"What's that?" Yu Wenxing heard a continuous explosion, but he was quite strange. The Mawei army did not continue to shell Ganzhou City at this time, and besides, there were still thousands of Mawei troops here, so they would not be so stupid to fire at their own people.

"Big, my lord, it's not good, the Ponytail Army is killed, it's in! The brothers can't stop it! ”

"Sue me, what the hell is going on?" Yu Wenxing shouted loudly.

Yu Wenxing's junior colonel, who was obviously frightened out of his soul, replied in a panic: "Enemy, the enemy army threw more than a dozen shells into the middle of our formation, killing and wounding hundreds of brothers, and no one at the city gate dared to continue to rush forward!" ”

After all, Yuwenxing is well-informed, thinking that the Mawei Army is using a new weapon at the moment, that is, a "bomb" that can be dropped by hand, and a lot of people have died under his command, the important thing is that the morale has dropped to the freezing point, no matter how much he presses it, the defenders of Ganzhou will no longer listen to his words and rush forward to resist the rebels!

"What about archers? Suppress the enemy with bows and arrows and never let a single rebel enter the city! ”

By the time he yelled, the Mawei Army had already entered the city.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Once the distance between the two sides was widened, it became a stage for the Mawei Army to perform alone, and a large number of Mawei Army soldiers poured into Ganzhou City, and the gunshots rang out endlessly. At this time, if the defenders of Ganzhou rushed towards them, it was no longer possible to get close to the Mawei army, and they were basically hit by bullets at a position of thirty meters and then fell.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"My lord, let's withdraw, the rebels have already entered the city. Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. Let's go to Ji'an Mansion to meet General Dingnan. There's still a chance to fight back! The guards beside Yu Wenxing said urgently.

Yu Wenxing looked at the situation in front of him, his face changed one after another, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Withdraw!" "Although I know that there are at least 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, they will not work at this time! The Mawei army entered the city, relying on no less than their numbers, coupled with strong combat strength and high morale, and they had only one way to defeat if they fought to the death.

Outside the city. Bai Xianzhong watched the large army continue to fight into the city, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go into the city too, the overall situation has been decided, and Yuwenxing can't make any waves! It's just that this time we are missing one of the three again, and this kid Yuwenxing must have escaped! Actually, I admire him, and if he can surrender, I would recommend him to the Grand Duke! ”

Chief of Staff Long Jie's eyes were also staring at the city gate, and when he heard Bai Xianzhong's words, he immediately turned his head and replied: "Hehe, the hero sees the same thing." I also think this person has some skills. However, this man's actions can also show that he is loyal to the court. Squeak will not be lightly surrendered. Let's put this mind away. ”

As he was talking, the tiger flag of the Mawei Army had been planted on the head of the city, which also showed that the southern part of Ganzhou City had fallen into the hands of the Mawei Army, and it was only a matter of time before the remaining gates and even the whole city were taken, and it would take less than two hours

Under the strong attack of the Mawei Army, the four prefectures of Jiangxi near Fujian, Guangxin Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture, Ningdu Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture all fell into the hands of the Mawei Army for ten days, and took over these territories, and the follow-up troops of the Mawei Group were also busy again. The detailed work of pacification was more tedious and tiring than sending troops directly to fight, but this qiē was also carried out in an orderly manner.

Thousands of miles away in Guangdong, after the Mawei Army completely occupied it for more than two months, Guangdong's affairs gradually began to get on the right track, and it became closer and closer to Fujian, the base camp of the Mawei Army. The drastic reform of the Ministry of Government in Guangdong is more thorough than that in Fujian. The highest direct person in charge of the Ministry of Government Affairs is, of course, Yao Qisheng, who had already formulated a set of administrative systems in the middle of the previous year after many exchanges with Geng Jingzhong. That administrative system has been put to trial in Luzon, and after a year and a half, the Ministry of Administration has accumulated considerable experience and improved the original irrationality one by one.

At present, under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Administration of Guangdong, there are the Secretarial Section, the Civil Affairs Section, the Supervision Bureau, and the Security Office, and under the jurisdiction of the Personnel Department, the Industry and Commerce Department, the Finance Department, the Agriculture Department, the Construction Department, the Forestry and Animal Husbandry Department, the Water Conservancy Department, the Taxation Department, the Education Department, and the Health Department. The minister is Chen Menglei, a talented man in Fujian recommended by Li Guangdi, who was originally friends with Li Guangdi, but he has been concentrating on studying knowledge and has not come out to be an official. After Li Guangdi recommended him, Geng Jingzhong personally invited him, and Chen Menglei agreed to serve as the Minister of Political Affairs of Guangdong, which is equivalent to the governor of a province.

At present, the four departments of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Construction, the Department of Water Conservancy, and the Department of Education should be the busiest in Guangdong, and it can be said that Guangdong has settled down for the time being, the training of the reserve army is still continuing, and the bandits in various parts of the province have been almost eliminated, and production is also being resumed during this period. At this time, it is the busy agricultural season in March, and the Agriculture Department is the busiest of the four divisions. As a result of the criticism and clean-up of the Ministry of Political Affairs, a considerable number of powerful families in Guangdong Province have been cleaned up, and these powerful families are large and small, and the general standards are in the middle and upper reaches of Guangdong, and those who have been executed, those who have been confiscated, those who have been confiscated land, and so on, have left hundreds of thousands of hectares of land in the hands of the Ministry of Political Affairs.

