The plug Yinxi who said something was quite guilty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty's hole is like a candle flame, it is the incompetence of the ministers, and there is a negative grace." He stood up and prostrated himself.

Zhu Youlang waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said with relief: "Huguang is chaotic, the responsibility does not lie with Qing, Aiqing does not have to blame himself." Now that Mr. He has been summoned to the capital, Qing is the new governor of Huguang, and in the future, the important political affairs of the Huguang army can be decided by the secretary, and there will be no more worries about constraints. This time, I summoned Aiqing to Beijing, mainly to discuss with Aiqing how to deal with Huguang's loyalty camp. ”

Seeing that Corporal Lixian of the Emperor asked for his opinion, Du Yinxi let go and said: "Back to Your Majesty, at the beginning of the loyalty camp, although it was a battalion, it was actually different. Today's leaders, Li Chixin and Gao Bizheng, this is Li Chuang's descendant, Li Chuang's widow is now in his army, with 20,000 soldiers; Yuan Zong's first division was originally one of the main forces of Li Chuang's division, and now he and Hao Yongzhong are under the command of Yun Lao (He Tengjiao), and the soldiers of Yuan and Hao are about 14,500 people.

These 50,000 soldiers are the essence of the Chuang Department, and they are quite powerful. But they don't belong to each other, and they just happen to be used by my Ming. The ideas of the ministers should be divided into parts. Now they are just lost dogs, if Your Majesty can treat them equally...... Plug Yinxi slowed down and said, "The Tartar army used to resist the rebel king of Sanshun may get a big boost!" ”

Zhu Youlang snorted: "Loyal camp, if Daming can use it, it is the best, it can't be used, and it can't be used by Dongyu." Back then, Aiqing was able to overcome public opinion and appease her, especially the courage to ride alone, I still admire it.

I heard that Li Chuang also used to act as a robber in his early years, and later the military discipline was quite strict, but now he may not be able to control it. When it comes to the fundamental or salary, Huguang has been plagued by military disasters for many years, the people are extremely poor, and there are many moths in the government, so they can no longer levy grain, the so-called people who win the hearts of the people win the world, if the government is allowed to expropriate and requisit, there is no need to fight the king of Sanshun, and the people themselves will rebel after a few years!

Therefore, the food and salary of this loyal battalion, except for a part of Huguang's own funding, the remaining gap will be filled by the household department in the future, and the standard will be lowered to the first class of the Beijing camp forbidden army in the center! In fact, I had already thought about these things in advance, but there were a few joints that I was a little unsure of for a while, so I didn't make a decision. Blocking Aiqing is here, just to ask for advice! ”

"Your Majesty! The minister knows everything and says everything! ”

"First, I want to split the loyal battalion, Li Chixin's department, Yuan Zongdi's department, and Hao Yongzhong's department are each organized into a military town, and the commanders of each department are still Li Chixin, Yuan Zongdi, and Hao Yongzhong. Previously, it was because of the fear that they would rebound, so the center has not moved. Now, listening to what Aiqing said, I think there shouldn't be any big problem. ”

Du Yinxi nodded.

"The other is their family." Zhu Youlang counted with his fingers: "Although they have 50,000 soldiers and horses, they still have more than 200,000 family members, how should these more than 200,000 family members be settled?"

To put it mildly, after all, the loyal battalion is a person who breaks into the department, has a feud with the Ming Dynasty, and one day will be a minister in the same hall, and there will definitely be some suspicion and estrangement between each other, for them, Dongyu is also very important, and has already accepted a lot, although Li Chixin and other departments are not as good as the Manmeng Eight Banners, but they are also quite combative, if they fall to the slaves, the consequences are unpredictable!

Therefore, it is far from enough to rely on the loyalty of the head of his department, and the imperial court cannot do without the means of checks and balances, food and salary are one of them, and the second is that I feel that I can place their families in Guangxi, which now has a large number of vacant guards and military fields, and there is a shortage of people to cultivate, if they are arranged, the land will be allocated and resettled. First, it can be used as a hostage, so that the imperial court can control its subordinates, and secondly, the rear is stable, and the loyal battalion can also fight with peace of mind.

In this way, the safety and food and clothing of their families have been guaranteed, which not only stabilizes the morale of the army, but also solves part of the problem of military salaries, and reduces the burden of Huguang. ”

"Wonderful!" Du Yinxi praised, feeling that the new emperor was really far-sighted and thoughtful.

"However, to be honest, I am still a little worried, and I am afraid that all 50,000 soldiers will be put in Huguang, and in the future, it will become a problem for raising tigers!" Zhu Youlang said bluntly.

When Du Yinxi heard this, he patted his chest and promised: "Your Majesty is too worried about this!" If His Majesty can trust Weichen, Weichen will urge them to ensure that they will not travel when they resist the Tartars. ”

"Can these tens of thousands of horses really all be obedient and obedient, so that Aiqing can be called like an arm?"

Plug Yinxi said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, before the thief died, he was afraid that someone would seize power, saying that he was promoted and rewarded with military merits, but among several generals, it was actually half a catty and eight taels, and no one would accept anyone!" The more prestigious Liu thief Zong Min died early, and the less prestigious Li Xin was killed by the thieves, and by now, these people are already divided and can't be screwed together!

Otherwise, with these elite soldiers, Weichen and Yun Lao can still be in Huguang'an Town for three years? As long as it is divided and ruled, and there is the central Jingying Forbidden Army as the backing, it is not difficult to unify it! ”

"Then I can rest assured." Zhu Youlang nodded, and led the topic to the thirteen towns of Huguang.

He Tengjiao ran Huguang, once known as the thirteen towns, namely Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi, Liu Chengyin, Li Chixin, Hao Yongzhong, Yuan Zongdi, Wang Jincai, Dong Ying, Cao Zhijian, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Shixiu, Wang Yuncheng, Lu Ding, and later Zhao Yinxuan, Hu Yiqing's Dian army. Li Chixin, Hao Yongzhong, Yuan Zongdi, Wang Jincai, etc. are the remnants of the Chuang Army, Dong Ying and others are the Chinese army promoted by He Tengjiao, and Zhang Xianbi, Zhao Yinxuan, and Hu Yiqing are all Yunnan troops from Yunnan.

In the thirteen towns of Huguang, in addition to Li Chixin, Hao Yongzhong, and Yuan Zongdi, who have the most soldiers and horses and the strongest combat effectiveness, the combat strength of the Yunnan military camp of Zhang Xianbi, Zhao Yinxuan and others is slightly weaker, and it can barely be used.

The worst combat power is a few Huguang indigenous military towns, such as the Governor Battalion Dong Yingbu, the Huang Dynasty Xuan Department, Lu Ding Department, these local warlord towns always seem to be a group of rabble, except for robbing the people, harassing the place, almost useless, and He Tengjiao's incompetence and sloppy military discipline has a great relationship, as soon as the soldiers of the Sanshun King arrived, they surrendered without firing a shot.

These traitorous feudal towns like grass on the wall have no national righteousness in their hearts, nor do they have the idea of being a monarch and a minister, and they are as good as Lu Bubi. Now there are governors pressing them, and they can barely command the same order in peacetime, once the Manchurian army attacks, even if it is just the traitor army of King Sanshun, they do not have the slightest courage to resist, and they surrender as soon as possible, and these potential traitor military towns must be cleared in advance.
