Chapter 145 The fate of the country is at stake!Open a government office and build a government office!
Song Xiance came closer to Liu Sheng and said mysteriously: "Does the leader know the prophecy?"

Knew it.

Liu Sheng was not surprised by Song Xiance's words and said: "Of course we know that prophecies about prophecies were popular in the Qin and Han Dynasties and have appeared in all dynasties since then.

The earliest recorded one is that in the Qin Dynasty, a meteorite fell from the sky, and a letter was written, "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided", which foreshadowed the death of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty.

The closest one is that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a one-eyed stone man was dug out of the Yellow River. Later, the folk song "The stone man with one eye in Mo Dao stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River" was spread, which started the Red Turban Army uprising. "

Song Xiance was surprised when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Liu Sheng to know so much about the prophecy.

But he quickly came to his senses and praised: "The leader is really knowledgeable - the clever idea I want to propose is a prophecy ballad."

"Oh? Tell me." Liu Sheng showed a hint of curiosity.

Naturally, he didn't believe the prophecy, but he was really curious about what Song Xiance would make up.

He remembered that what Song Xiance gave to Li Zicheng in history seemed to be "Eighteen Sons, the main artifact".

It means "those with the surname Li want to conquer the world".

Very simple.

After chatting for a while, they learned that Liu Sheng was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but Song Xiance actually had little confidence in his prophecy strategy.

But having come this far, he had to try.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "The golden sword is the main divine weapon."

"Ha ha···"

Liu Sheng couldn't help it and had to laugh.

He thought Song Xiance could give some fresh prophecies, but he didn't expect to get one that was very similar to Li Zicheng.

Seeing Liu Sheng laughing, Song Xiance was embarrassed.

An Jun on the side looked ugly and thought to himself: Why am I so obsessed with sending this charlatan here?You will definitely be severely criticized by the leader later.

Liu Sheng noticed Song Xiance's expression and said with a smile: "This prophecy means 'the one with the surname Liu will win the world', right?"

Song Xiance smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes."

Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "There are so many people with the surname Liu in the world. Even among the existing leaders of the peasant army, they probably exceed the number of five fingers. So, how can this prophecy let the people know that I am the one who wants to win the world?" Woolen cloth?"

Song Xiance forcefully explained: "The leader doesn't know something, so this prophecy cannot be made too clear. Otherwise, if it spreads, it will not only be unhelpful to the rebels, but will also cause the rebels to be targeted by the court."

Liu Sheng still shook his head, "This prophecy is too crude. Mr. Song should change it to a better one that can contact me by my full name."

In fact, Liu Sheng didn't care about the prophecy. He said this just to tease Song Xiance.

Song Xiance wanted to make up a name that could be associated with Liu Sheng's full name from the beginning, but he could only find out that the rebel leader's surname was Liu, but he couldn't find out his name at all.

How could he come up with a satisfying ballad when he was just making it up on the fly?

He thought about it and felt that he couldn't think of anything good at the moment.

He also felt that he could not change the prophecy casually like this, as it would make Liu Sheng feel that the prophecy was worthless.

So I started to think of other ideas.

Soon he thought of something.

"Chief, your army has been claiming to be the 'Huabu Rebels'?"

"good."

"Then what exactly does 'Huabu' mean?"

After hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at Song Xiance and said: "We from the land of China call ourselves Chinese Miao people overseas, so I named it Huabu, which means that all ethnic groups of the Han and barbarians are included in the Hua tribe and the Chinese people."

Song Xiance didn't expect Liu Sheng to have such a grand ambition, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then he became excited - if he could follow this person now, Song Xiance would really become the founding father of the country in the future, and even his name would go down in history!
After realizing that Liu Sheng didn't really care about the prophecy, Song Xiance decided to show some real skills.

He thought for a while and further probed: "Does the leader want to use the word 'Hua' to build a country in the future?"

"good."

Liu Sheng nodded - they all rebelled, there is nothing to hide.

Song Xiance thought for a while and then said: "Chief, in fact, the word 'Hua' also has a variant of the word 'Hua' that starts with a native word, which is called '崋' (four tones).

Its meaning is the same as the word "华", but it is more in line with the change of the five elements in the national destiny than "华" with the prefix "华". "

Liu Sheng also understood the theory of the replacement of the five elements in the national destiny.

