There are a total of five soldiers in Liaodong, and Gao pragmatism is one of them, and he is the only one in charge of southern Liaoning.
The reason why I say "lord" is because Kong Dongru, the Haigai general who can theoretically control Liaonan with him, is a military general. In today's era, his actual status is far inferior to that of a civilian official.
In addition, the so-called Haigai General, as the name suggests, is only responsible for Haizhou and Gaizhou. Jinzhou and Fuzhou further south are not under its jurisdiction, which is directly less than half of the high-pragmatic jurisdiction.
Furthermore, the position of military preparation itself has the responsibility of supervising the army. Since it is to supervise the army, who is supervising it? Naturally, whoever is stationed here will supervise whose army, and now... the main one is General Kong Dongru.
Since I have the responsibility to supervise you, how dare you disobey me? Just like the position of governor (to be precise, it should be a dispatch). In the Ming Dynasty, it was originally established to supervise local officials, but gradually became the chief local official.
The same is true for the inspector, who supervises all local officials including the governor. Although his rank is too low and his tenure is only one year, he was not able to become a local official. But look at what Gao Pinggxi did when he was in Guangxi. Weifeng knows how powerful the word "supervision" is in Ming Dynasty.
The position of "military preparation", or this mission, is not an ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty. Its origin can be traced back to the first year of Hongxi or the first year of Zhengtong - because there is controversy in the historians, we will not say more about this.
In short, this position is not an ancestral position, that is, it is the later "airborne" officer. Therefore, under the military preparation, there are no relevant yamen and subordinates. It is only when he becomes the absolute chief officer integrating administration, military, justice, etc. in the local area. , other civil and military officials in the region actually became his staff.
But as soon as Gao Pangshi took office, he discovered a big problem: he was short of civil servants, especially those responsible for local administration.
The system in Liaodong has always been a military control system without state or county settings. For example, the official name of Gaizhou, the current highly pragmatic autumn and winter station, is "Gaizhou Guard", which means that it is a guard station, and the same is true for the rest of Haizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou.
This means that the administration of these places is actually in the hands of the guards, and the commanders of the guards are all military attaches, and most of them are hereditary military attachés.
Sitting in the study room of the Bingxian Yamen, Gao Pragmatic, who was carefully reviewing the documents and files left by the successive ministers of Yuan Masi Temple and Jin Fuhai Gaibei, suddenly slapped his thigh!
"Damn it, I finally understand why Beidacang in the Red Dynasty and Liaodong, the core area of the Northeast's old industrial base, could never support themselves during the Ming Dynasty. They needed blood transfusions from the customs for two hundred years, until the Liao Dynasty. 'After that, the whole country gave it blood transfusions - this place is under military control, how can it develop? Do you expect those officials who only know how to turn military households into their own serfs can build Beidacang? What a dream!"
But... what to do? Shangshu please establish a grassroots civil service system? I'm afraid not.
Military control is implemented in the Jiubian area. This is an ancestral system. The establishment of governors and military preparations has already been added on the basis of the ancestral system. It is very difficult to continue to establish it.
This is because the establishment of governors and military preparation roads has its own specific era. Originally, a large number of Sai kings were established in the Jiubian area during the Hongwu period. However, with the Battle of Jingnan and Zhu Di becoming emperor, the Sai kings gradually moved inward, and the border areas Military power was concentrated in the General Military, resulting in the General Military having too much power. Only then did governors begin to be used to decentralize and suppress power.
However, it was later discovered that in terms of military power, the newly established governor could only play a role in logistics and other matters, and the degree of division of the power of the general army was still insufficient, so the military preparation channel was established.
Therefore, the governor's military power in the Jiubian area is actually accomplished through the military preparations. If the military preparations under the governor's command do not cooperate, the generals will not be able to mobilize any guard soldiers, let alone mobilize them. In terms of food, grass, ordnance and other supplies, the only ones the generals could mobilize at this time were their "accommodating servants."
But now if he wants to set up prefectures and counties in Liaodong to replace the health centers, Gao Qingshi feels that it will be difficult to win much support, firstly because of the ancestral system, and secondly because of inertia of thinking.
At this time, officials of the Ming Dynasty always regarded Jiubian as frontier military towns to protect the Central Plains. The requirements for these areas were stable defense lines, rather than a developed economy and a gathering of people.
It is even very likely that most officials will feel that the economy of areas like Liaodong should not be too developed - because if you are too developed, wouldn't the loss be greater if you are robbed by the Mongols or Jurchens?
Li Chengliang's performance in Liaodong for more than ten years has also deepened the impression among court officials: Li Chengliang is so good at fighting, there is no guarantee that Liaodong will not be robbed. At most, he can only seek revenge and fight back after being robbed. .
In turn, we can draw a conclusion: the more developed Liaodong is, the more it will be robbed, and once it is robbed, the more it will exploit the enemy.
Gao Pragmatic is scratching his head, this is going to be difficult...
If court officials want Liaodong to feel that it can develop vigorously, the prerequisite is that Liaodong is stable and will not be beaten or robbed. Gao Pragmatic felt that if Liaodong wanted to avoid being beaten or robbed, it must first have strong strength.
And this kind of strength cannot always be achieved by blood transfusion within the customs. Liaodong itself must have sufficient hematopoietic ability. Otherwise, with the transportation conditions of this era, even if he has high pragmatism to open up sea transportation, after all, it is far from being able to compete with Liaodong. The efficiency of later generations is comparable!
Who is responsible for the transportation losses here? Do you really think that if Jinghua comes to transport it, it won't "float"? It's just that Jinghua's claims are real claims, and they won't be false reports.
Gao pragmatic frowned deeply and paced back and forth in the study, thinking about how to create the prerequisites for the development of Liaodong.
After a while, he stood still with a solemn expression and whispered: "Other areas in Liaodong are uneasy, but southern Liaoning is still relatively peaceful. I might as well do the opposite and start with Liaoning." We should create stability in the south and make it a pilot that is not a pilot, and then use this as an example to convince the court.
As for not having enough civil servants... If not, then there won't be any for now. Everything is difficult at the beginning. I will first summon a few senior guards to Gaizhou for a meeting to see who can be used. If you really can't even make do, then don't blame me for just ignoring you! "
Most of the guards' officers are hereditary, and the hereditary commanders in the pass often communicate with each other, and even exchange posts across provinces. In the Liaodong region, due to geographical relations, the exchanges of guards' officers rarely cross regions, and they are basically all in Liaodong locals are transferred back and forth, so the integrity is particularly strong.
Gao Pangshi has just arrived. Although he is a strong dragon, he does not want to get into trouble with local snakes as soon as he comes. Therefore, he does not intend to make trouble with the generals under his command on a large scale. Instead, he plans to rely on Jinghua in case they are really unusable. The servant system temporarily empties their real power - of course, only the real power in local management.
There are more than 40,000 soldiers on the list, but in Kong Dongru's eyes, none of them are usable. How can a pragmatic person tolerate this situation?
Therefore, on the one hand, to improve the economy of southern Liaoning, it must at least be rich enough to prepare its own weapons and armor (locally purchased, but not necessarily self-produced), and it is even better to solve the food problem as well, regardless of Buy or plant.
Parallel to this is the real "organizing the gold, restoring the sea, and building up military preparations."
