Sun Chuanting asked to go to Shuofang to take up his post immediately, but Li Zicheng did not agree, "Lord Sun, there is still one thing that needs to be done, and perhaps Lord Sun is the most suitable for this." ”

"Please, the Governor!"

"Qin King Zhu Cunji!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The Qin Palace's Mansion is still surrounded by heavy troops, at this moment, I don't want to have innocent casualties, after all, everyone is Han!" ”

"Did the Metropolitan Governor let his subordinates go to persuade him to surrender?"

"For Zhu Cunji, surrender is the best way out," Li Zicheng said: "If I am still the last time, I will leave him the necessary living materials, a small number of shops, and the land calculated according to the number of people!" ”

"At this time, if King Qin can't see the situation clearly, he will be looking for death!" Sun Chuanting said: "The subordinates conveyed the good intentions of the Grand Governor to the King of Qin!" ”

"Master Sun, don't rush to Shuofang, when Xi'an is stable, I will also go north, and we will go together when the time comes!" Li Zicheng sighed and said: "I am from Mizhi, I haven't been home for many years, this time I come to Xi'an, I have to go back to see!" ”

Sun Chuanting knew in his heart that Li Zicheng would definitely not stay in Shaanxi for too long, and with the current momentum of the Heavenly Mandate Army, I am afraid that he will soon attack the Beijing Division, and there will not be too many opportunities to go to Mizhi in the future......

"In addition, Lord Sun went to Shuofang alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to manage the local nomadic tribes, I asked Wang Genzi to select a thousand households of soldiers from the defenders in the city, they don't have much to worry about, as Lord Sun's personal guards, this time will also accompany him," Li Zicheng said: "Lord Sun can select a military general to be their thousand household officials!" ”

"Thank you, Grand Duke!" Sun Chuanting suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "The metropolitan governor said that these soldiers selected have no worries in Xi'an, and they will settle in the local area in the future?" ”

Li Zicheng nodded, and said: "Let's talk about the situation when the time comes, if possible, I hope that these soldiers can settle down in the local area, and with authentic Han people, they can speed up the local sinicization," after a pause, he said: "If these soldiers are willing to settle in the local area, Lord Sun must arrange their lives, land, houses, farm tools, seeds, and even mother-in-law...... Lord Sun, if the soldiers are allowed to marry local women, through in-law relations, will it be possible to speed up the local sinicization? ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head, "The Metropolitan Governor is strategizing, and his subordinates will definitely remember the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor and do a good job in this important event that is beneficial to the future of China!" ”

Li Zicheng returned the salute and said with a smile: "Lord Sun can also choose a deputy, and it is easy to discuss and deal with things," and then sighed leisurely: "Lord Sun should accompany Mrs. Sun these days, go to Shuofang, and there will not be too many days to go back to Xi'an in the future!" ”

Sun Chuanting's old face turned red and said: "Governor Dadu, his subordinates are from Daizhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, if possible, his subordinates hope to let their families return to their hometown in Daizhou to settle down!" ”

"Taiyuan Prefecture Daizhou?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, Lord Sun, it won't be too far, I promise here, as long as possible, I will definitely have someone escort your family back to Daizhou!" ”

"My subordinates have thanked the Metropolitan Governor first!" Sun Chuanting bowed his hand, "My subordinates will go to the Qin Palace!" ”

Li Zicheng summoned the commanders of each battalion separately, except for Wang Shaoyu of the Shuntian battalion, who was besieging the palace, and only the seventh battalion of Song Wenbu was left in the city, and the rest of the battalions had to be moved outside the city to minimize the impact of soldiers' training on the lives of the people in the city.

Liu Yunshui's cavalry, stationed in the west of the city, was also tasked with attacking the prefectures and counties west of Xi'an, and Li Zicheng knew that at this time, the prefectures and counties basically did not need to attack the city, and the cavalry was just making a show, using the speed to bring the entire Xi'an Prefecture under the rule of the Mandate of Heaven as soon as possible.

