"The unified military system formulated by the general is conducive to the future development of our Liaodong Rebel Army in Liao."

Yang Fangxing smiled and complimented Li Zicheng: "Especially the clarification of the field army and garrison army, so that our army can have stronger confidence when facing the Ming Dynasty and Jianlu."

"The current enemy of our army is still Jianlu."

Li Zicheng held a dry pipe in his mouth and smoked it. He said with a serious expression: "For the firearms, artillery, gunpowder and other needs that our army needs, we must maintain the arms trade with Tianjin.

Therefore, it is beneficial for our army to let the Ming army occupy Jinzhou Guard.

We have fought many battles with the Jianlu Eight Banners in the past. They are indeed brave and good at fighting. This is an indisputable fact.

Without making these adjustments and changes, it is unrealistic to resist the invasion of Jianlu.

In addition to changing the military system, what I care most about is the preparation of the martial arts hall. It's hard to say what Chongzhen is, but he is very good at running the army.

Vigorous efforts are made to cultivate generals who will lead the soldiers and form a fixed pattern, which will have a positive effect on the combat effectiveness of the army."

Yang Fangxing was a little emotional.

The fact that his own commander-in-chief paid so much attention to the construction of his army made him feel a little uneasy, and the literati problem in his heart had returned.

Although Yang Fangxing is a capitulator.

However, Li Zicheng now relied heavily on him, which made Yang Fangxing recommend a group of surrender factions to Li Zicheng when he was ordered to sort out Gaizhou and Fuzhou.

"I will not mention matters involving military and political matters for the time being."

Li Zicheng held the dry pipe, stretched out his hand and said to Yang Fangxing: "Let's talk about the management of local affairs. In view of the current complicated situation in Liaodong, I have decided to create the Tianyou Hall to take charge of the management of everything.

There is a title of Prime Minister, who is responsible for all affairs of Tianyou Palace.

Zuo Fu and You Bi were appointed to assist the prime minister in handling political affairs.

For the post of Prime Minister of the Tianyou Palace, I have thought about it a lot and feel that Mr. Sir is the most suitable one, but I don’t know if Mr. Sir, would you be willing to share my worries?"

"I humbly agree!"

Yang Fangxing could not conceal his excitement and immediately bowed and saluted.

The Privy Council's target was the Ming Military Aircraft Department.

The target of Tianyou Palace is the Ming Dynasty Cabinet!

These plans made clear by Li Zicheng made Yang Fangxing aware of Li Zicheng's ambition. He clearly wanted to separate one party and become king and hegemony.

If Li Zicheng really succeeds, wouldn't Yang Fangxing follow him into a meteoric rise?

The Prime Minister of Tianyou Palace, one person is inferior to ten thousand people!

"Commander, you are so wise and powerful, and you have led us to occupy the lands in southern Liaoning. Do you want to go further?" Yang Fangxing, who became more and more excited as he thought about it, immediately advised him: "If the commander can go further, what will happen to us?"

Under his command..."

"Enough!!"

Li Zicheng frowned, looked at Yang Fangxing and scolded: "What are you going to do further? Proclaim yourself a king? Or proclaim yourself an emperor? Do you really want to see me die?"

"I don't dare to be humble!"

Yang Fangxing, whose face changed slightly, subconsciously knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty to Li Zicheng: "I am absolutely loyal to the commander-in-chief. I have never thought of it this way."

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Rebel Army. I don't want to call myself king or emperor!"

Li Zicheng said with a cold expression: "This commander must unite with the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can we fight against the Eight Banners of Jianlu. If we really become the king and the emperor, it will be the Ming Dynasty that will be angered.

Do you think Chongzhen will allow a king or a new emperor to emerge in Liaodong to fight against the Ming Dynasty?

Don't forget it.

The firearms, artillery, gunpowder, etc. installed in our Liaodong Rebel Army were all secretly purchased from the Ming Dynasty. They were decided by Chongzhen's greed for money.

If I dare to do this, I don't know what Chongzhen's son will think.

As for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, once they know about this, they will also advise Chongzhen and raise troops to encircle and suppress our Liaodong Rebel Army."

Seizing Gaizhou and Fuzhou did not make Li Zicheng become arrogant and felt that he could challenge Emperor Chongzhen.

