Chapter 343 Shixin was arrested?
The Spring Festival of the 14th year has finally arrived. This year's Hangzhou City has a strong atmosphere of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
In previous years, because of the Mongols, the ruling class, the masses did not dare to be too lively at all. Otherwise, they would be favored by the Mongolians and could not run away. Unmarried or married women, as long as they like them, they would not let them go.
So, in the past, the people hung a red lantern at the gate at most, which was regarded as the Spring Festival.
And this year, after driving away the Tatars, Zhang Shicheng's subordinates were disciplined and punished many large families who relied on their power to do evil and harm the people. Everyone can uphold justice. Therefore, this year has been particularly lively.
In addition to the big red lanterns of every family, the lion dancing on the street and the lanterns are different from the northern folk customs.
Zhang Yang has been hiding in the provincial government. He has a lot of things to do.
Since there is already a formal regime and has become the head of a province, officials at all levels in these places under their jurisdiction have to be appointed by him. Isn't it that the court doesn't want to send it? Is Zhang Yang willing to agree? This is his territory.
The county governors in various places are selected from the Hongwen Hall, and some are selected from the people of prestigious high schools in various places.
In addition to officials from all over the country, his provincial officials at all levels also have to be placed, so that they look like the style of a province.
The official system of the Yuan Dynasty, Xingzhongshu Province, one member of the prime minister of each province, from one grade; two members of Pingzhang, from one grade one grade; one member of Youcheng, one member of Zuocheng, two grades; two members of participating in political affairs, from the second grade, one member of Gansu and Lingbei provinces each reduced by one member; two members of Langzhong, from five grades; two members of Yuanwailang, from grade six grades; two members of Dushi, from seven grades; history of the history of the , Mongolia must be Chi, return to the history of the order, the general affairs, the seal of the seal, and the envoys, and there are poor staff in various provinces. Under the old system of political participation, there are provinces and subordinates, which will not be dismissed later. The prime minister is either placed or not, especially careful in choosing people, so it is often lacking.
Zhang Yang began to issue an appointment order. There is no prime minister, Pingzhang is not available for the time being, and Youcheng is not set up. Therefore, the biggest official position is Zuo Cheng, the province of the Yuan Dynasty, Zheng Erpin.
The two people who participate in political affairs are Shi Nai'an and Liu Bowen respectively. They are in charge of various political affairs. Shi Nai'an is biased towards military affairs, and Liu Bowen is partial to politics.
Lang Zhong are in charge of Li Shanchang and Luo Guanzhong respectively. Li Shanchang is in charge of agriculture and logistics, and Luo Guanzhong is in charge of intelligence collection, including military intelligence and people's conditions in various places.
Both of them are in charge of Shide and Shixin, who are still in charge of their own work. Shide supervises the manufacturing of the salt industry. Now it can be put on the surface. Shixin leads a hundred-person team to be in charge of the sales of the salt industry.
All other official positions are placed.
In addition to these, Zhang Yang also set up a Wubei Temple, with Jiao Yu as the commander, and was still at the base, responsible for the military equipment of the army.
There is also an official shipyard, which gave Zu Qing a four-grade official position, so that it would be more convenient for her to coordinate all aspects of relations.
And the army is still stationed in the current way, in Jiangbei, mainly Tang He's army and newly trained army. In Pingjiang, mainly defended by Shiyi, Hangzhou has become a new base camp, which is under the responsibility of his headquarters. The other battalions have been scattered to various places.
In this way, there is a certain dangerous surname, that is, there is no extra power as a reserve support force. Once there is a war in a certain place and a temporary transfer, there will be a delayed surname. However, I have reached an agreement with the court, and there will not be too many wars for the time being, and I often meet Chunxin. After the training force is completed, it is a new force. Zhang Yang wants to recruit another 50,000 troops from the south of the Yangtze River to meet his own needs.
"Master, something happened." After Zhang Yang put down the difficult brush and wrote down these appointments, Luo Guanzhong came in.
"Guanzhong, what's so flustered?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Lord, something happened to Shixin." Luo Guanzhong said.
Shixin? What can happen to him? Now the sale of salt has been approved by the imperial court, and his men are all carrying fire. Even if he encounters black, he will not suffer losses.
"Master, Shi Xin was arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang."
Zhu Yuanzhang? Zhang Yang's face darkened, "Why is it related to Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"Master, the Shixin brothers sold salt to Jiqing. They happened to be caught by Zhu Yuanzhang's men. Now, they are imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang." Luo Guanzhong said.
This Shixin, just let him die. Zhang Yang was very angry. When he sent him to open up the market in various places, he had already told him that he only occupied the market of the court and did not conflict with other rebels. He surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. Although it was only temporary, the other insurgents must have a problem with themselves, and it is really inappropriate for him to accumulate strength now. Conflict with the other party.
This Shixin must have known that Jiqing made a lot of money, so he went to Jiqing. Now, he has made a big basket for himself.
