In the evening, Daming Palace, side hall.

Although the first emperor has only been dead for more than a month, this filial piety period is only limited to the royal family, and the ban has been lifted among the people, and the emperor Zheng Wen is of course an exception.

Therefore, Zheng Wen held a grand celebration ceremony for the soldiers who returned triumphantly in the Daming Palace, and the people who participated included Wu Yong, Lin Cang, Li Cheng and other senior generals, as well as some middle and low pole officers of the triumphant army and the Hebei garrison in Yanjing, and Zheng Wen also called most of the officers of the Yulin Army to this banquet.

When Zheng Wen walked into the hall wearing black leather armor and limping, he saw hundreds of people also wearing black leather armor, sitting at separate tables, eunuchs and palace maids were constantly serving wine and food to these people, and they were also talking to each other (Note: The standard armor of the officers of Daqian is divided into black iron armor and black leather armor, iron armor is worn when going to the battlefield, leather armor is usually worn, generally a ceremonial dress, but it is not necessarily, depending on the situation. ）。

When Zheng Wen walked into the main hall, these people stood up in unison, walked out of their seats, knelt down on one knee in front of Zheng Wen, and shouted in an excited tone: "Ministers and others see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" ”

Zheng Wen stood at the top, laughed happily, and said again: "You don't have to be polite, get up!" Today is for you, everyone eat and drink well! ”

And all the people stood up in unison, and took their seats.

At this time, Zheng Wen also stood up from the table, picked up a glass of wine, and said in a serious tone: "Today, my first cup of wine is used to pay tribute to those soldiers who died on the battlefield for the Great Qian, I respect you!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Wen poured the wine in the wine glass on the ground.

The officers below also stood up in unison, picked up their wine glasses, and poured them all on the ground.

Zheng Wen poured another glass of wine, raised it with his hand, and said loudly again: "This second cup of wine, respect Daqian, Daqian for ten thousand years!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Wen drank it all.

The people below also raised their wine glasses in unison, and said loudly in unison: "Ten thousand years!" After saying that, he also dried his own wine.

Zheng Wen saw it, laughed too, raised the third glass of wine, and said loudly: "This third cup of wine, I respect you, you warriors!" ”

After saying that, drink it all.

At the same time, the people below also raised their wine glasses and shouted in unison: "Respect Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking, they all drank it all.

When Zheng Wen saw it, he laughed, his heroic color was fully displayed, and he said again: "Everyone sit, have a banquet, and sing and dance!" ”

Suddenly, the palace musicians came to a "King Qin Breaking Array Music", and all of a sudden, the passionate military music sounded, impassioned, heroic and generous, and it was also very beautiful!

And the dancers are also using real weapons, the whole scene is heroic, not so much a dance, but a military performance, I saw these dancers, sometimes playing swords, sometimes fighting...... It makes people look passionate and proud!

This is the etiquette of Emperor Daqian's banquet for military officers and soldiers.

After the dance, the whole banquet began, and the ordinary singing and dancing also began.

Everyone began to toast, talk, eat and drink with each other.

Zheng Wen also took his wine glass and began to teach the wine of various officers, limping around with the wine glass, only to have a great drunkenness, Zheng Wen will return to his seat.

He staggered to his feet again, took the wine glass, and then said drunkly: "I'm drunk, I will give you a last drink tonight!" ”

After saying that, drink it all.

And the people below also stood up in unison, holding wine glasses, and saluted Zheng Wenqi: "Ministers respect Your Majesty!" ”

After speaking, they all drank it all.

Zheng Wen said again: "I have retired, everyone eat and drink well!" ”

After speaking, he was helped out of the table by two warriors, walked out of the main hall, and went to Zheng Wen's bedroom.

The officers below looked at Zheng Wen's back, and saluted Zheng Wen in unison, shouting in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Watching Zheng Wen disappear into the main hall, he sat down separately and started a bigger carnival, after all, the supreme leader is here, it is not good to be too presumptuous, for fear that His Majesty the Emperor will see his ugliness and leave a bad impression, which is not good.

A night of martial arts carnival began, tonight's Daming Palace is brightly lit, all night long.

……

This night, Zheng Wen slept all night in a daze.

At noon the next day, Zheng Wencai summoned Wu Yong, the Duke of Liao, Lin Cang, the Marquis of Handan, and other generals at Wuyingge.

When these people sit still.

Zheng Wencai opened his mouth and said: "Generals, the main reason for summoning you here today is that I want to discuss with you about the military issues of the Great Cadres, of course, the main thing is that I will talk about my thoughts, and you will also help me put forward opinions!" ”

"As for the merits you have made in this war with the Mongols, I don't want to talk about it, you also know that your merits are not very great, so you don't think about the title, I can only give you some wealth and good land, and as for those who have performed well this time, I will not hesitate to promote."

