The military system of the Great Wei Dynasty, from the Beijing division to the county and county, all have guards, and the key places are set up in one government and two are guarded.

The establishment of Wei is between 4500~5600 people, which has changed with the data since the founding of the country.

1,120 people are 1,000 households, 112 people are 100 households, 50 people are general flags, and 10 people are small flags.

This is the approximate number of guards.

Because Huguang is located in the center of the north and south, and is the middle section of the river, it not only controls the north and south, but also is the first gateway of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, in recent years, Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other places have changed rice to mulberry, and the fields have become more and more popular economic plants, and Huguang Province has become the granary of the whole country, with the reputation of "Huguang is ripe, the world is full".

Some people may not understand what the name Huguang means.

As the name suggests, many two-legged bookcases are considered to be the Hunan and Hubei regions in the north and south of Dongting Lake, as well as the Guangxi and Guangdong regions, which are collectively called "Huguang".

In fact, it is not, Guangxi and Guangdong are excluded, and the word "lake" in Huguang is the Hunan and Hubei mentioned above.

And "wide" represents the vastness!

In later generations, the territory of the two provinces has now become one province, can it not be vast?

To get back to the point, because Huguang is important, the imperial court has always been garrisoned with heavy troops, and it is also one of the areas with the largest garrison in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Because the Huguang Guard and the Tusi are intertwined and coexist, administratively, the Weisu is subordinate to the Huguang Metropolitan Division, and the Tumiao District Governor's Office is subordinate to the Guizhou Wei under the rule of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division in the Sichuan region.

Although the distribution of Huguangwei is relatively chaotic, it is not without rules.

Xu He stood by the map, pointed to the map and explained to Emperor Zhizheng: "Huguang's Weisu Weichen summed up that it can be divided into two points, two pieces, one line, and one group. ”

"The so-called two points are Wuchang Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion that lost the city and land this time."

"Two pieces, one is Daozhou, Guiyang Prefecture, and Chenzhou, which border Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi's Nanling area! The first is the Han-soil mixed area bordering Shizhou and Yongshun in the west of Lizhou. ”

"The first line is what Weichen has said before, from Hu Guangchen, Yuan, through Pingxi, Qinglang, Zhenyuan, Biqiao, Xinglong Wuwei, access to Guizhou Dusi, last time the minister estimated that the thieves went north, it was from this line. Later, they chose the more hidden Guizhou town far away! ”

"One regiment is the Wukaiwei region! This has nothing to do with today's events, so leave it at that! (Qiandongnan Prefecture in later generations)! ”

"The officers and troops of our Great Wei garrison in Wuchang Mansion are nearly 100,000 people, and before that, because of the prevention of thieves from entering the lake, Che Chun mobilized Jiangxia Wei, Wuchangwei and other surrounding guards to be stationed in Huangmei and Wuchang. There are about 200,000 troops here. ”

"Although Che Chun rushed to Xiangyang with a small number of soldiers and horses this time, and the army was still stationed in Wuchang, but without a leader, the worst result was that the 200,000 garrison troops of the imperial court were wiped out!"

When Xu He said this, Emperor Zhizheng's face was already extremely ugly.

In this era, few people so clearly summarized and reported the garrison situation of a province to the emperor.

Most of the reports are where how many people died today and how many troops the court has assembled tomorrow.

In the end, where and how long did the two sides fight, and how many dead and wounded.

As a result, there is no result.

The reason why Emperor Zhizheng often recruited Xu He into the palace recently was because he was familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers, and he was very familiar with the military system of the guard.

In the words of later generations, he was a very qualified staff officer who could be consulted at any time.

Through his explanation, Emperor Zhizheng can intuitively and clearly understand what the current situation on the front line is like?

"What about the other health centers? How many more people? ”

"There are still 100,000 people on the books!"

Emperor Zhizheng was shocked and said, "Didn't you just say something [two points], [two pieces], [one line], and [one group]?" What about the guards and people in these places? ”

Xu He explained: "Although Wuchang is still unclear about the battle situation, it belongs to the war zone, excluding the officers and troops on the front line of Wuchang and Huangmei, and there are still three guards of Tusi Fifteen Guards, Jiayu, Puqi and Xianning, with a total strength of 100,000 people. ”

The emperor actually knew in his heart that the so-called 100,000 people had a terrifying amount of water in it, and the real main force of Huguang was now only two, one was the road to Wuchang, and the other was the way where the original Yunyang Mansion was prepared to enter Sichuan and anti-thieves enter Shaanxi.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in Yunyang now?" ”

Xu He thought for a while: "According to the results agreed between His Majesty and the cabinet ministers last time, there should be about 4,000 people in Yunyang now!" ”

This number directly silenced Emperor Zheng.

In other words, the only troops available to Huguang now are more than 4,000 people who can really be dispatched freely.

"Spread the decree, after Zuo Sizhong arrived in Shaanxi, he quickly led the Shaanxi soldiers south to join the Yunyang soldiers and encircle and suppress the thieves!"

These are the past two days, and the emperor has personally issued a decree to urge Zuo Sizhong.

However, it is estimated that the emperor himself knows that it is unrealistic to expect Zuo Sizhong to go south.

In the rest of the roads, only the Sichuan Guards went out of Sichuan or Sheng Zhengqi could solve the thieves in the Lingguan Pass and go north.

None of these can quench your thirst.

Wuchang can only rely on itself at present, and the imperial court can only wait for news.

It's really exciting.

At this moment, Chen Hong outside the door probed his brain and looked into the hall.

Emperor Zhizheng was in a bad mood, and when he saw the slave and the thief's eyebrows, he was immediately furious: "Get in!" ”

Chen Hong didn't do anything, he was hit by an electric cannon in the head, and suddenly walked in aggrieved.

Emperor Zhizheng looked at him like that, and his heart was even more angry: "What's the matter? ”

Chen Hong whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, Guo Zhu sent a message to the palace, saying, saying ......"

"I'll let him go out and get ten boards, Wang Ji, how do you train people, you can't even say a word!"

Wang Ji glared at Chen Hong and said, "Your Majesty asked, why don't you answer quickly." ”

Chen Hong cried and said: "Guo Zhu led people into the palace to report that Yu Ji was killed!" ”

"What?"

Xu He looked at Chen Hong in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

Yanzhou Bo Yuji, no matter how you say it, it was also a hereditary court earl, and he was killed?

Is this related to the imperial court's re-investigation of the case of the former military governor's office?

Emperor Zhizheng only felt that his temples were buzzing, and he forced himself to ask, "Who did it?" ”

"It is said that it was a raid on the Huguang Xingdu Division, and the documents for the raid were repeatedly seized when he entered Beijing, and in a fit of anger, this person assassinated Yanzhou Bo Yuji on the street!"

"What about people? Did you catch it? ”

"He didn't leave, when he was arrested, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and the Jinyi guard took the person without much effort, and is now locked up in the edict!"

Xu He's heart was also shocked at the moment, Luo Qingxiao, a little person he had been in contact with, actually assassinated Yu Ji on the street?

Was he doing it for the job?

Crime of passion?

On the spur of the moment?
