If the three treaties were signed by Chongzhen, Zhao Yan's future development would be unimpeded. As for the establishment of a cabinet, Zhao Yan naturally could not handle them personally.

First of all, being the chief minister of the cabinet will inevitably lead to a substantial population. Second, Zhao Yan is not a material for being a civil servant.

But Zhao Yan can remotely control the cabinet. He has found a candidate for the cabinet chief, that is Chen Zhongsheng. Regardless of whether he is willing to stand on Zhao Yan's side, at least he is a reformist. At the same time, under the premise of the "Shandong Military Privileges Contract", even if the cabinet is not remotely controlled by Zhao Yan, it will not pose a threat to him.

As for the most troublesome revision of the "Ming Dynasty Law", Zhao Yan has already completed this, but it has been sealed in the archives. Just take it out and modify it casually.

Some of the "Ming Dynasty Laws" that Zhao Yan asked someone to modify have been used in Shandong, but it is just not known to everyone in the world.

As for the revisions, most of them are carried out in the form of constitutions of various countries in later generations, and the core content is the division of rights and the division of rights of the extreme cabinet.

However, Zhao Yan did not deprive Chongzhen of his military power in the Constitution, so some changes were required to be made in the division of rights in the Ming Dynasty.

"Look at what else is there?" Zhao Yan immediately convened a staff meeting and issued two agreements and a memorandum of understanding.

"My lord, the biggest omission is the establishment of the cabinet. At the same time, after determining the cabinet members mainly based on affinities, according to the new "Ming Dynasty Law", the cabinet chief can only be re-elected for three periods, each period of four years, and the election system has not been promoted, so it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes." Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang Zhi said.

"This...well~!" Zhao Yan nodded for a moment and said, "Then he will change it to the first chief minister who can be re-elected for three periods. The seats of each party will remain unchanged within three periods. After the electoral system is improved, the cabinet election will be held."

"As for the establishment of the cabinet, I immediately called Chen Zhongsheng and asked him to select people from Shandong officials to form the Mingzhuo Party." Zhao Yan said: "Let Yan Jizu choose people from Shandong officials to form the Republican Party."

As for how to form a cabinet, Zhao Yan has the final say. He does not use the emperor to command the princes, but he has to completely limit the monarch's rights.

"Lord, there are several loopholes in the "Shandong Military Privileges Contract". They only clearly stipulate external military privileges, and internal privileges are still lacking, such as the arrest and punishment of criminals." Mao Yuanyi said to Zhao Yan after carefully reading the "Shandong Military Privileges Contract", "Since we want to control salt administration and import and export taxes, we must eradicate the original interest groups, such as the two major forces of Lianghuai Salt Merchants and Zheng's Group."

"Yes, let's add one to the "Shandong Military Privileges Contract". Shandong Military Group has the right to litigate commercial, political and military criminals." Zhao Yan added that before litigation of criminals, it is natural to arrest them, so this article also contains the right to punish military punishment. However, those who are not familiar with the "Da Ming Law" will not understand the deep meaning of this law.

The Shandong Military Privileges Contract is just a contract to prevent the cabinet from rebelling. If the cabinet can be controlled remotely by Zhao Yan, it doesn’t matter whether this privileged contract exists or not. The goal can be achieved through the cabinet.

"General, Chen Zhongsheng asked for a meeting." At this time, Zhao Yan's guards came in and reported.

"Please, please." Zhao Yan said hurriedly.

After a while, Chen Zhongsheng walked in from outside. Chen Zhongsheng came in and looked at him. Seeing Zhao Yan and a group of staff sitting there, with a lot of documents on the table, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother Shi Mao, how are you doing recently?" Zhao Yan stood up and asked with a smile.

Chen Zhongsheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not bad. Your Majesty can still listen to the reform plan."

"Haha! Sit down." Zhao Yan pulled him down and ignored his words. Instead, he took out the three laws and the revised "Ming Dynasty Law" and placed them in front of him.

Chen Zhongsheng glanced at each document briefly and said in surprise: "Do you want a constitutional monarchy?"

"Yes." Zhao Yan smiled and nodded, and said to him: "This cabinet chief minister must be Brother Shi Mao. Then you and I will join hands, you will be in charge of the rule, and I will be in charge of the army, creating a prosperous era in the Han and Tang Dynasties. I wonder what Brother Shi Mao intends?"

"Constitutionalization is naturally good, but this one..." Chen Zhongsheng pointed to Article 3 of the "Constitutional Law of the Bingzi Year" and looked very hesitant.

Zhao Yan naturally knew what he was worried about. Whenever the cabinet had military power, the emperor could abolish the cabinet at any time. Zhao Yan laughed and said, "Brother Shi Mao, there is no need to worry. If Your Majesty wants to abolish the cabinet, the Shandong Army can raise an army to protect the law and recreate the Ming Zhuo Republic."

"In this way, I'll be relieved for my brother." Chen Zhongsheng smiled, and Zhao Yan also laughed. The cabinet had no military power, so he could only rely on the force of the Shandong Army to carry out internal affairs. As for Chongzhen, he could stay quietly in the Forbidden City.

Chen Zhongsheng could naturally understand this, but he did not care too much about this aspect, as long as he could implement reforms.

In terms of reform, Chen Zhongsheng's progress is not going smoothly.

First of all, Chongzhen was not able to listen completely, but partly he listened. There were many difficulties in implementing it below, which made him feel helpless for a while.

If constitutional monarchy can be implemented, reform can be carried out forcibly.

