  Chapter 281 279 [Prosperity and Corruption] (add more for the penguin boss)

  Lu Xiangsheng was dismissed, but he didn't follow through.

   Was removed from the title of governor of Tianxiaqinwang Bingma, and took back Shangfang's sword. Then he was relegated to the honorary position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and was demoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War. He could still lead troops, but he could only bring his own 5,000 pacesetters.

  Gao Qiqian's two impeachment memorials are nothing but catalysts.

  The real reason is that Chongzhen was extremely disappointed with Lu Xiangsheng. The Manchus entered the customs several times, but none of them could fight from Beijing to Jinan like this!

  Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting were urgently recalled to Beijing.

   Before the three of them arrive in Beijing, there must be a commander in chief. Therefore, Liu Yuliang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was thrown to the front line by Chongzhen, and took full charge of the battle situation as the chief assistant.

  Liu Yuliang, from Sichuan.

  Just looking at his hometown, he knew that Yang Sichang promoted him. Xiong Wencan is from Sichuan, and Xie Wenjin is from Sichuan, both of whom are confidantes of Yang Sichang.

  Anyway, as long as he is not an official from Nanzhili or Zhejiang, Yang Sichang is very willing to be promoted.

   In other words, Chongzhen is very willing to be promoted!

  The Donglin Party is really on its last legs, being suppressed so badly by the emperor.

  In "Donglin Dianjianglu", Xie Wenjin is the "prestige star with a hundred victories". As for Sun Bixian, it is "the earth's comet is as bright as one zhangqing". Both of them betrayed the Donglin Party and were promoted by Yang Sichang to be the left and right servants of the Ministry of War.

  Military Minister Yang Sichang, you can promote the chief assistant!

   Liu Yuliang joined the cabinet in August last year and became the chief assistant in June this year.

   Chongzhen was already in a hurry, and successively dismissed the two chief assistants, and at the same time dismissed the cabinet ministers. As a result, Liu Yuliang had just entered the cabinet and became the chief assistant within ten months.

  Being sent by Chongzhen to command the overall situation, Liu Yuliang was terrified to death, but he dared not not go.

   This guy had just arrived in Anping, and when he heard that the Qing soldiers were coming, he didn't check the truth, so he was so frightened that he fled to Jinzhou.

Chen Hongxu, the governor of Jinzhou, closed the city gate and angrily reprimanded the chief assistant: "The supervisor is here to defend against the enemy, and the bandits are coming, why are you so busy evading? You said you came to collect food, and you went to the household department yourself. If you want to enter the city, you dare not obey orders!" "

   Liu Yuliang was furious, and sent a fast horse to impeach, and Chen Hongxu was arrested and imprisoned.

  The people stopped him from leaving, saying they were willing to go to jail instead of Zhizhou, and some threatened to go to Beijing to seek justice. There is no way, you can't arrest people, you can only let the Ministry of officials demote officials and call them.

   Facing such an ending, Chen Hongxu was so angry that he went home and took refuge in Zhao Han!

  He is originally from Jiangxi.

  Liu Yuliang went to Tianjin again, but he dared not go south. I didn't dare to face the Tartars, but impeached the generals for being afraid of the enemy, and offended a bunch of generals.

  Finally, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting led troops to King Qin, and together with Liu Yuliang more than 100,000 troops.

  More than 100,000 people froze in place, not daring to move, because Liu Yuliang forbade the enemy to underestimate the enemy.

  When Yang Sichang returned to Beijing, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Yuliang.

  Xue Guoguan wanted to be the chief assistant, so he asked Yang Sichang for help, and Liu Yuliang was arrested and imprisoned. Another chief assistant in the Chongzhen Dynasty was finished.

  Dorgon saw that the Ming army did not divide the troops, and more than 100,000 people shrank into a ball, and there was no way to eat them. Therefore, Dorgon ordered the withdrawal of troops, and swaggered back to Liaodong with countless people, livestock, and goods.

   Next, start the infighting.

  Yang Sichang wanted to keep the troops of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to guard Jiliao and prevent the Tatars from entering the pass again.

   Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting resolutely opposed it, and Yang Sichang threw him into prison after some manipulation.

  The changes brought about by Zhao Han seem to only make Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting inmates...

   Of course more than that!

  The finances of the Ming Dynasty were even more difficult. The soldiers who died in battle were unable to provide compensation, and the soldiers who had done meritorious service had no money to reward them.

