Chapter 340 Homecoming
Zheng Zhilong and the main force of the Zheng army had long retreated from Tongzhou, and only one of the tails of the Zheng army was still there. It can be said that there will be no Zheng army here soon.
But some people arrived in Tongzhou in a hurry.
This person is Yan Yingyuan, a child of a small family in Tongzhou. In the 14th year of Chongzhen, he went to Jiangyin as a classic history and showed his big face as soon as he took office.
The pirate Gu Sanmazi led his troops to invade Huangtian Port, and Yan Yingyuan led his troops to defend him. He fired three arrows in a row, and all of them fell down. The pirates were frightened and dared not commit again. Because during his tenure, they suppressed salt thieves, subdued civil unrest, and had outstanding political discipline, the people of Jiangyin were grateful for his kindness and painted his portraits in social studies.
However, this outstanding talent was not used by the Ming court at all. After three years of service, Yan Yingyuan was still a classic history.
As the Jiashen Incident broke out, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, and Yan Yingyuan, whose ancestral home was from Tongzhou, had a home that could not be returned. He was originally going to be transferred to another county to serve, or Dianshi. Because his mother was seriously ill and the road was blocked, the trip was not possible, so the whole family temporarily stayed at the foot of Shashan outside Jiangyin City.
How could Zheng Zhilong forget him as a talented person?
China has been in the past, and the history is as quiet as Yan Yingyuan, this is the only one. Zhang Xun was also a county magistrate who was born in a Jinshi. Yan Yingyuan was just a small landlord with little family resources.
He didn't have much fame and fortune, just a donated student. This depends purely on financial resources. In fact, 70% or 80% of the students in the Imperial College of North and South Zhili donated. It is not difficult to choose a classic history if you have money and use the student to choose a branch.
But those who have come like this have limited future in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Without fame and fortune, they will naturally be despised by those in power. You are not a Jinshi, even if you are a Juren? Although there are not many Juren to be a high-ranking official, there are not none of them.
There are Hai Rui in the distance, and Qiu Minyang in the nearest, and Hou Anguo in the nearest, all of whom are from Juren. But Yan Yingyuan is a supervisor.
In this time and space, because Emperor Chongzhen's southward journey brought a large number of officials, triggering a series of chain reactions. Yan Yingyuan was even extremely imminent to reach the threshold of becoming a rank official.
Because he worked well in Jiangyin, he was already selected as the chief clerk. He was at least a second-rank official, that is, the deputy of the magistrate, the ninth rank. This is a regular official. He has his own independent office and office. In some counties with wider territory or complicated affairs, the second-rank official also has his own jurisdiction.
Even when the magistrate is vacant or before the new magistrate has taken office, he is usually appointed as the magistrate as the second-ranking official. Many magistrates are also promoted directly from the county magistrate.
But in the current time and space, Yan Yingyuan has moved the place, and he is still a dictionary. Even though his actual status is really no inferior to the chief clerk, to a certain extent, dictionary is like the office director of later generations. When there is no county magistrate, dictionary is also responsible for the affairs of dictionary. Therefore, dictionary is also selected by the Ministry of Personnel and appointed by the emperor, so it is also a "ordered official" and is a miscellaneous chief official.
But one is included in the product and the other is missing. This is the difference between heaven and earth.
Zheng Zhilong did not send someone to recruit Yan Yingyuan seriously because it was too abrupt. The difference between the two was too big, and they wanted to find a suitable excuse. They waited until Yan Yingyuan's term of office was over and could not take up his post and take up his new position. So he asked someone to use a bad trick and transferred Yan Yingyuan's "Xin" to Dinghai for office.
At the beginning, the same one-size-fits-all size was the same. Has the entire Dinghai Yamen been opened, but soon he was recruited into the county Yamen on the grounds of "excellent resume".
At this time, Yan Yingyuan had a home but could not return, and he could not invest in the country.
Because the person who gave Dinghai to Zheng Zhilong was Emperor Chongzhen, is it not obvious that the country cannot be voted for? If he dared to get off the boat, he could only say goodbye to the officialdom. His home was in Tongzhou, northern Zhili, and Tongzhou was already the territory of the Tatars. In this way, Yan Yingyuan could only sit in the empty house. This is not a "reality" that the Chinese are willing to accept.
Therefore, although Yan Yingyuan was a little reluctant, he still got on the Zheng family's ship.
Once he went up, he never got off the ship again. Especially after the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty last year, all the hope of Yan Yingyuan returning to his hometown was placed on Zheng Jun, which was really devoted.
I have already achieved the position of second-in-command by Dinghai General Administration.
Of course, this is because Zheng Zhilong took special care of him, but it cannot be denied that this person who can be truly capable of keeping his name in history is indeed not stupid. Yan Yingyuan cannot make any achievements in fame, but he is really a good person in handling common affairs.
Even Zheng Zhilong doesn't emphasize him, he can stand out among civil servants.
After Zheng Zhilong got Yan Yingyuan's circle, he really didn't know how to place him. Let Yan Yingyuan join the army, can he adapt?
The Zheng army is not a cold weapon army, it is a large firearm army that has formed a large scale. Even the Qing army and the Ming army are likely to transform into a firearm army in the future.
