Dashun Yongchang

Hundreds of years later, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world. However, for his own selfishness, the first emperor employed hundreds of thousands of peasants to build palaces, tombs, and conquer Lingnan. The people of the world failed to enjoy the peace of unifying the world. Heavy corvee, so after the death of the first emperor, there was an uprising by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township, and Qin II died.

More than 1000 years later, Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty condoned corrupt officials to exploit the people and annexed the land. There was a saying at the time: the dead are full of roads, and the living are neighbors with ghosts.But Meng Yuan didn't care about this, instead he became more mean to the people, and started a big river repair campaign, so there was a big uprising of the Red Turban Army. Ming Taizu was hailed as the monarch of China by expelling Meng Yuan to restore China's merits .

From the above three stories, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven is not a herdsman of heaven, but a covenant with the people of the world to be the Son of Heaven.The son of heaven has three promises: the affairs of the world should be put into public opinion; private interests should not infringe on the interests of the public; the son of heaven should protect the people and the world.

The emperor does not weave clothes, does not farm but eats, does not work but uses, all of which are obtained from the people for his food, clothing, housing and transportation. If the emperor cannot keep his oath with the people of the world, then he is no longer the emperor recognized by the people.

Emperor Chongzhen, who is he?It's just the blood of Ming Taizu, how can it contribute to the country, dare to call it the emperor of China?What contribution does it have to the people, dare to be called the father of all people?When the people are suffering from hunger and cold, they pay three more; when the people mourn by the roadside, they are given swords and axes.Therefore, I, Li Zicheng, raised troops not to rebel, but to seek justice on behalf of the people of the world.

The armies of the Ming Dynasty depended on food and clothing not from the bestowal, but from the common people.Instead of guarding the frontiers for the country, you lured the barbarians to invade China, and even claimed to use your teachers to suppress bandits.What is a thief?Those who commit rebellion and treason and endanger the people are thieves, aren’t you the ones who rebel and treason and endanger the people today?

What is Manchu?It was just a small group of savages who could not escape from the Tunguska wasteland, and were pitied by my Ming Dynasty and allowed them to shelter between the white mountains and the black waters.After a few days of good life, these people tried to disturb the frontier of our Ming Dynasty, so the story of Chenghua Liting came into being.

Then there was Nurhachi, a savage who was supported by me but betrayed me and slaughtered my people in Liaodong. Aren’t your parents and brothers from the frontier army not among them?Today, you treat your enemies as guests, but you want to use swords against the Chinese people who support you. You can see that the traitor is Wu Sanguier.

I also heard that after the death of Nurhachi in the past, Huang Taiji and his three elder brothers forced to death his aunt, Concubine Abahai, and the concubine had three legitimate sons: Azig, Dorgon, and Duoduo.

Today, Huang Taiji is dead, Daishan is old, the other two major Baylors have also been executed, and Dorgon has become the regent again. You three brothers don't want to avenge your mother, but rush to avenge Daming's gang of traitors. Enmity against your father is simply shameless..."

The script for Wu Sangui to make people shout before the battle was drawn up by Fang Guangchen. Although it was only a few quarters of an hour, Fang Guangchen wrote a majestic essay with ups and downs. Even Wu Sangui felt righteous in his hands after reading it.After shouting, Wu Sangui's feelings were confirmed. The soldiers who were still uneasy about the failure of the surprise attack became calmer now.

That's right, after listening to his side's shouting, Wu Sangui's subordinates suddenly realized that what they are facing now is not the Ming army backed by the whole world, but just a group of thieves, even if they take down the city of Beijing , but it is still a group of thieves without foundation.With the Manchu Qing as the backing, the Guan Ning army even suffered a small defeat, but the main force of the Manchurian army has not come up yet. When the main force arrives, the intruders will either flee all the way west and return to their hometown, or they will be defeated by the Manchurian soldiers. They were in awe of the ability of Manchurian soldiers to fight in the field.

With such a psychological expectation, the soldiers will naturally calm down a lot, and won't think that they can't fight anymore.But after the other side also started shouting, the morale of these Guan Ning troops declined again.

