Chapter 978: Everything is ready, and the army is deployed

On November 21, the fifteenth year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor issued an order, adding the title of secretary of the military department of the auxiliary Wang Xijue, the governor of Liao, Ji, Xuan, and the four towns, supervising Liaoshi, worshiping Wang Tong as the commander of the army, and the commander-in-chief of the Huwei Army and Jiliao Xuanda and the regiment of the Xiangyong soldiers and horses, and appointing the eunuch Chen Ju as the supervisor of the army.

Led by Wenchen, the military generals led the troops to fight, and the internal officials supervised the army, this is the standard system of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Tong led the troops several times to bypass this regulation, but this time it was in accordance with the rules.

It's easy to say here that the supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor have served as outsiders many times, but the imperial horse supervisor is too familiar with Wang Tong, so he directly picks people in the eunuch, this Chen Ju and Tian Yi are quite compatible, known as "Master Fangzheng", he is the chief of the eunuchs in the hall, and he was selected to supervise the army.

It stands to reason that since it is a martial matter, it is the responsibility of the secretary of the military department, but how can a military secretary raise his head in front of Wang Tong, the secretary of the military department Bi Qiang insisted on refusing, and the rest of the cadres also flinched, saying that the civil minister was bigger than the general, but it was really outside, that Wang Tong launched a ruthless attack, what bastard thing to do, who could help him, or don't provoke this trouble.

In the end, Wang Xijue volunteered, and Wang Xijue, the second assistant of the cabinet, was a standard outlier among the ministers in the past ten years, daring to speak, daring to do anything, and being reasonable, since no one dared to go, Shen Shixing was the first assistant and could not leave Beijing, Xu Guo was too old, and Wang Xijue volunteered.

As soon as Wang Xijue came forward, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also felt that this position was really something that Wang Xijue could do, that is, his bold and outspoken temper could deal with Wang Tong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wang went to Liaozhen this time to quell the chaos and resist the enemy, not to fight for power with the Marquis of Dingbei, you should be cautious!"

Because there are too many people pondering, Wang Xijue can't care about the prime minister's bearing, and directly picks out the matter.

Wang Tong is now the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he has the position of Marquis of Dingbei, but his current title and official position are unable to command the four towns and all kinds of soldiers and horses in terms of procedures and rank.

In the past, Wenchen commanded a number of general adjutant generals, Wenchen set up a general army, and the general army commanded a number of lower-level officers, Wang Tong went to Liaozhen, at least two general soldiers, three deputy generals, and general guerrillas, not to mention, Wang Tong could not command only with the function of Jinyi Weidu commander, because this regulation, command and command are actually Wang Tong alone, and the other two are just following the procedure. On a deeper level, Wang Xijue's governorships are only really effective at extraordinary moments, and he is only nominally higher than Wang Tong on weekdays.

In this army, Wang Tong must at least have the title of governor of one of the five armies, in order to show that he is above the generals and can be regarded as justified in commanding, which is actually the same as the founding of the country and the time of Jingjing, similar to Xu Da's meaning, the opening of the mansion as the generalissimo.

However, the imperial court only mentioned the "commander-in-chief" and "commander-in-chief" in the decree, and the official position was not promoted, that is to say, Wang Tong commanded the armies as the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

The commander of Jinyi Weidu is the third grade, and has the identity of the marquis, and it is also considered a noble status in the military general class, but from the four towns of Jiliao Xuanda, above the third grade, there are six marquises, Li Chengliang's title is already the prince of the country, how to command at the same level, how to command and dispatch a higher level.

Seeing the will, Jingshi Shilin had a lot of discussions, and there were also people who gloated that the court was giving Wang Tong an ugly look, but he didn't say anything, Wang Tong was already weighted like this, and he really couldn't give the title anymore, otherwise it would be difficult to return from a big victory.

There is another case, even if the generals of the four towns of Jiliao Xuanda have a grade higher than Wang Tong, Wang Tong's military order, who of them dares not to listen, isn't that self-defeating?

And the core team of this requisition of soldiers and horses is not the border town soldiers and horses, but the Huwei Army of Tianjin Wei, who does not know that the Huwei Army trained by Wang Tong in Tianjin Wei is the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, although the battalion officer of the Huwei Army is Li Hutou now, but it is also convenient for Wang to generalize.

3,200 people were transferred from the Naturalized Urban and Rural Yong Regiment to train into two regiments according to the Huwei Military Regulations, and the Beijing Division issued an order to set off from the Naturalization City on the same day and converge in Liaozhen, and the Tianjin Weixiang Yong Regiment trained and transferred 4,800 people to the three regiments in accordance with the Huwei Military Regulations, and from now on, they will train together with the Huwei Army, reorganize the army, and select a total of 1,000 brave cavalry from the Naturalization City to be incorporated into the Huwei Army Horse Team.

The Huwei army now has a total of seven regiments of foot soldiers, totaling 11,200 men, 2,000 cavalry, 1,500 artillery teams, and 78 cannons. and a battalion of three thousand men.

