Chapter 006: The strength of the Nine-Sided Marshal's Mansion

Datong Nine Border Marshal Mansion.

"This is the first time that our army has convened a high-level military conference, and it is also a convening of this scale, and the chief military officers and military envoys stationed in various places are here, so the staff department must be dispatched in place to ensure that all localities can still ensure their due combat effectiveness under the premise of the absence of the chief military officer and the military envoy!"

Zhao Zongwu looked at the war sand table in front of him, this war sand table that was so large that it occupied half a house, from west to east, from north to south, with bright red flags, marking the forces that belonged to him.

In order to ensure that this territory of vertical development can have a solid foundation for development, the core of the relevant forces, Zhao Zongwu, has also changed again and again.

From the original Jinzhou, Shenyang and other cities in eastern Liaodong, to Xi'an City in Shaanxi, and then to Taiyuan City in Shanxi, Datong Town was finally identified as the development center, which also ushered in a new life for Datong.

Chen Qiyu nodded and said: "This time, the general military officers and Fu military envoys from all over the country have been recruited to participate in the military meeting, and the General Staff Department has issued corresponding guiding suggestions to all localities to ensure that during the departure of the chief military officer and Fu military envoy, even if there is a battle, the senior generals on duty in the department can also lead the troops of each department to meet the enemy!" ”

In five years, Zhao Zongwu finally took the authority of the Nine Sides, so he also deployed the corresponding chief military officers and military envoys in the Nine Border Towns to ensure that the Nine Border Towns were in his hands.

At the same time, outside the scope of the nine-sided important town, Zhao Zongwu also integrated several local armies and formed the corresponding system of chief military officers and military envoys.

Under such a premise, Zhao Zongwu had 15 commanders and envoys of the army, and they controlled 45 corps commanders and legion envoys.

This also made the scale of the elite legion directly controlled by Zhao Zongwu reach an unprecedented number of more than 800,000!

And that's not counting the local garrisons stationed in the localities.

If these are counted, the army under its control exceeds more than a million people......

In addition to Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town, and Gansu Town, Zhao Zongwu founded Dingyu Town in the Helan Mountain area, Wuning Town and Xingping Town in the Hetao area, Leishen Town in the Duoyan area, and Pingxiang Town and Hancheng Town in the peninsula area.

The establishment of these 15 important border towns directly improved the defense line in the northern territory of China, and at the same time, with the garrison of more than 800,000 elite regiments, the grassland tribes did not dare to attack at all!

This also clarified the general military officers and military envoys of each town.

You Shiwei, the chief military officer of Liaodong Town, and Zhu Wanliang, the envoy of the Fu army; Ma Shilong, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, and Li Bingcheng, the military envoy of Fuzhou;

Zu Dale, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, and Ge Shifeng, the military envoy of Fujun; Datong Town's chief military officer Zu Dabi and Fujun envoy Xu Fuxi;

Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Taiyuan Town, and Chen Zhong, the envoy of the Fu army; Liu Xingzuo, the chief military officer of Yansui Town, and Wu Guoxun, the military envoy of Fujun;

Ningxia Town Chief Military Officer Man Gui and Fu Army Envoy He Qian; You Shilu, the chief military officer of Guyuan Town, and Ai Wannian, the envoy of the Fu army;

Li Bei, the chief military officer of Gansu Town, and Jiang Mingwu, the envoy of the Fu army; He Cheng, the chief military officer of Dingyu Town, and Mao Chenglu, the envoy of the Fu army;

Jiang Bi, the chief military officer of Wuning Town, and Gao Jian, the military envoy of Fujun; Cao Wenyao, the chief military officer of Xingping Town, and Yao Youxian, the envoy of the Fu army;

Wang Shiqin, the chief military officer of Leishen Town, and Hou Shilu, the military envoy of Fujun; Chen Jisheng, the chief military officer of Pingxiang Town, and Liang Zhongshan, the envoy of the Fu army;

Zhang Mingshi, the chief military officer of Hancheng Town, and Li Fuming, the envoy of the Fu army.

The corresponding 15 important border towns also established corresponding local garrisons, which also made Yao Fumin, Wang Xiaxe, Wu Xiang, Wang Chaochen, Shang Xueli, Lu Shiju, Wang Fu, Wu Wenjie, Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Wu Tuo, Wu Sanfeng, Wang Pu, Zhang Shiqi, and Wu Weijin 15 people as commanders of the local garrison army.

When Zhao Zongwu proposed to expand the legion by more than 800,000 people, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Fan Tianxiong and other cores of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion all looked at him with shocked expressions, and they all repeated in their hearts that this was absolutely impossible!

But under such an impossible premise, Zhao Zongwu spent five years to complete the expansion of 45 corps, which is definitely thanks to Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong, if it were not for the wave of uprisings in Shaanxi and Shanxi, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhao Zongwu to complete the corresponding deployment so quickly.

On the other hand, the reason why Zhao Zongwu wanted to complete the expansion of the army so quickly was to let the young generals in the army really evolve into the backbone, so that they could have a certain say in the army.

Don't mention the legion ambassadors, just mention the 45 legion commanders.

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Wang Laipin, Xu Yanqi, Liu Xingbang, He Renlong, Fierce as a Tiger, and Tiger Dawei.

Zu Dacheng, Mao Youjun, Yang Yingqian, Liu Xingliang, Liu Xingzhi, Kong Youxing, Geng Zhongyu, Shang Kejin, Liu Xingpei.

Liu Xingji, Zu Zepu, Shen Shouchong, Tao Guozuo, Xu Jin, Yang Zhengfang, Lu Shanji, Cao Minglei, Yang Zhaoji.

Feng Guoyong, Chen Guangyu, Li Long, Xu Chunren, Dong Yongwen, Yang Qi, Wang Chengen, Gao Jie, Liu Guangzuo.

Wang Guoliang, Yang Jiamo, Jin Guofeng, Wang Chengyin, Zhang Shujia, Sun Yingyuan, Deng Zuyu, Wu Zimian, Song Wei.

Everyone here is a fierce general who galloped in the late Ming Dynasty, and some of them were still cultivated by Zhao Zongwu, and they completely let go of their own colors.

Among them, there may be some high-ranking generals who still have illusions about Da Ming in their hearts, but more of them are absolutely loyal to Zhao Zongwu.

Moreover, they worked under Zhao Zongwu, and in the eyes of the world, they were originally a member of the Dingguo Party, so most of the time, Zhao Zongwu had already controlled the lifeblood of the entire northern frontier.

If Zhao Zongwu did not lead the troops to conquer the Liukou forces in the first year of Chongzhen, then he would never have the situation he is in today, but it was precisely his decision to lead the army to conquer the Liukou forces that made him jump from the corner of Liaodong to the large level of deploying the entire Huaxia strategy.

In the process of conquest and governance of the place, Zhao Zongwu also continued to absorb talents, and in just five years, with a Guanlong military academy, Zhao Zongwu initially completed the senior generals of the required legion.

is also because of the soldiers and horses held by Zhao Zongwu in his hands, so that Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, who were far away in the capital, did not dare to have the slightest stab at Zhao Zongwu.

If Zhao Zongwu was unhappy, he dared to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to Beijing, and everything they had would become a void at that time.

It is also because of such a situation that Zhao Zongwu and Zhang Weixian have formed a state of relative checks and balances, and Zhao Zongwu has the final say on the affairs of the northern frontier, and Zhang Weixian and them will do the affairs of other places......