The Dashun Army's shouting punctured Wu Sangui's justification for borrowing his teacher to aid in the suppression, and also justified the legitimacy of the Peasant Army's uprising, which had to discourage the Guan Ning Army.If you are the leader of the bandits, you will be liquidated in the future.And no one would think that Man Qing was not a gang of robbers.Especially after hearing that the three Azig brothers couldn't even avenge their mother, everyone felt even less confident.

Fang Guangchen's face changed when he heard Shunjun's yelling, and finally he had to quietly suggest to Wu Sangui: "Uncle, I think it's better to let people beat the drums and scold them loudly. The rebel's remarks are too mean. Too much, no good..."

On the other side, Duduo heard Shunjun scold Daming at the beginning, and finding legitimacy for his rebellion went back to the three generations, so he couldn't help saying to Shuo Sai beside him: "This Li Zicheng is also quite interesting, even the rebellion said so It is plausible, it seems that these words must not have been thought of by himself."

Aixinjueluo Shuosei, the fifth son of Huang Taiji, was rewarded by Huang Taiji to Zhantuxietu, who was a former internal minister, shortly after his biological mother Yehenala gave birth; Zhantuxietu was killed by a tiger while hunting. He was injured and died, and Yehenara remarried to Dahlhu.

Although Shuosai is still young, only 16 years old now, his biological mother was from the Jurchen Yehe tribe, and now she is married to a powerful person from the Haixi Jurchen tribe, so among the sons of Huang Taiji, his status is ranked in Haoge and after Fulin.This time Dorgon took him with him when he went out to fight, the purpose was to divide the forces under Huang Taiji's command.

Growing up in the palace without the care of his mother, Shuosai has developed a cautious and steady personality despite his young age. He only smiled and echoed Duduo's questions, and didn't say much.

Afterwards, Shunjun's shouts became more exciting, and Doduo, whose face gradually became gloomy, made all the generals standing aside quiet down.Listening to Shun Jun pointing his spearhead at the three Regent brothers, the generals even looked down at the grass under their feet, as if something miraculous had suddenly grown on the grass.

When several Beizi were thinking whether it was time to persuade King Yu not to listen to such frantic words, Duoduo suddenly relaxed and sat back on his seat, and said to them: "I thought Li Zicheng was a character, Unexpectedly, he only has this little ability to catch wind and shadow.

This king will not follow his method of aggressive generals and send a large army to forcibly charge, so I will set up camp here to see if Li Zicheng has the ability to attack me.Otherwise, when the main force behind me comes up, I will have to catch this person and let him know what tongue-pulling hell is.

Pass down the order to let the three armies beat the drums, and shout and scold Li Zicheng as a traitor together.Erzhai, tell Wu Sangui to stop cursing, and then send someone to see Li Zicheng.We captured many prisoners of the Shun Army along the way and were willing to exchange our army's corpses and prisoners with them.

Each corpse was exchanged for a living person, and each Manchurian was exchanged for 5 captured Shun soldiers..."

When Doduo was instructing his subordinates to do things, Azige sent someone to deliver a message to him. After hearing it, Doduo showed a mocking smile, and whispered mockingly: "Although Li Zicheng is a villain, there is a saying He was right, he was the only adult prince among the three brothers when his mother died, and he watched his mother being hanged to death by a bowstring, not even daring to fart, he is really kind."

The others avoided Dodo's eyes, pretending not to hear Dodo's grievances.Only then did Duoduo change his sitting position, and said lazily to the Azig guard kneeling in front of him: "Li Zicheng is so cautious and suspicious. It would be good if he didn't come to attack our army tonight. Does King Wuying still expect to go tonight?" A sneak attack on Li Zicheng?

You go back and tell King Wuying that tonight I will keep vigil for the camp to prevent Li Zicheng from attacking me.Let Wuying County King guard the right side of our army tonight, something went wrong, I recognize him, but the military law does not recognize him..."

It was only after Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen discussed a result that the Qing army's main formation over there had begun to clamor, disrupting the Shun army's shouting.Wu Sangui heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered the generals to pass on his order, so that the whole army would follow the Qing army to clamor, and no longer give the Shun army a chance to speak out.

Li Zicheng standing on the high platform faced the loud clamor of the Qing army and Wu Sangui army, and his face suddenly showed displeasure.Ren Jirong, who was passing the message to the soldiers, couldn't help asking: "Why is Your Majesty unhappy? Our army has completely suppressed the enemy army. Now they dare not scold us."

