Ling Jingyang knew that it was impossible to get a soldier and horse without blood, but he didn't immediately agree to He Zhen, but talked to He Zhen about other things: "General He, my governor of the five armies still lacks a commander of the rear army, I think you, and your subordinates are very suitable for the rear army." ”

When he first arrived, he served as the commander of the rear army, which was a very trusting performance, He Zhen had no food, grass and military salary in his mind, and he couldn't wait to kowtow to Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang looked at him excitedly, and said calmly: "General He, your department is stationed in Qinzhou." ”

Qinzhou is a state capital in the south of Taiyuan Mansion, here and the Dashun army is separated by a Pingyang Mansion, He Zhen does not have to beware of the retaliation of the Dashun army, the level of the rear army is the same as the central army and the reserve corps, they are all the commanders of the same governor, for the first product.

He Zhen was very grateful, Ling Jingyang paraded the army with him, more than 2,000 soldiers lined up in a phalanx, Ling Jingyang carried a waist knife and He Zhen walked all the way over, looking at this army soldiers full of spirit and high morale, and He Zhen kept nodding his head to show his satisfied attitude.

After the parade, Ling Jingyang left the barracks, and before leaving, he introduced Li Rufeng, the governor of the left capital, to He Zhen, who would set up an overseer in the rear army.

Soon after, Li Rufeng transferred fifty overseers to the rear army, and at the same time, Ling Jingyang also sent two thousand stones of grain and grass to He Zhen, as well as one thousand taels of silver, He Zhen's department was about to run out of food, and there was no military salary for half a month, Ling Jingyang sent grain and grass and military pay to save He Zhen, He Zhen also had to pinch his nose and welcome fifty overseer envoys into the army.

After the incorporation of He Zhen's troops, Ling Jingyang basically completed the framework of the ministries, and ordered Wang Tiedao to lead the left wing troops to enter Henan Mansion, and Lao Mantou led the right wing to go to Huaiqing Mansion in Henan.

In Ling Jingyang's heart, the Fusang people are the real enemy, and he resolutely cuts off the power of the Fusang people in the jurisdiction and maintains internal stability in the future battle with the Fusang people.

After the left and right wing troops set off, Ling Jingyang, in the name of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, ordered the reserve corps to continue to garrison Fenzhou, and gave enough food, grass and military pay in Fenzhou

Training.

At this time, Ling Jingyang did not have much grain, grass and silver left, and there were only 2,000 taels of silver and 4,000 stone of grain and grass left in the governor's mansion, and he urgently needed to get more grain, grass and silver.

After Ling Jingyang summoned the four major families, as well as the Fan family and other merchants, dozens of businessmen came to Ling Jingyang's mansion, Ling Jingyang beckoned everyone to eat, and said nothing at the dinner table.

The merchants still have money, not much grain and grass, but there are more than 100 boxes of silver that can be sent, and Ling Jingyang distributed these silvers and grain and grass to various armies as New Year's gifts.

On the twentieth day of the twentieth month of 1644, Ling Jingyang led the civil and military officials, the Iron Fist Legion, and the Central Army to open out, the purpose was the Yicheng of Pingyang Prefecture, Wang Mu ordered Jin Dashou and Ximen Zhu to lead a thousand people to Yicheng half a month ago, and repaired the Yicheng city wall and military camp, and transformed it into a palace based on a large courtyard.

When Ling Jingyang led the large army to arrive at Yicheng, the entire Yicheng took on a new look, although the palace, military camp, and camp were very simple, but after all, the framework was built.

The various ministries from Fenzhou settled in Yicheng on the same day, and Ling Jingyang led the officials of the Governor's Mansion to also stay in the camp.

On both sides of the camp, Ling Jingyang found a large courtyard for Bai Mandarin Duck and Bai Lushui and let the two women live separately.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

After the various departments settled down, Ling Jingyang appointed Wangbao as the garrison of Yicheng and was responsible for the security of Yicheng.

As for Baidun, Ling Jingyang ordered him and his subordinates to be transferred to the state and county government officials to help the local government regain its vitality, and Baidun was the tax operator to protect the safety of the taxes transported to the imperial court from all over the country.

These are not enough, Ling Jingyang needs a great righteousness, so he specially visited Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen is the Son of Heaven in name, but he has no soldiers, and he has no ambition.

Ling Jingyang asked him to issue a holy decree to restore local order, and Zhu Youzhen lazily asked Wang Chengen to draft the holy decree. After the two chatted about their daily life for a while, Ling Jingyang retired from him and returned to the Governor's Mansion with his own soldiers.

Wang Chengen also had a scheming, he found Wang Mu as soon as possible, pretending

discussed the holy decree with Wang Mu, but Wang Mu took him to the Governor's Mansion and waited for further instructions from Ling Jingyang.

After Ling Jingyang came back from the palace, he saw Wang Mu and Wang Chengen looking forward to it, and asked why they didn't draft the holy decree, Wang Mu respectfully said to him: "Governor, the prince specially came to ask the governor for instructions to draft the holy decree, so that all states and counties can restore the six rooms as soon as possible." ”

Ling Jingyang was not very familiar with the sixth room, so he asked Wang Mu curiously: "What is the sixth room?" ”

Wang Mu and Ling Jingyang introduced that the six rooms are the six rooms of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and the specific responsibilities are the appointment and dismissal of officials, the land, household registration, and taxation; ceremonies and imperial examinations; The military room is in charge of military affairs; The torture chamber is in charge of criminal law and prison proceedings; The workshop is in charge of engineering, construction, tuntian, water conservancy, etc.

The six rooms of the county government correspond to the six departments of the imperial court, and their leaders are appointed by the county decree to serve as scribes, who have no rank and are directly responsible for the county decree.

After listening to Wang Mu's introduction, Ling Jingyang thought about it and said to Wang Mu: "Lord Wang, the rights of the military rooms in the six rooms are borne by the Governor's Office, and the other five rooms are responsible for the local government. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Chengen's face was very unnatural, and Wang Mu was also a little reluctant, Wang Chengen originally wanted to take advantage of Wang Mu's background as a Ming official, fool him to open a door here, and snatch back part of the rights of the imperial court from the governor's mansion, but was kicked away by Ling Jingyang.

Wang Mu quickly drafted the holy decree, Ling Jingyang asked him to distribute it to various places as soon as possible, and then ordered the seven capitals of the Governor's Mansion to start work.

The first task that Ling Jingyang gave to the seven people was to collect the information of the generals of more than 1,000 generals in each army, and compile a general book from the aspects of name, age, place of origin, habits, specialties, and achievements, so as to lay a good foundation for the selection of generals in the future.

After Ling Jingyang gave them the task, he assigned five scribes to the seven people to assist them in their work.

This is the first mission of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the seven people are very attentive, and rushed to the armies with scribes a few years ago, and the armies heard that the Governor's Mansion came to collect information on the generals, and hurriedly summoned more than 1,000 generals, for fear that they would not be registered in the register and not be recognized by the Governor's Office.
