A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 735 Released
Surrounded by the crowd, Han Xianwei went to a seat and sat down. The people beside him took the initiative to order a pot of high-quality Longjing for him, and then they sat around together, full of anticipation.

A chubby tea guest unfolded the newspaper in his hand and asked impatiently, "Member Han, who do you think should be the leader of the three divisions of the shogunate?"

Seeing the expectant gazes of the people beside him, even people far away pricked up their ears, Han Xianwei smiled, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said slowly: "Everyone, in my humble opinion, who is the minister?" , who is the director, it is actually not important, what we should be more concerned about is that the general perfects the shogunate, and there is a mystery in it!"

He unfolded the newspaper in his hand and said loudly: "The Department of Civil Affairs used to have departments of agriculture, animal husbandry, commerce and trade, and factories and mines. Now it has been promoted to a department and more departments have been added. It is especially important to note that there is a new science and technology department in the inner and middle. It’s the same, adding a military science department, the two must be the same, what’s the meaning?”

He said: "I heard that there are Lai Yuanlong, Li Maosen, and Li Zhifen under the Logistics Department. They were originally officials and craftsmen. Now they have separated from the Logistics Department and are the director and deputy director of the Military Science Department. I heard that this department is only for Document planning, research technology, what is this technology?"

He thought about it: "I also heard that Wu Shihuan, a former carpenter, also took an important position in the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There are many important people in the department who were originally engaged in farming, mining, and making machinery. They were able to become officials because of their achievements in agriculture and business... ...It seems that the shogunate is in great need of people who can improve people's and material resources and who are good at ingenuity and ingenuity. If you have skills, you can go to the Science and Technology Department to find a job."

There was a lot of laughter in the teahouse. Many people really moved their minds. They don't need to do anything, they just do the calculations and draw pictures, just like the Department of Education in the shogunate, it suits everyone's taste.

Many people secretly admired Han Xianwei for finding a new way to point out what they had neglected.

Just listen to Han Xianwei continue: "There is also the newly established Department of Resources of the Ministry of Civil Affairs..."

……

There were bursts of commotion from the teahouse, and bursts of applause from time to time. Hearing the voice below, Zhu Zhifeng, governor of Xuanfu, snorted angrily, and put down his teacup heavily.

Wei Jingyuan, the governor of Datong on the opposite side, just smiled slightly. He listened to Han Xianwei's voice below, and sighed: "There are still sages in the wild, it's really insightful."

"Xian fart!"

Zhu Zhifeng couldn't help bursting out a foul word, his iron face was full of anger, and his long beard fluttered in anger, he blew his beard and stared at his eyes and said, "What's the state of the country?"

He was heartbroken: "National affairs have been reduced to children's talk, so I am too lazy to talk about it. Anyway, the imperial court has to open newspapers everywhere... But what is Yongninghou doing? This is the basis. All those who search for ore, those who forge iron, and those who make utensils are all brought into the mansion. What is the order of the court? This is really upside down!"

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and finally he slapped his palm on the table bitterly, and several teapots and cups rattled and danced.

After Governor Zhu took office, he tried his best to appease Wang Dou. He hoped that the governor of Xuanzhen and the commander-in-chief could become a model for local civil and military cooperation and reporting to the court. It's just that many things are often out of control.

Governor Zhu also highly appreciates Wang Dou's efforts to develop the people's livelihood in the town and benefit the people. Of course, he is also displeased with many things, especially Wang Dou's prestige is getting more and more serious. He was very depressed.

In addition, the news spread that Wang Dou decided to develop Monan and vigorously recruit officials. Many officials in his system were tempted, which made Governor Zhu feel tempted.

After all, under Wang Dou's governance, Xuanfu Town now has fewer opportunities for corruption and bribery, and the court is also in financial difficulties. Food and salaries are delayed again and again, and many officials' monthly salaries are often not paid. He even had trouble governing.

Looking at Wei Jingyuan, Zhu Zhifeng said solemnly: "The Marquis of Yongning is a military general, he only has military and political qualifications, and has no civil administration authority. Wei Gong, for the imperial court's important affairs, you and I should go together to advise!"

Wei Jingyuan shook his head: "The Marquis of Yongning is only in charge of his own fortress, and when recruiting officials from outside, he is only in the name of aides and does not violate the rules. Besides, the imperial court has now appointed him as the chief protector of the Anbei Protectorate..."

He shook his head. Wang Dou wanted to recruit officials. Although he was treated at the same level as the department, department, department, and department, he was still a member of the staff and not an official in the eyes of outsiders, so he did not violate the system. Now he is appointed As the chief protector of Anbei Protectorate Mansion, governing the civil affairs in Monan, he is even more confident.

At the same time, he also sighed, for the monthly salary, the annual salary, and the rewards of meritorious service, he was afraid that the officials in Datong Town would also run away a lot. He used to think that Wang Dou had no literati to take refuge in, and threats were threats, which would not be fatal to the court. ,Now it seems……

Moreover, the more students he has in the fort and the army, the more talents he can use.

His heart was heavy, the country was in a precarious state, but he was helpless, it was really painful like a knife cutting his heart.

Zhu Zhifeng also had a desolate expression, feeling powerless in his heart, suddenly he remembered something, and said happily: "The Zuodu Censor Shi Banghua has come to the town, Li Gongde is highly respected, after he takes the post of Deputy Chief Protector, he must be able to teach and make people feel good. The Marquis of Yongning has suddenly come to his senses, and is devoted to the imperial court wholeheartedly."

Wei Jingyuan remained silent. He also heard the news from the court that Li Banghua would come to Xuanfu Town, so he stayed in Xuanfu Town to wait to be greeted.