Li Zicheng glanced at him silently, but he thought in his heart: "I still haven't made an important comment at the end, Niang Xipi, Internet forums in the 21st century are banned all day long, and physical silence can still be encountered in 1644." Yes. It really is the former Qing Dynasty, and it has the same virtue as its son."

He turned his head and glanced at Chen Yuanyuan, who was writing seriously, and he couldn't help but turn his anger into joy, thinking that fortunately, I have prepared for it. If you don't want to hear it, I can distribute leaflets to let you know what a public opinion war is.

So Li Zicheng cleared his throat, and said to Chen Yuanyuan who was writing at the desk: "Okay, now it's time for the end of the last sentence. This is not a rebellion, this is an uprising, it is a revolution! Any broken copper who dares to stand in front of the flood of the people Rotten iron will be smashed to pieces by the power of the people."

Xing Yuan's nose started to sweat as she wrote, and she understood why those high-ranking officials called Li Zicheng a thug.Indeed, judging from today's remarks, Li Zicheng is indeed the greatest thief of all time.

Chapter 46 Post-War One

After someone yelled the last sentence, he suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally, and a surge of pride surged out of his heart.While he knows it's not his belief, who knows in this day and age?He immediately understood why he always loses in online debates, because fruit fans don't have such a sense of accomplishment, so they can only get weaker as they fight.

After Li Zicheng came down from the high platform and returned to his big tent, the results of the battle were almost counted.In this battle, the Qing army and the Guan Ning army left about 1161 corpses, including 348 full corpses. This refers to the statistics of casualties on all battlefields.In addition, 523 people were captured by the Shun army, including 79 Manchus, but there were also Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners among these Manchus.

Among the Manchus, the highest official positions captured were Dong E E Shuo, Manchuria Zhengbai Banner, and Kabush Xianga Layi Angbang, translated into Chinese as the forward commander, and the highest official position captured by the Guanning Army was Lieutenant General Yang Shen.

E Shuo fell into a coma after being shot by a horse under his seat and broke his right leg during the war. He was eventually captured by the Shun army who cleaned up the battlefield.As for Yang Shen, after Liu Zongmin led his troops to intercept E Shuo's army, Yang Shen, who was caught between Liu Zongmin's troops and the Shun army camp, immediately ordered his subordinates to capture Daola and other Manchus around him, and then surrendered to the Shun army.

Guan Fumin, who was in charge of counting and managing the prisoners of war, also reported to Li Zicheng: "Everyone in the Guanning Army is very honest, and they will answer whatever they ask. The identities of E Shuo and other Manchu generals were confessed by Yang Shen after identification. .

Most of the Manchus or the Manchurianized Mongols and Hans were very stubborn and kept silent at the beginning. The officials had to kill a few seriously injured Manchus before they honestly confessed the names and identities of the injured. But there are still a few people who still can't speak. "

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Zicheng said: "Those who are willing to cooperate with us will be given medicine, water, and food, and those who are not willing to cooperate will be detained separately, and nothing will be given except water.

Next, you pick out those honest Manchus and ask them about their families, tribes, relatives and other details.Be willing to cooperate and give drinks, and then check with him whether the situation stated by the acquaintance is true.

Then select those who have honestly confessed, and ask them about their affiliation in the army, the situation of their superiors and subordinates, the organization and commander of their troops.Let me ask again, what did they do every day during the period from the dispatch of troops from Shenyang to the battle with our army, the more detailed the explanation, the better.

In addition, gather up those corpses and the wounded who are willing to cooperate honestly, and prepare to return Jiannu and Wu Sangui.Let those Jian slaves know that they will die if they lose..."

Li Zicheng had just finished taking care of some affairs after the war, and when he was thinking about what to do next, he suddenly left alone in the hall and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

Hearing Li Zicheng's question, Xing Yuan also felt very wronged, so she had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty didn't tell me to leave just now, I can only follow Your Majesty."

Li Zicheng glanced at the stack of papers in Xing Yuan's hand, and said, "Follow Li Laiheng, and sort out the manuscripts in your hand by the way. Laiheng, go and find her a place to live in the house. Send back to her the servant girl who followed her."

