XLVII Post-war

Although Xiao Ruxun's words are exaggerated in some places, but it is true that he is handsome and writes well, Xiao Ruxun's hand-held block makes Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen quite respectful, thinking that this block has "awe-inspiring righteousness", "peerless Yan Zhenqing" or something, and Xiao Ruxun's calligraphy is very appreciated, Ye Mengxiong also recommended some books he likes very much to Xiao Ruxun, so that he can read these books when he has time, increase his knowledge, and it will be of great help in the future.

Of course, Xiao Ruxun will not just chat with them, during this time, Xiao Ruxun, as the chief soldier of Ningxia, gathered all the 5,839 bird guns that could be found and put into use in the whole of Ningxia, and then selected 3,000 soldiers with better trained marksmanship and the least able to shoot among the 50,000 Ming troops in Ningxia.

With these 3,000 people, Xiao Ruxun formed a 3,000-person bird gun team, and then formed an artillery team of 5 or 600 people with more than 300 vehicles and cannons of various kinds, which were combined into one to become a firearms battalion with more than 3,000 soldiers, and became a direct subordinate unit of the Ningxia General Army, which was handed over to Wang Hui to be the commander and promoted Wang Hui to a staff general.

This initiative was supported by the trilateral governor Ye Mengxiong, who supported Xiao Ruxun's firearms battalion construction plan with his own authority, and Mei Guozhen, the superintendent of the army, said that he would personally watch Xiao Ruxun's way of training the firearms battalion, and then record it in detail, report this method to the Ministry of War, and then promote it to garrisons all over the country.

After this battle, Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen witnessed the huge lethality of firearms and the huge power of gunpowder, and began to attach great importance to the use and tactics of firearms, and Xiao Ruxun is now the well-deserved number one firearms use expert, so Xiao Ruxun's opinion has a lot of weight in their hearts, watching Xiao Ruxun let the three thousand gunners put up a fairly standard three-column formation to practice firearms on the school field, that kind of formation is indeed quite intimidating.

Moreover, Xiao Ruxun can also put forward his own opinions on the post-war pension and the problem of people's settlement and the renovation of the city, which made Wei Xuezeng very headache, that is, to let the old and weak women and children in Ningxia make ammunition packs for these soldiers.

On the one hand, he persuaded the young and middle-aged to plough and step up the pace of farming, and on the other hand, let the old and young women and children have something to do, and they can also receive some small money and manage a meal to subsidize the family, so that the court will not let the court spend money on disaster relief work in vain, so that everyone has something to do, and the people will have no time to think about other things.

In the same way, in order to prevent the soldiers from making trouble for a long time, Xiao Ruxun not only ordered a large-scale military training, but also asked the soldiers who had no training tasks to repair the city walls, repair ordnance and materials, and even set aside some soldiers to help cultivate the fields.

This is a means to deepen the so-called "military and civilian fish and water relationship", telling the soldiers that they come from the people, and they must also love the people, you love the families of other soldiers, and other soldiers will also love your family, and you bully other people's families, and others will also bully your family members, and so on.

In this way, not only did the residents of Ningxia have no time to make trouble, but the soldiers also had something to do, and they couldn't make trouble, and the whole order was stable all of a sudden, Ye Mengxiong was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiao Ruxun actually had the ability to govern civil affairs, so he easily let go of some power and started the logistics work he was good at.

And Mei Guozhen squatted in the training school every day to watch how Xiao Ruxun practiced the firearms battalion, and then let the firearms battalion gradually have combat effectiveness, gradually combined with the sword and shield hands, put out a firearms array, and practiced how to use the firearms array to fight the cavalry on the plains.

Mei Guozhen also discussed with Xiao Ruxun the combat characteristics of the cavalry, and then how to use this characteristic to make firearms play the greatest role to deal with cavalry, etc., of course, a topic that cannot be avoided is the problem that firearms are not waterproof.

Xiao Ruxun said that he has no time to solve this problem for the time being, and when he has the effort, he will work with others to study how to improve the ignition method, not to use this troublesome fire rope, but to take a more convenient and waterproof ignition method to ignite, even if it rains, there is no need to worry about firearms not being used.

