Chapter 036: Shocking Thistle Town

Jizhen was originally in Taolinkou.

Taolinkou is located in the north of Yongping, east of Liaodong Town, is a very important pass in the Great Wall defense line, but Jizhen as an important link linking Xuanfu Town, Beijing, Liaodong, Taolinkou for a long time as the center of Jizhou Town, in fact, the overall military value is not of great significance.

Later, the Ji Town Governance Office was moved to Shishiyu.

The migration to Shishiyu, although it solves the problem of geographical displacement and the problem of the linkage of the overall defense line, but the Shiziyu area, the terrain is narrow, and there is no guard station and land hoarding support, which makes it impossible to garrison heavy troops to guard the place, otherwise a large amount of grain, grass and heavy silver will be consumed.

It was only because of the needs of the current situation at that time that Jizhen experienced five chief military officers in Shiziyu, until the second year of Tianshun, when Hu Yong, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, after choosing the Santun camp, he opened up the military town in the place, built the cantonment camp office, and Jizhen moved to the Santun camp again, and has been stationed in the place since then.

From this, we can see the important role played by the Santun camp.

Qi Jiguang, who used to be the chief soldier of Jizhen, once stated in the "Record of Rebuilding the Santun Camp City": The Santun camp 'goes to Xifeng and the second house, and the three hundred households of Zhongyiwei are also in the tundi, the mountains and seas on the left, and the mediocre and the hub on the right, so as to show the weight of the tribute road'.

This reflects the important geographical location of Santunying.

Not only can it be well linked to the regional defense line, but also to link the overall defense line well, which also makes the enemy want to pass through the Jizhen defense line, which is absolutely impossible, and want to break through from Xuanfu, Liaodong and other places, the Jizhen official army can also send reinforcements at the first time.

Santun camp is located in the center of the town, the left and right control passes are roughly equal, its east holds the mountain and sea Xiongguan, its west controls the Yong fortress, its north controls the border pass, its south back leans against the sea and the waves, the town government is in it, it is convenient to control the whole town, it is Taolinkou can not be compared.

A simple sentence reflects the importance of Santun camp.

There is also a large amount of open land in the Santun camp belt, which can well feed the garrison, you must know that the guards in the Ming border area, three points to defend the city, seven points to the tun species, through this way to greatly reduce, the supply pressure borne by the central court.

This also makes the place where Santun Camp is located, which is definitely an important throat area to go to Beijing, Liaodong, Northern Xinjiang and other places, and the place has a back to the sea and is adjacent to several waters, which also makes the economy near Santun Camp quite prosperous!

But it is such a treasure of feng shui, but because of the increasing corruption of the Ming officialdom, it has been gradually abolished, which is also after Zhao Zongwu came to Santun Camp, the anger in his heart has never been reduced!

Damn!

Not to mention anything else, just the location of the Santun camp, improve the tuntian system, solve the corruption of the military town, sort out the adjacent waterways, and gather the bankrupt people to join the military reclamation, not to mention the supply of a small Jizhen official army, even the needs of the official army in Liaodong and Beijing can also be well provided.

But it is such a situation, but it has not been solved by the successive commanders of Jizhen, on the contrary, they also ask the court for a large amount of money every year, which is obviously able to complete self-sufficiency!

Zhao Zongwu and his entourage, who arrived at the Santun camp, were so indignant after actually understanding the situation.

Chen Qiyu was even more indignant: "Grandpa Guo! The former chief soldier of Jizhen has an unshirkable responsibility for this rebellion, guarding such a treasure land, but he doesn't know how to transform it at all, but uses the blood and sweat of the soldiers to bribe the eunuchs, this thing that puts the cart before the horse, they can do it!! ”

"There's no point in talking about it now." Regarding Chen Qiyu's story, Zhao Zongwu knew very well what was going on, but he waved his hand and said: "Because of the long-term party strife, corruption in the Ming officialdom is inevitable.

Those civil officials in the capital did not think about the soldiers in the frontier at all, they ate and enjoyed the fish and meat in the capital, but these soldiers in the border were still worried about whether they could eat a full meal.

It turned out that the Duke was still thinking about how to use a proper opportunity to change the existing military administration of the Ming Dynasty, and originally wanted to use the Beijing Camp Reform as an entry point, but he didn't expect the Jizhen Rebellion to give the Duke a suitable opportunity!

Since this ordinary person can't renovate the important place of Jizhen, then Bengong will dispatch elite soldiers from Liaodong to rectify it in the future, Yuxuan, you immediately pass the military order to the General Staff Department, and let him order Ma Shilong's department to immediately reorganize the army, march to Jinzhou through the galloping road, and order the navy to immediately arrange ships and move them to Jizhen as a whole!

For a limited time of four days, my father wants to meet a strong army in good spirits! ”

Okay.

No wonder Zhao Zongwu has been holding back, it turned out that he took into account the cooperative combat ability of different arms, and it was not until he saw the real situation of the Santun camp that he finally revealed the atmosphere to Chen Qiyu and them.

