"The emperor is so trusted, and the ministers dare to speak?" Lu Zhenfei was quite excited, more than half a year ago, as Huaifu, he saw that the thieves had been marching towards Yanjing, and the imperial court was powerless, Guan Ning could not come out, and the emperor thought that he could defend it, but he was actually sitting in the dead city.

If Yanjing is lost, the next day will definitely perish.

For Li Zicheng, bureaucrats like Lu Zhenfei will undoubtedly not be optimistic, and the Ming Dynasty seems to be irretrievably lost, and it is conceivable that he is depressed.

When the prince arrived in Huai'an, he disposed of Liu Zeqing and his army by decisive means, and recommended Lu Zhen to fly into Nanjing.

At the beginning, I thought that the prince was in the way in Huai'an, but after that, I realized that the prince believed in the deep meaning, and at this time, although the state affairs could not be said to be steaming, but they were also quite promising.

As an official who has been in local politics for many years and is good at actual military and political affairs, is there anything more gratifying than having great things to do, and being able to display his ambitions?

At that moment, he gladly accepted it, and nodded to Wang Jiayan, then he bowed down and took out a piece of paper from the page of his boots, and read aloud by the light of the lamp and candle in the hall: "There is one governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, stationed in Hangzhou, and the pacesetters are divided into three battalions, and there are eight generals such as deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrilla generals, each battalion is 1,853 people, and the supervision standard does not exceed 6,000 soldiers, and more than 1,300 mules and horses. There is one governor of Zhejiang, two battalions of Fubiao, and there are still several deputy generals and other leaders. There was one commander and two battalions. Set up the general army of the two towns of Hai and Quzhou, and the town mark of each has two battalions. Qiantang, Taizhou, and Quzhou, each set up a general army on the left and right roads of the water division, and a battalion for each of the town markers, and ordered the local officials in Zhejiang to immediately build ships and build large trees for shipbuilding purposes. Quzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing and other seven cities, each set up a deputy general, each led a battalion, peacetime training, bomb patrol places, each battalion is more than 44,000 regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers more than 20,000 ding, through the whole province of Zhejiang, the number of soldiers is like this. ”

At present, the number of troops is fixed, and the governor and governor, the governor and the governor are the commanders and commanders, and the commanders and towns are the mobile forces of a province. Zhejiang Province is the governor of the governor of the largest number of officers and soldiers, and the most mules and horses, the reason is also very simple, that is, the governor's direct armed forces are responsible for the mobile forces of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, as soon as there is a warning signal, immediately dispatched officers and soldiers at different levels, at the same time, the governor will also be dispatched according to the situation, rendezvous with Fubiao, town standard, and fight a large corps group to fight.

In peacetime, it is the deputy general of each city of the sub-government, each leading a battalion of soldiers, dividing roads, floods, and ponds, respectively according to roads, rivers, and sub-cards to set up police, and at the same time stationed in the city, the security is very much.

There are bandits, water bandits and other police, sometimes all the way, a message, each stationed commander, leading more than 100 soldiers, can be pressed on the spot. And once you encounter a large group of bandits, or thieves, you will dispatch the co-standard, the town standard, until the governor's supervision.

Setting up police at all levels, reporting to the enemy, ignoring any thief, or dealing with it unfavorably, tracking down layer by layer, with clear responsibilities and demarcation of defense areas, is simply an unshirkable thing.

As is the case in the Ming Dynasty, generals at all levels are divided into commanders and horses, which is equivalent to warlord feudal towns, and the imperial court cannot be remotely controlled, and the original eunuchs or civil officials supervising the army to lead the troops, usually ignore military affairs, and in case of war, the civilian generals will lead the army, how can they win in one battle?

Now there is usually a full-time job, and there is a direct standard battalion, and when the police do not move forward, and the enemy does not come, he will naturally take off the black gauze hat, or directly raid the house and kill the head!

Zhejiang Province, now there are 200,000 or 300,000 registrations, after the reduction of troops, together with the Changfu auxiliary soldiers, there are less than 70,000 people, the local government bears a part, and the imperial court bears a part, so that the Shu can already command Ruyi, hear the alarm and move, and restrain the generals and soldiers with military discipline, and no longer the embarrassing situation of the previous military discipline corrupted, and the generals went their own way and did not obey the command at all.

Chongzhen listened to such a major military and political event very carefully, his eyes were bright, and he simply stared at Lu Zhenfei's expression all the time, until the Minister of Military Affairs finished reading it, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good, very good, meet tomorrow morning, wait for the military affairs to be discussed, immediately transfer to the cabinet Mingfa!"

Chongzhen's handling of this matter, it is simply as anxious as a spark, donating Su is open source, disarmament is throttling, two major events, disarmament also involves the imperial court's control of military generals, since then, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang has used Wenchen to control the military generals of Zhuzhen, and the governor usually controls the associations, and commands at all levels.

Zhejiang's soldiers are more than 40,000 people, Hunan's is more than 30,000 people, Yunnan-Guizhou, because of the need to guard against Sichuan, the two provinces have about 70,000 soldiers, and the total number of soldiers is only more than 100,000!

"Yes, the ministers will come in tomorrow morning, and they will definitely agree to discuss this matter, and the Pope will not be in suspense."

Chongzhen suddenly asked: "Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who has not decided?" ”

"The ministers recommended Chen Zizhuang, when the emperor did not go south in Beijing, Chen Zizhuang had been reinstated as Zhan Shi, and although this person cannot be said to be very knowledgeable, but he is also a generalist, the ministers are vain, please ask the emperor to decide."

