Zhang Jun left Kunming, but the news spread several times faster than his trip. Burn? Wen??? ??．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ?ａ`ｃｏｍ

The prime minister of the military and political affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, gave the sword to the palace, did not tend to enter the court, praised and worshipped the nameless, added nine tin, the prince and the prince, the fake Huang Yue, and the king of Qi in the prison.

In the Ming Dynasty, when the emperor led the army, there were examples of the crown prince or the emperor's younger brother temporarily taking charge of state affairs. By the time of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the prison country had become a step before the prince became the emperor. Hongguang, Longwu, Yongli, even if there is only a lot of time, it is always inevitable to take this step.

Yongli's holy decree added all the courtesies that he thought could be added, lest Chen Wen would be dissatisfied because of something missing.

When the holy decree was issued, Zhang Jun passed it to Nanjing through the secret reporting system of the Military Intelligence Department as quickly as possible, and the other forces also saw the situation clearly and then took action. Letters of abstinence were sent to Nanking from all over the southwest, and by August the emissaries had pretended to be overcrowded with the post houses in Nanjing.

"Feng Shuangli, King of Qingyang in Guizhou, and Bai Wenxuan, King of Gongchang, expressed their willingness to listen to His Royal Highness the Prison State."

"Li Laiheng, Duke of Linguo, Liu Tichun, Duke of Wanguo, Yuan Zongdi, Duke of Yasukuni, Hao Yongzhong, Duke of Yiguo, Marquis of Xingping, Marquis of Tongcheng, Marquis Ma Tengyun, Yidu Hou Ta Tianbao and Marquis Hezhen of Qi, jointly greeted His Royal Highness Jianguo, hoping to make a northern expedition to the Central Plains under the leadership of His Royal Highness Jianguo and drive out the Tartars."

"The Zunyi Military and Civil Mansion, the Hanyang King of Chishuiwei, Ma Jinzhong, the Duke of Xuguo, Ma Weixing, the Duke of Huaiguo, the Gonghou Li Rubi, and the Yichuan Bogao Qilong and other feudal towns ask His Royal Highness to be moderate."

Ma Jinzhong, Ma Weixing and Ma Bao are also known as the three horses of the Southern Ming Dynasty, all of whom are the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, especially Ma Bao, whose people and subordinates were later incorporated by Wu Sangui as the general soldier of the Loyal and Brave Battalion, and repeatedly broke the Qing army in the rebellion of the three feudatories.

"Gao Chengen, Marquis of Guangchang, De'an Bodi, Sanpin and others of the Sichuan Xingdu Division, will ask His Royal Highness the Prison State to control the king of southern Sichuan."

"They're pretty quick to change their tunes."

Chen Wen smiled slightly, and the staff immediately replied: "Now that the edict is canonized, they can naturally understand the matter here, and they don't dare to cause trouble to His Highness." ”

Originally, Gao Chengen and Di Sanpin asked Chen Wen to send troops into Yunnan to preside over the overall situation, but when Chen Wen sent an envoy into Yunnan, Yongli immediately issued an edict to canonize Chen Wen as the prison country, knowing that a compromise must have been reached between Chen Wen and Yongli, Yongli was willing to give Chen Wen the name of the prison country, and if it was forced to continue, it would make Chen Wen feel that it would be an eyesore, so he immediately changed his tone. However, in private, the envoys they sent still expressed their dissatisfaction with Li Dingguo, and it is understandable to say that they originally obeyed Liu Wenxiu's moderation.

"Guangxi's envoys from Kuiguo Wang Ziqi, Baoguo Wang Shangli, and Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi have been waiting at the post house for many days, and the three Guogongs have expressed their willingness to accept the adaptation and go to the Zhejiang New Army Martial Arts School to study."

"Well, they have a heart."

Compared with accepting moderation, these people obviously think more clearly, they want to use military power as the price of entering the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming military groups, rather than continue to hold on to military power. In the final analysis, they are Sun Kewang's hardcore, grandma doesn't love uncle, and they have a history of robbing Kunming's inventory and intercepting taxes, so they naturally have to face Chen Wen with a more humble attitude.

"The Renshou Marquis Tan Yi of western Sichuan, the Marquis of Xinjin Tan Hong, the Chengdu General Liu Yao, the deputy general Yang Youcai, Cao Changzuo, Chen Anguo, Zhao Youyan and other generals expressed their willingness to imitate the old example of the king of Jiujiang County and accept the adaptation of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Wang Division."

The trend of changing the dynasty has basically been determined, no matter whether the Northern Expedition is won or lost, the world has nothing to do with the Ming court, it is nothing more than a matter between the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern "Qi". Now that the momentum is now, Chen Wen's chances of victory seem to be greater, when the new dynasty is established, those who still cling to the old military power will inevitably be regarded as outsiders, which is what many generals in the southwest do not want to see.

