Chapter 381: Reorganizing the New Army
Not long after Li Yuntian became a Hanlin attendant, Emperor Xuande issued an edict to let Li Yuntian and Li Yuntian command the Shenji Battalion among the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, which attracted a voice of envy and jealousy from the outside world.
The reason why Emperor Xuande handed over the Shenji Battalion to Li Yuntian was because Li Yuntian shouldered an important responsibility, that is, to let the Academy of Sciences of the Jiangwutang Division improve the firearms of the Shenji Battalion.
In quelling the rebellion of the Han king, Li Yuntian's first victory was the capture of Qingzhou City, which was defended by the rebel general Yang Yong.
With Li Yuntian's strength and soldiers at that time, the outside world thought that he would not be able to capture Qingzhou City, which was high and thick, which also made Yang Yong not take him to heart at all.
In fact, Li Yuntian took Qingzhou City in only one night, and also captured a large number of rebels.
The reason for this was that the walls of Qingzhou City suddenly collapsed, which made Li Yuntian lead his army to calmly attack the sleeping rebels.
As for why Qingzhou City suddenly collapsed, it is widely circulated among the people and officialdom that Li Yuntian invited the gods to help him and used thunder to collapse the city walls of Qingzhou City.
Except for those who participated in the bombing of the city with explosives, there were no more than five people in the entire Ming Dynasty who knew the inside story, and among them naturally there was Emperor Xuande.
Emperor Xuande didn't expect that the explosives that Li Yuntian was drumming up in the lecture hall would have such an amazing power, which had a huge shock to him: if the enemy had mastered such a dangerous thing, then wouldn't the walls of the capital be regarded as nothing.
According to Li Yuntian, those overseas Xiyi people are not accustomed to Confucius and Mencius, but are very interested in the development of explosives, etc., which will inevitably pose a serious threat to the Ming Dynasty in time.
Therefore, just as Li Yuntian said, if you want to deter those Xiyi people, you must surpass them in the development of explosives and other technologies, which makes Emperor Xuande attach great importance to the Academy of Sciences.
At the beginning of May, Shi Hu Yongxing, the governor of the Zhao Palace, came to the capital and brought with him the Song of the Emperor Zhao to ask for the removal of the palace guards.
Although Emperor Xuande did not send troops to capture King Zhao when he returned to Beijing a year ago, many ministers have impeached King Zhao after returning to Beijing, thinking that King Zhao is as anti-terrorist as King Han, and Emperor Xuande should remove King Zhao's guards and detain him in the capital like King Han.
Emperor Xuande felt very distressed after seeing these performances, not to mention that he now only has a pro-imperial uncle left in King Zhao, and he doesn't want to do this just for the sake of the royal face, otherwise it will inevitably cause criticism from the court and the people, and then lose the royal face.
For this reason, Emperor Xuande thought of a way to send those impeachment to King Zhao and let the concubine Commander Guangping wait for Yuan Rong to be seen by King Zhao.
When the news of the surrender of the Han King to Emperor Xuande reached Zhangde, he was worried that Emperor Xuande would not let him go and even planned to forcibly raise an army to rebel, but he was persuaded by Hu Yongxing, a long history.
Hu Yongxing told King Zhao that since Emperor Xuande could take care of his family affection and forgive the king of Han who committed the great crime of rebellion immortal, then he would definitely not move him lightly, and if he rebelled now, he would give people with ulterior motives the truth, and then the Ming army that rebelled against the king of Han would take advantage of the situation to exterminate him.
Under Hu Yongxing's persuasion, King Zhao dispelled the idea of rebellion and waited for news in the capital with trepidation.
Obviously, among the various vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhao is the most powerful, and he is the only vassal king with military power, and the ministers in the court will definitely not let him go.
But if he wants him to hand over the military power in his hand, King Zhao has some reluctance in his heart, after all, he still wants to sit on the throne of the Jinluan Palace, and if he wants to achieve this wish, he must have the military power in his hand.
However, when King Zhao saw the notes that impeached him, he knew that he couldn't keep the guards in his hands, so he wrote a letter of thanks and asked to cut off the guards of the palace.
After receiving the recital of King Zhao, Emperor Xuande was very relieved, and he relieved King Zhao of his military power and gave King Zhao a lot of rewards to show comfort, so that King Zhao could enjoy his old age in Zhangde.
Since then, the problem of vassal kings that plagued the Hongwu Dynasty, Jianwen Dynasty, Yongle Emperor and Hongxi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty has finally been completely solved here by Emperor Xuande.
At the end of April, Li Yuntian's home welcomed a distinguished guest, Yu Qian, who came to visit.
Yu Qian was appointed by Emperor Xuande as the governor of Jiangxi, and because Li Yuntian had served as a magistrate in Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Yu Qian asked him to inquire about the shape of Jiangxi.
Since Yu Qian was appointed by Emperor Xuande as one of the people who were responsible for the crimes of the King of Han, Li Yuntian knew that Yu Qian was going to be reused by Emperor Xuande, Yu Qian was not only favored by Yang Shiqi, but also had a friendship with Emperor Xuande when he was in Nanjing.
Li Yuntian enthusiastically introduced the situation in Jiangxi to Yu Qian, and left him for dinner, and the two talked happily.
Among the same Jinshi, although Yu Qian is not the closest person to Li Yuntian, the relationship between the two sides is very good, Yu Qian admires Li Yuntian very much, and Li Yuntian also treats him with courtesy, which can be described as sympathy.
