Chapter 349: The Chief Officer Rescues People

After Liao Bingxun came out of a corner door of the house, he was targeted by the eyeliner laid by the moreover, but he did not alarm him, but followed him to the gate of the post house, and then took care of him.

Liao Bingxun's son, Liao Jingsheng, walked out of the gate and went straight to the border army camp with a few family members to find some of his father's colleagues and superiors to move the rescuers.

Liao Jingsheng still doesn't know what his father has committed, but he knows from his father's tone that this is a big deal, a big deal to lose his head, and that's enough.

When he came to the barracks, he saw several of his father's associates, and on the spot he knelt on the ground and cried and begged them to save his father.

"It's Jinyiwei, and that Lord Qincha broke into my house with Jinyiwei and forced my father to go to him and turn himself in. My father didn't do anything, they were framing, they were framing, they wanted to find a breakthrough in my father, and then attack our border generals. Liao Jingsheng cried and howled at several of his father's colleagues according to what his father taught.

"What, damn bastard, bullied Lao Tzu, brothers, can you hold back?" A thousand households' eyes were red at that time, and they shouted loudly.

"What to endure, looking at those officials who show off their martial arts and prestige, they look like dogs, Lao Tzu has long been holding his stomach. Lao Tzu fights every day with his head to protect them, just for these civil officials to ride on our necks and later? ”

"That's it, what bullshit, it's the head of Jinyiwei, I heard that he is the emperor's favorite, and he was directly promoted in one step, and the court is more resentful of him than us people."

Several thousands of households were clamoring, and at this moment, a commander came over and shouted: "This is the barracks, what kind of system are you brothers clamoring for, and you have drunk too much?" ”

When Liao Jingsheng saw this commander, he immediately knelt in front of him like a savior, and cried and complained bitterly about the injustice suffered by his father.

The commander was stunned, he couldn't understand how such a thing could happen, it stands to reason that now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and they will not clean up and rectify their border army, the Tatars are outside the pass, not to mention, the autumn is already certain that the Tatars are attacking on a large scale, and the court is too late to comfort them, how can they provoke trouble.

He is not a fool, he thinks that there may not be no problems here, it is very likely that this Deputy General Liao is really involved in some major case.

"Jingsheng, don't panic first, I'll go see the chief soldier right away." As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the barracks of the chief officer.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty generally inherited many systems of the Yuan Dynasty, mainly with the guard post as the basic garrison unit, just like the military subdivision of later generations, a guard post is about 55600 people, which is equivalent to a reinforced brigade in later generations, and it can be regarded as a unit that can fight independently.

There is still a certain rationality in this guard system, just like the division as the main combat unit in later generations, how strong a country's military strength is, depending on how many divisions he has, the Ming Dynasty's guard post has changed a lot, there are mainly 72 guards, which refers to local troops and border troops, in addition to the Beijing army and the Imperial Forest Army, then more. This aspect can only be omitted, otherwise it will be too complicated.

A guard station roughly governs 5,000 households, and each 1,000 households has about 1,000 to 1,100 people, which is the most basic composition of the Ming Dynasty army. Small flags, general flags, 100 households, 1,000 households, and commanders are the most important officers, and there are also many deputies, and there are even some miscellaneous officers, blind staff officers and officers who manage general affairs and logistics, and so on.

When the imperial court sends a general to go on the expedition, it will appoint a general as the chief military officer, and there are also deputy chief military officers, etc., how many guards are led by the army, all of which are the troops there, and then gather together to go on the expedition, and the border army is generally a fixed guard, and it is often changed later, so as not to be bittersweet and uneven, and the army naturally has complaints.

Therefore, the military system of the Ming Dynasty is generally the chief military officer, the deputy chief military officer, the commander, the thousand households, the hundred households, etc., as for those who represent the deputy position, the representative of the chief of staff of the level of the official is naturally also complete. Of course, it was only a rank, and at that time there was no such position as chief of staff, and the roles of chief of staff and staff officers were played by staff members who did not receive salaries from the imperial court.

Whether it is Xuanfu or Datong, it is the most important border pass and military town, so the imperial court also sent a general military officer to command the whole army, but under the leadership of the governor, this layered power structure is also the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, compared with the Hongwu and Yongle years, it is naturally much more complicated, much more refined, and the bureaucracy is naturally much more serious.

At that time, Ming Wuzong's favorite was the position of chief military officer, every time he drove in person, he always had to make a holy decree first, and he named himself the chief military officer, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the governor of the capital, etc., which made the world laugh, but this also shows that the position of the chief military officer is indeed prominent.

The surname of the chief military officer of Xuanfu and Datong is Li Mingzhipeng, and his name is Xiangyuan, and he is a military general of the third grade.

