I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 291 Cheng Shijie Also Has a Backer
Chapter 290

To this day, the Ninghai Navy’s Supervision Department has developed into a comprehensive organization spanning multiple departments. Whether it is the Ninghai Navy’s field hospital system, or the command divisions, navy, cavalry, and artillery, there are supervisors. The men and horses of the military administration system.

In addition to the military system, there are also the Liaodong Management Committee and various ministries. Cheng Shijie has fully implemented the policy of building branches on the company.

If we want to subdivide it, the current Ninghai Military Supervision Department is similar to the functions of the Central Ministry of Warships. At the same time, all walks of life in Liaodong have also recognized the functions of the Supervision Department. In charge of the functions of the ICAC, for example, if an official is found to be violating the law and discipline, he can report to the Military Supervision Bureau, either with his real name or anonymously.

The Military Supervision Department also has the power to mobilize the entire police system in Liaodong. Of course, if the police system encounters gangsters, they have no right to mobilize troops. They need to ask the Military Supervision Department for instructions, and the Military Supervision Department will mobilize no more than 200 garrison troops. , Cooperate with the police to arrest the gangsters, if the 200-man Ning Haijun is still unable to take down the gangsters, this requires the General Staff to mobilize field troops.

Although it is said that the Military Supervision Department has direct jurisdiction over the Guard Division, the Guard Division only undertakes the protection function of Cheng Shijie and does not participate in other work.As for the mobilization of the garrison or the police by the Military Supervision Department, they will leave a record and report it to Cheng Shijie.

Putting power in a cage has a constraint on the Supervision, Military and Road Administration. This is Cheng Shijie's management experience in the factory. At the beginning, Hangang Group once set up a supervision brigade to be responsible for the labor discipline of the whole group and maintain the company's regulations. Responsible for supervision from the general manager to ordinary employees.

After the establishment of this department, in the initial period of time, it was indeed to strengthen the labor discipline of Hansteel Group and significantly improve the mental outlook of the entire group. The sweet pastry of the company and its subsidiaries, the first supervisor (director level) was corrupted in his third year of work.

It once appeared that if you violated the discipline, you violated the discipline, and if you did not violate the discipline, you also violated the discipline.

The real reason for this is that the department of the Supervision Brigade has too much power and has no constraints. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the chairman and is directly responsible to the chairman. The captain covered the sky with one hand.

Now Cheng Shijie trusts Chen Guodong very much, and Chen Guodong is responsible for many things. However, the problem is that the Military Supervision Department has a lot of power. If there is no restriction, it will form a department similar to Jinyiwei, which will gradually deteriorate.In the Ming Dynasty, there were a total of 32 commanders of Jinyiwei.

Although Jin Yiwei is very attached to the emperor, most of the leaders of Jin Yiwei are indeed only loyal to the emperor, but this does not mean that all Jin Yiwei are loyal ministers.Throughout the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei had many traitors from its establishment to its demise, and Luo Yangxing at the end of Ming Dynasty was one of the "leaders".

Emperor Chongzhen treated Luo Yangxing highly and kindly.Luo Yangxing's father was once the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he knew everything about it for the emperor, so as soon as Emperor Chongzhen came to the throne, he promoted Luo Yangxing to be the left governor and let him take charge of the Jinyiwei.

Emperor Chongzhen did not take Luo Yangxing seriously, but how did Luo Yangxing repay Chongzhen?Eat and get cards, steal and play tricks.As a Jin Yiwei, his duty is to do things for the emperor, but Luo Yangxing failed to do this.

But in terms of serving as the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Jin Yiwei did not do this at all. Since the fourth year of Chongzhen, there have been no more than [-] or [-] Jin Yiwei who have arrived in Liaodong. It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen's understanding of Liaodong is basically nothing. learn.

So Empress Zhou felt extremely shocked when she arrived in Liaodong. The real reason was that Jin Yiwei and Factory Guard both took Cheng Shijie's money and benefits, and they would naturally speak for Cheng Shijie and say things that were beneficial to Cheng Shijie.

Ninghai State's Military Supervision Department has some functions similar to those of Jin Yiwei, but it does not have the power to interrogate prisoners or suspects. This power is in the Criminal Prosecution Division under the jurisdiction of the court.

