The wood fire was lit, the hares that had just been caught from the forest were roasted on the fire, and several war horses tied to the edge of the small forest on the left side of the road were snorting while lowering their heads to nibble on the grass beside them. It seems that this is a picture of a suburban pleasure, but if you expand the perspective into the distance, you will see that the once fertile fields are now overgrown with weeds, the collapsed people's thatched huts are empty, and the battle flag planted on the lonely city not far away, although it is still fluttering slightly in the wind, but the meaning of listlessness is very strong, obviously this is the true face of the battlefield.

"Li Tou, this is too close to the city." Listening to the crackling sound of grease dripping into the fire, a Qing army leader dressed as a small military attache licked his tongue and spoke to a certain senior officer in front of him. "I don't think Hai Reverse will go out of the city."

"Do they dare?" Pouting the total disdain. "Even if we dare to go out of the city, let's get on our horses and go, with the four legs of the sea." The general snorted twice. "Just follow us and eat dirt."

"Second Brother Wang, you don't need it." Listening to the conversation between the two, another Qing army leader at the same level as the junior military attache chuckled. "Hai Rebellion is to rely on those red boats equipped with cannons on the river to hold Huangpi, and they don't dare to leave the river too far if they have ten guts. Besides, the camp of the military gate is thirty miles away, just like Li Tou said, there are many people out of the city, let's get on the horse and run back, if there are few people, we will have to benefit the city, so as to have some military merits. ”

"Isn't there an old saying, what has been famous since ancient times, and you ask for it immediately." The Qing army general, known as Li Tou, tried the raw and cooked process of barbecue with a hand knife while dragging Wendao. "Don't look at our brothers, they are only seven or eight grades now, but as long as they have military merits, they can be promoted to staff and deputy in the future."

Before Li finished speaking, a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the direction of Huangpi City, and several people stood up at a loss to look into the distance, only to see that after a while, a front-mounted sentry rushed back, and reported with a pale face: "My lord, no, it's not good, Zhu Qin, Zhu Qin has arrived!" ”

Li Jiang's face also became wonderful, maybe they looked down on the combat power of Wang Xinhua's department in front of them, but Zheng Jun was able to sweep half of the country from a corner, and the combat power was definitely not weak, and when they thought that there was about to appear in a general battle of tens of thousands of people, the people who were full of confidence just now suddenly felt like they had been beaten by frost.

After being stunned for a while, Li Jiang gritted his teeth and ordered: "What are you doing in a daze, don't go back to the camp with Lao Tzu to report!" ”

"Li Tou," the foreign commissioner, known as Wang Er, pointed to the rabbit with a burst of meaty aroma. "Is this meat taken away?"

Li kicked the barbecue grill away, and the rabbit meat on the branch fell on the fire, and suddenly there was a burst of burnt smell: "Eat, eat a bird, do you really want to wait for the sea to come out of the city and then run?"

The news of Zheng Kezang's arrival in Wuchang shook the Qing army on both sides of the Han River, and the two Qing armies retreated 100 to 150 miles back. However, this calming was only the last calm before the storm, and both Qing and Zheng were waiting for Zheng Kezang's further actions.

"Mr. Hong," just as the Qing army was on full alert for the Zheng army's possible military action, Zheng Kezang, who had just moved into the Huguang Governor's Division, was receiving Hong Lei, who was already in his sixties, and his face was covered with age spots at the moment, and he looked exhausted. "These days, Mr. has maintained himself in Huguang, and he has worked hard. However, when the lonely first arrived, Mr. Hong should not be in a hurry to respond to the sky, and how about being a counselor by the lonely side? ”

Hong Lei, who was sitting on the brocade bench, arched his hand: "What did the king say, the king went to the north to attack Jinghu, and the ministers should serve some dogs and horses, but when the minister first came to Huguang, it coincided with the danger of Wu Hou's soldiers, and before leaving, Wu Hou still had his last words, saying that he had not seen the king create a prosperous world, and he was unwilling, and the ministers were the same, I don't know if they can hold on to the king to represent Ming." ”

Zheng Kezhang was a little embarrassed, and the old ministers in the domain were all looking forward to their early success, but they only wanted to lay a solid foundation first, which made a considerable number of courtiers feel disappointed, and some courtiers were either ♀ confined to the difference between monarchs and ministers, or Zheng Kezang doubted his intentions, so there were people who knocked on the side, and there were people who pretended to be public opinion, but no one dared to question Zheng Kezang directly. However, Hong Lei is not among them, you must know that Hong Lei of Lao Er Mijian is a veteran of three generations, a heavy minister, others have scruples, he has no scruples, others have, but he doesn't, so he gave Zheng Kezhang a dismount as soon as he came.

"Mr. Hong, Fei Gu doesn't want to replace Ming, but the reforms are being promoted, and the pros and cons are unknown. As a last resort, Zheng Kezhang had no choice but to patiently explain to Hong Lei. "So, what does it mean to be lonely, it's not too late to wait for progress and then change the dynasty."

"Your Majesty," Hong Lei did not accept Zheng Kezang's explanation. "The king is not known for his righteousness, but now he governs the world in the name of the shogunate, and the old and new systems are mixed with each other, even if the place is chaotic, and the cost is extremely large, such a drawback, it is better to correct it in one fell swoop."

