11. Reorganize the Praetorian Guard
At this time, Zheng Wen found that he was idle all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to do?
So, Zheng Wen, after thinking about it, prepared to reorganize his Praetorian Guard.
Zheng Wen met with the main generals of the forbidden army in the imperial study, Li Wei, the commander of the forbidden army, Zheng Yi, the commander of the forbidden army, Jiang Kong, the commander of the left guard, and Li Tong, the commander of the right guard.
These four people were born as the personal guards of Zheng Wen's father, and they were cronies.
Li Wei won't say anything.
Zheng Yi of the forbidden army was born as an orphan, grew up in the royal orphan camp, and was later given the surname Zheng by the first emperor, forty-two years old this year, he doesn't look like a military general at all, he looks feminine, he has been serving as a forbidden army for sixteen years, on the surface, the forbidden army is the second commander of the forbidden army, in fact, this forbidden army is just a name, he is not responsible for the specific affairs of the forbidden army.
Zheng Yi was actually the commander of the first emperor's secret guard, and was actually responsible for helping the first emperor supervise the civil and military officials, as well as various emergencies among the people.
Such a person, in fact, helped the first emperor deal with those shady things, and was the white glove of the first emperor.
And Jiang Kong, the commander of the forbidden army, is a cavalry member of the northern border army, who has joined the Donggong Guard, and is a minister of the first emperor's hidden palace, thirty-eight years old, looking tall and mighty, but there is a long scar on the right side of his face, and there is some blood-eating taste.
And Li Tong, the general of the right guard of the forbidden army, is thirty-seven years old, relatively short in stature, once joined the Donggong guard, very handsome, with some modern fresh meat temperament, take off his armor and put on a scribe's uniform, a proper literati, but he is a military general, he is a native of Jinling, he is from the southern garrison, and he is a proper southerner, but it is in this country where the southerners are not valued by the military of the Great Qian, he actually became the general of the right guard of the forbidden army, which is definitely a masterpiece among people.
Zheng Wen sat on the throne, looking at the four generals under him, but he was thinking about how he was going to speak.
And the four generals standing at the head of the next were wondering what the lame new emperor was looking for them.
Zheng Wen's speech on the palace city in the morning, the four of them listened to it was also excited, a burst of enthusiasm, although they are nearly middle-aged, only one or two decades of political life, but as martial artists, they still hope to burst out of their own glory in their lifetime, let themselves be famous in history!
It's just that I don't want to meet when I am young, if I am young, they still have time to grow, in this era when martial arts are about to run rampant and martial arts, leave behind the merits of their predecessors, be named Marquis, and enter the phase, think about them are all excited!
However, the new emperor has just ascended the throne and has not yet completely grasped the situation, and they don't know when the era of rampant martial arts will come, and they don't know the bottom in their hearts, but they are willing to pay their life's work for the arrival of that era, even if they are swords and axes, unswerving!
Zheng Wen looked at them and ordered, "Sit!" ”
After a while, Huang An led some little eunuchs to pick up four chairs, two by two, and placed them in separate columns.
"Sit."
"Your Majesty, thank you." The four of them saluted Zheng Wen in unison and sat down separately.
Zheng Wen was the first to speak: "You are all generals of the forbidden army, and you are all ministers of your father's humerus. As the ninth son of the former emperor, I ascended to the throne as a concubine, and I am a cripple, which can be described as embarrassing and abnormal. ”
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been trembling, walking on thin ice, and I have always been rude, and I did not know books and etiquette when I was young."
"Actually, I didn't expect that I would ascend to this throne, speaking of which, this throne is also full of drama, and throughout history, I am the most bizarre about this throne!"
"I have just ascended the throne, but Kublai Khan's barbarian son led an army of 300,000 to attack Shanhaiguan, which is bullying me when I am young and bullying me for just ascending the throne. This is Kublai Khan threatening me to give him some benefits! ”
"But I am proud in my bones, even if I am a cripple, because I am the descendant of the Great Qiantai Ancestor, so I send the soldiers of the northern land to fight with Kublai Khan at Shanhaiguan!"
After a pause, Zheng Wen spoke again: "Some people have also persuaded me that Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and the domestic situation is still unstable, so you can support Shanhaiguan, but it is a bit worth the loss to send the troops of the North to fight Kublai Khan again, maybe there will be some turmoil in the country." ”
Suddenly, Zheng Wen said in a loud voice: "However, I told him that I have ascended the throne, and the army of Daqian is still Daqian, loyal to me!" ”
The four generals below hurriedly stood up, knelt on one knee, faced Zheng Wen, and shouted in unison: "The ministers are loyal to the great cadres and your majesty!" ”
Zheng Wen saw it, smiled, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Of course Qing and the others are loyal to me!" After speaking, he limped down and helped them up one by one, and Zheng Wenyixi saw that the eyes of the four generals were a little red.
I'm afraid I was moved.
"Sit."
Zheng Wen and the four generals sat down separately.
Zheng Wen also said: "I know that the gains and losses of fighting Kublai Khan at Shanhaiguan are not worth the loss, but do you know why I want to fight Kublai Khan at Shanhaiguan? ”
Zheng Wen suddenly stood up and said fiercely: "Because I want to tell Kublai Khan that I am not so easy to bully, tell Kublai Khan that from now on, the offensive and defensive situation of Mengqian will be alien, Kou can go, and I can go!" ”
"Tell the people of the world that the era of my great martial arts has come!"
