Chapter 199: Liu Zhifeng goes to Taiwan
It was Liu Zhifeng who was sent to be the prefect of Taiwan.
Liu Zhifeng was born in a family of officials. He was smart and studious since he was a child. He was a 14-year-old young scholar, a 28-year-old juren, and a 44-year-old middle-aged scholar. He served as the general manager (judicial officer) of Huai'an Prefecture (Anhui Province).
In the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618), he served as the same examiner (deputy examiner) in Huguang (Hunan, Hubei). In the third year of Apocalypse (1923), he was promoted to the supervisor of Nanjing Huaixi Road. Successively went to Shu to defend the border guard general Sun Chengzong and others, and went to Shu to concubine the **** **** Wei Zhongxian, requesting to stop internal exercises, was reprimanded by the court, and expelled from the court by the eunuch. Tianqi ordered him to patrol Jiangfang in six years, and returned to Beijing at the expiration of his term. He was again taken off the post by the eunuch.
In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Wei Zhongxian was defeated and killed. In view of Liu Zhifeng's loyalty and commendation, the court appointed him as Jiangxi Imperial History.
Liu Zhifeng was loyal and straightforward throughout his life. He lived a very frugal and simple life. On weekdays, he always had light tea and light meals, and he was more jealous of luxury. One piece of clothing was washed and then washed until it was worn out and white. He is very enthusiastic about people, responsive to requests, and not stingy. People at the time were very impressed by its virtue.
He dared to speak directly, and the Minister of Fighting spared no effort. Such talents should be sent to Taiwan to fight thieves!
As for the county officials and other sesame officials, the officials wouldn't bother their brains. It was up to Minfu Xiong Wencan to decide.
……
Hearing that the imperial court decided to set up the Taiwan government in Taiwan (the government is located in Tainan) and the three counties of Kaohsiung, Tainan and Chiayi, and then the prefects and prefects were sent to Tainan, and the official ships were sent to Tainan. Both Yan Changwu and Chen Zhongji attached great importance to them. Arrived in Tainan to greet court officials.
The two went to the old warlord’s mansion to sit and have refreshments. They saw the official ship (that is, the blessing ship) in the open sea from the telescope, and two cruise ships from the Southeast Mansion escorted it.
Both cruise ships are in combat mode. Cannons protrude from the gun door on the ship wall, showing awe-inspiring power. I don’t know if those Ming officials were scared!
The official ship berthed on the wharf, Yan Changwu ordered people to fire a cannon to welcome him, and then the Marine Corps officers and soldiers placed a thousand troops to greet him, which really "gave enough" the court's face.
Waiting for silence to avoid waiting for the cards, the stick led off the boat and went ashore. On the boat, only one person in official robes walked down. The head of the man was wearing a black banknote, and he was dressed in a fourth-rank civil service. It should be Liu Zhifeng.
He looks tall and thin due to malnutrition, but he is very energetic, and his eyes can be seen as "excited"!
Seeing thousands of Marines posing by Yan Changwu, they are fully armed, with huge muskets on their shoulders, the thorns of the guns gleaming with cold light, and basin helmets on their heads, they are not wearing Ming army uniforms!
Wearing a military uniform different from that of the Ming army, they are capable and sturdy. Everyone wears a sturdy buckskin vest, and each of them is either strong or vigorous, which is very different from the Ming army.
Seeing Liu Zhifeng's expression as usual, but not frightened, Yan Changwu secretly admired Liu Zhifeng, and said to Liu Zhifeng: "Liu Zhifu, please forgive Yan for being rude."
"Don't dare to be, General Yan is too polite, he can't afford it." Liu Zhifeng replied.
In the Ming Dynasty, Wen Zun Wubei, a fourth-rank civil officer could fight against a second-rank general. Liu Zhifeng claimed to be a lower official according to the rank ratio (Yan Changwu is a second-rank general), which is also a sign that he is not pedantic.
Min Fu Xiong Wencan knows that Liu Zhifeng is the prefect of Taiwan, and that Liu Zhifeng is straightforward, afraid that he will lose court dignity when confronting Yan Changwu. Yan Changwu will kill thousands of soldiers at his own pace. Killing someone is nothing to say, killing a prefect is nothing!
He showed all the materials of Yan Changwu to Liu Zhifeng, and Liu Zhifeng was deeply touched!
