Nanming Yiming

Chapter 109

Qian Mo got so drunk last night in the Zhuangyuan Building that he couldn't remember how he went to bed and slept until almost noon before waking up.

Qian Mo thought that the number one scholar red was so good after drinking it, and he still feels a little dizzy until now!
At this time, Hong Fugui walked in with a smile and said, "Your Excellency is awake, and I will congratulate Governor Qian at the end!"

Qian Mo said, "What good thing is there to make you happy like this?"

Hong Fugui said: "In the morning, the emissary of His Highness Jian Guo sent the order of canonization. Zhang Mingzhen, Marquis of Dingxi, was conferred the title of Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang by His Highness. The five prefectures of Wenzhou and Chuzhou; even Zhang Huangyan was promoted to governor of eastern Zhejiang."

"According to the envoy, Your Majesty the Governor has been canonized by His Royal Highness as the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the governor of the eight prefectures of Suzhou, Songjiang, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Yanzhou, and Quzhou."

"In addition, His Royal Highness Jianguo invited the emperor to let Governor Qian inherit the title of Uncle Zhongyong, and there will be no hereditary succession."

"Now I should change my name to the Governor-General as Uncle Zhongyong!"

Hearing the canonization, Qian Mo immediately saw through King Lu's petty thinking of using Zhang Mingzhen to check and balance himself, thinking that it seems that Gu Yanwu's mission was completed well, at least King Lu didn't tear his face.

A little Earl Qian Mo really didn't take it to heart, the title of Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was what Qian Mo needed.However, considering that Nanming's title is still of some value now, and it hasn't reached the level of flooding in the later period, if you pull thousands of people, you will be granted the title of Duke.

This loyal and brave uncle can be regarded as better than nothing.

It has been a day late in Ningbo, and now it is time to say goodbye to Zhang Mingzhen and the others.

Yesterday, the three of them let go of their previous suspicions and talked happily, drinking until late at night!Hearing that Qian Mo was going to leave, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan also went to Yongfeng gate to see Qian Mo off in person.

Qian Mo said: "Congratulations to Marquis Dingxi for being named governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, brother Cangshui promoted to governor of eastern Zhejiang!"

Zhang Mingzhen said: "His Royal Highness Jian Guo will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, he is truly a master; congratulations for being appointed Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"I should call Bu Shi Uncle Zhongyong now!"

Qian Mo said: "Now that the Qing army has assembled a large number of main forces to go south, it is estimated that the soldiers will soon reach the south of the Yangtze River. Jin Shenghuan has been unable to attack Ganzhou for a long time. I am worried that Jiangxi will lose. It is easy to go south of Anhui or go north to Susong or go straight to Nanjing.”

"Two brothers, don't worry, I will definitely hold back the main force of the Qing army. You just need to recover the state capital of Zhejiang."

Zhang Mingzhen also understood that King Lu's intention of conferring such titles was nothing more than to let Qian Mo hold back the Qing army so that he could take as much territory as possible in Zhejiang.Seeing Qian Mo being so righteous, the little bit of unhappiness from before has long since dissipated.

Zhang Mingzhen said: "Brother Wei is going south to attack Linhai today, please don't worry if you don't understand, I will definitely capture Yang Wenqi alive, and then hand him over to I don't understand!"

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen swept away the previous haze, and became that heroic "Hero of Nanming" again, and Qian Mo was also infected by his aura.He clasped his hands and replied, "Then I wish my brother all the best, and quickly pacify Eastern Zhejiang."

Zhang Mingzhen said to Zhang Huangyan: "I'm about to lead the army to the south, please trouble Cang Shui to see me off!"

The ancients sent each other five miles of short pavilions and ten miles of long pavilions. In fact, they didn't really want to send them so far.It's just that communication was inconvenient in ancient times, and it was not easy for friends who were far away from each other to meet once.

