Chapter 416: The Imperial Horse Supervisor Tiger Camp
readx;
The Imperial Horse Supervisor sent someone to the Ministry of War to inquire about the ownership of the Huwei Army, and since Guo Pingguang returned from the Tianjin Health Investigation Office, the matter has dragged on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is a secret in the officialdom, called the word "drag", to find out the conclusion that is greatly beneficial to Wang Tong, but it is absolutely impossible to let the military department under the direct management of the university scholar Zhang Siwei include the Huwei Army in the establishment, everyone thinks that there is no such thing, and they ignore it at all.
Anyway, as a local soldier, Tianjin Wei had no way to urge Shangfeng Ya's lungs, so he could only drag it out like this.
Wang Tong urged him a few times and understood what the attitude of the military department was, and he didn't bother to continue to care, it had been so unclear for a few years, and he was not afraid of a few more days.
The military department thought that the matter had passed, but they didn't expect the palace palace to send someone to ask, the official in charge was very surprised, and had to inquire about one or two, and when they found out that it was the eunuch Lin Shulu and the admiral eunuch Chu Zhaoren who were in the palace, they were stunned.
Lin Shulu is a cold-faced character, but the admiral eunuch Chu Zhaoren had such a big contradiction with Wang Tong in Tianjin Wei, and Julu still did such a good thing for Wang Tong, is his head broken.
However, the military system and military department on the side of the Imperial Horse Supervisor couldn't intervene at all, and they were able to pinch their noses and say the actual situation, and the news spread like this.
"At the beginning, because of the long live lord laughed, Wang Qianhu trained the Huwei army in Tianjin Wei, although it is not compliant, but after all, it is also for the long live lord, and it has added a little more strength to the Ming Dynasty, not into the establishment, and the Tianjin Wei side is alone, so that the people of the world can see it, but it will say that the court is unfair, the slave and Chu Zhaoren discussed, and asked the palm print, everyone thinks that since the Huwei army was temporarily hung under the jurisdiction of the imperial horse supervisor, it is better to officially include it today, and the queen mother is specially invited to judge it."
Empress Dowager Li sat on the chair, Lin Shulu and Chu Zhaoren knelt respectfully in front, Empress Dowager Li looked at Zhang Whale standing on the side, Zhang Whale just lowered his hand and bowed his head, this attitude signaled that he already knew it.
In the palace, you can't look at the superficial phenomenon in a word or action, Empress Dowager Li naturally understands this truth, she groaned, and said slowly:
"Your thoughts and mourners also understand it, Wang Tong worked hard to make money for the palace in Tianjin Wei, and he still bears such a big infamy, Chu Zhaoren, what are you encountering over there is also a trivial matter, why, you still want to bring other people's soldiers and horses, you are so old, can you be compared to a teenager?"
After the eunuch Chu Zhaoren heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed three times, raised his head and said eagerly:
"The Queen Mother, the slave maid never dared to have this thought, the slave maid's subordinate several battalion heads this year's winter clothes were purchased with gold and silver sent by Tianjin Wei, the slave maid felt that Wang Qianhu was good, so he remembered this, and Wang Qianhu was in Tianjin Wei affairs complicated, and there were many concerns, and there was also a need for such a soldier and horse stationed there, and when the time came, I would ask the Long Live Lord to issue an order to let the Huwei Army guard Tianjin.
The affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor need to be decided by the Empress Dowager Li, but the big move still needs to be ordered by the Wanli Emperor to be implemented, which is also the rule of the palace, once a will is issued, then everything is in the clear, even if you want to do something, it is impossible. Since she said this, Empress Dowager Li nodded, a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "Everything is out of public intentions, and it is good to do errands like this." ā
The matter of the Huwei army entering the imperial horse supervision was thus decided, and after the Wanli Emperor dispersed in the afternoon, he received the news from Cining Palace. Hearing that it was Chu Zhaoren's side who proposed that the Huwei Army be included in the Imperial Horse Prison, Emperor Wanli's first reaction was:
"I don't believe that this Chu Zhaoren will have any good intentions, do you want to transfer the Huwei Army from Tianjin Wei ā and then swallow one by one by one"
Zhang Cheng knew more news here, and opened his mouth to tell Ci Ningdong's question and answer, looking at Emperor Wanli who was still full of doubts, he opened his mouth to persuade him:
"Long live the lord, the slave maid thinks that if the people and horses under Wang Tong are always so nameless and unshared, and then they encounter any turmoil, when it comes to the rules and regulations, they will be abolished, and now there is such an opportunity, let them be under the jurisdiction of the imperial horse supervisor, and there will be a famous establishment, this is a lot, although I don't know what Chu Zhaoren thinks, but as long as the establishment is determined, even if there is any plan in the future, the imperial horse supervisor and Zhang Whale will watch, besides, they are all in the palace, long live the lord You can also make a move." "What you said makes sense, I have made an order, but I want to add an article to it, the Huwei military camp officer is Wang Tong, and he must be stationed in Tianjinwei." Emperor Wanli added, Zhang Cheng bowed down and said: "Long live the words of the lord, the slave must be written in the will." ā
At the beginning of November, the news that the Huwei Army was going to become the Huwei Battalion under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and that it was stationed in Tianjin began to spread in the Beijing Division, and those who really knew the inside story knew that the news was about to become a reality. Everyone also has an indifferent attitude towards this, because in the past, the news that the Huwei Army was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Prison was circulated, and there were worries that the military power of the inner court was too heavy, and it would affect the balance between the inside and outside, but this could not be said, and the ministers in the palace were not too concerned about their personal interests, so it was best to interfere less and talk less.