In fact, many aspects of the Liaodong Rebel Army under the jurisdiction of Li Zicheng were restricted by the barriers built by Emperor Chongzhen, such as arms transactions and maritime trade.

At present, the total number of craftsmen under Li Zicheng's command does not exceed 500, and there is not even a gunsmith among them. This means that Li Zicheng does not dare to anger Emperor Chongzhen.

Otherwise, his plan to rely on firearms and artillery to defeat the Eight Jianlu Banners would be completely shattered. If such a pattern is formed, the Liaodong Rebel Army will end up being destroyed by the Eight Jianlu Banners.

"Get up."

Looking at Yang Fangxing who was like chaff, Li Zicheng, who suppressed his anger, frowned and said: "Don't kneel down all the time. Don't let the Liaodong Rebel Army rise up with Jianlu's tricks.

We are of Chinese ethnicity, Zhengshuo Han people, and it is polite to kneel down and worship.

Let’s continue talking about governance.

In order to better govern the place, I decided to establish six governments under the Tianyou Palace: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers, to be responsible for the corresponding powers..."

Yang Fangxing shivered and listened carefully to what Li Zicheng said.

For Li Zicheng, he cared more about actual interests than the so-called false reputation to ensure that his plans could be gradually implemented in Liaodong.

He wants to challenge the man who scares him!!

The military and political system he is currently clarifying, including complaints, public trials, land distribution and other matters he had done before, were all taught to him by Emperor Chongzhen.

This also allowed the occupied Fuzhou and Gaizhou to be integrated in the shortest time and the corresponding troops and horses were recruited to ensure the stability of one's forces.

But what Li Zicheng didn't know was that the real core ideas of what Emperor Chongzhen said were not taught to him. The theory he pursued could only be regarded as a castrated version at best.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to limit the establishment of captives and enhance the cohesion of the Pan-Liaodong strategy. However, for Li Zicheng's forces, he was more of a pioneer and a grindstone, rather than truly cultivating powerful enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the Jianlu Eight Banners were completely suppressed, Liaodong played the role of a dumping ground and resource base for the Ming Dynasty to promote the development of primitive industrialization within the pass.

When Emperor Chongzhen initially planned to reform the Ming Dynasty's national system, eradicate some bad governance and cancer, and prepare for the establishment of a sound military system, the strategic plan to fully recover Liaodong could be put on the agenda.

"Commander, if our army wants to maintain trade relations with the Ming Dynasty and relies solely on gold and silver for bulk purchases, I'm afraid our army won't be able to hold on for long."

Yang Fangxing suppressed his fear and looked at Li Zicheng and said: "After all, the seized gold and silver will not only be rewarded to the troops under his command, but also the various expenses of the Tianyou Palace, and even the Privy Council will also need various expenses, maybe for a year and a half.

Internally, our army will not have any problems, but it will change over time."

"I have made this matter clear to Chongzhen's son."

Li Zicheng frowned and said: "Things like Jianlu Zhentar, war horses, various mineral deposits, medicinal materials, salt, etc. can be offset at a discount, but the price will be lower.

In the future, Tianyou Palace will gradually clarify these matters to ensure that there will be no problems in the arms trade between our Liaodong Rebel Army and the Ming Dynasty."

"Here!"

Yang Fangxing immediately bowed his head.

"Also, the missing officials must be screened out as soon as possible." Li Zicheng continued: "The team of Tianyou Palace must be put into operation as soon as possible. After the corresponding manpower is clear, lead them to meet with me in batches.

, I will appoint the best ones at that time."

"Here."

Yang Fangxing paid his respects again.

The current situation seems stable, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent. Li Zicheng has too many things to do, and the forces he leads must develop as soon as possible.

In particular, the arms trade with the Ming Dynasty must be promoted as soon as possible, so that the field armies under his command can be equipped with firearms and artillery of corresponding sizes.

The foundation of the forces under his jurisdiction is unstable, so Li Zicheng must plan as soon as possible to continue to attack the Liao territories controlled by Jianlu. He must try to seize Xiuyan City, Ding Liao Youwei and other places. Only by increasing the territory under his jurisdiction can the corresponding foundation become stronger.

.

In fact, Li Zicheng has figured it out. What he is doing in Liaodong is to do long-term work for Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen gets all the benefits, but he has to bear the wrath of the Eight Banners of Jianqi and ensure that he will not be defeated in Liao.

The Eight Banners of Jianlu were destroyed.
