While the battle was fierce on the grassland, Yang Fan was also busy.
He received orders from the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, the Governor-General of Jiliao, and the Commander-in-Chief of Northern Zhili, Si Sanjia. He was allowed to travel out of the customs and drive away the Mongolian tribes approaching the Great Wall.
Yang Fan was a little confused when he looked at the official document from Governor Ji Liao. He didn't know whether Yuandu, the governor of Ji Liao, was in charge of him, or the Governor of Ji Liao in Santun Camp was in charge of him. Who should be listened to? If two people gave contradictory orders at the same time, whose order should he take as the criterion?
However, after these official documents came out, it was obvious that His Majesty agreed to Yang Fan's request to go out to patrol the border.
In order to leave the country to rescue Duolun, he wrote to Wang Chengen, saying that Duolun's woolen textile factory could give him 20% of its shares.
Wang Chengen was very satisfied and immediately said that it would be his responsibility to put Duolun into Yang Fan's defense zone.
In Wang Chengen's view, no one except Yang Fan would dare to go to a place like the grassland.
He built a city there. Even if the court wanted to send civil servants to manage it, no one would dare to go.
Because it is much more dangerous than Liaodong.
The biggest danger in Liaodong is that it is the front line, and wars often break out.
But Duolun is completely alone in the depths of the prairie, more than four hundred miles away from the Great Wall. Isn't this going to die? Maybe if the city is destroyed that day, they will be slaves to the Mongols on the grassland.
The Mongols do not respect Confucius, and it is not like they have never experienced the incident of eight prostitutes, nine scholars and ten beggars. They don't care whether you study or not, they will still catch you and herd the sheep.
The Great Wall in the Zunhua Defense Zone is more than 80 kilometers in total. Among them, the area under the jurisdiction of Yang Fan's Hexi Shouyu Qianhu is 22 kilometers long.
When the wasteland was first divided into areas under Yang Fan's jurisdiction, the old and cunning landowners of Zunhua Guard gave him as many dangerous areas as possible near the Great Wall that could be demarcated.
In this way, the defense of Malanguan Pass was also handed over to Yang Fan.
The soldiers there have been transferred. These battalions were previously under the control of Governor Jiliao.
Yang Fan knew what these villains were planning.
But I'm too lazy to argue with them. I own a section of the Great Wall and several gates, and it is convenient to enter and exit the gates. Any military operations are kept secret.
From the perspective of the talented Zunhua Guards, the Qianhu Guard Station is directly under the jurisdiction of Beizhili Dusi and has nothing to do with the Zunhua Guards.
Throwing this section of the Great Wall defense line to Yang Fan is equivalent to shortening the defense line of the Great Wall that Zunhua Guard is responsible for. Why wouldn't they do it. The front line doesn't dare to take too much free money, after all, they have to fight. Something big will happen if the person is gone.
As for Governor Ji Liao of Santun Camp in Ji Town, he was even more happy. It is equivalent to throwing the defense of a section of the Great Wall to the garrison. If they have less responsibility, they can get more free money.
Yang Fan felt that his head was so messed up. These bullshit official positions and powers overlapped each other, giving him a headache.
He had no choice but to find Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru to clarify things for him. Only then did I understand what was going on.
Ji Town and Liaodong Town are two towns.
The civilian commander in Jizhen is called Governor Ji Liao, and the civilian commander in Liaodong is called Liaodong Jinglue. These are two positions.
Santun camp is where Ji Town is governed. It is just over thirty miles east of Zunhua.
At this time, the Liaodong Economic Strategy was located in Ningyuan City in the central part of the Liaoxi Corridor.
Yuan Chonghuan's station is not in Santunying, but in Ningyuan.
How did Governor Ji Liao come out? In fact, it is equivalent to the combined title of the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Liaodong, with expanded powers and expanded jurisdiction.
Governor Ji Liao, the full name is Governor Ji Liao, Baoding and other military affairs, and also in charge of food and wages. Control the three towns of Shuntian, Baoding and Liaodong, and the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong and Baoding.
In the 29th year of Jiajing, the governor of Jizhou was established, and the following year it was changed to the governor of Jiliao.
The governor-general of Jiliao, the governor-general of Xuanda, and the governor-general of Shaanxi-Gansu are all the same official positions. It is the civilian prime minister's military and civilian affairs in the border town area. Equivalent to the general manager of the march in the Tang Dynasty and the Jiedushi in the early Song Dynasty.
Governor Ji Liao was not Yuan Chonghuan at this time, he was just controlled by him.
This position has always been filled by dedicated personnel from its establishment to the end of the Ming Dynasty. It is a fixed position. From its establishment in the 25th year of Jiajing (1550) to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 55 people held this position.
At this time, the governor of Jiliao was Yu Anxing, a native of Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province. In April of the first year of Chongzhen, Guiji succeeded Zhang Fengyi as governor of Jiliao on May 5, 1628. In the second year of Chongzhen, that is, 1629, he was dismissed for some reasons.
Yuan Chonghuan was so powerful at this time that Liaodong Town, Ji Town, Tianjin Governor, Shandong Governor, Denglai Governor, and Dongjiang Town were all under his control.
Governor Ji Liao has the most power since Sun Chengzong.
Yuan Chonghuan is very domineering in terms of power.
Yu Anxing, the governor of Jiliao, and Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, both had the same title. They were both ministers of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They were of the same rank.
Although on the surface, he is controlled by Yuan Chonghuan, in fact, it can be said that everything should be discussed and handled by everyone.
Yuan Chonghuan could not tolerate this situation, and soon something happened to Yu Anxing.
