Chapter 35: Organizing the Army

There are a thousand Wanli in the eyes of a thousand people, and there are countless historians in later generations who have studied and evaluated this emperor, there are not many good ones, and there are a lot of hats like all kinds of mediocrity, but who dares to say that they really know this person?

When he first heard the news of Salhu's defeat, Wanli was angry, confused, and even confused, but one thing is certain, that is, he never gave up.

It is not difficult to see from the fact that he sent Xiong Tingbi to replace Yang Hao that he has begun to calmly examine the Jurchen barbarians, and the mess in Liaodong is not as calm as he originally thought, and it must be solved in a more sensible way.

In later generations, some people said that Wanli lost confidence in himself and the country because of the defeat of Salhu, so he began to indulge in lust and slack off the government, so that the government became more and more chaotic, and sat back and watched the Jurchens become stronger and stronger.

Which emperor is not lustful? Who are the authors of the Ming History?

It can be said responsibly that there are no immersive people, no right to speak, and history is written by posterity.

So when Wanli heard that there was a magical eunuch in Tieling, his first thought was not to rely on this person to eliminate Nurhachi as soon as possible, but to see this person with his own eyes.

Sitting in the deep palace, listening to other people's reports every day, looking at the cold words, what is the situation in Liaodong, Wanli listens to what others say, otherwise he would not listen to the cabinet's flickering, and send a Yang Ho, who is more than a waste, to command such an important battle.

Now the top priority is to see the eunuch named Ye Xun with his own eyes, if he is really so magical, then talk about breaking the enemy.

Now as soon as Wanli opened his mouth to see this person, Cui Wensheng tried his best to stop him, what did he want to do? Didn't he say that Ye Xun was a talent! Could it be that there is a fake in it?

In the end of the Wanli Dynasty, except for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao in the early years of Wanli, there were never any ministers and eunuchs, and this alone is enough to explain Wanli's ability.

Looking at the great eunuch Cui who was kneeling on the ground, Wanli snorted coldly and said, "When will you be my master?" Go and get twenty boards yourself, Xu Qing, immediately send someone to recruit Ye, that Ye or something into Beijing"

"Obey the order!"

Xu Xianchun sighed secretly, he wanted to help Cui Wensheng speak, but he also saw the emperor's unhappiness and resoluteness, compared with the emperor's will, the friendship with Lao Cui could only be pushed back.

The emperor's order was urgent, and after Xu Xianchun returned to his yamen, he immediately sent people for 800 miles to urgently recruit Ye Xun into Beijing.

At this moment, Ye Xun was thinking about how to develop and strengthen his strength, and he never thought that he would enter Wanli's eyes so quickly.

The various systems of the Ming Dynasty did restrict many rights of the emperor, but they also created many strange and willful emperors, and Wanli was just one of them.

Tieling, the school military field.

At this moment, the flags and sails of the school military field were spread, the war drums were rumbling, and 1,400 soldiers of the original Kaiyuan Guards were neatly arranged in three phalanxes to sit on the ground, and more than 1,000 Tieling Guards soldiers on the other side also formed three phalanxes and sat on the ground.

Although 2,400 people are not a lot, they look like they are also in the dark, especially these days when the soldiers' food has gone up, and the military salaries have been paid in full, and even the previous arrears have been made up, so that the soldiers are grateful to this young father-in-law from the bottom of their hearts, so they are all full of energy.

Although these soldiers are not elite, they have indeed experienced battlefield battles, and the momentum revealed in their eyes is the same as that of ordinary soldiers.

Such a group of energetic soldiers certainly added a lot of confidence to Ye Xun.

Among the soldiers is a high platform, except for Ye Xun on the platform, there is a pair of competing warriors, and the cheers come from the mouths of the soldiers around them from time to time, and the atmosphere is extremely warm.

Tielingwei was screened and selected among the young and strong, and the number of personnel was refilled with 2,000, because the city was still to be defended, so only more than 1,000 soldiers participated in this contest today.

In the past few days, Ye Xun has not only been busy practicing, he also asked Gao Ying to find some books on military training for him to study.

After some comparison, he summoned hundreds of households to discuss for a day, and finally decided to use Qi Jiguang's training method to reorganize the soldiers.

Twelve people are a team, with a captain and three teams as a flag, a flag general and three flags as a bureau, a hundred general and four bureaus as divisions, a general and two divisions as departments, and a thousand generals and three divisions as battalions.

Now Ye Xun can directly command more than 3,400 people, and it stands to reason that it should be reported to the imperial court and appointed by the Ministry of War.

But this is obviously not Ye Xun's purpose, the general can be concurrently served by himself, and the other three thousand general rules will be selected on the spot.

A thousand presidents led more than 800 soldiers, so that there were nearly 600 soldiers, and these more than 600 soldiers were formed by Ye Xun into his own personal guard.

Although he has not yet obtained a formal official position, this party will always have to be there.

Ye Xun's method of selecting President Qian is very simple, that is, he is publicly appointed in the form of a competition.

In this way, it is equivalent to wiping out the old officers in the army who originally had a certain amount of power, and the newly appointed officers will inevitably be more loyal to Ye Xun and more conducive to management.

Today, the soldiers are still standing in separate formations according to the original Tielingwei and Kaiyuanwei, and after the selection of the sum of the thousands of generals of each army, they will be re-disrupted and redivided.

Tielingwei's original two deputy thousand households withdrew from the selection very self-consciously, these two are veteran oils, and they are both hereditary deputy thousand households, even if they don't do anything, the guard is also to be raised, in this case, why bother to follow the big head soldiers to compete.

However, they will soon be unable to laugh, because Ye Xun's subordinates are not prepared to raise idlers at all.

It didn't take much effort to select the general, in the cheering and cheering of the soldiers, all the four hundred households of the original Kaiyuan Wei easily defeated the opponent and became the new general, Zhang Qi grabbed the next position, Liang Zhen was appointed by Ye Xun as the pro-soldier battalion officer, and the last general position was also taken by a local person named Ding Sheng in Tieling.

When the final selection of President Qian was about to be made, Ye Xun found out that there was no one who signed up.

Although the freshly baked six generals also have a posture of eagerness to try, but just now their skills Ye Xun also saw it, it can be regarded as half a catty, it is estimated that these people also understand this, so no one dares to take the initiative to stand up.

The Chinese army stood on the stage, shouted a few times in succession, but no one answered, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Xun, obviously asking Ye Xun what to do next.

Ye Xun frowned and thought about it, although six is enough, but the system is set by itself, and it can't be said that it will be canceled because no one dares to challenge this position!

Gao Ying on the side obviously saw Ye Xun's embarrassment, and interjected: "Father-in-law, my subordinates feel that there is no need to rush to settle down for the position of President Qian, and it is not a good strategy to make meritorious achievements in the future, and then promote them by the trend."

In fact, Gao Ying didn't say anything thoroughly, because Ye Xun changed the military system without permission, and the Ministry of War didn't know what to say in the future, and it would be a crime if it was investigated, he really supported Ye Xun, so he didn't want Ye Xun to cause too much trouble.

Although Ye Xun did not perceive Gao Ying's good intentions, he would definitely agree with Gao Ying's method, and was about to order the next item to disrupt the soldiers and redivide them, when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the field.

"This little father-in-law, I wonder if I can be this Qianzong?"