In mid-May, Li Yuntian finally completed the reorganization of the Xiaowu Army according to the new military system, and the newly organized Xiaowu Army had one infantry division and one cavalry regiment, with a total strength of 13,500 men.
Among them, the infantry division has four regiments with a total of 10,500 people, each regiment has 2,250 people, and the rest are officers, service personnel and guard battalions in the division headquarters.
The cavalry regiment has four cavalry battalions, under the command of the infantry division, with a total of 3,000 people, including 2,100 cavalry, 800 baggage battalions, and the rest are officers, service personnel and guard companies at the regimental headquarters.
It is worth mentioning that the four regiments of the infantry division were formed on the basis of the four battalions of men and horses who were awarded the Four Holy Beast Military Banners by Li Yuntian in Heiniu Town, and the military flags of each regiment were the Qinglong Banner, the White Tiger Banner, the Vermilion Bird Banner and the Xuanwu Banner.
Because the cavalry regiment was newly formed, Li Yuntian also awarded it a military flag, which was a horse flying in the air with two wings, so it was called the "Tianma Flag" by people.
Since it was a new army, the officers of the infantry division and cavalry regiment were naturally held by the instructors, deputy instructors, and cadets of the lecture hall.
As the chief instructor of the lecture hall, Li Yuntian naturally became the commander of the infantry division of the Xiaowu Army, Li Daniu was appointed as the deputy division commander, the instructor and deputy instructor served as regimental-level officers, and the cadets served as battalion-level and company-level officers.
Since then, the teaching of the lecture hall has been moved to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and the instructors have to give lessons to the students while also training their own troops, and the entire camp in the suburbs of Beijing is a busy scene.
With the reorganization of the Xiaowu Army in accordance with the new military system, the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army finally changed into their long-awaited black uniforms, which were made under the supervision of Li Yuntian.
Although the uniforms of the regiments under the jurisdiction of the Xiaowu Army look the same, if you look closely, you will find that the armbands on their left arms are different, and the patterns on them are the flags of each regiment, so that you can know the identities of the soldiers.
Because of the heroic and handsome military uniforms of the Xiaowu Army, they quickly became popular in the capital and became the favorite of young people.
It's a pity that the military uniforms of the Xiaowu Army can only be worn by the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army, and others will suffer lawsuits if they wear them without permission, so the young people in the capital can only stare at them dryly.
Speaking of which, the military uniform of Xiaowujun is not only good-looking, but also has another function, that is, no one dares to provoke when walking on the street.
Not to mention that the Xiaowu Army has made a name for itself in the Battle of Black Bull Town, which makes the outside world know that they are brave in battle, and Emperor Xuande's special care for them alone makes people shy away when facing the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army.
You must know that in addition to Jinyiwei, only the officers of the Xiaowu Army were ordered by Emperor Xuande to use the embroidered spring knife, which shows the longevity of the saints, plus Li Yuntian, the newly promoted noble, who is full of food to provoke the people of the Xiaowu Army.
However, although the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army acted a little arrogantly, they did not dare to do anything wrong.
The reason is very simple, the people of the Xiaowu Military Law Team are wandering around the barracks and the capital all day and night, and if those guys are caught, no matter how big the official is, they will be dragged to the Military Law Team for punishment.
After the reorganization of the Xiaowu Army was completed, Li Yuntian fulfilled his promise in Heiniu Town, and led the officers above the regimental level of the Xiaowu Army to the theater of the Sifang Hall to listen to Lianxiang singing.
Lian Xiang is now a famous opera master in the capital, from the peddlers and pawns to the princes and generals, they all like to listen to her singing.
Due to Lianxiang's high value and more entertainment, the number of times she sings in person has decreased a lot, and the apprentices she accepted are singing on stage.
Since Li Yuntian came to see the play, Lian Xiang naturally took the stage in person and won bursts of applause from the audience.
Lian Xiang also made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of the Han King, if she hadn't accidentally discovered that King Zhao was secretly colluding with Xing'an Hou Qin Bogui, then Li Yuntian and Emperor Xuande would not have attached so much importance to King Zhao, and mobilized Niu Shihao and Liu Fang to attack him, so that King Zhao would not dare to act rashly.
Otherwise, once Zhao Dong gathered Qin Bogui's old ministry in Henan and went south to Nanjing, then Emperor Xuande would not only be forced to fight against the King of Han and King Zhao at the same time, but also make the vassal kings of the world respond in droves, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although Lian Xiang has made great contributions, it is really not suitable for her current status to take the stage to receive the award, so Li Yuntian asked Emperor Xuande for a favor, and issued a separate decree to Lian Xiang to commend her merits, and enshrined her as a Liupin'an person in recognition of her contributions.
When the theater ended, it was already dark at night, and Li Yuntian asked Li Daniu to lead the officers who were watching the theater to the dormitory of the lecture hall to rest, because the officers of the Xiaowu Army were basically instructors and deputy instructors of the lecture hall, so they had dormitories in the lecture hall.
As for Li Yuntian, he became a flower messenger to send Lianxiang home.
Lian Xiang has bought a big house in the capital, and brought her family from the countryside to live together, although she was sold into the Qinglou by her family, but she didn't hate her family in her heart, if she wasn't forced to do nothing, her parents wouldn't have sold her ruthlessly.!^!
