After taking a group of civil and military officials to live in the prefect's yamen, this prefect's yamen became Li Xuan's new palace!

In the past few years, the palace of the Tang Dynasty has been changed many times, from the Li family manor in the era of the first emperor Lierbi, to the palace made of simple bamboo and wood in Huangzhu Mountain.

There are also a number of temporary palaces in the middle, and then to the prefect's yamen in the current Xingquanfu City.

The Tang Dynasty moved the capital to Xingquan Mansion, and this prefect's yamen naturally became Li Xuan's palace.

It's just that the prefect's yamen is a little dilapidated, and there are traces left over from the war, and even the gate has been destroyed, which has to make Li Xuan complain about the strange rules of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't like to build the official yamen, but wants to emphasize and maintain the tattered state of the official yamen.

It was a prefect's yamen, as dilapidated as a dilapidated house, Song Zhiwen was not afraid of living in this kind of house, and suddenly one day the house collapsed and buried him alive.

The Tang Dynasty naturally did not have the strange rules of the Ming Dynasty that were in tatters, and Li Xuan was still very concerned about the safety of the place where he lived.

As soon as he arrived at this new 'palace', he had already quietly instructed his guards to send people to repair the palace as soon as possible, and there was no need to make a big deal of construction, but at least he didn't have to worry about the house collapsing when he lived in it, so that he could rest assured that he would take the Empress Dowager Bai and Empress Dong Yunyun over.

To be honest, if it weren't for the political status of the prefect's yamen, Li Xuan would prefer to find a large family's house in the city as a place to stay.

Putting aside the matter of the new palace, Li Xuan quickly summoned the ministers in the lobby of the prefect's yamen, but this summoning did not have much practical significance, mainly to say some words of encouragement and the like, as for the actual affairs, they had already made detailed plans before they entered the city.

The relocation of various departments and the follow-up internal affairs work have already been planned, and it is enough to go into the city and do it step by step.

So soon Liu Bagou and they just dispersed, and then began to work intensely and hecticly, they wanted to establish an effective administrative rule in this completely foreign place to them, which would involve a lot of complicated affairs, at least for most of the next half a month or even longer, they would be busy and dizzy.

Compared to their busyness, Li Xuan is leisurely!

As an emperor, what he has to do is to arrange the task without going into battle in person, and arranging the task is a matter of moving his mouth.

As the saying goes, the boss retreats and the subordinates break their legs, which is the current Tang Dynasty.

After entering the city, although Li Xuan was excited for most of the night, he still took advantage of the gap after entering the city to sleep, and he slept lazily!

When he fell asleep, he also had a dream, at first he dreamed that countless Ming troops rushed to Xingquan Mansion overwhelmingly, and he also led the army to resist and fight, which was to hit a huge city in front of it, and as soon as the scene changed, he saw that his army had broken through this huge city.

Wearing a particularly handsome military uniform, he rode a tall horse into this huge city in the cheers of countless people, and after walking for a while, he looked up, only to see the three big characters in front of him dazzling 'Forbidden City', and then he just laughed!

It's a pity that I woke up with a smile and couldn't enter the Forbidden City to see what the old man looked like.

What is this called, this is called waking up with a smile in a dream!

The next day, until more than nine o'clock in the morning, Li Xuan woke up and came out of the room after freshening up.

However, Li Xuan can sleep lazily, his courtiers don't have such a good life, whether it is Liu Bagou or Hao Bonian, these generals, they all have panda eyes and look very tired.

But tired is tired, but everyone is smiling, even Liu Bagou, who has always been pretending to be serious, is also smiling.

Li Xuan walked in and sat on a wooden dragon chair brought over with the army, feeling like those who were promoted to the court, especially the guards next to him who sang: "Go to the court!" "And so it was.

It's a pity that no one shouts mighty, otherwise it would be more like.

But how can the upper court be compared with the last dynasty, when the upper hall is in the court, no one will shout long live long live to the officials, long live long live, but in this court, Liu Bagou led the civil and military officials to kneel down together, and then shouted Long live long live long live.

Listening to the ministers shouting long live, Li Xuan couldn't help but muttered in his heart, no wonder so many people like to be the emperor, this feeling of being an emperor is indeed cool.

However, although the Datang Dynasty has been established for more than two years, most of the time before it was to play the family again, and it was really on the right track, in fact, it was only in the last half a year, so there were not too many messy rules.

Even though it doesn't seem formal, it's more efficient!

As soon as he went to court, no one was talking nonsense, and soon under the leadership of Liu Bagou, he began to report on various affairs.

First of all, I will talk about the situation of the various cabinet departments, they entered the city with the army last night, and this big night is not only to settle down, but also to come up with solutions to many affairs as quickly as possible.

