"Lord Li," looking at the prefect of Chengtian who was with him all the way---Emperor Wu Ding restored the establishment of Chengtian Mansion in Dongning immediately after he ascended the throne in Fuzhou. Of course, there was no one in Emperor Wu Ding's pocket, even if there were people The magistrate of the Zheng family's lair will not be appointed by someone outside the Zheng Fan system---Qi Tongshan, as the fourth earthquake propagandist, rubbed his sore waist and legs, while carefully repeating the matter Confession. "Dongning's post-disaster reconstruction is related to the morale of the frontline army, and we must not neglect it."

As the third prefect in the country after Yingtian and Fujing, Li Cang naturally understands the importance of Dongning in Zheng Fan's political map. After the news was sent out, the four envoys who followed suit explained everything. Of course, the envoys belonged to the Xuanfu. Those who should be blocked should still be blocked, and those that should be kept secret should be kept secret. Let the backbone of Zheng Jun feel uneasy.

"Lord Qi, don't worry." Li Cang assured Zuo Canzheng, the former magistrate of Tianxing County and the current Chief Secretary of Fujian Province. Speaking of which, the officials of the Ming Zheng regime in the provincial administrative regions were very chaotic. There were governors, governors, and so-called officials Among them, the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian set up governors first and then changed to governors, while Jiangxi first set up governors and then changed governors, Guangdong set up governors first and then governors, and Huguang set up governors as soon as they came up. However, as for Hunan and Guangxi, which are intertwined with each other, the commanders and generals of the capitals have been in charge of government affairs so far. It is not that Zheng Kezang does not want to be uniform. It cannot be effectively changed, so it has been delayed, but this does not prevent officials from recognizing each other's rank and status. "The lower officials have personally supervised the distribution of disaster relief food for half a year. In addition, the collapsed houses have been rebuilt one after another. The owners of good land in Tamsui County that were swallowed by the Great Lakes (Taipei Lake) have also been re-granted. As for the injured." Li Cang took the trouble to repeat everything he had reported. "Doctors and doctors have been arranged to take care of them as much as possible, and the deceased has also been rescued by Buddhists, Taoists, and Taixi monks."

"These are not enough." Qi Tongshan didn't come here to criticize, but he had already figured it out on the boat, blindly concealing will always have sequelae, so he wanted to find another way. "When I came here, I have already asked the king for instructions to check the military registration, and copied the roster of the generals of the feudal clan. I will ask Mr. Li to follow the map to find out who is behind. After finding the living military relatives, I will write a letter from each of them."

Li Cang was very annoyed, but he was so annoyed that it wasn't that the other party was doing it for him, but that he didn't think of this idea, so that the good thing of showing his face in front of Zheng Kezang was snatched away by others, but after thinking about it, natural disasters are ruthless, and he has something to do anyway. The hard work of disaster relief is here, and Zheng Kezang will definitely keep it in mind, why bother to follow other people's crooked ways in order to get lucky.

Of course, Li Cang would not put his thoughts on his face. Instead, he praised: "Master Qi has such a good idea, why didn't the subordinates think of it? Well, the subordinates will arrange this, but the military subordinates There are many, and they are scattered in various counties, and it may take some time to gather the letters, so please wait a little longer, my lord."

"No hurry, I'm going to visit the counties in Dongning." Qi Tongshan pondered for a moment. "However, the sergeant in front is desperate, so," Qi Tongshan paused. "I still have to thank Mr. Li to pay close attention to this matter. After collecting it every day, I will send it out by sailing ship." Qi Tongshan explained after looking at Li Cang who was a little embarrassed. "I have a warrant from the king here, but we can mobilize a notification ship every day, and it will not make it difficult for Mr. Li to do so."

Li Cang nodded in relief: "Since there is the king's order, the lower officials will naturally know how to do it. After all, the Fenghuo Sanyue family is worth ten thousand gold, so the sooner you send it, the better."

"Since August of the first year of Wuding, 17 concubines have been conferred consecutively today, and the crown prince has also taken in seven concubines." Yu Pingping, the censor of Youqiandu and military law officer of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, expressed expressionlessly. Zheng Kezang reported. "In addition, today, twelve noble relatives were successively granted the titles of Jin Yiwei's Deputy Qianhu, Qianhu, and Commander Qianshi, and the highest one was awarded the title of Commander Tongzhi."

After listening to Yu Ping's report, Zheng Kezang responded lightly: "Zhu Youge is the emperor after all, and it's not too much to confer the titles of a few royal relatives occasionally. There is no need to make a fuss about this matter. I will ask Yuanfu to reiterate this statement." As long as Zhu Youge does not confer titles on them under the feudal military system, presumably there will be no resentment in the army."

Be obedient and listen to the sound, of course Yu Ping can understand Zheng Kezang's subtext. The more Emperor Wu Ding acts against the law, the more he loses the morale of the army, the more relieved Zheng Kezang is. He just bowed slightly to show that he understood the meaning of his master. : "In addition, King Yiyang once suggested in the palace to restore the 26 guards of the pro-army, and recruit the descendants of the heroes to fill the role."

