"Change your surname?" Li Zicheng was puzzled for a while, who in the Han people does not respect their ancestors? Changing his surname, that is, he doesn't even want his ancestors' anymore, is there something unspeakable about Zhu Zhihong? "Why did you change your surname?"

"The Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates were originally children of the clan, and they only knew about collecting wealth and enjoying themselves on weekdays, and they never thought about it for the people," Zhu Zhihong said with a gloomy face: "Since joining the Tianming Governor's Mansion, the subordinates have only seen the benevolent heart of the Metropolitan Governor......"

“……”

"Since the subordinates were worshiped by God and inspired by God, they really realized their previous ignorance," Zhu Zhihong continued: "But the Ming clan is still living a drunken life and dreaming of death, and the subordinates are ashamed of the same clan as them, including the one in the imperial city, so the subordinates must change their surnames and ask the Metropolitan Governor to fulfill their ......."

Li Zicheng felt strange, did he inspire Zhu Zhihong, or did God inspire him? You can't deliberately confuse yourself, right?

If you deceive yourself, what can you achieve? Escape? Zhu Zhilu, the king of Taiping, and Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang, didn't they let them go? As a result, when he returned to Beijing, wasn't he "clicked" by Zhu Youzhen? Zhu Zhihong has already served in the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, even if he is let back, can Zhu Youzhen exempt him from the death penalty? He won't go all the way back to Beijing to lead his death, right?

It won't be the matter of Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, and Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, that scare him, right?

Since it's not something else, it's easy to do, and it doesn't matter who you are inspired by, the result is the same.

Li Zicheng looked at Zhu Zhihong's eyes, and seeing that his gaze was extremely clear, he was even more convinced of his judgment, "But, Zhihong, once you change your surname, you will not be able to return to your ancestry!" ”

"The subordinates hope to change the word 'Zhu' to the word 'Di'," Zhu Zhihong said: "This not only does not forget the original, but also distinguishes it from the Ming clan!" ”

"Sit down and talk first!" Li Zicheng couldn't decide for a while, so he asked Zhu Zhihong to sit down first to buy himself a little time to think.

"Yes, Grand Duke!" After Zhu Zhihong sat down, he looked at Li Zicheng with a look of anticipation.

Li Zicheng thought about it left and right, and felt that Zhu Zhihong's change of surname would have a hundred benefits and no harm, and even the Ming clan's clan had taken refuge in the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and he had to draw a clear line with the imperial court, who else could trust such a court?

He laughed and said, "Since Zhihong's mind has been decided, and Bendu has approved it, from today onwards, you will be Zhihong!" ”

"Thank you, Dadu!" Yi Zhihong wanted to kneel down again, but was stopped by Li Zicheng, "Zhihong, these false courtesies are not needed, the governor of Bendu congratulates Zhihong, starting from today, embarking on a new life." ”

Chen Dahu also congratulated Di Zhihong, who just arched his hand and couldn't say anything, but in his heart he knocked over the five-flavor bottle, what it tasted like, only he knew.

Li Zicheng hurriedly diverted the topic, "Zhihong, is there anything else that needs to be reported?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor," Di Zhihong regained his senses, "The Metropolitan Governor, Hainan Mansion and Xining Mansion have been to the south, and have been connected with Longyou, although the traffic is inconvenient in the middle, but the people still agree with the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, but the three counties of Tongren, Jianzha, and Zeku that have just been established do not know whether they belong to Hainan Mansion, Xining Mansion, or Longyou ......"

Li Zicheng took out the marching map he carried with him from his arms, asked Yi Zhihong to circle the approximate location, looked at it, and immediately frowned.

This area, whether it is assigned to Xining Province or Hainan Province, is too far away, and it is located south of the Yellow River, so the management is really unchanged.

There is no need for Yi Zhihong's introduction, Li Zicheng knows that it must be a vast and sparsely populated area, mainly a nomadic life, and even if there were originally Han people on the land, they have long been assimilated by different races and forgotten who their ancestors were.

With such a large area, it is really inappropriate to allocate it to Xining, and Xining cannot afford to drag it down......

Li Zicheng thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, so he said: "Among these three counties, which line has the largest population?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, it's Tongren County!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "These three counties are independent of one government, since Tongren County has the largest population, the city of Tongren is placed in Tongren, yes, Tongren Mansion, this name is good!" ”

"Tongren's Mansion?" Yi Zhihong patted his head and said happily: "It's still the governor who thinks about it thoroughly, and his subordinates rack their brains, but they don't know which mansion is suitable for them......"

Li Zicheng chatted with Chen Dahu about Xining Mansion again, and Chen Dahu's biggest headache was that although Xining Mansion was rich, all the counties under its jurisdiction were basically farming people, except for Huangyuan County, there was not much population in the county, let alone commercial taxes.

Di Zhihong is also confused in a similar way, the entire Qinghai Province, and the city of Xining Mansion is better, and the rest of the places, even Sanchuan Mansion, are hopeless.

Li Zicheng is temporarily unable to solve these problems, Xining Fucheng, because of the opening of many factories, so it has developed abnormally, and now is only the beginning stage, and it is not able to radiate the county seat under its jurisdiction, let alone the foreign government.

Radiation is not impossible, but it takes time!

