Chapter 659: The Day of Becoming a King
With the adjustment of the army in place, the Huaxia army as a whole has shown a new look, showing a vigorous development and thriving situation, and at the same time, Zhang Qiang also officially ascended the throne as the king of Huaxia in the capital of Jinling Prefecture.
After ascending the throne as the king, he canonized the queen Zhu Panpan, the princess Kong Sizhen, and Li Zicheng's wife Gao was also named the princess, which surprised everyone, no one thought that now in his prime, Zhang Qiang, the governor of the king's wolf-like year, would look at other people's wives and Gao, who was much older than him, which caused a lot of gossip for a while.
But this is not the point, many people's gossip has just been said by the Ministry of Civil Affairs vigorously suppressed, many officials because of private criticism of the princess was severely punished, lost their official posts, the officials of the Ministry of Supervision are not all day long, they are black bread dukes, after so many years of development and reform, and many trainings, the officials of the Ministry of Supervision have been in the officialdom like a furnace of law enforcement, iron selfless, establish their own image, now many Chinese officials dare to play with the generals, dare to and the boss to thunder, dare to do a lot of things that dare not do, However, I am afraid to see the officials of the Ministry of Supervision, and when I see them, I will tremble like a mouse and a cat, and no matter how powerful I was in the past, when I see the officials of the Ministry of Supervision, I will become like a schoolboy who has made a mistake in front of the teacher.
Zhang Qiang adopted Li Zicheng's son as an adopted son and named the king of the county, which completely solved Gao's worries, and then Gao gave birth to a prince for Zhang Qiang, and Kong Sizhen gave birth to two little princesses for Zhang Qiang, and Zhu Panpan gave birth to a prince and a princess for Zhang Qiang.
The ministers of the court are also very happy, His Majesty the King has so many children, they don't have to worry about the future of the Huaxia Kingdom, for a time the Huaxia Kingdom from top to bottom is happy, full of energy, so that the people of the Huaxia Kingdom are also happy about the rule of the Huaxia Kingdom, everyone is in the heart, and the righteous name of the rule from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and finally identified with the Huaxia Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Qiang held a meeting with the cabinet for a few days, and now the cabinet meetings have been moved to the palace, the palace of Jinling Mansion is the palace of the previous dynasties, Wei Wuji has begun to repair and transform the Jinling Mansion since he took it, and the original gloomy palace has now become splendid, brightly lit at night, and full of popularity.
Now the cabinet is in the Huagai Palace, in the Fengtian Hall in the last dynasty, Zhang Qiang himself works in the Jinshen Palace, lives in the Qianqing Palace, the queen is in the Kunning Palace, the two princesses and princes, the princesses live in the six palaces behind, leaving some old eunuchs in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty and some newly recruited little eunuchs to serve, but whether it is the palace maids, eunuchs, or guards, civil officials, etc. in the palace is not large, a total of only more than 300 people.
The guards alone account for one hundred and eighty people, all the soldiers and horses of the guards, the guards are in the barracks outside the palace, close to the palace, and can be transferred into the palace at any time, there are fifty eunuchs and sixty-eight palace maids, which greatly reduces the expenses of the royal family, and during the day, the guards will send a battalion or so of soldiers to patrol the palace, close the palace gate at night, and there is a battalion of soldiers who rotate guards on the city wall, and the guards are responsible for patrolling and guarding the palace.
The palace is guarded on all sides by the troops of the pro-guard regiment, and next to them there are troops directly under the headquarters of the garrison headquarters stationed to guard, who are jointly responsible for patrolling and guarding the outside of the palace, mainly the pro-guard regiment.
At the same time, there are also invisible intelligence personnel security camps of the Ministry of Civil Intelligence and the Ministry of Military Intelligence stationed on the periphery, there are not many people, but their eyes are like cameras, observing the pedestrians and soldiers who peep at the palace from the streets outside the palace every moment, once they find that the person has a little bit of interest in the palace, they will immediately dispatch people to secretly arrest and interrogate, if it is just an unintentional move, it can generally be released in a week, if it is an enemy spies, killers, needless to say, the interrogation is cleared, not thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, After three months, the lightest punishment for these people is to be thrown into a hard labor camp, and the heaviest punishment is to be dragged to a secret place for execution, and the corpses are thrown into mass graves outside the city.
