Emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree to revoke the establishment of the Rehe Town Guard Mansion, not because he had an opinion on Cao Wenzhao, nor because he was dissatisfied with the establishment of the Town Guard Mansion.

Rather, the setting of the Rehe Town Guard House itself is a temporary and transitional setting.

When he first introduced this new system, it was for a temporary purpose, once the population of Han immigrants and the area of cultivated fields increased to a certain number, he would revoke this system, and then the land under his jurisdiction would be truly returned to the territory of China and the hands of the imperial court.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen would not doubt the loyalty of Cao Wenzhao and his Wulie battalion, but the design of the imperial court system could not be based on trust in a certain person's character.

After all, the establishment of the integration of military and government and military and civilian integration in the town guard government, as well as the system of integrating military power and financial power in the town guard, are as prominent as their strengths and weaknesses.

Its advantage is that the integration of the military and government of the town guard government and the military and the people gives the town guard a completely unchecked power.

This arbitrary power is very necessary in the frontier areas far away from the capital and the court.

But this strength is also its weakness.

That is, the power of the town guard envoy was not restricted, and it was easy to develop into a feudal town warlord like the jiedu envoy in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen doesn't trust Cao Wenzhao's character, but this place guarded by Rehe Fort outside Jizhen is too important for the Ming Jingshi.

Once the town guards with arbitrary power are ineffective, then this place will immediately become a major hidden danger that can directly threaten the Kyoshi.

However, if the town guard house with relatively mature conditions such as population, castle, military cantonment, and civil tun is changed to the same separation of civil, judicial, and military powers as in the interior, and then there is a province with a competent governor sitting on it, then this hidden danger will not exist.

For a period of time after the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting in the third year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen enjoyed a rare time of harem pleasure, while silently thinking about the establishment and restructuring of the town guard mansion in his heart.

Those that should be established will continue to be established.

And if the conditions are relatively mature and should be restructured, it naturally cannot be delayed.

Among them, the first town guard that needs to be restructured is the Rehe town guard.

It just so happened that Cao Wenzhao was ordered to take the main cavalry of Rehe Town to the west to Duolun and naturalization, and then followed Li Banghua to continue west to recover the Hetao.

So Emperor Chongzhen made the decision to restructure the Rehe town guard, set up three divisions and set up the governor of Rehe.

Of course, after conferring Cao Wenzhao as the title of Earl of Anyuan, although Emperor Chongzhen removed him from the position of the envoy of Rehe Town, and at the same time revoked the Rehe Town Guard, he did not put the sword of Cao Wenzhao and his martial arts battalion into the sheath.

On the contrary, while abolishing the Rehe Town Guard, Emperor Chongzhen set up four more towns in one breath in the arrangement of meritorious generals.

The first town guard mansion is the Shuofang town guard mansion specially tailored for Cao Wenzhao and his martial arts battalion.

The place under its jurisdiction is the Urad front and rear banner area of Bayannur in western Inner Mongolia in later generations, that is, the famous Houtao Plain at the foot of Wolf Mountain.

The land is fertile and abundant, with vast natural pastures at the southern foot of Wolf Mountain and large areas of farmland on both sides of the Yellow River.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, this place was Shuofang County in the Chinese territory, and at this time it was under the jurisdiction of Shuofang Town Shoufu by Emperor Chongzhen.

And the first Shuofang town guard envoy was naturally served by An Yuanbo Cao Wenzhao, a figure with the resume and rich experience of the Rehe town guard.

The second town guard house set up this time is the Jiuyuan town guard house.

Baoketu was later called Baotou, which is a transliteration of the Mongolian language, which means a place with deer.

But in the history of the Chinese nation, this place called Baotou in later generations is called Jiuyuan.

This time, the Hetao was taken over to China, and naturally it could no longer use the name given by the Mongols such as Baoketu.

When planning and arranging this matter, Emperor Chongzhen just stood in front of the giant sand table of Wuying Palace, and after setting the location of the four newly established town guard mansions, the military aircraft department and the military aircraft counselor of the Ministry of War, Lang Zhong, and the directors quickly helped to choose the name, and there was no need for Emperor Chongzhen to name it personally.

The candidate who was appointed to serve as the town guard of Jiuyuan Town Guard Mansion was Liu Zhaoji, the deputy commander of Tiance Wei next to the emperor, and the newly promoted first-class viscount Liu Zhaoji.

Of course, those young Zhuang generals who were carefully cultivated by Emperor Chongzhen's side couldn't stay in the Forbidden City forever, because the intention of selecting them to his side was to put them in a more important position in the future.

In Zhu Xieyuan's report to Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court, Liu Zhaoji and his deputy Mo Hejing were full of praise for the performance of Liu Zhaoji, the deputy commander of Tiancewei, and his deputy Mo Hejing.

This also provided a sufficient reason for Emperor Chongzhen to promote and reuse these two people.

This time, with the position of the envoy of the Jiuyuan Town Guard, Emperor Chongzhen counted the military attaches of the Young Zhuang faction around him, and finally found that Liu Zhaoji was the most suitable.

