(The third one will be sent!) ）

Liu Jun joined the cabinet early in the morning as usual.

Entering the duty room, the handyman had already prepared the hot tea, Liu Jun took off the cloak outside, and only wore a red python robe in the room.

Zhu Chenggong came in to report.

"Luo Qianhu is here."

Liu Jun nodded, "Lead him in." ”

With that, he began to serve as a director. On the large copywriting of the red sandalwood, a folding box with a seal has been placed. After receiving the registration of the memo, the Secretary of General Affairs will first send it to the Celebrant for backup, and then transfer it to the two ministers who will watch it first, and then transfer it to the Cabinet through the Celebrant and hand it over to the cabinet ministers to discuss the draft vote.

Liu Jun opened it, and the first one on it was an excerpt from Chen Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

I saw that the inscription on the cover read: Chen Yan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, please seal Wu Sangui with the title. Open to read, Chen said that the stability of Liaoning was very important to the Ming Dynasty, and the two families of Wu Zu defended the country for several generations, and worked hard, so please add the title of Earl Wu Sangui.

After reading this previous story, Liu Jun sneered several times, and he looked at it carefully before throwing him aside.

At this time, Zhu Chenggong had already led Luo Ping'an in.

Luo Ping'an's outstanding performance since joining Jinyi Wei was deeply appreciated by Liu Jun.

"Ping'an, I'm going to add some burdens to you, and let you serve as the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses."

Luo Ping'an met Liu Jun in Jinyi Wei Yamen three days ago, and it was Liu Qiao who accompanied Liu Jun at that time. Later, an officer from Liu Jun's chamberlain came to talk to him. This is generally a process of promotion for middle and senior officials in the Chu army, and each officer will be nominated by the above before being promoted, and there are generally at least three candidates for the same position. After the nomination, there will be a detailed assessment, and the final assessment results will be summarized, and an internal announcement will be made to finally determine the promotion list.

"Five Cities Terracotta Division?"

Luo Ping'an himself also guessed the position he might be promoted this time. But all he thought of was being promoted in the intelligence agency, and he estimated that he might be promoted to the Zhenfu Division, but he didn't expect to be transferred to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is a relatively special yamen, and only the Beijing Division has this yamen in the entire Ming Dynasty, but compared with the Jinyi Guard, it is very different.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is subordinate to the Ministry of War, and the Beijing Division is divided into the Soldiers and Horses Command Division of the Five Cities in the East, West, South and South, which is just a Yamen of the six products. Each division has one commander, four deputy commanders, and one officer. He was responsible for the security of the Jingshi, the fire ban, and the dredging of ditches and streets.

Liu Jun also saw that Luo Ping'an was a little disappointed.

"Don't be upset. This time, there will be an adjustment for the Five Cities Terracotta Division. After the adjustment, the Five Cities Terracotta Division will become a three-rank yamen, and the five-city command envoy will be promoted to the five-rank military attaché, and above the command of the Wucheng Terracotta Division, there will be a third-rank commander.

Daming Jingshi Beijing has the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city, among which the residential area is still commensurate with the fang, and the shop is called the shop. The vast majority of residential houses are typical courtyard houses,

The inner and outer city is divided into five districts, of which the central city is in Zhengyangmen, on both sides of the imperial city. There are nine squares and sixty-eight shops. Dongcheng District is in Chongwen Gate to stay east to north, to the city wall and outside the East Pass, there are five squares, Chaoyang, Dongzhi outside the Pass. Zheng Cunba, 37 cards, 199 shops.

Outside the three gates of Zhengyang, Chongwen and Xuanwu, the inside and outside of the new city belong to Nancheng District. There are eight squares, forty-nine cards, two hundred and forty-seven shops;

Xuanwu Gate. To the northwest of the street to the city wall and outside the Xiguan is the Xicheng District.

Bei'anmen to Anding, Deshengmen and Beiguan belong to Beicheng District.

It is bounded by Bei'anmen and Qipan Street, and is under the jurisdiction of Wanping County in the west and Daxing County in the east.

The west city belongs to Wanping, the east city belongs to Daxing, and the central, north and south cities and counties are divided. Among them, Wanping County has 13 squares and 312 alleys. There are fewer alleys in the western part of the capital, and there are fewer alleys in the east, and there are many alleys in the east.

However, because Beijing is a Beijing teacher, it has many special features. Among them, although Jingshi is divided into two counties, Wanping and Daxing, these two counties do not care about public security.

