Luo Zhixue's feelings about Hebei Governor Xia Jialiang were not good, but they were not bad either.
In Luo Zhixue's view, Xia Jialiang, who was born in the former Ming Dynasty and took refuge during the Unification War, was very smart, but sometimes he was too smart.
This person is said to be smart because after he came here, although he worked in the Ethical and Education Department for a long time, he still maintained a strong learning attitude. During the few years he served in the Ethical and Education Department, he learned a lot of new knowledge through self-study. , especially proficient in industrial and commercial affairs.
Then he abruptly transformed himself from a traditional scholar-turned-official to a new-style official, thereby escaping the fate of many officials who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty: after the Chu Empire unified China, they successively became officials or retreated to the second line.
During the Chu Empire's unification of China, in order to reduce the resistance of the Ming Dynasty, and also because the empire did lack a large number of officials during its founding period, it accepted a large number of officials from the former Ming Dynasty, most of whom were middle and low-level officials, but there were also many high-ranking officials. .
However, after the Chu Empire completely overthrew the Ming Dynasty, the Chu Empire launched frequent and very intense administrative rectifications.
In addition to the conventional fight against corruption, it is to kill a former Ming Dynasty veteran and young man among the officials.
During this process, a large number of officials who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were dismissed due to corruption, disloyalty, etc.
At the same time, there were many surrendered officials who chose to take the initiative to serve because they could not adapt to the official rules of the Chu Empire.
Of course, there are some people who initially surrendered out of desperation. After surrendering, their wealth and life were guaranteed, and they chose to become officials. These people still had some backbone and looked down on the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Empire who were born bandits.
Of course, more officials who surrendered were unable to keep up with the many changes in the Chu Empire.
There is a big difference between being an official in the Chu Empire and being an official in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, the Great Chu Empire paid great attention to the people's livelihood economy. In the assessment of local officials, the people's livelihood economy was a very important item, and its importance was comparable to ethics and the rule of law.
Many surrendered officials were unable to keep up with this change in thinking, and were unable to do their job in the officialdom of the Chu Empire. In the end, they were not promoted or even marginalized.
Especially when students trained by Guozijian University and other universities began to enter the officialdom of the Chu Empire in large numbers, it was very common for the new to replace the old.
Under such a general situation, few officials who were former surrender officials of the Ming Dynasty were able to climb all the way up the officialdom of the Chu Empire, and even climbed to the position of second-rank governor.
Xia Jialiang is one of the few.
During his tenure in the Ministry of Ethics and Education, he spent a lot of time and energy getting in touch with and learning various new disciplines, and published many important articles in the economic field.
Later, he was transferred to a local government as an official, step by step, from county magistrate to prefect, then to chief envoy, and finally in the 24th year of Chengshun, he was promoted to governor of Hebei.
Being able to be promoted smoothly all the way means that he is doing well in the local area and is very good at developing people's livelihood and economic affairs.
But this person also has a shortcoming... he cries and complains all the time, and he is very thick-skinned.
When others are local officials, they only report important matters when they use secret documents, and they do not use secret documents frequently.
But Xia Jialiang was different. When he was serving in the local government, he liked to write secret papers very much. Although he didn't get one every two days, he would get one every ten and a half months.
In the early years, Luo Zhixue didn't pay attention to this person at first, but after discovering that this person asked for greetings too frequently, he directly reprimanded him: "Don't fucking send me greetings to you from now on, wasting imperial postal resources!"
Every governor-level secret envelope is delivered at the highest level of delivery speed. If you write a fucking secret envelope, the staff of the Post Office will have to break their legs along the way!
Later, Xia Jialiang no longer had to say goodbye to Mi Zhe, but the frequency of Mi Zhe still did not decrease, and he only talked about trivial things.
It rains heavily in Tianjin, and this person will write a secret note.
The sun shines out in Tianjin for a few days, and he even writes a secret note.
I wrote a secret letter even if I had a cold. What I wrote was very affectionate. The wording and sentences even gave me the feeling of arranging funeral arrangements. At that time, when Luo Zhixue saw this secret letter to report illness, he thought Xia Jialiang's life was short-lived, and he even arranged for the imperial doctor to pay a visit...
How should I put it, although Luo Zhixue didn't really like this person in his heart, he was still a monarch and his minister, and Xia Jialiang was also a feudal official of the empire.
