Chapter 36 The Heavenly Khan rebuilds the three major battalions
"Your understanding of the instrument needs to be deepened."
Li Yunze, who looked calm, stroked Liu Ruye's hair, "But don't worry, you can take your time." ”
Liu Ruyi, who was stumbling between words, finally held back a sentence, "The concubine knows, and she must practice diligently in the future." ”
"Okay." Li Yunze praised the head of the jaw "continue to work hard~~~"
"It's important to pay attention to the breath and the way you play with the instrument."
"The concubine knows."
At the end of the oral education, Li Yunze casually asked, "You have nothing to do, what do you do on weekdays." ”
Liu Ru, who returned from drinking tea and rinsing his mouth, responded softly, "I mostly play some leaf plays, or go to Yuxi Palace to listen to music and watch plays." ”
"It's good to play mahjong, this is the quintessence of the country." Li Yunze paused, and then smiled and said, "I'm waiting, I'll also play leaf play with you." ”
After resting for a while, Li Yunze, who felt that he was doing it again, said with a smile, "I have recently learned a new set of stick techniques, and I want to show one or two with my concubine." ”
Liu Ru covered her mouth and chuckled, "The concubine is waiting." ”
Li Yunze, who has been free recently, doesn't need him to do much every day.
In the morning, I work on the concert, I go out to ride horses and run laps in the afternoon, and when the weather is bad, I go to practice archery.
After dinner, I studied musical instrument theory with the girls.
For him, it was a rare leisure time.
It's just that if you want to be a good emperor instead of a faint king, this kind of leisure time is destined to be short-lived.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, there are still a few days left before the New Year's Day, and Man Gui finally returned.
Man Gui, a figure who is not very famous in the history books.
The reason why the reputation is not obvious, on the one hand, is because he died too early, and when Jin first entered the Kou Pass two years after Chongzhen, he died in close combat in Jingshizuo.
In addition, there is another reason that Man Gui is from Mongolia.
His ancestors moved to Yanzhou in the Yuan Dynasty before the Yuan Dynasty, and later voted for the Ming Dynasty to make military merits and moved to Xuanfu as an official with the army.
By the time of Mangui's generation, the family road had already fallen.
Although Man Gui himself has outstanding strength, he has made many military exploits after enlisting in the army. But he was almost fifty years old before he achieved the rank of acting chief soldier, that is, the position of hanging the name of the chief soldier.
In addition to the fact that there is no one to support in the DPRK, his Mongolian identity is also an important reason.
waited until Li Yunze promoted him to be transferred to the Beijing Division, which could be regarded as a real rise to prominence.
Man Gui was grateful for the emperor's kindness, and when he was ordered to recruit manpower, he did his best.
Seeing Li Yunze personally go out of the city to greet him, Man Gui hurriedly got off the horse, and walked forward quickly to salute, "How can the minister be virtuous, long live to greet him, capital crime." ”
"Aiqing, please get up."
Untied the fox fur cloak on his body and put it on Man Gui, Li Yunze helped him up with a sincere expression, "The Qing family is for the Ming people, not being bullied by the Tartars, and running around and working hard is a great merit for the country." It is only natural that I have come to meet you. Because the Qing family is the pillar of optimus that guards the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”
These words really put Man Gui in a very high position, but none of the generals around him were angry.
First of all, Mangui's qualifications are high enough, and under normal circumstances, seniority also increases when he gets older.
On the other hand, it is because Man Gui has real achievements.
Known as the most important victories in the Apocalypse years, the Battle of Ningyuan and the Battle of Ningjin, Man Gui was one of the main commanders of the Ming army.
has qualifications and military exploits, Zhao led Cao Bianjiao and others, of course, there is nothing to say.
"Hooray~~~"
has been a veteran of his life and has long been a veteran who is moody, and he was also moved to tears at this time.
For a general like him, the biggest pursuit in his life is to meet a king who is compatible with him.
Wei Qinghuo got sick and got along with Han Wu, and the two of them were famous through the ages.
Feng Tang Li Guang and Han Wu did not get along, and the two only fell into the reputation of 'Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is difficult to seal'.
It's so hard to have a king who understands himself.
"Aiqing doesn't need to be like this." Li Yunze, who had a gentle smile, supported Man Gui's shoulders, "Let's introduce me to the recruited warriors first." ”
"Yes."
"Long live, the minister recruited more than 5,000 people from the grassland this time, all of whom are warriors who are willing to die for the Ming Dynasty."
Since Lan Yu eliminated the small court of Mengyuan in the Battle of Yuerhai, the Mongol Empire of Nuoda has completely collapsed.
After that, although the various tribes continued to rise and fall, and even had the glorious victory of Wara capturing the god of war alive, the scattered situation did not have the slightest sense of relief.
Up to now, although the nominal boss of the steppe is Lin Dan Khan, what he can really master is the Chahar Department.
Tribes such as Horqin took refuge in Houjin.
Duoyan Sanwei and other tribes took refuge in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, there is more grass on the wall, which is poured on whichever side is windy.
They don't have a concept of a country, and whoever can give enough benefits will work with whomever they want.
Man Gui was very famous among the tribes, and when he went out to recruit cavalry with his guards and a large amount of food, the herdsmen of the tribes came to vote.
Because of the quota limit, Man Gui spent a lot of energy and time on strict selection.
As he said, those who can be recruited by the high salaries are all warriors from various tribes.
Bow horses are skilled or something, those are basic qualities.
Accompanied by Man Gui, Li Yunze inspected these warriors from the grassland.
Most of them are powerful and have a strong eye.
