I'm really not the carpenter emperor

In this way, there is an excuse to dispose of the generals at will, and it also avoids another war in the interior, which will cause people to lose their lives and add disasters to the people.

When these people are transferred out, Shanxi and Shaanxi will basically be clean.

But since then, the result has been that the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, which have always been important military bases, have experienced the three major expeditions of Wanli, and after the two major expeditions of Liaodong and Southwest during the Apocalypse Dynasty, their military strength is seriously insufficient.

The military strength in the interior is seriously empty. If there is another chaos, the imperial court will be beyond its reach, and it will easily turn into a prairie fire.

However, Zhu Xieyuan knew these things in his heart, but he couldn't do it now, because this time he had to go out with the army, because only in this way could those people who were transferred out be honest.

The next day, a fast horse galloped into the town of Datong.

"The governor issued an order that the Datong army should not move lightly. When the army leaves the pass, Zhang Wanbang will lead the Datong army to station in Xi'an, recruit troops, and expand armaments!"

Zhang Wanbang led a group of generals half-kneeling on the ground, issued orders with both hands, and said loudly: "The last general Zhang Wanbang, obey the governor's military order!"

After getting up, the Datong army was in an uproar.

This time, when they heard that they were going to leave the pass to serve as slaves, the Datong army was very excited, and they all planned to gear up and do a big job, but many people went back and forth to check the list of generals who were transferred out of the customs from Shanxi and Shanxi, but they did not see the Datong army. One person is very dissatisfied.

However, Zhu Xieyuan is Zhu Xieyuan after all, and his prestige in the army is very high. As long as he hasn't left, he can hold the place.

Even the Datong Army didn't dare to utter a single word of criticism.

"Governor, what does this mean? Even the gang of idiots in charge of water transportation have been transferred out of the customs. How can we leave our Datong army alone?"

"That's right, who is going to reason with this!"

"This time is going out to fight Jiannu, a once-in-a-century opportunity, if you miss this time, you will regret it for the rest of your life, I don't care, I will go out to fight Jiannu!"

Zhang Wanbang sat on it and thought about it carefully, but he didn't understand it for a while.

That's right, the gang of waste from the water transport can be transferred out of the pass, and the combat effectiveness of his Datong army is obvious to all, so why did he leave himself alone.

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't help feeling a little upset.

It was none other than Zhu Xieyuan's confidant, the secretary, who delivered the order. He delivered the order, pulled Zhang Wanbang to the side, and said with a smile:

"Be quiet here."

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Wanbang's tone seemed a little impatient, probably because of Zhu Xieyuan's face, he didn't turn around and leave.

The clerk still had a bright smile on his face: "Marshal Zhang, the Governor knows that you have such thoughts, so he sent an officer to inform you."

"This time the guards were dispatched to leave the customs, following His Majesty's order, to rectify the guards. It is not enough to check the military camps, we need to go to the old to welcome the new."

"Going to the old and welcoming the new?" Although Zhang Wanbang said that his political vision is not very good, but when he heard these four words, he immediately reacted and said:

"What does the governor mean to send these people out to die?"

"It's not entirely true." The clerk did not continue to explain, but only said: "Now Marshal Zhang finally understands the deep meaning of the governor's move?"

"Understood, fully understood!" Zhang Wanbang sighed sincerely, the governor is still the governor, and Jiang is still old and spicy.

What Zhu Xieyuan meant was that he wanted to keep himself in the Northwest Township. He led the group of people out of the customs and dealt with them uniformly. This is a good way.

You know, when you arrive in Liaodong, you can't help these soldiers and generals. None of the accompanying Beijing army, Liao army, and Xuanfu army are good people, and they are all absolutely loyal to His Majesty today.

The Weisuo army broke ground on the heads of these frontier commanders, and it is afraid that before they can make a move, they will be regarded as free military merits and put down.

Although the result disappointed him, it was for the sake of Daming Zhongxing's great cause after all. Zhang Wanbang felt better, walked back to the lobby, and stopped:

"It's all live!"

When the words fell to the ground, all the generals of the Datong Army fell silent and stood on both sides.

Zhang Wanbang stood at the head, and said in a deep voice: "This is the governor's order. From now on, I don't want to hear a single word of no, and everything will be done in accordance with the governor's order."

"Do you understand everything?!"

All the generals of the Datong Army trembled and shouted in unison:

"Follow the commander-in-chief's order!"

Chapter 9 and One Apocalypse Eight Years

It is impossible for the common people not to know about the frequent mobilization of soldiers and horses in the imperial court.

Even so, there were no major disturbances in the local area, and the mobilized imperial troops were generally restrained by governors from all over the country, which was reassuring.

