Chapter 133 Why Pretend to Slap Your Face in Face
The words are divided into two parts.

When the capital was entangled in the case of "King Xiang and other vassal kings were killed, whether it was considered as an infiltrated assassination by bandits, or a loss of land and vassal vassal".

On the Huguang battlefield, Shen Shuren was already busy with his own affairs, frantically taking over and expanding the territory, and formally exercising his power as the Huguang soldier and the imperial censor of the capital.

He knew that in the matter of putting down the chaos in Xiangyang and avenging King Xiang, no matter what, he himself was absolutely responsible.

Even if there is a crime, it is the fault of Yang Sichang and others.

Shen Shuren himself must have the possibility of being further rewarded, and there is no need to worry about his personal future at all.After all, when he came to Xiangyang to quell the chaos, the control of Xiangyang had not been handed over to him yet.The other Huguang areas were not originally under his jurisdiction, and the situation was the same.

To put it bluntly, the role played by Shen Shuren is like that of Sima Yi who in history just caught up with Meng Da to respond to Zhuge Liang's rebellion after he was restored to military power by Cao Rui.

At that time, Sima Yi had no obligation to "put down the rebellion against Meng Da immediately".From Wancheng to Mengda in eight days and [-] miles, he arrived at Shangyong in seconds. Of course, it is a great achievement, and it is not Sima Yi's fault that he can't lose in seconds.

In the last few days of late July, Shen Shuren took advantage of the residual prestige after Xiangyang was destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry troops, and quickly realized the control of all aspects of the situation in Xiangyang——

Speaking of which, he has to thank Zhang Xianzhong for clearing away the obstacles for him to gain power in the local area.Because we all know that after Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry entered the city, they burned and killed for more than an hour, not only killing the two vassal kings, but also killing many ministers.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records that "Yunxiangdao Zhang Kejian, Tuiguan Kuang Yueguang" and other important officials in Hubei were killed when King Xiang was killed. Certainly not less kills.

Zhang Xianzhong vacated at least two Daotai-level and three to five prefect-level official positions for the surrounding areas of Xiangyang.After all, Xiangyang was originally where Yang Sichang lived, and there must have been many senior civil servants.

It will take several months to complete the vacancy statistics of these personnel, and Chongzhen is still busy dealing with Yang Sichang's characterization.

Even in peaceful times, there is a three-month time limit for the handover of officials, let alone wartime when there are thousands of things.Therefore, throughout the autumn of Chongzhen 14th, it was impossible for the imperial court to discuss how to replace these officials. It is estimated that they will discuss it after winter, but counting the term of office, they have to wait until the spring of Chongzhen 15th to take office.

During the half-year gap, the powers of these killed officials could only be exercised by relying on Yang Sichang's temporary instructions to find some people to work part-time.

It's just that Shen Shuren's favor of "saving Yang Sichang" is there, Yang Sichang has the final say, and Shen Shuren has the final say.

Shen Shuren would not be polite to Yang Sichang either. After arresting Ainengqi and destroying Zhang Xianzhong's surprise attack team, he immediately went to Nanyang to pay a visit in private.

After this incident, the relationship between the two became more and more inclined.Yang Sichang was already dying, and he had been dead for half a year at this time in history, but now Shen Shuren saved his life, and he was seriously ill.

Shen Shuren also gave him a lot of face, and the conditions he put forward were all out of selfishness on the surface, in order to restore the ruling order around Xiangyang as soon as possible.While proposing to let his subordinates temporarily take charge of government affairs in Xiangyang and other places, he proposed a bunch of candidates for promotion.

"Elder Ge, Xiangyang, Yunyang and other places can no longer be chaotic. For officials who are vacant, I have thought of a few reliable people here. I also ask Elder Ge to help mediate, and I will be able to appoint them in the next year.

Chen Xinjia and Chen Shangshu also have a certain right to speak about the appointment of local officials in the war zone, so we can only count on you to greet Chen Shangshu. "

With that said, Shen Shuren reported a few names.

He hoped that at the beginning of Chongzhen's 15th year, Fang Yizhi, his good friend in the same year, and Ge Shizhen, who was the top two in the same year, would serve as the prefects of Xiangyang and Wuchang respectively.

Fang Yizhi has family power to help him make meritorious service, and Shen Shuren also helped him before he got along with him, so now he has become the magistrate of Anqing Mansion.

The rank and status of Anqing Mansion is not low. After all, the place name "Anhui" in later generations comes from Anqing Mansion and Huizhou Mansion.Fang Yizhi was a co-prefect who was promoted to deputy in Anqing Mansion at the beginning of this year. After one year of service, he performed well and was promoted to magistrate, which was normal in the last years of Chongzhen.

Ge Shizhen's family background is not prominent, but he was the second place in Chongzhen's 13-year list in history. Now because of Shen Shuren's butterfly effect, all the first-class trio of that year have been replaced by traitors and surrenders of later generations, and Ge Shizhen has been squeezed to the general list. Biography of No.4.

As a passer-by, after the palace examination, he is also qualified to serve as a gilded scholar, and his promotion speed will be much faster than those who are directly released to other places in the same year.Therefore, it made sense for Shen Shuren to use him as the magistrate and use the same year as his confidant.

As for the other friends of the same age that Shen Shuren made at the beginning, either they lacked credit or qualifications, and it is impossible to operate to the prefect level, but it is no problem to be a co-prefect or a general judge.

Among these people, many lack connections and are still local magistrates. Shen Shuren is willing to help and support them in the friendship of the same year. They will naturally appreciate Shen Shuren's kindness, and their loyalty and control will be absolutely guaranteed at that time.