Chen Guodong received the order from Cheng Shijie, and immediately began to issue orders to the supervisors at all levels to find Zhang Pu.

In the era of no information technology, it is actually very difficult to find someone to come. Fortunately, hotels and inns at all levels in Liaodong have the habit of registering.

After a simple investigation, it was found that there are a total of 43 people named Zhang Pu in Jinzhou. Among them, 24 people who disagreed with their ages were excluded, and there were 45 people between the ages of [-] and [-].

People in the Ming Dynasty are different from the later generations. People in the later generations generally want to dress younger, but in the Ming Dynasty, being young is not a good impression. Being young also means that you are not stable enough, so even if you have just crowned, you will still be reserved. Beard, dressed very old-fashioned, so the difference in appearance between the age of 26 and the age of 40 is not obvious.

And Chen Guodong went directly to Liaodong Bank. Now Liaodong no longer accepts ordinary silver ingots, silver ingots, gold and other precious metals. All transactions must be converted into silver coins or gold coins. This exchange record will leave a file in the bank. .

However, Liaodong Bank did not find any record of Zhang Pu exchanging silver coins at the bank. Of course, this situation is not the same as that of later generations. After all, Zhang Pu is also the leader of Fushe, and he does not need to handle many things himself.

"Master Xiantai, we have found out!"

That is to say, nearly half an hour later, Chen Guodong received the report and found Zhang Pu's trace.

It turned out that the doctor in charge of treating Zhang Pu's injuries was a graduate of Xinghai Medical College, and this doctor had registered with the Medical Bureau. When he learned of the investigation of Zhang Pu, he took the initiative to report to the police station.

"Let's go to the Oriental Inn!"

Jinzhou City at night is still bustling.Although this is not a city that never sleeps, it doesn't have a curfew like other cities. With the holding of the athletics conference, travelers who can't stay in the competitive town can only choose to live in Jinzhou City.In addition, this Golden State can also be regarded as a port city, with two seaports in the east and west.

Sailors who spend a lot of time at sea also need to go ashore for consumption. Although Jinzhou does not have a red-light district like Zhenhai City, there are many pubs. Because of drinking and rioting and fighting, this is a key area for police patrols.

The Oriental Inn, although it is called an inn, also operates a hotel business. The business scope of this chain store of the Oriental Inn has made the hotels of later generations integrate accommodation, catering, bars, singing and dancing, and entertainment.

When Chen Guodong and other dozens of people came to the Dongfang Inn, they did not disturb the guests in the store. Liaodong is a very fair place. Even the soldiers of the Ning Navy are not allowed to go to the store to eat and get cards, let alone cause trouble.

The man saw that Chen Guodong was wearing a weapon and wearing the uniform of Ning Haijun, and his attitude was very good.

"Master, would you like a glass of wine? It's free, our boss has already ordered that as long as our brother Ning Haijun comes to drink, he will give you a free glass of wine, two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian!"

"No, we're working!"

Chen Guodong took out Zhang Pu's portrait and asked, "Have you seen this man?"

"I've seen it before, this person is crazy, with a broken mouth, he likes to curse people very much!"

"Take us to him!"

"Okay, military master, please!"

When the clerk led Chen Guodong and others to the small courtyard where Zhang Pu stayed, there was no accident, if nothing else, there was no Zhang Pu in the small courtyard, and there were no servants of him, the tea on the table was still warm. Hot, apparently, they had just left.

Starting to search from the Dongfang Inn, even if it was like a dragnet search, Zhang Pu was not found.

After working all night, Chen Guodong had no choice but to report to Cheng Shijie.

"You searched in the wrong direction!"

Cheng Shijie said with a faint smile: "You only searched inns, hotels and hotels. Zhang Pu has a great reputation. In Jinzhou, it is impossible for him to have no friends. If he lives in a friend's house, how can you find him?"

"Do you want……"

"never mind!"

Cheng Shijie said: "If Dasuo is in the whole city, what charges will I use to punish him?"

If Zhang Pu was captured silently, he would be killed if he was killed. Anyway, there are drunks fighting every day in Liaodong. However, Cheng Shijie did not completely prohibit such things, nor is it like later generations, as long as fighting, deal with it strictly.