Li Laiheng agreed, and signaled Xing Yuan to follow her, but Xing Yuan did not move. She looked at Li Zicheng and summoned up her courage and said, "Your Majesty just said that you want to let the Wu family go. Is it true?"

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Yes, but you are not included."

"Why?" Xing Yuan opened his eyes wide and asked without restraint.Soon she realized what Li Zicheng could do for staying with her, which showed that the other party was just a normal man.

However, before Xing Yuan finished feeling sorry for herself, Li Zicheng said to her in a calm manner: "Although you are just embellishing my writing, I am afraid that others will not see it that way.

I am also thinking of you, once Wu Sangui and Jiannu know that today’s article was written by you, they will have nothing to do with me now.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.I don't do such unsightly things.Do you really want to die by Wu Sangui's side? "

Xing Yuan was completely sober now, she admitted that what Li Zicheng said was indeed reasonable, although Li Zicheng only dictated it, but it was herself who wrote it and polished it.After this text is circulated, I am afraid that everyone will not think that it is Li Zicheng's masterpiece, but that she wrote it under Li Zicheng's instruction.

After all, Xing Yuan was born among the gentry and celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River. Once she got out of the single-minded escape mood, she would naturally realize how much the words in her hand are hated by those Taoists.No great Confucian gentry would accept the content of this text, because the main purpose of this text is only one, the rebellion of the peasants is justified, not some rebellious officials and thieves.

After hearing this article, those great scholars and gentry would probably dare not attack Li Zicheng directly. After all, Li Zicheng, the son of Dashun, might be the future father of them and their descendants. It is always necessary to save some face for the Emperor Yongchang, so there was only Fang Xiaoru in the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, she who wrote the pen for Li Zicheng became the best blamer in the eyes of the great Confucian gentry. By attacking her, she denied the justice of this text and separated the relationship between Emperor Yongchang and this text. In the end, this text was It has become an ironclad proof that she, a confidante, has seduced Emperor Yongchang.

After figuring this out, Xing Yuan, who wanted to cry but had no tears, replied to Li Zicheng rather sadly: "A concubine is like a duckweed and has no roots at all, so I should obey your majesty's orders. I will resign myself."

After Xing Yuan left, the sun outside the hall gradually turned to the west mountain. The west wall of the courtyard was covered with green vines and plants, which looked a little green under the shadow.Li Zicheng stood in front of the hall and watched with his hands behind his back for a long time. He didn't wake up from his daze until Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Li You, Liu Xiyao and other generals arrived.

Li Zicheng asked Li Laiheng to bring the generals to the hall, and after sitting down with the generals, he said: "Today, our army defeated Jiannu and Wu Sangui's coalition forces for a while, and at least caused the opponent to lose thousands of fine horses. According to the instructions of those prisoners , has almost reached one-tenth of the number of soldiers in this coalition army.

Let everyone come here, just want to discuss with you, what will Jiannu do next?How should we respond.Then, after our army withdrew from Beijing, how should we deal with Jiannu's pursuit?Also, if the ministers of the old Ming Dynasty in the south respond to Jiannu and Wu Sangui, how should we deal with them and so on.

Everyone is talking about their own opinions. I think I will talk about them one by one in order, starting with Zong Min, finishing the row on the left, and continuing on the right.Others are not allowed to intervene or jump in to speak without my permission. "

Liu Zongmin glanced at his colleagues in the hall, and said bluntly to Li Zicheng: "Since your majesty has orders, of course I must speak bluntly.

From my point of view, after today's battle is over, it may be impossible for Jiannu and Wu Sangui's army to break through our camp in daylight.However, there is no possibility that they will sneak attack our army at night.According to my point of view, it is better to act first, taking advantage of their small setbacks today and the instability of the army, we send a cavalry to carry out a surprise attack at night, or we can get a miraculous effect.

If we can succeed in the raid at night, then the establishment of slaves and entry into the customs can basically be said to have failed.At that time, His Majesty will negotiate peace with Jiannu again and ask Jiannu to send Wu Sangui's head. With Shanhaiguan as the boundary between the two countries, we will have a period of peace for several years.

