Chapter 569 Some people in the DPRK are good officials
While Qin Dewei, an "outsider", watched, the "ten-member group" discussed for a while, and then invited Emperor Jiajing, and the candidate for the head coach of the Southern Expedition was decided.
With the strong support of the academician Xia Yan, Mao Bowen, the veteran censor of the left deputy capital, was selected and promoted to censor of the right capital and minister of the Ministry of War, and governor of the military affairs of the Southern Expedition.
This was as expected by Qin Dewei. In the original history, Mao Bowen was the candidate for the southern expedition.
The gentleman in "I undressed my shirt with my husband" is said to be Mao Bowen.
However, in the original historical trajectory, the person who was the governor of military affairs in the early period was Qiu Luan, Marquis of Xianning, and Mao Bowen was just a representative of the civil servants who supported military affairs.
But in this time and space, the disgraced Qiu Luan has been temporarily forgotten, and the imperial court directly appointed Mao Bowen as governor of military affairs.
So far today, the decision for the Southern Expedition has been made, the strategy has been determined, and the coaching staff has been decided, so the matter should be discussed...
Qin Dewei saw that the emperor and his ministers wanted to disband, so he quickly "checked for leaks and filled them up" and said:
"Generally, when we use troops against Annan, we always attack in two directions, with the main route from Guangxi and the side army from Yunnan.
Now Mao Bowen, the governor-general of military affairs, is in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi and is in charge of the overall situation. In addition, a minister should be appointed to assist in military affairs and be responsible for the partial divisions in the direction of Yunnan."
The ten ministers couldn't help but think of the word "the traitor will never die".
It seems that Bachelor Qin has to earn some military merit today, or else he will never give up.
If you can't get the head coach, you still have to get a branch coach?
Very good, very energetic, very much like a big boss.
Huo Tao, the censor of Zuodu, directly questioned: "It is enough to let the governor of Yunnan take charge of the partial division in the direction of Yunnan. Why bother sending someone else there?"
Qin Dewei argued: "Isn't it too flattering for a small country in Annan to use a first- and second-level commander and a governor to conquer at the same time?
Besides, the priorities of the governor and the governor are unclear, which can easily lead to problems of non-superiority.
Therefore, I think the division is in the direction of Yunnan. There is no need to use high-ranking officials, just send fourth- and fifth-rank officials from the imperial court. This is also to keep priorities clear."
Qin Dewei's statement profoundly proves what it means to have someone in the court who is easy to serve as an official.
If Qin Dewei didn't mention it and others didn't think too much about it, the credit for Yunnan would go to Yunnan.
Qin Dewei said that the credit should go to those sent by the imperial court.
In fact, many people had already guessed that Qin Dewei wanted to recommend his stepfather.
But for the big guys at the level of the "Ten-Man Group", the personnel arrangement of the fourth and fifth grades is not a "must compete".
This means that we will not fight for it "at any cost".
Because there are many places for the fourth and fifth grades, if you can’t fit them here, just change them to another place. Why hang yourself on a tree?
So everyone is thinking to see which direction the wind is blowing and see how strong the support Qin Dewei gets this time.
Besides, Yan Song is still here. Today, for the personal safety of his only son, Yan Song seems to have been objecting to Academician Qin's direct intervention in the Southern Expedition.
These two people are now one doing it for their father and the other for their son. It’s quite funny to think about it.
Qin Dewei looked at Yan Song soberly, "Actually, there is another person worth recommending, and that is Yan Shifan, the clerk of the Siyi Pavilion in Guangdong."
Everyone was very surprised. They all thought that Qin Dewei would tell the name of Master Zeng, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, but they didn't expect that it was Yan Shifan. It was really baffling.
Qin Dewei praised loudly and said: "Yan Shifan is resourceful and agile. He can be transferred to the Chinese army as a secretary to help praise paintings. He will definitely be able to make full use of his talents!"
Everyone was speechless again. Why don't you stay with such a good person and help you manage the Sei Pavilion?
Yan Song's heart beat violently several times, and he almost lost his breath.