This situation makes the mystery and coercion of the palace show up again in the capital, and no one will approach the palace walls without anything, it is simply looking for death. The nearby streets outside the outer walls of the Imperial Palace were managed by the Kyoshi Garrison Headquarters, where the yamen of the troops directly under the Kyoshi Garrison Headquarters were stationed, and within a mile there were sixteen assigned garrison companies around the Imperial Palace.
The streets within the Beijing Division were under the responsibility of the garrison regiments under the jurisdiction of the garrison brigade, each garrison regiment had 2,000 men, and was responsible for the defense and patrol of a five-mile area.
The garrison regiment had three battalions, each with 600 men, each battalion was responsible for one direction, the southeast, northwest, and the regimental headquarters of the garrison regiment was responsible for one direction.
There were four battalions of 600 men each, the headquarters of the garrison regiment was 500 men, the garrison regiment was in the center, and four battalions were in four directions.
The Beijing Division had a total of two garrison brigades and six garrison regiments, with a total strength of 15,000 troops.
As for the ordinary security on the streets, arresting bandits, and handling cases, those belong to the local government yamen, and the yamen of the prefect of the Jingshi Prefecture are responsible.
The Guards Division was stationed in the barracks outside the city, responsible for the field battles of the Beijing Division or attacking the enemy, and was transferred to the Beijing Division to protect the Beijing Division at an emergency moment.
However, this is only the 1st Guards Division, the 2nd Guards Division is not currently reorganized, it is still the 3rd Guards Brigade, the 4th Guards Brigade and two brigades, one brigade is stationed in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the other brigade is stationed in Xianju County, and the Beijing Division is surrounded in the north and south directions.
On the water, the Yangtze River Garrison Naval Division is still in charge, the East China Sea Division is still in charge of the sea outlet, the First Fleet of the First Naval Division of Huaxia State is on the garrison, and the Second Fleet is transferred back to the base camp of the Hangzhou Prefecture Naval Division to guard the maritime defense line.
In fact, if you look at the Jinhua center, there are still some cabinet officials left behind, as well as a garrison brigade, as well as 50,000 recruits in the recruit training camp, 5,000 grassroots officers in the military academy, 600 middle-level officers, and 80 reserve officers at the rank of adjutant general in the general training class, you will know that the strength of the Huaxia Army is still very large.
In addition, the headquarters of the punishment battalion was moved from the center of Jinhua to a corner of the capital city of Jinling Prefecture, where there are 2,000 soldiers and 600 officials of the headquarters, and there is also a 3,000-strong punishment battalion combat regiment stationed outside the city, as well as 1,000 officers and soldiers of the militia headquarters, they manage nearly 10,000 soldiers who have been punished in the army for not very serious crimes, and 10,000 prisoners, once these forces are mobilized, there will be 200,000 troops near the capital in an instant, and they are all elite-level soldiers and elite-level low-level officers.
With so many troops, Zhang Qiang of course enjoys his days as a king with peace of mind, taking a walk every day, chatting with his wife and children, shopping, dealing with official business after he comes back, and then sleeping beautifully, as if there is nothing to pursue in this life.
There is Wei Wuji in the war, and the staff headquarters is in charge, the civil affairs have Zhou Congee and Jin Sheng, You Haibo is in charge, and his wealth is sorted out by Zhu Dayou, he doesn't even need to manage the yamen affairs of the few ministries he manages, several departments do their own thing, if there is something, the ministers of each ministry will convene, and then everyone will sit down and talk, and the matter will be solved, he will take a look at what has happened recently, what things have to be dealt with recently, and then call Wei Wuji, Mi Lin, Huang Tao, Zhou Congee, Jin Sheng, You Haibo to discuss, They can come up with ways to solve those things.