The security of the Beijing Division is under the responsibility of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, with the assistance of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also set up the Five Cities Inspectorate to appoint the Five Cities Patrol Imperial History, responsible for guiding and supervising the work of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

Although Liu Jun is the governor of Zhili and the governor of Shuntian, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, like Jinyiwei, are not directly under his jurisdiction. Now the city defense of the inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division is under the command of Liu Yunsheng, the commander of the Nine Gates of the Praetorian Guard, but the Praetorian Guard generally cannot interfere with the security of the Beijing Division.

Since the last adjustment, Jinyiwei is now mainly based on intelligence, and the power of law and order in the capital division is still in the hands of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Liu Jun needs to strengthen his control over the Beijing Division, so the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division must be held in his hands.

"In the future, the grade of the Five Cities Terracotta Division will be improved a lot, and the jurisdiction will also increase a lot, in addition to the traditional criminal name thieves, it is necessary to put out fires and fires, and continue to manage the communication canals, in addition to epidemic prevention, sanitation, capital markets, and street management, all of which must also be classified into the Five Cities Terracotta Division."

Under the Five Cities Terracotta Division are five bureaus in the east, west, south and north, each city bureau has left and right square sub-bureaus, and then there are five bureaus and ten sub-bureaus in the inner and outer cities, and 360 police stations are under its jurisdiction. In Liu Jun's plan, the Wucheng Terracotta Division will not only have to do its own work like the Public Security Bureau in the future, but also be equivalent to the Fire Bureau, the Urban Management Bureau, the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Quarantine Bureau, the Justice Bureau, etc., and they must be arrested.

In particular, the Five Cities Terracotta Division already has a lot of prisons, and their security jurisdiction is very large, so if they are used well, they will be a big helper in the future.

"After you take office, there are a few things that you must do well, one is to quickly complete the reconstruction of the entire Five Cities Terracotta Division, clean up and rectify the old personnel, and recruit new personnel. I have secured a quota of 8,000 for you, and you can take advantage of it yourself. ”

"The second thing is to do a good job in this epidemic prevention matter, continue to strengthen the prevention and control of the epidemic, and do a good job in urban health. Continue to renovate shantytowns in the outer cities, and assist the engineering battalions in the renovation of shantytowns. ”

"Third, crack down on criminal activities such as counterfeiting silver bills and silver dollars, and crack down on those unscrupulous businessmen who hoard and disrupt normal prices."

"Another point, if you are at the bottom of the market, you must grasp the public opinion of the three religions and nine streams in the market and collect good information. You used to be doing intelligence, this extra task, can you complete it? ”

Luo Ping'an was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that the transfer to the Five Cities Terracotta Division was not a demotion, but a reuse.

"County King, which city do I go to, am I the director?"

Liu Jun smiled, "You are mistaken, I didn't let you go to be the director of a sub-bureau, nor did I plan to let you be the commander of a city, but let him be the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division." By the way, Liu Jian has been appointed as the right deputy capital of the Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the future, he will be in charge of the patrol of the Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you will be partners in the future, remember to cooperate well. ”

The Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally the direct leadership of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, but it was originally the same as the Five Cities Terracotta Division, divided into the Five Cities Imperial History. Now the Terracotta Division of the Five Cities has been integrated, and a commander has been set up, which is set up as a third-rank military position, and the commanders of each urban area have also been promoted to a fourth-rank officer.

The Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate has also been lengthened, and now it is led by a right-deputy imperial historian of the third grade who patrols the city below. The current relationship between the Five Cities Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Five Cities Terracotta Division. Just like the governors of the provinces and the commanders of the provinces.

Liu Jun asked Luo Ping'an to serve as the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and then let his brother Liu Jian serve as the deputy capital of the imperial history, at this time he didn't care if others would attack him and employ people.

After explaining a few things that Luo Ping'an needed to focus on after taking office, Liu Jun asked about the rebel intelligence.

"How is Wu Sangui now? How is Feng Yuanbiao's surrender plan going? ”

"The student was about to report to the teacher. Jin Yiwei had just received information that Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou had already fallen to Qingyu. ”

"Fall to the Qinglu?" Liu Jun frowned, now that Wu Sangui and the Qing army are united, they have already fallen to the Qing army.

"They're officially cleared."

"This news is confirmed?"

