Xi'an City, suppress the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.

"According to the military information transmitted by Ma Shilong, after being transported by Zhou Yuji's department, Li Zicheng and more than 5,000 other rogue soldiers finally arrived in the Indochina Peninsula after five months." Chen Qiyu held a command baton in his hand and pointed to the incomplete war sand table in front of him.

According to the outline in Zhao Zongwu's memory, the operational staff of the sand table was only completed in the Liaodong region, the peninsula region, the Wadao region, the small half of the South Seas, and the outline of the Ming Dynasty.

Because many of the deployments made by Zhao Zongwu are not simply related to local matters, in many cases, the various deployments he makes are connected.

Just like what Chen Qiyu reported this time.

There's a lot involved in this.

If Li Zicheng wants to arrive in Indochina Peninsula as scheduled, he must cooperate with Jinyiwei, Penglai Chamber of Commerce, the accompanying army, the Jizhen army, the Huaxia Navy and other forces.

If there is a problem in one of these links, it will lead to the failure of the deployment that Zhao Zongwu wants to complete, and even let Li Zicheng escape.

Don't look at Li Zicheng under Zu Dabi, he doesn't have any advantage, but once he escapes to other places in the Ming Dynasty, it will be a different world.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "At this stage, Li Zicheng has arrived in the Indochina Peninsula, and the follow-up measures must be put in place. ”

"Grandpa Guo, don't worry about this." Chen Qiyu said with a smile: "In order to really suppress the forces under Li Zicheng's command, the Navy Headquarters sent a marine, and in the early stage, it will follow Li Zicheng's side, and when his troops lead the army to capture the city to which they belong, I will ......."

Listening to Chen Qiyu's description of various clamping systems, Zhao Zongwu listened carefully, although he said that there were many ideas put forward by him, but the specific arrangements were planned and arranged by Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou and other staff members of the department.

And after more than half a year of combing, all the rogues in Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Xi'an Mansion have been cleared. The second and third groups of rogue forces have already been transported out through the territory of Jizhen, and this time the area they arrived in formed a north-south distribution with Li Zicheng's department. ”

Zhao Zong nodded and said: "For the matter of the Liukou transporting the Indochina Peninsula, the authority of supervision will be assigned to the command of the Navy Headquarters, since then the Staff Department has acted as a coordination, and the geographical gap is too large, resulting in the delay of intelligence, even if there are many problems, it cannot be dealt with in the first time, so it is better to let the Navy Headquarters have jurisdiction than the direct jurisdiction of the Staff Department."

Of course, although it is said that the authority of the staff department has become coordination, the details of the supervision and deployment of the development of the rogue must be reported to the government every three months, and at the same time, the import of the Rogue from the Indochina Peninsula must still be maintained during this period. ”

When devoting oneself to an arrangement, time passed like flowing water, and without Zhao Zongwu noticing, the second year of Chongzhen passed quietly.

The precipitation of more than half a year has made the foundation of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion in Shaanxi increasingly consolidated, because in the territory of Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Xi'an Mansion, water conservancy facilities have been rectified, reservoirs have been built to store water, and abundant grain has been planted.

Especially in the past half a year or so, the newly formed legions have been formed in groups, and the remnants of the bandits and bandits that have appeared in the territory have been carefully eradicated, which has made the forces under the commander-in-chief's office so peaceful.

Chen Qiyu said: "Yes, Grandpa Guo, the next lowly position will be under the General Staff Department, and the corresponding organization will be set up to be responsible for the affairs of the Indochina Peninsula." ”

"Grandpa Guo!"

As soon as Chen Qiyu's words were finished, a sound sounded from outside the house, which made Zhao Zongwu frown slightly, and muttered: "At this time, Jiandou came to the Shuai Mansion, could it be that something happened?" ”

Because Zhao Zongwu advocated the separation of military and government, such a system was also implemented in Shaanxi, and Chen Qiyu, who was beside him, bowed down and said: "Grandpa Guo, there are still some things to deal with in the hands of the lowly position, so I will retire first." ”

"Go, in addition, you have to urge Wu Xiang and Wang Chaochen to train the officers of the local garrison army, which need to be formed, although our army has formed a corresponding local garrison system in Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Xi'an Mansion, but such an officer scale is still far from enough."

Chen Qiyu said: "It's Grandpa Guo." ”

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng walked in in a hurry, and when he saw Chen Qiyu who turned to leave, the two nodded slightly.

"Xia Guan has seen Grandpa Guo."

When Lu Xiangsheng walked in front of Zhao Zongwu's eyes, he bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite, what happened to Jiandou when he came to find his father?" Zhao Zongwu waved his hand, and then asked.

