Chapter 70 Jinan
On the chessboard street of the Beijing Division, Liang Tingdong sat leisurely in the second hall of the military department, slowly sipping a cup of tea, and a chief clerk hurriedly ran in, handed over a Tang newspaper and said in a low voice: "My lord, Shen Qi of Xuanfu actually signed a peace treaty with the slave chieftain without authorization, including Dong Jishu, the eunuch of the prison army and the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and ...... He also ran to make an oath to the slave chieftain. ”
Liang Tingdong exhaled and sat up straight, "How many cities have been broken?" ”
"None of them are broken."
Liang Tingdong leaned back in his chair relaxedly, "It's good that the city is not broken, what did Shen Qi say himself?" ”
"Shen Qi said to himself that the chief of the slave did not commit any crimes, and the cost was not more than the old amount of the Chahar Department, and it was not much, saying that it was just to withdraw from the army, and the oath was not damaged in the imperial court."
Liang Tingdong frowned slightly, and hummed without changing his face, the principal was stunned, and asked with some surprise: "My lord, aren't you worried about the impeachment of Yushi?" ”
"Impeachment? The Ministry of Impeachment in the past three years can pile up a room, if you are still worried about this, how can you live. ”
The chief hurriedly said: "But my lord, this matter is a terrifying thing in my dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan only negotiated peace before, but Shen Qi took the lead in the peace treaty, and the text called the Ministry of Construction as the Jin State, which is a humiliating act, and the emperor will be angry." ”
Liang Tingdong squinted, his two feet lightly stepped on the ground, and in August, he reported that the Ministry of Construction appeared near the original Tumert, as if he was attacking Chahar, and he sent an order to strictly guard against the nine sides, Shen Qi was so precautionary, as for him that the slave chieftain Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the children did not believe it, it was not the emperor Taiji who broke the border and came in to burn incense, and the silver given to the slave chief would never be only the old reward of Chahar, and Shen Qi was also looking for the rich family of Datong and Yanghe. You can also make some money from it.
"Hmph." Liang Tingdong smiled lightly.
The principal looked at him strangely, Liang Tingdong didn't explain much to him, the good news of Fuzhou had arrived, he personally went to report to the cabinet and the palace, Lu Zhi's internal report also arrived at the celebrant supervisor, the two towns beheaded thousands of Jiannu, second only to the battle of the four cities, Denglai reported that there were nearly 1,000 Jiannu who died in the city, with more than 1,000 heads, it was completely reasonable. Since the fall of Liaoshen. This is unique, the emperor personally summoned him to ask about the situation, and even recruited the Tang Ma who sent the letter into the palace to inquire about the war situation in detail. At least this year is a solid one. Dengzhou Town also lost more than 2,000 people, but this loss does not look at his eyes, what is the death of a few soldiers.
As far as Xuanfu is concerned, Shen Qi is Zhou Yanru's person, and Liang Tingdong has now taken refuge in Wen Tiren. Now that the city has not been broken, there is no big problem as the secretary of the military department, and what we have to do now is to express our stance on Shen Qi's matter.
Liang Tingdong said lightly: "This Tang newspaper was forwarded to Liu Shilang and asked him to draft a ministerial proposal first." ”
The director nodded understandingly, that Liu Shilang is Liu Yulie, and he is also Zhou Yanru's person. Last year, there was an oolong of the governor of Liaodong. He went to Shanhaiguan for a few days and came back. Originally, in history, Liu Yulie should have gone to the prime minister of Shandong to quell the rebellion, but now that Chen Xinsan has extinguished it twice, he will continue to stay in Beijing as his military squire.
Liang Tingdong asked Liu Yulie to prepare a ministerial proposal, just to let him stand on Zhou Yanru's faction to protect Shen Qi. Then Liang Tingdong went to the cabinet again, and after making things bigger, he naturally had some wild dog-like imperial history to clean up Liu Yulie, and by the way, he implicated Zhou Yanru again, although the matter looked like Zhou Yanru was small. However, Liang Tingdong is well versed in the way of struggle, and political victories are accumulated one after another small victories, and he must not let go of any opportunity.
After experiencing the spirit, the chief said in a low voice: "My lord, the lower official thinks that he can send his subordinates to the Xuanfu to verify the facts, Shen Qi reported that Jian Nuqiu did not commit any crimes, and the lower officials will never believe it, and when the cabinet lord comes back, let's take out this verified thing......"