Ma Youshui sent a message from Fengxiang: Xue Yingying, the same governor of Longzhou, was appointed as the new governor of Longzhou; Tang Mengkun of Baoji Zhixian County was able to stay in office; The army marched to Fengxiang, and the history of Dong Shangzhi opened the door and surrendered, and the former prefect Tang Shiming was able to stay in office, and the states and counties to which Fengxiang Mansion belonged were all surrendered to the wind......

Ma Youshui asked Li Zicheng what the next direction of the 6th Battalion would be......

Li Zicheng looked at the letter from the earliest pro-soldier captain, and felt a lot in his heart, the two had not seen each other for seven or eight years, Ma Youshui meant, naturally hoped to come to Xi'an.

Considering the overall situation, Li Zicheng still gave up, and he wrote a personal letter to Ma Youshui, ordering him to temporarily station in Fengxiang Mansion and his subordinate counties, and this side will send Liang Bing, a civil deputy envoy, to assist him in restoring order in Fuzhou County as soon as possible.

Li Xin also sent back a message that north of Weishui, the counties under Xi'an Prefecture were all looking down on the wind, and there was not much fighting at all!

Li Zicheng seems to understand: Xi'an City is broken, and even Xi'an is besieged, the prefectures and counties to which they belong will lose the meaning of fighting. The allegiance to the emperor and the capital division are gone, and they are still fighting fart?

He pondered for a moment before replying to Li Xin, asking him to immediately attack Qingyang Prefecture and its subordinate prefectures and counties with the Independent Regiment, leaving Li Ji's fourth battalion to slowly march north along the official roads of Yaozhou and Tongguan County, and wait for him to go north.

Niu Jinxing came forward to persuade him to surrender, Sun Chuanting set an example in front, and all the captured civil and military officials in the city surrendered to the Heavenly Mandate Army, and Li Zicheng summoned these officials in the Baoan Wangfu and began to form the Shaanxi Provincial Government.

Feng Shikong, the governor of Shaanxi, was appointed as the new governor of Shaanxi, with overall responsibility for the civil affairs of Shaanxi; According to the procurator, Huang Jiong continued his original work, and was appointed by Li Zicheng as the president of the Shaanxi Provincial Court, in charge of the province's judicial organs; Gong Yan was appointed as the president of the Shaanxi Supervision Yuan, supervising the civil and military officials of the province.

The new Shaanxi Province is basically the eastern part of the original Ming Dynasty Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Division, excluding Gansu Province and Qinghai Province, which have become independent provinces.

Hanzhong Mansion, which was originally assigned to Xichuan, was returned to Shaanxi Province.

Li Zicheng once heard Guo Shijun say that from the geographical point of view, Hanzhong should obviously belong to Sichuan, but Sichuan is surrounded by mountains, and the core area has the rich Chengdu Plain, which is easy to have a tendency to support troops and even become independent, and Hanzhong is the outer gateway to the north of Sichuan.

If Hanzhong belongs to Sichuan, Sichuan's territory will be more closed, easy to defend and difficult to attack, on the contrary, Hanzhong belongs to Shaanxi, it is equivalent to the north of Sichuan on the steel knife, if Hanzhong hoards the attacking Shaanxi heavy troops, it is easy to climb over Bashan, deep into the Chengdu Plain at the core of Sichuan.

When the Heavenly Mandate Army took Hanzhong that day, the whole of Shaanxi was still in the hands of the imperial court, and there was no way, Hanzhong could only belong to Sichuan.

Now Shaanxi has become the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Hanzhong naturally wants to come back, however, the terrain of Hanzhong is too narrow and long, Li Zicheng went to Henan from Hanzhong that day, and found that Hanzhong Mansion and Xing'an to the east of it are completely two basins, and he has long had the idea of splitting Hanzhong.