Of course, in order to save enough face for Yang Sichang, Shen Shuren did not say "Which person I want to be assigned to which position" from the beginning to the end. He just introduced the list and resume, and said the level of the vacancy he wanted to fill.

As for who is appointed as an official in the same level, it all depends on the suggestion of Mr. Yang Ge!
In other words, Yang Sichang could decide whether Fang Yizhi should be the magistrate of Xiangyang, Wuchang, or even Hanyang.Shen Shuren only needs these few people to be the magistrates, who knows which prefecture, Shen Shuren fully respects him.

Fortunately, Yang Sichang didn't think it was too much, he just looked at the list of Shen Shuren fairly, and said in a businesslike manner: "This Ge Shizhen is after all a passer-by, and he has been with the nobles, so it is understandable to be promoted faster.

Fang Yizhi is just like you, only the last few in the top two, but you have so much credit for him, what does he have?If you want to be the magistrate of Xiangyang or Wuchang, you can only count on making some contributions in the second half of the year——

Of the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo, three of them have now been destroyed.Ma Shouying, the most western and strongest, took refuge in Li Zicheng.Lin Chengcheng, who is also weaker in the east, is still entrenched in the mountainous area between Huangzhou and An and Lu.

If in the second half of the year, Lin Chengcheng can be completely dealt with, and Fang Yizhi can make some contributions during the period, your appointment can be fulfilled.Also, don't you want to support Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong? If you can give them some credit in the process of dealing with Lin Cheng, these appointments can be realized. "

Shen Shuren's goal was achieved, so he respectfully thanked him:

"Since that's the case, the students will make arrangements. This year's series of battles, it's time to rest. Zhang Xianzhong was wiped out by us a few sneak attacks. In addition, Mr. Ge, the 'ten-sided net' deployed by you, the part against Zhang Xianzhong Not breached. He should be powerless to launch another large-scale raid.

I think that in the second half of this year, the military should be able to breathe a little easier.Let's step up efforts to restore people's livelihood in Huguang, plant corn and potatoes widely, promote fast-growing chicken, fish, and pig breeds, and try our best to rely on lijin business tax to solve the cost of raising soldiers to ease the burden on farmers.

Then the land of the vassal kings and dignitaries who were attacked and killed by Zhang Xianzhong will be rented out to poor peasants for farming. I believe that the hearts of the people in Xiangyang, Wuchang and other places will also be restored quickly. "

It is now the end of July and the beginning of August, and when Shen Shuren clears up the situation, there will definitely be no food to grow this year.At most, a little bit closer to the north, you can plant some winter wheat, and in addition, you can plant some vegetables with a short growth period to barely support it.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the disasters and harvests were mainly severe in the north, and the two lakes were barely self-sufficient.This time Zhang Xianzhong killed many feudal lords and dignitaries, but also freed up some unclaimed land. After reducing the rent of the poor peasants, the situation should be much better.

The area of ​​the royal farms occupied by the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty is very exaggerated. For example, King Fu, who was killed by Li Zicheng in Luoyang before, was rewarded by Emperor Wanli with 400 hectares of land, or [-] million mu, when he became a vassal in the last year of Wanli.

Basically, half of the fertile land in the Luoyang Basin was occupied. Later, in the years of Tianqi and Chongzhen, King Fu had further greedy for money, amassing and annexing land. It is really difficult to count how many lands there were before he was finally killed.But it is probably not wrong to say that he occupies more than half of the fields in the Luoyang Basin.

The land of other vassal kings is not as exaggerated as King Fu, but there are still thousands of hectares.The group of people killed by Zhang Xianzhong this time created at least millions of acres of unclaimed land, which really reduced the burden of Shen Shuren's rule.

One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military.

Shen Shuren has fought for so long this year, and has been busy for the military for four whole months. Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, it is time for him to take a break and deal with internal affairs and farming.

……

After negotiating with Yang Sichang's important officials and important powers, it is time for Shen Shuren to leave Nanyang again and officially return to his own territory to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Xiangyang Mansion has been taken over, but there are still sites such as Wuchang Mansion and Hanyang Mansion that should belong to him, but he has not been free so far, and he has never been there once.

However, on the morning when he was about to set off and return south, Shen Shuren's subordinates were still packing their bags for the last time. Suddenly, a huge army came from outside the city. Let's camp outside the city.

Shen Shuren and his confidant guard officers were also unavoidably curious. When they went to the top of the city to look around, it turned out that it was Zuo Liangyu's banner. In the case of the murder of King Fu and the fall of Luoyang, the emperor's opinion on how to deal with it was finally implemented.

Zuo Liangyu, who was punished to lose his title of general to suppress bandits and ordered to move the town to Nanyang, did not dare to openly rebel in the end. He chose to accept this, and abandoned the population in Wuchang and Hanyang, as well as the strength of the local guards.He only took his direct line troops and all movable property that could be transferred, and went north to Nanyang, and was responsible for blocking Li Zicheng from going south.

Enemies are naturally extremely jealous when they meet each other.At any rate, Shen Shuren also knew that the son of a daughter would not sit down, so he would not intentionally provoke Zuo Liangyu face to face.

Otherwise, if Zuo Liangyu's mood is unstable, and he tries to become a traitor and wants to take revenge violently, Shen Shuren will die at a loss.The possibility of such a person from a prostitute background being impulsive and reckless is much higher than that of a gentleman from a scholarly background like Shen Shuren.

Now that the framing is successful, it's good to make a fortune in silence, why bother to pretend to be forceful and provocative in front of the villain.

At most, he would go back and deal with Li Xiangjun properly, which would be a perfect end to the matter of framing Zuo Liangyu.

Change the map chapter, there will be some farming and daily life later, please be patient.

It is also impossible to fight all the time.My rhythm is to eliminate one wave a year, and then need to digest and absorb.
