"I didn't expect the old man to capsize in the gutter, I really underestimated this Hubei guy."

Zhou Yanru sat in the study and sighed for a long time, on the desk, a chess endgame, a head cannon, and a sinking bottom cannon, which had already made the sunspot's side embarrassed.

As long as the red knight takes one more step forward, the black pawn has nowhere to go. He looked at the chessboard carefully, and Black's discs were still undamaged, and the rooks, horses, artillery, and elephants were all there, but every piece was suppressed.

This chess game is like the current situation between the DPRK and China, with one wrong step and one wrong step. The emperor died suddenly, but he left a legacy of clothes, Liu Jiye took the power of the victory of Pingliao and entered the Beijing division in one fell swoop.

Now what Zhou Yanru regrets most is that he secretly instigated this trouble, without this trouble, Liu Jiye's 30,000 Beiyang soldiers would not have been stationed in Beijing for a long time. But because of this trouble, Liu Jiye took advantage of the situation, not only exposed the corruption of the Beijing army, but also made the emperor completely disappointed and dissatisfied with the Beijing army, Liu Jiye took the opportunity to promote the reorganization of the Beijing army.

It's a complete defeat.

There was a knock at the door, "Sir." The butler beckoned outside.

"Come in." Zhou Yanru was dressed in a green coat and horn belt, leaned on the chair weakly, and shouted tiredly. The door was pushed open, and the butler stood in the doorway.

"Master, see you Wu Langzhong."

Hearing Wu Changshi's name, Zhou Yanru frowned a few times, and he listened to his words in this trouble. "Ask him to come over." Although Zhou Yanru was dissatisfied with this miscalculation, he still wanted to hear what he could do to save the next thing.

Because the national funeral was not yet in March, Wu Changshi also wore a green clothes hornband.

"Elder Ge."

"Come, you're coming." Zhou Yanru's voice was tired.

Wu Changshi also completely lost his previous pride, he sat down in front of Zhou Yanru and looked at the chessboard. Shaking his head, "It's dead." ”

"There's no way to crack it?"

"Difficult."

Wu Changshi only replied with one word, these days, the rectification of the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses is going very smoothly. Liu Jun first suppressed the rebels with the thunder of the Beiyang soldiers. Then he raised and beat lightly, only disposed of a group of small army leaders, and did not delve into the people behind the scenes.

At the same time, Liu Jun paid all the arrears to the Beijing army, and distributed them directly, without going through the Ministry of War, without drifting or deducting them. A large amount of grain was also brought into Beijing for the Beijing army to buy at a very favorable price.

"The guards and pro-army, the Praetorian Guard, the garrison, and the garrison have all been reorganized. The original Beijing army did not even retain the original plan of 80,000, but only retained less than 50,000 people, transferred 50,000 from Beiyang and Denglai, and recruited 30,000 young and strong recruits from Gyeonggi on the spot. ”

"The commander of the Nine Gates of the Praetorian Guard is Liu Yunsheng, and his position as the former Beiyang General Army was taken over by Zhang Guodong."

The garrison and garrison were now reduced to three divisions of 45,000 men each.

"Liu Jun recommended the general soldier Hu Dawei as the chief soldier of the garrison army, and the fierce as a tiger as the chief soldier of the garrison army." These two members are also considered to be fierce generals of the imperial court, and they were demoted to deputy commanders earlier because of their ineffective suppression of bandits, and this time Liu Jun recommended these two to serve as the commanders of the garrison and garrison. In fact, it was because after the last military rebellion, the emperor was very dissatisfied with those princes and nobles.

Last time, the princes were invited to tea by the Jinyi Guard, although they were all sent back afterwards, but now this time after the reorganization of the Beijing army. The princes are no longer allowed to command the troops in the Beijing army.

"Liu Jun didn't install his own people as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army?" Zhou Yanru asked.

"This Liu Jiye is very cunning, he recommended Hu Dawei and Fierce Tiger as the chief soldiers, but the deputy chief soldiers recommended Qin Yimin and Feng Sheng under his command, and the six division commanders below. It's all his people. Even if there are no people from him, the military envoys of the town supervisors, the envoys of the instructors, and the envoys of the suppression, the chiefs of staff of the two armies all use his people. ”

"Ge Lao, the 10,000 guards and pro-army are all selected from the Chu army. 120,000 troops of the Praetorian Guard, Garrison, and Garrison. Among them, 40,000 Chu troops, 30,000 newly recruited new troops, and another 30,000 old Beijing troops. After the mixing, the eight divisions and 24 associations of the three armies were actually under the control of Liu Jiye. ”

This time the reorganization of the Beijing army, on the surface, the number has been cut by half, and the guards and the janissaries are separated from the governor of Zhili, but in fact, the people who control these two armies are basically officers transferred from the Chu army.

And the garrison and garrison armies under the governor of Zhili have been controlled by Liu Jiye from top to bottom.

"This Liu Jiye is quite good at buying people's hearts, those newly recruited recruits, each has a settling-in allowance of ten silver dollars, and even those hired 50,000 old Beijing soldiers have the same settling-in allowance of ten yuan each. 800,000 silver dollars were smashed down, and now those soldiers and horses, which one is not happy to follow him Liu Jiye. ”

Zhou Yanru sighed again, he couldn't do anything about this situation.

The withdrawal of the nobles and military ministers from the Beijing army, and the abolition of the six governors and governors of Tianjin, made the civilian officials more and more weak in managing the new Beijing army.