Liu Zhaoji was born as a cavalry general in Shanhai Town, and he was good at cavalry combat, so he was naturally suitable for the combat environment outside the northwest river.

At the same time, the experience of teaching martial arts, the experience of the military attache in front of the imperial chamberlain, and the experience of Chongzhen leading more than 1,000 musketeers of Tiance Wei to fight in the southwest with muskets and artillery in the second year also made him attach great importance to the emperor's firearms tactics and the new firearms equipment of the imperial court.

These two conditions contributed to Emperor Chongzhen's arrangement.

And after Liu Zhaoji resigned from the post of deputy commander of Tiancewei, he was naturally replaced by his deputy Mo Youjing.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen set up the third town guard mansion according to the proposal of the Ministry of War, which was the Wuchuan town guard mansion.

The candidate for the post of Wuchuan Town Guard is Liu Tianlu, a fierce general under Zu Dashou who is good at cavalry raids.

The reason why the cavalry of the Datong Border Army under the command of Zu Dashou is privately called the Zujia Army is mainly because he has a group of hardcore generals brought from Liaodong.

These hardcore generals are not all the children of the ancestral family with the surname Zu, and there are also a group of fierce generals like Liu Tianlu who are not from the ancestral family.

With Zu Dashou being transferred to Datong, the children of the ancestral family around him were less than half, among the brothers, in addition to Zu Dacheng followed to Datong Town, and finally died in the killing of Hukou, the fierce general among the sons and nephews, the adopted son Zu Kefa died in the victory fort.

The eldest son, Zu Zerun, was dismissed by the emperor from the position of Jinyi Wei Datong Qianhu because of dereliction of duty, got the Jingshi, and sent him to study in Guozijian.

And Zu Keyong, who was very brave and meritorious in battle, was also left by the emperor in the Forbidden City as the military attache of the imperial chamberlain this time.

Now, by Zu Dashou's side, there is only one Zu Zeyuan left in the ancestral family.

The right-hand man of the non-ancestral surname also suffered heavy losses in this battle, Zhang Hongmo was seriously injured and died in the end, Cao Gongcheng died in the battle formation of pursuing Huang Taiji, only Liu Tianlu must be the first in every battle but survived to the end.

This time, the merits of the border army of Datong Town fulfilled Zu Dashou, so that he got the lord of Uncle Wuchuan, but the border army of Datong Town under his command suffered heavy losses, and several fierce generals were killed, and there must be an explanation.

In addition to bereavement and posthumous gifts, there should also be a promotion reward among the living.

Niu Juming, who was also a staff member of the Ministry of War and a member of the Military Aircraft Department, participated in the planning of the entire reward program and post-war arrangements.

And it was his handiwork to let Zu Dashou's right-hand man Liu Tianlu leave Zu Dashou's side and serve as the envoy of Wuchuan Town.

Niu Juming is a natural conspiracy theorist, whether it is figuring out people's hearts or sowing discord, including nailing nails and mixing sand around various big people, which are all his forte.

As a staff officer, it is also his duty to prevent the formation of various mountains and factions in the army.

At the beginning, the emperor transferred Zu Dashou from the monolithic Liaodong Town and put him in Datong Town, which made Niu Juming, who learned about it, admire it in his heart.

Since then, he has been silently observing the emperor's attitude towards the general soldiers of the towns on the nine sides, and over time, he thinks that he has understood the emperor's intentions, and all kinds of small actions emerge one after another, all in order to cater to the emperor's wishes.

There were some small movements, which were meant to be patted on the horse's feet but slapped on the horse's hooves.

But this time, letting Liu Tianlu leave Zu Dashou and go to be the town guard of Wuchuan Town Guard Mansion made Emperor Chongzhen's eyes shine.

Originally, at the end of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the Jianyu army to make a detour into Gyeonggi, Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to return to help, and when Emperor Chongzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan in the palace, he ordered him to be detained and imprisoned on the spot.

Zu Dashou was afraid that something would happen to him, and after leaving the city, he gave an order, and the Guanning army of more than 10,000 iron cavalry completely ignored the siege of Beijing by the Jianyu army, roared eastward, and in order to intercept the pursuing soldiers, he also burned Shanhaiguan.

This event, which had happened in history, made the current Emperor Chongzhen from later generations extremely impressed.

The Guanning army under the command of Zu Dashou, that is, the Guanning iron cavalry that cost countless money, food and financial resources of the Ming Dynasty to support and arm, is not the army of the imperial court at all.

They are Zu Dashou's own army.

So in this life, what he is most worried about is that he will be like the one in history, spending countless amounts of money on food and military salaries, but in the end he has cultivated one warlord after another.

Therefore, for Niu Juming's small actions, as long as they are not too excessive, what Emperor Chongzhen has adopted now is an attitude of acquiescence and connivance.

The same is true for the treatment of Dongjiang Town.

And this time, one of the four new border town guards set up by the imperial court in one fell swoop was on the newly occupied territory of Dongjiang Town.

This is the Tumen Town Guard's House.
