When it was lightly dawn, Liu Jun woke up and got up.

It is said that a small separation is better than a newlywed. He and his wife have been separated for more than a year. Last night, it should have been like a paint, but Liu Jun's injuries have not yet healed. Last night, Xiaohu was a little unacceptable to the weather and soil, which made Xueqi very nervous. In the end, the couple took Xiaohu to sleep all night, which was a peaceful night.

After a simple Tai Chi condom was performed in the back garden, Liu Jun took a shower and went to court.

The street was still dark, and Liu Jun did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage. This was also what his brothers under him meant. Many of them did not know the truth about the Tianjin assassination case. They were afraid that Liu Jun would be assassinated again in Beijing, so they strongly opposed him riding a horse, but asked him to ride a carriage.

Although the Beiyang Navy was stationed in Lugou Bridge and Xishan, there were still five hundred personal guards in the city, all of whom were the most loyal nine-headed warriors. The five hundred men were divided into three squads, one followed the guards, one stayed in the mansion, and one left to rest in the mansion.

The carriage that Liu Jun was riding was also specially made. The two horses and four ** carriage is not wrong>Wrong>There are thin iron plates in the carriage that can defend against most raids and assassins. Even Liu Jun's coachman is an extremely not simple person. This coachman is a master who Lu Weizhang found through his own relationship, Chen Yuting from Chenjiagou, Henan.

Liu Jun learned Tai Chi from him in the morning. This boxer, who was just over 40 years old, had a blushing and solemn face, had a beautiful beard, loved to ride a red horse, and was used to using Guandao. When he was young, he had trampled around Shandong, and his voice spread to Qilu, so the world gave him the nickname "Er Guangong".

Chen Yuting, like Liu Jun, was a martial arts student. Later, when the bandits in Henan swept, he became the leader of the county and township soldiers. Later, he took the martial arts exam and because of his outstanding martial arts and superb archery skills, he shot a phoenix to seize the nest. The second arrow squeezed out the first arrow from the bull's eye, and the third arrow squeezed out the second arrow, which won the applause of the whole audience like a bird fighting for a nest. But because he did not bribe the person who beat the drum and rake, he only beat the three drums. This means that the nine arrows are only counted as the three arrows left on the arrow rake.

At that time, Chen Yuting was so angry that he waved his sword to kill the drum officer and became a fugitive.

Lu Weizhang managed the bank, money shop and other businesses for Liu Jun. He accidentally met him who was an escort in an escort agency. He was impressed by his skills and character, so he asked him to be his guard. This time he came to Beijing, and he heard that Liu Jun met an assassin in Tianjin and insisted on giving Chen Yuting to his son-in-law as a guard.

In the end, Liu Jun originally wanted to arrange a military position for Chen Yuting, but unfortunately he had no intention of career, so he was willing to drive a car for Liu Jun to protect himself.

When he went out to court, he brought more than a hundred guards, which was indeed a bit high-profile. However, Liu Jun did not dare to be careless. If anyone did not play according to the routine, Liu Jun would not want jade to touch tiles.

Today is not the day of the court, but all the officials still have to go to the hall to salute the empty chair and then go back to their respective yamen. Liu Jun, Zhou Yanru and other four went to the General Office first, and today there were only four of them. In addition, some newly arrived officials.

The other six ministries and five ministers and other ministers will not come if they are not important meetings.

Since the budget for the request has not been completed, the meeting this morning was just a simple meeting. Everyone greeted each other, had a cup of tea together, and then left and returned to their own yamen.

Liu Jun also left the palace and went directly to Deshengmen located north of the capital.

Desheng Gate is one of the nine cities in the capital. The nine cities in the capital have their own uses. According to the people of the capital, it is called the nine gates and nine cars.

The soldiers are walking in Deshengmen.

According to the stars in the north, Xuanwu belongs to the main force of the swords and soldiers. Therefore, every time he sends troops to fight, he goes out of the city from the door to the door. Therefore, he is named Deshengmen. There is also a cannon on Deshengmen. Every noon, Deshengmen and Xuanwumen will fire a cannon at the same time, and millions of soldiers and civilians in the entire city can listen to the cannons.

Liu Jun’s Zhili Governor’s Office was located inside Deshengmen. Outside Deshengmen, there was the North Suburbs’ Grand Campus.

Before Liu Jun took office, the Ming Dynasty did not have the position of governor of Zhili. The original position was the admiral of the Jingying, but later it was changed to the admiral of the Jingying Rongzheng.

