Feng Ziying is indeed not satisfied with the current situation, especially Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie.
He had known the situation with Xie Zhenye for a long time. Although Xie Zhenye was incompetent, he had a correct attitude. He had reported the situation of the guards under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Dusi early, which allowed him to have a true understanding. However, the performance of Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie was... It's hard to let go.
It is admitted that the Provincial Affairs Department is one of the three departments, but in fact it assumes the responsibilities of the remaining five departments under the seven departments except the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice.
Of course, the Chief Envoy in the Ministry of Personnel has more power to recommend and evaluate, and has no decision-making power. However, Xi'an Prefecture alone covers six states and 33 counties. How can the Ministry of Personnel have the energy to intervene in a province from the seventh grade? The assessment, evaluation and even promotion of hundreds of officials from county magistrate to second-rank chief envoy?
It can be said that except for officials above the fourth rank, officials below the fourth rank mainly rely on officials from the Chief Envoy Department to evaluate and recommend these officials. The Ministry of Personnel only reviews these evaluation and recommendation opinions. Generally speaking, When local officials below the fourth rank are reported to the Ministry of Personnel, unless there is a special response or the officials are valued by the DPRK, they will basically be handled according to the opinions of the Chief Envoy.
In addition to the power of the Ministry of Personnel, the powers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites are relatively complete. They are all in the hands of the Chief Envoy, and their power to guide the lower prefectures is unquestionable.
The Imperial Prosecutor's Office mainly assumed the power of the Ministry of Punishment, and also took into account part of the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not come down, this part of the power was partially shouldered by them, but when the censors After they came down, they took over automatically, but based on this origin, the power of the Inspector General's Office was unusual, and it had the weight to compete with the Chief Minister's Office.
The Dusi takes over the powers of the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, but has to take away part of the border towns, so it is relatively weak, but it still has the decision-making power over the guards in the inland areas.
Lu Chuan had previously held all the power, but when the situation became uncontrollable, he shifted all responsibilities to the Inspector General and the Dusi, accusing the Inspector General of being stupid and ignorant, and failing to detect the movements of the mob in time, which resulted in the government's failure to intervene in time. After the situation worsened, he accused Du Si of failing to train the guards well and being unable to cope with the rapid deterioration of the situation, resulting in loss of control.
Feng Ziying was particularly dissatisfied that Xi'an Prefecture would become an active area for rebels.
If the rebellion in the three prefectures of Yan'an, Qingyang and Pingliang was out of control, he felt it was excusable. Indeed, the land in these three prefectures was barren, years of drought, and the gentry were powerful and harsh, making it difficult for the people to rise up to make a living. This was all justified. .
But in Xi'an, which is the most beautiful place in Shaanxi and the most fertile area in the Guanzhong Plain, how could it become a riot area like Yan'an, Qingyang and Pingyang? The rebel forces are even more powerful than the three prefectures in northern Shaanxi, which is simply incomprehensible.
Xi'an Prefecture has a great responsibility, but Lu Chuan cannot escape the responsibility.
"The situation of the four guards in Xi'an is very bad, even worse than I imagined." Feng Ziying said in a cold tone, "Xie Zhenye gave a detailed account of the situation. In addition to some remaining issues left by Yun Guang when he was still the governor of Shaanxi, There are also mistakes made by Lu Chuan and Xie Zhenye in recent years. Theoretically, the Four Guards should have twelve battalions and more than 40,000 guards, but in fact the shortage is as high as more than 40%, with only ten incomplete battalions and less than 20,000 troops. Five thousand people, that's it. The key is that the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, the soldiers and armor are not repaired, and the training is blank. They are almost the troops stationed in the Guanzhong Plain. If they want to fight, they cannot be sent to the battlefield at all. They may even be worse than Minzhuang. "
"But because of the presence of the Four Guards of Xi'an, Xi'an Prefecture has not established a mechanism for strengthening the people at all. Unlike other prefectures, which can quickly mobilize the people and strengthen the people, isn't this a loss of both ends?" Wu Yaoqing also felt that this matter was embarrassing.
"Humph, the expenses of the Dusi are not low every year. Xie Zhenye admits that he has some problems, but the Chief Envoy and the Xi'an Prefecture have also budgeted for 15,000 people, but they are all funded by the Dusi. ,..." Feng Ziying squeezed out the words through her teeth word by word.
"What?!" Wu Yaoqing was horrified, "How dare they be so bold? Are they really not afraid of the Metropolitan Procuratorate..."
"The sky is high and the emperor is far away. These are the accumulated debts and bad debts of more than ten years. Many of them are blamed on Yun Guang. Anyway, Yun Guang has been interrogated and many accounts cannot be checked clearly..." Feng Ziying said with a cold smile. "These few years
They used all kinds of clever names. Xianning and Chang'an counties were right under their noses. It was difficult to fake them, so they just listed the counties far away, such as Zhen'an, Sanshui, Hancheng, Linyang, Shanyang, etc. Counties such as Shangnan randomly recruited thirty or fifty people to make a show, and then falsely reported that there were five hundred people strong. They did not expect that the chaos caused by the severe drought would cause the rebel army to cause trouble in Linyang, Hancheng, and now it is In this situation, Xie Zhenye felt that he couldn't hide it, so he took the initiative to confess to me.