"Okay, that's it."
Liang Tingdong nodded slightly in approval, this dogleg is still good, and he can refine the meaning of the leader after comprehending it.
If Zhou Yanru is overthrown, Liang Tingdong will be able to enter the cabinet, this is what Wen Tiren promised, of course, Denglai plays well, and as long as there is no big leak in other places, it can be smoothed out.
"What else?"
"Changping's deputy general Zuo Liangyu, please send the arsenal to train people."
"Zuo Liangyu, has he made Bing Jing this year?"
The principal smiled shyly, "My lord, you are a noble person, Zuo Liangyu is handed, and it is more than other towns, of course, it is not as good as Chen Zongbing." ”
Liang Tingdong smiled, "General Chen can send a head, but if he doesn't send Bingjing, the headquarters will also give it to him." What kind of ability does Zuo Liangyu have, he is faster than Wu Xiang in Changshan, if he is not a guest army, he can't escape from the army, and he has to be Hou Xun to help him dredge, so that he can stay in office, wait a little longer, and let him hand over Tan Jing. ”
"Xia Guan understood. In addition, Shanxi reported that the thieves had more than 30 shares before and after, and they were transferred to the western part of Jinxi, which seemed to have the intention of going to Shunde. ”
"What?" Liang Tingdong stood up with a snort, even the chair fell to the ground, he walked over and slapped the principal, "Bastard, don't say such an important thing first." ”
The main thing touched his face and avoided two steps, and looked at Liang Tingdong with some puzzlement, only to see Liang Tingdong walking around anxiously, still saying in his mouth, "We must not let them come to Jinan, send weapons to Zuo Liangyu, and let the Baoding Zheng Barracks and Zhending Standard Battalion strictly patrol the Shanxi pass, which will be sent out tomorrow." ”
The chief hurriedly went to the proposed order, Liang Tingdong walked two more laps, and his good mood suddenly disappeared, no matter how the thieves made trouble in Shanxi and Shaanxi, now the emperor seems to have accepted the news that these rogues are flowing around, and the news from other places can always be embellished, and they are all artistically processed in front of the emperor, so as not to make the emperor angry.
But entering the Gyeonggi area is completely different, once you get to Jindingfu, and Suncheonfu
Only separated by a Baoding, that feeling is intuitive, and then it will be a big thing.
Liang Tingdong returned to the table and turned out the nine-sided map, the border troops that could be transferred were all mobilized, those tribes such as taokou and Tumut could not be unguarded, the Henan soldiers had been in the interior for a long time, and their combat power might be at the same level as the squad army, and the combat power of the Shandong standard battalion was exposed in front of the Liao soldiers, and it was also unbearable, and his eyes turned to Denglai.
"Only here. It was this Chen Xingang who sent filial piety, and he suffered heavy losses in Fuzhou, and it seems inappropriate to transfer him to suppress Kou at this time, and it is not easy to say it from Mr. Wen. Liang Tingdong shook his head slightly, "How can only Dengzhou send strong troops, I don't know how this Chen Xin trained, Fuzhou suffered two thousand casualties, does he still have soldiers?" ”……
"This time the Dragoon Thousand Headquarters suffered the greatest losses, and most of the casualties were in the Second Division. Wendeng No. 3 and No. 4 Tunpu suffered heavy losses, and many people's pillars were gone, and the casualties were concentrated in these two tunpus, which caused great damage to the morale of the two tunpus. The older children in the two schools dropped out of school and went home to work, and the same situation was once on the island of Shimi, that time it was Weihai No. 1 Tunbao, and it was difficult to recover its vitality, and this conscription system was built to make some changes. ”
In the civil affairs station outside the west gate of Pingdu Prefecture, Chen Xin listened to Mo Huaiwen's report while smoking, Mo Huaiwen was in charge of the affairs of Tunpu and worked in Pingdu nearby, Chen Xin and Liu Min inspected Pingdu this time. A meeting was organized on an ad hoc basis. It's about the structure of the troops.
In the two battles of Shenmi Island and Fuzhou, the losses of the peasants and soldiers were relatively large, and the most headache was concentrated in a few tunpu, among which the Weihai No. 1 tunpu was severely injured in Shenmi Island, which gave the group a very bad demonstration effect.
