Chapter 71: Aftermath 3
Xianzong expanded the 10th regimental battalion into 12 battalions, which were named the four martial arts battalions of Fen, Yao, Lian and Xian, the four brave battalions of dare, fruitfulness, effectiveness and drumming, and the four powerful battalions of Li, Shen, Yang and Zhen.
The 12 regiments and battalions were divided into 12 military commanders, accompanied by commanders, and all the soldiers came from the three major battalions of the Beijing army, with a total strength of 140,000.
The Fenwu camp is located outside the city of Beijing, the camp is surrounded by a fence, and there are guard towers every 200 meters, and there are bed crossbows on the guard towers, but there are no sentries on them.
Due to the abandonment of the armament of the Beijing army, even the Beijing army defending the imperial capital could not resist the corrosion of time, and the weather was cold today, and there were only a few people practicing in the huge school martial arts field.
Although the commander of the Fenwu camp is Yongkang Hou Xu Qian, the children of Wuxun are all born with golden keys, and once it is winter, they will not come to the military camp at all.
Although Wu Xun also has capable generals, it is not high in proportion, and it is more of a straw bale noble like the British Gong Zhang Mao who continues to enjoy the glory and wealth of Beijing City.
It is precisely because of this that the real leaders of the 12th Regiment Battalion today are the commanders who have the support of the big men behind them, and they will stay in the barracks every day to deal with affairs.
In the Chinese military tent, the smell of meat came to the nose.
Chen Shulin sat on a tiger skin chair, with a copper stove on the low table in front of him, where he was happily soaking mutton, and there were small soldiers helping to warm wine next to him.
Since he was promoted to the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, his life has been very nourishing, and now he can drink wine and eat meat every day, and beat and scold the soldiers under him casually.
Chen Shulin was humming a little song and eating a little wine, and suddenly heard a military horn sounding outside, and reprimanded the soldiers who came in: "Who is blowing the military horn indiscriminately and disturbing General Ben's Yaxing?" ”
I'm eating meat here and humming a little song, and I want to go outside to get frozen, isn't this a beating?
"Your Excellency, someone from the palace just came to say that His Majesty has appointed the eunuch of the Overseer Army to take charge of the military affairs of the Fenwu Battalion!" The pro-soldier who came in from the outside had red noses from the cold, and pointed outside anxiously.
"Overseer Eunuch? Isn't this going to ride on Lao Tzu's head and make a fortune? Let's go, I'll have to take a look! Chen Shulin immediately dropped the chopsticks in his hand and stood up very resistantly.
The outskirts of Beijing City were already freezing, and at this time, a cold wind was blowing on the high platform of the school's martial arts field.
Zhang Yongfu stood in the center of the high platform, looking at the soldiers who had gathered slowly, and seeing such a loose military discipline, he finally knew why His Majesty wanted to teach them to govern the army in person.
If they don't manage the army well, these people will not only fail to complete the mission of protecting their families and defending the country, but will also become bloodsuckers attached to the Ming Dynasty.
"From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of eunuchs commanding the army, I can't wait!"
"Yes, I can't wait, why should the elite of our Fenwu Battalion listen to a dead eunuch who has no eggs!"
"Not bad! How can we wait for hot-blooded men to obey the eunuchs, ask the court to take back the order, and continue to use the old system! ”
……
In the face of this decree of the imperial court, the senior officers present immediately objected after seeing Chen Shulin who came out of the big tent.
It's not all because of Chen Shulin, many soldiers really feel disgraced about the eunuch leadership, so they also express their opposition with everyone.
Zhang Yongju looked condescendingly at the angry soldiers in the audience, but he knew that this situation would occur, and he was even more prepared that His Majesty had already expected such a situation, but his eyes were full of contempt.
If these soldiers are really elite divisions, they do lack some masculinity, and they are not suitable to become the commanders of elite divisions. It's just that judging from this scattered barracks, it's just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.
Since His Majesty has handed over the Fenwu Battalion to him, then he will not let His Majesty down, and he must build this army into an iron-blooded army.
No matter how loud the dog barks, it will eventually let them know who their owner is.
"This father-in-law is so good-looking!" Chen Shulin led his own soldiers to the high platform, originally dissatisfied with the emperor sending a eunuch to take over the military camp, but now seeing such a young eunuch, he was even more disdainful.
Hush!
After feeling the smell of Chen Shulin's fire, the whistling of the soldiers below suddenly rang out, but they cheered for Chen Shulin one after another, and at the same time vented their dissatisfaction in this way.
If the imperial court sent a big eunuch like Wang Zhi down, they might still accept it, but it was indeed a shame to let a little eunuch with no hair grow to lead them.
Now that Chen Shulin is coming out, then they naturally want to cheer, and it is best to drive this young eunuch back to the palace.
"Commander Chen, give him a little color and take a look!"
