Chapter 226: Carnival in the City

***

After four days, Qin Wu and his subordinate Wenwu discussed the settings and functions of each department under the "Four Generals" one by one, and finally decided on the framework and the specific responsibilities and powers of each department.

Such a major decision, involving such a wide range of aspects, can discuss the results in four days, this can definitely be described as speed, such a thing in the Ming Dynasty, there is no year and a half, you don't want to have a result, or even can't implement it at all.

After deciding on the structure of each department, Zuihou is personnel appointment and dismissal, which is much easier, there is nothing to fight about, it is basically decided by Qin Mu.

Sima An was appointed chief of the general staff, Meng Ke, Ma Yongzhen, and Liu Meng were all deputies, although the three of them were deputies, but because they all had specific control of the army, they were not much weaker than Sima An in terms of real power.

In battle, Sima An also has the right to transfer troops when formulating combat plans and dispatching troops, especially when conducting large-scale battles. The general battle order was to be given by Sima An.

Of course, Qin Mu, the "chairman of the Military Commission", holds the final decision on the war.

One of the most important departments under the General Staff is the War Department. He Liang was appointed as the head of the War Department.

The core function of the War Department is to be responsible for the planning of operations. At the same time, he led the campaign and tactical training of all armies; Responsible for the supplement, training, distribution and use of personnel in Jihua;

In a word, all other departments of the General Staff serve the War Department, and taking the Military Intelligence Department of the General Staff as an example, it mainly provides intelligence for the War Department for the War Department to formulate operational tasks in a targeted manner.

In fact, the chief of operations was the first person after the chief of the General Staff.

The General Supervision Department is under the control of Shao Hua, two days ago he proposed to let the singles' house be included in the General Staff Military Intelligence Department, Qin Mu not only did not blame him, but appointed him as the head of the General Supervision Department on the spot, the reason is that Qin Mu felt that his proposal was not out of selfishness, because the General Staff Military Intelligence Department was not under the control of his Supervision Department, and his proposal did not have the intention of fighting for power and profit.

On the contrary, Qin Mu felt that he was a persistent person. The real power of the General Inspectorate is not much weaker than that of the General Staff. In the future, the political commissars in the army will be dispatched by the General Supervision Department, and they will have the power to supervise the rewards and punishments of the generals and soldiers in the army. Therefore, the Inspector General must be a person who is persistent, principled and impartial.

Qin Mu, the general logistics officer, handed it over to Gu Yinxi.

Plug Yinxi, the word Zhongxuan, was born in the twenty-ninth year of Wanli of Mingshenzong (1601 AD), a native of Qianting Village, Qiting Town, Yixing, and a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637).

During his tenure as prefect of Changsha. There was a bandit Xiao Xiangyu who made a rebellion and defeated several officers and soldiers. Plug Yinxi led the township soldiers to break the thieves and kill the thieves, so he became famous for knowing the soldiers.

When Zhang Xianzhong went south to Huguang, Yin Xianmin, the general soldier of Huguang, and others opened the gate of Changsha to surrender, blocking Yin Xiyi and not obeying the thief, and was tortured in prison to death, but fortunately, Qin Mu quickly recaptured Changsha and saved his life.

Because he was grateful to Qin Mu for saving his life, he was extremely disappointed in Daming. Du Yinxi resolutely threw himself into Qin Mu's subordinates, and so far, he was the highest official under Qin Mu.

Because of his outstanding ability, Qin Mu appointed him as the head of the General Logistics Department, and everyone had no objection. The head of the General Logistics Department is a fat job in peacetime, but in wartime it is definitely a hard job that cannot be more bitter, and it can be expected that the next will be a constant war. Therefore, few people envied Du Yinxi, and some people even cast sympathetic glances at him.

The head of the General Armament Department is Wu Jinxi.

Wu Jinxi, the word Zi granted. A native of Wujiang, Jiangnan, he was originally a Wuchang magistrate, Zhang Xianzhong was held hostage by the rebels when he broke Wuchang, and the court thought that he had been a thief and dismissed from his post for a crime. When Qin Mu broke Changsha, he rescued him, and has been helping Liu Boquan take care of the "household department" since then.

Wu Jinxi loves Taoism, is proficient in the art of Taiyi Qiren, and is proficient in various "strange skills". This is also the reason why Qin Mu handed over the General Armament Department to him.

It is said that Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty are all masters of Qimen Dunjia, Qin Mu doesn't know much about this aspect, but he really expects Wu Jinxi to surprise him in the future. For this reason, Qin Mu also asked him to concurrently serve as a staff officer of the Operations Department of the General Staff.

