Chapter 128: The Governor's Office, the Prime Minister's Office

Liu Tichun and others were led to the meeting hall. Looking at the layout of the hall, they couldn't help but look at each other in amazement.

There is a long table with more than a dozen chairs on both sides. The one in the middle must be where His Highness is sitting. On the wall opposite is a large map, which seems to have not been finished yet. It is relatively simple.

"My lords, please take a seat, Wen left and Wu right, there is His Highness's seat." Yuan Dongbao extended his hand to signal and explained: "His Highness said that this will be the rules for future discussions. It is too formal and he doesn't like it."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Since Your Highness is so courteous, we should be respectful rather than obey your orders. We must not let down His Highness." Liu Tichun chuckled, walked to the first seat on the right and sat down.

Wang Rongqi and other generals hesitated for a moment, then took their seats one by one below Liu Tichun according to their official positions.

Hong Yu'ao, Jiang Shangying and Zhang Gongjiao smiled at each other and walked to the long table to sit down.

"His Royal Highness still has something to explain." Yuan Dongbao said again: "In normal discussions, there is no need to pay homage with great ceremony, regular courtesy is enough."

Ancient etiquette was relatively strict and complicated, and was usually divided into formal etiquette and ordinary etiquette.

Proper etiquette includes kneeling and bowing (kowtowing to the ground and staying for a period of time), bowing (kowtowing when it touches the ground), and empty hands (kowtowing without touching the ground);

When others asked, Yungui continued to explain: "It is the established battle plan to contain the Qing army in Xingshan and try to drain the guard forces in the Huguang area. You must be stationed in Chongqing. I am afraid that the Qing army will change its deployment and switch to

Retreat and attack eastern Sichuan."

Liu Tichunqing took a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I am so grateful for treating you so courteously. However, it is in harmony with etiquette, and if things go on like this..."

Yunnan and Guizhou are now very wary of Hong Yu'ao in Yanheng, but they are most worried about the Qing troops in Gansu, Shaanxi and Huguang.

Ta Tianbao and Wang Rong Banner troops are stationed in Tunwan County and Yunyang, guarding Chongqing and serving as the western flank barrier of the Eight Gorges Military Region.

It is certain that Hong Yu'ao sent troops to retreat, but the route is basically uncertain. This situation stretches from Guiyang, Zunyi, Tongzi, Qijiang, and approaches Chongqing.

Moreover, when the Qing army wanted to enter Sichuan from Guizhou, it also faced the same difficulties in frontline logistics.

"The last general (minor minister) will see you in the palace, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand thousand years old." Wu Sangui and others hurriedly got up, bowed their hands and paid homage.

Yungui pressed his hand upwards and said: "During the war, everything should be frugal. Moreover, the current situation, red tape, is also appropriate for the time. Just like you, how can you not be treated as a prince and a junior member."

Wu Sangui seemed to be thinking nothing, and pursed his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Therefore, although Yunnan and Guizhou are full of vigilance, they are just in case, and are not too worried about the Qing troops in Huangli and Li provinces.

Although Chengdu is well-defended, the road from Chongqing to Chengdu is sparsely populated and full of thorns, and the land route about 800 miles away is quite difficult.

"No ceremony, no ceremony." Yungui smiled and raised his hand, walked to the main seat and looked left and right, seemingly nodded with satisfaction, then sat back in the chair and said warmly: "Everyone, please sit down!"

Wu Sangui nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to lure the enemy deeper, give full play to the inside advantage, and annihilate the invading Qing army?"

After a pause, I added: "Fortunately, there is no obstruction by the Yangtze River. As long as the navy is loyal enough, it can deter the Qing army. Moreover, lengthening the supply line of the Qing army will also help your army to counterattack."

In the Battle of Wushan, the small Qing troops in Yongning, Zunyi, Chongkui, Jianchang and other towns that Li Guoying followed were annihilated, which resulted in the defenses in Qichuan being ineffective. From the surface, it was indeed a very bad opportunity.

"You will write a letter to Duke Linguo soon, so that I can also create momentum and attract the attention of the Qing army. If you are interested, you may even go to Xingshan."

In the eighth year of Kangxi's reign, there was no water in Guizhou, and Xi'an Kun rebelled. In the seventh year of Kangxi's reign, there was no rebellion by Wang Yaozu, the chieftain of Yidong, Yunnan, and so on. In the seventh year of Kangxi's reign, there was no rebellion. It is also said that Hong Yu'ao should have taken action in the year before next year.

Yunnan and Guizhou still remember that although Hong Yu'ao occupied the two provinces of Huang and Li, they were not completely settled.

Yungui waved his hand and said with a smile: "You just want to leave Chongqing, and they will spread the word that you have gone to Xingshan to take charge, beat the four banned flags, and then loot grain and grass supplies from Huguang."

Yungui means gradually retreating westward, cutting down trees to open roads, setting up inns, building prefectures and counties along the way, resettling people to farm, and retreating along the Xiaozu, Anyue, Lezhi, Jianyang, and Chengdu roads in one to two years.

Chengdu.

The functions of the newly built small governor's office include army training, military garrison, garrison, mobilization for operations, as well as promotion, replacement, rewards and punishments of military attachés.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the Hu Weiyong case occurred, Zhongshu Province was abolished, and the Little Governor's Office was changed to the Seventh Army Governor's Office. Military powers were separated, with the power of commanding troops returning to the Governor's Office, and the power of deploying troops to the Ministry of War.

There must be enough troops, but who wants to occupy less territory and create a small enough space for rush. But the reality is very skinny, how can the ideal dare to be full?

The main purpose of establishing the Little Governor's Office was that Taizu Zhu Sisi wanted to achieve more ineffective control of military power through that kind of restructuring.

