When the Luxi area was still combing the urban population, the three prefectures of Ludong had already cultivated the first batch of 500 administrative commissioners.

Most of these people are students who have no chance of getting ahead, or they make a living by litigating people, or they live on food. According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty giving preferential treatment to scholars, students also have a tax-free quota of two stone grains, but in the social environment where a large number of peasants take refuge in the Juren and Jinshi families, this quota may not be able to sell for money.

After the three prefectures of Ludong were directly under the central government, the land was redistributed, and the imperial court firmly controlled the land tax in its own hands.

Fortunately, you can still take the exam, and after the exam, you can directly accept it as an official, or even an official, which can be described as a great thing for pie in the sky.

In the era of lack of clear administrative regulations, these officials who read the Four Books and the Five Classics have an irreplaceable role. Because there are only a few books I read, the ideological level is similar, and the values are the same—or the same in the public values. This ensures that they are able to make near-unanimous value judgments.

Through strict constraints on the examination method, this kind of unanimous judgment will soon become a common practice, and then maintain social order and ensure the good operation of social functions.

Only this part of the students is not enough to take on the general affairs of the second-class area, so as assistants, there are still a large number of original scribes in the East Palace. These people are the key targets of the purge of officials. Occasionally, a few Qing officials in the Eastern Three Prefectures were directly appointed or even promoted through the purge. However, the official system of the three governments was almost uprooted, and not only did a large number of officials serve as hard labor, teach, and even have to kill chickens and monkeys.

After six months of education, the surviving officials were finally tamed, accepted the new rules, and were able to go to the village to teach or do some clerical work in the yamen, depending on their performance. This time, officials were dispatched to the rectification area. These people were also given the quota to be able to make meritorious contributions, but judging from the intensity of the competition, they were completely reformed.

The Ming Dynasty took "officials" as the first rate, and "officials" were the so-called "petty officials" among the people, and they were also very remarkable figures, so they were naturally good at seizing opportunities.

November 12, 17th year of Chongzhen. Zhu Cihong convened a high-level military and political conference in Jinan.

In terms of civil officials, Wu Fu and Sun Chuanting naturally wanted to attend the meeting. At the same time, there are also 11 officials in Henan, the chief officials of the second envoy department of the Ministry of Punishment and the eight prefectures of Henan. Zhou Yingzhi was finally justifiably transferred to the governor of Henan and the political envoy, and he no longer had to do Shandong's political participation in the name of the governor of Tianjin.

In terms of military generals, the governors of the four headquarters of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were originally in Jinan. The local military generals who are in charge of the country are naturally all together. After accepting two battalions of recruits, the 1st Guards Battalion formed the 1st Guards Division with three battalions, with a full strength of 13,000 men, and became the most powerful armed liliang in the Donggong system.

Therefore, Xiao Mo deservedly stood at the head of the generals, maintaining the virtue of humility and low-key on his face. In my heart, I have a sense of satisfaction of success.

It was not Xiao Donglou who was lined up beside Xiao Mo, but Luo Yukun.

Luo Yukun has always had the consciousness of being a "guest soldier". He knew that the three major guard battalions were all old men of the East Palace, and even former bandits like Xiao Donglou had Tianxiong Army to make notes, and he had also captured Niu Jinxing in the Battle of Ruyang. To put it bluntly, the independent guerrilla battalion is a group of Sichuan soldiers who take money and sell their lives, which is an alternative in the Donggong armed forces, which are dominated by the Beizhi people.

And nominally, it's still a remnant of thieves.

At this moment, Luo Yukun was standing beside Xiao Mo, wearing the same military uniform and wearing a gold star emblem. attracted everyone's attention, and suddenly thought of a sentence that Chen Chong had been hanging on his lips: Those who are confidants die for themselves.

"This winter offensive. It was not so much a military operation as an administrative one. Zhu Cihong sat on a high seat and set the tone for this meeting.

Zhu Cihong looked around and said: "The reason why this military and political conference was convened is mainly to prevent civil and military disputes in the Guangfu District in the future. First of all, I would like to emphasize one more point. Civil and military officials are different in their affiliation, and civil servants should not interfere in the military, so as not to embarrass each other. ”

After the Ming Dynasty was from Chengping, Wenchen overwhelmed the generals, and after Wanli, it was almost sick. With Li Chengliang like the emperor of Liaodong. You should also bow down to Wenchen. Not to mention Mao Wenlong, the governor of Zhengyipin, who was holding the sword of Shang Fang and commanding a town, was directly killed by Yuan Chonghuan.