After Qin Mu appointed the chief officers of each department, the other subordinates were appointed by everyone through consultation, and it took another day to barely build the shelves of the General Staff Headquarters, the General Supervision Department, the General Logistics Department, and the General Armament Department.

At present, everything is just a sketch, and it will take time to fully enrich the four parts.

In terms of civil affairs, Zhuge Min, Li Yuan, and Yang Shen are still assisted by Zhuge Min, Li Yuan, and Yang Shen to handle daily government affairs.

Now everything is mainly military, and Qin Mu's group is also somewhat similar to the military government, in addition to Liu Boquan, the "head of the household department", another person was selected to serve as the "imperial envoy of the left capital" of the "Metropolitan Procuratorate".

Now these people are only relying on Qin Mu's power to exercise such powers in Huguang Jiangxi, and in terms of specific names, they are still only Qin Mu's staff officers. As for the "Ministry of Works, Ministry of Officials" and so on, none of these functions have been set up at present. It is still operating in the original governor's yamen structure.

The person in charge of the "Metropolitan Inspection Academy" is called Bai Tie, the character Zijian, thirty-six years old, a native of Yueyang, a person from a high background, and Qin Mu failed to do the first three attempts, but he is an extraordinary talent and has an upright personality. At the beginning, it was recommended by Yang Shen to Qin Mu, and he has been used as Shao Hua's deputy, in charge of the "patrol envoys" in various places, and his performance proved his ability, so Qin Mu helped him to this position.

After dealing with the mess, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and took this opportunity to invite everyone to watch the ceremony together, and officially held a marriage ceremony for Li Xiangjun.

Naturally, the gentry of Changsha who came to join in the fun, this time Qin Mu did not refuse to come, and the ceremony was very grand, and the streets of Changsha were empty, and the festive atmosphere swept away the gloomy atmosphere brought by the plague in February.

On the street where the sedan chair passed, people sang songs such as Dongfanghong that had been tampered with by Qin Mu, and the sound shook the sky and echoed all over the city.

There are also opera troupes in the city, which set up a stage on the street to perform free plays such as "Peach Blossom Fan" and "Chong Guan Yi Angry for the Red Face", singing the touching stories of Qin Mu and Li Xiangjun, a pair of talented and beautiful people.

It is said that some people also inquired about Li Xiangjun's promise to play a song "General Order" for Qin Mu, and some literati specializing in opera creation took this as a blueprint and are stepping up the creation, and the content of this play will express the touching scene of the beautiful woman touching the qin at the head of the city, and the handsome and brave general leading the army to fight to the death with the enemy outside the city, and finally completely annihilating the enemy and returning victorious.

It is said that the compilation work has been preliminarily completed, and the revision and polishing of zuihou is being made, and it will be staged in three days at the latest, and it will definitely present a visual feast to the people of Changsha at that time.

Li Xiangjun sat on the sedan chair, and when she saw this warm scene, she couldn't help crying with joy, and her tears stained her red makeup

What is the grand scene of Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, sending 5,000 soldiers to hold red lights and carry sedan chairs to welcome Kou Baimen?

Look at me, you don't need to send a soldier or a pawn, you have a city full of congratulations, and everyone sings together.

Moreover, when Kou Baimen went out of the cabinet, he followed the rules of the prostitute to leave the cabinet, and he could only go out of the cabinet at night. But his own husband insisted on holding a marriage ceremony for her during the day, which was to treat her as a woman from a good family, just this, even if there was no congratulatory guest, Li Xiangjun was moved enough.

Qin Mu didn't expect to make such a huge scene as the city celebrates, and the enthusiasm of the people can't be stopped, the troupes invariably perform for free, and the residents along the street spontaneously hang red lanterns and set off firecrackers, these are really not arranged by him;

There are also a large number of shops taking the opportunity to discount and reduce the price of big rewards, dining in the restaurant and giving away wine, the girls of the brothels in the city's Qinglou brothels hold the piano and carry the flute, dress up and go out to sing and dance on the street, and even the old lady who sells pancakes also comes to buy one get one free.

These were not arranged by Qin Mu.

On this day, the entire Changsha City actually triggered a carnival of the whole city because of Qin Mu's concubine, and there was such a grand scene, in addition to Qin Mu driving away the rebels, dividing the land and land, and quickly restoring the people's livelihood, these measures won the heartfelt support of the people.

The turmoil of the situation in the world, and the threat of the plague a few days ago, all of which caused a heavy sense of depression in the hearts of the people, whose emotions had been suppressed for too long, and it was rare to have a festive gimmick, so they joined in this spontaneous carnival together.