A small governor's office was to be established, consisting of Yanheng, Yanhengshan, Li Laiheng, Wang Guangxing, and Dang Shousu. When Yunnan and Guizhou were in power, Wu Sangui took the lead in easing military affairs.

Of course Wu Sangui knew about those historical events, but since the palace was afraid and the Ming army was indeed strong enough to fortify everywhere, he did not say anything.

"Eight or seven months ago, if the situation was unexpected, your army would have launched a small operation and would have dispatched about 20,000 troops."

Since the forehead is not bright yet, let's serve as a beacon of instruction for the Qing army, lead the Qing government by the nose, and fall into the established battle plan.

Common etiquette includes clasping hands (similar to bowing, subordinates to superiors), cupping hands (equal level), and salutes (bowing, superiors to subordinates).

Obviously, taking the water route is the fastest route, but it requires further survey and trial navigation. However, taking Chengdu is not the first priority, and we will have to retreat soon.

Yungui smiled bitterly and said: "The retreat is too deep in Tongzi. It is difficult to hold on with more troops. With fewer troops, it is very easy to transport grain and grass supplies. With the current strength of your army, shrinking the defense is still avoidable."<

The military deployment and institutional setup have been basically determined. Yunnan and Guizhou specifically warned that from now on, half of the army will be involved in reclaiming farmland and strive to complete it within two to eight months.

I spread out the materials I brought, sorted out my thoughts, raised my head, scanned the crowd, and said loudly: "Today we mainly discuss the composition of the military and political institutions and clarify their respective tasks. Some policies and measures must also be implemented as soon as possible..."

The guards served the tea, and everyone was surprised, but they felt that the casual discussion was slightly different from the solemn and solemn court meeting we imagined.

"Yes, it's the humble minister who is ignorant." Liu Tichun held his head high and sat down.

Yanheng felt that according to his status, civil servants should be called Shangguan, but he was too careful to correct him.

The only other road is to go up to Yibin along the Yangtze River, then take the Minjiang River, pass through Jiazhou, Leshan, Meishan, and go straight to the Four Eyes Bridge in Chengdu.

"The military has established a gendarmerie, which is affiliated with the Military Justice Department and is responsible for maintaining military discipline and ensuring the execution of orders. Criminal acts committed by civilians are also managed by the gendarmerie."

As for entering Sichuan from Yunnan, southern Sichuan is like a white land, which will bring minimal pressure to frontline transportation, and Hong Yu'ao will probably withdraw from there.

"Soldiers fighting for the country, bleeding and sacrificing their lives, should be rewarded and given preferential treatment, which shows that they are respected officials; if they have not committed any illegal crime, active duty soldiers will be tried and punished by the military court, and the local government has the right to deal with it..."

Nanshan is located in the Nan'an District of Chongqing in the previous life, on the south bank of the Yangtze River at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River, just across the river from Chongqing.

"If the Duke of Jing can lead his army later, he will ask me to station in Qijiang as a shield to the east of Chongqing." Yungui pondered for a while, wondering if Bad Xiang was sure, and then added: "Maybe you can ask me for my opinion on where I want to station.

Land?"

Eight years before Hongwu, with the retreat of the unification of heaven, the military chiefs of the Zhongshu Province, which integrated military and political affairs during the war, were transferred to the Little Governor's Mansion, and the military generals serving in the Zhongshu Province were also gradually transferred to the Little Governor's Mansion.

Because this place was a scenic spot in the previous life, and now there are only one or two towns with a small population.

Wu Sangui pondered for a while and said: "Although Qijiang is a barrier to the east of Chongqing, it is very dangerous and can be defended. If the palace is worried about the retreat of the Qing army in Guizhou, the general thinks that they can retreat to Tongzi, Bapo, Hongguan and Shitaiguan.

They are all dangerous places."

Yungui glanced at everyone and said: "Today's work has been arranged badly. They just have to do it and ask for instructions and reports sooner or later. Besides, they are far away and the exchange of letters is also very slow."

Yunnan and Guizhou have not yet arranged for the craftsmen captured with the army from Yiling, Wushan and other places to be here. They can only wait for the arrival of Xingshan craftsmen before production can begin.

The Little Dudu's Mansion was founded by Taizu Zhu Sisi, and later became the Privy Council. After continuous improvement and adjustment, it laid the foundation for the Dudu's Mansion-Dusi-Weisuo system.

The time was short, and amid the announcement from the guard at the door, Yanheng stepped back. His face was full of spring breeze, and he was smiling broadly.

"Your Majesty, who has a body of thousands of dollars, should be based in Chongqing." Liu Tichun hurriedly gave advice.

Yungui flipped through the outline of small things he had drawn up and said: "In order to cooperate with this operation, starting from tomorrow, you will leave Chongqing and go to Nanshan to guide and supervise the craftsmen to speed up the production of weapons and ammunition."

Because, within the group at that time, Shao Rong and other leading generals who had no certain centrifugal force made Zhu Sisi very affectionate.

The military garrison is temporarily divided into eight military regions: Sichuan East, Baxia, and Xingshan. They are directly responsible for Yan Hengshan, Yuan Zongdi, and Li Laiheng, and their deputies are Dang Shousu, Ma Tengyun, and Hao Yaoqi.

There is no shortage of cultivated land around Chongqing and in the newly occupied territories, which means the army will retreat slowly from Chengdu.

"The retreat to Chengdu has been temporarily stopped. It is too far away and there is no suspicion that your army will be divided. If the Qing army retreats from Baoning, Guanxian, Mianzhu, Shifang, Hanzhou, Jianzhou and other places to attack Chengdu, it will be difficult for your army to attack Chengdu."

Reinforcements."

Yungui smiled helplessly and said: "I don't have that idea, but it is also forced by the situation, and the troops dare not gather too much."