As for the ministers of the old Ming Dynasty in the south, as long as we can stop Jiannu, what difficulty will it have in dealing with the weak troops in the south?Even Zuo Liangyu's miscellaneous soldiers can be regarded as elite soldiers by the southerners. Wouldn't our Dashun army become heavenly soldiers and generals? "

Liu Zongmin's optimistic attitude won the support of many generals, but Li Guo did not agree, he said: "Whether it is Wu Sangui or the Qing soldiers, they are all veteran troops, how could they not guard against our army's sneak attack at night?

This time we were able to defeat the Jiannu and Guan Ning army for a while, not because our army was really stronger than the opponent, but because the enemy army was careless.If His Majesty hadn't planned to evacuate Shanhaiguan first, and then made preparations here, and our army was followed by tens of thousands of cavalry on the way to withdraw, would there really be a chance of winning?

After today's period, I think Jianu will definitely be cautious and will not give us any more opportunities to take advantage of.After all, Jiannu entered the customs six times, but none of the Ming army was able to successfully chase and intercept them. It can be seen that Jiannu's march must be extremely cautious.

The lands of Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong are all newly attached lands, and the hearts of the people may not all be toward us.As His Majesty said, our army has been fighting with Jiannu and Sangui for a long time here. Once there is a large-scale rebellion in the four provinces, our army will become a lone army among them.

Guanzhong is the land of four fortresses. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Guanzhong was relied on to shock the world, and it is also the hometown of His Majesty.In my opinion, Your Majesty should lead the main force back to Shaanxi, and send another partial division down the canal to control Shandong, Henan, and Jiangbei, so as to contain Jiannu and Sangui's westward movement. This is the safest strategy. "

Li Guo's opinion was supported by many generals from Shaanxi. They didn't know much about Jiannu's combat effectiveness before, so they were frightened by Li Zicheng and worried that the war would be introduced to their hometown, so they accepted Li Zicheng's idea that the main force should go south.But in today's battle, everyone felt that the fighting power of Jiannu and Guanning Army was just that. They could completely occupy the terrain in Shanxi to prevent Jiannu and Guanning Army from going west, so naturally the closer to home, the better.

Generals like Zuo Guangxian who surrendered from Shaanxi also hoped to return to Shaanxi. Their families were all in Shaanxi.

Chapter 47 Post-War II

Naturally, someone will not be persuaded by these generals. In the face of the established policy, the opposition of these generals can only represent the opinions of individuals, not the opinions of the group.Their current opposition is no longer opposing the propositions of one or two people, but opposing the consensus of the majority.

Of course, Li Zicheng still hopes to use words to persuade these generals to obey the policies he has set, and it is definitely not good to do a good job with resistance.Or is it that later generations of companies have to engage in so many team building for Mao, isn't it just to eliminate personal dissatisfaction with the company?

The employees worked hard just to get the boss to change to a better car and find more beautiful Xiaomi.For an employee who ruined his health for the company, the pension may not be as much as the amount that the boss rewards an Internet celebrity once.How to make employees accept this reality depends on the company culture that unifies employees' thinking.

Although a certain person has not experienced the training of fighting for the world, he still knows how to make employees work hard, and then let himself enjoy the rewards of employees' hard work.

Therefore, after humbly accepting the speeches of the generals, Li Zicheng cleared his throat and said: "Everyone's words are very reasonable, and I have benefited a lot from listening. But I also want to ask you a question. What is it?"

The generals present here all crawled out of the dead, so naturally they would not use their own opinions on the question raised by Li Zicheng, so they spoke out their opinions in a hurry.

After listening for a while, Li Zicheng raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then concluded for everyone: "So what is needed in war: one is people; the other is money and food; the third is various materials. Isn't it?"

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison, and they didn't have any doubts about the three points Li Zicheng concluded.

Li Zicheng clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention to himself, he continued to ask: "Then where is the most populous place in the world today? Where is the most money and food? Without being ravaged by natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can still work in peace." Where is the place?"

Liu Zongmin fell silent, Li Guo also fell silent, the two generals stopped talking, and the other generals beside them were also dumb. Li Zicheng looked around the hall with his eyes, and then raised his voice and said: "Everyone! Don't say it, then I will say it.

