"Your Highness, there is quite turmoil in Wu Sangui's army." Wu Changchun stood in front of Zhu Cihong's case, his eyes were level into the distance, and he didn't dare to look at the crown prince.

Zhu Cihong had a thick stack of reports of the ten-member regiment in his hand, eight or nine out of ten of which were the taboo remarks of General Wu Sangui, and the rest were some uneasy voices in the camp. Zhu Cihong roughly flipped through and said, "Obviously, the general of the Wu army has a suspicion of the instructor. ”

Wu Changchun did not answer. It is not his duty to comment on whether the instructor is doing right or wrong, and he can only stand up and speak out when the instructor is spreading bad ideas.

"But it's human nature, everyone wants to make a difference." Zhu Cihong trusts Wu Changchun very much, and he is a little unscrupulous when he speaks. He added: "Wu Jun and Chuang Camp are both newly surrendered soldiers, and it is normal to have some strange words. In the implementation of military law, it can be from loose to tight, before the 19th year of Chongzhen, education and punishment were the mainstay, and after the turn of the year, the criminalization and punishment were the same as those of other old battalions. ”

"Humble duty understands." Wu Changchun responded.

Zhu Cihong picked up the porcelain jar specially made for himself by the internal supervisor, took a sip of tea, and said: "When the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was restructured, I didn't include the Ministry of Military Law, do you know the reason for this?" ”

"I don't think about it, I just think that if there are more than one official, there will be more possibilities for love and malpractice." Wu Changchun responded.

Zhu Cihong smiled.

With Wu Changchun's ability, he has always been unable to stand out in the Soldiers and Horses, and it is indeed because he doesn't know what he wants.

"You should know that there were military and civilian lawsuits and other matters in the guard's office, and all the decisions were made in the capital, and the local pastoral officials could not intervene." Seeing Wu Changchun nodding, Zhu Cihong continued: "Now that I am in Shandong, Henan and other places, I have entered the prefecture and county, and there is no command and envoy in each province, and the metropolitan governor's office has no judicial power. There's a vacancy here. ”

Wu Changchun still nodded slightly, expressing agreement.

"The soldiers have been punished, from detection to punishment, and they are all decided by the military judge. Isn't the work of a military judge too heavy? Zhu Cihong said with a smile.

"It's also easy to breed love." Wu Changchun did not exonerate himself from suspicion at all, and said Zhu Cihong's heart directly.

"So I want to divide the Ministry of Justice into four." Zhu Cihong said: "The ten-person group is still one of the secret chess, don't let people know the way." On the surface, the military law supervision, and the investigation of violations of law and discipline by soldiers are attributed to the Supervision and Inspection Department of the Fifth Service, which is under the General Staff Headquarters, and you are the director. ”

"Yes!"

"Filing a complaint against a violation of discipline or law. The establishment of the five military procuratorates is self-contained. As for the adjudication of the verdict, the establishment of the Dali Temple of the Five Armies is also a family of its own. In these two yamen, from the chief official to the backbone candidate. It's up to you to recommend them. Only those who must be honest and steady can be competent. Zhu Cihong said.

"Humble duty understands!" Wu Changchun stepped forward to respond, and his heart was quite agitated.

"If you don't have anything to do, you can retire." Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Governor Wudu." ”

Wu Changchun's heart was hot. Immediately the military salute was repeated. Stepping out, he almost tripped over the threshold. He thought that his power was scattered and he could only serve as a small director. Who knew that the director of the department still wore the hat of "governor"! Now the left governors of the four headquarters are the de facto number one, so he is likely to be a "right governor".

Since he is the right governor, the military rank must also be raised by one level.

Thinking that he finally got his wish and carried the golden emblem, Wu Changchun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was decisive that day and did not make the wrong choice.

The restructuring of the military justice system had the least impact on the military, and the original military judges were only replaced with the brand of the Supervision Department of the Fifth Service. Ordinary soldiers are not sensitive to this change, at best, they only feel that the military judge has changed from the king of heaven to a stove prince who makes small reports. As for the newly established Five Armies Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Five Armies Dali Temple. There is no chance to make a presence visible yet, and it is not the focus of discussion.

There are people who are particularly sensitive to this.

That is Zuo Guangxian, Niu Chenghu and other original Ming commanders.

By the time they joined the army, the civilian authorities were already very powerful. Legend has it that Li Rusong dared to despise the civilian officials of the prison army and ignore the maids, but in the eyes of Zuo Guangxian and Niu Chenghu, it can only be a "legend".

Because the reality is that Yuan Chonghuan casually killed Mao Wenlong, the commander of a town-Mao Wenlong is not only a powerful general with a seal, but also a sword in his hand, and he will be beheaded. As for Sun Chuanting's beheading of Renlong, and Hong Chengchou's beheading of Zukuan, those are all legal acts. This shows the low status of military generals.

Now that the crown prince has independently established the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies and the Dali Temple of the Five Armies, it seems that the two civilian yamen have crowned the word "five armies", but in fact they are appointed from the military judges, which undoubtedly means that in the future, the military affairs will be managed by their own military generals, and civilian officials will no longer be allowed to interfere.

Although the East Palace has never sent a civilian supervisor, with this guarantee, it still makes these soldiers who have experienced "civil officials regard military ministers as slaves" a lot more at ease.

"My Ming law stipulates that if the sentence is above imprisonment, it must be sent to the provincial verdict. Even if an ordinary person commits the crime of killing his head, he must be sent to the Criminal Department for trial and conviction. After the criminal department is convicted, it must be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for verification, and the Dali Temple will approve the trial. Only major crimes such as rebellion are decided, and the three law divisions of the Dali Temple will be presented to the Holy Son of Heaven and sent personnel to carry them out, otherwise they are all 'decided after the autumn'. Shengdou is still like this for the small people, let alone the civil officials.