"Oh, it's him."

For Chen Zizhuang, Chongzhen was not impressed. However, as Lu Zhenfei and Wang Jiayan discussed, there are really few people who can do things and know soldiers when they look at the world now.

can do some practical things in a down-to-earth manner, and the prestige is enough to suppress Fujian and Zhejiang, Chen Zizhuang is barely qualified.

nodded immediately, and was about to say something more, when Lu Zhenfei's belly suddenly sounded, and his face turned red at the moment.

Wang Jiayan couldn't help laughing, Chongzhen first laughed when he heard it, and then sighed: "I forgot the time!" In the seventeenth year of my reign, the deliberations have never been so thorough and so thorough. It's really strange, it used to be Yang Sichang, and after talking for an hour, I felt that it was very long. It's been more than three hours with Erqing today, and I don't feel the slightest tiredness! ”

Lu Zhenfei said sincerely: "What do you have to offer?" It is all the advice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the ministers are just picking up the missing and filling in the gaps, summarizing the detailed rules, and thinking about it, and they are terrified! ”

Today, I actually received a compliment from the crown prince, and then it was a compromise to talk about things, then talk about salt politics, then talk about donations, and then the new military system suggested by the crown prince.

Huaiyang and other places have long been implemented, but there is the Generalissimo's Mansion, and the general troops of the town associations have not yet been allocated, and there is no governor and governor, just listen to the crown prince.

However, Zhejiang, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces, the redundant officers and soldiers were abolished, the quota of generals was set up, and the governors and governors were divided into commands, and they acted in the face of police, and they usually suppressed the localities.

The original guard system has proved to be useless and can be completely abolished!

In Yunnan, there are many remnants of health centers, and they are reorganized into battalions on the spot, which is also trouble-free.

Feishu has returned, and the matter has reached the stage where it can be implemented.

Government and military affairs are all convenient, and the financial embarrassment can be solved, no wonder Chongzhen is very happy, and even the time for deliberations is forgotten!

However, it is not a good idea to tell the minister to be hungry, Chongzhen smiled, first nodded, and said with a smile: "The prince is far better than me, every time I think about it, I don't seem to be worthy of Emperor Jing, and my son will definitely be better than the Han Wu ...... in the future" While speaking, he shouted: "Come on, send food quickly to the imperial dining room, I want to eat, and also give the two military ministers a meal!" ”

It was dark outside, and the monarchs and ministers were very compatible, and for a while they forgot the time, and they did not say that they wanted to give a banquet, but fortunately, Wang Chengen was very powerful, and he had already prepared for it, and at the same time he greeted the palace gate, so he didn't have to rush to lock it, leaving the way for the two military ministers to leave the palace.

At this time, as soon as Chongzhen ordered, Wang Chengen came in and agreed, bowed down and said: "The imperial meal has already been prepared, and the emperor will arrive in a while." The food of the two ministers was also prepared. ”

Since Chongzhen moved south, he was ten times more frugal than in Yanjing, and his own residence was shabby, and his meals were only less than half of Yanjing.

At that moment, he nodded to Wang Chengen and praised: "It's done very well, and in a while, you will personally send the two ministers out." ”

"Yes, the slave knows and is already prepared."

Now the eunuchs are suppressed, even Wang Chengen is not allowed to pay attention to foreign affairs, in fact, in Chongzhen's opinion, this slave's loyalty and ability, it is very suitable for him to supervise the soldiers and horses of the Nanjing Jingying.

But the crown prince insisted on preventing the slightest, and he could only stop.

When he spoke with Wang Chengen, the two ministers were already lying on their stomachs and began to draft several very important decrees.

Tomorrow morning, together with the foreman minister, he will enter the palace to meet again, and then after polishing, he will send it to the cabinet for Zhu, and use the jade seal, which is the official finalization.

It's just that while discussing, there are also great regrets.

It seems that government affairs, finance, and taxation will improve considerably, and the disarmament of the army still seems to have a big tail that has not been cut off.

Zuo Liangyu is the stamina of the Donglin Party, and the Hubei half of the province is in his hands, and the imperial court will give him a sum of 60,000 yuan, and he will be paid more than 1.2 million yuan.

Gao Jie 30,000, Huang Desu and Liu Liangzuo each 30,000, these tumors are not cut, and the matter of disarmament is far from success.

"Perhaps, the crown prince still has a good plan, right?"

"I hope so. I hope that in a few months, we will be able to compile a list of the battalions stationed in Nanzhili. ”

"It will definitely be, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou are compiled, but they are the forerunners of Nanzhili and Hubei, finance, taxation, government affairs, and military affairs, all of which have improved, and our knowledge is far less than that of the crown prince!"

"However, when you think of the situation in Yangzhou, what about now?"

"The prince doesn't need to worry too much, with the prince himself here, he will be as safe as a rock. As for the aftermath, the emperor has already approved the prince's request, and the rest, that is, according to His Royal Highness's vision, will be carried out gradually in batches. ”

"The emperor is very lucky, the prince is given to me in the Ming Dynasty, and now it seems that Zhongxing is really hopeful."

"So do I."

The two of them planned to do this, and the eunuchs had already carried the food box over, and in the brightly lit Mingjian Hall of the Qianqing Palace, the two ministers looked at each other and smiled, both of which had a sense of rebellion.

Daming, it's really rejuvenating!
