Volume 3 Chapter 12 The Great Officials of the Frontier
The residents in the north of Xuanhua Mansion City have finally been emptied, and the next step is to renovate.
Early the next morning, Yang Cong took Li Fengming, Zhu Xizhong, Luo Hongxian, Wang Xuan and other civil ministers and military generals to inspect the north of the city.
The vacated space is indeed large enough, larger than the imperial palace, almost the size of the imperial city, but the buildings inside are chaotic, and there is no perimeter wall.
He wants to build this place into a large supply base, this wall naturally has to have, and it is best to build it as tall as the city wall, so that even if Xuanhua Mansion City is captured, his logistics supply base will not necessarily be captured.
However, at this time, he didn't have time to repair the city wall, and he didn't even have time to build a factory, because in about three months, the Tartars were likely to attack Xuanfu Town.
Now, the most important thing is to produce weapons and equipment, and as for the rest, it can be slowly improved later.
After he made an inspection, he returned to his courtyard with a group of civil and military generals.
At this time, the courtyard he bought was almost rebuilt, and the gate was even replaced with a new plaque, but it was not "Yang Mansion", but "Patrol Yamen".
Well, the general governor does not have a separate yamen, but his patrol press came out with a separate yamen, I don't know how the other governors and governors will feel when they see it.
There is no way, he is rich, not only did he buy a mansion bigger than the county yamen, but even the second entrance of the mansion was changed by him to the appearance of a regular yamen, which not only has a public court, but also a study room for officials at all levels, and the third class of officials is filled by Jinyiwei, which is a mess.
After a group of civil servants and military generals followed him into the court, they automatically stood in front of the "officials" on both sides, and he was naturally behind the public case.
If you want to talk about the Wenchen generals under him, they are also quite good.
Zhu Xizhong, the right governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, is the son of Chengguogong, and he may become the prince of Chengguo when he will be.
Luo Hongxian, Tang Shunzhi, and Zhao Shichun are all prime ministers from the Hanlin Academy, as long as he doesn't fall, these are all likely to enter the cabinet.
Li Fengming, Qi Jingtong, and Tang Kekuan, these generals are not simple, Li Fengming is a general in Beijing, Qi Jingtong is Qi Jiguang's father, and Tang Kekuan is also a famous general in history.
There are also Shen Lian, Wang Xuan, Xue Nantang, and Li Du, although these people do not have high positions, they are his cronies and friends who he has focused on cultivating, and their future prospects are impossible to limit.
Yang Cong looked at the two military generals below, and couldn't help but feel secretly proud, hehe, I am also a feudal official at this time.
He was secretly proud for a while, then coughed, and said majestically: "Zhenqing, the Tartars are very likely to invade the Xuanfu this year, and the soldiers can't be slack off in training, you hurry up and lead the elite of the border army and the 3,000 battalions of soldiers to level the land behind the Zhang Mansion on the inside of the north gate, and the entire school field will come out, and three days later, the official will go to the acceptance." ”
This!
Zhu Xizhong knows the land behind Zhang's Mansion in the north gate, there are hundreds of acres there, and there are not many private houses.
The problem is that he has no experience in leading troops, let alone more than 10,000 soldiers, he has never commanded more than 1,000 soldiers!
However, Yang Cong handed over all the more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Xuanfu Town to him to command and drill, and he really felt that he had a lot of face.
As for the experience of leading soldiers or something, he has it with him, right, he has also read a lot of military books, so he is just going to try it at this time.
Thinking of this, he excitedly arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”
Of course, Yang Cong would not let Zhu Xizhong, a stunned young man, come, the reason why he did this was just to win over Zhu Xizhong.
He also knew that whether these 10,000 elite soldiers were handed over to Li Fengming or Qi Jingtong to bring, they were better than being handed over to Zhu Xizhong, and even Tang Kekuan had much more experience in leading troops than Zhu Xizhong, but he had to take into account Zhu Xizhong's feelings.
