Zhu Yi stayed in Liaoping Mansion for three days.
During these three days, Zhu Yi also saw sweet potato fields all over the mountains and plains. Accompanied by the guardsmen, he carried bows and arrows and rode horses to hunt in the mountains and forests. With good luck, with the help of the local Korean entourage, Next, I caught a sea turtle.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise for Zhu Yi.
Of course, during the few days he spent in Liaoping Mansion, what impressed Zhu Yi the most was the appearance of the Jurchens busy in the farmland.
Four years ago, Zhu Yi saw the Korean Jurchens in North Korea. Although they were prisoners at that time, their eyes were full of unruly, like a wolf that was looking for opportunities and was born with a thirst for masters.
But the Jurchen men that Zhu Yi saw now had docility in their eyes, and they were also cautious when working. They no longer had the bloody spirit of the past.
Seriously, men should strengthen themselves and look at the mirror with yellow decals...
This also made Zhu Yi have some admiration for Shi Biao and Shi Heng. How cruel and ruthless methods were used to turn these man-eating wolves into docile sheep.
After Zhu Yi and Pu Ning'er said goodbye to Cao Jixiang in Liaoping City, they arrived at the seaport of Jinzhou Port, which would become Dalian, the largest city in Northeast China in the future.
Although this seaport is in Liaodong, it belongs directly to Shandong, is managed by the Shandong Maritime Affairs Office, and belongs to the Shandong Chief Envoy Department. It is named Jinzhou Port and Gaizhou Wei.
Not only that, Nanguan, Lushun, Shuangdao, Zhudao, Pi Island, Mayang Island, Changsheng Island and many other islands and many seaports under Jinzhou all belong to Shandong Maritime and Dengzhou Prefecture.
Of course, there is also a Xuanzhou Port at the intersection of Liaoping Prefecture and Pyongyang Prefecture. Tieshan Port belongs to Liaoping Prefecture, but it has not been officially put into use.
After Zhu Yi Pu Ning'er arrived in Dengzhou by ship, she did not return to the capital in a hurry. Instead, she went to Dengzhou Maritime Yamen to visit Yang Zheng.
At this time, Yang Zheng was not only the deputy maritime envoy, but also the commander of the Beiwa Dusi, in charge of the Shandong offshore navy.
Yang Zheng was a child who grew up by the sea. His ancestral home was Jimo. Although he was a civil servant, he was in charge of the Waihai Navy Yamen at this time.
He was elected in the third year of Zhengtong. In the twelfth year of Zhengtong, he was the governor of Laizhou. In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, he was the quartermaster of Laizhou Prefecture in preparation for the Japanese army to go north to aid. In the fourth year of Zhenghua, he became the deputy maritime envoy with an official rank of fourth rank and the deputy maritime envoy. Has the responsibility of managing coastal defense, consolidating land and sea officers and soldiers, and preparing food and pay.
Shandong has a very rich heritage. In addition, the imperial court has stabilized Liaoping Prefecture and North Korea, which has given Shandong coastal states great opportunities. Businessmen traveling to Liaoping and North Korea can harvest a lot of gold and silver, as well as that Quite valuable Changbai Mountain ginseng, Haidongzhu, tiger skin and other items. In the 12th year of Chenghua, the imperial court gave Geoje Island in southern Korea to Shandong Laizhou Prefecture, and the coastal defense was further expanded.
After Yang Zheng, deputy maritime envoy of Shandong, led the Shandong Navy to complete the Battle of Geoje Island, he was summoned by Zhu Jianshen at the beginning of the year.
During this summons, Yang Zheng left a deep impression on Zhu Jianshen, and he decided to reuse Yang Zheng.
It also made him determined to complete the upgrade of Shandong Maritime. After discussing with Chen Ying, he decided to split Shandong Navy into two.
Part of it was handed over to the Shandong Maritime Affairs Department, which was under the control of the Beiwa Dusi, and served as the outer sea navy. The Shandong station was Dengzhou, and the Korean station was Geoje Island, Heishan Island, Xiaoheishan Island, Tushan Island, and Busan.
The other part belongs to the Shandong Capital Command and Envoy Department, which is the Inland Sea Division. It is based in Laizhou and is in charge of the coastal defense of the inland sea.
Moreover, Zhu Jianshen placed Yang Zheng, a civil servant, as the commander of the Beiwa Capital Division, and asked him to lead a separation with the Shandong Capital Division.
The current Ming Dynasty army has troops stationed in nine important areas, the Korean Army, the Liaodong Army, the three major battalions of the capital, and the 10th Tuanlian Battalion are considered the first-line troops, while the Japanese Preparation Army in Shandong and the training army in Henan are the leaders of the second-line troops, and the other guard soldiers Even the regular second line.
