The immediate reason for the creation of the Governor was in response to the rebellions that often arose in the newly incorporated territories.

Under the trinity of military, government and finance, the generals of the garrison can not only quickly defeat the rebels and protect the property of the people, but also act independently without being constrained by other officials.

The most obvious advantage of this method is that it is highly efficient, and the disadvantages are equally obvious, because after a long time, it is easy for officials to support their own troops, and the accumulation of food is so excessive that the soldiers and local people only know the governor, not the imperial court.

The governor's three-year term of office was precisely to deal with this drawback, and in Liu Hongchuan's view, three years was enough time to bring peace to the newly incorporated territory.

If it can't be done, it will only prove that the governor is not qualified, and then it needs to be removed and replaced by talented people.

Fortunately, all the governors recommended by Liu Hongji, such as Feng Dunhou, the governor of Northeast China, Babala, the governor of Inner Mongolia, Qu Jianhong, the governor of Korea, and Wang Yuanba, the governor of Beihai, did a good job.

There was peace in all places, there were few rebellions, and these big bosses were able to pay a lot of taxes to the treasury every year, which is also the reason why the keyboard warriors of the imperial court did not attack the governors in various places for three years.

But setting up a governor is not the norm after all, since the people of the three provinces have gradually stabilized and peaceful, then the three-in-one model of military, government, and finance must be broken, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.

Liu Hongchuan's suggestion was to abolish the governorship of the three provinces, and Feng Dunhou, the former governor of the northeastern province, and Qu Jianhong, the former governor of the Korean province, were transferred, with Feng Dunhou going to the Korean province as the chief soldier and Qu Jianhong going to the northeast as the chief soldier.

In addition, the general army no longer manages the government affairs and finances of the jurisdiction, but is handed over to the officials appointed by the imperial court, but the political envoy has no right to interfere in the military affairs of the general army, and needs to be responsible for the military salaries and grain of the local general army.

In addition, the excess financial surplus is turned over to the state treasury and supervised by the Inspectorate and the East Factory.

The former governor of the ancient province of the League, Babala, was transferred to the Outer League as the chief soldier, and the post of the former Xuanfu Town of the Nine Sides was revoked, and Wei Penghong, the chief soldier of the Yuanxuanfu Town, rushed to Inner Mongolia Province as the chief soldier.

The new governor of Xiluo Province was established, and the governor was Su Ketu, the former deputy general of the ancient province of the League.

The general army of Guyuan Town, one of the nine sides, was abolished, and Liu Wen, the former general soldier of Guyuan Town, moved to the northwest with 30,000 border troops to Xiluo Province, and was controlled by Su Ketu, the governor of Xiluo Province.

The general army of Taiyuan Town, one of the original nine sides, was abolished, and Xiang Xiong, the general soldier of Yuanyuan Town, rushed to the northwest with 30,000 border troops of his department to Zhongluo Province as the chief soldier, and was controlled by the governor of Xiluo.

Due to the lack of enemies and deserted people, there is no governor in Dongluo Province for the time being.

After the Ming Dynasty incorporated Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia and Rakshasa into the territory, the north of the Ming Dynasty no longer had any enemies, and the nine-sided status that was originally relied on by the imperial court as a line of defense declined year by year.

So far, there are only three towns of Datong, Ningxia and Gansu.

At the same time, the ordnance station must continue to expand in order to upgrade the weapons and equipment of the border armies in various parts of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

Liu Hongjian even gave a death order to the ordnance, urging the ordnance institute to complete the large-scale replacement of firearms in the whole army within two years.

That is, all musketeers are replaced with bolt-action rifles, all artillery battalions are replaced with state-of-the-art howitzers and mortars, and cavalry must be equipped with a rear-loading short gun on the basis of the existing configuration of knives and grenades.

The large-scale change of clothing includes the border army, the Praetorian Guard, the Yulin army and the tiger army, and the total number of troops in the Ming Dynasty, including the army and navy, is more than 1.46 million.

Zhu Cihong originally wanted to expand the army, but was gradually vetoed by Liu Hong.

He originally thought that the territory of the Ming Dynasty had more than doubled, so the army should also be expanded accordingly, but he didn't know that Liu Hongjian didn't plan to win by numbers at all, although the current number of troops in the Ming Dynasty was already the absolute first in the world.

After discussing the division of regions and the transfer of troops from various places, the cabinet members were immediately driven back to the yamen by Zhu Cihong to work, and the brothers were left in the spacious Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I need to tell you, I plan to build a military base on a small island in the Atlantic.

This base will be dedicated to containing the countries of Europa, and at the right time it will be possible to attack from the side of Eurobasi, and it will be a horn against the province of Cilo. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hongjian still decided to tell Zhu Cihong about the mercenary group, after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, he didn't want to have a gap between the two, but he didn't explain that this unit was in the form of mercenaries.

"On top of the war, Liu Qing, it's good for you to make a decision, I don't understand." Zhu Cihong said.

"In order to confuse the countries of Europa, the source of troops for this army is not drawn from the Ming Dynasty, but from distant Leviia, but weapons and equipment still need to be transferred from the country." Liu Hong gradually said again.

"Isn't it possible that the countries of Europa belong from the weapons?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Hehe, as long as we yellow people don't show up, who can be sure that it's Da Ming with just weapons? I can spread the news that the weapons of this army were smuggled from Daming.

Moreover, the supply of this army did not go from the Ming or even the Siro, but was purchased from Europa, and I have negotiated with Poland and Francisco in Europa, both of which have received the favor of the Ming Dynasty, and have feuds with their neighbors, and will not reveal the news. Liu Hongjian explained simply.

"I don't understand, it's good that Liu Qing is in charge of the war." Zhu Cihong is still the same, and even his tone has not changed.

"Alas, Your Majesty, sooner or later, you will have to take care of these things yourself, but you can't always be the shopkeeper." Liu Hong gradually sighed and said.

"Why? Liu Qing, you're only in your twenties! Zhu Cihong said casually.

"Back then, I promised the emperor that I would be regent for three years, and now the three-year period is approaching." Liu Hong said seriously.

"I am the emperor, and I will allow Liu Qing to continue to be regent." Zhu Cihong suddenly thought of the agreement of the year.

Originally, he still thought that it would be uncomfortable to be managed, but in fact, in the past three years, Liu Hong has gradually not interfered at all, and basically followed the wheel of war to work for Daming.

"It's the minister who doesn't want to be regent, this country is the country of the Zhu family, and it will attract criticism for a long time." Liu Hong said tiredly.

Yes, he is only in his twenties, but only he knows how much bloody rain he has experienced in the past six years.

He understands very well that this is not what he wants, but the promise to Uncle Chongzhen has been basically completed, and at the same time, he thinks that Zhu Cihong should also face the stormy waves alone.

In another six months, at the end of the year, the three-year regency period had expired, and he did not see any reason for him to remain on this son.

"But Liu Qing, you don't seem to have done your duty in the past three years, I think you have never taken the initiative to regency, you are derelict in your duties, so I don't agree." Zhu Cihong almost choked Liu Hongjian with a word.
