While buying war horses and food, Zheng Xunrui did not forget to integrate the army of the Weisho Camp Fort in Yulin Town, the Yulin border town, known as 150,000 soldiers, only 35,000 soldiers with weak combat effectiveness, this sounds like a joke, you must know that the three most important border towns of the Ming Dynasty are Datong and Yulin in Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong Needless to say, everyone knows that the situation of the Datong border army should be better than Yulin, but there must be hidden dangers of zài heavy dà, as for the situation of Yulin border town, Zheng Xunrui has mastered it clearly.

The 35,000 border army, of which 8,000 officers at all levels, were equipped according to the establishment of 150,000 sergeants, and the contingent was of course huge, more than the total number of Zheng Jiajun. Converted, there is no one of the four people who has a rank officer, this is a joke, such an army cannot fight at all, Zheng Xunrui can only be lucky, these years of famine, the grassland tribes have not been spared, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, otherwise Yulin Border Town would have been defeated a long time ago.

With money and food in hand, Zheng Xunrui must integrate Yulin Border Town.

But he also encountered a very practical problem, that is, the selection of the Yulin General Army, the imperial court has not appointed it for a long time.

The chief military officer is a pure military general, and there will be no civilian official to concurrently serve as the chief military officer, and the civilian officer as the chief military officer sounds a bit cheap, and no civilian official is willing to do this, generally speaking, the general military officer is subject to civilian moderation.

Yulin Town also has a different situation from other border towns, that is, the imperial court has not sent a prison army for the time being, that is to say, there is no eunuch to supervise the army here, which saves Zheng Xunrui a lot of trouble, and the eunuch can directly get in touch with the emperor, which may be that no eunuch is willing to come to Yulin Town, which is poor and has no pants to wear, and he will not get any benefits when he comes.

The imperial court did not send a chief military officer for the time being, not that Zheng Xunrui could not do it, he was the governor of Yansui, commanding the military and political affairs of Yansui, and everything could be decided and decided.

Of course, before he started, Zheng Xunrui also secretly did some tricks, mainly for officers at all levels.

The conditions in Yulin Town are too poor, the officers here, if they were not able to deduct military salaries and get some extra income, they would have left a long time ago, and now the new governor is here, and the chief soldier He Yaowu committed suicide, which deterred all the officers, no one dared to blatantly deduct military salaries, if the governor found out, the deducted money and food were not to be said, I am afraid that they would also end up committing suicide and apologizing, and no one would want to meet that result.

It was under such circumstances that some rumors spread that the imperial court was afraid that it would clean up the border town of Yulin, allocate military salaries according to the actual number of people, and possibly clean up the previous military salaries.

This news caused a shock among the officers, and many officers were panicked, not knowing whether the news was true or false, and if they really cleaned up, their buttocks would not be clean, and they would not be punished.

Just when everyone was panicking, another news came, that is, at this time, find a way to transfer out of Yulin Border Town, of course, it is not possible to think about transferring to a good place, even if you want to go to Datong, it is impossible, the best place to go is Liaodong, Liaodong lacks officers and sergeants.

Liaodong this place, the Houjin Tartars are eyeing the tiger, everyone is afraid, but to say that they are particularly afraid, it is not necessarily true, the Houjin Tartars generally do not provoke battles in Liaodong, many times they directly enter the Guannei to loot, Liaodong does not have many things, of course, this is the truth that only people know.

Whether to apply to Liaodong or not, many officers were hesitant, but later more and more rumors appeared, which made many officers make up their minds, that is, if they left Yulin Border Town, the previous things would be written off.

So some officers began to secretly connect with each other, striving for more officers to apply to Liaodong, so as to avoid the investigation of the imperial court, and the previous things were gently let go, after all, in Liaodong Town, it was to pin the head to the waistband of the trousers, how could the court pursue it.

During this process, the governor's yamen did not react.

This made many officers even more frightened, after all, it was impossible for them to know many things in the imperial court, and the new governor was the champion of the palace examination, and he was very well-connected in the imperial court, and he was the governor at the age of eighteen, and he was still a student of Lord Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and people must know the affairs of the imperial court, and they were afraid that they were waiting to do it.

A letter requesting a transfer was finally delivered to the governor's yamen, albeit a little late.

Among the officers, there were very few literate officers, and many of them had their fingerprints under their names, and in the end, more than 6,000 officers applied for transfer to Liaodong.

That is, there are less than two thousand officers left.

This qiē was secretly operated by Zheng Xunrui, but he didn't expect that more than 6,000 people applied to go to Liaodong, this number is too large, and it may cause a storm in the imperial court, and these more than 6,000 people left, indicating that the remaining border troops in Yulin Border Town are less than 30,000 people.

