A small town near Hexian Port in Houjiang Province, surrounded by green rice fields.

In the middle of the town, under the arch woven by flowers, Pan Hao personally put on a gemstone necklace for the bride and kissed it affectionately.

The witnesses in various military uniforms in the audience smiled and applauded.

Satis took Pan Hao's hand and whispered, "Do you have to go to the mainland?" ”

"Yes. I'm sorry, but I've been waiting for this day for 15 years. ”

The bride couldn't cry, and her friends thought it was tears of joy.

After the wedding, the friends put on military caps, and many rushed directly to the troops.

Pan Hao has 7 more days of vacation than them.

In the early morning of the day of farewell, Pan Hao picked up his luggage and walked out of the house, leaving his wife who was secretly sobbing.

After re-enlisting, Pan Hao became a cavalry lieutenant, and his 8th Dragoon Regiment was the last unit to board the 2nd Infantry Division.

A week later, the cavalry regiment arrived at Yingchao Port at the mouth of the Changjiang River in Qiongxi.

The transport ship is connected to the barge, and the war horse goes ashore directly from the wide gangplank through the barge, and there is no need to lift it out of the cabin.

Pan Hao lay on the side of the ship, looking at the military camp with the military flags fluttering in front of him, and could not hide his excitement.

Battalion after battalion, troops from Nanyang landed in various ports in Qiongxi one after another, and majestic military songs were sung everywhere.

The western Qiongxi region is the driest in Hainan and is least affected by typhoons.

Mobilized women toiled in factories to complete the final gunpowder orders.

Operation Infinite Justice, using the 2nd Infantry Division, 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Brigade, Guards Regiment, Dianbai Independent Regiment, 1st Heavy Cavalry Brigade, and 1st Independent Heavy Artillery Battalion.

The troops were reorganized in Jonesy with two headquarters of the Expeditionary Force and the 2nd Division.

In order to increase operational flexibility, the infantry regiment under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Division was the backbone, and two brigade-level detachments were established, the 3rd and 4th.

After the completion of the formation, the 1st Mixed Brigade had 4 infantry battalions, the 3rd Sikh Hussar Regiment, 2 light artillery companies, 1 battalion of baggage soldiers, 1 company of engineers, and 1 company of chasseurs directly under it.

The 3rd Mixed Brigade has 4 infantry battalions, the 4th Houjiang Chasseur Regiment, 2 light artillery companies, and the rest of the auxiliary units are similar to the 1st Brigade.

The 4th Mixed Brigade has 4 infantry battalions, the 5th River Bend Chasseur Regiment, and 2 light artillery companies.

The 5th Mixed Brigade has 4 infantry battalions, the 6th Hainan Hussar Regiment, and 2 light artillery companies.

The Dianbai Regiment has 2 infantry battalions and 1 light artillery company.

The Guards Regiment has 2 infantry battalions, 2 squadrons of cavalry lancers, and 1 cavalry artillery company.

The 1st Heavy Cavalry Brigade has 2 cuirassier regiments and 2 cavalry artillery companies.

The 2nd Division Headquarters directly administered the 8th Dragoon Regiment, 1 mounted artillery company, and 1 field heavy artillery company.

The Expeditionary Force Headquarters is directly under the jurisdiction of the 7th Kuching Chesse Cavalry Regiment, 2 field heavy artillery companies, and 1 independent heavy artillery battalion.

In total, 20 infantry battalions, 30 cavalry squadrons, 18 artillery batteries.

In addition, the Marine Corps has one regiment, which is temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the military department.

The units did not reach the theoretical full strength, and with the addition of the service detachments, the whole army had a total of 44,000 men and 141 guns.

There are 4 million rounds of ammunition and 50,000 shells in reserve, in addition to auxiliary equipment such as sanitary equipment and boat and bridge equipment.

Such a large amount of material reserves was an unprecedented test for the staff headquarters at the army and division levels, and there were many mistakes and omissions during the distribution period. Fortunately, it was still early before the start of the war, and there was still a lot of time for corrections, and as the run-in between the various units and organs deepened, the mistakes were slowly decreasing.

The subordinate units of the expeditionary force were not all in Hainan, the 5th Qiongxi Mixed Brigade was on the Yulin front, and the Dianbai Regiment was on the Moyangjiang front. The Dianbai regiment can not move, and the Hainan brigade must be withdrawn.

The first phase of Operation Infinite Justice began with the Hainan Brigade. Andrei's brigade defeated 4,000 battalions led by Quan Jie, the general army of the right wing of Tatar Guangxi in the first battle of Yulin, and then withdrew to Leizhou along the Nanliu River for reorganization.

Zhou Luqing mobilized a total of 1,600 people from Hainan, including the superintendent standard battalion, the governor standard battalion, and the city guard battalion, to arrive in Haikang, and then the Ming army carried out a series of transfers and reinforcements.

Ming Army Guangxi Side:

In this way, in Qinjiang, Tatar, Guangxi, the left flank of the capital is all in front of the whole section, and the Ming army has 500 people from the 2nd town of He Huchen's training army, Li Yuanyin, and Bingbei Dao, a total of 6,000 people.

In front of Yulin in the Nanliu River, the Ming army has the 4th town of Zhang Shijie's training army, the 5th town of Zhou Jintang's training army, and the troops directly under the governor Xie Yuanbian, a total of 6,000 people.

The Ming army in Guangdong:

The 1st Town of Jin Shiying's Training Army, the 3rd Town of Yang Qianqing's Training Army, and the Dianbai Regiment are the core backbones, located on the front line of the Moyang River, with a total of 14,000 soldiers in the local defense army.

The rear army, including Xian Qiyu and Li Mingzhong, was sent to reinforce the mountainous area of the northern front, where the defense army and the rebel army were the mainstay, and the number was difficult to count, and it was estimated that there were 7,000 people.

