Chapter 256: A Situation of Turmoil
The Ming Dynasty had a total of hundreds of guards, the structure of the army was different from other dynasties, it was a thousand households under the jurisdiction of the military guard, a hundred households under the jurisdiction of a hundred households, a hundred households under the general flag, a small flag under the general flag, a small flag under the general banner, and the small flag was the smallest official.
It sounds familiar, exactly the same as the establishment of Jinyiwei. In fact, Jinyiwei is also one of the military systems, but Jinyiwei is more special, it is not under the leadership of the military department, but is directly appointed by the emperor to govern the ministers, mainly responsible for the guard of the palace, the emperor's escort and other matters.
Due to its frequent activities, Jinyiwei has a relatively large reputation, and is collectively known as the imperial eagle dog together with Dongchang. But there is an essential difference between Jinyiwei and Dongchang, simply put, Jinyiwei is a minister, Dongchang is a slave, and the two are not the same.
A guard of the Ming Dynasty governed five institutes, with a full capacity of 5,600 people, but there are also special circumstances, such as Jinyi Wei, there are five thousand households in the inner city of the Beijing Division alone, and all the Jinyi captains in the country include Lux Shi, a total of tens of thousands of people, which can be called the first guard of the Ming Dynasty.
The number of people is enough, so Jinyiwei is extremely arrogant and domineering on weekdays, as long as someone dares to make a move, Jinyiwei will summon a group of captains to come out to participate in the battle. The commanders of other guards can only be called generals, but the commanders of Jinyi guards can be called handsome, so officials in the DPRK and China generally call Mou Bin Mou Shuai.
Of course, there are also officials who don't have a good sense of Jinyiwei, and they won't call Mu Bin handsome, and scold him behind his back, reckless and so on.
The command organ of the military guard is called the Command Envoy Division, with one commander, two commanders and two people in the third rank, four people in command from the third grade, two people in the fourth rank of the guard, one person from the fifth grade, one person from the seventh rank governor, one person from the eighth rank official, and one ambassador and deputy envoy from the ninth grade, each performing its own duties and being responsible for each level.
Cao Wei is now the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a newly promoted official, theoretically ranked fourth to eighth in the Jinyi Guard, although it is only the fourth grade, but it is hung up on the name of the Jinyi Guard, and it can be regarded as a real official in the court.
One thousand households has ten hundred households under its jurisdiction, and there are 1,000 soldiers; There is one person in a thousand households and two people in a five-grade sub-thousand household, and there may not be a deputy thousand households, which is mainly determined by different places. There are ten positive six-grade hundred households below the thousand-hundred
One hundred households has two general flags under its jurisdiction and 100 soldiers; One person from one hundred households is set up in one hundred households with six products, and one person from one hundred households with six products. The general flag has jurisdiction over five small flags, with 50 soldiers, and the small flag has jurisdiction over 10 military households.
The guards of the Ming Dynasty were divided into internal guards and external guards, and the internal guards were divided into Beijing battalions and pro-army capital guards, and the Beijing battalions were divided into Nanjing and Beijing camps, with a total of 35 guards, mainly responsible for the garrison of the Beijing division.
There were a total of 21 guards responsible for guarding Nanjing, with a total of 120,000 people, including various auxiliary soldiers, and about 250,000 soldiers and horses in the whole of Nanjing. Moreover, the Wei Guogong of Nanjing in the past dynasties theoretically controlled dozens of guards in the south, so it is not a lie for Old Master Xu to often say that he has an army of 600,000.
Now that Old Man Xu has just passed away, the military spirit is unstable, if there is any mutiny, it will be a big accident, so Old Man Xu has not yet come out of the funeral, Xu Pengju put on armor and inspected the barracks.
