Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume VIII Troubled Times

Chapter 1 The military is shaking the sky and raising the prestige of the Han

Section 6 The Han family has 300,000 soldiers

In the third year of the Apocalypse (the seventh year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), at the end of July, the General Military Mansion of Tongzhou Town.

A middle-aged eunuch was reading a decree in the hall with a copy in his hand, and Liu Yunwei led all the guerrilla generals and above of the Hanwei Army, as well as all the governors of the Tongzhou Town Shogunate, kneeling on the ground and listening.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said:

Today, Liu Yunwei, the chief military officer of Tongzhou Town, is loyal to his duties and has made many military exploits. First, there was the meritorious victory of a thousand mountains, and he struck Jiannu to raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty; Then there is the hard work of quelling the chaos in the southwest, and stabilizing the southwest to protect tens of millions of Li people. I am very happy when I think about it!

Today, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, asked for an edict to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and there was no one to guard the northern border of the country, and I was very worried when I heard it. Fortunately, Liu Yunwei, the chief military officer of Tongzhou Town, was brave and brave, and he was specially promoted to Liu Yunwei as the governor of Jiliao, commanding the soldiers and horses of Shanhai Town, Jizhou Town, and Tongzhou Town, defending the northern frontier of the country, and waiting for the opportunity to send troops to the north to conquer Liaodong! Chin this! ”

"Minister! Liu Yunwei leads the order! ”

Liu Yunwei led everyone to bow and thank him, and the middle-aged eunuch also said with a smile: "Supervisor, congratulations!" Jiliao Inspector, who is in his twenties, is the first in our Ming Dynasty! ”

Liu Yunwei got up and clenched his fists and said, "My father-in-law has won the award, please wait a while, go to the side hall to rest for a while, and Rong Yunwei will thank you." ”

"No hurry, no hurry, it should be."

Yuan Mingxuan smiled and led the eunuch to the side hall, while Liu Yunwei wrote hard and wrote a thank-you return. After that, Liu Yunwei handed over the foldback and fifty taels of "hardship fee" to the middle-aged eunuch and said, "There is Gonggong Lao to play on his behalf." ”

"Haha, where, where, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

After sending off the eunuchs, Liu Yunwei convened the generals and governors in the lobby of the General Military Palace.

Deputy General Lu Ying led the staff generals Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Kangdang, Gao Hongguang, and Huang Fuming, as well as Guo Yi, Feng Tian, Feng Xuan, Bao Desheng, Edward, Zhu Xuyu, Jiang Wentian, Tian Qing, Liu Heihu, Cen Shaomin, Chen Xu, Han Yang, Zhang Xun, Sun Mingwu, Zhou Qin, Gong Jun, Wang Tianqi, Zhou Yi, Li Meng, Zhao Chuanwu, Wei Huang, Kong Xuan, Jin Zhao, Jinzhan, Jiang Hang, Jing Baoshan, Jiang Baizhan, Wei Wuhu, Kan Kuang, Zhu Wei, Tao Jiakuo, Cao Yuan, Lu Mingda, Wang Tianyi, Xu Hong, Zhao Yunian, Liang Hu, Liang Bao, Zhao Kang, Liu Sanming, Qi Sheng, Yan Shouli, Hua Tulong, Qin Zhen, Wu Hang, Shi Ke, Wen Long, Shi Ke, Liu Jinhui, Lan Yuan, Li Mingzhi, You Dagui, Li Genqi, Zhao Meng, and other 54 garrisons sat in front of Liu Yunwei on the left according to their different battalions; I saw dozens of fierce generals in iron armor, dozens of pairs of tiger eyes staring ahead, staring intently, looking at the commander of the Hanwei army, and at the new governor of Jiliao, Liu Yunwei!

Yuan Mingxuan, Governor of the Investigation Division, Sun Yuanhua, Governor of the General Division, Chen Zitong, Governor of the Tunshou Division, Hu Kun, Governor of the Suppression Division, Zhou Tianyi, Governor of the Planning Division, and Ma Shiming, Governor of the City Division, sat in front of Liu Yunwei's right, also looking ahead energetically.

