Chapter 14: Brave Guard Battalion
Zhang Weixian was bitter about this flying disaster.
After returning home, Zhang Weixian depressedly blasted away all the diners who were waiting to drink and eat meat with him, and then wittily called a few Beijing camp generals, guerrillas and Qianzong to throw this burden to them.
These generals of the Beijing camp, who had followed Zhang Weixian to escort Zhu Youxiao to Fengtian Palace, sorted out the number and list of people in the camp, and worked hard all night.
The British Mansion on the fourth watch was still brightly lit, and Zhang Weixian, who was sitting in the top position to supervise, was already snoring like thunder at some point.
However, Zhu Youxiao still saw this list in Xinuan Pavilion at dawn.
Yesterday, I asked casually, and I found Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, two talents, Zhu Youxiao went back and thought about it, and found that at this time, the Yongwei Battalion in history had not yet been formed.
Many people in the Yongwei Battalion should still be working in the Beijing Battalion.
Sure enough, on the first list of generals Zhu Youxiao saw, he found Zhou Yuji and Liu Yuanbin.
Zhou Yuji is a famous general no less than Huang Degong, both of whom were born at the wrong time.
Historically, Li Zicheng led the so-called "millions" of thieves to the north, and along the way, the Ming army surrendered to the wind and changed flags.
Only Zhou Yuji's Yongwei battalion gave him a heavy blow at Ningwu Pass, and the battle was dark, and the corpses of the rogues were even piled up on the city tower, and Li Zicheng almost didn't slow down in one breath.
As for Liu Yuanbin, this kid also led the army alone during the Chongzhen period, and broke several times his own rogue in Huoshan.
Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, Liu Yuanbin, is there anything else besides these four?
Zhu Youxiao flipped for a long time, but the next name was either Zhang San or Li Si, and he didn't see any famous generals in history at all.
Zhu Youxiao, who was unwilling, stared at the list for another half an hour, and finally put down the list because his eyes were tired.
I can accidentally find that the four of them are already good, what kind of bicycle do you want, even if there are still some that you haven't found, let them develop slowly, and there will always be a time to emerge.
It's gold, and it shines everywhere.
So, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to forcibly look for it anymore, he threw the list on the imperial case, got up and said, "Wang An, follow me to the inner school field!" ”
This time it was much faster than yesterday, after all, Zhu Youxiao said that he would streamline the process, Wang An's ability was still not low, and after a while, the group arrived at the inner school.
What is surprising is that Zhang Weixian is actually directing the soldiers to practice.
Although the drill was a mess, it still made Zhu Youxiao's eyes shine, and he beat him last time, did he learn smart?
"The ministers see the emperor!" Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming, Zhang Weixian hurriedly greeted him happily, came here early in the morning and squatted, yawning sleepily, and finally waited.
"What's the matter with your eyes?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the dark circles under his eyes and almost didn't laugh.
Zhang Weixian hehehe: "Doing things for the emperor should be done." ”
"I've seen the list, and it's a good thing." Zhu Youxiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "If the Beijing camp can move, all of them are called to the inner school field." ”
Because of yesterday's accident, Zhang Weixian sent people to the mansions of the major lords in the capital early in the morning and transferred back all the soldiers of the Beijing camp who occupied their service.
Although reluctant, after all, the British boss spoke, which lord still dares to hide his secrets.
Now the number of soldiers in front of Zhu Youxiao is twice as many as yesterday, and this is also the largest number that Zhang Weixian can transfer back at present.
Occupation of military service is one of the vices of the Beijing camp, and in layman's terms, some powerful people will transfer soldiers to their own houses to build a treasury, or as a householder.
It is a truth that the magnates, who refer to both the honorable relatives and the powerful ministers, and the landlords embezzle the land of the local guards and military households.
As we all know, the turning point of Jingying was in Tumubao, and during the Chongzhen period, it was even more sluggish, and even the basic city defense could not be done.
Zhu Youxiao originally thought that it was only the forty-eighth year of Wanli, and the Beijing camp should still have the strength to fight, but at present, it seems that although it has not been completely corrupted, it is still necessary to form a new army.
After the Battle of Tumubao, Kyoying was devastated.
The pattern of the Xun Qi family in charge of the Beijing camp was completely changed, and the civilian officials of the military department began to take over the Beijing camp as the military chief.
Jiajing, Wanli, etc., have all restructured the Beijing camp for this purpose.
During the Chenghua period, the border army was transferred to Beijing, and the three battalions were changed to twelve regiments and battalions, and the elite of the border army was selected to fill the regimental battalions, and the military ministers took over.
In the year of Zhengde, tens of thousands of fronts were selected, two official halls were set up, and the battalion officers were all selected as ministers, which were the products of the royal family's attempt to regain control of the military power of the Beijing battalion.
But it was changed back and forth, but it had little effect, and the real power of the Beijing camp was still in the hands of the ministers of the military department, until the Jiajing and Wanli years, and the regimental camp and official hall system were finally abandoned.
After the Wanli reform, the command of the Jingying was finally fixed and transferred to the hands of many forces - that is, the honorable military ministers, the admiral eunuchs, and the assistant civil officials each got a piece of the pie.
As the head of the honorable relatives, the British Duke Zhang Weixian was the direct commander of the Beijing camp.
In addition, the military department sent a high-ranking official as an assistant leader, and Ouchi also sent a eunuch as a commander.
Since the civilian-government association led the Beijing camp, the phenomenon of empty salaries and corruption has become more and more serious.
Coupled with the separation of powers, Zhang Weixian, who is the direct commander, is also constrained everywhere, so in order to avoid too many troubles, he simply stopped coming.
Jingying is located in Jingshi, and next to it is the Jingshi magnates who are rich and powerful and close to the saints, so they are often "invited" by these magnates to help build the mansion.
Sun Juxiang, a military squire who has been thrown into prison, "occupy labor" and "eat empty salary" are commonplace for him.
It was a tradition of the Ming army to sometimes assist in projects from the very beginning, but it was generally for the state rather than for private individuals.
Now it's a good thing, some people have not participated in the drill all year round, but have become skilled craftsmen in the families of the major ministers.
I don't know how Emperor Yongle would feel if he appeared and watched his subordinates who swept through Annan and Saibei in the past change their majors to the engineering department.
After a short time, nearly 30,000 people stood in front of Zhu Youxiao, which was the 100,000 army reported to Emperor Taichang by Sun Juxiang, the squire of the military department a few months ago.
But to be honest, the current Jingying Zhu Youxiao feels that there is still salvation, and he looks at it with eager eyes.
Obviously, many people have heard about the fact that the Emperor of the Apocalypse personally went to camp yesterday.
Zhu Youxiao walked up to the point platform step by step, and when the twelve high-voiced Han generals stood around, he said loudly:
"All the monarchs are loyal ministers and good generals of my Ming Dynasty, I intend to rectify the Beijing camp, eliminate the old and weak, select the elite, and those who can stay, naturally everyone has a reward!"
"Those who are evaluated and evaluated will be rewarded more!"
"I am the emperor of this Ming Dynasty, you can rest assured that the reward I give will be true to my word!"
Every time Zhu Youxiao shouted, the twelve Han generals repeated, and the loud voices continued to echo in the school yard in the imperial city, and everyone became a little excited.
"When the rectification is completed, those who stay will get a piece of their own land. With these lands, you can marry a wife and have children in Beijing, and spread out your branches! ”
"Your children will receive a good military education since they were young, and they won't be able to take the old road you have walked!"
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An and said lightly: "Announce the decree!" ”