After taking a few deep breaths, he hurriedly said: "The dog is disabled, short-sighted, and ignorant of military matters. How dare he praise military affairs!"
Qin Dewei smiled amiably: "No, no, Master Yan underestimates your master!
With your talents, you are more than capable of advising the Chinese army, and I am sure the governor, Lord Mao, will not have any objections!
Yan Shangshu, you may not be able to trust me, but how can you still not trust Master Mao?"
However, Yan Song's expression changed and he shouted angrily: "I only have this only son, and I would never dare to let him join the army! Scholar Qin should not bully others too much!"
Qin Dewei "backed down" and said to himself: "If you really don't want to, forget it. Why are you so anxious?"
Everyone was a little dizzy when they heard the conversation between Yan Song and Qin Dewei.
I feel that Academician Qin is like an old fox in his fifties and sixties, while Shangshu Yan, who is fifty-seven or eighteen years old, looks like a young boy.
And for some reason, Academician Qin brought Yan Shifan out to make trouble again.
Only Qin Dewei understood that through this test, it seemed that his previous guess about Yan Shifan was true.
In the original historical time and space, Yan Shifan did a very daring and bizarre thing.
When the Yan family fell, Yan Song was dismissed from office, and Yan Shifan was sent to Leizhou, Guangdong by Emperor Jiajing.
But two years later, others discovered that Yan Shifan was not in Leizhou at all!
He actually secretly returned to his hometown in Jiangxi and started construction of a mansion in Nanchang.
It was this incident that completely angered Emperor Jiajing and became the trigger for Yan Shifan's death.
At first, Qin Dewei couldn't help but become suspicious when he saw Yan Song desperately trying to prevent him from going to Guangdong and Guangxi.
Yan Song is so afraid of going to Guangdong and Guangxi, is he trying to cover up some problem?
After thinking deeply, Qin Dewei guessed that Yan Shifan was similar to the situation in the original history?
Is he not in Guangdong and secretly returned to his hometown of Jiangxi to enjoy his happiness?
Judging from Yan Song's "anxious" behavior, it is probably true, and Yan Shifan has such a behavior pattern.
After beating Yan Song, Qin Dewei told the Emperor Jiajing: "My father once served as a minister, and he was a former patrol officer in Liaodong. Now he is the prime minister of Dali Temple. He can go out on my behalf and divide his troops in Yunnan to serve the country!"
Qin Dewei was opposed just now, and the main excuse was that he was too young, but Zeng Xian's age should be no problem!
If a son cannot receive the merit, it makes sense to let his father take his place! It is analogous to the same principle as if a son becomes an official and his father is awarded the corresponding rank.
Everyone came together to see Yan Song, you, Yan Shangshu, are Qin Dewei’s biggest “opposition party” today, why don’t you hurry up and get to work!
But at this time, Yan Song watched his nose with his eyes, his nose with his heart, and stood still without saying a word.
Through the previous confrontation, Yan Song had guessed that Qin Dewei probably already knew Yan Shifan's whereabouts.
Talking about swaying Yan Shifan to become a clerk in the army was actually a secret warning.
As soon as this official transfer order comes out, Yan Shifan's absence in Guangdong will be easily exposed.
So now Yan Song can no longer rebel against Qin Dewei, otherwise he will really lose his son.
Everyone stared at Yan Song for a while, and when they saw that Yan Song was really "on strike", they suddenly felt confused again.
Of course, everyone is used to it. The court is so unpredictable and there are too many things that make people confused.
Among others, Huo Tao, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhang Zan, minister of the Ministry of War, originally wanted to oppose Qin Dewei's recommendation.
But seeing Yan Song's strange performance, he cautiously said nothing.
After all, it is just a matter of arrangement for the fourth- and fifth-grade officials, so there is really no risk.
Xia Yan, a great scholar, sold well and agreed: "We can add Zeng Mian as the censor of Youqiandu and assist in the military affairs of Yunnan."
No one objected, and the emperor did not veto it. The appointment was approved.
Again, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to be officials!