The seventh year of the apocalypse passed in such an uneventful manner. Due to the mobilization of too many troops, starting from Zhu Xieyuan's order, it was not until February of the eighth year of the apocalypse that the soldiers and horses in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces completed the initial "rotation and garrison". .

It has to be said that the so-called rotation of defense and stationing proposed by He Shijin, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, seems to be a better method now.

A burst of chaotic footsteps came from the streets of Xi'an City, and the people and pedestrians came to both sides of the road consciously.

"Hoo ho ho..."

Accompanied by the rapid sound of horseshoes, a group of cavalry stationed in Xi'an was mobilized out of the city.

Although the imperial court has long had a rule that no whips are allowed to run through the streets in non-emergency situations in the city, but now, after all, it is the year of Tianqi, and no one has long abided by this rule.

For the commander of the army, if he committed a crime, he committed a crime. No one would put himself on the table for punishment just because he rode a horse for a few steps in the city.

At most, Zhu Xieyuan reprimanded him a few words.

But even someone like Zhu Xieyuan wouldn't say too much about this kind of thing.

"These people are gone."

"Yeah, I hope they never come back."

After the cavalry, there is a long exit team.

These officers and soldiers have now put on new-style military uniforms, but because they have not been trained all year round and have not experienced any major battles, they still look crooked.

Even so, with so many officers and soldiers stepping onto the street together, the movement they caused was still shocking.

The people on the side of the road chatted with each other, and everyone's faces were full of joy.

"I heard that the imperial court sent new soldiers and horses to guard against them. It's that Marshal Zhang from Datong." A businessman said while drinking.

"Datong Army?" A farmer who was temporarily resting here was shocked when he heard the words, and then his face was full of joy, "If it is true that Marshal Zhang is here, then we will have a good life."

"What do you mean?" The businessman was confused.

A waiter served the tea, wiped the table next to him, and smiled courteously: "Is the official from Jiangnan?"

The businessman was taken aback, and said, "It's from Suzhou, how do you know?"

Xiao Er wiped the table and put the tea set on, then turned around and said, "If you're from the north, you have to know about the current Datong Army."

"Marshal Zhang's Datong Army has strict military discipline, and has always treated the people without any offense. We hope that these soldiers will leave quickly and replace them with the official army of the court."

The businessman smiled, "Genuine officers and soldiers? Aren't these all officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and there are still rumors of genuine and counterfeit?"

"I think these officers and soldiers can't finish their journey out of the city for a while. There are probably tens of thousands of people! You sit down, you all sit down. I'll make the tea for today."

At this moment, the store owner came out, a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a robe, with a smile all over his face, "Oh, the guest officer in Suzhou is very rich, may I ask which one is the master?"

The businessman smiled slightly, and placed a silver ingot on the table, as if it was as light as a feather, and three words floated out of his mouth.

"Huang Huatang."

"Huanghuatang!" After all, the store owner can open a shop on a bustling road like Xi'an. He has some basic contacts and knowledge. His face was shocked, and he asked in disbelief:

"Is it the owner of the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

Huang Huatang smiled, "Then I want to ask you, is there anyone in the world who dares to pretend to be the helm of the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

"That's natural, that's natural..." The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, "Boss Huang, if you come to the small shop, it really makes our place flourish!"

"Hey, it's vulgar to say these polite words again. You haven't replied to me yet. What are the real and fake officers and soldiers that the people are talking about nowadays?"

The shopkeeper asked for instructions, then carefully sat aside and said:

"It's nothing else. The common people are very simple. Now some soldiers don't do anything. If they are good at bullying Liangshan, they are fake officers and soldiers."

"And those newly recruited by the imperial court are all selected from the people with families and children who know the basics and have strict military discipline. They are the real officers and soldiers."

"I see, it seems that the common people are not confused..."

After Huang Huatang finished speaking, he took a sip, and suddenly saw the army team stop, got up to look, but saw that there was some congestion at the city gate.

"What's the matter?"

Before the shopkeeper could answer, there were discussions on both sides of the street. I didn't know who it was, and shouted excitedly.

"It's Marshal Zhang, the Datong Army has arrived!"

"The official army is here!"

In the past, if someone called out some genuine and counterfeit officers and soldiers, the generals of the guards would have a good fight at least, but today they dare not, at most they just stared twice, silently ruthless in their hearts, waiting for Lao Tzu to lead the troops Came back from outside the customs.

The reason, of course, was the world-renowned strong army just outside the city.

Regardless of the strange cheers from the people on the street, the generals trotted to the city gate and bowed to the Datong soldiers riding on tall horses.

