Chapter 80: Rectification of the Forbidden Army
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty originally had twenty-four yamen, counting the two yamen newly established by Yang Su, a total of twenty-six yamen. Among the 26 yamen, the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor are the most worthy of attention.
The celebrant examines and approves the cabinet tickets on behalf of the emperor, and the cabinet is confidential, which is actually the "internal minister". The Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies jointly execute the military handle, which is actually the "cardinal mansion" of the inner court.
Moreover, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also has to manage the pasture and the Imperial Village, operate the Imperial Store, and manage the finances with the households, and is the "internal steward" of the Ming Court.
Due to the position of the imperial horse supervisor in charge of the imperial horse, there are naturally horse breeders and horse trainers, which gave rise to a forbidden army led by the imperial horse supervisor - the four guard battalion and the warrior battalion, both of which are formed by the elite of each army, which can be regarded as the army directly under Yang Suzhen.
However, it was this army that made Yang Su couldn't help but be angry today.
"Pang Tianshou, how do you manage the army? If you can't manage it well, then tell me directly, and I will take care of it myself! Yang Su angrily threw the fold in the face of the imperial horse eunuch Pang Tianshou.
This Pang Tianshou is also a controversial figure, Chongzhen, Hongguang, Longwu, Yongli four dynasties of the imperial horse eunuch, in the Yongli period was the eunuch of the ceremonies, once coerced Yongli Zen Sun Kewang! It stands to reason that Yang Su should have killed him with a knife for such a character, but although Yang Su took the history of the Ming Dynasty in his mind as a reference, he would never be stupid to believe in the history of the Ming Dynasty, he had his own judgment.
How can a complex political figure be described in just a few sentences in a history book? Different positions will make them behave differently, and the original historical ministers may be able to become loyal ministers in the hands of Yang Su. But today he really doesn't want to say a word to this Pang Tianshou!
"Slaves don't dare! Please ask the emperor to give the slave another chance! The slave and maid must do things well, otherwise the slave and maid will come to see the emperor! Pang Tianshou knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"The opportunity is not for you, you are for yourself! See what is written on this fold? After the Jinyi Guard attacked the Baimang Mountain Demon Sect camp head-on according to the plan, it was found that the warrior camp and the Siwei battalion did not arrive in time, and finally the demon sect escaped from the back mountain, but fortunately, the Jinyi Guard chased and killed most of the demons in time, otherwise they would have really escaped from under the noses of tens of thousands of troops!
It's ridiculous that my forbidden army can't keep up with the logistics people! I spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, mobilized a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and in the end I almost fell short! You Pang Tianshou is simply damned! Yang Su slapped the table in annoyance.
"The emperor is angry, the slave and maid should die, the emperor is angry!" Pang Tianshou kept kowtowing.
"Of course you deserve to die, but is it useful for you to die? This group of wastes failed to arrive at the vast mountain on time, and when they found out that Jinyiwei had broken through the Demon Sect camp, they didn't use their merits to atone for their sins to chase down the demons, and dared to compete with Jinyiwei for the spoils of war, and snatched tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver from Jinyiwei's hands, which was simply a crime that deserved death! Dare to rob me of the silver, do they want to rebel? Yang Su angrily stepped off the dragon chair, his eyes full of murderous intent!
"The emperor's slave and maid have the battle report sent from the front line here, the loot has been ascertained, it is some soldiers who are bold when they see the money, and it has nothing to do with the generals in the battalion, they have taken down those soldiers, and all the stolen money has been recovered! Moreover, the delay of the fighters, according to the supervisor Liu Zhu, was caused by the mistake of the map provided by Jinyiwei and the indiscriminate command of the guide, which caused them to get lost, not intentionally! Pang Tianshou explained poignantly.
"You mean to say that the Jinyi Guard is deliberately framing the warrior camp, and my pro-army is trapping my forbidden army?" Yang Su suddenly turned his head and glared at Pang Tianshou, his eyes flashing with a sharp mang.
"Slaves and maids don't have that, slaves and maids have no such intentions! But this matter is indeed the responsibility of Jinyiwei! Pang Tianshou's heart tightened and he hurriedly explained.
"What about the map provided by Jinyiwei? What about the guide? Yang Su asked.
"Map, map accidentally lost! When the guide led the way, he fell into a deep pit and his bones were gone! Pang Tianshou said with a pale face, scolding the pigs in the warrior camp in his heart, and more than 10,000 people couldn't see a map!
"The map is wrong, without a guide, is it possible that the generals of the warrior battalion are so wasted that they can't even tell the direction?" Yang Suqiu asked.
"They said that there was no guide, and the map was also wrong, so they were afraid of getting lost in the deep forest, so they sent someone back to ask for a guide!" Pang Tianshou replied with a cold sweat.
"Even so, that's enough time! I ask you, when did my forbidden army fall to the point where they dared to disobey the military order and not arrive in time after traveling 30 miles a day for three consecutive days? Explain it to me! Yang Su asked reluctantly.
"Your Majesty, this is because they have been delayed in the deep forest for a few days, and the food they brought is not enough, so they are unable to march!" Pang Tianshou was about to cry.
"Then why don't they bring more food?" Yang Su asked angrily.
"They thought that it was only a three-day journey, so they didn't bring the people to escort the food, but they just carried a few days of dry food, but they didn't expect it to go wrong!" Pang Tianshou kowtowed and cried.
"It's all rubbish! What do I want you to do, you let me go and guard the tomb with Wang Dehua! Yang Su scolded, looked angry, and asked Luo Yangxing angrily, "Is the army back?" ”
"Emperor Qi, just now Jinyi Wei came to tell you that the army has arrived twenty miles outside the city, and it will arrive in the afternoon!" Luo Yangxing replied.
"Cheng'en, I order you to order all the guards and soldiers in the palace! Luo Yangxing, I order you to immediately gather the captains of the five institutes and assemble and wait outside the south gate of the capital! I will personally go to the barracks to greet the soldiers who go out to fight, and reward them for their meritorious deeds! A hint of murder flashed in Yang Su's eyes, he has been getting this brocade guard for a few days, but he has been holding back because the army is outside, and it is still controlled by those eunuchs and generals, and now that the army has returned to the camp, it is time for him to start settling the account!
Although the warrior battalion and the four guard battalions are named horses, they are actually forbidden soldiers, anti-rape and insults, and have a great relationship, and the military camp is also set up separately, and it is not together with the three major battalions in the capital.
Yang Su rarely took the Son of Heaven today, and rode a horse with thousands of pro-army people to the front of the barracks.
There was no one at the gate of the huge camp, Yang Su angrily rode his horse into the barracks, and the pro-army behind him immediately followed the guards beside him and rushed into the barracks with Yang Su.
At this time, the soldiers in the battalion noticed that there was something abnormal, and came out to check in disheveled clothes, some soldiers also tidied up their pants and scolded and poked their heads out to check the situation outside, and there were even women's voices in the house, until they found that thousands of troops were pouring into the camp, these soldiers hurriedly came out with weapons to gather.
Yang Suze rode to the side of the general platform, dismounted and walked up to the high platform, swept the hundreds of soldiers who hurried below him, and shouted with a serious expression, "Come on, beat the drum and gather the general!" Jin Yiwei guarded the gate of the camp for me, and if he didn't arrive at the school after a quarter of an hour, no matter who he was, he would take it down for me and be punished for dereliction of duty! Then send someone to inform the army outside the city, and I will be waiting for them here today, and reward them for their deeds!" ”