The law in Liaodong is more flexible than that of later generations. The word "fighting" is divided into objects and occasions. If it is in a public place, it must be divided into causes and processes. If one party is drunk, the other party is not drunk. As long as no one is killed, it is the same. Fine.If one party is an ordinary citizen of a good family, and the other party is a businessman or unemployed, the handling method will be different, and it will be more serious.

When the time comes, push this matter to the drunk, and then this matter can be resolved.

But the problem is that it is different now. If Dasuo finds Zhang Pu in the whole city, what should we do?Killing him, scholars scolding others is a basic operation, they even dare to scold the emperor, let alone Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie can't kill Zhang Pu just because of scolding him.

Liaodong has no cases of people being executed for cursing. In fact, the number of prisoners executed in Liaodong has been in single digits so far. Even if someone is killed during a fight, it is only indefinite labor reform and sent to Luzon.

What Cheng Shijie didn't know was.

Zhang Pu's luck was really good. When he finished writing the letter, he had already decided to go to Beijing to contact his colleagues in person, and was ready to backfire and support Zhou Yanru to re-enter the cabinet.

The plan had already been made, and when Cheng Shijie ordered Zhang Pu to be arrested, he had already left Jinzhou City. Compared to Cheng Shijie, it was a big deal to lose temperature.

However, when he was about to arrive at West Port of Jinzhou, the servant who was packing his luggage reported to Zhang Pu: "Master, it's not good, that martial artist Cheng Shijie is sending people to arrest you all over the city!"

"Hmph, the reaction is quite fast!"

Zhang Pu smiled coldly: "Unfortunately, they are late!"

After Zhang Pu arrived at Xigang, Jinzhou, he went out to sea overnight. Since he was chartered a boat and the water was shallow, it was not a big problem to sail close to the sea.

After arriving in Tianjin from Jinzhou, Zhang Pu turned his plan to reverse Wen into a reverse course. He contacted his good friends from the Donglin Party, but it was simple. It's totally fine.

In this way, on the day Zhang Pu arrived in the capital, an undercurrent began to emerge.

In the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. Zhang Xianzhong, the chief culprit who dug the old Zhu's ancestral grave, was finally captured alive by Cheng Shijie and sent to the Forbidden City.The double happiness came when Gao Qiqian sent this month's income to the capital again.

A total of 82 taels of silver, which is only a one-month protection fee, 82 taels of silver has entered the internal treasury without anyone noticing, and finally can give some pocket money to Queen Zhou, the princess, and the prince.

What made Emperor Chongzhen even more happy was that the Guan Ning Army finally rose up once, and the Jiannu attacked the Ningjin defense line.The heads will then be sent to the capital. What is different from the past is that the number of gains reported by the Guan Ning Army is mixed, so there must be nothing wrong with it.

This put Chongzhen in a good mood. Since he ascended the throne, he has fought almost unbeaten battles with Jiannu. It was not until Cheng Shijie's victory in Haizhou that he was relieved. Later, he regained Liaoyang and fought well. Slave has no temper.

However, these victories against Jiannu were almost all fought by Ning Haijun. When other Ming troops encountered Jiannu, they were either afraid of fighting or fearing the enemy, or they were completely defeated.

As the saying goes, a unique show is not spring, and this is the first time Guan Ningjun has won another victory in Ningyuan. With both large sums of money and good news, Emperor Chongzhen is naturally in a good mood, with a smile on his lips Said: "All the lovers will play early if they have something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

Now it's not the end of autumn, and there are no disasters from various places, and the early court is just going through the motions, so don't take it so seriously.However, I saw a ghost today, and before the Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, a civil official came out of the class and called: "The minister has a book to play!"

When Chongzhen saw it, it turned out to be Zheng Yan.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood instantly. This Zheng Xing was a famous person in Yushitai, and he was also a well-known troll. If you focus on someone, you will never let go, even if the emperor comes out to mediate, it will not work, just like a mad dog.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and asked, "What's the matter with Aiqing?"

Zheng Xun bowed and said, "I impeach Cheng Shijie, the governor of Liaodong, to fight for the interests of the people, to govern ineffectively, to destroy the defense of the Hua and Barbarians, and to disrupt the Huaxia Confucianism!"