He had been seriously ill for a short time, so he still needed to be given the dignity he deserved. It was also appropriate to send an imperial doctor over to take a look.
As a result, a few days later, I received another secret message from Xia Jialiang, saying that his cold was gone, and that he had gone to Dagukou for an inspection, and there were a lot of sighs.
fuck!
Luo Zhixue sent people to chase the imperial doctor back with a dark face, and then went to the hospital with a special order: From now on, you are not allowed to go to the secret book unless you have important matters, otherwise I will let you know what the wrath of the emperor is!
For this matter, Luo Zhixue also specially improved his secret folding system, strictly prohibiting officials from using secret folding to greet guests, chatting and spanking, and must not use secret folding unless necessary.
Because there are many officials, especially local officials, who are similar to Xia Jialiang and like to use secret folds to increase their presence in Luo Zhixue...
They used secret folders to enhance their presence, but Luo Zhixue read every secret folder... and all he saw was a lot of trivial matters.
So Luo Zhixue simply made a clear decision not to allow them to use secret discounts.
Only then did the Chu Empire's secret reporting system evolve into a real channel for secret reporting of important matters.
Through the secret incident, we know that Luo Zhixue doesn't really like Xia Jialiang in his heart... If this person wasn't really good at developing the local economy and developed the people's livelihood economy in Hebei, Luo Zhixue would have put his The official hat was thrown off.
Now seeing this Xia Jialiang, seeing this old man looking like he might be moved to tears or even have a runny nose, Luo Zhixue sighed inwardly.
After pretending to be a harmonious king and minister, he said a few words and then quickly walked towards the military general on the other side.
Those who came to the train station to greet him were not only local civil servants in Hebei, headed by Xia Jialiang, but also generals from the military system.
The leader was Army General Luo Yang, commander of the Third Group Army. In addition, there were the commander of the Fifth Cavalry Corps, the commander of the 12th Army, several division commanders, the Hebei Provincial Garrison Commander and other local generals stationed in various places in Hebei.
Tianjin was not only the largest industrial base, economic center, and transportation hub of the Chu Empire in the northern region, but also the military center.
The headquarters of the Third Army, one of the eight army levels of the Great Chu Empire, is established here.
The Dachu Empire currently has a total of eight army group headquarters, which are responsible for field army training and combat affairs in different regions.
The First Group Army has its headquarters in Yinning, Turpan Province, and its units are stationed in Central Asia, Turpan, Gansu, and Qinghai.
The Second Army has its headquarters in Tobo City, Ob Province, and its troops are distributed throughout Siberia. It seems to be spread over a wide area, but in fact it is the smallest army in the group, with a total strength of only more than 60,000. Because Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, it has a small population and naturally does not need many troops. The main force of the group army, about 50,000, is deployed along the Ob River. The rear is basically a few hundred here and a thousand there. Take people.
The Third Army has its headquarters in Tianjin, Hebei Province, and its troops are located in North China, Northeast China, Monan, Mobei, the Korean Peninsula and other places. Because there are no external threats in this area, the actual war pressure is very small, and it seems that the strength of the troops is insufficient. There are few, but they are basically composed of second-line troops. In the huge Third Army, there are only two first-class divisions, one deployed in Tianjin and the other in Liaodong.
The Fourth Group Army has its headquarters in Chengdu and its troops are located in Sichuan, Dongkang, and Xikang. This group army mainly targets the remaining local chieftain forces and does not have the ability or demand for large-scale external expansion...because it is opposite the Himalayas. ...So the total force strength is actually not much, and there are not even military-level organizations under his command. They are all directly under the jurisdiction of divisions and brigades.
The Fifth Group Army has its headquarters in Guangzhou, and its troops are stationed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Chunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Annan provinces and other southern China regions. Due to the combat needs of the coast and the Nanyang Peninsula, its troops are mostly composed of amphibious troops and jungle troops. The troops and mountain troops were mainly used. The troops used by the Chu Empire to expand in the Nanyang region and the Indian region were basically drawn from this army group.
The Sixth Group Army has its headquarters in Jinling, and its troops are deployed in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Anlu, Jiangxi and other places. This force is mainly used to control and defend the capital, but also takes into account the direction of external expansion to support troops, such as Fusang, Bei A considerable part of the supporting troops in the Americas are drawn from the Sixth Army.
