So the officers immediately sent soldiers and took over the entire Xuzhou city defense and brought Xuzhou under Liu Pei's rule.

When Fan Hualong woke up the next day, he was amused and laughed after hearing the news. He turned around and rectified the military discipline and directly apologized to Liu Pei. But Liu Pei didn't care about this. Anyway, cities like Xuzhou are just meat on their mouths, but they didn't move for the time being because they were afraid of stimulating the court. If you want to swallow it, you can swallow it at any time.

Now, seeing that the court's reaction did not seem to be able to fight against him, Liu Pei agreed. However, Fan Hualong had to be interrogated by the judge of the bureau. This matter became a joke in Liu Pei's system.

With the precedent in Xuzhou, civil and military officials from all over the country let go. In addition, Liu Pei's order was also passed to various places, clarifying and stating that if officials from all over the country were willing to hand over peacefully, they would take over directly. Therefore, major cities fell into Liu Pei's hands one after another.

Like others, officials at all levels in the city still have to go to Shandong to learn the rules first, and then assign positions according to the assessment. Although those officials are unwilling, they have to bow their heads under the low eaves and have to go to Shandong to study.

But there is a group that is completely amused! That is the clerks of all sizes!

Liu Pei's territory has expanded, and the current officials are still enough. But in the long run, it is not enough. Rangers are after Liu Pei is preparing to unify the country.

What should I do if there is not enough manpower? Then I can only search for manpower everywhere. So Liu Pei made a slogan that only by raising the talent and using it only by measuring it! This actually opened the door to promotion for those clerks at the bottom!

In the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of scholars became officials after being admitted to Jinshi. They either studied how to make their superiors get promoted and make money, or they sang and danced lightly every day, and had no intention of governing the area.

Therefore, most officials know nothing about practice, and the governance of the place depends on the teachers around them and clerks of all sizes. The main source of these clerks is scholars who cannot pass the imperial examination or the Jinshi.

Once they become clerks, they will never have any further path to rise and can only use money as their goal in life! He exploits the common people everywhere,

Privacy fraud is one of the culprits of local chaos.

However, when it comes to governance, they are many times better than those great men from Jinshi! After Liu Pei put forward the slogan of talent only, a large number of teachers and clerks gave up their original positions and went to Liu Pei's tent to find a way out. After Liu Pei's detailed assessment, many talents were really discovered!

As for whether these people will continue to take advantage of tricks after taking office, Liu Pei doesn't care. Because Liu Pei has already explained to them clearly that the salary given to you is extremely high, so he just requires you not to go through the wrong path! As long as you leave, there is no need to discuss killing the whole family!

However, these people were promoted, fearing that Liu Pei would regret it that day, so they used all their skills to fulfill Liu Pei's request, so they would not dare to do anything! In addition, Liu Pei found more than ten people who were brave and spread the bloody heads of the whole family all over the world. These people finally knew that their wives were not joking and began to work honestly.

In addition, Liu Pei also split a group of people from the Intelligence Bureau and became his official integrity department, specializing in the investigation of officials, so they became extremely well-behaved under high salaries and pressure. Helping Liu Pei settled the place in just two or three months!

As for Li Zicheng, he was unstoppable once he moved! At this time, Li Zicheng had conquered Chengtian (now Zhongxiang, Hubei) and established a regime. He was under his command of one million powerful troops! When he was full of confidence, the cavalry received the support of Liu Pei. After several months of cultivation, Li Zicheng was even more confident and prepared to do something big!

But at this time, he received the excitement from Zhang Xianzhong again! Because in May, Zhang Xianzhong captured Hanyang. At this time, Wuchang City was empty. On the 30th day, Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang and his nearby towns and established a country in Wuchang!

Zhang Xianzhong accepted the suggestion and set up five prefectures and six ministries to cast the treasures of the Western King. Wuchang was changed to Tianshu Prefecture and Jiangxia was Shangjiang County. He occupied the palace of the King of Chu, and established the Shangshu Governor and other officials, and began to open the imperial examinations to recruit scholars.

Zhang Xianzhong's actions greatly stimulated Li Zicheng. He immediately decided to raise troops and conquer many places one after another.

On October 3rd, Li Zicheng conquered Tongguan. On October 12th, Li Zicheng conquered Xi'an. A large area of ​​land fell into Dashun's control!

It can be seen that Liu Pei’s support for him is effective!

As Li Zicheng's war went smoothly, the people who were planted by Liu Pei in the rebel army also began to move.

These spies were originally involved in the rebel army as leaders of small bandits. Although their status was not high, they all reached the middle level. They all had a group of troops under their command.

As their leaders, what they say will naturally be understood and spread by their subordinates, not to mention that what these people say is what everyone hopes to hear. Therefore, it quickly spread during the night that the King of Breaking the Chuang should follow the destiny and ascend the throne to the emperor.

This statement cannot be stopped as soon as it spreads. What's more, Li Zicheng and the others did not want to stop this limelight. After all, people have the idea of ​​going to a higher place. If the person you follow is the emperor, wouldn't you mean that you may also be granted the title of marquis and dukes and change your party?

Moreover, these spies also occasionally vented the big leaders and lobbled them to encourage Li Zicheng to become emperor. So when Li Zicheng conquered Xi'an, this trend reached its peak!

On the second day after Li Zicheng conquered Xi'an, everyone was drinking and having fun in the Yin'an Hall of the vassal king. Everyone was already a little drunk in the hazy, and the atmosphere was even more lively! Especially when they saw the graceful palace maids dancing in the venue, everyone's faces were blushed by the fire! But they could not see the fearful expressions in the eyes of the palace maids.

This cannot be blamed for being afraid of the palace maids. They were just ordinary palace maids and lived a dull life every day. But one day, countless soldiers rushed into the palace of the vassal kings and killed most of the people in the palace!

Many sisters were directly kidnapped and assigned to leaders of all sizes. The only ones left were left because they needed to dance and have fun for the leaders!

These palace maids had just left for a rest after dancing. A small leader staggered into the hall with a wine bowl.
Chapter completed!