  The Tartars had only left for three months before a mutiny broke out in Baoding, followed by a mutiny in Henan.

  The mutiny in Henan was very big. Facing the conquest by officers and soldiers, he became a bandit and went to Shaanxi to vote for Li Zicheng.

   Li Zicheng, who was beaten and disabled, regained his strength, led the officers and soldiers around, and returned to Henan to recruit hungry people. In an instant, there were more than 100,000 people (mostly weak and hungry people).

   There is no need to coerce bandits to cross the border, and the people will come to join them.

  Because of the court's active attack, Zhang Xianzhong fled ahead of time.

   Taking advantage of the officers and soldiers encircling and suppressing Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong jumped out of the encirclement and ran to Nanzhili again, almost picking up the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family in Fengyang again.

  The northwestern rogues are growing faster than in history!

  Faced with such a situation, the imperial court could only increase the training salary. Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong occupied by Zhao Han naturally cannot be apportioned, but the total salary has not been reduced much, and it is even more unbearable for the common people.

  Not to mention the war-torn provinces in the north, even Sichuan has several peasant armies!

   Two years ahead of schedule, the Shandong uprising blocked water transportation, and grain prices in the north skyrocketed. Some officers and soldiers who besieged Li Zicheng, as well as Jiliao officers and soldiers who guarded against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, were transferred to Shandong to suppress the uprising army.

  Because of the additional dispatch, civil unrest in Guangxi and Fujian resurged.

  Before the rebellion chieftain in Guizhou, because Zhu Xieyuan was transferred to Jiangxi to conquer Zhao Han, some remnants hid in the mountains and had not been wiped out. Now he has come out of the mountains again and captured many counties in Shuixi.

  In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Zhejiang and Yunnan have no military disasters, and the rest of the provinces are all experiencing wars.

  The butterfly effect brought by Zhao Han completely detonated in the 12th year of Chongzhen!

  Even if experts in the history of the Ming Dynasty were allowed to travel here, they would definitely not be able to understand the situation. It was already a **** mess.

  The current Daming is a mess.

  No matter how big Zhao Han was in the south, Chongzhen couldn't control it, because all the north was at war.

  …

  Jiangxi is very stable, Zhao Han had a good life in his childhood.

  Back to the winter of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still raging, Zhao Han ordered the reform of the system.

  Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong formally established as provinces, adding government departments such as industrial and commercial departments. Merchants in the three provinces must apply for a business license, which is scheduled to take effect on the first day of the first month. After the first day of the first lunar month, those who have not applied for a license are not allowed to operate various businesses.

   Brothels must also be licensed.

  And there is no pornographic business, and the business attribute is "singing house and dancing pavilion". Regular inspection twice a month, surprise inspection to see the situation, heavy fines if caught. Commonly known as anti-pornography.

   It is definitely impossible to ban it. No country can do it. Even if it is banned for a while, it will revive.

   Whether it can be banned is one thing, but whether it can't be banned is another.

  Even in later generations of Japan, it is illegal to sell that kind of stuff, and **** will be suppressed every now and then.

  Once it is legalized, it will inevitably lead to a large number of crimes, such as abduction, imprisonment, and abuse of women.

  At the same time as the political reform, the military is also reforming.

  Datong Army expanded from 16,000 to 23,000.

  South Academy Army 5000 people, temporarily stationed in Guangdong.

  5,000 troops from the North Academy are temporarily stationed in Hunan.

  The 5,000 members of the Central Academy Army are temporarily stationed in Jiangxi.

   Zhao Han's 1,000 soldiers were stationed in Ji'an Mansion.

  Jiangxi Navy expanded its troops to 4,000 and stationed at Poyang Lake.

  Guangdong Navy, expanded to 2000 people (including crew), stationed in Guangzhou.

  Added Guangzhou Coast Guard with 1,000 troops (including Guangzhou Inspection Department and Xiangshan Inspection Department), temporarily under the charge of dismissed Fei Ruhe.

   Zhao Han's 1,000 soldiers were separated from the army of the Central Academy. For the shortage of soldiers in the Central Academy, we will choose supplements from Jiangxi farmers and soldiers.

  For the rest of the troops, recruit soldiers nearby.

  For example, the Guangdong Navy recruits from coastal fishermen. The Nanyuan Army stationed in Guangdong recruited Guangdong mountain people to join the army when replenishing its troops. Huguang's Beiyuan Army recruited rebel miners to join the army.