Zhang Siwei, a cabinet scholar and secretary of the military department, is said to have lost his temper in his own house, and discussed with the Qingke staff how to stop this matter, but Zhang Juzheng, the cabinet assistant, had no objection to this, and he didn't even mention it at the court meeting, so everyone didn't see Zhang Siwei opposing this matter in any public setting.
I don't know what the palace thinks, but there is a guess that Wang Tong went to the palace so often to send money to the palace, and finally moved up and down.
Chu Zhaoren, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was originally laughed at because of the Tianjin Wei incident, but after this incident, it can be regarded as repaying his grievances with virtue, and the evaluation of him inside and outside the palace gradually increased.
thinks that this person can handle errands impartially, regardless of previous suspicions, and also live up to the promotion and value of the Empress Dowager Cisheng and Long Live Lord, and Chu Zhaoren also proposed in November that the battalions of the Imperial Horse Supervisor have been slacking off for a long time, and they can't cope with anything if they practice without fighting, so they should take advantage of the autumn and winter season to train with war.
If the bigwigs inside and outside the Jingshi still had any doubts before, they were all gone now, and they all thought that this Chu Zhaoren was indeed going to work hard.
Seeing such a drill of the forbidden army in the inner court, if he has nothing to say, I am afraid that it will be regarded as incompetent or useless, and he has to urge the armies to train hard, and also talk about slogans such as training with war and living up to the grace of God.
Such a back and forth, inside and outside the Beijing Division, the forbidden army, the Beijing camp of all walks of life soldiers and horses are all hard training, the royal family, hundreds of officials, and the common people in the Beijing Division see the soldiers, are all rich and idle, it is rare to see such a diligent appearance, for a time it is praised, the palace is said to be Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli have praised Chu Zhaoren.
The matter of the Huwei army becoming the head of the battalion under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is nothing more than a few words set the tone in Beijing, but when it comes to Tianjin Wei, there will be lightning and thunder.
After receiving the news, Yu Jiyong, the Tianjin guard, was busy discussing with Wang Tong, the camp where the battalion was stationed, and the supply of grain and equipment had to be determined.
Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jizhen, sent someone to send a letter to Sun Zhibin, and Sun Zhibin, the general of the Tianjin Staff, also came to the door to visit, and now Wang Tong also has the responsibility of defending the territory, and the two sides each led troops and horses to be stationed in Tianjin, and they must negotiate a scope of defense to assist in defense, so as not to be unclear when they get it.
These things similar to processes and rules are the most headaches, Wang Tong is as patient as they are, things are good because everything has already been shelved, and it is nothing more than an official article.
From generals to soldiers, from barracks to supplies, everything is already complete, which is a little less worry.
But now Wang Tong is not concerned about this, but about what the Portuguese who have been recruited in the bromen can do, and the dozens of craftsmen who were called out for the second time have been busy in the workshop.
The technology of the Westerners is indeed better, and the artillery used by the Tianjin Wei has been cast on the second day after they were first transferred, but this kind of artillery is not the "field artillery" that was required at the beginning, and it is very troublesome to move and carry.
But if you want to build facilities such as gun carriages and gun carriages, there are not enough tools in the firearms workshop at present, and if you can make something useful, you will have a reward of silver, and after casting this kind of artillery in Tianjinwei, each person has already received five taels of silver, which is too far from the two small boxes of silver ingots they saw in the quarantine area.
If you can make better things, you will get more rewards, and the nobles and artisan leaders of Shao have made it clear that these people are all busy with all their strength.
Wang Tong and Ren Yuan, the people in charge of the Fire Organ Workshop, Ren Yuan was originally a civil official who liked engineering technology, so many Portuguese craftsmen who knew different things came over, which really made him very happy, some conjectures and ponders in his mind before, and now he finally found an opportunity to verify it.
Wang Tong only came to see a few times occasionally, but Ren Yuan didn't even return home, and pounced here every day. While busy, iron furnaces, clay, straw, wood, boring cutters, drilling rigs, a large number of materials to be collected, many tools to be made again.
According to the return of the wish, it is not difficult to build the cannon itself, but the time-consuming thing is to make all kinds of tools at hand, when Chen Li's soldiers went to search, they only took away some of the household goods they had brought with them, and many large devices were thought to be useless decorations and were thrown on the side of the bromine gate. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and Wang Tong understands this truth, so a large amount of silver is allocated.
But there were still hundreds of people idle in the camp, and finally someone couldn't help it, and the captain of the armed merchant ship asked to see Wang Tong...... sļ¼
