When leaving the Qianqing Palace, Wang An was kept by Fang Congzhe and others to ask questions about the east and west, and did not show it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Ye Xiang, who returned to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, sat down on the throne, he asked Li Shi with a serious face, "Can Teng Xiang Siwei pull out, are you sure?" ”

Li Shi looked at Zou Yi and Shen Yin who were traveling with him, and his expression was a little embarrassed, "The slave has just led the imperial horse prison for more than a month, but when he saw that the officers and soldiers of the four guards were all strong and strong, he thought he could give it a try." ”

Li Shi was previously promoted by the temple to the palm seal of the East Palace Warden Bureau, knowing that the soldiers are still martial arts is a must, Zhu Changluo used him to replace the original imperial horse eunuch Cui Wensheng, it can be seen that he is also quite trusted, Ye Xiang has no own team, so he has to continue to use the people left by the cheap father.

"War is a death story, but you can't have such thoughts." Ye Xiang has never led soldiers, but he has also learned a lot of knowledge from the Anti-Japanese War drama, "These people have been raised by people for so many years, and it is time to do their part to protect my country." I have to sit in the capital division recently, and I don't have a chance to go on patrol, so I don't need them for the time being, and it is also expedient to send them to Liaodong. ”

In this era of inconvenient transportation, the mobility of the cavalry should not be underestimated, and Teng Xiang Siwei, as the emperor's personal army, has more than 20,000 people, responsible for protecting the left and right wings when the emperor goes out. Now most of the ministers in the court are left behind when they were in the temple, whether they can be used or not, whether it is worth entrusting or not will take time to test, if Ye Xiang is bold and proactive, maybe there will be a fire in the backyard, and he has to sit firmly on the throne before considering anything else.

Ye Xiang's view of the Shenji Battalion is the same as that of Teng Xiang Siwei, firearms and gunpowder should be allowed to exert their due power, instead of putting gunpowder in the warehouse to mold and make artillery battles, it is better to dump all of them on the battlefield and let them bloom in the enemy's camp. The battlefield is where they come from.

"The slave understands that when he goes back, he must tighten the restraint of those rabbit cubs and ensure that he will not embarrass the Lord Banzai when he arrives in Liaodong."

"Well, we must cultivate their blood, so that they will scream when they hear the battle, instead of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and shrinking back. So, the person who leads the troops is very important, do you have the right person? "Ye Xiang is taking it to the doctrine, although we don't have the second battalion commander's Italian cannon now, at least we should have the spirit of the bright sword.

Li Shi heard that the Son of Heaven meant not to let him lead the troops, so he was a little anxious, so he hurriedly ran to the imperial case, kowtowing and pleading, "Your Majesty, let the slaves go, since we entered the palace, we have never been out of the capital." The slave has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he no longer asks himself. I also want to let the group of scholars in the outer court see that our men are not vegetarians, although they are missing objects, they still know how to lead troops to fight and fight on the battlefield. I don't dare to compare with the Three Treasure eunuchs back then, but I can also worry about the king. Ask the emperor to fulfill it! ”

The Three Treasures Eunuch is Zheng He, his original name was Ma He, and the Three Treasures are nicknames, which are well known to future generations because of their seven trips to the West and the prestige of our country. The eunuchs of the Ming Palace have always regarded him as a role model, after all, who doesn't want to be recognized and praised.

Ye Xiang had the habit of turning around when thinking about problems, and when he heard that Li Shi was willing to lead the troops, he paced back and forth in the hall again, weighing the gains and losses. After a few laps, he had already made up his mind, "It's okay, I'll let you go." However, you should remember that it is not the time for a decisive battle with Jiannu in a short period of time, and you must not fight the enemy until you have to, and you must kill the enemy for the purpose, but you must not be afraid of the enemy, and this degree is up to you when the time comes. In addition, don't compete with Xiong Tingbi, He Shixian and other foreign ministers for merit and profit, you are a minister, whether you work hard or not, I have eyes and can see. ”

Ye Xiang saw that he nodded like pounding garlic, painted a cake for him, and continued, "As for the position of the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor...... I'll keep it for you, and I'll find someone else to take my place first. If you don't disappoint me, I promise to make your name go down in history. ”

"Slave thanks, Lord Longen."

