchased imperial wood in Sichuan took the opportunity to extort local people, causing public resentment. After hearing the news, Yang Yipeng immediately ordered the unified price and the rioters were not allowed to be sent riots. He ruthlessly cracked down on illegal acts, killed several officials who committed crimes, and won the trust of the people of Sichuan.

Hehe, if he is responsible for cracking down on today's housing prices...

Due to his remarkable political achievements in Sichuan, Yang Yipeng was soon promoted to the Ministry of Personnel. He was in power and was appointed as the official. He refused to seek personal gains from those who wanted to advance. He was also promoted to the Chief of the Dali Temple. Yang Yipeng's behavior made corrupt officials hate him. Wei Zhongxian, who had always framed loyal and kind, formed a clique to frame him. Later, Wei Zhongxian was executed, and the court trusted Yang Yipeng more, saying that he was talented and virtuous, and was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War and was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat.

Yang Yipeng was not afraid of power, so he risked his life to make direct advice. He wrote the "Memorial on the Direct State Administration" to examine some corruption among officials. During the Chongzhen period, the chief of Xiangcheng, Li Shouqi, falsely reported the number of troops and embezzled military pay. Yang was angry and wrote a letter to impeachment. Chongzhen therefore promoted him to the Minister of Revenue, governor of the grain transportation, and governor of Fengyang. In the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635), the peasant uprising army conquered Fengyang and burned the imperial tomb. The emperor was furious. Li Shouqi and others took the opportunity to write a letter to sue Yang Yipeng for dereliction of duty. As a result, Chongzhen ordered Yang Yipeng to be executed.

Yang Yipeng's death was definitely a great loss for the court. In addition to his lack of military capabilities and lack of good at dealing with wars, this person can be used as a role model for officials in all aspects. Later generations only knew Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, but not Yang Yipeng, which is really regrettable. The people have gained benefits in all the places he ruled.
