137 Unified Nanjing

In addition to the reorganization of the court, the most important military power, Wang Lanping, must be firmly grasped in his hands.

The military and political department consists of two divisions on the left and right, the left division of the military and politics commands the troops, the highest officer is the commander and the general of the dragon and tiger (is the second product), the right division holds the transfer order, and the highest officer is the Lang Zhongling (the second product), in other words, the left division is all military generals, with the right to command the army without the right to transfer troops, the right division is a civilian official, that is, with the army staff officer (counselor military aircraft), with the right to transfer troops, without the right to command the army, if there is no war, with the military counselor back to the prime minister's office to standby, the soldiers return to the general.

If there is a war, Wang Lanping will distribute tiger talismans to the two respectively, and the army can only be mobilized after the two are combined.

The 12,000 people of the champion army were changed to Yulinwei, and they were divided into two guards, Wang Lanping Xiangfu was stationed in the Forbidden City, Song Xian was the commander of the left battalion, awarded the dragon and tiger general, and Song Dali was the commander of the right battalion, and was awarded the dragon and tiger general.

In addition, the 150,000-strong army of Xiangshan has also been reorganized in a unified manner, and the old, weak, and disabled have been abolished, and there are still nearly 120,000 people.

The 90,000 men were organized into six battalions, which were:

Dingyuan battalion, commanding Cao Dingjiao.

Huaiyuan battalion, commanding the envoy Fang Guoan.

An Yuan Battalion, commanding Chen Wanliang.

Zhenyuan battalion, commanding Zhang Bingzhen.

Weiyuan battalion, commanding Wang Zhiren.

Pingyuan battalion, commanding Yang Wencong.

Together with Song Xian's Yu Linwei, there were a total of seven battalions, with a total of 85,000 soldiers and horses.

The establishment of the army is as follows: ten people, one chief, three short-bladed shield soldiers, two crossbow soldiers, two three-eyed guns, one pikemen, and two broadsword soldiers, including the chief of the staff, a total of 11 people, and the nine rank of food.

Sanshi is a team, with a captain and eight ranks, a total of 33 people;

The three teams are the school, with one centurion. Shizheng seven ranks, a total of 100 people;

The three schools are the standard, with a total of one person and six ranks, with a total of 301 people;

The three standards are guards, and there are thousands of total people. Shizheng four ranks, a total of 904 people;

Sanwei is a town, with one general and general Xuanwei, a total of 2,713 people;

The three towns are battalions, with one commander and one general, and the dragon and tiger generals are awarded.

Each battalion was equipped with 500 short-bladed shieldmen, 500 light cavalry, and 500 longbowmen. There are 300 musketeers (all arquebuses), 20 medical officers, 200 sentry cavalry, 2,000 logistics and engineers, 4,020 troops directly under the battalion commander, 20 field generals' cannons, and 200 artillerymen.

The battalion was at full strength, with a total of 12,359 people. All battalion commanders and envoys are attached to the military and political left division under the Prime Minister's Office.

Zheng Sen also awarded the Dragon and Tiger General, but no longer commanded the army. He served as the commander of the military and political left department of the Prime Minister's Office, handling the coordination of various battalions.

The remaining 30,000 people were assigned to the Nanjing garrison camp, and the garrison yamen was divided into ten places in the capital, each with a staff general to command the troops, and each other had no right to belong, and each place had 3,000 soldiers. Contain each other, the military power belongs to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Gongwei Beijing Division.

The Xiangshan camp is held once a month, and each time two battalions go to practice, and the rest rest in the city.

The battalions also re-regulated the style and color of the flag. The style of the military flag is a bit like a wine banner hanging at the door of a street restaurant, but horizontally, like a 'mountain' character that falls to the right. ’

The Dingyuan camp is inlaid with red edges for the blue flag, with yellow belts, and red spikes are hung on the tip of the flag spear.

Anyuan camp is inlaid with blue edges for red flags, floating yellow belts, and hanging red spikes.

Huaiyuan camp is a black flag with white edges, floating yellow belts, and hanging red spikes.

Zhenyuan camp is a blue flag with black edges, floating yellow belts, and hanging red spikes.

The Weiyuan battalion is a white flag with black edges, a yellow belt, and a red tassel.

The Pingyuan camp is a white flag with blue edges, yellow belts, and red tassels.

Yu Linwei was supposed to be the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven, so the military flag was pure yellow, with a yellow belt and yellow ears

The clear purpose of the banner is to allow the soldiers not to run away on the battlefield and find their own team in time, which can be regarded as the most simple and intuitive military signal.

The middle of the flag is embroidered with the positions and surnames of generals at all levels.

