The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 696 Catch Zhang Xianzhong and reward a pair of pants
Huang Sheng told Tang Daoheng that the defenders in Liaodong did not need to take the initiative to attack without the main force of the "God of War" returning to aid. As long as they successfully held the city and waited until the main force returned to Liaodong, it would be victory.

It's great to hold back the Manchu Qing army and let them fight attrition under the fortified city!

Tang Daoheng understood, he happily escorted the artillery back to Jinzhou with Cheng Shiju, because the Patriarch had told them that the Manchu Qing army would definitely seek Jinzhou again within a year or two, and the opportunity to make contributions was not far away.

Huang Sheng was too busy, many senior generals gathered in Nanjing, he always took time to exchange views with them, and all civil and military officials were also looking forward to having an interview with the Patriarch.

While arranging state affairs, he also handled family affairs. The king Huang Sheng was actually not far from the emperor. The emperor had no personal affairs, and the same was true for kings.

Chu'er was conferred the title of Queen, because Huang Sheng's mother had passed away, and Queen Zhang became No.1 in the harem.

The eldest son Huang Hao was established as the heir, and the heir to the throne of the "Nanming" kingdom was clear. Huang Sheng's early establishment of the heir was to prevent the cruel palace fight caused by the false crown prince.

He Xiang, Lan Cai'er, Zhao Rui, Ma Xiangling, and Gu Ling'er were canonized as princesses, Rumeng and Liu Rushi were canonized as Zhaoyi, and Bai Mudan was canonized as a palace official who can freely enter and leave the palace.

Cai Er has been worrying about missing out on her relationship with the princess because she has no heirs, she cried when she got the canonization, because she found out that Ma Xiangling was also pregnant, and felt like Alexander.

Chu'er became the queen and immediately entered the role. She accepted advice humbly and prepared to draft in the "Nanming" kingdom to enrich the harem.

Because many civil and military ministers believe that "Nanming" has already established a country, and the queen and mother are all over the world. His Royal Highness has too few concubines to make up for the 72 concubines in the Sangong and Six Courts. At least twenty or thirty are needed to prevent "Nanming" from losing face.

Huang Sheng found that his woman was trying to find more beauties for him, he couldn't laugh or cry, he ordered no nonsense, state affairs are important in the short term, don't do these meaningless things.

Huang Sheng convened a family meeting to tell his women not to learn from Ming Dynasty's harem system, not to lose the job at hand, not to be a parasite, and to be favored only when they are busy with their own careers.

He also specially pulled Lan Cai'er to tell the other women that even if Concubine Lan really has no children, it is impossible to shake her status as a princess, because she has worked hard and made great contributions to the development of "Nanming".

Cai'er didn't expect the prince to praise her so much in front of the sisters, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.Not only that, the queen also praised her very much, and asked everyone to work tirelessly for the great cause of "Southern Ming" like Concubine Lan...

In the end, the family meeting ended with a group of women frolicking. Everyone said that the prince was eccentric and doted on Concubine Lan...

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the generals who had received clear positions returned to their original ranks. They were full of vigor and work more seriously, and they were all striving to be promoted again.

More than [-] troops participated in the siege of Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and other bandits.

After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Huang Sheng also led his own troops to move into Xuzhou City to personally coordinate and command the suppression of bandits.

The secret work of the rogues was terrified when they saw the arrest warrant signed by Nan Wang in a certain county. They found that their eight kings had been painted vividly by others.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was looting houses and engulfing refugees in the area of ​​Shenqiu County, received a report from his subordinates and learned that the "God of War" offered a reward to arrest him. , is it 1 taels of silver?"

When the returned agent hesitated and dared not answer, Zhang Xianzhong asked in surprise, "Is it gold instead of silver?"

The leaders around Zhang Xianzhong were also curious and asked what happened.

A secret agent hugged his head and said loudly: "Eight Great Kings, the younger ones dare not speak out, for fear that you will hit the younger ones."

Zhang Xianzhong suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said angrily: "You kid, don't hurry up, I will really beat you to death!"

"The King of Nan offered a reward. If you catch you, you will be rewarded with a pair of trousers, and if you are killed, you will be rewarded with a pair of straw sandals..."

"Wow, it's too much to deceive people." Zhang Xianzhong was furious and kicked the table in front of him.

All the thieves looked at each other with pained faces, which shows that the "God of War" did not think highly of our Eight Great Kings or our hundreds of thousands of troops at all.

Coupled with the fact that as long as the Thieves Dedicated Department encounters "Nanming" troops, they will be unilaterally beaten and have no power to fight back. The leaders of all walks of life have realized that the future is bleak.

Huang Sheng is determined to win, and he intends to widely spread the reward for arresting Zhang Xianzhong, the purpose is to humiliate this scumbag and hit the morale of the rogues.

The scope of activities of the Thieves Dedication Department has been locked by Li Xihan. In order not to lose Zhang Xianzhong who has been tracking him, Li Xihan gave up the great opportunity to go to the capital to fight for the king.

Li Xihan is already a third-rank guerrilla general of the "Nanming", and the battalion head he is about to take up is the establishment other than the 36th battalion. It is also the one with the best salary, the highest quality of soldiers, and the largest number of troops. This is of course the "Guardian Battalion" or called it "Pro Barracks".

The "Nanming" system does not allow civil servants and military generals to raise private soldiers, which means that there is no family team to work for the head of the family with the "Nanming" military salary. If the generals have one or two people around them, it is purely private behavior. Without military positions, they cannot convey military information. The generals paid their own salaries.

But now, unlike before, the number of officers under Huang Sheng's command is increasing every year, and these generals commanding battles also need guards, because it is inevitable that hostile forces will plan to assassinate them.

Huang Sheng took advantage of the situation, formulated uniform standards, and sent officers and soldiers from the "Guard Battalion" to the generals' camps to serve as guards according to their ranks.

Defending the generals under his command who are accustomed to fighting is of course the main task. Having these officers and soldiers from the "Guardian Battalion" accompanying the generals at the grassroots level all day long will definitely serve as a wake-up call. Warlords will not appear, and mutiny will not exist.

This innovative management method is like using party discipline to inspect party members and cadres in later generations. Don’t talk about privacy and personal space, and obey the organization in everything, because joining the party is voluntary.

The moment a party member takes the oath, he is no longer an individual, but a group of tens of millions of people, and the collective interests are above everything else.

The same is true of "Nanming"'s management of civil and military officials, especially generals at all levels. They all wrote down the documents of refuge and handed them over to Huang Sheng. All of them belonged to Huang Sheng's servants, and it was only natural for the master to supervise and inspect them.

Not only will they not raise questions, but they should actively apply for supervision. Moreover, Huang Shengming ordered the guards sent by the "Guardian Battalion" not to interfere in the general's family affairs, nor to spy on the private affairs of life. Protecting the life and safety of the general is the focus of their work.

The first memorial requesting the head of the family to send a "Guardian Battalion" came from Guo Huaiyi, who was canonized as a guerrilla general and led more than [-] warships.
