Jinyi Wei is in charge of direct driving, guards, patrols, arrests and other things, and is always supervised by Xun Qi, which belongs to the Experience Division, the North and South Town Fu Division, and the Fourteen Institutes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Experience the movement of the master in and out; Beizhen Fusi was in charge of the edict and prison, and he played it himself, without going through the brocade guard; Nanzhen Fu Si is in charge of the name of the guard, and is also in charge of the military craftsman.
The fourteen institutes are: the Han generals (1,546 people) led by the pro-army are in charge of the attendants; The center, left, right, front, and back five leading soldiers, in charge of the honor guard of the Lu book, are divided into Luan Yu Division, Qinggai Division, Fan Hand Division, Jingjie Division, Banner Division, Banjian Division, Axe and Yue Division, Ge Halberd Division, Bow and Arrow Division, and Horse Taming Division; Upper middle, upper left, upper right, upper front, upper back, middle and rear six leaders, military craftsmen, thieves and treacherous palaces, street ditches, etc.; The elephants led by the elephants are enslaved and kept for the court to display, drive, and carry treasures; Flag-bearer guard thousand households, affiliated school captain (note: flag-bearer weili is subordinate to the flag-bearer).
In addition to the above, there are also under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, Zhiting (Yamen Office), Prison (Imperial Prison) and so on. Its grain is taken from 5052 hectares of tuntian in Beijing, and the grain enters Tongzhou and Jingcang, and the craftsmen of this guard receive it in Tongzhou Cang, and the rest of the officials and flag schools are equal to Jingcang.
Because there are no permanent members of the Jinyi Wei Enyin, there are many officials such as commanders and envoys, and if there is no indication that they are in charge of health affairs and stewards, they are only nominal officials (i.e., with salaries). For example, the current Jinyi Guard commanders include Luo Sigong, Tian Ershu (hereditary), Yang Guangkui (the eldest son of Yang Chunyuan), Wang Tianyi, Wang Yingyuan, etc., among which only Luo Sigong is the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
……
Nanzhen Fu Sidu commanded Tian Ergeng because he failed to pass the military examination in the 40th year of Wanli, and was dismissed, and the former official was supported in Jinyiwei. After Zhu Youxiao ascended to the pole, he was reinstated by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and asked him to act as a craftsman and be responsible for casting bird bayonets.
Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, not only can the military department not ask, but when Tian Ergeng entered the palace, Sun Chengzong, the minister of military aircraft, also retired with interest.
After Zhu Youxiao waited for Tian Ergeng, who was fifty years away, to see the salute, he asked knowingly, "How much is the bayonet cast?" ”
At present, only the Lumi bird gun and the bird's beak gun can be equipped with bayonets for close combat, and the rest such as the three-eyed gun, the child and mother gun, the abductor gun, the straight balance gun, and the Buddha wolf machine are of different shapes and are not suitable. In order to match the two bird guns, the bayonet shape was also different from that of later generations, because of the craftsmanship, it was not made into a deified three-edged stab, but an ordinary double-edged bayonet.
Tian Ergeng, who was wearing a straight body of the fish side to make up the collar, stared at the ground and replied, "The bayonets were cast by the edict, and after more than 20,000 military craftsmen rushed to make them day and night, they have all been handed over to the military department. ”
Zhu Youxiao ignored whether he was respectful or afraid in his heart, and directly ordered, "Nanzhen Fusi's pre-release, I want you to go to Guangzhou, are you willing to go?" ”
Tian Ergeng knew that there were hundreds of officials in Jinyi who could participate in the court, and he could be remembered by the Son of Heaven, so he was a little flattered, and knelt down and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty." ”
"Guangzhou salvaged thirty-six Hongyi cannons, and you will take someone to hire a merchant ship to transport all of them to Liaodong by sea." Zhu Youxiao got up and walked in front of Tian Ergeng, stared at his black gauze hat and said, "Let Xu Honggang, the governor of Liangguang, act cheaply, and exchange the Portuguese 20,000 taels of tax silver for next year for fifty cannons." ”
Zhu Youxiao knew that Portugal rented Xiangshanao, and in addition to paying 500 taels of silver every year, he also had to pay 20,000 taels of silver tax to the imperial court every year. The price of each of their guns was 1,000 taels, which showed that their profits were huge, so Zhu Youxiao wanted Xu Honggang to put pressure on them without declaring war and purchase as many firearms as possible to solve the urgent needs of Liaodong.
