Volume 5: Lying on the salary and tasting the guts

Chapter 4 Painstaking management of the initial army

Section 4: Improving Systems

Just after Wei Zhongxian sent the news, only two days later, Liu Yunwei received an official letter from the Ministry of War, the imperial court had approved the proposal of Tongzhou Town to mine iron ore and coal mines in the territory on its own, and exempted Tongzhou Town's military tun and mintun from the field endowment.

Liu Yunwei was very excited after receiving the news, a stone in his heart finally fell, and the biggest difficulty in front of him was finally broken!

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and the articles of the more than 1,300 readers were carefully screened by Yuan Mingxuan and Sun Yuanhua, and finally 200 relatively satisfactory articles were selected and sent to Liu Yunwei.

Yuan Mingxuan said: "Little general, these two hundred articles all have some insights on the Jingbian policy, you can take a look." ”

Liu Yunwei took the thick stack of articles and said, "Lord Yuan, Mr. Sun, you sit down first, and I'll take a look." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei looked at it by himself.

"My northern Chinese frontier has been infested by Yidi Hulu since ancient times, and although the Central Plains has the power of a strong man and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot be completely wiped out. Why? The land of Hulu is a wasteland, the Chinese attack is unprofitable, useless, can only waste money and food, the loss of national strength, every time the Han army wins can not hold for a long time, can only retreat to the south of Yinshan, Hulu will get a respite, in time will come back; Therefore, although our China has the great victory of Mobei (the battle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu), the victory of Yinshan (the battle of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Turks), and the power of Chengzu's five invasions of Mongolia, it is still unable to annex the Hu land and educate the Hu people......"

"This article is so sharply written, and its insights can be described as to hit the nail on the head!" Liu Yunwei exclaimed. Then, he looked at the name of the author of this article and said to Yuan Mingxuan: "Lord Yuan, this Hu Kun is good, let's be shortlisted." ”

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and wrote down the name.

After that, Liu Yunwei continued to watch.

"Today's great disaster of the dynasty should be the construction of slaves in Liaodong, and if you want to eradicate this scourge, you should take a two-pronged approach, and the imperial court should use the tactics of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle to blockade the northern border and cut off its goods. Liaodong was originally a bitter cold land, the output of acres of land was scarce, and after a long time, Jiannu must be weak in succession, even if there are millions of troops, it is not worrying! ”

"Well written!" Liu Yunwei took a closer look and saw that the title at the end of the article read: Zhou Tianyi.

"Lord Yuan, this Zhou Tianyi is also shortlisted."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Next, Liu Yunwei was out of control, and he watched all the 200 articles from the morning until nightfall. In the end, after screening, Liu Yunwei selected a total of 82 finalists.

At this time, Liu Yunwei felt a little tired, so he stood up and stretched, and said: "Okay, now that we have selected eighty-two aspiring scholars, plus the elite soldiers selected by Lu Ying, our Tongzhou Town can be said to be full of talents." ”

Yuan Mingxuan and Sun Yuanhua also looked at each other and smiled, and both suggested that Liu Yunwei gather these talents and apply them in front of everyone, so that they can win the hearts of the people.

Liu Yunwei thought about it for a moment and said: "Lord Yuan and Mr. Sun's proposal is very good, but I think this matter should wait for a while, let's first set up the structure of the Tongzhou Town Shogunate, and then arrange these talents." ”

Yuan Mingxuan and Sun Yuanhua both agreed very much, so they both said: "Then we have to prepare as soon as possible." ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and said: "I already have some ideas about this matter, and I will convene all the generals above the thousand generals early tomorrow morning to discuss and decide the matter of the opening mansion." ”

Early the next morning, the Hanwei army was in the big tent.

I saw Liu Yunwei sitting on the top of the big tent in military uniform, Yuan Mingxuan and Sun Yuanhua in the tent sat on the left and right of Liu Yunwei, Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Dangdang, Gao Hongguang, and Huang Fuming were also sitting on both sides of the big tent; Behind these eight guerrilla generals were Chen Zitong, Edward, Jiang Wentian, Wang Bo, Liu Jinhui, Lan Yuan, Li Mingzhi and other 55 Han Wei army commanders; Sitting on the outermost side are the seventy thousand households of Juntun and Mintun.

More than 120 generals and officers of the Hanwei Army gathered together, making the originally very spacious Chinese army tent extremely crowded. Liu Yunwei looked at his comrades in the big tent, his eyes were full of Linlin's iron armor and famous generals, and his heart was full of pride and confidence.

At this time, all the people in the tent sat upright and immovable, as if they were as majestic and majestic as the angry King Kong. I saw Liu Yunwei slowly stand up, causing everyone to look over, their eyes full of admiration and support, quietly waiting for Liu Yunwei to give orders.

Liu Yunwei looked around at the generals in the tent, and then said in a deep voice: "Fellow comrades, I gathered everyone today to announce one thing: from today onwards, the Shogunate of Tongzhou Town has been officially established!" ”

All the generals were overjoyed when they heard this, which meant that the further growth of Tongzhou Town and the Hanwei Army meant that everyone would be able to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the whole training. So, everyone looked at Liu Yunwei more attentively, waiting for the following.