The sun is shining brightly in spring, and the moat glows golden yellow under the sunlight, and the aquatic plants sway with the wind, swaying carelessly in the water.Qian Mo and Zhang Huangyan rode horses along the river and said goodbye.

Although Qian Mo was not interested in the real culprit behind the assassination, Zhang Huangyan still felt that he had to give Qian Mo an explanation.

He said to Qian Mo: "After careful inspection, the firecracker used for the assassination was indeed belonging to our Ming army barracks; just as Uncle Zhongyong expected, we quickly found the suspect's body based on this clue, and he had been arrested. Killed early."

Qian Mo said: "Obviously this was carefully planned by the Qing court. I always feel that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind them, but there is no clue at the moment, so I can only see the tricks."

"Brother Cangshui will still call me ignorant in the future. Uncle Zhongyong is a reward from the imperial court, but it seems a bit strange to call me like this between brothers!"

Zhang Huangyan said: "If this was really planned by them alone, then maybe Yu Guowang and the others took the initiative to seek help from the ignorance, and it may not be so simple. Maybe there is a push behind it, after all, this incident is the fuse that triggered our conflict. "

After what Zhang Huangyan said, Qian Mo also felt that there was something strange about this matter, so it seemed that Liu Yichen had to investigate it carefully.

Said: "Thank you brother Cangshui for reminding! After Dingxihou's main force went south, Cangshui also had to be careful of Huang Binqing. According to my information, he and Tian Xiong exchanged prisoners once before."

"And when Tian Xiong stormed Ningbo, Huang Binqing actually stood still. I'm afraid he and Tian Xiong have reached some kind of tacit agreement!"

Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan had been squeezed out by Huang Binqing in Zhoushan before, and they had long been at odds. Zhang Huangyan was still quite wary of him, but he didn't expect Huang Binqing to form a tacit understanding with the Qing army.

Zhang Huangyan said: "Thank you Uncle Zhongyong for reminding me, I will definitely be more careful."

The two talked for a long time all the way, and before they knew it, they had traveled several miles away.

Qian Mo pointed to the long pavilion in the distance and said: "We meet each other sometimes in life, and we must say goodbye after sending you off for thousands of miles. Thank you Brother Cangshui for seeing you off all the way, we will meet again in the future!"

Zhang Huangyan also said: "I don't know how to cherish the journey, there will be a period later!"

Looking at the back of Qian Mo going away, Zhang Huangyan was also a little dazed. He has seen countless people but still can't see Qian Mo clearly!

Now Qian Mo is considered to be a good rider, and he can run directly from Ningbo City to Shaoxing City in one go.

Hearing that Qian Mo was assassinated in Ningbo City, everyone in Shaoxing broke out in a cold sweat. If something happened to Qian Mo, the consequences would be disastrous!
Liu Yichen said: "It seems that the Qing court has sent people to follow us, and the subordinates must hurry up and investigate to prevent similar things from happening again."

Qian Mo asked Liu Yichen: "Hu Rili, are you done?"

Liu Yichen said with a grin: "Governor Hong Fu, Hu Rili has already agreed to surrender."

Qian Mo originally thought that Liu Yichen couldn't handle Hu Rili, and wanted to go out to fool him himself, but he didn't expect that he had successfully recruited Hu Rili in just over a day.

So he asked, "How did you make him change his mind?"

Liu Yichen said with some embarrassment: "Actually, it's not because of my humble position to persuade you to surrender, it's all thanks to Mr. Lizhou!"

It turned out that it was Huang Zongxi who persuaded him to surrender, so it's not surprising. After all, he is a great thinker, so if he fooled Hu Rili, wouldn't it be easy to catch him?

Qian Mo said: "You are really lucky, I was planning to dismiss you and investigate you, but I didn't expect Mr. Lizhou to save your life. Thank you, sir!"

"Hu Rili's injury is quite serious, so he should stay in Shaoxing to recuperate, and return to Hangzhou when he recovers."