In the late Chongzhen period, Chongzhen, considering the combat effectiveness of the Chu army's new army, began to carry out training of the new army. After the defeat in western Liaoning, the speed of Chongzhen's training of the new army was accelerated. Before his death, the troops in the country were reorganized into 36 towns, especially in the north, and the nine towns in the capital and the fifteen towns of the border five military regions were established.

After the establishment of the army in the nine towns in the capital, the army has undergone two major adjustments and has the current situation.

Now, the entire capital of the capital has formed a three-layer defense and guard network, the capital, the suburbs of the capital and the surrounding areas.

Liu Jun, the governor of Zhili, was originally the governor of the Jing camp. Chongzhen originally intended to advance openly and surrender secretly, and first transferred Liu Jun from Liaodong and added the title of governor of the Jing camp. But in fact, he did not intend to let Liu Jun truly control the nine towns in the capital.

When the nine towns in the capital were established, it was planned to use one duke as the governor, three dukes under it, and then nine marquises as general officers.

But these honorary ministers, governors, generals, were actually just a noun as the traditions of the three major camps. Chongzhen's plan, the real controller of the capital, was to use civil servants and civil servants. Civil servants such as Shangshu, Minister of the Secretariat or Chief Censor, also served as the governor of the Jingchang.

Once Liu Jun is transferred from Liaodong, it won't take long to finish Chongzhen will remove Liu Jun from his position, and he won't even let him quit his name for too long.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, Chongzhen's abacus is good.

But he didn't expect that Liu Jun would secretly and decisively attack him. At the beginning, it was just a transitional position, but now it has become an important foundation for Liu Jun to join the government affairs.

Liu Jun's official title is the governor of Zhili, the governor of the Northern Zhili Province and other places, military affairs, food and salary, river management, and the governor of Shuntian.

This formal official title has actually changed compared to the initial one. After the emperor attended the meeting of the Prime Minister's Office yesterday, he specially summoned Liu Jun to the palace to accompany him to have a meal with Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Dowager Zhang, and the two kings of Yongding and Wang Chengen.

Originally, this was just a simple meal. The little emperor regarded Liu Jun as a reliable brother, and even Wang Chengen as his family member. At this meal, Liu Jun changed another 500,000 yuan in silver dollars, and the two empress dowagers each had 150,000 yuan, and gave the emperor 200,000 yuan.

The money was worth it. After the meal, Liu Jun talked with Zhu Ciye for a while. Among them, Liu Jun talked about the current situation in Northern Zhili was very loose. According to the Ming system, the reason why Zhili was called Zhili was different from other provinces. He did not have a provincial leadership organization, and many prefectures and counties under him were loosely arranged, and there was no provincial level, but was directly under the capital and court.

To put it bluntly, Shuntian, Baoding, Daming and other northern Zhili prefectures and counties are directly under the command of the six central ministries. This system is of course very important for the capital, but until now, this state is very unsuitable for the current situation.

Especially, it is not conducive to Liu Jun's appointment as Governor of Zhili.

If this is the case, even if Liu Jun becomes the governor of Zhili, he will at most be in charge of the troops in the nine towns of Jingying. Therefore, Liu Jun was happy to bring up the matter when the young emperor received 200,000 silver dollars.

Liu Jun suggested to Zhu Cixuan that the Northern Zhili should change the current loose state. The method of change is also very simple. In addition to the establishment of the Northern Zhili Province, the provincial-level Chengxuan Administration and the Provincial Censorate Office were established. At the same time, the original name of the surrounding provinces was divided into guards, patrols, and soldiers were prepared. It was officially affiliated with the provincial.

Zhu Cilang didn't understand military and political affairs very well, but felt that what the emperor said was very reasonable. Finally, he nodded in agreement, and then called Wang Chengen to ask him to draw a decree according to his own wishes to send it to the cabinet.

Then yesterday the cabinet received another central decree, and the Northern Zhili Province was established from now on. In the official position of former governor Zhu Ciye of Zhili, the former governor of Zhili, the official title was changed to the Governor of Zhili and other local governors of military affairs, grain and shovel, management of rivers and the governor of Shuntian.

This new official position is completely different from the original one. It used to be responsible for the three major camps and nine towns in the capital, but was simply responsible for military affairs. Now it has become the chief military and political officer, not only commanding troops, but also civil affairs.

When the imperial edict was sent to the cabinet, Zhou Yanru directly rejected it. But soon Zhu Cilang issued the second imperial edict to the cabinet, which was still the original intention, exactly the same, without changing a word.

