Zhu Youzhen decided to establish the Generalissimo's Office in the name of wartime needs.

It was reorganized on the basis of the original Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces.

The Generalissimo's Office consists of the General Staff Headquarters, the War Department, the Navy Department, the Finance Department, the General Armament Office, the General Political Office, the General Logistics Office, and the General Training Office.

The Ming Emperor personally served as the generalissimo.

That is to say, the subordinate organs of the Generalissimo's Office are unified and responsible to Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, and are not subordinate to the Six Ministries and the Cabinet.

At the same time, the commanders of the twelve theaters, namely the General Corps and the Governor-General, were also directly accountable to the Generalissimo's Office.

In doing so, Zhu Youzhen wanted to separate the military from the government, the cabinet from the civilian administration, and the generalissimo's office from the military, and the military department to act as a bridge of coordination between the two.

The Generalissimo's Office was established, and the next step was the appointment of the commanders of the theaters.

Zhu Youzhen's important purpose in bringing seven members of the cabinet to Huai'an Mansion was to set aside the officials in Nanjing and directly set up a command system in Huai'an Mansion from the Generalissimo of the Central Committee to the local governors and soldiers.

Before the establishment of the Generalissimo's Office, the Cabinet and the Celebrant were still an important link in the issuance of decrees.

Therefore, after Zhu Youzhen asked the cabinet to draft a vote and the celebrant to approve the red, and issued his own order to establish the generalissimo's office, he directly announced the candidates for the 12 theater governors and commanders-in-chief by order of the generalissimo's office.

Thereinto.

Shandong Theater, including part of the Beizhili region now controlled by the Ming Dynasty, Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department, was changed to the right capital Yushi as the governor of Shandong, and Zhu Zhaoming, the emperor's sister and Zhou Yuji's wife, served as the chief military officer.

Zhou Yuji was transferred to Huaiyang as the chief military officer to assist Zhu Youzhen in training the New Guards Army.

In the Henan Theater, Lu Daqi was appointed as the governor and chief military officer of Henan by the rank of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, and ruled the military and political power of Henan.

Henan is the land of the four wars, has long been the people's livelihood withered, and there is no danger to defend, Zhu Youzhen is not at ease to let Xu Dingguo, who originally surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to take over the general army, so he let Lu Daqi directly take over.

In the Fengyang Theater, Li Banghua directly served as the governor with the dignity of a scholar, and Liu Fangliang served as the chief military officer.

Cabinet scholars can concurrently hold the post of local governor, but this can only be Zhu Youzhen's absolute confidant and must be in the Gyeonggi region in order to coordinate the military and government.

In the Yingtian War Zone, Lu Zhenfei served as the governor, and He Xin, the imperial horse supervisor, was appointed as the commander-in-chief.

The Huaiyang Theater naturally had Li Mingrui as the governor and Zhou Yuji as the commander-in-chief.

In this way, the three theaters of Fengyang, Yingtian, and Huaiyang are all the descendants of Zhu Youzhen's southward migration.

The Susong War Zone is a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also a concentration of gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, so Zhu Youzhen simply let Gao Jie, who was born a thief, serve as the chief military officer and governor here.

In this way, it can be regarded as avoiding the Jiangnan gentry from controlling military power.

After all, people like Gao Jie have never been compatible with scholars, and now Zhu Youzhen has let Gao Jie be stationed in Susong, undoubtedly intentionally disgusting these gentry.

In the Huguang Theater, Zhu Youzhen could only nominally appoint Zuo Liangyu as the commander-in-chief and He Tengjiao as the governor-in-chief, but the imperial court did not have much actual control.

In the Jiangxi Theater, Zhu Youzhen made Yuan Jixian the governor and Huang Degong the chief military officer.

In this way, Huang Degong's army directly changed the area of Jiujiang and Nanchang in Jiangxi Province in the name of transfer, and together with Liu Fangliang in Anqing and Luzhou, he guarded against Zuo Liangyu's troops from the east and south.

In the Yunnan-Guizhou Theater and the Liangguang Theater, Zhu Youzhen didn't know who to draft for a while, so he could only put it on hold for the time being.

