"With the recovery of Chungcheong Province and Jeolla Province, the next focus of work is the governance of these places. The current problem is the lack of a large number of trustworthy officials. The original North Korean officials and scholars do not have enough work experience, and they are completely
They are not qualified for our administrative system. I plan to set up an administrative school in Hanyang, and at the same time ask Chief Prosecutor Huang to set up a judicial school to train a large number of local officials."
The entire southern part of the Korean Peninsula has been completely recovered and connected into one piece.
Although the war is still going on, local governance is related to the outcome of the war, and Wang Yun is very worried.
He reported the strategy to Zuo Mengeng.
"Far water cannot quench the near thirst. We are now starting to train officials. When they can be put into actual work, the day lilies are already cold. For now, the only way is to transfer people from China and mobilize a large number of people. First set up the administrative framework, and by the way
Use this opportunity to train grassroots officials to facilitate our future expansion."
Zuo Menggeng's opinion is that the administrative school must be built, but the current administrative work cannot be delayed.
Since North Korean officials cannot be counted on, they can only transfer people from Xia State.
The number of administrative schools in the Xia Kingdom has increased from one to three, located in Linqing, Huai'an and Songjiang.
The increase in the number of schools is certainly due to the desire to cultivate more administrative officials, but another reason is checks and balances.
Zuo Mengeng knew very well that if everyone in a system comes from the same place, then it will naturally become intricate and confusing before long.
At that time, the interests will be intertwined and deeply rooted. If you want to govern, it will take more effort.
Now that the administrative school has been increased from one to three, the sources of officials have increased.
They have nothing to do with each other, and because of their different origins, they are likely to conflict with each other, thus achieving a check and balance effect.
In the future, the number of administrative colleges will continue to increase, enriching the source of officials.
Nowadays, these three administrative schools have trained a large number of officials, and there are even many people waiting to be assigned positions.
However, the Xia Kingdom did not continue to expand after eight years of Chongzhen, which caused the arrangements of these officials to stagnate.
Now I can be transferred to North Korea to take charge of the work here and gain experience. At the same time, I can help North Korea establish its local administrative system. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
His proposal was unanimously approved by Wang Yun, Jin Shangxian, Shen Jiyuan, Song Shilie and others.
Through the cooperation of spring plowing work, North Korean officials have seen the power of Xia's administrative system.
Apart from anything else, the land statistics data alone are a treasure for North Korean officials.
With their own strength alone, they will not be able to obtain such accurate data in another hundred years.
And these things play a great role in governance.
The administrative efficiency of Xia State was even more astonishing.
Suddenly, before May, the remedial work for spring plowing was completed, giving Korean people everywhere hope to survive.
Kim Sang-heon and others thought to themselves that it would be absolutely impossible to accomplish it on their own terms.
Excellent facts are in front of us, and even North Korean officials, no matter how conservative they are, know they have to learn.
"The imperial court officially activated Yang Sichang and prepared to take action against the northwest bandits. Yang Sichang proposed a strategy of four righteousnesses and six corners, and a network of ten sides. The only problem was the need to increase military pay by 2.8 million taels. As expected of Emperor Chongzhen, another
They took action against the poor people."
Guo Ting reported to Zuo Menggeng the domestic situation, the most important of which was the court's trends.
For ten years since the outbreak of the peasant uprising, Yang Sichang was the only official to propose to Chongzhen an overall strategy to suppress bandits.
His approach was greatly recognized by Chongzhen.
Chongzhen returned to his old ways and gave Yang Sichang great power.
The only thing that embarrassed Chongzhen was that Yang Sichang proposed that to implement his strategy, a full military expenditure of 2.8 million taels of silver would be needed.
Such a large sum of money made Chongzhen very anxious.
The treasury is already empty, so it is naturally impossible to draw it out.
He still had some money in his internal funds, but it was not enough to spend it.
He was extremely unwilling to attack his relatives and reduce the treatment of the clan.
No one should suffer, but one should not suffer one’s own family!
then what should we do?
I have no choice but to suffer for the common people.
In this April, Chongzhen officially issued an edict to increase wages.
[The rogue bandits are spreading, and the lives of the people are in dire straits. Without gathering troops to suppress them, the thieves cannot be eliminated quickly. Our people will suffer temporarily for a year, and this is a serious problem. I am worried about the fourth, if I have no choice, I have to worry about the company and do not do it well. The company only
If you lose one point, the poor people will be deprived several times. Make a big announcement to show that the imperial court is dedicated to eliminating thieves for the people.】
Seeing the information sent by Guo Ting, Zuo Mengeng was furious.
"This dog emperor knows everything, but he just likes to harm the people and is unwilling to wrong his own relatives. The people of the world deserved to rebel against him."
Just scolding him was not enough. Zuo Menggeng had someone prepare pen and paper and personally wrote a "Refutation of Chongzhen's Hypocritical Love".
"Send this article back to Shandong, print more copies, and distribute it to all parts of the world."
Although the Xia Kingdom has long been independent and is not a friend to the Ming Dynasty, peace has been maintained between the two sides for a long time.
But this time, Zuo Mengeng fired directly.
"The Fifth Division sent a report. Lou Fu personally led the 19th Regiment and the 20th Regiment to Quanzhou to accept Li Shifang's surrender. At the same time, the 17th Regiment, the 18th Regiment, the Joint Artillery Regiment, and the Engineering Regiment turned around
To the east, we have already attacked Jincheon and Zengpyeong, one step away from Chungju."
"What do you mean by the east finger?"
The actions of the fifth division made Zuo Mengeng very pleased.
In the absence of orders from above, Lou Fu and others did not delay the recovery of Chungcheong Province and Jeolla Province, but began to focus on subsequent operations.
This kind of subjective initiative undoubtedly greatly makes up for the current lack of communication capabilities.
Fu Xinyuan reported immediately.
"Chief of Staff Liu's suggestion is to integrate the 4th and 5th Divisions together and coordinate operations. Immediately attack north and speed up, hoping to deal a certain blow to the Qing coalition forces."
Although they have unified their opinions internally and slowed down the attack speed to facilitate the division of the Korean Peninsula, they cannot just let go of the Qing coalition forces intact. If that is the case, it will be very detrimental to the subsequent strategic deployment.
It is necessary to hurt the Qing coalition forces so that they understand how powerful the Xia army is and never dare to expect to go south again.
Under this purpose, there will inevitably be a big fight between the Xia Dynasty coalition forces and the Qing Dynasty coalition forces.
The commander-in-chief was Liu Yiyuan, and Zuo Menggeng did not want to overstep his authority. Therefore, after understanding the situation, he only gave instructions to the 1st Marine Division.
"The 3rd and 4th Marine Regiments can go out to South Yangzhou and Gapyeong, posing a real threat to Chunchuan. At the same time, pay attention to the direction of Yangping in the south, and avoid being outflanked by the Qing coalition forces at all costs. If you stand here, the Qing coalition forces will be like a blocker.
The throat will be conducive to subsequent operations."
After actual research, Zuo Yong, Tang Wenhuan and others all agreed with Zuo Mengeng's judgment.
The 3rd and 4th Marine Regiments set off from Hanyang, officially kicking off the Battle of Chuncheon.
