Zhang Chunniu received the hand-zha and ordered him to go south, but later ordered him to lead his troops to wait. After the surrender ceremony, the Chahar people were gradually diverted and the army was also scattered and stationed one after another.

Among them, Li Congye's third regiment stationed in the Barhu people and in the northern part of the Korqin and Chahar people's ranch, which was actually stationed along the boundary between the grassland and the Greater Xing'an Mountains.

The First Iron Cavalry Regiment was ordered to return westward. Many people watched the iron-armored cavalry heading westward like a torrent of steel, and they were also full of expectations for them.

Now the entire Hutchison Merchants Army has known that Zhang Han has temporarily retired and returned to Xinpingbao to live in a plea.

The court made Zhang Han's resignation accurate and clearly expressed his attitude.

The entire merchant army was immersed in a state of worry, anger, and even sadness.

If the soldiers don’t let them see his forbearance and concession, how can they understand Zhang Han’s forced and difficult situation?

When Zhang Hanyi announced, many people were panicked, and even some residents in the Tunbao wanted to abandon their land and flee.

The emotions in the army were also extremely unstable. As soon as people woke up from the carnival of conquering Mongolia and receiving surrender ceremony, they had to face the situation where the backbone left.

The trestle was unstable, the various departments were unstable, and the emotions in the army were also extremely bad.

Some soldiers kept trying to use muskets to find the treacherous ministers in the court to "ask for an explanation". Later, the army chief had to confiscate all the soldiers in a short time, which was something that had never happened since the establishment of the Shang regiment army.

Later, the caravan was unstable, and the caravans from Zhangjiakou were afraid to go north. If there was a change in Hutchison, the Mongols surrendered and rebelled again, and the Ming Dynasty or sent troops to the grassland, and there was no Zhang Han in charge of this mess, who would dare to pat on his chest to guarantee that it was okay? Even if Li Shenming or Sun Jingting came forward, it would be useless to appease the emotions of all parties.

In a short period of time, Hutchison became a powder keg. People not only resented the treacherous ministers from the Ming Dynasty to embarrass Zhang Han, but they were stingy with rewards for the great merits of attacking and eliminating the Northern Barbarians. They were also so suspicious of Lord Zhang and wanted to fall apart. This vicious intention was really indignant.

This is what Zhang Han’s real intention is. If he wanted to attack Ming before, the army would inevitably rebound. If he declared the throne under such an emotion, more than 90% of the soldiers would follow without hesitation.

Later, when Zhang Han had to go along the Suicheng to Qingcheng, he met countless people, middle-level officers in the army, officials from various departments, and merchants going north, patrolling various villages and forts, saying that he was just resting, and that Hutchison would still ask about the military and political affairs... This was how he calmed down the hearts of the military and the people, and Hutchison began to continue to run smoothly under the leadership of Sun Jingting and others.

The First Regiment of the Dragoon was driven back to the Qingcheng area to garrison, the Second Regiment went to the Jiuzhongdu area, the Fourth Regiment was stationed in Taiwan, the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Nineteenth Regiment was stationed in the Suicheng City and the Korqin line. The Second Regiment of the Lancer was stationed in the north of Jizhen, the Cavalry Regiment was stationed in the north of Xuanfu, and a part was stationed in Jibei.

The entire Hutchison army gradually opened up, and the baggage soldiers also moved with the mobilization of the war soldiers. A month ago, Chahar gathered a Hutchison army of more than 100,000 people in Korqin, and now there are fewer left.

Even so, the line of Suijiangcheng was still the top priority. Five regiments of war soldiers were stationed along the Korqin to the Thirteen Mountains, and nearly 40,000 were cooperated with the baggage team. Sun Jingting and the Political Affairs Hall did not move here, and a large number of political officials and personnel from various departments gradually moved here.

This action made everyone understand, and Hutchison did not intend to re-take Qingcheng as the core.

In the chaos, Zhang Chunniu and his subordinates took on several tasks of transporting prisoners to the west. After returning, they transported a large amount of military supplies to Yizhou Guards. Zhang Chunniu looked at the Thirteen Mountains from afar. A few years ago, he and a large convoy cooperated with the Ming army to deliver supplies and open the Jurchens' encirclement of Thirteen Mountains. At that time, Zhang Chunniu performed very well with the baggage and musketeers, which attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty to Hutchison. As for his senior military leaders, he also planned to be transferred to the army. At least Yang Sixun and Ren Jing of the Sixth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment were very interested in Zhang Chunniu.

Zhang Chunniu himself was unwilling to be a warrior, and ignored life and death. He asked himself that he could not do it.

By this time, Zhang Chunniu was rarely in danger of life. Even if he was transferred to the warriors, he was at least a battalion-level commander. According to the military rules of the Hutchison, battalion-level commander was not allowed to visit the front line in person unless he was surrounded or defeated. The possibility of battalion-level commander being in danger of life was very small.

Zhang Chunniu didn't want to see anyone bleed. He asked himself that he was not a qualified soldier, nor was he a general. If he couldn't bear it, he would be a general, and if he couldn't stand it, he would not be a qualified fighter. Although he was very capable, he would still be a mercenary commander.

In early September, the weather turned cold, and almost all the army changed into winter clothes. The baggage soldiers sent supplies all the way, but some baggage soldiers were still wearing summer clothes.

When Zhang Chunniu received the order again, he was also very brisk in Xia Chang, who came out of the Political Affairs Hall, received the order from the Military Order Command, and strode back to the garrison.

