Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 566 Breaking into the General and Seeking Change (1)

Reform and restoration is not an easy task, especially in a complex internal force with solidified interests, if you want to effectively promote corresponding changes, there will inevitably be various constraints and opposition.

The core ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty was based on the subject of scholars, extended by a relatively large group of officials and gentry, and ruled a larger bottom group, and then built a complete ruling system.

It's just that with the passage of time, resources in various fields under the Ming Dynasty were concentrated towards a small group of people, making most people lose their living security.

Once catastrophic situations such as disasters and wars occur, the accumulated resentment will gradually be ignited until the Great Ming collapses.

What Emperor Chongzhen is currently doing is to gradually sort out this heterogeneous and chaotic order, open up new areas for distribution, and allow Daming to continue to stabilize.

Only Emperor Chongzhen knows how difficult it is and how deep the constraints are.

This also made Emperor Chongzhen feel a little envious in his heart many times, Li Zicheng, who occupied part of the territory of southern Liaoning.

After all, war is not the main theme, and stability is what the people want. This can be said to have been truly portrayed in Liaodong, which has suffered from wars.

Southern Liaoning, Gaizhou City.

"Didn't the children of Chongzhen set up a military aircraft office in the capital to take charge of the rebellion?"

Li Zicheng sat firmly on the handsome chair, held a dry pipe, looked around at everyone in the hall, and said loudly: "Then our Liaodong Rebel Army should also take charge of military affairs, so as to ensure that under the complicated situation in Liaodong, we can clearly and clearly target the Ming army and the Jiankui. Corresponding military system to ensure the stability of the situation.

The Commander-in-Chief decided to create a Privy Council, where the Commander-in-Chief will also lead the Privy Council Envoy, under the jurisdiction of the Seven University Scholars, and assist the Commander-in-Chief in coordinating the entire army, so as to better develop the Liaodong Rebel Army.

From now on, all the armies under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Rebel Army will be dispatched by the Privy Council, and all dispatches in response to military orders will be issued by the Privy Council. "

Yang Fangxing, Pei Xionghu, Li Tieshan and other civil and military officials all showed different expressions when they heard what Li Zicheng said, as if they didn't know about these things before.

Even though Yang Fangxing, who was heavily relied on by Li Zicheng, hadn't heard the slightest word about what Li Zicheng planned, the Liaodong Rebel Army under Li Zicheng's command was planning to reform.

Holding a pipe, Li Zicheng continued: "Currently, Fuzhou and Gaizhou have all been taken back by our Liaodong Rebel Army, and the corresponding recruitment and distribution of land are advancing in an orderly manner.

However, there were also many problems during this period, which were all caused by the unknown military system.

Earlier, I heard from an expert that if you want to defeat the opponent you face, you must absorb the essence of the opponent and discard their dross.

Therefore, our Liaodong Rebel Army must not only absorb the essence of the Ming army, but also absorb the essence of Jianlu, but ah, we cannot learn from their dross! "

Take its essence and discard its dross?
Yang Fangxing was emotional, looking at Li Zicheng who was talking eloquently, but felt a little bit embarrassed in his heart, he didn't expect that his lord was also familiar with the books of sages.

It's just that Yang Fangxing would know.

The master Li Zicheng mentioned was precisely the Emperor Chongzhen whom he scolded the most.

no way.

In order to strengthen the cohesion of the pan-Liaodong strategy, truly limit the expansion momentum of Jianlu, and ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty in Liao, Emperor Chongzhen specially planned a set of effective rebellion outlines for Li Zicheng, who was exiled in Liao.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

If you want to make Daming stable, you need to rely on strong enemies and buy as much time as possible to gradually promote the reform and restoration in Daming.

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen never thought about it, Li Zicheng's subordinates whom he cultivated would one day become the enemy of Ming Dynasty, so what?

But he has no other choice.

After all, time waits for no one.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's troops were more like the pioneers of reform and reform, accumulating strength for the Ming Dynasty in Liao, and exploring the problems that might be encountered in the road of innovation.

Li Zicheng's forces are the whetstone of Ming Dynasty.

If the real skills are not as good as others in the end, then no one else is to blame, but deep down in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, he also has full confidence to face the diverse situations he will be in later.

Li Zicheng talked eloquently: "Based on this premise, the commander-in-chief decided to rectify the Liaodong Rebel Army, specifying the field army for conquest and the garrison for defense.

Taking the old battalion as the root of the field army, five barracks were established, front, back, left, right, and middle. Each battalion temporarily governed 2 soldiers and horses, and was in charge of foreign expeditions.

There are generals of power, generals of deputy power, generals of control, generals of Guoyi, generals of might, captains, captains of banners, heads of departments, and heads of sentries.

The commander-in-chief personally led the Liaodong Rebel Army's middle camp, Pei Xionghu was promoted to the former general of the camp, Li Tieshan was promoted to the general of the rear camp, Liu Changzhong was promoted to the general of the left camp, and Chen Dazhong was promoted to the general of the right camp! "

Pei Xionghu, Li Tieshan, Liu Changzhong, and Chen Dazhong who were named stood up one after another, and expressed their corresponding attitude to Li Zicheng, expressing that they would absolutely obey the orders of the Privy Council.

Living in such troubled times, the times have always made heroes, like Pei Xionghu and Li Tieshan, who were all unknown people in the past, but they were killed out of the dead and survived, which would make them change .

To Pei Xionghu and Li Tieshan's declaration of allegiance, Li Zicheng showed a gratified smile. With the 10 field troops under his command who are dedicated to foreign expeditions, his territory will be very stable.

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng continued: "The field army is clear, so the next thing I want to talk about is the garrison. In the future, the territory controlled by my Liaodong rebel army must be clear about the separation of military and government.

Civil officials rule the people, and military generals guard them.

I won’t tell you about the civilian stuff. Afterwards, I discussed with Prime Minister Yang and decided to talk about the garrison here. "

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Since Li Zicheng led the Liaodong Rebel Army and took Fuzhou and Gaizhou from Jianlu, he felt more and more that what Emperor Chongzhen told him at the beginning was so wise.

This also made Li Zicheng more and more panicked towards Emperor Chongzhen deep in his heart, feeling that he was stripped naked in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"The commander-in-chief decided to withdraw the guards and set up the government, create the Fuzhou government and the Gaizhou government, and set up the Fuzhou defense envoy and the Gaizhou defense envoy to govern the garrisons in the two places."

Li Zicheng said with firm eyes: "In the future, the local garrison will gradually improve the ownership at all levels. In addition to ensuring local stability, it will also provide the field army with a source of troops.

At the same time, whether it is the field army or the garrison army, all the soldiers are paid in real money. We don’t want to learn from the bad policy of embezzling food and salaries. At the same time, we will also grant corresponding acres of land. The specific regulations will be published later.

But the commander-in-chief put the words to the front, you take it to the various ministries, take the money and the land that the commander gave, if you dare to kill the enemy without fear of death, the commander will take it all back! "