Li Xuan listened to them one by one, but he didn't interject too much, most of the time he would nod slightly, indicating that it was feasible, and occasionally he would raise an objection, such as the Ministry of Taxation proposed to immediately rectify the merchants in the city and let these merchants pay taxes according to the regulations, even if Li Xuan rejected the proposal, he put forward the opinion of postponing.

Now that he has just occupied Xingquanfu City, he directly takes money from the money bags of the big merchants in the city, which is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

Now for the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is to stabilize the position, and then expand the army and train the army, with enough guns in hand, it is convenient to do anything in the future.

This is the merchants in the city to rectify and collect taxes, don't worry, wait for ten days and half a month, anyway, this silver is in Xingquanfu City, are you still afraid that the silver will run away!

Li Xuan didn't take much care of the affairs of other departments in the cabinet, but he directly intervened in the Ministry of War, because the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, together constituted the military force of the Tang Dynasty.

The military department in the Tang Dynasty was responsible for military and political affairs, while the Privy Council was responsible for military order affairs.

At present, the military department has an extremely important task, that is, to recruit new soldiers, and recruiting new soldiers is their most important task for the military department of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also their most important power.

This is because the power of training, operational command, and even logistics is directly vested in the Operations Division, Logistics Division, Equipment Division, and other departments under the Privy Council, and even the meritorious examination and promotion of officers are also the responsibility of the Privy Council's Quanxu Division.

In this way, the power of the military department is relatively small, and there are two more important points, one is the payment of salaries, and the other is the recruitment of soldiers.

However, today's Datang New Army does not pay salaries, at most it is just to give a little money to settle down, so the power of salary payment is equal to nothing, and the only power is to recruit new soldiers.

According to the military system of the Datang New Army formulated by Li Xuan himself, the Datang New Army, whether it is the departments under the Privy Council or the troops, has no power to recruit new soldiers, and even has no power to supplement prisoners of war to the troops.

This power is exclusive to the Ministry of War!

Although the salary payment has not yet been paid for the time being, the Datang New Army will always need to pay the soldiers in the future, and the right to pay the salary will be directly controlled by the military department, so as to avoid the interference of generals at all levels, avoid eating empty salaries, and even embezzle salaries, or use salaries to collect soldiers' loyalty.

These two restrictions are due to Li Xuan's efforts to control the fact that the scale of the troops will be larger and the scope of operations will be larger, and the troops will recruit troops on the spot and control the salaries and salaries with a small treasury, thus creating a situation in which the soldiers will be the generals.

He wants to control the soldiers and salaries from the source, and he will not give the generals the right to recruit soldiers and pay salaries.

Even if this causes some negative effects, such as the inability to replenish the personnel losses of the troops in a timely manner, and the difficulty in replenishing new recruits, etc., it is not hesitant to hesitate.

In many cases, the ruler sees the army, although its combat effectiveness is important, but loyalty is more important.

An elite army that is not loyal is definitely not as important in the eyes of the monarch as an army that is weak but loyal.

Combat effectiveness and loyalty, Li Xuan will not hesitate to choose loyalty!

After talking about the trivia, it was naturally the turn of the generals of the military to sing the leading role, and at this time, except for Qian Mengjiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Ma Wei, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, the other cabinet officials all left together.

Although Qian Mengjiu and Ma Wei are dressed in the skin of civilian officials, they are doing military business, and they have participated in this important strategic meeting.

In this strategic meeting, in addition to discussing the rest of the troops, clearing the remnants of the city and quickly recruiting new soldiers, the most important thing was to send troops to Lianhe County.

"According to our intelligence, there is a thousand households stationed in Lianhe County itself, but the main force of this thousand households has been transferred to Lanjiang by Song Zhiwen before, and the rest are just hundreds of old and young and weak, even if they can recruit some young and strong, but there is no need to worry!" When Zeng Ziwen said this, he was full of confidence.

The three Lanjiang battles before and after have already made Zeng Ziwen fully realize the combat effectiveness of his own army, and to fight a small company and county, he doesn't even need to send the main battalion like the first infantry battalion over, just go to a battalion at will.

But who will be the commander of that force?

But when Zeng Ziwen and the others were surprised, Li Xuan did not directly transfer a battalion to Lianhe County, but directly ordered to transfer one or half a team from each battalion, and directly formed the fifth infantry battalion, and attached a platoon of grenadiers, archers, swords and shields, and even let them bring two 500-pound guns.

Although the Fifth Infantry Battalion has just been established, because all the units are veterans drawn directly from the battalions, except that the teams are not familiar with each other well enough and there may be problems in coordination, in fact this is a mature unit.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xuan finally decided to transfer Wang Danxu to serve as the battalion officer of the Fifth Infantry Battalion, and at the same time as the commander of this unit, with full responsibility for attacking Lianhe County.

The newly established Fifth Infantry Battalion can be regarded as the prelude to the official large-scale expansion of the Datang New Army, and this time, Li Xuan wants to expand the scale of the Datang New Army to 10,000 people!
