Chapter One Hundred and Twenty The Record of the Invention
When the generals of the Liberation Army saw this, Li Guangyuan and Shi Yongxin took the lead and spoke together.
"We are all willing to follow the example of the general and cut off our will!"
"If you don't return to the Central Plains, you will never grow your hair!"
"If you don't return to the Central Plains, you will never grow your hair!"
While talking, they all took out their sabers and cut off their hair.
Hair fell to the ground, and some people even accidentally hurt their scalps, bleeding profusely, but no one cared.
When the civil servants saw this scene, they were unwilling to do anything to their hair and try to cut it off.
But the atmosphere was so heightened that Zhu Hongyu took the lead in cutting his own hair. It would be unjustifiable if they didn't.
After hesitating for a moment, the civil servants also took action and cut off their own hair.
Soon, the entire meeting hall turned into a monk hall.
Zhu Hongyu glanced around and couldn't help but laughed.
"The great cause of China's rejuvenation rests on our shoulders!"
The generals of the Liberation Army also laughed together.
In an instant, the hall was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After everyone had laughed together, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.
“It’s been almost half a year since the Liberation Army was established!”
"But the Liberation Army is just a military organization and has no jurisdiction over local civil affairs, and it is unfair to manage local areas."
"My general is determined to establish a military government of the Liberation Army. I will appoint myself as the governor of the military government, and have two departments of internal affairs and military affairs under it, which will have jurisdiction over civil affairs and military affairs respectively."
Zhu Hongyu announced the establishment of a military government and proposed the idea of dividing civil and military rule.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hongyu announced the names of the main officials of the Internal Affairs and Military Affairs Departments.
The highly qualified Chen Wenbin was appointed as the director of the Internal Affairs Department, and the heads of various departments under his jurisdiction were appointed by Chinese who had joined the Liberation Army.
Old Liu Tou, who was in charge of the weapons workshop, was appointed as the chief of the industrial section, Liu Tongwen was appointed as the chief of the education section, Liu Li was appointed as the chief of the commercial section, Ye Guang was appointed as the chief of the agricultural section, and Liu Daihua was appointed as the chief of the taxation section...
As for the Military Affairs Department, Shi Yongxin serves as the director, and each department has recruited talents who can read and write from the military to fill the positions.
Due to the lack of sufficient talents, the method of appointing officials like the Liberation Army has huge drawbacks.
But for now, we can only make arrangements like this!
Ignore the drawbacks, whether they are good or not. At the very least, we must first put up the airs of the military government.
After Zhu Hongyu had arranged the appointment of officials, the next most important thing was the opening ceremony of the military government.
Zhu Hongyu's idea was that the house opening ceremony would coincide with his wedding!
By the way, he also wanted to take this opportunity to hold a grand military parade and pull out the Liberation Army who had undergone training during this period to practice.
Things are very complicated and it will probably take some time to get everything ready!
…
After the meeting, officials from both the military and political parties of the Liberation Army returned to their homes with different moods.
After Liu Tongwen returned home, he sat on the Arhat bed with the support of his son, touched his pricked scalp, and said with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I escaped from the Central Plains to Nanyang and still couldn't keep my hair!"
Liu Li seemed unconcerned.
"My son doesn't think it's anything!"
"Our general has great ambitions, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a plan!"
"It is more worthwhile to follow such a general who is determined to restore the Central Plains and fight back to the Central Plains in the future than to waste his life in this barbaric land of Southeast Asia."
Liu Tongwen sighed and said.
"I am getting old. I am afraid that I will never see the day when the Central Plains will be restored and the Han family will rise again."
"If I pass away in the future, you hozen should remember to bury me back to the Central Plains!"
Liu Li bowed and said.
"My son takes command!"
"But why did father say that? My father is still in good health. He will definitely be able to see the day when the Central Plains is restored and the Han family is rejuvenated."
Liu Tongwen waved his hand and said.
"I hope so, I hope so!"
But when he said this, Liu Tongwen couldn't help but feel worried in his heart.
The Ming Dynasty's cabinet, the Five Military Governor's Office, and the political structure of the six ministries were split into two departments: internal affairs and military affairs by Zhu Hongyu without any scruples.
The two offices have different departments under their jurisdiction and have different powers and responsibilities!
The current official system of the Liberation Army has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to have changed drastically!
As a traditional scholar-official, Liu Tongwen hated all changes that were not under his control.
However, the Liberation Army is now under Zhu Hongyu's command, and all actions are in accordance with Zhu Hongyu's wishes.
He was a scholar who had just joined the army. Although he was appointed as the head of the Education Section, he was in charge of examinations, education and other national affairs.
But he is not qualified to dictate the major policies of the Liberation Army!
Thinking of this, Liu Tongwen recalled what Zhu Hongyu had given him to prepare for the official recruitment examination.
The official recruitment examination is, to put it bluntly, the imperial examination!
However, the Imperial Examination of the Liberation Army did not test the Four Books and Five Classics, nor did it test eight-legged essays. Instead, it tested the knowledge of applying classics to the world, and relied on the strategies of officials and herdsmen...
It can be said that, apart from the examination system itself, the method of recruiting officials now implemented by the Liberation Army has nothing to do with the imperial examination.
It can be seen from this that Zhu Hongyu did not care at all about the ancestral family law left by his ancestors.
Just change it!
However, at the same time, Liu Tongwen was also thinking deeply in his heart. Now the world is in chaos and has fallen to the barbarians. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers have been trampled by the barbarians' iron hoofs.
Perhaps only such a hero who dares to change and innovate can save the world, drive out the Tartars, and restore China, right?
Although the current Liberation Army bears the name of the Ming Dynasty, in essence it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, the Liberation Army is just a brand-new regime under the banner of the Ming Dynasty!
Compared with the regimes such as Hongguang Longwu Yongli and other regimes in the late Ming Dynasty, which had constant party disputes, only focused on internal fighting and ignored external enemies, and were full of twilight.
Now the Liberation Army can make people feel a vigorous and upward energy from the inside out!
Perhaps only such a new regime, which is full of vigor and vitality from top to bottom, can be capable of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Tongwen sighed and started busy with the things Zhu Hongyu had assigned him.
Although Liu Tongwen disagrees with Zhu Hongyu's drastic reforms, this does not mean that he will cause trouble for Zhu Hongyu.
Because, he really wanted to see in his lifetime the scene of Wang Shi going north, Hulu fleeing north, and the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag flying again on the land of the Central Plains!
He hoped that when he died, he could lie under the big willow tree at the entrance of his hometown.
Silently watching the wheat seedlings fluttering in the wind in the fields in the distance, watching the farmers busy in the fields, watching the young children playing at the entrance of the village, watching the chickens and dogs smelling each other across the fields.
I listened to the sound of Lang Lang reading and the familiar local accent, and then I breathed my last breath with satisfaction!
Rather than lying on the hospital bed in Luzon, holding his son's hand, and imitating what Lu Fangweng said, Wang Shibei fixed the day of the Central Plains, and he never forgot to tell Naiweng during family sacrifices!
He didn't want to experience the despair and misery that Lu Fangweng felt when he died!
