Since he was awarded the Yunxiang General Army and received the encouragement of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhao Dangshi paid more attention to public opinion than in the past. He knew very well in his heart that as a powerful faction with a decisive position in a province, Zhao Ying had received unprecedented attention. The focus of development is not only limited to food, clothing, and survival, but must also be well balanced in military, political, personal, and propaganda aspects, and every step of the way needs to be like walking on thin ice, and this is the price of development. Zhao Ying has already passed the stage of following the tide in the early stage, and has considerable strength to hold his fate in his own hands. However, at present, Zhao Ying's strength is still very weak, not enough to influence the overall situation of the world, nor can it be achieved overnight.

"Guns, pens, and pens have to be caught!"

This is the core idea of Zhao Ying's development at this stage recently put forward by Zhao Dangshi.

The "barrel of the gun" is easy to understand, and Zhao Ying's life is the basis for his life. However, Zhao Dangshi deliberately highlighted the "pen", and even placed it on the same level as the gun, which surprised many people, especially the generals.

"My lord, this is to promote those stinky old nines."

"Zhao Ying relied on our brothers to punch and kick out, what are you doing?"

"If it doesn't work, let those stinky poor acids ride on our heads and point fingers, how can they stand the bird's breath?"

The voices of dissatisfaction mainly appeared among the middle and lower-level officers in Zhao Ying, and the abnormal thing is that this time, the upper-level officers seemed to have lost their voices one by one, and no one jumped out to accuse and complain.

In fact, as early as mid-April, Zhao Dangshi held a meeting in the Three Military Mansions, which had not long been completed. This meeting was extraordinary, including Chang Zeyu and Mu Gongchun's Second Army Division, the sentry officers of the Zhao Ying Army, the second commander in command of the division and above, and whether or not they were still on assignment abroad, all participated in the meeting, and the number of participants exceeded 50.

At the meeting, Zhao Dangshi first explained that Zhao Ying's current situation is not what it used to be, and then bluntly announced that in order to meet the new needs, it is necessary to redivide the rights of the existing institutions. A very important reason is that since Zhao Ying accepted Zhao'an, due to a relatively fixed foundation for development, there have been some changes in the situation in which the army has an absolutely dominant position. Of course, the army has always been the foundation of the Zhao battalion, but the Zhao battalion had to rely on the development of the base area to consolidate its own strength, and in the past, it could only silently and sporadically participate in some material management and money and grain dispatch work in the rear.

However, after all, the division of the Second Army and the Seventh Division of the Zhao Battalion was a grass creation on the way to exile, and it was built up one radish and one pit, and there was never a unified blueprint design, so it was difficult to adapt to the specific situation faced by Zhao Ying today, and there were many problems of overlapping responsibilities and confusion of rights, which had a great impact on work efficiency. In order to effectively solve these pain points, Zhao Dangshi decided to divide the responsibilities of the existing institutions by separating the military, the government, and the ideology.

Army, set up the Soldiers and Horses Unified Academy, in charge of all the military of Zhao Ying, referred to as the Military Academy. The personnel appointments, dismissals, and troop deployments of the 5th Battalion of the Zhaoying Field Army and the 4th Battalion of the Tuntian Army were all under the jurisdiction of the Soldiers' and Horses' Command. The highest position is called "Great Soldiers and Horses", which is concurrently held by Zhao Dangshi himself. Under the command of the big soldiers and horses, there are divided into "soldiers and horses" and "deputy soldiers and horses", and all those who are in charge of the military at the level of battalion officers are concurrently serving as one of these two positions. Further down, there are "soldiers and horses" and "deputy soldiers and horses", which are concurrently served by those at the level of middle officers and sentinels. In addition, among the seven divisions, the personal command envoy, the special service command envoy and the coach envoy are also under the jurisdiction of the Terracotta Metropolitan Academy, and the chief officer is also the "deputy commander of the Terracotta Commandery".

The establishment of the Terracotta Capital did not have an impact on the actual position of the current Zhao Ying generals, so all the generals accepted it ignorantly.

Politics, set up the Chengxuan Zhizheng Yuan, in charge of all government affairs of Zhao Ying, referred to as the Political Yuan. The three departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the Department of the Southeast Department of the City are subordinate to it. The highest position is called "Great Governor", which is held by Chang Zeyu, who has the right to coordinate the work of the three subordinate divisions in a unified manner. The deputy position of "governor" is concurrently held by the chief of the three divisions, and is responsible for the chief governor, and the second is the "deputy governor". In this way, Zhao Ying's original situation of various government agencies doing their own things has become history.

is different from the establishment of the Terracotta Metropolitan Academy, how terrible it is, there are quite a few complaints about Chang Zeyu's appointment as the great governor. He believes that Chang Zeyu has never really participated in the work of a series of government affairs before, and the sudden airborne landing may have a negative effect on the operation of government affairs.

Chang Zeyu did not back down, and directly cited the example of Chongzhen's four years. In June of that year, Wang Jiayin, the leader of the early Liukou, was killed by a traitor in the mountains of Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province after being attacked by the Ming army one after another. This ability to adapt and control the field, Zhao Ying and everyone asked themselves, no one can compare.

"If you have any public opinion, what should you do at that time, so that you can avoid a difficulty?"

