The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 36 Situation
Master Jinglue finally let go, and Chen Ce was even more grateful in his heart.

It wasn't because of Tang Qing'an's affairs, but because of the other party's promotion of him, from being the secretary of the Liaodong capital to the experience department.

After the request of the boss, the court agreed to his appointment.

There are six divisions in the Liaodong Capital Division, and there are three major functional organizations above them, namely the Experience Division, the Judgment Division, and the Prison Division.

I am the Secretary of the Huke. Although I am the head of the Huke, I am only an ordinary official in the entire Liaodong Capital.

After being recommended by the boss, he became an official of the experience department, the head of the three major departments, and a sixth-rank official.

Subsequent judges are of the seventh grade, and the rank of the prison secretary is lower.

Local affairs are all discussed by the three departments, and the Experience Department has the highest level of experience and of course has the greatest influence. That is to say, he, Chen Ce, has changed from the chief officer in charge of the first department of the yamen to the chief officer who can intervene in local affairs.

There has been a qualitative change in power, and this is all thanks to the support of the boss.

Given the great kindness of the boss, Chen Ce is of course willing to explain in earnest why he wanted to build an ordnance station in Donghai Fort.

"My lord, last year the imperial court actually agreed with the Liao people's policy of guarding the land of the Liaodong Jiedushi. The subordinates believe that within three years, the situation in Liaodong will become serious."

Wang Zhen was stunned when he heard Chen Ce's serious words, he didn't expect him to be so bold.

He glanced at him without responding, but nodded slightly to show that he understood what he meant.

In the past, in the military system of various places in Dazhou, soldiers were transferred from other places to serve, and the policy of separating soldiers was implemented, and they were managed by the Liaodong capital.

The Liaodong Jiedu Mansion is only responsible for leading troops to fight, but the Liaodong Dusi is responsible for logistics, farming, patrolling, military weapons, military operations, and preparations.

The Liaodong capital is only responsible to the Shandong Chief Secretary and the imperial court, but Yingtian Mansion is separated in the middle, and it is very independent. Sometimes it even bypasses the Chief Secretary and talks directly to the imperial court.

Before the rise of the barbarians, the Liaodong Jiedu Mansion fought against Mongolia. It was located on the front line to lead the soldiers, and fought against the Liaodong Capital Division.

After the rise of the barbarians, the court shifted its focus to Shen and Liao, and the power of the Liaodong capital was greater than that of the Liaodong Jiedufu.

Shenyang, Liaodong, Hai, Gai, Fu, and Jin were dispatched into the camp by the Liaodong capital to set up separate guards and generals.

There are only three guards in Guangning, Beizhen, remaining in the Liaodong Jiedu Mansion.

Now the Liao people guard the land of Liao. After this policy is implemented, the guards in Liaodong will not be transferred outside, but will serve directly in the local area.

With the influence of Liaodong Jiedu Mansion, the strength will rise in a straight line.

However, the original influence of Liaodong Dusi will be weakened, and may even fall into the response of Liaodong Jiedufu.

For the public, to prevent the generals from supporting their own self-respect, and for the sake of the status of the Liaodong capital, we must prevent this from happening.

"The defeat of Fansarhu in the past resulted in the loss of the imperial court's elite, and the barbarian army was flourishing, threatening the safety of Shenyang. The Liao people guarding the land of Liao is also the imperial court's last resort."

Speaking of Saarhu's defeat, Wang Zhen looked calm.

He has always believed that the imperial court had improperly employed personnel and sent the governor of Liaodong to balance the situation. His people did not understand military affairs and acted willfully, which led to his failure.

It's not his fault.

The Supreme Emperor trusted him, and now there is no new Liaodong governor in Liaodong. He is confident in defending against the barbarian attacks and protecting Shenyang.

"Since the rise of Liaodong generals is already unstoppable, it must be under the control of the Liaodong capital."

Chen Ce said bluntly.