  These measures are also for balance.

   Otherwise, not only would there be a lot of officials from Jiangxi, but even the army would be all Jiangxi soldiers.

   In addition, there are internal reforms in the army.

  The military system of the Ming Dynasty has been changing, and the military system at the end of the Ming Dynasty was different from the south and the north.

  The grassroots units of the army before Zhao Han were divided into five, even, team, sentry, general, and battalion.

  If you compare the People's Liberation Army, even the squad is the squad, the team is the platoon, the sentry is the company, and even the number of people is exactly the same.

These are not intended to be changed, but to cancel the general, add regiments and brigades, namely Wu (5 people), Shi (10 people), team (30 people), sentry (90 people), battalion (450 people), regiment (1350 people) people), brigade (4050 people).

  Including various other personnel, a battalion has about 500 troops, a regiment has about 1,500 troops, and a brigade has about 5,000 troops (including military medical team and cooking soldiers).

   Brigade and regiment battalion and so on, Zhao Han took it and used it, and it was easily accepted by the soldiers.

  Regimental division, strong force, these are the words used by the army.

  The reform of the three provinces is thriving, in stark contrast to the decline of Ming Dynasty.

  …

   "Meet the general town!"

  Several Guangdong and Hunan scholars arrived one after another, and they came to meet Zhao Han collectively.

  The governor of southern Hunan, Wang Zhiliang, has been reluctant to surrender because he is worried about his five sons. This person has profound attainments in academics and practical studies, and was thrown into Bailuzhou Academy as a teacher.

  Wang Qisheng, the prefect of Changsha, and Yang Guanji, the magistrate of Changsha County, were thrown into Changsha to become mayors because of their meritorious service in assisting in the governance of Changsha.

  The four Tao brothers all made great contributions to the city.

  Remember their credit for the time being. Because they are too young, the second, third, and fourth children were arranged to study in Ji'an Mansion.

  The boss, Tao Aizhi, was recruited as the secretary of the General Military Mansion.

   Wang Dai, who was in Xiancheng in Xiangtan, was also recruited to Zhao Han's side.

  In addition, there are Zhang Jiayu, Chen Zisheng, and Kuang Lu from Guangdong, who are now Zhao Han's secretary.

  Hu Mengtai was released and sent to Hunan to be the county director.

   Zhao Han's former secretary, half of them were directly released, anyway, there is a lack of officials everywhere now.

   "Have you seen it everywhere in Ji'an?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

Wang Dai clasped his hands and said, "Wansheng first went to Bailuzhou, then went to Luling County Middle School, and then visited the city, outside the city, and the countryside in the suburbs. What he said and heard was amazing. Although it can't be called Datong, it is It’s not far away either. The general town is the hero of the ages!”

   "Why can't it be called Datong? I think Ji'an Mansion is already Datong!" Tao Aizhi retorted immediately.

  Zhang Jiayu said with a smile: "In the countryside of Luling, everyone respects martial arts, and only farmers and soldiers in villages and towns can sweep the south."

  Chen Zisheng sighed: "Everything is fine, brothels... don't mention it."

  Because brothels are forced to apply for industrial and commercial licenses, they claim to be singing houses and dance pavilions. So when I was in business, I also focused on singing and dancing, and I had to pay more if I wanted to go to bed.

  Zhao Han smiled and asked Kuang Lu: "Why doesn't Mr. Kuang talk?"

  Kuang Lu sighed: "I've been wasted so far, I just want to do things, and the general town let me be the secretary."

   "Isn't it good to be a secretary? This is equivalent to the cabinet's Zhongshu Sheren, and the daily official documents are all important events in the world," Zhao Han asked, "If it is released, what do you want to do?"

  Kuang Lu was distressed: "I don't know, I know everything."

  This man is both civil and military. He has been avoiding disasters abroad for several years and traveled half of China. His dissolute personality has subsided a lot.

  Zhao Han asked: "You traveled all over the provinces, what did you see?"

  Kuang Lu replied: "The people are in dire straits, and the dynasty is at the end of the world."

   "Follow me and do things well, and I will make the last days of this dynasty as stable and prosperous as Ji'an Mansion." Zhao Han said.

   "It would be great if that's the case." Kuang Lu laughed.

  Zhao Han suddenly thought of someone: "Why didn't Zheng Sen come today?"

  Zhang Jiayu replied: "He has gone to the mathematics society."