"Previously, we have selected a lot of talents in the civil and military assessments, and many of the thousands of people sitting here are the best among them. This town hopes that you can continue to forge ahead, and in the future, you will advance into Liaodong and make contributions with this town! ”

"Follow the town to the death! Swear to defend the dynasty to the death! ”

Liu Yunwei nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Regarding the affairs of the shogunate, this town has decided that the Tongzhou Town Shogunate will set up the Investigation Division, the General Division, the Cargo Colonization Division, the Suppression Division, and the Planning Division. At the same time, the town decided to appoint Yuan Mingxuan as the governor of the Investigation Department, responsible for Tongzhou Town's external investigation of news and intelligence; appointed Sun Yuanhua as the governor of the general, responsible for the construction of various military equipment of the Hanwei Army; Chen Zitong was appointed as the governor of the Department of Cargo and Colonization, responsible for the development of iron mines, coal mines, and tuntian in Tongzhou Town; Hu Kun, who was selected this time, was appointed as the governor of the Zhenfu Division, responsible for purging the military discipline of the Hanwei Army and investigating all violations of the laws of the Ming Dynasty in Tongzhou Town; Zhou Tianyi was appointed as the governor of the Planning Department, responsible for the planning of Tongzhou Town. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Yunwei ordered someone to bring Hu Kun and Zhou Tianyi in, and informed the two of them of his decision. I saw that Hu Kun and Zhou Tianyi were excited, and they said that they would do their best to display their talents to repay Liu Yunwei for his kindness.

Liu Yunwei said a few words of encouragement to Hu Kun and Zhou Tianyi, let the two of them and the generals in the tent get to know each other, and then let the two of them sit down, and then continued: "This time, my Tongzhou Town has selected a total of 82 aspiring scholars, including Hu Kun and Zhou Tianyi; After the establishment of the shogunate, the remaining 80 scholars would be assigned to serve in various divisions and take charge of all the affairs of Tongshu Town. Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, my Tongzhou Town will open a new stage, which is to get rid of the shadow of a grass-created military town. This town hopes that you can work together to strive to train the Hanwei Army into an army as soon as possible. The day my Hanwei army became an army was the time to go out of the Northern Expedition to build slaves! ”

As soon as the words fell, more than 120 generals in the tent stood up together, clenched their fists and said: "The last general swears to follow the town to the death and defend Huaxia to the death!" ”

Yuan Mingxuan, Sun Yuanhua, Hu Kun, Zhou Tianyi, Chen Zi and others also chanted and looked excited.

Liu Yunwei saw that the crowd was high, and his heart was also full of confidence, feeling as if he was full of infinite strength. After that, Liu Yunwei said some encouraging words to the generals, explained some specific requirements, and let everyone disperse.

In the next ten days, the structure of the shogunate in Tongzhou town was quickly set up, and the official affairs of the shogunate departments were all on the right track, and with the concerted efforts of the officials of the entire shogunate and the generals at all levels of the Hanwei army, the speed of the Hanwei army's training, the output of the shogunate, and the progress of spring ploughing have all achieved very gratifying results.

At the same time, the Tongzhou prefect also found a mansion in Tongzhou City, which was handed over to Liu Yunwei as the location of the General Military Mansion of Tongzhou Town.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Liu Yunwei suddenly felt as light as a swallow, and even had time to go shopping on the streets of Tongzhou.

On this day, Liu Yunwei was wandering around the street with a few guards, when he suddenly saw a shogunate guard coming, as if there was something urgent.

"General Town, Governor Yuan has 100,000 urgent matters, please return to the General Military Mansion immediately."

Liu Yunwei was shocked when he heard this, knowing that if it wasn't for something big, Yuan Mingxuan would never be in such a hurry. So, Liu Yunwei hurriedly rode his horse back to the General Soldier's Mansion. As soon as Liu Yunwei entered the lobby, he saw Yuan Mingxuan, who was anxious, and his heart sank even more.

"Lord Yuan, what's wrong?"

Yuan Mingxuan got up and said: "Little General, I just got the news that Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Economic Strategy had a conflict with Wei Zhongxian's party due to the problem of food and salary, and the two sides continued to impeach each other, which has become a situation of fire and water. And just a few days ago, Wei Zhongxian finally brought Xiong Tingbi down, and now the imperial court has issued an order to remove Xiong Tingbi from the post of Liaodong Economic Strategy and replace him with Yuan Yingtai, the right attendant of the military department and the right servant of the capital! ”

Liu Yunwei was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Who is this Yuan Yingtai?" ”

"A mediocre talent!" Yuan Mingxuan said angrily: "Under the auspices of Xiong Tingbi, the situation in Liaodong has just improved a little, and it is simply a disaster for the country and the people to let these eunuchs replace Xiong Tingbi!" ”

"Is there any movement on Jiannu?" Liu Yunwei asked worriedly.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say to the little general." Yuan Mingxuan said with a sad and indignant face: "It is reported that Jiannu is gathering troops, and the targets of this attack are likely to be Shenyang and Liaoyang!" ”

"What!" Liu Yunwei was suddenly furious, and roared angrily: "I will enter Beijing immediately, Wei Zhongxian must give me an explanation for this matter!" ”
