After leaving the North Prison, Chongzhen went straight to the Huangji Hall.
Because there is still a court meeting today, there are two major issues that need to be discussed at today's court meeting, including the fact that all cultivated land in the country, except for the land rewarded by soldiers and soldiers, must receive grain as one.
In addition, after the prince reaches the age of fifteen, he must enter the Nanjian to study, and he must also write down the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty.
As for the clan, I will not consider it for now, because the past clan has actually been deposed and the new clan has not yet been formed, so there is no rush.
When Chongzhen brought Zhu Cihong and Lu Jiude to the Huangji Hall, all the civil servants and military officials had already arrived. After the ceremony, the monarchs and ministers directly entered the voting process.
The voting took place in a completely open and transparent process.
First, the big Han general with a loud voice read out the matters to be voted on, and then voted directly with his feet.
"The first thing to vote on is that everything illuminated by the sun and the moon is Mingtu. All cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty, except for the land rewarded by the soldiers, the rest will be levied according to the official land quota of five liters, three combined and five scoops per mu, regardless of the vassal, clan, or emperor.
Relatives and relatives of the country, whether officials, gentry, or martyrs who have made meritorious service to the country, all need to pay for the food together. Supporters please come forward."
The shouts of the Han generals were heard from inside the palace to outside the palace, and then passed from level to level of the three-level cloud platform.
Zhang Shenyan and Ma Mingluo were the first to come out, followed closely by Meng Zhaoxiang and other three cabinet elders, Fan Zhongjie and other six ministers, and Chen Zilong and other departments from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out one after another.
After a while, most of the civil and military officials came out and stood in the middle.
The remaining civil servants and military officials who had not moved, such as Wu Jinxi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hesitated for a moment and then followed the procession and stood in the middle of the main hall or the three-story cloud platform.
The little eunuch under the cloud platform reported all the way to Lu Jiude.
Lu Jiude excitedly reported to Chongzhen: "Long live my Lord, all the civil and military officials support this proposal."
"Very good, unanimously approved." Chongzhen nodded happily and said, "Let's write this proposal into the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty."
Lu Jiude immediately turned to face the ministers and announced in a loud voice: "On June 6, the 23rd year of Chongzhen, the great dynasty meeting decided to integrate the country's cultivated land into grains. It was unanimously passed and entered into the fourth volume of the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty.
Follow it unswervingly and admire this!"
The Hanlin official in charge of recording quickly picked up his brush and recorded it in the record.
"Vote on the second matter, when the prince comes of age..."
…
At the same time in Xi'an.
"Father, Zhang Xianzhong sent an envoy to ask for help!" Li Shuangxi said.
Li Zicheng had one queen and dozens of concubines, but nothing came of it.
So until now, Li Shuangxi's crown prince position is rock solid.
"What?" Li Zicheng asked with a frown, "Did the Ming army attack Zhang Xianzhong?"
"Yes." Li Shuangxi said, "Zhang Xianzhong's letter stated that as early as more than two months ago, the Ming army split into two groups and launched a large-scale attack on Chengdu and Shunqing Mansion."
"The troops are divided into two groups?" Li Zicheng asked again, "Which groups are they?"
Li Shuangxi replied: "On the way, Qin Liangyu, the governor of Huguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, led the 100,000 soldiers from Huguang Town to the north of the Xiajiang River. He is currently confronting Zhang Xianzhong's third son Zhang Nengxiu and fourth son Zhang Nengqi in Pengzhou of Shunqing Prefecture.
, the other route was led by General Li Xiangjun, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, who led 100,000 troops from Sichuan Town up the Yangtze River from Jiading Prefecture. They were currently locked in a stalemate with Zhang Xianzhong's second son, Zhang Dingguo, near Xinjin, and were only a stone's throw away from Chengdu.
.”
"That's it." Li Zicheng nodded, "Old Zhang is panicking."
Li Shuangxi hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard that since the disaster of Yang Zhan, the eight kings have handed over all the government affairs to Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin, and they are hiding in the Shu Palace every day, so the Japanese army is no longer what it used to be.
Comparatively, the Ming army is now at its peak, so it makes sense that the Daxi army cannot defeat the Ming army."
Li Zicheng hummed slightly and then said: "It just so happened that the general Hou and the right military advisor also returned to Xi'an. You should quickly send someone to invite them, the senior military advisor, and the left military advisor to come to the palace to discuss matters."
Li Shuangxi responded: "My son, I accept the decree."
…
After the great court meeting, Chongzhen came to Wuying Hall again.
Wuying Hall and the row of corridors in front of the hall have now been turned into office rooms for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and its affiliated departments. Wuying Hall is equivalent to a combat hall and conference room.
In the center of Wuying Hall, a Sichuan sand table has been set up.
What is displayed on the sand table is the combat situation of Qin Liangyu and Li Xiangjun's armies.
Of course, Qin Liangyu and Li Xiangjun are only nominal coaches. The real coaches are Lu Xiangtong, commander of the 3rd Division, and Hua Xia, commander of the 5th Division.
The military plan for Zhang Xianzhong was decided years ago.
Shortly after the Battle of Baliqiao, Chongzhen regularized the Ming army. Most of the 270,000 new troops were separated from the recruits and converted into Beizhizhen soldiers. The remaining ones still retained the status of recruits and were converted into cavalry, but they could no longer
Soon, they will gradually turn into the troops of Horqin, Chahar and Khalkha, etc., and guard Mongolia.
Then, five divisions were formed based on the Beizhi, Nanzhi, Huguang, Yunnan and Sichuan troops.
Normally, these five divisions only have shelf divisions, which have about 4,500 officers and non-commissioned officers.