There was no reaction from the civil servants present. Not every civilian official has the heart of a "general", just because they shoulder the responsibility of defending the territory, and it is inevitable that they will rush to the hospital and interfere in the military at the moment of crisis. Now Zhu Cihong has put the responsibility of defending the territory on the army, declaring that civilian officials can abandon the city and leave without being held accountable when the situation is in crisis. Naturally, there is no need for them to interfere militarily.

"Secondly, to conquer one land and rule another. In the first three days, the army was in charge of politics, and the officials of the political envoy department counted the list of local gentry and gangsters, and the army carried out arrests, and then the criminal envoy department convicted and sentenced them. In order to calm the local law, civilian officials can request protection, and the military can also suppress the rebels on their own. Three days later, the inspection department and the police station were formed, the main combat units of each battalion were returned to the organization, and the local security was handed over to the administrative officer. ”

"Again, the formation of labor battalions." Zhu Cihong looked at Chen De of the military system, looked at Zhou Yingqi again, and said: "The political envoy should set up a labor camp in the thoroughfare as soon as possible, requisition and purchase labor tools, and Chen De, Zhao Yingyuan, and Xie Qian will be assigned to lead the construction of fortifications and repair the city defense. ”

The three people who were named agreed one after another.

Chen De was also a guerrilla general before, and the two people around him were quite uneven. Zhao Yingyuan was originally a rebel, and after Li Zicheng retreated, he led a group of men and horses to rob houses in eastern Henan, and Zuihou expanded to more than 50,000 people.

After the battle of Gaocheng spread, he led his troops to surrender to Xiao Mo. After screening, most of them were given land and farming tools, and became farmers again. In addition, some craftsmen were transferred to the handicraft workshop attached to the technical school and became craftsmen. There were more than 10,000 people left in Zuihou, and 1,000 were drawn to be trained into sappers, and the rest were turned into laborers.

Zhao Yingyuan thus became the battalion officer of the Second Engineer Battalion.

As for Xie Qian, he was the original bandit, who gathered more than 30,000 people in the Qingzhou generation. I really couldn't resist the pressure of the bandits in the East Palace, so I had to take refuge in the East Palace with my men. He originally had a hint of luck in his heart, thinking of finding an opportunity to occupy the mountain as king again. Who knew that the East Palace system had an digestion capacity beyond his imagination, allowing his 30,000 rabble to collapse and scatter all over the place in one day.

Now Xie Qian is the battalion officer of the Third Engineer Battalion, and except for one trainer, who has known each other, the others are all newcomers who have been replaced, and there is no chance to change their banner independently.

Juxtaposed with such two people, it naturally made the arrogant Chen De unwilling. However, the tempering of these days has played a role to some extent, and Chen De did not show the slightest expression on his face. Of course, this also has a lot to do with his father's surrender and apostasy. Although the crown prince comforted him several times, and even Chen Yongfu himself was awarded the rank of colonel and presided over the training of the township warriors in the three mansions of Ludong, Chen De still carried huge psychological pressure.

- I'm a man who can fight!

Chen De couldn't help but shout in his heart.

However, what made him feel disappointed was that the first guard division had been integrated, and the three battalion officers were all old men from the original first battalion, and they were all from the guard battalion of the East Palace back then, and it was not something that outsiders could insert at all. It is conceivable that in the future operation on the northern front, the first division will attack Baoding, the second division will attack Tianjin, and the third battalion of Tannin is likely to attack Taiyuan to contain the enemy army in the west.

Luo Yukun's ranking this time was only below Xiao Mo, and it was because the goal of the winter offensive was to reach Tongguan in the west and Jingmen and Suizhou in the south, which already completely included Henan Province and cut into Huguang.

Considering that Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang was likely to react, the rumors of the expansion of the independent battalion into a division also blew very tightly, and even heard that it would be expanded into a division before the second battalion of the guards.

Seeing that others always have a fight, and they will win as soon as they fight, and if they win, they will be expanded and promoted, Chen De is even more anxious, so much so that he didn't even pay attention to what the crown prince said later.

Of course, it doesn't matter, anyway, the minutes of the meeting will be distributed to the civil and military forces attending the meeting.

"Zuihou," Zhu Cihong stood up, "There is a new personnel appointment: the Governor of the General Training Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, from today onwards, the Admiral Han and Tu officers and soldiers, the Hang Zhendong General Yin, and the Zuo Governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion Qin Liangyu.
