The people did not know the military and political issues of the government, but were only talking about it through various rumors and rumors. However, a war of more than 100,000 people in Dongting Hunan could not be concealed, and rumors were heard in central Huguang.
At this time, Yang Sihai, the imperial envoy sent from Yangzhou to inspect the Huguang commander, came to Yuezhou, which made Yuezhou's officialdom even more worried.
There was a saying in the Shilin of Yuezhou that the traitor may be in the Yangtze River, and the danger of important towns along the Yangtze River lies under his nose; now a province has to patrol other places and instead come to Yuezhou, the officials must think more.
Yang Sihai, an inspector who had just arrived in Huguang, was named Lin and the name Sihai (referring to the meaning of being close friends in the sea, as if they were close friends in the world), a native of Southern Zhili, a Jinshi of the Jiachen Certificate in the 22nd year of Yongle.
The number of Jinshi scholars in the Ming Dynasty from Hongwu to Yongle was very small. Compared with a great empire with a population of about 200 million, the talents were far from enough. As long as there was nothing unexpected happening in the early Jinshi, they had a bright future.
Sure enough, the four seas were first taught the capital, and now there is the opportunity to inspect Huguang a few years later.
The Jinshi was sent to the Hanlin Academy to edit important classics or to be a local inspector, which was a precursor to the rise of the world. For example, Yang Shiqi participated in the revision of the "Yongle Encyclopedia" without even being a scholar. It was obvious to see Yang Shiqi's current position. The revision of official classics means authority, knowledge, knowledge, and prestige. As an imperial envoy, the local inspection, experience, and qualifications are also a kind of investigation, experience, and qualifications. As long as you can make insightful memorials, you will not be far from the great responsibilities. For example, Yu Qian had inspected Nanzhili before he became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Yang Sihai is certainly clear about China's relations. If he had not been appreciated by Yang Rong in the capital and later recommended by Yang Rong to the emperor, would he have been to inspect the Huguang area with his current age and qualifications?
Therefore, he attached great importance to this trip and regarded it as a key to his career.
In addition, he and Zhang Ning are classmates whom he met...
Zhang Ning has been in the imperial examination for many years and has been an official for several years. It is said that he has met many people in Shilin, and his circle is so big. This time he is an acquaintance again.
But I'm afraid that familiarity will not make any difference.
When he was taking the provincial examination at the Nanzhili Gongyuan, Zhang Ning still remembers the contempt and humiliation of Yang Sihai that I did not compare with the short man.
This matter was resolved later when everyone sat together and drank. Sihai did not intend to hold a grudge against such a small matter, but this matter has never disappeared from Sihai's memory. There is a reason.
Sihai was born in a poor family and could not afford the expense of studying, so he needed help from others, so he had been too many times since childhood and understood the love and warmth of the world. However, most of the people in the world are poor, and he didn't know that he was the key. The person in Sihai is extremely talented, intelligent, and his arrogance is too contrasted with his original reality, which made him feel very sensitive and very self-esteem.
In his early twenties, he passed the three levels of the provincial examination, the imperial examination and the palace examination, which is not something that ordinary people can do. If the people say that, it depends entirely on the green smoke on the ancestral tombs, and you will know the talent and hard work of the world.
Moreover, the officialdom of the Ming Shilin was also very superstitious about appearance. The short Sihai was originally between self-esteem and inferiority complex, so Zhang Ning, who ridiculed him in public, did not leave any good impression on him.
In fact, the world is very calm. A dilapidated inn she lived in during the provincial examination actually leaked. He took a basin to collect water and could still fall asleep peacefully before the big exam amid the dripping noise.
As an imperial elite, self-cultivation has been achieved...
But human hearts cannot be completely changed by moral cultivation. Now, under the knowledge of Zhang Ning's background and achievements, Yang Sihai only wants Zhang Ping'an, a man who has no place to die.
It is obviously a ridiculous thing to rely on others' sentiments and broad minds to do whatever they want.
……
When the officials from Yuezhou were accompanying the Sihai, they all bent over when they approached, for fear that the imperial envoy who was one head shorter than ordinary people would raise his head and talk to him.
Everyone understands that the envoys in the capital can't afford to offend them.
After coming to Yuezhou, Yang Yucheng was strange in his behavior. He did not ask about military, political and political affairs, and did not even ask about the local officials to defend the safety of Yuezhou. However, he asked the accompanying officials to change into casual clothes and accompany them to talk to the people in various places in the city and rural areas.
It would be fine if this was peaceful. It would be understandable to understand the people's feelings, but obviously the war is coming, and I still have the heart to manage the people's lives. Is it good to live?
Sihai walked around the city and the city, and met many people coming out of the city on the official road.
Those people were dragging their children and girls, and they were pulled by big and small carts with cows and mules.
He asked people to inquire that most of the people in the city moved to the countryside in advance to avoid the war.
At this time, there is no difference between household registration in urban and rural areas. As long as the people in the city have wealth, they mostly have land in the countryside. In addition to those who are really poor and bankrupt, there are also officials from other places. Who doesn’t want to buy a few acres of land to have a root?
Ants will move to high places that cannot be flooded before the storm, and people are similar. This natural phenomenon is more intuitive than the tortuous truths in official documents.
The war may have really spread to the north, not the Changsha Mansion that some people sitting in the yamen talk about.
And the people's feet have already suggested the outcome of the war.