Yuan Chonghuan committed serious crimes such as losing the border, stealing money, beheading the commander, arsoning with the enemy, stopping the army without fighting, and insisting on entering the city, and the trial lasted for eight months before the punishment was drawn up by the three law divisions. Why did Mao Wenlong, He Renlong, Zu Kuan and others all kill a civil official with a sword? This is not only not in line with human feelings, but also not in line with the law of Daming! After Wu Changchun left, Zhu Cihong personally went to Qin Liangyu's public hall to blow the wind with the chief instructor of the Zuodu Governor.

"When Sun Chengzong was guarding Liao, he suggested that the saint should re-enforce the power of the generals. He said it well, but he didn't do it authentically. Zhu Cihong said: "Yuan Chonghuan was patrolling under him at that time, and he had a quarrel with a general, and then ordered his entourage to behead the general!" After Sun Chengzong found out, he only said 'ridiculous' twice. In the end, he lost some money to the general's family and shadowed his son. Isn't that conniving? ”

Zhu Cihong let out a long breath: "The affairs in the army are originally different from civil affairs, and they involve the state and the city, how can you be careless?" Since I established the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies and the Dali Temple of the Five Armies, I also hope that all the generals and non-commissioned officers can serve the country with peace of mind and have no risk of dying in vain. ”

"I understand." Qin Liangyu bowed and had already made a draft in his heart. It is ready to be handed over to the talents of the "Tiger Ben" to write and print.

As a woman, although Qin Liangyu doesn't read much, she is better at knowing how to speak. This may be the talent of women, which she uses in ideological work according to the situation. Therefore, the white pole soldiers are good at fighting and willing to fight, most of which is due to Qin Liangyu's ability to inspire.

A few days later, Zhu Cihong got the manuscript of "Tiger Ben Daily" with the fragrance of ink. The headline on the front page is an explanation, review, and outlook for the military rule of law. The full text is clean and neat, in line with the main theme, and won the heart of the crown prince.

It was originally just a vague concept, but under this brilliant article. The generals who were born in Jinyiwei really knew how low the status of the generals used to be, and how low it was. From this, I remembered the bittersweet thoughts, and I also knew how much I was used by the heavenly family today.

As for the grassroots instructors, they even explained in the army, consciously or unconsciously: This is all the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In this era, even if there is harmony within the Heavenly Family. Outsiders will not be naïve to think that the emperor and the crown prince are really father and son. In the Tang Dynasty, there were national generals who refused to participate in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, but now if there is such a figure in the army. The entire class of discipline officers will be in trouble with him.

The civil servants did not care about the two newly established yamen. What's more, the most important thing now is the discussion of the "Mandate of Heaven Zen Position". Although there are not many emperors who have lived past the age of fifty, if the emperor really implements the Zen throne system, whether it is a return to the rule of the holy king or a destruction of human ethics, this has to be debated.

During this time, Zhu Cihong even stopped the work of newspaper excerpts, on the one hand, to rectify the army. Supervise and urge the reorganization of the surrendered army, appoint local officials in the Guangfu District, prepare for the establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department and the Municipal General Administration, establish the Huangming University of Law and Politics, personally train legal talents, and organize people to interpret and annotate the "Da Ming Law", "Punishment Regulations", "Ming Huidian" and other codes, and rewrite the new law.

Any one of these things taken out separately will cause an uproar. But before the question of the succession of the throne, it has become an inconsequential matter.

This trick is the only way for civil officials to exhaust the emperor's body and mind, Chongzhen also suffered from it in the previous seventeen years, and now Zhu Cihong can be regarded as returning his body and avenging his father in his own way.

……

Zhu Cihong originally planned not to carry out large-scale military operations before the beginning of spring in the coming year, even if the north is only based on defense, but the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, on the eve of the winter solstice festival in November of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army is the main force of 50,000 armor soldiers of the above three banners, and Jierharang himself is the general who was ordered, Duoduo is the deputy general of the Chinese army, with 70,000 green battalions as minions, and rushes towards Tianjin.

Abatai and Hong Chengchou also gathered their forces and used them as auxiliary attacks on the west side of Tianjin, with a total strength of about 100,000.

In addition to these two armies, Dorgon was able to muster nearly 80,000 horses in his hands. This force cannot all be used to defend Beijing, but must be sent to important passes such as Xifengkou, Gubeikou, and Shanhaiguan to ensure that their back road is not lost. In addition, there was a group of about 20,000 men and horses, who began to secretly transport the people and property plundered by this trip out of the customs as much as possible, obviously preparing to withdraw.

Dolgon himself felt that he was very well prepared and secret, in fact, whether it was Song Hongye or the Golden Scale Society, they had already transmitted the dynamics of the Qing army to Zhu Cihong.

"I'm afraid Tianjin will not be able to protect." You Shiwei and other staff officers were not optimistic about this battle, because the disparity in strength was too great.

Xiao Donglou's second division was only 12,000 after it was reorganized, plus Xiao Mo's first division and Zhou Yuji's cavalry battalion, there were only 25,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry in the entire Beizhi battlefield. Although Abatai and Hong Chengchou must leave some troops in Baoding, the first division also needs to ensure the safety of Zhending.

"Ten times the force." Zhu Cihong lightly tapped the sand table: "This is the ideal state of Sun Wu to encircle the enemy." ”

"Your Highness, did you order Xiao Donglou and the others to withdraw to Cangzhou? If the Eastern Capture Division had been divided and stayed in Tianjin, the frontal battlefield pressure of our army would have been much less. "There is a staff officer.

Zhu Cihong pondered for a long time before he spit out three words: "Fight him!" ”