"The lower official does have something to tell." Lu Xiangsheng's expression was slightly excited, and his tone was even more excited: "According to the standards set by the General People's Government, the water conservancy facilities in Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Xi'an Mansion are now all connected!"

Because the water conservancy facilities prepared by our army are based on the entire Guanzhong and Shanxi regions, it is inevitable that there will be some problems at the beginning, but with the subsequent transfer from Liaodong, more than 50 talents for water conservancy construction have also greatly improved the speed of the rectification of water conservancy facilities in Yulin Mansion, Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Xi'an Prefecture. ”

After listening to what Lu Xiangsheng said, Zhao Zongwu immediately stood up, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Okay! All right! The completion of the preparation of water conservancy facilities in this place will definitely have great benefits for the spring ploughing that is about to begin.

Next, according to the actual situation of each province, the reservoir excavation and construction in each province can be summarized, and the ability to store water and discharge floods must be ensured to ensure that there will be no drought and flood in Guanzhong and Shanxi in the future! ”

Although it is said that in the administrative system, the prefecture-level power has been abolished, but when it comes to specific arrangements and deployments, Zhao Zongwu and the others will still make corresponding arrangements according to each prefecture.

More importantly, after more than half a year of precipitation and development, Zhao Zongwu and Lu Xiangsheng have found a group of officials who are capable of taking on important responsibilities, so this prefecture-level regime has also reached the stage of re-establishment.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "Grandpa Guo, rest assured, the General People's Government has begun to formulate corresponding plans, but the scope of this preparation for the construction of reservoir facilities is very broad after all, but the highest power in our local area at this stage is at the county level, and it is inevitable that there will be a rift in the middle." ”

"This point is really important." Zhao Zongwu smiled and said: "When I first came to Shaanxi, because of the Liukou, the local government system has been almost destroyed by them.

In addition, there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and in order to ensure that the local government can return to its normal trajectory, this prince ordered the abolition of the prefecture-level government.

And after this period of development, our army has found a group of officials who are enough to serve as a government at the provincial level.

Since it is necessary to prepare for the construction of reservoir facilities this time, then Jiandou can work with the General People's Government to dispatch the corresponding officials to prepare for the establishment of a prefecture-level government. ”

The valuable experience accumulated in Liaodong made Zhao Zongwu very clear in his heart, but whenever there was a major chaos in a place, remember not to be in a hurry.

Even the most cumbersome methods will delay a lot of things in the process, but as long as it is conducive to stability, it can be sacrificed.

And once it is said that there is enough power under this command, then the corresponding power construction can be formed immediately.

Stability is more important than anything else!

"It's Grandpa Guo." Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Next, the lower officials will work with the General People's Government to screen the corresponding officials, and after the general list is determined, it will be handed over to the grandfather of the country as soon as possible.

Prefecture-level officials are not as good as county-level officials, although it is said that the General People's Government controls the entire place, but the specific personnel rules, the lower officials are still not as thoughtful as the grandfather of the country. ”

Although Zhao Zongwu handed over the power of appointing officials to Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng knew very well in his heart that he could not touch this power, and if he even touched this point, then he was a little too ignorant.

Besides, seeing this, some people may still be confused, shouldn't the territory recovered by Zhao Zongwu and the power of appointing officials be a matter of the imperial court?

How could Lu Xiangsheng not understand this?

"That's good! Now that a serious rebellion has broken out in Shanxi, this makes it impossible for the imperial court to understand the situation in Shaanxi. For Lu Xiangsheng's sensibility, Zhao Zongwu also praised it very much in his heart.

In the second half of the second year of Chongzhen, although it was said that the tragic uprising wave broke out in Shanxi, Zhao Zongwu adhered to the deployment arrangements he had made at the beginning.

Such a decision also made Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong make great progress in Shanxi.

"And Jiandou." After saying this, Zhao Zongwu then said: "For the grain and grass baggage of the eleven legions under the commander-in-chief's mansion, it will be a lot of hard work for you during this time, and the soldiers of the legions under his command have almost expanded during this time, and I am afraid that they will continue to fight next." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Grandpa Guo, don't worry, as long as it is used for the war against the Liukou, even if the lower officials are tired to death, they will definitely not cut off a mouthful of food for the soldiers in front!" ”

Because of the ideas instilled by Zhao Zongwu from the beginning, this also made the officials who worked under him have long lost the original disdain mentality of the Ming Dynasty.

For them, to engage in different things, it is an honorable thing.

The sense of honor, which is also what Zhao Zongwu has been trying to achieve, after all, the era he wants is an era in which all the people are proud!