The Seventh Army has its headquarters in Zhengzhou, and its troops are mainly stationed in Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Chubei and other places. This is a typical internal defense group army, with the core of controlling the Central Plains. It is also one of the strategic reserves. It seems that there are no local areas. What a place, but in fact there are many heavy troops. Zhengzhou, a transportation hub, has at least 30,000 first-class combat-ready troops deployed all year round.
There is also the Eighth Army, which was established in recent years. Its headquarters is located in Singapore, Malacca Province, and its troops are mainly deployed in various parts of Southeast Asia.
This group army is also the only overseas group army headquarters in the Chu Empire. Its forces are very dispersed, and because it needs to carry out landing operations and suppress indigenous people in various places, its force configuration is mainly amphibious and mountainous light troops.
No way, you can't count on how good the transportation conditions will be on overseas indigenous territories, nor how convenient supplies will be. Therefore, the strength and equipment level of the army are already very good in the eyes of the indigenous people. It's crazy, but in fact, within the Dachu Empire Army, they are basically at the level of light-armed troops!
It is worth noting that the various armies of the Dachu Empire do not actually have a strict concept of defense zones, and there is no saying that the military affairs of a certain province need to be under the jurisdiction of a certain group army.
The army group of the Dachu Empire was not a regional command organization, but a standard field command organization.
We talk about defense areas just because the field forces under each field group army are stationed in the above-mentioned areas, but it does not mean that the defense of these places falls under the jurisdiction of a certain group army.
To be precise, the local defense of each place falls under the jurisdiction of the provincial garrison headquarters.
The field forces of Class A or Class B divisions of each field group army were transferred at a moment's notice due to military needs, but the Class C garrison division under the provincial garrison headquarters was always there.
The headquarters locations of each group army and the locations where its troops are deployed will be constantly adjusted according to different situations.
Take the Second Army for example. In fact, at the beginning, the Army was deployed on the Xuanda-Dalian front line, but now... everyone has gone to the Ob River Basin to fight with the Russians. The headquarters has been moved west from Datong Road. Now They all ran to Tobo City.
Moreover, after several adjustments, the military strength has dropped from hundreds of thousands to the current level of 60,000.
In addition, it is worth noting that in addition to the eight major armies in the Great Chu Empire, there are also many military-level troops under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Academy, and there are quite a few...
Such as the 24th Army, a field force in the direction of India.
There is also the 23rd Army in the direction of Fuso, etc.
The army strength of the Chu Empire was divided into local garrison troops and field troops.
Local garrison forces are under the jurisdiction of the garrison headquarters, and field forces are under the jurisdiction of various group armies or corps, divisions and other institutions directly under the Military Council.
At the same time, the strength of each group army and corps is not fixed, but will be adjusted according to mission needs.
This is actually similar to the coastal defense fleets and combat fleets in various parts of the navy. The navy has set up coastal defense fleets in almost every sea area. However, these coastal defense fleets are mainly responsible for offshore patrol, escort and coastal defense in the area, so they are not only responsible for There are warships and shore forces at various naval bases, such as shore defense batteries.
The combat fleet is a pure mobile combat fleet, mainly composed of the four major fleets: the Northern Fleet, the Southern Ocean Fleet, the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet. They are mainly responsible for ocean operations. The combat modes are task forces, squadrons, etc.
The combat ships in these four fleets are also frequently exchanged. A battleship may be in the Northern Fleet this year, but it may go to serve in the Indian Ocean Fleet next year.
After Luo Zhixue briefly met with a group of military generals at the train station, he turned around and briefly spoke to the local civil officials. Then he led a group of civil and military officials out of the train station and boarded the royal carriage. .
The royal carriage, pulled by six white horses, advanced slowly under the leadership of the special riders of the royal guards.
Luo Zhixue was sitting on the carriage, quietly looking at the soldiers on both sides of the road and the people outside the soldiers. Occasionally, he would briefly wave to them and nod with a smile!
The people were very conscious and orderly, kneeling down and shouting long live the royal carriage as it passed by!
Don’t doubt it, the people are so conscious!
Because those who served to welcome the people were the family records of officials and local gentry representatives. Everyone had passed the strict review of the Internal Affairs Department of the Hanlin Academy, so that they were qualified to appear on both sides of the road.
As for ordinary people... they have nothing to do today.
