Chapter 758 Changes in Liaodong

When Tang Haitai came to Liaodong, he was very reluctant in his heart. The conditions in Nanzhili were so good, and the life of luxury and money, why did he come to this dangerous Liaodong? However, he dared not disobey the request of his uncle Tang Shiji.

As Su Tiancheng's power became more and more prominent, Tang Haitai became more and more careful, for fear that Su Tiancheng would still remember him, if someone wanted to do something to him, he didn't even need to lift his fingers, and someone would come to clean him up soon.Later, when Tang Shiji entered the cabinet, Tang Haitai's arrogance slowly began to grow. With Tang Shiji under his cover, he didn't have much to worry about.

From the ambassador of Nanjing Hubu Jiupin, he slowly started to move forward. After leaving Hubu, he entered Shangyuan County, which is Gyeonggi County where the Nanjing Imperial City is located. Although he is only a master, it is not easy. Two years later, he became the magistrate of Shangyuan County, an official of the seventh grade. However, due to his average ability, he only thought about eating, drinking and having fun every day, and he didn't make any achievements. He once thought that he could go to Jiangning County to serve as an official. The county magistrate was reprimanded by Tang Shiji. Where is Jiangning County? It is a place that the court pays special attention to. Su Tiancheng's achievements in Jiangning County are unsurpassed. How could it be possible for Tang Haitai to be the county magistrate for such an important place.

After Tang Shiji became the second assistant of the cabinet, Tang Haitai's ambitions also swelled. The county magistrate of Shangyuan County, the seventh rank, obviously could not meet his requirements, so Tang Haitai kept writing letters to his uncle, and even directly proposed that he had better be Entering Yingtianfu Yamen, or going directly to the capital, Tang Haitai's request was satisfied, entered the capital, and became a seventh-rank imperial censor and a seventh-rank Beijing official.Compared with the seventh-rank officials in the local area, it is very different. Yushi has a good development prospect and can be promoted by leapfrogging, even if he is sent out, at least from the fifth-rank Zhizhou.

Tang Haitai's ability is indeed mediocre.After entering the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it was just a dawdling day. The prosperity of the capital was no less than that of Nanjing. Besides, Tang Haitai had a special status. Everyone knew that his uncle was a rich and powerful man, and everyone praised him. Thanks to Tang Haitai's lack of ability, coupled with Tang Shiji's strict discipline.Tang Haitai did not participate in the impeachment of Su Tiancheng by Shizhong and Yushi several times, although he wanted to participate very much. If Su Tiancheng could be brought down, Tang Haitai would be more at ease.

After Chen Xinjia entered Liaodong, Tang Shiji reminded Tang Haitai to get ready and go to Liaodong.Tang Haitai was 1 reluctant, but he did not dare to go against Tang Shiji's will.

Tang Shiji's idea is very good.Liaodong is a sensitive place. After Su Tiancheng's management, the situation there is very different from before. In the past, everyone in the imperial court was afraid of Liaodong.Anyone who is sent to Liaodong as an official means that you have offended someone, or there is a problem, and your future will definitely be ruined in Liaodong. It is impossible for the Ming army to compete with the Houjin Tartars.It can only be huddled in the city. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to make any meritorious deeds. If it is not done well, it will be punished by the court and even lose its life because of the late Jin Tartars entering the pass.

In today's Liaodong, the Ming army has the upper hand. After recapturing Dalinghe City, the morale of the Ming army is high. Huang Taiji also wrote several letters, begging to shake hands and make peace. All this indicates a fundamental change in the situation in Liaodong. It was the right time to go to Liaodong. If the Ming army launched an attack on the Houjin Tartars, they could still make great achievements.

With this in mind, Tang Shiji asked Tang Haitai to make preparations and go to Liaodong.

Chen Xinjia would definitely not refuse the personnel recommended by Tang Shiji.

This also shows that the matter of Tang Haitai's arrival in Liaodong is basically settled, and it is just a matter of waiting for the right time.

In September, the imperial edict from the Ministry of Officials came down, and Tang Haitai entered Liaodong and became a governor of the Liaodong governor's yamen.

The governor of the governor's yamen seems to be an insignificant role and does not participate in the core decision-making, but the actual situation is not like this. The governor is responsible for communication and uploading, which is equivalent to the role of the director of the office hundreds of years later. Governor The governor is responsible for the reception and the issuance of related orders. Except for the request made directly by the governor, the rest is conveyed by the governor. If the governor authorizes it, the governor is also responsible for supervising the implementation.

The contact surface of the governor is very extensive. It is possible to come into contact with officials from all over the world. The governor has a lot of guests, and eating and drinking are indispensable. The officials who come to Liaodong arrange accommodation in the official post. The governor After the arrangement, the governor can go to accompany and take the opportunity to build a relationship.

