Liu Xulei was accompanying the beautiful cuties to go upstairs to take a look at the scenery, but the teenager Liu Qilin was very busy......

During this period, due to the weakness of the Southern Ming army, it was often crushed at the touch of a major battle, either surrendering or fleeing, and under normal circumstances, the casualty rate of both sides was not very high after a battle.

Because of this, some Qing generals who have lost their conscience often kill good people all the way and take the risk of merit, wantonly slaughter cities, and rely on indiscriminate killing of innocent people to make up for people's heads and falsely report their military achievements.

However, if you encounter a tough defending general, you would rather break the jade than surrender, and the Qing army has to besiege the city and storm it, a siege battle will be a heavy casualties on both sides.

Therefore, during this period, both armies carried a lot of medical officers, and a large number of medicinal materials were also carried in the baggage materials.

In the battle of Nanchang, due to the arrival of Liu Xulei, the situation was finally reversed, and the Ming army fought a long-lost large-scale annihilation battle, even if it does not count the record of Bai Ying's department that was still chasing the enemy, the number of Qing troops annihilated in this battle was nearly 40,000.

However, such a big victory made the fledgling Liu Qilin scramble and had a headache.

Although the battle was a complete victory, Jiao Lian's entire army suffered extremely heavy casualties, and in the first battle of the camp on the bank of the Ganjiang River, more than 3,000 elites were killed more than 500 people, and more than 1,000 people were wounded; In the anti-siege battle under the city, the casualties were as high as more than 4,000 people.

After the two battles, there were more than 1,000 dead and nearly 5,000 wounded and disabled, Liu Qilin ordered people to place all the lightly wounded in the camp outside the city, and more than 1,000 seriously wounded were carried into the city with better conditions for treatment.

In addition, the remains of more than 1,000 people who died in battle also need to be buried in time, so more people are urgently needed to help.

What made him even more troubled was that on the side of the Qing army, there were more than 10,000 corpses of Tartars left, and countless wounded and captured people.

With so many corpses to be buried, and more wounded waiting for treatment, Liu Qilin was in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived at the government, he ordered people to look for people everywhere, because the prefect and other officials had already fled, so he followed Liu Xulei's instructions to collect officials and officials everywhere.

In fact, the Nanchang Mansion is not the most powerful yamen in the city, and there is also the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen, which is one level higher than the government office, which is the highest yamen in the province, but it is empty and no manpower has been found.

Jiangxi Province, like other provincial-level units, was called Zhongshu Province during the Yuan Dynasty, and the highest governor was called Pingzhang Political Affairs, who was in charge of the money and grain, military armor, tun seeds and other military and political affairs in the province under its jurisdiction.

In the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court abolished the province of Zhongshu, changed to Jiangxi Chengxuan political envoy department, the chief executive is the political envoy, no longer oversees the local power, only responsible for various civil decrees, and the military has set up a command department, and the supervision aspect is set up to prosecute the criminal envoy department, and the three divisions are separate and do not govern each other.

In the early Qing Dynasty, in order to improve administrative efficiency, the Jiangxi Provincial Political Envoy Department was changed to Jiangxi Province, and the governor became the highest chief executive of the province.

Jiangxi Governor's Yamen, located in the Ningwang Mansion, this is the largest and best house in the city, the governor has military command in peacetime, in case of important wars, the Qing court sent another commander general.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, in order to reduce the powers of the governor, the Qing court set up a province or governors of one or more provinces that were more military, ranking above the governors.

At present, due to the needs of the war, the Qing court appointed Chen Tai, a noble general of the Eight Banners, to sit in Jiangxi, so the new governor of Jiangxi has no real power, before the Ming army besieged the city, Chen Tai has let the governor Yamen and others withdraw to Jiujiang Mansion, so after the Ming army entered the city, the Ning Wangfu was only an empty house.

