Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"After the military affairs academy is over, you should also serve as staff officers in the army." Under the expectation of the two, Aimee Zhu said, "Zhang Huangyan went to Yang Zhan Dubiao Town as a battalion officer, and Chen Bangyan went to Li Dingguo Dubiao Town Ren Yingshen."

It is Zhang Huangyan and Chen Bangyan's wish to serve in the army, not to mention that there will be wars in the Southwest Army this year and next, which is a good time to make contributions.

Therefore, both of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and said: "This humble minister takes orders!"

As for their battalion officers, they were two ranks lower than Liu Shixun's general staff, but the two didn't care because it was as it should be.

After all, Liu Shixun was a military Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen. Although he was born as a general, he has been in the army for several years.

Although the official positions in the late Chongzhen period and the Hongguang period were somewhat inflated, Liu Shixun's resume cannot be denied.

As for the staff system, it is a military reform implemented by the Ming Dynasty New Army in the border guards and imperial guards this year.

Each town has a general staff (full name: General Staff Military) and two deputy general staff.Responsible for assisting the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief to formulate combat plans, share military affairs, and fill in vacancies.

Therefore, it is commonly known as a military division.

In fact, the powers and responsibilities of staff officers are more clearly defined, and they are not as powerful as the so-called military divisions.

Each battalion under the military town has a battalion staff officer, and there is no staff officer at the general level.

That is to say, there are only six staff officers in a border guard and imperial guard army town, all of whom belong to the Staff Department of the Military Affairs Council.

Yan Ermei's position is also newly created.

Under Aimee Zhu's proposal, diplomatic-related rights are being gradually transferred from the Ministry of Rites back to Honglu Temple, and Honglu Temple will be equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ming Dynasty in the future.

Relevant positions include: Diplomatic Ambassador ([-]th rank), Deputy Diplomatic Envoy ([-]th rank), Diplomatic Minister ([-]th rank), Diplomatic Envoy ([-]th rank), Diplomatic Counselor ([-]th rank), and Diplomatic Secretary ([-]th rank).

There are also diplomatic attachés, all of whom are officials.

The rank of diplomatic attache is determined separately.

Don't think that the rank of diplomats is low. It should be known that the main officials of the ministries are all of the sixth rank;

In the past, it was very likely that the doctor would be given the title of servant and released as a governor, and then he would enter the ranks of officials in the frontier.

···
After Zhang Huangyan, Yan Ermei and others left, Aimee Zhu looked at Gansu and Yunnan on the map for a while.

Even when he went back to the old house in the bamboo forest for lunch, he seemed a bit out of place.

Hao Guangming and Aimee Zhu lived together almost day and night, and they were inseparable (followed by the mobile phone video). Naturally, he had some understanding of Aimee Zhu's thoughts, so he asked, "Why, are you still worried about the candidates for the governors of Gansu and Yunnan provinces?"

"Yeah." Auntie Zhu nodded, showing a helpless look, "Speaking of which, there are some incumbent and non-office officials who are suitable for my Daming. Unfortunately, I know too little about these people, and I am afraid that I will hire the wrong person."

Hao Guangming laughed and said, "Then you can use the Internet here to check their resumes and future deeds one by one. You can always find the right one."

This is actually a stupid way.

Aimee Zhu felt that this was the only way to go, but she said: "It's too slow for me to check by myself, Mr. Mister must help me."

"no problem."

Hao Guangming is still very happy to study the history of the late Ming Dynasty with his wife.

In the past, he liked to watch Ming Dynasty history time travel, and he just watched it for fun, without seeking deep understanding. He didn't care about the various characters and knowledge in it, and he didn't investigate its authenticity.

Now she is serving as an internal reference for Zhu Yuxi, the empress of the Ming Dynasty, so it is natural to study the history of the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, he has been doing it all the time when he has free time...
After lunch, the two of them didn't take a lunch break. They sat on the sofa and looked up information together with their tablets.

Of course, when Aimee Zhu used to go to the Hall of Martial Arts to "work" in the middle, she still went there and brought some supplies there to reassure Liu Zhu and the guards of the Imperial Forest Army serving the Hall of Martial Arts.

After spending two or three hours in the afternoon, the two achieved good results, and found a group of officials who were available in the late Ming Dynasty from various historical materials on the Internet in later generations.