"Tell you, I want to completely solve the Mongols in this life, and I want to let the Great Qianjun come to the world!"
"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! I have to live a lifetime, and everywhere the horse's hooves step on it, it will be dry soil! ”
The four generals below were suddenly emotional, stood up in unison, knelt on one knee, and said in a high voice: "The ministers are willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”
When Zheng Wen heard this, he laughed and said, "Get up!" Sit. ”
Sitting down, Zheng Wen spoke: "I have decided to reorganize the Praetorian Guard. ”
Li Wei stood up, saluted Zheng Wen, and said, "How is Your Majesty going to reorganize?" ”
Zheng Wen listened and said: "Sit, I decided to imitate the Han Dynasty and change the Praetorian Guard Army to the Yulin Army, which is the wings of the country, such as Lin Zhisheng, and the army of the Son of Heaven." It is divided into three divisions, the left division, the middle division, and the right division. ”
"The first division has one division commander, one division commander, two deputy division commanders, the division commander leads the army, and the division manages logistics and military discipline and military merits, with a total of 15,000 people, 12,000 are soldiers, and 3,000 are logistics soldiers."
"The first division has three regiments, which are the left, middle and right regiments, with one regiment commander, one regiment leader, two deputy regiment commanders, and a regiment of 4,000 people, who are soldiers, the regiment commander leads the army, and the regiment is responsible for military discipline and military merits."
"The first regiment has three battalions, the left, the center and the right, the first battalion has 1,200 people, one battalion commander, one battalion commander, two deputy battalion commanders, the battalion commander leads the army, and the battalion is responsible for military merit and military discipline and logistics."
"The first battalion has three companies, the left, center and right companies, with 400 people, one company commander, one company leader, two deputy company commanders, the company commander leads the army, and the company is responsible for military merit and military discipline logistics."
"There are three rows in a company, left, center and right rows, one row of 120 people, one platoon commander and two deputy platoon commanders."
"There are three classes in one row, the left middle is in the class, there are forty people in one class, one squad leader, and two deputy squad leaders."
"There are four groups in one class, ten people in each group, and one group leader in one group."
"How are you decided?" This was formed by Zheng Wen according to the situation of some later generations of the army, combined with the forbidden army of the Great Cadres, and the suitability reform.
After a period of silence, the four generals below decided that it was still feasible, one of them had an increase in the number of troops, and the military strength in their hands had also increased, which was a good thing, which general did not want his subordinates to increase?
Secondly, it is the forbidden army, no, the Yulin Army has been set up more reasonably, and the logistics of the army will be separated from the system of soldiers, and the army will be more clear, and those who fight will be responsible for fighting the war, so as to facilitate the professionalization of the army.
And Zheng Wen's mind at this time is really to set the Yulin Army as the benchmark of the army, he wants to reform the army model of the big cadres in the Yulin Army, and push the army of the big cadres to be more modern and professional, so that it will be more convenient for the army of the big cadres to go out and realize his dream!
The Yulin Army, on the other hand, is set up more toward modernization and professionalism, separating logistics from the army and preventing military commanders from being self-respecting and self-respecting.
Zheng Wen hopes that the reform in the Yulin Army can be successful, then he will carry it out to the whole country, and reorganize the army of the whole country into this type of professional army, of course, this will take several years!
……
After a while, Li Wei stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's okay." ”
Zheng Yi stood up and said, "Only Your Majesty's order is obeyed!" ”
Jiang Kong stood up and said, "Wow! ”
Li Tong stood up and said, "Yes!" ”
When Zheng Wen heard this, his face was not obvious, but he was very happy in his heart, it seemed that the forbidden army had completely surrendered to him.
Striking while the iron was hot, Zheng Wen then spoke: "Okay! Then I appointed Li Wei as the general of the left division of the Yulin Army, responsible for the reorganization of the left division of the Yulin army, and supervised the reorganization of the entire Yulin army. ”
When Li Wei heard this, he was overjoyed, stood up, and replied: "Oh! ”
"Accept Jiang Kong as the general of the middle division of the Yulin Army!"
"Whoa!"
"Accept Li Tong as the general of the right division of the Yulin Army!"
"Whoa!"
Zheng Wen listened to it and said, "After you go back, report to me the military supplies you need, and then collect them from the household department." ”
"As for the lack of personnel, 10,000 will be recruited from the capital, 10,000 will be selected from the capital garrison, and those from the Hebei army will be selected."
"Moreover, the Yulin Army must have 10,000 cavalry, as for the configuration of officers, the three of you can discuss and brainstorm, but officers above the platoon level must be literate!"
"Also, in the Yulin Army, set up a Yulin Military Academy, with me personally serving as the principal, and officers at all levels serving as instructors, and putting all the low-level officers in the Yulin Company and below into the military academy and then rebuilding it, I put all the military books collected by the royal family into the Yulin Military Academy, you can all read them casually, and the same is true for those who enter the school to study, understand?"
When Li Wei and the other three heard this, they became emotional and shouted loudly: "Oh! ”
This lame emperor is indeed eloquent and broad-minded, and they have more loyalty in their hearts!
Because almost all emperors are cautious about military books, but this new emperor takes them out without blinking an eye, which is indeed broad-minded and eloquent!
If Zheng Wen knew, he would definitely laugh, why, because all kinds of military books in later generations were rotten on the street!