The ribbon floating at the tail of the flag indicates the commander level and number of the soldiers and horses, five battalion flags, four town flags, three guard flags, and no flags below, and communication basically depends on shouting.

(The above flags are based on Qi Jiguang's new book, the Ming Army's training record, slightly adapted, the real Ming Army flag, dozens of kinds, a bunch of color matching)

When the seven battalions of troops gathered together, it was really a spectacular, and it was really a banner all over the sky, and the soldiers were majestic.

The military department of the imperial court also retained some powers, that is, some logistical matters such as conscription, pension for the families of soldiers, and the allocation of food and salary.

After this mutiny, a total of 47 ministers at all levels were confiscated, and more than 10 million taels of stolen silver were found, which greatly enriched the state treasury.

The officials who are still in office in Beijing also opened a double salary a year ago, and the whole dynasty is really able to live a fat year in harmony.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Lanping's personal guards of 200 people were on duty in shifts day and night, and they were guarding at the side with sharp knives at all times.

The people of the whole city are also cheering, as soon as Xiangye took power, he cut off the heads of so many corrupt officials in just forty days, and there were so many disasters missing, who did not celebrate.

At this time, in the city of Nanjing, it seems that this year's Spring Festival is the happiest year, as soon as it enters the wax moon, the streets are already covered with red and green, and the streets are full of customers coming and going, and it is very lively.

Wang Lanping was really tired enough after doing all this, although he was following his train of thought, but he understood that this was only temporary, what were the thoughts of those local governors and governors in foreign places, and what did those residual princes and nobles think, the bigger storm was still to come, this was just the beginning.

But in any case, everything is developing in a good direction, which is enough to make Wang Lanping happy, but in nine months, he sat from a small Jingnan general to the position of prime minister.

Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the court has a five-day holiday, and the emperor will convene the ministers to start the first court meeting of the new year on the fourth day of the new year. He didn't know the bottom of his own heart.

The Prime Minister's Mansion will also have a holiday from today, and most of the officials will go home for reunions, and Wang Lanping is no exception.

The Dingnan Hou Mansion was just replaced by the Dingguo Mansion two months ago, and it didn't take a day. The paint on the plaque has not dried and has been changed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the courtyard is still the same courtyard, but it is more majestic and popular, with more than 100 people up and down.

Maybe God didn't want a hard-working woman like Fang Ling to die early, but after she was in a coma with a high fever for more than ten days, he dragged her back from the ghost gate. The emaciated face is also becoming rounder day by day.

can also walk a few steps with the support of the palace maid, sometimes Wang Lanping comes back from the yamen, and will accompany her to sit in the back garden and chat, you and me, if it weren't for the fact that she was still injured, I was afraid that Wang Lanping would have gone crazy on her more than once.

The Fang brothers are homeless, and they are afraid that this year's Spring Festival will be spent in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The rest of the commanders also took their families to Nanjing early and bought a house. The family welcomed the arrival of the New Year in harmony.

I am afraid that there are only two people in the whole city of Nanjing who are unhappy, one is the emperor Zhu Yousong, who has become the first prisoner of the veritable Son of Heaven, and he can't leave the Forbidden City for half a step. The other is Zheng Sen, the former chief military officer of Huai'an. The military power is gone, and he has become a metropolitan governor who is neither civil nor military, and it sounds like he is ranked as the third duke, but he actually has no power.

This is also what Wang Lanping is worried about, judging from all indications. Zheng Sen has a deep affection for the Ming Dynasty, and his father Zheng Zhilong is also the chief military officer of Fujian Navy, with 200,000 troops in his hands, he can't afford not to guard against it.

Zheng Sen, who has nowhere to go, is on duty in the Prime Minister's Office and will not return to Fujian this year.

Firecrackers on the street, the same outside the city, today is also the day of the Han people's traditional ancestor sacrifice, the head of the family leads the son and the unmarried daughter (the daughter-in-law can not come), carrying the sacrifices, one by one to the ancestors to the grave, meaning: the New Year is coming, the ancestors go home together for the New Year.

The spring breeze was in a hurry, Wang Lanping rode back to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to the method and the ten guards: "It's none of your business, it's almost the New Year, the street is lively, go out and have fun."

The way to leave, Xiang Ye is in a high position, and he has offended so many people in a short period of time, he can only repay Xiang Ye's affection for the other party's brothers and sisters by not leaving an inch.

But now it's in the house, and there are sentinels everywhere in the house, and ordinary people don't dare to come in, so they just stand guard at the door and watch the room.

