The former enemy marshal's office, that is, the shogunate that defended the enemy, was an organization prepared to deal with military affairs as quickly as possible, just like the Manchu Military Aircraft Department.
There are also the headquarters of the National Government during the Anti-Japanese War, the headquarters of the Supreme Command established by the Soviet Union to fight Germany, the headquarters of Japan, and so on.
Great power, high efficiency, and quick decision-making are its advantages.
Similarly, a temporary organization like the Military Aircraft Service may be okay for a short period of time, but if it is maintained for a long time, it will form a monopoly, thereby affecting the composition of power.
When the young ruler comes to court, the military and aircraft department will fail, and the government will lose its decision-making and brain.
From the perspective of power structure, Cixi's rise to power was both accidental and inevitable.
This is also a comparative advantage of the cabinet.
On the first day, the Marshal's Mansion issued dozens of military orders.
First, Li Jingwu took charge of Huai'an and commanded 50,000 troops to garrison the canal; Bai Wang, Wang Guang'en, Yan Guochao, Zhao Guangyuan, etc. were stationed in various places to defend each level.
Later, the Household Department used the canal as a node to set up separate granaries, which could store no more than three days' worth of food every day to prevent the Manchus from seizing it.
Once the Marshal's Office was established, three cabinet members joined it, including the Ministry of War, the Fifth Military Governor's Office, the General Staff Department, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.
In other words, these people need to be on call at any time and take shifts. Once the emperor issues an order, they must execute it immediately.
There is no cabinet discussion, no so-called court meeting, it can be said to be quick and direct.
Needless to say, Fengyang, when Zhang Xianzhong burned Zhongdu, all the wealthy households in the city were robbed, and the common people also ran away, losing 56% of the population.
Coupled with the tyranny of Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others, countless people fled.
Therefore, on the basis of migration,
Some items, such as armor and baggage, food, grass and ammunition, etc., were also quickly dispatched under the coordination of the Staff Department.
Under the arrangements of the cabinet, the people in the Huaibei region began a great migration.
That is, people from Huai'an Prefecture moved into Fengyang Prefecture, and people from Yangzhou Prefecture moved into Luzhou and Chuzhou.
At this time, the feudal iron fist began to perform.
As a result, what appeared before Li Dingguo's eyes was an endless team of mules and horses, as well as a large number of ships.
"Pa, hurry up, the old man is looking for death!"
The people of Huai'an are also willing to go west.
Without him, it is really the Yellow River that took over the Huaihe River, leaving the two sides of the Huaihe River in the past mostly saline-alkali land with a lot of silt, and the rich Huaihai Plain became desolate.
Many people are happy to go to Fengyang and become common people in Zhongdu, but the loss of their family is worth tens of thousands of dollars, so there are many people who are reluctant to leave.
"Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life!"
The yamen servants rolled and crawled, kowtowed in a hurry, and their foreheads turned blue.
"If there is a next time, I will never let you go. Get lost!" Li Dingguo waved his hand and slowly lowered the whip he waved.
On the side of the road, among the stumbling team, an old man sat down weakly. He was immediately seen by the government officer who was watching closely, and he was whipped.
When Li Dingguo saw this, he frowned, stretched out his horse's hooves, got close to him, and whipped the officer.
"Hey, respect the old and love the young, don't you understand this principle?"
The old man accepted it shamelessly, confirming that the round and flat pieces looked like silver, but they were not in the shape of silver.
Hearing this, Li Dingguo smiled and said: "This is a silver dollar. One piece is worth one tael of silver. Please accept it!"
As he spoke, he no longer paid attention to the old man's expression, walked astride the horse, and kept looking along the canal.
"Old man, wait a minute, just keep the money."
Li Dingguo wanted to take out a few taels of broken silver from his arms, but it was only a few silver coins.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master. What is this?"
Gu Meng/s The once crowded canal is now particularly spacious without water transportation and interrupted from north to south.
Therefore, the military ships going north go to the right, and the civilian ships going south go to the left. Each is in its own position, which looks very orderly. Even if there is a blockage, the patrol boat will intervene to make arrangements.
"Doing his job? He is bullying the people!!!"
At this time, Gao Yigong behind him also ran over and said: "It's just a cheap official, so what if I kill him, the bad breath is worth it."
"Having said that, I'm just doing my duty."
Li Dingguo's face was calm, not as angry as he imagined, and his eyes were focused directly on the canal.
"What?" Gao Yigong frowned.
"Just like this yamen servant, although his methods are excessive, in the end he is doing things for the imperial court, and his crime will not lead to death."
Li Dingguo said softly: "If we correct it too much, I'm afraid the people below won't dare to do anything. How can we collect food and tax?"
Gao Yigong refused to accept it, gritting his teeth and eyes blazing with anger.
He felt that Li Dingguo must have had his soul changed.
"Does Shi Hao official know?" Li Dingguo stared at the canal intently.
Li Dingguo saw this very clearly. The Ming Dynasty was trying to clear the country with a strong wall. Even if it could not defeat the Manchus, it would still have to kill them.
Gao Yigong waved his hand and muttered helplessly: "You have many reasons."
"Brother Gao, fighting a war and governing the people are different after all. There is a huge gap. You can't just do things based on your preference."
"Then they relocate the people and make people leave their homes. Isn't it bad after all?"
Gao Yigong didn't quite understand, but still refused to give up.
"It is better to let them leave Huai'an Mansion than to be robbed and massacred by the Manchu Qing."
Li Dingguo shook his head. The common people like a colony of ants are the most pitiable in this troubled world.
However, how to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty?
After following Zhang Xianzhong for several years, he had never even seen the so-called Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Why did the emperor trust him so much?
Li Dingguo turned his head, looked at Gao Yigong and said: "Although I am the only one who doesn't want to speak for Emperor Shaowu, I have to speak. He is still a qualified emperor, at least not a faint king."
"I know, otherwise I would have run away."
Gao Yigong turned his head and rode away: "It's not like I can't see the boatloads of oxen and plows in Nanjing..."
However, as soon as he relaxed a little, the emperor gave him a difficult problem.
Three thousand war horses were dispatched to form a cavalry with Li Dingguo and Gao Yigong.
"Incredible!"
This is a question worth thinking about.
In Huai'an City, Li Jingwu continued to deal with the problem of people's migration. The countryside was almost empty, and 60% to 70% of the city was gone.
Simply canal is convenient and saves a lot of time.
"The humble position has seen the control!"
Li Dingguo and Gao Yigong knelt on one knee.
"Since His Majesty sent us here, no matter what you did before, if you disobey in the future, you will be punished by military law."
Li Jingwu rubbed his temples, feeling that this matter was very ridiculous.
Li Dingguo was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, and Gao Yigong was Li Zicheng's brother-in-law. After being captured and surrendered, they were directly incorporated into the Beijing camp.
It's unbelievable.
Because of Gao Jie, the cavalry battalion gained tens of thousands of horses, thus expanding to 15,000 men. One person and two horses would not be more than 30,000.
After giving up three thousand, the war horse will be tight.
Li Jingwu's face was filled with distress.
"yes!"
"The war horses are ready. Go get them yourself!"
Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Li Jingwu sighed: "I hope you won't disappoint His Majesty..."
