Chapter 178 Military power in hand

With the amount of silver revealed by Emperor Chongzhen as a base, Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting proposed several adaptations to the Jianlu situation.

There are two types of cavalry: light cavalry and heavy cavalry.In addition, there are two types of light cavalry and mounted infantry who are good at riding and shooting.

Among them, the role of heavy cavalry is needless to say, of course it is used to charge and break the enemy's formation.

Light cavalry who are good at riding and shooting are mainly used to contain harassment and chase and defeat the enemy.

Cavalry infantry is mainly used for maneuvering, and can be used to protect or seize important places at any time, and is used by one's own army.

Artillery battalions should also be formed, ranging from Hongyi cannons to the smallest tiger crouching cannons, to meet different operational needs.Based on the fact that Jianlu already has artillery of varying weights, it is best for the Ming army to have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, at least to win, and to consume each other, it must also achieve the goal of exhausting the enemy.

The gunners also need a large number of configurations. Among them, the gunners must be well-built, and there must be no situation where the gun explodes as soon as it is used.

In addition, a car camp should also be established, of course, there should be a distinction between heavy and light car camps.The so-called heavy-vehicle battalion is naturally the kind that can carry heavy artillery, and the vehicles cannot be pulled by manpower, but need to be pulled by animal power.This kind of mobility will be worse, and you can move with the army.However, the light vehicle battalion is equipped with relatively light artillery, which can be pulled by people, or can move faster with less animal power.

Naturally, there must also be troops with cold weapons, such as pikemen, the most common but very practical troops.However, spearmen must carry bows and arrows. When they are in battle, the spears are inserted into the ground, and they shoot as many arrows as possible quickly, and then take the spears in their hands to meet the enemy.

Based on this, the army under the Yumajian, in addition to the Yongwei Battalion, set up a Panshi Battalion and a Hussar Battalion.To put it bluntly, the Yongwei Camp is an infantry camp, while the Panshi Camp is a vehicle camp, and the Hussar Camp is naturally a cavalry camp.Among them, the Yongwei Battalion has the largest number of people, with more than 1 people; the Panshi Battalion is next, with more than 4 people, and the Hussar Battalion has less than [-] people.A total of about [-] people.

King Qin's army now has only about 3 soldiers who can fight, even including the original Yongwei battalion, and there is still a shortfall of [-].The framework was established, and it was also discussed which battalion was most suitable for each army in the original King Qin's army. However, the commander-in-chief of each battalion was vacant. They had no right to decide, but they would mark it according to their proficiency and military achievements.Just like that, after two days of busy work on the whole adaptation plan, it finally reported to the imperial court.

And Emperor Chongzhen was actually busy here too. He ordered the six ministries of the cabinet to discuss rewards for Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting, but there was no result and there was a lot of quarrel.Even on Emperor Chongzhen's desk, there are many memorials to impeach these three leading officials in the frontier. Naturally, there are reasons to be found.

For example, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou did not come to King Qin until the end of December.
As for Lu Xiangsheng's reasons, it's easier to find. How many people and supplies were plundered by the Jianlu, as well as the fallen vassals. Countless people were harmed by Jianlu.

Some people even impeached the three of them for being too tolerant of Wu Fu, which is bad intentions, and suggested that the factory guards strictly investigate!
……

Regarding these memorials, Emperor Chongzhen didn't bother to refute them, and told Chen Baoting and other personal servants that for all such memorials, write down the names of the memorials, and the memorials will not be published.

In addition, there are other memorials, which are local officials along the line from the capital to Tianjin, and immediately said that the Jian captives have retreated and the food is in short supply. If the people are not dealt with, something will happen!
Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen ordered to allocate part of the food that had been raised as military rations before.In addition, let all the yamen, including the household department and factory guards, find ways to gather as much food as possible.

However, the news that came back was not good. Food prices were so expensive that many people in the capital could not afford food and were starving.

When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this matter, the memorial from Lu Xiangsheng and others came up.

After reading it, he found that the general content of their memorial was actually similar to Qi Jiguang's idea of ​​forming an army when he went to Jizhen for training.After pondering for a while, he filled in the name of the chief soldier with the imperial pen.The promotion of generals is directly decided by the universe without going through the Ministry of War.After all, this is an army under the jurisdiction of the Yumajian, and the outer court has no control over it.

Therefore, sealed

The Yongwei Battalion has four general soldiers, namely Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Yang Guozhu, and Lu Da.