Today's Hanzhong Mansion was divided into Hanzhong Mansion to the west and Xing'an Mansion to the east.

Hanzhong Prefecture is subordinate to one state and seven counties: Ningqiang Prefecture and Baocheng County, Chenggu County, Yang County, Xixiang County, Feng County, Chu County, and Luoyang County; Xing'an County was upgraded to a prefecture, with jurisdiction over six counties: Ziyang, Shiquan, Hanyin, Xunyang, Pingli and Baihe.

Li Zicheng temporarily appointed Song Qijiao as the prefect of Xi'an, and Wu Congyi, who was familiar with the land and population of Xi'an, served as the director of taxation to temporarily assist Song Qijiao in registering the population and allocating land, and Cui Erda was appointed as the president of the Xi'an Provincial Court.

After the formation of the provincial government and Xi'an Mansion, after they went through simple training and brainwashing, they went to work, Li Zicheng only had a moment of leisure, he took He Xiaomi, and personally went to select his own soldiers among the troops.

Li Zicheng planned to increase the establishment of 4,000 households and form a pro-corps, but the number of soldiers who met the requirements was insufficient, and he recruited some young and strong people from the common people.

He Xiaomi became the head of the pro-corps, still with the rank of guerrilla general, and the original thousand-household officer Lu Yang continued to hold his original position, but the thousandth household he led was a cavalry equipped with rifles, the most elite, two Cong Zheng and Mason from Qianhu, and two Baihu officials Ma Shiyao and Liu Jin, who were also promoted to Qianhu officials.

These pro-soldiers needed strict drill training to cultivate loyalty to Li Zicheng, and for the time being, they did not join forces with the original pro-soldiers, but trained separately outside the city.

With Xi'an, Li Zicheng felt that Lanzhou, where the Mandate of Heaven was located, was too remote, at least not conducive to the future Northern Expedition to Beijing, and after careful consideration, he decided to move the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion to Xi'an!

Li Zicheng immediately summoned Liang Wencheng of Lanzhou, asking him to move the Mandate of Heaven to Xi'an, and the personnel who served in the Mandate of Heaven Military Governor's Mansion should also move to Xi'an.

The Firearms Bureau came to Xi'an to produce all kinds of firearms nearby, and the Fifth Battalion accompanied them, which could not only help carry them along the way, but also protect the relevant equipment of the Firearms Bureau.

Gansu Province has carried out road construction for several years, basically there are cement avenues at the county level, and then the road construction team is going to come to Shaanxi to build cement avenues, the first road in Li Zicheng's heart is from the Guguan City in Longshan, all the way to the east, through Xi'an and then directly to Tongguan East-West Avenue.

Shaanxi's cement avenue will definitely not be this one, and the north-south avenue will be built in the future.

Li Zicheng will not go to Lanzhou for the time being, and the ladies of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will also come to Xi'an with the transport team!

After all this deployment was completed, Li Zicheng summoned Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin, Zhu Cunmuji, the younger brother of the king, and Zhu Fu, the prince of Qin.

Being able to save their lives is already a great happiness for these clan members, which is something that many local clan members never dared to think of before.

Zhu Cunji not only gave up the Qin Palace, but also sent a battle message to the Ming court: ...... Shiyi time shifted, the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty plagued the world for a long time, and Li Zicheng, the governor of the Mandate of Heaven, advocated righteousness in the sky, and relieved the people from fire and water......

Such Zhu Cunji, Li Zicheng naturally had nothing to say, according to the agreement with Sun Chuanting, he left them rich materials, as well as some shops, and the land was according to the per capita figure of Xi'an Mansion, and all the people in the clan were treated equally with ordinary people.

Li Zicheng did not arrange specific positions for them for the time being, but only asked Zhu Cunji and his son Zhu Fu to move to the Wangfu of Wangyang County in the southeast corner, and the younger brother Zhu Cunmucao to move to the Wangfu of Yichuan County in the southwest corner.