"What about Mr. Lu?" This is the key.
If Lu Chuan can maintain his posture, Feng Ziying may not necessarily have to deal with him. Wu Yaoqing knows Feng Ziying's historical attitude, but if Lu Chuan still resists, Feng Ziying will definitely not tolerate it.
"Humph, I'm just waiting to see when he plans to give me an explanation. Whether he wants to delay or pretend to be deaf and dumb, I'll let him go. I just follow my path. In the end, I want to Let's see how long he can survive, and what will he say when this happens?" Feng Ziying's eyes became a little sharper.
Shaanxi was a mess. Feng Ziying had known for a long time that he had been to Shaanxi when Ningxia suppressed the rebellion. Later, Yun Guang, the governor of Shaanxi, was implicated. There were many shady activities in it, but he didn't dig too deep at the time, so he hastily dismissed it. Take down Yun Guang and settle the matter.
But after so many years, the imperial court did not appoint another governor. Lu Chuan was actually the number one figure in Shaanxi. His hands must have made a lot of money, but Lu Chuan was not particularly greedy in terms of money. He valued more Power, and extremely strong, but even so, Feng Ziying made a rough estimate that it would be easy for Lu Chuan to earn two to three hundred thousand taels in the past few years as the Zuo Chief Envoy.
Canals and ditches were built, post roads were built, cities were repaired, and relief donations were collected. In addition, Shaanxi has always been the area with the most serious land annexation. The government has huge power in adjudicating these land annexation lawsuits. In addition, there are some criminal cases. Lu Chuan acted as The chief envoy from the left just said hello casually, whether it was the lower prefecture or even the envoy to the inspection department, who would not buy it?
Even Wang Xifeng was able to use Yun Guang to bridge the gap and lobby the government to win the lawsuits, let alone Lu Chuan, who is now more in power?
Sir, now is probably not a good time to break up with Sir Lu. Wu Yaoqing pondered for a while and suggested: "He is indeed a little panicked now, but after all, he has been operating in Shaanxi for many years. Your Excellency has just arrived here, and he is also very enthusiastic. If you attack him rashly, I am afraid it will attract the attention of the provincial officials." Afraid and alienated, I thought it would be inappropriate to break up with him before completely pacifying the rebel forces. Moreover, my subordinates thought that this was actually a temptation and test to see if he was willing to accept the adults' actions and opinions and take the initiative to deal with this situation. Smooth things out and be honest with the adults..."
Feng Ziying laughed out loud, "Lu Chuan has been arrogant for so many years, do you think he will bow to me easily?"
Times have changed, and I'm afraid it won't be up to him. "Wu Yaoqing thinks it's normal. Although Mr. Lu is strong in the Chief Envoy's Department and the Chief Envoy on the right is vacant, the several political councilors are not good people. Mr. Lu controls all the power and money in the Chief Envoy's Department. He refused to let go, but the political and political councilors were definitely dissatisfied and would inevitably take advantage of various opportunities to attack him. Now that the Lord is here, these people must feel that they have a backbone, and naturally want to use their criticism of Lord Lu. Come and show your favor to your lord, and you can consider the pros and cons and choose the one that is most powerful to us..."
"Yao Qing, do you want me to provoke the masses to fight against the masses?" Feng Ziying laughed, but he was moved by the idea of using these officials to compete with Lu Chuan. The scale is controllable, and he can slowly stand in it. Steady your footing, then penetrate in, and make the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to you.
"Sir, even without us, Mr. Lu's character is too strong and he lacks tolerance, so there must be a lot of conflicts and constraints here, so this matter will definitely be properly resolved in your hands. "Wu Yaoqing is also analyzing for Feng Ziying, "My lord, I would like to take things step by step and calm down the rebels step by step, and then you can consider making a fuss about building water conservancy. After this severe drought, the people of Shaanxi have also been affected. I have to look forward to it. If I build water conservancy projects at this time, I will definitely win the support of the people. Even the landowners are a little dissatisfied, but look at the misery of the refugees and hungry people.
Looking at the situation, looking at the momentum of the rebel army, I'm afraid it's time for them to reconsider. "
"Yao Qing, you think too highly of these gentry landlords. Their vision is only so long. They only focus on the petty profits in front of them. They would rather be hanged by the rebel army than give up their wealth. The situation in northern Shaanxi You should have seen that, so I had no choice but to take the wrong approach." At this point, Feng Ziying seemed to think of something, "By the way, how is Qiu Zixiong's progress?"
"Soon, Yanchuan and Yanchang were captured by him, and he controlled the rhythm very well. Jing Zhizhong followed suit, but too much tacit understanding could easily arouse the suspicion of the gentry and landlords, so Qiu Zixiong and I I wrote to him and suggested that he should not think too much about Jing Zhizhong in the subsequent progress, and might as well throw random punches, so as to avoid giving others a thumb."
Wu Yaoqing's suggestion made Feng Ziying very satisfied, "Very good, Yaoqing, your opinion is very pertinent. Qiu Zixiong should understand the secret..."