He was drinking stuffy wine in the tent, and recently Qi Jiguang came to the border pass, which really stole a lot of limelight from him, making him very depressed, but he couldn't say anything.

For a star general like Qi Jiguang, the soldiers are very fond of him, and as a result, everyone flocks around him and listens to him tell some stories about fighting Japanese pirates, which is more heroic and refreshing than their battle with the Tatar cavalry. After all, Qi Jiguang is a victorious general, unlike the border army in repeated battles with the Tatar cavalry, they have lost more than they won, and the few battles they won are not very glorious, where is Qi Jiguang so happy.

Of course, everyone also knows that the pirates and pirates cannot be compared with the elite Tatar soldiers who are well-trained, well-ridden, and have the same good tactics, but they still feel that the generals on the border are incompetent, and their middle and lower-class soldiers are dragged down.

Qi Jiguang and besides, they did not take the same route, he did not enter Datong City, but came directly to the Great Wall fortress in Xuanfu, waiting to greet the little prince and his party who were ready to enter the customs to negotiate.

He also doesn't like the socialization in the officialdom, although he is also very good, that scorer, if he is as discerning as Zhang Juzheng, he is willing to get acquainted with his heart, and when he is together, he is also very happy all day long, but when he gets along with ordinary bureaucrats, it is difficult to stand their sour and rigid bureaucratic atmosphere.

He preferred to stay with the lower ranks, mingle, drink bad spirits, eat bad food, light a bonfire, and roast the game that the soldiers had brought in and drank with it.

He used to be like this in the army, and later his official position rose higher and higher, and now he is the chief military officer of Jizhen, and the prince is Shaobao, so he can't do whatever he wants like before.

When he came to the border this time, he could put down his identity and mix with these low-level soldiers, but the task was heavy, and he didn't dare to be careless for a while.

Moreover, after arriving in Datong, he also sent him a letter, he didn't have time to reply, and he didn't know whether to reply or not, according to the itinerary, besides, he should lead the negotiation delegation to the Xuanfu fortress later, where he exchanged with the little prince and his party outside, and then the mission would be protected by the Tatar elite soldiers to go to Hala and Lin, and the little prince and his party would follow him to Beijing.

These are all predetermined procedures, but there was an urgent letter from the governor Wang Chonggu, saying that it was a request to postpone the exchange of personnel between the two sides for a few days, and Qi Jiguang knew that something might go wrong.

But he didn't have any worries, Datong is also a military town, and there shouldn't be any serious problems with the people there, how could he guess that not long after entering the city, he lost two important members, and he also carried the confidential documents of the imperial court.

When General Li heard the report of the Chinese army that one of his commanders asked to see him, he waved his hand and let him in.

After the commander came in, he briefly reported the matter to Li Zhipeng.

"My lord, what should I do about this?"

"What to do? Jin Yiwei wants to arrest people and handle cases, what can I do, can I still take the army to snatch it back? Li Zhipeng was not angry, and said angrily.

"However, we can't let Jinyiwei spoil our people casually." The commander argued.

"Did you figure it out whether the Jinyi Guard arrested someone, or Lord Qincha arrested someone, or the idiot under him who turned himself in?" Li Zhipeng said a little drunk, his mind was quite sober.

"This ...... It's not that Qin Cha who caught him, it was Xiao Liao who turned himself in, but he couldn't help it, that Qin Cha was the commander of Jinyi Guard, where did he dare not go. The commander said.

"That's not it. People are Qincha, even if they are not Qincha, they are still the commanders of Jinyiwei, who are bigger than my rank, what can I do? Li Zhipeng said.

Besides, it is now the third grade, which is the same rank as Li Zhipeng, the general soldier, but the officials of Jinyiwei are higher than the officials of other departments, not to mention the generals of the army.

"You don't have to worry, isn't it just that there are two people lost in that mission, maybe that fool under your command is involved in something that shouldn't be interfered in, and when the matter is clarified, he will be released." Li Zhipeng didn't want to worry about it.

If he fought against the governor Wang Chonggu, he still had a little confidence, but against the commander of Jinyiwei and the minister of the Qincha, he really didn't have this confidence.

Jinyiwei itself represents the emperor's face, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke, unless it is an important minister like Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng.

Li Zhipeng is also a chief military officer, and there are quite a few general military officers like him, and all important military towns and border fortresses are often under the jurisdiction of the chief military officer.

"But my lord, if you don't save it, what if Xiao Liao is really scared and says everything that shouldn't be said?" The commander said with a bitter face.

"What shouldn't have been said? If you shouldn't say anything, you can make it clear to me. Li Zhipeng glared, he could hear it, how could there be a smell of coercion in the words of this commander.

"Of course, it's not about you, my lord, but that there are many generals in the army who hide a lot of women and women who have been robbed from all over the world......"