If you look at their lap legs, you can see that they have all grown up on horseback since childhood.
What a good cannon fodder, it can definitely play a huge role on the battlefield with the Tartars.
Standing in front of a group of tribal warriors, Li Yunze asked, "Are you willing to serve me?" ”
Many warriors all looked at the strong man at the head, and the strong man replied in stammering Chinese, "As long as the food and salary of the Tian Khan are enough, the lives of the warriors will be the life of the Tian Khan." ”
What a pure person, as long as the money is in place, anything can be done.
Li Yunze smiled with satisfaction, the last thing he lacked now was money and food.
"Long live, the minister has recruited more than 3,000 horsemen in various military towns in the Northland." Man Gui followed by an introduction to the cavalry he dug from the foot of the wall on the nine sides, "all of them are brave men who have seen battles with the Tartars." ”
The purpose of recruiting warriors from the grassland tribes is to be cannon fodder, to bring the old to the new, and to have a guide who is familiar with the inside story when he goes north to the grassland in the future.
However, the real core force must be selected from the Ming army.
The more than 3,000 horsemen brought by Man Gui were all close to the Jiading level in the military towns in the Northland.
Being able to recruit so many people is that on the one hand, Man Gui's face is big enough and the emperor's prestige is strong enough.
On the other hand, the money and money they are giving out far exceeds their current income.
has benefits and reputation, plus Sun Chengzong's coordination and guidance, and gives some compensation to those generals, things are going well.
Of course, this number is the limit, and it is impossible to think of more moves.
For the generals, that is the real old book.
Under the pressure of various reasons, it is no problem to throw out some of them, but if you lose too much, it will be a dead death.
Looking at the Ming cavalry riding tall horses, Li Yunze casually asked, "How many are the Guanning iron cavalry?" ”
"Most of them."
The Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was smashed out with millions of taels of Liao salary every year, is still good in combat effectiveness, and it is no problem to even hedge with Houjin.
The real problem is that they are no longer the imperial court, not the emperor's soldiers and horses, but the private armies of various military leaders.
Man Gui was able to get so many elites from Guanning Tieqi, and Li Yunze still admired it very much.
This is face, this is ability.
"Not bad." Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, "Coupled with the manpower drawn from the Beijing camp, the guards in various places in Beijing, and the military towns in the Guannai, and the newly recruited recruits, we can gather enough 20,000 horses to rebuild the five military camps." ”
Looking at Man Gui with a frosty face in front of him, Li Yunze sincerely said, "Qing awarded the right governor of the capital of the five armies, led the five military battalions as the chief military officer, and added the prince and the young master." ”
Grateful to the sobbing Mangui, he immediately made a big gift "Thank you for your grace~~~"
Turning his head to look at Zhao Shujiao and the others, "Zhao Qing's family awarded the former governor of the five armies, plus the prince and the young master, the Tiger Ben Army merged with the Shenshu Battalion, and the Qing family led the chief officer of the Shenshu Battalion." Lu Qing's family led the deputy chief soldier of the Shenshu battalion. ”
"The Longxiang Army merged with the Shenji Battalion, and Cao Wen awarded the Governor of the Five Armies the Governor of the Left Governor's Office, the chief officer of the Shenji Battalion, and the prince Shaobao. Cao Bianjiao led the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion. Before Cao Qing's family returned, Xiao Cao's general army led the Shenji battalion. ”
"I want to rebuild the three major battalions, and the princes must not live up to the prestige of the Beijing camp!"
"Also, grant the stone pillar to comfort Qin Liangyu to lead the five armies to the governor's mansion and the rear governor, add the prince and the prince, and supervise the military affairs of Sichuan and Guizhou. The inner government allocated 2 million taels of silver, 800,000 stones of grain, and 30,000 stones of salt to send to the army. ordered him to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. ”
Shizhu Xuan's consolation envoy was Ma Qiancheng, and after his death, because his son was too young, his wife Qin Liangyu took the husband's position.
Qin Liangyu's ability is outstanding, and his reputation is also extremely high.
When the Chinese dynasties were revising the history books, female celebrities were recorded in the female biographies.
And the only exception is Qin Liangyu.
She is the same as a man, as a famous general, she was passed on independently, and recorded in the official history of the heroine.
This is a treatment that Mulan, Mu Guiying and others do not have.
As for the Rebellion, it was a local Tusi rebellion that had been going on for almost a decade.
In the first year of the Apocalypse, the Sichuan soldiers went north to Liaodong to fight against Houjin, and Yongning Xuanfu made Hao Chongming take advantage of the emptiness of Sichuan and Shu troops to launch a rebellion and raid, and there was a lot of trouble for a while.
After that, he was defeated and fled south, and united with Shuixi Xuanfu to make An Bangyan continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
This rebellion launched by the Tusi consumed a lot of time, manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, and it was time to solve it as soon as possible.
Looking around at the many generals, Li Yunze raised his horsewhip and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I intend to send troops to Liaodong next year. ”
There was a commotion in all directions.
Since the Battle of Salhu in the 47th year of Wanli, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly in the face of the Houjin for many years, and has completely lost the strategic initiative and can only be beaten passively.
Now that the emperor is actually going to send troops, many people already want to advise.
Wielding the horsewhip vigorously, Li Yunze shouted sharply, "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much!" ”
"What you have to do is to straighten out the troops and horses as soon as possible and train them strictly. When the time is ripe, I will personally lead you out of the customs to suppress the rebellion. ”
"Work hard, and I will never hesitate to reward after the deed is done!"
