The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 214 Does My Nephew Want A Ghostwriter?

Based on his understanding of Xu Guan, if he tried to evade, it would make the boss disgusted.

Xie Shen said rather guiltyly: "It's not that Wansheng is unwilling to visit the boss, it's because the exams are coming up a few days ago, and Wansheng has no time to be distracted. It's about career, Wansheng doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest."

Fortunately, there is a universal reason for the scientific examination, otherwise Xie Shen really doesn't know how to answer.Does he want to tell Xu Guan, I don't have the slightest idea about your daughter, so please stop pestering me?

Xu Guan nodded and said: "A virtuous student should really focus more on his career, but he also needs to walk around in his spare time." Xu Guan took a sip of tea and said lightly: "This time the scientific examination virtuous students take the exam. How is it?"

Xie Shen blushed and said, "Wansheng was lucky enough to get a first name."

But Xu Guan shook his head and sighed: "Xiansheng, you are too modest. If it was a fluke once or twice, but you have won the first place in the four examinations of the county, the government, the hospital, and the department. It is indeed due to your strength. .”

Xie Shen had no choice but to reply embarrassingly: "Your Majesty is absurd. Wan Sheng really can't bear it."

The two chatted for a few more words, but they never got to the point.

Although Xie Shen was anxious, he couldn't just say that Wan Sheng wasn't interested in the boss' daughter, could he?
But Xu Guan waved his hand and said: "Since you are here, my nephew might as well stay in Songjiang Mansion for a while longer."

Xie Shen was suffering in his heart, but he couldn't express his suffering, it was really frustrating.

"My lord is kindly inviting me, Wan Sheng'an dare not follow." After a pause, Xie Shen continued: "Wan Sheng saw a few soldiers outside the gate of the mansion, but are they generals of your lord's family?"

Xu Guan shook his head lightly and said: "No, no. They are military households of Jinshanwei, and they were seconded by the prefect of Songjiang to guard the old man Zhouquan."

Xie Shen suddenly realized when he heard the words.No wonder those military households were very domineering. It turned out that they belonged to Jinshanwei, so it is not difficult to understand.

The coastal guards of Daming were set up mainly to defend against Japanese pirates, especially in the southeast coast.

Many guards will build cities independently, not attached to states and counties.Most of these military households will farm independently, and they will be separated from the usual sense of state and county, which can be said to be the same as the river.

The purpose of this is to maintain the independence of the guards. After all, civil servants in the Ming Dynasty suppressed military officials a lot. It is not unusual for the general to see the censor kneeling.

If the guards were to be stationed in the prefectures and counties again, then the significance of their barriers would really be gone.

However, there are also certain problems in the independent construction of the Weisuo. Because it is ruled by a military officer, the management is relatively chaotic or tends to be the rule of Laozhuang.

However, this will not interfere with the normal state and county civil affairs, and even the land has not been divided from the jurisdiction of the state and county, but reclaimed by the military households themselves.

To put it simply, the Weisuo is equivalent to an independent county, except that the civilian households under its jurisdiction are all military households and their families.

Let's say that Jinshanwei is only sixty miles away from Huating County, and it is next to the tidal flat.

The prefect of Songjiang had no right to inquire about Jinshanwei's specific defense matters, but it would not be a problem if he seconded a few soldiers from his thousands of households to guard the censor.

The actual commander of each guard is Qianhu, but in addition to the guard, there is also an inspection department.

In a general sense, the guards played the role of sentries, while the inspection department was set up for regional defense.

In other words, the authority of the inspection department is greater than that of the guard.

However, according to Xu Guan's words, the prefect of Songjiang should have directly approached Jin Shanwei, instead of going through the relationship with the inspection department.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, Longshan Station and Guanhaiwei Station in Ningbo Prefecture, Linshanwei Station and Sanjiang Station in Shaoxing Prefecture were all hardest hit by Japanese pirates.Of course, Jinshanwei in Songjiang Prefecture and Zhenhaiwei in Suzhou Prefecture are also under great defensive pressure.

In his previous life, Xie Shen often sighed when he studied the dilemma of Daming's southeast coast defense. In his opinion, the reason why Daming's southeast coast defense line is full of holes is that the defense area in charge of each guard is limited, and the inspection department can't act as a general. effect.

Therefore, the governor of Zhejiang Province was later established to make up for this regret.

It's a pity that it is also the use of literature to lead the military, and laymen command experts. Although it can ensure the consistency of the deployment policy, it is still not very timely in terms of the response speed of the sentry.

In the final analysis, it is because the status of military generals is too low, it is difficult to stand up to civil officials.

If the status of the commander-in-chief can be raised to the same level as that of the governor and governor, perhaps this dilemma will not need to wait until the Qi family army breaks through.
"Chen Qianhu of Jinshanwei has a bold personality, and this old man also admires him very much. If there is a chance, I can take my nephew to have a talk with Chen Qianhu."

This still surprised Xie Shen, Xu Guan, the dignified servant of the Ministry of Industry, actually had friendship with a little Jinshanwei Qianhu?
"A few days ago, a small group of Japanese pirates plundered from Yangshan Island to the coast of Jinshanwei. Chen Qianhu led his soldiers to kill the enemy bravely and beheaded more than ten levels. The old man happened to see such a feat and was planning to write a memorial to report the victory to the court." ( Note 1)

Xu Guan didn't notice Xie Shen's doubts, and continued.

"Oh? A few days ago, there were pirates raiding the coast of Songjiang Mansion?"

Xie Shen was shocked.

Although he had also heard Japanese pirates harassing him when he was in Yuyao, but in the end it was confirmed that it was the thieves who took advantage of the Japanese pirates' power to commit the crime, and it was their own people who robbed their own people!
Seeing how solemn Xu Guan said, the person who came to Songjiang Mansion to rob the people this time should be a real wanderer.

In the Hongzhi Dynasty, when Japanese pirates were not rampant, beheading more than ten ranks was already a great military exploit.

The biggest reason why Chen Qianhu didn't personally write memorials to ask for credit from the court may be that his education level is not high and he has no idea.

You must know that the memorial to the victory is to be submitted to the emperor's royal reading, so the language should not be too vulgar or too unsightly.The same content written by different people has completely different effects.

Xu Shilang is a dignified official of the imperial court, so his writing skills are naturally profound.And if you search the entire Jinshan Guard, you may not be able to find a few literate sergeants. If Chen Qianhu doesn't go to Xu Guan to write for him, who else can he go to?
Xu Guan stroked his beard and said quietly: "It just so happens that the old man hasn't written the memorial to the victory, is my nephew interested in writing it?"

Xie Shen shook his head again and again, "This is a major matter for the military, Wansheng dare not comment on it."

Was Xu Guan joking with him?

Xie Shen is just a small talent, writing a memorandum of victory in front of the servant of the first dynasty?Isn't that courting death?
If he was asked to recite a few poems, Xie Shen might think about it.Writing memorials?just forget it!

Although he also consulted many memorials in his previous life when he ruled the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is one thing to read it but another thing to write it.

Whether it's the original Xie Shen or the current one, the skill of Chen Shushu is still in an undeveloped state.

I know what's going on in my family, Xie Shen still doesn't go to the class to get an axe.

Note 1: In the Ming Dynasty, Yangshan Island was now Xiaoyangshan and Dayangshan Islands.