In the tent of the Chinese army, Xu Pengju looked at the commanders of the various armies standing below with a pale face, and said angrily: "Why didn't the three commanders come?" ”
A majestic man hugged his fists and said: "Little grandfather, Zhou Yun, the commander of Wu Xiang's right guard, Wu Fei, the commander of Wu Dewei, and Zhang He, the commander of Yongqing's left guard, have not led the army to practice in the past few days, and they gather in the Wu Dewei army tent all day long to drink and have fun......"
Xu Pengju said angrily: "The generals will go with Bengong to see what the three of them want!" ”
More than ten people arrived at the Wudewei military tent, and sure enough, they saw three big men in disheveled clothes drinking, and what made everyone even more pale-colored was that there were still a few prostitutes in the tent who were drinking with them.
"Yo, Grandpa Xu is here, come and have fun with me......"
Xu Pengju felt that he was about to explode, and said sharply: "This is the military camp, do you know what you are doing?" If you are so bold and reckless, you should be beheaded according to military law! ”
The smiles on the faces of the two big men paused, and without a trace, they pushed the prostitute in their arms to the side. The short-haired middle-aged man sitting in the middle drank calmly and calmly, not at all stunned.
Behind Xu Peng, a commander scolded: "Wu Fei, you are also a stable person on weekdays, how can you do such a bastard thing when Old Master Xu's bones are not cold?" ”
Wu Fei sneered: "If I act as a bastard, then how can I tell what Xu Pengju did?" In order to take power, he killed his father with his own hands, which can be called a beast, how can such a person have a heavy army? In my opinion, Xu Pengju deserves to be killed! ”
The wine glass shattered to the ground, and dozens of armor soldiers rushed in with knives. The color of the people changed, and they also drew their swords and confronted them.
Xu Pengju pointed at Wu Fei and said, "What are you doing, do you want to rebel?" ”
Wu Fei stood up and laughed: "This is not a rebellion, but to uphold justice and kill you, a well-dressed beast without a king and a father!" ”
"Zhou Yun and Zhang He, do you two also have to rebel?"
The other two didn't dare to look directly at Xu Pengju, and whispered: "Little grandfather, this military tent has been surrounded, don't resist it, maybe you can save your life......"
Wu Fei obviously didn't want to delay any longer, and was about to give the order to do it, but suddenly heard a commotion, and soon saw a pair of people and horses with knives killed, led by a white-faced scholar.
"Cao Wei, why are you here!" Xu Pengju was pleasantly surprised: "Aren't you keeping a vigil at home?" ”
"I don't want to just give the old man a spirit and have to give the little grandfather a spirit, none of you father and son are worry-free, if I hadn't mobilized soldiers and horses to help, I'm afraid you would have to see the old man...... If you want to run, Wei Jun, quickly surround him......"
In a short time, the tent had been cleared, and the three commanders were all kneeling under the tent with their hands tied.
"Which one is Wu Fei?"
Xu Pengju pointed at the short-haired man and said, "This person is!" ”
Cao Wei stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, pulled out a knife and put it on his neck, and said sharply: "Why do you want to murder Old Man Xu?" ”
Wu Fei smiled and said: "What's the matter with telling you, lifeless old mother, Holy White Lotus, this world is the world of my White Lotus Sect after all, what I am doing today is to make trouble in the future and prepare for the Holy Sect." As long as Xu Pengju's father and son are killed, and the Nanjing Zhuwei is controlled, the world can be determined......"
With a slash, Wu Fei's head was suddenly separated, and the other commanders were terrified. The other two commanders who were kneeling on the ground hurriedly begged for mercy: "Little master, the two of us didn't know that Wu Fei had killed the White Lotus Sect bandits, he used my two families as coercion to let the two of us take refuge in him, and the two of us couldn't help ourselves!" ”
Wei Juncong walked into the camp tent and whispered: "My lord, the turmoil outside has been completely suppressed, more than 1,000 of Wu Fei's cronies have been killed, and Wu Dewei and other armor soldiers have been guarded. Two of Wu Fei's guards wanted to escape, but they were caught by his subordinates, and after interrogation, the two of them came from Huaiyang Mountain......"