Although the new emperor was young, he completely inherited Chongzhen in terms of persistence or stubbornness.

Zhou Yanru hesitated to see the second order issued, and did not dare to refute it anymore. Although he had this right, the emperor also had the right to remove his cabinet chief. Although this power is temporarily under the Prime Minister's Office, he is one of them, but there are three other people who are not in the way of dealing with him.

I endure it.

In the end, Zhou Yanru retreated, almost collapsed inside and agreed to the order with tears in his heart.

In this way, Liu Jun officially took office this morning, and he was no longer just the governor of the Beijing Camp, but the military and political chief of Zhili Province. He also served as the position of governor of Shuntian.

It can be said that Liu Jun is already completely considered a senior civil servant.

When entering the brand new Zhili Governor's Office, Liu Jun could even remember Zhou Yanru's haggard look when he met this morning.

The premier Zhou definitely didn’t sleep well last night.

As the chief of military and political affairs of a province, it is definitely different from the commander of the military region. Liu Jun’s current position is equivalent to a member of the bureau’s standing committee, secretary of Hebei Province, governor of the Beijing Military Region, commander of the Beijing Military Region and mayor of Beijing.

Liu Jun now not only manages the troops of the three camps and nine towns of the capital, but also manages the seven governors of Zhili Province, as well as the left and right governors, left and right censors, as well as the prefectures, prefects, counties, and sub-patrols, sub-patrols, sub-patrols, sub-patrols, sub-patrols, sub-patrols, and sub-patrols, sub-patrols, sub-patrols, and sub-patrols. He even manages the river.

As soon as Liu Jun stepped into the yamen, a group of officials in the screen wall had been waiting for a long time.

The new Zhili Province is no better than an ordinary province. Although the governor only has one province under the governor, there are seven governors under it. In addition to Liu Jun who served as the governor of Shuntian, there are also governors of Shanhai, governors of Tianjin, governors of Baoding, governors of Changping, governors of Tongzhou, and governors of Miyun.

Although the amount of governors in the Ming Dynasty has increased, the governor is still an extremely powerful civil and military official. Now, Liu Jun has one of them himself and still has six.

The six governors had received an important notice from the court yesterday, knowing that Zhili had become a province, and the governors of Zhili were now in charge of military and political affairs. No one of the governors dared to neglect them, and they arrived one after another.

The six governors stood on the left. It was still during the national mourning period, and all officials did not wear red robes and jade belts, but instead wore green robes and horn belts.

Behind them were left and right governors and left and right inspectors. The former commander commander in the three provincial departments has now been removed. The remaining two departments have actually been basically emptied by the subordinates and patrols and other roads. They are in the middle of the governor and the various roads, and they are neither above nor below, and have a very awkward position.

However, at least the rank is still there. All the civil servants of the various prefectures and the civil servants of the government have to stand behind them. However, although the six inspectors are the lowest among the civil servants, they have a superior position. They stand on one side, slightly behind the governors, but they are even higher than the officials of the Second Division. Beside the inspectors, there are six deputy envoys of the military supervisor. They serve as deputy envoys of the military supervisor as deputy envoys. Like the inspectors, in all the period when military is the priority, their position is also very far ahead.

At the end were the prefects and prefectures of each prefecture, and some of them were far away but failed to arrive. At this time, those standing behind were all from the suburbs of Beijing, and the front was the Daxing and Wanping counties under Shuntian Prefecture. These two counties are the two counties in the capital, and the capital is also divided into these two counties.

Compared with the civil officials, there are also a large group of military generals.

The Duke of Ding, Duke of Cheng, and Duke of England were led by the three Dukes who served as the admirals of the great ministers. Behind were Wuding, Duke of Zhenyuan, Duke of Taining, Duke of Xining, Duke of Yangwu, Duke of Anyuan, Duke of Wu'an, Duke of Wu'an, Duke of Fengcheng, and other nine marquises who served as generals. However, they were not the leaders of the Jing camp. They stood at the sidelines, and in front of their left, the real boss of the Jing camp, a assistant manager with the title of Shangshu, and three ministers with the title of assistant ministers. Then there were the eunuchs of the chief eunuchs and the eunuchs of the governors, and below were three eunuchs of the inner ministers and the nine eunuchs of the army. Further down there were a large group of deputy generals, generals, guerrilla generals, and other deputy generals.

"The minister Guru, the governor of Zhili, and the prince of Liaodong arrived!"

