After Tang Tong instigated a rebellion, the gateway to the northern part of Shanxi was opened, and the Ye Chen Department of the Qing army entered from the north of Jin and approached Taiyuan.In Taiyuan, Chen Yongfu, a native of Henan who was also a general of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to clear the wall, and held on to the city, and the Qing army lost troops under the city and suffered heavy losses.Ye Chen's repeated attacks were blocked, so he had to ask for help from Beijing Dolgon.Dolgon judged the situation and ordered Mang Gurtai to lead 3,000 soldiers and bring 20 red-coated cannons from Shanhaiguan to help in the battle.Twenty red-coated cannons were concentrated at the small north gate of Taiyuan and bombarded, the city wall finally collapsed, and the Qing army entered.Chen Yongfu did not surrender until he died, led the army to fight street by street, and died in the chaos.At the moment when the generals of the Ming Dynasty rebelled and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Chen Yongfu was the only general who died for the loyalty of the Great Shun Dynasty.During the Battle of Kaifeng, Chen Yongfu once shot Li Zicheng in one eye, and later when Li Zicheng surrendered Chen Yongfu, who was desperate and worried, he swore an oath that he would never harm each other.Chen Yongfu was grateful to Li Zicheng for treating him with sincerity and repaying Li Zicheng's sincerity with his life.If Li Zicheng had maintained his style of hard work and simplicity, sharing weal and woe with all the soldiers and soldiers, and treating each other with sincerity after he became king in Xiangyang, he would not have failed today.It was not that he was corrupt, it was not that he lacked resourcefulness, nor that he did not have great generals and advisers, but that his heart had changed, he indulged himself, acted recklessly, and could no longer be of the same mind with his soldiers, and could no longer tolerate differences of opinion with others, which led to his complete defeat.One Chen Yongfu, one Jiang Jiu, two Ming generals who surrendered at different times, and Li Zicheng's two different attitudes towards surrendered generals seem to explain everything.When Shanxi was in chaos, Wang Shuo was holding the first plenary meeting of his first Northwest Committee in Lanzhou.More than 100 members of the decision-making committee crowded into a large classroom at the Lanzhou Army School, speaking one by one.There is no way, there is no amplification equipment, everyone can only huddle together, otherwise what is said on stage will not be heard by the audience.First of all, Wang Shuo nominated and elected the first Standing Committee.Before the meeting, Wang Shuo and Liang Min had already talked to the decision-making committee members one by one and held several preparatory meetings.Everyone supported Wang Shuo's proposal, and there was no suspense in the election of the first decision-making committee members and the decision-making standing committee.Wang Shuo served as the head of the first Standing Committee for Decision-making, and Wang Ping served as the deputy director.Liang Min, Song Xiance, and Li Yan are members of the Standing Committee.Then, Wang Shuo made a report, determining the organizational system of the Northwest Government, the system of decision-making committees and standing committees, and the election model, which will be permanently written into the law.Then, the general task and goal of the current committee were determined, that is, to gradually develop and strengthen the new political power on the basis of the northwestern base areas, to move towards the world, and to liberate the whole country.Push the new regime to the whole world, liberate all the people of all nationalities who are exploited and oppressed, and establish a free country with democracy and the rule of law.The Standing Committee is generally responsible for the specific implementation of these tasks and objectives.Liang Min made a report on the work of the government on behalf of the Northwest Provisional Government, expounding on the progress and achievements of the base areas in terms of property, taxation, education, production, and systems, and also pointed out the existing difficulties, and called on everyone to continue to carry forward the spirit of arduous struggle, work hard and simple, unite and work hard, so that the new regime can continue to grow and develop, and eventually go to the world.Wang Ping made a report on the tasks and changes in the establishment of the armed forces in the future, as well as on the status of the tasks.In view of the actual financial, material, and production capacity of the base areas, the armed forces can only maintain the size of 100,000 local security forces and 200,000 regular troops at present.Due to the difficulty of obtaining raw materials, a large amount of manpower and material resources were required, and the cavalry could only maintain 100,000, and the musketeers could only maintain 20,000, and the rear had no ability to produce and supply grain, forage, baggage, and ammunition.The local security forces are under the unified leadership of the Northwest Provisional Government, under the leadership of Liang Min, and are scattered and stationed in various parts of the base area according to the actual situation, and are responsible for maintaining local law and order, cracking down on bandits, and resisting small-scale enemy invasions.The 200,000 regular army was redeployed and divided: Xin Sizhong led the First Cavalry Corps and the Second and Third Infantry Corps of the former Second Group Army to garrison Longzhong, defend to the east and south, and renamed the Longzhong Corps.Dang Shousu led the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the former 2nd Group Army and the 2nd Infantry Corps of the former 1st Group Army to garrison Xining to defend the border and renamed it Xining Corps.Hakesh led the First and Second Cavalry Corps of the First Group Army to garrison Gansu to defend the border, and renamed it the Gansu Corps.The remaining headquarters were originally directly under the cavalry corps, the former First Army and the Second Army had two musket corps, and the Third Infantry Corps of the First Army formed a mobile corps.There are four corps in total, plus a total of 100,000 special forces.Li Yan served as the commander, the deputy commander was the red lady, and the political commissar Liang Dingguo was the original Liang Dunzi.Liang Anguo, the commander of the cavalry army, and the two commanders of the musket army, Wang Jianguo and Ma Yuliang, respectively.Wang Jianguo is naturally Wang Xiaoer, who was renamed by Wang Shuo, and Ma Yuliang is the youngest son of Ma Shouying.Infantry Corps Commander Li Da.All the armed forces are under the unified leadership of the Standing Committee of the newly formed decision-making committee, with Wang Shuo as the general leader.In order to unify the name with the outside world and make it easier for external forces to understand, Wang Shuo is still called the general, and the proclamations and correspondence to the outside world are still issued in the name of the general.Military deployments are broadly divided in this way, and changes are made in the light of future developments and operational conditions.As soon as the meeting started, it was half a month.Everyone is not familiar with this new form of government organization, and they understand it while doing it, explore it while doing it, and make corresponding changes in the details.The committee members discussed the reports of the Standing Committee members in groups and expressed their own opinions, and then held a plenary meeting to summarize and sort out the opinions of each group, and the leaders of each group made speeches and expounded at the meeting.Then, in accordance with the specific opinions of the committee members, the Standing Committee members revised the report again until a resolution was reached that was in line with the actual situation.More than 100 people are gossiping, and it is inevitable to delay time.But everyone has seen the effect, that is, it can fully brainstorm and condense everyone's wisdom together.At the same time, the resolutions that emerge from the constant debate and interpretation are more thoroughly understood and implemented more accurately in the future.Finally, Song Xiance made a summary report.He and Li Yan came here relatively late, and Wang Shuo was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the working methods of the base area, so he did not intend to let them speak.The former Dashun Army Division, now the chief of general staff of Wang Shuo's Northwest Army, was so excited by this meeting that he had to say two words that he had followed Li Zicheng for many years, and he knew too well why Li Zicheng would fail.The reason why Li Zicheng failed was because he acted arbitrarily and could not listen to and implement correct opinions.How to avoid Wang Shuo from going to Li Zicheng's old path in the future Song Xiance has not come up with a countermeasure, and Wang Shuo has solved this problem himself, that is, the decision-making committee system