"It's hard." Zheng Kezhang shook his head. "If it is according to the new system, a county will have an annual expenditure of 200,000 yuan, how many counties can achieve it? However, if the new government does not go to the countryside according to the new system, how can the affairs of land and household registration be carried out smoothly, and if the fields and acres and household registration are not clear, how can the apportionment of the acres into the mu and the gentry pay grain in one piece. Lone can't put this headache in the new dynasty! ”

In fact, Zheng Kezang's headache is not only these, the problem of money is easy to solve, but the talent is not enough to support the design of the government to go to the countryside and the integration of officials -- although it shows that Zheng began to conduct the township examination every year from the first year of Wuding, but the result of the township examination is that there are only a few more swords and pens, and although the talents needed for arithmetic, Yiwen, construction, and mining have recruited a lot in the name of officials and Jian Baxu officials, they are still not enough to fill all the vacancies -- no one can do anything, and some people will not do it, and they will make mistakes.

"Speaking of the new system, the minister has heard a little." Zheng Kezang does not want to leave the future troubles to the new dynasty Hong Lei agrees, but since the new system is mentioned, he also has a little bit of a construction. "Your Majesty, can the Ministry of Posts and Communications be in charge of the post administration?"

Zheng Kezhang was stunned for a moment, he thought for a while and replied: "The Ministry of Posts and Communications doesn't care about the post administration, I have thought about it, since the official post has been cancelled in the Ming Dynasty, then the domain does not need to be reinstated, and the domain only has a military post, which is managed by the Water 6 Military Department. ”

Hong Lei didn't expect Zheng Kezhang to tell him what Ma Zheng Yamen was in charge of the affairs of the Civil Information Bureau and the Dart Bureau, so he didn't think too much about it for a while, but he had his own views on the Ministry of Posts and Communications: "Since the Ministry of Posts and Communications doesn't care about the post administration, the minister thought that the name could be restored to the Ministry of Industry, and as for the Ministry of Water Resources, it can be renamed the Ministry of Water, and still manage the river engineering, sea pond construction, Tuntian Qingzhang and the shipping affairs of the police Yamen to manage the arrest and inspection, and it is also appropriate to use the old name of the Criminal Department. There is also the 6th Military Department of Water, although there is no problem with the central government, but the local military room is at a loss, and it is easy to simplify it into a military department. ”

There is no problem with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Water Resources changing their names to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water. It doesn't matter if the police yamen is renamed the criminal department, anyway, what Zheng Kezhang wants is to separate the criminal prison, and it can be regarded as uniform if the prison administration is under the grand trial court, but the water 6 military department is reunified into the military department, and Zheng Kezang's face is a little unsightly.

As if knowing what problem Zheng Kezhang was stuck, Hong Lei asked: "Now that the Ordnance Division belongs to the 6th Military Department, where should the Navy Division ask for artillery, should the Navy Department also place the Ordnance Division." ”

This question stopped Zheng Kezang, and Zheng Kezhang immediately thought that the two ministries should set up two budget departments, two review departments and a series of duplicate units, as well as young martial arts, and now the 6th military department grasps it, and the naval military department also has a lot of opinions, if the two departments are merged, it can indeed reduce a certain amount of expenditure and divert some cadres to other departments that need it.

However, although the merger has benefits, it also brings new questions: "How to settle the two Shangshu Shilang?" ”

"The minister thinks that the affairs of the military department are complicated, and it is related to the two divisions of the 6th Army, so it is better to put the left and right Shangshu and the left and right squires to be in charge of the affairs of the 6th Army." Of course, personnel issues are very important, so as not to remove the people who are already sitting in their seats, so Hong Lei provided such a proposal. "As for the division that connects the two divisions, it can be jointly managed by the left and right Shangshu Shilang, and it will be reduced when the opportunity is chosen in the future."

Zheng Kezhang was stunned, but he didn't have time to be happy, Hong Lei said: "Admiral Wang changed the Ministry of Officials to the Court of Judges, the original intention was to reduce the authority of the Ministry of Officials, but the Court of Judges and the Ministry of Officials are similar, and they will inevitably still be weighted in the future. ”

Change the Inquisition's Court back to the Ministry of Officials? Zheng Kezhang pondered for a long time before he spoke: "It doesn't matter whether the Inquisition's Court is reinstated or not, it's just that it should become a law that the officials are not allowed to enter the cabinet; In addition, now the officials are integrated, the government goes to the countryside, and the government of employing people is cumbersome, and it is thought that the local government may be able to decentralize power, for example, the government officials and branch departments can be appointed, promoted to the ninth and fifth rank officials, and the provincial officials and departments can be promoted, transferred to the seventh, seventh, eighth, and other fourth-order officials, and the central officials can manage the appointment, grinding, and dethronement of the officials from the fourth grade to the sixth grade officials. ”

As for the appointment of officials above the third grade that Zheng Kezhang did not mention in his mouth, Hong Lei also knew that it must be the Sacred Heart, but Hong Lei was already retired and rehired, and he couldn't manage and didn't want to take care of some things, so the matter was decided.

But Zheng Kezhang was still not satisfied, only to see him add pointedly: "Since the name of the Ministry of Rites has been reinstated, there are also people who want to come to the Ministry of Rites who want to restore it, and it is okay for Lone to conform to the people's hearts, but the Ministry of Rites lacks the two major functions of managing academic affairs and host and guest is too thin, so Lone will hand over the power of the Lord to the Ministry of Rites, so I think it should be a bowl of water."