For example, if Qin is in the north, it is black, which is the virtue of water; if Chu is in the south, it is red, which is the virtue of fire.

The people of Chu defeated Qin, and Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, so he used his water virtues to extinguish fire and inherited Qin's water virtues.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to change it to Tu De, and Wang Mang's new dynasty also wanted to recognize Tu De.When the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, in order to distinguish it from the Western Han Dynasty, Mu De was recognized.

Let’s talk about the last three dynasties that Liu Sheng knew.

Meng Yuan was originally affiliated with Jin, and was considered to belong to Jin De, and destroyed Song Dynasty with Mu De.

The Ming Dynasty came from the south and destroyed the Yuan Dynasty with fire, virtue, and gold.Historically, the Qing Dynasty recognized the virtue of water, and the virtue of suppressing fire destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

The theory of the Five Elements seems to be sound and logical, but in fact it is a mess, and few rulers really believe in it. Most of them use it to promote their own legitimacy.

Liu Sheng considered that the people's wisdom was not yet enlightened, and the theory of the Five Elements National Destiny did have some propaganda effect, and he had even listened to the prophecies, so he didn't mind listening to Song Xiance talk about it again.

I saw Song Xiance holding his fingers and saying: "It is certain that the Ming Dynasty is the virtue of fire. Fire overcomes wood and generates earth, so the virtue of earth can inherit the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, I also heard that Huang Taiji, a slave outside the Pass, had founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor. The pseudo-country name was "Qing", which was obviously Shui De.

The Chinese character Mu De was born from the virtue of water, and it is unknown after the virtue of water. However, the virtue of earth can directly overcome the virtue of water. It is obvious which one is better and which one is worse.

Therefore, I believe that the Chinese prefix "崋比华" (second tone) is more suitable for the future name of the rebel army. "

Liu Sheng laughed after hearing this, "Mr. Song's words indeed make sense."

He does think that the word "崋" is better - it can be used to avoid the river crab master on the Internet for future generations.

Through this incident, Liu Sheng felt that Song Xiance may not have great talent, but he did have some quick wit and insight.

Moreover, this person did come up with several useful strategies for Li Zicheng in history, and could barely be considered a staff-type talent.

In addition, he was extremely short of men, so he was ready to take this one on.

So he said: "I will open a government office and appoint myself as generalissimo. It happens that the subordinate military affairs hall is still short of a counselor. Mr. Song is willing to take this position."

Song Xiance was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "Greetings to the commander-in-chief!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Sheng laughed happily - this was the first time someone called him Marshal. Don't tell me, it felt pretty good. ···
November [-]th.

Liu Sheng officially opened a government office and appointed himself "Generalissimo of Henan and Chu Xinghua".

On the day of the founding of the government, in order to facilitate the reward and promotion of soldiers who had made meritorious service in previous battles, and to further standardize the army, Liu Sheng introduced a military rank system.

It almost copied the mature military rank system of later generations.

The ranks of soldiers are: private, private, corporal, sergeant, and staff sergeant.

The middle-level officers are: second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and senior colonel.

The general levels are: major general, lieutenant general, admiral, and general.

Marshals are divided into stars, with one star being the lowest - in order to avoid the situation of being unable to be promoted, there is no upper limit on the number of stars.

After all, Liu Sheng will compete for global hegemony in the future, and his generals will have plenty of opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

On the afternoon of the day when the government was established, Liu Sheng conferred titles on the spot in the north camp of Ruyang City, while those who were not present were given titles by roll call.

Currently, those with the highest military rank are Hong Niangzi and Yang Heqing, both of whom were awarded the rank of senior colonel.

The remaining two regiment commanders, Peng Youyi and Wen You, were both awarded the rank of colonel.

Each deputy regimental commander and regimental military and political officer will be awarded the rank of major or lieutenant colonel based on their respective merits.

The commander of each battalion will be awarded the rank of captain or captain based on merit.

The deputy and military administrators of each battalion will be awarded the rank of lieutenant or captain based on merit.

Each sentry commander, sentry deputy, and sentry military officer will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant or lieutenant based on merit.

The corps commander, chief, captain, and team deputy are awarded the rank of corporal to sergeant based on merit.

A group of ordinary soldiers who made outstanding contributions were also awarded the rank of corporal or sergeant.

Anyone who has participated in a siege battle is considered a first-class soldier as long as they do not violate military discipline.