Sure enough, Mo Huaiwen continued: "The people in these forts are very worried about their relatives in Jinzhou. According to the feedback from the tun chief, there was a long queue of letters written in the comprehensive store, all of which were words to save their lives, and the scrivener did not write them. ”
Chen Xin nodded lightly. When he first designed the peasant company system, it was a high-intensity mobilization, and he imitated the Swiss model at this time, the Swiss mercenaries were all from the mountain people, with villages and communities as the link to form a phalanx, usually training together, and having a high degree of cohesion when going to war, which was impossible to imitate in Europe at that time.
This unique structure of troops made the Swiss phalanx skillful and cohesive, giving the spear phalanx an offensive capability, and countries used this as a template to improve, resulting in a more powerful Spanish and Dutch system, including the later Gustav phalanx, from which the Swiss phalanx was born, and it can be said that the Swiss phalanx made the infantry revival in Europe.
The structure of the Houjin is also similar to this, their military-civilian Niulu basically lives in villages, and this kind of collective connected by the community has a certain cohesion. Although the Ming army system seems to be professional soldiers, the strict defects of the system and the overall decay of the Ming Dynasty make them inferior to this kind of community army.
At present, there are more than 350,000 people in the Tunpu system of Dengzhou Town, and various trading companies are still spreading news in various places, and there will be displaced people coming later. Therefore, Chen Xin's tunbao structure, young and strong account for the majority, he is now not short of soldiers, Dengzhou Town's professional army system can allow soldiers to get along for a long time, train together, its cohesion will not be lower than the community way, can indeed be adjusted some of this system.
Chen Xin asked Li Donghua of the Military Affairs Department: "Similar to those thousand headquarters?" ”
"They are all a group of peasant companies formed at the beginning, with the fourth battalion being the strictest, and several other battalions have been reorganized after the reorganization, and there will not be too many people from the same tunpu in the same battalion."
"The fourth battalion has a thousand headquarters to carry out an adjustment, especially the dragoon thousand headquarters, they have been reorganized from the first general of the peasant army, and they are in the front line of Jinzhou, so it is not appropriate to wear and tear excessively, some old veterans with families can be discharged, and a group of reserve soldiers who are drawn and transferred should be selected, and the best ones in each fort should be selected, and there is that non-commissioned officers should not be discharged, and officers with families can retire a few and serve as dragoon instructors in the martial arts cavalry section."
Li Donghua and Zhu Daichun both recorded at the same time that this matter involved the two divisions of military affairs and mobilization, and the leaders moved their mouths and broke their legs below, and they had just basically completed the major reorganization, and the 3,000 headquarters had not yet been replenished, and a new task was coming. This workload is still quite small, generally the tunpu first reports the family situation, then checks the military books one by one, and finally has to check and check, and the various documents of the fourth battalion have to be repeated.
After the veterans retired, they had to send new recruits to make up for them, and it involved the transportation to Lushun, the whole training plan after supplementing the various departments, etc., Li Donghua had a headache when he thought about it, and he said to Chen Xin: "My lord, soon the Liaohai Sea may freeze, if it is according to the general replenishment plan, it will be difficult for this batch of replenished soldiers to arrive in Lushun in advance......
"Then send a thousand reservists to Lushun first, replenish them while retiring from the army, and skip the step of verification in Tunpu, and then spot check after the replenishment." Chen Xin has always been this style, Liu Minyou said that he is simplistic in management, but this method has saved Chen Xin a lot of effort.
Chen Xin originally wanted to make an adjustment to the soldiers, because some old soldiers and peasant soldiers in the past got married and had children one after another, and once they died in battle, there was a lot of pressure on the civil administration's bereavement pension, and the soldiers should be unmarried. From Chen Xin's utilitarian point of view, it is also the most economical, just like the conscription in later generations, the largest number of compulsory soldiers are young bachelors, and the burden and concern of the family are relatively small.
"Alright, that's it." Chen Xin stood up, "Where did Lord Liu inspect?" ”
Mo Huaiwen hurriedly opened his booklet, looked at it for a while, looked up and said: "Lord Liu went to inspect the school today, first went to Pingdu Vocational School, where there are more than 30 students from Laotunpu, saying that they were admitted to the university hall in Wendeng, and Mr. Liu went to see him off. ”
"Well, let's go check it out."
ps: I've been working overtime recently, the update is not effective, and I'm still asking for a monthly pass, and I'm empty in the back.