In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a rebellion in Ji Town due to a pay mutiny. This is another pay mutiny.
There was a mutiny in Ningyuan, and Bi Ziyan, the governor of Liaodong, committed suicide. From then on, there was no longer a new governor of Liaodong, and Yuan Chonghuan became a part-time governor. From now on no one can restrain him.
The governor of Liaodong was established by the imperial court to contain and balance the power of Liaodong's economic strategy. Just like Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen.
The mutiny in Jizhen caused Yu Anxing to be dismissed from get out of class in leap April - "return to his hometown to listen to the survey" ("Chongzhen Changbian").
After Yu Anxing dismissed get out of class, the court appointed Liu Ce to replace him, but Liu Ce was obviously of lower rank than Yuan Chonghuan.
Therefore, he did not have the capital to be on an equal footing with Yuan Chonghuan. In most matters, Liu Ce must be controlled by Yuan Chonghuan. Basically, what Superintendent Yuan says is whatever he says.
Yu Anxing is on stage now, but he will leave before May next year. He was also a blessing in disguise. He was dismissed due to personnel disputes and just escaped the slave invasion the next year.
His successor Liu Ce became the scapegoat. He took office less than half a year ago and his buttocks are not even hot yet. Huang Taiji called. Because the Qing troops entered Da'ankou and could not defend it, they abandoned the city and abandoned the city in the first month of the following year. Now my head is gone. Yang Fan sometimes sat there and lamented that so many people have been unlucky since Yuandudu came up. Poor our Marshal Mao Wenlong, he has no alertness at all. I really don’t know what to say about him.
Lin Yueru explained that Liaodong Economic Strategy was the highest official responsible for military affairs in Liaodong. Just focus on Liaodong. The power is actually smaller than that of Governor Ji Liao.
Governor Ji Liao can intervene in Liaodong affairs. The Liaodong Economic Strategy cannot interfere in affairs outside Liaodong.
The predecessor of Jiliao Governor was Liaodong Economic Strategy, and its establishment was related to the War to Resist Japan and Aid Korea during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. It was a temporary position at the time.
The first official Liaodong administrator was Song Yingchang. During the Wanli period, the Jurchens in Jianzhou rose to prominence and were reset again, becoming fixed positions.
Its purpose is to deal with the threat of the emerging post-golden forces.
After the Battle of Sarhu broke out in 1619, the Ming army suffered repeated defeats. The first person to serve as the governor of Jiliao was Sun Chengzong.
Prior to this, the highest official in Liaodong was Liaodong Jinglue, usually holding the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of War and Right Qiandu Censor. Its authority lies in the jurisdiction of the army of various garrison stations and the general army of the camp in Liaodong, as well as civilian officials below the governor of Liaodong.
It can be seen that his official rank is relatively low. A level lower than Governor Ji Liao. He holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, but you, the Liaodong manager, hold the title of Minister.
But at this time, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong, the emperor's master who was on the way to supervise the army, asked himself to supervise the army. It is no longer possible to use Jinglue as an official title.
In order to be consistent with his official position and identity, Emperor Tianqi "issued an imperial edict to Guanfang, appointing the original officer to supervise the military affairs of Shanhaiguan and Ji, Liao, Tianjin, Deng, and Lai, and he acted expediently and did not control it."
Therefore, after the Liaodong Strategy, he disappeared and became the Governor of Jiliao.
Rank and power all rose. The scope of jurisdiction is larger than that of Governor Jiliao. Involved Shandong, Denglai, Dongjiang, etc.
But in terms of rank, the Governor of Jiliao and the Governor of Jiliao exist in parallel, with the same rank and the same status, but nominally the Governor of Jiliao controls the Governor of Jiliao. These two positions are held by the Minister of War and the right deputy of the Imperial Palace.
The post of Governor of Jiliao went through three stages: initial establishment, cancellation and re-establishment in the late Ming Dynasty. The division of responsibilities of Governor of Jiliao also changed with the cancellation of Governor of Jiliao.
After Yuan Chonghuan was killed in the second year of Chongzhen, the court never had a new governor of Jiliao, and he was the last one. In fact, Governor Jiliao will be abolished next year. Only Governor Jiliao was still in the Santun camp.
Although both the Governor of Jiliao and the Governor of Jiliao contain the word "Jiliao", their responsibilities are different.
Governor Ji Liao is actually responsible for the defense of Ji Town, while Governor Ji Liao is responsible for the defense of Liaodong. However, the two have mutual support responsibilities. Governor Ji Liao controls Ji and aids Liao, while Governor Ji Liao controls Liao and aids Ji.
Yuan Chonghuan's ability to have such great power in this term was entirely given by Chongzhen, and it was a special case.
Yang Fan didn't understand this matter at first and was completely confused. Later, the little girl explained it to him repeatedly, and even shook the fool's head with her little hands to see how much water had entered, and finally Yang Fan figured it out.
Yang Fan looked at the three orders in his hand and finally understood how Governor Ji Liao and Yuandu had divided their powers.
But Yang Fan is not too keen on the so-called principle of checks and balances, where you are in me and I am in you.
Checks and balances are nothing. When nothing goes wrong, they fight for power and profit, and the dog pulls the sheep's skin. The checks and balances appear to be effective.
When something happens, they put the blame on each other and everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, not caring about the frost on other people's tiles. Besides bureaucracy and inaction, there are far more benefits than anything.
However, now that the order came, Yang Fan made up his mind and prepared to leave seclusion.
This is the first time Yang Fan has led troops out of the border to fight, out of careful consideration. He decided to hold a meeting first to worry about the leaders from all walks of life.
