In the previous article, the author and you talked about a series of stories about the Yongzheng dynasty, such as the ranks of various official positions. Today, let’s talk about Nian Gengyao’s blood washing of Jiangxia Town. During Nian Gengyao 's raid on Jiangxia Town, he was obstructed by the Anhui green camp soldier Huai'an Camp. Qian Zongruan was only a military officer of the eighth rank, but he was not afraid of the first rank Nian Gengyao. So, the distance between the official positions of the two sides is tens of thousands of miles, why does Ruan Bida dare to be tough? Today, we will talk about this issue.
First, let’s talk about the components of local officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the civil service system, there appeared the governor, governor, chief ambassador, prosecutor, academic affairs, Daotai, prefects, prefects, and so on. Among them, with the exception of the Governor of Sichuan and the Governor of Zhili, the other Governors have managed two or three provinces, such as the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the Governor of Shanxi and Gansu. Generally speaking, the governor has the title of "Shangbu of the Ministry of War" or Yudu Yushi, so he is also called the master of Taiwan, the master of the ministry, and so on.
In terms of rank, most of the governors are senior officials of the first rank. Under the governor is the governor. Please note that the governor is not a subordinate of the governor, but is only inferior to the governor. Generally speaking, the governor bears the title of Yushi, the right deputy of the Imperial Court, and belongs to the second grade or the second grade, and is called the master of Zhongcheng or the master of Futai. The governor is responsible for all aspects of the province's military, political, civilian, financial, and other affairs, and belongs to the province's top leader. The governor and the governor restrain each other, and the tasks of various regions overlap.
But for the specific affairs of a province, the governor cannot directly intervene. For example, Zeng Guofan was the governor of Liangjiang, Jiangxi governor Shen Baozhen, very despised Zeng Guofan. The two have competed for several years, and no one can do anything about it. As for the chief ambassador, he is the second-in-command of a province with great power. Responsible for the province’s finance, money and personnel organization,As it manages the clan library in the province, he is called the master of the clan. The chief envoy belongs to the second grade, second only to the governor.
In many cases, if the governor is transferred or retired, it is usually the chief ambassador who will take over directly. According to the chaser, he is another local official, the standard third grade. Responsible for the province’s public security, penal, judicial, and disciplinary work, he is called Master Jiantai. Generally speaking, if the governor is promoted to the church, the chief ambassador and will sit on the left and right sides, and only these two people will have seats. Therefore, the chief ambassador and the press officer are also called the East Division and the West Division.
As for Xuezheng, although he is also a local official, the situation is very special. Xuezheng is directly subordinate to the court, and neither the governor nor the governor has the right to intervene in the work of the government. After all, Xuezheng is responsible for the province's imperial examinations and the selection of talents and talents. Generally speaking, Xuezheng is also referred to as a Taiwanese scholar. Although the power of academic politics is not as good as that of chief officials and envoys, other people are respectful when they see it. In the era of imperial examinations, the circle of teachers and students was very strong.
For example, students in the same year of studying politics, fellow students, fellow villagers, students, teachers, etc., can shout for a large group of people. Juren and scholars who graduated from Master Xuezheng will follow Master Xuezheng as their teacher. This is something the governor and governor cannot do. As for prefects and prefects. Everyone is very familiar with the local officials who belong to various prefectures and counties, and they are also the leaders of the prefectures and counties. In addition to civilian officials, there are military attachés. In the military attache system, they are divided into: admiral from the first rank, commander from the second rank, deputy general from the second rank, and participating generals from the third rank, and so on.
According to the truth, the admiral is responsible for the management of the province’s green army. It belongs to the province’s military attaché system. The rank is higher than the governor and equal to the governor. It is called the military gate. But in actual management, in accordance with the court's regulations, the admiral must accept the governor's temperance. In other words, as to how to do it, the admiral of the first grade must obey the governor of the second grade. Once the admiral or military officer, such as the general soldier, appears to be disobeyed, the governor has the power to use the king's banner. so,During the Qing Dynasty, the actual status of the admiral was not high.
There is even a story that the admiral is inferior to the prefecture, which means that in terms of the right to speak, the admiral may be inferior to the prefect of the fourth grade. Even the admiral is treated like this, and the situation of the generals, lieutenants, and generals can be imagined. For example, the lieutenant and chief ambassador are both from the second rank, and they lend ten courage to the lieutenant, and the lieutenant dare not speak with the chief ambassador. Although the chief ambassador cannot control the lieutenant, if the chief ambassador is promoted to governor, that is another story.
Under the recommendation of Prince Yong Yinzhen, Nian Gengyao served as the governor of Sichuan, a standard subordinate military attaché. Due to the problems of Ren Boan and Liu Ba-nu in Jiangxia Town, Yinzhen and Yinxiang ordered Nian Gengyao to find a solution. Where is Jiangxia Town? In Anhui Province. The Huai'an Camp of the Green Camp Army of Anhui Province is stationed near Jiangxia Town. The relationship between Ruan Bida and Ren Boan and Liu Ba Nu is very good, and they often move around. If you want to take Liu Ba Nu and Ren Boan from Jiangxia Town, Ruan Bida would definitely disagree.
Regarding this matter, Nian Gengyao was very troubled, and he once consulted with the deputy Yue Zhongqi . In the end, it was decided to transfer 500 elite officers and soldiers into Anhui Province in disguise and secretly gather in Jiangxia Town. Sure enough, when Nian Gengyao led the officers and soldiers to raid Jiangxia Town, Ruan Bida did indeed lead the officers and soldiers of Huai'an Camp to rescue. Before Nian Gengyao did not reveal his identity, Ruan Bida's tone was very tough. After Nian Gengyao made clear his identity, Ruan Bida had a easing attitude, but he didn't mean to give in.
At that time, Yue Zhongqi shouted: " This is the Nianjunmen in Sichuan. Which battalion do you belong to? Or hurry up and see ." Ruan Bida has a very good friendship with Ren Boyan and Liu Ba Nu. Nian Gengyao can't be taken away. However, Ruan Bida was only a high-ranking eighth-ranked master, and was almost a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Nian Gengyao's Cong-rank. Therefore, Nguyen Bi Da moved out of the imperial rule: "Strong 71strong military gate,Although you are a military sect in Sichuan, you can't come to my Anhui to arrest people without a ticket from Anhui Jiansi Yamen .
Seriously, there is nothing wrong with Ruan Bida. No matter how powerful Nian Gengyao is, he belongs to the governor of Sichuan and can’t control Anhui Province. If the hand stretched out too long, the governor of Anhui and the inspector of Anhui affirmed Not happy. In other words, Ruan Bida and Nian Gengyao do not have any affiliation, and there are also the governor of Anhui and the governor of Anhui. Therefore, Ruan Bi Nature is not afraid of Nian Gengyao. Especially when he learns that Ren Boan is the "prince prince". From now on, Ruan Bida was very excited and felt that his opportunity had come.
He immediately ordered Huai'an Camp officers and soldiers to step forward. As a result, Nian Gengyao still had an ambush. After finding that Huai'an Camp could not be resolved and he could not get out, Nian Geng Yao signaled that the ambushes outside the town broke out and wiped out Huai'an Camp. Although everyone was a green camp, there was a clear gap between the combat effectiveness of the elite main force and the second-line garrison. Within half an hour, Nian Gengyao ended the battle.
There are a series of stories about the official positions of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are many more. The author will slowly talk with you in future articles. .