"Not fully confirmed. But several intelligence sources have confirmed this information. Luo Ping'an said, "After Wu Sangui rebelled, although he united with the Qing army. I borrowed food and grass from them, but along the march, I was short of food and equipment, and my morale was low, and soldiers kept fleeing. When they reached the vicinity of the Luan River, there was no more food and grass to continue their advance, and there were more than 40,000 fewer horses than 100,000 men. ”

Although Feng Yuanbiao went to recruit and surrendered, he gave excellent treatment conditions, which was equivalent to allowing them to divide Liaoxi. But the court proposed by the king of the county did not give the Liao army a grain or salary, so that Wu Sangui could not accept Feng's conditions at all. ”

Liu Jun sneered, this is also expected.

What we fight in a war is logistics, and what we fight is our overall strength. Wu Sangui now has 100,000 soldiers, but the places he controls were already occupied by the Qing army a year ago, especially since these places are still areas where the Ming and Qing dynasties have been fighting fiercely for many years, and now there are not a few ordinary people left.

Sandwiched between the Ming and Qing dynasties, what is the use of just having this bit of soldiers and horses.

When Liu Jun came to abandon Liaoxi and retreat to the defense line of Guanning and Yanbei, Wu Sangui was directly stunned.

Even if the imperial court gave Wu Sangui the title of king, as long as Liu Jun resolutely disagreed with the imperial court to pay Wu Sangui and did not allow the Ming people and businessmen to cross the daughter river, Wu Sangui would have to sit back and wait for death.

"What conditions did Qing Yu give Wu Sangui?"

"It is said that Dolgon has made the little emperor of the Qing court the king of Pingxi Wu Sangui and the king of Jingnan as the king of Jingnan. In particular, Wu Sangui's Guangning Army was organized into a positive green flag, and Zu Dashou's Jinzhou Army was organized into a green flag. The treatment of these two flags is extremely high, which is equivalent to the Manchurian Eight Banners, and has a higher status than the Menghan Eight Banners. The land of Guangning and Jinzhou is divided into two banners, and the two banners have their own territory, and their identity is Qiding. ”

Liu Jun laughed again, it turned out that Kong Youde and others were inlaid with black flags, and now there are two green flags, and Qing Yu will also play. The so-called status is higher than the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and he will no longer be the Eight Banners. As for the territory and the like, it was originally the territory of the Ming army occupied by Wu Sangui and them.

"In this way, Dolgon must be willing to provide food and salary to Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou's two green flags?"

"Yes, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou's two green flags each compiled a hundred cattle records. Now their grain and grass are all supplied by the Qing captives. ”

"Qing Lu is really generous, this is equivalent to giving the two traitors an army quota of 30,000 people each, but I don't know how long they can supply the grain and grass of these 60,000 people."

Liu Jun showed Luo Ping'an the recital that Chen Yan had just seen, asking Count Wu Sangui to be sealed.

"Look at it, there are still many people in the imperial court who want to knight Wu Sangui."

"What do these people think?" Luo Ping'an shook his head.

"It's hard to guess what they think, but it's stupid to think of something to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. Regarding the news of Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, you step up to confirm, and in addition, temporarily block this news and keep it strictly confidential. ”

"Won't you report to the court right away?"

"What's the hurry, these people are jumping up and down now. The show is just beginning. The more they dance now, the louder they will hit in the face when they turn around. Chen Yan is just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Fu is planning behind this. This person can't keep him, just right, this time I took this opportunity to drive this guy out of the court in one fell swoop. ”

The ministers who took care of their lives first committed suicide by Zhou Yanru, and then worried about Liu Zongzhou, and now the only one who hinders Liu Jun's eyes is Wu Fu. As long as Wu Fu falls again. Then Liu Jun became the only auxiliary minister.

At that time, no one can stop Liu Jun from hindering his hands and feet.

Later, Liu Jun took Chen Yan's recital and went to the palace prime minister's yamen, and asked his subordinates to inform Wu Fu and request that a meeting of the prime minister be convened urgently, and the cabinet ministers, the six ministries and nine secretaries, and a number of science and technology officials were all held to discuss the matter.

When all the officials arrived, Liu Jun accompanied Liu Cihong in.

Wu Fu was called temporarily, very dissatisfied, and waited for everyone to salute the emperor. He took the lead in attacking Liu Jun.

"Jifu, you called everyone here in a hurry, what is the matter?"

"Hui Yuanfu, I saw a note submitted by the celebrant today. It was the performance of Chen Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who actually asked for a knighthood for Wu Sangui. Liu Jun straightened up and sat there in reply.