Now that Ningbo Fangfang has settled his feud with Zhang Mingzhen, Shaoxing has Wang Yi in charge, and 8000 people from Kuaiji Camp and Baitou Camp stay behind, so there is nothing to worry about.

After resting overnight, Qian Mo took 8000 people from Shenji Camp and Jingnan Camp to Hangzhou.

Qian Mo led the cavalry ahead on horseback, and arrived outside Hangzhou in less than half a day.

Compared with the desolation of the previous days, the West Lake is now very lively. The Su Causeway is full of pedestrians who come out for sightseeing, and there are many fishermen fishing by the lake.

Some small fishing boats can be seen floating on the rippling lake.On fishing boats, fishermen are leisurely throwing nets or paddling with paddles.

Everything is full of vitality!
Go north all the way along Phoenix Mountain, and soon you will be outside Yongjin Gate.Since Hangzhou Mancheng has been banned, it is much more convenient for people to travel to West Lake now, and it is also very lively here, with pedestrians shuttled everywhere.

Passing through the Yongjin Gate, you will arrive at the original Mancheng General's Mansion, and now it has become Qian Mo's Governor's Mansion.

Looking from a distance, you can see the lanterns and festoons outside the mansion, and the two rows of red lanterns hanging high are particularly eye-catching!

Qian Mo walked in and took a look at the four gold-plated characters of "Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion", which looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Two days ago, Gu Yanwu came to Hangzhou with the envoys of King Lu, but Qian Mo had not returned at this time, and everyone decided to change the governor's mansion into 'Zhongyongbo's mansion' first.

Although Qian Mo already knew the content of the canonization in Ningbo, Qian Mo still respectfully knelt down to meet His Royal Highness Jian Guo's will.

You must know that the price of this canonization is not small, 24 taels of silver, 24 shi of grain and 6 bolts of coarse cloth every year.

Qian Mo's heart ached for a long time when he gave Gu Yanwu the trump card. After all, Qian Mo has always plundered other people's wool. When was he plucked by others like this?

After sending off the envoy of King Lu, Qian Mo rushed to the former Zhejiang Governor's Yamen at the foot of Mount Wu, which has now been changed to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governor's Yamen.

Qian Mo's conferment this time is no small matter, except that Wang Yi, the newly appointed prefect of Shaoxing and commander-in-chief of the Kuaiji Battalion, has not recovered due to serious injuries, and Qian Ningyuan, the commander of the intelligence department, did not rush back to Hangzhou in Jiangxi.

The rest of the civil and military personnel rushed to Hangzhou City to celebrate Qian Mo's award as Uncle Zhongyong.

Qian Mo is now a warlord of the same rank, and his subordinates are no longer the grassroots team he used to be. Now that he owns four prefectures, he just uses this opportunity to let everyone get together, unify their thinking, and readjust their deployment.

Although the governor can have his own shogunate, after all, he cannot formally open the government and set up officials similar to the six ministries, which is still inconvenient.

Xia Wanchun first announced the appointment of officials in the governor's office:
Ren Zhongyong Bo Qian Mo is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Minister of the Ministry of War, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion; he supervises all matters in the eight mansions of Su, Song, Hu, Hangzhou, Jia, Shao, Yan and Qu.

Ren Xia Wanchun was the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also the left servant of the Ministry of officials; he was in charge of the eight government affairs.

Ren Qian Buer was the chief envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also a doctor of the household department.

Gu Yanwu was appointed as the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and also the deputy censor of Zuodu.

Ren Qianning was the commander of the intelligence department, and Liu Yichen was the deputy commander of the intelligence department.

Song Yingxing was appointed as the head of the Ordnance Department, and Xu Ermo was the deputy head of the Ordnance Department.

He served as Father Philip as the head of the Li Fansi, and contacted business travelers from Western and Thai countries.

Ren Huang Zongxi was the prefect of Hangzhou; Lu Bingwen was the prefect of Jiaxing; Ma Li was the prefect of Huzhou; Wang Yi was the prefect of Shaoxing.