There was no dissatisfaction among the people seated, because what Zheng Wen said was the truth, the war with the Mongols was a great victory on the surface, but who among you here did not know that this was a war of draws, and their generals were only a little hard at best, but it was good to have some money and rewards.

Therefore, everyone stood up in unison, knelt down on one knee in front of Zheng Wen, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" ”

When Zheng Wen saw it, he smiled and said, "Everyone, please get up, I won't say much about these gossip, I will talk about my idea first." ”

The military system of the Great Cadres was created by the founding emperor Zheng Wu with reference to the military systems of previous dynasties, and then tinkered with by the emperors of various dynasties to form the current military system of the Great Cadres.

It is roughly divided into three parts, one is the Privy Council, the second is the military department, and the third is the local section of the embassy.

The Privy Council has the power to command and train the troops, and it also has some power to conduct inspections, and the promotion and appointment of officers are all made by the Privy Council. Nominally, the highest official position of the Privy Council is the Privy Councillor, who has great power, and nominally controls almost all the soldiers and horses of the Great Commander, but it is obviously impossible, because the emperor intervenes in it, so the Privy Envoy has almost become an idle post in the Great Commandery, and he does chores for the emperor, and his power is not even as good as that of the two Privy Envoys.

As for the military department, the main thing in the big cadres is to take charge of logistics for the army, and the army's armaments, food, and salaries are distributed by the military department, so there is a subordinate organization of the military department in each section of the embassy, and this organization is called the military preparation road, and the commander of the military preparation road is the military preparation and road envoy, and the high-ranking officials in the jiedu embassy department are second only to the jiedu envoys, and of course they are recognized by civilian officials. Another function of the military department is to supervise and evaluate the troops stationed in various localities. Therefore, the power of the military department is very great.

On the other hand, the Jiedu Envoy is responsible for commanding the garrisons in various localities and training these non-commissioned soldiers, and its highest commander is the Jiedu Envoy, and the army is not allowed to be used without an order. The big cadres are divided into six major sections: the Jingying Jiedu Mission, the Hebei Jiedu Mission, the Guanzhong Jiedu Mission, the Shanxi Jiedu Mission, the Shandong Jiedu Mission, and the Jiangnan Jiedu Mission.

These military positions are generals, chariot generals, generals of the east, generals of the west, generals of the south, and generals of the north. But as soon as the war ended, the shogunate would be automatically disbanded, and these military positions would be taken back by the emperor. Therefore, these military positions are important, but not permanent.

Of course, this is the military system of the great cadres on paper, but many of the great cadres who have been in the country for more than 300 years have been abandoned, but many of them have been used.

In fact, Zheng Wen still recognized this military system in his heart, and the transfer of troops was separated from the command of troops, and their logistics were directly controlled by the court, and the three powers were separated, and they cooperated with each other and checked and balanced each other.

After a pause, Zheng Wen continued: "What I want to say today, I have also told General Lin, I will tell you, and you will listen to it. ”

"I want to establish several field corps, these corps are dedicated to fighting, selecting the best soldiers, selecting the best officers, giving the best treatment, and the most well-equipped soldiers."

"Establish a corps of 200,000 people in Shanhaiguan, and also be responsible for garrisoning the Shanhaiguan area; In the capital, on the basis of the Southern Army and the Northern Army, two corps, each with 200,000 people, were established to garrison the area around the capital; Establish an army in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong, with 200,000 men, stationed in Hebei; In the Guanzhong and Shanxi areas, a regiment of 200,000 people was established to garrison the Guanzhong and Shanxi areas; And in the Jiangnan region, a corps of 200,000 men was created, which was responsible for stationing in Jinling. ”

"Of course, these legions are all selected from the existing Sectional Missions. It is impossible for me to increase the strength of the army by another 1.2 million, that is unrealistic, and neither the court nor I can afford to support it. ”

When the generals heard this, they all began to think carefully.

Zheng Wen didn't care about them, and began to say again: "I have 1.8 million troops on paper, but after a long time, you are all people in the system, and you must know the situation over the years, and many of them are afraid that they have been abandoned. I also said that in the coming year, I will conduct a thorough investigation of the garrisons in various parts of the Great Cadre, and thoroughly replenish the 1.8 million troops, and as for the Jiangnan Jiedu Embassy, we will increase the garrison by 200,000, so that there will be 400,000 garrisons in Jiangnan, and I can rest assured! ”

When these generals heard this, they were in high spirits and their faces were flushed!

The whole army of two million, not on paper, but a real army, is exciting to think about. They can get mixed into the position of general, obviously not fools, His Majesty's intention to reorganize the army and expand the territory is already obvious, in this way, they will be reused and become beneficiaries, of course they are very excited!

As for the thorough investigation, of course, it will touch the interests of some people, but what does it matter to them, they are now eager for these people to die!