"I understand." Tian Ergeng peeked at the shoes under the yellow robe of the Son of Heaven and said respectfully.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether he really understood it or not, but still made his words clear, "Give Xu Honggang a message: The war in Liaodong has not been settled, so I don't want the war in the south to break out again, at least not now, Xu Honggang will stay as the governor of Liangguang for the time being, and he will weigh it well." ”
"Obey."
Zhu Youxiao thought that according to Wang Chengen's report, Hou Guoxing was dangling behind Ren Rongrong all day long, frowned and ordered, "Well, bring Hou Guoxing with you, let him follow the rise and gain knowledge." Go back and prepare, you must leave within two days, up to three months, if you miss the fighter, I only ask. ”
From Beijing to Guangzhou, it takes a month and a half for a fast horse to go back and forth, and this time it is impossible to transport cannons and other heavy goods, and if you take the land route and canal, it is simply impossible for three months. The only way to do this is by sea, and three months, excluding the time spent going south and purchasing guns, is only two months. Tian Ergeng knew that the time was quite urgent, but he still stubbornly agreed, "The minister will not disgrace his life." ”
Zhu Youxiao didn't mention rewards and punishments, he believed that if Tian Ergeng, who had more than 50 people, couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't be worthy of his fancy.

Liaoyang is the seat of the division of Liaodong Prefecture, after Hongwu, Yongle years of successive expansion, the circumference of the city is twenty-four miles. The city wall is made of bricks and rammed earth, the bottom is three zhang wide, the top is two zhang and three feet wide, and the height is three zhang and five feet.
Liaoyang is divided into two cities in the north and south, there are nine city gates in total, standing in the south city of Liaoyang and looking south, there are two south gates, the left is stable, the right is Taihe; There are also two east gates, the left is said to be leveled, and the right is said to be Guangshun; Ximen said Sujing; The north gate is said to be far away. There are three gates in the north city, East Yongzhi, West Wujing, and North Invincible.
Now, the roofs and streets in Liaoyang City are covered with snow, this is the third snow in winter, and the soldiers who have never seen snow in the south have no freshness, and the soldiers with bright armor are walking in the streets and alleys in two columns and three people, greeting each other, the northern and southern dialects are intertwined, and there is no solemnity in battle.
Different from the bitter cold in the city, several charcoal basins in the lobby of the Yamen of the Dusi were placed in the hall, and the warmth was warm, Xiong Tingbi sat down on the handsome case, not like the usual foul language, but said to the more than ten generals present with a smile on his face, "Today, the foresight is outstanding, so that the old and weak in the army and the women and children of Liaodong are all entering the customs, then the food, grass, and military salaries are no longer enough to worry about, and the generals must work diligently to drill and reorganize the army for war." ”
Xiong Tingbi previously wrote to beg to buy more bean materials in various places, saying that the area of Jinyi in Liaodong and Ningxi has no rain since spring and summer, and thousands of miles of red land; Duliaoyang Haigai is slightly wet with rain in early spring, and it is not intended that the drought in June and July will be abused, and the valley will be exhausted. The Liaoshen army has reached 100,000, and the annual estimate should be 2 million stones, which is enough for the cost of food and materials for the army and horses; There are now about 70,000 horses in each battalion, and the beans are 756,000 stone a year.
Now, after a series of measures such as transferring the people of Liaodong and part of their grain stocks into the city, and evacuating the old, weak, women and children back to the Guannei, under the condition of eliminating the growth of the other, the grain and grass in Liaodong will be enough to support the spring tax next year. And the silver issued by the Guangmiao, the winter clothes and firearms issued by the upper and lower levels will also arrive one after another, and Liaodong is already a quasi-elite division.
Xiong Tingbi knew that the Son of Heaven said in his secret decree that 'not to annihilate the enemy, but to protect himself', but it has been more than a year since he left the customs, and Jiannu has repeatedly invaded, and it is an unforgivable crime to trap the city and lose land. Now although he can't be called a general, he can be regarded as a good soldier, and the idea of shame in his heart quietly sprouted.
In addition to Li Shi, the imperial horse supervisor, there were He Shixian, who came from Shenyang, Chen Ce, Tong Zhonghua, veterans of the Sichuan soldiers, Liu Guangzuo, the commander of the Mao soldiers, Qin Liangyu, a local official, and his younger brothers Qin Bangping and Qin Minping, and Youyang local official Ran Yuelong. Except for the old and strong Chen Ce, everyone bowed down with a smile when they heard the words and said 'Deling'.
Zhang Mingshi, the criminal general, did not have the opportunity to attend such a high-level meeting, and led hundreds of generals in his own camp to exercise bayonets in front of the straw men in the teaching field, and he knew that whether he could turn over or not depends on how many heads Jiannu could kill next year.
