On the 22nd day of the lunar month, heavy snow fell.

On this day, Song Xiance, the prime minister of Dashun State, Niu Jinxing, the right prime minister, and others led the family to launch a coup d'état, rushed into the palace, and killed the two sons of Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun State.

Li Zicheng fought with one man and one sword and died in a battle with the chaotic forces.

Song Xiance randomly ordered all the defenders of the eighteen gates of the capital of Dashun State to lay down their arms and surrender to the official army.

Li Zicheng's henchman, Mao Shisuo, the general of the old battalion, and others were not convinced, suspected of being overbearing, and raised troops to resist, causing riots.

After a night of fighting, in the end, all thirteen generals including Mao Shisuo were killed, and thousands of soldiers under his command were slaughtered.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, in the small year of the lunar calendar, Song Xiance personally led the civil and military officials to open the city gate, and went out of the city to surrender to Di Qing, the commander of the Ming army, and the two of Baishan, and the Dashun Kingdom was destroyed.

After Di Qing led the army into the city, after taking over the city defense, he immediately issued a notice to stabilize the order.

On the second day, Di Qing ordered the collection of the remains of Li Zicheng, the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, and his son, and reported them to the regent of the imperial court Jiang Chuan with an expedited horse of 800 miles.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the messenger arrived in the capital to inform Li Zicheng's death and the destruction of the Great Shun Kingdom, the capital was boiling, and the prestige of the regent Jiangchuan was even more grand, and everyone in the government and the opposition praised it.

The next day, the regent Jiangchuan ordered Li Zicheng to be buried with princely gifts, and the coffins of his father and son were transported to his hometown of Mizhi County in northern Shaanxi for burial.

At the same time, he ordered Shaanzhou to restore the imperial court regulations, set up the Shaanxi political envoy, and the general of the expedition to the west, Baishan, temporarily acted as the political envoy, and set up Yan'an Mansion, Xi'an Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, Yuzhou, Shangzhou and other six prefectures and three prefectures, a total of dozens of counties.

The prefects of each prefecture are appointed by the imperial court officials to serve as the chief officials and the second officials of the prefecture. The county magistrates may be temporarily appointed by Bai Shan, the political envoy, at his discretion.

After the prefects of each prefecture take office, if the prefects of each county pass the examination, they can continue to stay in office. If it is inappropriate, the prefect will report to the political envoy for approval before making the appointment.

and ordered to exempt Shaanxi Province from taxes for three years in order to appease the heart of Li Shu. At the same time, he ordered Yuzhou, Jinzhou and other neighboring provinces to mobilize and raise grain and grass to transport to Shaanxi to relieve the people, and not a single person would starve to death.

In addition, he ordered Baishan, the political envoy of Shaanxi, to arrange for the army to reclaim the cultivated land that had been barren due to the war by the method of tuntian, and encouraged the people to reclaim the wasteland. Whatever is borderless, it can be cultivated. After reclamation, it is private land after filing with the government, and can enjoy the benefits of exemption for three years.

All prisoners of the surrendered Dashun Army, if they are interested in joining the army, can join the army after passing the inspection, and after retraining, they can join the National Guard or the Wehrmacht according to the results.

If they are unwilling to join the army or fail to pass the inspection, they will be transferred to the household to regain the people, reclaim wasteland, and renew themselves.

This series of orders caused the panic and anxiety caused by the demise of the Great Shun Kingdom in Shaanzhou quickly disappeared, the people's hearts gradually settled down, and the people began to re-fear the imperial court.

Di Qing, the general of the expedition to the east, led an army of 500,000 into Hanzhong Prefecture, on the one hand, to train troops in Tuntian, and on the other hand, to prepare for the attack on Shuzhou in the spring of the next year.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan issued a decree for the comprehensive reorganization of the National Defense Force and the National Guard.

A total of seven major theaters were established in the country: the Liaodong Theater, the Gyeonggi Theater, the Western Theater, and the Jiangnan Theater. Southwestern Theater of Operations. Central Plains Theater, Southeast Theater.

Originally, it was planned according to the ten major theaters, but later, due to the shortage of generals and the shortage of funds, it was finally changed to the seven theaters.

Marshal Ran Wu of the Liaodong Theater of Operations, Marshal Shanjia of the Gyeonggi Theater; Marshal of the Western Theater of Operations, Baishan; Marshal Di Qing of the Southwest Theater of Operations; Marshal Yue Pengju of the Jiangnan Theater. Marshal Chu Yunfei of the Central Plains Theater; Marshal of the Southeast Theater of Operations, Bai Mu.

The 1st, 2nd, and 47th armies of the Wehrmacht were expanded, each of which was expanded to 30,000 troops, and the supplementary troops were recruited and trained from the garrisons.

At the same time, each corps is responsible for forming and training 10 divisions of the National Guard, each of which has a total of 10,000 soldiers.

Among them, the enlarged First Army and its 10 National Guard divisions were subordinate to the Southeast Theater, all of which were commanded by Marshal Bai Mu of the Southeast Theater and guarded the Southeast Region. These ten divisions are numbered from the 1st to the 10th Division.

