Regarding the income tax, Su Ze did not give a direct answer. Instead, just like last time, he asked the cabinet, the Ministry of Revenue and some representatives of the Constitutional Assembly to discuss Ren Fu's initiative to pay taxes.

Su Ze looked at the information in his hand. This was the news from Wang Shizhen and Lu Tianshou in the capital.

Li Chengliang contacted Li Xun's position as commander of the Nine Border New Army, and also transferred Li Xun's position as governor of Liaodong to his son Li Rusong.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengliang announced that he would incorporate the Jiubian New Army and form the Fourth Town of the New Army in the Capital and the Fifth Town of the New Army. The commander was still appointed by the Jiubian general, but all middle-level officers declared their loyalty to Li Chengliang.

In this way, Li Chengliang completely annexed the new army in Jiubian.

Now Li Chengliang controls the capital, Shanxi, Gansu, Liaodong and Shandong, completely overwhelming Chen Yiqin in Henan and Guo Pu in Shaanxi, becoming the most powerful faction in the Ming court.

Only then did Chen Yiqin and Guo Pu react. They immediately sent envoys to each other to contact each other and jointly fight against Li Chengliang.

Chen Yiqin and Guo Pu even quickly put aside their differences and became in-laws, sending a signal of unity.

Li Chengliang was a little regretful that Chen Yiqin and Guo Pu combined too quickly and did not give him a chance to defeat each other.

His current strength seems to be very strong, but he also needs to bear a lot of defense.

After Yi Sun-shin proclaimed the establishment of Korea in Seoul, he designated the country as a republic. He followed the example of Southeast Korea and became the first commander-in-chief.

North Korea, like Annan, enjoys the status of a "foreign province" in the southeastern political system.

Ten years later, it will be up to the Korean people to decide whether to become a tributary state or merge into the Central Plains.

After Yi Sun-shin appointed a group of ministers, he immediately led his troops to the Yajiang River. Chen Bing was on the banks of the Yajiang River.

After annexing Li Xun's army, Li Chengliang immediately asked his son Li Rusong to lead the Liaodong army to send troops to the Yajiang River and build a fortress on the edge of the Yajiang River to face Yi Sunshin's North Korean army across the river.

In addition, Li Chengliang also has to shoulder the important task of Shandong's defense line, and the elite of his new army team are also in Shandong.

Li Chengliang's strength is enough to swallow Henan or Shaanxi alone, but if Chen and Guo join forces, it is not something he can do if he has a good appetite.

Therefore, Li Chengliang decisively gave up his plan to annex them and slowed down his actions.

Li Chengliang first reiterated the two people's positions according to the imperial court's order, and then sent gifts to the families of the two in a private name.

Chen Yiqin and Guo Pu were relieved. It seemed that Li Chengliang was not going to attack them for the time being.

However, Chen Yiqin and Guo Pu had no intention of falling out with Li Chengliang. They also announced their support for Li Chengliang's reorganization of the Ming Dynasty and gave Li Chengliang a personal return gift.

After all the powerful local factions were solved, Li Chengliang began to solve the Ming court's problems.

Several of his decrees were explosive and caused earthquakes in the capital.

First, he disbanded the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section and Thirteenth Road. Li Chengliang gave Yan Guan two choices, one was to join the army or to resign.

This naturally caused a violent backlash. Just when everyone in the capital thought this was another huge political earthquake, the troops from the First Town under Li Chengliang entered the capital.

Elite soldiers armed with muskets broke into the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section and Thirteenth Road. They also broke into the Yanguan Office, which had a transcendent status in the Ming court's political system from the beginning. These caused countless incidents in the Ming court's political arena. The stormy officials were driven out of the official office.

The official documents of the officials were confiscated, and their personal letters were also taken away. The leaders of the officials were sent directly to the imperial edict by Shanhao with their lists.

The next day, the seven famous officials of the Ming Dynasty searched their private letters for evidence of colluding with Southeast, and then dragged them directly to Caishikou and executed them.

In the astonishment of the Ming court officials, they were completely frightened.

Even Emperor Jiajing, who launched the Great Ceremony and purged the court, also bypassed the normal system in treating Yan Guan and used royal guards and imperial guards to punish Yan Guan.

The number of direct executions of officials was very rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the political conventions of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Guan enjoyed an almost transcendent status, and even received treatment like a gold medal to avoid death.

But today Li Chengliang used his bloody corpse to tell everyone that the era of civilian politics has completely come to an end.

Those who stay in the past will inevitably be buried by history.

When they heard the news about the execution of the seven famous officials, those who had impeached Li Chunfang were frightened to death.

Ninety percent of the people directly resigned from their official positions and "voluntarily" resigned.

The remaining 10% were willing to join the army and serve as Li Chengliang's marching counselor.

Li Chengliang directly accepted the order and accepted their word list.

For those who were willing to join the army, Li Chengliang did not accept them all. Instead, he sent them to the military camp, saying that they had to pass the basic soldier assessment before they could work for the general.

These civil servants had never experienced this kind of suffering. Many of them did not even survive the first day of training. In the evening, Shanhao took a pen and paper and asked those who were willing to resign to write down their resignation lists. Several even For those who couldn't lift their arms, Shanhao would write for them directly and then put their fingerprints on it.

In this way, another 70% of the people were eliminated, and only a dozen or so officials remained.

Li Chengliang's second move was to change the Imperial College into the Capital Army Academy. The treatment of the prison students was the same as that of Yanguan. To stay and join the army, they had to pass military training. In this way, a large number of prison students were driven out of the capital.

In the third move, Shanhao directly rushed into the editorial offices of major newspapers in the capital, and then took over all the newspaper offices.

All printing presses were moved, the original "Shandong Xinbao" and all newspaper offices were merged into "Ming Pao", and all local newspapers in each province were banned.

After dealing with the three culprits who caused Li Chunfang to step down, Li Chengliang began to reorganize the Ming court.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry merged to form the Ministry of Military Aircraft, with Li Chengliang personally serving as Shangshu. This department was responsible for military training and equipment production, and was in charge of military workshops controlled by the Ming court.

The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs remained unchanged, while the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment were merged to form the Ministry of Law, which was responsible for judicial affairs.

A large number of officials in the Ming court were laid off, and the powers of the Military Aircraft Department were greatly strengthened.

Officer promotion, military training, logistics supplies, and army mobilization were all in the hands of this department, and the entire Ming court was transformed into a war department.

Su Ze saw Li Chengliang's actions and felt a sense of déjà vu.

After all civilian reforms failed, a radical military government did emerge.

However, the emergence of a strong military man does not mean that the imperial court can be united.

Li Chengliang just suppressed the conflicts within the Ming court, snatched the benefits that originally belonged to civilian officials and gave them to the military, and gained support.

Su Ze tapped his knuckles, unable to let Li Chengliang feel so comfortable.