He Kewei listened to his last question, his old face turned red, and he couldn't speak. Among the generals, like Hou Dagui, he was a witness to that incident, and if he really talked about it, it can be said that Chang Zeyu saved his life and expressed support for Chang Zeyu. Most of the rest of the generals have spent years in the rogue colonies, even if they have never been to Shanxi, they all feel the same way. How dare he raise the bar to so many people, he can only swallow his dissatisfaction back into his stomach.

In addition, Qin Qigong and others, who are currently in charge of government affairs in Zaoyang County, are also temporarily assigned to the subordinate of the Chengxuan Zhizheng Yuan, and Qin Qigong is also the governor.

Thinking, set up the unified power inspection institute, referred to as the institute. The highest position is called "big inspection", which is held by Liu Xiaohong, the inspector of the inspection and disposal department, and the deputy "inspection" is concurrently held by the directors of each department, and the third is "deputy inspection". Needless to say, Liu Xiaohong is a well-known celebrity of "Wenmian Zhang Fei", who has always been meticulous and public more than private, and his large-scale inspection is enough to ensure the authority of the unified inspection institute. The successor inspector promoted Yang Shaoting, an inspector under the original inspector and disposal envoy.

On the one hand, the responsibility of the Unified Inspection Institute is to supervise the military and political affairs, and on the other hand, to guide the public opinion of Zhao Ying externally and strengthen the military style building of Zhao Ying internally. At the same time, two new divisions were set up, one of which was called the "Department of External Propaganda and Internal Propaganda". The three words "pen" mentioned by Zhao Dangshi at the meeting actually fell to a large extent on the shoulders of the external propaganda and internal propaganda envoys. The Ministry of External Propaganda and Internal Propaganda took Mu Gongchun as the chief. Mu Gongchun is a well-known writer in the camp, and he dares to say and do, and is good at surprise, so it would be good for him to be in charge of publicity. The other is called the "Commander of the Envoys", and the counselor of the Xiaojie Battalion is transferred to oversee the army.

At first, Yan Licheng didn't know what this commander did, but Zhao Dangshi explained succinctly: "Who is the Counselor and Overseer you served before? It's me. However, this division has been established, and all the counselors and overseers in the army in the future will be ordered by your division, not under the command of the soldiers and horses. ”

Yan Licheng reacted quickly and asked rhetorically, "But the prison army?" ”

Zhao Dangshi shook his head and said, "It's not a prison army. The overseer only supervises the soldiers, and the counsellors and overseers also supervise the brains of the soldiers. ”

"The brains of the prison soldiers......" Yan Licheng chewed on this sentence repeatedly, thoughtfully.

Zhao Dangshi did not discuss this topic in depth, but said: "Regarding this matter, I will find an opportunity to discuss it with you in detail." In short, the position of counselor will not only oversee the army in the future, but also be assigned to various departments. The subdivisions of each army and each division must also be equipped with counselors. ”

Hearing this, Yan Licheng already had a rough outline in his mind, and the initial confusion was quickly washed away by a heavy sense of responsibility. He didn't know that Zhao Dangshi would implement the idea of this Unified Power Envoy Division, but he was clear about the purpose that Zhao Dangshi wanted to achieve, that is, the original intention of the establishment of the Unified Power Envoy Division, and there was only one thing - to ensure the absolute allegiance of all military and political personnel to Zhao Dangshi.

The names and positions of the three courts, Zhao Dangshi, Chang Zeyu, Mu Gongchun and other major planners also racked their brains and carefully circumvented the existing official system of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to impeach those with intentions for the crime of "trespassing". If someone really asks about this set of administrative teams, Zhao Dangshida can be inferred that it is convenient to suppress the cowards, and anyway, it has not infringed on the existing institutions and official positions.

It's mid-May, and it's been a month since the establishment of the Third Hospital.

Zhao Ying seized the opportunity and took advantage of the time when the West Camp pulled out the army, first won a victory in Shengkang Town, and then recovered Gucheng. Speaking of which, the battle in Shengkang Town was suspected of being a trick, and there were not many actual casualties. Guangfu Valley City was even more swept away by the autumn wind, and the soldiers took down the ruins of only one or two thousand miscellaneous soldiers entrenched and without the protection of the city wall. The only thing worth mentioning is that he "handily" received the 30,000 vacancies abandoned by Xiying. These achievements are in essence and cannot be described everywhere, but to the external propaganda and internal propaganda under the leadership of Mu Gongchun, people rushed to tell each other, and within three to five days, many slogans spread throughout the entire northern and southern parts of Chu and Henan, and gradually expanded to the periphery.

"The first to break the thief's work, the beginning of Kuangfu Sheji!"

"The old man of the Zhao family is hairpin, and he screams at the thief!"

"Seeing the Zhao family's fathers and fellow villagers, they are all happy!"

If people who don't know see this kind of scene, they will also say that Zhang Xianzhong has exterminated Zhao Ying. But only this time the experiment achieved far more than expected - although Mu Gongchun applied for a lot of funds from the Chengxuan Zhizheng Yuan in order to "win" - Zhao Ying and Zhao Dangshi himself The popularity of Zhao Ying and Zhao Dangshi himself has risen sharply, at least in northern Chu, women and children know that there is an adult named Zhao Dangshi, who is very good at fighting thieves and protecting the people. The value of Zhao Ying's pen has begun to emerge at this time.
