The ministers were completely shocked. This decision was actually a bit unexpected.
There has been no major war in Liaodong for three to five years, but the threat of slave creation is still there, so why were the governors removed?
Governor Jiliao holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and is in charge of the civil affairs and finance within his jurisdiction. During wars, local officials, including governors and governors, are subject to his control.
However, the Ministry of Economic Affairs is only established in places where the situation is complex, and it only governs military affairs and is not responsible for civil affairs. It is only responsible for matters related to war. In this way, logistics will be restricted.
If the governor and manager do not hold the title, they are of the same rank, but the difference in power is a bit big.
Combined with Qin Liangyu's appointment as the Left Governor, the ministers had more ideas in their minds.
"Yuan Aiqing, although Jiannu lost some soldiers and horses this time, his vitality was not damaged. Huang Taiji also fled back. I estimate that there will be civil strife within Jiannu for a period of time.
The next task of Liaodong is to be on guard, train troops, and guard against sneak attacks by Jiannu! If Liaodong needs anything, just submit a memorial! "
"I obey the decree!"
From the beginning to the end, Yuan Chonghuan's expression was extremely calm, and Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief.
Chongzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Chonghuan had some trouble handling it. Liaodong was entangled in the door, but it was not the time for Liaodong to touch them yet.
Otherwise, it would not be as simple as removing the supervisor, but direct dismissal and investigation.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Qin Liangyu left the office: "Your Majesty, on behalf of my daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi, I am resigning from the post of General of the Shizhu Camp!"
"Your Majesty, Fengyi has been accompanying me in battles over the years... I am not afraid of death, but Fengyi has many physical injuries... Please allow me, Your Majesty!"
The faces of the ministers were solemn. It was beyond the norm for a woman to go to the battlefield. Qin Liangyu led the troops to fight at the critical moment and made brilliant achievements.
There were many members of the Qin family in the army. Qin Liangyu's two elder brothers and one younger brother were both killed in the battle, and another nephew died in the battle of Longjingguan.
The Qin and Ma families have been loyal to each other for two generations. Now that the situation is stable, it is unreasonable to let the daughter-in-law lead troops in battles again.
Chongzhen also had a headache. He wanted to let him go, but he felt it was a pity, so he shouldn't let him go. It couldn't be justified.
When he was in a dilemma, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he immediately said: "Qin Aiqing, it's not that I won't let him go, but this is the time for the imperial court to employ people.
And Zhang Fengyi is familiar with military books and history, is good at literature and martial arts, has been on the battlefield for many years, is an expert at leading troops in battles, and marching and forming formations. I feel that it is a pity to be disbanded and return to the field now.
I can arrange a new place here so that she can cultivate herself at home and develop her talents! "
Qin Liangyu was stunned: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions!"
"In a while, the Martial Arts Hall will be fully completed and will be put into use after the Chinese New Year. The dean and other officials have not yet been appointed.
I think Zhang Fengyi can go to the martial arts hall to serve as a supervisor. Whether it is to teach children or to teach military generals who have returned for further training, it will be more than enough. No one dares to be unconvinced. What does Qin Aiqing think? "
"Your Majesty, I think this is not allowed!"
As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, came out: "Your Majesty, I am not targeting General Zhang. The martial arts hall is the most important weapon of the country and the foundation of a strong army. If women are allowed to enter, I am afraid that the soldiers will be suspicious and the etiquette and law will be inconsistent!"
"Your Majesty, I think what Liu Shangshu said is very true. The Supervisory Academy is a civil servant rank, and it also teaches children. Doesn't this tell the world that women can serve as officials?"
"There are two different things between being a military supervisor and a female general in the army. Female generals have not been uncommon since ancient times, but there are no such officials except during Wu Zetian's period. Taking this rashly will have extremely bad consequences."