The enlarged Second Army and the 10 National Guard divisions it formed and trained were subordinate to the Jiangnan Theater and commanded by Yue Pengju, Marshal of the Jiangnan Theater, to guard the Jiangnan region. These ten divisions are numbered 11th to 20th respectively.

The expanded 47th Army and the 10 National Guard divisions it formed and trained were subordinate to the Central Plains Theater and commanded by Chu Yunfei, Marshal of the Central Plains Theater, to guard the Central Plains. These ten divisions are numbered 21st to 30th respectively.

The army under Ran Wu, the former general of Zhendong, was reorganized into five national defense armies, each with 30,000 people. Among them was a cavalry corps. The numbers are the Third Army to the Seventh Army of the Wehrmacht, of which the Seventh Army is the All-Cavalry Army.

At the same time, it is responsible for the formation and training of 20 National Guard Reserve Divisions, each with 10,000 people. The numbers are the 31st to 50th Divisions of the National Guard.

The above five armies and 20 National Guard divisions were all subordinate to the Liaodong Theater and were commanded by Marshal Ran Wu of the Liaodong Theater to guard the Liaodong region and deter the three Korean countries and the Mongolian ministries.

The 38th Army stationed in the Gyeonggi area was expanded into a 100,000-strong group army with three infantry divisions, an artillery brigade, and a cavalry brigade. At the same time, it is responsible for the formation and training of 15 National Guard divisions, each with 10,000 people.

From the 51st Division to the 65th Division of the National Guard, all of them were assigned to the Gyeonggi Theater and were commanded by Marshal Shan Jia of the Gyeonggi Theater, guarding Gyeonggi and defending the Gyeonggi Division.

The Western Theater reorganized three Wehrmacht armies, each with about 30,000 troops, numbered as the Eighth Army, the Ninth Army, and the Tenth Army of the Wehrmacht.

In addition, 20 National Guard divisions were formed and trained, numbered from the 66th Division to the 85th Division, with 10,000 men each, all of which were commanded by Marshal Bai Shan of the Western Theater to guard Shaanxi and Jin.

The Southwest Theater was reorganized into four armies, each with 30,000 troops, numbered the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th armies of the National Defense Force.

It was also responsible for the formation and training of 30 National Guard divisions, each with 10,000 men, numbered from the 86th Division to the 115th Division.

According to the plan, after the completion of the formation, the total strength of the entire national defense force will be about 550,000, and the number of divisions of the national guard corps, which will be the local garrison force, will be 115, or 1.15 million according to the standard of 10,000 men for each division.

The two armies together combined amounted to 1.7 million men.

A force of 1.7 million people is indeed not much for the huge Zhongzhou Continent. However, Jiang Chuan plans to take the route of elite soldiers, and if everyone is accepted, it will not be too difficult to form an army of more than three million.

But it's hard to say how many of them will be able to fight.

Li Zicheng is the best negative example, in his heyday, he could engulf millions of people to sweep the world. But what about in the end?

According to the division of tasks in Gangcheon, the Wehrmacht was responsible for defending various places, and its main responsibility was to defend against foreign invasion and carry out external expansion.

As a local garrison, the main responsibility of the National Guard is to maintain local order and stability. Generally, there are bandits and bandits, and when the government needs to encircle and suppress them, it is the duty of the National Guard.

Of course, in the event of a major war, the National Guard would serve as a second-line force to assist and cooperate with the Wehrmacht in fighting the enemy.

All of the above are the army and navy, and the original naval division was upgraded to the navy, and two major fleets were formed, namely the Eastern Ocean Fleet and the Western Ocean Fleet. Each fleet has three sub-fleets.

The original Admiral Deng Shichang was promoted to Marshal of the Navy and still commanded the navy.

After the establishment of the Seven Theaters and the Navy, the base camp of the imperial court must also be established accordingly.

In the center of the imperial court, Jiang Chuan set up the Supreme Commander's Office and led the Supreme Commander.

The Supreme Commander's Office is under the jurisdiction of the General Staff.

The General Staff Department is under the jurisdiction of the General Office, the General Staff, the Army Department, the Navy Department, the Logistics Department, the National Defense Mobilization Department, the Military Intelligence Department, the Hanging Mirror Department and other yamen.

As the name suggests, other divisions can understand their responsibilities, but the Hanging Mirror Division is more special.

The Hanging Mirror Division, which takes the meaning of hanging the mirror high, is a picket, supervision, examination, negotiation, and execution agency in the army set up by Jiangchuan, which is mainly aimed at picketing, supervision, trial and execution of military personnel who violate laws and disciplines, and can be said to be a magic sword hanging over the heads of all soldiers.

The highest commander of the General Staff is the Metropolitan Governor, who is served by Hu Zongxian, the former governor of Jiangnan.

The original functions of the Black Ice Observatory were merged into the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff Department. In addition to the chief officer, each department is composed of many staff officers and clerks.

It is winter now, except for Shuzhou, which has not been pacified, and other places are basically calm, which is the right time to reorganize the army and conduct training.

Through the reorganization, the complete system of the entire army has been basically established from top to bottom, and the skeleton is basically complete, and the rest is to adjust and supplement on a small scale.