In the Zhejiang Theater, the focus was on the prevention of pirates from the Japanese and Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, and Zhu Youzhen made Sun Yuanlun, who had worked with Zhou Yuji in Shandong and was also his confidant who went south with Hu, to serve as the governor of Zhejiang and the chief military officer.

In the land of Fujian, Zhu Youzhen transferred his entourage to Shen Jiayun, a henchman who went south, as the governor of Fujian, and the general soldier of Fujian was naturally Zheng Zhilong.

Zhu Youzhen must now also admit Zheng Zhilong's strength in Fujian, and he has to show his reuse.

In addition to Fujian, Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Liangguang.

The three most important Gyeonggi theaters and the three forward theaters of Jiangxi, Henan, and Shandong have all arranged reliable personnel.

Next, Zhu Youzhen decided to continue to appoint the head of the central subsidiary organ of the Generalissimo's Office.

Zhou Yuji concurrently led the General Chief of the War Department, the General Staff Headquarters was temporarily replaced by Shangshu Ma Shiying of the Military Department, the Admiralty was temporarily led by Liu Kongzhao, the Governor of Caojiang, the Finance Department was temporarily led by Han Shoujing, the General Political Office was temporarily led by Jin Xuan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, the General Armament Office was temporarily led by Shi Kefa, the General Logistics Office was temporarily led by Li Mingrui, the Governor of Huaiyang, and the General Training Office was temporarily led by Liu Fangliang.

In this way, the entire Generalissimo's Mansion can be regarded as completed.

"Now that you all know what your position is, you should guard that land, then the next step is the formation of the twelve guards, your previous forces are all disrupted, after you go back, you must finish the old and weak within a month, the headquarters will send all your own soldiers to Huai'an Mansion, and then report your actual number of troops;

I will make up for you the scale of the main army of 50,000 and the auxiliary army of 100,000, do not deceive, I will order the Jinyi Guard to investigate, in addition, my Generalissimo's Mansion only sends 150,000 rings, if you want to recruit more troops, you must either report to me or pay your own money!

In addition, in addition to Fengyang, Yingtian, and Huaiyang, you will train your own troops and build your own teams, but there is also a competition mechanism, and in the future, I will hold military exercises in the name of the Generalissimo's Office, if any of you wins the most, and at the same time, in the future war, whoever performs the best, I will confer on him the hereditary position of the country of replacement, and even let him be indifferent to the chief general of the Northern Expedition. ”

In addition, I have made a decree here, who can restore the capital in the Central Plains in the future, and be crowned a king! ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words came out, the ministers couldn't help but rub their hands, although the king with a different surname has always been taboo by the monarch, but he still symbolizes the highest status of the individual in the system, so he can still attract countless people.

Except for Zhou Yuji, Li Mingrui, Liu Fangliang, Li Banghua, He Xin, Lu Zhenfei, Ma Shiying, Liu Kongzhao, Han Shoujing, Shi Kefa, etc., all the others began to leave Huai'an Mansion one after another to accept new appointments.

Lu Daqi's face was solemn, now that the war was spreading to Henan, although he didn't understand why His Majesty made him the governor of Henan and the commander-in-chief, he could only grit his teeth and move forward and do his best to hold Henan.

And Huang Degong looked indifferent, and took the initiative to greet Liu Fangliang and invited him to find a restaurant in Huai'an Mansion to talk, after all, Liu Fangliang was about to take over his territory, and he could explain some things to Liu Fangliang.

Although Liu Fangliang was not satisfied with Zhou Yuji, he was also quite polite to Huang Degong, who was respected by the Hou Ye, and now seeing that he was pouring his money into teaching, he also added admiration, and he humbly asked for advice.

Gao Jie was very happy, he ran over with excitement and greeted Liu Fangliang: "Brother, brother, I'm going to Suzhou, I heard that there are many beauties in that place, do you want my brother to find a few for you when the time comes." ”

"Bastard, Your Majesty enforces the law strictly, if you dare to mess around after you go to Suzhou, be careful that Your Majesty wants your head!"

Liu Fangliang glanced at Zhou Yuji as he spoke, and couldn't help but snort.

Here, as soon as Gao Jie was said by Liu Fangliang, he saw Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, come over: "Xingping Bo Gaojie, Your Majesty summoned you!" ”