The hussars battalion had two chief soldiers, the chief soldier in charge of the heavy armored cavalry was the former Datong chief soldier Hu Dawei; the one in charge of the light cavalry was He Renlong.

There are two general soldiers in the Panshi camp. The main soldier, that is, the chief soldier of the Cheying headquarters, is Sun Yingyuan;

Among them, Lu Da was originally just a guerrilla, and became the last of the four generals of the Yongwei Battalion. First, he led the Tianxiong Army to the death. up.In addition, Lu Xiangsheng was also honored. Although this was not clearly stated, many people could guess it.

Zhou Yuji and He Renlong were not commander-in-chiefs at first, but they both contributed a lot in King Qin's war.Among them, Zhou Yuji made the first contribution in the battle of Tianjin by blocking the reinforcements of the rebels on the south bank of the Wei River; while He Renlong made a great contribution in the first battle of the Qin army, including the battle under the city and the encirclement and annihilation of [-] Tatar infantry. He made many contributions during the war.Therefore, both of them were appointed general soldiers by Emperor Chongzhen.

Cao Bianjiao, Hu Dawei, and Yang Guozhu were originally commander-in-chief, but they were all local commander-in-chief. This time they were transferred to the commander-in-chief of the emperor's guards, which can be regarded as an upgrade.In terms of official titles, he was also granted the title of Governor and Tongzhi.

As for Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, they originally made great contributions to suppressing bandits in the south, and they also participated in the battle of King Qin, so they were awarded the title of Zuo Dudu.

In this way, the military restructuring on the side of the Yumajian can be regarded as a result.

Wang Chengen served as the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse, under his command the three armies of Yongwei Camp, Panshi Camp and Hussars Camp. The commanders were Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, Yang Guozhu, Lu Da, Cao Bianjiao, Hu Dawei and He Renlong. Chief soldier.

In fact, there are many things involved in the transformation of the local army into the emperor's powerful force.For example, all the main family members of the soldiers must write the document and be transferred to the capital.One is the reunion of relatives; the other also means hostages, which has always been the rule.

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to worry about these things, he just handed them over to the Ministry of War.What he is concerned about at this time is the completion of the reorganization of King Qin's army and its entry into the Yumajian barracks.This is the first time he entered the Yumajian barracks, and he put a lot of thought into it.

They were still wearing the original military uniforms, but every soldier of King Qin's army marched into the capital where martial law was imposed by the soldiers of the five city soldiers and horse commanders one by one.

Seeing that this army has become a strong army of the Son of Heaven, the soldiers of the Five Cities Bing Ma Si all showed envious eyes.But in their hearts, they are also convinced. As long as they are asked to fight Jianlu, they must not have the guts, and they may collapse halfway.

And the common people in the capital, who came over on both sides of the street after hearing the news, stood behind the soldiers of the Wucheng soldiers and Ma Sijun, all looked at this army with a smile.They very much welcome the transformation of this King Qin army into a powerful army of the Son of Heaven.After all, with such a strong army in the capital, the safety of the capital is guaranteed. Unlike before, everyone was panicked after Jianlu entered the pass.

Many active young people even shouted words such as "mighty, good, powerful" in the crowd.

Seeing the reactions of the people in the capital, the soldiers of King Qin's army couldn't be more proud of themselves.Even the general soldiers in front of each battalion were very happy.For example, He Renlong, a man from Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province, has a bearded face and a mouth that has never been closed.

You can't blame him for losing his composure. It was just a military exercise in a remote place. Who would have thought that one day he would become a general in the emperor's powerful army, known as the commander-in-chief.He Renlong thought about how he could not be happy every time he risked his life on the battlefield and finally achieved his current prominence!
The army soon arrived at the barracks of the Yumajian. Huang Degong, the leader, was familiar with the road, but he was taken aback when he first entered the camp.I saw Jin Yiwei inside the camp gate, which meant that the emperor was probably here.

Sure enough, Huang Degong soon discovered that Shengjia was already there.So, he immediately calmed down and his expression became serious.Of course, it wasn't just him. Those who came later, like him, put away their expressions on the street after discovering that the emperor was already in the barracks.

There were nearly 3 horses, except for the occasional sound of the horses, there was only the sound of the collision of armor, other than that, there was no sound, and all the soldiers lined up quietly and quickly.

There is no doubt that the emperor fulfilled his original promise and paid considerable attention to them.In this regard, they can only show themselves with their elite appearance.