Li Zicheng's current energy is mainly in Lanzhou Prefecture, whether it is cultivated land, population, or geographical location, Lanzhou is far superior to Xining, so financial, manpower, and material resources are mainly invested in Lanzhou Prefecture, and even Xining can only maintain the status quo, not to mention the counties within its jurisdiction.

Li Zicheng told him that of the 80,000 yuan he had just allocated, 40,000 yuan of which belonged to Xining Prefecture, and that no matter how much the cement road from Xining to Huangyuan County was to be repaired, he could decide on his own whether it was to build roads to Beichuan County in the north and Nanchuan County in the south, or he could choose to set up factories and open commercial houses.

Chen Dahu turned his worries into joy, and even called the governor wise......

Leaving the provincial government, Li Zicheng took his own soldiers to the barracks for a working meal, and went down to summon Zhou Bin in the barracks.

"Subordinates knock on the Grand Governor!"

"Get up, take a seat!" Li Zicheng was anti-guest, sat on the main seat, and then gave Zhou Bin a seat.

This kind of thing, in Zhou Bin's eyes, is a matter of course, what Zhou Bin has to think about is the issue of warfare, knowing that the Metropolitan Governor came to Xining, he knows that the Metropolitan Governor's temperament will definitely summon him, so he has already thought about it.

Li Zicheng said: "General Zhou, the fifth battalion has increased by 5,000 households, are the soldiers complete?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the soldiers have been put in place, and now a separate regiment has been formed," Zhou Bin said loudly: "Don't worry, before the Metropolitan Governor has formed combat effectiveness, his subordinates will not combine veterans with new recruits, and the veterans still maintain their combat effectiveness and can fight at any time!" ”

"Haha, that's good," Li Zicheng laughed, feeling that Zhou Bin was too nervous, so he said: "General Zhou estimates, how long does it take for recruits to complete the basic training?" ”

"This time, Lord Shen allocated to these soldiers under his subordinates, the training was relatively normal in the past, so it is necessary to complete the basic drill training......" Zhou Bin glanced at Li Zicheng and said: "If the rifle can be installed in time, the subordinates estimate that the maximum time is one month, and the rifle can be trained!" ”

"A month?" Li Zicheng frowned and said: "General Zhou, military affairs are not child's play, you must not be in a hurry, if the basic skills, military discipline, ideology, etc. cannot be trained completely, once the soldiers appear on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced!" ”

Zhou Bin suddenly got up, gave a military salute to Li Zicheng, and said, "Don't worry, the governor of the capital is not a hairy boy, and he can distinguish the importance ......."

"You sit down first," Li Zicheng looked at Zhou Bin carefully, nodded frequently, and said, "I understand, you are not satisfied with being stationed in Xining, do you want to go to the front line in Sichuan?" ”

"Dadu Governor Mingjian," Zhou Bin said with a smile, "The fifth battalion is the army that has endured the most vicious battles, and it should appear on the battlefield, not recuperate in the rear...... Governor, come to Xining these days, the brothers are about to get sick! ”

"I think you're sick, right?" Li Zicheng pointed at Zhou Bin's nose and said: "Xining is the foundation of the Mandate of Heaven's Governor's Mansion, which is related to the survival of the Mandate of Heaven Army, in the west and north, there are alien cavalry that we can't control, I trust you, so I put you in Xining, but you have so many fancy intestines, encouraging soldiers to fight, and you are dissatisfied with the military orders of the Governor of Heaven, you ...... Are you guilty? ”

Although Li Zicheng's voice was not high, his tone was extremely strong, and Zhou Bin was so frightened that he immediately left his seat and fell to the ground, "The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates should not ......"

"There's nothing wrong with asking for battle, but it depends on the timing," Li Zicheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced two steps, and said in a deep voice: "Even the tiger cavalry and the wolf cavalry know, 'all actions are under command', could it be that you, the commander of the fifth battalion, have forgotten the military discipline of the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Subordinates don't dare, subordinates ......" Although it was cold and windy outside, fine beads of sweat had oozed from Zhou Bin's forehead, and the sweat was mixed with mud and plaster, making a wall of dirt on his forehead.

"Even after joining the Heavenly Mandate Army, you can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, why are you still so impetuous?" Li Zicheng said: "The victory or defeat of the war lies in the hearts of the people, you are the main general, but you have complaints, if you go to the battlefield, how can the brothers be united?" In the past, Xiningwei couldn't even deal with dozens of Mongolian cavalry, have you forgotten? ”

"The subordinates should die, ask the capital to punish ......"

"Reprimand?" The more Li Zicheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and said sharply: "If the battle is lost because of the main general, and the brothers are innocently killed and wounded, can you afford it......

Li Zicheng scolded Zhou Bin severely, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and then said coldly: "Get up, don't wipe the mud off your forehead, let the soldiers see it, what are you talking like?" ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, Governor!" Zhou Bin took out the face towel, wiped the mud off his forehead, put it behind his side, and bowed down to listen to the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor.

Li Zicheng didn't have any instructions, but said lightly: "Tell me, why don't you want to stay in Xining!" ”

Zhou Bin bowed and said: "The subordinates obey the military orders of the Grand Governor, stay in Xining with peace of mind, and train the recruits as soon as possible......"

Li Zicheng interrupted directly and shouted: "Speak from the heart!" ”