Such a good house is empty, Liu Qilin took the Ning Wangfu as a place to treat the wounded, and set up his headquarters in the palace, when Liu Xulei and his party returned to the city, he was summoning more than 100 small officials and officials to give lectures.

The personnel in the government are divided into three categories: officials, officials, and servants, and they are pyramid-shaped in terms of quantity, and the division of labor in government affairs is roughly as follows: the officials make decisions, the officials manage the documents, and the servants are sent for dispatch.

The prefects, the prefects, the main books, and the canons and histories are the officials of the imperial court, and the number is very small; The clerks mainly work in the six rooms, the grain department, the horse department and other housing departments, and handle the official documents and account books; The officials were responsible for standing in the hall, guarding, guarding, urging the department, arresting and other matters, and waiting for the dispatch of the officials.

In order to prevent internal and external collusion and fraud, the Ming Dynasty stipulated that officials and other public officials must live in the yamen according to the regulations, and generally do not allow miscellaneous people, only the officials who do not enter the stream can find a house to live near the official mansion.

The officials must also stay in the yamen when they go to work, and they are not allowed to go out of the yamen without authorization, and the work of running errands to the countryside is the work of the yamen, so even if the cannon is rumbling outside, these officials are hiding in the yamen and do not dare to run around.

Unexpectedly, in addition to a small official, the Ming army also found two officials, one is called Gan Cheng, who is the chief secretary of Nanchang Mansion, and the other is Huang Deren, who has not yet escaped.

"After I finished speaking, what to do, you can weigh it yourself."

Facing the crowd kneeling on the ground, Liu Qilin's eyes were dark and he said coldly.

"Your Excellency is discerning, and you are lowly in your duties...... He Huang Jiao, who was originally a Ming courtier, besieged the city by the Tartars the year before last, and the lowly rank was coerced by the officials, so he had no choice but to ...... I have surrendered the Tartars, and now that I have heard that the army is counterattacking, the lowly rank no longer wants to be a Tartar eagle dog, so I do not want to run away again......"

As soon as Liu Qilin finished speaking, the chief bookkeeper Gan Cheng immediately responded tremblingly, surrounded by soldiers with knives and guns, and Gan Cheng spoke with a trill.

"Yes, my lord, the lowly rank is willing to do it anyway, and I am willing to take the body of guilt and wait for the ...... sent by the adult" Huang Deren also hurriedly echoed respectfully.

"The little ones obey the orders of the adults and are willing to serve the adults......"

"Willing to serve the ...... adults"

A cadre and a servant lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, but blindly agreed, and a few timid ones were so nervous that they were like sifting chaff.

"Okay, in that case, you wait for the account of the tiger, and we will calculate it later...... If this matter is done, I could have considered a light sentence. ”

Liu Qilin's eyes were slightly softened, and his tone was a little flater.

"Thank you, Lord Kaig...... Your Excellency, the lowly rank will first present the Yellow Book, and what will you do next, and follow your instructions......"

As he spoke, Gan Feng frequently glanced at a household official named Qian Tianfu, who raised his head when he heard the sound and hurriedly raised a stack of yellow books in front of him.

Since Gan Feng and Huang Deren did not escape, a group of small officials naturally took them as the main backbone, so before the Ming army entered the mansion to search, several people led by these people had already met and discussed the matter anyway.

Seeing this, a soldier stepped forward to take the yellow book and dedicated it to the case, Liu Qilin was about to look through it, and when he saw Liu Xulei coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Liu Xulei roughly flipped through the yellow book, was shocked when he saw the numbers on it, frowned, looked up at Gan Cheng and asked, "What's the matter, there are only more than 30,000 households left in Nanchang Mansion?" ”

Before the war, Lin Xiao confessed to him that the reason why he wanted him to go to Jiangxi for a long distance was to cut off the retreat of the Qing army in Fujian, another important reason was that Jiangxi had a large population, and it was easiest to use this place as the starting point for the recovery of several southeastern provinces, and it was easiest to raise people and military rations.