In the rain of bullets, Yan Yingyuan was too easily damaged on the battlefield. He was just a low-level officer (just joined the gang), and Zheng Zhilong could not provide him with enough meticulous protection.
But Zheng Zhilong had no reason to quickly raise him to a certain level.
Even Shi Lang and Jiang Zhe have made many contributions, and they have been promoted to their current status. Yan Yingyuan is just a classic history, and he has made great contributions?
But Zheng Zhilong really couldn't bear to let Yan Yingyuan take the civil service route.
Seeing Jiangyin defending the city, this glory is enough to match the battle of Zhang Xun guarding Suiyang. The whole process is intense, tragic and awe-inspiring. On the 80th day, he was loyal to Taizu and the 17th dynasty figures. Hundreds of thousands of people were united in their hearts and died, leaving the Ming Dynasty for 300 miles. When people think about it, their eyes became hot.
And just like Zhang Xunshou Suiyang, he used all the thirty-six strategies.
Fake surrender, stealing camps, fire attacks, nailing gun holes, straw men borrowing arrows, pretending to be a ghost, attacking small groups, and rushing to Chuge... They use all their best, and they all shine with creative light.
In history, Yan Yingyuan, after being invited into Jiangyin City by Chen Mingyu, immediately compiled the household registrations of the whole city into a list, and selected young and strong men to form militia. He also severely questioned the passers-by in the city and eliminated traitors. Under his leadership, tens of thousands of people in Jiangyin City made full use of their talents and resources, and assigned them in an orderly manner, and immediately turned the Jiangyin small city into a tightly guarded fortress.
This super strong commander and coordination ability is enough to make Yan Yingyuan an excellent general.
Resourceful and highly capable of commanding and coordinating. Isn’t it too wasteful to ask such a person to leave the army and take the civilian route?
So Zheng Zhilong found an excellent place for him - Hokkaido, where he could fight and govern the people. However, Hokkaido was still in a "barren" state, and with his qualifications, he was enough to run to take the lead.
Now Yan Yingyuan is rushing back to Tongzhou in a hurry, so he naturally wants to take away his family and friends from his hometown. Even if he follows him to Hokkaido, it is better than staying in Tongzhou and being governed by the Tartars?
Yan Yingyuan had no father anymore. But he also had an uncle, two aunts, as well as a group of cousins, uncles and uncles.
Because of his arrival, the entire Yan family was happy on this day. In today's chaotic world, they could get real protection, which was a matter of no exchange.
Uncle Yan’s house is a small three-entry yard, and it was decorated with lights and newly installed. Although the servants were busy, everyone’s face was full of joy and energy, and they didn’t feel any tired at all.
The reason is that there is no such thing as Yan Yingyuan's arrival and Yan Yingyuan's promise.
We all go to Hokkaido first, which is across the sea, which is safer than Jinan and Denglai. Let’s stay there for three to five years. After the Zhongyuan has a sub-thesis, everyone is really willing to come back, and it will not be too late to return to Tongzhou. This is the ancestral tomb of the Yan family. Can Yan Yingyuan still not let his ancestors fool everyone?
If you want to stay in Tongzhou, not to mention the impact of future fighting and war, just as the Tartars will come to you as soon as this stall passes. When Yan Yingyuan comes back, the Yan family is so lively. Who doesn’t know that the Yan family has become an official in Zheng Zhilong except Yan Yingyuan. Can the Tartars let the Yan family go? Even the brothers in Yan Yingyuan’s side will not be good.
Yan Yingyuan either refused to return to Tongzhou, and after returning to Tongzhou, he would keep them in his hometown, which would harm them.
But Yan Yingyuan also has a reason for having to go home. His mother has been in poor health since she got sick a few years ago. Why don’t she take the opportunity to come back and wait until the dust in the north is settled, she will be a coffin.
Fortunately, the Yan clan did not have any trouble. Because now, even the timid and fearful people know that the Tartars are already in a dilemma and it is difficult to turn over again. The soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty were also full of garbage in the hearts of countless people, and Li Shun could not do it, because they were all beaten repeatedly by the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty was beaten again and again by the Zheng army. Zheng Zhilong's soldiers are more likely to unify the world now.
That's good. Among the Yan clans today, who doesn't praise Yan Yingyuan for his unique vision? Not to mention that many families who are already moving to other places have also been interested in the Yan family, so they naturally hope to ask for something good to Yan Yingyuan.
Even Shi Daxuan, who was left in Tongzhou, was alarmed and asked someone to prepare a gift to deliver it. Nothing else, it was just for a good deal. He was such a person, weaving relationships as much as possible and not offending anyone as much as possible, as if there were no edges or corners.
By noon, the news had already spread, and Yan Yingyuan had already set off the canal ship in Zhangjiawan. At this time, he could come to Tongzhou with twenty or thirty canal ships to pick up his family and family. This is the only ability, Shi Daxuan would look up to him.
The entire Yan family's close relatives became turbulent. Not only did the maids and servants not be able to calm down, but they frequently looked at the gate, but even Uncle Yan himself couldn't calm down. He sent people to the gate several times to check.
It was not until almost ten minutes later that a group of carriages drove up. The carriage did not look outstanding at all. Several servants from Uncle Yan's family were about to come out to drive them away, and Ma Mou stopped. Yan Yingyuan, who was looking forward to, came out of the carriage.