Liu Yunwei looked at the people in the hall and couldn't help but feel excited, and said secretly: "My Hanwei army is at its peak, and now I have been promoted to the governor of Jiliao, which can be described as a tiger with wings, I want to seize the opportunity to do a big job!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now that His Majesty has decreed and the imperial court has appointed him, the Governor has decided to lead a large army to Shanhaiguan to garrison it in five days! ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were excited. Now that Liu Yunwei is in command of Shanhai Town, Tongzhou Town and Jizhou Town, how can the 100,000 main army under his command and the 100,000 Tuntian soldiers who are about to be reorganized be stationed? Where will the generals be guarding? These are all things that everyone is very concerned about.

Liu Yunwei naturally knew everyone's thoughts, and said: "Since I came back from the capital, although I was unwilling to take over the position of Lord Sun in my heart, I still made some plans in the face of the border situation of the country. I decided: Lu Ying, the deputy chief soldier of Tongzhou Town and the commander of the Feiyu Battalion, will be the chief officer of Tongzhou Town, and lead the Feiyu Battalion to garrison Tongzhou; The general Huang Fuming led the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion, and the general Li Tianhao led the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion under its jurisdiction! ”

Lu Ying, Huang Fuming, and Li Tianhao stepped forward together and responded: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Liu Yunwei continued: "The former general soldiers of Jizhou Town embezzled military land and embezzled military salaries, and ordered the Zhenfu Division to immediately take prisoners for questioning, and report to the military department for discussion after the charges are verified!" ”

Hu Kun said with a cold expression: "The subordinate takes orders!" ”

"Promoted to Changshui Battalion General Wen Poyu as the deputy chief soldier of Jizhou Town, leading the officers and soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to garrison Jizhou City, General Zhao Kaishan led the soldiers of the Huben Battalion, and General Wang Dangdang led the soldiers of the Zhichong Battalion under its jurisdiction!"

Wen Poyu suddenly trembled and was very excited when he heard this, and stepped forward with Zhao Kaishan and Wang Dangdang to receive the order, and the three of them said in unison: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Liu Yunwei smiled and nodded to Wen Poyu, encouraging him to make some achievements, and then continued: "Staff General Wu Xing led the soldiers of the trapped camp, and Staff General Gao Hongguang led the soldiers of the Yingyang Battalion to go north to Shanhaiguan with the pacesetter battalion of this governor!" ”

Wu Xing and Gao Hongguang also led the order loudly, and they were eager to try their upcoming trip north to Shanhaiguan.

Liu Yunwei said: "Regarding the promotion of Lu Ying and Wen Poyu, I have asked my father-in-law to play the imperial court, so there must be no problem." The rest is a matter of reorganization. ”

After arranging the main army of 100,000, Liu Yunwei began to arrange 100,000 Tuntian soldiers, and said: "All battle barracks will start a major reorganization from now on, and all the 100,000 Tuntian soldiers will be reorganized into the main battle barracks!" The specific reorganization strategy will be explained by the Governor of the Planning Division, Mr. Zhou. ”

Zhou Tianyi stepped forward and saluted the generals who were full of anticipation and said: "Generals, according to the strategy of the superintendent, the new structure of our Hanwei Army is as follows:

Each battalion commands a firearms infantry division, two melee infantry divisions, a cavalry division, an artillery battalion, and a baggage battalion, but the number of soldiers in the artillery battalion and baggage battalion will be greatly reduced; Each artillery battalion is equipped with 30 Great Buddha cannons, 30 Tiger Cannons, and 20 Divine Cannons (large rocket artillery), and 500 soldiers, including 50 bird gunners and 50 sword and shield men as escorts; The baggage battalion had 500 soldiers.