"Where's Fuhou?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the envoy of the Marquis of Renshou said that the Marquis of Fu is still hesitating, and they are trying their best to persuade them not to cause chaos to the current good situation."

The three Tan of the Sichuan army, who were originally brothers of the same clan, Tan Wen had the deepest qualifications and was more loyal to the Ming court. In contrast, Tan Yi and Tan Hong led their troops to defect in the second siege of Chongqing in history, and even killed Tan Wen, who refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

What they said in their mouths was not to add chaos to the good situation, and in Chen Wen's opinion, there was a lot of ** who wanted to plot against their brother. If this is the case, even if it deters the other Zhongming factions, it seems to Chen Wen that it will be even more obstructive to him.

"Tell the envoy of the Marquis of Renshou, Wanxian Santan, this king has already heard of it, and he can work together to fight against the Tartars, and this king is very envious."

Chen Wen believes that Tan Yi and Tan Hong are not fools and should be able to understand what he means. The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, even if it is unpopular, there will always be people who miss it. To put it mildly, many Confucian scholars who were denounced by the Yuan Dynasty as the lower ninth rate are still nostalgic for their days in the Yuan Dynasty.

People's hearts, interests, and many reasons, Chen Wen does not intend to force it, the general trend is in hand, and the Han family can die one less, especially these heroes who have fought against the Manchu Qing for many years, they should have a better ending, and they should not die in infighting.

"By the way, what's going on with Nan Zhangbo?"

Nanzhang Bowang Guangxing, born in Shaanxi Liukou, was later recruited and became a military general of the Ming court. Long before the various units of the army showed their loyalty to him, Wang Guangxing had already sent people to discuss with Chen Wen about accepting the adaptation. However, in the last two years, Wang Guangxing and the Ming army in Sichuan have not only restored all parts of Sichuan, but also sent some soldiers to be temporarily handed over to Wang Guangxing's command to trouble the Tusi in eastern and western Sichuan, in order to plunder the population to enrich Sichuan.

Chen Wen planned to change the land and return to the stream in the future, but he didn't plan to force the toasts to rebel for the time being, so he simply let Wang Guangxing continue to use the banner of the Ming Court, so that even if they wanted to find it, they could only go to Yongli, and they couldn't find Chen Wen's body at all.

"If you return to His Royal Highness, Nanzhang Bo is still fighting with the toasts of Shi Zhouwei."

"Let him stop for the time being, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and this king has a share of the credit to him, so that he can organize an elite army and go out with the army."

With the identity of the prison state, these Tusi have something to come to Chen Wen to complain, Chen Wen has no time to force them to rebel, let alone pay attention to them, so he simply asked Wang Guangxing to pause for a while, and talk about it later.

In the middle of August, the envoys of the feudal towns arrived, and Chen Wen gathered them together and issued an order that each feudal town should send or lead an elite small army to accompany the army if they were interested in accompanying the northern expedition.

Chen Wen's intention was very simple; on the one hand, it was to win over, and on the other hand, it was also to let these "military observation groups" see with their own eyes the combat effectiveness of the Ming armies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so as to prepare for the reorganization of the Ming armies in the southwest in the future.

At the end of the meeting, the envoys took their leave, and returned to the garrison of the commanders as quickly as possible. Chen Wen was busy after finishing the meeting here and presiding over the meeting elsewhere, but at this time, he saw Zhang Huangyan waiting at the hungry door of the official room.

"Cangshui, what's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prison State"

"In my office, there is no one else, let's call it Furen." Speaking of this, the corners of Chen Wen's mouth curled slightly, and then said, "Unless, you came to me for business, I don't think so." ”

Chen Wen has insight into people's hearts, Zhang Huangyan also sighed, getting along day and night, and understanding each other too well, especially characters like Chen Wen, who can see his plan at a glance.

"Today's affairs are both official and private." Speaking of this, Zhang Huangyan sighed, and then asked Chen Wen: "Furen, now that the public is raging, the King of Jin has been roasted on the fire. How do you plan to treat the king of Jin, can you tell me a word? ”

"Oh, I see."

Chen Wen nodded, and then said to Zhang Huangyan: "Before the Northern Expedition, I will not have anything to do with King Jin. After the Northern Expedition, if the King of Jin is willing to enter the court, I am willing to worship the King of Jin as the protector of Andong and take charge of the Korean garrison; If you don't want to, the king of Jin can sit in Yunnan, and when you are alive, I will not force it. Cangshui, what do you think? ”

"Furen has a heart."

Li Dingguo's existence is a huge threat in itself, and the source of the threat is not only his outstanding military talent, but also his people have a lot of influence in the Ming army of the Xiying system. Now that Liu Wenxiu's death and Li Dingguo's mishandling have been improper, the momentum of the collapse of the Ming army in the southwest has become a success, and it is also a matter of changing the court in the great era, Li Dingguo's influence has dropped significantly, but if Li Dingguo refuses to comply, it is always a big threat, but Chen Wen can do this, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

"Wait, Anton Daduhu, the North Korean garrison? Furen, aren't you going to help North Korea recover? ”

"Why do you want to help them restore the country, and wait for their strength to recover before they come to encroach on the border land of Liaodong?"

