The stalemate in Korea was right for Zheng Kezang, but as the weather changed, the Qing army's actions in Huguang also began to be active, "The army first took the Mongolian horse team as the pioneer, defeated the main force of the adventurous Huguang deputy general Cui Ping's army in the area north of the Jingjiang River and west of the Han River, and seriously injured Cui Ping himself, and then captured the Qianjiang, Jingling (Tianmen), Jingshan, and Hanchuan counties that Cui Ping had recovered, forcing the remnants of Cui Ping to retreat to Hanyang Fucheng" Although the army was taken in the south of the Yangtze River, the possible counterattack of the four divisions of the Zheng army did not storm Hanyang, But then he marched eastward, defeated the local anti-Qing forces appeased by Hong Lei on the front line of Yingcheng, Yunmeng, and Xiaogan, and recaptured Huang'an and Macheng from Wang Xinhua, the general soldier of Huguang, surrounded Huangpi and threatened Huangzhou.
In the face of the unscrupulous rampage of the Qing army in Jiangbei, the supervisor Hong Lei was a little hesitant, because he had never been in charge of the army, Hong Lei could not judge where to put the main force, so he wrote to Zheng Kezhang one after another to ask Zheng Kezhang to send the generals in the army to preside over the war. So, on the seventh day of April in the first year of Baokang, Zheng Kezhang personally led two divisions of soldiers, horses, and water 6 to march together and set off for Wuchang.
Before leaving for Huguang, Zheng Kezhang issued several orders, the first of which was to form a Praetorian Guard.
The Praetorian Guard Army is responsible for guarding the capital, garrisoning the palace, the palace and the important place in front of the Yaqian, and its generals and soldiers are all drawn from the current 6 divisions of the water to rotate, a total of 12 regiments are organized and trained, and the regiment has three commanders and four sub-divisions to deal with military affairs, military affairs, supplements, drills, and services, and its transfer power is not under the jurisdiction of the 6th Military Department of the Water, but is under the personal command of Zheng Kezang, and forms a double protection network with the internal guard department.
Zheng Kezang's second order was to divide Jiangxi into two, with 11 prefectures, including Nanchang, Ruizhou, Jiujiang, Nankang, Raozhou, Guangxin, Jianchang, Fuzhou, Linjiang, Yuanzhou, and Quzhou, which was originally under Zhejiang, as northern Jiangxi Province; Ganzhou Prefecture and Nan'an Prefecture in southern Gannan and Yanping Prefecture, Tingzhou Prefecture in Fujian, Shaowu Prefecture in Fujian, Nanxiong Prefecture in Guangdong, Jiaying Zhili Prefecture and Chenzhou Prefecture in Hunan Province were transformed into Gannan Province; At the same time, in order to make up for the loss of area in Fujian Province, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province and Chaozhou, Guangdong Province were merged into Fujian; In order to make up for the loss of Guangdong's area, Xunzhou Prefecture in Guangxi was merged into Guangdong; In addition, Guangxi Prefecture was changed from Guilin to Liuzhou.
Zheng Kezang's purpose was, of course, to weaken the economic strength of the province so that the central government could strengthen its control, but the establishment of a new province would inevitably increase the scale of the provincial feudal territory and its subordinates.
According to Zheng Kezang's order, except for a very small number of "small" prefectures whose economic indicators and geographical location were indeed very important, were downgraded to Zhili Prefecture, all prefecture-level administrative regions that were too small in area were divided and assigned to neighboring prefectures in order to strengthen the economic strength of each prefecture.
After giving these three orders, Zheng Kezhang traveled all the way west, first to the former Taiping Mansion, which was renamed Taiping Prefecture, to check the opening process of the Ma'anshan Iron Mine, and then inspected the newly established Chizhou camp in Chizhou. The so-called Chizhou battalion is a training camp set up by Zheng Kezhang in order to restrict the front-line commanders from privately replenishing troops and expanding the army without permission.
Of course, Zheng Kezhang also knows that these are all actions to make up for the dead, and they may not be effectively implemented in today's military state, but it is better to have a system than no system, for this reason, Zheng Kezang in addition to setting up a training camp in Chizhou, but also set up two similar camps in Ganzhou and Wuzhou, Zheng Kezhang also has plans to build it into a place for future exercises, but this will be a story later.
"Guan Yang, Guan Di, what will you two whisper again." The two brothers were interrupted by loud shouting. "Out of the line." Two thirteen- and fourteen-year-old boys stood up from the team with a little weakness. "The uproar in the army and the shaking of the ranks of the army should be cut off on the battlefield." The professor didn't look at the two of them, but looked at the little radish heads in front of him. "Although you are not soldiers yet, you are no longer ordinary people when you enter the Young Martial Arts School, so." The professor pointed at the two brothers with a bamboo whip in his hand. "This official will punish the two of you for one day's confinement." There was some commotion in the team in front of the professors, but they had all been trained for more than a year, and although they felt that the punishment was a bit heavy, they did not dare to bargain with the professors. "Take them down." The two guards on the side escorted the pouting brothers down, and listened to the professor before leaving the group. "Now follow me to practice the ninth form of Changquan!"
