As early as the time of the capture of Shenyang, Yang Chengying was already thinking about reform.

After all, if you want to fully receive the fruits left by Houjin, you have to absorb all the former ministers of Houjin to Liaodong Town.

Even if he is not crowned king by the imperial court, he will do this thing.

After Fan Wencheng and others were familiar with the situation, the matter of reform was put on the agenda again.

The palace, the study.

"After these years of war, although the Jurchen suffered heavy losses, the preliminary statistics of the number of Jurchens were more than 30,000 men and more than 20,000 Han troops.

There are also Mongol tribes such as Horqin, Ao Han, Naiman, Bahrain, and Zarut who were attached to the Jurchens in their early years.

If you want these people to have a sense of belonging, you have to appoint the best of them and digest and absorb them little by little.

Therefore, reform is imperative. ”

Sitting in front of Yang Chengying, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Zu Dashou, Liu Xingzuo, etc., are all out-and-out their own people, and some words are naturally more straightforward.

"My lord, the ministers think that in order to hide people's eyes, the positions should be revised."

Fan Wencheng clenched his fists and said: "Following the habits of the dynastic regime for thousands of years is conducive to maintaining the rule and further developing outward. ”

This is not the first time that Fan Wencheng has proposed to change some of his awkward official positions.

And it's not just him, there are also some people who come from other places to be officials, and it is also highly recommended.

Since the history of letters in China, some official names have been deeply implanted in the blood, and if they are changed, it will be very awkward.

Yang Chengying saw that many people nodded, so he said: "Since everyone has this idea, let's agree on the name of the official position together." ”

"But......" Yang Chengying changed his words, "some must be retained, or even expanded." ”

"What are the positions?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"The Government Council and the Privy Council were retained, the Imperial History Yuan was renamed the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and the Dali Temple was renamed the Dali Yuan, and the above four institutions belonged to one level."

Yang Chengying went on to explain his original intention for establishing these official positions.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials, and the Dali Yuan is responsible for hearing criminal or civil cases. If the people are not satisfied with the sentence, they can appeal to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Who should make the law?"

Fan Wencheng asked.

As a traditional scholar, he attaches great importance to the matter of prison, which is a very important means of educating the people.

"Since I have been away for many years, I have decided to hand over the legislative power to the Legislature. The date of the court meeting is not clearly stipulated, but is stipulated according to the actual situation. At the council, the laws of the territory were determined. ”

Yang Chengying said: "Before and after the court meeting, the criminal department will write laws and decrees, and then discuss them during the court meeting, and implement them after amendment. ”

This is tantamount to holding the power in your hands.

Because when the court is in session, it is not just about discussing legal issues.

"Then the salt and iron meeting, is there still a need to hold it?"

Fan Wencheng asked hurriedly.

In the past, Yang Chengying was not in Bac Ninh Province, and Fan Wencheng held it on his behalf.

"Of course, it has to be held, and the salt and iron meeting is about money. It is fixed at the beginning of the month every year, whether I am in Shenyang or not, it must be opened! ”

Yang Chengying said: "It is necessary to further refine it to ensure that major corruption does not breed and affect the development of the whole town." ”

Fan Wencheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There are some things that are better to figure out.

Zu Dashou interjected: "The king, the minister is a big old man and doesn't understand these things. But the minister understands one thing, that is, he is afraid to say it, for fear of making the king angry. ”

"I've always been humble and honest, you just have to tell it." Yang Chengying said with a smile.

"King, why don't you take the two yellow flags and the positive blue flag under your command?"

Zu Dashou is quick to talk.

Yang Chengying was stunned, he hadn't thought about this question yet.

The two yellow flags are the pro-rate rate of the Great Khan of the Later Jin, and the Zhenglan Banner is also the pro-rate rate of the Great Khan because it is the banner owner of Haoge.

But Huang Taiji's direct descendants were either killed in battle, or they were too young to have a suitable person to rule the three banners.

For this reason, Yang Chengying had a headache for a while.

"Tell me about it." Yang Chengying said busily.

"The king's foundation has been decided, and the reform of the army is also imperative."

Zu Dashou said: "The two yellow flags and the positive blue flag are both the great khan's pro-rate, which is a tradition. The king could reorganize them into an army, with Shuo Sai as the nominal commander, and then a competent man as the deputy commander. ”

Yang Chengying's eyes lit up: "Keep talking." ”

"The king already has a guard army under his name, so he might as well have another one. Moreover, the three banners have already suffered heavy losses, and it is somewhat difficult to reorganize an army. ”

Zu Dashou said with a smile: "You can supplement a large number of auxiliary soldiers and mix them with the old three banners." So there are two reliable armies, so why not. ”

"Wonderful!" Yang Chengying slapped his thigh.

The others nodded their heads as well.

Qiu Ba understands Qiu Ba!

I never thought of this.

It seems that the work of the continuous rotation type is not very good.

"When you say that, you remind me."

Yang Chengying said: "I asked Daishan and Dolgon to enter the government as scholars, Zilharang was in charge of an army with the rank of deputy privy envoy, and Azig also had the rank of deputy privy envoy to manage the troops of Dolgon and Duoduo. ”

Of the eight flags, three of them belonged to Yang Chengying.

The two red flags and Liu Xingzuo's troops were combined into one army, and the two white flags and Li Yangeng's Han army were combined into one army.

The blue flag and Jin Li, Gao Hongzhong, Shi Tingzhu and other Han armies were combined into one army.

In this way, the Eight Banners were completely incorporated into the Liaodong Army sequence.

"King, let's hurry up and execute." Zu Dashou urged.

"This is not in a hurry, you already have a goal, so don't be afraid that your mouth will burn."

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "This kind of thing has to be done step by step, first of all, we must determine the land of the Eight Banners." Then determine the land under their name, and then the army. ”

The crowd felt justified.

Liu Xingzuo said: "King, the families of the soldiers who committed the crime in the Zhengbai Flag are innocent, can they be pardoned?"

I believe that others will take this as a warning and dare not offend Wang Tianwei again. ”

"Yes. But after the New Year, forgiveness, a new year, a new atmosphere. ”

Yang Chengying nodded in agreement.

Punishment is not the goal, but the combination of grace and power and the stability of the place is.

"Is the king sure that the time for the court meeting?"

Fan Wencheng groaned slightly, clenched his fists and asked.

For military affairs, Fan Wencheng deliberately did not get involved, but focused on government affairs.

"It's set on the first day of the Lunar New Year, what do you think?"

Yang Chengying asked.

"King, give them a little time to spend a good year at home."

Ning Wan begged: "The first day of the Lunar New Year is too cruel, it is better to set it on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year." ”

"In my opinion, it is better to be sooner rather than later."

Fan Wencheng said: "Since February is spring ploughing, we must not violate the season and delay the people's cultivation. ”

It is already a tradition for officials in charge of agriculture to go to the fields to guide cultivation during the spring ploughing season every year.

Yang Chengying said: "It's still set on the first day of the new year, and the people who participated in the court meeting this time include the Tumut Department who is far away in Naturalization City. ”

After the New Year, there is not much problem for the Mongolian tribes.

Yang Chengying was worried that Oirat Mongolia would take advantage of the opportunity to make a big move, which would lead to changes in the situation in Tibet.

Since many important matters had to be decided at the court, the meeting was dissolved after an hour.

Everyone went back to their homes and had a comfortable year.

The palace is no exception.

But there is one thing that has troubled the princess Zhu Huixian for a long time.