There are a total of seven regiments in the Huwei Army, originally the first regiment commander Li Hutou, the regiment deputy Li Tao, the second regiment commander Tan Bing, the regiment deputy Sun Xin, and now there are five regiments of the regiment head deputy position, but the Wanli Emperor gave Wang Tong the greatest authority, and the oracle said, "And I have discussed with the battalion officer Li Hutou, and the list is reported

Wang Tong's personal guards are not the kind of practice of the Ming Dynasty, the pro-soldiers are the most elite forces in the command of the soldiers and horses, and they are the core of the battlefield, and Wang Tong's personal guards are the reserve of the officers, they learn and experience by Wang Tong's side, and the work of fighting and guarding is naturally done, but learning how to command and command is the most important thing for them.

The first regiment is still the Huwei military camp officer Li Hutou concurrently, but the regiment deputy is Tan Dahu, the second regiment is always Tan Bing, this time Tan Bing was also promoted to the position of deputy battalion officer, the second regiment deputy is Bao Erxiao, the third regiment is always Li Tao, the regiment deputy is Tan Erhu, the fourth regiment is Sun Xin, the regiment deputy is Li Xiaobiao, the fifth regiment is Chen Dahe, the regiment deputy is Liu Sanlang, the sixth regiment is Han Gang, the regiment deputy is Tan Gong, and the seventh regiment is Tan Jian, the deputy of the regiment is Qi Wu.

The Huwei Army cavalry set up a guerrilla, which was served by Ma Sanbiao, Mo Rigen, Batu, Chihei and others all became middle-level officers, and the Huwei Army Artillery set up a guerrilla, which was served by Mu En, and the deputy general of the artillery team was Qianzong, which was served by Zhang Wu, and Liu Sanlang, the deputy of the Fifth Regiment, concurrently served as the commander of the baggage battalion.

It turned out that the middle-level officers, non-commissioned officers and veterans of the first and second regiments were all promoted this time, because there were five new regiments, so in addition to the regimental deputies, there were also the second regimental deputies and the third regimental deputies.

Some people are also worried, saying that such a setting seems to be comprehensive, but in fact it dilutes the core strength of the Huwei Army, but Wang Tong has no such worries, whether it is the Naturalization City side or the Tianjin Wei side, the regimental training Xiangyong has actually been trained in accordance with the Huwei Army's discipline for many years, and it is trained with veterans as the backbone.

In fact, the arrangement of the general regiment and deputy regiment of each regiment is mainly based on people from the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion, supplemented by Wang Tong's personal guards, and the imperial court will not have any objections to such an arrangement.

The more special thing is Sha Dongning, Sha Dongning is older than Li Xiaobiao, and he also has a rare calmness and maturity at his age, but he is unwilling to come to serve in the Huwei Army, and is willing to be a personal guard by Wang Tong's side, Sha Dongning mainly takes into account Sha Dacheng's fleet, if he goes to be a general, and Wang Tong is far away, his own fleet will get a lot less shelter, it is better to get closer to the relationship all the time.

It was because of his consideration that Wang Tongcai appointed Liu Sanlang as the deputy of the regiment, otherwise Liu Sanlang would still stay in Tianjin Wei to continue to lead the escort team of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, as for Tan Gong and Tan Jian, they are in their early forties, they are in the prime of life, and the troops in Guihua City are also brought out by them, and they are more assured to be familiar with things.

As for the personal guards, Sha Dongning became Wang Tong's personal commander, Wu Er and Shi Qi both became deputy commanders, and a group of outstanding teenagers were selected to fill in the naturalization and Tianjin Wei.

The Huwei army has expanded to this scale, Li Hutou has been added to the rank of general, Tan Bing is the deputy general, and the rest of the regiments have the title of general, and the supervisor Cai Nan is still the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but in fact, he is already a eunuch who guards the town, and his status in the Imperial Horse Supervisor has also risen.

In addition, Ma Yong, the general of Datong Town, led 2,000 cavalry, Li Sanshi, a guerrilla of Xuanfu, led 1,500 cavalry, and Yang Jin, the deputy general of Jizhen Town, led 10,000 foot soldiers in Jizhen.

The border towns were either peaceful or defeated, and it was rare for the cabinet and the household department to draw out the military funds allocated to various places and invest them in the army this time, and a large amount of silver was invested in the Sanjiang Workshop and the Naturalization City for the cost of promotion, military salaries, and equipment.

Busy, the time has also entered December, the situation in Liaozhen has deteriorated a little, but it has not collapsed, seeing the large amount of property looted by the Jianzhou Jurchens from Liaozhen, the Jurchens and other tribes of Mengu who have been watching are also tempted and began to enter Liaozhen one after another.

With the increase in the strength of the Jurchen and Meng ancient sides, the situation of the Ming army in the eastern part of Liaozhen became more and more embarrassing, but the soldiers and horses transferred from western Liaoning gradually rose to the top, and the southern Liaoning side also began to mobilize.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the fifteenth year of Wanli, a ceremony was held in the suburbs of Beijing, for the army to march, Wang Xijue, Wang Tong, Chen Ju and a military general were all present, except for the two regiments of the naturalized city just out of Shanxi and into Xuanfu, the rest of the armies have been prepared, and the army was dispatched!

Wang Tong smiled bitterly at his wife and concubine before leaving:

"I can't spend the New Year at home again this year." ――
