Setting up defenses everywhere means not being on guard everywhere.
Although Li Shifang was a veteran on the battlefield, he still committed such a taboo as a military strategist.
But there was nothing he could do.
All his arrangements were based on what he had envisioned when the Fourth Division divided its forces to attack Jeolla Province.
The Fourth Division had to deal with the 200,000 Qing coalition forces, so it certainly couldn't allocate too many troops to attack Jeolla Road. In this way, his deployment will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Fourth Division.
He never thought that Xia Jun would think so highly of him that he would transfer an entire division from China.
A full 40,000 troops are pressing down on the territory. In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is useless.
Even if he retracted all his troops, he still could not stop the Fifth Division's offensive.
Starting from Daejeon, positions one after another were breached, and the Fifth Division rapidly advanced towards Jeonju from all directions.
Li Shifang looked around blankly, and suddenly found that he had been trapped in a big net. The net tightened tighter and tighter, and his struggles became weaker and weaker.
With the arrival of the large group of people, Hanyang became more lively.
In order to investigate the assassination of Li Ji, Huang Zonghui brought more than 40 capable judicial personnel.
"Judging from the current information, the biggest suspect is actually you."
In front of Zuo Mengeng, Huang Zonghui spoke frankly.
When encountering such a person, Zuo Mengeng had no good solution.
"This is not an issue you should consider. What you need to do is to calm the grievances of all parties and safeguard the interests of Xia Kingdom."
"Isn't the truth important?"
“In politics, does the truth matter?”
Huang Zonghui couldn't help but sigh.
"Your acting skills are getting better and better."
"For the sake of the national interest, what does it matter no matter how hard or tired you are?"
With Zuo Mengeng's authorization, Huang Zonghui officially took over the case. He was honest and unceremonious, and immediately summoned all the people together.
"Only evidence can prove who is the murderer. Before that, any remarks I make will be regarded as interference with the investigation. If anyone acts wantonly, I don't mind killing his head. I would like to advise everyone, until the truth comes out, , put away your selfishness and fully cooperate with the investigation of the case. Don’t make things difficult for me, otherwise I will definitely make things difficult for you.”
Faced with Huang Zonghui's murderous intent, Kim Sang-hyun, Shen Ji-won, Song Si-yeol and others were all extremely uncomfortable.
They are all high-ranking officials. Apart from facing the king, when have they ever been so forced?
However, they already understood the Xia Kingdom's system and knew that Huang Zonghui, the chief prosecutor, had astonishing power. He is only responsible to Zuo Menggeng, and even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet cannot interfere.
This is completely different from the Yanguan system implemented in the Ming Dynasty and North Korea.
Yanguan is nothing but the sword in the mouth and the knife in the hands of political bosses. They are the vanguard used to deal with political opponents. In fact, they do not have much autonomy.
In Xia State, the judiciary is completely independent, and no one can influence it except Zuo Mengeng.
This change in the system amazed the Korean people, and they were also very curious about its purpose.
After subduing the local snakes in North Korea, Huang Zonghui began to make arrangements.
"Investigating cases requires a large number of manpower, and North Korea also needs to establish a corresponding judicial system. Please make an announcement to let young scholars and scholars apply for jobs, and we will start training."
Hearing that Huang Zonghui not only wanted to investigate the case, but also reform the North Korean system, everyone couldn't help but be cautious.
Reform is always a big deal.
Political reform in particular involves stakes.
Xia Guo's plan to introduce the prosecutor system into North Korea will have an impact on the future political situation. No one can figure it out for the time being. But the powerful power of prosecutors has made them realize that they must keep this power in their hands.
Otherwise, in the future, it will really be a matter of people being knives and beings, and me being fish and meat.
For a time, each faction began to select outstanding talents and send them over.
These people will be the founders of North Korea's judicial system reform in the future.
Wang Yun also arrived in Hanyang.
He also has a heavy responsibility.
"Before the king takes the throne, political affairs cannot be delayed. Therefore, I plan to let the king and prime minister take the lead and work with everyone to govern the country first. Is it okay?"
Because of Li Ji's assassination and the disputes among various factions, who can succeed the king of Korea obviously cannot be decided in a moment.
However, the country's governance and recovery could not afford to be delayed, so Zuo Menggeng decided to build North Korea's political system first.
If you choose from various factions, you will definitely be dissatisfied with each other and make endless noises.
In this case, Wang Yun was temporarily in charge of political affairs and introduced Xia's advanced political system. In this way, North Korea can be helped to recover as quickly as possible.
With the situation like this, Shen Qiyuan and others were extremely helpless.
But who knows that they have fallen into a prisoner's dilemma and cannot extricate themselves. As an outsider and a superior country, Xia State was able to gain recognition from all parties.
Wang Yun took over the government affairs and immediately established the North Korean cabinet.
He personally served as acting prime minister and introduced Kim Sang-heon, Shim Ji-won, Song Si-yeol and others into the cabinet.
Originally, the people below were craning their necks waiting to carve up the power of the central departments. Unexpectedly, Wang Yun made a sudden change and proposed a new plan.
"There are many national affairs, but the most important one is farming. This is related to the life and death of the people in the world, and we must not neglect it. It is already April, and farming has been seriously delayed because of the war. If it is not handled properly, the food supply will be harvested in the autumn. How many people will starve to death due to the reduction in production? The truth has decided that you all rush to various places immediately to supervise agricultural production. Whoever does well will be promoted and reemployed. Whoever does not do well should go home and retire."
Regarding how to divide the power of the central ministries, Wang Yun did not adopt the method of sitting in rows and eating fruits, but competed for positions.
Spring plowing is a test question.
Who gets to the top depends entirely on performance.
Not only that, Wang Yun also introduced the new arrivals.
"This is Tong Jiafeng, deputy director of the Ministry of Agriculture of Xia State. He has brought agricultural science staff from Xia State and various high-yielding crops. You must fully cooperate and strive to increase food production. Everyone, will the North Koreans be able to do this from now on? You will be hungry, it all depends on this time. Whether you can leave your name in history, it also depends on this time."
In order to solve the problem of spring plowing, Zuo Menggeng transferred a large number of agricultural experts from Xia State, led by Vice Minister Tong Jiafeng himself.
In addition to people, many high-yielding crops such as corn and potatoes also entered North Korea for the first time in history.
North Korea has a large population, a small area and a harsh environment, so it is always under the threat of hunger. Even in peaceful winters, large numbers of people died of hunger.
Even for these two classes of scholar-bureaucrats, their standard of living is not very high.
Everyone knows what significance it will have once the problem of food and clothing is solved.
In the face of major events, the feuding factions had to put aside their conflicts temporarily, and cooperated with Xia Guolai's officials to quickly disperse to various places.
In the recovered areas, spring plowing became the only theme.