"what?"

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked. Last year, Cheng Shijie got him 300 million shi of grain and more than 800 million taels of silver. Otherwise, he didn't know how to get through the difficulties.

You must know that Liaodong is not a provincial administrative unit among the two capitals and thirteen provinces. It is only half of Shandong. Cheng Shijie got him so much money, which is a very scary figure.If the governor of the world has half of Cheng Shijie's ability, why worry about the treasury running out of money?

If Cheng Shijie didn't compete with the people for profit, how much land would it take to get more than 300 million shi grains, plus more than 800 million taels of silver?

According to this year's market, this money can be more.

Just as Zheng Xun finished speaking, Gu Xichou came out again during the incident and said, "I impeach Cheng Shijie for arbitrarily recruiting and accepting rebels, forging military and state weapons, forming cliques for private interests, occupying people's fields, claiming benefits from the people, reusing the barbarians, and supporting cults..."

"My lord, to impeach Cheng Shijie for being greedy and lustful, Princess Shang is a blessing from God, but she has hundreds of beautiful concubines..."

"My lord, impeach Cheng Shijie for bullying men and women, usurping people's fields, insulting country gentlemen many times, colluding with businessmen to make huge profits, and even using desperadoes to encourage military households to strive for power. My virtue of humility and comity in China has been disregarded." He is devastated!"

"My minister impeached, Cheng Shijie reused the abbots to spread the cult in Liaodong, vigorously promoted strange skills and obscenities, despised the ways of sages, and rejected scholars!"

"Your minister impeached Cheng Shijie for profiteering, and privately distributed crossbows and other military weapons to civilians, and implemented the strategy of all the people as soldiers. It is really ulterior motives. I hope that the emperor will dismiss this person as soon as possible, otherwise disaster will happen to the town!

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes. Cheng Shijie implemented the policy of all citizens in Liaodong. He had reported to him and explained to him that the position of Liaodong is really important. It is the first line of defense in the Liaodong battlefield. An army can only be defended by a staunch people.

In the first year of Apocalypse, Liaodong was abandoned, and 400 million Liao people had been massacred by Jiannu. To keep Liaodong, it is not enough to garrison a strong army. Even the whole people are soldiers.

However, the impeachment of Cheng Shijie by the Manchu court continued.

Especially those charges made Emperor Chongzhen feel dumbfounded.

"My lord, impeach Cheng Shijie, disregard the norms, men and women study in the same room, women and men compete on the same stage, male superiority and female inferiority no longer exist;"

"My minister impeached Cheng Shijie, put the cart before the horse, and acted against the law. Merchants run rampant in the market, and are worshiped as gods by the ordinary people. Everyone in Liaodong is proud of doing business and ashamed of farming. Large areas of land are used to build workshops. Agriculture is the national policy of the country. has been discarded without leaving a trace;"

"My minister impeached Cheng Shijie to search for the people's anointment, build churches, and promote cults. Villagers and foolish women scrambled to join religions, which caused the rise of Western cults in Liaodong. The poison was endless, and the defense of Huayi was completely destroyed..."

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty are really capable of turning black and white. In their mouths, Cheng Shijie has become a money-grubbing and lustful man, obsessed with strange skills and obscene tricks, colluding with government and businessmen, exploiting the place, promoting cults and poisoning the people, and has turned Liaodong into a world. Hell, it's a heinous crime!

Later, some ministers from Jiangnan were already beating their chests and feet, filled with righteous indignation, and knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison: "Please make a decision early, send Jin Yiwei and Cheng Shijie to strictly investigate and punish the people of Liaodong!"

The officials from Jiangnan who were made to die by Cheng Shijie, full of sense of justice, kowtowed repeatedly: "Cheng Shijie has poisoned Liaodong, and the people of Liaodong are miserable. Please ask the Holy One to be the master for them!"

"Not killing Cheng Shijie is not enough to anger the people!"