Originally, the number of non-commissioned officers was not enough to form 5 shelf divisions, but fortunately at the end of last year, the second batch of 10,000 Chinese students from the Southern Prison had graduated after three years, and 6,000 of them were assigned to the headquarters.
With these 6,000 newly graduated non-commissioned officers, we finally set up 4 shelf divisions.
Now, except for Wang Fuzhi's 4th Division, the other four shelf divisions have all been set up.
Immediately afterwards, the 2nd Division followed Chongzhen to the Japanese state, the 3rd Division and the 5th Division launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against Zhang Xianzhong, while the 1st Division stayed behind in the capital and was responsible for protecting the safety of Beizhi, the capital.
Of course, one thing must be explained.
The five towns can also carry out combat missions independently.
The morale of these soldiers is very high, and their desire to fight is very strong.
For example, the Nanzhi Zhentai stationed in Xuzhou could, under the command of Du Yinxi, the governor of Nanzhi, move into northern Henan or western Henan, and even launch an offensive when necessary.
Another example is that the two armies besieging Zhang Xianzhong at this time, in addition to Lu Xiangtong's 3rd Division and Huaxia's 5th Division, there were also 100,000 Huguang Town soldiers led by Qin Liangyu and 100,000 Sichuan Eastern native soldiers led by Li Xiangjun.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, the Ming army that surrounded and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong had 240,000 people, not just two divisions.
Because of this, Zhang Xianzhong felt the pressure and shamelessly asked Li Zicheng for help.
After seeing the sand table, Chongzhen was a little surprised: "The east and west armies didn't fight very well?"
"It is indeed not going well." Xu Yingwei picked up the long wooden pole and pointed at the sand table and said, "On the east road, Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi each led 50,000 puppet Western troops, guarding Pengzhou City and Fenghuang Ridge respectively, and they were at each other's side.
The situation was extremely difficult, especially since Zhang Nengqi had built a strong fortress on Fenghuang Ridge in advance and placed cannons at various strategic points, making it extremely difficult to attack from above."
"Phoenix Ridge?" Chongzhen laughed dumbly. If he remembered correctly, in another time and space, Zhang Xianzhong should have been shot to death by Yabulan in Phoenix Ridge two years ago.
At that moment, Chongzhen asked again: "Is Zhang Xianzhong in Phoenix Ridge?"
"Zhang Xianzhong is said to have fled to Langzhong." The long wooden pole in Xu Yingwei's hand pointed to Xinjin County, south of Chengdu, "As for the West Road, the West Road is not actually dangerous to defend, but the puppet Western Army general Zhang Dingguo who guards the West Road is more dangerous than
Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi were much more difficult to deal with. The native soldiers from eastern Sichuan led by Concubine Li fought fiercely with them for nearly two months without making any progress."
"Where is Huaxia?" Chongzhen asked with a frown, "Is his 5th Division watching the show?"
Xu Yingwei said: "Hua Xia led the 5th Division back to Chishui (this Chishui is not that Chishui) to the north, trying to sneak attack Chengdu from the flank and cut off Zhang Dingguo's retreat. However, they were ambushed by the puppet Western Army in Longquan Town, with nearly a thousand casualties!"
"So, China's detour was predicted by the puppet Western Army?" Chongzhen asked with a frown.
"It must have been discovered." Xu Yingwei nodded, "otherwise, such a coincidence would not have happened."
Chongzhen said in his heart that he was indeed Li Dingguo, and the reputation of the Nanming God of War was not just blown away.
It is a pity that Li Dingguo and Han Xin are the same type of people. They have full military talents but extremely poor political talents. Therefore, as long as Zhang Xianzhong does not die, it is impossible to recruit Li Dingguo to succeed.
Xu Yingwei still put forward this suggestion: "Your Majesty, I carefully read the reports of Concubine Li and the 5th Division, and found that Zhang Dingguo is very capable. It is a pity to stay in the puppet Western Army. Why not instigate him to rebel? Such a puppet Western Army
A flip of the hand can pacify the situation, and the Ming Dynasty can also have one more capable general. It can be said to be the best of both worlds."
"Where is the Tang newspaper?" Chongzhen suddenly felt a little curious.
Let's see what tricks Li Dingguo played in Xinjin County?
Xu Yingwei moved his hand, and a newly assigned second-term student from the South Prison immediately handed over several reports.
While flipping through the Tang newspaper, Chongzhen asked casually: "You just graduated this year? What's your name?"
The second-term student was so excited that his breathing began to become rapid, and he replied: "Your Majesty, the student's name is Mao Chengdou."
"Mao Chengdou?" Chongzhen's hand movements paused slightly, and then returned to the original state. He was actually Mao Wenlong's son.
Chongzhen remembered that Mao Chengdou was considered a man. After the Manchus took over the Central Plains, Mao Wenlong's old subordinates such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi recommended Mao Chengdou to serve as an official many times, but they were all rejected. Mao Chengdou even changed his name to Mao Yu. , hiding in the mountains to live in seclusion, to show his determination to never clear up everything.
On the contrary, Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Wenbi joined the Eight Banners Han Army.
At that moment, Chongzhen gave a few words of encouragement: "Work hard and don't let your father's reputation fall."
But that's it. Although Mao Wenlong died unjustly, he still had a way to die.
Therefore, Mao Chengdou did not want to use his kindness. If Mao Chengdou wanted to get ahead, he could only rely on his own ability and go to the battlefield to fight with swords and guns.
Chongzhen was more concerned about Li Dingguo now.
Let’s take a look, how many kilograms does the legendary Nanming God of War weigh?
The world line of this world has been changed beyond recognition by him, and it has even entered the firearms era from the cold weapon era. Will Li Dingguo still have the opportunity to show off his military talent?
