    Liu Xuan didn't sleep all night. He spent most of the night polishing the manuscripts of the "War Chronicles" section that was published continuously in "Guo Wen Bao" and handed them over to his colleagues in typesetting. After washing them a little, he made up his mind to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.  Make a trip to meet Mr. Wei Hou in person.  .  .

    Wei Zhijun surrendered to the King of the West at the beginning of the year and was granted the title of Uncle Zhaoxin. Later, he was promoted to a marquis for his service in training the old troops of the King of the East and the King of the North. According to the official system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a marquis could marry eight queens, but Wei Zhijun had no choice but to marry the former  Apart from the five wives, there is no more Mrs. Xinna. Liu Xuan knows what he is waiting for, but she will never tolerate being someone else's little wife.

    Following the officials from the Ministry of War, they entered the lobby of the Ministry of War. Wei Zhijun was overjoyed and walked down to the main hall of the Ministry of War. He asked with great concern: "The weather is so cold, why did you come here so early in the morning? Is there something important?"  "

    Liu Xuan lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. She only said, "Does the War Propaganda Department really need manpower?"

    Seeing Liu Xuan talking about official matters, Wei Zhijun was slightly disappointed, but he still said patiently: "The Western King recently ordered the Ministry of War to establish a War Propaganda Department, which is responsible for arranging some poems and songs to enrich the lives of soldiers on the front line, and to boost morale.  , secondly, it can relieve the psychological pressure of the soldiers, and thirdly, wherever the War Propaganda Department goes, it can publicize our military deeds. Fourthly, it is still an idea of ??mine. There are many Qingyao soldiers captured in the front now, and most of them  They are all Han people. Although they have gone astray, many people can still be saved, so I want the War Propaganda Department to shoulder the responsibility of influencing them. The talented woman Jiang Emei of Tianjing Daily is as sharp as your writing, and both  You are well-informed. You two should be very good at writing poetry repertoire, so I thought of transferring you from Guowen News."

    After Liu Xuan thought for a moment, he finally raised his head and looked at Wei Zhijun and asked, "Don't you have any selfish intentions?"

    Wei Zhijun was a little embarrassed by her burning eyes.  Suixue turned her head and looked out the window and whispered: "The errands of the National Newspaper are civil servants, while the War Propaganda Department of the Ministry of War has military posts. I just want you to work in the War Propaganda Department. I am very grateful to you."  It will be very beneficial to my future career, if I say I have selfish motives, it is just this."

    Liu Xuan was slightly startled, lowered his head and said softly: "Master Wei Hou, I don't deserve your protection. I don't know how to repay your kindness."

    Wei Zhijun smiled slightly and said: "You are still the same as you were when we first met. I remember that at that time you were elected to the Northern Palace, and you seemed to know that you might be accepted as the queen. You actually brought a short blade with you, just because you wanted to  If there is any rape, you will die immediately, which shows how strong your temper is."

    Liu Xuan was silent for a moment and then said: "I would also like to thank you. If the Marquis hadn't protected me at that time, I might no longer be alive."

    Wei Zhijun waved his hands and sighed softly: "I respect your talents and character. I can't bear to see such a good woman like you die." At this point, he paused and then smiled: "Not now.  Great? Your talents can finally be put to full use. You are already quite famous among the female officials of the Kingdom of Heaven. How about it? Have you decided? Come to the War Propaganda Department. Although you may have to go to the battlefield, the War Propaganda Department is on the battlefield.  It will be well protected like the field rescue center, and there will be no danger. It is still a war period, and promotion will be faster if you have a military position."

    Liu Xuan shook his head and said: "I agreed to the transfer, but not for promotion. I want to go to the battlefield." Wei Zhijun was slightly startled, and saw the early morning sun finally breaking through the gloomy sky.  Golden light shone into the lobby of the Ministry of War, and Liu Xuan was shrouded in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom official uniform with a yellow hood. She had an indescribable mysterious temperament. She said slowly: "I just want to use the pen in my hand to talk to you."  Fight against the demons!"

    Bang bang bang, just a few rounds of applause came from the door of the lobby of the Ministry of War. When the two looked back, they saw the King of the West striding in wearing a yellow dragon robe. He said with a smile: "What a useful person."  I use my pen to fight against the Qing Yao. I am worthy of being one of the four most talented women in Tianjing. I am truly a woman who cannot be outdone by men."

    Wei Zhijun and Liu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The Western King smiled openly and helped them up. Wei Zhijun asked curiously: "Why are Your Highnesses here?" After the Western King took over Tianjing, he would convene a court meeting every day to discuss the country.  For major events, usually after the yamen of various ministries have concluded, the official of the department, usually the minister of each ministry, will lead his subordinates to go to court, and those who are qualified to go to court for discussion are generally officials above the director level of each department.

    King Xi's chin has always been bare since he shaved off his beard. He touched his chin and smiled lightly: "I didn't sleep all night last night. Seeing that there was still some time left before the court meeting, I went to various government offices for a walk.  have a look."

    Wei Zhijun had known Xiwang since early in the regiment camp in Jintian Village. At that time, Xiwang had a majestic beard, which gave people a very powerful feeling. But now, although Xiwang has no beard, he always gives a strong impression.  Wei Zhijun felt unruffled and proud.