When they finished queuing up, Emperor Chongzhen appeared in front of the general platform, and all the soldiers immediately focused their attention on the emperor.There was a kind of fanaticism in the eyes they stared at the emperor.This kind of fanaticism started from King Qin, appeared little by little, and finally reached the point of this fanaticism.

Emperor Chongzhen also felt the fanatical eyes of the soldiers below.He was very pleased about this, and felt that all the hard work he had put in, and all the thought and energy he had put in for them, was worth it.

It was not until this time that Emperor Chongzhen could confirm that he really had control of the military. At least the capital's most elite military force, which was most capable of fighting, was firmly in his hands.

This control is not because the eunuch in the palm of the Royal Horse Guard is tested by history and has a relationship with Wang Chengen, but because everyone in this army only has eyes for him as the emperor.No matter who it is, if you want to confuse this kind of army to do things that are not good for him, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

With this confidence, Emperor Chongzhen had the confidence to attack the Shanxi merchant forces.In this move, all the civil servants and military generals who colluded with Shanxi merchants must be wiped out with a thunderous force, without worrying about their counterattack.

Without this army, Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to imagine who should be sent to Shanxi to catch Shanxi merchants, and those generals who colluded with Shanxi merchants.

There is no reliable army, but sending any ready-made army, or yamen, such as factory guards, cannot guarantee that no news will be leaked.

Without an elite army, which army is capable of overwhelming the army in Shanxi?It is okay for factory guards to arrest individual people, but collusion between government and businessmen, especially those with the local army, is not enough at all.

Once the news of the arrest leaked out, Shanxi merchants and local army generals got the news, and absconded with money, it was not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see.If it is worse, directly guard the city, and then seduce the Mongols who came to Jianlu or outside the pass, maybe the whole of Shanxi will be gone.If Shanxi was occupied by Jianlu, then Jianlu would live in a condescending place where the tiger looked down on the capital, and the Ming Dynasty might have to move the capital.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly: "I have just decreed to bestow General Qi as Duke Wu Yi, why?"

Hearing this, the chief soldiers were all fine. The general soldiers standing in front of the various formations were stunned when they heard this, and soon came back to their senses, knowing that there should be only one general soldier Qi that the emperor was referring to. People, that is Qi Jiguang who became famous during the Jiajing period.

These general soldiers naturally admired Qi Jiguang's name for a long time.But they also knew that Qi Jiguang was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown to die in depression. The ending was not good.

In the past, the military generals fell to such a point, in fact, they are all used to it.Because military commanders are on the battlefield, there will be civil officials holding back, they have to be under the jurisdiction of civil officials, and they have no status at all. If they are attacked by civil officials, they will have no power to fight back.

But now, they heard from the emperor that Qi Jiguang was bestowed the title of duke by Duke Wu Yi. Although it was only a posthumous honor, it showed the emperor's attitude towards generals!

Thinking of this, they were suddenly moved again, and at the same time saw that there should be a real opportunity to be knighted waiting for them.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect them to think so much, but after asking the question, he answered himself: "Wu Yigong is the God of War in my Ming Dynasty. He is invincible and invincible. The battle damage was extremely small. I hope that one day, your army can do the same, and there will no longer be such a thing as killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred yourself. Therefore, I will come to see it from time to time, and I hope you will wait more Take Lord Wu Yi as an example and practice well. I hope that when the imperial court wipes out the Liaodong Jian captives, I can still see each of you!"

This army is actually just a decoration for Wang Chengen.As far as his ability is concerned, it is impossible to command this army.On the other hand, Emperor Chongzhen was determined to hold the military power in his hands, learn from the Taizu and become the ancestors, with gold and iron horses, and conquer powerful enemies from all directions. Therefore, the military camp was naturally coming.

In addition, there is actually another very important reason, that is, he has a bugging system.In this way, when the two armies are fighting, as long as they observe the enemy's position from a distance and spread out the seeds of eavesdropping, it means that the movement of the enemy here is basically able to predict things like a god. It's easier to be targeted.

This system is not like the golden finger that has a book of chat groups in later generations. It can tell the news to the frontline generals in real time through chat.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had to be in the army to understand the enemy's situation at the first time and take corresponding measures.

At this time, the soldiers of King Qin's army were very happy to hear that the emperor would visit often.Under the eyes of the emperor every day, who would dare to think anything about this army!
 It's Kawen today, and I just finished writing it now.I will go out for a day tomorrow, but I will finish writing a chapter before going out, and try to update a chapter after I come back.