"There is another thing, Liu Jiye played and recommended the imperial court to appoint Qin Liangyu as the chief soldier of Ningyuan, and replaced the post of Sichuan general soldier with Ma Xianglin, the son of Qin Liangyu, who is now the chief soldier of Huguang, and then appointed Zhang Shan, who is now the commander of the training army of the Lianghu regiment of Zhenjiang, as the general soldier of Huguang, and officially reorganized the training army of the Lianghu regiment into the new Huguang town."

"Elder Ge, you must stop Liu Jiye, otherwise, how will you restrain him in the future."

"In this way, the emperor is obedient to Liu Jiye, especially the soldiers and horses, and he doesn't consult with us at all. The Prime Minister's Office doesn't seem to be in charge of military affairs. ”

No matter how depressed Zhou Yanru was, after the Beijing Army's salary incident, Liu Jun took the initiative, and the situation was extremely smooth.

The Prince's Mansion.

Liu Jun drank tea with Liu Yunsheng, Zhang Guodong and others.

"In the future, Beiyang will be handed over to the Winter Dog Commander." Liu Jun said to Zhang Guodong with a smile.

"Thank you for cultivating and promoting."

"It's all my own people, don't say those words. Guodong, Beiyang Town just expanded by 30,000 people last time, but when it turned around, it drew the additional 30,000 marines into the Beijing camp. Now that you have taken over as the Beiyang General Army, the first thing you will do when you take office is to recruit soldiers again and replenish the 30,000 marines. ”

"Replenish the troops as soon as possible, and then step up training, and keep an eye on three directions, Shanhaiguan, Tianjin, and Dengzhou. There are three fleets in Beiyang, and you can station them in Qinhuangdao Port, Tianjin Port, and Dengzhou Port on the Shanhaiguan Sea, monitor these three places, and be responsible for the security of Zhenjiang and Lushun in Liaodong, and support them at any time, understand? ”

"Please rest assured, I will complete the task."

In this round, Liu Jun's harvest is huge. After the reorganization of the Beijing army, he has basically controlled more than 100,000 Beijing troops. Next, as long as the officers of the Chu army work together, they can further control the Beijing army. Even if some of the officers are not from the Chu army, it doesn't matter.

The military salaries and equipment of the Beijing army in the future have to go from Liu Jun. And as long as more officers and non-commissioned officers are appointed in, it will not be difficult to control the Beijing army. After all, there are 50,000 Chu troops joining the Beijing army, accounting for more than one-third, and if those new recruits are also controlled, they can account for half.

"I will transfer another batch of soldiers and horses from Liaodong to form a new Ningyuan Town together with Qin Liangyu's Sichuan army. The towns of Lushun, Zhenjiang, Denglai, and Beiyang have successively transferred quite a number of veterans, and the next step is to step up the recruitment of new troops, organize training, and replenish their combat strength as soon as possible. ”

The current situation is encouraging.

The Chu army was originally the four towns of Huguang, Lushun, Zhenjiang and Beiyang. Before entering Beijing, Liu Jun supplemented the Black Flag Army, strengthened Beiyang Town, and at the same time, established a new Denglai Town, and forcibly merged the original Denglai Town. In Hubei, in the name of regimental training, a new army was built.

At present, through this opportunity, infiltrate and control the Jing army, and rebuild Ningyuan Town, so that the number of the Chu army will be more than doubled.

As long as this round of adjustments is completed, then the Chu army will really soar into the sky.

Huguang Town, Sichuan Town, Denglai Town, Lushun Town, Zhenjiang Town, Ningyuan Town, Guards Army, Praetorian Guard, Garrison Army, Garrison Army, Beiyang Town, the army under the control of the Chu army will reach 11 military towns, with a number of nearly 350,000 people.

As long as these armies are controlled, there is no longer a place in the whole world to restrain Liu Jun.

However, from the four towns to the eleven towns at once, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army has also decreased a lot. And it will take a lot of time to complete the next round of outfit change and training. Especially for the armies of the Beijing Army, it will not take a short time to complete control.

But this trend is unstoppable.

After Liu Jun transferred the Beiyang soldiers to directly suppress the Beijing army's troubles, many officials thought that Liu Jun would take the opportunity to strengthen the military power and strengthen the influence of the Beijing division.

But they didn't expect that Liu Jun's methods were so fierce and his appetite was so big.

Liu Jun almost swallowed the entire Beijing army, 50,000 Chu troops entered Beijing, and 270,000 Beijing troops, in the end, only 50,000 people were retained, which surprised everyone to find that overnight, the strongest army and the most powerful soldiers in the Beijing division and around Gyeonggi were actually the Chu army, 50,000 Chu troops, and the armor was sharp. Although the original Beijing army retained 50,000, it was obviously not superior in numbers, and it was also completely inferior in equipment and training.

In particular, after the 50,000 old Beijing army and the 50,000 Chu army and 30,000 new recruits were mixed, it was actually equivalent to the Chu army annexing the Beijing army.

It really changed overnight.

While Liu Jun was still maintaining the towns under his original control, he also extended his hand to Sichuan, Denglai, Ningyuan, and even Tianjin became the actual control area of Beiyang Town.

Unscrupulous and ambitious.

Liu Jun's drastic methods have aroused the jealousy of countless officials. Under the instigation of people with hearts, the undercurrent is surging.

"We must join forces, and if we don't curb Liu Jun anymore, I'm afraid that there will be no one to control it."

Cabinet, Zhou Yanru personally entered Wu Fu's public house, and said straight to the point with Wu Fu, the second assistant who was also a minister.

"What Elder Zhou Ge said is that it is indeed a bit too arrogant to give a surname." Wu Fu nodded, Liu Jun's performance this time had already made Wu Fu very vigilant. (To be continued.) )
