Chapter 696: Those who are strong and strong, Dashun!

The imperial robe style used to ascend the throne was not made by Lu Si himself, but by Li Zicheng's ascendance to the throne in Beijing.

Lu Si thought that Li Zicheng's imperial robe looked pretty and fit his aesthetic. He not only had a grandeur but also a spirit when worn, so there was no need to make one alone.

The queen and concubines also have corresponding rules, all of which were decided by Li Zicheng at the time of the founding of the State of Xi'an, and there was no change in general.

Li Zicheng's Dashun regulations under the settlement of Xi'an were almost inherited in the ritual system, except that some official positions in the central and local areas were changed by Lu Si.

Now the State Council has written to various places and abolished the old titles of various official positions in the past. All the newly established official positions shall be subject to the confiscation of the old seals and all the seals shall be further cast.

The newly cast official seal has four levels: talisman, coupon, deed, and seal.

The sixth government of Zhongshun, the Privy Council, the Censorate and the directly affiliated government offices used seals as talismans, such as criminal talismans and military talismans.

Provincial level governors, governors, prosecutors, and equivalent provincial-level institutions (such as canal supervision) are collectively referred to as certificates. The first level of the government is a certificate, and the county and below are seals.

Because Lu Si asked Dashun to "go to the countryside" and various places wanted to imitate the Huaiyang area to build villages and townships, so the seals of the lowest-level villages were called "official seals", that is, village seals, township seals, and county seals.

The emperor's seal was called "Bao". Because Lu Si chose Longwu as the year name, the remaining personnel of Shangbaosi, one of the twenty-four yamen in the Forbidden Ming Dynasty, were ordered to rush to control Lu Si's "Longwu Dabao".

The former "Ji Shou Yongchang" seal and the jade seal seized in Manchuria were abolished and all were put into the treasure house of the palace.

The jade seal in Manchuria was said to be the imperial seal, but Lu Si asked too many people and said it was not, so he threw it into the warehouse.

When Gao Ying had almost the same measurement, the old eunuch Wei Liangchen came over and reported, "Your Majesty, Lord Lu of the Privy Council is asking for a visit."

Lu Si hurriedly said, "He came just right, please pass it quickly."

The palace servants from Guangyuan had already measured his clothes. When they saw that the master had something to do, they planned to leave the palace, but Lu Si asked him to stay because Prince Guangyuan had to participate in the next thing.

It's about the army's reorganization.

Lu Bizhou received an imperial edict from Beijing five days ago and handed over the Henan affairs at hand with Yuan Zongdi, Mianhou, and quickly entered Beijing.

After he rushed to Beijing, he received the appointment of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, who was a first-rank senior official, and the Privy Council was the institution in charge of Dashun's military. Therefore, Lu Bizhou was the actual Minister of War of Dashun.

Many responsibilities and powers in the Soldiers Government have been transferred to the Privy Council, which is probably the Soldiers Council responsible for military personnel and military mobilization affairs, while the Soldiers Government is responsible for military construction, weapons and equipment, logistics and supplies affairs.

The Privy Council’s yamen is located in the former Ming Dynasty’s Five Army Governor’s Office.

The Privy Council is currently vacant, mainly because there are no suitable candidates. After all, this position is equivalent to the Chief of Staff of Lu Si in his previous life. He must be both civil and military, and have excellent command ability to hold it. At present, no one is qualified for this position, whether it is the Shun Army or the Huai Army.

Deep in his heart, Lu Si wanted to be his great-sustained Privy Councilor, who was Sun Kewang of the Western Army camp.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xianzhong is still alive, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo cannot turn to Dashun. It can be foreseen that both sides will fight fiercely at most one year.

At that time, even if Lu Si cherishes his talents again, he intends to collect Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu, the "Four Little Kings" will be powerless.

"I wanted to see you yesterday, but you just came here and always asked you to rest for a night. Isn't there a saying that the emperor is not worthy of Eight Bingmei? Then I, the governor, cannot let someone rest."