The boy who was fifteen years old, killed his enemies with his own hands, then operated Taiwan, formed a fleet, and defeated the Dutch and the army. Among them, the Fujian navy and the big battle were all frustrating!
Xiong Wencan's information is more detailed than that of the imperial court, saying that Yan Changwu's Southeast Mansion's income and profit amounted to more than four million taels of silver!
No matter how arrogant Liu Zhifeng was, he was shocked by these materials!
Take Liu Zhifeng as an example. He is a 14-year-old young scholar, a 28-year-old juren, and a 44-year-old mid-level scholar. However, Yan is less than 20 years old and is already a dominant player. It can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty has no opponent at sea.
Fortunately, Xiong Wencan recruited him. He really wanted to turn against him. Who can control him?
You dare to be arrogant, he kills you like a chicken, but it's no use if you die.
Liu Zhifeng has a right attitude, resolute and steady, Yan Changwu is a person who respects me and I respect him, and he is not arrogant.
At this time, one person got off the boat, but it was Mr. Zhong, a friend of Minfu Mu who he knew. He saluted Yan Changwu: "Hello, General Yan!"
"Hehehe, good Mr. Zhong!" Yan Changwu did not observe the customary etiquette, but also responded with a courtesy: "Mr. Zhong, are you responsible for sending Liu Zhifu across the strait?"
"Exactly, Zhong was ordered by the governor to send the prefect Liu over here!" Mr. Zhong replied.
"Oh, where are the other three county magistrates?" Yan Changwu couldn't help being curious when seeing the two of them.
Liu Zhifeng and Mr. Zhong both showed embarrassment. It is ridiculous that the Fujian officialdom heard that they wanted to send people to Taiwan to serve as officials, but no one dared to go!
Yan Changwu is clever, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what was going on, so he laughed at himself: "I don't have three heads and six arms, but I'm not a monster with huge mouths and fangs that can eat people without spitting out bones. What are you afraid of!"
"General Yan is a real great benefactor, how many people in the Southeastern provinces live because of you!" Mr. Zhong responded.
At the moment, Yan Changwu introduced Chen Zhongji to Liu Zhifeng. Everyone made a few words, and then Yan Changwu said: "Please go to my mansion~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This general will prepare a little wine for the two of you. Please enjoy the honor. That mansion. The government office is under construction and cannot be completed in a moment. Before that, I have to ask Prefect Liu to stay in my palace temporarily."
Yes, it turns out that the mansion has not been repaired yet!
If Liu Zhifeng hadn't read the information before, I was afraid that he would compete with Yan Changwu, but how could he be able to afford it, he could only agree.
But when I look at the means of transportation, I can’t help but feel stunned. The four-wheeled carriage driven by four horses, the front is the imperial, the carriage is spacious, inlaid with gold and jade, although there are not too many luxurious decorations, but the size specifications are not small, similar to the emperor's large reel. .
(Large Rill: The Rill Car was called the Rill in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. At this time, the Rill car was a single-wheel and two-wheeled car. The carriage in the middle was called Yu, and it was rectangular on the left and right. The car used by the emperor was like a jade rim, decorated with jade, and gold The ruins are named after gold ornaments, as well as elephant ruins, leather ruins, wooden ruins, etc., each with its own characteristics, called the "five ruins of the emperor", which represents the style of the emperor and is very luxurious.)
Liu Zhifeng's face changed slightly, and he said to Yan Changwu: "General Yan, this car has overrun, please forgive Liu for not daring to ride!"
"Liu Zhifu, you don't know anything. I have a vast territory in Taiwan, and all people ride horses and carriages. People have long used such carriages. When it comes to arrogance, the people here have already arrogated many times!" Yan Changwu heyran Tao.
Mr. Zhong said roundly: "Prefect Liu, Governor Xiong came to Taiwan last time, and he rode in such a carriage. You will know that you must get a carriage!"
The governor can sit down. Of course the prefect can sit down. Liu Zhifeng and Yan Changwu got on the carriage together. Together with Chen Zhongji and Mr. Zhong, the four of them did not feel crowded in the carriage.
The imperial whip hit the horse, and the horse ran.
Looking out through the carriage glass, Liu Zhifeng was greatly moved by the sight!