Many people greeted him along the way, and after all, they were also famous among the officers of Hutchison's Vessels. Many people knew the story of his participation in the rescue of Thirteen Mountains.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Chunniu is famous in the Hutchison system, but he is even more famous in the Ming Dynasty.

Even Emperor Tianqi knew that this man was a "good general". He led his troops to assist Shisanshan to fight beautifully, but no one knew that this good general was now the leader of a group of baggage soldiers.

"You can go later." A general carrying two silver stars on his shoulders hurriedly. When he saw Zhang Chunniu's face, he pointed at him and said, "Let me live here."

"Haha, it's the Nie Army's political officer!" Zhang Chunniu laughed when he saw it. When he was with Lu Dafu and Li Shouxin and others, Nie Lei was their military officer. When he was a recruit, he always made mistakes. When Nie Lei saw it, he said "stagnant" with a stern face, and then those who committed the crime had to stand in the same place and wait for the disposal.

At the beginning, everyone was scared to death, but except for a few who really made big mistakes, Nie Lei mainly criticized and educated people, and rarely beat them to death with one stick.

Of course, such military and political officers were very popular. Later, Nie Lei was transferred to the side of the lances, and two or three years passed in a flash.

Nie Lei nodded with a smile. He is now the deputy secretary of the Military and Political Department. There is news that he will take over the Military and Political Department.

There will be a major reform soon. The Military Order and the Staff Department will be merged into the Privy Council, which is in opposition to the Political Affairs Council. In the future, the Political Affairs Council will likely be changed to the Ministry of the Secretariat. The Privy Council has the military order system, the Staff and the Military Training Department. The Military Law Department will be responsible for the daily management, maintaining military laws and the military affairs in wartime, and the specific war affairs will be responsible for the Privy Council.

The Military Industry Department, the Military Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department will be under the Political Affairs Hall, and in the future, the Hutchison system is not completely comparable to the traditions of the Ming Dynasty. The Privy Council's duties range from military orders to staff to training, and the entire army is basically in charge of the Privy Council. The Political Affairs Hall controls military affairs and military affairs, and the military affairs department has arrested the promotion of military records and retired and naturalized officers, and its functions have been slightly strengthened than before.

The original chief officials of each department might be promoted to serve as deputy political officials, and some county magistrates who went out to serve as county magistrates in order to achieve equal exchanges between Zhang Han and the center.

Just like the county prefect in the Han Dynasty, he could be the nine ministers when he entered, and the nine ministers could also be the county prefect when he went out.

The central officials of the Ming Dynasty, such as Hanlin, who became a prefect in the local area, were considered demoted, and officials in Beijing had to be promoted after leaving Beijing. Even so, many officials in the Qingliu would rather not be promoted than go out because the central government was the top priority. Once they left Beijing, even if they were promoted, they would be considered demoted.

If you want to be a master in charge of the world, you will not be able to leave the capital after the middle of the Ming Dynasty. As a Hanlin, you will be qualified to be a Kaifang and go to the Eastern Palace to give lectures, then compile the records of the previous dynasty, and then be transferred to the Minister of the Secretariat, and finally wait to be transferred to the Shangshu or directly enter the cabinet. This is the shortcut for civil servants in Zhongnan.

When you become an official in the local area, you will not only have to say what you have to do, but you will also be able to take responsibility. You will work hard for decades to get the center. It is really half the result with twice the effort.

This is not as good as the Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, there were many ministers who served as governors in the local area with the title of Grand Secretary. The border officials were valuable. Although they were not as powerful as military power, they seemed to be able to compete with each other. Especially after the middle period, the local centrifugal force was strong, and the border officials were equal to princes. For example, Li Hongzhang was in Zhili and Beiyang Navy, which had the highest tonnage in Asia, was actually his private army. The entire Qing court, the Beiyang Army, could take action. It can be said that Li Hongzhang, a throne-owned official, supported half of China's defense. The power and honor of such local officials were unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the power of the chief officials in the Qing Dynasty was too high, even to be a semi-independent state. It was also because there were many local affairs after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the central government lacked control over local areas. From the mutual protection of the five southeastern provinces, it can be seen that the central government's authority over local areas was really limited.

When the Qing Dynasty fell, it was indeed trapped in internal struggles, and the warlords in various provinces fought endlessly, and they were useless to waste national strength.

The relationship between Zhang Han’s ideal center and local governments requires that the local government has power and status, and cannot form self-reliance. That is, the central strengthening and local strengthening is also strengthening, and the two are win-win.

This kind of desire and goal is of course excellent, but whether such a goal can be achieved must continue to explore and move forward.

Nie Lei came out not long after entering the room, raised a piece of paper in his hand, and said to Zhang Chunniu with a smile: "Are you guessing, what is this?"

Zhang Chunniu smiled and said, "How can I guess this? I'm going to do a mission soon. Is there a new change?"

The last time he urgently ordered the mission, but it was later cancelled. Zhang Chunniu could not guess what to do outside Ji. Now there is the Second Iron Cavalry Regiment stationed in Jibei. It is really a god and ghost. The Ming army corresponds to Heiyunlong and his troops stationed at the side wall to defend. I am afraid they themselves dare not say they can defend it. According to the information from the Military Information Department, Heiyunlong sent someone back to the capital the next day to ask for some cannons from western Liaoning to come over and stand them at the border walls such as Da'ankou and Gubeikou. Otherwise, the morale of the army in Jizhen would not be able to be maintained.
