No. 090 Reform of the Jinyi Guard
After a series of reorganization and reorganization of the army, the righteousness of the three loyalists was fully digested, and the old and weak who were eliminated were given certain compensation and sent home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the end, the total strength of the Ming Dynasty was as follows: 1. The Son of Heaven directly governed the guards and army of the land division and auxiliary troops, with a total of 14,000 soldiers and horses in one town, divided into four field corps and one battalion of the Miyagi Guards and one battalion of the Son of Heaven Guards (including hundreds of personal guards). The establishment of the Han generals and the nominal government military guards, the bannerman guard, the Jin Wuwei, the Yulin guard, the tiger Benwei and other twelve pro-army guards were abolished.
At the same time, Zhu Youlang conformed to the will of the people and abolished the notorious institution of Jinyiwei, and the order of the abolition was ordered, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the people were greatly relieved.
The Manchu civil and military forces were so boiling and excited, and they couldn't blame them, it was really the Jinyiwei spy agency that left too many psychological shadows on them and their predecessors.
In the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a gentry or a businessman, or a small people, as long as they hear the three words of Jinyiwei, all of them change color, Jinyiwei is synonymous with cruelty and horror, Shinong industry and commerce, it is pervasive and ubiquitous, just like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows, creepy factory guard torture, hell-like edicts, bloody torture instruments, peeling skin and filling grass, eighteen kinds of torture, so that the people of the world are soldiers.
During the reign of the Ming Dynasty, in the past three hundred years, Jinyiwei has set off several bloody climaxes, and the number of people arrested and executed at one time is tens of thousands.
Although the existence of Jinyiwei did play a role in maintaining the imperial power and stabilizing the Ming Dynasty, the side effects were not small, its existence trampled on the rule of law in the Ming Dynasty, independent investigation power, arrest and trial power, and made the country's judicial department Criminal Department and Dali Temple become a rubber stamp. The careerists in Jinyiwei take advantage of the imperial power to protect them, often abuse their powers, bend the law for bribes, and crack down on dissidents, resulting in unjust, false and wrongful cases, causing party disputes, making the monarchs and ministers deviate from morality, and the pheasants and dogs are restless, and the barbaric **** behavior also makes corruption spread, poison the world, and the foundation of national rule is eroded and hollowed out little by little.
Therefore, it is imperative to reform and optimize the secret service organs, and the abolition of Jinyiwei is only the first step, the reason is not that the existence of the secret service is bad, but its reputation is too stinky, and the power setting is not very reasonable. In the battle, you will be passive everywhere, and you will realize it later, and the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
Therefore, after the Jinyi Guard was abolished, Zhu Youlang followed closely behind, and quietly established two independent spy agencies that directly obeyed the emperor's orders, the Inner Zhenfu Division and the Outer Zhenfu Division, among which the Inner Zhenfu Division was responsible for investigating the hundreds of officials of the people, exploring trends, whether there was any rebellion, controlling public opinion, collecting intelligence, etc. to maintain imperial power; The Outer Town Fu Division is responsible for external reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, collection of public opinion maps, mapping the terrain, plotting rebellion and co-optation, and sabotage.
The two institutions, the two pacification envoys, one externally and the other internally, are independent of each other, supervise each other and contain each other, which can effectively prevent the secret service from being difficult to control and beyond the control of the emperor. At the same time, in order to prevent the new secret service from generating uncontrollable destructive power and repeating the mistakes of Jinyiwei, Zhu Youlang only gave the investigation power of the Nei Zhen Fu Division and banned the right to arrest and judge. For the time being, the power of arrest and trial was all handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and the power and responsibility of the Outer Town Fu Division was relatively large, and as long as the emperor approved, he could secretly arrest and interrogate enemy personnel when necessary.
Among them, the palm print of the town Fusi is the original Jinyiwei Baihu Wang Kang who has made great contributions in the hoe rape operation, Wang Kang is from the Jinyi Wei martial arts family, the ancestors of the Jinyi Wei, proficient in reconnaissance and exploration, he himself is also an old spy, in the past 20 years, he has served Chongzhen, Hongguang, Longwu, Yongli, has a wealth of spy experience, the only thing that is a little lacking is that the qualifications are too shallow, want to be useful, and need to sharpen it, there is no general in Shu, for the time being, Liao Hua can only be a pioneer.
Wei Guangchuan is a geographer, can speak more than 20 dialects in four or five southern provinces, and the characters and customs of various places, mountains and rivers are clearly felt, and it is very suitable for him to be the palm print of the Fusi of the outer town.
As for the original Jinyi Wei Governor Guo Chenghao, because when Zhu Youlang planned to cut off Chen Bangfu in the town of Bahu Domain, he was not very honest, and was willing to act as the internal response of the ministers, stepping on two boats, after Chen Bangfu was killed, the East Window Incident occurred, and Zhu Youlang was decisively executed.
To get back to the point, after the establishment of the four field corps directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven was determined, the appointment letters of officers at all levels were also promulgated shortly, among which the regimental command system of the first corps was Zhang Jiayu, one of the three loyalists in Lingnan, although Zhang Jiayu was a civil minister, but in the Longwu years, he not only supervised the army as a military department, but also fought a few battles with the Qing army, at this time Zhang Jiayu was no longer a scholar who had a first glimpse of the mystery of war, and the two-year battlefield battle honed his will, and the flying flesh and blood exercised his courage. The battle of wits with the Qing army allowed him to slowly master the trick of military design, so that he learned a lot of war experience in two years, and had the potential to become a generation of famous generals.
He was a staunch proponent of the policy of elite troops, believing that the factor determining the combat effectiveness of an army was not its quantity, but its quality. Therefore, before Li Chengdong's battle, the number of volunteers under Zhang Jiayu's command was the smallest, only one or two thousand, but they were very brave, they were all strong villagers who eliminated the old and weak, and they were all related by blood to each other. And the long-lasting defense battle of Qingyuan is an extremely wonderful answer sheet handed in by Zhang Jiayu, who has transformed from a literati to a military general. Therefore, after the reorganization of the new army, in line with the principle of making the best use of things, Zhu Youlang did not hesitate to appoint him as the commander of the first regiment.
The regimental command of the second regiment is the former Jiao Lian's fierce general Tang Wenyao, Tang Wenyao was originally Jiao Lian's family Ding team leader, heroic personality, riding and shooting are very powerful, and the battle is also fierce, when Li Chengdong besieged Wuzhou, Tang Wenyao as Jiao Lian's deputy, together with him out of the city raid on the Qing army, that a raid battle, five hundred iron cavalry in the Qing army in the army formation, greatly increased the prestige of the Ming army, Tang Wenyao also set up the first merit in defending the city, and then it has made great contributions in the defense of Wuzhou and Zhaoqing, in terms of merit, objectively speaking, second only to Jiao Lian, Therefore, in order to raise merit and balance the Jiao forces in the army, Zhu Youlang asked him to be the commander of the second regiment.