Today, most of the prefectures and counties that are considered complete and undamaged in the world are in the south. There are 13 provinces in the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty. Before the war, the most populous provinces were Nanjing and Jiangxi. More than 4 million people, excluding other provinces in the south, the population of these four provinces alone accounts for half of the world's population.

These four provinces are also located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and are close to the sea. Various inland and overseas products are enriched here for processing and exchange. Therefore, there are many industries and rich products. The self-cultivator of the land lived comfortably and well.

Although Shaanxi is my hometown, it has been dilapidated after natural disasters and military disasters.Although Guanzhong is a land of four fortresses, with thousands of miles of plains as its foundation, it is no longer the old days of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the center of gravity of the world lies in the south of the Yangtze River rather than in the northwest.

We retreated to Shaanxi, even if we could resist the attack of Jiannu and Guanning Army, but as long as they contacted the Remnant in the south, then what we have to face is no longer the Manchu Qing in a corner outside the Guan, but the people with Mostly intact Chinese backed Qing army.With an unrecovered Shaanxi fighting against most of China, which is joined by internal and external reactionary forces, when we go to Shaanxi, we take the initiative to walk into the grave where we bury ourselves. "

If the reason Li Zicheng used to persuade the generals last time was fear, the news that Wu Sangui borrowed troops from the Qing Dynasty made the generals realize that it seemed difficult for the Dashun Army to hold Beijing. It became the primary consideration of the generals. At that time, the southward strategy proposed by Li Zicheng became a feasible method for most people.

After repelling the Qing army and Wu Sangui's vanguard this time, you will feel that it should not be a problem to return to Shaanxi. Maybe you can fight the Manchus back outside the pass and defend Beijing.

It's just that this time Li Zicheng used the method of lure, using the richness of the south and how to eliminate the remnant forces that joined the Qing army were all included in the plan to go south.After thinking about it, Li Guo changed his position and chose to continue to support Li Zicheng's proposition.His utterance quickly led a group of generals to express their positions, and other generals such as Liu Zongmin had to express their support for Li Zicheng.

After getting the results of the military meeting that satisfied him, Li Zicheng and the generals discussed how to delay the enemy army so that the Dashun government in the capital had more time to withdraw. After that, they announced the abolition of the meeting, but left Liu Zong Min and Li Guo.

After the generals left the hall, Li Zicheng said to the two of them: "After going south this time, I plan to follow the example of the Song Dynasty and set up a Privy Council to manage the army. From now on, the Privy Council will be responsible for military training, organization, and expeditions. The government ordered it. What do you think?"

Since no one else was present, Liu Zongmin said carelessly: "Brother, I agree with this statement. Those civilian officials have no knowledge of military affairs, and they insist on using literature to control military affairs. They treat us military officials as thieves. It seems that we have done a little My Lord, this world is going to be in chaos. To sue in front of my brother all day long, to drive a wedge between our brothers, is really a group of annoying big-headed flies, I support the separation of military affairs. "

However, Li Guo said cautiously: "General Quan's words, I don't quite agree with them. Although some civil servants have prejudices about the difference between civil and military affairs, I'm afraid that military affairs can't be said to be managed alone without problems.

When His Majesty ascends the throne, we are no longer thieves but officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers naturally need to abide by the rules. They can no longer rely on plundering local rich houses to fill military use, nor can they recruit hungry people at will to fill the gap. All armies have to rely on Survive on food and wages provided by the state.And these matters are naturally the affairs of local officials and the government. It doesn't mean that if we want to manage them alone, we can completely ignore those civil officials.

However, since His Majesty has proposed this idea, I am afraid that he has a certain plan, why not ask His Majesty to talk about his views. "

After the eyes of the two men came over, Li Zicheng laughed and said: "As for me, I only thought about it roughly. The reason why I want to restore the Privy Council is that I feel that the current military management is too rough. Although there are five battalions , but the lack of communication between the soldiers of the five battalions, they will be separated from each other after a long time, which is not good for the country and the soldiers personally.

And in the past, we thought that if we captured Beijing, the world would be peaceful.However, judging from Wu Sangui's borrowing of soldiers from the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, there are still many people who oppose us in the world.The establishment of Dashun is not the end but a new beginning. Our Dashun is far from the time when the swords and guns are put into storage and the horses are released on Nanshan. There are still many wars in the world.