If someone else is allowed to lead the troops and Zhu Xizhong, the highest-ranking right capital governor in the army, Zhu Xizhong will definitely have an opinion about him, and it will be different if he hands over all the troops to Zhu Xizhong to lead, and people will definitely be happy in their hearts.
However, it is one thing to win the hearts of the people, and he does not dare to let Zhu Xizhong disperse these more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered: "Jingtong and Kekuan, you will follow General Zhu in the future and assist General Zhu in training." ”
Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan hurriedly arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order." ”
This time, Zhu Xizhong was even happier, he didn't know how to train soldiers, but Qi Jingtong would, Tang Kekuan didn't look bad, all the way from Juyong Pass to Xuanhua Mansion City Tang Kekuan led the troops all the way, and the elite of the 3,000 border troops under his command were well trained.
Zhu Xizhong is happy, but Li Fengming is uncomfortable, he is uncomfortable not because Zhu Xizhong has taken away his military power, he is originally from the Chengguo Mansion, and the Chengguo Gongzi led his soldiers is not considered to seize power, he is mainly worried about the safety of Xuanfu Town.
This patrol is simply messing around, he is the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, besides, Zhu Xizhong is a fledgling young man, what experience can he have in leading troops, they continue to mess around like this, in case the Tartars really come, how can they get it!
Yang Cong also noticed Li Fengming's expression, but he didn't explain anything.
He is not messing around, if you want to talk about the experience of leading troops, Li Fengming is definitely much stronger than Zhu Xizhong, but if you want to talk about the experience of hot weapons and cold weapons in combat, Li Fengming, like Zhu Xizhong, is a newcomer, and Li Fengming's leading troops will definitely be affected by the original cold weapon combat experience, but Zhu Xizhong will not, because Zhu Xizhong has never led troops or fought in the first place.
This time, what he wants to practice is a brand-new combat mode, whether he has combat experience or not is actually secondary, the main thing is to follow the new art of war, in terms of the acceptance of the new art of war, Zhu Xizhong should be stronger than Li Fengming.
He then ordered: "Yixiu, Jingren, you also accompany General Zhu to cooperate with the training, this time the musket artillery is estimated to be too late to build, so let's focus on chariots and thunderbolts, you should think about it carefully, what tactics should be used in this situation." ”
Tang Shunzhi and Zhao Shichun hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "The lower officials obey the order." ”
Immediately afterwards, Yang Cong ordered again: "Duff, please draw a sketch of the north of the city first, let's plan it well and see how this place should be transformed." ”
Luo Hongxian also did not hesitate to bow his hand and said: "The lower official obeys the order." ”
Immediately afterwards, Yang Cong ordered again: "Sir, you take the military craftsmen of Xuanfu Town to Zhangfu, take off the original plaque, and change it into the Xuanhua Factory of the Ministry of Industry to build the Qingzhi Division, first build the thunder and the fire dragon chariot, Xue Nantang and Li Du, you two will be the deputy of Mr." ”
When Wang Xuan, Xue Nantang and Li Du heard this, they hurriedly bowed their hands and said in unison: "The lower officials obey the order." ”
Almost all the people present had a task, leaving Li Fengming with nothing to do, and he thought that Yang Cong was deliberately leaving him aside, but he never thought about it, Yang Cong immediately ordered: "General Li, you go to Wanquan to command the envoy Yamen, and let them quickly gather all the war horses and send them to Xuanhua Mansion City." You're just staring over there, and within a month, you'll be sure to assemble all the horses. ”
Li Fengming is helpless, this is even more powerful than hanging him aside, people directly kicked him to Wanquan County, and now he has the idea of disobedience, let these hairy young men go on nonsense, but how can I get it.
However, he looked at Zhu Xizhong and endured it.
Forget it, let's order someone to contact the grandfather of Xia Guo quickly, if he makes the decision without authorization and disobeys the order, there will be no place for the prince's face.