Those who have not participated in actual combat and have just joined the standing army or the Guards are classified as private soldiers.

In addition, the lowest rank of soldiers in the Guards is also the rank of corporal, and the rank of general is generally one rank higher than those of the same position in the standing army.

Therefore, in this award, the four battalion commanders of the Guards, Li Niu, He Lianyue, Shen Wandeng, and Ma Jinshui, were all awarded the rank of major.

The deputy and military administrators of each battalion were awarded the rank of captain or captain based on their merit.

After taking out this military rank system, Liu Sheng naturally asked the rebels to pay military salaries according to their military ranks.

In terms of administration, four major organizations have been tentatively drafted: the Political Affairs Hall, the Military Affairs Hall, the Inspection Office, and the Secretariat.

Among them, the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Affairs Hall were institutions that existed before the Chinese Ministry of Education.

The Inspection Office is the headquarters of the Inspection Office, the Inspection Bureau and even the Inspection Office in the future.

The Secretariat can be regarded as a private staff group that assists Liu Sheng in handling military and political affairs.

When people in later generations hear the word secretary, they think of the female secretary who "does what the secretary does when she has something to do, and does what she does when she has nothing to do", or the male official secretary who has no sense of existence, but they don't know that secretary is a very serious and ancient profession.

As early as the Han Dynasty, there were institutions and positions with the same name, such as Secretary Supervisor, Secretary Ling, and Secretary Cheng.Of course, the meaning of a secretary at that time was very different from that of a secretary in later generations.

But since it is an existing name, Liu Sheng’s use of it will not appear out of the ordinary.

In addition, it is tentatively planned to establish three divisions and twelve divisions under the Political Affairs Hall.

The three offices are: General Office, Communications Office, and Service Office.

The twelve departments are: Finance Department, Taxation Department, Personnel Department, Civil Affairs Department, Gifts Department, Criminal Trial Department, Works Department, Education Department, Health Department, Transportation Department, Military Service Department, and Immigration Department.

Regarding the inclusion of military service within the scope of civil affairs, Liu Sheng made the decision after consulting Li Changwen and others and carefully considering it.

In the final analysis, recruitment depends on the number of households and population in the local area - if it is left to the military, it will be difficult to take into account the actual local situation, and it will easily lead to a militaristic situation.

Before communication technology develops to a certain level, it will be difficult to achieve a complete separation of military and political affairs from the central to local governments.

Forcibly learning from future generations will make the political system paralyzed.

···
Ge Wenyou and his entourage of more than a dozen people, disguised as a small caravan, entered the city from the north gate of Ruyang.

Although King Zhou had a better reputation and was less stingy, he was only compared to other vassal kings.

According to Liu Sheng's proposal of [-] shi of grain to protect the lives of King Chong's family for one year, if he wanted to redeem King Chong's family, the money and grain cost would probably be in the hundreds of thousands.

Even if it was a loan, King Zhou would not agree so easily. After all, King Chong and his relatives were already far apart.

Therefore, Li Xianfeng secretly went to Prince Zhou's Mansion several times before the old Prince of Zhou reluctantly agreed.

I say reluctantly because the old King Zhou said that if the other lion asked for too much, he would not help.

Therefore, Ge Wenyou’s mission during this trip is very important.

In order to learn more about Liu Sheng, he planned to use the cover of the caravan to go to the city to contact Zhang Jian, and then formally visit the "Liu thief".

After walking no more than 100 steps into the city, Ge Wenyou saw many people gathered around one place.

A follower looked at it and said, "It seems like there is some notice posted."

Notice?

Ge Wenyou's heart moved, and he immediately ordered, "The caravan moves forward slowly. You guys come with me to have a look."

"Yes."

Before entering the city, Ge Wenyou had seen through the refugee camps, military camps outside, and the performance of the city gate guards that Liu Thief was no ordinary rebel or giant bandit.

Now that I know there is a notice posted, of course I have to check it out.

With the help of a few followers, Ge Wenyou quickly passed through the crowd and came to a place closer to the inside, where he saw the content on the notice.

'Build a government office?Appointed himself as the Grand Marshal of Yuchu Xinghua? ! '

After reading the title and beginning of the notice, Ge Wenyou's expression changed.

Because this notice clearly announced to the people that Liu Sheng would open the government and build a government office.

If you add a "Message to the Ming Dynasty" to tell the world, it will be a serious rebellion!
