Chapter 1027: The Messenger of Saibei
After the results of the Shuori Dynasty Meeting on the first day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign, the election and appointment of the new scholars in the spring of Chongzhen's fourth year was basically settled.
Those jinshi who were assigned to the Hanlin Academy because of their high ranking, or those who stayed in the Beijing division as officials, naturally handed over the canopy, the icing on the cake, and happily accepted the appointment of the ministry one by one.
Then the worship master who should worship the master, and the one who should engage in friendship will engage in friendship, enjoying the glory of the court for Tian Shelang and the twilight of the Tianzi Hall.
And those jinshi who were assigned to serve as officials in various prefectures and counties in the world because of their low ranking, received the official documents of the will and the appointment of the officials, and rushed to their own places of appointment within a time limit.
On the morning of the ninth day of the fifth month, Huang Zongxi, who had already received the will of the imperial court and received the appointment document of the ministry, and two senior brothers Chen Hongshou and Yan Qiheng, who were from the same school, bid farewell to their mentor Liu Zongzhou and left Beijing for Shaanxi to take up their posts.
After all, Liu Zongzhou was still not at ease with the son of this old man, so he deliberately chose a proper person who was old and respectful and familiar with public affairs from among the domestic servants he brought from Shaoxing to Beijing, and accompanied the young Huang Zongxi to Hancheng, Shaanxi to take up his post.
As for Chen Hongshou and Yan Qiheng, who were both born in the same Jinshi in the third list of Chongzhen's four years of spring, they are much older than Huang Zongxi, and the time when they entered Liu Zongzhou's sect was also many years earlier than Huang Zongxi.
Moreover, these two people were both in Chongzhen's three years after they were lifted people, and they participated in the examination as a lifter and won the Zhongjinshi, so they are much more mature and stable than Huang Zongxi in all aspects.
However, after the announcement of the imperial court's distribution will, these two people knew that they had to serve in the northwest frontier, and they both accepted the advice of their teacher Liu Zongzhou, and wrote letters to their hometown in Shaoxing, hiring a few Shaoxing masters, ready to be their helpers.
Speaking of which, for these disciples of Liu Zongzhou, Shangshu Cheng Jiming of the Ministry of Officials still gave a little bit of thin face, and did not arrange them to Gansu, Ningxia, Hezhong and even Yungui and other places, but arranged them all in northern Shaanxi.
Among them, Chen Hongshou, who was born in Zhuji County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of Ansai County.
Yan Qiheng, who was born in Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang, was appointed by the imperial court as the commander of Qingjian County.
In the original history, Chen Hongshou, who was a young man, began to be unlucky since he was selected and became a student, and he failed many times until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not pass the township examination in Zhejiang, let alone participate in the examination in Beijing.
But this life is different, in the autumn of Chongzhen's third year in the Zhejiang Township Examination, the thirty-two-year-old Shaoxing celebrity Chen Hongshou has been appreciated and promoted by Fan Jingwen, the governor of Zhejiang.
In the past few years, Chen Hongshou, who was in good spirits, went to Beijing to participate in the current science examination, and originally made full mental preparations for the first time in the examination, but he did not expect this time to be Chinese.
Although he was only a fellow jinshi of the third list, it completely changed Chen Hongshou's fate and changed his opinion of the current Chongzhen Emperor.
People say that the butt determines the head, which sounds absurd, but in reality it is a wise saying.
Because behind the butt deciding the head, in fact, interests determine the head, to put it a little higher, that is, social existence determines social consciousness.
These so-called township sages and celebrities who are well-known in Shilin or Zhejiang and other places in Jiangnan are not clear about their ability to do things for the time being, but their efforts to influence public opinion cannot be underestimated.
If you don't pull those who are still good and worthy of saving into the bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty and let them serve the court with their butts tilted to the sky, then they will keep making trouble for you outside this bureaucratic system.
This time, they were all sent to northern Shaanxi, and in a few years, it is estimated that they will no longer just sit and talk about saving the country.
At this point, Yan Qiheng is the same, this person is the same age as Chen Hongshou, but in the original history, the fate of the field is much better than Chen Hongshou, and he is Chongzhen's four-year jinshi, and he is also from the third list.
The results of this examination were also in line with his previous expectations.
Therefore, whether it is Yan Qiheng or Chen Hongshou, there is no kind of loss in Huang Zongxi's heart.
On the contrary, for being able to receive the county order and become a county parent official, in addition to excitement, their hearts are slightly worried, worried about whether they can manage the people of a county for the Son of Heaven.
What they don't know is that their worries are completely unnecessary.
Because there is not much population in northern Shaanxi today.
Especially after the repeated ravages of thieves and the repeated clean-up by officials and soldiers, those small counties in northern Shaanxi, such as Qingjian and Ansai, do not have many populations at all.
