Chapter 81 Recruitment
The so-called Daning and Beizhen are the second major towns on the nine borders. In other words, the governor Zheng Xiaoming, who is in charge of the troops in these two places.
This official position has also been newly established in recent years... Although the status of a military general has been reduced, the status of the original general officer has also been reduced.
Originally, it was the highest official position in a town, but as civil officials gained power, civil officials became the highest official position. On the contrary, the generals and generals had to kneel down in front of civil officials and worship, saying that they were humble.
Moreover, since the pressure on the Nine Borders has increased over the years, the original method of being able to fight against powerful enemies by relying solely on the power of one town is not enough, so the position of governor was created and commanded the soldiers from two to three towns.
However, this position of governor has always been a civil servant. Zheng Xiaoming is now the first person to serve as the governor as a noble general!
There is no way, who made him a young man with shallow qualifications in the court thirty years ago? And now, he is already highly respected in the court!
Not to mention, Zheng Xiaoming still has the military achievements he made thirty years ago.
So now, even the civil servants cannot object to Zheng Xiaoming as the governor.
In order to liquidate the eunuchs, he was eager to drive Zheng Xiaoming out of the capital early.
After a month of complicated court games or two, Zheng Xiaoming was finally placed.
"Master! I don't think there is anything good to go to in Daning North Town. It's better to stay in the court and take charge of the overall situation!"
Xu Rui advised Zheng Xiaoming.
Now he had held Zheng Xiaoming's thigh and immediately made suggestions.
"This is obviously because someone in the court doesn't want the grandfather to stay, so he wants to drive the grandfather out. The grandfather must not be fooled!"
Zheng Xiaoming asked, "Who doesn't want me to stay in the capital?"
Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "The Southern Party naturally doesn't want to!"
Zheng Xiaoming nodded. They planned to liquidate the Communist Party, so naturally they were unwilling to let Zheng Xiaoming stay in the way.
"I'm afraid many eunuchs are unwilling to stay in Xiayang, and the rabbit dies and foxes are sad. When Xiayang comes back, he kills Li Hongyu. I'm afraid that those eunuchs have no good feelings for industry!" Xu Rui analyzed.
Zheng Xiaoming smiled and said, "Nothing is said, I didn't kill Li Hongyu!"
Xu Rui said, "Since Li Hongyu was not killed by you, you are the only one who killed Li Hongyu, it will be even more troublesome. I'm afraid the group of people who killed Li Hongyu may not want you to stay!"
Zheng Xiaoming nodded and said, "You said less, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't want me to stay, right?"
Except for the time he came back, Li Hongyu died and made the court uneasy. The situation in the court that the emperor had worked hard for several years collapsed suddenly.
If he likes Zheng Xiaoming, that would be a hell!
In addition, the current Jiubian important town has long been controlled by the civil servant group.
Now that the emperor asked Zheng Xiaoming to go to the North Town of Daning to be the governor of the country, I am afraid that he would also have the idea of using Zheng Xiaoming's power to seize power from civil servants?
Therefore, it can also be said that even the emperor is not willing to stay Zheng Xiaoming now.
But is anyone willing to stay Zheng Xiaoming now?
Of course, the noble generals in the capital must want Zheng Xiaoming to stay.
However, Zheng Xiaoming went to the border to be the governor, which was actually not good, and these people would not object. After all, it was to re-enlarge the power of the nobles and military generals.
In addition, there are some members of the eunuch party!
When Li Hong died, they were in panic all day long, fearing that they would be liquidated.
Some old friends came to join Zheng Xiaoming, such as Xu Rui. They even longed for Zheng Xiaoming to replace Li Hongyu's position, gathered a large group of members of the official party, and continued to fight against the Southern Party.
In fact, Xu Rui has now contacted a large group of middle and low-level officials and defected to him!
At this moment, everything depends on how Zheng Xiaoming makes the decision!
Xu Rui looked at Zheng Xiaoming with longing.
But Zheng Xiaoming asked, "The court has issued an order to let me go to the border, how can I not leave?"
This is really a difficult problem. Unless you want to rebel, you must not fail to abide by the imperial court's orders.
Or Zheng Xiaoming left with his officers as if he had been thirty years ago.
Of course there is another way that is not a solution, that is, it is to delay time due to illness...
But this method can cure the symptoms but not the root cause, so you can't be sick for a lifetime, right?
Moreover, if other forces are forced to stay in the capital like this, they will probably be extremely afraid of Zheng Xiaoming at this time.
Thinking of this, when Xu Rui felt helpless, he heard Zheng Xiaoming chuckling and said, "I still have to go to the border, but don't worry, I will save your people."
By the way, you have been an official for so many years and have enough qualifications. It is probably the same to be a minister of the Ministry of War!"
Xu Rui immediately showed joy: "How is this possible?"
Zheng Xiaoming smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I will have a good chat with the emperor before I leave the capital..."
This is also because the emperor does not like to use old ministers, and the emperor will be the same as the emperor.
It is normal for the younger generation to call a emperor. If you ask an old minister to call an elder, you call an emperor... Everyone is awkward!
Especially this elder has great influence and is the spokesperson of a powerful political force... Even when the emperor could not do anything, it would be even more awkward to meet.
That’s right, Zheng Xiaoming is now the spokesperson for the nobles and military generals in the capital.
Since he returned to the capital, he has solved Li Hongyu neatly... Anyway, most people think that Li Hongyu's death has something to do with him!
In short, this greatly increased his reputation, and the nobles and military generals regarded Zheng Xiaoming as the natural spokesperson. They have been oppressed over the years, so naturally they need a leading figure to lead everyone to compete for rights.
In addition, Xu Rui's official position was not high, but he was old and had a strong experience. He also brought him a group of eunuchs to strengthen his power, which immediately gave Zheng Xiaoming a huge political power.
At this time, if you want Zheng Xiaoming to leave Beijing, you can, but if you have the conditions!
More than half a month, when Zheng Xiaoming led his troops out of Beijing, Xu Rui had already taken the position of the Left Minister of the Ministry of War.
In addition, several other members of the eunuchs who defected to Zheng Xiaoming also controlled some key positions in the court.
Although these official positions are not the highest, they are all very important and are truly real positions of power.
In addition, with the great men of the capital, it would not be so easy for the Southern Party to deal with each other even after Zheng Xiaoming left the capital.
As for other members of the eunuch who have not defected to him, they will only deserve their luck!
After making proper arrangements for the affairs of the court, Zheng Xiaoming led a group of troops out of Beijing and went to the border.
This time the momentum is even more powerful!