Cavalry divisions and infantry divisions are organized in the same way, specifically:

Five people are a team, with a team commander, and a total of five people in a team;

The three flags are one flag, with a total of one flag, and a total of 16 people in one flag;

Three flags for a game, set up a hundred total, a total of 49 people;

The three bureaus are a division, with a total of one general and a total of 148 people;

The three divisions are one department, with a total of one thousand, and a total of 445 people;

The three divisions consisted of a brigade with a guerrilla general, totaling 1,336 men:

The third brigade is a division, with one garrison, and a total of 4,09 men in the first division.

Each guerrilla general was to be accompanied by a personal guard consisting of fifty officers and men, and twenty who did not collect at night; Each garrison will be accompanied by a personal guard consisting of a hundred soldiers, and thirty will not be collected at night. Therefore, the total strength of the first division was 4,349 men.

In the end, General Lu, General Wen and the generals will also be equipped with a division of troops, a total of 300 craftsmen and healers responsible for repairing equipment, and a regular barracks of 4,000 people as direct troops, of which half are bird soldiers and half melee soldiers. In this way, the number of troops under each command will reach 22,844!

In addition, in the pacesetter battalion under the command of the Governor, the Longxiang Iron Cavalry will be expanded to 8,000 men, and there will be three infantry battalions, also a firearms division, two melee divisions, as well as an artillery battalion and a baggage battalion, and there will be 300 craftsmen and medical craftsmen; The generals and other officers and men in the pacesetter battalion are also the same as those of the battalions, and the strength of the divisional pacesetter battalion should be 22,495 people.

If the battalions of our Hanwei Army are reorganized according to this plan, the entire army of our Hanwei Army will be divided into eight battalions and one pacesetter battalion, with a total of 25,247 soldiers! It can be said that the military is strong and ranks first in the Ming Dynasty! ”

After Zhou Tianyi finished speaking impassionedly, everyone in the lobby raised their arms and shouted, loudly venting their boiling blood and pride in their hearts. What does 200,000 elite troops mean? That would mean that any Tartar captives who dared to invade the Ming Dynasty would face annihilation, and they would all suffer the ruthless wrath of the Han soldiers! That will mean that the restoration of Liaodong is just around the corner, the blood feud of tens of millions of Liaodong souls will be avenged, and the murderous and barbaric Jiannu will be wiped out!

And Liu Yunwei added another fierce fire when everyone was indulging in cheers, and said loudly: "In view of the continuous convergence of displaced people from Henan, Shaanxi, and Shandong to Beizhili and various towns, this governor has decided that Shanhai Town, Jizhou Town, and Tongzhou Town will start tuntian in an all-round way, and all military towns will immediately begin to measure the wasteland under their jurisdiction, and recruit displaced people from all over the country to carry out military tuning as military households. Two years! The governor's Shanhai Town will raise 40,000 Tuntian soldiers within two years, and Jizhou Town and Tongzhou Town will each raise 30,000 Tuntian soldiers, and these 100,000 Tuntian soldiers will be used as auxiliaries of the Hanwei army, and when the troops go north in the future, they will go north to Liaodong with the 200,000 main army and slaughter Jiannu! ”

After the Hanwei Army has already reorganized 100,000 Tuntian soldiers, it will increase its troops by another 100,000 within two years! At that time, the strength of the Hanwei army will reach a terrifying 300,000 people! This news is like a strong medicine, which makes everyone stunted and unable to help themselves. At this moment, no one thinks about where the money and food for the army comes from, no one thinks about how much effort it takes, and no one thinks about whether the dynasty can support the Northern Expedition of 300,000 troops, and there is only one thought in everyone's heart, that is: war! Fight with 300,000 comrades in Liaodong!

At this time, Liu Yunwei was also enthusiastic, and said secretly: "I have finished the layout, and then it will be up to me to see which step I can do!" As long as I can do it, there will be no reason for the Jiannu Tartars to survive! The Han family has 300,000 soldiers, just ask who in the world can stop it! ”