"What does Zhu Yuanzhang say?" Zhang Yang asked. Through the last incident, Zhang Yang knew that he must not look down on the Ming Taizu of later generations. This person, on the surface, is a decent gentleman, and behind his back, he also likes to use a trick.
"Master, Zhu Yuanzhang said that Shixin went to his land to sell private salt. Without his consent, he was going to be beheaded. However, for the sake of knowing the master, these things are negotiable. As long as the lord provides him with 5,000 catties of fine iron and adds a thousand of our Tianque, Shixin and others can be released. Come back." Luo Guanzhong said.
Luo Guanzhong also felt a headache. When did Zhu Yuanzhang learn to open his mouth? Five thousand catties of fine iron, one thousand pieces of Tianque, how much is the annual output of the base?
However, Shi Xin is the fourth brother of the lord, the fourth brother of the lord. He has made a lot of contributions. Can the lord save him from death?
Zhang Yang really wants to say that let him cut off Shixin's head. Shixin's head is not worth so much money, but he dares not. No matter what the righteousness is, his mother Cao will never let him go, and he has to cry in front of him all day long, thinking about his poor fourth son?
Zhang Yang also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang asked for so much in one bite, which was a bargaining chip for him.
However, it doesn't matter how much refined iron is, that is, the ironmaking furnace produces more furnaces, but Tianque can never be given to him.
What do you rely on to be the hero in this era? Isn't it just an advanced weapon? If you give Tianque to Zhu Yuanzhang, and if he finds out the secret of Tianque, will he still have a chance?
After all, in the official history, the last one to sit in the world is Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Lord, what should we do?" Luo Guanzhong asked.
Zhang Yang knew that there were so many rebels and so many regimes now. However, in the end, there can only be one regime in the world. Therefore, in addition to fighting against the Yuan Dynasty, there will also be an indispensable struggle with the ins. However, he did not expect that this day would come so soon.
His original intention was to unite all kinds of volunteers to fight the Yuan Dynasty together. After the Yuan Dynasty was eliminated, he could decide who would sit in the world.
However, it is necessary to settle down first. This nonsense is the idea of many rebels, because people are selfish.
Therefore, Zhang Yang must now choose to compromise or prepare to clash with his neighbor Zhu Yuanzhang in the west.
"What is the trend of the court now?" Zhang Yang asked.
In fact, in the past few days, most of the spies have sent several reports. Relying on carrier pigeons, Luo Guanzhong received the news earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang, but the whole world celebrated together, and the lord was so busy that he wanted to tell the lord later.
"Your Majesty, the situation in the capital is a little chaotic now. The crown prince and the emperor are trying to compete for the throne. The emperor is indecisive and unwilling to abolish the crown prince. The internal affairs of the capital is complicated. Outside the capital, it is said that there is a conflict between the expansion of Timur, who is loyal to the crown prince, and the troops loyal to the emperor, and the Tatar temporarily At that time, I can't take care of Jiangnan at all. Luo Guanzhong said.
So, Zhu Yuanzhang must also know the news, and he is also intentional? Zhang Yang thought. Zhu Yuanzhang has never been a good match. He chose this time to find some trouble for himself and wanted to see how he would take it? If I promise him, will I be bullied by this neighbor from time to time in the future?
However, Zhang Yang doesn't want to have too many conflicts with Zhu Yuanzhang. His current trip to Jiangnan and Jiangbei is still unstable and needs a good external conditions. It is not appropriate to use too much force.
Send Tang He to go first and see how it goes. After all, Tang He and Zhu Yuanzhang are young, so they should give some face.
"Let's write to Tang He, let him go to Jiqing, discuss with Zhu Yuanzhang, and explore his bottom line. In short, our bottom line is that fine iron will be given to him up to 2,000 catties for free. There is absolutely no way for Tianque. If he wants it, he can give him a few boxes of grenades." Zhang Yang said.
"Yes, Lord."
"Also, send more people to inquire about the trends in the celebration and be ready to rescue Shixin by force." Zhang Yang said.
"Yes, Lord."
Luo Guanzhong went out, and Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed, Zhu Yuanzhang? A fierce murderous atmosphere suddenly appeared in his eyes, trying to blackmail himself? Absolutely no way!
He found that his original idea was a little simple and naive. In this era, those who follow me will prosper, and those who rebel against me will die. There must be this kind of momentum to dominate the world. He has a powerful force, which is the right arm to deal with the Tatars of the Yuan Dynasty. However, if there are others who are not interesting, he doesn't care about using the other party's blood. To prove your strength, this is the law of survival in troubled times!
Mingzhu politics, which is only applicable to the peacetime of later generations. Now in this troubled world, there is a gun, the grass-headed king, Zhu Yuanzhang. If he is really stubborn, then he doesn't care about using his disappearance to prove his strength.
Butcher? Do it to your own people? As long as you sit in the world by yourself, don't you have to write all the history by yourself? With the increase of battles and the expansion of territory, the majesty in Zhang Yang's heart became more and more obvious. It is said that when the emperor is angry, he will ambush millions of corpses. If Zhang Yang is angry, I'm afraid it will also be a bloody storm.