The yamen runners at the yamen gate immediately shouted loudly.

The neighborhood of the yamen has been cleaned very clean. Everyone knows that today is the first day of the King of Liaodong to take office, so not only cleaned the neighborhood, but also close to the neighborhood, the streets and alleys in front, back, left and right are very quiet, with light and dark guard posts, and idle people are also allowed to stay near.

The streets have been cleaned up. Pedestrians are cut off. Even the residents who are going to pass nearby can only detour from a distance and travel through other doors.

Liu Jun didn't care much about those formal pomp, and he didn't have to rely on those to Zhang Xian. He has today's status. He relied on his power and wisdom, his outstanding military achievements, and his elite troops of more than 100,000 birds under his command.

Amid the music that sounded from the yamen, Liu Jun did not wear a big red robe dress embroidered with a python dragon, nor did he wear a jade belt or a black gauze hat, but also wore a blue robe belt and slowly entered the yamen lobby surrounded by officials.

Liu Jun sat down behind the scenes, and Zhu Chenggong stood beside him holding Shangfang's sword. There was also a personal guard flag standing behind with twelve pairs of king's orders.

Civil and military officials were all wearing robes and black veils, and they were placed on both sides of the lower heads.

The officials paid a visit to Liu Jun in turn according to their ranks.

Each official came forward to pay homage, and there was a person singing aloud beside him.

After the officials finished singing, they would register for the visit in person, and then bowed and stood up to teach Jinghou.

No one dared to be presumptuous. The person sitting in the head of them was not just a young military general, but they were not afraid of his title. Everyone was afraid of Liu Jun's identity as a minister who was in charge of his life, and Liu Jun's killing of the Capitol Emperor, turning the tide in Liaodong, and saving the impressive record of saving the situation outside the Ming Pass.

Liu Jun sat there, having a good time. He didn't rush to scold, nor did he let the officials sit there.

He looked at the officials one by one with his pride, and then slowly stood up. The civil servants, military generals and eunuchs all bowed their hands, held their breath silently, and waited for instructions.

Liu Jun first led all the civil and military officials to worship the former emperor north, and then ordered the civil and military officials to sit down.

"I am deeply grateful to the emperor, and entrusted this important task, and I am trusted by the emperor. I ordered the governor of the civil affairs and military affairs of Zhili Province. You may receive the kindness of the country in the world or be promoted by the emperor, and you should work together to repay the emperor. As the emperor's place near the emperor, the capital barrier should be a model for the world. In the future, the three camps and nine towns in the capital will be rectified and trained. All prefectures, counties and localities should also strengthen governance. If anyone neglects his duties, don't say that I am not prepared at that time!"

After the opening, it was considered a formal discussion.

As Liu Jun expected, at the beginning of the discussion, the civil and military officials asked Liu Jun to pull out money and grain. Not only did the Jingying towns ask for food and wages, but local prefectures and counties also demanded food and wages.

Wu Xiang, the assistant minister of the Guard Battalion, said: "The towns in Jingying have been owed wages for nearly four months. The morale of the army is unstable and there are fewer weapons. Although they are organized, there are fewer artillery battalions and cavalry battalions, and there are also fewer artillery battalions and horses. The infantrymen use most of them, including spears and waist knives, and firearms, and a small number of firearms equipped with small amounts, all of them are old bird guns, and even three-eyed guns."

"The key to training troops is to be sufficient soldiers and pay, and then you can practice enough to become a strong army. You don't have to worry about food and pay. This governor has discussed with the imperial court and is mobilizing money and food into the capital. The major camps and towns report the figures of the owed food and pay first. This governor will give priority to the towns to reimburse the owed wages, and will be issued on schedule in each month in the future. Even if the military weapons of the towns will be replaced in batches."

Liu Jun's attitude was so good that he would respond to all his requests. They thought that Liu Jun would bargain no matter what, and then give him a replacement for a month first.

Liu Jun's eyes swept across everyone again.

"I just said that the three most important things in training are that the three most important things are: sufficient soldiers and sufficient wages. I will mobilize food and money. If you have enough wages, you will also give me enough troops and sufficient training. Half a month later, I will start to review the troops and horses of the three camps and nine towns. At that time, I will not want to see the situation of buying names and buying people to hire soldiers. I will not want to see the situation of eating empty salary and drinking blood from soldiers. As much as the soldiers are, I will ask for as much wages, but if you dare to report falsely, don't blame me for asking Shang Fang to kill the sword first and then report!" (To be continued.)