"Commander Chen, our Fenwu Battalion can't succumb to a eunuch!"
"Commander Chen, our brothers are all your soldiers, you can't be soft!"
……
All the soldiers in the audience knew that Chen Shulin was a strong character, and now that they saw that Chen Shulin had come to power, they were coaxing one after another.
Chen Shulin raised his hand to the nearly 10,000 soldiers in the audience, and the following immediately became silent, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart, so he looked at Zhang Yong with a provocative gaze.
This is his Chen Shulin's territory, you little eunuch get out of the way for Lao Tzu.
Zhang Yong naturally felt the arrogance and contempt of the other party, so he said lightly: "Chen Shulin, the commander of the Fenwu Battalion? ”
"It's General Ben, I don't know what my father-in-law commands?" Chen Shulin looked at this young eunuch who was a head shorter than himself with disdain, looking cynical.
Zhang Yong didn't pay attention to Chen Shulin, and looked slightly sideways at the accompanying eunuch and said, "Xuan!" ”
"Chen Shulin, the commander of the Fenwu Battalion, many affairs of the Fenwu Battalion are now taken over by Zhang Yong's father-in-law, and you will stay home for the time being!" The accompanying eunuchs should even announce the holy oracle.
"You must be pretentious!" Chen Shulin knelt down to listen to the oracle, but suddenly questioned indignantly.
Zhang Yong's brows frowned slightly, and he looked at Chen Shulin and said, "Do you want to obey?" ”
"Huh...... Such a ridiculous oracle must be a false edict, even if General Ben agrees, the tens of thousands of brothers under General Ben ......! Chen Shulin knew that idleness was equivalent to dismissal, so he pointed to his subordinates and threatened.
Just a cold light flashed, Chen Shulin's words came to an abrupt end, and a stream of blood splattered up.
In everyone's eyes, they saw that Chen Shulin's head had been cut off, his head rolled off the stage, and Chen Shulin's eyes looked dead.
"Dead?"
He ...... He killed Chen Papi? ”
"How is it possible, this eunuch is too fierce, right?"
……
The soldiers in the audience couldn't help but muttered dumbfounded when they saw Zhang Yong actually killing Chen Shulin in public, from drawing his knife to swinging it.
Zhang Yong put the bloody knife back into the sheath, looked at the soldiers below proudly, and said: "The miscellaneous family is ordered to supervise the army, and anyone who violates the order will be killed!" Whoever dares to disobey will be disobeyed and will be killed! ”
"The Last General meets the Overseer!"
The generals exchanged glances, and soon realized that this young eunuch was a ruthless character who dared to die, and immediately chose to kneel down in submission.
Zhang Yong knew that the goal of killing people had been achieved, and when he announced the first order, he said: "Your Majesty wants an iron-blooded army who can protect the family and defend the country, not a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and from today onwards, it will be changed to one exercise every five days!" ”
"The last general obeys!" The generals suddenly felt the chrysanthemum tight, but they knew that this time the court was really moving, so they chose to succumb to the authenticity.
Although under Zhang Yong's iron-fisted means, he successfully took over the Fenwu Battalion, but the takeover of the other eleven battalions will inevitably have some situations, after all, it is impossible for every eunuch to be as decisive as Zhang Yong.
In the martial arts training camp, the eunuch Gu Kaiyuan was commanded to make Luo Li counteract; In the Guoyong camp, the eunuch Gao Jin was so frightened by the commander that he fled; In the Yangwei camp, the eunuch Ma Quan was commanded to make Zhou Lie fight back.
"Commander Zhou is mighty!"
When the soldiers of the Yangwei battalion saw Zhou Lie beheading Ma Quan, the eunuch who came to lead them, they were slightly stunned at first, and then burst out in a voice like a mountain shout.
Zhu Youji's takeover of the 12th regiment and battalion was undoubtedly radical, after all, in the current system of the 12th regiment and battalion, Wenchen, Wuxun and the royal family formed a tripartite co-management model.
He can first send twelve eunuchs to supervise the army like Emperor Chenghua, and take charge of the twelve regiments and battalions with Wenchen and Wuxun, and then recount the plot. It's just that Zhu Youzhu is now directly letting Wuxun and the civil official group out, but he wants the eunuch to take charge of the army for him.
When he ascended the throne, he didn't care about the 12 regiments and battalions at all, but now he suddenly wants 12 commanders who actually control the army to be out, especially these commanders are used to being powerful in the army, and some commanders will definitely not be able to accept it.
After all, now they are all Emperor Wen of the Ming Dynasty, and they climbed to this position not from the emperor, but with the thighs of Wuxun or Wenchen, why did the emperor say that he would withdraw?
"Spread my word, the whole city is on alert, and the traitors are investigated!" What Zhu Youzhu wants is to use this kind of urgency to find out the slippery general, and even give an order.
