Chapter 244: The King of the World (7)
The middle battalion, the rear battalion is the main combat force of the Dashun army, there are still many veterans, the combat effectiveness has not decreased much, this time the operation is based on the middle battalion, the rear battalion is the main force, and the other surrendered Ming troops have been partially restored, and they are mainly defensive, and they are not afraid of the Qing army's attack.
In order to prevent the Qing army from eating the Chongzhen court in one go, Li Zicheng ordered the right battalion to be on the south side of Taiyuan Mansion and the left battalion to the north side of Taiyuan Mansion, and the two troops took on the role of "protecting" the Chongzhen Dynasty, not letting the Qing army destroy the Chongzhen court, but also preventing the Chongzhen Dynasty from advancing by leaps and bounds.
Chongzhen's court is crying and scolding, the minister of civil and military affairs who came to Chongzhen came to Taiyuan Mansion after a lot of hardships, thinking that he could restore the glory of the Ming Dynasty in Taiyuan Mansion, who knew that the small court in Jiangnan would do such a thing without a lower limit.
Zhu Youzhen himself can think about it, he is in the palace built for him by Jin Dashou, and he wears a song every day, and it seems that he is as high as the emperor of Ying Tianfu, but in fact, it is some trivial things.
For example, a certain village man broke out in a fight with another Tunzi homeless person, and he appointed an official in this county town, and gave him a trick, which was actually to give him eye medicine, but he still thought that he was diligent in serving the people.
made Zhu Youzhen angry and laughing, he was a dignified tomorrow, and he had to make a holy decree for this bit of.
In fact, he didn't know that these twists and turns sent to him were controlled by Ling Jingyang in the back, in order to prevent those civil and military officials who came to defect from gossiping, Ling Jingyang gave Zhu Youzhen face.
As long as it is an official who comes, Wenchen is given a fief, the first product Wenchen covers a county seat, the second product is three villages, the second product is two villages, and the fourth product is a village.
But Zhu Youzhen was in Yuci City for two months, and all the officials who came were some officials below the fifth grade, and not a single civil official above the fourth grade was seen, and the officials who came to defect were also reused, and they were all promoted by half a level above the imperial court, but the specific work was assigned to various villages.
With their ability, there is basically no problem in managing a village well, and many villages, tunzi, ordinary people, and displaced people have regained their vitality one after another, the population has begun to increase, the abandoned land has been cultivated, and the local order has been restored.
Military generals are different, as long as they are military generals who come to defect, all officers below the rank of 1,000 generals are assigned to the local army as middle and low-level officers.
Their soldiers are divided into two parts, generally follow the generals to garrison in various places, and the other one is all in Yuci City to accept the reorganization, after the reorganization is completed, some of the old, young, sick and disabled who are not suitable for being soldiers are discharged by Lei Ling, to various places in Tuntian, and the remaining elite soldiers are all supplemented to the defenders of Yuci City.
Ling Jingyang is the governor of the five armies, he does this to control the army, and he can't be in a high place, but he is overthrown by the people below and loses his military power.
After dispersing the army that came to defect, he also reorganized his army, and he ingeniously divided his army into five troops, but each unit was different from the Ming army, and all were named after the legions.
Zhang Luofu's troops were stationed in Fenzhou, where the population was large, and Zhang Luofu was appointed as the commander of the reserve corps, Dong Daqi was the garrison of Fenzhou, and Lin Erle was the prefect of Fenzhou.
Ling Jingyang also ordered Wang Mu to send tax envoys to all parts of the jurisdiction to be responsible for the taxes in various regions, and appointed Li Rufeng's cavalry corps commander envoy, stationed in Xugou City, the cavalry battalion was mobile and strong, and did not enjoy local tax privileges, and all supplies were supplied by the central government.
Leng Rutie was reorganized into the Central Army, Leng Rutie was the commander, Murong Tu was reorganized into the Left Wing Army, Niu Guangtian was the Right Wing Army, and the two adults each served as the commander of the legion. , the left and right legions were stationed on the east and west sides of Yuci City, and all supplies were also supplied by the central government.
The level of these two legions is a little lower than that of Zhang Luofu and Leng Rutie Legion, which is also based on the strength of each branch, Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian's soldiers and horses are not as good as Zhang Luofu and Leng Rutie, and the two of them later defected to Ling Jingyang, and they were not at all dissatisfied with this appointment.
As for the Iron Fist Battalion, Ling Jingyang imitated a certain iron-blooded army in later generations and reorganized it into the Iron Fist Legion, the number of troops is not large, only 2,000 people, but only accepts and obeys Ling Jingyang's orders, and others have no right to transfer this force, Fang Xiaoyan serves as the commander of the thousand, and Lao Mantou is the camp officer, undertaking non-military tasks such as logistics of the Iron Fist Legion.
After the reorganization of the army was completed, Ling Jingyang ordered all departments to actively expand the troops and horses in the area under their jurisdiction, and within two months, the reserve corps soared from more than 2,000 to more than 6,000, but like other troops, most of the officers and soldiers were new recruits, and the combat effectiveness did not increase with the increase in numbers.
The Central Army is stationed in Yuci City, has a unique advantage, and gives priority to absorbing many soldiers and horses who came to defect to Emperor Chongzhen, and the whole army has more than 8,000 soldiers, most of whom have more than half a year of military experience, and the strength is the strongest.
The left-wing army and the right-wing army have also been strengthened to varying degrees, Murong Tu and Niu Guangtian were originally local generals in Shanxi, and the recruitment of troops in Shanxi was very smooth, and there were constantly old subordinates who came to defect to the two, and the strength of the two armies was also expanded to more than 4,000 people.
Only the cavalry corps, because both war horses and cavalry need time to train, the cavalry corps has barely expanded from more than 200 to more than 600 people, which is still to give Li Rufeng the 200 cavalry brought by Baidun to achieve this strength.
As for Bai Dun and Wang Bao were appointed as the deputy commanders of Yuci City, responsible for the security of Yuci City, etc., Bai Dun also accepted this appointment, saying that it was a false position, but he did not have much real power, and after accepting this position, the troops he brought were also scattered into various troops.
Ling Jingyang exerted his fists and feet in Yuci City, because all the troops and horses were strengthened, and in the face of the Qing army and the Hongguang Imperial Court's attack, there was no panic, and he ordered all the troops and horses to be stationed in the local area, and did not receive a military order, and did not give up the jurisdiction.
He also ordered the cavalry corps to conduct pre-war scouting activities, and hundreds of cavalry moved in the direction of Qinzhou under the leadership of Li Rufeng and Wang Hong.
Qinzhou was garrisoned by Jiang Xuan at this time, he and Li Rufeng had a very good personal relationship, the cavalry corps arrived in Qinzhou, Jiang Xuan not only let Li Rufeng's troops pass by, but also gave Li Rufeng to replenish grain and grass, so that Li Rufeng was very moved.
That night, the two of them drank and talked happily, so lively, when they were excited, Jiang Xuan decided to go to Lu'an Prefecture with Li Rufeng, and met the soldiers and horses of the small court of Yingtianfu who came here for a while.