Moreover, among these officials, Aimee Zhu finally found some satisfactory candidates for the governors of Gansu and Yunnan.

On the Gansu side, in 1643, the former governor Lin Rirui and the successor governor Yang Rujing died together at the hands of the Shun army. After that, the Ming Dynasty never appointed a new governor of Gansu.

Considering that Gansu was almost surrounded by foreign enemies in the northwest and belonged to a strategic location in the northwest, Aimee Zhu finally chose a governor with some military talents.

Although the governor doesn't care about the military nowadays, in a place like Gansu, the governor must cooperate with the generals of the various armies and towns. People who understand military affairs are naturally more suitable.

The name of this person is Sun Jiaji, born in 1604, from Yuyao, Zhejiang, and a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen.

After watching politics, he was initially appointed as the head of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, and later changed to the head of the Ministry of War in Beijing, and then moved to the Ministry of War as a member of Wai Lang and Lang Zhong.

This speed of promotion was very common in the late Chongzhen period, especially for officials who were good at military affairs, they were often promoted quickly as soon as they were appreciated by Chongzhen.

It's a pity that after the battle where Lu Xiangsheng died, Sun Jiaji wrote a letter of impeachment because he couldn't understand Gao Qiqian's taking power, but was framed by Gao Qiqian and sent to prison.

Therefore, he was a student of Huang Daozhou. Soon after, Huang Daozhou also offended Chongzhen because of Xie Xuelong's recommendation, and was arrested and imprisoned. The master and apprentice stayed in the prison together.

Later, Xu Shilin, then Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, wrote a letter to defend him, and Chongzhen released Sun Jiaji.

Last year, when King Fu succeeded to the throne, he was recruited to serve as a soldier in Jiujiang. Sun Jiaji did not take up the post because he did not like the eunuch party.

It can be said that although he entered the officialdom late, his qualifications as governor of Gansu are barely enough.Because the matter of military preparation was the way of military preparation in the Qing Dynasty, and it was only one step away from the governor.

Sun Jiaji is relatively young (42 years old), and he is good at military affairs, so he is suitable to be the governor of Gansu.

On the Yunnan side, there is actually a governor named Wu Zhaoyuan.

This old man was born in 1571, and he was only awarded a Jinshi in 41 years of Wanli. Now he is 75 years old.

It is a late bloomer, and its previous officials have performed well.After Chongzhen was promoted to the Zuobu Political Envoy of Yunnan in the eighth year, he made remarkable achievements in three or four years.

In the winter of the 12th year of Chongzhen, this old man came to the capital to see and report on his work. He originally wanted to tell his old man to return to his hometown.But his political achievements were too good, and Chongzhen had no one to use, so he was promoted to let him continue to shine as governor of Yunnan.

Therefore, the old man served as the governor of Yunnan at the age of nearly 70 years old.

However, precisely because Wu Zhaoyuan has been an official in Yunnan for many years and has a good reputation, Sha Dingzhou hijacked Kunming after he occupied it, hoping to use it as a signboard to recruit and surrender.

Now Wu Zhaoyuan does not know whether he is alive or dead.

From Aimee Zhu's point of view, even if Wu Zhaoyuan is still alive, he should retire at such an old age.

However, judging from the historical data of later generations, it is very likely that Wu Zhaoyuan died shortly after being hijacked by Shadingzhou...
Among the many candidates searched in the afternoon, Auntie Zhu finally settled on the former governor of Fujian, Xiao Yifu.

This gentleman was born in 1585, a native of Dongguan, Guangdong, a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, and served in Fujian, Guangxi, Henan and other places.He has good achievements in suppressing bandits and thieves in military affairs, but he is known for his filial piety and kindness.

In the history of later generations, when the Qing army invaded Shaoguan, Xiao Yifu, who had retired and lived in his hometown, donated his savings of 600 taels of silver to build a fort to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

This monarch originally became an official because of discord with the central power officials of the imperial court in the last years of the Chongzhen Dynasty.Although he is 61 years old now, he is not too old to be a governor of a province.

Aunt Zhu believes that the situation in the court today is very different from that of a few years ago, as long as she orders to be summoned, Xiao Yifu will most likely be summoned and go to Yunnan to take up the post.

After all, judging from his later actions against the Qing Dynasty, he still has a lot of affection for Daming in his heart.