Li Laiheng has 3,500 people, directly under the jurisdiction of Zhou Luqing, and has a total of 5,000 people in the standard battalion, as a reserve in the Haibei Theater.

After considering the order, the 7th Chasseur Regiment was sent to cross the sea and strengthen to the front line of the Moyang River.

Since Houjiang Prefecture was greatly enriched with grain, the shortage of grain in Hainan was completely resolved, and the mobilization rate of the Ming troops in various departments was higher than before.

If the autumn harvest can be achieved in a stable manner and the reserve troops can be mobilized, the strength of the Ming army can be increased in defensive operations. This is also the reason why Operation Infinite Justice Phase 2 operations were placed in the winter, allowing the Federal Army to concentrate more field forces.

The troops are making final pre-war preparations.

The rules of law were very contradictory by Zhou Luqing's request.

There are pros and cons to everything, and the benefits of agreeing to Zhou Luqing's request and Zeng Ying's dying wish to accept the official position of the Ming Dynasty are obvious, which is conducive to the rebuilding of an organized central court.

Shou Xiang thought about it for a long time and had some tendencies, but he still needed someone.

Danzhou Hongzhi Academy, blue tiles and white walls, bamboo forest wood.

Fang Yizhi, who is over half a hundred years old, and confidante Li Xueyi have lived here for 8 years.

For 8 years, Li Xueyi did not have any name.

Keeping the order and Huixiang light car is simple, and visiting the door.

A bamboo pavilion, a row of long Xuan, more than ten green bamboos stand in the courtyard, and they are rising.

The furnishings in the room are simple, several sets of wooden ones have collapsed, and a few silk curtains hang down from the beams, which is very good.

The ink treasures of the late superintendents Zeng Zhonghan and Fang Yizhi hung on the wooden wall, and of course Li Xueyi himself was indispensable.

The furnishings are the same as the old Nanjing courtyard 16 years ago.

Shou Xiang held Hui Xiang's hand, it was the cocktail party 16 years ago, Shou Yu met Song Huixiang, met Fang Yizhi, and met Li Xueyi.

Song Huixiang stroked the zither and played a song, and the snow clothes were harmonized with the pipa.

Keeping the order to replace wine with tea, "Brother Mi, the first cup, we respect Sun Lin." ”

Fang Yizhi: "There are also Yang Wencong and other loyal ministers who were martyred.

"In the second cup, we respect Ge Ruifang, Fang Zhisheng and Zhu Yuye, and respect their extraordinary temperament.

Hui Xiang broke the strings and covered his face with his sleeves.

Fang Yizhi sighed, "The third cup, toast your army." ”

Li Xueyi saw that the men were going to talk about things, so she took Song Huixiang out.

Shou Order: "Brother Mi, I advised you to take up a half-official position in Hainan back then, and you said that unless I accept the official position of the Ming Dynasty, you will not be an official, I want to ask, is this sentence still valid?" ”

"Fang Mou is true to his word."

Shou Xu nodded, "Very good, please make some preparations for Brother Mi and follow me to Qiongshan." ”

Fang Yizhi smiled, "The prison country is under your control, what kind of official do you plan to make yourself, regent?" I'm afraid it's not suitable, Sun Kewang has already taken the King of Qin, Li Dingguo has taken the King of Jin, and there is no bigger country. ”

"The prince is meaningless, the big country and the small country are the remnants of the Shang and Zhou dynasties' tradition of not being noble and cheap to this day, I don't need it."

Fang Yizhi raised his head, "Capture the general? Oh, no, Li Chengdong has hung up as a general, and Dingguo also has it. Do you want to reopen the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and hang the seal of the Great General? ”

"It was indeed one of the options I considered, but I gave it up."

"What's that? I guess, the special entry Guanglu doctor Zuo Zhuguo Taifu and the crown prince's Taifu, the commander of all walks of life to restore the soldiers and horses to hang the general's seal? ”

Shou Xuan smiled, "I can't remember so much, I only think about reopening Zhongshu Province for the time being." ”

Fang Yizhi was a little surprised, "You want to restore the prime minister?" ”

Shou Xiang raised the teacup and took a sip, "It's a book order." ”

Fang Yizhi nodded, "Sima Zhao's heart." ”

Obey the order and do not answer.

China's bureaucratic game has never changed from the Han Dynasty to the Red Dynasty, and the name of the institution has been changed without changing the medicine, and the spiral evolution has been repeated.

The inventions that emperors thought they were geniuses were actually boring and stupid actions that were repeated countless times by the ancients.

Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Hanlin Academy, Cabinet, and Military Aircraft Department are all secretarial institutions of the emperor's advisers. With the exception of the Hanlin Academy, which was interrupted due to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, due to its proximity to imperial power, other secretaries became de facto prime ministers and administrative heads in operation.

Subsequently, the emperor developed a new secretarial body, usurping the power of the previous secretarial organ and becoming a new administrative organ, and the cycle was repeated without stopping. Zhongshu Linghe Shizhong in the Northern Song Dynasty has gone from being a powerful prime minister to a step forward and has become a rare high-ranking official.

The Southern Song Dynasty directly had a prime minister, and there was no Chinese book order.

The Ming Dynasty opened the state of Zhongshu Province and Xingzhongshu Province, and there was a prime minister who did not set up a Zhongshu order.

Shou Ling will become the first and only Chinese book order of the Ming Dynasty so far.

"What position are you giving me?"

"Zhongshu Youcheng, Zhongshu Province currently only has 1 deputy position for you."

"Why me?"

"I need someone with high prestige and qualifications, who understands China and Yixue, and you are the most suitable."

Fang Yizhi was silent for a long time, "I accept it." ”