In the process of supervision, the governor has more room for activities. The governor can be authorized to supervise. Generally, the relationship with the governor is relatively close. Knowing the thoughts of the governor, he can well remind the following to follow the governor's instructions. Want to do things, do things well, this process is the process of making relationships.If you can let the lower level do a good job, they must be grateful to you.

Tang Haitai's status is special. As Tang Shiji's nephew, he will definitely be noticed by Chen Xinjia. Knowing that, Chen Xinjia will also be able to get more support from the cabinet and stabilize his position in Liaodong. Of course, Chen Xinjia will spare no effort to do such a thing well.

As soon as Tang Haitai arrived in Ningyuan, he was summoned by Chen Xinjia alone.

Tang Haitai was still aware of the rules in the officialdom. After meeting Chen Xinjia, he saluted in a proper manner and paid homage to Chen Xinjia in the name of a junior.

Chen Xinjia had a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty Tang has worked hard. Liaodong is the front line, always fighting against the Houjin Tartars. It took a lot of courage for Mr. Tang to come to Liaodong from the capital. I admire you very much."

"Don't dare, I was ordered to come to Liaodong to do things under the command of my lord, and I ask my lord to take care of me."

Chen Xinjia nodded slightly. He had also heard that Tang Haitai's reputation was not very good and he had no ability. Tang Shiji specially entrusted someone to bring a letter from the capital, asking him to take care of him and discipline him. Judging from Tang Haitai's current performance, it is still good. , at least know about etiquette.

It was impossible for Chen Xinjia to know about the feud between Tang Haitai and Su Tiancheng, nor did he notice it.

Now that Tang Haitai is aware of these etiquettes, Chen Xinjia doesn't need to make detours. Favors are favors. Now that a decision has been made, he should be more straightforward and simply shake off the favors, so that Tang Haitai also knows what's inside.

"Haitai, your uncle specifically said that it's good to praise your ability. I think that you have to work hard as the governor. In addition to ordinary matters, you also have to be responsible for supervising the implementation. There will be more time for supervision, so take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize yourself with the situation in Liaodong as soon as possible, especially the situation in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and Shanhaiguan City, so that you can know it well."

"Your official understands that you must do things according to your lord's orders. If you do something wrong, please ask your lord to teach you. I will be grateful."

Chen Xinjia was very happy when Tang Haitai said this. Of course he didn't know that these words were specially entrusted by Tang Shiji. According to Tang Haitai's character, he would never say these words, especially when he was in the capital, he was praised by everyone. , That kind of taste is very enjoyable. When you come to Liaodong, you need to be respectful and respectful in front of Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi. As for other people, Tang Haitai will not be so polite.

After exhorting a few words, Tang Haitai left.

After Tang Haitai left, Qian Qianyi came out from the next room.

"Master Qian thinks, what about this Tang Haitai?"

Of course Qian Qianyi knew Tang Haitai's identity. He was able to serve as the imperial envoy of the right capital and the governor of the capital, and it was also thanks to Tang Shiji's recommendation. Of course, he would not say anything bad about Tan Haitao. When he was young, he was aware of Tang Haitai's reputation, and vaguely knew that there were some conflicts between Tang Haitai and Su Tiancheng.

"My lord, Tang Haitai's performance is still good. It seems that Mr. Tang is always instructing me. I will work hard in the future, my lord. Please teach me a lot."

"Master Qian, please don't say that. It is also Mr. Qian's duty to teach Tang Haitai."

The two laughed at each other, even though they said they had their own thoughts.

Qian Qianyi's impression of Su Tiancheng was very bad. Even though he had witnessed the changes in Jiangning County and knew that Su Tiancheng wiped out the bandits and stabilized the situation in Liaodong, Su Tiancheng was not interested in Donglin Academy. Even Liu Yunqing, one of the four sons of Donglin, left Donglin Academy and joined Su Tiancheng's command. Qian Qianyi's most sensitive nerve. At the same time, Su Tiancheng disbanded Fushe forcibly. Qian Qianyi had a very good impression of Fushe. He had a good relationship with Zhang Pu. Seeing Donglin Academy and Fushe Together, they can decide the policy of the imperial court, but at this time, Su Tiancheng came out, making Donglin Academy and Fushe dispirited, Fushe even disbanded, of course he would not have a good impression of Su Tiancheng up.

After coming to Liaodong, Qian Qianyi knew very well what his responsibilities were. He came to Liaodong in a happy mood. Chen Xinjia was in charge of Liaodong, which showed that the imperial court rejected Su Tiancheng, even though Su Tiancheng was the governor of Jiliao. But it is no longer possible to decide the affairs of Liaodong. He and Chen Xinjia are the real masters of Liaodong. This is equivalent to defeating Su Tiancheng. Qian Qianyi must be happy.