"It's one thing to make up for arrears, another thing to replenish weapons and equipment, another thing to rectify military discipline, another thing to appoint capable generals, and another thing to manage power. These five things can stabilize the morale of the army and prevent the generals from being domineering. .”

Wang Zhen laughed when he heard the words, looked at Chen Ce and said.

"That's exactly what it is. As long as the local civil and military work together and work hard, the great Zhou will be so powerful that no small barbarian can resist it."

Since the governor of Liaodong was punished, Wang Zhen has been under a lot of pressure.

If he fails again, he has no reason to explain, so he only allows himself to succeed and not to fail.

In the past few years, he has promoted talented officials arbitrarily, just like Chen Ce in front of him, treated military generals leniently, and tried his best to improve the strength of Liaodong, such as taking in a large number of Mongols.

Not only to defend Shenyang, but also to avenge Saarhu, wash away the stains on himself, and restore his reputation.

In the end, Chen Ce left the Jinglue Mansion. While he was relieved, he was also faintly worried.

The boss was brave enough to do things this year and tried to avenge the shame of the year. Chen Ce recognized it, but... the boss was a little too anxious.

The barbarians are now in full swing, and they should avoid their edge, so that they can slowly eliminate their opponent's strength by defending and gradually pressing.

This is a decision made by Liaodong Dusi.

Since the beginning of this year, [-] soldiers have been deployed on the front lines, and morale has only begun to improve, and the people have gradually returned home, gradually recovering their strength.

But looking at this year's arrangement, it doesn't seem like it means to be content with defense.

"Ugh."

Chen Ce couldn't figure out the future and was worried.

On the third day, Chen Ce went to meet Bing Xundao Bai Yangcui.

Bai Yangcui was given the title of Anchaqian, and belonged to Shandong Yanchasi. He was an official of the fifth rank, and now led the Liaoyang soldiers to patrol the Taoist officials.

There are no secrets in the officialdom. Chen Ce wants to be promoted to Liaodong Capital Division Experience Division. Although he is only a sixth rank, he has no less power than himself.

So Bai Yangcui greeted him with a smile, looking very polite.

After talking for a while, Chen Ce took the initiative to mention Tang Qing'an, saying that the Liaodong capital wanted to set up a gunpowder bureau in Donghaibao.

Bai Yangcui secretly glanced at Chen Ce.

The establishment of an ordnance station in Donghai Fort was rejected, but it was changed to a gunpowder bureau. This person is quite capable.

Twice for the benefit of hundreds of households in Donghai Fort, needless to say the rest, he still knows the purpose of the other party's visit, it must be for the martial arts.

Both of them didn't mention this matter, and after drinking some tea, Bai Yangcui sent Chen Ce away personally, and went to the Yamen a day later to ask the secretary to bring the registration form.

I clicked on the roster and handed it back to the clerk.

Back home, Chen Ce called Tang Qing'an, and Wu Jinxiao also followed, and informed about the Gunpowder Workshop.

"Set up a gunpowder shop in Donghai Fort." Tang Qing'an couldn't believe it, and immediately nodded gratefully.

Firearms were originally his future plan, and it was a surprise to be able to get access to gunpowder in advance.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Qing'an asked tentatively.

"Uncle Shi, this is not easy to do."

"I'm getting promoted."

Chen Ce didn't hide anything, and told him directly.

"Congratulations Uncle Shi."

Sure enough, Tang Qing'an was not too surprised. Uncle Shi's behavior has been abnormal these past few days, and his tone of voice is all-encompassing. Only in this way can it make sense.

Wu Jinxiao came to his senses later, and hurriedly asked what position he was promoted to.

"Department of experience." Chen Ce looked at Wu Jinxiao, the old man didn't understand the meaning of it, but that's fine, he doesn't have many real friends anymore.

Tang Qing'an got up and kowtowed to Chen Ce.

Seeing his nephew being so grand, Wu Jinxiao vaguely felt that this promotion was not easy.