"My lords, this is wrong. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, six ministerial bureaus were established, including Shangguan, Shangyi, Shangshi, Shangmu, Shangxi, and Shangshu, to control the palace's worship. Since women can enter the palace as officials, why? Can’t you join the martial arts hall and become an official?”
"I believe that Zhang Fengyi is the most suitable person to serve as the supervisor."
Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guards at the door, spoke up: "Zhang Fengyi's father, Zhang Quan, was a Jinshi during the Wanli period. He served as an official, a censor, and patrolled Shaanxi, Jiangxi, and Liaodong. He was invaded by the Jianzhou rebels and participated in secrets many times.
In the first year of Tianqi, Yuan Yingtai was incompetent and lost Liaodong and other places. Zhang Quan was captured and refused to kneel when he saw the commander-in-chief of Jiannu standing up. On August 22 of the first year of Tianqi, he paid homage to the capital from a distance, and then swung his sword to kill himself. This was after Zhongliang.
Married into the Ma family, followed Zhongzhen Hou and Ma Xianglin on their expeditions in the north and south. Through life and death, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, which can be learned from heaven and earth.
Jian Zheng is in charge of the administration and supervision of the martial arts hall. He needs a person who is upright, selfless and has high prestige.
And this person must at least be proficient in the art of war, marching formations, riding and shooting, etc. Judging from the current situation, Zhang Fengyi is the most suitable! If you feel it is not suitable, then nominate one! "
Listening to Li Ruolian's words, everyone's teeth ached.
You've moved the fucking Taizu out, what can we do, are you against it?
The Ming Dynasty can recruit at least a dozen of these people according to the rigid conditions for prison, but currently only Zhang Fengyi is available.
Especially Zhang Fengyi’s father, Zhang Quan, who committed suicide and died for the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the silent ministers, Chongzhen said calmly: "Qin Aiqing, what do you mean?"
"I accept the order on behalf of Zhang Fengyi!"
At this moment, Qin Liangyu also understood the emperor's intentions and helped the emperor watch the martial arts hall and not let the major forces reach out.
She understood this clearly, and so did the officials.
Teaching in a martial arts hall is absolutely safe and much more relaxing.
If you really want Zhang Fengyi to be free, you may not be able to do so. This is a perfect arrangement.
Seeing that the ministers were silent, Chongzhen sighed inwardly. Whether women could serve as officials in the court was still open to question.
This thing is more subversive than anything he has done since he came to the throne. Not only the world's literati are opposed to it, but even men are expected to be opposed to it. This is the thinking restriction of thousands of years of feudal tradition.
Zhang Fengyi's change is just a small trial. She will think about countermeasures after the results are achieved.
"I'm here to convey the message. Zhang Quan is loyal to the emperor and the country. He will present it to the Minister of the Ministry of War. His posthumous title is Wenzhong. His wife Huo will present her as a second-grade imperial concubine!"
The ministers were shocked again. The gifts of the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the imperial concubine were nothing more. The main thing was the posthumous title of Wenzhong.
Although it is not too high among the posthumous titles of civil servants, it is a great honor for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to be given a posthumous title by the emperor.
"The matter has been settled. On the day the imperial edict was issued, Zhang Fengyi immediately took over and was transferred to the position of supervisor of the Martial Arts Hall."
Chongzhen stood up from the dragon chair and walked to the edge of the platform: "Dear ladies, I mentioned the matter of the martial arts hall at the beginning of the year. I have been thinking about it.
The specific subjects to be set up will be announced after consultation with the six cabinet ministries when the new vice president arrives.
There is currently a lack of a deputy director in charge of the specific affairs of the martial arts hall. If you have a suitable one, you can recommend one. "
Facing the emperor's inquiry, the ministers looked thoughtful.
According to the emperor, the Military Academy was the highest training institution for generals in the Ming Dynasty. The director must know military and education.
It is best to have experience in the military. Such talents are really hard to find.
After a while, Sun Chengzong left work and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have a candidate, maybe you can give it a try!"