Zheng Xunrui had already written a letter to his mentor Xu Guangqi, telling him in detail about the situation in Yulin Border Town, he couldn't hide it, and finally he also put forward his opinion and got the approval of his mentor, Xu Guangqi's health was still very bad, but the imperial army recovered Laizhou, which made his spirit slightly better, so sometimes, he also asked about things in the imperial court.

Zheng Xunrui's decision to integrate the border town of Yulin was recognized by Xu Guangqi, and Xu Guangqi specially greeted the Ministry of War, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who had just taken office, respected Xu Guangqi very much, and personally expressed his attitude to Xu Guangqi that these problems could be solved and the officers of Yulinwei could be transferred to Liaodong, you must know that Liaodong is short of people.

The arrow has to be sent, no matter how many people there are, since Zheng Xunrui has already started to move, it is impossible to stop, these more than 6,000 people leaving, for Yulin Town, it is a great thing, so that he can easily integrate many guards and forts, so that the sergeant can get enough military salary, at least to be able to maintain his life.

Geographically speaking, there are too many guards and forts set up in Yulin Town, this way of densely manipulating troops has long been outdated, if the army is not strong, and you can't win people, you are full of sergeants on the Great Wall, and it is not much effect, so it consumes not only military salaries, but also makes the various guards and forts have a psychology of mutual dependence.

Of course, what Zheng Xunrui really relies on is the mutual market with the grassland tribes, as long as there is trade between them, the possibility of war is very small.

The letter to his mentor Xu Guangqi was sent out first, and two days later, the letter to the Ministry of War was also sent away, Zheng Xunrui waited for news from the imperial court, and after the edict from the Ministry of War came, he could integrate Yulin Town.

The Ministry of War, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was watching the twists and turns of Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Yansui.

Zhang Fengyi is also a bold and knowledgeable minister, once under the command of Sun Chengzong, led the army to recover Zunhua, Yongping, Qian'an and Luanzhou and other four cities, combat ability is recognized, although he has just been appointed as the secretary of the military department, but the situation in various parts of the Ming Dynasty is basically clear, and Hong Chengchou, Chen Qiyu and Lu Xiangsheng are the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, all of which are enabled in his hands.

Rao is well-informed, after watching Zheng Xunrui's performance, Zhang Fengyi was also surprised, he didn't expect Zheng Xunrui to adjust so many officers, from the deputy general to the general, a total of more than 6,000 people, and these people all took the initiative to ask, begging to go to Liaodong to garrison the border pass, and fight to the death with the Houjin Tartars.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Fengyi decided to visit Xu Guangqi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and by the way, to see how Xu Guangqi's body was.

It was inappropriate to come to Xu Guangqi with a recital, such a recital should first present the cabinet and see what the cabinet's opinion was, but Xu Guangqi said hello in advance.

When Zhang Fengyi talked about the situation, Xu Guangqi always forced his eyes.

After Zhang Fengyi finished speaking, Xu Guangqi opened his eyes.

"Master Zhang, what do you think about this matter?"

"Xiaguan feels that such an adjustment is too large, I am afraid that it will cause discussion in the DPRK and China, and if someone impeaches, Xiaguan is worried that Lord Zheng will be difficult to deal with."

"The strong man broke his wrist, scraped the bones to cure the poison, Lord Zhang, the situation of the border army, you and I are clear, not to mention Datong Yulin and Ningxia Wei and other places, just say Liaodong, the imperial court spent countless money and invested in Liaodong, but it has repeatedly suffered defeats, and even the Denglai recruits that the official spent his heart and soul to build were also destroyed, these situations, is it a sudden appearance, the official will never see it, although Qingyang is young, he has already found the fundamental problem, such a mainstay, if it is not supported, Who else will be able to support the Ming dynasty in the future......"

After saying so many words in one breath, Xu Guangqi's face turned even paler.

"What my lord means, the lower official understands, and the lower official attaches the construction of the military department."

Xu Guangqi shook his head secretly.

"Lord Zhang hasn't understood yet, Yulin General Soldier He Yaowu, just so self-cut, how can things be so simple, Qingyang is young, there is no foundation in the court, the official's body is not as good as day by day, if the official goes, who else in the court can support Qingyang, what Qingyang has done, the official has already noticed, it is definitely not something that many adults in the court can do, and it took less than a year to Yan'an Mansion, and the situation was completely stabilized. Qing Yang will definitely do great things in Yulin, and it won't take long. ”

Zhang Fengyi's face became solemn, and after thinking for a while, he spoke categorically.

"The lower officials understand, Lord Zheng's twists and turns, the lower officials will bear it with all their might, and the military department will draft an edict and submit it to the cabinet for review and signature, as for the reasons, the lower officials will specifically explain it to the cabinet."

Xu Guangqi nodded, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
