Chapter 92: Martial Emperor Song Xuan!
It is easy to fight the world and it is difficult to sit in the world, after entering the capital, Song Xuan directly issued an order to rename the capital as the imperial capital.
After Li Shanchang and others arranged the follow-up matters of Jinling City, they led the officials and troops of the Ministry of the Interior to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
The meaning of this move is self-evident, that is, the establishment of a new dynasty should take Dadu as the capital.
This order naturally attracted the attention of many people, and even Xu Da Lanyu and others went up one after another, persuading Song Dashuai to think about it again.

They are all southerners, and they all have fields and industries in Jinling, so they naturally don't want to leave the prosperous place of Jinling and settle in the north.
But Song Xuan's will was extremely firm, and no one could change his decision.
......
More than ten days later, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen led a group of civil officials in Jinling City to finally come to the imperial capital.
As soon as they arrived in the imperial capital, the two didn't even have the heart to rest, so they hurried to the imperial city to meet Song Xuan, the lord.
In the imperial study, Song Xuan talked for a long time with these two most relied on Wenchen, but in the end, the two still failed to persuade the founding ancestor to make the determination to set the imperial capital.
In the early morning of the next day, Song Xuan changed into a black dragon robe under the service of the inner attendant, and then came to the Daming Palace.
Daming Palace, in the Yuan Dynasty, is generally rarely used, only when major ceremonies or important decisions are made, the court meeting will be opened here.
When I came to the Daming Palace, the two sides were already full of civil and military officials.
This is the first time that Song Xuan officially held a court meeting after entering the imperial capital.
It stands to reason that Song Xuan has not officially ascended the throne, and he directly began to wear a dragon robe to be inconsistent.
But Song Xuan doesn't care about this, the whole world has been defeated, he can wear whatever he wants, who dares to object?
Under the awe-inspiring and fanatical gaze of the Chinese martial arts officials in the hall, Song Xuan sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe and looked around at everyone in the hall.
The next moment, led by Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, they bowed directly first.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The civil and military officials then knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
In the sound of long live the mountain call, the first grand meeting of the new dynasty can be regarded as officially begun.
Then, the first topic of the court meeting was not to reward the meritorious heroes, but to discuss the name of the country.
The speed at which the Jinling regime seized the world was so fast that before Li Shanchang and the others even had time to think about the country name, their lord had already sat on the throne.
Then, the hall suddenly became lively.
All kinds of messy country names have been recommended, and even the names of the Divine Dynasty, the Celestial Empire and the like have been mentioned, and Song Xuan watched it with relish and was quite interesting.
In the end, he, the emperor of the new dynasty, in the expectation of civil and military officials, was arbitrary and chose the word "wu" as the country name.
In this regard, Baiguan does not have much opinion.
Just as Zhang Wuji started with Mingjiao and took Ming as the country name after the founding of the country, Song Xuan was born in the Wudang faction and took Wu as the country name, which is not surprising.
Of course, the civil officials are still a little unhappy in their hearts.
This country name makes them feel like they are inferior to military attachés.
The country name was determined, the Wu Dynasty was established, and the next step was naturally to discuss matters such as ascending the throne.
The emperor's accession to the throne is a top priority, and only after the new emperor ascends the throne can these founding heroes be rewarded.
The matter of enthronement was very cumbersome, and some civil officials of the Ministry of the Interior quoted scriptures and classics to say a lot of enthronement etiquette, and Song Xuandu began to feel sleepy and impatient when he heard it.
In the end, with a wave of his sleeves, the cadres were arbitrary, and all the messy and cumbersome ceremonies were canceled, except for the most important rituals to worship the heavens.
As for the date of enthronement, it is set on the first day of the first month of the following year, the day of the renewal of Vientiane.
......
When the Wu Dynasty was first established, the civil and military teams naturally needed to be reconstructed.
In the Great Dynasty Meeting, Song Xuan did not set up six ministries as in previous dynasties, but split the Ministry of the Interior into three departments.
Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Justice.
On the military attaché's side, Emperor Wu Song Xuan set up a military department to take charge of the military.
The four major departments are relatively independent, and the heads of the departments are all Zhengyipin officials, who are directly responsible to the emperor!
And the chief of the four major departments, Song Xuan immediately made an appointment in the court.
The chief official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is Li Shanchang, who is the head of a hundred officials, although he does not have the name of the prime minister, but he has the fact of the prime minister.
In the position of the chief official of the Ministry of Finance, Song Xuan arranged Hu Qian, the first minister, from the dragon minister.
He has already given the treatment he should give, as for whether Hu Qian, an opportunist, can sit in that position, it depends on his own ability.
And the Ministry of Justice, which has the power to supervise hundreds of officials and legislate, Song Xuan naturally handed it over to Liu Bowen.
These three civil officials, when Song Xuan appointed them, there was no sound in the court, and these three people were all there in terms of qualifications and merits, and no one dared to say anything.
However, when the chief officer of the military department was appointed, there were differences among the hundreds of officials in the court.
In terms of military merits, it is naturally Lan Yu and Xu Da who are the highest, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun are not far behind, and for a while, who should be the head of the military department cannot be determined.
Don't look at these four people are all from Fengyang County and have a close relationship, but the generals and officers under their command don't care about this, who doesn't want their own generals to be able to sit in the position of the first person in the military department?
In the end, it was Song Xuan who made the decision, and Zhu Yuanzhang took the role.
After all, he is the Ming Taizu in the original history, and his ability is naturally there, so there is no doubt about this.
If Song Xuan could only stay in this world for a year, this person would naturally be the first person he would clean up.
But now the situation is different, he can easily survive to death in this Manchu Dynasty, and the merits of the lord or something are completely untenable in his place.
The four major departments in the court were established, and the civil and military officials discussed the local administrative system.
The civil officials agreed that the reason for the fall of the Yuan Dynasty was not only the brutality of its own rule, but also the loose management of the local area.
They don't care whether the people are dead or alive, as long as the taxes are paid on time in various places, the local gentry and even ordinary people do what they like, and the court doesn't care at all.
In other dynasties, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but during the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial power could not even reach the county level.
The court officials lacked real power, and most of the power was in the hands of the local gentry and powerful people, and was not controlled by the local government at all.
Li Shanchang and other civil officials unanimously agreed that it was particularly important for the imperial power to go to the countryside to organize households and gather the people, and that the various decrees of the imperial court must be clearly down to the township level.
Song Xuan agreed with their views and divided the local administrative levels into five levels: province, government, county, township, and village.
The establishment of patrol stations in each township is actually similar to the township police station in later generations, and the director of the post of Jiupin official can greatly strengthen the control of the imperial court over the local villages.
As a newly established dynasty, the system or something is inevitably impossible to perfect, and there will always be various mistakes.
But Song Xuan doesn't care, as long as he lives long enough, there is time to improve little by little.