Ren Weng Zhiheng was the admiral of northern Zhejiang, with jurisdiction over the Jingnan Camp, Tianmu Camp, Huzhou Camp, and Taihu Camp; a total of 4000 cavalry troops and 12000 infantry troops.

Ren Lu Shanhai was the admiral of western Zhejiang, and he had jurisdiction over Hangzhou Camp, Kuaiji Camp, Jiaxing Camp, and Baitou Camp; a total of 1000 cavalry troops and 16000 infantry troops.

Zeng Jiahui was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Navy of the Ming Dynasty, with 3000 sailors under his jurisdiction.

Ren Huangyu was the commander-in-chief of the Shenji Battalion, with 4000 infantry under his jurisdiction.

Ren Hong Fugui was the commander-in-chief of the Chongming Battalion, with 2000 cavalry troops and 2000 infantry troops under his jurisdiction.

The Governor's Mansion of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty has 10 battalions of land divisions, 7000 cavalry troops, and 34000 infantry troops; one navy division, 3000 navy troops.

钱不二说道：“截止永历二年4月1日，苏浙督府藩库共余白银42万3千两，粮食53万石。”

“苏浙布政使司下属产业司名下的良田共计40万2千亩。其中嘉兴府52000亩，湖州府198000亩，杭州府86000亩，绍兴府66000亩。”

"These fields are the traitors and puppet officials of the various prefectures and the unowned fields that were confiscated, and they are not counted as the official land under the original jurisdiction of the various prefectures."

"According to the requirements of the Governor's Mansion, the official land under the jurisdiction of each prefecture is the guarantee of the tax revenue of each prefecture. For the time being, the rent will be collected from the tenants according to the original normal year's rent. The land of the Department of Industry in each prefecture will be rented at a rate lower than 3% of the official land. , giving priority to renting to refugees."

"However, there are too many people and few fields at the moment, and the Department of Industry has restricted each household to rent a maximum of 10 acres of land."

Qian Mo said: "It seems that the efficiency of the chief envoy is good, and now the money and food have actually increased, and the momentum is good."

Qian Buer said with a wry smile: "In half a month, our army has defeated the three prefectures of Jiaxing, Hangzhou, and Shaoxing. We have received money and food from the treasury and confiscated a large number of traitors' properties. Only then has the treasury increased slightly. Now besides the two prefectures of Hangzhou and Shaoxing, there are Some traitors’ property has yet to be liquidated and recorded, and there is no such extra income.”

Let me calculate the current monthly income and expenditure of the Governor's Mansion:
Let's talk about spending first:

There are 44000 officers and soldiers under the Governor's Mansion, with a monthly salary of 10 taels;

Officials under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General's Mansion of Jiangsu and Zhejiang (not counting the officials of each government), the monthly salary is 1 taels of silver;

Ordnance Department's monthly production materials and craftsmen reward silver, 6 taels last month;

The tax paid to His Royal Highness Jian Guo is 2 taels per month;

Next month, 23 taels of silver will be used for the construction of the bastion and the shipyard, the expansion of the Hangzhou Wharf, and the renovation of the commercial district in the city.

In the absence of military expansion and no other additional expenditure items next month, the basic expenditure of the Governor's Office of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will be 43 taels.

Let's talk about income again:
4府的正常税收每年折合白银约156万两，按照2成自用，8成上缴的比例，平均每月是10万4千两。

However, taxes are mainly for summer grain and autumn grain, and the actual income does not arrive in the account every month.

The industry department handed over various surpluses last month, totaling 6 taels.

The Intelligence Department handed over 1 taels of silver to the treasury last month.

The Zhezi Theater Troupe handed over to the treasury last month, 8 taels of silver.

The actual monthly income of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion was only 18 taels, excluding the additional income such as the confiscation of the treasury and the confiscation of family properties.

Currently, I am seriously unable to make ends meet, and the income and expenditure gap next month will be as high as 25 taels!