Chen Wen was embarrassed to say that he kept the "benefits" of North Korea, such as Changbai Mountain is theirs, Confucius is theirs, Qu Yuan is theirs, even the Zongzi Festival is theirs, and even Chen Wen is theirs if he can't get it in the future, these words are really not good to say to Zhang Huangyan. However, in the Ming Dynasty, whenever North Korea was stronger, it would always encroach on some border land, and even if the logs were spit out in the end, it would never be able to change this stinky problem.

"Okay."

The holy decree will soon arrive, Chen Wenjian's identity will be established, and state affairs will be decided by him, and Zhang Huangyan can't say anything. As for the future, let alone that. Fortunately, Zhang Huangyan had already gotten the answer he wanted, and after a few casual conversations, he returned to the Yamen office of the Criminal Division, and Chen Wen didn't think about these things anymore, but seized the time to rest for a while and accumulate some energy for the next meeting.

A few days later, Zhang Jun hurried back and brought back the holy decree of canonization of the prison state, and Chen Wen also got the name and authority he needed at this stage.

The reform of the official system has been going on for a long time, and Chen Wen obtained the status of a supervisor of the state, so he immediately issued an order to further complete the reform of the official system.

"The prime minister of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of military and political affairs, give the sword to the palace, enter the dynasty and do not tend, praise and worship the nameless, add nine tin, the prince and the prince, the fake Huang Yue, and the king of Qi in the prison has an order:"

"From now on, the six divisions of the Qi Palace's subordinate judges, degree branches, construction, missions, and navy have been upgraded to ministries, and the chief has been renamed Shangshu, and the deputy chief has been renamed Shilang. In addition, there is a Ministry of Rites, and in the past, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was fully responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and was not allowed to encroach on the functions and powers of other ministries. ”

"The name of the Criminal Prison Department remains unchanged, and the rank of the chief criminal officer is the same as that of the Ministry of Justice. The staff officers, military supervision, military law, military training, military quartermasters, military industry, military intelligence, and supervision departments remain unchanged, and the chief of each department enjoys the rank and treatment of the servants. In addition, the establishment of the Lifan Yuan, Dali Temple and other departments of the yamen, each performing its own duties. ”

"Granted, Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of the Jianji Temple, and the first assistant of the cabinet; Sun Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Judges, is a scholar of Dongge University and a deputy assistant to the cabinet; Wang Jiang, a scholar of Wenyuange University, and a deputy assistant to the cabinet; The secretary of the Ministry of Construction Gu Shouli, a scholar of the palace; Zhou Jingting, the secretary of the Ministry of Missions......"

“…… In accordance with the edict of the Son of Heaven, he supervised the military and political affairs of the two capitals and 13 provinces of the prime minister of the king of Qi, and was above the cabinet. ”

After the complete reform of the central bureaucratic system, Chen Wen established a set of bureaucratic system that on the surface did not look much different from the Ming-style cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries system, but this will also be the basis for Chen Wen's further reform in the future. Of course, there is no need to be in a hurry now, when the Northern Expedition is over, the most important thing he lacks will be time, and in his lifetime, he will always be able to adjust the official system to the most conducive to the future.

The decree was issued, and the cabinet and various ministries and yamen, which had already been in the name of the subordinate departments of the Qi Palace, were released one after another, and they became the central court in name only, and had the right to govern the world.

The first auxiliary minister chose to be Qian Qianyi, firstly, to repay Qian Qianyi's strong support over the years, but more importantly, to alleviate the contradictions with the Confucian scholar class. At the very least, Chen Wen did not intend to make a mess until the Manchu Qing Dynasty was settled, and for this reason he would inevitably even postpone the tax reform plan, and there was nothing to be reluctant about the position of a nominal first and auxiliary minister.

Qian Qianyi is also very clear about this, the authority of the Ministry of Rites in charge of him has already been usurped by the Ministry of Missions, but with the age of the old man as the first assistant, it will be the first auxiliary of the founding of a new dynasty, which is also enough.

After several years of hard work and preparation, the Fujian Ming army penetrated deep into Taiwan, the Yongli imperial court collapsed, the Ming army in the southwest fell apart, and the southeastern gentry were also subdued, even if it was temporary, but it was enough for Chen Wen.

Since the recovery of Nanjing, Chen Wen has been preparing for the Northern Expedition, the first thing is to stabilize the south, and now the layout has been completely completed, and the due results have been achieved, the south no longer exists during the Northern Expedition can pose a threat to the forces, and the Northern Expedition is naturally on the agenda.
