Chapter 160

The so-called poor dagger, some things can only be known when not known, then both sides can have a chance to turn around, but once the window paper is pierced, then one party will be ruined and die.

So, Wang Pu took a hot potato.

But the emperor's will could not be violated, so Wang Pu began a thorough investigation, and thus the Zhou court began to turmoil.

Zhao Kuangyin also regretted it very much, knowing that Chai Rongzhen would hand over the post of inspecting the school master and the front of the palace to himself, so he didn't have to make this stupid trick.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to blame Zhang Yongde, but Zhao Kuangyin has always had a good personal relationship with Zhang Yongde.

Zhao Kuangyin just didn't feel at ease, he was afraid that Chai Rong would not really forgive him for conspiring with Chen Tuan to incite rumors that day, and he was even more afraid that Chai Rong would settle accounts after the autumn after arriving in Kaifeng, so on a whim, he came up with such a stupid trick.

Originally, I wanted to use this matter to test what Chai Rong thought in his heart, or whether he really regarded himself as a brother, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in Kaifeng, Chai Rong would resign Zhang Yongde from his position and let himself take over.

Zhao Kuangyin was both moved and regretted in his heart, but at this time, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't confess the matter to Chai Rong no matter what, there is a saying called "no land and no silver three hundred taels", Zhao Kuangyin is now in such an embarrassing situation.

Zhao Kuangyin is not stupid, he understood afterwards that as long as Chai Rong investigates this matter deeply, it will be revealed, and there are not many people who can hand things to the emperor on the march of tens of thousands of forbidden troops, and only dozens of middle-level and above generals in the forbidden army can do it, and half of these generals have anything to do with themselves.

In fact, Wang Pu was right when he said to Chai Rong. This matter can be turned into a big thing and a small matter, not to mention that the forbidden army is still in Chai Rong's hands. Even if the forbidden army is not in Chai Rong's hands, if you really want the forbidden army to rebel against Chai Rong, Zhou State does not have such a strong person.

Shelving this matter will not only keep the Zhou court from falling into turmoil, but also show Chai Rong's broad-mindedness, why not.

It's a pity that the originally open-minded Chai Rong has endured more than two years of war. Especially the defeat of the Battle of Lingzhou personally planned, coupled with the complete victory of the Ming Kingdom, his mood suddenly became depressed. If it were normal, Chai Rong might have obeyed Wang Pu's advice and shelved the matter.

As soon as Wang Pu's side moved, Zhao Kuangyin felt the pressure.

In order to protect himself, Zhao Kuangyin could only start contacting his Yishe brothers. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin controlled all the forbidden troops of the Zhou State. Coupled with many years of experience in the forbidden army, his reputation in the forbidden army is second only to Chai Rong, and he is even above Zhang Yongde in front of the original school inspection master and palace.

Under Wang Pu's investigation, the upper-level officials were all in danger, and they secretly connected in order to protect themselves, and the situation began to become chaotic.

……。

And the Ming Kingdom is under the will of Baili Wuji. The recovery phase was quickly transitioned, although several armoury workshops were still producing large quantities of munitions. But the decree has been tilted in favor of domestic affairs.

When Xu Shouren was ordered to return to Jinling Mansion to report on his work, Baili Wuji officially handed over the Military Intelligence Agency in the hands of Xu Shiming to Xu Shouren, if it were not for the war in the past few years, this position would have belonged to Xu Shouren, Xu Shiming is good at internal affairs, but he is not very familiar with intelligence, for so many years, the Military Intelligence Agency has been staying in the ordinary scout function, in Baili Wuji's conception, the Military Intelligence Agency should include all the things that the army cannot complete, so as to the point of commanding the fingers.

And Xu Shouren has followed him since he was a child, and under the influence of hearing and seeing, he naturally understands Baili Wuji's mind more thoroughly than Xu Shiming, plus he is young and has a strong ability to accept, Baili Wuji has confidence in him. The most important thing is that Xu Shouren's personality is suitable to lead this organization.

Since then, Xu Shouren, as he hoped, has truly become the shadow behind Baili Wuji, following Baili Wuji all the time.

On this day, Yun Yang led the First Army back to Jinling and was immediately summoned by Baili Wuji.

At the same time, Baili Wuji summoned Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian, and Feng Dao, and let Xu Shouren attend to reorganize the Ming army.

Baili Wuji took advantage of the losses of all armies in this war and carried out a thorough reorganization, on the one hand, to improve the combat strength of the Ming army, and on the other hand, to lay the foundation for the future Northern Expedition.

The new army has digested Chen Yanzheng's army stationed in Yanyun, leaving the first army and the special operations army of Yunyang, and Baili Wuji wants to reorganize them into a new army, and break up all three armies and reorganize them.

Baili Wuji decided to divide the Ming army into three parts: first, the new army, which was responsible for foreign wars; the second is the garrison army, which is responsible for defending the land and securing the people in all provinces and states in the country; The third is the Kyoto Imperial Forest Army.

According to the military system of the Ming State, the principle that the number of the central army and the local army is equal, combined with the actual needs of the Ming State, after discussion by the monarch and ministers, it was decided that the Ming State garrison army should be divided into six regions: the southwest frontier army was formed with Chengdu Prefecture as the center as the first army; With Tanzhou Mansion as the center, the Central China Garrison Army was formed as the second army; With Xingwangfu as the center, the South China Sea Garrison was formed as the third army; With Changle Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion as the center, the Southeast Garrison Army was formed as the Fourth Army; With Dadingfu as the center, the Northeast Garrison Army was formed as the Fifth Army; With Ganzhou as the center, the Hexi Frontier Army was formed as the Sixth Army.

The First Army was reorganized with Ma Jiyun's department as the main body; The Second Army was expanded with Wang Kui, the commander of Jingbian in Xizhou, as the main body; The Third Army was reorganized with the former Sixth Army Wang Dingbao Department as the main body; The Fourth Army was reorganized with the Xiong Ji headquarters as the main body; The Fifth Army was reorganized with Yu Cunzhong's Department as the main body; The Sixth Army was reorganized with Yang Yebu as the main body.

Due to the different situations of the Sixth Army, the strength of the First Army of Chengdu Prefecture, the Second Army of Tanzhou Prefecture, the Fifth Army of Dading Prefecture, and the Sixth Army of Ganzhou Prefecture was tentatively set at 60,000 troops each, and the strength of the Third and Fourth Armies was 30,000 each. A total of 300,000 garrison troops.

As a result, the new army directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming court was also 300,000 people.

Baili Wuji ordered the new army to be expanded into three armies, each with 100,000 people, and the first army was directly reorganized by the Baili Yi Department; The Second Army was expanded by the Yunyang First Army as the main body; The Third Army was expanded by Ding Sijing's Special Operations Army.

Because there were only more than 30,000 people in the Yunyang Department and less than 30,000 in the Ding Sijin Department, and there was a lack of a large number of soldiers, Baili Wuji aimed to recruit 140,000 people in the Ming State to be selected by Yunyang and Ding Sijing, and recruited 4,000 military students from Jinling and Tanzhou to enrich the grassroots commanders of the two armies.

At the same time, the training camp in Jiangdu was opened to the two armies to conduct systematic training for newly recruited soldiers.

Finally, Baili Wuji specially imposed strong regulations on the enlistment conditions of the Imperial Forest Army in Jinling Prefecture, and from now on, the military students of Jinling and Tanzhou schools will be included in the Imperial Forest Army in addition to supplementing the new army every year.