In Ansai County, in the spring of the fourth year of Chongzhen, it is good that the county can have a population of 1,500 households, but the actual population of men, women, and young people has accumulated in total, and at most it does not exceed 10,000 people.
And Qingjian County, which suffered more serious losses in the war before, is not to mention.
On the contrary, it was Hancheng County, where Huang Zongxi went to serve as the county commander, and it was much better in terms of location, population, commerce, culture and education.
In short, no matter what these people think, they are full of dissatisfaction and willingness, and by the middle of May of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the spring of Chongzhen's fourth year came to a successful end, and all the new scholars who were appointed abroad also left Beijing one after another to take up their posts.
As for the loss and entanglement in Huang Zongxi's heart, Emperor Chongzhen had no way of knowing, and he didn't care about it at all.
After the end of the Jianji Hall Shuo Sun Dynasty Meeting on the first day of the fifth month, his energy had already shifted to other things.
The procession of envoys from the Horqin Left Banner, carrying a number of letters from the lord of the Horqin Left Banner, Zaisambel, had quietly arrived in the city of Beijing.
There was a person who led the way in the team sent by Jaisambel to deliver the letter, and he could be regarded as a person who was relieved on both the side of Horqin and the Imperial Court.
This person is none other than Agrabari, Manzhu Xili's companion and attendant from childhood to adulthood.
At the beginning, Haskan and Agrabari were sent back to the territory of the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes, and successfully found and brought back the relatives of Yifei Ulan Tuya and Ning Concubine Suzhna, as well as their own relatives.
From then on, Haskan and Agrabari gained the trust of Lan Guifei, Yifei, and Ningfei, and also won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, the Lifan Yuan, and the Internal Affairs Office.
When Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind to try to win over and rebel against the Horqin left-wing Mongols, he instructed Lan Guifei and Manzhu Xili to send Agrabari back to the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribe and sent them back to Zhaisang's side to do things, so that Haskan and Agrabari acted as the leaders of your back and forth.
Emperor Chongzhen, who came from later generations, knew very well in his heart that in such an era of extremely backward means of communication, if there was no person who could be trusted by both sides to match, as a guide, whether it was himself or the banner owner of the Horqin Left Banner, Zaisangbel, he could not believe whether the envoy or caravan sent by the other party was real.
As for the vital letters that are passed from and fro in the name of both parties, the authenticity of which cannot be guaranteed.
Fortunately, those Horqin guards who grew up with Manzhu Xili since they were children and were deeply trusted by Hai Lanzhu and Manzhu Xili and others solved this problem perfectly.
Because these people are also deeply trusted by Hailanzhu and the father of Manzhu Xili, the owner of the Horqin Left Banner, Jaisangbel.
On the morning of the sixth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen, accompanied by the noble concubines Hailanzhu and Manzhu Xili, and accompanied by Wu Weiying, the Marquis of Gongshun and Jiang Yueguang and Dorzidarhan, the two deputy envoys of the Li Fan Yuan, and other foreign ministers, met with Agrabari and Gushan Beile Yierduqi of the Horqin Left Banner, one of the core figures of the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribe who came to the Ming Dynasty with Agrabar.
The entire Horqin Mongolia, in the alliance of Gelzhurgen, was adapted by Huang Taiji into the four banners of Horqin, the left and right.
Among them, the Alukorqin Mongolia, which borders the Mobei Mongolian tribes, has become the former banner of Horqin;
The Horqin Mongol tribe that settled in the area of Gelzhurgen became the Horqin Rear Banner;
The original left wing of Horqin, that is, the departments to which Jaisangbel belonged, became the left banner of Horqin, and the right wing of Horqin, that is, the departments to which Kongolbel belonged, became the right banner of Horqin.
After accepting Huang Taiji's orders in the Huimeng, the Horqin Mongol tribes, which had a relatively large number of horses, were also reorganized according to the establishment of the Jurchen Eight Banners.
Although the nature of the original extremely loose tribal alliance of the previous Horqin Mongols has not been fundamentally changed by such a reluctant reorganization, there have also been considerable changes in form.
The Jurchen Eight Banners system, what banner masters, Gushan, Meler, Jiala, Niulu and other official titles also began to be called in the Horqin Four Banners.
In fact, the so-called solid mountains and the like of the Jurchens came from Mongolia and meant ten thousand households.
Now this system, which originated in Mongolia, has returned to the Horqin Mongols in the name of the Jurchen Eight Banners.
And this time, Ilduqi, who came to Daming Jingshi to observe the situation on behalf of Zhaisang, was Gushan Baylor under the command of Beile Zaisang, the owner of the Horqin Left Banner.
And this so-called Baylor is Dorobelle, one level lower than Heshuo Bayle, and it is Huang Taiji who specially rewarded Ilduqi with the name of Ilduqi in order to divide the left wing of Korqin.