"I've seen the handsome man, why did he come so soon?"

Song Li, the commander-in-chief of Jingyang in Xi'an Prefecture, is their leader, and now he has noticed some tricks in the court's transfer of them to leave the customs this time, but even though he said that, he dared not say more.

"Didn't you say that mobilizing troops and reorganizing military supplies, at least not until March this year?"

Zhang Wanbang held the reins of the horse with one hand, looked at the long line of officers and soldiers, and looked at these crooked soldiers and ruffians, he couldn't help feeling worried.

Fortunately, the intention of the imperial court this time was to temporarily transfer these people outside the pass for rectification. Otherwise, if they were allowed to join the battle, there might be another Battle of Salhu.

The Song Li in front of him doesn't have a very good name, he's just a miscellaneous general soldier, and there are eight or nine such general soldiers in Xi'an Mansion.

But he is different, Song Li is also in charge of the water transportation affairs of Xi'an Prefecture, which is a typical position with a low position but a lot of power.

Water transportation is the most important thing. Although there is an imperial decree and the righteousness of the crusade against the slaves, Zhu Xieyuan's transfer of water transport troops to leave the customs this time is still somewhat unreasonable.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for water transport troops to go out to fight. Zhu Xieyuan's approach has aroused a lot of discussion in the local area.

But it's just a discussion, Zhu Xieyuan's prestige in the army of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is still unmatched.

Zhang Wanbang also guessed that the governor sent Song Li out of the customs because he definitely didn't intend to let them come back. Thinking of this, he naturally didn't make a good face.

He said coldly: "Oh, I'm going to come anyway, the frontier is fine, and the Mongolian tribes have surrendered to the dynasty, so it's better to come earlier."

Song Li could only smile foolishly, then turned around and said, "Then I will bring the commander into the city to inspect the city's military equipment and see if there is anything to buy."

"No need." Zhang Wanbang resolutely refused, "Just lead your troops out of Ningwu Pass, and when you arrive in Jifu, there will naturally be Governor Chen of the Yongwei Battalion and a British bus to pick you up."

"Right now, begging for thieves is a serious matter. Anything else can be used for crimes and meritorious deeds. You don't have to worry. This commander is not here to investigate these things."

Zhang Wanbang's words were so clear, but Song Li, who had prepared a lot of excuses, couldn't fix it for a while. He was overjoyed, and he didn't expect such a good thing.

"Since the commander-in-chief got straight to the point, the last general won't say much, please enter the city!"

Chapter 9 The New System of the Guard

Although this time the rotation of the defense and the slaves who came out of the customs rushed together, things were a bit strange, but the generals of the guards were all in a mess.

Especially after the reorganization, the power of the guards in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is not as good as before. Even Song Li can only nod and bow in front of a nine-sided commander like Zhang Wanbang, let alone the rest of the people.

For the sake of local stability, Zhang Wanbang still kept an eye out and showed Song Li some good looks. After entering the city, he didn't intend to check the status of the military equipment immediately.

In this way, the generals of the guards were also relieved, and happily went to Taiyuan City.

The officers and soldiers of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will gather there, and like the officers and soldiers of other provinces, they will be stationed in the Tongzhou area, waiting for the next step of the imperial court.

Under Zhu Xieyuan and Zhang Wanbang's "one town, one adjustment", there were no major disturbances in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Only a few thousand households mutinied, but it quickly subsided.

Such small things are basically insignificant now.

Due to the existence of Yuan Keli and Zhang Pan, a famous Haiphong general, Shandong is roughly the same as Shanxi and Shaanxi.

As for Huguang and Henan, there were several occasions when officers and soldiers of the guards gathered to oppose, but they were resolved one by one by Huguang soldier Fu Zonglong and Sun Chuanting, who was suppressing bandits in Henan.

All in all, this time the imperial court mobilized the troops of the guards from all over the country to go out of the customs, just coaxing and deceiving, so that if there is one thing that can be missed, one thing will be missed.

As long as they arrive in Jifu, it's not what they say.

……

Beginning in October last year and continuing until the end of February in the eighth year of the Apocalypse, this massive troop deployment is finally coming to an end.

Although the rotation of defense is still under the dispatch of the governors of various places, the situation of the five provinces north of the south of the Yangtze River has been clearly placed on Zhu Youxiao's case.

For many years, the emperor of Ming Dynasty has never been so familiar with the situation of the world in his hands, even though this is only half of the world on the table.

"Shanxi has [-] troops, and Shandong has [-] troops to prepare for the Japanese army's rotation. Huguang has [-] troops, and Henan has [-] troops."