Just because there are still many wars, military affairs cannot be handed over to civilian officials, otherwise it will only bring us more troubles.With this in mind, I decided to rebuild the Privy Council to assist me and take charge of Dashun's military affairs.However, what Su Zhi said is also true. Now that we have established a country, we still have to follow some rules in doing things. The government should still have the right to know what the army is doing. Is this the basis for the government to allocate money and food to the army? "

Li Zicheng paused at this point, just staring at Liu Zongmin, the general Quan could only clasped his fists and responded: "Your Majesty is right, of course the government has the right to know what the army is doing."

Only then did Li Zicheng continue to say with satisfaction: "Therefore, the Privy Council I plan to rebuild is different from the Song Dynasty. First, the Privy Council is responsible for the overall work of the Privy Council, and there are three agencies under it to help it manage the daily affairs of the Privy Council.

The Privy Council Headquarters is in charge of the Privy Council. All orders issued by the Privy Council must be signed and stamped by the Privy Council Headquarters before they can be constituted. The Privy Council manages documents and seals, assists the Privy Council in their daily work, and is responsible for communicating with the government. , but has no authority to issue any orders.

The Military Quartermaster Department is under the charge of the Military Quartermaster, who is in charge of all logistical affairs of the army, and has the right to advise the Privy Envoy to reform and abolish a department that should hinder the military's combat effectiveness.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies is under the responsibility of the Deputy Privy Envoy, who manages the promotion and transfer of officers at all levels, and the management of all generals above the third rank when they are not on the expedition.

Under these three major organizations, there are the Examination Division, Training Division, Command Division, Logistics Division, and Armament Supervision to be responsible for the specialized affairs of the army.In this way, both the army and the generals have their own place, and there is no need to be so intertwined and ineffective in command as they are now. "

Liu Zongmin was quite hesitant when he heard this. He felt that the establishment of the Privy Council did not seem to support soldiers like them, but put many rules on them.Although the military discipline of the Dashun Army is strict, this strictness is mainly aimed at those soldiers, and it is much more relaxed for the officers. Even veterans who have been in the Shun Army for a few years will have a discount on their military discipline. Executed, because these talents are the foundation of the army, and they are also called old-fashioned troops.

Li Zicheng was able to be defeated several times and make a comeback, relying on the presence of these backbones.This is also the root cause of Li Zicheng's difficulty in restraining Liu Zongmin after entering Beijing, because these backbones of the army are all on Liu Zongmin's side.Military discipline can only control soldiers but not generals, so sooner or later the entire army will be completely corrupted.

Before the peasant army entered Shanxi, the whole world believed that the peasant army's military discipline was better than that of the official army.There used to be Henan government troops who pretended to be peasant troops and demanded the surrender of the county seat, but they were discovered because they looted and set fire to villages on the outskirts of the city.However, the military discipline of the Peasant Army has been relaxed after a large number of Ming troops joined, and it has deteriorated sharply after entering Beijing.The fundamental reason for this is that military officers at all levels have begun to put the plundered civilian property into their own pockets.

While Liu Zongmin was hesitating, Li Zicheng suddenly added, "Jiexuan, after much deliberation, the first privy envoy can only be convinced by you sitting down."

Liu Zongmin replied subconsciously: "Brother, you are joking, this privy envoy is said to be one of the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, how can I be a prime minister..."

Chapter 48 Post War III

Someone could tell that Liu Zongmin said he didn't want it, but in fact he wanted it more in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have studied the official system of the Song Dynasty in private.It wasn't dissatisfaction with Dashun's current system, and I'm afraid he wouldn't have learned about the system of the previous dynasty, but being able to recognize that the privy envoy is one of the group ministers shows that Liu Zongmin's research is not shallow.

Someone who is not Li Zicheng naturally does not feel how precious the emperor and Xiangguo are. Li Zicheng is not even willing to hand out titles in large sums. Compared with the generosity of the Manchus who made kings when they saw people, Li Zicheng canonized his subordinates as high as marquises. Not even a duke was willing to give it away.A certain person thinks this is really stupid. The bosses of future generations want to trick the backbone of the company into working hard and still have shares. Before the world is settled, they feel that there are too many subordinates working hard. This company... no, this Dashun is really going to end.
