Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 879 Taking office
"I didn't expect someone to go to Nanjing in this way."

Zhenjiang Prefecture.

Danyang.

Liang Tingdong, who was in casual clothes, had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at the Pingwo Joint Branch not far away. Deep down in his heart, he actually felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Brother Wuta, if others hear what you said, it might cause dissatisfaction." Wu Aheng, who was standing aside, looked at Liang Tingdong and said with a smile.

"Under such circumstances, you are appointed as the governor of Yingtian. If Your Majesty did not trust you and rely on you, why would you ask me to take up such an important position?"

"how about you?"

Liang Tingdong smiled and said to Wu Aheng, "I have just taken office as the governor of Fengyang. The current situation in the Xuhuai area is even more dangerous than that in Zhejiang."

"I wonder how many people envy you for holding such an important position. Not to mention that after taking office, if you can help Lu Xiangsheng control the Tianxiong Army and the Emperor Mingzong Army to solve the problem of the corrupt Cao Army and ensure that the Caoyun General Administration will set up a branch office in the Xuhua area, this contribution will be no small thing."

After hearing this, Wu Ahheng couldn't laugh anymore.

Although Liang Tingdong found it easy to talk, the current situation in Xu Huai area cannot be solved by just talking. When he was in Danyang area, he heard a lot about the situation in Xu Huai area.

"Your Majesty asked us to leave the Joint Office for Suppressing Japanese Pirates, one to take up the post of Governor of Yingtian, and the other to take up the post of Governor of Fengyang. This is to ask us to maintain stability in the area so that the Tianxiong Army, the Emperor Mingzong Army, the Xiaoling Guard, the Nanjing Zhushangzhi Qinwei Army, the Xijishichang and other units can better eliminate the treacherous officials."

After a moment of silence, Wu Ah Heng sighed and said, "I'm afraid this mission will offend a lot of people, but even so, we must complete the mission, otherwise the situation in the southeast will become even more unstable."

"Yes."

Liang Tingdong said with emotion: "How many people were arrested in Zhejiang, including the governor, and many local officials were suspended. It was not until now that I understood why Governor Shao had that expression when he came to Zhenjiang."

“There’s still a long way to go.”

"Let's not talk about the Xuhuai area under your jurisdiction. Let's talk about the areas under my jurisdiction. There have been many rebellions because of Fang Zhenghua and his men's rectification of Caojiang."

"Yes, at present, the Xiaoling Guard and the Zhushangzhi Imperial Guards are responsible for suppressing the rebellion, but the local order, especially the inflated grain prices, must be solved. It is too difficult to solve this matter."

When they were transferred from Northern Zhili to the Joint Office for Suppressing Japanese Aggression, Liang Tingdong, Wu Aheng and others all thought that they would stay in the office for a long time.

After all, the suppression of the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang was not just a simple suppression of the Japanese pirates, it was also a thorough cleansing. Therefore, when the suppression of the Japanese pirates would end did not depend on when the Japanese pirates who harassed Zhejiang were destroyed, but on when the treacherous officials who wanted to stir up chaos in Zhejiang were eliminated one by one by the court.

It was precisely because of this that Liang Tingdong wanted to promote the establishment of a joint branch office to control the southern grain transport. After all, only in this way could a lot of pressure and burden be alleviated.

But the development of the situation was beyond Liang Tingdong's expectations.

Who would have thought that Lu Xiangsheng, who was supposed to go south, did not go south in the end, but instead stayed in Xu Huai area. What Lu Xiangsheng did in Xu Huai not only required the court to disband the grain transport army, but also to set up a grain transport general office. This change will have a far-reaching impact on the entire Ming Dynasty.

What Liang Tingdong had not expected was that the person who would replace Lu Xiangsheng to go south would be Shen Tingyang. In this case, it would be impossible for the Joint Office for Suppressing the Japanese to control the South Grand Canal.

“It is a little difficult.”

Wu Ahheng frowned and said, "But through the recent changes, haven't you guessed His Majesty's intention? The grain transport will set up a general office, and the southeast will implement salt reform. I'm afraid that these will all be directly under the central government in the future." "But if this happens, the local areas will inevitably become more turbulent."

Liang Tingdong sighed and said, "So a group of officials in the southeast were also dismissed and replaced during this turmoil. The responsibilities and expectations we shoulder may not be light."

"If you do things well, then everything will be fine. But if you mess up, you won't be able to make any progress in the officialdom in the future. I don't care about official positions, but if I leave the officialdom, what can I do?"

As time went by, the officials who were initially promoted by Zhu Youxiao all realized that the emperor had always been planning new policies, but he had not made it clear in the past, so many people ignored it.

But with some changes in the situation, even though the emperor still did not mention it, all the things he did showed that the new policy was being implemented at an accelerated pace.

For those whose hearts and blood have not yet cooled, they are excited and thrilled. If the accumulated evils and cancers of the Ming Dynasty can be eliminated bit by bit under the leadership of the emperor, then the Ming Dynasty will surely be able to sweep away the past decline and climb to the peak of the past again, or even exceed it! !

"So when I take up this post, I must guard against arrogance and impatience."

Wu Ahheng said with a resolute look in his eyes: "Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the southeast that he even takes such measures to solve some long-standing problems. This is a huge price to pay."

"The southeast must not be in chaos, and in order to achieve this, the Nanzhili and Xuhuai areas are crucial. This is why the emperor asked us to take up the post."

"This burden is indeed not easy to carry, but if we don't take it, who should take it? The pressure the emperor is facing right now is no less than what we are facing."

Yes.

Liang Tingdong felt emotional. Let alone other things, just look at the many people who have been arrested, especially in Zhejiang, where so many corrupt officials have been arrested. I'm afraid that the central government has never been at peace.

Liang Tingdong knew clearly what kind of people some of the officials in the central government were. The reason why the emperor spared their lives was that he wanted to follow them, find out the people behind them, and then uproot them.

The Qi Party headed by Qi Shijiao.

The Zhejiang Party headed by Sun Ruyou.

Isn’t that what it is?

"Just let it go."

Thinking of this, Liang Tingdong raised his hand and saluted Wu Aheng, "Brother, you are going to Fengyang to take up your post. Take care."

"Brother, take care of yourself too."

Wu Ahheng raised his hand in return.

After saying this, the two of them turned around in tacit understanding and looked at one place. There were still many people coming in and out of the headquarters of the Joint Office for Suppressing Japanese Aggression.

The Joint Office for Combating Japanese Odds did not undergo much change due to their departure, and the people there still had various things to do.

It was precisely because of this scene that Liang Tingdong and Wu Aheng were inspired to fight. Since they were leaving the Pingwo Joint Branch Office and going to Yingtian and Fengyang to take up posts, they had to do better than they did in the Pingwo Joint Branch Office! !

To be able to become a provincial governor is the dream of many officials. Now that they have reached this level, they must implement all their previous ideas in their respective posts. Otherwise, what is the point of being an official?