Representatives of Shandong's Japanese troops were Dengzhou Camp, Jimo Camp, and Laizhou Camp.
There are also two Dusi in Shandong, one is the regular Dusi Commandery Division, which manages the garrison, and the other is the Shandong Beiwa Dusi, which was set up under the decree of Emperor Taizongwen Zhu Di. It directly manages the Beiwa Army and the Beiwa Army. Local officials of the Japanese army cannot be mobilized. They can only be mobilized by the Fifth Army Governor's Office after receiving the imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor.
Shandong is also a place with the most military affairs, and it is the only one in the Ming Dynasty that has two capital divisions.
Zhu Yi came here not only to learn about Buddhist scriptures but also to visit, and Yang Zheng was also very considerate. Not only did he accompany him throughout the whole process, but he also entertained her with delicious food and drinks.
Zhu Yi and Pu Ning'er stayed in Dengzhou for another three days, and they had a preliminary understanding of Shandong's offshore navy.
Because they have just separated, there are not many warships docked in the naval ports now, and most of them are older warships. This can also be seen from the side, the Ming Dynasty's demand for long-distance ships...
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen wore a dragon robe under Zhao Linlang's service, with a smile on his lips from time to time. Thinking about what happened last night, he still had some unfinished thoughts.
After putting on the dragon robe and washing briefly, he went to Fengtian Hall surrounded by Zhang Bao and other eunuchs.
Under the Golden Gate Bridge, officials were already standing.
At this time, the stars in the sky were still vaguely visible, and everyone was under the cover of night.
Your Majesty is diligent, but it is a hardship for all officials.
Those with lower official positions have to wait outside the Meridian Gate at three o'clock in the morning when the rooster crows every day. When the drum sounds, they have to queue up and organize themselves. At dawn at Mao Shi, which is five o'clock in the morning. At that time, the bell rang and the palace door opened wide so that the ministers could enter the palace.
During the period of the Supreme Emperor, morning court was often exempted so that the officials could spend the night. However, the current Emperor is really diligent and the number of morning court exemptions could be counted on one's fingers.
Many officials often wrote memorials to His Majesty the Emperor to save the country.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the flowers in Nanshan are blooming very beautifully. Whenever your Majesty goes to take a look, he always stays in the palace and capital, fearing that your Majesty will be bored."
"Your Majesty, when you govern a big country, if you cook small delicacies and spread the word to the world, you will be a ghost. You are too diligent. I feel sorry for you. Why don't you take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River and relax."
There is also a more straightforward memorial: "Your Majesty's dragon body is important, why don't we take a break for a few days and you can sleep in."
Of course, Zhu Jianshen never responded to this kind of memorial.
It's like boiling an eagle.
If the emperor regularly excuses himself from the morning court, the officials will be excited and say, "How can your majesty not be diligent? The people are still living in dire straits. How can you manage the country well if you can't even get out of bed?"
This is because the officials treat the emperor like a hawk. The more the emperor cannot get up, the more excited they become.
But if the emperor has a morning court, he will not avoid it, that is, the emperor treats all officials as eagles.
Since Zhu Jianshen officially came to the court at the age of five, he has never been exempted from the court due to his own reasons. After ten years, the officials can no longer bear it.
There are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. Putting aside festivals and holidays, you have to attend more than 350 morning court meetings. His Majesty the Emperor can sleep until five o'clock in the morning and get up because he is close, but the officials are in the early morning every day. Getting up at three or four o'clock is a severe test for the officials.
Especially in autumn and winter, the cold wind blowing outside and the warmth of your quilt begin to pull together to the extreme...
This is also a hardship for a group of migrant workers. When the monthly salary was paid, they all gritted their teeth. How can I work hard to get this little money? The world is so big and I want to see it. This kind of negative emotions will always Happens, but emotions are emotions, and officials also know that they are useless scholars. What can they do if they are not officials? If he resigns, his replacement will be immediately available.
This has also caused another phenomenon: many officials want to get opportunities to work abroad.
In the past, if this was not a local official position with real power, no one would want to be an official. However, due to the involution of His Majesty the Emperor, many officials are willing to be transferred to Nanjing even if they are transferred to Nanjing.
Money can't buy my leisure.
But life will always go on. As long as the morning court opens and the bell rings, you must come...
Officials gathered in groups of four or five, saying hello to each other in the dark night.
Xu Youzhen was always surrounded by Zhan Yang. The two of them talked in whispers for a long time. The other officials were also very sensible and did not come over...
Honglu Temple shouted loudly: "Lenin, come in."
At this time, officials began to line up under the Golden Gate Bridge and started clocking in for the day...