Xiao Ruxun also sent a sentry to listen to the movements of the Mongols on the grassland, afraid that the Mongols would take advantage of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the rebellion to attack, so they must also prepare in advance, not to let the fruits of victory be snatched away by the Mongols, Ma Gui and Xiao Ruhui's infantry cavalry was ordered by him to maintain combat readiness at all times, once there is news, they can go to war immediately.

Xiao Ruxun did a very good job in the work of the Ningxia General Army, which was recognized by everyone, so for a while, the defense work of Ningxia Town was fully grasped, and the defense capability was greatly improved.

Half a month later, Ye Mengxiong's military report and Mei Guozhen's recital arrived in the capital, and was ordered to be sent directly to the palace to the emperor for preview, even the cabinet and the general administration department could not know the content of the war report in advance, but the news still came out, and for a while, the acting first assistant Zhao Zhigao, the second assistant Zhang Wei and the military department Shangshu Shi Xing and others were anxious, and they entered the palace to ask to see the emperor and inquire about the war situation.

What they don't know is that after Emperor Wanli learned the content of the military newspaper first, he had been laughing for a long time, he had been aggrieved for so long, and he felt so happy for the first time, really, Emperor Wanli felt unprecedentedly happy, because the biggest hero this time was not a few literati commanders, but Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer of Ningxia who he insisted on promoting.

The huge and shaky Bibai rebellion in Shaanxi was completely pacified in just two months, all the rebels were killed by themselves, none of them fled, only more than 300 people were captured alive by tens of thousands of rebels, and all the rest were killed, and the Ming army annihilated more than 50,000 enemies, setting the biggest victory since Jiajing! This is a beautiful battle fought by Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer he insisted on promoting!

When he was tired of laughing, Zhu Yijun began to pay attention to the entire battle process, which he would judge together according to Ye Mengxiong's military report, Mei Guozhen's folds and Jinyiwei's secret folds, among them, Jinyiwei's secret folds undoubtedly have the highest gold content and are most valued by him.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhu Yijun took charge of Jinyiwei, wantonly abolished the forces of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, put his cronies in Jinyiwei, and at the same time paid attention to protecting Jinyiwei's external intelligence network.

Everyone in the world thinks that Jinyiwei's intelligence network is internal, and the surveillance minister frames the minister, so he is afraid of it, but few people know that Jinyiwei not only spreads his intelligence network all over the Ming Kingdom, but also spreads the intelligence network to the enemy countries and vassal states around the Ming Dynasty.

After two hundred years of work, all the countless vassal states and enemy countries around the Ming Dynasty have been infiltrated, and if there is any change in these places, the first one to know is the Jinyi Wei secret agent, the second one to know is the commander, and the third one to know is the emperor.

However, when the Jinyiwei commander was unable to do anything or was involved in political struggles or simply became a pawn of others, the Jinyiwei's external deterrent power was much smaller, and he concentrated his forces to deal with the internal, but when the Jinyiwei was completely in the hands of the emperor, and the Jinyiwei commander was quite capable, the Jinyiwei could play an unexpected role.

And the current commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Sigong, is a very capable and loyal person to the emperor, the reason why Zhu Yijun can see through the tricks of those courtiers, and still control the government in some way during the decades when he is not in the court, if it is not for Luo Sigong's contribution, it is unimaginable.

It's like the rebellion of Bibai, Jinyiwei's secret report was delivered one day earlier than the 800-mile urgent report, and Zhu Yijun had already prepared the draft when he received the urgent report from the border gate, made arrangements, and arranged the matter as quickly as possible.

Then Wei Xuezeng's private persuasion, Xiao Ruxun's various achievements, and the movements of the rebels, etc., were all recorded by Jinyiwei and sent back to the original place, Wei Xuezeng himself was helped by Jinyiwei's intelligence, but Wei Xuezeng has collapsed now, and he didn't have time to deliver the news to Ye Mengxiong, of course, this is not needed.