"Unlucky!" Because the guards knew that these children were going to be military attaches in the future, and the children were young, they said that they were guarded, but in fact, they still let the brothers walk by themselves, so Guan Yang had the opportunity to whisper to Guan Di. "I thought I could see my father, but I didn't expect to be robbed by the professor, I don't know if my father will be angry when he finds out."
"It's not that I blame you, I can't help it when I see Daddy's banner." Guan Di complained. "Nothing will be done now."
"You're not the same." Guan Yang was a little dissatisfied with his brother's complaints. "What's the use of just talking about me"
Before Guan Yang finished speaking, he saw a team of knights appear in front of him, the two children were still looking at each other in the backlight at a loss, and the two escorted guards had already knelt on the ground with a grunt.
I heard a person on the horse ask in a familiar accent, "Are you a student of the Young Martial Arts?" Where is this going? ”
Guan Yang and Guan Di almost jumped up and threw themselves into each other's arms, but they suddenly saw each other's stern faces clearly, and they subconsciously stopped, having received more than a year of military training and military education: "Back to my father, back to this adult, I am a student of young martial arts, but I violated military discipline, and the official sentenced me to confinement for one day, and now I am being escorted to serve my sentence." ”
"Violation of military discipline should be punished." A smile appeared on Zheng Kezang's face immediately. "But the answer is also clever, so how about having a meal with the companion and then continuing to serve the sentence?" Although Zheng Kezang's words were said to the two sons of the pseudonyms Guan Yang and Guan Di, in fact, the young martial arts who knew the identities of the two would not object, and the manager of the Chizhou camp who did not know the identities of the two was even more envious, after all, he himself did not have this honor to dine with Zheng Kezang, but fortunately, the chief manager knew very well that Zheng Kezhang had always treated the boy camp preferentially, and today he was about to see the hunting heart, and there was no special secret. "Since the chief officers have agreed, let's follow."
Zheng Kezhang drove the horse away, and a group of officials naturally followed, only two guards stayed, helped the two young masters to the saddle respectively, and then under the dumbfounded escorts of the escort, they walked away, leaving only such words in the wind: "We took the children away, and the sacrificial wine will bring them back later, so you just have to go back and resume your life."
"Daddy, Daddy!" Entering Zheng Kezang's military tent, the two boys threw themselves on Zheng Kezang's body in no particular order, crying while calling, which made people feel a little sad. "We miss Daddy and Grandma."
"I didn't come back to see it during the Chinese New Year." Having said that, Zheng Kezhang hugged his two sons tightly. "Yes, it's a little stronger than before, but you can't cry anymore, and if you cry again, you'll become a cat." Under the persuasion of Zheng Kezang, Cook and Zheng Di slowly held back their tears. "Eat first, and then I'll talk about your situation."
Since Zheng Kezhang has always advocated the same desires from top to bottom, except for the two children, the rest are the same as those of the officers and soldiers below: a piece of big fatty meat, a piece of moldy dried vegetables, a bamboo bowl of brown rice, and a piece of egg drop soup with a little oil splash.
Zheng Kezhang ate with relish, and the two children were not picky because they were used to eating in the army, and soon, a speechless light meal was over, and then wiped his mouth with a hand towel to cook, Zheng Di began to report on his life and study in the young martial arts school since the first month: "The professors said that in the future, we will come to Chizhou to train for two months every year, and we will have to practice on foot every time. ”
"How many miles do you train in a day, whether you are left behind, how to deal with the wounded, and how to settle down with food and accommodation." Zheng Kezhang asked in detail, and the two children answered everything they could answer one by one, and finally Zheng Kezhang asked. "Why did you violate military discipline today?"
The two children were embarrassed, and finally the older one replied: "It's all Daddy's fault, I heard that Daddy is inspecting the school army, and we want to see Daddy's banner, but the professor caught it." ”
Seeing Zheng Kezang's appearance of smiling, the two children quit, and suddenly threw themselves into Zheng Kezang's arms for a while, Zheng Kezang hugged them and played for a while, and then they were steady: "Since it is a violation of military discipline, since the professor has given an order to punish, wait a minute, go back and carry it out." ”
Looking at the two children with puzzled expressions, Zheng Kezang's tone was stern: "You are my son, and you have a broad future in the future, so you must know from an early age, what should be done and what not to do, Daddy, I can also let you stay in the big tent for a night today, but is this really good for you?" ”
Cooking, Zheng Di seems to understand whether he understands or not, but Zheng Kezhang knows his mind to take care of himself, so after glancing at each other, he said: "Daddy, don't worry, wait a minute, the sons will go with the sacrificial wine." ”
That being said, when it came time to separate, not only Zheng Kezhang was a little reluctant, but the two children even hugged Zheng Kezhang and cried, but Zheng Kezhang finally reluctantly returned the child to the sacrificial wine of the young martial arts: "Ye Qing, remember not to indulge them in the future because they are lonely sons." ”
The sacrificial wine of the young martial arts is only promised, but Zheng Kezang said in a solemn tone: "Lone let the two of them come to study the young martial arts, not just to avoid them from being better than women, the key is to cultivate their tenacious character and hands-on style, if you can let them learn this, then you are meritorious, if you can't learn it, no matter how much you love them, you are harming them."
