Chapter 236 Guangxi Affairs [Part 1]

I saw people rushing in the White Tiger Hall, and all the civil and military officials gathered together.

Zhao Qian naturally sat in the first place, looked at everyone present, and said, "Although I saw you when I entered the city, you also knew the situation at that time. Cao Gong was homesick, so many introductions were very hasty. I would like to ask Punishment Feng Tong to introduce me to you!"

Feng Shenji, the counselor of the Pacification Envoy and the Guizhou Tongzong, lived in the southwest for a long time. Although he served as an official in Jiangling, he did not have long been familiar with most officials. It is also a good choice to ask him to introduce him.

"The prince is the deputy envoy of transshipment and the chief supervisor of Guangnan West Road, Wang Ranbo!"

"This one is..."

In Feng Shenji's introduction, Zhao Jin had roughly learned about a situation on Guangnan West Road. The lack of officials!

Maybe someone here is strange, lack of officials? Isn’t the “problem” of redundant officials in the era of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty already very serious? Indeed! But Guangnan West Road is located in Lingnan, and the place is hot. For northerners, they don’t know if they can come back if they go. Of course, they can also promote local people. The current two major ways of official career, including the imperial examination, have nothing to do with the Lingnan people.

Yinpu depends on ancestors. In terms of military generals, the people who conquered the world with Emperor Taizu of Song were northerners. At that time, civil officials were mainly northerners. Not many Lingnan people became high-ranking officials, so their descendants naturally found it difficult to fill this big pit. At this time, the north still occupied the main force in the imperial examination, but it was not as limited as in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In this way, almost all the scholars in the southern world won the imperial examination.

The most important thing is that the scholars who passed the Song Dynasty were not only assigned to you as an official, but you got the official position. Instead, they first chose three places and you chose to go there. Don’t like it? Okay, choose again next year, and you can choose three years. Since you can choose, although it will take some time, in the opinion of the scholar, it is better than those who suffer in Lingnan.

Therefore, many officials from Guangnan West Road have multiple positions, which is also a helpless move by the court against the characteristics of the officialdom in Guangnan West Road.

Although Zhao Qian noticed this issue and was ready to start solving it, he did not express his meaning in this regard. Instead, he asked: "How is the war now?"

Zhao Qian asked about his former governor of Guangnan West Road and his current governor of Guangnan West Road. He defeated the Anhua Manchus and slaughtered his clan. However, Cao Keming stopped him, and the current rebellion of the Anhua Manchus was also caused.

Although Ma Yu tried hard to make her face look rigid and serious, she still showed a bit of bitterness and said, "Before, Rongxi was defeated, and the troops on Guangnan West Road were greatly damaged. Now there are not many troops stationed in Yizhou, Rongzhou and other places on the front line. There are about 1,000 soldiers in Yizhou, and they are divided into three parts: Rongshui County, Luochengbao and Wangkouzhai, forming a junction with each other."

As soon as Ma Yu finished speaking, Zhao Qian's brows were already frowning. "Wait! Tie said that there were only about one thousand people in Rongzhou? There were only one thousand soldiers in such a large Rongzhou? The imperial guards? The wing soldiers?"

Before Ma Yu could speak, someone said sarcastically: "The prince has lived in the north for a long time, and there is no way to know that we who guard the southern border have worked hard! One thousand people, and they also talk about the imperial guards and soldiers! Prince, do you know how many soldiers are stationed in the huge south? Just 195th battalions of soldiers!"

"Random!" Feng Shanji now regarded Zhao Qian as his great backer in his career, and he was able to a low-level official to mock his benefactor and immediately stood up and scolded him.

Zhao Qian raised his hand and made a stop gesture. He looked at the official with a dull face, without anger or appreciation. "What's your name? What's your position?"

Although all the officials in the White Tiger Hall introduced themselves, Zhao Qin really couldn't remember so many of them in the White Tiger Hall, and the introduction time was short.

"I was born in the first year of Tiansheng and was a Jinshi. Is it true that the Yizhou proclaimer Zhan Guanping!" Zhan Guanping looked at Zhao Jin with anger.

Zhao Jin smiled and didn't say anything, and understood why the other party dared to blame himself. He was a Jinshi, that is, a scholar. Zhao Jin could not kill him, but could only be demoted... The problem was all on Guangnan West Road to serve as an official. To put it bluntly, even if he was demoted, he could still be missed there? As for the promotion, it has been twenty years since the first year of Tiansheng, but he is still a prosecutor. He was either suppressed by powerful officials or made some big mistakes. It can be said that there is no hope of promotion.

As the saying goes, if you don’t have yu, you will be strong. Zhan Guanping is really not afraid of Zhao Jin.

"Baring the dog far away!" Zhao Qian said coldly with disdainful eyes.

Zhan Guanping was furious and wanted to say something. Zhao Qian had already looked at him with cold eyes and said, "I dare not kill anyone, but there are so many wildernesses on Guangnan West Road, so it is normal for one and a half of an official to be missing!"

Zhan Guanping couldn't help but shivered when he heard this and did not dare to say more.

Zhao Chen's move has shocked many officials from Guangnan West Road. They found that this Changsha King was not the kind of playboy with noble origins and low vision.

Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of decisive decisiveness, there is a very good way to deal with it.

Although he was arrogant to Zhan Guanping Zhao Jin, he turned around and said that Zhao Jin naturally lowered his attitude towards Ma Yu. Ma Yu is a capable person, and he is a real power figure on Guangnan West Road. "Matixia, please tell me the details."

After a pause, Zhao Qin continued, "I don't know about some things. Although I was sent to Guangnan West Road to serve, I was mourning before coming, but because the officials seized love, I was using it in advance. Before leaving, in order to supplement Queen Mother Zhang Hui, I specially held a grand sacrifice, which wasted a lot of time. In order to get back the time I had been delayed before, I had to rush back all the way. I had no time to sleep in Guangnan West Road and even Lingnan, and I didn't have time to get familiar with it. Some of the questions were very straightforward and might be very ordinary, but I hope Matisha would answer in detail!"

Ma Yu is not the kind of official who is ungrateful and resentful. After a few words of politeness, Ma Yu replied: "Prince, because the northerners are not familiar with the south, there are not many soldiers in the south, only one hundred and ninety-fifth battalions of soldiers! Moreover, the southwards, not many of them are stationed in Sichuan. The climate of Guangnan West Road is hot and the miasma is high. Therefore, although it is located in the border, it is only stationed in the 27th battalion of imperial guards. And it is still unsatisfied. Each battalion has more than 300, and a few are at least 150 or 60."

Zhao Qian was shocked and said, "The imperial guards are so decayed? There are about 300 horse soldiers in one battalion! Those who come to Guangnan West Road should be infantry, and the few soldiers are so powerful!"

ps: The number of words is a little less, there is no way, time is too tight.