      Just listen to King Xi continue to say: "The War Propaganda Department is a newly established department. Miss Liu's joining is a great help. Of course, the War Propaganda Department cannot rely on just Miss Liu and Miss Jiang. There are naturally others."  Talented and learned people have joined. However, this War Propaganda Department should deploy more female soldiers and perform more popular songs and dances, which can inspire the soldiers on the front line. The style of Jinling Baiju played by Miss Su Wenliu is so popular that Jinling Baiju  Famous masters are authentic, and Miss Jiang has many years of accomplishment in Kun Opera, so I need you to write some lyrics and music that encourage soldiers to fight and add them to these traditional songs, and then teach the female soldiers to go to the front line to perform for the soldiers, using literary and artistic methods  It is a form of condolences to front-line troops to achieve the effect of improving morale and relieving the psychological pressure of soldiers."

    At this point, the King of the West paused and then said: "The War Propaganda Department will be under the Ministry of War first. Adjustments will be made later when the war is decided. In addition to literary and artistic propaganda, the War Propaganda Department also has what Marquis Wei said.  The matter of transforming prisoners can also be considered, but for now, the War Propaganda Department should concentrate on the cultural and artistic condolences performances first, and other departments will be responsible for the rest of the tasks later. As for the work, do it one by one  It¡¯s best to get up and be steady one step at a time, it¡¯s impossible to eat everything in one sitting.¡±

    Wei Zhijun suddenly started to sweat slightly. Could it be that King Xi had listened to what he had just said to Liu Xuan?  At that moment, he said with some trepidation: "King Xi, it's just that after the Jiangxi and Fujian Township Corps entered Guangxi, the large occupied area needs the Township Corps to maintain public order. I'm afraid that the Rixiang Corps will be short of manpower after a while, and it is still necessary to transform the Qingyao prisoners as soon as possible.  Only then can it be applied.¡±

    The King of the West nodded and said: "I have also noticed this problem. Previously, most of the prisoners of the Qing army were digested and absorbed by each unit. There were many problems. It was easy for spies to mix in. Moreover, the transformation speed was very slow, resulting in most of the prisoners  It was still handed over to the rear for management, which also caused some difficulties for the place. As for converting prisoners on the battlefield, the army in the West Palace often did it, but this time you can think of setting up a department to take care of this matter. It is a good idea.  But it is not appropriate to hang it under the responsibilities of the War Propaganda Department."

    Wei Zhijun snorted and said, "Does the King of the West still want to establish another department?"

    The King of the West shook his head and said: "One department cannot accommodate the department I have in mind. I plan to set up a separate department in addition to the six departments, called the Department of Training and Administration. Below it will be the War Propaganda Department, the Organization Department, and the Promotion Department.  , Internal Security Department, Military Justice Department, Military Officer Department and other departments, and this Organization Department should be the department responsible for the issue of prisoners of war. In the future, the Ministry of War should be changed to the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Training and Political Affairs is responsible for the management of the army and other local armed forces.  The army. As for the functions of the other departments of the Training and Administrative Department, I will compile a charter for everyone to discuss later, and make changes after consensus is reached. "

    Wei Zhijun was horrified. He only thought about the issue of transforming prisoners. Unexpectedly, the King of the West thought more deeply. He had recently felt that the affairs of the Ministry of War were numerous and messy. There were indeed many benefits to setting up a separate department to manage the army.  What he didn't know was that the Political Training Department that the King of the West was talking about was actually the General Political Department that was born out of the modern army in later generations. It was an important measure for the regime to command the army. With this department, it could completely control the army and let the  The Ministry of National Defense can focus more on national defense issues, and the two can be organically linked together.

    The King of the West looked at Wei Zhijun and Liu Xuan, and said to Wei Zhijun in a serious voice: "What I said is just a draft. I won't know about it until I have a full plan. You and I can forget it." Wei Zhijun  He Liuxuan hurriedly agreed, followed King Xi and looked at Wei Zhijun intriguingly: "I'll tell you first, just because I want you to think more about this aspect. After all, this newly established department also needs someone whom I can trust."  People take the lead."

    Wei Zhijun's heart was shocked, knowing that the King of the West was giving him a reminder. In the future, he would hope to sit in a position of real power as a minister. When he thought that this department was the real power department that controlled the army, Wei Zhijun's heart felt hot and he immediately felt heavy.  He nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely die in repayment."

    The King of the West smiled and said nothing more. He just said: "Okay, it's almost time. I will go back and get ready before going to court. Don't be late for your military department." After saying that, he turned around and strode away.  .

    Liu Xuan bowed and didn't straighten up until King Xi left. In a blink of an eye, Wei Zhijun's face was glowing red, but he was still in a state of excitement, thinking to himself: "The king of Xi is serious about his imperial methods."  It's amazing. Just a few words changed the spirit of Lord Wei Hou. Moreover, these few words prevented Lord Wei from revealing his plans and greatly increased his loyalty. It's really  Awesome." Then he thought about it, "Then why isn't King Xi worried that he will be leaked?"

    Xiao Yungui strode out of the yamen of the Ministry of War, smiled faintly, and thought to himself: "Wei Zhijun is very ambitious and addicted to officialdom. Sure enough, drawing a cake will make him more effective. As for that little girl Liu Xuan, a passionate and angry woman??, they will naturally remain tight-lipped.  Sooner or later, the people in the Ministry of War should be separated. All the soldiers and horses in the country are ordered to come out from here. If Li Kaifang turns the Ministry of War into a monolith, it will not be very beneficial to the king.  The Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Training and Administration, hahaha, when the time comes, we will solve this hidden danger once and for all" (To be continued)