It's just that at this time officials travel by bridge, and Li Banghua has traveled more than 400 miles from the capital to Xuanfu town.

Waiting is boring, these days Xuanfu Town is full of affairs of the Wangdou shogunate, he also wants to hear the voices of the people, so he travels with Zhu Zhifeng in low clothes, sits in this teahouse, and even the staff members disperse outside the elegant room .

Regarding Li Banghua's arrival, Wei Jingyuan was not as optimistic as Zhu Zhifeng. He also heard the news from the palace of the capital. Regarding the matter of Wang Dou, there were fierce disputes among the ministers at that time, and the ministers often made shocking remarks.

In particular, Li Banghua himself suggested that Wang Dou be called to Beijing for house arrest, which is really...

The Holy Majesty was afraid that the Marquis of Yongning would be uneasy, so he sent Li Banghua here specially. He didn't care about his life and death, so what's the use?

He got up slowly and sighed: "What's the use of Li Gong coming? The situation and the people's hearts are definitely not on the court's side."

He walked to the window and looked at the crowd below, talking about the affairs of the shogunate. Many people had excited smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were satisfied with their current life. He said: "This is a blessing for the people, but not for the court." The blessing is also."

He said indifferently: "The salary of eating the emperor, the matter of being loyal to the emperor, we will do our best to obey the destiny, but it has not yet reached that point, the Marquis of Yongning is still loyal to the court."

He whispered to himself: "If nothing can be done..."

Speaking of this, he felt a sudden pain in his heart. It was still the kind of feeling that made people tremble violently and was extremely painful: "We will serve the country with our deaths."

Suddenly there was a commotion, and many people on the street were shouting: "Come out, come out..."

……

Numerous officials and generals poured out from the General's Mansion, all of them smiling, there was a commotion outside the gate, interviews in the square swarmed up, and a few chased out from inside, they were allowed to participate in the meeting and entered the General's House people.

"Minister Han, Minister Zhang, please say a few words."

"Vice Minister Zhong, what do you think about the future of the Financial Secretary?"

The people surrounded by the interviewers all had a reserved look. They knew that what they said was very likely to be published in the newspapers, so they were very cautious in their wording.

They have experienced this kind of scene several times before, from novelty to naturalness, it is no longer Wuxia Amon.

Of course, Zhong Rong is very happy to become the vice minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but at the same time he feels a heavy responsibility.

He thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Thanks to the great general's kindness, let me be the deputy minister, and at the same time be in charge of the finance department. I deeply feel the heavy responsibility, and I will do my best to manage the money bag of the whole government for the general."

Surrounded by interviews, while asking questions, he quickly wrote on the cardboard with a pencil, watching the crowd from a distance, looking into their brains, and even paying attention to Zhong Rong's mouth shape.

At this time, a chunky meat ball "rolled" out, but it was Li Zhifen, the new deputy director of the Military Science Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs. He immediately attracted the attention of many interviewers. Many people surrounded him and shouted: "Deputy Director Li , say a few words."

"Yes, say a few words."

Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, Zhong Rong took the opportunity to leave. He always felt uncomfortable in the face of interviews.

Li Zhifen smiled and said: "Good place, good place."

He took his short and stout steps and said, "Let me think about it."

He was thinking, but walked faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, the person had disappeared.

On the tenth day of October in the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Xuanfu Times published the current structure of the shogunate in a large page. That is, departments, departments, departments, departments, etc., and then divided into principals and deputy officers.

It is worth noting that Li Daji's meritorious deeds were directly promoted by Wang Dou to the deputy director of the Military Science Department, and he enjoyed the treatment at the deputy department level, which also showed Wang Dou's determination in military scientific research.

The entire shogunate is divided into three departments: the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Supervision, as well as the Central Military Department directly under Wang Dou.

Among them, South Korea is the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, with Sun Sanjie, Qi Tianliang, and Lin Daofu as the deputy ministers. The main duties are to be responsible for the training, equipment, establishment, recruitment, rank, salary, and military research of the entire army. wait.

With Zhang Gui as the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhong Rong, Zhong Zhengxian, and Tian Changguo as the Deputy Ministers, the main responsibilities are to be in charge of finance, auditing, public security, commerce, urban construction, industrial and mining, water conservancy, transportation, agriculture, animal husbandry, education, etc. wait.

With Chi Dacheng as the Minister of Supervision, Liu Benshen and others as the Deputy Ministers, Ye Xizhi was promoted as the Director of the Shogunate Secretary Office, Ren Jiang Hongsheng and others were the Deputy Directors, in charge of the original Zhong Zhengxian's affairs.

Zhong Zhengxian is mainly engaged in auditing in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He is outstanding in arithmetic, and he is in his position, making the best use of his calculations.

In Wangdou's direct jurisdiction, there are the General Staff Department, the Intelligence Department, the Foreign Affairs Department, the Zhenfu Department, the Education Department, and the two major colleges of military and civil affairs.

After Chi Dacheng was transferred to be the Minister of Supervision, the Department of Zhenfu was replaced by Huang Shibian, an old subordinate. Wen Daxing continued to serve as the chief officer of the Intelligence Department, and Wen Fangliang was appointed as the Chief of the Staff Department. .

The General Staff Department is very powerful. It is the only department in the Jingbian Army that can order mobilization, combat, or the mobilization of the entire army. The Military and Political Department does not have this power.

Comparing the two, the General Staff Department is like the current military department of the imperial court, and the Military and Political Department is like the current Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. This is also a sign of the complete separation of training and leading troops in the Jingbian Army.

Of course, Wang Dou's Military and Political Department is not just an empty title like the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, but has clear functions and powers, which are very powerful and necessary to set up.