Ye Xiang promised to benefit and move in the name of Li Shi, and asked Li Shi to prepare for the expedition after ten days, and promised to personally go to the oath to see him off.

When Zou Yi and Shen Yin saw Li Shi leaving, they also wanted to retire, but they were stopped by Ye Xiang, "Don't think that this matter has nothing to do with you, although my orders have been issued, there are concerns about whether they can carry them out without mistakes, and it depends on you to pay more attention to me." ”

Zou Yi recently fell into a good feeling of being in power, "Long live Lord, don't worry, Dongchang is the emperor's eagle dog, and now the people under our hands are obedient." As long as you give an order, we will take whoever you say, and we will never hesitate to kill people, ensure that you do not frown, and do things for you neatly. ”

Ye Xiang was stunned at first, and then smiled, "Look at what you said, do you think I am a tyrant who loves to kill!" Well, the words are not rough, the East Factory is my eyes, ears, hands and feet. You should pay more attention to the recent movements of the DPRK and China, and report to me at any time. ”

"Yes, the slave obeys."

※※※※

After Zou Yi left, Ye Xiang took Shen Yin and Wang Chengen to the warm pavilion in the west of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and sat on the wooden kang by the window, from the open window, you could see everything in the Heart Cultivation Gate.

Shen Yin saw that the Son of Heaven's right arm was propped up on the table, and his left hand was drawing circles back and forth on the edge of the dim sum plate, his eyes were staring at him tightly like a lover, and there was no expression on his face, and he didn't speak, so he felt uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help it, and learned from Zou Yi and said, "Long live Lord, you are staring at me so much, you will make an order if you have something, and the slave promises to let me catch chickens and never bite dogs." ”

The corners of Ye Xiang's mouth hooked up a beautiful amplitude, "What have you learned in Dongchang these days?" Let's hear it. ”

"These days, the slaves have gone around in the offices of the East Factory, and they have also followed the servants to the Yamen to listen to the notes, interrogate the prisoners, and inquire about the prices, and the deepest experience is that compared with the Jinyi Guard, the personnel of the East Factory are more streamlined, more efficient, and more confidential...... That's pretty much it. ”

Ye Xiang didn't know how the East Factory worked, so he didn't comment, "If you are asked to set up a similar organization, are you sure that you will get things done?" ”

"Your Majesty, are you worried about Grandpa Zou? Just replace it. The slave knows that there is not much silver in the treasury at the moment, you have just ascended the throne, and there are naturally a lot of rewards, it is the time to use silver, and this year's tax silver will arrive in Beijing for more than a month, so we can save it. ”

Ye Xiang seemed to hear the nagging of his parents, a little like Ke Yinyue who changed his clothes every day. Among the few people around him, Wang An is like a strict father, Ke Yinyue is like a loving mother, and Wang Tiqian is like a housekeeper, and this Shen Yin is more like a playmate.

Ye Xiang felt a little warm in his heart, and pointed to the opposite side of the wooden kang and asked him to sit next to him, but he couldn't live or die, so he moved a brocade stool from outside, and only sat for a small half, like a little daughter-in-law.

Seeing his performance, Ye Xiang continued with great relief, "Don't worry about the silver, I want to set up a new agency to be responsible for detecting the military and political intelligence of foreign feudal domains such as Jiannu, Hongyi, and Wakou. As for the name, well, wasn't Jinyiwei called Gong Weisi before? Let's use this name first, and take its meaning of guarding my Ming Dynasty. Place...... I have been exercising on the Forbidden City Wall in the past few days, and I have seen many houses inside and outside the palace city in the imperial city, so you can watch and do it. ”

The importance of intelligence, as a traverser, Ye Xiang knew very well, he wanted to take the CIA, the Central Union or the KGB or something, but it seemed too mismatched, and he still had to take it step by step.