"Chen Shilang, I want to ask you what the reason is. Got you on this trick? Please answer me! ”

Chen Yan got up, "Back to Lord Cifu, one title is exchanged for 100,000 soldiers and horses." Xia Guan thinks it's totally worth it. ”

"According to what you say, wouldn't the imperial court also have to give Li Zicheng a knighthood?" Liu Jun asked.

"The lower officials don't mean this, they are not the same thing."

"What's the difference? Li Zicheng rebelled and caused chaos everywhere. Wu Sangui was favored by the country in this life, and was specially promoted by the first emperor, but now he is ungrateful, colluding with foreign captives to rebel, speaking of which, Wu Sangui is more evil than Li Zicheng, and now it is good, is it in the eyes of Chen Gong, is the rebellion justified? Can you still be knighted if you rebel? ”

"How can this king remember that the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty cannot be knighted without military merits? Why haven't you heard that rebellion can still be knighted? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jun turned to face Zhu Cihong, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is the arrogance of a thief, and it is precisely because of traitors like Chen Yan that Wu Sangui dares to rebel so unscrupulously. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister resolutely opposes the knighthood, and also opposes Zhao'an Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui is a chaotic minister and thief, and he will only regard the court's recruitment as weakness and can be bullied. ”

Wu Fu was the one who advocated the surrender of Wu Sangui, and at this time he couldn't help but come out and say, "Is the king of the county afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" The court recruited peace, that is to calm down the troubles as soon as possible, how can it be weak? ”

"I'm afraid Wu Sangui won't think so."

"The king of the county is not Wu Sangui, how do you know what Wu Sangui will think?" Wu Fu is-for-tat.

"What if Shoufu insisted on giving Wu Sangui the title of knight, but as a result, Wu Sangui not only didn't appreciate it, but also rebelled against the imperial court?" Liu Jun is also pressing step by step.

"Only His Majesty is willing to give Wu Sangui a count, and I dare to guarantee that Wu Sangui will suspend his troops and surrender." Wu Fu said.

"You vouch? What kind of guarantee? Is your position as a chief assistant or a minister for your orders? ”

"Take the official position of the Minister of Gu Ming and the first assistant together!" Wu Fu said angrily.

Liu Jun laughed for a while, "Okay, then I will agree to give the title of Earl Wu Sangui today, but I will also put the words here, if the court lord also gives it, and the official also gives it, then Wu Sangui still refuses to accept the surrender, then I will see Shoufu fulfill today's promise." ”

Wu Fu suddenly felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have made such a bet with Liu Jun on impulse.

At this time, Chen Yan said on the side, "If Wu Sangui accepts the surrender by then, what is the plan of the county king?" ”

"If Wu Yi really accepts the court's recruitment, then the king is willing to apologize to Lord Shoufu in person."

Chen Yan smiled, "I'm afraid this is not sincere, right?" ”

"That king is willing to resign from the post of governor of Zhili and governor of Shuntian, and even resign from the posts of minister and deputy assistant of the cabinet, and completely resign and return to his hometown to live in seclusion!"

"That's what the county king said himself, and his words count."

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, I speak for the sake of words, I only hope that the first assistant can also speak by then." Liu Jun said slowly.

On the same day, Zhu Cihong reluctantly agreed to the requests of Wu Fu, Chen Yan and others, and issued an edict to crown Wu Sangui as the Earl of Dingxi, and ordered Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang and other family members to be released from prison.

The edict was issued, and soon the entire Jingshi was spreading this will.

The people of Beijing soon knew that this was the meaning of Shoufu Wu Fu, and even under the spread of people with hearts, the people of Beijing soon knew about the gambling contract that happened in the Prime Minister's yamen.

"Have you heard, the two ministers of Gu Ming made a bet that the first assistant and the second assistant would bet on whether Wu Sangui would accept the imperial court's surrender."

"Ah, there's such a thing, what's the bet, is it a house or a grange?"

"That's a gambling contract between two ministers, the first assistant and the second assistant bet against each other, how can they gamble on their property."

"What's that bet on?"

"I'm telling you, they're betting on their respective positions. If the first assistant loses the gamble, he will automatically resign and retire to his hometown. If the county king loses the gamble, he will also resign from all his positions and return to his hometown to live in seclusion. ”

"Oh my God, there is really such a gamble, the bet is really big, and all the official positions and futures are bet."

The people of Jingshi were quickly attracted by this earth-shattering gamble, and everyone was talking about it, speculating on the outcome of this gamble.

Even the large and small gambling houses in Beijing have opened a variety of handicaps, which has added a fire to this gambling contract.