Wang Lanping changed into a slightly tighter robe, dark red, the strong body made the robe look like it was attached to him, and the dragon-shaped embroidery on the clothing also showed more teeth and claws, the style was extraordinary, the waist was tied with a jade belt, the head was wearing a silver silk winged crown, and a wisp of yellow spikes hung down from each ear, which was the standard configuration of Dingguo Gong, very majestic, but he had been sleeping outside the wind for most of the year, and the skin on his face was not as white as before, but in this way Wang Lanping prefers it, men, black spots are like a man.

In the mansion, Wang Lanping was not as serious as in the Prime Minister's Office, changed his clothes and went downstairs, and then transferred to the courtyard of the female dependents in the backyard.

As soon as he walked to the door of the moon, he heard a melodious and melodious dulcimer sound from inside, accompanied by Fang Ling's sweet tune.

Wang Lanping was outside the Moon Gate, listening carefully, I didn't understand, but it was very beautiful, it should be a play in her hometown, I heard that Henan's Siping tune is quite famous, probably this is it.

In the courtyard, next to the round table of stone carving, an incense burner, the smoke is rising, there is a four-legged table of red sandalwood on the side, a dulcimer on it, with the vibrating of the strings, the beautiful music flutters with the wind, with Fang Ling's singing words, this situation and this scene, it is really a kind of enjoyment.

Especially Fang Ling's graceful back, a green silk poured like water......

However, with the sound of the piano, the tune seemed to become a little bleak, and Fang Ling's voice was also slightly sad, although Wang Lanping couldn't understand it, he even guessed that he was probably homesick.

Yes, the New Year is about to close, and people who are wandering away, who don't want to go home, especially when singing a minor tune full of hometown flavor, it is even more difficult to control their feelings.

Wang Lanping didn't want to see her like this, so he crept over like a thief.

"Xiangye!" The two maids were sharp-eyed and hurriedly squatted down to salute.

"Stains, spoils, go, go down" Wang Lanping wanted to tease Fang Ling from behind, but he didn't expect to mess up the situation for these two little girls who had no eyesight, and he was so sorry that he grinned.

As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, Fang Ling also turned her head, and before she could speak, Wang Lanping walked over quickly, hugged her hips, Fang Ling was very light, as light as a chicken in Wang Lanping's hands.

Fang Ling's face was red, and he slapped his shoulder with a small fist, his eyes were running around, "Xiangye, Xiangye, let me down, there are still people, it hurts, it hurts, the wound will be cracked open by you after a while."

Wang Lanping then remembered that her injury was not yet healed, so he hurriedly let her down gently, but still tightly pressed her mellow fullness to himself.

"Huh!" The two girls who hadn't gone far covered their mouths and ran out of the moon gate with a smile.

Fang Ling lowered his head and blushed, and whispered softly, "Why did Xiangye come back so early today?" ”

Wang Lanping only looked at her delicate facial features, rubbing her nose and rubbing her moist lips for a while, as if she could still feel her 'touch' heartbeat.

"It's the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month today, no matter how busy you are, you have to celebrate the New Year, the emperor has to give me a few days off, I didn't sell it to his Zhu family" Wang Lanping said with a hippie smile, trying to make her forget the sad and sad scene just now.

Fang Ling's eyes flashed a hint of strangeness, with a little cowardice, and whispered, "Xiangye seems to be talking more and more ......" She didn't dare to say, these days she listened to the maids talking, saying that Xiangye is now in power, and even the emperor is not in his eyes, which makes her feel a little scared, she has been adrift for so long, thanks to God's mercy, let her enter this mansion, it can be regarded as a stable place to live, no longer have to sleep on the street like a flower child, she is afraid that all this will come too quickly, is it going to slip away in a blink of an eye, and the general will be the prince of the country in a while, After a while, I heard that there were still many soldiers, which made her very afraid, isn't the emperor the most powerful person in the world? Will Xiangye annoy the emperor, then everything will be a thing of the past.

Wang Lanping sat down on the stone bench and put Fang Ling on his lap, "What?" It's okay, the emperor is in the palace, and his ears are not so long, so you and me, you say, lonely men and widows, in this garden, oh yes, there are no flowers, there are only dead leaves, yes, dry wood and fire, just a little bit"

"Xiangye! ......" Fang Ling's voice dragged on for a long time, coquettish, and seemed to have a hint of coquettishness.

"Don't move, see if you are still moving, it makes my eyes dazzled" Wang Lanping pressed Fang Ling his lap, and the waves were rolling through the clothes in front of him, which was dazzling.

Fang Ling looked at it, and hurriedly crossed his hands on his chest, his eyes were as charming as a pool of spring water slowly wrinkled, clear and charming.

Wang Lanping also settled down, and said secretly: I strangled it, and if you look at me with the eyes of this cute dead man, I would have sinned, if it weren't for the injuries on your body, hehe, I don't know if the word "sheets" is popular or not these years. (To be continued.) )