The so-called pro-army 26 guards refer to the Jinyiwei, Banner Guard, Jinwu Qianwei, Jinwu Guard, Habayashi Zuowei, Habayashi Right Guard, Fujunwei, and Fujun who are commanded by the emperor himself and not under the jurisdiction of the Dudufu of the Five Armies (Dadudufu). Left Guard, Fujun Right Guard, Fujun Vanguard, Fujun Backguard, Huben Left Guard (Note: Jinyiwei and other twelve guards were set up during the Hongwu period), Jinwu Right Guard, Habayashi Qianwei, Yanshan Zuowei, Yanshan Right Guard, Yanshan Qianwei, Yongqing Left Guard, Yongqing Right Guard, Wugong Central Guard, Wugong Left Guard, Wugong Right Guard (Note: Jinwu Zuowei and other ten guards were set up during the Yongle period), Tengxiang Zuowei, Tengxiang Right Guard, and Wugong Left Guard Guards and Wuxiang Right Guards (Tengxiang Four Guards were set up during the reign of Xuande), except for Jinyiwei, which is a secret service organization, standard-bearer guards, which are guards of honor, and Wugong Sanwei, who are military craftsmen affiliated to the Ministry of Industry, the rest are armed guards with escorts .

"Oh?" Zheng Kezang uttered in surprise. "So someone is really ready to move? What does Zhu Youge mean?"

"I think that the war is not peaceful now, and the country doesn't have the extra financial resources to support such a large army, but the children of heroes should be properly arranged, so I also want to reset the Jinyiwei, the standard-bearer guards, and the avant-garde guards of the prince's government army. However, today there seems to be a difference I have no scruples, so far I have not made a request to the cabinet."

"Interesting." Zheng Kezang laughed lightly. "One is asking for a lot of money, and the other is showing up to be a good person. This puppet show is really good." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang's face turned serious. "The vanguard of the government army leads the young army. Do you want to imitate the boy scouts and young martial arts? Jin Yiwei is in charge of detectives and prisons. Why do you feel that your eyes and ears are closed." Yu Ping stood there with his head bowed and did not answer. Zheng Kezang stood up and walked around Turned the chair around twice. "Didn't the emperor say that now that the national economy is in dire straits and the financial resources are all in front of the army, it is extremely difficult to go to the three guards again. It is better to first set up the brocade guards and the standard guards to accommodate the children of heroes." Zheng Kezang's words are naturally written one by one. Recorded, and then after Zheng Kezang's painting was confirmed, the clippers were sent to Fujing, and then the cabinet proposed a motion to Emperor Wu Ding. "It's just that the military system is different from the guards used in the past. Therefore, the two guards are counted as one regiment first, so that the Ministry of War can allocate funds."

Yu Ping and Zheng Kezang reported another thing after they had finished their work: "In addition, Yi Wang Zhu Yihao once proposed to rebuild the clan mansion at the family banquet for the kings in order to rectify the genealogy, identify jade plates, and use this to trace the meritorious officials. Child status."

"It's nothing more than wanting to grasp a piece of strength to win over the former prince." Zheng Kezang judged coldly, and then asked. "I just remember that the clan's mansion in this dynasty is generally staffed by ministers who are relatives of the ancestors and lead the affairs of the clan's mansion, and there is no special official."

Since Yu Ping came to report, he had checked out all the information, so he said naturally: "Your Majesty is right, but later all the affairs of the clan's mansion were handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the so-called matter of important ministers and leaders also ended without purpose. "

"Then wait for King Yi's papers to come up, please recommend Mr. Hong and Mr. Yang from the cabinet to Guyao to receive the patriarchal order, and then recommend Huaiyuanhou (Wu Shu) to lead Zuo Zongzheng and Ningyanghou (Zheng Ming) as the post." You Zongren, as for the following Department of Experience, Department of Left and Right, Yudie Academy, Zongxue, etc., it can be respected as a rule that the Ministry of Rites will send staff to concurrently take up the post."

Yu Ping retreated, Zheng Kezang returned to his seat and thought for a moment, then ordered Lin Heng to be summoned: "Is there any progress in the matter of unifying the numbers of the whole army from the Military Affairs Department?"

Now Zheng Jun has two types of designations. Except for the [-] infantry divisions established early in the morning, the rest of the divisions are named after place names. It is easy for opponents to see the truth, so Zheng Kezang is determined to change this situation. His thinking, Lin Heng and the others were busy for a while, of course not because of the names of these divisions, but because the Military Affairs Department wanted to limit the number of divisions based on financial resources, and the Staff Office wanted to expand the number of divisions according to the needs of the war. It is now difficult to reach an agreement.

"Returning to the king, the Department of Military Affairs and the Office of the General Staff have preliminarily determined the designation of the 48th Division." Lin Heng replied. "21 of them are located along the river in South Zhili, two in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, one in Dongning, four in Jiangxi, three in Guangdong, five in Huguang, six in Hunan, and four in Guangxi."

Zheng Kezang looked at Lin Heng with some doubts: "Is there a little less troops in Guangxi?"

"A lot." Lin Heng replied. "Your Majesty forgot, there is still a division on the side of the Western Fleet."

"The generals in front are probably only looking forward to the more the better." Although Zheng Kezang had only experienced the flames of war in the defense of Dongning, he had also coordinated several large and small battles, so he knew very well what the frontline commanders were thinking. , so he decided to revise the plan of the Military Affairs Department. "Dongning has the Nanyang Fleet, and one naval division is enough, and the designation of the other division is allocated to Guangxi. In addition, one division in southern Jiangxi and two divisions in northern Jiangxi are enough, and the remaining division is allocated to Huguang." Lin Heng who was slightly nervous, Zheng Kezang turned to comfort him. "Pengze has the Chizhou Camp Gu Fu, Ruichang has the Huguang Army in the Wuchang Ezhou direction, and the two divisions will guard the Jiujiang and Nankang directions. Besides, there is the Hukou Camp of the Inland River Fleet."

"Since the king has made a comprehensive assessment, I will take orders, but I think that in this case, it is better to strengthen Hunan than to strengthen Huguang."

"Hunan?" Zheng Kezang clapped his hands and laughed. "It makes sense, it makes sense. As long as Hunan is resolved, regardless of Guangxi or Huguang, this game of chess will come alive."