Lu Si signaled Guangyuan to bring a stool to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, which was almost exactly the same as when he met the Henan Jiedushi in Huai'an.

Lu Bizhou hurriedly thanked the governor, but his mentality was completely different from when he met with the Marquis of Huaiyin. He was even more moved. He did not expect that the Huaiyang farmer's family who watched rapeseed with him had now become the emperor who created Dashun again. It is really unpredictable.

"Have you been to the Privy Council? All the things that should be handed over to you in Jiaohou have been handed over?" Lu Si threw cigarettes at Lu Bizhou, but the latter couldn't smoke.

Jia Hanfu had always served as the military officer of the camp, and he was in charge of many affairs in the Huai Army and the Shun Army. Now he is the Minister of the Military Government and wants to transfer the affairs of the Central Military Affairs Office to the Privy Council.

"I have handed over to Mr. Jia, and I have also seen some things." Lu Bizhou sat upright, not because he did this on purpose, but because he has always been like this, which means that he is upright in his body and doing things right.

Lu Si nodded and said, "Then please ask our Deputy Privy Councilor of Dashun to tell me how many abilities I, the Chuangwang, now have."

After saying that, he glanced at Gao Ying. Gao Ying hurriedly took a few palace servants to leave the hall.

Lu Bizhou noticed that a plaque was hung on the upper side of the back of the hall, with the four words "The World is the Lord".

"I have returned to the governor's country and have sorted it out, and now we have garrisoned 400,000 troops in various places in Dashun."

"Four hundred thousand?"

This number surprised Lu Si and his nephew Guangyuan, and both uncle and nephew were surprised why there were so many.

Lu Si was really surprised. He always thought that he had a maximum of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, but unexpectedly, he reached 400,000.

What is this concept?

If the Southern Ming army and Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army are added together, it may not be able to reach this number. Not to mention the Ajige tribe who is going to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but to say that the most powerful Huaixi Fengyang Group in the Southern Ming side will not exceed 40,000 people.

The former Zuo Liangyu Group, which is now commanded by Zuo Menggeng, is known as a 200,000 army, but if there is a 50,000 army that can fight, it will be overwhelming.

And these two families already account for two-thirds of the strength of the Southern Ming army.

The same is true for Zhang Xianzhong. When he left Sichuan, he claimed to be 200,000. The information given by Ma Ke and He Zhen showed that at most 70,000 or 80,000 can be called elite.

But Dashun suddenly saw 400,000!

Where did so many troops come from?

Lu Si was surprised.

Lu Bizhou reported one by one now.

The original Huai Army had eight towns, and each town had a fixed quota of more than 10,000 troops, which was more than 80,000. However, the phenomenon of over-grouping in each town was serious. For example, the third town in Tongtai actually had nearly 30,000 soldiers, including the water camp, and the fourth town in Yangzhou had more than 20,000 troops. Including Xuzhou garrisons, there were as many as 60,000 troops in Jiangbei Province alone.

"The first town has more than 5,000 units, the second town has collected more than 6,000 green camps and the eight banners of the Han army. The fifth town has collected the Henan soldiers and the soldiers of Dingnanhou in Henan. Now there are more than 20,000 people. The sixth town has the most serious units, and has captured a large number of green camp soldiers and captured many young and strong people in the northern Zhili area. Now there are at least 40,000 people. The seventh town has more than 16,000 troops in the camp, and the eighth town has acquired the Qing army in the city in Tianjin."

Lu Bizhou had a clear idea. After calculating the accounts, there were as many as 200,000 soldiers and horses as soon as the Huai Army arrived in the Eight Towns.

In addition, there are 20,000 three established troops in Pao Town, including the three types of heavy armor and cavalry. The Yulin Imperial Army has been expanded and adapted from the original flag-plaque personal soldiers, and the newly surrendered Geng Zhongming's troops have more than 6,000.