Although these officials open their mouths, they represent the people of the world.Although those ministers cried out and painted a doomsday scene for Chongzhen,

If it was seven or eight years ago, when Emperor Chongzhen had just become emperor, Emperor Chongzhen would have been fooled into distinguishing between east, west, north, and south, and sent Jin Yiwei to tie up Cheng Shijie and cut him alive. But after being emperor for so many years, he has been fooled for a long time Now, Chongzhen gradually saw clearly what kind of people were kneeling in front of him.

To put it simply, they can’t do whatever they want, they can’t eat whatever they want, they can’t resist foreign enemies, they can’t clean up officials, expand tax sources and reverse the fiscal deficit, they can’t manage local governments, and they’re still not good at governing the local area. .

Sometimes, Emperor Chongzhen even regretted killing the eunuchs. If Wei Zhongxian was still there, the situation would have been better a few years ago, at least his money would not be so tight. Don't forget to leave a portion for the emperor when you are full.

It doesn't matter whether Cheng Shijie caused anger and hatred, let alone no, even if Cheng Shijie really caused anger and hatred in Liaodong, he would not deal with Cheng Shijie.

The reason is very simple, after dealing with Cheng Shijie, who will get him money?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet. In fact, Wen Tiren was still in a daze. He actually got the news that someone wanted to do something about him.

The bastards of the Donglin Party wanted to mess with him, but they couldn't keep their secrets at all, because most of the Donglin Party was a woman who had a milk or a mother. They invited Zhang Pu's name and Wen Tiren's profit at the same time.

In the past, Wen Tiren was really worried that Sun Chengzong, who was behind Cheng Shijie, would take his place. However, now he understood that Cheng Shijie had dealt a cruel blow to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend. Like Cheng Shijie, he is at odds with the Donglin Party.

"Old Wen Ge, what do you think?"

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that everyone is exaggerating."

Emperor Chongzhen asked, "How?"

Wen Tiren looked around at the ministers, and said slowly: "It is nothing new to study Western learning and hire barbarian technicians for my use. From Jiangnan to Liaoxi, which military town does not have barbarian technicians helping our army forge guns? From Guangdong In Shandong, which city doesn’t have a Western church? Didn’t Your Majesty hire many missionaries to help with the almanac?”

Zheng Xing snorted coldly: "Your Majesty hired missionaries, but only asked them to help with the almanac, but did not allow them to preach!"

"If the law cannot be restrained, it will work!"

Wen Tiren said with a serious face: "But there is no law that prohibits them from preaching in Daming! Xiyi has many unique technologies. Governor Cheng thought he could use them, so he learned from them and vigorously promoted these technologies. , what’s wrong? Everyone put the hat of colluding with Xiyi and destroying the defense of Huayi on Governor Cheng’s head, are you exaggerating?”

Zheng Po pouted his neck and said, "Even if Xiyi has some trivial skills that can be used, it is not appropriate to let them spread cults in Liaodong..."

Xu Guangqi, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, got up tremblingly, and walked towards Zheng Xun: "Zheng Qianzhi, what basis do you keep saying that Western religions are cults?"

In the original time and space, Xu Guangqi was Sun Yuanhua's teacher. Sun Yuanhua was beheaded because he came out of Denglai Rebellion, and Xu Guangqi was hit hard.Later, he died in depression and died in the sixth year of Chongzhen.

However, in this time and space.

Because Kong Youde had not had time to corrupt Shandong, he was pacified by Cheng Shijie, and Sun Yuanhua was not implicated. His two big disciples, Sun Yuanhua, became the governor of the water transport, the governor of the four houses, and the second rank of the official residence.

And his young disciple Chen Zilong even became the number one scholar, and became the first number one magistrate in the Ming Dynasty, and the Western Law Party also developed very well in Liaodong because of Cheng Shijie.

On the contrary, Xu Guangqi's health is getting better and better. He was originally a devout Catholic, and he did not fight with the world. Because he did not fight, he was trusted by Emperor Chongzhen. In four years, his status was the same as that of Wen Tiren, as stable as Mount Tai.

Zheng Xun panicked. Although he was a big troll, he also knew who could and couldn't.Xu Guangqi happens to be the kind of person who cannot be criticized. This man is not only a great Confucian, but also an astronomer, hydrologist, mathematician, agronomist, and philosopher. Confronting him, it must be the rhythm of being beaten by tricks.