Just in the court, Shen Yin only listened and didn't speak, and naturally could understand the importance that Xinjun attached to Liaodong, but he still raised his doubts, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have spies, if the personnel are not enough, it would be good to increase them." ”

At that time, the people talked about the factory guards, mainly because they had too much power and only obeyed the emperor's orders, and became the public enemies of the people. But in order to change the fate of the country, Ye Xiang must rely on these eagle dogs at the moment. As for the future, maybe it will be enough to become a name like the Security Bureau.

"The reputation of the factory guards ......," Ye Xiang shook his head, "If the manpower is increased at this time, I am worried that it will cause panic among the people, and the courtiers will join forces to oppose it." Moreover, the Gongwei Division should be a righteous institution for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be tarnished in the slightest. So you have to put a lot of effort into the selection of personnel, so I don't need to talk about it, right? ”

"The slaves can choose those who are innocent, shrewd and mediocre in appearance according to the East Factory, oh, and they must also understand the language of Jiannu and Tatar." Shen Yin saw Ye Xiang nodding in acquiescence, his heart was relieved, and he asked, "Your Majesty, does that Gongwei Division have a grade?" ”

Ye Xiang knew that Jinyiwei was a third-grade yamen, and Dongchang had no grade because it was a eunuch and a commander. This is because Taizu stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, so they were not given ranks.

"You choose the personnel yourself, and the money is enough, but in a few months, I will ask you for information. As for the arch guard...... There is no grade! However, in order to facilitate management and incentives, it should still be set up. After Ye Xiang finished speaking, he said to Wang Chengen, "You brought the military table that I asked you to ghostwrite two days ago, which is the military rank table prepared for Sun Chengzong." ”

Wang Chengen took the table made by Ye Xiang taking the time to recall the military ranks of later generations, and made some additions and subtractions, due to preconceived notions, he of course referred to the military rank system of the Celestial Empire.

Shen Yin took the table and found that the table was divided into five classes and eighteen grades, including three levels of soldiers (private, second class, and first class), three non-commissioned officers (lower, middle, and upper), three lieutenants (less, middle, and upper), four grades of colonels (less, middle, upper, and brigadier generals), and four levels of generals (less, middle, upper, and large); The establishment also adopts the system of platoon of divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and companies.

When the six official books are the second grade, and the position of the first rank is never lightly awarded, Ye Xiang imitated this system and set the highest level of the army as a general, and he was not prepared to give it lightly, and the general became the highest rank of substantive officers.

"Since the Gong Wei Division is to detect the enemy's military and political intelligence, it should be determined according to the rank of the army, and he should be designated as a captain first, and he will be re-elected. If you count the grades, the correspondence with the nine grades of civil officials is from the fifth grade. This is the rank assigned to the lower level, so you don't have to fight and do things for the side...... Isn't the Huanyi Bureau outside the palace, it's up to you to palm print. ”

Ye Xiang said and saw that Shen Yin's face was a little unnatural, and his heart was clear, and he smiled, "Now it's just for Jiannu and Tatar, and when the personnel of the Gongwei Division increase in the future, I will consider promotion." ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the slave is a small official, but that this military rank has your name in it."

"The Legend of the Ram: The First Year of the Min Dynasty" said: "The Spring and Autumn Period is a shame for the Venerable, a secret for the relatives, and a shame for the sage." "Avoidance is the rule in the imperial era, in order to show dignity and majesty, the names of the monarch and the elder should be replaced by other words when they must be said or written.

Ye Xiang didn't find out that his name was on it for a long time, and then he remembered that he was now Zhu Youxiao, but no, 'school official' is it.

"Not only here, but also the official seal of the Admiral of Dongchang is also a crime. The slave suggested that it be recast as 'the official banner of the governor of Qincha Dongchang to handle the eunuch guard', which is the foundation of the courtier's respect for the king. ”

Ye Xiang thought about it carefully, if it is changed, what school, proofreading and the like will also be changed, how awkward does this sound, in case you accidentally make a mistake, will you still be punished? Isn't it to raise a literary hell? What's the difference between that and Jiannu, he shook his head and denied, "It's better to do the same, the honorable monarch is not in these subsections, but in righteousness, as long as the people below do their best, it's okay to make mistakes." I understand your intentions, but your mind should be used more in the Gong Wei Division, and it is the right thing to find out more about the enemy. ”