Whenever there is war, I don’t always go from the city to the countryside.
If people encounter refugees and livelihoods in the mountains, sometimes the gentry and wealthy families will run from the village to the city because the village will be robbed and there are high walls in the city. People will go back and forth to the village, which means that the people have no confidence in the defense of the city, and Yuezhou will be in danger.
The refugees on the official road were cautious about the inquiries of strangers asking questions, and most of them were vague, but there were still more enthusiastic and reckless people who shouted: Rich people are running towards Jiangbei!It is certainly much more stable than here across the river.We can’t escape, so we can only pray to the Bodhisattva.
The inquirer asked again: Are there defenses on the river? Don’t let the river cross?
After hearing this, the man replied: Your accent is from another place, and I don’t understand the truth.You listen to us here, and then cross the river and listen to the people over there. They are all in Huguang territory and their accents are completely different. Why?There are no bridges on the river, and there are few exchanges. Most people buy some industries. People from Jiangbei are located in Jiangbei and Jiangnan are located in the south. Ordinary families are neither land nor proletariat in Jiangbei. Can they leave their families and cross the river and go to escape? How can life be better?If you really have money, it’s different. Where can you have no friends?The industry is now bought and becomes Ah!
Sihai left the official road, so he went to several ferry crossings in Dajiang to inspect.
If I saw that there were private boats or even building boats on the ferry, the people who owned the building boats were of course either rich or noble...
Don’t mention the situation of hearing, sometimes it’s not fake.
This time, Yang Sihai directly asked the accompanying officials to report their names. One reason is that people with no background cannot see the rich people; the other reason is that wealthy people are not afraid of officials, and they are even willing to make some talks. Who has a big family business and has few friends in the officialdom?
If someone doesn't break the law, you are not afraid of people in the officialdom. If you do things randomly, you will be able to move your whole body, causing you to take care of it.
The owner who was receiving Yang Sihai and others on the boat was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was not afraid of running away from his family, and only said that he was seeking profit and avoiding harm to others.
Regardless of whether the court officials love the people, they are always familiar with those who work in Yuezhou... The male owner hinted that he was in Yuezhou's officialdom and wanted to give up the idea of these bureaucrats' need to get some money to help with their salaries. When the traitor comes, they are all unfamiliar people. He wants to rob and kill them all depends on others, which makes people feel uneasy.
Yang Sihai, who had never spoken, couldn't help but ask: Sir, think the traitor wants to attack Yuezhou, and Yuezhou cannot be defended?
The male owner said: Isn’t it that I am trying to belittle the parents of Yuezhou? How long ago did the war in the south of Dongting happen?The court sent two ministers of the Ministry of War and a marquis to transfer all the soldiers in Huguang. The blood was flowing into a river but still could not stop the thief. What big city is our Yuezhou?Moreover, I feel that Yuezhou is not at peace no matter where it is. There are water on three sides of this place. The thieves must come from the southeast by land. The soldiers and thieves can only reach the city through the village, and they cannot escape the thieves when they go to the village.
Sure enough, the owner of this wealthy family is much more wise than passers-by, and Sihai also felt that what he said was quite reasonable.
These people are both a big landlord and a businessman in the world. They have some insights that they cannot learn from books. The male owner's words next surprised the world.
I plan to stay in Jiangling, Jingzhou for a while and see the situation before going to Xiangyang. Wuchang is not allowed.
Sihai hurriedly asked why.
The male owner said: There are many wise and capable people in the government. Isn’t it obvious?As for the current situation of the loss of troops in Huguang, it is extremely difficult for Yuezhou to defend; the navy cannot stay in Dongting Lake, otherwise the rebels would seize Hukou after occupying Yuezhou. The navy was in Dongting Lake, so where could he ask for money and grain supplies?The navy was placed on the Yangtze River, one was to go east to the Huguang capital Wuchang, and the other was to go back to Jingzhou.After all, the traitor is a rebellion. The court will arrange a large army to recover lost territory. When the king's army arrives, if he wants to recover Jiangnan, he will gather troops to Jingzhou as the foundation. Therefore, the court will not protect Yuezhou at this time, and must protect Jingzhou from a stronghold to counterattack... It is reliable for me to go to Jingzhou now.
If Jingzhou is also thrown away, then Wuchang will not be able to go.In comparison, Xiangyang is more reliable. Why do you ask?Xiangyang is the outpost from Huguang to Nanyang, Henan. Where is Nanyang located? The gateway to the Central Plains.The rebels are about to attack Xiangyang, and they will soon be in the competition for the Central Plains. Not to mention whether they have the ability, can the court allow them to get involved in the Central Plains?
After chatting for a while, Yang Sihai and others finished a cup of tea on the boat, but did not leave much.
Up to the river bank, the accompanying officials said that Bai Ding had no knowledge, which was just talking nonsense.
Yang Sihai did not agree with this statement. He said: For local gentry and wealthy people, the situation of chaos is related to their wealth, and their statements are somewhat reasonable; and such people have a wide range of friends and opinions are often screened by friends and four friends. Listening to one thing is equivalent to hearing the remarks of many people in the folk world.
The officials disagreed, but they did not want to argue with the imperial envoy.
Yang Sihai wandered around for a long time before he went to inspect the city defense and official documents.
At this time, Yang Sihai, the imperial envoy sent from Yangzhou to inspect the Huguang commander, came to Yuezhou, which made Yuezhou's officialdom even more worried.