Soon Chen Zhongsheng also joined the revision of the Constitution and the "Ming Dynasty Law". As for the establishment of the Party, all the matters were arranged by Zhao Yan.

...In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen could not fall asleep in the silence outside the city for a long time, so Yang Sichang kept kneeling outside the Qianqing Palace, but Chongzhen did not want to see anyone.

"Maybe I am the king of the fallen country of the Ming Dynasty. How can I meet my ancestors in the nine fountains?" Chongzhen thought sadly. Although he was sad, Chongzhen did not have the idea of ​​committing suicide.

Zhao Yan is not a thief, and the discipline of the Shandong army is still OK. Moreover, Zhao Yan's military admonition was under the name of clearing the emperor. Even if he entered the Forbidden City, he would only imprison him at most.

Yang Sichang knelt until midnight, but Chongzhen still disappeared, so he had to leave dejectedly.

The second is August 19th.

At dawn, the rumbling sound of cannons came again. The already ready-made second battalion rushed in through the gap in the imperial city under the cover of artillery fire.

"Support me, kill a thief and reward fifty taels of silver, and those who retreat will be killed." Yang Sichang personally supervised the army, holding the Shangfang sword and shouted behind.

Yang Sichang's supervision of the battle still had a great effect. Some generals from the Beijing camp led their soldiers and braved their artillery fire to advance, but the soldiers of the second battalion who rushed into the city had quickly formed a formation.

The musketeers shot out barrage one after another, and the rocket soldiers behind them also launched some short-range rockets. The soldiers who were charging desperately fell down in the metal barrage as if they had entered a meat grinder.

However, Yang Sichang's army led the soldiers of the Beijing camp forward from behind and launched a decisive charge towards the Second Battalion.

But the soldiers in the Beijing camp would not die, but had to surrender under the harsh military law.

However, such harsh military law has a limit without the cooperation of spiritual and ideological ideas. After nearly half an hour of massacre-style combat, the morale of the Beijing Camp was on the verge of collapse.

At this time, some musketeers in the second battalion also had some phenomena of explosion due to overheating of the barrel. The musketeers had to retreat from the front and the spearmen quickly rushed up.

The Beijing camp also lost its aggressiveness to charge and had to retreat.

The two sides began to stalemate, but the Second Battalion quickly adjusted, and new muskets quickly arrived from behind, and at the same time, they pulled more than a dozen 125mm siege cannons.

Yang Sichang began to deploy. In the half-hour battle, nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed in the Beijing camp, which was a heavy casualty, but he still had 50,000 soldiers to fight.

Among them, the most elite Yulin Guard, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, did not enter the front line.

"Help a thousand soldiers, and use them for a moment. The Zhao thief is in danger, and his heart can be punished. You only need to repel the Zhao thief's Shandong troops, and the Ming Dynasty said that reinforcements from each town can arrive. At that time, everyone will be promoted and given a title. Follow my order, those who retreat will be killed immediately. Kill the thief and reward fifty taels of silver for one person. The deceased court will give 50 taels of silver for the rest of their lives." Yang Sichang shouted to the generals of the Beijing camp with red eyes. He was blocking one, saying one, and as for when the reinforcements arrived, Yang Sichang was at a loss. According to time, the Guanning Army should have arrived long ago, but until now, the Guanning Army has not arrived in the capital.

"We swear to be loyal to the Lord."

"We swear to be loyal to the Lord."

The generals of the Beijing camp shouted, and the sound shook the sky for a moment. Even Chongzhen, who was standing on the wall of the Forbidden City, could hear it clearly. Soon the soldiers of the Beijing camp learned about Yang Sichang's latest order and regained their morale.

"Loyalty to the Lord, Yulin Guards kill you!"

The Yulin Guard took the lead in launching a charge. The soldiers of the Beijing camp followed the Yulin Guard's footsteps and rushed towards the second battalion that rushed into the imperial city like a tide.

"Prepare, ignite." The artillery commander in front saw the rushing sea of ​​people and waved the order flag vigorously.

"Boom boom boom..." More than a dozen 125mm siege cannons fired collectively in the narrow passage, and more than a dozen shells rushed into the crowd and rolled out of a bloody path.

Then the shells exploded again, and each explosion point would cause the crowd within five meters to fall down. The 125mm siege cannon had fewer shells, but the explosive power of the gunpowder was enough to kill and injure people within five meters.

Hundreds of soldiers were in front of them, holding rockets.

"Rocket, let it go."

After ordering, they immediately ignited the rocket's fuse, then held the wooden pole in hand and aimed at the rushing sea of ​​people. With a "swoosh", a large amount of smoke rushed out of the rocket's tail. The soldiers grabbed the rocket tightly in their hands for a few seconds, and then calmly released their hands at the rushing sea of ​​people.

"Ye..." The Rockets rushed out and rushed directly into the sea of ​​people. The Rockets in the sea of ​​people were running around the ground.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The explosions continued, and many soldiers in the Beijing camp were blown to the ground again.

"First row, prepare..."

The musketeers stepped forward again.

"put."

The gunshots of fried beans suddenly rang out.

"The second row...release~!"

"The third row...release~!"

"The gunner is ready to…ignite."

In the narrow passage, the firepower continued to pour out, more than a little more powerful than the firepower when entering the city. The Yulin Guard who was rushing in front of him, had not even touched the corners of the second infantry battalion, and was killed and injured by the dense firepower.

In a moment, the Yulin Guard was completely wiped out.