Chen Qiyu was shocked at first when he heard this, but then he also understood the good intentions of his grandfather, and in just four days, he not only had to complete the transfer of military orders, but also let Ma Shilong's headquarters and the navy stationed in Jinzhou complete the reorganization of the army respectively, which not only tested the internal coordination ability, but also tested the adaptability of the combat team.

It is worthy of being the Duke of Dingguo who has been fighting for several years, and the consideration is different!

Zhao Zongwu frowned and said, "Let's go, go to the fire in Santun Camp and have a look." ”

Although it is said that the soldiers of the Santun camp have reached the point of rebellion, they are not willing to do so until they have to.

After all, rebellion is a felony of killing the head.

Fortunately, this military rebellion did not cause the camp to roar, otherwise even if Zhao Zongwu came, it would not be easy to make it!

In fact, when more than 1,000 people from Zhao Zongwu's department arrived near the Santun camp, Duan Guoren, then the deputy chief soldier of Jizhen, basically controlled the situation, and his years of conquest also gave him a high prestige in Jizhen......

"Report ...... Dingguo's relatives went to the Santun camp station, and now they are waiting outside the camp office, and they want to see the officers at all levels in Jizhen by name! The garrison who was originally stationed in the important place of the camp department, with a little panic in his expression, hurried towards the tent of the general barracks, and before this person arrived in the tent, the voice had already shouted!

Duan Guoren, who was originally in an irritable mood, immediately stood up after hearing this, and said in his heart: "It's broken!" This Dingguo Gong is here, I'm afraid something big will happen!! ”

For Zhao Zongwu's prestige, the countless border armies adjacent to Liaodong, they are all thunderous!

Who doesn't know that Zhao Zongwu led the army, and in just over six years, he took Liaodong back from the hands of the fierce Jiannu!

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zongwu's prestige in the Ming border army is also extremely high, after all, the Ming army has been suppressed all these years, and that kind of aggrieved strength is unimaginable for ordinary people.

"Quick! In addition to the officers on duty today, all the officers above the guerrilla level in Jizhen were ordered to go to the camp office to greet the Dingguo Gong!!! After saying this, Duan Guoren rushed to the camp office with a roar, at this time, Dingguo Gong had already arrived, if he didn't arrive, it would definitely be a felony to kill his head!

You must know that this thistle town rebellion is just around the corner......

The accompanying more than 1,000 soldiers and horses stood tall in a formation, and the deterrence exuded was not much worse than an army of more than 10,000 people, which also made the Jizhen soldiers who accompanied Zhao Zongwu feel greatly shocked in their hearts.

Is this the strong army of Liaodong?

That's simply not on the same level!

Zhao Zongwu put his hands behind his back, accompanied by Chen Qiyu, quietly watched the important place of the camp in front of him, but secretly said in his heart: "This Duan Guoren, the deputy chief soldier of Jizhen, is also a talent, and he can stabilize the soldiers who have already rioted under the premise of a rebellion under his command, without any help, not bad!" ’

Although it is said that the Jizhen military rebellion is under Duan Guoren's tenure, this has already owed the military salaries of the soldiers of Jizhen for so long, especially when tens of thousands of troops stay together, a simple two-sentence incitement can affect more soldiers and horses, so it is inevitable that there will be a military rebellion.

And Duan Guoren can calm the hearts of the soldiers as soon as possible in this situation, and at the same time minimize the danger, which is already a good performance.

And just when Zhao Zongwu was thinking about this, Duan Guoren had already led a large number of generals to come, and before he could get to him, Duan Guoren's voice came.

"Deputy Chief Soldier of Jizhen, Duan Guoren, I have seen Dingguo Gong!!" As soon as the words fell, Duan Guoren knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Zongwu's eyes, and even the generals behind him also knelt down on one knee to salute.

"Humph!" But Zhao Zongwu praised it in his heart, but there was chaos in this Ji Town after all, and he had to show his attitude, "Deputy Chief Duan, your ability is not small!" The imperial court asked you to control the important land of Ji Town, and let you temporarily assume the power of the general army, but how did you do it?

In less than two months, he played a military rebellion for the imperial court, do you know how the capital is spreading your Jizhen now?!!! ”

In the end, the momentum on Zhao Zongwu's body instantly became fierce.

After hearing this, Duan Guoren also secretly complained in his heart, and immediately asked for sin: "Condemn the country and forgive the sin!" All this is the reason for the last general, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers of Jizhen, and it is all because the general is incapable and did not give the soldiers of Jizhen the salary they deserve.

It is also because of this that the emotions of the soldiers of Jizhen have become high-pitched, and none of them have the heart to rebel, but they are a little resentful in their hearts!

It's useless to explain anything else now, it's all the fault of the last general! ”

Speaking of this, Duan Guoren even knelt down and kowtowed, and took all the blame for this time on himself to Zhao Zongwu.

And this also made the officer behind him immediately shout: "Lord Commander, this is not your business......" Seeing this scene, Zhao Zongwu nodded instead, it seems that this Ji Town has not yet reached the point of rotten foundation.