The Ministry of Administration is not yet able to directly distribute these lands to landless tenant farmers, so the Ministry of Administration's system of tuntian farms comes in handy. At present, the Department of Agriculture is mainly responsible for the construction of farms and the management of household registration. It also has a household registration office, a forestry and animal husbandry bureau, a fisheries department and an agricultural research institute. The chief officer of the Department of Agriculture is called Zhao Rongjun, who was a former member of the Guangdong Provincial Government, served in Guangdong for three years, and had a very good reputation. He surrendered to the Mawei army. After the assessment of Geng Jingzhong and others. He was temporarily given the post of director of the Department of Agriculture, in charge of agriculture in a province. This is already a big position, but it is still a slight decline from his original status.

The construction department is responsible for the construction of large-scale public projects such as roads, drainage, and ports in the province, and Guangdong does not have a spacious and flat cement road that extends in all directions like Fujian, so according to Geng Jingzhong's consistent advocacy, road repair is also an extremely important thing, and the Mawei Group is not short of silver at this time, and it is necessary to build infrastructure on a large scale. Things have to come one by one. Road repair is not to the construction department of the department, the road companies have long been staring at the green eyes, the road construction notice has not come down, the road companies have been about to break the door of the construction department.

Although the big families in Guangdong were cleaned up, but after all, it was only a small part, and they did not see the profits of road construction, but for a time they did not dare to compete with the Fujian consortium. This builds the road. It's still the same as Fujian, and it is necessary to start from the main road. First of all, the main passage between the prefectures and counties will be built, which is also a big project. After repairing, you can set up a card to charge, which is a steady stream of wealth.

The Department of Water Resources is in charge of one project, the construction of water conservancy facilities, the excavation and widening of ditches, which is also a huge project, which cannot be completed in a short time and a half, and may not be completed in ten or eight years. But with the good thing of cement, the ditch must be ten times better than the original.

As for the Department of Education, it is clear that if we continue to open the Future School, there is no shortage of basic teachers in the Mawei Group, and those students who have just graduated from the School can also be pulled over to give enlightenment education to these children who are only eight or nine years old. Hanyu Pinyin and simple arithmetic, as long as they have completed their studies, can be said to be qualified.

The Department of Education has long been divided into the Basic Department and the Vocational School Department, and the vocational school is now in Fuzhou, and other places have not yet been established. In just two months, 200 future schools have been established in various prefectures and counties in Guangdong, accommodating more than 50,000 students. On this article, the Financial Secretary has to spend 150,000 silver dollars every month, but Yao Qisheng did not ask Geng Jingzhong for this money, and directly agreed with a stroke of the pen.

Except for the four departments that are considered to be the busiest, the other departments are not so idle. Guangdong's business atmosphere has always been strong, and it can't be depressed just because of a big war. Geng Jingzhong, the Department of Industry and Commerce, specially sent his younger brother Geng Zhaozhong, in recent years, Geng Zhaozhong and Geng Juzhong have suffered a lot, and they have completely lost the ease they had when they were in the capital, and Geng Jingzhong is very strict with them, so in the past four years, both of them can be described as reborn. Both brothers are now able to take charge on their own. At this time, the Department of Industry and Commerce has two major departments, the Industrial Department and the Commercial Department, and the planning and construction of industrial parks in Guangdong and the promotion of commerce and trade in Guangdong are all issues that he has to consider now.

In addition, like the Supervision Bureau directly under the Ministry of Political Affairs, they must supervise and evaluate all officials in the province. The Personnel Department is responsible for the appointment of all officials in the Ministry of Political Affairs, and it can be said that these two departments have very strong powers.

The Department of Forestry and Animal Husbandry could have been divided under the Department of Agriculture, but the land in various parts of Guangdong had not yet been put in place, so it was temporarily set aside for separate processing. The Department of Health is relatively idle, they want to improve the health situation of a province in a short period of time, that is impossible, can only beat the drum on the side, influence the people of the province, first do publicity, wait until the first wave of construction in Guangdong is over, and then it is their turn to show their talents.

It was only when all the departments were divided into detailed divisions and began to be implemented that the power structure in Guangdong became clear. The skeletons of the tens of thousands of troops with millions of people in Guangdong are basically from Fujian, and the original Guangdong officials only account for a quarter, and the more lower-level officials in Guangdong account for more than half, completely more than half. These grassroots officials are the nerve endings of the Ministry of Political Affairs or Chen Menglei, and only a strong organization can burst out with the greatest mobilization force, and what supports this organization is the power and resources given to all levels, many of which conflict with the existing structure of society, which makes his system constantly conflict with the surrounding forces. Chen Menglei also spent a lot of effort to accept the new concept of Fujian after several months of study and absorption.

With regard to this new system, the heads of the departments of the Ministry of Administration, while carrying out their respective tasks, will also be subject to improving their statutes and arranging for appointments to their respective posts to report to the Personnel Division. Problems found must be reported every other week, and there is a special department above to review and rectify. At the beginning, the most basic functional personnel had many questions about their responsibilities, and it was difficult for them to start handling official affairs normally, but after a month of familiarization, the responsibilities within their respective jurisdictions became clear. All the newly appointed officials did not dare to cope with it, and the inspectorate kept an eye on them every day when they had nothing to do.

In Geng Jingzhong's words, you have to if you squat in the pit, those who are vegetarian corpse meals, they are not what he wants from the Mawei Army, and they don't have to wait until the half-year exam.

For more than two months, almost all of Guangdong Province has been in a state of chaos. In the first month, batches of appointment and dismissal orders were issued, personnel from all departments were transferred and reported, and each department had just established its own official offices and started its official work.

Speaking of which, the busiest person in Guangdong now is really Chen Menglei himself, who is busy every day, soaking in the pile of documents every day. In fact, the chief officials of each department are similar to Chen Menglei, there will always be many inexplicable problems in a new department, and there will be no shortage of things to do with other departments. However, under the pressure of Chen Menglei, the official, they could only work overtime to complete it. (To be continued......)
